son-in-law

Chapter 367
For half a day, Zhou Pei had been thinking about the birth date of the ship that left early.She had previously peeked at the second floor of Li Shishi's yard to see who was coming to the brothel, but after finding out that there was nothing unsightly, she went out of the yard, wandered around, and then saw Su Yanping who came to summon him.

In the past few days, she has met Su Wenyu and Su Yanping. She knows that they are the "own people" sent by the Su family to practice with Ning Yi. Regarding the birthday outline, they naturally let them learn from Wen Renbuer up.Seeing him rushing to look for Ning Yi, he knew that something was wrong, so he quickly stopped him and asked, this matter is not a big secret, not to mention that Su Yanping knew the identity of the girl, after speaking, Zhou Pei called out : "Follow me." He came to Ning Yi excitedly, only to find that Su Yanping couldn't keep up.

It turns out that although the environment in Xiyuan is not complicated, there are quite a lot of people these few days. Zhou Pei ran around excitedly inside, no one dared to stop him, but Su Yanping accidentally knocked a son of an official to the ground .At this time, most of the men in Xiyuan were accompanied by women. This time he lost face, the man stopped Su Yanping, and Zhou Pei ran away excitedly, but he didn't find it. When Ning Yi and others drove out, Zhou Pei followed the original road Returning, he glared at the man looking for trouble, and ran away in a desperate manner.After some questioning, Zhou Peicai probably knew what happened.

The water bandits who fought in Hongze Lake this time totaled nearly a thousand people, and nearly [-] sailors participated in the battle on the official ship, accounting for about [-] people who went north with the ship. About three-fifths of the soldiers.Three hundred beats one thousand, originally it was a tough battle, but the water bandits came to rob money, attacked the main ship in the first time, and only later found out that they had been fooled.There were basically boxes filled with stones or gunpowder on the ship, followed by an explosion that spread throughout the ship.

The water bandits themselves are mobs, and this time they have put all their eggs in one basket to rob the birthday gang, and they are already under tremendous pressure.If it can be robbed, it will become famous and have the capital to develop.But seeing the ship being bombed and the sailors yelling "you are fooled" and sweeping in, the situation became completely one-sided.

This is not such a sophisticated strategy, the most important thing is to exchange more than 100 manor nurses, shop assistants and sailors who can be mobilized by Princess Chengguo's mansion.This time when Chen Jingui escorted the birthday party, the [-] soldiers he brought with him were still regular sailors after all, and even if they were not facing the Shangjin people or the Liao people, they still had internal combat effectiveness.The water bandits originally expected to face hundreds of troops at most, but they were wrongly estimated in number and found to be cheated, so they quickly lost their fighting spirit and turned into a one-sided harvest situation.

Before Su Yanping rushed back to report the news, it was said that many water bandits' boats had already been destroyed. Some water bandits jumped into the lake trying to escape, but were pulled over by fishing nets by army boats, and those who resisted were killed with a knife. In the heavy rain, Blood stained Huze Lake.

Ning Yi is not surprised that the battle will be won, but it is a little strange that someone really wants to play the birthday card.On the contrary, Zhou Pei listened with gusto, and remembered what she had been worrying about since yesterday. What she told Ning Yi was that those nurses and guys would not know how to fight in water. Although there are many people on board, it is actually meaningless nothing.She was in a hurry for this all morning, but she couldn't think of Ning Yi's simple exchange, and the matter was resolved.

If Chen Jingui wanted to find the young master, he had to have enough people on hand, but the sailors were not local to Xuyi, on the contrary, the nurses and staff were the best way to find people.

While excitedly discussing here, more news has also spread from the north, and many servants and followers of other families rushed to Xiyuan to report the victory over the water bandits on Hongze Lake.The atmosphere in the entire Xiyuan suddenly became lively. Although this matter has little to do with them, but being here, everyone feels as if they have participated in it.

Three hundred wins and one thousand, in the eyes of the people of the Wu Dynasty, who were in a mess in the north and Zheng Fangla in the south was still in a stalemate, it was indeed a great victory worthy of praise. When they talked about the strategy arranged by Vice General Chen, they talked about it and were very excited.He also said that if there were generals like Deputy General Chen in the north, it would not be possible to fight like this. It was all incompetent people who misled our country and so on.With such an evaluation, after this incident, Chen Jingui will probably be promoted.

Ning Yi and others separated from Li Shishi shortly after the news came, and when Xiyuan was full of turmoil, Li Shishi inevitably heard a lot of news.She usually associates with many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. When a group of people get together, they like to talk about current affairs. At this moment, she also knows that the impact of this matter will not be small.But I remembered that the Su family man and the girl just excitedly told Ning Yi when the incident happened... What does this matter have to do with him.After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out.

Ning Yi glanced at the man named Wang Xian from afar.

Among the crowd, this man was tall and handsome, and he couldn't help but think of a very beautiful man Yuan Jin'er said in the past who unfortunately went to Yangzhou later.This man's appearance is really beautiful to a certain extent. His beauty is neutral, not too handsome, nor feminine. He behaves neither humble nor overbearing, and responds appropriately.Several officials' children around him obviously regarded him as a confidant.

