Reborn Princess Chasing Her Husband Crematorium

It was already night, the Moyang River was sparkling, and the port near Xicheng was filled with many official ships.

On the largest official ship, Lin Mici was wearing official uniform, and standing beside him was another man in official uniform.

This man's name was Liu Fengnian. He was the commander-in-chief of the eight towns from the south to the southwest. He was responsible for the transportation of official salt and dealing with water bandits all year round.

Although Liu Fengnian was the commander-in-chief, he looked round and his belly was swollen like a pregnant woman.

"Sir, the water bandits probably won't come today." Liu Fengnian said to Lin Mu with a smile.

As an imperial envoy, Lin Muci took the emperor's token. As soon as he arrived in the south, he found Liu Fengnian and told him today's plan.

Five official salt boats were scheduled to cross the river today, and Lin Muci also received news that water bandits were coming to intercept the boats, so he prepared to catch turtles in an urn.

He changed the news that the official ship was scheduled to pass Linjiang City at 3:00 pm to the outside world to 4:00 pm, and mobilized the Linxi navy around to prepare for the water bandits' attack.

However, the official ship had already passed Linxi City at this time, and the time had reached 11:04, but the water bandits did not appear.

There was no expression on Lin Mici's face, and he stared at the distant horizon of Moyang River silently.

Liu Fengnian couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

After a long time, Lin Mici turned around and glanced at his "master". In this look, there was a meaning of "what do you think?"

This "Master" is Tang Zongjiu.

Lin Muci arrived at Chunfeng City one day earlier than planned. As soon as he entered the city, he first came to the "Tang Mansion".

Lin Muci, Tang Zongjiu and Shen Qing discussed the matter of suppressing bandits all night.

In Lin Mici's view, no matter what the outside world says or what the specific situation is, you can only have a deep understanding of it once you practice it yourself.

So, after Lin Muci revealed his identity and contacted the officialdom in the south, today's incident happened.

The information that an official ship carrying official salt passed by Linjiang City at three o'clock in the morning could not be more true.

But the water bandit didn't show up.

Tang Zongjiu shook his head, indicating that this was not the place to talk.

Liu Fengnian on the side always smiled: "I wonder where did you know that there will be water bandits coming to intercept you today?"

"As far as I know, the water bandits in the south have not spared any official ships recently." Lin Muci turned around and said, "Today there are five official ships, not only salt, but also other goods. The water bandits have What's the reason not to come?"

"My lord, you don't know something," Liu Fengnian said. "This water bandit is acting eccentricly. When he wants to grab it all depends on his mood. Maybe the water bandit is in a bad mood today, so he temporarily changed his mind and stopped coming."

"I dare to ask Mr. Liu how he knew that water bandits rob official salt based on their mood?" Lin Muci asked.

Liu Fengnian was choked.

Do you want him to say, "The water bandits robbed people not because of their emotions, but because of their secret messages"?

Seeing that Liu Fengnian was silent and Lin Muci did not ask any further questions, he walked slowly towards the bow of the ship and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

Liu Fengnian was behind Lin Muci, looking at Lin Muci's back with an unkind look on his face.

"Of course I don't know. I'm just guessing." Liu Fengnian said.

"Master Liu, as the commander-in-chief of the Eight Towns, does he rely on guesswork to do things?" Lin Muci continued.

The smile that originally curled up the corners of Liu Fengnian's lips gradually dimmed.

"In order for the imperial envoy to say 'there are bandits today', I gathered four thousand officers and soldiers, launched five warships, found the best place to hide, and even prepared all kinds of gunpowder." Liu Fengnian said, " But now there is no sign of the water bandits."

Liu Fengnian sneered inadvertently: "How do you judge that the water bandits will definitely come?"

After Liu Fengnian asked the question, he waited for Lin Muci's answer.

As long as Lin Muci replied, "Of course I learned about it from the water bandits," he could take the opportunity to attack.

For example, "Master Lin, how did you get this kind of news from the water bandits?" "The first time Master Lin came to the south, someone was able to send you news from the water bandits." "Will Master Lin be Cheated?"

However, Lin Mici did not speak.

After a while, Lin Muci got off the bow of the boat and walked up to Liu Fengnian.

