Lin Jian stepped out of the grass hall and was about to welcome Sun Jingxuan ashore to make amends and then go to Prison Island to pick up his daughter, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he thought of a strange place, turned his head and asked Su Mei: "Sun Jingxuan has a letter from Master Fu, I sent someone to deliver the letter last night, I will naturally release people to make amends, why did he make such a big battle, there are almost 2,000 congregations of the Xihe Society gathered outside the riverbank?" ”

"I don't know why, I received someone from Sun Jingxuan in Baiyuan early in the morning to ask for intercession, so I hurried out of the city, and I haven't met Sun Jingxuan yet." Su Mei said, "Sun Jingxuan has no children, she is a daughter, Wanniang's name is Wenwan, I have only seen her twice, she is a woman with a strong personality......"

If you have a strong personality, you can't stab at the root of someone's life with a knife, and fortunately you didn't hurt Sun Wenwan's vital point, and said: "Then I'll let someone pick Wan Niang from Prison Island first." ”

At this time, Zhao Qinmin walked in and saw Su Mei sitting in the front hall of the grass hall, slightly stunned, and asked Lin Lian: "What is the matter outside the riverbank, why are there so many ships staying?" Do you want to send someone to inform the garrison? "There was an assassin at the mouth of the river last night, he didn't have the courage to go out of the surrounding house, and no one came to report the matter to him, he didn't see any movement until dawn, and he didn't have the face to continue to hide in the surrounding house, ran to the embankment to take a look, and was startled, and asked others to say that they didn't know what was going on, so he could only run to find Lin Bin.

"It's not a big deal, someone came to the estuary by boat last night for a walk, just a nail sent by a family, who knows if it was a misunderstanding, everyone came to intercede over there, and I let the person go," Lin Jian said perfunctorily, "The estuary side also works normally, don't affect it, you met with the chief Cao Ziang, and told him so." ”

Zhao Qinmin was puzzled in his heart, thinking that since it was a matter that could be solved by favors, why did the other party make such a big move? With so many boats gathered, the Jiangning Water Camp will inevitably be alert. But when Lin Lian said this, it was inconvenient for him to question it in person, so he said goodbye and left the cottage to find Cao Ziang, who was the leader of the homeless people first, and later recommended him as the chief, and relayed Lin Lian's words to him.

Cao Ziang saw Su Mei coming to Lin Tie, so he roughly guessed that Su Mei was asking for a letter, and with a coordinator, conflicts were less likely to occur, and when he heard Zhao Qinmin's relay, he and Lin Jingzhong first let this side work normally, and the guard on the river bank was not withdrawn for the time being, and the big loach master also temporarily led people to guard the Dongyang without anchoring.

Lin Tie wrote a warrant in the front hall and handed it to the guards outside the door to go to Prison Island to bring people over, there was no one in the front hall, Lin Tie invited the four ladies to sit too, Liu Yue'er made tea and brought it, Su Mei hurriedly stood up and gave her a salute: "Xiaoman's temper is stubborn, Miss Tuoliu took care of ......"

"She is so much younger than me, I should take care of her...... Liu Yue'er said with a smile, although she has known all the things on Changshan Island for a long time, and is only familiar with the four ladies who often fly to the wall to report the news, this is the first time she has seen Su Mei's face, and she really feels that she is beautiful and graceful, which is really jealous and jealous, and I can't guess why Su Mei has to stay in the mansion all the time, is it really like what outsiders said 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 Jian stood up and said to Su Mei: "You sit here for a while, I'll go to the dock to pick up people, this time it's a big offense," and was afraid that Su Mei would be worried, so he added, "The person should not be seriously injured, but he was also a little injured, I specially ordered her to be sent to Prison Island and then given her medicine, just to see that she doesn't look like an assassin; I was too lazy to interrogate last night, I would have known that I would interrogate it......" Lin Jian also regretted Mo Die, thinking that Fu Qinghe could talk about the matchmaker's old friend, Sun Jingxuan and Xihe would be worthy of encirclement and friendship, he was not greedy for the beauty of the Sun family's woman, even if she took a rough look last night, the Sun family's woman did have an extraordinary appearance, but her face was dirty, and she was more beautiful than Liu Yue'er and Xiaoman.

