Chapter 171 I Take This Ship

"The princess suspects that the old man's Shangfang sword is a fake?" Dong Zhixing avoided the serious and did not answer Jinxi's question directly.With a sneer, he took a long bright yellow cloth bag from the person behind him.

The handle of the sword with a gold inlaid mouth engraved with dragon cloud patterns is exposed, and a two-foot-long bright yellow tassel hangs from the end of the handle, which is dazzling in gold.

Jin Xi shook her head, she really didn't doubt it.Anyang sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there are not many people who know the goods, so she dared to hold up the fake imperial envoy badge to scare people.Danling was already close to the capital, and under the eyes of the emperor, in front of all the officials of the state government, he used a fake Shangfang sword to scare people, it was purely courting death.A lunatic can't do such a stupid thing, and Dong Zhixing doesn't look like a lunatic at all.

"My princess is just curious. Master Dong showed his Shangfang sword. What crimes do you want to accuse this princess?" Jin Xi smiled slowly, "As far as I know, Shangfang's sword doesn't come out just by showing it. One is , When the officials represent the sky patrol hunting, they will only be invited out of the town hall when interrogating local officials who are corrupt and perverting the law. The second is that when you encounter a vassal king who interferes in local government affairs, please come out to frighten him. The third is to imprison Please come out and let the common people pay homage when the Fa is being punished on the spot. This princess is only entrusted by Prince Qin, and stops the doctor you invited to see a doctor for Prince Qin. Which law has been violated?"

Jin Xi's voice was sharp, "I would like to ask Mr. Dong again, what is the crime of using the Shangfang sword for one's own selfishness? What is the crime of using the Shangfang sword to intimidate innocent people? As an official, relying on coercion is a crime." What crime? There is something that the county chief doesn't understand about today's matter, why don't you ask Mr. Dong to go to Beijing with the princess on the same boat, and explain it clearly in front of the queen mother."

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" Dong Zhixing yelled angrily, and almost threw his sleeve on Jin Xi's face following the yell.Jin Xi remained motionless, but Dong Zhixing was already stern, staring at him with Jin Xi's ice-cold eyes, he was forced to be unable to say what he wanted to say later.I thought that the little girl in front of me was just lucky, and she was lucky enough to do a few superficial articles to attract people's hearts during the flood in Anyang.It just so happens that there have been frequent turmoil in the court recently, and something out of the ordinary is needed to divert the attention of the court and the public.That's why the queen came forward and canonized her as princess.

Mr. Yun Zong's closed disciple is just an empty name, what real ability can he have!

It has been 20 years since Emperor Daozong gave Shangfang a sword. Most courtiers can't explain the use of Shangbaobao's sword, but this hairy girl knows it all?
Dong Zhixing secretly regretted that he underestimated the enemy for a while, but was forced into a dilemma by a hairy girl.The whereabouts of that little bastard Qin Xiao is certainly important, but the Emperor Daozong misused the Shangfang sword in the hands of the third prince, and he became suspicious, which was not worth the gain.

After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, Dong Zhixing stepped down immediately, frowned and said with a sneer: "This old man came to visit the son because of his old relationship with Uncle Qingyuan. Since the son doesn't give me this face, I don't force it."

"It's not that you don't want to save face for your lord. Qin Shizi still has a few medicines here and there is no place to ask for them. Why don't you trouble your lord to prepare some." Jin Xi smiled and stopped Dong Zhixing who was about to leave, "The wild ginseng that was born in 80 years, I got two 50-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin... what else, let your grandfather write a list to Mr. Dong?" Ignoring Dong Zhixing's trembling goatee, Jin Xi turned his face and ordered Qi Tian.

Qi Tian responded, and like a little mouse, he got out of the crowd and opened the door to enter Qin Xiao's cabin.After a short while, he took out a piece of paper.The ink on it was not completely dry yet, Dong Zhixing glanced at it and was a little pissed off.

