Zhao Hao ordered his men to march day and night, without stopping.

Finally, we arrived in Kunshan County early the next morning.

Seeing that the city gates were open and the ships were entering and leaving in an orderly manner, he finally felt relieved.

When we entered the city, we saw people going to work in Kunnan in groups, chatting and laughing.

Everything was normal on the street, with no signs of unrest at all. Mr. Zhao finally put his mind at ease.

It was not until he returned to Yaqian Street that he saw a long row of prisoners in shackles kneeling under the eight-shaped wall of the county government office.

"Oh, the young master is back!" The doorman Yu Men saw Zhao Hao and hurried out to greet him, opened the gate and invited the young master back to the yamen.

"What did these people do?" Zhao Hao asked casually.

"This bunch of scoundrels." Yu Men glanced at them with disdain and explained, "Seeing that Suzhou City is in chaos, they also want to take the opportunity to cause trouble and loot."

"Oh?" Zhao Hao frowned slightly and asked, "Any losses?"

"No. They didn't even wait for the police to arrive. They were beaten up by the common people. They were beaten to a pulp." Yu Men couldn't help but exclaimed: "If the police hadn't arrived in time, they would have all been beaten to death."

"The awareness of the people in Kunshan is quite high." Master Zhao couldn't help but praise.

"Of course." Yu Men patted his chest and said, "Anyone who dares to destroy the good situation in Kunshan will be the public enemy of the whole county!"

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad." Zhao Hao walked into the yamen with a big laugh, thinking to himself, why did my father ask me to come back?

~~

"Son, I'm worried about you." Mr. Zhao, who was about to go to Kunnan for an inspection, explained, "I'm not bragging, but looking at Suzhou Prefecture, the safest place is our Kunshan County. It's a mess outside right now, is it wrong to ask you to go home?"

"Seeing you back, Daddy feels relieved." He stretched out his hands towards Zhao Hao and said in a cheesy way, "Come, Daddy will hold you."

"Okay. Thank you." Zhao Hao quickly used the move of 'Look Back to Relieve Five Injuries and Seven Injuries' to dodge his father's clutches, and then pushed him directly into the sedan chair.

"It's getting late, old parents, please leave quickly. I have to hurry to Xishan too."

"What? You're leaving right after you got back?" Mr. Zhao poked his head out of the sedan chair. "Do you still want your father?"

"Master Zhao, we must speak with conscience. Now all the officials in the prefecture are on Xishan Island. Who do you think I am going there for?"

Young Master Zhao said unhappily, "Why don't I just stay at home and rest? Let them love whoever they want?"

"This, this, this..." Master Zhao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Then you should go, be careful on the road, and bring more guards. Cai Ming, you should also follow the young master."

"No need." Zhao Hao said decisively: "The county cannot relax at this time. Lord Zhao, please don't waste time. Be careful of a capsize in the ditch."

"How can this kid talk to me like this?" Master Zhao gave a bitter smile, lowered the curtain of the sedan chair and left.

Zhao Hao originally wanted to ask Xu Wei to accompany him to Xishan Island, but after asking, he found out that this guy had actually gone to Wucheng with Pan Jixun.

After all, the light of freedom shines on every feather of an artist, even if he is fat.

His wife is still there, but the writer has to stay in the county and cannot move.

Mr. Zhao had no choice but to go there alone.

~~

The "Science" left Kunshan County in the morning and headed west along the Lou River.

Although the boat is big, its sails and oars are fast, and it travels much faster than a small boat on the straight canal.

While he was having lunch with his two sisters on the deck, he saw several more columns of smoke rising into the sky in the distance ahead.

"Sir, we are almost at Suzhou City!" Captain Uncle Mi gave a timely reminder in the wheelhouse.

"Got it." Zhao Hao responded and quickly ate a few beef-stuffed pot stickers on the plate.

What? Where did the beef come from? Maybe this is life...

Then he picked up the telescope, stood up and looked out at the city of Suzhou.

Although there is a green wall blocking the view, the situation inside the city cannot be seen.

But Suzhou has a population of over one million, and the city has long since broken through the city walls. Outside the city gates are densely populated towns with numerous shops and prosperous markets, which are no less prosperous than those in the city.

So by looking at the situation outside the city, you can imagine what the situation inside the city is like.

It’s okay. Although the shops along the road have closed their doors, they are still in good condition.

Through the telescope, he could also see workers unloading goods at the dock; on the riverbank, some people were fetching water, some were carrying loads, and some children were peeing in the river.

Donkey drivers, firewood carriers, and all kinds of people hurried past on the street, seemingly accustomed to the current turmoil. It seemed that Mr. Zhao was making a fuss out of nothing.

When the Science gradually sailed away from Suzhou City, Zhao Hao put down the telescope, drank a glass of banana milk and prepared to take a nap.

Hey, why does it taste like papaya? Oh, I got the wrong cup.

Mr. Zhao put down his cup naturally and glanced suspiciously at Qiaoqiao and Secretary Ma, wondering who had such a unique taste.

Hmm, it seems to be Sister Ma's...

But why is Qiaoqiao blushing so much?

Incomprehensible.

~~

When Mr. Zhao woke up from his nap and walked out of the cabin feeling refreshed, he saw that they had arrived at Dasheng Bay.

Today, the defenses in Dasheng Bay have been significantly strengthened, with twice as many patrol ships as usual. The team leader is Macron, who has just been promoted to deputy captain of the security brigade.

Seeing Mr. Zhao's cool boat, he quickly ordered his men to bring the boat closer and then asked to board.

Zhao Hao ordered his men to lower the ladder and let Macron come up.

There was also a young man on the boat with him who looked about 50% similar to him.

"Sir, you are finally back!" Macron quickly bowed.

"Who is this?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

"This is my third brother, Macron." Macron hastily introduced him. "I wanted him to study at home, but he's not cut out for it. I can only bring him out to give him some practice."

He glared at the young man and said, "Why don't you pay your respects to me, young master?"

The young man quickly kowtowed to Zhao Hao, making the mahogany floor bang loudly.

"Wow." Zhao Hao couldn't help but gasp, thinking to himself, Macron, Ma Yinglong, and Macaron, what kind of combination is this?

Zhihu Zhihu, who can make a sentence using the names of these three brothers?

~~

After the greetings, Macron quickly reported to Master Zhao that Magistrate Cai and Eunuch Li were not on the North Island.

Because there were too many corporate secrets on the North Island, Hua Bozheng and Jin Ke discussed and settled them far away on the South Island.

At this moment, the two of them were at the Guanyin Temple in Qiliwu, South Island, accompanying those troublesome guests.

"Oh, I see." Zhao Hao was very satisfied with his men's vigilance. He praised Macron a few more words and asked him to arrange a boat and take him to the South Island to meet the guests.

After all the trouble, it was already the middle of the night when he arrived at the Guanyin Temple in Qiliwu, South Island.

Looking at the twinkling lights on the river bank and the bright moon and clear frost falling on the thousand-year-old temple, Mr. Zhao suddenly remembered the poem:

The moon sets, crows cry, and the sky is full of frost. The maples on the river bank and the fishing fires are right in front of me, making me sleepy.

The bell of Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City can be heard by the passenger ship at midnight.

It's quite fitting...
