155 Chishui Pier(2)
At the same time, the mixed Chishui Wharf was as dirty and messy as ever, and in a merchant ship full of goods, the owner of the ship walked back and forth on the deck, swearing and saying: "Where did you come from, get out of the way!" β
The long-haired boy begging on the deck was kicked to the side of the boat. Almost swallowed up by the rushing waves, he hung half of his body outside, his dirty face revealing a frightened expression, and his mouth shouted "woo woo wow" something.
Crumbling on the dilapidated edge of the hull, all sorts of people passed by him with lewd expressions, laughing, and even teasing him, with no intention of helping him at all.
The boy desperately climbed up, and was punched and kicked by a big man who passed by and grabbed his scalp and pushed him into the corner.
There is not a shred of humanity in the whole process.
The young man was covered in bruises, his frightened eyes dodged in a panic, and suddenly he aimed at the cabin opposite, this kind of merchant ship that pulls goods is not large, and the cabin inside is also dilapidated, which can be inhabited.
The window of the cabin was very small, just revealing a person's face, and the young man suddenly saw a good-looking face, which was clean compared to the people coming and going at the Chishui Wharf, and he stretched out his hand and said "Wow, wow, wow, wow" twice.
The face instantly turned pale and shrank back.
The boy lowered his head, and immediately remembered this unusual face.
Mu Qingqing was shocked, hid in the corner of the cabin, patted the heart that was about to jump out of his chest, bit his lower lip, and couldn't stop trembling.
No one could have imagined what she had seen in just a few days at Chishui Pier, it was terrifying!
She always thought that leaving Mu Mansion was the most miserable moment of her life, and when she arrived here, she realized that what was not at all before?
People who really live at the bottom and steal their lives are inhumane, they are all animals, they only have interests in their eyes, what is human life!
On the deck outside the ship, there are still long traces of blood from last night, which are traces of a living person being dragged out.
Now she trembles when she looks at it more, she is so scared!
Helplessly clasping her arms, she wanted to go back, wanted to go back to the capital - there must be a way!
She still has her mother, and her mother has escaped from prison by faking her death, and if her mother is here, she will definitely go to Daqi to find her.
Gritting her teeth, Mu Qingqing didn't dare to look outside anymore, she hid in the corner tremblingly, paying careful attention to the movement outside.
Zheng Zonglin was discussing something outside with a few people she didn't know, and she didn't understand it very well.
Suddenly, there was a violent knock on the door of the cabin, Mu Qingqing exclaimed, Zheng Zonglin stepped in two steps, and said angrily: "What is it called!" β
She shook her head with tears in her eyes.
Fang Cai still knocked on the door with his hand, and now he could feel that the people outside were kicking with their feet, and seeing that the door was not opened for a long time, the two big men at the door scolded: "Where did you come from, open the door for the uncle!" Believe it or not, Lao Tzu chopped you up and fed the fish, hurry up! β
Zheng Zonglin gave a look, and as soon as the person inside opened the door, he was kicked heavily in the chest and kicked out two meters away.
The big man came in with his chest half exposed, glanced around the faces of several people opposite, and spat on the spot: "Miscellaneous people! What are you doing hiding in broad daylight, what are a group of big men chirping crookedly, could it be that they are hiding the little lady? β
Mu Qingqing, who was hiding behind, was stunned, and his lips were bitten.
"Hahaha, search for me!"
The big man violently kicked over the table and chair that was already missing arms and legs, and the entire cabin was instantly clear at a glance, and Mu Qingqing was lifted up by a pair of rough and cold hands with his slender neck and thrown on the ground.
There was a lewd laugh in his ears: "Giggles, there really is a little lady." β
"Tut-tut...... Come from a big place, you see this thin skin and tender meat, it is much better than the droopy skin on the ship. β
Mu Qingqing didn't know that she had been touched by a few people, she trembled, and looked at Zheng Zonglin beggingly: "Big ...... People, Qing'er is a ...... who came out with you."
You can't be so ruthless!
Perhaps it was the behavior of these people that made Zheng Zonglin very unhappy, he was really angry, and said coldly: "What do you mean by getting on the boat and giving money?" β
After hearing this, the big man insulted Zheng Zonglin with the eyes of a fool, and mocked: "When you get on the boat, you have to be obedient, you are all miscellaneous dogs on the ship!" Do you know what the end of the rebellion will be? β
The big man showed his fishy yellow teeth, his expression was hideous, he pointed to the waves facing the night that were about to churn, and smiled obscenely: "Bangββ! β
"I'll throw it down for you! Hahaha......"!
Zheng Zonglin's face turned pale, how could he have received such treatment, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and a man in black behind him gently stopped him and whispered: "My lord, don't act rashly." β
Every intersection they are returning to now is basically blocked by the people of the regent Xiao Ci, as long as they show the slightest rumor somewhere, they will definitely be discovered by the people of the palace.
When the time comes, it can only be a dead end, and they must keep a low profile and try not to cause trouble.
