Someone skilled in maritime affairs?
Li Chengyi looked at Gu Zhengchen in astonishment and said quickly: "The imperial court has strict orders. If there is no decree document, who dares to let the people into the sea. It will not help to find these people now, why bother?"
Gu Zhengchen patted his clothes, stood up and took two steps. He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky: "Changge, there are always things that need to be prepared in advance. Time is not waiting for me, so you can't miss the opportunity."
Li Chengyi suddenly stood up, walked to Gu Zhengchen's side, and asked excitedly: "Can you open the sea?"
Gu Zhengchen smiled and shook his head: "Whether the sea can be opened or not is the emperor's business. What we have to do is to use the results to convince the emperor. I want to arrange a voyage to get rich trade products from Nanyang. , then transported to Jinling and sold to merchants."
Li Chengyi looked pale and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, absolutely not."
"Why?"
Gu Zhengchen asked rhetorically.
Li Chengyi was a little afraid and explained: "If you go to sea without permission from the court, you will be beheaded or exiled to the army. Who dares to take such a risk? Even if you go secretly, you can't go to Jinling to sell goods. Once the court knows, who can run away? Take it off? By then, even if I have a hundred heads, I still can’t withstand being chopped off by a ghost-headed sword."
Make money by doing business first and then convince the emperor. What are you thinking? This is killing first and then reporting later. You are just a governor, not the emperor's son. How can you be so bold?
Yes, you have a good relationship with the navy and can mobilize the navy to catch pirates, but are you sure that the ship leaving Quanzhou Port is not a pirate ship in the eyes of the navy?
Li Chengyi firmly opposed it. This was an unquestionable death plan and it would not work at all.
Gu Zhengchen patted Li Chengyi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Just write the letter if you are told. Master, I will not seek death."
Li Chengyi looked deeply at Gu Zhengchen and asked helplessly: "Is there anything else I don't know?"
Gu Zhengchen did not explain, but just said: "Wait patiently, you will know everything."
Bluestone Lane.
A door opened. Zhang Jiujing carried his luggage, looked around, closed the door, and hurriedly walked in the narrow alley paved with bluestones. After reaching the main street, he blended into the crowd. Soon after, he left the South City Gate and looked for He took off his coir raincoat, disguised himself as an old farmer, and headed south.
Along the way, Zhang Jiujing turned around from time to time to check, for fear of being followed. He took out his water bag when he was thirsty, took out naan cakes from his bag when he was hungry, and did not dare to rest when he was tired. He walked for several hours. At dusk, Seeing that he had missed the village, Zhang Jiujing found an abandoned earth temple and hid in a corner to rest.
rustle.
Zhang Jiujing woke up suddenly and looked outside with the moonlight shining in. He saw two beggars limping in with crutches.
When the beggar saw Zhang Jiujing, he was only slightly surprised. Without saying anything, he found a place to lie down.
Zhang Jiujing felt a little uneasy, picked up his luggage, stood up, and walked out cautiously.
"We've been on a journey all day, why not have a good night's rest."
The voice suddenly sounded.
Zhang Jiujing took a step back and looked intently. He saw one of the beggars sitting down, holding a cane in his hand and looking at him sternly.
"Do you really want to make things happen?"
Zhang Jiujing gritted his teeth.
The beggar let out a piercing sneer: "Master Zhang, what are you talking about? Just lie down and sleep. It's too late. Our brothers don't want to take action. We will send you out of Fujian Province tomorrow. You can be well. You forget about Quanzhou Prefecture." , we don’t remember you either, how about that?”
Zhang Jiujing shook his head and said painfully: "Can I still believe you? Last night, his old man said personally that he would keep Tang Tongpan! When I told Tang Xian the news, he was so happy! He said, as long as you Asking for money means that the matter is done. But whoever wants it, just one night, you take action and kill him!"
The beggar stood up and paused with his crutch: "Master Zhang, we two brothers don't understand the thoughts of your big shot. Whatever orders are passed down from above, we will obey them."
Zhang Jiujing smiled miserably and dropped his luggage: "Stop being pretentious. You can kill Tang Xian and silence him forever. Of course, you can't leave me alive. Tang Xian can threaten the Bu family, so can I."
The beggar looked at Zhang Jiujing, who was resigned to his fate, and nodded: "Okay, I admit, you do have to die. It's hard for you to find such a place."
Zhang Jiujing knew that he was no match for them and sat down dejectedly: "I was wrong."
"Is it too late to admit my mistake now?"
The beggar walked towards Zhang Jiujing.
Zhang Jiujing was bitter and shouted unwillingly: "My mistake was that after hearing the news of Tang Xian's death, I chose to run away instead of going to Magistrate Gu to confess everything!"
The beggar laughed loudly: "Go to Magistrate Gu? Hey, a Magistrate who has lost his seal, how can you survive by looking for him? It's not that you don't want to look for him, but you know that he can't keep you safe! Master Zhang, before you go on the road , but do you still have something to say?”
Zhang Jiujing looked at the crutches getting closer and closer, and took a deep breath: "If you stay with a tiger, you will never end well."
The beggar raised his crutch and grinned: "On the road to Huangquan, send a message to Tang Tongpian. Tell him that the name of the person who killed him is Lu Pan!"
Zhang Jiujing looked at the crutch raised high and closed his eyes.
puff!
Zhang Jiujing felt blood splashing on his face, and the corners of his mouth moved, feeling salty.
