Chapter 10

A clump of tender green grass sprouts appeared in the lumps of soil on both sides of the Whirlpool River, Lin Lian didn't have the heart to stay for the new greenery of the northern land, and after saying goodbye to Lin Mengde and Tang Haoxin in a hurry, he went to the south bank to camp.

Sun Wenbing's injury was not serious, Lin Jian and Lin Mengde rushed back, and the army Lang Zhongzheng treated him.

"I suffered an arrow wound on the shoulder, the wound was not deep, I just treated it briefly on the way here, I lost a lot of blood, and the wound was a little ulcerated, so I took the rotten flesh off the medicine for him, so as not to leave future troubles," Sui Jun Langzhong introduced Sun Wenbing's injury to Lin Lian, "In addition, it is excessive physical exertion that causes fainting." ”

Lin Lian's brows furrowed slightly, looking at Sun Wenbing, who was lying on the wooden shelf bed and didn't know what was going on, he couldn't know what happened in Shandong from him, and asked Cao Ziang: "Who escorted Sun Wenbing back, what happened in Shandong?" ”

"There are also two Hu Cong who rushed back with them, wading through the water, walking more than 500 miles in one day and one night, and when they arrived in Cangnan, several horses died in the middle of the road, and the Sun family in Cangnan sent someone to escort them over. The two servants were in the next room, one was seriously injured and unconscious, and the other was in a slightly better condition and was still awake, and was being treated by Lang Zhong, and he didn't have time to ask questions yet......"

"Please watch here and make sure nothing happens." Lin Tie his hand lightly on the shoulder of the servant Langzhong, and solemnly admonished, asking Cao Ziang to take him and Lin Meng to the next door to meet the two servants who rushed over with Sun Wenbing.

**********

Sun Wenbing was not seriously injured except for an arrow wound on the shoulder, but the two servants who rushed back to Jinhai with Sun Wenbing seemed to have escaped from a bloody battle, their clothes and armor were bloodstained, one was unconscious, and the other black-faced short young man sat on the edge of the bed with a strong support, as if refusing to allow Lang Zhong to heal him.

The black-faced short young man saw Lin Jian and the others walking in, turned over and got out of bed, knelt on the edge of the bed, and said, "Please save my father and save the children of the Xihe Society......"

"What the hell is the matter, you stand up and say," Lin Jian stretched out his hand to pick up the young man, asking him to stand up and speak, but the tentacles felt that the flesh under the clothes was delicate, not like the firm skin of a martial arts man, he was slightly stunned, looking at his appearance a little familiar, and asked in surprise, "Who are you?" ”

"Ah, it's Miss Sun," Lin Mengde, who entered the room behind Lin Binding, recognized Sun Wenwan and exclaimed in surprise, "What happened to the Xihe Society, why are you all like this?" ”

"Steward Lin, it's me," Sun Wenwan no longer had the strength to support her body, but she was limp and paralyzed in Lin Lian's arms, "My father and more than 1,000 children of the Xihe Society were treated as rebels, and they were arrested and imprisoned by the Shandong County Division, this is a great wrong, I beg the adults to uphold justice for the Xihe Society, and I can't let my father and the children of the Xihe Society die in Shandong in vain - Wen Wan is willing to be a slave and a maid for the adults!" ”

Lin Lian naturally recognized Sun Wenwan at this time, and his face was deliberately covered with a layer of charcoal powder, which looked dark and had some small bumps, covering her beautiful face, and he thought it was an ordinary-looking short young man, I didn't know what happened to Xihehui, so he carefully hugged her and put her on the bed, and said, "Don't say these crazy things, what happened?" Didn't Sun Huishou and the children of Xihe Hui send Cao Liang to Jimo, Shandong, how could they wrongfully become rebels for Shandong County Division? ”

Sun Wenwan's breathing was rapid, her chest rose and fell violently, and she was struggling to speak. Lin Jian saw that there were blood stains oozing out of her chest, and when she came in, she saw that she refused Lang Zhong to treat her, thinking that maybe it was injured in a place where girls could not be seen by outsiders, and said to Sun Wenwan, "Lang Zhong saves the dead and helps the wounded, it is a sage and sage, you don't have to avoid the suspicion of men and women anymore, you can't miss the treatment!" ”

"Wen Wan's life and death are small, and the lives of thousands of children of the Xihe Society and the Zhuhe Gang are big, and I hope that the adults will have mercy on her. If Wen Wan dies, she will be a slave and a slave for adults in the next life......" Sun Wenwan said weakly, refusing Lang Zhong to treat her.

