"Uncle Shi, now Shen Yichen doesn't eat the soft and hard things, so he can only scare him a little ruthlessly. He will feel that he is worried about his life, so that he will be honest and dare not mention the matter reported by the Censorate again."

In terms of background, Chen Yichen is too big, and just one admiral is enough to suppress the entire Zhenjiang officialdom. If the white road cannot be understood, he can only walk on the underworld and the underworld. He can shut up in other ways.

"Something makes sense."

Zhao Tongzhang nodded. He had already understood Su Wen's intention.

Indeed, no matter how powerful Chen Yichen's background is, he is just a weak scholar of sixteen or seventeen years old. How strong is his mind?

As long as Chen Yichen is threatened by death, he will be killed and silenced by the Censorate himself. Then this matter will be considered successful.

I thought Su Wen only knew how to cause trouble, but I didn't expect that he would even have some tricks. It seemed that he was not so useless.

"This Chen Yichen only brought a servant, which seemed to be heading north on a boat. If my nephew remembers correctly, the leader of the Jingkou Gang of the Canal River seems to be familiar with Uncle Shi. Why not leave this matter to them?"

In the Ming Dynasty, Tongzong was in charge of public security and litigation, and was very familiar with people from all walks of life, so it is not surprising that Zhao Tongzong knew these gang members in the martial arts world.

Of course, Su Wen also knew a lot of things like this. But it is best to let Zhao Tongzong do this kind of risky things. If Chen Yichen is a tough guy, he can't be scared, and the pot can't fall on him.

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long term."

Zhao Tongzong did not agree at once. He always felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

"Uncle Shi, it's just a matter of coercion and temptation by the gangs in the world. It's not a big deal. Even if it's not successful, it's the work of the gangs in the world. What evidence does Chen Yichen have to prove that it has something to do with us?"

Su Wen's words made Punishment Zhao Tong feel a little moved.

After all, the threat of the three words "Criminal Office" is too great, and no one can guarantee whether Chen Yichen is talking casually or really planning to report it. In the face of his own wealth and life, he can only prevent problems before it happens.

"Okay, just do what my nephew said!"

Zhao Tongzong gritted his teeth and agreed. It was over and there was only one thing that could only help Su Wen wipe his butt.

"Then please don't want to do everything."

After saying that, Su Wen smiled and bowed to leave.

Although the main reason for his matchmaking was to prevent disaster relief and corruption, Chen Yichen reported it to the Censorate for accidental involvement.

But if Su Wen can scare Chen Yichen or beat him up and exert his anger, he will be even more satisfied. Wouldn't it be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?

The next morning, Chen Yichen had some breakfast and left the inn with A Niu, intending to continue taking the boat north.

"Brother Chen, I feel like someone is following us?"

Walking on the way to the pier, A Niu looked back from time to time, but found no traces. He could only say something to Chen Yichen in confusion.

"Yeah?"

Hearing this, Chen Yichen also looked back and found nothing unusual.

"Actually, I felt this way last night, but I was so dark at night that I couldn't be sure, and it became more and more obvious today."

"Brother Chen, do you think it was the group of young men who were looking for someone to follow us last night?"

"Probably not."

Chen Yichen shook his head. He had already revealed the background last night. He didn't believe in a small magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture and dared to challenge the Censor.

"All right."

A Niu looked confused. He felt that he had always been quite accurate and shouldn't make any mistakes.

As he walked all the way to the dock, the boatman was waiting at the bow of the boat early. When he saw Chen Yichen coming, he immediately shouted respectfully: "God of Chen."

"You're welcome to the boatman."

Chen Yichen waved his hand and then jumped onto the boat. He didn't have so many rules to show off, so he could do whatever he wanted.

After all, I had already had some contact yesterday, and the boatman was not surprised by Chen Yichen's easy-goingness. After waiting for A Niu to board the boat, he immediately set off without delaying any time.

At this time, in the distance of the dock, there were several pairs of eyes staring at Chen Yichen. One of them was two strong men who were arranged to protect Chen Yichen last night.

"Canghuotou, I seem to see the people from the Jingkou Gang following the desk leader, and I feel something is wrong."

"The Jingkou Gang is a gang that is dependent on Su Wen and his group of young men. Could it be that what happened last night has not yet passed?"

Zheng Xiang also discovered the Jingkou Gang people. He was very familiar with the forces of Zhenjiang Prefecture and understood the sphere of influence of various gangs and their backers.

"Su Wen's father is the prefect of Zhenjiang. He is used to being domineering and domineering. He was suppressed by the head of the slaughter on his territory. Can he swallow this?"

"So what if I can't swallow it? Does he still have the courage to silence the head of the desk?"

"There is no such thing in theory, but who knows this."

As they chatted, the two realized that things seemed not simple, so Zheng Xiang said, "No matter whether they have the courage or not, I think I still have to tell Brother Ye about this and see what he says."

