Following Li Qianhu's instructions, Lin Linyou and Zhang Bi took four operational captains to the water transport dock outside the city, where two official ships were already waiting.
"Second brother," Zhang Bi said, "can't you call a few more people?"
"It's just to escort the goods, not to arrest theft, so why bring so many people?" Lin Lin said, "Besides, many of the administrative captains are on vacation. Those who are not on vacation, hundreds of households also need to look after their houses. Don't be Someone stole the tower!”
It was almost dusk, and the white sails of the two official ships were raised one after another, and the lanterns hung on the masts and in the bow and stern of the ships were also lit one after another.
The name on one lantern is "Chief Salt Transport Envoy", while the other lantern has only one word - "Ji".
The two of them led the captains onto the "Ji" boat one by one on the springboard.
The general salt transport officer Sina's ship was escorted by officers. Apart from a few sailors and helmsmen on the "Ji" ship, they were the only ones in uniform and guard, so they were at ease.
Not long after boarding the ship, the two ships started moving together, with the "General Salt Transportation Envoy" in front and the "Ji" ship following.
Lin Linyou didn't like being surrounded by people, so he waved his hands and told his lieutenants to disperse and do whatever they wanted. I stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the scenery. Under the hazy night, the clear water was filled with smoke, and the distant mountains were like black clouds.
Zhang Bi ordered the captains to cook some vegetables and warm a pot of wine, and then he came over and stood side by side with Lin Linyou on the bow:
"what's on your mind?"
"I'm thinking," Lin Linyou looked into the distance. The distant mountains were already like ink, "Are actors really ruthless?"
Zhang Bi was amused: "You want to ask, is the bitch really unrighteous?"
"Oh no, brother, you are really a little worm in my intestines! You said it all right."
"Hmph, apart from being a bitch, have you ever been in contact with an actor?"
Lin Linyou sighed, patted the railing of the boat and said slowly, "I'm a little panicked...Miss Yu seems to have fallen in love with me."
"You fell in love with her, right?" Zhang Ben said with a smile, "Second brother, can you stop being so narcissistic? It's really an old lady who got under the covers and made me laugh."
"Narcissistic? If I were a girl, I would have fallen in love with myself a long time ago." Lin Linyou said seriously, "If you were a girl, you would have fallen in love with me a long time ago!"
Zhang Ben said with affection: "Second brother, I am not a girl, I love you too..."
"Ci'ao!" Lin Linyou held down Zhang Bi's head, jumped up and punched him twice. The sound sounded like a good start.
Just as he was enjoying the fight, the respectful voice of the captain came from the cabin: "Two adults, the food and wine are ready."
Lin Linyou waved his hand and walked into the cabin: "You guys go down!"
"Yes!" The captains agreed in unison and retreated.
"Damn! You didn't do it lightly or hard! You don't hit people in the face, I rely on my face to make a living!" Zhang Ben walked in, rubbing his eyes.
Lin Linyou poured him wine: "Where is it? I only gave 30% of my strength, okay?"
These lieutenants are quite knowledgeable and have good cooking skills. They have three simple dishes: smoked chicken with soy sauce, steamed grouper, and a pot of Chinese onions mixed with tofu. These are all dishes that are cooked as soon as they are heated, steamed and boiled. No wonder they are so fast.
The two sat cross-legged facing each other, looking out the window at the green mountains and flowing water, the moon and stars, eating and drinking, which was very comfortable.
"Second brother, your mouth is better." Zhang Bi said, "But I still think your lips are more beautiful and sexy with thick lips."
"If you like it, I'll ask Yu Miaolan for the formula later and apply it on you too!" Lin Linyou silently put a piece of fish meat into his mouth without looking up.
"I suddenly remembered that the doctor said that the trauma medicine she applied was to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis?" Zhang Ben held a piece of smoked chicken in his mouth, swallowing it in his mouth, and tugged at the beard of his chin thoughtfully.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Zhang Bi: "Put it on your chest?"
Lin Linyou: "Yes...otherwise how could I have been poisoned."
"Did you see the injury on her chest clearly?"
Lin Linyou shook his head: "No, an injury is an injury. Is there any difference?"
"Of course!" Zhang Ben narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Linyou, "That night, I used the monkey fist and hit the assassin's chest, the female assassin."
"You don't doubt that the female assassin is her, right?" Lin Lin said, "That shouldn't be the case. She doesn't look like she can do martial arts."
"Not like that?" Zhang Bi straightened up, "If that female assassin had strong martial arts skills, would I still be able to sit across from you and drink and chat with you now?"
Obviously he was a little excited, and the meat spray sprayed onto Lin Linyou's face.
Lin Linyou wiped his face and waved his hands in disgust: "If she is really related to the descendants of the Huang family of the Jianwen Party, why did they only kill you and not me? I sleep next to her, how about cutting me? Isn’t it easier?”
"First, if I kill you, she will be the number one suspect, and it will be difficult to escape her involvement." Zhang Bi said, "Second, your martial arts skills are better than mine, so it will be easier to kill me!"
