Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Taking a closer look, this guy took off his long shirt and was only wearing a middle coat.

The package was actually wrapped in his own coat.

"Sir, I bought the food!"

Zuo Maodi gave a few words of encouragement, took the silver bag from Chen Yongji's hand, and whispered to him:

"Keep an eye on Chen Hongfan. If there is anything unusual about this boy, kill him immediately!"

Chen Yongji's eyes widened and he was about to ask why.

But I heard Zuo Maodi continue:

"If I am right in my guess, I must have surrendered to Donglu.

We must be fully prepared.

No matter what the consequences are, Zuo will bear them all! "

Chen Yongji gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.

His palms were placed on his waist.

There, a sword hung.

"Walk!"

Seeing that all the chores had been taken care of, Zuo Maodi immediately gave an order for Wang Yibin to lead the way to the dock.

On the pier, there are Donglu people with money and rat tails everywhere.

Although they were not wearing armor, Zuo Maodi could tell at a glance that these people were Donglu soldiers.

He couldn't help but speculate that Dorgon was going to attack Jiangnan, and he became even more convinced.

Chen Hongfan saw several people in Zuo Mao murmuring, and not long after, Chen Yongji appeared next to him, with a pair of vigilant eyes, and he looked at him from time to time.

He had no choice but to forcefully suppress his plan to leave a mark, and made up his mind to wait until everyone relaxed their vigilance before leaving the agreed mark.

Seeing Zuo Maodi leading them towards the dock, Chen Hongfan recalled the scene a few days ago in his mind.

The instructions from Master Dorgon, the emperor’s father and regent of the Qing Dynasty, are still echoing in my ears:

‘This trip south is related to the national destiny of the Qing Dynasty, Zuo Maodi must not lose anything.

Chen Qing accompanied Zuo Maodi to the south and had no need to communicate with our spies. ’

He still remembers his inquiry at the time:

‘In this case, why don’t Master just kill this beast? ’

Dorgon gave him a sinister look and sneered:

‘Zuo Maodi is a great Confucian, and he has already made a name for himself in the world because of his anger against the king in Beijing.

If Gu Ruo kills him now, won't it mean that all the scholars in the world will rebel against me?

Zuo Maodi must die, but not in the capital!

You can follow him south with peace of mind. Halfway through, I will find an excuse and leave Zuo Maodi behind.

By then, the affairs of Jiangnan will be left to the Qing family!

Don't worry, Chen Qing, our Qing Dynasty has always made clear rewards and punishments.

As long as you persuade Jiangnan to help me conquer the world in Jiangnan, I will ensure that you enter the imperial court.

It is not difficult to be the chief official of the six ministries and worship the prime minister in the cabinet! ’

Chen Hongfan lowered his head and listened to Chen Yongji's footsteps.

But he was sneering in his heart:

‘No matter how cunning and treacherous you are as Zuo Maodi, you never would have thought that my father, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the regent, my master and son, have already developed murderous intentions towards you!

let's go!

Based on my understanding of Master, I will definitely intercept you on the way!

Hahahaha!

As long as I don't have you, I will be able to make great achievements while wandering south of the Yangtze River!

This is the power of Conglong! ’

As soon as Wang Yibin arrived at the pier, he saw a man in his 40s with deer-eye eyebrows and a stooped waist. He patted him and turned away.

Wang Yibin's expression changed, he hurriedly stopped, turned around and walked behind the man.

'not good!

This man won't go to the pier!

How can I contact the imperial spies? ’

Chen Hongfan's expression changed drastically and he was about to speak.

The hilt of Chen Yongji's sword was already pressed against Chen Hongfan's waist.

Chen Hongfan was shocked, and cold sweat instantly spread all over his body.

He pretended to be calm:

"Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

"Running on the road, rushing on the road, wasn't the whole family still saying that they were exhausted before?

Why say more? "

Chen Hongfan was about to curse all eighteen generations of Chen Yongji's ancestors out of their graves, but he could only put a hypocritical smile on his face:

"Brother Chen is joking. I am just wondering why the ship is not at the dock."

"Ha ha!"

Chen Yongji sneered.

Do you really think everyone is a fool?

Although Tongzhou Pier is crowded with people, money rats are everywhere among the crowd.

At this time, if they really go to the dock, they will probably go to Jiangnan...

Tonight, we will return to the Capital Water Prison again!

The middle-aged man walked a long way along the canal, and gradually, the crowds became sparse.

He just opened his mouth and said:

"Did you bring the money?"

Zuo Maodi took a step forward, holding the silver bag in his hand, and said:

"The money is here, you have to let me see the ship first, right?"

As he spoke, he opened the silver bag.

The man took a glance and saw that it was really silver, and then said:

"Don't be surprised, the Qing army is rampaging through various towns and plundering ships.

Please forgive me for being careful! "

After speaking, he pointed to the south:

"Go south for five miles, there is a water fork there, and my boat is parked in the reed marsh.

That is to say, you are lucky and arrived before I set off.

Otherwise, regardless of whether I meet any guests or not, I will flee south. "

Zuo Maodi nodded. He wanted to get more information, but he was worried that it was still under the Qing court's nose. He immediately said:

"Of course we are eager to leave this place, and we asked the boatman to lead the way."

The group continued south.

The once prosperous canal outside Tongzhou City is now in ruins.

There are even some deep houses and compounds that are emitting smoke.

Zuo Maodi was shocked!

In the autumn of the year before last, he was ordered to inspect the Yangtze River on a regular basis.

At that time, although there were disaster victims on both sides of the canal, it was still bustling.

But I didn’t expect that in just two years, Northern Xinjiang would be in such a dilapidated state...

The group of people were all grown men and they were in a hurry.

Although everyone was not running at a trot, they were still walking at a gallop.

After two sticks of incense, the group had arrived at the water fork the boatman had mentioned.

As far as the eye can see, there are withered and yellow reeds as tall as a person.

The new green reeds are two feet high just emerging from the water.

The reeds are getting thicker and thicker.

"Sixth Son, it's me!"

The rickety man shouted.

The reeds rustled for a while, and not long after, a awning boat docked on the shore.

On the boat, a young man stood at the bow holding a bamboo pen.

"Dad, have you found a guest?"

The boatman nodded in agreement.

He had already seen that Zuo Maodi was the leader of the crowd, and he pointed to the boat:

"Sir, we'd better get on the boat first."

Zuo Maodi winked at Chen Yongji.

Chen Yongji pushed the hilt of his sword to force Chen Hongfan to get on the boat first. He also jumped on and drove Chen Hongfan into the cabin.

Zuo Maodi then summoned a dozen of his men and jumped onto the boat one by one.

The boatman turned around and looked behind him. Seeing that no one was following him, he hurriedly jumped onto the side of the boat, picked up another pennies, and ordered his son:

"Liuzi, go quickly!"

The father and son pushed hard, and the awning boat left the shore.
