Not long after the servant left after receiving the order, he saw a burst of exclamation suddenly coming from the distant sound of oars and the shadow of lights.
Shen Xuan winked at Xu He and motioned for him to look towards the river.
When Xu He looked towards the source of the sound, he was suddenly startled. He saw a three-story ship crowded in the Qinhuai River, forcing the surrounding boats to avoid it.
After the big ship approached, Xu He finally saw that the three-story ship had carved railings and painted buildings, and a big red lantern hung on each raised eaves corner, with the four characters "Shanyang Marquis Mansion" written on it.
Seeing this, he finally understood why Shen Xuan kept silent. Damn it, he was too wealthy and too popular.
In the entire Wei Dynasty, apart from the emperor's clan members, this group of nobles who had deep entanglements with the royal family were the only ones who dared to be so awesome.
When the big ship approached the dock, Xue Yongzhi said: "Let's go, Zongqi and Brother Xu, let's go and see what kind of ghosts and snakes dare to stop me from driving."
After everyone got on the boat, when Xue Yongzhi took the lead to go to the cabin, Shen Xuan deliberately pulled behind, pulling Xu He and saying: "The Deqing Marquis Mansion and the Xu family have never dealt with each other. Let's stop talking about their nobles." !”
Xu He nodded.
Shen Xuan seemed to know what Xu He wanted to ask, and whispered: "The Xue family was originally granted the title of King of Wu because the first generation of Marquis Deqing exposed the Xue family's corruption and bribery, and was finally stripped of the title of king and became the current marquis. !”
After Xu He heard this, he finally learned about the grudges between the two families.
He had also read the story of the Yan family of Deqing Hou in a book.
The Yan family was originally a subordinate of the Xue family, and was granted the title of Marquis of Deqing during the founding of the country.
Unexpectedly, this old subordinate later got involved with his boss, the Xue family. It was certainly not that simple.
We are all nobles, and we have never heard of any discord between the Xue Yan family and the Xue Yan family during the founding war.
Why did they suddenly turn against each other after the founding of the People's Republic of China?
Based on the principle of who benefits and who is behind the scenes, it must be the emperor who is causing trouble.
It seems that Taizu was afraid that the Xue family would not be able to survive and its reputation would be too high, so Sui found a reason to mess with the Xue family.
That makes it interesting. Don’t the Xue family know the truth behind this?
Anyone who can break through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood cannot be an idiot.
The Xue family and the Yan family's fight to the death...
Just when Xu He was thinking secretly, Xue Yongzhi walked in and said loudly: "It must be that bastard Yan Zhong, let's see how I deal with him today!"
With the thought just now, Xu He looked at Xue Yongzhi again and felt that he... was very good at acting!
Not long after, under the guidance of the previous servant, the Xue family's big boat quickly found Gu Hengbo's boat.
When the big boat arrived not far from the painting boat, the people on the painting boat had already discovered the Xue family's big boat.
I saw a few men holding on to the rickety railings on the boat, pointing at the Xue family's boat, jumping and cursing.
Seeing this, Xue Yongzhi laughed loudly and came to the bow of the ship: "Yan Zhong, I know you are on the ship, get out of here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a lean and gentle young man walked out of the boat. When he saw Xue Yongzhi, he smiled lazily: "Hey, isn't this Brother Xue? What kind of wind brings you here? Why don't you invite me? Are you coming here for a couple of drinks? Oh, by the way, unfortunately today, I have to entertain a friend, so I won’t keep you company!”
After saying that, the guy opened the hatch and walked in.
Seeing this, Xue Yongzhi probably was attracted by his arrogance this time. The element of his performance was gone, and he said with a dark face: "Go, put the planks of the boat up for me, I want to see who dares to stop him." I!"
The servants of the Xue family were probably used to being arrogant. After hearing this, they immediately picked up the planks and set up on the boat.
The servants of the Yan family on the boat were not afraid. One stood up and the other pushed, and a stalemate suddenly broke out.
