Chapter 271 Preparations Before Departure
In order to persuade Mr. Dongxi to go north to Jianle City, Zhou Chennian prepared at least three sets of arguments, but as soon as he mentioned it, Mr. Dongxi immediately decided to go north to Jianle City. This success made Zhou Chennian feel heavy of.

Mr. Dongxi's decision on this matter is far from his prediction. Judging from this matter, he knows nothing about Mr. Dongxi. When he arrived in Jianle City, how could he What about Mr. Dongxi for Counselor Shizi?
Zhou Chennian, full of anxiety, met Gu Yan and told about Mr. Dongxi's plan to go north.

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "When Dongxi goes north, the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely be at peace. If Dongxi can be allowed to follow our ideas a few steps, the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River will not be able to do so until we come back. What's the big deal. The next step is Jiang Jianrong."

"Jiang Caosi here, the son has already thought about it?" Zhou Shennian looked at the smile on Gu Yan's face.

"Well, what Dongxi thinks of me reminds me."

Gu Yan's words stopped. In the past, he was ignorant and fearless. In the past two years, he carefully avoided his former self. Dongxi's opinion of him reminded him. Second, the rampage in the past was reckless, but also sharp, and it was not useless.

"I'll go find Jiang Jianrong and tell me directly. Jiang Jianrong's family is only rich but not expensive. He was able to sit in a caosi in his early forties. In addition to his talents, he also has that rare wit and exquisiteness. I found him , he must form a good relationship with Prince Rui's residence. With him to appease the local officials, there will be no big troubles in Huang Xianzhou and the wharf."

"I think so too." Zhou Chennian smiled flatteringly.

"I'll just take a walk." Gu Yan stood up and walked out.

Zhou Chennian stood up after him, took two steps, and said hesitantly, "Master."

"Huh?" Gu Yan paused, looked at Zhou Chennian, Zhou Chennian said in a heartbroken way: "I thought it would be extremely difficult to persuade Mr. Dongxi to go north, but unexpectedly, I..."

"Huh?" Gu Yan looked at Zhou Chennian who was speechless, and laughed, "Do you feel guilty about the wrong judgment?"

"It's not all about guilt, I know too little about Mr. Dongxi, I'm afraid I won't know how to be a counselor in the future." Zhou Chennian said bravely.

"It's nothing. You'll know after a few fights. By the way, you can go to Huang Xianzhou's side. It's okay if you talk to him a few more times." Gu Yan turned and went out.

"Okay, let's go now? Or?" Zhou Chennian asked after two steps.

"The sooner the better. Go directly to Pingjiang Bieye from Linhai Town and wait for me."

"Okay, then I'll go now."

Zhou Chennian stopped in his tracks, watched Gu Yan walk away, and raised his voice to ask people to prepare their horses.

........................

Jiang Jianrong and Jiang Caosi received a message from the servant of the palace: the prince is coming to pay a visit, and was thinking about the word "paying a visit", when the concierge rushed in: the prince has arrived at the gate of Cao Si's yamen!

Jiang Caosi yelled to invite Mr. Ge quickly, while trotting out to meet him.

With his hands behind his back, Gu Yan gaited leisurely, greeted the eyes of curious officials all over the courtyard with a smile.

Jiang Cao Siji rushed out, met Gu Yan at the second gate, bowed in salute.

"There are some things I want to entrust to you. I thought, it's best to come to the door to ask for help, so I came here rashly." Gu Yan's expression and tone were extremely casual, but Jiang Caosi raised it with all his heart.

It's very unusual for Shizi to look like this.

Mr. Ge rushed over quickly, standing on the porch and dare not move forward.

Seeing Mr. Ge, Gu Yan smiled and waved, and Mr. Ge hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Let's go into the room and talk." Gu Yan led the way into the upper room where Jiang Caosi worked.

