Wuchang is the center of Huguang Province, with a major road between the east, west, south and north, rich and large population. It is one of the world's great cities. In the spring of the 23rd year of Hongwu, Lan Yu led a large army to pacify Shinan and Zhongjian rebel against the barbarians (now Shien, Hubei). Wuchang is the logistics base of the army. In early March, the army left Wuchang west and Wuchang returned to peace, but undercurrents were undercurrents. A letter about Lan Yu and the prince Zhu Biao colluded with each other triggered a fight among major forces. In March, Wuchang City was surging, and it is unknown who would win.

At noon that day, Li Wei, who had just arrived in Wuchang, was taking Yang Ning to look for an empty room near the Yellow Crane Tower.

"Do you know? I like the poem the most, 'The Yellow Crane Tower is empty here, and the white clouds are lingering for thousands of years,' has revealed the vicissitudes of the world, so I have always had a wish to live next to the Yellow Crane Tower and watch it every day."

Li Wei was barely able to walk by himself, and he was ridiculous with a single turn. He pointed to the nearby house and smiled: "The terrain here is open, just a panoramic view."

Yang Ning frowned and hesitated for a long time. He finally couldn't help asking: "Fifth brother, why don't we stay in the inn but come to rent a house?"

"If you want to register your name in the inn, it is easy to be discovered by those who are interested. It is better to rent a house in a hidden way. In fact, the most secret way is to be a beggar and ensure that no one is involved." Speaking of this, Li Wei couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the coachman who led them to see the house walked out of the yard and smiled at them, "Two young masters, this house is the best in your requirements. It is spacious and can be seen by the Yellow Crane Tower when you push the window. This is my relative's house. It's a month's money, so it can't be cheaper."

Li Wei was entering the house and glanced. There was a well in the yard. There was an old locust tree beside the well. New buds had sprouted. The house looked just renovated and was very clean and tidy. He nodded with satisfaction, "Then you decide, go and call the landlord and I'll pay him."

The coachman hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Young Master, I'm going to hide it from you, I'm the landlord."

"You guy, are you afraid that I will reduce the price?" Li Weizheng shook his head with a smile, took out twenty coins of money and handed it to him and said, "Lease the other money for three months first. The other money is the carriage I hired for you. You live here too. We can go out at any time."

The coachman was overjoyed. He could only earn three or five jin of money in a month. Now he made a small fortune. He took the money and said hurriedly: "I'll go back and get some things first, then take my wife, boil water and cook for the two masters. My house is not far from here, so I'll come soon."

The coachman rushed to the carriage, but Yang Ning smiled and said, "Why is the fifth brother so careless? He let him leave without any evidence. What if he lie to you or cheat you?"

Li Weizheng shrugged and smiled indifferently: "Anyway, this money is not mine. It comes easily, so he will admit it even if he wants to lie. We are here to do big things and we don't have to worry about these trivial matters."

Speaking of major events, Yang Ning's face began to become serious. He pondered for a moment and asked, "We have arrived in Wuchang. I wonder where Brother Wu is going to start?"

Li Wei was walking to the well platform and sat down and smiled, "Actually, I think it is undoubtedly like finding a person who may or may not exist in a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands. It is difficult for us, but also Yu Ping, Qin Wang or Lan Yu and others to do it. The best way is to use the power of local snakes, like the government yamen runners. I know the most. Although they have a low status, it is the most suitable to ask them to find people."

"What the fifth brother means is to ask us to find the magistrate of Wuchang?" Yang Ning shook his head, "I guess Lan Yu, Yu Ping and the others have already found it. There is no need for us to join in the fun again."

Li Weizheng smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't ask about this, I'll go out later, you can have a good rest!"

"Does Fifth Brother don't want my guard?"

"No, it's just a private matter."

‘Private affairs?’ Yang Ning was confused. What private affairs would Brother Wu have in Wuchang?

Like Wuhan today, Hanyang Prefecture is across the river from Wuchang Prefecture. Hanyang City is located at the intersection of the two rivers. Although it is not as prosperous as Wuchang and has a large population, it also has rich land and rich products. From Wuchang to Hanyang, there was no cross-river bridge in the Ming Dynasty, and it was all ferrying by large ships. In the afternoon, Li Wei was coming to the ferry of the river.

He did have a private matter. Li Weizheng got into a marriage since he was a child. He was the youngest granddaughter of Ye Yuanwai's neighboring village. Ye Yuanwai's eldest son passed the Jinshi ten years ago and went out to become an official. After Ye Yuanwai passed away three years ago, the eldest son of the Ye family took his wife and children to the government office. From then on, the old Li Weizheng and his fiancée Lao Yan separated, and his reputation was insignificant. Old Li Weizheng had disappeared. The new Li Weizheng inherited his skin, inherited his identity, and naturally inherited this marriage. His future father-in-law was the prefect of Hanyang Prefecture.

