On the wharf outside Yanguan Town, the boats that went out to sea to fish returned one after another, and the officials of the Inspection Department inspected each boat, and copied a fat fish that looked pleasing to the eye and went back to drink, which was also a common thing.
Inspector Gan Qingyang Gan sat at a table, with a knife across his waist on the table, smacking the tea that had been drunk without taste, and was about to get up to make it easier, when he suddenly saw a two-masted ship coming from afar, and stopped when he boarded.
Since Cao Guogong Li Jinglong made a tacit compromise with the local officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the local officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang fully cooperated with him to exterminate the pirates who really had great public anger, and he relaxed the restrictions on coastal residents, the brigs were able to go to sea again.
Lord Gan's interest came up, and he wanted to check the boat himself and get a few seafood that is rarely tasted.
The boat got closer and closer, and when it came to the dock and stopped, he saw that the boat was empty, and it was not a fishing boat at all He excitedly wanted to board the ship to check, the gangplank on the boat was set, but a person walked down Shi Shiran, who was dressed, no matter how he looked like a pirate who had been at sea for many years, Gan Qingyang immediately grabbed his waist knife and shouted: "What kind of person" The man carried a burden on his shoulders, leaned into his arms, and felt something and raised it to him, Gan Qingyang only saw that it was a waist card, and before he could see it clearly, the man put it away, looked at the situation on the dock, and asked calmly: "Is the inventory still so tight now, Cao Guogong has not come back yet?"
Gan Qingyang couldn't figure out where he came from, and replied cautiously: "Cao Guogong led the sailors to chase and kill the South China Sea thief Chen Zuyi, all the way to Fujian, and he has been walking for more than ten days. ” Xia Xun took out the waist card again and threw it into his hand, Gan Qingyang saw clearly that it was the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei, and he was even more surprised in his heart, and hurriedly returned the waist card with both hands, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the general flag lord, I don't know what the adult called, where did this come from" Xia Xun glared at him and said, "Just know my identity, there are some things you can inquire about."
He turned back to the sailor on the ship and bowed his hand, and said, "There are a few people who will send you all the way, so please go back." ” Xia Xun stood on the shore, watching the ship drift away, until a stone's throw away, then sighed softly, walked away from the dock, treated the inspection department and the group as air, and ignored them at all.
As soon as he was far away, Master Gan snorted and scolded to find a thatched house.
Xia Xun knew that Li Jinglong hadn't come back yet, so he wasn't in a hurry.
He didn't rush to Hangzhou like he did last time, first found a tavern on the shore and ordered some food to eat.
The shopkeeper is very strange, to the beach, few people do not taste seafood, people who are used to life at sea, but not fish and crabs are not happy, but this guest officer is a little strange, guarding the sea, picking things that climb on land to eat, what chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, pigs, cattle and mutton, not at all fishy.
Seeing that this man was born strong, this meal was also large, a large table of dishes, like a wind and clouds, was eaten by him, and then Shi Shiran left.
Xia Xun walked out of the restaurant, walked not far, just saw Li Tang's lacquerware shop, remembered that the last time his identity was revealed on the island, there was a good news that Li Tang and the Shuangyu Gang had an affair, so he walked into the store.
When he arrived at the store and asked, Li Tang was not there, and Xia Xunyuan had no intention of looking for him, and was about to turn around and leave, but saw him coming back from outside.
As soon as he saw Xia Xun, Li Tangdeng's face changed greatly, and Xia Xun smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li, don't come unharmed." ” Li Tang's knees weakened, he almost knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, it's not about the grass people." ” Xia Xun smiled: "Oh, it really has nothing to do with you" Li Tang hurriedly swore and said, "It's irrelevant, it's absolutely irrelevant."
My lord, I didn't know your identity, and I was still in front of Leader Jia to guarantee you, did you forget to say that your thing was in the inn, how could the grass people have the ability to get it It was the third day you were taken away, people came to the island, and the innkeeper was also familiar with them, so they took the adult's package and left.
Later, they came to the door again and accused me of covering up, and I found out the identity of the adults, and if it weren't for the fact that I had known them for a long time, they would almost suspect that I had colluded with the adults to deceive them. ” Li Tang was scared and panicked, tears were about to fall, Xia Xun saw this, but comforted: "Okay, okay, this official has been fine for a long time, you don't have to tell others about this matter, this official will not hold you responsible."
Where did you come from?"
Li Tang was overjoyed, choked up, and said, "Thank you, Lord for your kindness."
These days, the court is arresting pirates, the business is much lighter, the grass people have nothing to do, so they went to Hangzhou with their aunt and cousin, his grandson has a full moon, and the grass people have just returned. ” "Brother Yu has already given birth to a boy and a girl" Xia Xun remembered the pregnant woman she saved in the riverside hotel, it was so fast to be at the beach for a few months, she was still pot-bellied at that time, and she couldn't imagine that the child was over the full moon now, Li Tang said: "Boy."
The grass people and their cousin's family have all said about the adult's business, because it is not the grass people who have spoiled the adult's business, and their family does not blame me, but they are very worried about the safety of the adult, and the adult is the great benefactor of their family.