Is this asking for medicine or robbery?Only pick expensive ones, right?

Jin Xi looked at Dong Zhixing innocently, "Does your lord think this medicine is too expensive?" She sighed, "I think it's expensive too, but fortunately the son has a strong family, and there is a master Dong who does not forget The father's favor of the old love, most people get this kind of disease, and they have to wait for death."

"Okay! I will send someone to bring the medicine later!" Dong Zhixing was almost angry. He kept saying that he had a deep friendship with Uncle Qingyuan, and he didn't hesitate to ask for Shangfang's sword just to see Qin Xiao.Doctors have been invited, but a few medicines are reluctant to give. Isn't this handing over your face to be beaten?
it is good!What a stinky girl who is cheap and good-looking, you wait for the old man!

It has to be said that Dong Zhixing's mobile pharmacy on the wharf cost a little money, and it was indeed a good thing.It took less than a stick of incense to send out the list written by Qi Guozheng, so he put together a large package and sent it up.

Qi Guozheng is a typical person who watches the excitement and is not afraid of big things. He unpacks the bag and looks at it one by one. When he sees the sliced ​​antler horns, he pinches a piece and puts it in his mouth to taste. Cheng Juhua, "Good, good stuff, adult antlers, really good stuff."

Dong Zhixing's face turned green, and the knuckles in his sleeves were clenched with blue veins.Could it be something good?These were all intended to curry favor with the third prince who came out for a tour. After waiting for two days, instead of waiting for the third prince, he waited for a letter from the third prince, asking him to find a way to keep Qin Xiao.This chicken-and-egg fight not only did not leave Qin Xiao behind, but also lost a large amount of high-quality medicinal materials.This is all silver!

Not listening to Qi Guozheng's comments, just looking at Dong Zhixing's distressed blood dripping expression, Jin Xi was in a good mood, and looked at him with a smile, "It's getting late and we have to hurry, so I won't leave Master Dong alone."

Dong Zhixing raised his eyebrows in astonishment, "The county chief is on the road all night?"

Jin Xi nodded, "Shizi Qin's illness can't be delayed, we can only go back to Beijing day and night."

I thought that Dong Zhixing would hold back a few words in a symbolic way, but he suddenly became reasonable, and pondered for a while, "I still have official duties, should I send someone from the navy office to see me off?"

"It is written in the Dali law that imperial envoys are not allowed to harass the local area. Thank you, Mr. Dong, for your kindness." Jin Xi solemnly declined.The tone was calm, if Dong Zhixing hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this little girl was threatening to fight Dong Zhixing in the blink of an eye.

Dong Zhixing didn't insist any longer, and took a group of people off the boat.As soon as they left, Jin Xi immediately ordered the boat to sail.Qing Xing looked at Dong Zhixing and his party who had been parked on the pier to watch them leave, turned her face to look at Jin Xi with flickering eyes and asked, "Why are you extorting those precious medicinal materials? You must have offended Mr. Dong!"

Jin Xi tightened the cloak disapprovingly, "I offended him because I don't want those things. I've offended them anyway, so I must have something to gain."

"..." Qing Xing looked at Jin Xi who was about to go back to the room speechlessly, this is a typical example of wanting money but not life!

The moment Jin Xi closed the door, she turned around and told Zhou Qingniu, "Ask the disembarkation boss, how long will it take to leave Mr. Dong's jurisdiction at our ship's speed? What's the situation on the road ahead?"

Zhou Qingniu immediately went to the bilge, and came back after a short time: "It will take three hours to go overnight! But the waterway with five hours behind is the junction of Shunchang and Linjing. Both sides are barren mountains for iron quarrying. Thieves are infested. Most people dare not walk at night."

After hearing this, Jin Xi slightly curled the corners of his mouth, so it was so, no wonder Master Dong let it go so happily.But his plan is going to fail again!