"At the same time tomorrow, there will still be five ships from Guanyan passing here. The people and ships you brought are still here."

Lin Mu resigned.

Liu Fengnian's breathing slowed down for half a beat.

Immediately, he put on a professional smile and said, "Your Majesty's orders will be obeyed naturally."

"So we're here today?" Liu Fengnian asked.

"Yeah." Lin Muci nodded, "Let's break up."

After saying that, Lin Mici and Tang Zongjiu left the port together.

Liu Fengnian sneered after watching the two people leave.

A young number one scholar wanted to come to the south to stir up trouble within a year after entering officialdom. Should he be called naive or stupid?

There are countless skeletons of imperial envoys buried at the bottom of the Moyang River. Apparently, one more person will be added soon.

Thinking of this, Liu Fengnian shook his head and left with a group of lieutenants.

The next day, same place, same time.

Five more official ships passed the same port.

The configuration was exactly the same as yesterday, and Lin Mici was still standing on the bow of the main ship.

The water bandit still didn't show up.

Liu Fengnian still said: "Sir, it seems that the water bandits will not come today."

Lin Mu said nothing and looked at each other with "Master" Tang Zongjiu.

The same goes for the third and fourth days.

At the same time, the water bandits' patience was dwindling.

In four days, twenty official ships passed in vain, which was a huge loss to the water bandits.

Also impatient was Liu Fengnian.

In the past few days, Liu Fengnian has received more and more protests from water bandits.

As Lin Muci's subordinate, Liu Fengnian couldn't complain.

For this reason, Liu Fengnian was very troubled.

Twenty official ships for four consecutive days was something he never expected.

He could only continue to work on the surface and appease the water bandits secretly, which was simply a disservice to both sides.

This continued until the seventh day.

The water bandits told Liu Fengnian that they couldn't bear it anymore.

Thirty official ships in six days, how much money was lost?

Seeing that Liu Fengnian could not be persuaded, he could only let the water bandits take action once.

Therefore, on this night, Liu Fengnian specially put on his own accessories and asked his men to pay attention to their safety. They would meet the water bandits soon.

This kind of "drama" will be performed several times every time the imperial minister comes.

Lin Mici looked like a weak scholar who could not help but be frail. It was not impossible that he died of banditry accidentally.

Thinking of this, Liu Fengnian's expression darkened.

No imperial envoy dared to lose the cargo of thirty official ships as soon as he took office.

At the same time and place, the official ship that was supposed to appear did not appear.

Liu Fengnian suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Sir, is today's official ship delayed?" Liu Fengnian stepped forward and walked to Lin Mici's side and asked.

Lin Muci glanced sideways at Liu Fengnian.

"Who told you that there was an official ship today?" Lin Muci said calmly, "It seems that Lord Liu has more information than me."

This sarcasm was like a slap in Liu Fengnian's face.

Liu Fengnian was not stupid, he realized that he had been fooled.

Lin Mu said that five official ships passed by on the first and second day of his resignation, but he said nothing more after that.

So when did everyone start to assume that official ships would pass by "every day"?

As for whether the official ship on the third to sixth days was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, the "habit" of six consecutive days naturally led everyone to assume that there was also an official ship on the seventh day.

But just today, when the water bandits couldn't bear it anymore, the official ship was gone.

Liu Fengnian had to send out the news that there was no official ship.

He took a step back, but was stopped by Lin Mici.

"Where are you going, Mr. Liu?" Lin Muci asked.

"I remembered that I have something else to do and I need to leave temporarily for a while." Liu Fengnian said politely.

"What other matters need Mr. Liu to deal with now during the suppression of bandits?" Lin Muci asked.

"Still," Lin Mici looked at Liu Fengnian.

"Master Liu, do you want to let someone know?" Liu Fengnian didn't dare to move after hearing this.

The label of "whistleblower" is too big for Liu Fengnian to bear.

"This is a subordinate who neglected his duty." Liu Fengnian stood back to where he was.

He looked at the lake, and it seemed that things couldn't go better today.

When the water bandit's boat appeared in front of everyone at three o'clock in the morning, Liu Fengnian's mouth drooped, his expression tightened, and his body stiffened.

