Even if he knew there was a problem, Governor Zhou could only go ashore temporarily, accept the complaint, and do his best in officialdom.

Anyone with a little knowledge of officialdom knows that Cao troops who come to complain cannot be treated like ordinary people by clearing them away at will.

Let's accept the complaint first, as for how to fool things in the future.

The governor's fleet continued to move forward, but within ten miles, another tanker suddenly appeared and blocked the way.

There was still a young military attache standing on the bow of the boat and yelling: "We are from the Suzhou Cao Army, and we are responsible for transporting grain to the Huai'an warehouse this time!"

When the grain was put into the warehouse, there was a lot of deductions and losses, and we are miserable! Please ask the military gate to make the decision for me and the Jiangnan Cao Army!"

Governor Zhou doesn't want to know why this group of Cao troops complained now. He just wants to know how many more batches of Cao troops will complain in the future?

He now truly understands what it means for Lin Jiuyuan's forces to connect the Jiangnan Canal.

If I had known earlier, I should have listened to Sun Jigao, detoured from Wuxi to Yixing, and taken a small road back to Nanjing.

Master Li advised: "The future is not good, so settle in Danyang first."

Governor Zhou reluctantly agreed, "Let's rest in Danyang first."

There was a tanker that was always behind the patrol fleet, and the military attaché who had complained just now was looking at it with his head tilted up.

The officer of the governor's personal soldiers who was detained shouted across the water to the boat: "The complaint has been accepted, what are you still doing?"

The young military attache replied: "If I can persuade Zhou Junmen to stay here, I am willing to give you a hundred taels of silver!"

The Chinese military officer was speechless. Is this military attaché of the Cao Army seriously ill?

The little military attaché had his own account. If the governor stopped moving forward, it would be equivalent to being stopped by him, and he would get the five hundred taels reward from Senior Official Lin!

If the governor wanted to go further, he would be able to give away dozens of taels.

Governor Zhou felt trapped in a dilemma when he was in Danyang.

If you continue walking forward, you will probably encounter complaints one after another. When you get to the Jingkou Ship Lock, there may be something wrong again.

But it would be too shameful to turn around and go back to Wuxi and change to Yixing.

After discussing with Master Li, Master Li said: "The current purpose of these people is obviously to slow down Dong Weng's forward speed.

As for their purpose of doing this, it must be to delay time and let Lin Jiuyuan catch up.

So now it can be inferred that Lin Jiuyuan must have been chasing closely behind.

Therefore, I propose that you abandon Zhouji immediately and rush overland to Nanjing as quickly as possible, otherwise you will definitely be overtaken!"

Go faster? Governor Zhou was stunned. With his age and physical strength, how could he still endure so much?

In the end, An Yi finally got the upper hand, and Governor Zhou said angrily:

"I'm not leaving! I'll wait here! Even if Lin Tai comes, can he force me to be kidnapped back to Suzhou?"

This is Danyang, not Suzhou! If Lin Tailai had the ability, he would also launch a mutiny or civil uprising in Danyang!

Master Li had nothing to say and felt that Dong Weng was getting impatient.

If you are persecuted too much, you may even think of resigning. It is similar to the fact that people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?

By the next day, Governor Zhou, who was mentally ready to give up, felt refreshed after a good night's rest.

As soon as I walked out of the inner courtyard, I saw a tall and majestic man sitting in the front hall, listless and yawning constantly.

Who could this person be if he wasn't Lin Tailai? Looking at his state, he looked like he was chasing him all night long.

Governor Zhou took the initiative and asked: "Why did Bachelor Lin suddenly appear here?"

Lin Tailai yawned again, and then replied: "I came here to ask Futai to return to Suzhou and take charge of the overall situation."

Governor Zhou forced himself to calm down and replied: "This hospital is about to go to Nanjing."

Lin Tailai said in a kind tone: "Futai really doesn't want to go back to Suzhou? In fact, it's better to go back."

Seeing that Lin Tailai's attitude was relatively "weak", Governor Zhou became even tougher and asked: "Does it mean that the itinerary of our college should be arranged by Bachelor Lin?"

Lin Tailai explained: "That's not true! Don't get me wrong Futai!

I just heard a lot of gossip and thought that returning to Suzhou from Futai would be the best option, otherwise there would be endless troubles."

Intuitively, this was a lie. Governor Zhou didn't believe it and didn't want to be led around.

Therefore, he did not ask about the content of the gossip, but only emphasized:

"No matter what gossip there is, it is impossible for our institute to change the itinerary. Please come back, Academician Lin!"
