Half an hour after sunset, Xia Zhongyong came back in the dark.

The stakes are very high, Zhang Zhen did not return to the industrial park, he has been waiting patiently, and when he comes back, he returned to the industrial park, brought the stir-fried vegetables prepared by Yingying, and of course the wine, and said, "Let's talk about it after eating," and the four of them pushed the cup and changed the cup like a family.

Hearing that it was fried by his daughter, Xia Zhongyong ate it so fragrant that he almost licked the plate clean, and the wine was even more half-drunk, and Liu couldn't help but take a drink.

Full of wine and food, Xia Zhongyong told what he saw on the dock.

Because of the incident of the dragon god leaving the Yellow River and entering Nanyang Lake, without waiting for the news of the court, how could any boat dare to cross Nanyang Lake, even the royal big yellow boat and the small yellow boat would not dare, let alone the official boat rice boat, and the boat was gathering more and more.

Xia Zhongyong went around Nanyang Town for a week, saw the four major wharves and commercial ports, and identified one royal big yellow boat, three small yellow boats, two official ships, and other yellow boats and official ships, which were rice boats and wine boats.

Of course, there were six warships patrolling, and Xia Zhongyong deliberately said the location, and after saying all of them, Xia Zhongyong asked: "Lord, when I came, all the people on the boat went to the town to have fun, and there were few guards on the ship at all, or we would rob the ship easily?" ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "I don't know if Chongzhen will come to Nanyang to sacrifice the lake, I still want to see what the emperor looks like, what if the boat is robbed and he is so scared that he doesn't come?" We don't lack silver, just rob people! ”

Zhang Zhen set the tone, several people discussed again, and agreed to start tomorrow night, Zhang Zhen went back to the industrial park to prepare tools, and the three of them also lived in this big house.

Finger-thick chains, for ordinary people, once they are chained, it will be a lifetime of bondage, is that a thing for themselves? There are many ways to truncate casually, and the difference is only in the speed and slowness.

Hacksaw, gas cutting, wringing pliers, Zhang Zhen tried in turn, although the winch pliers are the most laborious, to make a hard effort, fortunately it is the fastest, think about the strength of Zhang Huanghe and Xia Zhongyong, Zhang Zhen decisively chose the winch pliers.

After inflating those hovercraft, and preparing mechanical crossbows, daggers, small flashlights, strong flashlights, etc., Zhang Zhen took a bath, hugged Xia Yingying and went to sleep.

——————————

Early the next morning, after waiting for the tenants to have breakfast, after a brief look, Zhang Zhen called a few men and asked them to push the wheelbarrow that the village woman who helped the workers took the initiative to push, and the group went back to Nanyang Town.

Soon bought rice noodles, escorted back by Liu, and Zhang Zhen and the three of them walked around the street.

After half a day and a night of circulation, Zhang Zhen's cooking in Wanghu Village is already well known in Nanyang Town.

Half a catty of white steamed buns, the most one ate thirteen, and the one who ate more than ten was eight heroes!

Tube full is indeed full, the key is to manage rice? This is clearly eating silver!

People always talk about rare things, but fortunately they don't add oil and vinegar like making a dragon.

And the consequences are also obvious, as long as Zhang Zhen appears, let alone turn back, people can't leave, just watch in place or find someone nearby to discuss, and even many people take the initiative to come up to say hello.

These people didn't know any of them, Zhang Zhen, and at first people called them 'Zhang Yuanwai!' ''Shopkeeper! ''Master Zhang! At that time, Zhang Zhen nodded politely in return, and said a few words pleasing to the eye.

A few in a row, as long as Zhang Zhen responds, those people keep talking like chatterbox, complimenting those who probe the bottom and climb the friendship, Zhang Zhen is also annoyed, and then there are those who shout, except for those who look like coolies and honest people, they don't respond.

Zhang Zhen also went to the hexagram stall to ask a hexagram, selected an auspicious day for the zodiac to open, purchased a few pieces of furniture, and drank tea, and the day passed.

At night, the three of them quietly went out, walked the alley to the canal, Zhang Zhen dragged out the rubber boat, Zhang Huanghe and Xia Zhongyong rowed carefully and quietly forward.

There are two phenomena that have helped Zhang Zhen, the first is the good habit of the people of the Ming Dynasty, they go home as soon as it gets dark, and there is not even a ghost in the alley, so they don't have to be afraid of being seen.

The second is the ancient strict level, on the Xibu wharf that is several miles long, hundreds of boats are crowded at both ends of the wharf, and the cable can only be tied to the ship closer to the dock, and those few large and small yellow boats, plus two official mansion ships, seven boats occupy more than 300 meters of the wharf, each of which is more than 10 meters away.

