Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

I thought again, burning my Sumu to death was probably nothing more than hugging grass and beating rabbits.

Could it be that the real target of Ma Quan and the forces behind him is the armory of the Changlu Salt Transport Envoy?

Su Mu froze, knowing that he had been involved in a major event.

For example, the Changlu Salt Transportation Envoy is equivalent to a central enterprise of later generations, and it is a provincial enterprise.This kind of unit is directly under the central government, and the local government has no jurisdiction. It can be said to be an independent world, and the officials in it are just like the emperor.No one restrains them, but they can do anything.

Su Mu's thoughts have been pulled away from the personal grievances between himself and Ma Quan, and have reached a higher level.

To be honest, Ma Quan and Su Mu didn't pay much attention to Ma Quan, who was just a low-level guy. Now that he knew that Ma Quan had set up an ambush in the armory, Su Mu didn't have any interest in throwing himself at him.It is really a last resort, the worst is to call a boat and go directly back to the capital.

As for how Queen Mother Zhang will deal with herself in the future, she can only blame herself for suffering.

However, Su Mu still had a strong interest in why Yansi wanted to burn the armory. He felt that this matter was not a small matter, and it might be another big disturbance.

What exactly is it, information, information, without information, there is no way of knowing.

After hearing Su Mu's words, Zong Zhen didn't take it seriously: "Brother Mei, you are making things complicated. Isn't it because Ma Quan wants to take revenge for what happened at the Banbidian inspection department last time? Everyone in Cangzhou knows that he belongs to Mr. Yang Tongzhi." Under my command, Yang Tongzhi has nothing to do with Yan Si. Just wait a minute, since I haven’t had a drink yet and I’m getting more strength, go and kill him first.”

Su Mu shook his head: "Don't worry, don't worry."

He already had an idea in his mind, and he was going to go to Guan Zhizhou to inquire about the news first. ,

Guan Zhizhou served as an official in Cangzhou for two terms, and he is familiar with the local situation, so he is not allowed to know about the Yansi.

Just as she was about to get up, she heard someone slamming on the door knocker: "Open the door, open the door, Zong Zhen, you fucking open the door for me!"

Hearing the voice, it was Wu Er Er who hadn't seen anyone for more than ten days.

Hearing Wu's second voice, someone in the courtyard exclaimed, but it was Zong Xiaomei: "Come here, come here."

Then he ran over happily: "Mr. Wu...it's you, why are you here..." There was a tremor in the voice.

"I don't want to come here either." There was a hint of anger in Wu's second son's tone, probably because he was very unhappy when he saw Zong Xiaomei's ugly face: "I see you are so happy."

Su Mu shouted: "Second brother, you came just in time, but you have caused me a lot of trouble, come in soon, where have you been?"

The second child: "So you are here, brother-in-law!" He shrank his neck: "I went to Shandong for a few days, and I got a letter saying that the old man is going back to Yangzhou, so I will come back now. Brother-in-law, your case I've heard that too, haha."

He touched his head in embarrassment, and continued: "I went to the inn just now, but you weren't there. I know about that. Don't say that you are suffering or not. I know who you are. The sky is falling." Don’t be afraid to come down.”

"Then why did you come here?"

Wu Laoer heard Su Mu's question, with a bad look on his face: "Father is here, you also know that the old man is going to be an upright official and has many soldiers under him, so he doesn't want to go to the post station to bother him. Now he lives on the official ship, call me Come over and ask brother-in-law to talk. Also, he said he wanted to meet his unmarried daughter-in-law's family, and the old man already knew about the engagement."

After finishing speaking, he sighed and drooped his head.

"Ah, Mr. Wu is here?" Su Mu hadn't seen Mr. Wu for half a year, but he was a little surprised.

"Wu... Elder Master wants to see us..." Zong Zhen stuttered, his face contorted with excitement.

Outside, Zongzhen's wife and sister also cheered.

Then, Xiaomei Zong burst into tears.The future husband wants to see her, which means that this marriage has been recognized by her husband's family, and a stone in her heart has finally landed.

Then, Zong Zhen's wife tried to persuade her again, and finally told Zong Xiaomei to stop crying.

Soon, Zongzhen brothers and sisters put on new clothes, went out with Su Mu and Wu Er Er, and walked to Shuiximen Wharf.

Because Shuiximen is close to the natural moat of the Grand Canal, the city gate was not closed, so only two old city guards were on duty.

When I got to the ground, I looked up and saw a row of official ships parked in the middle of the river. There were three ships in a row, all with lights on. They looked very dignified, and there were many soldiers standing on the ships.

"So many people?" Su Mu couldn't help asking.

The second child smiled and said: "The old man is a Yangzhou official and in charge of punishment. This time he escorted Xia Shui to Beijing. The money alone is enough to load two ships. It is not safe to bring more soldiers."

As he spoke, Wu Laoer took everyone on a small boat that had parked on the shore earlier, and rowed towards the official boat.

Zong Zhen whispered to Su Mu: "Brother Mei, since Master Wu is here, you can simply go with their boat. As for your family is small, don't worry, since it is inconvenient to take it to Yangzhou, why don't you settle it in Cangzhou. It's good to leave everything to Zong."

Hearing his words, Wu Er Er was overjoyed, and burst out laughing out loud.He was actually very proud of putting Su Mu together this time.

Su Mu smiled, but didn't answer.

Zongzhen's proposal is just one of the alternatives. Judging from the current situation, Mr. Wu's team is not small, so it may not be impossible to use it at a critical moment.

After coming to Cangzhou by myself, no matter what I do, I seem to be very passive.In the final analysis, it was power that was useless at hand. If it was in the capital, it only needed a wink, and Jin Yiwei's army would march over.

After the boat sailed for a short while, it arrived at Mr. Wu's official ship.

Seeing the lanterns full of boats and heavily armed soldiers, Rao Zong was so bold that he couldn't help but bow his head.

As for Zong Xiaomei, when has she ever seen such a battle, her thin body is trembling even more.

Su Mu also praised in his heart: It's just a small official of the seventh rank, so majestic.This local official is good, if you are a Beijing official, if you are not up to the fourth rank, it is nothing at all.Next year in Chunwei, if I win the Jinshi, that's fine. If I don't, I can ask for a chance to work in the local government when the emperor is in charge.

A man who looked like a master greeted him, saw Wu Lao Er and Su Mu, smiled and said: "Master is in the cabin!"

Su Mu: "Okay, I'll go see him."

He went in with his second child.

Zong Zhen also wanted to follow with his sister, but the master smiled and stopped them with his hand: "Wait a minute, let's go talk when Elder Master invites you."

Zong Zhen was a little puzzled, pointing at Su Mu's back: "How did he get in?"

Master: "You're talking about Mr. Su!" Youyou said, but didn't explain.

"Mr. Su...Isn't Mei Inspector...Isn't he the son-in-law of Mr. Wu?"

"Son-in-law!" The master laughed again, turned around and left without saying a word of nonsense.

Just like that, Zongzhen and his sister stood there suspiciously waiting.
