Chapter 21 Heading to Ming Dynasty
Late at night, in Suzhou, in the prefect's Yamen, the prefect Chen Feng was holding an imperial edict in his hand with a sad face.
"Master, are you still sleeping? You've been watching here all day." Chen Feng's wife came to him and rolled her eyes at him.
When Chen Feng heard this, he rolled his eyes at his wife and said.
"What do you know about a woman? Can I not worry about it? The imperial envoy has been here for a few days, but he couldn't find him. So he left the job to me and went back by himself. What do you want me to do?" Chen Feng said.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen thought for a moment and said.
"Isn't he just a charlatan? There are many charlatans in our family, so why should I be anxious?"
"Shh..." Chen Feng heard this and covered his wife's mouth.
"What do you know? That is not an ordinary Jianghu person. He is someone who even the emperor has to be polite to. You know there is such a person in the Song Dynasty, who can be compared to thousands of troops." Chen Feng said.
"Ah, what should we do? Why don't you make a notice." Mrs. Chen said.
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. He's not a wanted criminal. It's disrespectful to post a notice." Chen Feng said.
Just when the couple was worried, they suddenly heard some movement outside the yard. Chen Feng was startled and asked quickly.
"Who's out there?"
"There are people coming from Jade Emperor Pavilion. The magistrate please come out and see me." A man's voice came.
Magistrate Chen was suddenly startled, he didn't care about anything, and he pushed the door open without any suspicion.
I saw two people standing in the yard, one was tall and strong, the other had a delicate face and two beards on his mouth.
"Master Magistrate, you are well." The tall man said, cupping his hands towards Chen Feng.
"Who are you?" Chen Feng was a little confused, but when he got closer, his face suddenly became overjoyed.
"Gang Leader Qiao, it's really you." Chen Feng said.
The visitors were none other than Qiao Feng and Lu Xiaofeng.
"Master Prefect, I still remember Qiao, but now I have joined the Jade Emperor Pavilion and am no longer the leader of the Beggar Clan." Qiao Feng said.
"Ah, yes, I am confused." Chen Feng said quickly. As a magistrate, with so many Beggar Clan disciples under his control, it was natural that he had met Qiao Feng before.
"I heard that the Yamen has been looking for the Jade Emperor Pavilion these days, and the emperor specially sent us here." Lu Xiaofeng said.
"Oh, you have finally appeared." Chen Feng said, taking out the imperial edict from his arms.
"This is the canonization of the emperor by His Majesty from the Tokyo Imperial Court." Chen Feng said respectfully.
"Oh?" Qiao Feng and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other. They didn't expect that it was actually a canonization of the emperor.
Lu Xiaofeng stepped forward to receive the imperial edict and opened it to read in person.
"By God's blessing, the Emperor Zhao said: The Emperor of Yuhuang Pavilion was specially granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an of the Song Dynasty. He refused to worship the emperor when he saw him, and turned the waters of Taihu Lake into the emperor's territory. He can enjoy all the tax revenue of the waters within the territory, and enjoy half of the tax revenue of Suzhou. All the taxes in Suzhou Officials are at your disposal.”
"Tsk, tsk, the emperor is so generous, magistrate, I received this imperial edict for the emperor." Lu Xiaofeng said after reading it.
When Chen Feng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and the big stone in his heart suddenly fell.
Before he could say anything else, Qiao Feng and the others took the imperial edict and flew away.
Soon, the news that Su Yu was canonized by the imperial court spread, and everyone knew that the waters of Taihu Lake in Suzhou were now controlled by the Yuhuang Pavilion. But when I thought about the other party's strength, I suddenly understood that he was a Grand Master, and no matter how he was sealed, it would be a good deal.
"Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty is willing to give it up. The annual tax revenue from Suzhou and Taihu Lake is probably tens of millions of taels." Returning to the Yuhuang Pavilion, Lu Xiaofeng said after handing the imperial edict to Su Yu.
Su Yu smiled and said nothing. Speaking of which, the prefect once stole two million taels of silver from him.
"The emperor's strength is enough to make him a king, but Zhao Zhen is still too stingy." Hua Manlou said.
"Okay, I don't care what the title is. By the way, Xiaofeng, have you done what I asked you to do?" Su Yu said.
"Emperor, hurry up, the carriage should be ready in two days." Lu Xiaofeng said quickly.
It turns out that Su Yu asked Lu Xiaofeng to customize a carriage of his own design.
"Yes. Once the carriage is ready, we can travel." Su Yu said.
"Emperor, where should we go?" Qiao Feng asked.
Su Yu looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said.
"Let's go to Daming first."
"Haha, that's great." Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen and Huamanlou were immediately overjoyed.
After a few people retreated, Su Yu turned over his hand, and a beautiful card appeared. This was drawn by synthesizing the intermediate lottery card not long ago. There is neither a character nor a skill on the card, but an exquisite ring.
"Storage ring? I didn't expect that I could even pull out such a thing." Su Yu looked at the card and shook her head.
Then he crushed the card, and suddenly the light flashed, and then a simple and exquisite ring floated in front of Su Yu.
Su Yu reached out and took out the ring and put it directly on her hand.
"The space is not small, it's about the same size as a large truck compartment." Su Yu said after sensing the ring's information. There are fifty cubic meters of storage space inside.
