Chapter 81 Escort to Zhongnan Boat to Jiaxing
Yin Zhiping never thought that he had to kill Zhao Zhijing, but if Zhao Zhijing unfortunately died in the hands of others, he would not feel more sorry for Zhao Zhijing, at most he could sigh.
Based on this kind of heart of not caring about Zhao Zhijing's life or death, he didn't think about healing Zhao Zhijing after he caught Zhao Zhijing and came back, except for sending people to deliver two meals a day, and let Zhao Zhijing fend for himself there. Life and death depend on fate, whether Zhao Zhijing can survive depends on his own creation.
However, there is a saying that "good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years", and bad people are usually small and strong, and their lives are very hard. Zhao Zhijing also let him survive this time, and after more than ten days, the injury gradually improved, and there was no major physical problem. However, the internal force has not yet been fully adjusted, and it will take a long time to recover as before.
But Yin Zhiping didn't give him this time again, and after learning that he was in good health and that his daily actions would not have any impact, he sent someone to escort Zhao Zhijing on the way back to Zhongnan. It is just right that Zhao Zhijing's strength has not recovered completely, so that the detention on the road can also save some effort. If Zhao Zhijing is still at his peak, the difficulty of escorting will also increase correspondingly.
Zhao Zhijing, as the imperial envoy of the Imperial City Division, is really not low in the palace, and he is also a character who often shows his face in front of the emperor. These great eunuchs suddenly disappeared for no reason, and they disappeared if they couldn't see them, which naturally caused a shock in the palace, and Li Zong was furious, and ordered the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Lin'an Mansion to thoroughly investigate the matter. But after all, there was no result, and there were not even many clues. In addition to repeatedly ordering a thorough investigation, and thus dismissing many officials from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and other officials, there is no good way. After all, it can only be stopped. It was treated as a headless case.
For more than ten days, Lin'an City has not completely relaxed. But there was no result for more than ten days. However, the officials of various ministries and military service who handled the investigation of the case could not help but relax their efforts. In addition, Yin Zhiping is now a national teacher of the dynasty, and he really has a lot of privileges. So the day when Zhao Zhijing was escorted back to Zhongnan. Yin Zhiping personally sent them out of the city. Blocked by his identity as a national teacher, the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not dare to check his frame, and politely sent them out of the city.
And Zhao Zhijing was hit in the car with several big points such as dumb holes, not only could not move at all, but also couldn't make any sound. After hiding, as long as no one came to search, it would not reveal any horses' feet, and it was easy to pass the city gate.
After leaving the city, the four Quanzhen disciples who escorted Zhao Zhijing and a carriage set off for Zhongnan. Yin Zhiping set up a carriage to wander around the city, and went to the West Lake to enjoy the scenery, and then returned to the city.
After sending Zhao Zhijing away, Yin Zhiping's life was calm again. The missionary work was already on the right track, and with Li Zhichang and others on his side, many things did not need him to be busy himself.
Moreover, after he was appointed as a national teacher and had the title of authority to control Taoism in the world, he was also more helpful in the matter of missionary construction. After this news spread, there were many Taoist temples that did not need him to send people to ask. He asked to be merged into the Quanzhen Sect and became a branch of the Taoist Academy. So the missionary aspect is more relaxed.
After he was awarded the title of national teacher, it was only a month later. The results of the two aspects of doctrinal dissemination and the expansion of the division are comparable to the efforts he has made in the past six months since he arrived in Lin'an last year.
Moreover, in this short period of more than a month, the development and expansion of Fenguan has rushed out of Zhejiang. It has spread to Jiangsu. The speed of such development also surprised Yin Zhiping. The identity and title of the secret national teacher are really useful. Of course, it's not just about fame. is also because he holds the real power in charge of Taoism in the world. If you don't have this real power, and you have the false name of a national teacher, I'm afraid that the current effect will be greatly reduced.
In addition, Zhejiang and Jiangsu are adjacent to each other, and they are not far apart. And Lin'an is also very close to the border between the two places. From Lin'an to Suzhou by water, it takes less than two hours, and you can walk several times a day.
On this day, Yin Zhiping got the news that he had developed a branch in Suzhou. When he heard the news, after thinking about it for a while, he thought about it quietly, and wanted to go to Suzhou to inspect it, and also traveled by the way to visit the beautiful scenery of Suzhou. People often say that "there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below", he has been in Hangzhou for many days now, but he has never been to this ancient Suzhou.
