Chapter 16: Plotting with Thieves

"It will take time to find a ship, and I will give you a satisfactory answer in three days!" Jiang Li stroked his forehead, not wanting to look at the two plague gods in front of him more. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Then I'll be waiting for you here in three days." Xiao Wulang got up with a happy smile. The bearded man who was glaring at him with four joys and angry eyes stood up, raised his chin and hummed: "Headache bird!" Our boat money will not be less than yours, just like the smuggling work in your own shop! ”

Jiang Li raised his head and glared at him fiercely. Xiao Wu hurriedly pulled and pushed him, and said to Jiang Li with a smile: "This is my brother Chen Yu, we will be brothers in the future, you can call him Chen Qi." ”

"No later! Also, we won't be brothers. Jiang Li rolled his eyes and said.

"Don't be so stingy. Our brothers do not receive favors in vain, and if they do it, they will remember your goodness. Xiao Wulang waved the folding fan in his hand and smiled very politely.

Jiang Li waved his sleeves in discouragement, signaling the two of them to leave quickly as if they were chasing flies.

Xiao Wu calmly strode downstairs, and glanced at the two black-clothed men who were drinking at a table in the corner of the building, and the black-clothed men glanced at Jiang Li's master and servant, and nodded almost invisibly in response.

Chen Yu hummed and chirped all the way.

When you go out, you're still humming: "I think you're crazy too!" Find such a sissy person to help, and let people treat Hanako with a face and let's go! If you want me to say that we can't be so polite to him, he won't send us, it's a big deal for us to find someone else, we really can't find a way out, we won't leave, see what the people of the Qin Mansion can do to us. ”

Xiao Wu said with a calm face: "Look at what you can!" Still not leaving? If you don't leave, are you going to stay in the capital and become the emperor? We are not familiar with the place, these smuggling ships can easily take us? We've been wandering around here for about ten days, we can dodge and run, how can we take so many things away? Don't forget that there is a family of brothers waiting for us to go back on an errand. ”

"What is the emperor, the emperor takes turns, maybe in two years, the emperor will be on the head of our brother." Chen Yu had to grunt. He is not as good as kung fu and eloquence, but he has always been better than others. When he can't get out of the air, he really wants to make the fifth scumbag mad.

The fifth old man was not as good as he wanted, and turned around and patted Chen Yu's messy hair with a folding fan in his hand: "Some things can't be solved by brute force!" Look at my brother, I will solve the problem by having a meal with someone, and let my own troubles make others have a headache is the real skill, learn a little! With that, he knocked on his head and strode forward, wearing a moon-white robe that was not stained with light dust, and the wind was infinite.

The headache is naturally Jiang Li.

The people in the restaurant went downstairs one after another, and she didn't leave after seeing the goods and trading.

Originally, she just wanted to come and see the excitement, but she didn't want to get into trouble. No matter who is forced to get on the thief ship, life will not be easy if they want to come. If she were a kid, it would be fine, but it would be a big deal to cause trouble and end up in the rivers and lakes. It's even simpler if it's a single boy, pat your ass and leave, who is afraid of whom?! It's a pity that she isn't, she can't bear everything she has now, and she hasn't had time to enjoy the wealth left by her mother. I have to admit that I am still a layman after all.

Also, after crossing over, she didn't see her father who was far away in Qingzhou. Thinking that today she met one or two robbers with such a headache, and her father, who had always resented her before, was sentenced in Qingzhou, which was a high-risk profession that dealt with bandits, Qingzhou was a well-known den of bandits and robbers, so how should he have a headache every day!

At this moment, Jiang Li inexplicably missed her father. Her body has the memories of two lives, her father in the previous life made her worry and guilt that she couldn't make up, in this life she can put aside her previous resentment against her father and be a filial daughter.

In the final analysis, her father didn't treat her badly, but when she was a child, she saw her mother's tears and helplessness all day long, and listened to her mother's complaints, which made her resentful in her heart. These resentments are all thoughts that her mother has forcibly instilled in her over time. Now this layer of diaphragm has been gently poked open a little gap, and the gushing thoughts make her heart surging and uncontrollable.

Sixi had been sitting on the side and watching Jiang Li's expression. As soon as the robber Xiao Wulang spoke, he was as stupid as he could only explain the seriousness of the matter. When the prime minister of the dynasty is above 10,000 people, the power is all over the court. Although the Jiang family is a Shi family, it is declining after all. Thinking that it might bring extinction to the master, Sixi was even more panicked.

Seeing that Jiang Li's eyes suddenly turned red, he stood up with four joys, tore off the waist card painted with the dazzling golden light of the unicorn, and said nervously: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" If I don't wear this Rausch thing on my body one day, I won't attract these two robbers! If I hadn't fought with that big black man that day, I wouldn't have known them! I ・・・・・・"

"Put the waist card away!" Jiang Li put away his teary eyes, regained his composure in an instant, and said to Sixi with a cold face. "Maybe we'll need it later."

"You mean to let me go to the Qin Mansion to inform?" Sixi asked with a wink.

Jiang Li only looked at him with a blank eye, and said coldly: "Xiao Wu is right, everyone who knows the inside story will be killed!" We are not capable of fighting the Qin Mansion, and the only way to protect ourselves at present is to send them away. ”

"Why don't we go back to the capital and find a way to report it? The old lady in the house has been an official all his life, and he always knows some people in the privy council? The four joys aroused a lot of enthusiasm.

