Chapter 227: Blockade of the docks
A few days later, Ru Yan and Gongsun Ziyuan left Yuncheng, but when they traveled to the outskirts of the city, they disguised themselves as ordinary people and lurked on the outskirts of Yuncheng, waiting for news in the city, and did not go away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Only ten days after this incident passed, there was news in the city that the wharf of Yuncheng had begun to transport salt again.
"I'm right, Yuwen Changhong must have had something to burn his eyebrows, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to take such a big risk! What do you think? When to enter town? Gongsun Ziyuan asked Ru Yan.
"Don't worry, it's not the time yet!" , Ru Yan is still very calm, and everything is in the palm of her hand.
However, Gongsun Ziyuan couldn't sit still, "Sister Yan, isn't it, isn't it time?" When is the right time? Wait until they've finished shipping all the salt? Don't blame me for not reminding you then, Yuwen Changhong's salt is in batches, not every day needs to be transported, after this batch is shipped, I don't know how long I will have to wait until the next batch! ”
Ru Yan smiled and threw a bag of things to Gongsun Ziyuan.
"What is this?" , Gongsun Ziyuan asked.
"Chrysanthemum tea! For you! Ru Yan replied.
Gongsun Ziyuan was unconvinced: "Sister Yan, you are not saying that I am angry and need to lower the fire, right?" ”
"Eh, I didn't mean that, if you don't like it, just give it back to me, I'll keep it for myself!" , Ru Yan said.
"That's not good, the things that Sister Yan gave me, they are all treasures, even if I don't drink it, I have to keep it every day, it's okay to take it out and smell it!" , Gongsun Ziyuan replied.
A few days later, Gongsun Ziyuan came to urge Ru Yan again, "Sister Yan, I didn't say you, if you don't take action again, Yuwen Changhong's salt will really be shipped out, so won't all the efforts we made before be in vain?" ”
"Xiao Yuan, I got a secret report from an informant, Linfeng Yan is recruiting troops recently! In my opinion, if you want to blend in with the Windfall Rock, this is a great opportunity! Ru Yan said.
"Windside Rock? Isn't that the territory of the bandit leader? Gongsun Ziyuan asked.
Ru Yan nodded and replied, "Exactly!" ”
"Sister Yan, then you can't go, that place is too dangerous, that place is a group of big men who use swords and swords, you are a weak woman with no power to restrain chickens, it's too unsuitable!" , Gongsun Ziyuan hurriedly persuaded.
"I didn't say I was going!" , Ru Yan said.
"I thought you were going, scared me to death!" , Gongsun Gendao.
"I mean--you go!" , Ru Yan said again.
"What? Sister Yan, you cheated me, but the pit is a bit bad! Besides, if I go to Linfeng Rock, I don't worry if you go to the dock alone to arrest people! Gongsun Ziyuan replied.
"Why don't you worry, does Yuwen Changhong dare to eat me?" , Ru Yan asked disapplauded.
Five days later, Huang Hui was in Yuwen Changhong's study to report on the situation at the dock.
"Master, today's batch is the last batch, after the shipment, we can rest for a while!" , Huang Guidao.
Yuwen Changhong also breathed a long sigh of relief, sat on the chair, leaned back slightly, and replied: "Great, after this batch is finished, we will indeed have to rest for a while!" Uncle Huang, you just go back to your hometown to have a look and have a good rest for a while! ”
Huang Gui raised his eyebrows, "Thank you, Shizi, then I'll go to the dock now and keep an eye on it!" ”
"No need!" , Yuwen Changhong responded: "There shouldn't be anything wrong on the last day, you send someone to the restaurant to book a place, everyone has worked hard during this time, let's have a meal together in the evening!" ”
Huang Gui responded and went to do it immediately.
However, when Huang Hui returned, things were a different story.
A dock steward stumbled in and was held by Huang Gui. Huang Huang scolded: "What is it that makes you so panicked and lose your etiquette in front of the prince!" ”
The man hurriedly reported, "Three...... Third master, Manager Huang, the big thing is not good, our dock has been sealed! ”
"What, it's blocked, who is it blocked, you hurry up and make it clear!" , Huang Huang said urgently.
"It was sealed by Chen Ruyan, right?" , Yuwen Changhong seemed much calmer.
"Third master, what's the matter...... How do you know? The man was surprised, "Now the goods and people at the dock have been detained by her, villain...... The villain also sneaked out! ”
Huang Huang stomped his feet and said hurriedly: "I know that this woman is not so simple!" Lord, what should we do now? ”
Yuwen Changhong chuckled lightly and said with a slight mockery: "How is it good?" The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, the truth since ancient times! It's just that we probably won't be able to eat tonight! ”
"I'll take care of this matter, you go down first!" , Yuwen Changhong also instructed the steward of the dock who came to report the news.
"Yes, Third Master!" The man answered and stepped out.
At this time, Huang Gui's eyes suddenly rolled and he had an idea. Huang Huang stopped the steward and said to him: "You wait for me in the pavilion on the other side of the rockery first, and after I finish talking to the third master, I will come to you to say something!" ”
"Yes, Mr. Huang!" The man answered, and walked towards the rockery.
Huang Hui followed to take a look, and after confirming that the dock steward had gone away, he returned, closed the door, and said to Yuwen Changhong: "Third master, there is only one remedy left now, and that is to send someone to ...... them before they confess!" ”
Saying that, Huang Hui made a killing move to Yuwen Changhong, signaling to kill all those who knew about the dock.
"No, absolutely not!" , Yuwen Changhong rejected it in one bite, "What if you find out?" I don't believe that the emperor will kill my head for selling illicit salt! Most of the people at the docks have been following me for some years, and I can't be so ruthless! ”
Huang Huang was anxious, "Master, I know you are angry!" But you have to think about the consequences! That's right, even if the private salt is found on your head, it is at best a matter of collecting some money, and the emperor will not do anything to you. But if this thing leads to that incident again, it will be troublesome! ”
Seeing that Yuwen Changhong was still thinking and hesitating, and did not express his position, Huang Huang added: "Master, if you think about this matter carefully, I am very afraid!" Master, think about it, if the emperor was just for the private salt case, he shouldn't be so busy and sent someone surnamed Chen to investigate! Besides, if Gongsun Ziyuan said, as long as he solves the case of private salt, the emperor will allow him to be a general. Can this case of smuggling salt be worthy of the rank of general? It's not worth it at all! ”
"What do you mean the emperor has discovered?" , Yuwen Changhong exclaimed.
"Master, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, it is better to plan for this matter as soon as possible!" , Huang Huang persuaded bitterly.
Yuwen Changhong walked around the room, thought for a while, and replied: "It's still not good, if I kill these people on the dock today, if this matter spreads, no one will die for me in the future!" I'm not clearing the way for myself, I'm sealing my own back road! (To be continued.) )
