Chapter 550 Eat the food!

When the anti-Japanese army set off from Yueqing, in order to rush to Beiji Island as soon as possible and surprise the Japanese pirates, they traveled at the fastest speed all the way, but it was different when they returned victorious.

Along the way, the speed of the boat was not fast, and Shen Yi was able to sit on the deck and enjoy the sea view, but it was a pity that he did not bring a hook and line, otherwise he could go fishing at sea, it would be considered a few days off.

Because the speed of sailing was very slow, Shen Yi's big ship docked at Yueqing Wharf on the fourth day.

Before Master Shen got off his horse, he saw a large group of people gathered on the pier, and Shen Yi recognized the person standing at the front.

Jiang Youde, the prefect of Wenzhou.

After Shen Yi disembarked from the big boat, the Jiang Manor respected him immediately, with a smile all over his face, he cupped his hands and said to Shen Yi: "Your Majesty leads the officials of Wenzhou Prefecture, congratulations to Mr. Shen for your victory!"

After he finished speaking, twenty or so Wenzhou government officials behind him stepped forward and bowed their hands to Shen Yi.

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, for the great victory in suppressing the Japanese pirates!"

Shen Yi was not wearing armor at the moment, and secondly, he was not wearing an official uniform, but just wearing ordinary civilian clothes. Facing this big battle, he was a little dazed for a while, and then he came back to his senses, and bowed his hands to Jiang Fuzun to return the salute: "Fu Zun is too polite."

If I remember correctly, this is the first time that Jiang Youde called himself a "lower official" in front of Shen Yi. After all, this mansion is a serious official of the fourth rank of the imperial court, and he is a civil servant of the fourth rank, which is more valuable than those military officials. many.

If it was in the past, he would never have called himself a subordinate in front of Shen Yi.

However, Mr. Shen is acting as an imperial envoy and acting for the king. It is reasonable for him to call him that.

Jiang Zhifu raised his head and glanced at Shen Yi, and said respectfully, "My lord has succeeded this time, not only will there be no Japanese pirates in the coast of Wenzhou Prefecture, but the entire coast of eastern Zhejiang will also not have large groups of Japanese pirates making trouble again!"

"Your Imperial Envoy has done a great job. Jiang, on behalf of the people of Wenzhou Prefecture and the people of the entire eastern Zhejiang Province, thank you for your kindness!"

Shen Yi smiled helplessly: "Fu Zun is well-informed. Before I landed, Fu Zun knew the news of the great victory."

Jiang Fuzun also showed a smile on his face, and said: "To tell the truth, my lord, after your lord led the troops to sea, the officials rushed from Yongjia to Yueqing, mainly to see if there is anything here that needs the help of the magistrate's yamen. In two days, your lord’s subordinates came back early and asked the Yueqing county government to help prepare a large army of rewards such as pigs and sheep, and the subordinate officials would know the victory of the anti-Japanese army when they asked about it.”

Jiang Youde's expression was sincere, and his tone was full of gratitude: "My lord was able to wipe out the Japanese pirates in eastern Zhejiang in two years. You are really a young hero..."

Shen Yi let out a foul breath, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Okay, don't be an adult. In terms of seniority, I am a junior of Fu Zun, and in terms of grade, I am far worse than Fu Zun. It's very embarrassing to call Fu Zun like this. Somebody."

"You are a Beijing official."

Jiang Fuzun smiled and said: "When you land, you are three ranks higher than our local officials. Besides, your lord is now an imperial envoy of the imperial court, acting on behalf of the king. Don't talk about me, even if our governor of Zhejiang sees you, he will probably call you "My lord."

"Besides..."

Jiang Fuzun smiled and said: "After the great victory on Beiji Island this time, your rank should also be raised."

He clapped his palms and said in admiration, "My lord is only less than 20 years old this year?"

Shen Yi bowed his head and calculated, shook his head and said, "It's over twenty."

"It's really promising."

Jiang Fuzun said with a smile: "To be honest, my lord, several superiors from the province are on their way here now, and they want to represent our local yamen, thank you and the anti-Japanese army who have made great achievements in suppressing the Japanese. "

He made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, my subordinate has already prepared a banquet for you to celebrate your victory, please go ahead."

Shen Yi glanced at Jiang Zhifu, and asked: "Master, Shen wants to get pigs and sheep?"

Jiang Zhifu smiled and said: "I have sent people to the camp of the Anti-Japanese Army, and invited twenty or thirty cooks to go there. I will definitely not treat the brothers of the Anti-Japanese Army badly."

