King Jin must die in the smelting field. No matter whether he is really dead or fake at this moment, he will not be able to walk out of Hedong Road alive.
After Wang Zhizhou confessed to Magistrate Cai, the two of them went to Luo Shuaisi's house together. They hid what they said to the King of Jin and did not talk about it. He only said that in order to stabilize Hedong Road, it was best to inspect every door and every house to see if there was anything wrong.
Those who are involved should be killed immediately to avoid causing trouble.
King Jin, who did not carry a bag of goldfish, was also an unscrupulous person pretending to be Long Zi.
After Luo Shuaisi heard this, because he had received one hundred thousand taels of silver from Judge Li, these two men vaguely mentioned Prime Minister Zhang. After thinking about it for a while, he knew that there was something fishy about it.
It was true that he loved money, but he didn't want to get involved in the fight for savings, so he remained silent.
Wang Zhizhou smiled and said: "Lao Luo, why bother thinking too much? There are nearly five hundred lives lost in the smelting field. Who can be spared alone? I heard that King Jin has no access to oil and salt in Kyoto. You just dig him out from under the smelting field now.
Even if you are sent to Kyoto, he will not let you go."
Luo Shuaisi waved his hand: "I just ask the garrison to patrol more, and if the bandits are caught, they will be sent to the prefect's Yamen. How about that?"
If you want him to get involved in the important affairs of the Tian family, that's a different price, and it's a sky-high price.
Besides, the explosion in the metallurgical field has nothing to do with his commander, and it has nothing to do with him.
Wang Zhizhou knew that he wanted money and had clearly marked the price. He was an innocent man. He used to be a judge under the salt and iron industry in Kyoto, but he was a fat man. There were as many people asking him to do things as crucian carp crossing the river, and he refused to accept anyone who came.
Collect money to do things.
The reason why he was sent to Hedong Road was entirely because he had a bad memory and misremembered the person who sent the money and what he wanted to do.
A godson whom all the chamberlains knew wanted to buy 100,000 yuan of salt, and a colleague wanted to send his enemy to a smelting field where there was no shit. In the end, he sent the wealthy godson to the northernmost smelting field to let the enemy
Got 100,000 yuan of salt.
After things got messed up, he tried his best to clean them up, but his godson had already suffered in the smelting yard full of wild horse manure. He had to taste the bitter consequences, so he lost most of his wealth and moved around.
, just came to Hedong Road to work as a handsome clerk, and made a small fortune that would last for a long time.
Being able to cooperate to this extent depends on the friendship of colleagues who have been together for many years.
"Okay, just send it to the Yamen and we will try it."
After Wang Zhizhou and Cai Zhifu left, Luo Shuaisi sent someone to invite Judge Li to raise the price. After a long time, no one was invited.
No one knew where Judge Li had gone. Luo Shuaisi wondered if he had fled out of fear of crime.
But if he was absconding, why didn't he escape earlier? He spent so much money on it. He should have gone somewhere else.
He didn't think much about things that had nothing to do with him. He just kept people close to Zezhou Pier and the smelting field, and no suspicious person was allowed to let go.
Since the explosion at the smelter, Zezhou Pier has set up many checkpoints to prevent people from entering and exiting at will. When Song Huiyue arrived at the pier, the ship was unable to dock.
The officer in charge of the pier asked them to go forward and dock at the next pier. This place was in disrepair and was being renovated, so they were not allowed to go near it.
Without further ado, Hou Er immediately launched the boat and continued to the north while looking for a place to go ashore.
Their boat can be abandoned, and there is no need to go to the dock to replenish water, no matter where they go ashore.
However, the terrain of Zezhou is different from that of Kyoto and Tanzhou. The ridges on both sides are undulating and covered with loess. You can see from the boat that the loess is soft and contaminated by water. When washed away by running water, it will quickly collapse and disintegrate. There are often large
A piece of rock fell into the river.
No wonder the banks along the river are unguarded and it is impossible to go ashore in such a place.
Hou Er looked at the river bank with a sad face. If the boat didn't stop, they would leave Zezhou.
"Madam, if you can't find a place to go ashore again, why not turn the boat around and go back to Kyoto."
Song Huiyue leaned on a wooden stick and landed on the ground with one leg, avoiding the injury on her leg. She looked at the endless loess in front of her and shook her head.
"We are divided up so much, which gives everyone a chance to defeat each other. It is better to rendezvous with the prince first."
The prince's troops are usually divided into two groups at most, but now they are in disarray. Some of them followed the prince to Zezhou, and some followed Xie Chuan. You Song dispersed again, and she also had a second mate here.
Coupled with the people who stayed in the palace in Kyoto, it was very suitable for the Zhang family to take action.
After Song Qinghui mentioned it, Hou Er also realized that it was dangerous to return to Beijing rashly now.
But the weather is getting worse, the clouds are gathering, and the river is becoming more and more turbulent. Once heavy rain falls, the two banks are likely to collapse. He is also a novice in boating. At most, he will not hit the bank, but he will not be able to ride the wind and waves.
Furthermore, Song Huiyue’s injury also needs further treatment.
She was a girl, and she came in a hurry. She couldn't find a female doctor, so she had to apply medicine and bandage the wound herself. Yin Xiao cut a wooden stick according to Song Huiyue's height to make her feel more relaxed.
Song Huiyue had secretly shed some painful tears about her injury, and had discouraged Yinxiao from killing many rats. Now standing on the deck, she felt very calm.
She asked Yin Xiao if she could go ashore. Yin Xiao looked at the shore carefully, and finally pointed to a gentler loess slope to Hou Er: "There."
Hou Er hurriedly swung the boat over and was about to lower the anchor when Song Huiyue stopped him.
Anchoring here would reveal their traces.
Yinxiao spotted the seemingly hard but actually soft loess, grabbed the cockpit with both hands, and threw it out with all his strength. The cockpit inserted into the loess silently, leaving behind a small half of his tail.
Hou Er's eyes lit up: "Why didn't I think of this method?"
He patted the silver sky excitedly, eager to try and use the power of the rafter to climb up in one fell swoop.
Song Huiyue smiled and said: "You try it first. You have practiced the light body technique, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Hou Er nodded immediately, rolled up his sleeves, took a deep breath, then jumped up, touching the bridge like a dragonfly touching water, then alternated his left and right feet, kicked on the bridge again, jumped up, and landed on the shore.
However, before my feet could stand firm, my feet sank, and even my shoes and feet sank into the loess. The loess was squeezed and immediately loosened, with pieces cracking and about to fall.
Without saying a word, Hou Er rolled somersault into the ravine and away from the shore.
The chunk of mud that was about to fall stopped and hung there dangerously.
Song Huiyue looked at Yinxiao: "Hurry, the boat is leaving!"
The ship has no one at the helm and is drifting with the current, gradually moving away from the bridge.
Yin Xiao squatted down, and the bone beads on the young man's back revealed its hard shape through the thin clothes.
Song Huiyue leaned over and lay on his back, holding a wooden stick in one hand and holding Yin Xiao's neck tightly with the other: "Let's go."
Yin Xiao stood up steadily, took a breath, jumped up, and stepped on the cockpit.
The cockpit sank instantly, sliding down for a finger's length, and the dirt fell down. Hou Er looked over and was so shocked that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.
Yinxiao's expression didn't change, and in the blink of an eye he used his strength to jump off the shore again, without stopping, and threw himself into the ravine.
The cockpit dropped into the water with a splash, carrying a large piece of soil with it, and floated away with the current.
The boat was also free and disappeared from the sight of the three people.
