Lord of the House

Lin Fu stepped out of the cottage and was about to welcome Sun Jingxuan ashore to make amends and then go to the prison island to pick up his daughter. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he thought of a strange place, and turned to ask Su Mei, "Sun Jingxuan has a handwritten letter from Master Fu, He sent someone to deliver the letter on horseback last night, I will naturally release him to make amends, why did he make such a big fight, there are almost two thousand congregations of the Xihe Association outside the river bank?"

"I don't know why. I received someone from Sun Jingxuan asking for mercy early in the morning in Baiyuan, so I hurried out of the city and hadn't met Sun Jingxuan yet." Su Mei said, "Sun Jingxuan has no children, and Du Wanniang is the only one. Female, Wan Niang's boudoir name is Wen Wan, I have only met her twice, she is a woman with a strong personality..."

Even if you have a strong personality, you can't stab someone with a knife, and thankfully you didn't hurt Sun Wenwan's vitals, and said, "Then I'll have someone bring Wan Niang from Prison Island first."

At this time, Zhao Qinmin walked in and saw Su Mei sitting in the front hall of the cottage. He was slightly startled, and asked Lin Fu, "What's going on outside the river bank, why are there so many ships? Do you want to send someone to inform the garrison?" Last night There was an assassin at the mouth of the river. He didn't have the courage to walk out of the surrounding room, and no one came to tell him the reason. He didn't see any movement until dawn, and he didn't have the face to continue hiding in the surrounding room. He ran to the river bank to take a look, and was shocked He jumped and asked others who said he didn't know what to do, so he could only run to find Lin Fu.

"It's not a big deal. Last night someone took a boat to the estuary for a walk. It was just a nail sent by which company. Who knows it was a misunderstanding. Tosu everyone over there came to intercede, and I'll let them go," Lin Bie said perfunctorily. "Hekou is also working normally. Don't be affected. You met Cao Zi'ang, the head of the ward, and told him the same."

Zhao Qinmin was puzzled, thinking that since it was a matter that could be solved by human favor, why did the other party make such a big commotion? With so many boats gathered, Jiangning Water Camp must be alert. But when Lin Fu said this, he couldn't ask him face to face, so he left the cottage and went to find the leader of the refugees first, and then to Cao Zi'ang, who recommended him to be the chief, and told him Lin Fu's words.

When Cao Ziang saw Su Mei came to look for Lin Fu, he roughly guessed that Su Mei came to ask for a letter. With a coordinator, conflicts would be less likely to occur. Hearing Zhao Qinmin's message, he and Lin Jingzhong let both sides here first. Going to work normally, the vigilance on the river bank will not be withdrawn for the time being, and Master Loach will temporarily take someone to guard the Dongyang ship and not anchor.

Lin Fu wrote the warrant in the front hall and handed it to the guard outside the door to the military guard to bring people to prison island. There was no one else in the front hall. Lin Fu invited the fourth lady to sit too, Liu Yueer made tea and brought it, and Su Mei was busy standing. He got up and bowed to her: "Xiao Man has a stubborn temper, Miss Tuoliu took care of it..."

"She is so much younger than me, so I should take care of her..." Liu Yue'er smiled sweetly, although she knew about Changshan Island long ago, she was only familiar with the fourth lady who came to report from Chang Feiqiang. It was the first time she saw Su Mei's face. She really felt that she was beautiful and graceful, which made people jealous and jealous, and she couldn't guess why Su Mei kept staying in the fan tower. Is it really like what outsiders say? It is said that Su Mei has a deeper affection for Chen Mingche, the first talent in the southeast?