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

Lin Jian thought that Xiaoman was his personal maid, and let her accompany her within the estuary, so as not to suffocate her, so he asked her to go to the estuary with him to pick up people. Walking out of the door, Xiao Man whispered next to Lin Lian's body: "Sister Wan Niang, I've seen it too, who told you to just tell me to stay in the house to listen to Sister Yue'er's words?" ”

Dare to be happy is to gloat and watch the excitement, and yesterday she boasted to her that there was a good show to watch today, and Lin Jian didn't expect a good show to happen on his head.

Prison Island sent a boat over, this boat has no shelter, Lin Lian stood on the embankment and saw Sun Wenwan tied up on a simple stretcher, his hair was scattered, his left arm was wrapped in a wound, the key was that his left leg was still in a plaster, Lin Lian secretly complained in his heart, he didn't expect Sun Wenwan to punch him last night and hit the embankment and hurt his leg, and the injury on his arm may not be light. There is a mother-in-law in the women's prison, and Lin Lian has no extra care, thinking that Sun Wenwan may not suffer any grievances, and there may not be good fruits to eat, Lin Lian hurriedly went down the river embankment with Xiaoman, and Xiaoman also complained in a low voice: "Why are you so ruthless, Sister Wan Niang is such a beautiful girl?" ”

"My intestines are now repentant, do you want to pull a paragraph out and show it to you? Hurry up and say a few more good words to me......" Lin Jian begged Xiaoman in a low voice.

"Flim, how can I help you say good things?" Xiaoman scolded with a smile, she didn't have a particularly deep contact with Sun Wenwan, and Lin Lian's treatment of other beautiful girls was in line with her care.

Lin Jian walked to the dock and waited for the boat to come over, looking at Sun Wenwan, who was spitting fire in his eyes tied to an improvised stretcher, he sneered and said, "Miss Sun, I really misunderstood last night, I will come over to make amends to you...... You go to the grass hall to rest first, and I will immediately send someone to invite Ling Zun so that I can make amends together. Lin Jian gave Xiao Man a look, and asked Xiao Man to take someone to carry Sun Wenwan to the grass hall first, Su Mei was there, let Su Mei untie Sun Wenwan, lest Sun Wenwan stab him with a knife here.

Lin Jian went around from this side of the river embankment to the riverbank wharf, and the ships of the Xihe Society were all outside the boundary post, and they did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pond all night. On the way, Cao Ziang and Lin Jingzhong walked towards each other, and Lin Jian had the opportunity to explain to them: "It's a misunderstanding, Fu Ye and Sun Jingxuan of the Xihe Society are old friends, and there are correspondence, it was Sun Jingxuan's only daughter who caused trouble last night, and her arms and legs were injured, I personally got off the boat to pick up Sun Jingxuan to ask for guilt, you guys should go and get busy......"

"Isn't it dangerous?" Lin Jingzhong said worriedly.

Lin Lian smiled and asked, "What danger can there be?" He motioned to the big loach master Ge Cunxin to dock the Dongyang to pick him up and board the ship.

At present, to guard against Zhao Qinmin's eyes, Cao Ziang and Lin Jingzhong dispersed separately, and also withdrew the secret whistle.

Lin Jian boarded the Dongyang, explained the matter to the big loach master, and set sail for the Xihehui fleet.

The vast majority of the congregations of the Xihe Society are poor boatmen after all, and according to the law, each boat can carry private goods from north to south according to a certain proportion to sell and buy, and the boats can be used privately during the non-Cao transportation period, which can be regarded as the main source of income for the river gang forces, but the actual various exploits to be dealt with along the road are higher than the normal commercial taxes, and the river gang has to pay for the shipwrecks and delays in the transportation on the way, in fact, the financial resources of the general river gang forces are even compared with ordinary businesses.

