238 Waterways

The asking price of the black boat that does business for the families of smuggling officials is really very high, and the boatman is only counted according to the head, 200 taels each.

And it is very clear, if it is too expensive, get out, and never negotiate.

Ah Zhi's companions include the two-room family of the close-fitting maid, the red sleeves and the red fragrance, a total of eleven people, and then plus Zhang's mother and the red shadow, adding up to thirteen people.

On Chi Fei's side, there are Zhang Xiao'e, Da Niu and Lan Qing.

All of them add up to sixteen people.

In other words, if you want all the people to get on the ship together, you need to give the boatman 3,200 taels.

At this price, you can already buy a house or a bunk in the civilian area of the capital, which is indeed not ordinarily expensive.

But now is a matter of life and death, not the time to calculate the price, so Zhang's mother paid with a silver ticket very happily.

The boatman, a black-faced man in his forties, ordered his men to sail offshore as soon as he counted the silver tickets.

All of them are head-killing businesses with their heads tied to their waists, and every extra moment they spend on the shore is more dangerous, so they will leave as soon as they receive the money and never stay.

Because each person transported could earn two hundred taels of silver, the boatman not only did the business of the Red Shadows, but also the business of other people.

As long as the ship can be loaded, it will basically accept as many people as there are, and it will never be too many guests.

Sitting on the same boat as them were two other guests, and the man with the scar on his face stared at Zhang's mother for a moment in disgust, then turned his head and whispered to his companion.

Zhang's mother found that although the two men were chatting, they would still look at them from time to time.

Mother Zhang felt that these two men were not like good people, and her heart suddenly tightened.

What she was afraid of was not what the two of them wanted to do, but that the other party was ambushed.

However, she also has something to rely on, as long as the sons of Zhenguo Gong's family are men, they all learn martial arts since childhood. As long as the family members of Red Sleeves and Red Fragrance are men, they will do a few kung fu.

Although these sons are still far from the veterans who crawled out of the pile of dead on the battlefield, ordinary villains can still cope with it.

Moreover, the two women, Hongying and Zhang Xiao'e, are also martial arts practitioners, and if something really happens, they can protect the female dependents in the team, so that the men can let go of the gangsters.

Just when Zhang's mother was about to quietly inform Hongying to be careful of the two men, Hongying walked up to the two men silently and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to make zongzi or fish for blue crabs?" ā€

As soon as the two men heard this black words, they knew that the woman in front of them was a person from the rivers and lakes, and they couldn't help but show a look of surprise in their eyes. They didn't expect that there would be Jianghu people among the "zongzi".

Because they didn't know the details of the red shadow, the two looked at each other for a moment, and then the scar man asked, "Which way is my friend?" In the mountains or in the water? ā€

Hongying said coldly: "I don't go to the mountains or the water, I specialize in picking scoops." ā€

The faces of the two men suddenly changed, and they immediately took dicks out of their bodies.

However, they were still a step too late, and the red shadow's right hand swung in front of them as fast as lightning, and with a flash of cold light, a deep hole in the scarred man's throat instantly opened, and blood immediately spurted out.

After eliminating one of them in an instant, the dagger in Red Shadow's hand went castrated and rested on the neck of the other man.

All this happened in a flash of light, so fast that people couldn't react at all.

At this moment, not only the man was frightened, but Zhang's mother and Zhang Xiao'e were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

They didn't expect Red Shadow to make a sudden move, and as soon as he did, he killed a person, and also subdued another man by the way.

"Friends are merciful, everyone is Lao Hai, and there is something to say." Feeling the cold touch of the dagger around his neck, the man's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't even dare to move. The short knife that was originally in his hand was immediately thrown on the board of the ship with a soft clatter.

It was only then that his companion, Scar Man, covered his neck and fell to the ground with an incomparably terrifying look.

Blood still kept spurting from the wound in his throat, staining the planks red.

"I ask you, how many people are on the shore?" Red Shadow asked coldly.

"There are ten people in total, and the two of us are just responsible for pathfinding. Please be merciful to my friends and let me go. "That man has become a fish on the chopping board at this time, where dare he hide the slightest. I was afraid that this murderous and unblinking female evil star would be slightly dissatisfied, so she beckoned him with a knife to his neck.

"You specialize in making zongzi for a living?"

"Yes, haven't there been a lot of officials who want to send their families away lately? Our old scoop saw that these zongzi were all fat sheep, so he started this business. ā€

"Who's your old scoop?"

"Black Dog Two."

"Are there any masters among those people?"

"Our old scoop is a good player with double sticks, and none of us can beat him."

"Where are you going to harvest the dumplings?"

"There's a bamboo forest on the shore, and that's where we usually start.

Friend, that's all I know, please let me live, I promise to wash my hands and be a good person in the future. ā€

"You really should be a good person, so start from the next life." After saying that, Red Shadow directly slit his throat with a dagger, and then kicked him down on the board.