Counting the time, Sun Jingxuan's daughter should take it over quickly. Lin Fu stood up and said to Su Mei, "You sit here for a while, and I'll pick you up at the pier. This time it's a big offense." Afraid that Su Mei was worried, he added He said, "The person should not have been seriously injured, but she also suffered some injuries. I specially ordered to give her medicine after she was sent to the prison island, just because she did not look like an assassin; I was too lazy to interrogate last night, I would have known the interrogation earlier... "..." Lin Fu also regretted Mo Die, thinking that Fu Qinghe could talk about the matchmaking's old friend, Sun Jingxuan and Xihehui should be worthy of catching up and making friends, he is not greedy for the beauty of the Sun family's women, even if he glanced twice last night , The woman of the Sun family is indeed beautiful, but with a dirty face, she is even more beautiful than Liu Yue'er and Xiao Man.

Xiao Man also stood up and said, "I'll go with you..."

Lin Bie thought that Xiaoman was his personal maid, and let her accompany him in the estuary, so that she would not get suffocated, so she would go with him to the estuary to pick up people. Walking out the door, Xiaoman whispered next to Lin Bing's body: "Sister Wanniang, I have seen it before. Who told me to just listen to Sister Yue'er and stay in the house?"

Dareqing came from schadenfreude to watch the fun. Yesterday, he boasted to her that there was a good show to watch today, but Lin Bie didn't expect a good show to happen to him.

Prison Island sent a boat over. The boat had no shelter. Standing on the embankment, Lin Bian saw Sun Wenwan tied firmly on a simple stretcher, her hair was disheveled, her left arm was wounded, and the key was that her left leg was still stabbed. The plaster cast, Lin Fu secretly complained, but Sun Wenwan punched him on the river bank last night and injured his leg, and the injury on his arm may not be light. There was a wife in the women's prison, and Lin Fu didn't take any extra care. She thought that Sun Wenwan might not suffer any grievances, and she might not have good fruit to eat. Lin Fu was busy with Xiaoman going down the river bank, and Xiaoman also whispered: "You How can you be so cruel, such a beautiful girl, Sister Wanniang?"

"My intestines are regretful now. Would you like to take a piece out and show it to you? Hurry up and say a few more good things to me..." Lin Bie begged Xiaoman in a low voice.

"How can I say good things for you?" Xiaoman scolded with a smile. She didn't have any deep contact with Sun Wenwan, and Lin Bie's indifference to other beautiful girls was in line with her care.

Lin Fu walked to the pier and waited for the boat to approach. Looking at Sun Wenwan, who was spitting fire in her eyes tied to a simple stretcher, he smirked: "Miss Sun, I really misunderstood last night, I'm here to apologize to you... You go to the thatched cottage first. Rest, I will send someone to invite Lingzun so that I can make amends." Lin Fu gave Xiaoman a wink, and asked Xiaoman to bring Sun Wenwan to the cottage first, where Su Mei was there and asked Su Mei to give Sun Wenwan loosened the tie, lest Sun Wenwan use a knife to stab him here again.

Lin Fu went around the river bank to the pier on the river bank. The ships of the Xihehui were all outside the boundary, and they did not dare to cross the Thunder Pond overnight. On the way, Cao Zi'ang and Lin Jingzhong came to face each other, and Lin Fu had the opportunity to explain to them: "It's a misunderstanding, Master Fu and Sun Jingxuan of the Xihehui are old friends, and they exchange letters. It was Sun Jingxuan's only daughter who caused trouble last night, and her arms and legs were injured. Injury, I will personally disembark to pick up Sun Jingxuan to apologize, you can do your own work..."

"Will it be dangerous?" Lin Jingzhong worriedly asked.

Lin Fu smiled and asked, "What danger could there be?" Ge Cunxin motioned to the loach master to dock the Dongyang to pick him up on the ship.

Now to guard against Zhao Qinmin's eyes, Cao Zi'ang and Lin Jingzhong dispersed, and also withdrew the dark sentry.

Lin Fu boarded the Dongyang, explained the matter to Master Loach, and set sail for the Xihehui fleet.