Dong Zhixing stood on the pier, and the river wind blew the hem of his big red robe.Everyone behind him shrunk their necks subconsciously, but he didn't realize it. He watched Jinxi's official ship go away with a cold face, and when he disappeared, he suddenly raised his voice and sneered, "This ship is going smoothly and smoothly. quick!"

"My lord, why did you let them go?" The man who was holding Shang Fang's sword on the boat just now suddenly stepped forward and stood behind him, keeping a certain distance from the officials of Shunchang Mansion. His soft eyebrows and eyes were full of anger, and he said in a low voice. : "The villain has already brought out Shangfang's sword for the lord, but the lord hasn't found out whether that little bastard Qin Xiao is on the boat?"

"Eunuch Huang, don't worry, the next official will naturally explain to the third prince." Dong Zhixing glanced at the man, suppressed the anger in his heart, and responded coldly.He turned around and got into his official sedan chair, and ordered to go back to the Yamen.

The first thing he said after entering the study was to tell his confidant Dong Shun, "Go and find out why the third prince is so eager to track down Shizi Qin's whereabouts?"

Dong Shun agreed, and said uncertainly before leaving: "The villain was drinking with Eunuch Huang the day before yesterday, and he overheard him complaining, 'Such a big ship will not break sooner or later, but it's just bad luck to meet it. That little bastard was bad at the time, the villain wondered, did he have something that was eaten by Mr. Qin?"

"Such a big ship... such a big ship..." Dong Zhixing frowned into a "Sichuan" character, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and kept repeating the few words that Eunuch Huang had inadvertently leaked with his eyes closed. After chanting the words for a while, he suddenly jumped up, his face pale, "You said...it's a big boat?"

Dong Shun was taken aback, and nodded quickly, "It means it's a big boat."

"It's over! It's over!" Dong Zhixing slumped down on the chair, sweating profusely, and suddenly slapped the table and cursed: "The yellow-mouthed boy didn't listen to the old man, it's all over now! The old man reminded him that the Cao Gang recently A big change, let him stop for the time being, but in the end he became obsessed with money and didn't listen to the old man's advice. It's over now!"

Dong Zhixing scolded for a long time, but Dong Shun didn't understand what he was scolding. After thinking for a long time, he dared to test: "Does the master suspect that the third prince didn't listen to your advice, and transported iron ingots to Jiaozhi again? Discovered... black eating black?"

Dong Zhixing was furious, "Apart from this, what else can make him anxious. Even sent out the Shangfang sword given to him by the late emperor? It's a trivial matter to eat black, and it's just a loss of 10,000+ taels of silver. This little bastard poked out hundreds of heads!"

"No way? Something...something happened...what is the third prince doing without telling the master?" Knowing that Dong Zhixing's anger was not directed at him, Dong Shun's calf twisted from fright.Privately mine iron ore and sell it to other countries.Either one is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan.Even if it is a prince, it is enough to die twice.

"Why didn't you tell the old man?" Dong Zhixing gritted his teeth and grinned, "He wanted to use the old man as a scapegoat when he had to!"

"Then...then what should I do?" Dong Shun was so frightened that his crotch became hot, and both trouser legs were completely wet.With two charcoal pots burning, the well-sealed study suddenly smelled of stench.

"Get out!" Dong Zhixing cursed in disgust.Dong Shun ran out with his crotch in his hands, and was stopped by Dong Zhixing as soon as he reached the door, "You first burn all the accounts of the yamen's mining in the past few years, and don't leave a single page. And..." He waved his hands Calling Dong Shun to the front, regardless of the smell of his body, he leaned into his ear and whispered: "Then find a few quick-witted people, and go to the jurisdiction of Linjing Mansion...the people on the official ship..." Said Then make a beheading gesture, "...remember to act like a robbery, and be clean!"

Dong Shun's scalp became numb when he heard this, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and tremblingly took the stack of banknotes handed over by Dong Zhixing, "Master... don't worry, master... I... I understand."