Jiang Li shook his head slightly. In the past, when my grandfather was alive, I also saw a Taiwei Liu come to walk around, and he was the biggest official in the Jiang family who was still moving around. The adults mentioned that this Liu Taiwei was a person from the side of the eighth prince of Dingyuan Mansion, and he had never dealt with Prime Minister Qin. Jiang Li seemed to be useless even if he found Dingyuan Mansion to inform, because now that the batch of things sent by Da Yan was no longer in the Qin Mansion, they would naturally not admit that there was such a thing. With no evidence, who has a red mouth and white teeth, who is full of food and can go to the tiger whiskers of the Qin Mansion?!

"We can still escape! In the future, if you hide in the courtyard of the deep house and never show up again, I will go away, we will not offend on both sides, and we will not help anyone, will we not succeed in this job? Sixi said with a rare sober time.

Jiang Li looked around the restaurant, and there were still some guests scattered. Only then did I notice that I could only put two tables in this position, and the rest of the guest tables were a little far apart. No one should have heard the conversation with Xiao Wu just now.

Jiang Li looked around, and said to Sixi: "Since they dare to rob the Prime Minister's Mansion, they have to move so many things out of the heavily guarded Prime Minister's Mansion, and they have to deal with the pursuit and killing of many guards with strong martial arts, of course, it will not be just the two of them. Since they want to threaten us to send them away, they must keep an eye on preventing us from slipping, but I am afraid that you will not be able to leave if you want to. If you don't send them away generously, forget it, and talk about it later. ”

"So, let's go find a boat for them?" Sixi unconsciously kept up with Jiang Li, but he didn't know that she completely ignored that she was a woman.

"You can't use other people's boats, so you don't have to hurt others. This time, I simply asked you to follow Cui Hai out of the boat, you don't have to hide it from him, you can follow him if you want to. If he doesn't want to, let him rest for a few days, so that he won't be harmed. It's you who can't hide, and since you also have a part in the matter, let you send them away. We can't say anything about this matter in this restaurant, you arrange it, and we'll come back in three days. ”

Sixi nodded his head in response, and the master and servant got up and went downstairs.

The downstairs deal has gone down. Most of these smuggled goods have long-term fixed buyers, and the goods are quick to settle as soon as they arrive. Jiang Li was suffering from a headache upstairs, and the huge Yanziji Market had almost returned to normal.

I only saw that there were suddenly more dusty faces in the crowd coming in and out of the market, these people were either smiling, or sad, or even sad, hiding in a corner of the noisy street and crying!

Jiang Li's eyes swept over these people one by one, guessing that the former was most likely smuggled this time and sold for a good price; The sad face is naturally that there was an accident and the goods were broken, but fortunately there was no accident. And the sad expression must be that someone who smuggled this time had an accident and didn't come back alive.

A trace of compassion swelled in my heart, and I sighed that no matter what kind of world, the people in the lower classes were not easy to live in order to live.

But it's not easy to make a living, and how many people rely on it to disturb their families for a year. Running with these smuggling boats has become another way out for some young people who can't find a way out to support their families.

On the spacious field, there are tea tables, large porcelain bowls, simple stoves, and a flagpole, which is like a big black word 'tea', which is where the guys who come back from the boat go to rest.

The people who ran the boat were middle-aged people, and the elderly and young people were a minority. These people are dark-skinned, sturdy, and walk vigorously, passing in front of them with the smell of sour sweat and the smell of fresh river water.

Jiang Li took Sixi to walk outside the market with the men who had returned from these running boats, and the coachman who had brought them out of Meizhuang was waiting for them outside the market with his neck stretched.

A young man wearing a patched jacket and a scarf with his hair tied up walked up to him, and saw the men running the boat in front of him step forward one by one and greet him: "Big brother, do you still need people on the boat?" ”

Some people in the crowd looked up and down at the young man in front of them, and someone cut loudly: "Your body is running with us?!" I see that when you encounter strong winds and waves on the river, you will not fly away! ”

"Look at him as a poor and sour talent, he wants to be literate or unliterate, he wants to be martial arts or not, and he is reduced to a boat to beg for a living!" Someone in the crowd sighed.

Jiang Li strode forward, not squinting. Although I am born to be useful, even the wood is divided into agarwood, rosewood, rotten wood, rotten wood, and even rotten wood that is not enough to burn fire, and people are very different, and it is impossible to sympathize with whom and who despises whom.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the market in a few steps, someone in the crowd who walked by recognized the young man and shouted, "Zhang Xiaotian! Didn't you rent the Jiang family's land for your crops? It's not a peaceful year, and honest farming is better than running a boat! You kid is weak, you will be a tenant farmer in Meizhuang for a few years, study and farm, maybe you will be able to go to high school in a few years! ”

Plum Village? Sharecroppers? Jiang Li's pace slowed down.

"Phew!" The young man with the patch spat out, "The Jiang family is mean, our family can't stay in this Meizhuang!" ”

One of the men running the boat stopped and waited curiously for the young man to continue. Some of them also have family members, and many of them now rent land in their homes. The men gathered around them.

Jiang Li picked up a clean table and sat down, looked back at Sixi suspiciously, and said in his heart that this kid had not been in charge of Meizhuang's fields for a long time, and he was afraid that he had done a lot of good things behind his back, so he provoked people to talk like this.

Sixi looked confused, and also came up and sat down.