"What a coincidence. There was no movement from the water bandits in the past six days, but today there is no official ship but they came." Lin Muci said with a half-smile but not a smile.

"Yeah..." Liu Fengnian looked at the water bandits' boats, wondering where his thoughts were wandering.

"Master Liu, hurry up and prepare to meet the enemy." Lin Muci said from the side.

Liu Fengnian kept his eyes fixed on the bandit's boat and made no response.

"Master Liu?" Lin Mici asked again.

"What?" Liu Fengnian came back to his senses, "Ah... yes, to meet the enemy."

The question is, how to meet the enemy?

They had been "in love" with the water bandits for so many years. Every time an "imperial envoy" came to inspect, it was all an act. In the end, the water bandits got the money, Liu Fengnian secured his position, and the "imperial envoy" could do the job, killing three birds with one stone.

But today Lin Muci's appearance means that these water bandits will never come back.

Liu Fengnian had no choice but to take action.

How should we perform this scene?

Liu Fengnian's men are used to acting, and now they don't know that they are really going to suppress the water bandits. As long as people from both sides meet, their secrets will be completely exposed.

If it doesn't work, if you don't do one thing or the other, Lin Muci will die here.

Thinking of this, Liu Fengnian was heartbroken.

Soon, the water bandits were getting closer and closer to the ship, and Lin Muci could even see the figure standing on the water bandits' main ship.

"I'll go meet him later." Tang Zongjiu said quietly from the side.

"Be careful." Lin Mu said.

That day in the Tang Mansion, when Lin Mici, Tang Zongjiu and Shen Qing were discussing countermeasures, they decided to test the bottom line of the water bandits and the southern government first.

Hence the situation on the first night.

The moment the water bandits didn't show up, Lin Mici knew that their news had been leaked.

This makes sense.

That night, Lin Muci did two things.

First, arrange for people to communicate with other official ships that are about to pass through the Linxicheng port, so that they can transit the port the next day and ensure their safety.

Lin Muci is the imperial envoy this time, so the official ship will naturally obey him.

Second, he sent people to secretly monitor Liu Fengnian closely and intercepted all of Liu Fengnian's letters.

Soon, all the contents of the letters between him and the water bandits fell into Lin Muci's eyes.

Liu Fengnian's life has been so good these past few years, and he has not taken any measures at all regarding "prevention".

Therefore, knowing the information about both the enemy and ourselves, Lin Mici played a word game.

He deliberately still arranged for five official ships to pass through the port every day without mentioning it.

It wasn't until he intercepted the information that the water bandits couldn't help but want to intercept the boat that he made the arrangements for today, the seventh day.

Lin Mici looked around. The officers and soldiers around him looked relaxed, showing no signs of nervousness or preparation for war. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Yeah." Tang Zongjiu slightly began to mobilize his internal energy, ready to attack at any time.

Soon, the water bandits' ship arrived at the port. The moment the two ships touched, Lin Muci gave an order.

"kill!"

Before Liu Fengnian could react, a group of aggressive and well-trained officers and soldiers suddenly rushed out from around him. They each held weapons in their hands and ran to their own ships, and then rushed towards the water bandits' ship.

Liu Fengnian and the water bandits didn't even know that these officers and soldiers existed.

As soon as the two parties were about to start "acting", they saw the officers and soldiers of the court killing the water bandits on sight.

The water bandits were completely unprepared.

In a short time, the water bandits killed and injured many people.

It wasn't until real "death" and bloodshed began to take place on the deck that the water bandits realized that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were "serious."

"Liu Fengnian, are you kidding me?!" the water bandit leader roared in the crowd in the direction of the imperial ship.

Liu Fengnian's eyelids twitched. He pretended not to hear anything and didn't respond to a word.

"You guys, kill--!" the water bandit leader shouted to his men.

The water bandits saw with their own eyes that the officers and soldiers did not act like they used to, but actually killed themselves, and the blood in their bones had been stirred up.

At this time, the water bandit leader gave the order, and everyone picked up their weapons and started fighting with the officers and soldiers who came over.

"Kill--!"

For a time, the two parties were fighting together.

At this moment, Liu Fengnian was being roasted on the rack by Lin Muci.

