Chapter 139: The Bold Bandit

The sign of the official ship was hung out, and it was sacked by someone. Liu Yu's breath was naturally unsatisfied. This gave him a reason to accept punishment. The governors of Guangdong and Guangxi dared to blackmail, which was too bold.

"Mr. Wu... Your identity has been available too quickly..." Zhen'er was worried.

"Madam, don't worry..." Liu Yu said, "Aren't we all fake identities? These people don't know our true identities, so the prince's safety should be fine."

"Yes, mom, don't worry, the child is just Mr. Wu." Jianshen said, and he laughed while saying, "Today I went to the yamen to see the appearance of those blackmailers, it was really ridiculous... one by one, a few deer-headed and rat-eyed..."

Mother... Zhen'er thought that this "son" was really naive. If the capital was far away from the emperor, it would be far away from the sky. If the people in this county government did not recognize the official seal document, the identity of the governor would be useless. There were several cases of missing officials back then. The bandit pretended to have committed crimes in office, but the court was not willing to make a statement. After all, this was someone negligent, giving the bandits an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Master...the people from Jinan Mansion are greeting the master at the front pier."

After the identity was revealed, there were naturally people receiving it along the way. The governor was not very good, but he had great power, not to mention that Wu Zhen was still the censor. But...

"Madam, I heard that Liang Fang went south with the reinforcements. He had arrived in Wuzhou." The visitor reported.

When the prince went south, he was naturally inseparable from the ceremonial guards. When he left the capital, the troops were divided into two groups. The few people who served the prince in the palace followed the army to the south, so this fake prince was naturally inseparable.

"I really don't understand... why don't you let me fight in person and make contributions..." Jianshen said, "but let Liang Fang pretend to be me."

"People are personally expeditioning? The prince is personally expeditioning," said Zhen'er. "Didn't the prince follow them to Guangxi to suppress bandits? You are just the young governor who goes to Guangdong and Guangxi to take office. You really think that you are the commander-in-chief. You really have the life of a war, but you may not be able to come back alive."

The boat was harbored by the official ship, and it was safe all the way. This group of people was really unfast and they were eating and drinking.

On that day, the boat sailed into a big lake. Mr. Dong Liu gave a lecture to the prince along the way, while Zhen'er leaned on the bow of the boat. There were many ships in this area, which was safer. In addition, the sailors of this boat were his own people, not hired on the street, at most they hired two locals who were leading the boat.

The reeds on both sides are snow-white, and they look very beautiful.

"The shadow of the willows in the river is cold and the new rain is raining, and the sound of the geese is soaring to the frost sky. I am sad that I am alone facing the sand head, and the water surrounds the reeds and flowers and the moon fills the boat." This poem is Bai Juyi's "Give to Jiang Ke".

"This area is the most beautiful here." said the pilot. "You are here for the first time on a boat to this lake. With such a beautiful scenery, why not just rest here at night?"

"Is this area safe?" Zhen'er asked.

"Look at what Madam, you said, how many ships have you encountered today? Why is it unsafe here? This area is densely populated and there are no thieves, so the scenery is beautiful." The pilot said, he was registered by the local government office, so how can he be considered a reliable person?

Everyone was tired, so smoke from cooking was rising, making food here. Later boats caught up...

At the middle of the night, the weather suddenly changed outside and it became much colder.

"Pu..." There was a sound outside, and Zhen'er pushed open the window.

"Just duck!" Jianshen, who was sleeping on the bed next to him, said. Although the cabin was small, Zhen'er would not leave the prince.

The ducklings were a little heavier, it was the sound of wood pulp hitting water. There were boats beside them, and three boats approached them. The boat was not small, and it seemed to be passenger ships. The largest one was obviously an official ship, with a lantern on the bow, and the word "Li" was written on it.

"Which adult are you?" The sailor on the night side stepped forward and said hello.

"Mr. Li, we were the prefect of Jiangzhou..." The other party said, there were so many censors, so the night-time person didn't ask any more questions.

"Pu..." The sound was a bit dull.

"Someone fell into the water..." Zhen'er sat up suddenly, but heard a mess of footsteps.

"Not good!" Zhen'er pulled up Jianshen on the bed, "There is a thief!"

"What thief?" Jianshen poked his head out. There were more than a dozen small boats that had emerged from somewhere outside the window. There were three or four people standing on each boat, and there seemed to be dozens of people. These people had surrounded the place.

"The robber who robbed the official ship..." Jianshen looked back at Zhen'er. "This Lord Li is back to Beijing. There should be a lot of good things on the ship. Are you not afraid of reporting it here?"

"If you kill together, what do you report...it's a lot...how's so unlucky?" Zhen'er said, "You hide in the warehouse. If you really can't do it, just hide from the secret. I'll go and see... I'm afraid we don't have any chance of winning."

"I want to see it too, I can't escape it." Jianshen stepped out of the cabin door first, and Mr. Dong Liu was already standing at the bow of the ship.

Although it was not in front of them, under the light, you could see those people extorting money.

"Luckily, we were robbed last time, and there was no extra money." said the sailor standing at the bow of the ship.

Zhen'er said, "What a killer to help the poor... Lord Li got a lot of money, I'll look at the box..."

"What are you talking about!" Jianshen seemed angry, "You... aren't you... all yamen officers? Why don't you save me when I die?"

"My master, you don't understand this." said the sailor, "How can an official ship rob? But if someone robs him, he will not report the case, even if he can't rob."

