Xu Wei nodded his head heavily, unfolded the two Zhejiang coastal defense maps at hand, and asked Lu Yi to take a look.
"Master Lu should know that Japanese pirates have appeared along the coast from time to time in 1989, but there has been no major trouble. The Japanese riot has only intensified in recent years, because there are two people behind the Japanese riot. One of them is Xu Hai, who was subdued by our tactics last year and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water; the other is Wang Zhi."
"Wang Zhi is different from Xu Hai. He has been at sea for many years and is respected as an old ship owner. He has merged dozens of maritime forces for his use." Xu Wei pointed his finger at several places on the map, "Among these forces, Dongyang People are the main ones, but there are also coastal fishermen, Spaniards, and Portuguese. Wang Zhi can still make them obedient for one day, but once Wang Zhi is killed, they will lose control and it will be even more troublesome.”
"I have studied with the governor for a long time, and we can only design to lure Wang straight to the shore, and then control it. With this, we can control the sea power and put down the Japanese rebellion. As a result... "
Having said this, Xu Wei sighed, and then continued: "When the big event is about to be completed, the censor Wang Bengu slammed a stick horizontally and arrested Wang Zhi in prison. You should know what happened next, Lord Lu."
Afterwards, there was a lot of uproar, and Lu Yi naturally knew: Wang Zhi was arrested, and there were shouts of killing in the court. Hu Zongxian alone asked not to kill Wang Zhi, let him serve the court and restrain the Japanese pirates, but unfortunately no one agreed. The DPRK and China have accused Hu Zongxian of indulging criminals, and there must be an inside story. Because of this, Lu Yi was ordered to investigate in Zhejiang and Zhejiang.
At this time, I recalled what Wang Zhi said before his death - "It's okay to kill me alone, but it's just the two people of Zhejiang who suffer. After I die, this place will be in chaos for ten years!"
Things corresponded one by one, the truth was already in front of Lu Yi, he knew very well that Hu Zongxian did not lie.
"Wang Zhi's request to send Xia Zheng to Mao Haifeng?" Lu Yi asked.
Speaking of Xia Zheng, he was poking at Hu Zongxian's sore spot. He closed his eyes and nodded helplessly: "... I killed this child."
Xu Wei said ruthlessly: "Wang Zhi is very suspicious. The governor has spent all his efforts to invite him ashore all these years, and it is not only Xia Zheng who has been damaged. If it weren't for that stupid Wang Bengu, how could he be here! Destroyed several years of hard work by the Governor."
Lu Yi looked down at the coastal defense map, and was silent for a moment, then said, "I want to take a walk in the army, I wonder if it's convenient."
Hu Zongxian was still speculating about his intentions, but Xu Wei already understood.
"Master Lu wants to learn more about the situation of Japanese pirates, and then go to the court?" Xu Wei said.
"That's right. Although Governor Hu has spent several years working hard for Wang Zhi, if there is no strong evidence, I am afraid that people in the court will still misunderstand the Governor." Lu Yi said, "Not to mention that the Holy One must also submit a detailed report. ."
Hu Zongxian nodded and said: "It's not difficult. My subordinate Yu Dayou is currently confronting Mao Haifeng in Cengang. If you are interested, you can go to Cengang for a walk. When do you want to leave?"
"The sooner the better."
"Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to take you there."
"That's very good, thank you Governor."
Hu Zongxian was still worried: "It's rare for Yanyuan to do things fairly, and Hu is very grateful, but what I worry about is... In the capital, those officials may not stop. I have no one to help me in the court. people's words."
Lu Yi smiled slightly: "The governor's words are bad. If the sage believed those people, he would not have asked me to come and go."
"The so-called solitary bird is hard to sing, and there is no one in this dynasty. After all, it is not a long-term strategy."
Lu Yi smiled but not: "Captain, what do you mean?"
"Where is Mr. Yan Songyan..."
Hu Zongxian was only halfway through speaking when Lu Yi stopped him. He took out a portrait from his arms and unfolded it for Hu Zongxian to see.
