Gao Shixin and his group embarked on a journey back to the capital. This time they went south to the Huaihe River, eradicating the Li family forces on the canal, and also shocked the mountains and scared the salt merchants and corrupt officials.

The Jinyiwei official ship returned to Beijing and brought the stolen money worth more than 1.2 million taels of silver from the canal transportation yamen, and escorted the criminals Li Jiaxing and Li Jiaguo brothers, as well as a group of military officers who committed the crime. Of course, in addition to a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, Gao Shixin also brought another piece of trophy back to Beijing, which was Yang Wan, the bait given to Gao Shixin by Long Yuqi. This fragrant bait was accepted by Gao Shixin, but he would eat it in one bite.

If you have a beauty plan, I will use a plan.

The tumor on the Grand Canal was cleaned up, but it also left some sequelae: the Li family was eradicated, and some remaining Li family members might take the opportunity to incite ship workers to strike, while some guys from the Donglin Party who had close contact with the Li family might find excuses to cut off the canal transportation. In order to solve these problems, after Gao Shixin decided to return to Beijing, he persuaded the little carpenters to vigorously develop shipping.

However, at present, the imperial court does not have so many sea boats. To make Yan Siqi's fleet serve him, it also needs to recruit pirates. These things take time to do.

In order to avoid the serious consequences of the cut off of the canal transport, Gao Shixin vigorously expanded the recruitment of the Jinyiwei in the Lianghuai area, and the Jinyiwei replaced the original canal transport security.

"The expansion of the factory guards will harm the people!"

"The eunuch actually used the Jinyiwei to control the canal transportation and impose heavy taxes. If this continues, the people will live in poverty!"

"The factory guards are becoming more and more arrogant! We must start a businessman to strike and a shipman to strike!"

The news of the expansion of factory guards reached Jiangnan. Donglin Qunxian was full of righteous indignation and vowed to fight against the evil factory guards to the end.

The ship arrived in Xuzhou and the fleet was mooring in Xuzhou for a night before preparing to cross the Yellow River.

Gao Shixin's newly acquired concubine Yang Wan sat in the hall on the second floor of the big ship. Yang Wan gently stroked the guzheng, and the melodious music sounded. Gao Shixin held a wine glass in his hand and leaned against a soft cushion, with a cool mat on it. While drinking with Xu Xianchun, Zhang Yong and others, he admired Yang Wan's playing.

At this moment, the voice of the Jinyiwei came from outside: "Girl, this is the Jinyiwei's ship, you can't get on it casually!"

"You open your eyes and see what this is!" The girl showed her waist card without being outdone.

"Embroidered Uniform Guard's waist card? Girl, how could you have the Embroidered Uniform Guard's waist card?" The Embroidered Uniform Guard, who was standing on the dock, said in surprise.

The girl was the saint Ling'er of the White Lotus Sect: "You will know with this waist card and ask your boss!"

While talking, Gao Shixin poked his head out from the second floor and saw Ling'er in white clothes. He quickly shouted: "Let this girl get on the boat, she is my friend!"

"Get orders!" Two Jinyiwei saluted Ling'er and put her on the boat.

Ling'er walked up the second floor, and Yang Wan turned her head and saw this pure and beautiful woman, like a fairy who was not as good as a worldly fairy. Yang Wan thought to herself: Why is this woman so annoying?

At the same time, Ling'er also saw Yang Wan's appearance, and she also thought to herself: Why is this vixen so annoying? Humph! Fox Meizi!

The two women looked at each other, not willing to be outdone, and neither of them was willing to look away. The eyes of the two of them looked at each other showed deep jealousy and jealousy. If the eyes could kill people, the two women might have fallen down at the same time.

When Gao Shixin saw Ling'er and Yang Wan standing together, he took the opportunity to compare the two girls: they are both beautiful, no matter how far they are, but each has its own merits. Ling'er is the kind of pure and beautiful beauty, her eyes are particularly clear, which makes people feel that this girl never has bad intentions at first glance; while Yang Wan is shy and charming, her eyes are shining, and her appearance will never lose to Ling'er.