Their husband and wife are middle-aged and have children, it is not easy to seek medical advice, if it is not for the adults to rescue, the child is afraid that it will not be saved, I went this time, their family is reading the adult, and the grass people will tell them the news of the adult's survival, they will be very happy. ” Xia Xun said in his heart: "If it weren't for the help of the Yu family's son-in-law, I wouldn't have been able to contact the Shuangyu Gang smoothly and solve this matter satisfactorily, but they are so concerned."
Then he smiled and said: "Hehe, I'm about to go back to Hangzhou, I still remember where Brother Yu's house is, I'll go see them." ” All the way to Hangzhou, Xia Xun collected news all the way, Li Jinglong every time he made a gain, no matter whether he won a big victory or a small victory, he had to be reported by the military post messenger with great fanfare along the way, so a lot of news Xia Xun could know, Li Jinglong chased Chen Zuyi closely, all the way to Nanyang to chase down, Chen Zuyi now has food and water, not panicked, but if you talk about troops, it is far less than Li Jinglong, his destination is in Mangara, the goal is set, and there are only a few feasible routes left, unlike fighting with officers and soldiers in a small area, you can always avoid its edge, So the big battles have really been fought a few times.
Li Jinglong chased all the way behind, and there were sailors from all over Zhangquan in front of him who went to sea to intercept them, Chen Zuyi's way back to the south was really hard, Li Jinglong sank a pirate ship, and captured more than 200 pirates alive, Chen Zuyi went all the way south, and under the interception of the sailors along the way, he lost two more ships, one was burned, and one was captured by officers and soldiers, in the latest news, Chen Zuyi has passed through the blockade line of the Penghu Islands, Xia Xun estimated that Li Jinglong would not chase down again, and he should be able to return within a few days.
Xia Xun knew that Li Jinglong had ill intentions towards him, and he had been looking for an opportunity to find his own fault, but fortunately, he let himself do his old job: detective and spy, although it was dangerous, but he didn't have to stay by his side all the time, waiting for him to find his own fault, now that the matter of the East China Sea has been successfully resolved, the battle to suppress the sea will end soon, as long as he waits for him to return triumphantly, he will not be able to find his own fault.
In view of this, Xia Xun decided to stay in Hangzhou and wait for Li Jinglong to return.
He had a wound on his shoulder, and he hadn't made up a good idea, which was a powerful excuse, because the wound had been stripped away, and he couldn't see how he was injured, so he could make up an excuse to explain the reason for his injury and the reason for his disappearance.
Xia Xun arrived in Hangzhou and went to Yuren's Mansion first.
Yu Ren's ancestors have been officials for several generations, and Yu Ren's generation is also a famous gentry in Hangzhou, with a solid family background and a quiet and elegant mansion, which is not luxurious or elegant.
When he arrived at the mansion to report his identity, after a while, Yu Ren greeted him excitedly, and when he saw Xia Xun, he was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Xia, it's Lord Yang, you are safe and sound."
Xia Xun carried two boxes of happy cakes in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, it's been a long time."
The brother is on a mission with the court, and he concealed his identity and surname from his brother before, so please don't blame him. ” Yu Ren smiled: "No blame, no blame, the benefactor returned safely, this is really a blessing to invite heaven, come on, come in." ” Yu Ren grabbed Xia Xun's arm and walked to the house, walking all the way: "Today, the house is holding a family banquet, Lord Yang."
Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, you and my brother have a relationship, and don't say anything about adults, just call me brother." ” Yu Ren is an honest gentleman, and he didn't care about his official status, so he smiled and changed his words: "Okay, good, it's rare for my brother to come to the door, let's eat and drink together."
As he spoke, he said to a little boy who greeted him: "Go and ask Mrs. to take the young master out, my son's life-saving benefactor is here." ” Xia Xun thanked him again and again, and after a while, Mrs.
Yu Ren came out with the child, and when she saw Xia Xun thanked her again and again, the husband and wife invited him to sit down in the small living room to eat tea, and asked about the situation after being taken to the island.
Xia Xun begged the infant child from Mrs.
Yu's hands again, and saw that the little guy was born full of heaven, with beautiful eyebrows, and he didn't cry or make trouble when he arrived in his arms, only opened a pair of big black eyes like paint, and looked at himself fixedly, the pink and tender ones were cute, and he liked them very much in his heart.
He stretched out a finger, let the little guy grab it, teased him, and smiled casually: "Ling Gongzi is so cute, I don't know if I can choose a name."
Talking about his son, Yu Ren also smiled from ear to ear, he is thirty-one years old, this is the only time to have a child, in this era, it is close to the category of old age children, Ping said that the two of them seek medical advice in order to have a child, and the temple and Taoist temple are not less, how can you not cherish it.
Yu Ren smiled and said: "Brother Wei has already chosen a name for him, and his single name is a humble character."
A humble gentleman, humble and self-shepherding, as a brother, he does not expect him to come to be noble and well-known, but only hopes that he can be self-conscious and be a frank gentleman, which is enough. ” "Humility, humility, humility" Xia Xun thought a few words, his body suddenly shook, and he almost threw the child to the ground: "God, this little guy in my arms, can't it be Yu Shaobao?"