Gu Yan entered the room, looked around carefully, turned to look at Jiang Caosi, and said with a smile: "I'm a little anxious, so I'll just say it straight. I want to go back and leave in two days. The case of the Customs Department is handled by Huang Xianzhou. The trial will proceed as usual, but you should have heard about Huang Xianzhou. So, I wrote a letter to Yang Shuai and asked Yang Qifan to stay in Linhai Town until I come back. With Yang Wu here, you don’t have to pay attention to Linhai Town, but Linhai Town Outside, I will bother Jiang Caosi."

Gu Yan cupped his hands at Jiang Caosi, and was about to turn around, but Jiang Caosi was stunned, and then turned around and asked: "My son, I don't understand what you said."

"I'm not young anymore, so I have to go back to discuss important marriage matters." Gu Yan stood there, explained seriously, and tapped the whip on Jiang Caosi's shoulder, "There's no need to give it away."

"Huh?" Jiang Caosi was stunned, Gu Yan had already taken two or three steps forward.

"Master!" Jiang Caosi picked up the front of his gown and was about to chase, but Mr. Ge grabbed him, "Dong Weng, don't chase."

Jiang Caosi stood and watched Gu Yan go out the second door, "What's wrong with him?"

"I heard about this the day before yesterday." Mr. Ge lowered his voice, "The letter from the government school, I heard that the capital's palace knew about Miss Li, but I don't know what the palace said. I just know that Shizi asked the fourth wife of the Wei family to accompany that Miss Li to Jianle City, and said that he would leave in two days."

Jiang Caosi raised his eyebrows and was speechless.

Mr. Ge chuckled, "It seems that the son of the world is really interested in that Miss Li, and he is really anxious, and this urgency has revealed his true colors. Isn't he just like the one we saw in the capital. "

Jiang Caosi frowned and didn't say anything. After a moment, he said with a wry smile: "But these few words of his, alas, the first two sentences are nothing, but I should have heard about Huang Xianzhou. He didn't say what he heard. Don't pay attention to Linhai Town's warning to us not to interfere in Linhai Town's affairs, but what about the last sentence? Other than Linhai Town, leave it to me, other than this, leave it to me, where should we go?"

The wry smile on Mr. Ge's face became stronger, "Also, the son of the elder son looked anxious, and he made it clear that he didn't want to say more."

"You said that his appearance just now was the same as he used to be in the capital, but in the past two years, we can all see if he looks the same frequently!" Jiang Caosi slapped his forehead, "You have to ask clearly, my son. That Mr. Zhou beside you?"

"Well, I'm going to find Mr. Zhou right now." Mr. Ge stood up and walked out.

........................

Huang Xianzhou and Mr. Yao stood on the big rock outside the camp, watching the sun jumping out of the horizon, and the golden light sprinkled on the endless sea.

Huang Xianzhou took a deep breath towards Chaoyang, "Vibrant!"

Mr. Yao also took a deep breath towards Chaoyang, "That's right, Dabu."

Huang Xianzhou turned his head and glanced at Mr. Yao, "You really believe those nonsense."

"Spirits and monsters pay attention to absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, so there must be some truth." Seeing Huang Xianzhou's rebuttal, Mr. Yao hurriedly continued: "Even saints say that they respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. Even saints never say no."

"Then take a few more breaths." Huang Xianzhou said unhappily.

Mr. Yao laughed and was about to speak when a soldier shouted and waved at the two of them from the gate.

"Call us." Mr. Yao gestured to Huang Xianzhou.

Huang Xianzhou saw it too, and he and Mr. Yao slid off the boulder one after the other, and walked quickly towards the gate.

Zhou Chennian greeted Huang Xianzhou, and smiled, "Let's talk outside, the scenery is nice."

The two long followers carried two cloth chairs and put them down following Zhou Shennian's signal.

Seeing that there were only two senior chairs, Mr. Yao said hello to Zhou Shennian and went in through the gate.

"The son is here?" Huang Xianzhou looked towards the camp.

"No. Let's sit there. I arrived after a while, and I'm very tired." Zhou Chennian supported his waist and sat down slowly.

"What happened?" Huang Xianzhou sized up Zhou Shennian, his heart arose.