There will be as many as 200 Wupeng grain ships carrying 200 stone of rice grain in front of Lin Jian in front of him, and they are still nominally owned by the government, and in normal years, new ships will be allocated according to the proportion of 8% to eliminate old ships. In this way, the depreciation period of each ship is about 12 years, and then it is difficult for the Ministry of Household to allocate special silver for the ships to each shipyard to be completely in shipbuilding, and it is difficult to say that the quality of a ship can persist in high-intensity sailing for 12 years. Zhucao River shipwreck capsizing accident occurs in large numbers every year, the shipwreck loss is secondary, if the shipwreck in the shallow and narrow line of the Cao River to block the river, that is to be the old life, you must spend money to hire people to salvage the sunken ship to dredge the river, delay their own and other people's water transportation deadline but also to be accountable. Almost every few years, the River Gang forces fall apart, the head of the family asks the government for their crimes, and every few years a new River Gang forces rise up to the government for recognition, and it seems to be a law to eliminate them once in a few decades, but if there is no major offense, the government will not be too harsh on the crime.

The Xihe Society has gained a foothold in Jiangning Sun Jingxuan is already the fourth generation, and he is considered to be a very important part of the Jiangning River Gang, Dongyang leaned over, brushed countless heads out of the cabin and stood on the bow of the ship, glaring angrily, they all held sharpened bamboo guns in their hands. The government will crack down ordinary party and gang organizations, but the situation of Cao Yun is special, and without the existence of the river gang, the government will organize its own manpower to transport more than 6 million stone of rice and grain to Yanjing thousands of miles away, and the cost will be amazingly high. Although there is a certain threat to the existence of the river gang forces, especially the establishment of the country by Emperor Gaozu with the help of the river gang forces, but since this dynasty, the newly rising river gang forces have not produced particularly great harm.

"Dare to ask Sun Jingxuan which boat Sun Huishou is on, Jiangdao Prison Prison Lin Lian is here to apologize to Sun Huishou, Miss Su Mei has explained the misunderstanding clearly, it is Lin Lian who is reckless, and has asked people to bring Miss Sun back to the estuary from the Prison Women's Prison, and ask Sun Huishou to go, so that Lin Lian can make amends again......" Lin Lian stood at the bow of the boat and asked in a loud voice towards the Xihe Hui.

"Don't dare to be, Lord Lin is serious, the little girl is rude and willful, nonsense, she collided with the adult, and she should be punished, I just hope that Lord Lin is also working for the imperial court to give Jing Xuan the opportunity to atone for the little girl," A slightly larger brig did not raise its sails, but someone at the stern of the boat rocked the oar and drove the boat forward for a while, and a middle-aged man at the bow of the ship saluted with a sincere fist, "As long as Lord Lin is lenient to the little girl, how will Lord Lin punish Jing Xuan?" ”

Lin Jian wondered in his heart, hadn't Sun Jingxuan read the letter Fu Qinghe gave him? Sun Jingxuan's posture is obviously a threatening posture, and then he softly speaks good words and begs for each other, in the final analysis, it is still soft, and the last sentence makes it clear that the fortress silver is atoned for, and he sighed softly: The blackmail of Dongcheng Jing'er is too ruthless, and Jiang Ning's slight power is not enough to resist Gu Wuchen's forces, and he is afraid of those who have the handle in his hands.

Lin Jian only continued to lower his posture and said: "Sun Hui's first words are serious, Miss Sun is not at fault at all, if you want to say the fault, or I am negligent at night......" Seeing Sun Jingxuan's increasing panic, confirming that he did not see Fu Qinghe's letter, Su Meidang would not lie to himself, and his heart became more and more strange, so he only invited Sun Jingxuan to go to the estuary to speak, and did not mention Sun Wenwan's injury for the time being.
