As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone on the ship changed greatly, among them, the face of the owner Lao Zhang became particularly wonderful, first surprised, then stunned, and finally showed a look of understanding. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Being able to own a boat of his own in the canal and bring a lot of brothers to make money together, Lao Zhang is naturally not a stupid person. In fact, not only is he not stupid, but his mind is also very flexible, after Gao Changlin said this, the previous mystery was quickly solved, and everything was very reasonable.

Although the Cao Gang is in decline, the prestige and momentum it has built up over the years are still there, and it is not something that some water bandits and thieves on the canal dare to offend easily. And there is obviously the Cao Gang flag on his ship, coupled with the escort of the Cao Gang on the ship, if the ordinary thieves were not aware of it at first, they would have already given up this robbery and fled after discovering such a situation.

Only by helping himself will he ignore all this and act blatantly!

After thinking about this, Lao Zhang had some other questions, why did the Cao Gang do this? Are these official salts really that valuable? Also, the identity of the boss next to me is just unusual, right?

The thieves trembled, and although they were still wearing masks on their faces, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes. Obviously, they were a little flustered after being revealed.

"Up! Slaughter them! "But things have come to this point, and they have no way out but to kill all the people in front of them. So the leader decisively waved his hand, and rushed forward with his sword in hand.

Several other thieves also came back to their senses in time, shouted a few lowly, and killed them with all their might.

Several of the entourages brought by Gao Changlin hurriedly greeted them, although they were at a disadvantage in numbers, they were not afraid at all, but instead attacked and defended, and directly attacked the vital points of those black-clothed thieves.

It was just that the two sides had just met each other, but the leader of the thieves suddenly let out a low shout, and the body that rushed forward suddenly squatted together, and he jumped into the air before the weapons of the three attendants were handed to him, and then accelerated forward in the air, and swept over their heads in one fell swoop.

When he found out that the three companions were all good at martial arts and were not too easy to deal with, he started to have other thoughts. And when Gao Changlin revealed their identities with one word, so that they had no room to turn around, he made a complete decision - capture the thief and capture the king first. As long as this salt merchant is taken down, there is still something to be done!

Relying on his fairly good martial arts and sudden change of moves, this leader really flew over the heads of the three companions, and the knife in his hand slashed through an arc, slashing straight at Gao Changlin's shoulder. He could even think of what was going to happen next, after he had taken this obviously their leader hostage, he could force these retinues to jump into the water, so that the ship would eventually be taken by a few of his own.

It's a pity that his wishful thinking just started and it didn't sound. Because when his knife slashed towards Gao Changlin, Gao Changlin, who seemed to be just an ordinary businessman, jumped to the side like a spirit fox, making his inevitable knife completely fall into the air.

And that's not all, after avoiding this abrupt knife, Gao Changlin suddenly approached like lightning, and at the moment when the other party was surprised and hesitated because of the missed knife, he turned his fingers into a knife and slashed at the opponent's neck, and then bent his knees upwards and slammed into his lower abdomen.

"Bang! Disheveled! Two muffled sounds were accompanied by a miserable snort, and the leader's body immediately went limp, and he collapsed on the boat, and then he still clutched his vital parts and convulsed. Just a glance, this leader of the thieves, who was still arrogant and terrifying just now, has completely lost the strength to fight again.

This change was even more frightening than when Gao Changlin Dao revealed their identities just now. When the thieves saw their leader fall to the ground, they were terrified in their hearts, and their movements naturally slowed down. This made the already not very favorable situation even more unbearable, and the weapons in the hands of the companions quickly found their flaws and knocked them to the ground one by one.

In the blink of an eye, the situation was completely controlled by Gao Changlin and a few people. And this change made Lao Zhang's eyes a little straightened: "This...... Who the hell are you? Now he is 100% sure that this Gao Changlin is by no means the salt merchant he claims to be, and there is no such salt merchant in the world.

Gao Changlin didn't hide it, and when he touched it from his arms, he took out a waist card: "Jinyi Wei Nanzhi Thousand Households!" These are my right-hand men. ”

"It turned out to be Lord Qianhu...... "Lao Zhang, as a boat runner, has limited knowledge of the official position of Qianhu. But the name of the Jinyi Guard was like thunder to him, and he felt like he was in a dream when he thought that all this was actually done by them. It's a pity that the boatman who was killed by the thief...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, and his eyes turned to the corpse that was gradually getting cold.

