Chapter 288 Fox Power (Part 2)(2/2)
In the Zheng family, Zheng Lang valued his daughter the most, even surpassing Cui Xian. Seeing her daughter struggling in the arms of the big man, he felt a sting in his heart. But the more he was at this moment, he became more and more angry and calmly ordered the yamen runners: "Drag the prisoner up."
The prisoner was brought to the deck.
Zheng Lang asked again: "How do we change people?"
One of the two big men made a gesture, and another small raft was placed on the boat and said, "Take people back for this small boat, send someone to drive the small raft, and change people in the middle."
"According to you."
Two big men divided the division, one drove a small boat and the other dragged the raft over.
The sky gradually became darker, and the wind blew on the sea, with great waves. Seeing the small raft rolling around, Zheng Lang frowned. However, there was no way, and sent Wang Zhi and another yamen runner with good water and boat nature to drive the small raft, dragged the small raft to the side of the boat, and let several criminals go down. At this time, you can see who was the other party’s accomplice. The three minor officials and the two salt dealers all smiles on their faces. Zheng Lang said unhappily: "Don't forget that you have family."
One of the minor officials said: "Prince Zheng is a good official and will not make things difficult for our family."
Zheng Lang was speechless and watched Wang Zhi and Zhang Yabos carefully control the small raft and sailing into the middle of the two ships. Seeing that Zheng Lang was "keeping his promise", the other party also put Zheng Ping down and handed it to one of the big men.
The two small ships gathered together in the middle and handed Zheng Ping openly to Wang Zhi. No matter how good Wang Zhi's martial arts are, it is useless. It is not easy to operate this small raft. There is a possibility of overturning the ship at any time. If there is any change, it will definitely affect Zheng Ping.
The talent on the other side's boat shouted loudly: "Prince Zheng, we are forced to offend him because of helplessness. In the future, as long as the Prefect Zheng is in Hangzhou for one day, we will not sell private salt again."
Zheng Lang looked at the sea with concern, and he didn't care what the other party said.
It is to make a statement that the people do not fight with the officials. Even if this person has some background, he is unwilling to openly become enemies with the court. But when things get so bad, it will be too late for you to turn back to the right.
Wang hesitated directly at Zheng Ping, but looked at the surging waves and shook his head again.
His actions also made the other party see, and said, "There is no wind and waves here, which is the place we deliberately chose. Since we have changed people, I hope that the person who sent me to stop the promise."
Then bring people back. Seeing the last prisoner being pulled into a small ship, Wang Zhi had to hold Zheng Ping with the yamen runners, carefully sailing the raft back and climbing onto the ship. The other party also returned to the side of the big ship. But the huge change began to a sharp turn. Two strangers on the boat climbed onto the big ship first. The ropes of the prisoners behind him were not untied, and they were still shouting loudly, asking them to untickle the rope.
Zheng Lang said: "Not good. Rush over."
But more than a dozen people on the opposite boat took out more than a dozen bows at the same time, set up arrows, and shot them onto the boat. The man in the middle said, "Prince Zheng, I hope to forgive me. We have changed people, but you can't explain to the court and we will solve it for you."
It’s not a replacement, it’s a killing silence.
After saying that, the ship quickly sailed eastward, and the terrain in which area was more complicated, Zheng Lang covered Zheng Ping's eyes and said, "Please lift the body up."
The murderer is inhumane, and he must be inhumane. Although they are also death row prisoners, they may not have been killed before they are executed.
He sighed again and said, "More families are destroyed..."
This trouble, the case should not be small.
The more people are sent, the more people will be executed. Everyone is executed or killed, which means the breakdown of a family. The reason is precisely because of an unintentional act...
What he likes is to provide for more poor people. If this kind of remedy comes at the cost of a fresh life, he will never like it, even though the other party is a private salt dealer.
Others didn't know his psychology, and Qiantang Chazhu Bo asked worriedly: "What should I do now?"
You cannot really report the facts to the court.
Zheng Lang hesitated for a while, sighed again, and said, "Put down the flag."
"Here," the two yamen runners lowered the Hang Zheng flag, but they still didn't expect that everyone had changed back, and what's the use of hanging the flag?
Zheng Lang said again: "Continue to chase after it."
As she said that, she hugged Zheng Ping into the ship and coaxed Zheng Pingle, which scared Zheng Ping the past two days, but she was young and had no idea. When she saw her familiar father, she coaxed her again, and the laughter of the silver bell boat came from a while.
Chazhu Bo followed in confusion and said, "We can't catch up..."
It is futile to not pursue it anymore, and it will soon become dark. It is easier to catch up on this complex sea.
Zheng Lang said: "It's okay, I have arranged a boat..."
"When?" Chazhubo looked at the sea from the door of the ship in surprise. There were still boats on the sea, only a few small fishing boats, and there was no other movement.
