Chapter Ninety-Seven: Darkness

In Taipingzhou, there are many merchant ships on the riverside, and several of them are flying the banner of the Banzai Battalion, which is particularly eye-catching.

On the bow of the boat sat the three Yang Tong brothers, looking at the vast river, Lu Taixuan smiled and said: "Big brother, when we walked here, we didn't dare to go blatantly during the day. It had to be the dead of night, and he still had to hold the unsheathed knife in his hand, and the river wind was like a blade blowing on his face. In the end, Lin'er is still promising, and now we are swaggering away, and we have to give way to any boat when we see it. ”

Even when he talked about his most proud son, Yang Tong's face did not have the slightest joy, he stood up, expanded his chest, and exhaled a breath of turbidity: "In front of it is the White Frost Ferry, in order to grab this line with the Black Harrier, the sixth child died here." ”

Lu Taixuan's expression darkened, and he asked in a deep voice: "Big brother, when the sixth child died in your arms, our brother has been wanting to ask for so many years, what did he tell you before he died?" ”

A trace of sadness appeared on Yang Tong's face, Jiang Feng that day was the same as today, the sixth child was lying in his arms with blood on his face.

With moisture in his eyes, Yang Tong closed his eyes and said lightly: "The sixth said that Miss Cui'er in Wujiang County still owes twenty taels of overnight fees, let me pay it back to him." ”

The man next to the mast was hoisting his sails, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Sixth brother is a decent person, and his last words are so different. ”

Lu Taixuan and Lei Dong looked at each other and smiled, after so many years, the eldest brother finally took the initiative to talk about this matter, no matter how heavy the past is, there must be a day to let go.

The curtain of the cabin was lifted, and a thin little girl came out with a few cups, looking at Yang Tong and smiling sweetly: "Grandpa, fourth grandpa, fifth grandpa, drink a cup of tea to warm up." ”

These days, Yang Tong took Yang Tianai to go into business, taught him decades of experience, taught him as a little apprentice, and could also enjoy the joy of family.

Lu Taixuan picked up the tea and deliberately laughed: "Alas, big brother, you miscalculated this time, Xiao Tianai learned from you, but it can't be used in your Yang family in the future." Once married, I don't know which kid is cheaper. ”

Yang Tianai hurriedly defended: "Ai'er has been in the Yang family all her life. ”

Yang Tong touched her little head lovingly and said, "That's right, when you are a little older, I will make the decision to let Lin'er accept you." ”

Lu Taixuan coaxed on the side: "It's messy, it's all messy." ”

Yang Tianai's face flushed, and he lowered his head and said, "Grandpa's words can be counted..."

"Haha"

With a thud, a chain across the river blocked the way, nearly overturning the boat.

Yang Tong held Yang Tianai in his arms, stood at the bow of the boat and stood still, Lu Taixuan stretched his hands to his waist, and Lei Dong held his hands down.

A big black ship approached, and a few frivolous officials in the bow of the ship, dressed in black robes, carried a few simple knives on their shoulders and said loudly: "The people in front, open the hatch, put on the deck, and the old men will check." ”

Lei Dong said with a smile: "The good teacher learned that this ship is the ship of the Banzai Battalion, and it is going to be transported to Bianliang. ”

Lu Taixuan said in a low voice: "Big brother, these are Zhu Mian's dogs, most of them are mischievous idlers recruited by him, who are black-hearted and have no knowledge, so I am afraid that they will have to go on the ship to search.... Our ship is full of private salt. ”

Sure enough, the people on the opposite boat scolded: "What bullshit long live camp, hurry up and open the cabin, otherwise we will set it on fire." ”

Yang Tonglang laughed: "The errand of the Long Live Camp is to transport the Huashi Gang to His Majesty, and it is usually exempt from inspection. ”

The splashes on the other side, who have just put on their official clothes for less than ten days, are all masters who have nothing to do.

These people have been despised for a long time, and once they gain power, they often get even more carried away, especially the rich gentry who did not look at them in the past, and their families have been ruined by them, and this pleasure makes these gangsters flutter.

The one at the head is called Cao Ning, and these days, in the name of sweeping away the cult, he has led people straight into the mansions of wealthy merchants, extorted money, raped and humiliated their daughters, and embezzled land. Of course, most of these belongings belonged to Zhu Mian, but they enjoyed the process very much.

The Liangzhejiang Road is now in dire straits, and Li Yan and Zhu Mian are taking advantage of Manichaeism to loot and persecute good people, and these people are their minions.

Seeing that the ship on the opposite side dared to resist, a few thugs licked their lips, set up a wooden plank and rushed over.

On Yang Tong's side, everyone bent slightly, their legs were sinking like water, different from the gangsters opposite, this was a group of real fighting men, just because of the infighting of selling salt over the years, I don't know how many times I have experienced it.

Yang Tong took a deep breath, the contents of the cabin must not be exposed, otherwise he may be punished for the crime of bullying the king.

A strip of cloth died from his clothes, and Yang Tong smiled: "Heavenly love, blindfold your eyes." ”

Yang Tianai nodded sensibly, blindfolded, and Yang Tong held her in his arms.

Lei Dong glanced back, Yang Tong nodded, and when the leader came over, he held the knife and scolded.

Leng Buding didn't guard against Lei Dong's punch, which hit his throat, this gangster who had just put on his official uniform, his eyes burst out, his mouth spat blood, and his neck made a clicking sound, and he couldn't stand the ground, and he couldn't survive.

All the black-robed dukes were stunned in place, and the salt sellers here had already drawn their knives in their hands, stepped forward to chop, and the knives seemed to have eyes, stabbing and slashing at the place where they were killed.

The ship's board was suddenly full of fishy anger, and more than a dozen people died almost instantly.

Then Yang Tong's subordinates silently stepped forward to clean up the corpses and flush the deck, these people were silent and skillful... It's scary.

Lu Taixuan wiped the blade, reinserted the scabbard, and asked, "Big brother, where are you going?" ”

"Go back to Ninghai County, go to Song Jiang to hide, and then send someone to tell Lin'er that we will listen to him."
