Chapter 1074 Water Bandit (2)

The content of the chapter began to hear that there were sailors, and Zhong Minxiu was even more unafraid: "Grandma, when did you know about this?"

Qiu said with a smile, "Your father-in-law told me after dinner yesterday." This matter is confidential, but Han Jianming was afraid that Qiu would be frightened, so he told her about it.

Zhong Minxiu said with a smile: "I just find it strange that father-in-law is always cautious, why did he bring so many belongings from the boat back to Beijing this time." It turned out that these things were just bait.

Qiu said with a smile: "Six of the ships are the dowry that the princess gave to the princess and the second princess." The things bought for Zaozao before were not transported back to Hao City, and they were kept in the south of the Yangtze River. Purchased a lot of things. In addition, there are many rare items that Han Jianming is going to dedicate to Yuxi.

Zhong Minxiu said with admiration: "The princess is really amazing." Zhong Minxiu never concealed her admiration for Yuxi in front of Qiu Shi. To be a woman, one should be like a princess, able to rule the country and hold her husband firmly. It's a pity that she married a worthless husband, so she can only live on the three-acre land of the Duke's Mansion for the rest of her life.

After finishing speaking, Zhong Minxiu did not forget to flatter Qiu Shi: "Of course, the most powerful one is grandma, who actually taught a daughter who is so powerful as the princess."

Qiu laughed, and said: "I don't know a lot of Chinese characters, how can I teach her! She is eager to learn, and if she doesn't understand, she will ask your father-in-law and a few staff in the house. Your father-in-law used to be in front of me often. Sighing, she said that if Yuxi were a boy, she would definitely be named a marquis." At the beginning, she just listened to these words, and didn't take it to heart at all. Because in Qiu's heart, no matter how talented Yuxi is, she will spend her days wandering around the three-acre land in the back house. Who would have thought that she would have such a good fortune.

This is the first time Zhong Minxiu has heard of these things: "Father really has vision."

It was also at this time that Zhong Minxiu knew why Han Jianming abandoned his position as Duke and went to the northwest to join the princess. The prince is good at fighting and the princess has the ability to govern the country, and the husband and wife have one heart, so why worry about not being able to win the world.

The grandfather and grandson talked happily, but Xiang on the other side was terrified: "What are you talking about? Water bandits?"

Mother Xia also turned pale with fright: "Yes, they are water bandits. Ma'am, what should we do now? These water bandits are devoid of conscience, not to mention robbing property, they will even kill people to silence them." For fear of leaking According to the wind, they would not want even young and beautiful girls, they killed them all, and then smashed the boat and sank it.

Xiang was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp, Brother Ye couldn't even hold him steady.

Seeing this, Pu Ye hurriedly hugged Brother Ye, and then said: "Madam, didn't the master just say that nothing will happen. Madam, you should trust the master." Han Jianming hurried in just now, and said something outside He'll settle the matter and leave.

Believe it, how can you believe it? The water bandits are almost here, how can she believe it.

Mother Chen said: "Ma'am, let's go to the old lady's place!" Seeing Mrs. Xiang looking at her, Mother Chen said: "The master is the most filial, and he will definitely send someone to protect the old lady if he knows there are water bandits." The implication is, The old lady is the safest place.

Mama Xia glanced at Mama Chen, but said nothing.

Mrs. Xiang was completely confused, and said: "Yes, yes, let's go to the old lady." After speaking, he hurried out of the house with Brother Ye in his arms.

Seeing that Ruxia and the others didn't panic at all, Xiang thought they didn't know there were water bandits outside.

When she entered the house and saw Qiu, Xiang burst into tears: "Mother, there are water bandits outside. Mother, what should we do now?" I don't know if she and Brother Ye can escape this disaster.

Qiu Shi glanced at her and said very calmly: "I know!"

Xiang even forgot to cry, and asked, "Mother, what are you talking about? You know there are water bandits outside?" Knowing the water bandits, they are still so calm, how could it be possible!

Zhong Minxiu said with a look of surprise: "Mother, didn't father-in-law tell you that we have sailors accompanying us? These water bandits came just to wipe them out."

"Sailors? What sailors?" Sailors are only found along the coast, not inland at all.

Zhong Minxiu saw Xiang's panic-stricken look just now, so she knew that she didn't know that father-in-law had already prepared: "The water bandits are rampant in this area. The prince and princess have long wanted to suppress them, but they come and go without a trace. It just so happened The father-in-law wanted to return to Beijing, so the prince and the princess asked the father-in-law to bring a large amount of property back to Beijing, so as to attract the water bandits. However, in addition to the large amount of property, there are also a large number of sailors hidden on the ship." These sailors have been hiding on the ship, there is no show up. She didn't even know, and it was even more impossible for those water bandits to know.