Zhu Jianshen was anxious and grabbed the sailor's chest: "This is illegal... what do you want?" He pushed hard, and the sailor fell into the water, but no one was in a hurry. How could this boatman drown so much? The water quality was good.

"Ashen, listen to our advice and don't worry about those nostalgic business." Zhen'er said, "Let's go ours."

"Zheng'er...you...you're numb...you can't do this...How can the officials of the Ming Dynasty do this?" Jianshen was really anxious.

Mr. Dong Liu spoke: "Ashen, this is not easy to deal with, let alone we have few people, so it is hard to say whether the other party is from Lord Li, whether there are enemies..."

"Sir, you are like this..." Jian Shen was anxious, "What do you usually teach me to do..."

"The heroes don't suffer the loss in front of us!" Zhen'er said, "We don't have enough manpower, and there may be bandits in the reed flowers. Ah Shen, I can't care... but it's not to ignore it. I just send troops to encircle and suppress us in the future. I hope they don't come over to deal with us..."

"No." said the locals who led the navigation, "they... they also have a purpose... you are not worth robbing... There are too few property, and it is very risky to dare to take action against the official ship. If it is not a big deal, it is not worth it."

"Is this your theory?" Mr. Dong Liu seemed a little angry, "I am really ashamed now. Zhen'er, aren't our subordinates very powerful? You said you can use one as a hundred, which is an exaggeration, but now we can use one as a three-way boss. Maybe as long as we work hard, we can save Lord Li's property... at least a few shouts, and those who are thieves are always guilty." Mr. Dong Liu changed his mind.

"You can't call me... They're so angry, what should I do if I kill us?" said the pilot.

"It's okay...we have good water!" A head came out of the water, "Master, I saw that there was no one in the reed marsh, so I took dozens of thieves, and we had more than a dozen people to save Lord Li on the opposite side..."

"Then you go quickly..." Seeing Shen was proud, "Slow up... I'll go with you too. You women, please stay on the boat!" He was about to take off his clothes at once...

"My master, don't go into the water. It's autumn, the water is cold!" said the person in the water, "Let's just row the boat! We are all martial arts practitioners, and even the master has practiced it, which scares them to death."

"What's your name? I like it!" Jianshen saw him climbing onto the boat from the lake, and the others quickly handed over the dry clothes.

"You call me Atong! Tongzhou's Tong."

"Atong, don't talk nonsense." Zhen'er said. This time, his younger brother Wantong came out with him, and he wanted to train him. Since Wanxi was not talented, his father Wangui put his hope on his younger brother Wantong.

"Atong, only success is allowed, not failure." Zhen'er said, "Sir, A Shen, go back to the cabin with me, and leave the matter outside to them."

"No, I won't go back!" Jianshen said, "Why don't you show me if there is a good show?"

"Ashen!" Zhen'er stretched out one hand and pulled him, "Come back for me!"

"Yes, don't run around... Just let the young man do his business, and then he left the capital. Logically, I shouldn't care about such nostalgic things."

"If you take care of it, just take care of it. Isn't you an official? If you don't care about such things, what do officials do? I'm not afraid of death..." Jianshen said. Zhen'er looked at Mr. Dong Liu helplessly and shook her head: "Young Master is you. We can't tell you, but I'll ask you to give you a way out."

More than a dozen people passed by. They were some bandits, and the water skills were good. Fortunately, Governor Wu's family was not vegetarian. Some people beat gongs and called for reinforcements. Some people fought with the bandits. Those people were guilty and retreated without long resistance. Although the number of people fell from the sky was not large, they were all brave. In addition, there were people in this radius of several miles, which made the group of people who wanted to rob and flee.

"As a Shen is kind-hearted to do bad things, and now he saves his family and money, but they can't save people and money anymore. The person surnamed Li is a corrupt official." Liu Xu said, looking out the window, the family was helping Lord Li's family on the opposite boat to move the boxes that were almost lost back to their official boat.

"Those are two things. It should be saved and killed." Zhu Jianshen said.

Zhen'er glared at Liu Xi: "Master... the young master is not young anymore, right and wrong is clear, but the master makes right and wrong so complicated."

"You are just a servant..." Liu Xi was angry, "It's your fault if you have something to do." His beard was a little raised. The cabin door was kicked open, and five or six people rushed into the cabin, wearing all-black clothes, and several knives surrounded Zhen'er and the others. The cabin was already small, and Liu Xi had a knife on his neck.

"Brother, grab their heads..." A masked man pushed Liu Xu to the ground. Liu Xu did not resist. Instead, he looked at Zhen'er. Zhen'er was responsible for the safety of the prince, and Zhen'er did not say anything.

"Let those nosy people put my people down and then send the box to my water village!" It seems that the tall figure among the group of people is the head.

"Robber! Let them go..." Liu Xi said, "Let them go..."

"The hero is not suffering from the loss in front of you. Lord Wu, you are an official, why bother to do nothing? We are not robbers, we are just acting for heaven and helping you with your affairs... You are a civil servant, don't you still want to bear with us? The two sides of Guangdong and Guangxi are in chaos, but your subordinates follow you to quell the chaos, not to catch us thieves. You don't want us to kill all your people!" said the masked robber head. He looked at the prince hiding beside him and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing?" said Prince Jianshen, "Your people can't beat our people...Sir...Dad, don't panic..."

I was so depressed that I wanted to write comedy and romance, so the new book will be opened in Yunqi.
