With Xie Lingyun's urging, the Xie family quickly arranged the matter of Zhou Chong's return to Songjiang. Originally, Xie Lingyun wanted to go back with Zhou Chong, but Zhou Chong saw that she was plagued by affairs during this period and couldn't take time.

So I finally persuaded Xie Lingyun to stay.

The next morning, Zhou Chong boarded the ship arranged by the Xie family and left Shuangyu Port. In addition to him, Xie Lingyun also arranged his bodyguard, the bald and scar-faced man, to the ship, to be responsible for Zhou.

Heavy safety.

Speaking of which, this uncle Hei was born in the Xie family. He has followed Xie Lingyun's father Xie Da since he was a child. He worked hard for the Xie family chamber of commerce for many years. He has saved Xie Da's life many times and is one of the most trusted people in the Xie family. Therefore,

After Xie Lingyun took over the family business, Xie Da arranged Uncle Hei to her side.

The Xie family's ship was very fast. It had arrived at Qingcun Port in Songjiang Prefecture just after noon. In order not to be discovered, Zhou Chong put on an ordinary servant of the Xie family, and then followed Uncle Hei to get off the boat and boarded.

The carriage ran towards Songjiang City.

It was very smooth along the way. Zhou Chong's carriage quickly entered Songjiang Mansion. However, Zhou Chong did not go home, but followed Uncle Hei and the others to the Xie family's house, where he waited until dark before he borrowed the

The cover of night ran towards Xu Guan's mansion.

Xu Guan, who was in the prefect's office, was also very anxious during this period. The court had issued an order to put Wang Lun in prison. Although he and Wang Lun were close friends, it was said that the saint's will was hard to violate, and although Xu Guan was in a state of mind, he was completely unfair.

I hope, but in the end I could only put Wang Lun in jail, and his identity was special and he did not dare to visit him. At most, I just told the prison chief to take good care of Wang Lun. I must not let his friends suffer any grievances.

After dinner tonight, Xu Guan returned to his study with a sigh. He has been thinking about how to help Wang Lun these days, but he has no idea. He is about to see the Jinyiwei who escorted Wang Lun back to the capital.

When he came, he was still helpless. Mr. Li in the capital had already tried his best. Is it really impossible to save Wang Lun?

Thinking of his relationship with Wang Lun for many years, he is now watching him being framed and imprisoned. He has no choice but to do anything about it, which makes Xu Guan, who is sitting behind the desk, sigh in a dark and depressed manner. However, just as he bows his head, he suddenly

Seeing a set of Journey to the West on the table, he couldn't help but think of Zhou Chong, and sighed again: "Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong, the monkey in your writing is brave and powerful, and can go to heaven and earth to omnipotence. If so

If you have such ability, Brother Wang doesn’t have to be afraid of being framed by villains!”

When it comes to Zhou Chong, Xu Guan thought of what Wang Lun had talked to him before. According to him, Zhou Chong is now unintentional in his career. Instead, he took over his father Zhou Hai's overseas business. Although he is doing a lot of money now, he is still in

Xu Guan’s opinion is a pity. With Zhou Chong’s talent, if he could enter the court, his future will be limitless. How can he be compared with a small smuggling merchant now?

Just when Xu Guan was feeling sorry for Zhou Chong, a knock came from outside the door, and then an old servant reported outside the door: "Master Qi, Xie's mansion sent someone to come, saying that it was an important matter.

Meet the master!”

Xu Guan was also stunned when he heard that it was from Xie's house. His wife and Xie Da's wife and sisters were very close, so he had a very close relationship with Xie's house, and some of his shares were included in the Xie family chamber of commerce.

.

"Please come in!" Xu Guan said in a deep voice. Although he was very upset now, the people from the Xie family still wanted to see him.

"Yes!" The old servant outside the door agreed and turned around and left.

After a while, Xu Guan heard footsteps coming from outside. Then as soon as the door of the study opened, a young man in a light green robe walked in, but when Xu Guan saw the young man clearly

When he looked, he was startled and stood up from the chair. However, there were servants in the mansion outside, so he forced himself to not call Zhou Chong's name.

"You all retreat!" Xu Guan calmed down his excitement, walked to the door of the study and ordered the servants outside. After all the servants retreated, he closed the door and then turned around and said, "Zhou

Chong, why are you here? Don’t you know that the Jinyiwei people were asking about your news some time ago?"

"Mr. Xu, I have taken the risk to come here to ask you to save Uncle Wang's life!" Zhou Chong politely said to Xu Guanshen. Xu Guan and Wang Lun have a deep friendship, and Zhou Chong is also very good at his character.

I admire him, so after seeing the other party, I didn’t take any turns.

However, when Xu Guan heard Zhou Chong's request, he smiled bitterly: "Nephew Zhou, why don't I want to save Brother Wang? But now the court has a life. I, a small prefect, dare not disobey the court's orders?"

