Chapter 9 The Plan to Go to Sea

He Yue really died.

After Wu Ping strangled him to death, he packed him in a sack and carried him back as if nothing had happened. Although it was broad daylight, passers-by saw him and thought he was carrying some goods, but they never expected that he was carrying a dead man!

After the liquor shop was closed, Wu Chuan Huanglong was looking at the wind outside, Zhang Wei carefully examined He Yue's body, and saw that he was dead, so he asked Wu Ping: "Why did you kill him?" ”

Wu Ping glanced at Dongmen Qing and said, "I heard what you said last night, I don't care how Brother Wang's money came from, in short, I think he really helped me!" I don't want you to take him to get a reward, so I killed this guy, I hope you don't listen to this surname, boss. ”

Dongmen Qing was grateful when he heard these words, he didn't think too much about Wu Ping last night when he pushed things and made money, he was just moved by Zhang Wei's righteousness, he didn't expect such a little thing to make Wu Ping kill for himself! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stand up and said to Zhang Wei: "Brother Zhang, it's okay!" I can't thank you enough for that! Now that they're taking me on land and at sea, I'm just afraid I won't be able to go! In that case, this bounty should be given to you rather than cheapen others! You kidnap me and go to Quanzhou to receive the bounty. This He Yue's matter is also counted on my head! ”

Zhang Wei hurriedly held him down and said, "Brother Wang, what are you talking about!" I really want to take that bounty, why delay until now! He looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "Carry this thing to the back first, and then drag it to the cemetery at night and bury it!" As for Brother Wang's going to sea, I'll find another way! Although they already knew that Dongmen Qing was not surnamed Wang, they still deliberately did not change their words.

That night, a few of them took advantage of the night to drag He Yue's body to the cemetery and bury it, and to see that there was no one around, Zhang Wei said: "I have a little bit of confidence in what to do about Brother Wang, but before that, we have to make a vow!" ”

Wu Ping, Huang Long, and Wu Chuan asked what oath he took, and Zhang Wei said: "The overlord's underworld pursuit and killing order, I don't know how long it will last." and Hong Dizhen's side, although he hasn't said anything publicly, if he really recognizes that it was Brother Wang who killed his brother, it will be difficult to deal with! So before this hunt order is cancelled, we have to hide our identities for Brother Wang no matter what! He pointed to the place where He Yue was buried and said, "Let's make a vow here!" Brother Wang's surname is Dongmen, unless Brother Wang himself changes back to his surname, or allows us to make the news public, otherwise we have to rot this matter in our stomachs! Even if it is the closest relatives of father and son, and the love of husband and wife, it cannot be revealed, if not, how can there be a Yue! ”

Wu Ping, Huang Long, Wu Chuan and others all knelt down and swore: "We are willing to abide by this oath, if we violate the oath, we will be hit by five thunders, and we will not die!" ”

Dongmen Qing hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, brothers!" Dongmenqing is now a lost dog, and there is nothing to repay his brothers, only to cherish this gratitude in his heart. If there is a day of development in the future, it will not be lost! ”

Zhang Wei helped him up and said, "Brother Wang, this word Dongmen, it's best to forget about yourself in the future." Unless one day the overlord no longer blames you, or you are not even afraid of the overlord, then it will be good to restore your original surname! ”

Dongmen Qing's heart sank and said, "Yes! Brother Xie Zhang mentioned. ”

Zhang Wei said to Wu Ping again: "I'll deal with the matter here, you can go back first tomorrow!" ”

"Go back?" Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Wu Ping was a little puzzled.

"Go back to Zhao'an!" Zhang Wei said: "Your wife is still sick!" How long do you want to stay here! ”

Wu Ping looked at Dongmen Qing, and Zhang Wei said: "Don't worry, I will settle this matter!" ”

Wu Ping said: "That's good! I believe you! Said to Dongmen Qing: "Brother Wang, rest assured, Boss Zhang is not a despicable villain, he can be trusted!" If we meet in the future, we will drink together! ”

After Wu Ping left, Zhang Wei helped Dongmen Qing plan to escape, Dongmen Qing hesitated to flee by land or by sea, Zhang Wei said: "Although the overlord's underworld pursuit and killing order is both sea and land, but the continental law is strictly prohibited, in addition to guarding against the underworld, it is also necessary to guard against the government, and the gap between the two sides is very small, far worse than at sea." Although the sea is dangerous and dangerous, the people who go to sea right now are not clean, and no one will check you if you fabricate a name. Although the Dongmen family has a lot of influence at sea, I think this incident is a little strange. ”