You may still remember that Li Wei was talking to her father that night when she discovered that the mute sister would talk, which was about breaking the engagement. The divorce was a big deal in the Li family. The ex-Lee Weizheng had a quarrel with Yang Ying because of the divorce, and he jumped into the well in anger. The new Li Weizheng also inherited the will of his ex and must carry out the divorce to the end.

Only Yang Ying in the Li family firmly opposed the break-up. She believed that the Ye family was an official family, and being able to climb this family would be beneficial to the development of the Li family. As for Li Yuanwai, although he was a wife and a husband, the standard of his daughter-in-law was the type with big butts and big breasts, which could give him more grandchildren. The Ye family's young lady was thin and did not meet his conditions. He was displeased, but his attitude was not important. His attitude had always been shaky. His son was strong and followed his son, and his wife was forced to follow his wife. However, this time Yang Ying agreed to break-up for the first time and personally prepared a break-up letter for Li Weizheng. The break-up letter was in Li Weizheng's hand, a thick envelope was sealed tightly. Li Weizheng had never opened it and read it. It was probably the birthday date and horoscope of the second lady of the Ye family.

He always carried the letter of divorce with him. This time he came to Wuchang to do business, Li Weizheng decided to give up the marriage by the way. Maybe Uncle Ye felt guilty and would help find someone.

"Mr. Li, there is a ferry in front of me. My carriage cannot take a boat. Why don't I help you cross the river and find a carriage for you?" The coachman felt very guilty when he saw Li Wei still had a crutch.

"You go back! I'm not in the way. By the way, if I can't come back today, I'll tell Mr. Yang to do as I told him in the morning."

The coachman went there with great apology. Li Wei was slowly walking to the ferry. There were only two boats, one small and one large, on the ferry. The small boat was well-crafted, with carved beams and painted buildings. There were two big men standing on the bow, which were obviously private boats. The large ferry was a public boat, with a large size and could carry at least two or three hundred people at a time. Passengers at the ferry were on board, and most of them were carrying large and small bags of items. Many Hanyang people came to Wuchang to shop specially across the river.

Li Wei paid twenty cents to get on the boat, walked past the deck full of people, and then walked past the noisy cabin, and came to the back area. It was obviously much quieter here, mostly in two-person cabins and three-person cabins, with the top of the head being a single cabin.

"This young man, I have to take the cabin." A crew member came up to greet him enthusiastically.

Li Wei was handing him two cents of money, "I want a single room to enter the cabin."

As long as the single cabin is always the money, the other money is naturally the tip of the crew. "Yes! Yes!" The crew member happily stepped forward to carry his things for him, and smiled and said, "Young Master is very lucky. We have only three of these cabins, two of which are already full. Now there is only one room left, which is just enough for you to catch up with."

"Young Master, please come in!" The crew member pushed a cabin open, and it was indeed a single room, very clean and tidy, with a bed and a chair, and a small coffee table with several plates of fruits and snacks.

"Please rest, please, someone will send you tea soon."

‘Get off!’ The shout came from afar, the hull shook for a moment, and slowly drove away from the dock.

Li Wei was walking to the window and staring at the wide open river. A layer of mist filled the river, making him suddenly clear. The pressure of finding letters in the past few days has gradually relaxed.

Half a year has been in the Ming Dynasty. By chance, he joined the prince's tent and was fortunate to become a householder of the Jinyiwei that everyone envied. Is this his ideal? Li Weizheng sighed slightly. He didn't know what his ideal should be. He once imagined himself becoming a senior official of the court and becoming the backbone of the Ming Dynasty. But when he really got close to this door, he realized how simple and naive he thought. What did he have? He had no strategy to maintain peace and talent, and only knew the direction of history. But what could he do? Even if he found Zhu Yuanzhang and shouted loudly, his son would seize the position of your grandson, would he believe it? Will he wake up from enlightenment and abolish the vassal state?

No, no one will believe his prophet, Zhu Yuanzhang will not believe, princes and ministers will not believe, and even ordinary people on this ship will not believe that history is the game of the power. If he wants to participate in this game, the first thing he wants is to get power, but where is his power?

Just as Li Wei was staring at Dajiang and thinking a lot, a young woman suddenly heard behind him, "Young master, my lady wants to discuss something with you."

Li Wei was turning around and saw a girl in green clothes standing at the cabin door. Seeing that she was dressed as a maid, Li Wei was smiling gently, "Is there anything wrong?"

"That's right. My lady just got on the boat, but the single room was full. Can you...?"

"Can I let me change it, right?" Li Weizheng gave her an idea: "Actually, you have a lot of people, isn't it the same to book a double room?"

"But that kind of room is too dirty and smells bad. My lady is really... This big brother is OK!" The maid begged and kept bowing to him.

In fact, it will take only half an hour to cross the river at most. Li Wei just wanted to think about something quietly, and it doesn't matter which cabin to sit in. Seeing the little maid's attitude, he smiled and prepared to pick up things. At this moment, a man with a fierce appearance came forward and shouted, "Speak nonsense to him, just kick it out."

Li Wei was about to touch the luggage hand but took it back. He stood up and said coldly: "Sorry! I don't want to change my cabin."