"Mr. Xu misunderstood. My nephew did not want the adult to disobey the court's orders, but hoped that the adult could help Uncle Wang delay for a while!" Zhou Chong explained, and he naturally knew that Xu Guan was not capable of waive Wang Lun's crime.

It was just to ask the other party to find a way to delay Wang Lun in Songjiang for a longer time.

"Procrastinate time?" Xu Guan looked at Zhou Chong with some suspicion. He had heard Wang Lun say that Zhou Chong asked him to delay time until April. Then there would be a major change in the court, and Wang Lun would definitely be able to escape the crime.

, However, Xu Guan has always been very suspicious of Zhou Chong's approach.

Seeing Xu Guan's expression, Zhou Chong knew that the other party did not believe his words, so he had to explain: "Sir, I know this may be unbelievable, but I can guarantee that by April, a lieutenant general will happen.

A huge change will not only be innocent by then, but may even be successful. Now the key is whether we can help our uncle delay until the time when that big event happens."

Seeing Zhou Chong's sincere look when he was speaking and his mind was very clear, Xu Guan couldn't help but hesitate. Although he didn't have much contact with Zhou Chong, he also learned through his son Xu Shenzhong that Zhou Chong is not a fussy person.

People who speak vernacularly, and it is such a major matter, according to common sense, Zhou Chong will definitely not joke about this matter.

Though thinking of this, Xu Guan still hesitated: "Zhou Chong, this matter is related to Brother Wang's life. Are you sure that when April is coming, Brother Wang will definitely be fine?"

"Very sure!" Zhou Zhong nodded heavily, and then persuaded again, "Now Uncle Wang has been imprisoned, and the people from the court are coming soon. It can be said that we have no other way, and delaying time may be delayed.

There is still a way out, but if time is not delayed, I am afraid no one can save Uncle Wang!"

When Xu Guan heard this, he finally sighed and said, "Okay, I will try my best to delay the time, but the person who came to escort Brother Wang this time was the Jinyiwei. I was not sure about these people being arrogant.

How long can it be delayed?"

Seeing Xu Guan agreeing, Zhou Chong was extremely excited. He reached out and took out a stack of silver notes from his arms, and then gently placed them in front of Xu Guan. However, Xu Guan's face changed when he saw this and was very angry.

He said, "Nephew Zhou, what are you doing? Do you think I will still need to collect money for Brother Wang? Take it back quickly!"

Xu Guan cannot be considered a clean official. For example, he can still get some of the silver in the yamen, but he is a good official. This can be seen from the previous rescue of disaster victims. Moreover, he is more concerned about friendship and no

Like most people in the officialdom, they put interests first, so they only look so angry when they see Zhou Chong put the money in front of him.

However, Xu Guan obviously misunderstood Zhou Chong's meaning, and Zhou Chong hurriedly explained: "Mr. Xu misunderstood. My younger generation knows that Mr. Xu is honest and has a close relationship with Uncle Wang, so he will naturally not charge money, but this money is not

I gave it to the adults, just hope that the adults would use the money to treat the Jinyiwei who came to escort Uncle Wang back to Beijing. It would be better to let the other party accept the money. It would be better to delay a few more days on the road!"

Hearing that the money Zhou Chong took out was for this purpose, Xu Guan's face slowly calmed down and said apologetically: "So that's it. My nephew is really troublesome. Although those Jinyiwei are arrogant, they are all

Vampires, with silver opening up the way, they should be able to persuade them.”

Xu Guan said that, picking up the silver notes and looking at them, but he was shocked. He saw that the stack of silver notes were 1,000 taels per piece, with a total of ten, which means that Zhou Chong took out ten thousand taels at once.

Silver. Seeing such a large sum of silver, Xu Guan was also shocked and thought that Zhou Chong is worthy of being a smuggling merchant. He is indeed very generous. Such a large sum of silver is to buy ordinary Jinyiwei, he can get it.

It is enough for the capital to buy the command history of the Jinyiwei.

But what Xu Guan didn't know was that Zhou Chong was so poor now that the Chamber of Commerce had already spent 80,000 silver dollars raised before in order to buy ships and recruit ship workers. Not to mention 10,000 taels in the Chamber of Commerce, it was only 1,000 taels, but only 1,000 taels.

They were all a little reluctant. The soap he took to Xie Lingyun in advance to distribute, otherwise he would not be able to pay so much money if he was beaten to death.

After Zhou Chong discussed with Xu Guan, he went down to prison and met Wang Lun in prison. It turned out that although Wang Lun was in prison, he was in good spirits. With Xu Guan's care, he did not.

What hardships did Wang Lun feel very happy when he saw Zhou Chong. He once again told him to take good care of his daughter and not to worry about his affairs anymore. Whether he could survive this time depends on God's will.

After discussing with Wang Lun in prison for midnight, Zhou Chong left. By the time he returned to Qingcun Port, it was already dawn. At this time, the Xie family's ship was ready and could set sail at any time.
