Chapter 252: The Two Sides
Li Hua'er crossed the two sides of the confrontation on the bank of the river and looked at the Cai family's boat docked on the river. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The three-story tall ship is much larger than the Cai family's ships that Li Huaer has seen before.
Whether they come prepared or not, the real focus is only on whether there is military smuggling on board.
She thought, and looked in the direction of the bow of the ship.
By the light of the fire on the shore, you can clearly see the Cai character merchant flag on the flagpole raised high on the bow of the ship, and the emblem of the Cai family caravan.
But unexpectedly, there were no chess pieces on the side of the ship.
Li Hua'er's heart jumped suddenly, but she quickly regained her composure.
Missing out at night, and this kind of posture is a big suspicion.
Besides, things have come to this point, no matter what, you have to find something on the boat to save Li Da.
At this moment, I heard the goatee man smirk: "What? What did General Tong think? ”
General Tong continued to be silent, his cold expression was obviously more contradictory under the light of the firelight.
Fang Cai's heart-wrenching words, once it is not handled well, don't say that General Tong's net worth is not guaranteed, it is the Shen family in Beijing, I am afraid it will also be a setback.
If it can't be proved that there is a problem with the caravan, then it is obvious who should be sacrificed to save whom.
Therefore, before General Tong could speak, Li Hua'er took a deep breath and shouted in the loudest voice: "Dad! ”
The little girl's voice pierced the silence on the shore, causing the sergeants, government soldiers, and boatmen on the shore to look in the direction of the sound together.
I saw Li Hua'er running over from the shore, and said as she ran: "Dad, Dad!" What's wrong with you? ”
Li Da, who was tied up by five flowers, heard Li Huaer's voice and looked at her sideways, his eyes full of regret for his daughter.
When the goatee man saw that a little girl suddenly ran out of the slash, and he was still shouting father, he knew that it was Li Da's family, and immediately said, "Come on, take down the thief girl!" ”
However, the sergeants on General Tong's side came faster than them.
Especially Fang Shan, who ran faster than everyone else, had already stopped Li Hua'er first.
"Now go home and take care of your sister-in-law." He whispered in Li Hua'er's ear and added, "With General Tong here, at least you can keep your sisters and sister-in-law." ”
Li Hua'er turned her head sideways to look at him.
The young man looked a little depressed and apologetic, apparently thinking that he had broken his errand, but could not do anything about it, so he comforted her with such words.
"Captain Fang, let me go and talk to my father." Li Hua'er said seriously.
She wasn't afraid of being caught by the government soldiers, but if Fang Shan stopped her like this, then she wouldn't be able to do anything.
Fang Shan wanted to persuade again, but found that Li Hua'er's face was very calm now, and she didn't have half a bit of fear, but she was confident.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he was an axial person, and there were government soldiers approaching step by step, so he still said: "If you want to go over, I'm afraid that you will be arrested, be obedient, go back first." ”
Behind Fang Shan, several sergeants pressed their waist knives in their hands, and did not allow the soldiers of the People's Government to approach and arrest them.
Seeing this, the goatee man stopped doing it, and said angrily with a sharp voice: "General Tong, do you have to protect this disrespectful thief father and daughter today?" ”
General Tong felt powerless at the moment.
Checking the merchant ship was an errand arranged by him, and when Li Dalai told him about Tao and Cai's tricks before, he also asked Li Dalai to let go of it.
But now that there is such a big mistake, it seems that Li Da can't be saved.
With such thoughts in his heart, he naturally wanted to protect Li Hua'er and appease Li Da's heart.
Yes, hearing the goatee man say this, General Tong slowly spoke, and said: "Now that the crime has not yet been decided, how can there be a reason to take a wife and a child first." ”
The goatee man didn't want him to say this, so he blew his beard and shouted, "General Tong seems to be really going to be the enemy of my state capital?" ”
The attitude is unusually arrogant.
At this moment, Li Da, who was already in a hurry, spoke: "Hua'er go home quickly, take care of your mother, it's your father...... Dad, I'm sorry for you, General Tong, you are ineffective in handling things, so I apologize here with death. ”
After that, he was about to touch the sergeant's knife next to him.
even wanted to exchange their lives for the safety of their mother and daughter.
The soldiers were startled and hurriedly withdrew their swords.
Li Da didn't die all of a sudden, he was pressed even tighter, and he couldn't move anymore.
Li Hua'er was so frightened that her soul was about to disperse, and she hurriedly said loudly: "There is something on the ship!" ”
Everyone was stunned, especially Fang Shan, who was stopping her, even more stunned.
When the goatee man heard this, he sneered: "Sure enough, it's a thief girl, and at such a time, she is still quibbling." ”
Li Hua'er pulled Fang Shan's sleeve and insisted: "Captain Fang, there is something on the ship, you let me go, I can prove it." ”
Fang Shan heard that she was so sure that he couldn't make up his mind, so he glanced back at General Tong.
General Tong's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.
Since he came here to garrison, he has dealt with Li Hua'er once, and he has also heard Shen Heng talk about this girl's ability.
If it's not good, it's on her, and it's safe?
"Fang Shan, let her in." General Tong's tone was still so emotionless.
Li Hua'er ran to General Tong's side, hurriedly saluted, and asked, "General, I don't know what this ship is carrying tonight?" ”
When General Tong heard her say this, he turned his head sideways and looked at the adjutant general standing behind him.
The deputy replied: "Ten sets of one hundred and eight pieces of porcelain of different colors, ten kinds of jade bonsai." Now there are two sets of broken porcelain. ”
Li Hua'er now entered the crowd, and only then did she see that on the ground next to the ferry, two sandalwood trees were poured, and the broken porcelain pieces inside were wrapped in yellow satin and sprinkled on the ground.
She had a better idea in her mind.
There is a very rare red clay in Pingshui Prefecture, which can produce very good porcelain; And the jade on the mountain near the border in the south is crystal clear.
Therefore, when Pingshui Prefecture made offerings, most of them were sent to Beijing, and others, such as wood and silk, were common.
Li Hua'er listened, nodded, turned around again, and ran towards the river.
General Tong wanted to ask her how she knew that there must be something on the ship, but she didn't want to open her mouth yet, but the girl ran away first, and couldn't help but be stunned.
And everyone was waiting for Li Hua'er to say what was on the boat, and they saw Li Hua'er suddenly run to the river.
Fang Shan looked at her back in a daze, and suddenly as if he understood something, he also ran over and said, "Stop her, don't let her jump into the river!" ”
When he shouted, everyone really thought that Li Huaer was going to jump into the river.
Especially Li Da, who collapsed there as soon as it was dark, trying to stop it with a voice, but he couldn't even make a sound.
Qingshuihe must be at odds with their family.
Seeing this, the goatee man immediately said, "If you don't take the thief girl, where is it so easy to let them die!" ”
The soldiers immediately chased after him.
And the sergeant on General Tong's side also ran over with Fang Shan, trying to hold Li Hua'er. (To be continued.) )