Lin Jian frowned slightly, and said: "Your second brother has made great contributions to Jiangdong Zuoying, so you won't give me a slave or a maid, is it possible that I will still do nothing about the affairs of the Xihe Society?" He turned around and instructed Suizhong Langzhong, "You come to treat her injuries first, save her life, and delay the questioning for a moment......

"It's better for you to treat Miss Sun yourself." Lin Mengde stood behind and said.

Sun Wenwan closed her eyes at this time and no longer objected, but said weakly: "Wenwan is willing to be a slave and a maid for the adult, and whatever the adult commands!" ”

Lin Jian couldn't cry or laugh, this dead girl was still holding on to these things when she was dying, and she reluctantly ordered someone to carefully move the unconscious Hu from the other room, clear this room, and let people find two women with sharp hands and feet to come and help.

*********

Lin Tie untied Sun Wenwan's bloody clothes, she applied charcoal powder on her face, dark like an ordinary youth, but the skin from the neck was extremely white, under the background of red bloodstains, it seemed to be the first snow under the new sun in winter, and a ball of white cloth was wrapped tightly on her chest, so that the pair of huge tender breasts did not look obvious under the armor.

Sun Wenwan gritted her teeth and didn't faint, but she closed her eyes and didn't look at Lin Lian, Lin Lian's fingers touched her skin, and she restrained herself from moving.

Lin Jian saw that a cut had been made in her right chest, and the blood oozing out almost stained the white cloth that wrapped her chest. In this situation, Lin Jian couldn't give birth to any fragrant thoughts, and carefully cut the white cloth wrapped around the chest with scissors, and found that Sun Wenwan's development was still quite good, as if two upside-down big jade cups were upright. He wiped off the blood on his breast with a clean cloth soaked in warm water, found a deep wound on the inside of his left chest, cleaned it carefully, and then wrapped it in medicine.

At this time, the two women took off Sun Wenwan's obscene pants, and the inner side of the thighs, which were originally extremely white, were worn in many places, and the blood stains were red, which made people feel distressed to look at, and they were also carefully medicated.

Sun Wenwan has to wear particularly loose clothes to help the wound heal, she is tall among women, Lin Jian asked him to bring his clothes and pants to Sun Wenwan to change into, and after watching the woman who was waiting for her to feed her and drink the ginseng soup, she asked her about the details of what would happen to Xihe.

**********

Sun Wenwan's face was washed with charcoal powder that covered her delicate face, revealing her delicate and beautiful true face, she was lying on the bed, her cheeks were pale from blood loss, and her eyes were not bright, but compared to her who was strong and even a little tough before, she was more likely to make people feel pity at this time.

Because Sun Wenwan was wearing Lin Bin's clothes, which were very loose and exposed more skin, Lin Mengde and Cao Ziang both sat sideways to avoid suspicion, while Lin Jian sat casually in front of Sun Wenwan's sickbed and asked her for details, but Sun Wenbing had not woken up yet.

"It's not that my Xihehui family has falsely accused Shandong County Division of being a rebel," Sun Wenwan didn't let herself fall into a coma with the last of her will, and said weakly, "In mid-February, Jiangdong received a special order from the grain governor, and the Xihehui and the other sixteen river gangs in Jiangning immediately drove a boat to transport 360,000 Shicao grain to the north according to the order, and the river gangs in Weiyang, Pingjiang, Hailing and other prefectures and counties were a little later. When I arrived at Suyu, I learned that the Yellow River had burst its embankment, and the Cao Canal in Pingyuan Prefecture was no longer passable. The ships were parked south of Suyu and waited for news until the end of February, when the imperial court directly sent important officials to Suyu to supervise the grain. Except for some of the grain that continued to go north to help Jinanfu, Pingyuanfu and other prefectures and counties, about 600,000 Shicao grain from the Xihehui and other river boats were required to sail from the mouth of the Huai River to Jimo, Shandong, and other Cao Cao ships were stopped at the river south of Suyu and waited by ......"

Lin Jian was clear about this situation.

