Necessary mission
The sky in Ganzhou City was getting brighter, and the gate on the back wall of Liufeng Pavilion opened, and the young man from that day came out again.
Following closely behind him was a man who was about forty years old. He was tall and strong with a dignified look on his face.
At this time, a carriage was parked outside the house.
The young man walked quickly to the car and pushed open the door, and the middle-aged man strode in.
The carriage sped towards the street corner, but no one noticed that a man in black wearing a silver mask was following behind the carriage.
The horse galloped along the narrow road, raising a cloud of dust.
It’s just so early, I don’t know where to go.
After about an incense stick of time, the carriage stopped in front of a temple in the suburbs.
Because it was too early, no one else was seen. There was only an elderly monk standing at the temple gate.
The car door opened, and the middle-aged man got out first. The monk hurried forward to greet him.
Seeing them enter the temple, the man in black flew up the wall and entered quietly.
"This is freshly picked tea. Please try it, Mr. Caotai."
At this time, a young monk brought in a pot of tea, and the older monk helped him pour a cup.
The middle-aged man took the tea and brought it to his lips. He took a sip and said with a smile,
"good."
The older monk smiled with satisfaction.
"The previous batch of goods has been burned. I have ordered the preparation of the new goods. They will be shipped to Yu'an another day under the name of agricultural products for the temple."
Caotai explained the purpose of his visit.
Afterwards, the two stopped talking about other things and only discussed Buddhist scriptures.
After leaving the temple, the man in black took off the mask on his face, revealing Feng Chenyu's handsome face.
Caotai?
Could it be that he is Liu Qizhong, the transport envoy of Pangxi Province?
But to be on the safe side, he returned to the courtyard, painted a portrait of a middle-aged man, and ordered it to be sent to Yu'an urgently.
I just don't know when they plan to ship the goods?
Just as he was thinking, the door of the room opened and Ma Sui came in hurriedly.
"I received news from Mr. Liang that a ship will arrive at the dock on the eighth day of next month to deliver cargo."
The eighth day of next month, isn’t that Buddha’s Birthday?
Feng Chenyu's expression suddenly became serious.
Although Madam Tong tried to conceal her physical condition, she was still discovered by Fuyao.
In order to pray for her mother, she and Qing Ning went to the temple right after breakfast.
After lighting the incense and candles, Fuyao knelt devoutly before the Buddha statue and prayed for her mother's speedy recovery.
Maybe today is a good day, and more and more people are coming to the temple.
Feng Chenyu and Ma Su also came to the temple, but their purpose was different from others.
Feng Chenyu recalled what Liu Qizhong and the monk said, so he came here to find out what was going on.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were so many people around, he and Ma Sui went straight to the place where the two had met that day.
When they reached the door, they looked through the window and saw that there was no one in the house. Feng Chenyu turned around and walked in, while Ma Sui also went to look somewhere else.
The room is simply furnished and everything is clearly visible.
Arhat bed, seating, Buddha statues, books and some daily necessities.
Feng Chenyu walked forward and flipped through the books on the table without giving up, and found that they were just some daily scriptures.
"Why is this gentleman here?"
Suddenly a voice came from behind him. Feng Chenyu turned around and found that it was the little monk who served tea that day.
"Mr. Chen, my young lady is waiting for you outside the house!"
I saw Qing Ning coming to the door.
"Oh, sorry, I was just looking for my friends."
With that, Feng Chenyu walked out awkwardly.
As soon as he got outside the house, Ma Sui also walked over quickly.
"Fuyao."
Feng Chenyu shouted gratefully.
But the latter ignored it and just said to Qing Ning,
"Let's go back."
So the two of them walked side by side on a small road in the suburbs, followed by Feng Chenyu and Ma Sui.
"The young ladies."
Qing Ning raised her finger and pointed behind her.
Fuyao continued to stride forward without looking back, and only replied,
"Don't worry about it."
Seeing that they were about to enter the city, Feng Chenyu became a little anxious.
He quickened his pace and stepped forward to block Fuyao's way.
"Fuyao, thank you so much for what I did just now."
Fuyao paused for a moment.
"Mr. Feng, you are too polite."
After saying that, he continued walking forward.
Just as she took a step, her arm was grabbed by Feng Chenyu on the side.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Fuyao frowned and turned her head with a slight frown.
But Feng Chenyu took out a dagger from his waist with his other hand and handed it to her.
"Why did you return this dagger to me?"
Fuyao glanced at the dagger in front of him and said rudely,
"Can you give me a reason why I must keep it?"
The air suddenly condensed at this moment, and the hand holding Fu Yao's arm slowly loosened, and Feng Chenyu turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Indeed, at this moment he couldn't even find a decent reason.
Looking at his leaving back, Fuyao's eyes began to soften.
He is the second son of the Feng family and the son of General Feng, a great hero in the hearts of the people.
So she thought his character must not be too bad.
Besides, she also heard from her mother that he had other important things to do in addition to purchasing medicines when he came to Ganzhou this time.
