Chapter Seventy-Four: Interrogation

"Wu'an, let the people of Longjiang Express come in"

After a while, a black and non-slippery Han paper in his forties walked in, with a somewhat arrogant attitude, and said:

"The days of delay on the road will also be counted. ”

This voice is the same as that of the leader of the water thieves, and it is the accent of the area along the river in Yuyang.

Wang Jingxing said lightly: "I heard that there is no personnel on the river in the Dalongjiang area that you are not familiar with, ask you a few questions, if the answer is good, ten times the salary." ”

The middle-aged man looked over in surprise.

Wang Jingxing made a gesture, and Zhu Yi brought the portrait to the middle-aged man's eyes:

"Big brother, please take a closer look, that day in Humen Gorge, we almost capsized, at the last moment, it was these heroes who saved us, and it was too late to thank them, they hurried away when they had something, my son-in-law's grace of dripping water will be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention the grace of saving lives. ”

The middle-aged man looked and looked, looked and looked, and wanted to stop the credit on his own people, but from his puzzled expression, he knew that he didn't know these people, but how could he give up this opportunity.

"At first glance, this sailor suit can only be made by my Longjiang Express, and there is only one piece per person, tailor-made. ”

Xia Zhuyi's disappointed expression: "I thought you were a jack of all trades...... big brother?"

The eldest brother hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't know, it depends on your sincerity."

"You and your benefactors are all in the same dart game, so naturally your remuneration is indispensable, and you are still satisfied with five hundred taels?"

"One thousand taels! This is the secret of our chief helmsman, and I also knew it by accident, if he found out that I had leaked the secret, I would definitely not be able to get along in Dalongjiang. ”

"Okay, how about fifteen hundred taels. If you say it well, I can add more. ”

"Childe...... Give so much?"

Middle-aged people are afraid that they will regret it, and they know everything in one breath.

"We are legally running water transportation on the surface, but in fact, there is a group of people around the helmsman. Codenamed "Water Ghost", all of them are proficient in water and have strong martial arts. Specialized in doing some unknown things on the Dalongjiang River, such as intercepting a rich businessman, killing someone in the water, and robbing something...... What you said about the rescue of Humen Gorge...... Maybe it's to rob you of your money, not your life. I'm grateful to Dade!"

"Is there a lot of work done like this? Is it the chief helmsman who gives the order to act, or is there another leader in charge?"

"These things don't happen often, but as long as they happen, they never miss their hands, and they come and go without a trace, so they are called water ghosts. ”

Wang Jingxing knew in his heart that this water ghost was specially handled by the chief helmsman, and legal means would not work, so he could only let the water ghost do it for him.

"Do they run transport?"

"Anyway, I haven't seen it on the river. ”

Xia Zhuyi: "Maybe, it's not that you haven't seen them, it's that you don't know if you see them and you don't know that they are water ghosts." ”

Wang Jingxing: "How many years have you been running on this route?"

"I was born on this river, and I have been eating this bowl of rice"

"How is the tea from Lanfu out of Shu transported"

"How can they trust us if they are a loner...... However, I haven't seen anyone from Lanfu transport tea in Dalongjiang. ”

"Have you ever transported anything unsightly on the Dalongjiang River?"

The middle-aged man looked vigilant: "Who are you?"

Wang Jingxing said lightly: "Your gold master, if you answer well, two thousand taels will be yours, if you answer badly, maybe, you will sleep in this inn." ”

The middle-aged man was about to rush out of the door, but Wu An stood at the door holding his sword and looked at him coldly.

Wang Jingxing was still chatting calmly, "You can name a few of the things that were illegally transported." ”

The middle-aged man looked frightened, angry, and aggrieved.

"Those who are not registered with the government are illegal, they smoke too much, furs, Tibetan medicines, Shu brocade smuggled privately, bronze ware, black sand products..."

"Are there any ores?"

"Nope. ”

Xia Zhuyi: "Do you know where there are mineral deposits in the west and east section of the Dalongjiang River?"

"Auntie, how would I know this when I ran the shipping line?"

"You're a native, in case you've heard of it. ”

"I really don't know, there are many gold mines along the river, and the government has not approved a few mines. ”

"That's where cypress wood is most widely distributed, and the locals like to make wood products from cypress. ”

"There are a lot of Yuyin County where you are now, and the cypress wood products here are also very famous, and there are also a lot of them in the west and east, and Bashu is rich in cypress."

"In recent years, have there been ships to transport cypress boxes to Yuyang County?"

"That thing doesn't make money, who's going to ship it. ”

Xia Zhuyi glanced at Wang Jingxing, his eyes were full of doubts: Could it be that the clue of Shanglan Mansion on the Dalongjiang River is broken?

Wang Jingxing said to the middle-aged: "You are also a person with a head and a face in Dalongjiang, and you have signed an agreement with your host for half a year to escort you, then you will be asked to lead the way for us, if we are in distress halfway, you will not be able to escape." "The implication is that he is forbidden to communicate with the outside world, and if he is discovered by the enemy, you will be the first to die.

Knowing too much, the middle-aged man gave up struggling, "I hope you don't kill me after you do it." ”

"Well, I don't like to kill. ”

The middle-aged man went out, leaving only Wang Xia and the others.

Xia Zhuyi drooped his head,

"I'm so tired, could it be that Mrs. Lan sent someone to intercept and kill us, my lord, do you want to arrest the head of Longjiang Express and torture him to extract a confession. ”

"Catching him will only startle the snake, he is just a killer who takes people's money to do things for others, these people's transactions will not meet directly, maybe he himself does not know who the owner is. ”

"I feel like it's Madame Lan, and we only offended her. What is the background of this person, it is too mysterious. ”

"It doesn't have to be her direct hand, it may also be anyone in this chain of interests, you have been frightened a lot recently, just rest well when you are tired, don't worry about these things first, I will take revenge, and when you catch the enemy, how about letting you come over and kick two feet to relieve your anger." ”

"I can't get rid of my anger by kicking him, I'm going to drown him in the devil's mouth, put a rope and a stone on my waist, and pull him to play"

The corners of Wang Jingxing's mouth bent, and the rope on his waist was on his waist, is this to vent his anger for me? ! The stone is not as heavy as yours.

Recently, it has been dripping rain, and I can only nest in the inn.

"Use the Huashan faction" Wang Jingxing listened to the words, the second senior brother is not easy to deal with, but several of his little apprentices look so simple, Xia Zhuyi wanted to go out in person to set up the news, Wang Jingxing did not allow it, and sent Du Niang to inquire about one thing.

The second senior brother made a big fuss in the Lan Mansion and released cruel words, if he did not hand over Wen Yuan, the Huashan faction would unite with other sects to encircle and suppress the Lan Mansion. Only two days after the news was released, Wen Yuan came to meet him in person.
