"Since Uncle Qin agreed, I have a plan. Why don't you refer to it? If you have anything to add, please ask Uncle Qin to enlighten me." Qin Tong trusted Lin Shuying, but he didn't like this poisonous scholar himself. Some people don't like it, good scholars don't read and write hard, what to do with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but for a while I can't think of anything good
The way to save Xiao Jing'er, after hesitating for a while, he could only agree to He Jia'an's request.The waiting time for Jin Yiwei was much longer than Lin Man imagined. It was not until the night of the eighth day that Jin Yiwei rushed from the capital to Yueyang Mansion. Looking at these tired-looking Jin Yiwei, Lin Man also knew that I can't offend him
They put on a look of concern, and asked in front of Qian Ning, "Master Qian is very tired after traveling all the way. You should take a good rest tonight." "Hey!" Qian Ning, who was sitting on the chair, slowly Standing up slowly, he said with a wry smile: "Master Lin doesn't know, don't look at our Jin Yiwei looking at the scenery, but in fact it's a hard life, how can I have time to rest, Xiao Jing'er is still in trouble today
Master Lin, be careful. We will leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning. When we arrive in the capital, Qian will definitely treat Master Lin well. "As Qian Ning, who has been immersed in the officialdom for so many years, he still can't see that Lin Man is still thousands of miles away from his official position, but as long as Wusheng's mother is safely sent to the capital this time, Lin Man It's hard not to get promoted if you want to, but you don't
If you say a few more good words as soon as possible, then you will be considered a lot of help in the officialdom.Guarding Xiao Jing'er is not very difficult. The White Lotus Society's offensive has already ended in the past few days, and there is no information about any large-scale gathering of anyone recently. Presumably it is because most of the White Lotus Society has been wiped out. So Lin Man
The burden on my shoulders has been much lighter recently.
It's just that he was a little curious. Qian Ning came to Yueyang from such a long distance. He seemed to be going out before he sat still. He couldn't help asking: "Master Qian, where are you going?"
After asking, he suddenly came to his senses, and quickly laughed and said, "Look at my mouth, how can I ask such a stupid question."
Qian Ning smiled disapprovingly, patted Lin Man on the shoulder and said, "Actually, it's okay to tell Mr. Lin, Qian has another important business to do this time, and that is to capture Ouyang Yunshu, the prefect of Yueyang. "Unexpectedly, it was really said by Lin Man. In the middle of the night, Ouyang Yunshu, the magistrate of Yueyang, was dragged out of the bed by these wolf-like Jin Yiwei. The charges of hiding thieves and capital thieves, and then
Then they arrested Ouyang Yunshu and the eighteen members of his family, and planned to send them to the boat and escort them back to Beijing the next day.
Jin Yiwei is indeed Jin Yiwei, if he doesn't move, he's amazing. Lin Man, who saw all of this, couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. It seems that he must be more careful in the future, and he must not let these Jin Yiwei get caught. is.On the second day, five identical large ships had already parked at the pier. At this time, the pier was also heavily guarded, and no civilians were allowed to approach here. In the distance, there was a group of idlers gathered together, looking at the wharf. eyes, divided
Ming just wanted to see the excitement.
Finally, a prison cart came slowly. The prison cart made of rough wood was relatively strong. A human head appeared in the middle of the prison cart.After Xiao Jinger's prison car passed by, it was Ouyang Yunshu's family, the magistrate of Yueyang. When Yun Shu was the magistrate
When such a thing happened, Ouyang Yunshu couldn't argue with it. The facts were right in front of his eyes, and he couldn't allow himself to deny it. He could only hope that after arriving in the capital, the emperor would be merciful and let his family members go.After a group of people checked their identity on the pier, Xiao Jinger was finally released from the prison car. It wasn't until here that everyone noticed that Xiao Jinger's whole body in the prison car was bound by iron chains. difficult things,
It could only be staggering and moved forward step by step to the boat.
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly wanted to rush out. Fortunately, the people around her hugged her as soon as they were prepared, and whispered in her ear: "Don't go, you will not save anyone if you go now It hurt her." Lin Shuying, who was hiding in the crowd, suddenly burst into tears. Although her mother had misunderstood her, after all, she had raised her for more than ten years, how could she bear to see her like this now? The tragedy, but what He Jiaan said was not wrong,
Under such a heavy siege, there is no way to rescue the old mother with his own strength.Lin Shuying finally calmed down until the figure of Wusheng's old mother disappeared into the cabin. Instead of rejecting He Jiaan's embrace, she hugged He Jiaan with her backhand and buried her face in his chest, suppressing her voice, feeling the pain
began to cry.He clearly held an extremely seductive body in his arms, but He Jiaan didn't have any charming emotions in his heart. He looked through the crowd and saw that Ouyang Yunshu and his party were also escorted onto the boat, and he was still a little puzzled. who?Could it be
Is it also the Bailian Society?After everyone boarded the boat, the big ship finally left the pier slowly and drove forward slowly. The pier returned to the hustle and bustle of the past. Disperse, to He's house
The postures of An and Lin Shuying at this time seemed a little ambiguous. The key point was that Lin Shuying was wearing a man's attire at this time. The two gentlemen were hugging each other in front of the public. Such a posture could not attract attention.