"Take it." Su Yu waved her hand on the table next to her. The tea set on it disappeared immediately, and then Su Yu felt it appear in the storage ring.
"Good stuff." Su Yu couldn't help but smile.
Three days later, the Taihu Pier was blocked by the Yamen people early in the morning. The prefect and his people were waiting aside. Behind him was a huge carriage. The carriage was several times larger than an ordinary carriage. The front was composed of Drawn by four horses.
After a while, a ship was seen heading towards the shore at an alarming speed.
"Sir, they are here." Someone beside Chen Feng said hurriedly.
After the boat docked, several people walked out from it. They were Su Yu, Qiao Feng, Jiang Yuyan, A Qing, and Lu Xiaofeng.
"Chen Feng, the prefect of Suzhou, pays homage to the emperor." Chen Feng knelt down and said.
"Pay homage to the emperor." Everyone knelt down. Even the people who were watching the excitement on the side did the same.
"No need to be polite." Su Yu finished speaking, raised his hand, and everyone present was immediately helped up by a very gentle force. Everyone was horrified and more in awe of Su Yu.
"Emperor, the carriage is ready, and I have specially prepared some money and a few horses." Chen Feng pointed to the four horses next to the carriage and said.
"Well, my lord is thoughtful." Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.
"This is what I should do." Chen Feng said hurriedly.
"Well, be a good prefect, remember not to oppress the people, and you will have your own benefits in the future." Su Yu said. He knew Chen Feng well. Although he was a little greedy, he was also an official who did practical things. The two million taels of silver he had stolen before were not the money he had used to bully the people, but the quarterly commercial tax collected by Suzhou City. In fact, he had cheated him a little.
Chen Feng was delighted when he heard this. In the future, as long as Su Yu said a few good words in front of the emperor, he would surely rise to prominence.
"Yes, I will do my duty conscientiously." Chen Feng said.
"Get in the carriage." Su Yu nodded, and then said to Jiang Yuyan and Ah Qing.
Then the three of them got on the carriage.
Qiao Feng, Hua Manlou, and Ximen rode horses, and Lu Xiaofeng was naturally the one who drove the carriage.
"Sir Chen, I'm leaving. Goodbye." Su Yu said.
"See you off, Lord Emperor." Chen Feng and others said hurriedly.
Looking at the carriage going away, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had left a good impression on the emperor today.
"The Emperor seems to be easy to get along with, not like what the storyteller said."
"That's right, the Emperor has the hearts of the common people in his heart, and those water bandits were eliminated by him."
"Hehe, I didn't expect that I could also see such a fairy."
The common people were also very excited. Su Yu's existence actually protected the safety of Suzhou City invisibly. Now no one dared to make trouble in Suzhou and Taihu Lake.
"Brother Emperor, it's so big and beautiful in here." Ah Qing said while lying in the carriage, touching the thick blanket underneath.
"Beautiful, you also brought Xiaobai up." Jiang Yuyan frowned. She was a little speechless, and Ah Qing's little white sheep was also carried into the carriage.
"Oh, Xiaobai is so clean." Ah Qing said hurriedly.
"Hehe, I was greedy that day, so I killed it and ate it." Lu Xiaofeng, the driver in front, suddenly said.
"Oh." As soon as the voice fell, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly found that his ear was grabbed. It turned out that Ah Qing's little hand grabbed his ear.
"Let go, let go, it hurts, little aunt, I'm wrong."
"Hahaha." Watching the two people playing around. Su Yu also laughed.
"Alas, it's a pity that Sister Ah Zhu can't go this time." Jiang Yuyan sighed.
"Ah Zhu's injury has just healed. This trip to Daming is getting colder. She is weak and weak, so she will stay in Yuhuang Pavilion to accompany Uncle Qiao and others. There will be opportunities in the future." Su Yu said.
The carriage was driving on the official road, and pedestrians and merchants around it avoided it. It was the first time for everyone to see such a luxurious and huge carriage. The people riding tall horses next to it were not ordinary people. It can be seen that the people inside were either rich or noble.
The further north they went, the colder the weather, but they were all people with deep cultivation, so they didn't care. When the first snowflake fell from the sky, Su Yu was still a little excited.
"Winter is here." Su Yu said, looking out the window.
"Emperor, the Ming Dynasty is ahead." Lu Xiaofeng said.
After walking for more than ten days, they finally arrived in Daming. In fact, Su Yu would be faster if he flew, but he enjoyed the comfortable feeling in the carriage more.
"The snow is so light, I want to make a snowman." Ah Qing said.
"Haha, don't worry, the snow will pile up soon, and you can play then." Lu Xiaofeng said.
It was easy to enter Daming. The relationship between the two countries was good. Su Yu did not show up. After Hua Manlou took out the Hua family token, he was easily released.
Just as several people entered Daming, a pigeon was released from the border and flew towards Yanjing City.
"Wolong Villa is really worthy of its reputation." Su Yu said.
"Huh? Brother Emperor, what are you talking about?" Ah Qing asked.
"Our whereabouts have been discovered. It is estimated that Zhu Wusi will soon know that I came to Daming." Su Yu said.
"Spies? These people are really capable." Lu Xiaofeng reacted and looked around and said.
