157 seal

The dock was gradually quiet, and the boat in front of him was already quietly leaving the water bay.

Xie Wan hurriedly said, "Follow him quickly!"

Xing Zhu said, "Huo Yu, come and row the boat, and I'll follow you!" With that, he had already gone ashore by the night.

The ship swims in the water. As long as you keep an eye on it, you can also track it on the shore.

Xie Wan looked at the dock, and the people had gradually dispersed. Cheng Yuan and the others had also stepped on the ladder, leaving Tian Kong staring at the river with a lonely face in a daze.

Xie Wan sighed, "Let's go, Xing Zhu will go back by himself."

She is also a little disappointed with the failure of this plan. After all, if Tian Kun is disturbed by Mu Gui and can't be the helmsman, she will have to deal with the new person. This matter is not only a matter of money, but it mainly takes time to build trust. She understood Tian Kun's mood very well, but she couldn't help it.

Obviously, it was about to succeed, but it was inserted halfway. The man who just preached the message knew at a glance that he was not the person behind it. So, what kind of person will the person in the cabin be? Since he can make people carry out the name of Ji Ge Lao, it can be seen that his identity is not low. Is it possible that he is Tong Fen?

Huo Yan quickly shook the boat to the shore, and the journey was smooth and steady, and there was no loud noise.

Out of the canopy, Xie Wan clasped the canopy and went ashore by himself.

Back to the inn, Gu Xing hadn't slept yet. When she saw them coming back, she quickly asked Xiao Er to get hot water.

Before Xing Zhu came back, Huo Yan said, "I'll go and have a look. You take a rest first."

Just as soon as she walked downstairs, Xing Zhu had already entered the door.

Xie Wan quickly asked Gu Xing to welcome her in and asked, "Have you ever chased her? Who can I see?"

Xing Zhu drank a large glass of water and then said, "This boat is very strange. It sailed out of the dock and landed on the shore, and then there was no movement for a long time. I waited on the shore for a long time, but I didn't see anyone coming down, and I didn't move forward, so I tried to throw a stone up. Unexpectedly, there was no reaction at all. I then threw several more, but there was still no movement. So he had the courage to get on the boat. How could he know that there was no one in the boat!"

"No one?" Xie Wan was also surprised. He was surprised. If there is no one, how can the ship sail to the shore?

"They dived away." Huo Yan frowned and said. It is likely that they have found that someone was following them, so they abandoned the ship and fled.

Xie Wan muttered, "Is the man on the boat Tong Fen?"

"It's hard to say." Huo Yan touched his chin and frowned and said, "It is said that Tong Fen can only come forward at this time, but as far as I know, Tong Fen only has a position in the Cao Gang. In the government, he doesn't have the face to speak in front of Ji Zhenyuan. This person should be a higher identity than him.

When Xie Wan heard this, his eyebrows frowned more and more, "It's not Tong Fen. Could it be their rudder? But why did the chief rudder get in the following things, except for Tong Zhan?

"It won't be Tong Zhan either." Huo Yan said, "Since Tong Zhan is a guardian, he can't get out of the general rudder easily. It must be where Cao An is and where he is. Of course, Cao An will not get into these little things. He knows Tong Fen's mind very well. If he really agreed to let Tong Zhan be the helmsman of Cangzhou, he would have done it long ago. The rudder of Cangzhou is to change people, and it should not be Tong Zhan.

Cao An is the current chief helmsman of the Cao Gang.

Based on the unique status of the Cao Gang, Xie Wan has never called his name so directly, but in Huo Yan's mouth, whether it is the helmsman of the Cao Gang or the old Ji Ge Lao of the cabinet, he said his name so smoothly and naturally, and he didn't feel that he didn't have enough respect at all. But he was not arrogant. What appeared in his face were very gentle and natural emotions, as if he was just a subordinate around him.

But his analysis is also very reasonable.

Since Cao An can achieve the position of the helmsman, it is by no means so easy to fool. It is hard to say who will pick up Tian Kong's hand in the end, but as the helmsman of the world's first gang, he is really unlikely to pay attention to these things.

Since it's not, who will it be? And are you so afraid of being seen?

"Girl." At this time, Xing Zhu had finished washing and came out. He held something in his hand and said, "I just checked it in the cabin and found this thing from the board."

She stretched out her hand, took out a square block the size of a thumb and put it on the table.

It's actually a seal!

Xie Wan took it in his hand and looked carefully at the light. He saw that the seal was engraved with the word "lan" in the seal book, with a vermilion mark on the literal surface. The material was Shoushan stone, and the four corners that should have been sharp had been sharpened a little smooth.

"It's a private seal."

She frowned and said.

Huo Yu took the seal from her hand and wiped some residual mud from the face with his index finger and smelled it. Then he suddenly frowned and looked ahead, as if thinking about something.

Xie Wan said, "What do you see?"

He handed the seal back to her: "This is the 'rain mountain mud' issued by the imperial court to the major government."

