The third son-in-law of the Xie family, the youngest daughter of Xie Huaijin in the third division, is going to marry to Xindu on the ninth day of this month, which is no secret in Yuyang County. Whether it's a secret or not is not the point, the point is ...... In Yuyang County, no one dared to check the Xie family's carriages, horses and ships.
What's more, after a long time and never returned, Huo Tingyi disappeared under the noses of the three people in Fengcheng again. Plus...... There were inexplicably more than 2,000 people ...... the account book. ”
Taken together, it is obvious that Huo Shen wants to use the happy boat to seek a way out.
Want to take advantage of the ship...... There has to be a price!
After thinking for a moment, Xie Jiang picked up the account book and patted it twice on the table, and then shouted softly outside the window: "Is the new moon here?" Her voice was soft and waxy, as if with a little smile.
Mama Han couldn't help but secretly shake off a cold sweat, and the master smiled sweetly...... Some will be unlucky. Thinking about it, the old woman quietly picked up the clay pot, poured half of it, and heard Yujing "Huh?" Where are you from....... ”
It was as if someone had whispered. When the voice fell, the eyes of the two were dark, and Xinyue had already saluted in front of the window and said, "Lady, do you have anything to tell the slave maid?" ”
"Come in, come in and say." Xie Jiang beckoned, and when the little girl leaned over, he said with a mysterious face: "The one in Qingshi Slope is about to show his head." ”
What is the ...... More exciting than boning and omelette. The tail of the crescent moon's slender eyes straightened, turned her face to look left and right, and simply grabbed the windowsill with both hands and jumped up, floating into the house lightly.
Mama Han lowered her eyebrows and leaned back.
At this moment, where could Xie Jiang take care of her, and said softly: "Some people want to fish in troubled waters and take a happy boat, and there are nearly two thousand people in one ride." After saying this, he tapped the account book with his fingertips, squinted his eyes, and ordered, "The ship was scheduled to leave tomorrow." At this time, these people must be near the riverbank, and they called the iron thorn to investigate. ”
The Huo family's father and son can pretend to be servants or boatmen, but what about Xie Ningshuang? This girl has always been pampered, and she has to take two steps timidly and take two breaths. How did she get on board?
Xinyue saluted in a muffled voice, and when she straightened up, she squinted her eyes to look at Mama Han. glanced at it, took two steps back, and honestly lifted the curtain and walked through the hall door.
The sound of footsteps is far away. There was silence under the porch.
Mama Han glanced at Xie Jiang, and when she saw that her eyes were empty and she looked out of the window, she looked like a fugue, and wanted to remind the girl to restrain her words, so she swallowed it back.
It was dark on a rainy day, but when it was shining, it was dark.
Yujing brought the food into the house: "Lady, I cooked the broth today, and the egg custard that the lady likes to eat." As he spoke, he put it on the table in the same way.
Isn't it usually just called eating vegetable porridge? Why did you open it today? Thinking like this in his heart, Xie Jiang naturally asked, "Isn't Mama not allowed to use meat?" Because of doubts, and because of the blurt out, the voice was slightly higher than usual.
"I have to take a boat in the next few days, and the old slave is afraid that the wind and waves will be too strong for the lady to stand it." Mama Han came in with a curtain, swept Hantang Yujing left and right with her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Go to the bud kitchen and scoop a bowl of soup again." ”
There was a large clay bowl of broth on the table, and ...... Obedient to the voice, the two little girls are no longer good at it, and Hantang is snorting towards Yujing. The two of them withdrew in a muffled voice.
"Beidou is back, the little girl is covered in mud, and the old slave asked her to bathe and change her clothes and come to see the lady again." Saying this, Mama Han glanced at Xie Jiang. Seeing that she lowered her eyes and listened attentively, her voice became more and more low: "Beidou said that there are 100 boats parked at the port, and she only checks the "Zhao" flag, and there are 39 ships. As for other ships. The little girl didn't dare to ask. ”
That is to say, Zhao Ling used more than 30 boats to come to Yuyang. His entourage slaves only supported more than 200 people, and these people could be carried in five or six medium-sized ships, and the extra ones were just to play a stable role in the wind and waves.
Excluding the ones that took the passengers, at least thirty ships were empty.
At 50 per ship, about 1,500 people could be carried, and the number recorded in the account books was 1,427.
Is this a coincidence? Really? Is it the Zhao family that deliberately prepared so many empty ships in order to pick up "people", or the number of empty ships that Huo Shen found out was determined?
Thinking of the gentle young man, he said softly: "Xie Niangzi, don't be afraid, dozens of boats are connected together with hemp ropes, which can hold the entire river, and the ...... that can't be turned over." ”
Xie Jiang was a little confused.
If this qiē is just a coincidence, just God gave the Huo family father and son a chance, then the Zhao family is only "at the right time"; But what if not? If the Zhao family and the Huo family are the same family...... The Xie family, can Xie Huaijin, this father, get rid of it?
That night, Xie Jiangzhi waited until he saw the new moon before resting.
The next day, when the sky was about to dawn, Zhao Ling came to pick up people. The two went to Xinyulou to bid farewell to Xie Huaijin and the second lady, and then took a carriage to the port.
At the beginning of the hour, when the rain gradually stopped, more than 30 large ships went down the river.
On the first day of the boat, when the boat docked at night, a leaf boat also stopped here, and when the fleet left on the second day, this leaf boat had already disappeared. Along the way, three or five merchant ships carrying cloth and porcelain were far away, or a dozen fishing clippers followed each other.
The water was surging and windy, but the rain had gradually subsided.
The new capital, more than 400 miles away, is still stormy.
The third year of junior high school is in the middle of the hour.
Dongcheng entered the courtyard, and when he bypassed the vine trellis and looked up to see the distant mountains, Fang asked in a deep voice, "Is the son here?" ”
"Childe is in the house." Yuanshan turned sideways and let him into the house, and when the two passed by, they remembered the matter of "making up for the merits", and couldn't help but suppress their voices and asked, "Is the investigation clear?" ”
Dongcheng grinned and was just about to speak, when he saw Jiu Gongzi's eyes slanting towards him, and he was busy making a look at the distant mountains. After his eyes, he stepped forward and bowed: "The servant has seen the son." ”
"Hmm." The ninth prince's eyes flickered and fell on the porcelain cup. In the red porcelain bowl in the glaze, a few wisps of water vapor rose up, and when the water vapor gradually subsided, Fang asked lightly: "What is the situation?" ”
This person was in a state of indifference, but Dongcheng didn't dare to really think that he didn't care, and replied respectfully at the moment: "The servant pretended to be a fugitive and went to the land, and learned that Zhao Langjun had purchased a total of three large ships and twenty-six medium-sized ships; His entourage was two hundred and one servants. ”
Even if you want to stabilize the ship, a dozen or so medium-sized ships are enough, and nearly thirty are purchased in one go...... The light in the eyes of the ninth prince flashed, and just as he was about to speak, Dongcheng suddenly took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "The servant still has a report." ”
In the middle of the report, there was a "still love", and the ninth prince squinted his eyes and glanced at the two of them.
The two of them bowed and withdrew.