"No need to look, you will come soon," Zheng Lang finished speaking, four fishing boats rushed up from a distance. The boat was a fishing boat, but there were many soldiers standing on it, and the boat had been temporarily renovated, and several more oars were set on the side of the boat. At this time, all oars were equipped with long oars, and there were forbidden soldiers rowing desperately, causing the four boats to chase the boat just like arrows off the string.
Seeing that the investigation leader Bo was puzzled, Zheng Lang said lightly: "I was very annoyed when I learned that my daughter was taken away yesterday. But during the trial, I slowly woke up. County Magistrate Han and County Magistrate Lu arrested people very suddenly, but the repeated interrogations were fruitless, and severe punishment was also used. But why weren't some critical people mentioned in the confession?"
If this incident happened, the case seemed to be settled. There was a source of salt, salt sellers, and officials sheltered. However, this incident proved that there were people behind the scenes. This was a bit strange if there was no confession.
There are several people, not everyone is not afraid of death. Seeing that they were not in the end, a few people saw that they were saved, but they actually showed happy smiles on their faces regardless of their family. This means that they are also afraid of death and are nostalgic for life.
But Zheng Lang also said the same thing yesterday. If the report is made, you can guarantee that you will not die. It is inevitable that you will be guilty of life. However, what credit does Zheng Lang's words have?
The founder Bo already understood what Zheng Lang meant and said, "Prince Zheng, you mean that the messenger who had a cell sent a message in."
"Yes, just say a few words, I will take care of your family for you. If you ask, the government may not catch me, or dare to arrest me. At that time, your family, including you, would not want to die well. I even told them that I will find a way to rescue you." He smiled sarcastically at this point.
At this time, Hangzhou, I am afraid that Empress Cao's family would come over. If they do something wrong, they would also be disgraceful. These small officials and salt dealers did not know, no matter who the other party was, they still had some skills, and continued to say: "So they do not confess, we are not cruel officials and will not use torture. In fact, why bother? I originally wanted to deal with this case lightly, and delay it to reduce the interest of the two magistrates. The big case is small, and the small case is nothing. Try to die as few as possible, and few families are destroyed..."
He sighed: "Even private salt, I don't want to ask about the previous private salt... but I didn't expect that the matter would turn out to be like this... But it has come out, so I have to continue thinking about it. This is like a public confrontation with the government. How many people have the courage?"
The check-in master Bo Moran, there were tyrants who had confronted the government in the past, but everyone knew it, and it was impossible to kidnap the officials' family. Let's see how many people Fan Zhongyan offended and whether anyone dared to touch Fan Zhongyan's family. This case is far more serious than private salt. Private salt is in the capital. If someone protects him and asks the emperor for mercy, he can still spare his life. But if he commits this, who dares to ask?
He didn't know the consequences, so he continued to listen to Zheng Lang: "He doesn't want me to know his identity, nor does he want my daughter to have any unexpected results. Although I have not been talented in the past few years, I still have a little reputation. If there is an unexpected situation, it will be a situation that will never stop."
Touching Zheng Ping's hair, he said, "So, he must change people. But I can't say whether the artist is their accomplice. It is possible that he sent someone to pay attention, which happened to be a coincidence, so he snatched my daughter from the wet nurse. But where to change it? On the shore, no matter where, he cannot guarantee great safety. On Qiantang River, it is also impossible to guarantee safety."
There is no doubt that there are only Zhoushan Islands. And I just know that where to find more than a dozen people in these more than a thousand islands?
"Last night I made some arrangements and asked County Magistrate Lu to transfer four ships, one hundred banished soldiers. After boarding the ship, while driving the ship, he made some changes to the ship, and added oar ears, but there were also arc wood outside the oar ears to cover up the oar ears. Then when he arrived at the mouth of the sea, the soldiers were lying inside and the soldiers outside dressed up as fishermen. Today my boat came and hung the flag, which was for them to identify. And I deliberately chose a boat with a low speed, not to reassure the other party, but to have enough time to let the four boats be made into fishing boats to follow."
"You can't follow too close, otherwise the other party will find out, but you can't follow you and throw it away. You must always leave our sight. At this time, the flag on our ship is a sign of identification? But it is not easy to hang in Hangzhou City. The person in charge will see that he is more meticulous. When he reaches the sea, he is mostly subordinates or scapegoats. He has only arrived at Sugang," Chazhubo suddenly realized and asked.
"That's right, otherwise, even after the disguise, our ship would have been discovered by them." Zheng Lang's words just came, and the four ships had already rushed over under Wang Yuan's leadership and surrounded the ship tightly.
As night comes, the waves are getting bigger. Zheng Lang feels that his nearly 100-ton ship is like a willow leaf, rising and falling in the Langshan Mountains and hanging up.
Chazhubo stood on the bow of the boat, staring at the front, and sighed in his heart, for the person hidden behind him. Why did such a prefect still do whatever he had to do when he came to Hangzhou?
The night wind was even stronger, and it hit the reefs on both sides, rolling up thousands of snow and thousands of snow.
