Xin Ciying felt that he had aged very much recently.
In the past, when I was young, I could kill thieves with a knife. I often studied day and night to get my fame.
But now...
After watching the sea outside Mingzhou City for a few days, he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer.
At first I didn't sleep at all, then I slept a little less.
As of today, he has completely returned to his normal routine.
The beach is full of water, so personal hygiene is easy to deal with; just clothes...
He came in a hurry...well, the main reason was that the emperor was so scary that he didn't dare not be in a hurry.
The people in Mingzhou City hate these people so much that it can be said that nine out of ten households in Mingzhou are not engaged in farming.
The livelihood of the people in the city depends entirely on the ships coming in and out of Mingzhou Port.
But after they stayed here for a few days, the number of ships in Mingzhou Port was half less than usual!
What does it mean?
It means that this group of people are here to cut off people’s financial opportunities!
Although they did find Jin Guoxizuo, but... what does that have to do with everyone?
I don’t care about the Jinren Xia people, I don’t care about the Korean and Japanese countries, don’t we all want to do business?
The Mingzhou government office was under increasing pressure, and the Mingzhou prefect came to see Xin Ciying more and more times every day.
But Xin Ciying was very determined.
I heard the news from Lin'an yesterday that the fake Princess Roufu had been beaten to death in Dali Temple.
Although he did not receive praise from the emperor, he could imagine what he would say if he were in front of Zhao Guan's family,
"You boy, you did a good job!"
Strangely enough, although the emperor was more than a year younger than himself, Xin Ciying felt that it was natural to hear him speak like this.
Except for the heavy rain in the past few days, the weather in Mingzhou is really good. The people in the Infantry Division may have never received such a pleasant job. One by one, they all came here as an outing.
And while outing, you can also earn some credit.
The good days are coming, and there really is nothing to stop them.
Several white fishing birds were startled, and a one-story-high ship slowly sailed into the port.
"This is the thirty-first ship today," Yu Hou, who was in front of Xin Ciying, stood up and took a look, "the one hanging... is... the boat is from Pulai, Shanghai."
After completing his task, when Xin Ciying wrote it down on the paper, Yu Hou hurriedly urged:
"Sir, continue, how did the officials do it when Wu Shangshu deceived them like this?"
"Deceive the king! A deceiver is both a deceiver and a humiliator. The official took the knife, pointed it at the thief and said, 'Don't you think my sword is not sharp?' When he said it, he was late and then quickly. The official said with a big hand. Wai..."
He stopped again at the critical moment, making everyone anxious.
"wrong!"
Xin Ciying stood up and looked towards the ship.
"Sir...what's wrong?"
Yu Hou looked at his expression and followed his eyes, but saw that the people from the Infantry Division had already begun to board the ship to investigate... No matter how you look at it, it seems normal.
Xin Ciying frowned and said: "Shanghai Bureau is the liquor tax office established during the Xining period. In today's Xiuzhou, that place should be among the top ten in liquor tax..."
Apart from wine, Shanghai Pu has no special products, and its current population is no more than one town.
But their ship came to Mingzhou.
Mingzhou’s wine business ranks first in Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces. They are not here to sell wine;
The price of wine in Mingzhou is several times higher than that in Shanghai Pu, and it is even less likely that this person is here to buy wine.
In addition, the only places pointed out by the officials at that time were Shanghai Urar and Myeongju...
Xin Ciying could no longer hold his breath, and ran faster and faster towards the ship.
And on the ship at this time...
The Imperial Guards of the Infantry Division prepared to investigate as usual, and the captain of the ship at the head kept saying with a smile:
"Master Jun, it's not very nice to see. It's such a hot day. Let's take the brothers to have tea..."
With that said, he stuffed a lot of money into the hands of the leading imperial army.
The man put the knife and scabbard on his shoulder and stuffed the money into his armor: "This is official business. Don't bother the boatman. I'll let you in after I've seen it."
"Master Jun, Master Jun..."
He grabbed the Imperial Guard's wrist again and said, "Let me tell you, this ship is actually a ship from the Kingdom of Jin."
As he spoke, he had a humble smile on his face.
"The Kingdom of Jin..." The Imperial Guard smiled disdainfully, "I'm just going to check the ships of the Kingdom of Jin!"
"no……"
Shiplao Dadao: "You don't understand what I mean."
"I understand you..."
Before he could utter the last word, a large knife penetrated his side.
Maybe it happened too fast, maybe they were used to being lax in the past few days, but they never expected that such a thing would happen.
The remaining dozen or so Imperial Guards didn't even respond, and were all hacked to death on the ship.
"Marshal, there seems to be strict inspections here in Mingzhou..."
The boss of the ship glared at him: "Isn't Shanghai Pu also checking? Are you afraid of a bird?"
After that, he ordered: "Raise the flag, blow the trumpet, and change clothes!"
They moved very quickly. When Xin Ciying arrived, he only saw a group of golden men wearing armor on the deck.
The boat boss looked up at the old man dressed as a scholar, grinned, and smiled with his blood-red gums showing.
Taking a gentle breath and looking at Yu Hou running behind him, Xin Ciying shouted:
"Prepare for war! Prepare for war!"
As he spoke, he quickly ran towards the camp.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Yu Hou didn't see the situation on the boat and was still confused at this time.
Xin Ciying gasped as he ran: "The golden man...the golden soldiers are here."
this……
"Sir, can you see clearly?"
"All of you who inspected the ship were killed by them."
Yu Hou was shocked. He quickly put on his helmet, picked up his sword and started running.
"You ran the wrong way!" Xin Ci was angry that he was confused, "That's Mingzhou City, and this is Mingzhou Port!"
"Young general knows! Now the enemy is attacking. Mingzhou City has high walls and thick walls. We will use the city to reject them!"
As he spoke, he waved to Xin Ciying: "Hurry up, sir!"
Xin Ciying was so angry that blood rushed to his head: "They are only a few dozen people in a boat. We have five hundred forbidden troops here. Don't run away!"
These words were useless, Yu Hou had no intention of stopping at his feet.
"Fuck you!"
This should be the only curse word that Xin Ciying ever said in his life. His feet seemed to have wings, and he ran after Yu Hou with long strides.
Even so, Xin Ciying didn't catch up with him until he could see the city gate.
"so close……"
Yu Hou wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw that the little old man was not much better than himself, so he couldn't help but sigh:
In front of the golden man, everyone's legs and feet were very agile.
But before he could sigh for long, he felt his hands were empty...
Xin Ciying pulled out his knife and put it on his neck:
"You...give it to me...go back to me!"
