Chapter 105
The raging fire, like a fire lotus flower blooming on Taihu Lake, burned the deepest darkness in Suzhou County.

A water thief boat couldn't dodge in time, was hit by the fire boat, and fell into the sea of ​​fire together.

Countless fire men jumped off the side of the boat, and there were bursts of wailing echoed on Taihu Lake.

The other water pirates' ships scattered and fled. The large warship Zhao Hao was in now was different from the burning fire ship.This is an elite warship brought by the Huainan Palace. The sailors on the warship are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, and Dou Wei is even more of a veteran.

At this time, the warship rushed forward with noise, taking advantage of the situation to hide and kill, and with the help of the strong northeast wind, it caught up with a small sailboat abruptly.The big boat first suppressed it with a rain of arrows, then turned it over with one end, and finally fired all kinds of arrows, and the lake surface was immediately stained red with blood.

Jiao Chuang had never seen such ferocious officers and soldiers before. He did not dare to engage in battle and fled in confusion with the remaining ships.

Dou Wei was mature and prudent, and ordered to return when he saw that he could not catch up.He still understands the reason why the poor should not chase after them.

On the surface of the lake, the two fire boats were still burning.

Standing beside Zhao Hao, Lu Yuan could see the flames jumping in his eyes and Zhao Hao's stern face.

Is this still the little overlord of the East China Sea, Gai Ligai?
"Brother Lu."

"Ok?"

"Do me a favor, find some monks and priests to do a ritual after dawn, just outside the Xu Gate of Suzhou City."

"Here, where can I find a monk or a Taoist priest in a hurry? Can I hire a beautiful young lady?"

"Okay. Maybe they'll like watching it more."

After Zhao Hao finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the shadows.

...........................................
At dawn, when Director Yin Daosheng of the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau woke up from a hangover, his subordinates reported a shocking news to him.

"Prefect Pei and General Cao led the navy to attack the water thieves in Taihu Lake in the middle of the night?" Yin Daosheng lashed out at his subordinates, "Do you have the fucking brains to dare to spread such news? Prefect Pei is full Are you going to fight the Taihu water thief? He clearly..."

Yin Daosheng was stunned halfway through his words.

"You just said, who else is there besides Pei She and Cao Hua?"

"There are also Fan Tongjuan and Fan County Magistrate..."

Yin Daosheng swallowed with difficulty, last night he saw these people get on the boat with his own eyes.

It is said that they had a fierce battle last night, Yin Daosheng believed, but the target of the fierce battle should be the little ladies in Chunfenglou?
At this moment, another subordinate came to report: "Director, the Crown Prince sent someone to invite you to attend the ritual ceremony outside Xumen."

"A legal matter?"

"Yes, the prince said that he wanted to pay homage to the souls of the dead."

Yin Daosheng stumbled out of his clothes on the boat and rushed outside Xumen.

I saw Wang Shizi dressed in black and leading a large group of white-clothed women, who were offering incense to the incense table set up under the city wall.

The women in white behind him danced solemnly.

They also sang the folk songs of ancient Wu and Yue, the melody was melodious and sad, which moved people to tears.

Many people didn't know what was going on and stopped to watch.

Is this paying homage to Prefect Pei and the others?

Yin Daosheng was in a daze when Lu Yuan saw him.

Lu Yuan waved at him: "Hey, brother Yin, come quickly."

Yin Daosheng tiptoed over and said softly, "Ambassador Lu, what is your son singing?"

Lu Yuan pointed to a green-robed official with a white belt not far away and said, "Guess who he is?"

Yin Daosheng looked along Lu Yuan's direction, only to see a guy with a handsome appearance but a wretched temperament, who looked a little familiar.But his official uniform is more familiar.

"Can't you recognize him? This is Liu Xunxing, Liu Xuncheng envoy!"

"What?! Didn't Ambassador Liu get murdered by water thieves?" Yin Daosheng thought that this little official is much more handsome than Ambassador Liu Xuncheng, so you think I'm blind.

"Hey! In fact, Liu Xuncheng envoy was just captured by water thieves, and he didn't die at all. Thanks to Prefect Pei and the others who fought desperately last night, they rescued Liu Xuncheng envoy from the thief's nest."

"Then why is he so handsome?"

Lu Yuan said mysteriously: "It is said that Liu Xuncheng envoy would rather die than surrender when he was in the thief's lair. He went on a hunger strike to protest. After a few days, he was so hungry that even his appearance changed."

Yin Daosheng was dumbfounded and thought to himself, this is okay, Ambassador Lu is better at talking nonsense than I am, Lao Yin.

But then, a trace of coolness rushed from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai.

Director Yin did not participate in the matter of colluding with water thieves to kill good men and pretend to be meritorious. It doesn't mean he doesn't know about it.

Director Yin has been in Suzhou for many years, so he knows exactly who Pei She is.I also know that Liu Xuncheng envoy was probably dropped by Pei Sheyin.Seeing Shizi's strange reaction, could it be that he already knew the truth of the matter?

Director Yin couldn't help swallowing when he thought of those people who died strangely yesterday.Many of the masterminds he suspected of killing the good and pretending to be meritorious are all dead.

A few days ago, when Peishe wrote the meritorious memorial, I, Lao Yin, also signed it. Would the prince think that I also participated?
"Yin Daosheng, look into my eyes, let's have a heart-to-heart talk."

Director Yin and Lu Yuan looked at each other, and they were caught on the spot.

After Lu Yuan asked a few questions, he confirmed that he had nothing to do with the tragedy.

"Hey, don't say I didn't remind you." Lu Yuan said softly, "The Crown Prince needs a head to be used as a sacrifice if he wants to redeem the souls of the dead."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he circled Director Yin and patted him on the neck.

Yin Daosheng was sweating: "Brother, you can't take this joke!"

Lu Yuan chuckled: "I mean, the head of Jiao Chuang, a water thief from Taihu Lake, is still missing. This person has a lot of blood and debts, and not killing is not enough to comfort the dead. The son believes that such an important task belongs to Director Yin."

Yin Daosheng breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately patted his chest and said, "I am at odds with this thief!"

"Your Majesty also said it. Prefect Pei, General Cao and other ten heroes died for the country, and there are no bones left. But they all had the same wish before they died, which is awe-inspiring."

"What wish?"

"That is to donate all the family property to help the villagers, rebuild after disasters, eliminate water thieves, etc."

"Ah?!" Director Yin gasped, the prince is too cruel, he ransacked the house after everyone died?
"My son thinks that such an important task must belong to Director Yin!"

Yin Daosheng's face looked like he was constipated.Copying property is certainly a good job, and it can also be said to be his specialty.But it also offends people.In particular, Pei She and the others still have the reputation of heroes, and the family power is still deeply intertwined.To copy ten companies in a row, this is the rhythm to offend the whole city of Suzhou!
Lu Yuan didn't say much, just pretended to pat Yin Daosheng's neck inadvertently, and hummed: "It's such a big head, cut it off with a knife..."

Yin Daosheng thought about it a lot, and finally broke down, and agreed with a sad face.

Lu Yuan asked someone to hand him a white belt for him to wrap around, and Director Yin also joined the team to save the dead.

At this time, Ma Chunhua was wearing heavy filial piety, and walked over with Gou Shenger, Lu Yuan picked up Gou Shenger, and walked to Zhao Hao's side.

Zhao Hao had just finished burning the incense, and turned around in astonishment. When he saw Gou Shenger at first glance, he couldn't help screaming: "Hou'er, are you still alive?!"
