Tonight, Jinling City, which should have been prosperous and lively, has become a place where everyone is in danger.
The King of Wu mobilized the guards, blocked the city, and searched for Japanese from house to house. All Japanese found were arrested and imprisoned, and those who harbored Japanese were punished with the same crime.
The King of Wu's Mansion.
The King of Wu sat in the lobby with a gloomy face, and the Crown Prince and other royal relatives stayed in the hall without daring to breathe.
Bang, the King of Wu directly overturned the teapot on the table.
Everyone present was shocked.
"Uncle, calm down." The Crown Prince said to comfort him.
The King of Wu raised his hand and interrupted the Crown Prince's words and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to say more. This matter will be thoroughly investigated and explained to Your Highness."
The King of Wu's words seemed to be righteous, but in fact he had already taken control of the initiative. No matter what the purpose of this group of Japanese pirates was, this matter was handed over to the King of Wu's Mansion for investigation, and the result of the investigation could only be what the King of Wu wanted.
The Crown Prince said calmly, "Then I'll have to trouble my uncle," and then he changed the subject and said, "The Jinyiwei accompanying me on this trip to the south are many detective experts. I will assign them to my uncle to assist him in catching the murderer."
The King of Wu had a gloomy face, and seemed to be still angry about the assassination attempt, but in fact he sneered in his heart: "The little kid wants to plant spies around me."
The King of Wu pondered for a moment and said, "I think the safety of the Crown Prince is more important. The Jinyiwei is responsible for the Crown Prince's It's safe, I'll send more people to the prince. "
The prince was depressed, he failed to plant the spy, but was monitored. How could this be possible? He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, uncle. My safety is in your hands. Jinyiwei's people are full-time investigators and secret visits. They are also very efficient. It's my little thought to help you. Please don't refuse."
The king of Wu nodded slightly, which was considered to be an approval of such a conditional exchange, and it was also a kind of confidence in his control.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a pair of uncles and nephews who care and understand each other.
...
Soon, a housekeeper hurried over to report:
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, 3 of the 8 Japanese have been killed on the spot, and the remaining 5 have all been captured. All members of the troupe have also been detained."
"Very good, where is the young man who rescued Jialing today?" King Wu asked.
The housekeeper replied: "Mr. Huo and the other three heroes are resting together."
"Oh? There are three more heroes?" King Wu asked curiously.
So the housekeeper reported the process of chasing the three Japanese pirates to King Wu.
After hearing that Ma Daha and his three men chased the Japanese pirates with a boat, not only sank the pirates' boats but also beat the fallen dogs, King Wu couldn't help but praise: "Your courage is commendable, your courage is commendable."
So he ordered people to bring the four people to the main hall for commendation.
...
At this time, Ma Daha and his three men were staring at Huo Chenan.
Ma Daha couldn't believe his eyes. Huo Chenan was actually in the palace. Who did they fight tonight? Ma Daha was sure that he would never recognize the wrong person, because Huo Chenan's handsome face made him feel a pain in his balls.
Even so, Ma Daha and his three men didn't dare to act rashly in King Wu's palace.
And Huo Chenan couldn't remember what these three people did at all.
Soon the four were brought to the lobby of the Prince Wu's mansion.
Huo Chenan stepped into the magnificent hall and saw two people sitting at the top. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a Yishan crown, a dragon robe, and a jade belt. On his right was a young man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. He had handsome eyebrows, but there was a hint of femininity between his eyebrows.
The rest of the royal nobles were on both sides, and Princess Jialing was also in the middle.
The four saluted the prince at the top first and said, "Hello, Prince Wu."
The Prince Wu said, "No need to be polite."
The housekeeper guided the four and continued, "Why don't you meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Crown Prince?" The three Ma Daha were so scared that they collapsed to the ground.
Only Huo Chenan saluted the prince without being servile or overbearing and said, "I am a humble man, I have seen His Royal Highness."
The three Ma Daha people kowtowed and said, "I am a humble man, I have seen His Royal Highness."
"No need to be polite."
King Wu continued, "Three heroes, assist the government in arresting the Japanese pirates, and you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. The whole city will be notified as a reward."
The three Ma Daha people listened to King Wu's words with trepidation and only then did they roughly understand the whole story. It seemed that they had made a great contribution tonight by accident. The three did not dare to neglect and hurriedly thanked him.
King Wu then said to Huo Chenan, "Brother Huo, you have made great contributions to saving the emperor. You will be granted the title of Jiangning County Man and a thousand acres of good land. The whole city will be notified as a reward."
These rewards were the result of discussions between King Wu and the prince, and they were generous.
But Huo Chenan seemed to be hesitant and did not thank him.
The prince asked, "Mr. Huo, are you dissatisfied?" Huo Chenan hurriedly replied, "I dare not, but I am used to being idle and have no desire for fame and fortune. I think it's okay to announce it to the whole city." The prince and King Wu were both stunned. They didn't expect that there were young people in the world who didn't like fame. The prince looked at him admiringly and thought, "This Huo Chenan is really as indifferent to fame and fortune as the teacher said." In fact, Huo Chenan just didn't want to be remembered by others. After all, people are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of being fat. It is the hard truth to make a fortune quietly. Theoretically, with the title of county man, Huo Chenan has escaped from slavery. He worked hard for a month and finally moved up the date of freedom by two months. Huo Chenan immediately felt like a prisoner getting a reduced sentence. However, he still has a strong sense of contract. Since he promised Su Linglong to take care of the farm for two months, he will naturally keep his promise. Just kidding, if I leave at this time, how can I pick up girls? Ah, how can I help the second lady treat her illness!
So he finally asked the Crown Prince and King Wu for help to not ask the government to ask for the contract of selling the body from the Su family. The procedure was just a formality and could be done at any time.
And his fiefdom was also assigned to Qixia Mountain. Anyway, it was the same whether he released one sheep or a group of sheep.
There is no perfect thing in the world. Some are happy and some are sad.
Ma Daha's mood today was like a roller coaster. He was happy to get revenge, then he was uneasy because he didn't know the truth, and then he was happy about the windfall. Now he is looking at Huo Chenan who was awarded the title of county man. He knows that he is sad and may not be able to get revenge in this life.
But he also received a reward of one thousand taels, which is a spiritual compensation.
The four walked out of the King Wu's Mansion one after another.
Ma Daha looked at Huo Chenan and said, "The hatred between the two of us will be written off from today."
After that, he left with his two younger brothers.
Huo Chenan looked at the three people who left with a confused look on his face: "What grudge do I have against him?"
He couldn't remember, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Huo Chenan came to the dock in the backyard, and the scene in front of him broke his defense.
"Fuck! Where's my boat?"