Therefore, she no longer blamed him for hiding his true identity from her, and she had only taken action just now to help him.
But that’s all.
They were originally from two different worlds and would never have any intersection in the future.
The most important thing to her right now is A Niang's health.
Then he turned around and walked forward firmly.
On the green grass, the sunlight stretched out the shadows of two people walking in opposite directions.
In the days after they separated, Fuyao devoted herself to copying scriptures for her mother at home, while Feng Chenyu continued to carry out his greatest mission in Ganzhou City.
As the sky brightened, Fuyao had finished dressing up with Qingning's help.
Today is Buddha's Birthday. The family plans to go to the temple to participate in the Buddha's Birthday ceremony first, and then go to the riverside to release animals.
Although it was still early, the temple was already crowded with people.
Although Fuyao did not believe in Buddhism, Madam Tong was a devout Buddhist, so she was somewhat influenced by her.
In the temple, devout believers hold lit incense and candles in their hands and worship the gods and Buddhas devoutly.
As the Dharma Assembly began, everyone listened quietly to the Buddhist teachings.
The riverside was very lively at noon. Some people had already bought some small fish and turtles from the street stalls and were preparing to release them into the river.
At this time, a ship was docked at the pier, and a group of people were carrying boxes from the riverside onto the ship.
Looking around, you can see that every box is engraved with temple logos, Buddha statues, scriptures and other patterns.
Feng Chenyu, dressed in a navy blue robe, came to the riverside. He looked up at the ship full of cargo, raised his feet and walked forward vigorously.
The long sword hanging at his waist sparkled in the sunlight.
"I wonder what this full ship is carrying?"
He asked curiously.
At this time, the cargo had been loaded and a middle-aged man walked towards him.
“These are all agricultural products from the temple.”
Feng Chenyu lowered his head and carefully examined the box not far away.
"I heard there's illegal cargo on this ship!"
He raised his voice.
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly.
"Who are you? How dare you talk nonsense here?"
"snort."
Feng Chenyu snorted coldly.
"Do you think you can just openly transport illegal goods under the name of a temple?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a group of well-trained men in black came out of the cabin.
Ma Sui, who was standing behind Feng Chenyu, immediately became alert.
"Whether there is evidence or not, won't you know once you open the box?"
Feng Chenyu's expression turned slightly cold.
"Do you want to open the box? I don't think you have the right to do so."
The middle-aged man is still as imposing as ever.
"Do I have this right?"
Shao Hansu and Yi Yun walked out from the crowd.
"Mr. Shao is polite."
The middle-aged man's momentum was instantly lost.
"But these are just some temple goods, there's really nothing to check."
"It's not up to you to decide whether or not to check."
Shao Hansu didn't want to say much, and said to Yi Yun,
"Go check it out."
Just as Yi Yun was about to step forward, Xu Renfeng's voice came from behind him.
"Why is Judge Shao here?"
Everyone turned around and saw Xu Renfeng slowly walking towards the ship.
At this time, a large number of people who came to watch the excitement had gathered by the river and were talking about it.
"Someone reported that there were illegal goods here, so I came to check it out."
Shao Hansu was neither humble nor arrogant.
Xu Renfeng snorted coldly, then glanced at Feng Chenyu.
"Who reported it?"
Feng Chenyu took a step forward.
"I reported it. The box contained not agricultural products but gunpowder and bullets."
"Sir, you're joking. Everyone in Ganzhou knows that privately transporting arms is illegal, so it's impossible for it to happen."
Xu Renfeng had a forced smile on his face.
Feng Chenyu raised his head with a sharp gaze.
"Wouldn't it be clear if we just opened the box?"
"Today is Buddha's Birthday. Those who tamper with the temple's things will be punished by heaven, and it may even bring disaster to our Ganzhou."
As soon as Xu Renfeng finished speaking, the people below began to oppose him.
It’s not that they think Xu Zhizhou is a good official, but they are also afraid that this move will bring disaster.
Feng Chenyu turned around and bowed to everyone, then said earnestly,
"My fellow countrymen, my name is Feng Chenyu. A few days ago, there were rumors that someone was secretly trafficking arms and plotting something illegal. Therefore, I have been ordered to come to Ganzhou to thoroughly investigate this matter."
After hearing this, Xu Renfeng laughed out loud.
"You said you came here on orders, do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, yes, there is evidence."
Some people in the crowd started to boo.
Feng Chenyu smiled helplessly, then took out a gold medal from his sleeve. The front was engraved with the two words "Qin Ci" and the back was a dragon pattern symbolizing imperial power.
"Does Magistrate Xu have anything to say?"
Someone in the crowd shouted,
“That’s a gold medal!”
"Anything can be faked these days, let alone a gold medal!"
Xu Renfeng is stubborn and stubborn.
"Today I will see who dares to touch this box."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of ferocious-looking men holding steel knives ran out of the crowd.
Seeing this, the people around were frightened and scattered.
Feng Chenyu and Shao Hansu looked at each other, and it seemed that they were about to fall out.