"Does the Governor recognize this person?"
"Luo Wenlong!"
Hu Zongxian recognized this person at once.
"Is he a subordinate of the Governor?"
"He's a traitor. He used to help me get close to Xu Hai, but then he actually went with the Japanese pirates." Hu Zongxian said fiercely, "This person holds a grudge against me, I haven't heard from him for a long time, how could you have His picture?"
Luo Wenlong's identity was completely within Lu Yi's expectations. Since Yan Shifan wants to deal with Hu Zongxian, he must find someone who is very familiar with Hu Zongxian. Whether it is collecting evidence or making perjury, he can act cheaply.
"As far as I know, this person is with Yan Shifan now." Lu Yi stared at him.
Hu Zongxian was stunned for a long time, and when he woke up like a dream, he looked like a catastrophe was imminent: "He is by Yan Shifan's side, could it be that he provoked Yan Shifan to rectify me? What kind of power is the Yan family, do I have nowhere to go? "
"Don't forget the governor, no matter how powerful the Yan family is, the saints have the final say in this world." Lu Yi kindly reminded him.
Hu Zongxian heard his words: "What do you mean by virtuous brother?"
Lu Yi said with a smile: "The Governor might as well think about it, maybe there will be a turning point... By the way, the two girls sent by the Governor a few days ago, and a few boxes of items, Yan Yuan has not touched it, and people let people in his spare time. Come and carry it back. At this moment, people take advantage of the loopholes and gossip is not good. "
In the past, Hu Zongxian was both a beauty and a gift, so he wanted to bribe Lu Yi and let him say a few words of kindness for him in Zhezi, but now it seems that if this matter is true, Lu Yi will doubt the acceptance. Bribery, and he himself will only end up worse, simply shooting himself in the foot. Hu Zongxian sighed, "I'll send someone to do this right away."
"Thank you for your understanding, Yan Yuan will leave first!" Lu Yi handed farewell to Hu Zongxian and turned to leave.
Xu Wei said to Hu Zongxian, "I'll send one to Lord Lu."
After all, he quickly caught up with Lu Yi.
Respecting Xu Wei in his heart, Lu Yi slowed down and walked slowly with him.
"By the way, the two girls sent by the governor a few days ago, and a few boxes of things, it's better for you to have someone take them back," Lu Yi said.
Xu Wei nodded: "What I said is that it's embarrassing for Lord Lu."
"Yan Yuan is curious. When my father asked him to come out, he refused. Why did Dudu Hu invite him and he agreed?" Lu Yi asked Xu Wei.
Xu Wei said: "I am from Shaoxing, and the two Zhejiang and Japanese pirates are rampant, how can I stand by and watch."
Lu Yi smiled: "Mr. Gao Yi, not fame and fortune, Yan Yuan admires it."
"The governor has been in the two Zhejiang provinces for many years, and has trained troops and horses against the Japanese pirates. There are quite a few capable men under him." Xu Wei said, "What I am worried about is not just the governor's black gauze hat, but once the governors of the two Zhejiang provinces are replaced, the army will inevitably become larger. Exchange blood is equivalent to years of hard work. If this is the case, in what year and month can the Japanese rebellion be pacified."
He stopped, turned to Lu Yi, and gave a deep salute. Lu Yi was busy to help him, but he didn't move.
"The ceremony of Chief Wen is not for the governor alone, but for the people of the two Zhejiang provinces."
"Yanyuan understands that he must do his best."
Lu Yi helped him up and answered in a deep voice.
**************************************************** ****************
After Mrs. Shen's two injections, A Rui's injury has improved significantly. Although he is still unable to walk on the ground, he is able to eat with a spoon by himself, saving Cen Shou a lot of trouble.
On this day, Mrs. Shen gave him an injection as usual, packed the medical bag and came out, and called this summer to change the medicine.
"Why is this medicine different today?" Jin Xia asked in surprise.
