Idle courtiers

Chapter 105 Never heard such a strange request
There was chaos immediately, and the people on the boat fell into the river like dumplings.

After fluttering for a long time, everyone finally returned to the boat, dripping wet, in an indescribable embarrassment.

Unfortunately, it's February now, and I'm drenched all over, and shivering violently when blown by the river wind.

Everyone hurriedly took off their clothes and trousers, and sat naked on the boat. There were only ten strong men in the boat, but there was no one to tell.

Although Xia Yi was in a strong body, she couldn't help shivering from the cold.He looked at Zhou Nan and Zhixian Zhan, "Stop fighting, you two, you will die if you fall into the water in such a cold day."

A warrior in brocade clothes exclaimed: "Qianhu, drive post, drive note!"

I saw that he opened a brocade box that he carried with him, and saw that the few pieces of paper covered with red seals inside had been completely ruined by the river water.

The so-called driving post is a document issued by the central judiciary of the Ming Dynasty to arrest criminals, which is used as a customs clearance document and a diploma for road citations.

Xia Yi forced a smile: "The driver's sticker is broken, don't you still have the badge of our Jinyi pro-military?"

The wrestler trembled again: "Qianhu, your badge was torn off by your subordinates just now, and it fell into the river."

"What!" Xia Yi yelled sharply, without the slightest calm and gentle appearance before.

The Lishi knelt down in panic: "It's a matter, the villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die!"

Zhou Nan: "If you drop it, you will drop it. If yours is dropped, other people's badges are still there."

Xia Yi: "What do you know?"

Zhou Nan was annoyed by his being so rude, and said lightly, "Why, I still want to pick it up. How about you first engrave a seal on this boat gang, and make a mark."

"That's right, that's a good idea." Just now, he was fighting with Zhou Nan to death, and now he heard his allusion of caring for a boat and seeking a sword was interesting, and Zhan Tong couldn't help laughing.

"It's all your fault, you damn thing!" Xia Yi's eyes turned red, and she punched Zhan Tong in the stomach.

This punch was so powerful that it made a bang.

Poor Zhan Tong, although he has a creamy belly and was born with armor, he still couldn't stand this heavy blow.

Immediately he opened his mouth wide, blushing, and after a long time, he bent down and spit out yesterday's lunch into the Huaihe River with a wow.

Speaking of which, from noon yesterday to now, everyone has not eaten a grain of rice yet!

Seeing Xia Yi's ferocious face, everyone remembered that he was a fearsome Jin Yiwei, and they all trembled, and dared not say a word.

The boat traveled silently for a while, and when everyone was about to freeze, they boarded a big boat.After changing into clean clothes and drinking a bowl of hot soup, he finally regained his soul.

The boat sailed in the middle of the river, sailing smoothly, and went very fast.Xia Yi was not afraid of everyone getting away, so she let Zhou Nan and others walk around on the deck.It's a pity that Zhan Tong probably suffered serious internal injuries after that punch, and was lying sluggishly in the cabin, unable to move.

Leaning on the side of the boat, Zhou Nan saw the Nanshuimen of Andong County coming towards him, and passed behind him.

The county town where he fought was getting farther and farther away, and finally he couldn't see it.

Several times he couldn't bear to jump into the water and swam back to the county seat in one breath.

But he just thought about it, if he really did that, he would be courting death.

Not to mention these Jinyiwei's extraordinary skills, it's easy to catch him back.It is said that in such a cold day, if you really enter the water, you will be frozen in a short time.The Huai River is so wide that you can't swim to the shore until you die!
After going out for a day and a night by herself, and now being captured by Jin Yiwei, I don't know what Yunniang will be worried about now.

How can she live in Anton alone?

For the first time, Zhou Nan felt worried and sad, and his chest was sore. This is the so-called concern!
Fortunately, when Zhou Nan left Anton, she left a house, more than 500 taels of silver, and a few boats for Yunniang, enough for her to live.

Live on, live on, and reunite with Yunniang after passing this level.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure flashed in my heart, it was Miss Mei Er.After she knows this, will she be sad for me, Zhou Nan?
After a day of sailing, we arrived at Huai'an Mansion.

Two boats had already been prepared over there, and the three Jinyiwei were divided into two groups.

In one group, the two warriors escorted Master Zhan and Guixian Cheng to go first, and in the other group Xia Yi, Zhan Tong and Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan felt very strange, and asked Xia Yi what you were going to do, why we were separated, you are holding us both alone, are you afraid that we will escape?
Xia Yi smiled, and only said Zhou Zimu, you are a smart person, you would never be so reckless.The two of you are criminals, so naturally this officer will take care of you personally.Actually, I have no personal grievances with you.It's all official business, everyone cooperates with each other, and each goes their own way after arriving in Beijing.

Zhou Nan sighed: "Yes, it's a blessing, not a disaster. A disaster can't be avoided. Instead of escaping, it's better to face it bravely. Don't worry, we won't leave. After entering the Beiya in Beijing, please ask Qianhu to read We are in the same boat, so please take care of us in the same boat."

Escape, don't be kidding, there is nowhere to escape in the Ming Dynasty where there are guides everywhere.Let's talk about where to escape and go home. After returning home, people don't know how to follow them.Absconding in fear of crime, the crime is aggravated.

"It's interesting to talk about helping each other in the same boat." Xia Yi smiled and said: "Yes, don't worry, after this case is handed in, if the two of you come to my Beiya to drink tea, it will not be difficult. However, the two of you I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the grade."

That's right, the Beiya is an imperial prison.You are not an official of the fourth rank or above, or a famous person who is famous all over the world, so you are not qualified to live in it.It was said that a prisoner lived in a courtyard, and there was a small stove, office staff, civil servants, and guards, and the treatment was excellent.

It's like in modern society, you, a little rascal, want to live in Qincheng, is it worthy?

Thinking of this, not only Zhou Nan, but even the magistrate of Zhan County looked unlucky: "This county wants to live in Beiya, but this county is from the palace, and this county refuses to accept it."

Zhou Nan was not in a good mood: "Where is anyone going to prison crying and shouting? I have lived for 27 years, and I have never heard such a strange request." Feudal society, strict hierarchy, seniority.Even if you are in a prison cell, you have to pay attention to it. The world of officials is ridiculous.

Xia Yi laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, I have lived for 42 years, and I have never heard such a strange request."

After the boats were divided, the boats of Guixian Cheng, Master Zhan and others headed north.

Zhou Nan and the others turned south and arrived at Baoying within a day.Then came Gaoyou, and then Yangzhou.

After arriving in Yangzhou, the boat entered the Yangtze River and went down the river to the east. Within two days, I saw a circle of dilapidated and low city walls on the south bank, which turned out to be a city.

"We've reached the end of the land." Xia Yi let out a long breath: "You two, get off the boat and enter the city!"

Zhou Nan looked up, but saw "Jiangyin County" written on the tower.Immediately shocked: "Xia Qianhu, aren't we going to Beijing? You've traveled all the way south, and now you've even crossed the Yangtze River. What exactly do you want to do?"

Xia Yi: "I'm in Jiangyin and I have other business to deal with. When it's over, I'll escort you back to Beijing. Don't be impatient."

While talking, Zhan Tong suddenly vomited out all the lunch he had eaten earlier with a "wow", which was still bloodshot.

It turned out that he was hit by Xia Yi's furious blow that day, and he had already suffered inexplicable internal injuries.In the past few days, the boat has been exhausted and I can't bear it anymore.

After spitting out his lunch, poor Zhantong suddenly lost his strength and collapsed on the deck.