Gao Changlin followed their gaze and turned around the corpse, but he didn't look guilty at all. In his heart, the key is to complete the task, lure out these thieves and catch them all, as for whether any of them have suffered from the pond fish, it is not in his consideration.

Of course, Lao Zhang also understands this, even if he doesn't understand, he doesn't dare to settle accounts with the government, especially the people of Jinyiwei. In fact, if it weren't for Gao Changlin and them, Lao Zhang and several others might have died on this canal.

"My lord, can they take care of the thieves over there?" Seeing that this was done, one of his men glanced at the two ships behind him with some uneasiness. The four of them are the most skilled people in the Thousand Households, and because they need to attract the enemy to attack, they all gather together. As a result, on the two ships behind, only those ordinary brocade guards were left to deal with the enemy.

In this regard, Gao Changlin was full of confidence: "It's okay, if we can't take these thieves with such an arrangement, let's not wear this clothes in the future." With more than 100 brothers and their bows and crossbows, can those thieves still turn the sky upside down? ”

Indeed, as Gao Changlin said, while their side was controlling the situation, the confrontation between the two ships behind them was completely ended, and the thieves who were planning to seize the ship had all been tied up by the brocade-clothed guards who were ambushed on the ship.

When Lao Zhang's boat was hit and stopped, the two boats behind also stopped cooperatively. At this time, several small boats that had been lying in ambush not far away also quickly took advantage of the wind to rush over, using similar means to connect with the big ships, and many black-clothed and masked people climbed onto the boat.

Their thoughts are the same as the former, but the result is the same surprise, and the variable comes faster. Before these thieves could establish their might, a lot of big men who had been waiting for a long time suddenly came out of the cabin and fought them head-on.

And after they finally repelled these men with their own good martial arts, another group of people appeared, and they still held crossbow machines in their hands.

When they saw that the arrows that were flashing in the night sky were aimed at their vital points, and the other party was in a posture that could take their lives at any time, these thieves who were still menacing just now immediately panicked.

Some people turned around and wanted to escape, but unfortunately as soon as they turned around, there was a scream of sharp arrows breaking through the air behind them, shooting several people directly on the spot. Subsequently, after the brocade guards on the two ships revealed their identities, these thieves had no choice but to tie their hands and capture them.

It wasn't until many years later that Lao Zhang, who had experienced this incident, would brag about it to others after drinking: "Later, I asked the boss Gao what the situation was, and he saw that I was still a little righteous, so he explained it to me." ”

Saying that, Lao Zhang took a sip of wine again with some sloppiness before continuing: "It turns out that this is all a strategy set by the Lord of Jinyiwei after knowing the wolf ambitions of those Cao gang thieves. They expected that the other party would attack those salt ships, so they disguised Gao Qianhu as salt merchants early, and hid many hands on the ships, just waiting for the other party to plan. I said that at that time, why was his boss Gao so anxious to go north.

"What's even more clever is that because they know that I still have the eyeliner of the Cao Gang on my ship, they only made arrangements on the back two boats, but there are only a few of them on my boat, which is really bold. The two ships behind it, the salt loaded when they departed from the dock had already been quietly replaced by hundreds of brocade guards on the halfway.

In this way, the Cao gang thieves who wanted to fight the idea of the salt boat fell into the trap. I originally thought that a praying mantis would catch cicadas, but it turned out to be good, but I became the poor cicada, and the cicada in their eyes turned into a praying mantis and captured them all. As he spoke, Lao Zhang was amazed again, and at the same time drank a few large glasses of wine.

For this story, many young people who followed him later ran the boat were amazed and yearned, and they especially admired Yang Zhen, the Jinyi Wei who set up such a plan and arrested all the Cao gang thieves.

Of course, all this is an afterthought, and a few days later, the news came back to Hangzhou, and learned that everything had happened as he expected, Yang Zhen exhaled a long breath: "Great, things are finally done." Although he had made sufficient arrangements, and although he had strong confidence in his plan, this matter was after all related to the transportation of salt in the north, and there was no way to go wrong. Now, he can finally rest assured.

After completely letting go of his heart, Yang Zhen's eyes showed a different kind of look and murderous intent: "Since everyone has been arrested, it's time to go to Yangzhou to arrest the culprit!" ”
