Chapter 12 Water Bandits
"It seems that the young master has a good chance of passing the imperial examination this time!" Red carp is not easy to see, and Guan Qi was very excited.
"I hope so." If he could really pass the imperial examination, he could also take Yunniang on a long trip.
Although the Wu Dynasty continued the Tang style, the discipline of women was not so strict.
However, after marriage, women are often entangled in trivial matters and trapped in the inner house. They rarely have the opportunity to travel far and see the world. He hopes Yunniang can do this.
We were supposed to reach Chang'an in two days, but suddenly bandits appeared. Fortunately, the bandits only wanted money and did not intend to kill us.
Su Qinchao was more tactful than the people on this boat and handed over his money and property early. The pirates saw that he was going to take the exam and actually left him some money.
But just because they know what's good for them doesn't mean other ships will do the same.
Just now, a nearby boat caused a commotion. It was said that a man in his thirties or forties had money for his old father's medicine and refused to hand it over. When forced into a corner, he even jumped into the water to protect his money.
But this was a canal, and those bandits were good at swimming. They caught him in just half a cup of tea. He also had two bloody wounds on his body, which was very scary.
Because he really couldn't bear it, Su Qinchao bravely stopped the leader of the water bandits and pleaded for mercy with several other candidates.
Because there was a reason for the incident, the bandit leader spared the man, but he would definitely not return the money.
Su Qinchao helped the man back to his room and ordered Guanqi to change his clothes and apply medicine to him.
When he wakes up, I will persuade him with kind words. When we arrive in Chang'an, I will lend him money to buy medicine to save his father, no matter when I return it. Only then will I appease this man.
Because of this incident, they were delayed on the river for one more day and did not arrive in Chang'an until the third day. As soon as they got ashore, they saw Gao Zhili who came to greet them.
He borrowed some money from Gao Zhili to send the man away, and then followed Gao Zhili into the carriage. Along the way, the two talked about each other's experiences in the past few days. After not seeing each other for three years, their feelings were still the same.
After returning to Gao's house, Gao Zhili first took Su Qinchao to meet his wife Xu, and had dinner together, and then took him to the guest house to stay.
The two of them chatted facing the moon with their wine glasses until late at night, until Xu came to urge them to go back to their rooms to rest.
Not surprisingly, Su Qinchao woke up the next day with a splitting headache, which was not relieved until he drank the sobering tea brought by Guanqi.
"Young Master, Master Gao sent someone to tell you early in the morning that he will take you out for a walk after he finishes his shift." Guanqi took the empty bowl handed to him by Su Qinchao, and hurriedly handed him a bowl of porridge.
Because of his outstanding achievements in Li County, Gao Zhili was transferred back to Chang'an at the end of his three-year term. With a little help from his father-in-law, he is now the chief secretary of the Secretariat.
Although he was still of the seventh rank, it was considered a high promotion in Chang'an, under the feet of the emperor.
"Got it." After drinking the porridge, Su Qinchao lay down again. He hadn't slept well during these days on the boat due to the shaking, so he needed to make up for the sleep.
...
Originally, Su Qinchao planned to sleep for a while, and then go for a stroll in Chang'an City with Gao Zhili when he got off work.
Unexpectedly, when he woke up, the sun had already set and Gao Zhili had not returned.
After sending Guanqi to the front yard to inquire, he found out that Princess Yucheng had suddenly come to Beijing alone and complained to the emperor that Prince Consort Shen was addicted to the Five-Stone Powder and favored actors.
When she mentioned that her husband occasionally expressed resentment towards Li, she begged for a divorce.
The emperor was furious when he heard this and was sending people to Yucheng to investigate. If the situation was true, the son-in-law would be immediately arrested and brought back to the capital.
The personnel to be dispatched have not yet been determined, and Gao Zhili has been temporarily listed among them. He will not be able to return for a while. Xu also specially asked someone to prepare clothes and bedding and send them in. It is estimated that he will be busy for some days.
Princess Yucheng is the emperor's elder sister. She has been exiled for fifteen years. This is the first time that Princess Yucheng has gone to the capital to cry for help. Unexpectedly, such a big event broke out.
"I see. Then let's go shopping by ourselves. We haven't seen the night market in Chang'an yet." I had been fascinated by the night market since I read "Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty" in my previous life.
