Chapter 70 Resolved
"I'll go to Penghu first. If what you say is true, I'm willing to help you solve this matter." Chen Liu thought about it for a long time before speaking.

"Thank you!" Chen Xun didn't know what to say, so he could only thank him.

The two said nothing more. Chen Liu stood up and left directly, without bringing the compensation prepared by Chen Xun.

He must have planned to pick it up after returning from Penghu.

After Chen Liu left, Chen Xun arranged for someone to send a message to Ke Lei and asked him to arrange for Chen Liu to go to Penghu. He finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

This matter has finally come to an end. What he said is true. After Chen Liu returns from Penghu, he will definitely help him comfort the families of the victims.

With the help of the prestigious former Baozheng and the compensation of 100 taels of silver per person, the matter is considered stable.

In the future, we must learn lessons, be upright in life, and be upright in doing things, so that we can go far in the long run.

I am not a speculator who just makes a fortune and leaves. What I want to do is an unprecedented big undertaking. I cannot always think about speculation or taking shortcuts. Only by taking one step at a time can I get to the end steadily.

Speculation may be successful for a while, but one day it will suffer a big setback.

The error tolerance rate of steady and steady development is much higher. Even if some mistakes are made in the middle, because the foundation is solid, the losses caused by mistakes can also be borne.

Putting away the account books on the table, Chen Xun felt dizzy when he thought about the cost of compensating and resettling the villagers in Yushan Village.

Spending money like water!

I don’t know where Lu Hui is now.

Tong Guan's fortune is not speculation. It can be picked up by the way. If you don't pick it up, others will pick it up. It's better to do something serious if you pick it up yourself.

According to the scale of wealth of those corrupt people in history, Tong Guan's family wealth will not be less than the total assets of Chenjiazhuang.

It was a windfall.

Horses are no night grass and they are not fat, and people are not rich without windfalls!
If he gets this money, many things that Chen Xun planned before can be launched directly.

March [-], Nanshi Street, Gan County, Qianzhou.

After ten days of boating, Lu Hui and others finally figured out the only way for Tong Guan to pass.

Tong Guan was demoted to Lingnan and took a route further east than Cai Jing, all the way down Jiangnan West Road. Lu Hui sent people to follow him by land for two days before confirming that Tong Guan would pass through Gan County.

Ten days ago, Lu Hui and others went north from Guangzhou and passed thousands of miles of waterways. The boats sometimes spread their sails and sailed along with the wind, sometimes rocked the oars and drowned, and sometimes were dragged along the river bank by oxen.Most of the journey is against the current, and we have to take a detour along the river. The speed is much slower than going with the wind and the current.

When the time was up, a group of escorts came down the street. A dozen people were escorting an old man in prison uniform, followed by a group of followers.

The old man in prison uniform was not shackled, but sat on a bullock cart. He was demoted and treated very well.

"This dog officer is good if he has money. Even if he is demoted, he can ride in the car." The guard next to Lu Hui cursed angrily.

"Not just because he is rich, he has so many disciples and former officials, so naturally he would not dare to offend him for these small differences." Lu Hui explained.

"Why didn't I see his money?"

"There are too many. It is too eye-catching to be pulled by a car. He must be on the boat. We have been following him closely for the past few days. Whenever anyone in this team leaves, we will send someone to follow him until we find the silver ship." Lu Hui ordered.

"Yes!" Several squadron leaders responded immediately.

Following Tong Guan's escort team all the way, they actually saw them enter a restaurant, ordered food and wine and began to eat and drink, even the escorts were arranged with two tables of good wine and food.

It seems that for them, this escort trip is also a good trip. They have good food and drink along the way, and there must be a lot of rewards.However, according to their expenses, the daily consumption of this large group of people must be huge, and they must be supplemented from the ship.Moreover, as the ship traveled along the river, and they traveled along the land route, Tong Guan would definitely have to pay attention to the status of the silver ship regularly.

After eating and drinking in the restaurant, Tong Guan and others continued their journey, leaving Gan County and heading south.

After leaving the city, there were many fewer people on the pipeline. Lu Hui and others could no longer continue to follow them swaggeringly, so they could only move in twos and threes. Several waves of people were arranged before and after to avoid being discovered when they got together.

When it was almost dark, the escort team arrived at Zhangdong Town and went directly into the town to stay overnight.

Lu Hui and his people camped outside the town.

"Commander Lu, we've found it." A guard responsible for tracking came up to report.

"Where?" Lu Hui asked.

"It's in the Zhangshui River outside the town." the guard replied.

"Bring me a map."

The map was quickly brought over and a blanket was spread out underneath.

"We are here now, next to Zhangshui, and further south is Nankang County." Lu Hui gestured on the map: "Our ship is on Yaoshui to the east."

Yao River is to the east of Zhang River and flows in the same direction as Zhang River. They run parallel to each other and are [-] to [-] miles apart. They are both tributaries of Gong River.

"It seems that Triton's side can't help with this operation."

After Lu Hui led his men to catch up with Tong Guan, the personal guards and Haiwei acted separately. Haiwei controlled the ship and waited for orders and responses, while the personal guards followed on land.

"Not necessarily. Let's decide where to start first." Lu Hui said.

"It's hard to do anything in the river without the help of sea guards." A captain said.

The silver ship carries a large amount of gold and silver, so there will naturally be a large number of guards. As infantry, the guards can swim, but without the help of ships, how can they rob the ships in the river on the shore?

Lu Hui looked at the map and said nothing, while everyone was thinking of ways.

"If Tong Guan wants to continue going south, Zhangshui will always come to an end, and he has to change the boat, otherwise the boat will have nowhere to go when it reaches the upper reaches." Lu Hui analyzed.

"Yes, Zhang Shui did not enter Guangnan East Road, so he will definitely change boats." Another captain followed.

"There are Nankang County and Nan'an Army in the upper reaches of Zhangshui." Lu Hui continued to analyze: "The nearest river next to Zhangshui in Nankang County is Yaoshui. Both rivers flow from south to north, and it is impossible to transfer to Yaoshui. .”

"Then we can only transfer ships in Nan'an."

"Zhangshui is already very narrow in Nan'anjun. Sixty miles to the south is the Shixing River. The Shixing River will go all the way south from Guangzhou to the sea. And when you get to Guangzhou, waterways extend in all directions. It will be very convenient for Tong Guan to go wherever he wants to go."

The lower reaches of the Shixing River intersect with the Water Skiing and Xijiang Rivers. Through the Xijiang River, you can reach almost all prefectures and counties on Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road by boat.

"That's right, they will definitely transfer ships to Nan'an Army." Lu Hui confirmed.

"Then what to do next?" A guard captain asked.

"Since it has to be transferred to a ship, the money will inevitably take a land route, which is here." Lu Hui pointed to Meiling on the map between Nan'an Army and Baochang County of Nanxiong Prefecture.
