Chapter 483

The boat finally approached the Jinling Wharf slowly, and the Long Jinwei and the Nanjing Criminal Department gathered on the wharf nervously watched and looked around, watching out for suspicious persons.

There was even a team of musketeers ambushing in the warehouses on both sides of the pier, and they were ordered to shoot any suspicious persons if they were in danger.

The people on the two ships before and after were also tensed up. This should be the most dangerous time, and once you get off the ship and leave the pier, if you want to make a move in Jinling City, don't even think about running away. Generally speaking, no one would dare Ambush in the city.

When passing through the calmest water in the Dantu section, everyone was nervous for a while, but it was calm, and even the wind and the wind were so turbulent that all the soldiers took a retired official ship from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate as an ambush, and made a mess.

Then, everything was peaceful and peaceful, and the pick-up personnel from the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also exchanged pleasantries with Cui Jingrong on the pier, and then boarded the carriage and went directly to the Jinling City Guest House.

It is a guest house in name, but it is actually a reception post house for officials from all over Jinling City, mainly to receive high-ranking officials and nobles from the capital city.

Third Sister You kept her hand on the hilt of the sword, not daring to leave it for a moment.

She had never done this kind of role that was more like a bodyguard, and it was extremely difficult.

Unlike those who directly confront each other on the battlefield, one must maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times, keep an eye on six roads and listen to all directions, and detect all kinds of suspicious movements, which is really difficult.

Beside her, Qiu Qinxin looked curiously at this foreign woman whom she had quickly become acquainted with in the past two days.

Well, from Qiu Qinxin's point of view, this girl is a woman of a different race.

Although she can speak Northwestern dialect, her sword-browed blue eyes, deep sockets and high nose, and her figure that is more plump than that of her second sister-in-law, who has just weaned her child, do not look like a woman from the Han family.

I heard that she is the concubine of Mr. Feng, but she can tell at a glance that the other party is still a virgin. However, seeing that she is quite close to Mr. Feng, it is estimated that she has not accepted the house yet. reason.

But Qiu Qinxin really likes the other party's bold and generous temperament, maybe all people in the Northland are like this?

"Sister of the You family, don't be nervous. There are people ambushing in the warehouse over there, and the assassin probably won't come from there..." Qiu Qinxin watched the situation on the shore carefully, but carefully looked at the surrounding area from the corner of her eyes. Shore underwater.

This kind of killer who jumps up from the water suddenly is more secretive and unpredictable, but the time is very short, only a short breath.

A group of people can walk ashore on the boat board in a few steps. If they can't succeed, it may be difficult to escape their lives.

"Oh? How did my sister know there was an ambush over there?" Third Sister You asked in surprise.

Qiu Qin smiled sweetly, "Look, that barn was originally the best cover. It stands to reason that people must be guarded on both sides, but except for one person at the door, the other two sides are open, and look at that A few windows, the light and shadow of someone clearly walking, either the crossbowman, or the gunner, or even a trap, once the assassin appears, it may be that the window is opened, and the gunfire is fired,..."

Only then did Third Sister You suddenly realize.

Although she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she hasn't been through the rivers and lakes very much, and her experience in these rivers and lakes is even more lacking, so even Feng Ziying found that bringing her out is a burden at all, probably only for warming the bed, maybe I can protect myself while sleeping.

Third Sister You also realized this, so when people from the Qiushui Sword Sect, the Cao Gang, and the Salt Gang joined in, she followed Qiu Qinxin and Qiu Qinxin's second sister-in-law to inquire about the situation all day long, looking hard Studious attitude.

However, even though Third Sister You didn't know much about experience, she could still hear the loneliness in Qiu Qinxin's words, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't my sister say that the assassin is unlikely to be chosen, so I will do it here? Isn't this a good thing? Then Why is my sister still depressed?"

Qiu Qinxin shook her head, "It's impossible here, which means that these people may do something when they go to Songjiang or even Suzhou, which is even more unpredictable and dangerous, and the pressure on us to prevent and protect is even greater. "

But this is not what Qiu Qinxin said in her heart. She is still thinking about what her father said to herself a few days ago.

This time, the Qiushui Sword Sect almost gave it their all. Except for the father who didn't come because of his poor health, the elder brother, the second brother, himself and the masters of the sect all dispatched.

The eldest brother once asked his father why he paid so much attention to this matter. Moreover, Mr. Lin was seriously ill and he was about to leave office. An unknown.

His father didn't mention any other reasons. He only said that Mr. Lin has treated Qiu's family well in the past few years. Home is useful.