Dongmen Qing asked what was wrong, Zhang Wei said: "I heard that the overlord has a life-saving grace to Xu Longtou and Li Guangtou, it stands to reason that even if Xu Longtou and Wang Wufeng don't care much about the overlord's bounty, they also need to please the Dongmen family." If they had come forward, the net on the southeast sea would be much tighter now than it is now! But now the people who come out to find you on the road are all second- and third-rate goods, and none of the first-rate people on the sea have come forward, so I think there is something strange here, Brother Wang, do you think it is the elders in your family who secretly resisted the hunt and killing order of the overlord? ”

As soon as Dongmen Qing was mentioned by Zhang Wei like this, he remembered the words of the second brother Dongmendu, and thought: "Could it be that the eldest brother and the second brother are protecting me?" He said, "I don't know the situation at home now." However, I think Brother Zhang's analysis is very reasonable. ”

Zhang Wei also said: "If Brother Wang agrees with me, then I think it is better for Brother Wang to avoid the limelight and go to sea." If you are caught on land, you can quickly send it to Quanzhou, and if you are caught by the government, it will be even more troublesome. But if you get lost at sea, there will be much more room to escape. If the owner of Xu and the lord of Wang have the intention to turn a blind eye, then Brother Wang will be safer. But there is a difficulty at the moment, that is, Brother Wang, you and Hong Dizhen have a feud! If it falls into his hands, I am afraid that things will not be good. ”

As soon as he mentioned Hong Dizhen, Huang Long and Wu Chuan both frowned, feeling that it was not easy to get on the boat without Hong Dizhen's eyes and ears in Yuegang, Wu Chuan said: "Otherwise, let's take the land route first and send Brother Wang to Shuangyu to board the ship." Then he shook his head again and again, knowing that it was not appropriate. Shuangyu is in Zhejiang, and if you want to take a land route from Yuegang to Shuangyu, you need to pass through Quanzhou on the way, and the variables are greater! If they don't go through Quanzhou, they will have to make a detour of thousands of miles, and if they have the ability to send Dongmen Qing directly to Huguang, they don't have to worry here.

Zhang Weidao: "Actually, I have a way, the danger is a little more dangerous, but I can win in danger, but I don't know if Brother Wang dares to go." ”

Dongmen Qing asked what the way was, Zhang Wei said: "Hong Ditong and another businessman who was burned to death by you, originally wanted to take his brother's ship to Japan, but now that they are dead, their cabins are vacant, so Hong Dizhen's fleet has empty cabins, and they are moving in the past two days." Hong Ditong and the two of them occupy a lot of space, so with this move, Hong Dizhen's fleet will vacate a lot of space......"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Chuan Huanglong had already opened his mouth wide and said, "Boss...... You...... You don't think ......?"

Zhang Wei said: "I want to make a dangerous move!" Find a place in Hong Dizhen's boat and let Brother Wang go up! What do you guys think? ”

Huang Long said: "Boss, you can think of this kind of idea!" Didn't you send sheep into the tiger's mouth? ”

Zhang Wei smiled: "It's right to enter the tiger's mouth, but I guess Hong Dizhen, the tiger, is now staring at other ships!" But we're just right under his nose! He didn't expect it! However, in addition to careful planning, this matter must also add twelve points of courage and twelve points of luck! I don't know if Brother Wang dares to go, but he doesn't dare to go? ”

Dongmen Qing was also surprised at first when he heard this idea, but after thinking about it, he felt that this trick was both dangerous and wonderful! After all, he is the son of a tyrant in Quanzhou, but he is tender, but not soft, and he has a kind of adventurous spirit in his bones, so he straightened his chest and said: "Going to sea is a matter of life and death!" I'll go! ”

Wu Chuan Huang Long saw that he had such courage, and he secretly admired it in his heart, and Zhang Wei arranged it immediately. They first took a look at the gold and silver that Dongmen Qing took from Hong Ditong, and all the gold and silver were melted and disposed of as loose gold and silver, and some of the eye-catching and marked ones were buried. Zhang Wei asked Huang Long to find a way to purchase the goods, and asked Wu Chuan to tell Dongmen Qing all kinds of sea taboos, and he personally went to contact the shipping space, and came back in the evening to tell Dongmen Qing: Hong Dizhen will leave the ship in seven days, so that he can get ready.