Xiang asked conditionedly: "How did you know?" The master never told her about this.

Zhong Minxiu smiled and said, "My grandmother told me."

When Qiu heard this, she nodded and said, "Ming'er was afraid that I would be worried, so she told me about it yesterday."

It must be a few days before the water bandits want to do something. Because they will arrive in Tianjin in a few days, and the law and order in that area is very good, so they have no chance to do anything. After all, Qiu Shi is old, it's not a joke to be surprised in case of surprise. Just in case, Han Jianming told her about it. Xiang Shi is young, even if she is frightened for a while, she can recover quickly. It's a pity that Xiang didn't know these things. After hearing what Zhong Minxiu said, her heart felt like a knife.

Zhong Minxiu, who is so perceptive, deliberately asked in surprise in front of Qiu Shi when she saw this, "Mother, didn't father-in-law tell you about this?"

These words embarrass Xiang Shi.

Qiu didn't think much about it, and scolded Zhong Minxiu with a smile: "This is a confidential matter, how can I say it casually."

There were blue veins in Xiang's hands. Confidential events can be told to Qiu, but not to her wife.

Not to mention Zhong Minxiu, even Qiu Shi could see that something was wrong with Xiang Shi, but she only thought that Xiang Shi was overly frightened: "Don't scare the child, give me brother Ye."

Only then did Xiang realize that he had lost his composure.

Zhong Minxiu understood it. Xiang Shi fell in love with her father-in-law, so she became jealous when she saw that her father-in-law was too kind to her grandmother than her wife. But she knew about these things but she couldn't say them out loud, or she would be provoking trouble. Father-in-law is a shrewd man, knowing that she provoked grandmother to be dissatisfied with Xiang Shi, he will definitely hate her when the time comes. The father-in-law is the head of the family, and she is loathed by him, so there is no place for her in this house. But if grandma can see this for herself, then it has nothing to do with her.

At this moment, the sound of swords and swords sounded outside, followed by shrill screams. Although they knew that Han Jianming had made full preparations, everyone was still terrified when they heard these voices. This night, no one dared to sleep.

The eastern sky floated a white belly, and the earth gradually brightened up.

After Han Jianming dealt with the outside affairs, he changed his clothes and came to see Qiu Shi. As soon as he entered the room, he saw all the female relatives in the room looking at him.

Qiu asked, "The matter of the water bandits is settled?"

Han Jianming nodded and said, "It's all settled. Say hello to Li Qianhu later, and we'll leave." The follow-up will be handled by Li Qianhu.

Zhong Minxiu actually had a lot of questions to ask, but her seniority was too high for her to speak here. Besides, Han Jianming was her father-in-law, so he didn't dare to talk to him too much.

Qiu recited Amitabha: "You go and talk to Li Qianhu now, and we'll leave after we finish." There must be corpses everywhere outside now, and she doesn't want to stay here.

"Okay." After speaking, Han Jianming went out. Going this way deliberately is also because I am afraid that Qiu Shi will be worried.

Qiu said: "The matter has been settled, you go back!" She was about to chant sutras.

Zhong Minxiu was familiar with Qiu's temperament, so she didn't propose to stay, but obediently went out with everyone.

Normal people can't stand the fear for a night, let alone Zhong Minxiu is pregnant. Back in her own room, Zhong Minxiu said, "Go see what's in the kitchen?" She was sleepy and hungry, so she decided to eat and go to bed.

After a while, Lotus came over with breakfast. Although we are on the boat, the breakfast is quite rich, in addition to steamed stuffed bun rolls and egg custard, there is also soy milk.

When Zhong Minxiu was eating, He Hua said, "Second Grandma, Second Master is injured."

Zhong Minxiu gave his hand a pause, and then continued to eat. While eating, Zhong Minxiu asked, "How did you get hurt?"

He Hua hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's said to be an injury from fighting with water bandits."

With a chuckle, Zhong Minxiu said: "Do you think it's possible?" As for Han Jiachang's virtue, how could he dare to fight the water bandits, he was afraid that he would faint from fright when he saw the water bandits.

Lotus did not speak.

"Later, you will visit him for me later." Zhong Minxiu didn't want to visit Han Jiachang at all. In the past, there was no other way. In order to coax Han Jiachang, he had to put down his figure. Now that she is pregnant, she can avoid him openly.

"Okay." Lotus also felt wronged for Zhong Minxiu. Apart from being a concubine, my master is no worse than others in anything, yet he married such a worthless person.

But the lotus was in vain this time, because Han Jiachang was called by Han Jianming.

Han Jianming slapped Brother Chang and cursed, "Why did I give birth to such a wimp like you?"

