On the second day, everyone in the escort agency got up very early. The New Year had just passed and there were not that many ships. However, everyone in the escort agency did not worry about this. Instead, after packing up their things, they rushed the carriages and goods onto the ships.

A total of two ships were found, one was used to carry goods, and the other was used to carry people. Everyone in the escort agency moved very quickly, with more than a hundred people acting together, and the goods were loaded onto the ship one after another.

Wang Yi was not idle either. Wang Si and Li Changming both stayed there, watching the salutes, while Wang Yi joined in the procession of moving goods. After all, after eating, work still had to be done.

Standing near the side of the ship, Wang Yi glanced at the cabin at the back. Half of the cabins were occupied by horses. When Yu Feng saw this arrangement, he was afraid that Wang Yi, the royal guard, would be bored and angry with the animals, but fortunately Wang Yi helped him.

At the railing, there was no strange color on his face, and he didn't say anything to the horses, so Yu Feng felt relieved.

The ship weighed anchor and was about to set off when suddenly a man emerged from the woods on the shore. He looked like a scholar and stood panting on the shore, gesturing for everyone to stop.

Wang Yi frowned, and Yu Feng left, seemingly going to discuss with Feng Zhou.

Wang Si held the railing with both hands, stood on tiptoes, raised his little head, looked at the scholar on the shore, and asked Wang Yi: "Master, who is that person?"

Wang Yi squinted his eyes and guessed: "It should be a scholar who is in a hurry."

Wang Si seemed to understand, nodded, and continued to ask: "Then why did he stop us?"

Wang Yi was very patient. Although he answered Wang Si's question, he was sizing up the scholar, "She should be taking a boat to cross the river."

Li Changming rolled his eyes. Isn't this obvious?

Yu Feng walked out while Wang Yi and the others were talking, followed by Feng Zhou and the woman wearing a white bamboo hat. They all walked out and stood at the railing.

"Why don't we let him go on his own? We won't wait for him." Yu Feng suggested.

Feng Zhou nodded, "That's right. We escorts are most afraid of these accidents. Usually when we encounter such people, we would rather leave some money than take them with us."

The woman wearing a bamboo hat was obviously unwilling, "There are rules in the arena, and there are rules in escorting darts. Logically speaking, it is normal not to bring him with you, and it is moral to bring him with you."

A person who looked like a maid behind the woman wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the woman in a bamboo hat, "You decide for yourself, don't pay attention to me."

After saying that, the woman in the bamboo hat glanced at the railing and paused slightly. Wang Yi and others were standing there. The woman in the bamboo hat glanced at Wang Yi who was standing at the railing and left.

Naturally, the servants who followed him would not stay here, and they all left behind the woman.

Wang Yi glanced at Yu Feng and asked with a smile: "Second uncle, what should we do now?"

Yu Feng coughed and asked Feng Zhou, the leading escort who was standing there: "Brother Feng, what do you think we should do?"

Feng Zhou glanced at the scholar who was looking over here on the shore. Although it was a simple effort to help this young man, the morality of the world was reasonable, and he could still receive a good relationship, but that was before. Today is different from the past. Feng Zhou was in the Chang'an Escort Bureau.

Team, what does this kind of team fear most? What they fear most is naturally accidents.

Feng Zhou changed his mind and said: "Old man Yu, don't pay attention to it, just lift the anchor and leave here."

Yu Feng nodded. Although he couldn't bear it, there was nothing he could do about it. He had to listen to his boss's words. After all, he was also eating this bowl of rice.

I walked to the railing and told the boatmen to put away the ropes and leave. However, before I could get far, the ship's hull shook violently. The anchor rope was tied to a pillar on the shore. As soon as the ship left this place,

On the other side, the anchor rope was pulled straight, and a squeaking sound made Wang Yi and others standing at the railing tightly cover their ears.

The faces of the boatmen and escorts on the ship all darkened. If the scholar made such a fuss, the ship could easily turn over, and everyone on the ship would fall into the water. The cargo would be no different than damaged.

Feng Zhou's eyes flashed coldly, he looked at the scholar on the shore and said coldly: "Let him come up."

Even a kind-hearted person like Yu Feng was angry with this scholar, and his murderous intent was released vaguely. After hearing Feng Zhou's instructions, Yu Feng nodded and put this man on the boat.

It's okay that he's still a scholar who doesn't understand anything. If he has ulterior motives, then Yu Feng won't mind using some means to let him know that the Chang'an Escort Agency is not someone to be trifled with.

Yu Feng came to the boatman and gave some instructions. The boatman nodded and docked the boat. The scholar stood on the shore and shouted to the people on the boat: "Boatman, boatman, are you here to pick me up?"

Yu Feng walked to the bow of the ship with an indifferent expression, "I don't know what this young master did to stop the ship we were waiting for."

