Liu Zhan listened carefully, and immediately began to ponder, wasn't Liang Jinzinc, the Huai'an Patrol Salt Imperial Shi, captured by the water bandit Chen Yan? Why, how did he get to Shen Yixian, the "Xiao Sheng", could there be fraud in it? This is an important piece of information, but it is unsubstantiated and requires direct witnesses. From their mouths, Liu Zhan learned that one of them was the little leader of the escort officer Yan, named Chen Yangshi, who turned out to be a water bandit who "turned over the river dragon", and walked over with an idea to start a family relationship with Chen Yangshi. As a result, the two of them are still fellow countrymen, Liu Zhan wants to come to the best wine, you drink a glass and I drink it one by one. When it was almost dawn, there was no one around, and the two of them were still drinking.

When the fleet left the dock, Chen Yangshi was left behind, and the bandits drank in a daze, and the boatmen were not familiar with them, and a few people were nothing. The fleet walked for nearly an hour before Chen Yangshi remembered, and hurriedly went out to the dock to see that there was no shadow of the fleet. Liu Zhan followed behind him, Chen Yangshi woke up most of the time, and was about to complain about Liu Zhan when he turned around, but Liu Zhan pulled out a knife and pointed at him and said, "Do you know who I am?"

Chen Yangshi was a little stupid, and asked in a daze, "Who are you?"

"Dongchang's 'sitting', that is, the detective who specializes in monitoring officials' misconduct, I heard everything you said at the wine table just now. You are a 'river dragon' water bandit, robbing the official salt, it is a capital crime, and the crime is unforgivable. Come with me. ”

Chen Yangshi turned around and ran with a false punch, Liu Zhan made a light effort, and caught up in a few steps, and the two fought for a few rounds Chen Yangshi was subdued, knelt down and begged for mercy and said: "Brother Liu, I can't beat you, but I know that the cat in it is greasy, the official salt was not hijacked by the 'Turning River Dragon', Chen Yan had already been slaughtered by Shen Gongzi, and they pretended to be the 'Turning River Dragon' to hijack the fleet of Huai'an Patrol Salt Imperial Shi Liang Jinzin." ”

"Is it true?"

"It's true. ”

Liu Zhan said with a smile: "When you go to Dongchang, tell Liu Jing and Lord Liu to go, tell everything you know, and when you confirm their conspiracy as a witness, maybe you will be able to soar in the future." ”

Chen Yangshi completely succumbed. and Liu Zhan went to the capital.

Besides, the fleet had not been gone for a long time, and Shen Yixian received a report from the people below that a small leader was missing, and he may have stayed on the shore and did not get on the boat. Shen Yixian became vigilant, and hurriedly inquired carefully, and learned that this person's name was Chen Yangshi, who was Chen Yan's personal guard, and his heart sank and he knew that something was not good. This Chen Yangshi knows everything, and if the great eunuch Liu Jing gets it, it will be a big deal. After discussing with Ou Hanbing, Xue Nanyan, the "narcissus" next to him, said: "Shen Gongzi, this person will be handed over to me, and they must have gone to the capital along the official road." It's not a long time, and it should be able to catch up. ”

Ou Hanbing asked with concern, "Can you do it yourself?"

Xue Nanyan replied: "It's okay to deal with a little water bandit, I'll go and arrest him and hand him over to you to deal with." ”

After saying that, she jumped into the water and disappeared.

"Narcissus" Xue Nanyan came and went freely in the river, and her skirt was not wet after going ashore, because she had stayed in Jinyiwei, she was familiar with the official road, followed and pursued, and soon came to Jiayu County, from here to the capital by land there are more than 2,000 miles. So Xue Nanyan is not in a hurry, she has time. Entered Jiayu County to find an inn to live in, and I didn't want to meet the person who haunted her.

The "God of Arrows" Lanling Xilai came to Sichuan to carry out a special mission, which was privately given to him by the emperor.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di called him into the deep palace. He said to him very mysteriously: "Aiqing, I have a very important matter for you to handle personally. Lan Lingxi was a little surprised, Zhu Di had never spoken to him in this tone, this was not the tone of an emperor to his courtiers. It was as if the father was begging for his children, and he was deeply panicked, and hurriedly replied, "The minister doesn't dare." Please let the emperor make it clear. ”

Zhu Di looked at him with a smile and asked, "Have you heard about the annihilation of the entire army of the Daming Water Master in the Minjiang River?"

Lan Lingxi was secretly surprised, in fact, the news of the annihilation of the entire Minjiang Daming Water Division had already spread, and only the emperor was hidden, can such a big thing be hidden, the courtiers can pretend to be stupid, but he Lan Lingxi can't pretend to be stupid. Jin Yiwei's task is to monitor the ministers, collect information and report to the emperor in a timely manner, obviously he is derelict in his duties, and his crime is not small. But Lan Lingxi also had something unspeakable, and the great eunuch Liu Jing had threatened him to suppress the matter as much as possible. Otherwise, don't blame Dongchang for being ruthless. Liu Jing can say and do, are there still fewer courtiers who died in his hands.

Lan Lingxi knelt down with weak legs and said, "The minister knows but fails to report to the emperor in time, and he deserves death." ”

Zhu Di said gently: "Aiqing is not guilty, someone wants to hide this, he can really do it." Huai'an Patrol Salt Imperial Shi Liang Jinzin, Sailor General Chen Zhanwei, and Deputy Commander of the East Factory Liu Yunqin all fell into the hands of thieves, is there such a thing?"