The man, like his companion, clutched his neck in horror, trying to call for help but could not make a sound, and soon died.

After dealing with the two spies, Red Shadow said to the black-faced boatman, "I'm sorry to stain your ship. ā€

"Give me a hundred taels of silver, and the matter will be settled." The boatman replied coldly.

"Yes." Red Shadow took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from his body and handed them to him.

After taking the silver ticket, the boatman waved his hand and asked the two shipwrights on the ship to dispose of the body.

The two boatmen walked calmly to the corpse, and then skillfully tied a large stone to each of them.

After tying it up, they first picked up the body of the scar man together, and then threw the body directly into the water along with the stones.

With a muffled thud, the body of the scar man was dragged into the water by the boulder and disappeared. Then the body of another man was also thrown into the water like this.

As long as the corpse was tied to the stone, it would not float up, and naturally no one would find out that there had ever been a dead person here, and they had long been used to doing this kind of thing.

On the other side, when Hongying returned to Zhang's mother and them, everyone's eyes had changed when they looked at her, as if they knew her for the first time.

Especially Red Sleeves and Red Fragrance, the two of them were even more dumbfounded. Although they know the martial arts of the Red Shadow Society, they are also relatively cold.

But I didn't expect her to kill people so decisively, without even blinking her eyes, it was like chopping vegetables.

Zhang Xiao'e, Da Niu and Lan Qing were also stunned, they didn't expect things to happen so suddenly.

However, they don't think that there is anything wrong with the red shadow, after all, the other party is originally a person who wants to make money and kill people, and he is innocent of death. If these villains are really allowed to succeed, then the fate of these people will become the same as them, and it may even be worse than death.

Although Mother Zhang was also very surprised, after all, she had seen a big scene, so she quickly regained her composure and asked Hongying, "Since there is an ambush on the shore, what are you going to do?" ā€

Hongying said lightly: "It's just a dozen people, it's not difficult to deal with." Wait a minute, don't get off the boat yet, and then you can get off the boat after I and a few men have settled the people.

Listen up, you guys, wait a minute, everything will be under my command. When it's time to fight, you're in charge of dealing with those minions, and I'll take care of their boss. Did you hear me clearly? ā€

"Yes."

Red Sleeves and Red Incense, their brothers and father, immediately responded in unison.

After seeing the amazing skills of the Red Shadow, they all developed a deep awe for this decisive woman.

"Can you, can you go with me?" Da Niu felt that since he was also a man, he should follow along.

Red Shadow looked at him and asked, "Do you dare to kill?" Use a knife to stab a living person until the other person is out of breath. ā€

"I-I'll try......" stammered.

"Okay, don't blame me for just dying."

"I—I know."

"Sister Hongying, I'm going with you too." Zhang Xiao'e couldn't help but speak.

"You can't go, you have to stay on the boat to protect Zhang's mother and a few of them."

Zhang Xiao'e didn't say anything.

In the tense atmosphere of everyone, the ship slowly docked.

After the boat stopped, Red Shadow jumped out of the boat first, followed by several other men, including Da Niu.

Under the leadership of Red Shadow, the seven soldiers divided into two roads, one in the light and the other in the dark, and walked together towards the bamboo forest in front.

After they left, several women on the boat stood nervously on the boat.

The boatman who had nothing to do sat on the bow of the boat and smoked a shisha slowly.

Looking at the nervous women, the black-faced man smiled silently.

It seems that they don't know the details of the woman at all, otherwise they wouldn't be so nervous.

That woman is not an ordinary person, and the name of the number one killer in the rivers and lakes back then was not called for nothing.

She is said to be good at using a fast sword, but almost no one has ever seen her strike, as most of the people who have seen her strike have died.

As long as it was the person she wanted to kill, none of them could escape.

Later, I heard that she died under the siege of others, and I have never heard of her in the rivers and lakes since.

He also thought she was dead, but he didn't expect that she had been hiding in the mansion of a rich and noble family as a subordinate.

……………………

As the boatman expected, it didn't take long for the Red Shadow and them to return.

However, with the exception of the red shadow, almost every man has more or less color on his body.

Even the big bull injured his right hand, and it is said that he accidentally fell and injured himself when he was fighting with the gangsters.

At this time, including Da Niu, almost every man's eyes were full of awe and admiration when they looked at the red shadow.

When they fought the gangsters, they found that they were all experienced outlaws. The shot is ruthless, and the move is deadly.

If it's one-on-one, they really aren't the opponents of these charlatans.

However, among the ten villains, six of them were dealt with by Red Shadow himself.

And each one of them is sealed with a knife, which is so clean and neat that it makes people feel creepy.

All of them are now extremely glad that they haven't offended the red shadow on weekdays, otherwise how could there be life, this woman is really terrible!