"A little thing." Zhou Chennian moved and sat comfortably. He watched Huang Xianzhou sit down, "The fourth wife of the Wei family accompanied Miss Li to set off for Jianle City. The son is worried, so he wants to go back."

Zhou Shennian paused and looked at Huang Xianzhou.

Huang Xianzhou was stunned for a moment before he realized, "About marriage?"

"Hmm!" Zhou Chennian hummed affirmatively.

"What about the case? What about the Customs Department?" Huang Xianzhou blurted out.

"My son has made all the arrangements. You just have to try the case in your hand, write an abbreviation every three days and hand it to the son, and you can hand it to General Yang. General Yang will be stationed in Linhai Town until the son returns." Zhou Chennian said .

"What if criminals need to be apprehended? I don't care about officials, and General Yang is not allowed to interfere." Huang Xianzhou frowned.

"If you need to arrest criminals, you can go to various yamen according to the rules, just like when Shizi was in Jiangnan." Zhou Shennian looked at Huang Xianzhou.

"Is the son back?" Huang Xianzhou asked after a moment of silence.

"Why do you ask that?" Zhou Chennian laughed.

"My son is calm and meticulous. He always makes plans before acting. Suddenly returning to Beijing for marriage is really too child's play." Huang Xianzhou stared at Zhou Shennian.

Zhou Shennian leaned forward and approached Huang Xianzhou, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is stationed in Jiangnan for only one thing: to rectify the Sea Tax Department. By now, you have also seen that the Sea Tax Department is closely related to the people's livelihood and the administration of the entire Jiangnan people's livelihood. How long will it take to straighten out the customs department? Half a year? One year?"

"Not only Jiangnan, but the Customs Department is also closely related to the imperial court." Huang Xianzhou sighed, "One year is too urgent, you have to be patient, two or three years, four or five years, or even seven or eight years."

"Could it be that the eldest son has been delayed for seven or eight years without getting married? We should go back and resolve the major marriage affairs while it's just beginning." Zhou Shennian patted Huang Xianzhou.

"Yes." Huang Xianzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry. In Linhai Town, if you need anything, you can talk to the shopkeeper He. Outside of Linhai Town, Jiang Caosi is a good person." Zhou Shennian looked at Huang Xianzhou and said with a smile.

"Jiang Caosi? Okay, I understand." Huang Xianzhou nodded repeatedly.

........................

A thin moon appears and disappears in the clouds.

Gu Yan was wearing a silver and white gown, looking at Wu Miaozhen who was kneeling in front of him.

"The Chengzi gang is almost closed?" Gu Yan asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"I'm going to leave for a whole year, maybe half a year. In this half a year, the rules will remain the same, other than that." Gu Yan paused, looked down at Wu Miaozhen, Wu Miaozhen raised his head, met Gu Yan's gaze, and waited. he went on.

"Your Jianghu affairs naturally follow the rules of the Jianghu." Gu Yan said every word, very slowly.

Wu Miaozhen looked at Gu Yan for a moment, then held her breath slightly and asked, "The new northerners took away a lot of jobs."

"Well, this is your business." Gu Yan looked up at the crescent moon hidden in the clouds.

"Jiangbei's Red Fox Gang, Wanzi Gang, Shunzihao, Wu's, Heitou, everyone has backers." Wu Miaozhen looked up at Gu Yan.

The crescent moon hides in the clouds, and Gu Yan's person and face blend into the darkness.

"Under Putian, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the subject of the king." Gu Yan looked down at Wu Miaozhen, "I can do it myself."

Wu Miaozhen looked at Gu Yan who was submerged in the darkness, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up.

In the past six months, in this Linhai town, the kings and kings, the people of the rivers and lakes, followed the rules of the rivers and lakes, and resolved the disputes in the rivers and lakes.

On Shizi's side, these few words have given her the upper hand.

Wu Miaozhen looked around with a smile on her face. In the past six months, she will either die, or she will change the rules of the pier in Linhai Town!
