Wanli Xinming

Chapter 230 Tracking
The heavy snow in Hangzhou last winter has already melted.It was early spring in February, and the muddy ground was full of mud.Wang Jieru needs to keep pushing herself all the time so that she doesn't make a loud noise when she follows the boy.When the young man asked Hai Rui his name, Wang Jieru heard that his surname was Ma and his name was Junxian.

At this time, the cold moon was like a hook in the sky, the stars were rustling in the cold wind, and the rolling hills in the distance looked like crouching beasts under the starlight.And the sound of the cold wind blowing the dead trees and bamboo branches added to the silence of the night.

The Tang River flowed quietly in the dark night, and Wang Jie, like occasionally seeing dark and heavy boats, also moored silently, not hearing the sound of the oars.

Wang Jieru followed Ma Junxian after he left the yamen, and he didn't see anything suspicious about him for a whole day.

After Ma Junxian got out of the circuit court, he went to work in a shop selling candied fruit with a paper in his hand, and did not immediately go to Hangzhou Prefecture or Qiantang County to file a lawsuit.Wang Jieru judged that he must have asked the person behind the scenes before deciding what to do next.

It wasn't until the sun fell, that Wang Jieru saw that he had said something to the shopkeeper, packing up his things as if he was about to leave.The shopkeeper took out a small pocket and gave him some candied fruit, gave him a string of copper coins, and touched his head.Wang Jieru judged that the shop owner was probably a relative or elder of the young man.

After Ma Junxian left the fruit shop, he walked quickly and headed straight for Liangzhu Town, northwest of Hangzhou.Passing by a steamed bun shop on the way, I bought several big buns and carried them in my hands.When Wang Jieru followed him out of the city gate, there were still some pedestrians on the road. When the sky turned dark, there were no people and animals.

Wang Jieru judged that the person behind the scenes was probably in Liangzhu.Sure enough, when he walked to the Tang River, Ma Junxian looked back from time to time, as if to prevent someone from following him.But the skills of the Ouchi guards were beyond the imagination of the young man. He looked back several times and found nothing unusual.

Wang Jieru judged that the boy's home was nearby, because it was already dark, but the boy was walking fast.In the dark night, the loess reflects the starlight, and it looks like a white band in the eyes of people, but it is impossible to see any potholes.Wang Jieru was not familiar with the road without him, and he used Qinggong along the way, so he didn't disturb him.

"This child must be able to eat meat often at home." Wang Jieru knew that many people who couldn't eat meat were prone to night blindness, but this young man was sure that there was no such problem.

Following him around a river branch, Wang Jieru stopped.As far as the eyes can see, there is a light like a bean by the Tang River in the distance, and a Wu boat is parked.That light was coming from the boat.Because in the dark night, that light is very obvious.

When Wang Jieru was following Ma Junxian, he carried a bag, which contained weapons, night clothes, hooks, long ropes and other tools.When he left the city of Hangzhou, he had already changed into a black suit. Just now, Ma Junxian turned his head back to check. This night clothes also played a concealing role.

But as far as he could see at this moment, under the canopy on the deck of Wu boat, a figure in a long gown was standing there.Wang Jie was afraid of being seen by him, so she hurriedly hid herself behind a tree by the roadside.Afraid that they would not be able to hear their conversation if they were too far away, they kept approaching the ship under the shade of trees.

Ma Junxian also saw the light at this time, and called out in a low voice, "Is that Mr. Hong?"

The figure on the boat moved, and Wang Jieru heard a cough first.The figure asked, "Is it Chaosheng?" His voice was low, and he couldn't tell how old he was.Ma Junxian agreed, and Wang Jieru estimated that "Chaosheng" should be Ma Junxian's nickname.

Wang Jieru probed behind the tree and saw that Ma Junxian had already rushed down a path along the river bank at this time. When he was about to reach the water's edge, he jumped on the bow, and "Mr. Hong" reached out and supported him.

Before Ma Junxian could speak, Mr. Hong said, "Cough, you are still so frizzy, this slope is slippery."

The boy said, "Is it cold on this ship? Mister is frozen, why are you watching here?"

Mr. Hong said: "It doesn't matter, there is a brazier in the cabin, and I only came out. Ahem, come in and talk about it. Can someone follow you?"

Ma Junxian said: "No one is following me. I'll let you talk, Lord Hai." Mr. Hong snorted and said, "Go in and talk."

The two of them bent over and entered the low cabin from under the canopy.Immediately, "Zi Ya" sounded, and the cabin door was closed.

Wang Jieru dodged out from behind the bushes and said worriedly: "I didn't expect this guy to live on a boat, he would have brought water to him if he knew it earlier."

Although he was worried, there was still some joy in his heart. He didn't expect that the master behind the scene would be touched by him all of a sudden.Wang Jieru hesitated for a moment, then took off her boots and trousers, wrapped it in a bag and carried it on her back, and slowly walked down the river bank with her bare legs.

Against the biting coldness, he slowly approached the side of the boat and threw the stone he just picked up from the top of the cabin into the middle of the river.

The stone entered the water and made a "wave" sound.The two people in the cabin were disturbed, and they opened the window on the side of the river, and then the boat tilted slightly toward the river. It should be that both of the two people in the boat went to the river to investigate.

When Wang Jieruguang saw the boat move, he grabbed the boat's help and slowly pulled his legs out of the river with his arms, and then lay down under the window on the river bank.Although the boat followed him and swayed to the river bank again, the two people in the cabin thought it was caused by their own movements and didn't notice it.