Lan Lingxi nodded and replied: "Yes, the water bandit is the 'River Turning Dragon' water village of Chen Yan, the disciple of the thief leader Chen Zuyi, who was executed by the emperor in a failed naval battle. ”

"The problem is that they succeeded, and all the 80,000 Shiguan salt grains were given to the water bandits, which is really generous. As a result, Sichuan is short of salt, and it is bitter. The secret music of Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, is still on my bookcase. Besides, the official salt allocated by the imperial court is 50,000 stones, how can we explain the extra 30,000 stones?"

The cold sweat on Lan Lingxi's forehead came down, and the emperor knew everything, and pretended not to know anything. It is no wonder that some people describe him as a soldier who is as resourceful as a god, and has a strong strategy, which is the same as Gaozu. Liu Jing thinks he is smart, but he is smart and mistaken by smart. Since the emperor knows everything but doesn't deal with it for a long time, Lan Lingxi understands that he doesn't want to do anything to the great eunuch Liu Jing now, so what does the emperor want to do when he comes to him?

The emperor wants to protect Liu Jing, but also doesn't want him to be unscrupulous, the investigation behind it must be done, then only Jinyiwei can complete this task, he is the commander of Jinyiwei, Zhu Di came to him at this time, Lan Lingxi did not have the slightest excitement, but was uneasy. He wants to dance between the two threads, trying his best to balance their relationship, if the "Spear God" Yan Yuze is here, he Lan Lingxi doesn't need to worry about it at all. Now that Yan Yuze is dead, he has to go up. The problem is that Lan Lingxi's heart is as straight as the arrow in his hand, and he can't turn around, and he can't fight Liu Jing.

Zhu Di saw through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "I will give you a secret decree to secretly investigate the whole story of the Minjiang incident." Report directly to me, and I will also send you a person, who is the Ouchi secret agent Bin Jian, and obey your command. Lingxi, you remember, those who do great things must be open-minded and strategic, I know your loyalty, but I still lack experience. Do you understand?"

Hearing the name of Da Nei's secret agent Bin Jian, Lan Lingxi was taken aback at first, "ghost sees sorrow" Bin Jian is the most trusted courtier of the former emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and none of the cases investigated have been miscalculated. The "blue case" that occurred in the eighteenth year of Hongwu and the "blue case" of the twenty-second year of Hongwu was investigated by Bin Jian, and the evidence was conclusive, and neither of them could deny it. And Zhu Di's words later made Lan Lingxi mixed with joy, happy that the emperor could still attach so much importance to himself, and he didn't do it in vain. The worry is that the task given to him by Zhu Di is full of thorns and traps, and there are many difficulties, and he really has no bottom in his heart whether he can complete it. But with the "ghost sees sorrow" Bin key, listen to his opinions more and learn something, which will be good for your future.

"Ghost Sorrow" Bin Jian Lan Lingxi has never seen it, he is also Zhu Di's most trusted person, often when the emperor admires the beautiful dance of the concubine, he walks on the mountain and river road, he likes to act alone, without a person by his side. His martial arts are excellent, his swordsmanship is superb, and his opponents are always split in half by him at the moment of his shot, and there is no suspense. He is elusive, elusive, and yet everywhere. Every time he came back, it would set off a bloody storm in the imperial court, and his head would fall to the ground. This time he obeyed the emperor's dispatch for the first time, left the capital with Lan Lingxi, patrolled all the way along the banks of the Yangtze River, and met the "narcissus" Xue Nanyan in Jiayu County.

Jiayu county has a population of only tens of thousands, the Yangtze River flows through its feet, sailboats and boats are parked in the fishing port, the Yangtze River has a fishing news, and the imperial court wants to collect the Yangtze River crucian carp and become a delicacy on the court table. The county commander personally supervised and guarded the soldiers along the river to prevent illegal businessmen from profiting from it.

Xue Nanyan stayed in a place called "Julong Inn" along the river, which is the best inn in Jiayu County, living on the second floor, looking out of the window to see the Yangtze River scenery at a glance. There are a lot of people in the inn, three religions and nine streams, and the fish and eyes are mixed. Careful inspection did not find Chen Yangshi's figure, but he saw Lan Lingxi walking in in casual clothes, and the people who followed him were also in civilian clothes, not tall, walking with a slight bow, looking like he had no quarrel with the world. Xue Nanyan felt the strange aura on this person's body, which made her shudder.

"Arrow God" Lan Lingxi, what is he doing here, he is here to pick up Chen Yangshi, if this is the case, it will be very bad. But it's not right when you think about it, it's not so fast, and Chen Yangshi doesn't have the ability to contact Jinyiwei, it's purely a coincidence. No matter what he came to do, since he ran into it, he couldn't hide, and he had to face it, Xue Nanyan turned around and went downstairs to face with Lan Lingxi, who went upstairs.

Lan Lingxi was stunned.

Xue Nanyan was wearing an ordinary dress, his long hair was tied in a bundle on his head, and he was carrying a sword on his back, and he passed by without even looking at him. Lan Lingxi's heart beat faster, the familiar smell overwhelmed him, although he hadn't seen it for a long time, his beautiful face still came into his eyes very clearly, the long-hidden emotions suddenly erupted, Lan Lingxi made a move that he didn't expect, went up and grabbed Xue Nanyan's hand and said: "Nanyan, Nanyan, why are you so ruthless, don't you even want to say a word?"

Xue Nanyan looked at him calmly and replied, "You and I have already broken off our relationship, what else should I say?" (To be continued......)