Last night, Han Jianming arranged for someone to take Han Jiachang to kill the water bandits. Of course, it was impossible for Han Jiachang to kill the water bandits like that, it was just a show, so that he could get some credit for him so that he could find a job for him when he returned to Beijing. Unexpectedly, he was so scared that he wet his pants.

The person Han Jianming sent to protect him saw something wrong and wanted to take him to a safe place. Unexpectedly, Brother Chang's legs were weak and he couldn't walk, so they had to carry it on his back.

The water bandits were not stupid either. Looking at their behavior, they knew that Brother Chang's status was not low, so they rushed over desperately to kidnap Brother Chang. During the melee, Brother Chang was stabbed.

Brother Chang covered his face, cried and said: "Father, I was wrong." The defense will only lead to greater scolding and rebuke.

Men don't flick their tears easily, but they don't reach the sad point. It was just a slap in the face, and he burst into tears.

The mud can't support the wall, so it's useless to teach it. Han Jianming was very powerless and said, "Forget it, you can go back."

Brother Chang thought he was going to be scolded again, but he passed by so lightly. He didn't think about whether there was any deep meaning in it, he quickly stood up and said: "Yes." After finishing speaking, he ran out as fast as a rabbit.

Mr. Zhao entered the room, looked at Han Jianming's dark face, and persuaded him, "Don't be angry, master. The second master has never seen such a scene. It's normal to be frightened."

Han Jianming said angrily: "He won't get the credit for delivering it to the door, and he can only eat and die in this life." This time, Han Jianming was completely disappointed in Brother Chang. With this virtue, can he be the head of the family? Forget it, he would rather break the rules than let this wretch inherit the family business.

Mr. Zhao changed the subject: "Master, Li Qianhu's side is cleaning the battlefield, should we go over and have a look." Brother Chang is like this, even if he is pissed off, he can't change it.

Han Jianming didn't continue, but said, "How about I just let Brother Hua be the head of the house?"

Mr. Zhao shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate. The second master is the eldest son, and letting the fourth young master overtake him is not only inconsistent with the etiquette, but also brings hidden dangers."

Han Jianming sighed and said, "I mentioned this to the concubine, and she said that without rules, you can't be perfect." Yuxi also doesn't like Brother Chang, but there must be a legitimate reason to deprive Brother Chang of his heir rights , instead of a fluffy sentence of incompetence and inappropriateness.

Mr. Zhao couldn't bring this matter up anymore: "Master, this matter can't be rushed, let's deal with the current matter first!" Han Jian will be strong next year, and it will not be a problem to live another twenty years. He is almost sixty years old, and he will probably be dead in twenty years. So he didn't intend to get involved in this matter.

Three days later, the matter was reported back to the capital.

After reading it, Yuxi said with a smile: "Sure enough, they came out in full force."

Yun Qing said with a smile: "You are quite accurate."

"It's not that my calculations are accurate, but that human desires are infinite." These desperadoes can kill and abandon corpses for money, so how could they give up such a large amount of property. The good things of the Eight Great Boats, these treasures are enough for a group of them to eat and drink for a lifetime.

After a pause, Yuxi said again: "With these people removed, the Beijing-Hangzhou River Transport can also return to normal." Because of the existence of these desperadoes, few people dare to travel by water. The Qiu family and the Xiang family are ignorant and fearless, although Zhong Minxiu is worried, he has no right to object. Otherwise, it is unknown whether this plan can be implemented smoothly.

Yun Qing nodded, then said with a smile: "According to the date, Zao Zao and Liu Er should arrive in Baoding in these two days." The main reason is that Liu Er is worried. As for jujube, I am used to it often outside.

Yuxi said with a smile: "I said I can come back in time, look, it's still too early to be enthroned!"

"Zaozao's dowry is ready, how about Liu'er's dowry?" The two daughters are going to get married soon, and Yun Qing feels very sad when he thinks about it. It's just that no matter how reluctant they are, they can't stop them from getting married.

Yuxi was a little surprised, put down the folder in her hand and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?" Yunqin never asked about these things before.

A smile appeared on Yunqing's face, and he said: "Feng Dajun said that Zhixi misses Liu'er every day, and he is afraid that the child will get lovesick after a long time, so he wants their two children to get married as soon as possible."

"You won't agree, will you?" She is planning to set Zao Zao's marriage in the spring of next year. It is impossible to marry two daughters within a year, so Liu'er's marriage must be set in the next year.

Yun Qing hurriedly shook his head and said, "Without your consent, how dare I agree!" Although they could not be prevented from getting married, the main reason was that Yun Qing wanted to keep her daughter for a longer time.

Yuxi said with a smile: "Liu'er's marriage should be set at the beginning of the next year!"