Mrs. Shen applied the medicine and carefully bandaged her with a cloth: "I added some medicine in it, and it will not be easy to leave scars when it heals."
"Auntie is the best for me!" Jin Xia laughed.
Uncle Beg came over, yawned and said, "That's right, she drove me out of the city to collect medicine before dawn, and after a lot of travel, I finally found it."
"Is it the medicine you picked now?!" This summer, I didn't expect Mrs. Shen to let Uncle Beg pick it up, and she couldn't help being flattered, "Auntie, don't be so troublesome, my injury is not on my face, and no one can see the scar. fine."
Mrs. Shen frowned and said, "You are a girl's family, and you can't have scars anywhere. By the way, this is... a mosquito bite on your hand?"
This summer, he scratched carelessly: "Well, I especially attract mosquitoes. As long as there is me in this house, it is more effective than smoking wormwood. People in our yamen like to stay with me in summer."
Listening to her words, Mrs. Shen smiled wistfully, her eyes were full of water, and she said in a low voice, "...just like my elder sister..."
"Huh? Like who?" Jin Xia asked curiously.
Realizing her gaffe, Mrs. Shen calmed down and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I've encountered this before, go back and get some medicine, get a sachet and hang it on your body, and give you some concoction that is easy to apply. "
"Is it troublesome?"
"No trouble."
Mrs. Shen got up, turned her back, wiped the corners of her eyes, and left quickly.
Sitting still this summer, looking at Mrs. Shen's back, she sighed at Uncle Beggar: "Uncle, my aunt is really a bodhisattva. I was only bitten by mosquitoes a few times, and she was so sad!"
Uncle Beg also thought it was a bit strange: "I'll go to collect the medicine for you before dawn, steam and grind it when you get it back, and then dispense the medicine. You've been tossing around for a while, but you haven't been so concerned about me. You say you're so little. hurt, so what?"
"Uncle, aren't you jealous?" Jin Xia looked at him suspiciously.
"Yeah, I'm just jealous." Uncle Beg admitted frankly, "She has been around you all day, changing and dispensing medicines for you. Wait for her to be free. I want to accompany her to stroll around the West Lake, but she misses her. I want to buy fabrics, saying that you don’t look like a girl’s home all day long, that’s not good, and that I want to make you a few sets of clothes…”
This summer, he was tongue-tied: "She, she wants to make clothes for me?!"
"Do you think she's only thinking about you right now?" Uncle Beg was a little aggrieved, "I broke my boot, and she didn't even notice it."
"It's okay, I'll ask Dayang to help you mend your boots."
This summer, while comforting him, he was muttering in his heart, and suddenly he heard Cen Fu's voice outside, knowing that Lu Yi was back, and hurriedly went out to find him. Leaving Uncle Beg alone, he shook his head and sighed, "It's not bad that girls are said to be outgoing."
Lu Yi is instructing Cen Fu: "I'm going to Cen Gang early tomorrow morning. You prepare the luggage for me, so the next time I go to the army, the less luggage, the better."
"Why did Hu Zongxian let you go to the army?"
This summer, he jumped out with a lame leg and asked in surprise.
"I brought it up. It is convenient for me to go to the army to learn more about the situation of Japanese pirates along the coast." Lu Yi replied.
Cen Shou also greeted him: "Eldest son, if you are going to the army, I will go with you."
"No, there is no other place in the army. I only take Cen Fu alone. Tomorrow, you will escort Miss Chunyu to Xinhe City to worship the ancestors." Lu Yi ordered.
This summer hurriedly asked: "Where are Dayang and I?"
"You take the official road to Xinhe City. After a while, I will meet you in the past." After Lu Yi said, he went back to his room to change clothes.
The crowd dispersed, still frowning on the spot this summer, Uncle Beg came over to tease her: "Girl, can't bear it?"
"Reluctant to what?" She looked at him inexplicably.
"I can't bear to be my good grandson."
This summer, he rolled his eyes at him, ignored it, and hopped into Lu Yi's room.
