Chapter 112 Hidden Murder
(Traveled to Hunan, mobile phone typing, to the hotel to update, sorry, broken for a day, now delivered)
When the boat entered the Hongze Lake, it was already dark, Huanxituo was on the boat gang and looked into the distance, only to see the shadowy reeds swinging into pieces of endless sight, the waterway between the winding was scattered into an extremely complex large net, occasionally the waves crashed on the shore and the sound of water birds chirping, between heaven and earth was like a wild and vast water world, boundless, in the meantime, there was an indescribable sense of depression and insignificance in the heart, and for a while it was infinite. It was the monkey's voice that broke the silence: "Brother Tuo, the difficult officials and soldiers have no tricks to take the fish gang, this ghost place, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, there is no trace to be found."
Wang Fugui didn't know when he walked out of the cabin, and just heard the monkey's emotion, so he interjected: "Hongze Lake said that the country is too small, I grew up here, and the waterways that I have run all over so far are only five or six out of ten, here is connected to the Jingxiang Yangtze River in the north, and Xiangshui is connected to the south in the south. That's why we have let the Fish Gang live happily for many generations in this realm where there is no king's law. In the Ming Dynasty, Chen Youliang relied on the children of the fisherman's family, and entrenched in the treasure land of Hongze, which God rewarded, before opening a film with Emperor Zhu, but unfortunately, he was defeated in the end, and the old generation said that it was because Emperor Zhu was the life of the soil, and he just overcame Chen Youliang's water life. Otherwise, we fish gang these bitter haha's people may all become relatives of the royal family. ”
Huanxituo said with a smile: "Boss Wang, in my opinion, the door is closed in the blessed land of Hongze Lake, and the sky does not care about it, how carefree it is, it is the same as being an emperor, why bother to earn the world, and in the end he lost his life, and he clenched his fists with both hands, which is not worth it."
Wang Fugui sighed and said: "Brother Tuo, you don't know something, there will be a benefit and a harm, this Hongze Lake is a big labyrinth, enough to accommodate a group of brothers and family members, but we don't lack anything except fish and shrimp, water chestnut, and everything else." Although there are many of these desert islands, the water rises and recedes all year round, and there are no crops at all, salt and iron will not fall from the sky, and there is nowhere to take soil even from a brick kiln, so this should be used and utensils, all have to be transported in from outside, this Hongze Lake is full of obstacles, and the waterway is far away and it has become a bad thing, and there is no businessman who will come in, so we have no way to do it, only rob in the waterway of the Yangtze River, but where you can make a bunch of old snacks salt, buy medicine, use an iron pot to burn the fire, and live in a brick house, Bastards are the ones who do these green forest trades. ”
Huanxituo only completely figured out why Simao wanted to negotiate with Wang Fugui by going north and south and joining forces to do merchant ship trading, and it was a matter of talking, and he actually survived in a desperate situation, so that a robbed bandit put down his butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the spot. It's not that he has the ability to bloom lotus flowers, but he knows the details and predicament of the fish gang well, which is obviously not something that can be filmed by temporarily patting his head, so there is only one possibility, Simao obviously did his homework before coming to Hongze Lake, which is really called being prepared.
Thinking of this, Huanxituo's vigilance in his heart immediately became highly tense, and the words that Simao had told him before leaving were still in his ears, so he deliberately asked tentatively: "Boss Wang, do the brothers of the Fish Gang know that we are back?"
Wang Fugui squinted a pair of eyes, looked around, and said in his mouth: "One more stick of incense, there will be the first sentry boat ambush, pockmarks, pockmarks..... Wang Fugui shouted to his subordinates.
Mazi got out of the cabin, looked at the waterway in front of him, and didn't ask Wang Fugui, he skillfully took out three drill monkeys from his arms, and lit them one by one at an interval of a while, and the drill monkeys flew into the sky with a sharp whistling sound, which was very crisp on the silent lake, and the sound was heard for several miles.
As the boat progressed, Huanxituo found that it was like the sound of five or six clippers coming out of the water, and more than a dozen sturdy junior students were cruising out of the reeds with various weapons in their hands, which was obviously the sentinel boat that Wang Fugui said.
"Brother Fugui, are you back?" A knife-faced man at the head of the sentry boat put on a smile on his face and talked to Wang Fugui.
Wang Fugui frowned imperceptibly: "Didn't you set up a card in Dongtou?" Why did they whistle with the fat head? ”
Dao Tiao's face was still smiling: "Brother Fugui doesn't know yet, the fat man said that the trawl net under his east head caught the big catfish of Chengjing, and he was dead and heavy, and others were afraid of breaking the net, so he wanted to personally take his brothers to set up the net, and he just changed the whistle with me this morning."
Wang Fugui snorted: "You send someone to rush back to report the news first, there are distinguished guests coming, let the guests prepare wine and food.....
Huanxituo quietly pulled Wang Fugui at the right time, and said in a low voice: "Qiaozubai drank too much yesterday, and several of my brothers are also hangover, this crooked appearance on the island makes the brothers of the Fish Gang laugh, you go to busy your first, anyway, we are guarding to unload, when your business is done, the goods are unloaded, and the brothers should wake up when they are almost gone, we will get off the boat to find you, and Qiaozuibai will just show us the way when the time comes."
Wang Fugui pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "It's okay, you can stay on the boat, when the matter is done, I will send someone to call you." As he spoke, he said to the surprised Dao Tiaolian on the opposite boat: "Take your brothers to the island with us, and unload the cargo on the ship." ”
Under the leadership of the sentinel boat, the reeds seemed to have eyes, and every time they reached the end of the road, there was a time when the willows and flowers were bright and another village, Huanxituo's eyes widened, and he stared all the way, hoping to memorize the road, but unfortunately in the end he found that everything was in vain, these reeds were the same, and there was no reference, just in the grass hole that was higher than a person's head, and when he reached his destination, his mind was still a mess of paste.
After Wang Fugui left, the knife face was left, and he took his men to the shore to unload the goods, just now I saw Wang Fugui's face full of smiles, but at this moment it was really like a knife, if it wasn't for the flattery he saw with his own eyes just now, Huanxituo really couldn't believe that the same person could have such a changeable face.
"You hold a shelf, Lao Tzu is too lazy to take care of you." Huanxituo thought like this in his heart, while swaying and pacing into the cabin, just flashed into his figure, a hand grabbed him from the dark, and whispered "shhh", Huanxituo swallowed a curse sentence on his lips alive, only to see Junzi pointed to the window in the cabin with a slightly open gap with a solemn expression: "Brother Tuo, it's not right, their ship stopped strangely, and the expression is not quite right." ”
Huanxituo looked at Shunzi, didn't speak, leaned close to the window, and saw that outside the sentry boat that followed the knife face, there were more than a dozen clippers, the way of berthing was very strange, it looked like it was messy, but in fact it formed a semicircular encirclement, and the two boats that he brought were surrounded on the dock, and the men on these boats sat or stood, seemingly chatting and gossiping, but one by one, their eyes seemed to glance at their side, and they immediately dodged after passing by. Huanxituo is a long-tested old man in the rivers and lakes, he didn't say a word, and whispered to Shunzi: "Go to the bow of the boat and bring a bucket of water." ”
"What are you carrying water for?" Junko asked in surprise.
"Go, it's useful." Huanxituo's words were concise and to the point, although Junzi was puzzled, but he had always respected Huanxituo, and muttered out of the cabin.
