The draft of this ship is not large, and the hull is also very small. When Xu Zizhen followed He Liangliang to the bottom of the cabin, he was stunned. The space in the cabin was depressing, the air was turbid, and the damp deck was only paved with one layer.
With thin straw, dozens of young women were tied up hand and foot, and they were crammed haphazardly into the small cabin.
A strong young man like Xu Zizhen felt difficulty breathing in the cabin, and even felt dizzy for a long time, let alone these delicate girls. Moreover, it took half a month to enter the sea from Suzhou and then go north. I am afraid there are many women here.
I will not be able to bear this sin and my fragrance will fade away.
Some of these young women were still unconscious, but many of them had already woken up, but their mouths were blocked and they could not speak. When they were panicking, they suddenly saw a naked man covered in blood rushing down.
They were so frightened that they turned pale and struggled to huddle together.
"Damn, these bastards!" Xu Zizhen punched the hatch next to him with a loud bang, breaking a hole in the thick hatch.
He Liangliang asked in a low voice: "Brother, what should we do now? Send them back?"
"No, there will be big trouble if we send it back now." Xu Zizhen suppressed the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth, "Lower the sails and dock the ship first!"
Li Sheng, who was lying on the shore, saw the flames on the boat soaring into the sky from a distance, and vaguely saw someone fighting. He was already so anxious that his heart was scratching his heart. When he saw the three soldiers who jumped off the boat and fled to the shore in a panic, he couldn't let go.
The reason was that the anger that had been suppressed for a long time was finally released, and the three people were easily captured.
He Liangliang was born on the shore of Taihu Lake, and he was an expert in boating. He quickly parked the boat firmly on the shore. Xu Zizhen called Li Luoyan up. She, a girl, came forward and spent some time talking. Only then did he let him go.
The frightened women in the cabin felt a little relieved.
It was impossible to go back to the city for the time being. Fortunately, Master Jingde had already made preparations and asked Li Sheng to arrange these women to a courtyard not far behind the temple. Li Luoyan and Li Meng accompanied them to get some food and heat.
The water temporarily calmed their shock.
Xu Zizhen and Li Shenghe carried the three soldiers to a remote grove outside the temple. Apart from the dead Hu Sihai and the eight soldiers, there were only a few boatmen on the boat, and there was no one else at all.
It's hard to feel at ease without removing the culprit, which makes Xu Zizhen very unhappy.
The three soldiers were tied to the trees respectively, with gloomy eyes and silent expressions. Although they were frightened by the fire gourd before, they were serving as servants in front of the palace after all, and their arrogance could not tolerate them bowing to ordinary people like Xu Zizhen.
Xu Zizhen didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the point, and asked one of them: "Where is your master?"
The man glanced at him and said proudly: "If you understand me, let me go quickly, otherwise..."
Xu Zizhen slapped his mouth with a backhand, and asked again expressionlessly: "Where is your master?"
This palm was so powerful that half of the man's face suddenly swelled up. He turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, then turned around and glared at Xu Zizhen viciously.
Xu Zizhen sneered: "You're pretty good at it, okay, let me see how hard you can get."
He Liangliang had been waiting beside him, and Xu Zizhen took a gourd from his hand. Without saying a word, he opened the man's belt, stuffed the gourd in, and asked: "Last chance, where is your master? You
It's okay if you don't say anything." He took out a fire medium and blew out the flames, with a malicious smile on his lips, "You have seen this thing just now, if you don't say anything... Hey! I asked you to
Fly for a while!"
The man was immediately horrified. He had seen the power of this thing. The five companions on the boat were blown up by it, and their faces were covered with blood and flesh. They could not even recognize their biological parents. If this thing really exploded in his crotch... ...His face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted with a trembling voice: "How dare you!"
Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "You try?" He put the fire medium in his hand towards the mouth of the gourd.
"Stop! He is... in the left-behind residence." The man struggled desperately, as if he had used the last strength of his body to shout these words, and big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Xu Zizhen stopped, but did not stop: "Then who is your master? Prime Minister Wang?"
"No, it's...he's the prime minister's nephew. His surname is Shen and his given name is Zongwei."
"Shen Zongwei?" Xu Zizhen nodded. It seems that this boy is not lying. As a young prime minister, Wang Fu naturally cannot do such a thing easily. He thought for a while and asked, "You have gathered all the people. What's wrong with him? Still not leaving? What other immoral things are you planning to do?"
The man hesitated for a moment, and Xu Zizhen immediately approached the matchmaker again. He was so frightened that he immediately shouted: "Don't... don't do it! Mr. Shen was ordered by the Prime Minister to destroy Master Qi's spy in Jiangnan."
"Seventh Master?" Xu Zizhen frowned, "Who is the Seventh Master?"
The man had a frown on his face, but he still had not half of the arrogance he had before. He begged, "I really can't say this, otherwise I'm afraid I'd rather be bombed to death."
Xu Zizhen didn't ask further questions. His target now was Shen Zongwei. As for the Seventh Master's spy, I was afraid it was just another secret fight among their senior officials. He was too lazy to care about it, and he didn't have the ability to care about it.
Li Sheng temporarily locked up these people. Xu Zizhen cleaned up the stab wounds on his body, changed into a new set of clean clothes, and went straight to Master Jingde's room.
Xu Zizhen got straight to the point: "Master, is there any way you can help me get back to the city?"
Master Jingde did not seem to be surprised, but clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, if Mr. Xu goes back to the city again, I'm afraid he will never come out again."
Xu Zizhen smiled and said: "There must be an explanation for this matter. From the way you are acting, Master, you probably already know that I must go back, right?"
Jingde also smiled: "Young master is a good person and a celestial phenomenon. This poor monk is just talking too much. Is there any way to go back to the city... How did you get out, so you will go back the same way."
Xu Zizhen was shocked and shouted: "Isn't it right? You want me to pretend to be a woman again?"
Jingde shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, what the poor monk means is to disguise himself..." He took out a razor and looked at Xu Zizhen with a smile.
The sky was getting brighter, and the closed city gates opened again. The fishmongers and vegetable vendors who had been waiting for a long time lined up in an orderly manner to enter the city. Among the people entering the city, there was a young monk with a low eyebrow, and it was Xu Zizhen. .
The six city gates strictly checked people leaving the city in order to arrest Xu Zizhen, but entering the city was relatively easy. The officers and soldiers let Xu Zizhen in without even looking at him, and murmured in a low voice: "Morning I met a monk later and met a Taoist priest later. I lost money in gambling and lost my pants. It’s really unlucky. I planned to play some tricks at night..."
…
In the inner hall of the left-behind mansion, the noble young master, Shen Zongwei, the nephew of the young prime minister Wang Fu, sat lazily on the table, slowly turned the jade ring on his thumb, and said lightly: "Master Kong, what do you think of Qi Ye's eyeliner?" Is that Liuli?"
Kong Qilin, who was sitting down, immediately stood up and replied: "Sir, this is true, my subordinates have hidden secrets hidden in the world, and this news was just discovered."
"Oh?" Shen Zongwei raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said with great interest, "I heard that the man with the red glaze, color, and art has the red crown from Jiangnan. I really want to meet him."
Kong Qilin laughed dryly in apology and asked, "What do you mean, Master?"
Shen Zongwei smiled lightly: "Master Kong, if you have some free time, how about you accompany me for a walk?"