After all, the vast majority of the congregation of the Xihe Society are poor boatmen. According to the law, each boat that transports grain can carry private goods for sale in a certain proportion from the north to the south, and the boat can be used privately during the non-water transport period. The source of income, but the various exploitations to be dealt with along the way are actually higher than the normal business tax, and the shipwrecks and waterway delays on the way have to be paid by the river gang itself. In fact, the financial resources of the general river gang forces are even comparable to ordinary business names Compare.

The Wu Peng grain boats that Lin Fu saw in front of him were loaded with 200 stone of rice grain. There were as many as 200 boats in the Xihe River. They were still owned by the government in name. In normal years, they would also be allocated 8% of the new boats. Retire old ships. Based on this, the depreciation period of each ship is about 12 years, and then the special bank for water ships allocated by the Ministry of Household to each shipyard is difficult to fully build the ship, and it is difficult to say that a ship can last for 12 years of high-intensity sailing. , to replace the old boat in advance will have to pay for the river to help itself. A large number of shipwrecks and capsizes occur in Zhucao River every year, and the loss of shipwrecks is second. If a shipwreck blocks the river channel in the shallow and narrow Xingcao River, it will be a life-threatening situation. You must spend money to hire people to salvage the sunken ship to clear the river channel, delaying your own and Others' water transportation deadlines will also be held accountable. Almost every few years, the forces of the River Gang disintegrate, and the leaders of the guild are indicted by the government. Every few years, new forces of the River Gang rise to be recognized by the government. It seems to be the law to be eliminated once every few decades, but if it is not a big deal, The official inquiries will not be too harsh.

The Xihe Society has established itself in Jiangning until Sun Jingxuan is the fourth generation, and it is a very important branch of the Jiangning River Gang. They all had sharpened bamboo guns in their hands. The government will severely crack down on ordinary party gang organizations, but the water transportation situation is special, and there is no river gang. The government organizes its own personnel to transport six million more rice grains to Yanjing, thousands of miles away, and the cost will be high. amazing. If they can have food to eat, most people will not take the risk to rebel. Although the existence of the River Gang forces is a certain threat, especially the Emperor Gaozu built his country with the help of the River Gang forces~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But since this dynasty, The newly emerging river gang forces have not caused particularly great harm.

"Dare to ask Sun Jingxuan which boat Sun Huishou is on, Jiangdao Prisoner Lin Fu is here to make amends to Sun Huishou, Miss Su Mei has explained the misunderstanding clearly, it is all Lin Fu's reckless actions, and she has already been taken away from Miss Sun. The female prisoner took it back to the river mouth and asked Sun Huishou to go there, so that Lin Fu could make amends again..." Lin Fu stood at the bow of the boat and asked Xihehui in a loud voice.

"Don't dare, Master Lin is serious, the little girl is arrogant and willful, and she is unreasonable. She collided with the adults and should be punished. I just hope that Master Lin Nian Jingxuan is also serving the court and can give Jingxuan a chance to atone for the little girl," a The slightly larger brig did not raise the sails, but someone at the stern swayed the boat and drove the boat forward for a little while. A middle-aged man at the bow saluted with fists clasped in sincerity, "As long as Lord Lin is lenient with the little girl, whatever Lord Lin wants to punish Jing Xuan will do. ?"

Lin Fu felt strange, didn't Sun Jingxuan read Fu Qinghe's letter to him? Sun Jingxuan's stance is obviously a threatening gesture. No matter how soft-spoken he is, he is still soft-hearted in the end. The last sentence makes it clear that the fortress can atone for his sins. He sighed softly: "It's too hard to extort Jing'er from Dongcheng." Now, Jiang Ning has a little power, but it is not enough to fight against Gu Wuchen's power.

Lin Fu could only continue to lower his stance and said, "Sun Hui's first words are serious. Miss Sun is not at fault. If you say something wrong, I'm still oversight at night..." Seeing Sun Jingxuan's increasing panic, he confirmed that he did not see Fu Qinghe's letter. Su Mei was not going to lie to herself, and it became even more strange in her heart. She only asked Sun Jingxuan to speak at the mouth of the river, and did not mention Sun Wenwan's injury for the time being.