At this moment, Xue Yongzhi became impatient and directly called his big boat to get close to it. Originally, Xue's boat was taller and Xue Yongzhi was also a martial arts practitioner. When the boat got closer, he simply jumped from the ship's bangs onto the painted boat.
This scene directly stunned the servants of the Yan family.
Xue Yan's family has never dealt with him. Naturally, these servants knew Xue Yongzhi. He was a dignified little marquis of the Xue family, so naturally they did not dare to make any move.
After Xue Yongzhi got on the boat, he looked at a group of Yan family servants with his hands behind his back. Seeing that no one dared to come forward, he snorted coldly and walked towards the cabin.
After a moment, Xu He saw him open the hatch and walked in.
Just when Shen Xuan and Xu He were hesitating whether to go down, they suddenly found Xue Yongzhi retreating from the cabin with an embarrassed expression.
When he came to the boat, he cursed loudly at his servants: "Why are you staring? Why don't you get down and let me pass."
After Xue Yongzhi got on his ship, Shen Xuan frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Xue Yongzhi waved his hand dejectedly, without answering Shen Xuan's question, and directly asked his servants to return the way they came.
After the ship left, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and cursed: "Yan Zhong is entertaining the new Lianghuai Salt Transport Censor Chen Lin on the ship!"
After hearing Chen Lin's name, Shen Xuan couldn't help but be shocked: "Chen Lin? He, he was appointed as the censor of the Salt Transport of the Huaihe River?"
Xue Yongzhi nodded.
The Yanyun Censor was under the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the man named Chen Lin was actually from the Yanguan system.
If you want to say that the nobles who are not afraid of heaven and earth have nothing to fear, then only Yanguan is left.
This group of people are always arrogant and perverting the law. The nobles of centuries-old families have fallen into the hands of this group of people. No wonder Xue Yongzhi is also cowardly.
When meeting this group of people, no one wants to provoke them.
The three of them came in good spirits and returned in disillusionment.
On the way, Shen Xuan pulled Xu He and whispered: "This Chen Lin is Xia Cifu's disciple, that is to say, he is Yang Tixue's junior fellow student. We Nanzhi scholars should not show their faces, in case he accuses Ti Learn from Yamen, and walk around in circles if you can’t eat!”
Xu Hexin said that it was justifiable for me to be afraid. Why are you, an old man from the pavilion, so cowardly?
While talking, the big ship came and went from nowhere.
The three of them boarded the pier, and Xue Yongzhi said apologetically with a red face: "I didn't expect that the Yan family would get involved with Yanyun Yushi. It's really not good..."
Xu and Shen felt sympathy for each other, so they put on a face of "You don't need to explain, we are scared" to empathize with him.
Xue Yongzhi finally relaxed a little when he saw the two of them being considerate and said: "How about I take you to sit on a boat in another house? There are still many people on the Qinhuai River..."
Shen Xuan waved his hand and said: "Brother Xue, forget it this time. We have lost a little bit of fate with everyone Gu. Let's save it for next time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid hurriedly caught up from the dock.
When he saw Xue Yongzhi, he said: "Little Marquis, my girl has invited me!"
Xue Yongzhi saw the visitor and asked curiously: "Aren't you... aren't you serving Gu everyone?"
The maid half-crouched and said, "Exactly!"
"Isn't she?" Xue Yongzhi asked doubtfully!
The maid smiled and said: "My girl is not accompanying guests on the boat, but reading in the boat under the moonlight!"
After saying that, she pointed to a small boat that had just stopped at the dock.
Xue Yongzhi suddenly felt that he had regained his face again, and he laughed loudly and said: "I'm just telling you, how can everyone drink with those boring people!"
The maid smiled awkwardly when she heard this, and then said: "My girl said that it was getting late and she didn't want to entertain guests, but she saw an acquaintance on Mr. Xue Hou's boat, so she asked me to invite him on board for a chat!"
"Uh...this..." Xue Yongzhi's little face that was so proud just now turned dark again!
