Early in the morning, Li Yan sent men to dispatch a boat to send Governor Lin Yuanfu back to Guangzhou. Fulin had already sent people to wait at the port early on. Following the business with the Tianbo Division, Zhang Dong was sent away, and this time, the boat was only for Governor Lin.
"Governor Lin, you have suffered some inconveniences on Lantau Island these days," said Li Yan.
Lin Yuanfu was still in the same black changshan, his beard fluttered in the sea breeze.
"No inconveniences, the craftsmanship of your brother surnamed Cha is quite good."
Li Yan glanced at the old man, "Today, I shall see you off."
Lin Yuanfu's eyebrows twitched twice; he placed his hands in his sleeves and did not speak.
Li Yan said solemnly, "I promised the authorities to deliver you to the port of Guangzhou. The ransom has already been brought, three hundred thousand taels. The most expensive ransom in the history of the South Seas for a century."