"I think there is a third factor." Lin Lin said, "Third factor, she must have fallen in love with me, so..."
"Second brother, you don't want to be blinded by the beauty! I'm talking to you about business!"
"Yes Yes……"
"What if she really is a member of the Jianwen Party? What would you do?"
"The female dependents of the Jianwen Party are just joining the Jiaofang Division. She is already in the Jiaofang Division..."
"Anyway, you should pay more attention to her in the future and be wary of her!"
"I know, brother," Lin Lin said, "Don't always doubt this or that. Even if she is a member of the Jianwen Party, how much trouble can a woman cause?"
"Doubt this or that? I still doubt you!" Zhang Bi said, "The night I was stabbed, you didn't hear anything? Didn't she sleep next to you the whole time?"
"I really didn't hear anything, I fell asleep very early..."
"Yes, yes, you sleep like a pig." Zhang Bi said, "If you had listened, Li Rui wouldn't have died tragically next door to you. I almost became the second Li Rui."
"Brother, please calm down..." Lin Linyou picked up a large piece of chicken butt and put it into Zhang Bi's bowl.
At this time, a school captain came in and said, "Two adults, do you want food? The food is ready."
Lin Linyou pointed at Zhang Bi and said, "If Master Baihu wants it, give him a big portion!"
Captain: "Okay!"
Zhang Bi: "..."
…
After eating and drinking, both of them stood on the bow of the boat with their hands clasped and watched the night view on the river. The river wind roared, blowing their beards and robes...
Along the way, you can occasionally see one or two small thatched huts on the river bank, or one or two small fishing boats docked on the shore. The lights on the huts and fishing boats are all off, showing the loneliness and desolation of the winter night, which makes your heart feel even colder.
"Brother, we should be lying in the warm quilt at this time and looking at the New Year pictures."
"Or hugging a pretty girl."
"Does it count as working overtime now?"
"It doesn't count."
"oh?"
"Jinyiwei has a flexible working system."
"..."
The river surface also gradually narrowed, and one could see the withered yellow reeds and large tracts of white daisy flowers on the bank, which looked like snow under the moonlight.
Sometimes when the boatman drops his pole, a wild duck will startle and fly away, croaking and cursing.
Suddenly I heard "dong--" a loud bell came from the distant mountain, which was ethereal to my ears.
This is the midnight bell of Hanshan Temple, which is called the "Dingye Bell".
Hanshan Temple is just ahead.
"Outside the Hanshan Temple in Gusu City, the midnight bell rings for the passenger ship." Zhang Bi sighed, "Good poetry, really good poetry! Second brother, you said this cultural man is different. I failed the college entrance examination, and the most I can say is It doesn’t matter!”
Lin Linyou was affectionate and selfless: "From now on, we are home all over the world, so the fortress is rustling and the reeds are rustling in autumn."
"..." Zhang Bi seemed to be moved by the poetry. He stayed for a moment and clapped his hands silently, "Good poem, good poem... But it seems to be winter now..."
…
The boat slowly sailed into the river port. From a distance, I saw a few lanterns on the river bank illuminating the trousers and skirts of several people, but their upper bodies were shrouded in haze, making it difficult to see their faces, which looked a bit mysterious.
"Tell me, why did Shen Wendu ask us to meet in the temple?" Zhang Bi looked at the people on the river bank.
"Because the property is kept in the temple." Lin Linyou said without thinking.
"Then why did he put his property in the temple?" Zhang Bi seemed to be taking the exam, "Have you ever thought about it?"
"The monks have nothing, so let's hide them in the temple!" Lin Linyou thought about it seriously this time, "And the dock is right outside the mountain gate, which is also convenient."
"Indeed, what you said makes sense." Zhang Bi said, "But there is a biggest reason that you didn't expect."
"Brother, I'm all ears. I'm willing to hear the details. If you have any questions, hurry up." Lin Linyou clasped his fists.
Zhang Bi glanced around and saw the four captains standing not far away but knowingly. He lowered his voice, leaned into Lin Linyou's ear and said, "There are rumors that when Emperor Jianwen fled, he opened the There is a box left by Emperor Taizu Gao, what do you think is in the box?"
Lin Linyou: "I'm a kid and I'm still guessing! Aren't they just ultimatums, cassocks, razors, and monk's hats? There are records in the "Zhi Shen Lu" during the Wanli period. I even wonder if these things were brought by Emperor Lao Zhu in Huangjue Temple The belongings from that time... Hey, the name of Huangjue Temple is great! The Human Emperor is awakening! Tell me, how could history have such a coincidence?"
"Yes!" Zhang Bi said, "There are rumors in the public, and the emperor cannot be unaware of it. Therefore, the temples in the two capitals, thirteen provinces, and the Seven Guards in Kansai must also have spies."
"You mean, people like Shen Wendu and others are the court's spies?"
"To be precise, it is Lord Ji Gangji's spy." Zhang Bi said, "It is impossible for the emperor to arrange the spy himself. This is tantamount to a disguised admission that Zhu Yunwen is still alive..."