That's a privilege! But the good thing is that it was already dark, and the boat was more than 20 meters long, Zhang Zhen parked the rubber boat in the shadows, even if the moon came out, he would not be discovered.

Make the hook lock hook on the side of the ship, Xia Zhongyong took the dagger in his mouth, and climbed on the side of the boat within two clicks, and looked at it, under the light of the two lanterns on the boat, where half a figure stepped forward and turned in, beckoning down, Zhang Huanghe also followed Xia Zhongyong's example.

Climbing onto the boat, Zhang Zhen casually took out a mechanical crossbow, made a gesture, and the three of them touched into the cabin.

The cabin was like a hut, and there were three people drinking in it, two in armor with their backs to the door, and the one on top was white, beardless, and very white in the light of the candlelight.

The two soldiers were already half drunk, and suddenly saw that the father-in-law's eyes were wide open, and his face was frightened, and before his brain turned a corner, he felt that his mouth was vigorously covered by someone and his head was also pushed from behind, and his throat hurt, and most of his neck was cut open by a dagger, and he saw that he could not live.

'Whoosh! At the same time, Zhang Zhen shot a crossbow, hitting the white-faced man's eyebrows, and this person's body fell to the ground crookedly, and he couldn't die anymore.

With a heart or not, he succeeded smoothly, Xia Zhongyong listened and saw that there was no movement, so he went up and pulled out the crossbow arrow, Zhang Zhen looked at the corpse, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Look at this dress, it won't be a eunuch, right?" ”

Xia Zhongyong whispered: "Lord, this guy doesn't have a beard, and I also feel that he is a eunuch!" ”

Zhang Huanghe said with a smile: "If you take off your pants for inspection, you won't know." ”

"Don't! Bad luck! Zhang Zhen hurriedly stopped, and it was disgusting to think about it! Busy said: "It's important to get down to business!" ”

Zhang Huanghe unwillingly glanced at the crotch, and then went to search for any living mouths.

There are four rooms on the second floor, except for the one that came in, the two rooms in front, and the first room in which there were four large boxes with two seals on which were written, 'Seal!' ''Seal! ’。

Xia Zhongyong pushed the weight hard, and said in surprise: "Lord, this is the tax silver of the annual tribute!" I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of taels of silver in the four big boxes! ”

Zhang Zhen smiled when he heard this: "I'm angry again!" We don't lack silver! ”

"What if it's gold?" Zhang Huanghe interfaced.

This has to be guarded against, in case it is a boatload of gold, and it is missed, even if he becomes the emperor, Zhang Zhen will regret it for the rest of his life.

Of course, he was also tempted by silver, but with the industrial park as the foundation, it was easy to exchange things for silver from it, and he was not very rare in silver.

With trembling hands, the seal was opened, and the three of them looked at it, and the white snowflakes were silver, and they were immediately disappointed at a glance.

Zhang Zhen was disappointed that it was silver.

Xia Zhongyong and the others were disappointed, this is silver! Looking at the face of the lord, it must not be uncommon, and it can only be cheaper Chongzhen.

"Bah, Bah, Bah!!" Zhang Zhen spat a few mouthfuls of saliva and reattached the seal, and the three of them continued to search, and there was really no living mouth on this layer.

At the stern of the ship, next to the chase shop that looked like soldiers, Zhang Zhen put away the mechanical crossbow, endured the pungent smell and shone it with a pocket flashlight, only to see that in the darkness, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him.

Just a simple photo, Zhang Zhen saw a big copper ring at each person's feet, an iron chain passed through the copper ring and the shackles on their feet, and the range of movement of each person was estimated to be less than one meter, plus the scars that the wisps of clothes could not hide, it seemed that they were Tanren.

Each pair of eyes looked directly at themselves, and they didn't seem to have any emotion, only a blank look.

Is this The Walking Dead?

Are they really alive?

What kind of torture and despair can have such eyes, which makes Zhang Zhen unbearable and at the same time has an impulse, the urge to kill!

Handing over the pocket flashlight to Xia Zhongyong, who was close behind, Zhang Zhen casually took out the winch pliers and stepped into the bilge.

Under the resentment, he forgot that he wanted two of his subordinates to contribute, Zhang Zhen cut off the shackles one by one, because the foundation of the bones of this body was not good, and it was okay at first, and the iron chain in a pair of shackles could be cut in three or two clicks, and in the last few people, a chain often took more than ten strokes.

From the beginning to the end, except for Zhang Zhen's increasingly heavy breathing due to exertion, no one made a sound.
