Tibetan Sea Pearl

Chapter 55 Immortals

The chief secretary's yamen, the chief envoy is restless.

He also went to see Liu Jiang's body, not to mention how miserable his death was. Thinking of that scene, the governor's heart turned sour, and he wanted to vomit out the breakfast he had eaten in the morning.

The subordinates sent to secretly monitor Liu Jiang's body came to report, but no suspicious person was found approaching.

This is a bit strange?He had been worried that people from Liu Jiang's gang would come to steal the corpse, so he sent someone to guard the city gate day and night.

The subordinates took a peek at the face of the chief envoy. Fortunately, they continued to say, "The corpse has been hung on the city gate for three days. They all hold their noses and go, my lord, what should we do now?"

The corpse was hung by the emperor's grandson, and he didn't dare to send someone to fetch it. The chief minister walked around the house twice with his hands behind his back, and after thinking of a way, he ordered his men to go down to the magistrate's office next door.

He couldn't handle this matter, so he kicked the ball to Zhifu Lin and let Zhifu Lin handle it. Young people are always impulsive because they are very angry.

In the magistrate's office next door, Lin Cheng was fascinated by looking at the banana tree outside the window with his hands behind his back. The people on the farm rushed into the city to report, and Sanniang brought Su Yue into the city.

When Sanniang heard the news about Liu Jiang, she must be restless, which was expected by Lin Cheng, but why did Su Yue follow?Su Yue is clumsy, but with a woman's intuition, she can definitely guess Sanniang's identity. Does she understand the principle of protecting oneself wisely?

Lin Cheng sent Nan Song to follow secretly, and Nan Song came back and told Lin Cheng that Su Yong had returned to Su's house and left San Niang at the inn.

Lin Cheng had only met Sanniang once, she looked like a weak Liu Fufeng on the surface, dressed like a layman who had lived at home for a long time and had nothing to do with the world, Lin Cheng recalled what Nansong reported to him, Sanniang's two days whereabouts.

Sanniang went to a small courtyard of a fish seller twice.

Nansong told Lin Cheng that a tunnel was dug in that unremarkable courtyard, leading directly to the sea outside the south gate, so that people could escape by boat if something happened, and the fish seller's courtyard was a contact point for Liu Jiang.

Sanniang also rowed alone to the island where Liu Jiang was the king.

What on earth does this third lady want to do?

It was drizzling outside the window, and the raindrops rustled on the emerald green banana leaves.

Lin Cheng listened intently to the sound of the rain hitting the plantains, and understood Sanniang's intentions, "Then I'll help her."

The official in charge of the yamen came over and asked, "What about the corpses under the city gate? They all stink."

Lin Cheng was going to find the emperor's grandson, "If the emperor's grandson wants to hang up, let him hang up."

When I went to the place where the emperor's grandson lived temporarily, I heard the sound of actors singing. It turned out that the emperor's grandson set up a stage in the courtyard and invited the best German singer in Guangzhou to sing.

The emperor's grandson was eating snacks, lying on the rocking chair, and the little waiter beside him was fanning once and for all.

After a rain, the hibiscus next to it fell to the ground.

The servant whispered, "Lord Lin is here."

"Brother Lin, why are you here?" The emperor's grandson greeted Lin Cheng while sitting on the rocking chair, and asked his servant to help him with a rocking chair and give him a seat.

Lin Cheng looked down at the empty rocking chair that had just been moved, did the emperor ask him to listen to an opera together?But when he comes to discuss important matters with the emperor's grandson, what does it look like to discuss important matters while lying on the rocking chair?

The play just sang the section of "Liu Hai Chops Woodcutters". The singer on the stage was a famous actor from the Deyin class. The Huagu opera sang very well. Lin Cheng stood and listened for a while.

It took a long time for "Liu Hai to chop woodcutters" to be sung, and the emperor's grandson rewarded a silver ingot very happily, and the servant put it on a tray and gave it to the performer just now.

"Thank you, son, for the reward." The famous character looked in the direction of the emperor's grandson, knelt and saluted, and was led out by the servant.

There was no one around, the emperor grandson said, "Brother Lin will go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, so tell me, what's the matter?"

"I brought bayberry wine, and we talked while drinking."

