In the cabin of the Qinchazao ship, Fang Qincha took matters into his own hands and changed out of his wet clothes, while Wang Ying watched at the door, but did not step forward to help.

Because Fang Daqin can't adapt to being waited by men, but it's not good to carry a maid when he travels, so he has to do it himself at this time. Fortunately, Fang Daqin was born in hardship and didn't care about this little thing.

Wang Ying was full of words, and couldn't help asking, "Why is Brother Qiu like this?" It's not like you're doing it. ”

Fang Yingwu wiped his face and complained: "It's too depressing to engage in politics in the capital, and I count it every day, and when I finally come out, I indulge in it wantonly!" It's good to be simple and rude, the world is big, and I have the final say, who can help me?

What else do you want? Do you want me to put down my body and cater to those few scholars who don't know the height of the sky? If you don't give a little bit of power, it will inevitably make the Suzhou madmen look down on it! ”

Wang Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Those few scholars are definitely going to be unlucky, at least this reputation can't be saved." ”

After Fang Yingwu finished cleaning, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you know where their biggest mistake was?" Wang Ying was puzzled by this question and didn't know how to answer it for a while.

However, Fang Yingwu had no idea of selling Guanzi, and quickly asked himself: "Their biggest mistake is that they shouldn't be surrounded on the water!" ”

Wang Ying was stunned at first when she heard this, and then laughed dumbly. If that group of scholars had been blocking the road on land, there would have been no catastrophic accident like the Qincha overboard.

After changing his clothes, Fang Daqin did not dispose of those scholars on the spot, or even did nothing to them. Only the order was given to give way to the boat to move on.

But others did not breathe a sigh of relief, and the silence of the unknown was the most frightening. This is not a complete farewell. After carrying out other missions, I will return to Suzhou Prefecture. And the most terrifying thing is that a letter from Qin Cha has been sent to the case of the Son of Heaven. But the place is still unknown.

That night, Fang Yingwu stayed at a post station in the southwest of Suzhou Prefecture, and as soon as he settled down, he saw Fang Yingshiyu, who guarded the door, reporting: "The Suzhou Mansion Government sent people to hurry up and chase here by land. Right now, you're outside the gate of the post station, it seems that you want to keep you for the prefect, see or not? ”

Fang Yingwu waved his hand and said, "No! Benchincha's schedule doesn't need to be asked! ”

The next day, Fang Yingwu boarded the boat and continued to travel south, but when he walked for many miles, he vaguely heard someone greeting him from behind.

Wang Ying leaned in front of Fang Yingwu and reported: "It seems that there are ships catching up behind." Looking at the flag, it seems to be from the Suzhou government. ”

Fang Yingwu leaned on the side of the boat and looked back, and sure enough, he saw a faster ship chasing after him, and he had already approached his ship in a trance.

At this moment, Fang Yingwu could clearly see that there was a high-ranking official in a scarlet robe standing on the bow deck, in his forties, waving to him from afar.

The color of the official uniform above the fourth rank is crimson, which is not uncommon for officials in the capital, but it is very rare in the local area. After a little thought, Fang Yingwu guessed it. This middle-aged high-ranking official must be the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, and only the prefect's official robe is this color in the entire Suzhou Mansion!

There was a literati dressed on the ship over there and shouted, "Is it Lord Qin Chafang ahead?" Suzhou Mansion is here to visit! ”

Fang Yingwu hesitated for a moment, and then instructed Wang Ying: "A four-rank Huangtang personally chased here, although I am a Qincha. But it's not good to give face, and slow down the ship, and let the ships behind catch up. ”

On the canal, two official boats are one in front of the other. We're about to get closer, and then we can get on the board and go back and forth with each other.

That's when it happened. The official ship behind suddenly stopped, and no longer followed the one in front. The distance between the two official ships gradually widened again.

Fang Yingwu was standing on the boat inexplicably, why didn't the official ship of Suzhou Mansion suddenly continue to follow? The prefect of Suzhou was still standing on the deck, clenching his fists at himself again and again, and his courtesy was very respectful, and it seemed that he was not deliberately rude.

Fang Yingshi got Fang Yingwu's signal, stepped forward and shouted at the official ship of Suzhou Prefecture: "Chase and don't chase, retreat and don't retreat, why is this?" ”

Then someone on the other side replied: "This place has reached the border of the prefecture, I will wait too late, and I ask Lord Qincha to forgive my sins!" ”

Everyone on the boat laughed, it turned out that just now they had just crossed the border of Suzhou Mansion and entered the territory of Jiaxing Mansion in Zhejiang Province in the south.

The state has its own laws, and the magistrates of the prefectures, prefectures, and counties are strictly forbidden to leave the territory without authorization, and unless there is a special order from the imperial court, they are impeached without consultation.

Therefore, although the prefect of Suzhou chased to the border and was close to Qincha, he did not dare to take a step forward.

The people on the boat couldn't help but point and mock: "This Suzhou prefect is really unlucky, I want to meet Lord Qincha to explain the matter, hurry up and hurry up or miss this step, it's really this step!" ”

Fang Yingwu looked at the water surface thoughtfully, and when he heard everyone's discussion, he couldn't help but speak: "What do you know, I am sure that this is deliberately done by the prefect." ”

Back in the cabin, Fang Yingwu let out a long sigh, and Wang Ying asked, "Why is Brother Qiu sighing?" Fang Yingwu shook his head and said, "When encountering such a slippery prefect, it is more and more difficult to send this grain overseer. ”

Wang Ying was stunned, "I look at this mansion and it's okay, why does Brother Qiu say that he has a slippery head?" ”

Fang Yingwu sneered a few times, "This prefect is worried that after I am surrounded by scholars and fall into the water, I will be angry with him, so I have to lower my body." But he didn't want to be too deferential to me, and cause the local gentry to be dissatisfied.

So he deliberately took a sense of proportion, stuck here at the border to catch up with me! In this way, he sold my face and showed sincerity, and avoided a direct meeting with me.

At first glance, such a person has the intention of not offending, but he can come up with a suitable trick, what is this not a slippery head?

If you want to do something, you are most afraid of encountering such a slippery character, and it is difficult to take advantage of those who are slippery and slippery. In contrast, I'd rather meet a righteous gentleman with a single brain, or a wicked person rotten to the bone. ”

A righteous person with no selfish intentions can act as the sharpest blade; A wicked person who is extremely rotten can be directly used to kill chickens and monkeys; What if I encounter a slippery head, what can I do with him?

Wang Ying was dumbfounded when she heard this, and felt that Fang Yingwu's judgment was very reasonable. He has been by Fang Yingwu's side for so many years, and he has a little experience in thinking about himself, so it's no problem to act as a master, but he didn't expect to take another lesson today.

He can only secretly sigh that the hearts of officialdom are unfathomable, and the five words "learning everywhere" are not false. (To be continued......)