But since Ling'er came to find her, Gao Shixin waved to her: "Miss Ling'er, what's the matter with you coming to find me?"

"Of course I came to you because I had something important!" Ling'er sneered, "Governor Gao, please let this fox beauty avoid it first so that I can tell you the matter."

Xu Xianchun and Zhang Yong stood up tactfully when they saw the woman being extremely beautiful. Xu Xianchun said: "Governor Gao, if there is a girl coming to find you, the official should avoid it first."

Yang Wan refused to give in. She sneered: "Why should grandma go out, this little girl?"

Ling'er lit up the waist card in her hand: "I am also an Jinyiwei. I have important national affairs, so please avoid it!"

"Miss Yang, please step back first. Miss Ling'er is indeed the female Jinyiwei I accepted. She came to me to tell me something important, so you should avoid it for the time being." Gao Shixin said.

Although Yang Wan was dissatisfied, women in this era only wanted to marry a chicken and follow a dog and follow a dog. This is true for the wife, let alone a concubine. The wife and concubine must obey the male owner unconditionally. So she had to retreat in a daze.

Ling'er sat beside Gao Shixin carelessly and reached out to grab a piece of white chopping chicken on the table.

"Go and wash your hands! Let's get something to eat after washing your hands!" Gao Shixin knocked Ling'er's hand off, "If you don't wash your hands and eat, be careful to have diarrhea."

"Tsk! Just you are the ones! I have been like this since I was a child." Although Ling'er said this on her mouth, she still stood up and washed her hands in the basin on the side.

"Tell me, what's the matter if you come here to find me?" asked Gao Shixin.

Ling'er smiled slightly: "Can't you come to find you if you're fine? Why? You still want to drive me away? If you don't welcome me, then I'll leave now."

"How could you drive you away? Sit down quickly." Gao Shixin stood up and made a gesture of invitation.

"This is almost the same!" Ling'er sat down without hesitation, picked up the chopsticks on the table and picked up the dishes on the table.

After Ling'er had eaten her mouthfuls, she said, "Governor Gao, I have been following you for several days. You are really a good person who does things for the people. For this reason, I will help you."

"What can you help me?" asked Gao Shixin.

"Hahaha!" Ling'er laughed, "Don't you want to recruit Yan Siqi? I will give you a big gift. I went to see Yan Siqi a while ago. I showed him the Jinyiwei waist card and he agreed to accept the recruitment! I asked him to take the fleet to Tianjin, and he agreed. Governor Gao, you should make an appointment with him. I will work harder to help you find him. But remember one thing, I am not helping you, but the people in the north! If those unscrupulous merchants really cut off the canal transportation, the people in the north will go hungry. I can't bear to see the people hungry."

"Time, then it's the fifth day of the first lunar month two months later. After I return to Beijing, I will report this to Your Majesty first."

"Okay, then I'll leave first!" Ling'er stood up, smiled and ran downstairs.

"Miss Ling'er!" Gao Shixin quickly stood up and was about to chase him out, but Ling'er was very fast and left the official ship in a blink of an eye. When Gao Shixin rushed downstairs, she saw that she had run away without a trace.

Xu Xianchun and Zhang Yong left, and they smiled and walked up.

"What's wrong? Didn't you take down this girl?" Xu Xianchun asked with a smirk on his face.

"Oh, this girl is as pure as water, and I really can't bear to start." Gao Shixin sighed.

"Pret! Just pretend!" Zhang Yong laughed, "You can't handle this girl, right?"

"That's right, this girl is a pure and kind woman from a good family. You gave her all the Jinyiwei waist cards, but you haven't done it yet." Xu Xianchun said with a smile.

The next morning, the fleet continued to sail north and arrived in Jining. The fleet was mooring at Jining Wharf, preparing to moor for one night, and set off again the next morning.

"Official, I'll go out for a walk." Yang Wan said.

"Go, I'll call some good men to protect you." said Gao Shixin.
