My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

The person who spoke was Fu Zhiyi.

He Dadang's sampan happened to be parked near the official ship. He felt humiliated when Fu Zhiyi looked down at him from such a high position.

A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he spat: "Damn it, he's just a little white face who relies on the power of others. Even if he is a dog of the court, he dares to talk to your Master He like this?"

"If you know what's good for you today, kneel down and beg for mercy. From now on, I will recognize your Master He as my grandfather, and I will spare your life!"

"If you don't know how to appreciate my kindness, your Grandpa He has plenty of strength and means to help you. I'll show you how powerful your Grandpa He is—"

Fu Zhiyi sneered: "Then let me see the power of you bandits who are causing trouble to the area. Archers, prepare--"

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of strong men armed with bows and arrows rushed out from behind him and from the ships in front and behind.

The bows were strung and drawn, ready to shoot, just waiting for the order.

He Da's face turned dark. He looked around and realized that these ships had blocked their way and surrounded them at some point.

Suddenly they realized that they had been fooled——

At this moment, the ships that passed through the narrow bend heard the movement behind them and looked back, but the fog was so thick that they could not see clearly.

One could only vaguely hear the deafening sound of killing and the glow of fire.

They were all very frightened and felt that they had escaped by luck. They did not dare to stay any longer and hoisted their sails and headed forward as fast as possible.

Putting the sound of killing behind...

After passing the most dangerous area, the Lin family's boat took the lead.

We went downstream all the way and didn't even dare to stop at night.

Finally, in the early morning of the next day, we arrived at the wharf of Tongcheng, the county town closest to Canggou.

Then it stopped.

The boats behind also rushed up one after another, crowded together, still in shock.

But now that we have arrived in Tongcheng, everyone is safe.

Such a big thing happened, and many people started to talk. Soon, the news spread throughout the dock that bandits were robbing and even the official ship was not spared.

Lin Dejiang had already gone to the next few ships to inquire about the situation at that time, and came back with a pale face.

This situation is wrong!

That's not what Lord Fu told him at the beginning.

Lord Fu told him that in order to allow all ships to pass smoothly, the official ship would stay in Canggou. After all the ships had passed safely, it would escort them to Tongcheng at the end.

However, his wife was delicate and could not stand the sight of pirates, so he was afraid that she would be frightened, so he sent her to the Lin family's boat to stay for two days.

Wait until the official ship catches up and then take Mrs. Fu over.

When Lin Dejiang heard this, he sighed and said that Lord Fu was indeed a good official and a gentleman.

Willing to take risks to protect them.

Later, he was even happier. If the Lin family could establish a relationship with Lord Fu and his wife, the county lord, through this matter, it would be of great benefit to the Lin family in the future.

Lin Dejiang naturally would not refuse such a good thing.

He immediately agreed with a pat on his chest, and also promised that he would definitely protect Mrs. Fu and hand her over safely to Lord Fu.

But now, this official ship has also been robbed? What about Master Fu?

Lin Dejiang didn't dare to think too much about it.

After finding out the news, he hurriedly informed Daman and Jingzhe.

Daman and Jingzhe's expressions changed. They signaled Lin Dejiang to wait here while Daman went in to report.

After listening to Daman's report, Lu Zhenzhen remained silent for a long time.

Daman was anxious, but he didn't dare to speak.

After a while, Lu Zhenzhen asked, "Did the Fourth Master tell you anything in the end?"

Daman thought for a moment, "The Fourth Master told me and Jingzhe to stay by Fourth Madam's side and wait patiently."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but say: "But the people on the last few boats that escaped said that there was a thick fog on the river, and they could only hear the sound of killing and a huge fire. Is there anything wrong with the Fourth Master?"

He didn't dare to continue.

Lu Zhenzhen was also worried.

But at this moment she could only trust Fu Zhiyi's arrangements.

At this moment, everyone was at a loss, so she had to stay calm.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhenzhen said calmly, "Since the Fourth Master has told you and me to wait with peace of mind, we will just wait with peace of mind."

"Go out and tell Lin Dejiang not to panic. If he's willing, he can wait here for two more days. If he's anxious, he can leave first. You guys go to the county town and book an inn, and we can wait there."

Seeing that Lu Zhenzhen was not panicked at all and was able to make arrangements calmly.

Dama's heart calmed down, and he agreed and went out.

After a while, he came back.

Lin Dejiang was a little nervous at first, but when he saw Daman was calm and heard what Lu Zhenzhen said as relayed by him, he felt more at ease.

I finally established a relationship with Lord Fu. If I leave now, won’t all my previous efforts be in vain?

It would be better to stay here peacefully and take good care of the county lady. When Lord Fu comes back, will there be any benefit from him?

Even if, in the unlikely event that Mr. Fu couldn't come back and died at the hands of the pirates, he would still have made some contribution by protecting the County Lady, right?

When the imperial court investigates him, his merits and demerits can be offset, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Dejiang made up his mind to stay in Tongcheng and wait for news.

Seeing that Lin Dejiang stayed to wait for news, other ships also stayed behind as well.

There were also those who took advantage of this opportunity to sneak away quickly.

Lin Dejiang is also a wonderful person.

Without waiting for Lu Zhenzhen to speak, he compiled a booklet about who was in charge of the ships that stayed and left, what cargo was on their ships, where they were going, and what they were doing, and asked Daman to deliver it over.

Lu Zhenzhen flipped through the brochure and saw that twenty-nine ships, eight of which were passenger ships, had taken this opportunity to escape.

Of the remaining twenty-one cargo ships, half ran away, leaving only eleven.

Some people here have already gone to the Tongcheng County Government to report to the authorities.

The rest were helpless, but they didn't dare to leave. They gathered on a boat and looked worried.

Lu Zhenzhen didn't expect that someone would report it to the police.

Logically speaking, she should have brought it up first as soon as they reached the shore.

But she was not sure whether the Tongcheng County Magistrate and the local garrison were colluding with the pirates.

After all, the pirates have been causing trouble for so long, and the imperial court didn't know about it. It's easy to guess that someone must have concealed it.

Tongcheng is the closest, so it is naturally the most suspicious.

So she hesitated.

I don’t know what the current situation is on Fu Zhiyi’s side, after all, a night has passed.

When she couldn't determine whether the Tongcheng County Magistrate was one of her own, Lu Zhenzhen didn't dare to risk letting people know that she was on Lin Dejiang's boat.

She gave Daman a few instructions, asking Lin Dejiang to control his men and not expose them.

Lin Dejiang didn't dare to think too much about why Lu Zhenzhen said that, and went to make arrangements with a trembling heart.

It was not until the evening that a strange face, carrying Fu Zhiyi's jade pendant, was brought to Lu Zhenzhen by Daman.