"Miss Lin, get up, everyone is looking at us." He Jia'an couldn't stand such weird eyes, lightly patted Lin Shuying's back, and whispered in her ear. "Ah?" Lin Shuying raised her head suddenly, only then did she notice that the crowd around her had dispersed at some point, and some left were looking at herself and He Jiaan with ambiguous eyes, her face couldn't help but One red, but smashed with his fist
Touching He Jiaan's chest, he said coquettishly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, it made him feel ashamed."
Didn't I tell you earlier?He Jia'an knows one thing very well, to reason with anyone, don't reason with women, especially if you are a woman who regards you as a dependent, let alone reason.
I hurriedly grabbed Lin Shuying, changed the subject, and said, "My mother is locked in the middle boat, we have to set off immediately." As soon as Wusheng's mother was mentioned, the rosiness on Lin Shuying's face immediately disappeared. Without a trace, I immediately left the pier with He Jiaan. After walking for a distance, I saw a man sitting on the ground with three horses sitting bored on the ground. When I saw He Jiaan and Lin Shuying walking over, I Teng stood up immediately, led the horse to meet him, and when he saw this person's face clearly, it was Feng Ling or who else.
Chapter 519
The fleet went down the river, and for the sake of safety, they kept a certain distance from each other. Lin Man was not sitting on the big boat in the middle. In his opinion, he didn't need to do too much on the Yangtze River. Take precautions, even if those White Lotus followers have
I'm afraid I can't do the kind of thing that is like a car with the arms of a mantis.
But if there is a boat rushing to block the river, I don't mind running over it directly.What Lin Man is worried about now is the journey after disembarking from Wuchang Mansion. The speed of the prison car is too slow. I am afraid it will take more than a month to escort Wusheng's old mother to the capital. There will be danger at any time on such a long journey, and Bai Lian will count [-] followers
The number is not something I said at will, it is a number secretly calculated by the government.
With so many people, such ambitious people are naturally indispensable. It seems that I must tighten my nerves along the way.The day passed quickly, and towards the evening, the fleet finally stopped at the pier in Honghu County. After the fleet stopped, only a few handymen came down, and after replenishing some food and fresh water, they returned to the ship. This is also Lin Man
According to the established rules, no matter where the fleet goes, everyone is not allowed to disembark, and the position of the fleet changes from time to time, making it difficult for people to figure out which ship Wusheng Old Mother is on.The night has come to this world. Except for the red lantern on the bow to mark the position on the pier in Hongdong County, the rest of the place has already been shrouded in darkness. At this moment, suddenly a corner of the pier suddenly flash one
There was a bright light, and then there was a huge explosion in the air, which was deafening.Lin Man, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound immediately. The first thing that came to his mind was that the people from the White Lotus Society planned to rob the ship at night, but he had already prepared for it. No matter how many people came, he would let them die. how many people are here
, Picking up his cooked copper stick, Lin Man immediately rushed out of the cabin. At this time, the corridor was already full of officers and soldiers, and when he saw Lin Man, he immediately became much quieter.
Seeing that he could make these people feel his majesty and arrogance just by standing here, Lin Man felt extremely proud, and with a serious expression on his face, he said sharply, "Who knows what happened?" ?”
The soldiers who were observing outside the cabin immediately ran to Lin Man and said in a low voice, "Master Lin, the sound just now came from the pier, it seems to be the sound of gunpowder explosion."
"Gunpowder?" Lin Man was taken aback for a moment, what is going on?Is it something made by the people of the White Lotus Society, or is it just a coincidence?
But no matter what it is, you should check it yourself to feel at ease.After making up his mind, Lin Man asked most of the officers and soldiers to stay on board, while he disembarked with a dozen of his own soldiers. First, he went to the location where the explosion had just happened to check. Sure enough, there was a thick gunpowder in the air. smell, a part of the pier
A hole was blown out, and after a short time, people from the pier rushed over. After cursing twice, they put out the fire first, and then went back to rest. As for the big hole, we will naturally save it for tomorrow.It seemed like a coincidence, but Lin Man still felt that he was a little confused. After thinking about it, he boarded the boat where Wusheng's old mother was imprisoned. As soon as he got on the boat, Qian Ning walked over to him, frowning. Mei asked: "Master Lin, what happened?