"Okay, then let's withdraw first."

Cang Huotou nodded. Even if it was not the words that Master Bian had said, Chen Yichen's actions last night had already won his respect.

There have been countless scholars and literati who have seen them, but I have never seen many scholars and literati who can be as gentle as Chen Yichen. I have to protect his vigor!

In ancient times, the urban area was not as large as later generations. Not long after the birds sailed, the buildings on both sides became sparse, and the farmlands could be seen vaguely.

Chen Yichen took out a book "Shiwen Collection" from his bag, leaning against the boat tent and reading the book leisurely. If nothing unexpected happens, this kind of picture will occupy most of the time in the next journey.

I don’t know how long it took, but there were a few more ships on the water ahead. The boatman didn’t care too much at first. When he got closer, the expression on his face became panicked.

"My husband Shen, there are several fast ships in front of him, I'm afraid they are not good at plagiarism."

The so-called Clippers are boatmen who make a living on the water. They are collectively called "long-shaped and fast-speed ships".

In order to pursue speed, this kind of ship is not suitable for cargo. It was invented to carry people at first, and later became a naval ship, which is more inclined to be used in the military.

If you find such a ship in the canal, it is most likely that it is a local water gang, and a low probability that it is a water bandit. Anyway, no matter which faction it is, it is not a good sign.

After all, A Niu has been in the market. When he heard the name of Clippers, he immediately became alert. He even took out a self-defense dagger from his bag in case of emergency.

Chen Yichen was also a little nervous at this moment. You should know that even in the 1980s and 1990s, it could be called rampant, let alone the ancient Ming Dynasty.

Before setting off, I specially changed into a scholar's shirt for the convenience of travel, just to show my identity and avoid unnecessary trouble.

But fame is a thing that prevents the government from being protected from thieves, so the other party will not take this trick.

"Brother Chen, if something really happens, I'll hold them back. You can find a way to leave first!"

A Niu said this very loyally, but the occasion was not right. The water was covered with white water, so how could he run away!

In a blink of an eye, several fast ships had already surrounded the bird's boat. Chen Yichen could clearly see more than a dozen men in uniform standing on the other side's boat, staring at him and others with bad intentions on his face.

The ship owner of the Cricket Boat once ran through the canal and was quite familiar with the forces on this canal. He recognized at a glance that the Clippers were the local Jingkou Gang in Zhenjiang.

When the boatman saw that it was a local gang, the boatman was relieved. Because rabbits do not eat grass by their nests these days, compared with the wandering water bandits, local gangs that have become powerful will stay on the front line.

If you are lucky, it is okay to be snatched from the things to save your life. If you are lucky, you will be safe if you pay for some money to buy the road.

So the boatman directly shouted to the other party: "Dear heroes from the Jingkou Gang, we are ships who come to Beijing to take the exam, and I hope you can do it with great success."

Generally speaking, gangs will not go too far when they encounter a taxi ship that goes to Beijing to take the exam.

First of all, it is naturally the noble literati. You don’t know how powerful this scholar is behind it. Will there be a big boss in his hometown and the same year?

If the matter is made big and the court sends troops to encircle and suppress it, any gang will seek death in the face of the state machine.

The second point is that scholars will not bring too much money to take the exam, probably all of them are money needed for life, and they do not carry large sums of money like merchants.

Based on these two points, robbing a scholar who takes the exam has a very high risk, but the benefits are very low. As long as you have no problem with your brain, you will give face.

But this time, something was wrong. After hearing that Chen Yichen was a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, he was unmoved at all, as if he had set a goal.

"I'm afraid this is not enough to be able to raise your hands. You just blame me for offending someone you shouldn't have offended."

After the Clippers, the leader of the Clippers said this, they all showed their swords and showed their attitude of taking human life.

So cruel?

Seeing the other party's attitude caught Chen Yichen off guard.

Chen Yichen had not even realized this at this moment, and it had something to do with Zhao Tongzhang and Su Wen of Zhenjiang Prefecture.

After all, in his eyes, there was a small conflict, and he even used Sun Tixue to suppress the other party. Even if he had resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart, he was far from taking human life.

Seeing Chen Yichen seemed to be frightened, the person led by Jingkou Gang showed a faint chuckling on the corner of his mouth.

He was really a weak scholar. He hadn't even said anything harshly, but he was scared just by emitting the knife. It was like a silver wax gun tip. Zhao Tong's handover fee was too easy to get.

Just as the Jingkou gang members were about to board the ship and continue to intimidate and threaten Chen Yichen, several other fast ships appeared behind the bird ship, galloping towards them. In order to speed up, the two sides of the ship were covered with rowing oars.

Brother Ye was standing at the bow of the boat, holding the steel knife tightly in his hand, and his face was extremely solemn.
