Chapter 332: Ferry Transfer
In several houses near the wharf in Haizhou, a group of hardcover men dressed as wharf laborers gathered in a small courtyard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"How? Did the boss send any news from me?" A sturdy man with centipede-like scars on his face stared at a short, fat man and asked.
"Nope." The fat man shook his head and said, "But I did find out where the boss and the others live, it's in the Four Seas Pavilion in the market."
"Four Seas Pavilion!" The scar-faced man licked his lips, and his eyes flashed: "Sure enough, it's a rich businessman!"
"Brother Dao, do you want to inform the boss that we are here?" The fat man said to Scarface.
"Notify the fart!" Brother Dao slapped the fat man angrily and said, "Do you think the boss will be as stupid as you?" When the boss first came to Haizhou, he had already contacted us! ”
"Huh?" The fat man was startled for a moment, and said curtly: "I, aren't I also afraid that the boss will not know?"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense!" Brother Dao said: "Tomorrow morning, let's go to those merchant ships in groups according to the previous plan, remember, we will all go to find the ship to Dengzhou, and we will leave the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, Brother Dao!" Those men should be in unison.
"Okay, let's all disperse, we have to get a good night's sleep today!" Brother Dao waved his hand and let all his subordinates disperse.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone had already gone back to their respective houses to rest, in the courtyard where Brother Dao was.
Swish!
A black shadow suddenly flashed out of the house where Brother Dao lived, and went straight out of the house.
……
Two quarters of an hour later, on a relatively hidden sampan at the Haizhou wharf, a figure had been waiting for a long time.
"Jinyi Wei Jiaxing Prefecture, Jiaxing County, Jinyi Wei Yin Duo, I have seen the deputy thousand households!" The figure bowed respectfully to the men on the sampan.
"Fat Yin, you're late." On the sampan, the figure turned around, and it was Zhu Song's little follower Qinghua!
"Lord Deputy Qianhu, that knife is staring too closely, and every Qimen Dart Master who comes to Haizhou has a team of apprentices, nominally for protection, but in fact it is to monitor us."
The man named Yin Duo raised his head, and the bright moonlight fell on his face, and it turned out to be the fat man who had reported to Brother Dao about the residence of Zhu Chunhua and the others before.
never thought that this person would be the Jinyi Wei of Jiaxing Mansion.
"Hmm." Qinghua nodded and said, "All the merchant ships from Haizhou to Dengzhou tomorrow morning are our people, you can go to any ship you want to find work, but it is best to be the one on the far left side of the dock."
"Yes!" Yin Duo lowered his eyebrows and replied, and continued: "Is the prince okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that I wronged those little boys and Miss Yue'er." Qinghua frowned slightly, and continued: "When you see a few little boys, don't forget to indicate your identity, so as not to be killed by the little boys and feed the sea fish."
"Hehe......" Hearing Qinghua's words, Yin Duo laughed, perhaps in his opinion, it was still a little difficult for Zhu Youjiao and them to kill him.
Glancing at Yin Duo coldly, Qinghua said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, when the time comes, when you die, this official will not report your military merits."
……
Before dawn the next day, the Haizhou wharf had already become noisy.
Merchant ships are neatly arranged on the docks, cargo ships and merchant ships are divided into two areas, and from the docks to the decks of the ships, there are constantly mixed workers, frequently going back and forth between the shore and the ship.
The heavy goods were carried by the workers step by step, and the bright sunlight reflected on the bronzed skin of the workers, which looked extremely clumsy and charming.
On the shore of the wharf, the merchants who need to hire merchant ships to go to all parts of Daming, and the people who want to go to all parts of Daming, almost crowd the entire wharf shore.
On the bustling wharf shore, there are occasionally hawkers shouting loudly, selling herbal tea or dim sum, which is quite a bit of a lively market.
"Dodge, dodge, do you have long eyes? Dare to stand in the way of our Master Zhu. ”
Suddenly, an extremely arrogant sound came from the dock, and then I saw that the lively crowd was forcibly separated by a wide road, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded, and six carriages, escorted by a hundred light and strong men, came slowly.
"Who are these people? So arrogant? ”
"Who knows, maybe it is the son of a big official or a noble family in the imperial court."
"Just the dog leg in front of me, I want to beat him up when I look at him."
The surrounding merchants, the common people, the peddlers, and even the workers who were engaged in the porter's work all turned their eyes to the procession and whispered at the same time.
The one who spoke just now was the one who walked at the front of the line, a short, thin, and human-like horse-monkey.
This guy was the Qimen Dart Bureau Dart Master who was arranged by Zhu Chunhua to follow Zhu Song and them two days ago to protect their safety.
Then the origin of this team is about to come out, Zhu Song's team!
The thirty domestic servants and guards of Zhu Song's original team were already very arrogant, but they didn't expect that after following Zhu Song for so seven or eight days, the dart masters and apprentices of the Qimen Dart Bureau were even more arrogant than these people.
Otherwise, it is only a matter of minutes for this person to change from good to bad, but if you want to change from bad to good, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Da-da-da-da!
The team soon arrived at the government-run ferry transfer office on the docks that hired and liaised with merchant and cargo ships.
This transshipment office is equivalent to the traffic command center in Zhu Song's previous life, except that this transshipment office has more functions of hiring and contacting merchant cargo ships.
Of course, the construction of a government-run transshipment office on Haizhou Wharf was actually Zhu Song's idea, and it was even there
The officials in the transfer office were all asked for by Zhu Songjian from Zhu Di.
"Stop!"
The location of the transshipment office is converted from the manor of a noble viscount, although the area is not very large, but it is enough to cope with the normal office of the ferry transshipment.
In front of the gate of the ferry transfer office, two sturdy bodies with serious faces stopped Zhu Song and them.
"I'm Zhu Chunhua, the dart master of the Qimen Dart Bureau." Zhu Chunhua took a few steps forward and said politely to the two officials: "We came this time to inquire about the merchant ships going to Dengzhou Mansion. ”
"Oh, Dengzhou!"
The official on the left side of the gate first glanced at Zhu Chunhua, then at the carriages, and said, "Master Zhu, to inquire about the merchant ships going to Dengzhou Mansion, in addition to you, you also need your employer. ”
"This? It doesn't have to be so troublesome, right? Zhu Chunhua was stunned for a moment and said.
"It's necessary." The official said with a solemn face: "Because we need to know the purpose of your trip to Dengzhou Mansion, as well as the commission, it must not be something that you can determine as a hired dart master, right?" ”
"Zhu Dangjia, what's the ink?" Zhu Song stepped down from the carriage and said, "Since the people ask for it, let's all go in." ”
Zhu Chunhua's face changed slightly, and he stopped talking. (To be continued.) )