My father also mentioned with some concern that as the battalions of Nanjing's Fifth Army Commander's Mansion began to equip firecrackers, it is said that the battalions in Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places may also start to equip firecrackers in the next step, and the appearance of firecrackers Undoubtedly, it is a great threat to the Jianghu sects and standard bodyguards like them who rely on swords to make a living.

When a master who has practiced hard for decades can't even stand up to a team of three players who have practiced three-stage firecrackers for a year, this kind of shock and sense of loss is self-evident.

Of course, Qiu Qinxin would not talk to Miss You about this, but his father made it very clear that if the officials in the yamen could not see the usefulness of the Qiu Sect and the Qiu family to the court, then even if they did not change I am afraid that it will be very difficult for the Qiu family to obtain the qualification of this nest merchant for this Xunyan Yushi.

The imperial court and officials are very realistic. If you are a low-level role in a mere martial art school, if you are not of much use, what qualifications do you have to compete with other salt merchants with deeper backgrounds and connections?

Even if your disciple becomes a concubine for Xunyan Yushi, it won't work, because the benefits involved are too great.

Qiu Zangfeng's youngest junior sister, Song Rushan, was Lin Ruhai's concubine six years ago, and it was with this concubine that the Qiu family began to truly enter the road of nest business. At the time of the fastest development, but seeing that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, Qiu Shuijian could not help but worry about this situation.

In fact, Qiu Qinxin even vaguely understood some of her father's thoughts, but she pretended to be confused when his father didn't say it clearly.

My father actually hoped that the Qiushui Sword Sect could play a role in this round of escort operations, which also meant that the gang of assassins had to take action. If it was just a simple guard protection without any accidents, then the Qiushui Sword Sect would be very effective. It is difficult to demonstrate its own strength and role.

But also if the assassination is successful, even if it only causes some damage, then the Qiushui Sword Sect will have no good fruit to eat, so this also makes Qiu Qin very conflicted.

After entering Jinling City, Feng Ziying could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The guest house was very closely guarded, and Long Jinwei, the Nanjing Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Jinling Mansion all had special personnel in charge of guarding. They completely regarded this group of people as the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the case, or even higher.

Everyone on the ship was a little nervous, and now they are finally relieved. Cui Jingrong also gave everyone a vacation for two days before going to the Longjiang Shipyard. However, Feng Ziying prefers to let the Longjiang Shipyard do the final work quickly. If you are prepared, you should make up for it.

"Ziying, I finally expected you to come." Jia Yucun came out from a long way to greet her, but the smile on his face was from the heart.

When I came to Jinling Mansion, I naturally wanted to pay a visit to this mansion lord.

In a short time, Jia Yucun has been working here for three years. Judging from the reputation of all parties, it seems to be not bad, it depends on whether there is a chance.

If the magistrate of Jinling Prefecture had become Yingtianfu Yin 30 years before Yuanxi, he would be a third-rank official. However, 30 years after Yuanxi, Yingtianfu was changed to Jinlingfu. The status has declined even more, so the prefect of Jinling Prefecture is not much different from other prefectures in name, and he is a fourth-rank official.

But even so, Jia Yucun's current status is not comparable to that of Feng Ziying.

From the sixth rank to the fourth rank, there is a difference of five levels in the middle. In theory, even if you are superior every three years, and you can get promoted as you wish, it will take 15 years to get to this step.

Of course, if you can have a strong background and credits such as the Western Expedition to Counter the Rebellion and even the strategy of opening the sea, there is also the possibility of exceptional promotion.

Feng Ziying already had a great advantage at the beginning. When everyone was still only at the seventh or regular seventh rank, he had already crossed this barrier and directly stepped into the sixth rank. Those of the same age have opened up a gap of at least three to six years.

"Brother Yucun, as soon as I arrived in Jinling, I came to visit you first..." Feng Ziying quickly walked a few steps.

This person's ability is not small, and people dare not underestimate him.

Now Jia Yucun is no longer completely dependent on Wang Ziteng. Although he and Wang Ziteng are still close, it is said that he has already established a line with Fang Congzhe, and also has connections with the official department.

Although he is twenty years younger than Jia Yucun, age is never counted in officialdom. If Feng Ziying is now the chief assistant, then the word brother Yucun can be saved, and Jia Yucun has absolutely no one. Maybe it is commensurate with "Ziying", it must be Lord Shoufu calling out at any time.

"Hehe, I've been looking forward to it for you, brother. I will arrange it at my residence tonight. I can't shirk it,..."

The two held hands together, which was also very affectionate.

Jia Yucun didn't feel uncomfortable because of Feng Ziying's age at all. Although Feng Ziying was from the sixth grade, he is now a celebrity in front of the cabinet and the emperor, and he has Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia as his backers. Who would dare to underestimate him?

That was beyond the reach of ordinary officials, so Jia Yucun naturally wanted to make friends.