Since the seal mud used in the government office is used, in this way, this person is likely to be a person in the government.

If it's from the government, it makes sense! Only the people of the government may be able to speak in front of Ji Ge Lao, and the people of the Cao Gang are most afraid of the people of the imperial government, so when Mu Gui saw the man who preached the message, his expression suddenly relaxed, because he knew that only the owner of this private chapter could relieve him at present!

The imperial court explicitly banned officials other than those related to transportation from colluding with the Cao gang. Although they did not get the evidence of their chaos, why did the people in the cabin hide their true face and intervene in such daily disputes?

The purpose of this person is probably to protect Mu Gui, and Mu Gui is also a person of Tong Fen, so in the final analysis, it is to protect Tong Yan. He is an official, and he is speculated that his status is not low. It is obvious that he has violated the law by coming forward to help the leader of a gang. Why did he do this?

Xie Wan sat down, holding his forehead and fell into meditation.

Yes, if you are from the government, why do you still have water escape? Unless it's a military officer. Nowadays, the world's soldiers and horses are in the hands of Huo Da, the Duke of the Protector, and the rest are also stationed in various places outside Beijing. Naturally, there are also Beijing officials and military officers, but at the same time, there is a Lan character in the name, and the military officers who work in the government office are obviously only the Ministry of War

So, is he a person from the Protectorate or the Ministry of War?

Anyway, this matter falls into her eyes, and it must be found out.

She took her index finger and stained some tea, put it on the engraving of the private seal, then stamped it on the white paper, gave it to Xing Zhu and said, "You go to the capital tomorrow morning to check the owner of this seal. Remember, don't hide, you have to find the results before you come back. If there is any clue in the middle, ask Luo Ju to write to me.

Behind Tong Fen actually involved the people of the court, and this person seems to be quite talkative in front of Ji Ge Lao, so she must find out what this person has to do with Ji Zhenyuan and Xie Rong.

This is no longer Tian Kun's business alone. Now, she can't let it go.

This night, Miles Yuan and Qian Zhuang did not come back. After Xing Zhu left, Xie Wan received a call from Tian Kun's subordinates. Cheng Yuan and others went to the capital with the ship and left a message to Xie Wan to let them go back to Qinghe in advance. They didn't go back until they got off the boat in the capital.

stayed and just waited for the news, so Xie Wan asked Gu Xing to pack up and go home.

It happened to snow halfway. The flying snow is reminding people that winter is coming, and the end of the year is coming.

When the six people came back, there were only three people. No one stood in front of them. After arriving home, Wu's mother hurriedly lit up the big fumigation stove in Fenglu Hall, complaining angrily about why she didn't let Xing Zhu come to deliver a letter in advance. Luo Sheng was busy with some dinner and asked the cook Aunt Yu Xuexiu was also busy carrying hot water to wait for Xie Wan to take a bath. They were all too busy.

However, looking at everyone's busy appearance, it adds a little warmth to my heart, and it's good to feel at home.

After returning home, the days also returned to the right track, and the small ripples between Cangzhou and Huo Yu were also squeezed behind the ensuing affairs.

Before Cheng Yuan and Xing Zhu return, the only thing they can do is to wait.

In the days when he went out, Lizi Hutong received two letters, one from Jin Yong. He sent a special letter to congratulate him because he learned about Xie Lang was in high school not long ago, along with some classics. Most of the letters are exhortations, and the tone has gradually softened compared with the past. He invited the two brothers and sisters of the Xie family to Beijing in their spare time.

This is the first time in two lives. Jin Yong took the initiative to invite them to his house as guests.

At the end of last year, Jin Yong was promoted to the imperial historian of the Metropolitan People's Court, and at the same time, he still served as the position of six subjects. According to Luo Ju's letter, Xie Rong has not often contacted Jinfu, but the friendship is still there, and he will still say hello when they meet.

Xie Wan only smiled at that time and did not comment on it. Zhao Zhen, who almost married Xie Wei back to be his stupid son's daughter-in-law, jumped into the official department, and because the court was short of talents who were well sensible with the crops, he soon went to the household department. It was impossible for Xie Rong not to investigate him. As soon as you check it, you will naturally know how Zhao Zhen entered the household department.

Although Xie Rong is unlikely to be the kind of person who will repay with resentment, with his love for Xie Wei, Zhao Zhen often shakes in front of him. He will always feel uncomfortable. This uncomfortable feeling will naturally be transferred to Jin Yong. And when he knew that the reason why Jin Yong would help Zhao Zhen was the result of Xie Wan's threading, he would not resent Jin Yong.

After seeing Xie Rong gradually alienated him, Jin Yong will naturally investigate the root cause.

But these two people are used to dancing with long sleeves. Even if they have grievances, they will definitely put them in their hearts. How can they put them on their faces? Therefore, what Luo Ju's men see is that they are still "promate". RS