The scholar was a little confused by Yu Feng's words. Listening to the unkind tone of his words, the scholar guessed that his actions just now made them angry.

"Uncle, you are going to cross the river. By coincidence, I am too. Let's go together."

Yu Feng did not refuse or agree, he just said: "What you said, the New Year has just passed, and there are not many people on the road. People like us have no choice but to go on the road. You, a scholar, will not stay at home during the New Year, but instead

When you walk on the road, you have to make people suspicious."

"Bah, you are saying that I have ulterior motives. I am also a scholar and a gentleman. I also know a lot about the principles in the books. What should be done and what should not be done are all written by the saints in the book. You doubt that I do it?

What."

Feng Zhou waved his hand, stepped forward, and smoothed things over: "Since you don't believe me about this young master's travels, and we can't believe you either, then let's go to different directions."

Feng Zhou pulled out the long knife from his waist and reached out to cut off the anchor rope. When the scholar saw Feng Zhou's action, he panicked. There were not many ships near the ferry, and the Escort's ships were the last two nearby.

Now, if the scholar wants to cross the river after leaving here, he doesn’t know when.

The scholar shouted, "Don't cut it off, don't cut it off, I'm really not a bad person."

Feng Zhou obviously didn't believe it. He pondered for a moment and asked, "What are you doing when you cross the river?"

The scholar didn't want to tell anyone about his life experience, but he looked at the leader's long knife hanging on the anchor rope. If he didn't tell the truth, he might really cut it off.

The scholar reluctantly said: "I am from the Liu family across the street. At the end of the year, I got angry with my parents and ran away. Now that I have spent all my money, I want... I want to go back."

"Liu family?"

Feng Zhou murmured. Who is this Liu family?

With doubts, Feng Zhou looked at Yu Feng aside. Yu Feng looked at Feng Zhou's confused eyes and explained: "I have heard of the Liu family, which is considered a big family in the local area. The head of the Liu family, Liu Ruzhen, was in the Imperial College when he was young.

After studying, when he got old, he returned to his hometown and became a landlord. It is said that Liu Ruzhen had a son, the seventh eldest in the family, and people called him Liu Qi."

"reliable?"

Yu Feng nodded, "I'm just a nerd, I don't even have a star, I should be able to rest assured."

Standing on the shore, looking at the two people discussing on the bow of the boat, Liu Qi was young after all, and said impatiently: "Hey, hey, hey, brothers, have you discussed it yet?"

Feng Zhou finally nodded and signaled the boatman to put him on. Liu Qi was overjoyed and came to the boat in a few steps. However, as soon as he got on the boat, he was surrounded by several people from the escort agency and took him away. It seemed that he was imprisoned.

Get up, and you won't be able to see the sun until you get off the boat.

Wang Yi followed the railing and walked to Yu Feng, who was directing the boatmen, and asked curiously: "Second uncle, this Liu family is just a wealthy gentleman. Is he so famous around here?"

Yu Feng glanced around and saw that there was no one around, and whispered: "Mr. Wang, you don't know this. The reason why the Liu family is famous in this place is of course not based on Liu Ruzhen's reputation in the Imperial College, but on their family's reputation."

Lychee Garden.”

"Lychee Garden?"

Yu Feng smiled and explained: "Which concubine is the current emperor's favorite?"

Wang Yi subconsciously replied: "Concubine Yang."

Yu Feng chuckled, "Those people in Chang'an City know this, but do you know what Concubine Yang's favorite food is?"

"litchi!"

Wang Yi figured out the key in an instant. It turned out that the Liu family's fame was due to this little lychee.

"A small lychee is not enough."

Yu Feng said lightly: "Why not, sir, do you know that because of this little lychee, just because the imperial concubine likes to eat it, most of the land in Tingzhou has been enclosed by the Huailai Yang family to grow food?

That may only be a small part, most of them are planted with lychees by the Yang family, and the fields of those armies have been used for this. I am afraid that the granary of my Daming Tingzhou has been empty for more than a year."

Wang Yi frowned. Although he was in Chang'an City and had heard about what Huai Lai Yang had done, he never thought that what they did was so excessive.

"Is there no one to take care of it?" Wang Yi asked the key question.

Yu Feng sighed and said close to Wang Yi's ear: "No one dares to take care of it. In the past few years, there were people who took care of it. There were several imperial envoys from above. Some of them had conscience and wanted to report to the emperor. They even wrote memorials.

But before the memorial was sent out, he was found dead in the inn. A total of four adults before and after him were all dead, and no one dared to take care of it after that."

Wang Yi looked indifferent. Is Daming really hopeless?

The Yang family in Huaili was so arrogant that he treated Tingzhou as his own back garden, despised national laws, looked down upon human life, and was lawless.