"who is it!"
Lu Pan took two steps back, holding back the pain and looking out the door.
Another beggar, Lu Chang, stood up suddenly and looked at Lu Pan. He saw an arrow pierced through his right hand holding the cane, and a drop of blood condensed at the arrow.
Blood drops dripped and hit the ground, dust was stirred up, and the floor tiles were stained.
Lu Chang was shocked and stood up to protect Lu Pan, staring at the door.
despair.
One foot stepped heavily on the stone steps, followed by the other foot.
"If you kill, just kill, why bother with all the nonsense. It's okay now, I want this person, and none of you can take him away."
Xiao Cheng stood at the door, filled with evil aura.
Lu Pan and Lu Chang looked at each other, and they looked outside the door again. There was no bow and arrow in the person's hand. Obviously there were other people outside! ..??m
"It's you!"
Zhang Jiujing finally recognized it.
After all, Xiao Cheng is too strong and sometimes even more arrogant than Gu Zhengchen. It's hard to remember.
Xiao Cheng glanced at Zhang Jiujing and said coldly: "Prefect Gu said that if Tang Xian is dead, nothing will happen to you again. You'd better explain some things clearly."
Zhang Jiujing felt very defeated.
I left Jinjiang City in a hurry, thinking that I was very careful and cautious, but the result was good. Not only were people following me, but there were more than one wave of people...
"Are you from Gu Zhengchen?"
After Lu Chang heard clearly, he looked at the injured Lu Pan, then winked at Zhang Jiujing, suddenly stepped forward, and pointed the crutch in his hand towards Zhang Jiujing's chest.
Ding!
A knife knocks the cane away.
"If you want to kill someone in front of me, you must be a little green."
Xiao Cheng held the knife with one hand, raised his foot and kicked back, knocking Zhang Jiujing over several somersaults.
Zhang Jiujing fell in the corner, feeling cold all over. He wanted to scold Xiao Cheng to death. Why don't you just stay in front and kick me?
Judge Lu was a ruthless character. He took out his short knife and cut off the arrow, then pulled it out directly. He cut a piece of cloth from his body and wrapped it around the wound. His forehead was covered with big beads of sweat: "Give me two seconds to breathe." , Zhang Jiujing must die!"
Lu Chang nodded heavily, raised his crutch and hit Xiao Cheng on the head.
Xiao Cheng took a move, and then shot suddenly, with the knife in his hand, opening and closing it widely, using it all for the killing move!
Lu Chang clearly saw Xiao Cheng's flaw, but he didn't dare to take action and could only passively parry.
The other party is a madman, and he uses the sword technique of exchanging injuries for lives. In other words, once you inflict a wound on him, he can take this opportunity to kill himself!
At the same time as taking action, it means that a flaw appears.
Lu Chang retreated step by step and was completely suppressed.
Lu Pan quickly walked towards Zhang Jiujing, raised his crutch and smashed it down.
call out!
puff!
Lu Pian stepped back again, looking at the arrow on his left hand, somewhat lost in thought.
"I just watched you pull out the arrow, but you didn't say a word. You are a good man. I, Qin Song, admire men the most. You pull out the arrow again and I have a look. I was standing a little far away and didn't look carefully."
Qin Song came out of the darkness with a bow in his hand and an arrow on the bowstring.
Judge Lu got angry and pulled out the arrow without using a dagger, then threw it on the ground and shouted: "If you have the ability..."
puff!
Judge Lu lowered his head and looked at an arrow stuck in his right leg.
Qin Song took another arrow from the arrow pot, put it on the bowstring, and praised: "Good job, try pulling it out again."
Lu Pan gritted his teeth, raised his hand and pulled out the arrow. Before he could drop it, another arrow was inserted into his left leg.
Qin Song looked at Lu Pan, who was lying sideways on the ground and crawling out little by little, and asked quickly: "You don't want to kill anyone. Just pull out the arrow and I will leave. You can kill as you like."
Judge Lu cried.
Damn, this is a pervert. He likes to watch people pull out arrows and play with them. As soon as he pulls out one, he will add another. If he continues like this, he will kill him sooner or later.
boom!
Qin Song frowned and looked at the dust. Did Xiao Cheng kick someone out of the wall?
It's not immoral at all. This is a temple to the earth. How can you destroy the building?
Xiao Chengti and Lu Chang came over, looked at Lu Pan who was crawling on the ground and crying, and said disdainfully: "Is this the killer? Bah, even Zhang Shicheng's army can't compare."
Qin Song was speechless.
Zhang Jiujing is just a scholar, so sending two people to deal with him is good enough, not to mention these two are ruthless characters...
"You are?"
Zhang Jiujing looked at the door in shock. Two more people came out and carried Lu Pan and Lu Chang out.
Xiao Cheng looked at Qin Song: "This person is also handed over to you. Don't let them die before Magistrate Gu regains control of the government office."
Qin Song grinned and agreed cheerfully, grabbed Zhang Jiujing and walked out.
At some point, a carriage stopped outside.
Zhang Jiujing finally figured it out, these people are all Gu Zhengchen's people, and Gu Zhengchen has never been just Xiao Cheng, Zhang Pei and Li Chengyi!
Terrible prefect, terrible power!
Obviously, Gu Zhengchen came to Quanzhou Mansion well prepared!
Everyone in Quanzhou Mansion was deceived by him. No one knew that Gu Zhengchen had power outside the government office, and this would kill them!