Shen Yi nodded when he heard the words, then turned his head to look at Xue Wei: "Xue Qianhu, take your brothers back first, if the wine and meat over there are ready, just wait for Ling Qianhu and the others, let's leave in a few days It’s slow, and Ling Qianhu should be arriving in Yueqing soon.”

"I'm going to have a meal with Jiang Fuzun, and I'll go back to Daying later."

Xue Wei knew that the officialdom needed entertainment, and he couldn't refuse to give him any favors, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

Shen Yi looked at Ying Zhao, the magistrate of Yueqing who was standing behind Jiang Youde, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ying, this time we captured more than 2000 people from the Japanese pirates."

"Is your county government busy enough to come here?"

Mr. Ying had no choice but to smile bitterly, and then heaved a long sigh: "Just take your time if you're too busy. Don't worry, Ziheng, the county government will take care of them."

Only then did Shen Yi smile and said: "That's good, sir, go to the banquet with me?"

Ying Zhao glanced at Shangguan Jiang Youde.

Prefect Jiang also looked at Shen Yi and Ying Zhao meaningfully, and then smiled and said: "The county magistrate Ying is the landlord here, so naturally we want to go together."

"Go, go together."

When a group of officials was about to leave the pier, a middle-aged man in black strode towards Shen Yi over the crowd.

During this period, several officials wanted to stop him, but the middle-aged man easily pushed them away.

Jiang Zhifu was furious, and shouted: "Where did the unruly people come from, so ignorant of the rules?"

"Come on, call me and get out!"

Shen Yi hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, stepped forward to salute the middle-aged man and said, "Why is Marshal Lu still in Yueqing?"

The person in front of him is Lu Sheng, the commander of the inner guard.

Originally, according to the time calculation, Lu Sheng should have returned to Jiankang early.

Lu Sheng lowered his head slightly to Shen Yi, and said: "I was going back, but Jiankang sent an urgent letter, asking me to wait in Yueqing, and return to Jiankang with Master Shen after a while."

"During this time, I will be responsible for the safety of Chief Shen."

After all, the commander-in-chief of the inner guard looked at Jiang Youde and said indifferently: "Prefect Jiang, can I be included in this meal?"

Jiang Youde didn't know the origin of this middle-aged man at first, and he didn't take it seriously when he heard Shen Yi say the word "Wei Shuai". After all, the commander of the guard station is not a big deal to him indivual.

But when he heard the word Jiankang, something was wrong with his eyes.

Therefore, after Lu Sheng finished asking, Jiang Zhifu swallowed his saliva and looked at Shen Yi who was beside him: "Master Shen, this...is this?"

Shen Yi smiled and said: "The Commander of Internal Guards, Your Majesty's close friend."

Shen Yiyun's first sentence made Jiang Fuzun's legs weak, and he immediately took two steps back, making a gesture to kneel down to Lu Sheng: "I'm an official, the prefect of Wenzhou, I've seen my job..."

Lu Sheng grabbed him, shook his head lightly, and said, "Although this is an imperial envoy, it has nothing to do with the Wenzhou Yamen. Prefect Jiang doesn't need to be polite."

"For the safety of Master Shen, Lu can only have the audacity to have a meal with him."

"Trouble."

Prefect Jiang took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Shen Yi with pleading eyes.

Although the inner guard does not have the authority to supervise all officials, everyone knows that the inner guard is His Majesty's right-hand man and an important source of information for His Majesty. Lu Sheng, the emperor's right-hand man, is here, and the emperor is personally present...

In fact, there is not much difference.

The prefect of his place is naturally nervous.

Shen Yi smiled, and said, "Don't be alarmed, Fu Zun. Lu Weishuai is a very good-tempered person. Let's have a meal together and get to know each other. Maybe we can be friends in the future."

He looked at Lu Sheng, smiled and said, "Did Shuai Lu say that?"

Lu Sheng nodded lightly, but did not speak.

Ever since, Prefect Jiang could only accompany the two of them tremblingly to the tavern that had already been booked.

It wasn't until Shen Yi got into the carriage and Jiang Zhifu got into his sedan chair that the venerable man let out a sigh of relief.

It's just that the two legs are still trembling uncontrollably.

And in Shen Yi's carriage.

Lu Sheng looked at Shen Yi indifferently, and said, "Master Shen, the internal guards have already handed over the information about this Beiji Island battle."

"I don't know when Master Shen will write the report, so that His Majesty can confirm the news?"

……

Shen Yi was speechless.

Lu Sheng's words almost told him clearly that there were internal guards in his anti-Japanese army.

Master Shen sighed helplessly.

"Writing tonight..."