During this time, Dongmenqing stayed in the place arranged by Zhang Wei, and Wuchuan Huang Long told him about the rules and taboos of the sea - in fact, Dongmenqing's father and brother had also told him similar things, but the situation was different at that time, and the angle of looking at the problem was very different. If Dongmen Qing is on the ship as the fourth son of the Dongmen family, it is the agent role of the Dongmen family, and even if he gets on the boat, he is bound to hug and command; But now he is just a small trader, and when he gets to the ship, he has to do everything himself, and if anything happens, he has to solve it himself, and no one can help him.

Shipping in this era was different from that of later generations, and it was not a matter of buying a ticket to get on the ship and waiting to dock. In general, there is no clear line between petty traders involved in smuggling and sailors. The peddler was both a merchant and a sailor, and when he arrived at the ship, he had to obey the instructions of the steward. Sailors will also do business with the fleet, especially all kinds of skilled and positional shipwrights, and the shipowner will not pay them directly when they are hired, but will allocate a certain amount of space to them as compensation. Therefore, if Dongmen Qing can successfully board Hong Dizhen's ship, he will have to be used as half a sailor after getting on the ship.

On the fifth day, Zhang Wei brought a businessman named Liang Fang to introduce him to Dongmenqing. He told Liang Fang that Dongmenqing was a cousin of his wife, and he wanted to go to sea to study and do business, so he asked Liang Fang to take care of him.

Liang Fang doesn't care if Dongmen Qing is Zhang Wei's wife's cousin. In this era, although it is dangerous to go to sea, the high profit is also proportional to the danger, and all kinds of people from the three religions and nine streams in the southeast are looking for a way to go to sea to pan for gold, so even if a person who has nothing to do with Zhang Wei asks Zhang Wei to find a way to go to sea, Liang Fang is not surprised at all. However, he looked at Dongmen Qing's appearance, but shook his head and said, "Brother, your wife and cousin can't do it!" It's so tender! I'm afraid he'll die on the ship before he arrives! I can't afford to take this risk, don't look for me! ”

In the past few days, Dongmenqing has been exposed to the sun under the leadership of Wu Chuan, and has already tanned his skin a lot, and he has followed Huang Long's advice not to shave, leaving a face full of scum, and his behavior is also a little rude. But after all, young is young, after all, a gentleman is a gentleman, no matter how hard Dongmenqing learns and changes, he can't wipe out the breath of the children of the past in just a few days, so when he was glanced at by the old and spicy people, he knew that he was a junior brother at sea!

Zhang Wei saw that Liang Fang was leaving, so he hurriedly stopped and said, "Old Liang! I won't hide it from you, this cousin of mine is going to sea for the first time! But if it's not your first time at sea, why bother taking care of it? ”

Liang was embarrassed and said, "But ......"

Dongmen Qing raised his head and said, "Uncle Liang! If you won't help, then I won't bother! But if you are willing to help, my little nephew, I will never forget this kindness. After getting on the boat, I don't need Uncle Liang to take any responsibility, but I just ask Uncle Liang to give me some guidance if I don't understand. If I am a short-lived species and die in the storm, it is none of Uncle's business, just ask Uncle to bring back half of my goods to my cousin-in-law, and ask Uncle to deal with the other half! ”

Liang Fang smiled when he heard his words, and said, "It's a little tender, but it's not bad!" Well, well, for your sake, I'll let you follow. ”

——————

Donghai Tu fell to ninth on the new book list. Before the book was issued, both Maruko and the old wolf expected me to be their opponent, but now it seems that I have lived up to their expectations, and the data in front of me is too far away from them, and it is even more embarrassing than the old C who sent the book on the same day as me. In the last two days, the collection has increased slowly, and there are fewer clicks on flowers, so I am ready to hit the streets.

In fact, I will continue to write no matter what the data is, and I never intend to change my original thinking because of the data. The characters and stories will develop according to the original track - I never felt that writing a novel could be "made up", sometimes I felt that the story I was going to write was there, and I was just responsible for recording it. I don't have the authority to tamper with it.

But if the data is too much, it will make me feel sorry for Fat Blood, he bought out this book, and he is helping me bear the pressure. I'm still relying on instinct to code words.,It doesn't seem that the talent has the characteristics of making a trend and soaring popularity.,Now I just hope that the data of this book won't make Fat Blood too difficult to do.。

I don't know why, but this morning my mood was surprisingly calm, no longer the impetuousness of the previous two days. The sky in Guangzhou is also comfortably sunny, and it is no longer rainy from the previous few days. I hope that the rain will not fall again, and it will be difficult for the troubled Wuzi year to endure another catastrophic flood. This sunshine gives me hope, and I hope that this hope will become a reality.

(Because it's a free chapter, I'm verbose with feelings, so don't mind.) )
