Sun Zan, the eldest son of the Huichang Hou family, is very fast.
After getting the emperor's order, it took eight days to rush from the capital to Qiantang.
It might have been faster if we hadn't been dragging a cart full of military supplies, which delayed the process.
After arriving in Qiantang County, Sun Zan and others began to inquire about Yu Qian's residence.
Originally, Sun Zan and others had attracted the attention of many people because they were strangers. Later, they began to inquire about Yu Qian's residence. This made people even more suspicious that it was the corrupt officials who suppressed Yu Qian when he was an official and sent people to kill him. Yu Taibao.
Yu Qian's prestige in the local area is very high, and the people also love him very much.
Even though Sun Zan and others kept asking, no one was willing to tell them where Yu Qian lived, and some even went to the government to report it.
Because Sun Zan and others have been in the army all year round, they have a sense of killing more or less about them. In addition, they are all tall and strong and do not look like good people, so they give the people such an illusion.
This departure was not for sightseeing, but for the great responsibility of protecting His Majesty's teacher Yu Taibao, so the people Sun Zan chose were all soldiers who had experienced battlefields and killed people.
Various evil spirits are regarded as strong men by the people in small places, and it is no wonder that the people are here.
After Sun Zan and the others wandered around the market to no avail, everyone was full of doubts.
And there are fewer and fewer people on the streets.
At the end, only Sun Zan and a group of people were left on the street.
Sun Zan glanced at the brother next to him and said, "I have long heard that people in the south are much shyer than us. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it must be true. I am embarrassed to see strangers. .”
The strong man next to him should also have some brains. He looked at Sun Zan and replied: "Is it possible that we people are ugly and have bad looks, which scared them."
Hearing this, Sun Zan was extremely reluctant.
Who is my aunt, the Empress Dowager? It’s okay for you to be ugly. I, the eldest son of the Hou family, am young and promising, kind-hearted, and heroic. How can I be described as ugly?
"What nonsense? Who looks ugly? I'm just a little dark..."
Sun Zan retorted.
As soon as Sun Zan finished speaking, everyone started laughing.
What happened next made them unable to laugh.
A dozen government officials appeared at one end of the street, but when they saw Sun Zan and the others, they did not rush forward to question them.
I think they were intimidated by their momentum and their numbers.
When the leader of the catcher saw so many people on the other side, he immediately ordered to stop advancing, and then began to shake people.
Whatever you do, never put yourself in a dangerous situation.
At this time, Sun Zan and his party all knew that what the strong man said should be right.
They really scared people because of their appearance and temperament.
Otherwise, why would all the government officials be here?
Sun Zan said to the people next to him: "You guys stand here for now. I'll go give them a good talk and ask them where Yu Taibao lives. I think they will tell me."
"We'd better stand still and wait for others to come over and ask. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will just attack you and chop you down."
The strong man who just spoke spoke again.
After hearing this, Sun Zan chuckled slightly, indicating that he did not agree with what he said, but his body was surprisingly honest and he did not dare to move a step.
No matter how good his martial arts skills are, he is still afraid of kitchen knives. All his armors and weapons are in the carriage. If he goes over with his bare hands, if someone draws a knife and cuts him, he will have no power to fight back.
The officer's knife is not a prop in Capt. Xing's hand, nor is it a fake hand when wielded...
Especially the head-catching knife, it is the famous Yanling knife, almost as famous as the Xiuchun knife. It is also a waist knife that can only be worn by ordinary people. Because the blade is relatively straight and has a very small curvature, it is called Yanling in shape. It is the Yanling knife.
Because of the curvature of this knife, it can not only cut people, but also stab people. Whether it is cutting or stabbing, it will kill people.
"Then we just stand here stupidly?"
"right."
After half an hour, the number of government officials on the opposite side was increasing, and when the number was almost the same as that of Sun Zan and others, they were led by the arrester and walked towards Sun Zan and others.
As the arrester walked away, he asked loudly: "Who are you, and why are you asking around for Yu Taibao's residence? Do you have any evil intentions? In a clear world, in broad daylight, and in a society ruled by law, I advise you to arrest without mercy, so as not to die on the spot."
After saying that, the catcher pulled out the Yan Ling knife from his waist, which acted as a deterrent.
The other government officials also drew their swords one after another.
Sun Zan quickly replied loudly: "We are people from the capital. We are here under orders to find Lord Yu Qian, and we don't have any ill intentions. Everyone, please don't misunderstand."
After hearing Sun Zan's words, the arrester hesitated a little. There were quite a few people from the capital who wanted to visit Yu Taibao, but most of them were old men, but he had never seen a group of ferocious young men.
"What's the proof?"
"General documents, Beijing camp transfer orders." Sun Zan said quickly, and then took out these two official letters from his arms.
The government officials also stopped moving forward, and the head catcher shouted: "Take it over, no one else can move."
After Sun Zan heard this, he walked towards the Yamen servant and the others.
But when the catcher read the document with the big seal and transferred the order, he felt a little disappointed.
If these people were really strong men, they would have made great achievements.
For so many years in Qiantang, there has been no murder case for several years. They were all about people throwing chickens and businesses fighting on the street. The Yan Ling knife on the waist has never been used.
After the identities of Sun Zan and others were confirmed, the arrester still wanted to take them back to the county government office, saying that he would ask the county magistrate to take them to Yu Taibao's home.
The county magistrate of Qiantang, Zhou Youde, has been having a hard time these past six months.
He often told his subordinates that he was the most unlucky county magistrate in the Ming Dynasty.
A seventh-rank official had to serve Yu Qian, who had retired from a first-rank official position, and was also the emperor's teacher. Coupled with Yu Qian's character, which could not tolerate a moment of disdain in his eyes, Zhou Youde's life became even more difficult.
Under the guidance of the head catcher, Sun Zan met the unluckiest county magistrate. After expressing his intention to come, Zhou Youde was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Is it true that Your Majesty misses Yu Taibao too much? He asked you to come here to protect him." Yu Taibao returns to the capital."
Sun Zan didn't know why the county magistrate was so excited, but the initiative was no longer in his hands. He came to Qiantang just to listen to Yu Qian's words. Wherever he wanted to go, he would follow him. In response to the county magistrate's inquiry, he But I couldn't even answer half of it.
Seeing Sun Zan in trouble, Zhou Youde felt that his guess must be good, and he happily took Sun Zan and others to Yu Qian's home.
At this time, Yu Qian's house was the most lively.
Zhu Ji, the commander of Jinyiwei, returned from Zhennanguan and passed through Qiantang specifically to visit his father-in-law.
Now that Yu Qian has retired, Zhu Ji doesn't have so many worries anymore.
Zhu Ji also sent someone to bring his wife, Junying, and children to Qiantang.
Yu Mian, his wife, and children are also in the old house.
A big family, having fun...
But after Yu Qian finished talking about his next plan, the whole family was stunned on the spot.
Yu Qian actually wanted to visit Southwest China and Jiaozhou City...