After making the decision to go to Suzhou, he should go down even if he was instructed, and he made his own arrangements to prepare. He took advantage of the fact that it was not too late to enter the palace and ask Emperor Lizong for a leave, and Lizong did not allow it. And Suzhou is very close to Lin'an, you can walk a few times a day. If there is anything, he can also summon Yin Zhiping back quickly.
At the third watch that night, Yin Zhiping went to meet Li Mochou again. When I went to Suzhou, I naturally had to inform Li Mochou about it. Otherwise, he left quietly, Li Mochou knew that after he said, he couldn't help but get angry again.
When they arrived at Li Mochou's place, after some joy, the two hugged each other and chatted, Yin Zhiping told Li Mochou about his trip to Suzhou tomorrow.
After Li Mochou heard this, he said a little coquettishly: "I also want to go to Suzhou with you." ”
Yin Zhiping said: "I went to inspect the first division that has developed into Suzhou, and they are all people in the sect, so how can I take you with me?"
Li Mochou said: "You go yours, I'll go mine, let's meet secretly when we arrive." ”
Yin Zhiping said: "I won't be there for long, and I'll be back in three or four days at most." Just wait for me at home. ”
Li Mochou said: "No, I just want to go with you." ”
Yin Zhiping took a few more words, but he couldn't convince Li Mochou in the end, and finally had to reluctantly agree, and told Li Mochou to be careful on the road.
When the fifth watch was knocked on the street, Yin Zhiping said goodbye to Li Mochou and sneaked back to Wanshouguan.
The next morning, after breakfast, he took the two Quanzhen disciples who accompanied him to the dock. He decided to go to Suzhou yesterday, so a disciple of Guanzhong went to the dock and rented a boat in advance. When he arrived at the dock with his two accompanying disciples, and the Guanzhong disciples who were waiting for them at the dock had already welcomed them all the way to the boat, he said goodbye.
From Lin'an to Hangzhou, the waterway is the Jiangnan Canal, which connects the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River. When he came to Lin'an early last year and came from Xiangyang with Lu Wende, he arrived in Lin'an from the artificially dug canal that was transferred from the Yangtze River.
There are important towns such as Jiangyin, Wuxi, Suzhou, Wujiang and Jiaxing along the canal, which is a very important waterway connecting Zhejiang and Jiangsu. Therefore, this waterway is also very busy, and you can see boats racing everywhere, and sails and masts are like forests.
It's just that the waterway is busy, but it can't help but slow down the trip. It doesn't take two hours to get to Suzhou, and that's when the waterway is good, like now, it will inevitably take some time. After leaving Lin'an, I went straight for more than an hour before I arrived in Jiaxing.
The boat traveled to Jiaxing, Yin Zhiping remembered that the story of the beginning of the Condor was from Jiaxing, and many of the storylines in the Condor also happened in Jiaxing, such as Guo Jing and Yang Kang's Jiaxing Drunken Immortal Building Competition, which was later changed to Jiaxing Yanyu Building, as well as the duel between the Seven Sons of Quanzhen and Huang Laoxi. Even Guo Jing's master, the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, are all from Jiaxing.
Thinking of all this, Yin Zhiping couldn't help but want to visit Jiaxing again. After thinking about it, he ordered to stop in Jiaxing, stay for half a day and let him visit, and he could have lunch in Jiaxing, and he could rush to Suzhou before dark. At this point in time, it won't be long before it's lunch time.
The Quanzhen disciple who chartered the boat yesterday gave the boat boss enough silver taels, and the boat boss was still a believer who had developed a mission in Lin'an, and he was very obedient to Yin Zhiping's orders. Immediately docked at the Jiaxing wharf, the boat boss stayed on the boat to guard, and Yin Zhiping took the two accompanying Quanzhen disciples off the boat and headed for the city.
Jiaxing is also an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, although it is not as good as the scene of Lin'an, but it is also prosperous. Moreover, since ancient times, it has the reputation of "the land of fish and rice" and "the house of silk". The beauty of the scenery of Jiaxing South Lake, compared with Hangzhou West Lake, is not much better, but it is slightly inferior in name, not as famous as West Lake. (To be continued......)
