whale wave

Chen Fan took a boat and passed by the Haoqu. He was an imposing figure, seven feet long, standing on the bow of the boat, which was very eye-catching.He was on his own boat. Looking at the direction of the boat, he should be transporting goods to the Maritime Shipping Department for customs clearance.

This kind of thing is usually left to the officer on board. He may have other important things to do when he is traveling today.

The Hao Canal was crowded, and the Chen family's boat was caught in the middle, moving slowly. Chen Fan stood at the bow and looked at it for a while, then returned to the cabin and did not come out again.

When the ship docked in front of the stone bridge of Shi Ship Division, Chen Fan got off the ship, followed by more than ten people, all young and strong, they were sailors of the Chen family.

Chen Fan didn't notice that anyone was watching him, although he had a good intuition, and he glanced around again and again.

On the shore, five people set their eyes on the Chen family's boat and followed it all the way until they reached the Shipbuilding Department.These five people were all dressed up as sailors, and the leader called Zhong Da, with a hulking back and a wolf-like voice, was not a good person at first glance.

The five called each other brothers, they got together to discuss, and felt that there was no chance of winning in terms of numbers, so they gave up.

Zhong Da left his brother behind, and walked through the crowd alone, Jia'an was full of people and traffic, and soon he disappeared.

When Zhong Da's figure appeared again, he entered a brothel, which was the famous brothel in the east of the city - Xihe Building.

The pavilions and pavilions of Xihe are connected with each other, and the decoration is magnificent. If an uninformed countryman sees it, he will think it is a prince's mansion.It also has an extraordinary background, its owner is Zhao Jidao's father Zhao Buqi, this is a brothel run by the clan.

The East Pavilion of Xihe Tower has always been forbidden to outsiders, and it is either idle or used to receive distinguished guests on weekdays.Zhao Jidao was leaning on a soft couch, with his arms around a beautiful woman, his robes were messy, and the hat on his head was crooked.

Zhong Da was kneeling on the ground, reporting something to a tall, thin man who leaned against the window and never looked back.

It didn't take long for the clock to retreat, and the tall and thin man was still standing in front of the window, drinking the golden cup in his hand.

"Chen Duanli loves his youngest son Chen Yu the most. As long as Chen Yu is tied up, Chen Duanli will not obey us." Zhao Jidao put his arms around the beauty's shoulders and kissed Fangze when he said it.

After King Xi and his family set fire to the Si Liyuan, they learned that the real account book of the official ship was in the hands of Zhao Shilang, and the gang of princes and grandchildren also invited Chen Duanli to help settle the account.

Now that Chen Duanli hasn't settled the accounts yet, when he does, the accounts will definitely become the most powerful evidence.

Zhao Jizhou turned around and said coldly: "The Chen family has been prepared for a long time, it is not easy to strike."

"What's the problem? Throw the kerosene at his house and take advantage of the chaos to kidnap people." Zhao Jidao talked about setting fires as naturally as talking about eating, "Fan Wei borrowed us from the five tigers in Luchang, so it's a good time to try their skills. .”

Zhao Jizhou sneered coldly, the last time he came up with a bad idea, he set fire to the Sisi Yuan, the account books were not burned, and it caused a commotion.

Seeing his cousin ignoring him, Zhao Jidao was a little bored, and he laughed at himself: "We are the dignified prince and grandson of Xi, but we can't do anything to a small sea merchant. We are really ashamed of our ancestors."

Zhao Jizhou was sullen, his eyes were like blades.

Knowing that the hot cousin has no good fruit to eat, Zhao Jidao turned to talk to the beauty around him, getting tired of her.In fact, he didn't care much about the case of the official ship being stabbed to the emperor. They were nobles, the same clan of the emperor, and they didn't have to pay for their lives.

"Chen Yu, is he very close to Zhao Youcheng?" Zhao Jizhou took the top spot, and immediately a woman came to serve him, but he chased him away with disgusted eyes.

"Ha, it's him." Zhao Jidao seemed to mention something interesting, and sat up excitedly, "It's not just a close relationship, it's just him."

Zhao Jidao's words were exaggerated, he only saw them together in the past, but the eldest son and the merchant's son were never close, so their relationship seemed particularly weird.

"Pu Wangfang faction always produces weird people who have a penchant for cutting sleeves." Zhao Jidao let out a strange laugh, "If we catch Chen Yu, Zhao Yousheng will die in a hurry."

It was Zhao Yousheng who came up with a plan and led a group of people to the cadre's house to find out the official ship's account books, which made things so difficult to deal with.It's a pity that Zhao Yousheng's family is tightly guarded, and there is Zhang Yi, who is very skilled in martial arts, so he can't touch his family at all.

**

Chen Duanli is still in the room all day long, sitting at his desk to settle the accounts. He has already calculated four of the six official ship account books, and these account books have only been in his hands for three days.

The day after the account book arrived at Chen Duanli's house, Zhao Shilang sent an old servant to secretly send a message to Chen's house, informing the members of King Xi's family that they had learned that the account book was in Chen's house, and they needed to be vigilant.Xi Wang Fangzhi is unscrupulous, and may come to steal the account books, or set fire like the Siliyuan.

The Chen family's security was tight, there were a cloud of servants in the house, and Chen Duanli and Chen Yu didn't go out, and even if Chen Fan went out, he would bring a group of healthy servants with him.

The days of the Chen family were so peaceful that the people in the west of the city did not know that the Chen family was being targeted.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Chen Duanli handed over the calculated account book to Zhao Shilang. He only kept two books in his hand, and it would take two days at most before he could finish the calculation and relieve the burden.

There are very few and insignificant things that Chen Yu can help his father, but he has always been by his father's side.