The last time I went to the Lin Mansion, Lin Cheng said that there was this year's newly brewed red bayberry wine. The emperor's grandson felt itchy in his heart when he didn't drink it last time. There is a daughter red in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know what the wine made from red bayberries in Lingnan tastes like?

The grandson of the emperor patted Lin Cheng on the shoulder, "If I had brought bayberry wine, I wouldn't let you listen to the show for so long."

When they arrived at the flower hall where the guests were received, the emperor's grandson ordered the servants to order two dishes to go with the wine in the kitchen.

The wine soaked from the bayberry was a beautiful purple-red color. The emperor couldn't wait to take a sip. The taste was sweet and fruity, and he sighed, "Good wine."

"Your Highness is really good at luring snakes out of their holes." Lin Cheng said while refilling the wine for the emperor's grandson.

The emperor's grandson narrowed his eyes, "No matter how tall you are, you will see through."

"Liu Jiang faked his death, and the people under the gang lost their backbone, just like a building without its foundation. The collapse only happened in an instant. The gang members dispersed. When Liu Jiang came back, the situation was over. It would be difficult for him to make a comeback." Lin Chengdao .

Thinking of Liu Jiang living like a loach and escaping from his grasp twice and three times, the grandson of the emperor sighed, "This Liu Jiang is too difficult to catch, and I have no other way to make such a bad plan. I want to get rid of the imperial court's call for security as soon as possible." When it’s over, it will change over time.”

Lin Cheng nodded, "Pease the people under Liu Jiang, let them break up as soon as possible, pack up and go home, that's the top priority right now." When Liu Jiang comes back, it will be troublesome.

Regarding the appeasement policy, the emperor grandson couldn't make up his mind, remembering that the two meetings with Liu Jiang were not smooth.

He wanted to imitate Shi Gong's "Water Margin", and used his official position to lure Liu Jiang for the first time, but Liu Jiang was unmoved. That is an official position above the third rank, and no matter how many scholars who take the imperial examination, they can't reach it even if they strive for it all their lives He was easily rejected by Liu Jiang because of his height.

For the second time, countless rare treasures were collected and presented to Liu Jiang, but Liu Jiang disdained it.

Sending two stunning beauties, Liu Jiang didn't even look at them.

Are there people in the world who don't love officials, money, or beauties?He Liu Jiang is a god.

The emperor's grandson couldn't understand, what do Japanese pirates like Liu Jiang want?

Does Liu Jiang want Jiangshan?

The emperor's grandson was taken aback by the thought that popped up in his mind, and quickly took a sip of bayberry wine.

After listening to the empress dowager's complaint, Lin Cheng smiled faintly, "His Royal Highness seldom walks among the people, and it's only natural that he doesn't experience people's livelihood."

The emperor's grandson drank wine depressedly, "Is there a good plan?"

"Land is the foundation of the people. Most of the people in Liu Jiang's gang are farmers who have no land in their hands, or who have fled from natural disasters and starvation. For them, an acre of good land is worth countless silver. Farmers have land If you can farm, you will live and work in peace and contentment, and rewarding officials and beauties is not as good as rewarding the fields."

The grandson of the emperor was enlightened, and suddenly realized, "Listening to Brother Lin's words is better than studying for ten years."

After being dialed by Lin Cheng like this, the emperor's grandson was in a good mood, and he strongly invited Lin Cheng to drink.

The two exchanged glasses and drank freely. Red bayberry wine was soaked in shochu made of glutinous rice and fresh red bayberry. It had a lot of stamina. After a pot of red bayberry wine came down, Lin Cheng was a little drunk.

The emperor's grandson was not good enough to drink. After only drinking three glasses, his face was already flushed and he started talking nonsense.

Coming out of the place where the emperor's grandson lived, it was already dark, Nan Song helped Lin Cheng into the carriage of Lin's mansion.

The carriage drove slowly on the streets of the city, and the noise of the night market came into the car.

The small carriage smelled of alcohol, and Lin Cheng felt suffocated, half drunk and half awake, he opened the curtain to breathe, and a breeze blew on his face, waking him up.

A familiar figure on the side of the street came into view, it was Su Yong, the second daughter of the Su family. I haven't seen her for a long time. She seems to have lost weight, with a light figure.Standing next to him was a man who was a head taller than Su Yue. Two figures, one tall and one short, were walking side by side on the street. Looking from the back, they were very close.
