Lord please forgive me

Chapter 132 River Bend Pier
A hundred miles southeast of Hengzhou, among the rugged and undulating mountains, the river meanders like a crystal jade belt, and the water is fierce.

In a river bend surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are hundreds of large and small houses row upon row. This is Mapo County, and it is also the largest deep-water wharf in Hengzhou.

Every two hours, there will be a four-story ship sailing out of the river bend, either south or north,

As for those idle speedboats and small sailboats, they shuttle back and forth non-stop, and merge into the river from here, connecting all directions.

The only land entrance to Mapo County is in the west. It is a commercial road opened among the high mountains. Amidst the melodious bells, there are endless business travelers.

The four of Yingzhen and the others arrived here at noon on the eighth day of April, and temporarily stayed in a bed and breakfast inn not far from the entrance. Every inn here can provide guests with various information about the ship's departure, and will take you Save time and complete all boarding procedures.

Chu Qingqing packed all the luggage in the carriage together with the waiter in the shop, and then discounted the carriage. After finishing all this, under the guidance of the waiter, he went to the registration office of Hewan Wharf to look for a reservation for the building boat going north accommodation.

Most of the residents in the county are engaged in the ferry business, and there are relatively few fishermen, but the whole county still has a strong fishy smell, and the air is humid and unpleasant. Ying Zhen felt that his clothes were contaminated strange smell,
The room was even darker and damper, so Yingzhen simply ordered Xiaoer to move out the tables and chairs and sat down on the ventilated verandah of the inn.

Qingwan didn't want to get too close to Jiang Peining, so she went down the steps and wandered around in some nearby shops. Her appearance was already very attractive, and Jiang Peining was even more attractive.

Yingzhen is sitting on the side of the street not far from the entrance. Almost all the people who pass by the door of this inn will linger on Jiang Peining for a moment. Everyone's eyes are full of splendor, even if they have walked a long way , I still can't help but look back again and again.

Jiang Peining didn't take this seriously. She was used to such scenes since she was a child. At first, she would send her subordinates to admonish such people. When she was in a bad mood, she would even kill people. But over time, this kind of situation still cannot be eliminated. , she became indifferent.

She looked at Yingzhen and said with a faint smile: "Xingzhetang has now returned to Guangmingding, Feng Bing was executed, and Jiang Qinghui exposed his body to the sun for three days as a warning to others. Now the killer in Xingzhetang seems to have regrown The fierce beast with fangs can exert its greatest advantage only under the meticulous arrangement and control of Linhui Palace. This is like the same sword, but it depends on who is holding the sword. When Shui Xiu came that day, he said , Jiang Qinghui has probably already left Guangmingding, do you think she is coming to you? Or is she coming to me?"

Ying Zhen leaned on a chair whose tenon had been loosened, with her arms resting lazily on the armrests, and looked at the bustling crowd. During this period of time, Shui Xiu had brought back news twice, but as to whether Jiang Qinghui After leaving Guangmingding, Shuixiu himself was not sure.
"I don't know either. Maybe she left Guangmingding because she had other things to do."

Jiang Peining shrugged helplessly, and changed the subject:

"Ning'er had heard about Liuyun Guanshuixiu Yaodao before. At that time, he thought that he was just a perverted, cunning and evil Taoist in your holy sect, but he didn't expect that his information network would be so huge. , It seems that there is no news in the world that can be concealed from him, but Ning'er is very curious. Every time Shui Xiu brings back news, he always says: "The villain learned from a friend, the villain heard from a friend , a friend of the villain told me, "Ning'er really wants to know, how many friends does he have?"

Yingzhen also laughed out loud when she heard this. She had asked Shuixiu this question in private, and the old boy answered very simply, saying that no real friend can get any news from him, and a friend who can bring him news They are not real friends, they just do what they like and take what they need.

Shui Xiu once said very proudly that in today's world, in terms of the ability to collect intelligence, he can be firmly ranked among the top three.

The first one is of course Li Fang, the eunuch and cat next to Emperor Li Yuanqian,

The second one is Zhu Sixue, who opened various lists such as [Langtao List], [Youth List] and so on.

Then Shuixiu admitted that he was ranked third. As for how he collected the information, Ying Zhen didn't ask in detail, and Shuixiu didn't say much.

Seeing that Ying Zhen didn't say a word, Jiang Peining felt bored, and set his eyes on the street, looking at all kinds of passers-by.

At the entrance, with a burst of noise, more than a dozen officers and soldiers with swords rode into the county seat. Judging from the armor on their bodies, they were not ordinary soldiers in ordinary yamen. I saw that their left hands never took off the scabbard, and their eyes were as fixed as eagles. He stopped and patrolled among the crowd, as if he was looking for something.

When Jiang Peining saw it, he smiled and pushed Yingzhen aside,

"Ning'er recognizes them. This is the Flying Fish Guard of the Shannan Road General Manager's Mansion. Everyone is a one-of-a-kind expert. The one who can make them search is not a simple person. Why don't you compare with Ning'er? Let's see Let's see who can find their target before these flying fish guards, whoever finds it first will win, how about it?"

Ying Zhen happily said:
"it is good!"

The crisp sound of horseshoes passed by the inn, and the eyes of more than a dozen flying fish guards glanced at Yingzhen and Jiang Peining, and then stopped paying attention to them.

And these two top masters, who are one of the few in the world, let go of their spiritual sense at the same time and searched in Hewan County, which is less than three miles away. To find some clues in the fragments,
Jiang Peining finds it very interesting. This is not only a contest of cultivation, but also a very high expression of personal judgment ability.

"Zhang Lang, don't worry about this old horse, let's go, let's find a small boat to get out of here first,"

"No, if we don't sell the horses, the little money we have on us won't be enough for two days' food after we pay the boat fare. We don't care. Qi'er and Yun'er have to fill their stomachs, right?"

"I'll talk about this later, it's not advisable to stay here any longer, so come with me,"

"Don't, don't, it won't take long."

"Clang" sound,
The Qingming sword beside Yingzhen was suddenly unsheathed, shot into the sky, drew a blue arc, and flew towards the pier.

Jiang Peining at the side changed his expression, shook his head and smiled wryly:
"You win."

on the pier,
A young woman in a light green gown dragged a man carrying a bookcase and walked hurriedly.

In a small open area by the pier, several jugglers were performing various skills. Two pink children crowded in the front with a candied haws each, watching the performance excitedly. At this moment, the two of them suddenly felt the neckline tighten, and the whole body jumped into the air and jumped out of the crowd.

The young woman in the green shirt kept one in each hand, and boarded the embankment with her husband, complaining:
"The three of you are more troublesome than the other. It's really exhausting me."