The Yellow River burst and the damage to the Pingyuanfu River could not be solved in a day or two, and it was not a strange thing to drag on for a year and a half, so they urgently built a large warehouse in Jinhai, concentrated Shandong grain in the Denglai area, and then transported the grain from Denglai to the Jinhai storage warehouse. The eastern part of Shandong is hilly and has limited grain production, so it can only meet the storage needs of Jinhai in a short period of time, and a larger amount of grain must be replenished from other places. The idea of the household department was that since there were a large number of cao boats full of cao grain blocked in the Suyu area and could not go north, it was better to let these cao boats go directly to the sea from the mouth of the Huai River, and transport the cao grain to Jimo at the southern tip of the Shandong Peninsula on standby by the coastal route that was a little calmer.

From Jiaozhou Bay, where Jimo County is located on the south bank of the Shandong Peninsula, to Laizhou Bay on the north bank, the narrowest place by land is only more than 200 miles, not to mention that there is a Jiaolai River that runs through the Shandong Peninsula between the two places. As long as Jimo can gather enough grain, it will be much more convenient to transport the grain to the Laizhou Bay area in the north.

"Could it be that all the river gangs resisted the boats going to sea?" Lin Jian asked suspiciously, "It was at the beginning of March that the household department sent personnel to Suyu to supervise the grain, how could it be that there was no further news back until today?" ”

Inland river vessels sail on the sea, and even if they sail close to the coastline, the risks are still very high. Of course, the decision of the household department will give the River Gang a boycott, but it is not that there is no news, and the contradiction will intensify to the extent of rebellion.

"When there is trouble in the world, the husband is responsible, and the children of the Xihe Society and the Zhuhe Gang are not afraid of difficulties and retreat. Even if there is a certain risk in rushing to sea, my father decided to go to sea after discussing with the leaders of the Zhuhe Gang, although many ships were sunk, but in the end, nearly 600,000 Shicao grain arrived in Jimo smoothly," Sun Wenwan covered her chest, wanting to cough without touching the wound, but desperately held back, and told Lin Jian the ins and outs of the Xihe shock, "After everyone arrived in Jimo, after the grain supervisor Qincha met with the grain supervisor sent by the Shandong County Division, he changed the order again, asking the Xihe Society and other river gangs to directly sail the Cao boat into the Jiaolai River, Transporting the grain to Denglai and other places on the northeast bank of the mountain......"

"Ah," Lin Mengde sighed on the side, knowing what the problem was, and said, "I went to Shandong the year before last to charge goods, and I know that the situation of the Jiaolai River is worse than that of the Vortex River. The river is shallow, the upstream water is insufficient, and most of the boats in the West River will have a capacity of 200 stones or 400 stones, and there is a chance that the Jiaolai River will be blocked. ”

"What Steward Lin said is very true. We arrived in Jimo on the 11th of March, and on the 12th the order of the Shandong County Division came down. My father and the Zhuhe Gang discussed with the Zhuhe Gang about sending people to send boats to test the water first, so that it would be more secure to miss the grain transportation. The Zhuhe Gang also specially sent his father to tell the grain officials of the Shandong County Department and the Ministry of Households about this. The grain supervisor thought that it was my father who took the lead in making things difficult for the officials, so he reprimanded my father in Jimo. If someone hadn't interceded, my father would have been arrested and imprisoned in Jimo. The grain supervisor was in a hurry, blaming us for deliberately delaying, and we were forced to have no choice but to gather the boats with a load of less than 200 stones with the other river gangs first, and rashly enter the Jiaolai River. As soon as they entered the hinterland of the Shandong Peninsula and the territory of Changyi County, the bottom of the boat was dead on the soft mud of the riverbed, and it was impossible to advance or retreat, which also made all the ships behind it be tightly blocked. However, the officials of the Shandong County Department and the Household Department in charge of grain thought that we were deliberately making things difficult, and without asking any questions about what was wrong, they arrested more than 70 shipwrights who were blocking the front boat, tied them up, and took them to the shore and beheaded them for public display...... These people died so miserably that the Rivers Gang was in an uproar, and thousands of people surrounded the grain overseers to ask for an explanation for the congregation that had died. At that time, the scene was very chaotic and difficult to control, and the public was so angry that they first threw more than a dozen grain officials into the river, and also injured dozens of transport soldiers. My father tried his best to persuade both sides, asking everyone to see the overall situation of the grain shortage in Yanjing to temporarily settle the disputes, persuade the Zhuhe Gang to disperse, let the grain officials and transport officials go, and wait for the imperial court to send another official to coordinate and deal with many things. Who would have thought that the Shandong County Division would transfer more than 10,000 garrisons from all over the country that night to surround the Xihehui and the children of the Zhuhe Gang, and to exterminate them as rebels......