He knew that these ledgers were very important to Zhao Yousheng and the others, and he also knew that his family had gotten into trouble, and now he was in the same boat as the upright people. Only by overthrowing the enemy could he be safe.

These days, there are often strange men wandering nearby, but they can't get close to the Chen family, and they dare not.Once you get close, you will be arrested by the servants of the Chen family, but there are a group of healthy servants guarding the front door and the back door with weapons.

After spending two days without any danger, the last two official ship ledgers were taken out of the Chen family and delivered to Zhao Shilang. It was a dark night, and there were dozens of eldest sons in the Chen family, and dozens of eldest sons’ families. servant.

Zhao Shilang took the account book and went to the harbor overnight to take a boat. Zhao Yichun went with him. The officers and soldiers of the inspection department were entrusted by Chen Duanli to escort them out of Quanzhou.

The sea boat set off overnight, headed north to the capital, took advantage of the good wind, and arrived in the capital within a few days.

That night, Chen Yu stayed at home and did not follow his father to the harbor to see him off, although he knew that A Leftover would definitely be in the procession.

When the entanglement between the clans is over, Chen Yu will be able to communicate with Zhao Yousheng again, and he is looking forward to it.

The day after Zhao Shilang and Zhao Yichun left by boat, early in the morning, Zhao Bumin, who got the news, also hurried to the capital by boat.He couldn't stop someone from going to the emperor to sue him, but he could go to the emperor to plead for leniency.

Disputes between the clans were, at a small scale, family affairs, and the emperor might be merciful because he cared about the affection of the same clan.In order to play a role, Zhao Bumin also brought two old men in their [-]s and [-]s with him in the same room.

Before Zhao Bumin left, a group of children from the clan who would be seeing him off called him, including his son and nephew, and told them not to cause trouble when he was away, so as not to be caught again.Let's talk about everything when he comes back.

Later, Zhao Bumin never came back. The crime was confirmed, the emperor was angry, Zhao Bumin was dismissed in vain, and was detained in the Zongzheng Temple in the capital.

Since Zhao Shilang and Zhao Bumin went to Beijing, for a while in Quanzhou City, the disputes between the clans seemed to have subsided, and King Xi's family was defeated like a rooster.

On a clean day, Chen Duanli unloaded his burden, stepped out of the house, and went to the courtyard to see the clear sky.Chen Yu accompanied his father, feeling very happy in his heart, Chen Duanli looked at his son who had been locked up in the house with him for many days, and asked him if he wanted to go outside for a walk.

Chen Yu laughed and said that he wanted to visit friends at Zeng's house.Although he also wanted to find You Sheng, it seemed that it was not yet time.

The Zeng family and the Chen family are very close, and they are neighbors.

Chen Yu went out, and for a short distance, there were six attendants by his side.

He didn't know that when he stepped out of the house, five people had been waiting for him for a long time.

If the members of King Xi's family planned to arrest Chen Yu and threaten Chen Duanli to prevent Chen Duanli from assisting Zhao Shilang, it is too late now, but it is never too late to take revenge.

**

Zhao Yousheng saw off his patriarch last night, knowing that the overall situation has been settled, he should feel at ease, but at noon today, he felt anxious for no reason.

He fetched the sword and wiped the sword with a silk cloth. Only when he was holding the sharp sword in his hand did the restlessness in his heart ease. Zhao Yousheng couldn't predict whether something would happen, so he was restless.

The long sword was hanging in the bed tent, but there was no dust in it. Putting down the silk cloth and rubbing the hilt with his fingers, Zhao Yousheng pulled it out quickly, and the sword came out of its sheath, and there was a sound.

Zhao Yousheng went downstairs with his sword in hand, and danced his sword in the courtyard.

After practicing the sword, he calmed down a lot. He planned to go to Zhao Mengshou's house. Many descendants of the same clan gathered at his house today. He also planned to talk to his partners about the future official ship trade.

Zhao Yousheng called Wu Chu and was about to go out. Wu Xin told him to be careful when going out, which meant that he was used to it.At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside, Wu Xin went to the gate of the courtyard, startled, and saw Zhao Zhuangdie coming straight on horseback.

"Zhuang Die, what's the matter?"

Zhao Yousheng came out of the hospital and hurried to see him. Zhuang Die was so panicked that something must have happened.

"Ah Leftover is bad! Little..." Zhuang Die jumped off the horse, out of breath, he leaned on the saddle to rest, and then straightened up and said: "Xiao Yu was taken away!"

"When did it happen!"

"Let go, I'm almost out of breath..."

Only then did Zhao Yousheng realize that he was holding on to Zhuang Die's collar tightly, the knuckles of his fingers burst out, and the poor Zhuang Die was pulled off the ground by him. He put Zhuang Die down, trying to calm himself down.Zhang Yi, who had just heard the sound, was astonished by his appearance, as if he had seen an evil ghost.

"Ah Leftover, I just went to Post Street. I saw officers and soldiers on the street. I heard that it was Chen Duanli's son who was taken away. When I saw Mr. Chen, I told him to ignore me and hurried away with a group of officers and soldiers. !"

Zhao Zhuangdie was in a hurry. When he came back from Duanhe's house, he saw this scene on the post street. His first reaction was to immediately run to tell Zhao Yousheng.

Zhao Yousheng said anxiously: "Wu Chu, prepare your horse, go!"

When he changed the things that should have happened, and then everything went to a different track, Chen Yu in his previous life had never been kidnapped.He couldn't control it anymore, it was out of control at this moment.The original self-satisfaction is gone.

The author has something to say: Zhao Yousheng (draws sword): You are courting death.