Zheng Zonglin forcibly exhaled a breath of turbidity, although Mu Qingqing was not an important thing, but he was so cheap to others, he was still a little unwilling, and snorted: "Take the money." β
Someone immediately handed him a stack of silver tickets, and Zheng Zonglin stuffed it unhappily: "Borrow your ship and double it to the ground, everyone has nothing to do with it, how about it?" β
The big man smiled and swept the heavy pile of silver tickets in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and stared at Mu Qingqing for a while, as if he could dismantle her with his eyes.
In the end, he cursed a few swear words and turned away.
The person has left, Mu Qingqing still has palpitations, she knelt in front of Zheng Zonglin, and begged humbly: "Please don't give up on me, when you get to Daqi, Qing'er is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the adult." β
Zheng Zonglin: "Get acquainted, don't go out!" I won't protect you if you lose your life, slut! β
"My lord, these people have been refusing to send a ship for a long time, and it is not advisable to stay here for a long time."
Glaring angrily at the person who spoke, Zheng Zonglin said, "Don't I want to leave this place as soon as possible!" A bunch of pickled people who have never seen the world, a bunch of bugs! Disgusting garbage! Sooner or later, you will die on this broken ship! β
And now they have to compromise on this broken ship, it's disgusting to think about!
Zheng Zonglin: "Before tomorrow, we must leave this place!" β
Late at night, the Chishui Pier was still in disarray, and clowns from all over the country jumped out and shouted.
The cargo has basically been moved, and after a short rest, the ship will quietly disappear in the darkness of the sea and sky in the long night like countless stowaways, and there will be no trace for a long time.
By the time they stay on shore again, there will be at least half as many people on board.
As for countless nights, the waves rolled so loudly that they drowned out the small voices.
In the same merchant ship, it looks no different from the "brothers" at Chishui Wharf on the outside, but inside the cabin is orderly and neat.
A slightly white young man pulled the window and looked at it for a while, then turned back to a butler-looking man: "Hey, look, the boat on the other side is about to leave, what should I do now?" β
The housekeeper looked like a veteran, took a sip of hot tea unhurriedly, went to get rid of the cold, and then said with a puffy mouth: "What's the hurry?" It's going to be two hours later, and the son only let us stare at it, and didn't let us go up to fight with people, Liqiu, why are we businessmen, why are we serious businessmen, businessmen use money to speak, don't use fists. β
"Liqiu" was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know why he changed his name again today, this old housekeeper can be regarded as an elder of Ouyang Ji, he looks mediocre, and a lot of the business on the underworld is over his hands.
It's very tight - the only drawback is that you can call people what you remember.
"Liqiu" continued to stare as if he didn't understand: "What are we doing with Childe letting us stare at a broken ship?" β
Old butler: "If you stare at you, you will stare at it, where is so much nonsense!" Childe said that someone would come. β
"Huh?" Liqiu shivered his cold hands and asked curiously, "Who will come?" Geezer? β
"You turtle grandson, how do I know! Childe ordered that he was going to call someone, but didn't he believe it. β
Liqiu: "......"
His son-in-law is quite reliable! Otherwise, the Ouyang clan would not have risen so quickly, and the second son would not be much better than the eldest son?
Both have their own strengths.
Liqiu continued to pull away and glance at it, and saw many people from all directions walking towards his boat in the crowd, Liqiu was surprised: "Oh no, someone grabbed the boat!" β
The old butler leaned back, almost rolled over, got up on the spot, and trembled: "Who is so bold!" Ouyang Ji's boat dared to rob it, but he couldn't do it! β
Do you want to do business on the rivers and lakes?
Liqiu whispered: "The key is that this broken boat doesn't dare to blatantly paste the three big characters of Ouyang Ji, butler, we are walking on a black boat now, and we will be arrested by the imperial court." β
Old butler: "......"
The few old teeth were almost bitten off.
That's right, no one knows their identity, and they think that they are the same virtue as Chishui.
As he spoke, the door of the cabin was pushed open, and seven or eight majestic people poured in one after another.
Why do you say "majestic", Liqiu found that as soon as these people came in, their backs were straight, although they were still in the dark night, their faces were solemn, and the sharp sword wrapped in rags in their hands showed a silver-white edge.
Liqiu shivered on the spot, and said in his heart: Good girl! I've run into someone who specializes in robbery! But it doesn't look like it, it won't be the imperial court!
Just thinking about the other party, a big man in the lead showed the palace token in a bright light, and said in a deep voice: "But the second son of Ouyang is the person?" β
The old housekeeper understood at a glance, and nodded again and again: "Yes." β
The leader was the secret guard of the former Jiufang Ju, who was rarely revealed in front of people, so basically no one had seen his face, he strode over, picked open the cabin window with the hilt of his sword, glanced at the night where the torches were flying, and asked directly: "Which is the ship that your son-in-law asked you to keep an eye on?" β
Liqiu stammered and pointed to the boat opposite: "That." β
The dark guard lowered his eyes, walked to the door and turned back to admonish: "Your task is complete, Ouyang Er Gongzi will let you go back." Also, the prince ordered, the black ship goes to the black goods, the law of the beam is not dead, be conscious, hand over the goods before tomorrow morning, and get out directly! β
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Leaving the old butler and Liqiu dumbfounded!
Old butler: "......"
What did this grandson just say?!!