Maybe Yanqing...

Saying that his surname is Wang means he has the same surname as Li Shishi. Since Yan Qing is nicknamed the prodigal son, she must be very powerful in brothel affairs, and her handsomeness is justified. It happens to be the most admired look in this era. The ship goes north...

"Is it..."

On the carriage back, Ning Yi looked at the heavy rain outside and murmured.Zhou Pei was still intoxicated by the previous plan. Seeing Ning Yi speak, he poked his head over: "What, what? Teacher?"

"It's okay... Maybe I'm thinking too much..." Ning Yi said to himself, and then smiled, "After I go back, I want to change the ship... to the next one."

"what?"

****************
The news about the great battle on the lake in the north came in one after another from the afternoon to the evening.After the first big victory, the officers and soldiers started chasing the water bandits along the escape route, and wanted to catch them all at once. This was Chen Jingui's order. If it was the water bandits who kidnapped the young master, they could only kill them in this way. , to be able to save people.

As for the bandits captured after the first battle, another team of soldiers was sent to escort them back, and at night, they arrived in Xuyi.Xuyi County didn't dare to take credit for this incident, but Chen Jingui would naturally benefit the other party a bit.As for the ship that was blown up, it was nothing in front of such a big victory.

The wreckage of the boat is still floating on the lake, and fishing lanterns are floating on the lake, salvaging corpses that can be used as evidence of credit, and the night is getting darker and darker due to the rain.In an inn not far from Hongze Lake, there were many merchants coming and going. In one of the rooms, Zhu Wu and others looked at the faint fishing fire in the distance through the window. The inn was full of chatter After a while, a man in a robe with a new bandage on his arm came in from the door, and he turned his head: "Brother Zhang, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a small injury. Seeing that it was me, Qin Weihong resisted fiercely. In addition, the government was well prepared this time. I was not easy to dodge when a row of fishing nets were caught. There were officers and soldiers on the shore, so I I swam towards the middle of the lake for a while, and only dared to come back after going around in a circle."

"Have you killed most of the people who should be killed?"

Zhu Wu asked this question, and someone laughed: "Brother Zhang Shun is nicknamed Lang Li Bai Tiao, who can escape the person who is about to be killed in the water, not to mention that even if he didn't kill him completely, what can the government ask... ..."

Zhang Shundao: "A few were shot to death on the boat by the officers and soldiers. I don't know exactly."

Zhu Wu frowned: "Although clues have been arranged for the government to look into the wrong place, but...it seems that there are people who are good at strategic planning over there, and I am afraid that they will be spotted."

A person next to him said: "Qin Weihong only knows about us, but I don't think it's possible to cover it all up. But even if they know that there are a few remnants of Fang La who are behind it, how much energy do they have to investigate. On the contrary, Zhu’s elder brother said that he is good at planning, I think it’s quite simple. Qin Weihong’s side is always bullying and fearing hard. He sent [-] sailors to accompany him, which is the only trick he played. ..."

Zhu Wu frowned, then shook his head with a smile: "It's not easy, because we didn't send anyone to inquire about the information because we were afraid of abusing others. Qin Weihong and the others were worried, and they arranged a secret production in the troupe to perform on the pier Yes. I heard that the lieutenant general had a quarrel with the steward there, and there was a lot of trouble. Later, Qin Weihong was deceived because of this. He arranged the gunpowder on the big ship, and he would rather let the other party blow up the ship at the first time. I feel like I have nothing to lose, everything that should be arranged and calculated, but this is not the most important..."

He paused: "The most important thing is that Vice General Chen was originally unwilling to support this matter. This is true. He can't bear the consequences of that young master's accident. If he is asked to let go, it is He wants to kill his family. People in the government are most afraid of doing things. Everyone has their own responsibilities. People are twisted in one direction, this is where he is most powerful. In fact, it is not difficult to fight a war. You can find a military book that has done all aspects, and just press it. I originally wanted to see them restrain each other. This battle Even if they could win, it would be a miserable victory. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they were unanimous to the outside world. This person's methods are not simple, and a good fighter has no great achievements..."

Hearing what he said, everyone was silent for a moment, Zhang Shun smiled and said: "If this person is really so powerful, we might as well think of a way to force him to go up the mountain to earn a fortune from him..."

"I don't know who it is yet."

"I'll find out when Xiao Yi finds out, let's take a look at that time..."

"Could it be that Chen Jingui planned it secretly? He convinced himself that there would be no problem."

After everyone talked for a while, Zhu Wu shook his head: "Maybe it's not that big. We have inquired about Chen Jingui's temperament before... However, this person can coordinate the relationship between the two parties, and can directly make the decision to blow up the ship. In my opinion, This person must have a detached status, and he is either rich or noble. I am afraid that among the rich men on board, there are some powerful people who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. I'm always uneasy about such a person..."