Because his legs were covered with cold river water, he did not dare to neglect.Gently unpack, wipe off the water with trousers, put on, and slowly put on shoes.Immediately, he took out something similar to a stethoscope from the bag and put it on his ear. The front of the thing was a horn, which he gently pressed on the bulkhead.

Through this device, the sound in the cabin is clearly visible.Wang Jieru listened to Mr. Hong: "Go ahead."

Ma Junxian said: "There was a person beside Mr. Hai who didn't know what to say to him in a low voice. Mr. Hai said, 'You have met me, but you can go to Hangzhou or Qiantang County, as you like.' Then I kowtowed and left. already."

Mr. Hong did not speak, and occasionally coughed twice.After a while, Fang said: "Based on my knowledge of Lord Hai, he must not let this case go after hearing what you said. The matter is already five or six points."

Ma Junxian said, "Then I'll go to Hangzhou Mansion tomorrow?"

Mr. Hong was silent again, presumably thinking non-stop.Wang Jieru waited for a while, and listened to Mr. Nahong: "If you want to do it right, you will go to see Zhang Wenxi, the imperial censor tomorrow. I heard that he is also in Hangzhou these days, so you can tell the door that there are left and right camps. Chen Qi, he will definitely meet you."

Wang Jieru was shocked when she heard Mr. Hong's words.Outside the city of Hangzhou, there is a troop stationed on the east and west sides of Hangzhou.

If the case reported by Ma Junxian involved the garrison, the level of danger would be extraordinary - Governor Wu Shanyan must have known about it.

He only expected the two people in the cabin to talk more, but he didn't expect that Ma Junxian would obey Mr. Hong's words. Hearing that, he just sighed and agreed, "Well, then I'll go tomorrow."

Mr. Hong said, "Do you know where the Patrol Yamen is?"

Ma Junxian said, "I'll just go into the city and ask."

Mr. Hong said with a smile: "Cough, no need. There is no fixed yamen in the patrol, so you must live in the Yizheng Hotel. You can go there and find it."

Wait until Ma Junxian agrees.Mr. Hong asked again, "Have you eaten yet?"

Ma Junxian just remembered and replied, "I bought some steamed buns on the way, and I'll eat them now. Have you eaten them, sir?" Mr. Hong said, "It's so late, how can I wait for you to come back to eat, I've already eaten it. There's still a fish left there, a bowl of rice, you go and heat it up."

Ma Junxian said: "I eat steamed buns." He said to Mr. Hong, "This is the candied fruit that my uncle gave me, sir, try it."

Mr. Nahong sighed and said: "If you seek the advantage of human affairs, you will suffer the loss of heaven; if you are greedy for the benefits of the world, you will inevitably lose your character. Be careful not to be greedy for the oriole and fall into a deep well, and abandon Sui beads to play. Birds are also. If your father is not a greedy character, why should you be such a good boy at such a young age?" After speaking, he coughed several times.

Then Ma Junxian heard him say that his father killed his father, he didn't argue, just sighed.

Mr. Hong muttered a few words, and the two of them were speechless.

Wang Jieru was anxiously waiting outside the cabin, thinking that I've been lying there for so long in vain, you two should say a few more words!He has both internal and external skills. After putting on his pants, he doesn't feel cold, but he doesn't dare to move, but he feels uncomfortable.

After waiting for two more sticks of incense, it was midnight.Those two gourds that looked like saw-mouthed, didn't make a sound.After a while, the oil lamp in the cabin also went out, and there was a rustling sound. It should be that the two of them unpacked their luggage and went to sleep.

Wang Jieru gritted her teeth secretly, and had to slowly take off her trousers and shoes, preparing to get off the boat.When I was about to take off halfway, I suddenly heard the sound of oars in the upper reaches of the Tang River. It should be a boat coming down from above.

Wang Jieru was surprised in her heart, what kind of way did the boat go in the middle of the night?He quickly put on his trousers and put his overshoes on his feet.Before he could pack up, the bowstring sounded, the fire flashed across the river, and a rocket was nailed to the cabin!
Wang Jieru was shocked, knowing that someone was coming to silence them, but she didn't care to disturb the two of them, so she hurriedly kicked and put on her boots.At this time, the people in the cabin have been alarmed by the fire, and Mr. Hong shouted: "Who?"Get up to check.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Wang Jie grabbed the window sash on the side of the river bank, and broke the wooden dowel with force, and shouted to the cabin, "Don't open the window, they have bows and arrows! Come out from here!"

Mr. Na Hong was standing in front of the window in his underwear and was about to open it, when he heard the words, he was stunned.Turning his head to see Wang Jieru, he screamed again in fright, and also startled Ma Junxian, who fell asleep with his pillow stuck.

Wang Jieru exclaimed, "I am the bodyguard of Lord Hai, this child has seen me today. You guys."

Just as he was talking, there was a loud "bang", and the upstream boat had already rammed on the Wu boat, causing the boat to sway.The two people in the cabin couldn't stand, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Wang Jieru slammed the probe from the side of the cabin here, and immediately retracted, and by the firelight on the rocket, he could see that three men on the enemy ship had long hooks to hang on the boat's gang of Wu's boat, and were about to jump over to help.There were also two men on the boat holding bows and arrows, standing on the deck.