Lin Mici gave him a wrong "misleading", which led him to believe that there were also "five official ships" today, and then sent this wrong information to the water bandits.

In order to do his "own job" well at the beginning of the period, it is understandable that he took the initiative to suppress the "temper" of the water bandits, because every time a new "imperial envoy" came, the officials here had to feel the other person's temper.

Lin Muci settled it all.

Now, Liu Fengnian couldn't explain to the water bandits why there was no official ship today. The two parties had already started fighting. The water bandits would definitely find out that this was a "trap" and it was the result of Liu Fengnian's betrayal of them. No matter what Liu Fengnian did afterwards Even if you explain, the water bandits won’t listen.

He relies on the Liu family, otherwise how could he be able to take the position of commander-in-chief of the eight towns?

He sat firmly in this position for five years, all thanks to his obedience.

As soon as Lin Muci came, he was "annihilated" in just seven days.

What will he do after Lin Muci leaves?

He had been working as a dog for the Liu family and the water bandits for five years, and the emperor had never given him any trouble. He would definitely die miserably once Lin Muci left.

Over the years, there have been various "imperial envoys". Who can beat them?

Thinking of this, Liu Fengnian became cruel and ordered to his officers and soldiers: "Kill!"

When the officers and soldiers heard this order, they all hesitated.

Who to kill? Kill the water bandits or the imperial envoy?

Lin Muci sneered when he saw this scene.

While Lin Muci sneered, Tang Zongjiu rushed out like an arrow, pointing his sword at the water bandit leader who was shouting at Liu Fengnian.

Soon, the sound of metal collision was heard not far away.

"Liu Fengnian, how dare you betray us? Just wait for your whole family to die!" the water bandit leader roared.

This sentence has completely exposed Liu Fengnian. Liu Fengnian's eyes were sharp and he roared at his soldiers: "What are you still doing? Kill!"

The officers and soldiers looked at each other. At this time, someone stepped forward and asked, "Sir, do you want us to kill the water bandits or the imperial envoy?"

Liu Fengnian pulled out a long sword from the side of his fat body: "Are there not many imperial envoys who died in Moyang River?!"

After saying that, he pointed the tip of his sword at Lin Muci: "If he doesn't die today, it will be you and me who will die! Why don't you do it?!"

"Liu Fengnian, why don't you do it yourself?" Lin Mici was still smiling at this time, "Is it because life is so good that you can't do it?"

"Idiot." Liu Fengnian pointed his long sword at Lin Mici's chest, "Even if all the water bandits are buried here today, you won't survive tomorrow."

"Oh?" Lin Muci looked relaxed, "Then I'll wait and see."

"I'll see if you can still smile after today!" After saying that, Liu Fengnian stabbed Lin Mici on the body, "Go to hell!"

"Dang-" there was a sword sound, and the sword in Liu Fengnian's hand was ejected in less than a breath.

Shen Yi appeared behind Lin Muci dressed in black and wearing a mask.

Liu Fengnian was shocked and wanted to pick up the sword, but Shen Yi easily caught and tied him up.

"What are you doing standing there?! Haven't you killed enough imperial envoys?!" Liu Fengnian shouted at the officers and soldiers standing aside, "Why don't you take action quickly?!"

Lin Mici gave Shen Yi a look, and Shen Yi took out a piece of linen and blocked Liu Fengnian's mouth.

"Uh-! Uh-!" Liu Fengnian's fat body kept twisting.

However, no one paid attention to him at this moment.

Lin Mici turned around and faced all the officers and soldiers around him and said, "Everyone, the number of officers and soldiers I brought today is twice as many as yours."

After saying that, many officers and soldiers around him looked flustered.

"These officers and soldiers are the elite troops of the imperial court. All the water bandits will die here tonight." Lin Muci paused and said, "After killing the water bandits, I will come to settle today's affairs."

All the officers and soldiers suddenly looked at each other.

"However, I know that many of you are involuntarily, so today you just need to point your weapons at the water bandits. On behalf of the imperial court, I will forgive you all. Moreover, I can promise that if you kill a water bandit, the court will reward you with five For two taels of silver, if you kill a water bandit leader, the court will reward you with fifty taels of silver."

Lin Muci said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the surrounding officers and soldiers suddenly lit up.
