Chapter 20: Falling Lightly (Booklist Thanks to the Little Trumpet Playing the Flute)
"Hmph, I didn't think they were fun, so I wanted to go up and have a look. Xianyu snorted.
The young man kneeling on the ground frowned and said, "But Wu'er, you were so naughty this time, you actually stunned all of us, and even angered each other!"
"Big brother, it's obvious that they are bullying us with more people, and you still help them speak!"
"Father, I've told us many times, don't covet other people's wealth, how can you be the same as Xiao Qi. The eldest brother disagreed and even stubbornly said, "This time you did it wrong!"
Xianyu was very angry when he heard this, and he broke free from the chain that bound him and scolded, "Isn't it just a shipbuilding technique, and a blue brick production process?
"Wu'er, we should have loaded the goods and gone to Qin State early, but now it's good, because you were stubborn for a while, seeing that Chengtong didn't sell you green bricks, he used hallucinogenic drugs to stun people, and wanted to steal the green bricks to go back to study, and later fell in love with other people's building boats, and actually used our building ships to hit other people's ships, and wanted to get on the ship to steal the drawings, and they were caught. Now that the matter has been revealed, we should admit our mistakes and even apologize. ”
The young man's voice was low, even deeply disapprove.
"Big brother, but they don't make money if they put it away, otherwise why would I use such extraordinary means. Xianyu pouted and scolded.
"Every merchant has its own unique secret art, and it is no longer right for us to steal other people's secret art. If today, if they come to steal our Xian's business method today, will you still follow it?" the young man continued, "When the meeting comes, you will join me in pleading guilty and confessing your mistakes." ”
Xianyu still doesn't follow.
"Okay, stop struggling, the more you struggle, the more you hurt your hand. ”
Seeing this, the young man kneeling on the ground was slightly distressed, and raised his legs even higher.
"Big brother, then you can help me lift it higher, it hurts!" Xianyu said in pain.
"Okay, but you have to promise that this will not be allowed next time, and I don't know what is going on with our Cheng Clan's merchant ships. Hearing this, the young man gritted his teeth and lifted it up vigorously, while there was a trace of worry in his voice.
"Xianbo will take care of it, don't worry!"
Xianyu said to him with a relaxed bow.
Mi Huang has been standing outside the door, after listening to their words, the hand that wanted to push the door was retracted, and his mind naturally remembered the value of the green bricks that Su Cong said, and these two people not only wanted the production process of the green bricks, but also wanted the construction of the ship.
In the end, what is the difference between Cheng's building ship and ordinary building boat?
Why did these two people take a fancy to this building ship at a glance?
But Cheng Jia's ship was no different except that it had four more sails, and it was built higher and bigger than her father's ship.
After a long time, Huo Dao walked in, and then ordered someone to put Xianyu down, "You two had better be honest, who are you? Why hit the idea of the Cheng clan's blue bricks and building boats, otherwise it would be more than just hanging your kid in the air." ”
"We recruit, we all recruit!"
The young man knelt down and replied, " I am Zheng Guo Xiangao, this is my brother, Xianyu, the two of us transported grain to Chu State, and wanted to take advantage of the water to sell it, but I didn't expect that the flood receded, and the disaster situation in various places improved, and we were going to go home, and we ordered a batch of goods with Cheng in the morning, and found that they had a batch of good green bricks, and wanted to exchange them with food, but their stewardship did not follow, so we took extraordinary measures to steal the green bricks from them, and returned to China to study, not to deliberately stun Mrs. and the right disciple. Later, we hit the Guibao boat with a building boat, also because the Guibao boat is really unprecedented, not only does not need to pull the fiber manually, but also can automatically drive on the river, my brother and I became greedy. ”
Hearing this, Mi Huang outside the door glanced at Su Cong, then beckoned to him, and the two walked into the distance and asked, "What's so special about this Cheng's building ship?"
"I really don't know much about the building ship, since the time I came to the eastern suburbs, the building ship has been built for a long time, and the drawings of the building ship are confidential documents, it is estimated that only a few Yue craftsmen who are responsible for supervising the construction of the older they know. Su Cong replied, in fact, he was also very curious about these four giant ships.
But I didn't see anything too peculiar, "I just heard the four captains chatting between them, it seems that Cheng's building boat does not need a slender man to pull fiber on the shore, and even when the wind is strong enough, even the oarsman is not needed, and it can automatically turn, it is definitely the first dragon boat in the world in Kyushu, no one is invincible, and it seems that there is also a military machinery on board." ”
"It may be that the right disciple used some secret technique when he built this ship, Tainu, you can be transferred to ask the older and older, but I never know Vietnamese, so I may have to find a translator. Su Cong said that he had a big eye.
"Well, you go and arrange it. ”
"Yes, lady. ”
It's a pity that Cheng Jia is not by her side now, otherwise she can ask Cheng Jia in person, what is the purpose of his construction of this ship, which has attracted the covetousness of people from other countries, and since this green brick is so strong, why not immediately use it in the city defense construction of my Chu country, so as not to be stolen by other countries one day, and then be subject to it.
Seeing that all the strings in it had been confessed, but there was still one thing that had not been explained, a female voice suddenly interjected from behind, "Then your Xian clan took advantage of the traces of the great water of my Chu country to forcibly kidnap the displaced people as slaves everywhere, why don't you confess this?"
"What we have always done is a serious business, and those who are sold into slavery will be punished, and we will never do it. String replied on his knees.
"Is it? You even did things like stealing blue brick craftsmanship and ramming the building ship, and if you want to say that you will not do it if you are sold into slavery, who will believe it?"
Huo Dao scolded with a smile, "Your grandfather Huo, I have seen your people arrest more than a dozen homeless people after the flood, and they are forcibly taken into slavery, and they still don't admit it, do you want to call people to confront you!"
"We recognize what we have done, and we will never recognize what we have not done. Xiangao knelt down and still said.
"Okay, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, and now that the case of selling people has been filed, coupled with the theft of Cheng's green brick craftsmanship and the attack on Cheng's building boat, the three crimes are parallel, it is estimated that your two brothers seem to be leaving their lives in Chu this time. Huo Dao saw that they would not admit it, and threatened.
Hearing this, Mi Huang said, "Huo Dao doesn't need to talk nonsense with them, tie up the two of them, send them back to Yingdu directly, and hand them over to the Criminal Prison Department for trial!"
"Yes, lady. ”
"Hey, if I was in the army, I would have done you two a long time ago. Now it is inconvenient for us to use the torture privately, but when we get to the prison department, your brother who looks like a little girl is afraid that he will have to take off a layer of skin, so think about it and confess everything, maybe we can get a light hair. Huo Dao said while ordering someone to tie up the two.
Xianyu's eyes suddenly froze, "Master, I hate it most in my life when others say that I look like a woman, you should be damned!"
When the words fell, his gaze was like substance, and Huo Dao met it.
Huo Dao suddenly lost his ability to move, and the action of binding made Xianyu and Xian Gao suddenly release the rope.
Seeing this, Mi Huang wanted to stop it, but it had already been made by him.
"I said, you can't stop me!"