What's the matter? "Lin Man was a little dissatisfied with Qian Ning's reclusive and condescending tone, but he also knew that there was still a long distance between him and Qian Ning. He was the emperor's pro-army, and he was just a subordinate of King Ning. a little of
He quickly clasped his fists and replied, "Master Huiqian, there were traces of gunpowder explosion on the pier just now. I don't know whether it was an accident or someone set the fire on purpose." "Oh?" On the other hand, if others dared to talk to him like this, maybe Qian Ning would have slapped him across the face long ago, but it was Lin Man standing in front of him. If this trip was safe and sound, maybe his Qianhu
You can change to the title of general, and you don't need to offend him because of such a trivial matter.
Thinking of this, Qian Ning nodded, and said cautiously: "Master Lin, you should be more careful. These rebels from the White Lotus Society have always been cunning, so be careful."
Lin Man replied: "Lord Qian is right, the last general is going to check inside the cabin, and he must see that the old hag is still there before he can rest assured."
"Master Lin is right, why don't we go check it out together." Lin Man naturally agreed, and the two of them walked into the cabin one after the other, until they entered the innermost part of the cabin, and finally came to the prison where Wusheng's old mother was imprisoned. Looking at the lifeless old mother in the cabin tied up in large characters by iron chains, Chan Ning's eyes
A trace of obscenity suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said in a low voice: "I didn't expect this old hag to be quite attractive. Anyway, she is idle anyway. Would you like to go in and have fun, Master Lin?" He is not a kind person, but he still can't do such a nasty thing as bullying a weak woman. He shook his head and said softly: "Master Qian should not mess with this old witch. We just need to get rid of her."
After being safely escorted to the capital and taking the reward, do you want any women?Let's talk about these dozens of years old, you are not afraid of losing your appetite. "Hearing Lin Man's words, Qian Ning's thoughts just disappeared immediately. He nodded and patted Lin Man's shoulder and said, "Master Lin is right. If this is the case, after arriving in the capital, I will be the host. Lord Lin must give me this
Just save face. "
"Master Qian, don't worry, Mr. Lin will definitely be there on time." After the two chatted for a while, Lin Man finally retreated from the cabin. After returning to his own boat, he couldn't help feeling a little worried. Weak, but there is still such a long way to go, in case one day he endures
What should I do if I can't help but really violated my inanimate mother?If she could not bear the humiliation and died like this, wouldn't her own future be shattered along with it?No, I can no longer let Qian Ning follow that boat, and tomorrow I will find an excuse to send my lifeless mother to my boat
.After a lot of tossing around, Lin Man was really tired. He lay on the bed and fell asleep. Suddenly, there was another explosion outside the window. The sound was louder than before. To be clearer, as in
It was as if someone yelled loudly in his ear.Lin Manteng jumped up from the bed at once, blinked his eyes to wake up, and immediately rushed out of the cabin. After arriving on the deck, he saw another fire on the pier, and the fire had begun to spread gradually. , becomes
The more ferocious. "Come on, call everyone up, and hurry up to put out the fire." The wrinkles on Lin Man's face deepened. If the explosion just now was accidental, then someone must have done it deliberately this time. But why is he so far away from the ship?
Where to put gunpowder?What on earth is he doing this for?With little effort, the fire on the pier was extinguished by the officers and soldiers. This time Lin Man did not dare to relax so much, he hesitated and ordered: "Half of the people go back to the boat to rest first, and the rest People are guarding the pier, and as soon as they see people, they will be arrested immediately."
Chapter 520 The Battle of the Waters
After tossing and tossing for a whole night, the officers and soldiers on board did not get a good rest. They were so sleepy that they could hardly lift their heads. Finally, it was dawn, but at this time the fleet was about to set sail again.Other officers and soldiers can rest for a while, but as one of the leaders of the fleet, Lin Man didn't close his eyes all night, sitting alone in a corner of the deck, looking at the night sky with deep eyes. , but I can't help it in my mind
I thought of a figure... He Jia'an.
Although I never saw He Jiaan and that witch from the White Lotus Society after the last time I left Lanxi Town, I always had this feeling in my heart that He Jiaan didn't seem to have left my side.I heard from Yinghe that Lin Shuying had appeared in Junshan before, but she was imprisoned in the water prison by Wusheng's old mother. Later, Qiqiao was also imprisoned in the water prison, but she was imprisoned in the water prison for the second time. Suddenly, the two disappeared
, this must be someone who helped them escape from the water prison, and this person is most likely He Jiaan.I just can't figure it out, Mr. He usually seems to be a very smart person, but why he became confused about this kind of big thing, if the fact that he helped the witch escape is leaked out, I'm afraid even his family will be implicated go in
, the result at that time, Lin Man could hardly imagine.
As for the two explosions yesterday, such tactics seemed familiar to him. If only He Jiaan could come up with such a trick, what the hell was he planning?For the sake of safety, as soon as the sky brightened, Lin Man, whose eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, ordered the fleet to set sail immediately and go northward at the fastest speed, trying to reach Wuchang Mansion tonight. With the support of officers and soldiers from Wuchang Mansion, Own
