"Chop!"

Amid the roar, several Taiping soldiers dressed in yellow clothes and wearing red scarves on their heads pushed several people who were begging for help onto the stone steps by the river.

"All of them are cut!"

The knife fell on the cry with the fall of the knife and stopped, and the crimson blood gushed up from the broken neck of the corpse, when the corpses were kicked into the river at will, Zhu Yifeng's heart couldn't help but chill, this was the first time he witnessed killing, looking at the red river, his heart sank.

If he hadn't fooled Shi Dakai at the beginning, maybe he would be like them now...... Looking at the crimson on the surface of the river, and the paralyzed blood on the stone steps, he realized that until now, he had been hanging with the ghost door closed.

Speak to the rebels about their credibility...... Are you really crazy or fake stupid?

At that moment, he heard a loud shout from beside him.

"Lose your mother, you used to trick Lao Tzu before, didn't you ......?"

Although he was once half a scholar, but since he rebelled in Hunan, the cultivation of this scholar has long been gone, and seeing that he was "ugly" in front of outsiders, Chen Shuyang was annoyed in his heart, raised his leg and kicked Li Ziyuan who was kneeling on the ground, kicked him to the ground, and shouted loudly.

"I'm going to cut you! Someone ...... coming."

Li Ziyuan, who is not bold in his own right, heard it, and the fat round face suddenly turned white, and he was scared to the fart, and he suddenly wanted to faint with a white face, and his legs were scared, and he wanted to explain and couldn't speak, and he wanted to run only to feel that his two feet didn't obey the call, so he could only let others drag his arms to the river. He muttered incessantly.

"Small, villain, don't dare, don't dare to ......"

"Is it really going to be over?"

At this moment, my brain was buzzing like a swarm of exploding hornets, and I wanted to find a way to save my fragile little life, but I had to go blank, my hands and feet trembling and being kicked from the ass by the knife and axe hand behind me, and when I leaned forward, the pigtail was grabbed and the person was grabbed, and then I felt a chill in my neck - it was the ghost head knife of the knife and axe hand.

"I, I'm still there, haven't passed through the woman's ......"

In extreme fear, he couldn't turn his head around, but what he thought about was that he hadn't had a woman yet, wouldn't it be too much of a loss to die like this.

For a moment, he actually hoped that the knife on the back of his neck would fall quickly, and gave him a good feeling, but who would have thought that the man had made a gesture once, and made a gesture again.

"Ouch, my ......"

When the big knife was drawn on his neck, and when he fell and then lifted it, Yu Xiaobao, who was so frightened that he couldn't even kneel, was even more frightened, his facial features twisted together, his thighs were hot and damp, and he spilled in the crotch of his pants when he soaked in urine, and his body was suddenly filled with an unpleasant smell of feces and urine.

Just when he was scared of feces and urine, closed his eyes and waited for death with a dead face, he suddenly heard a voice come into his ears.

"Slow, don't kill him!"

When he opened his eyes, Li Ziyuan looked at the man who was doing business with the rebels and said.

"I still have something to ask him!"

This sentence can be regarded as dragging Li Ziyuan back from the ghost gate for the time being.

"Old, master, you, what are you asking, the small, the little ones tell you all......"

Li Ziyuan, who was still stepping on the side of the ghost gate, wept silently, kowtowing his head without paying attention, trying to exchange his weakness for the sympathy of the other party, he had already seen that on this dock, I am afraid that only this master could save him.

"Do you know the price of this brick tea? Was a businessman before? ”

The reason why he has this kindness is not that Zhu Yifeng wants to save his life, but that he doesn't want the Taiping Army to "owe" him money.

The corpse that had just been cut off by the river was reminding him of what kind of people he was dealing with!

"Small, the villain is, he is the guy on the number, and he also does tea trading on this number, a box of Hankou green brick tea is 100 catties, worth six taels and three dollars and five cents of silver......"

The reason why Li Ziyuan knew this price was thanks to a few tea merchants he met on the boat on the way, chatted with those tea merchants all the way, and knew a little about the price of tea in Hankou, and now in order to survive, he even admitted that he was a buddy, after all, there was no danger of being a buddy. However, when talking about this price, he sold a smart man, and his words were not loud, that is, they only reached Zhu Yifeng's ears.

"Also, please ask the master, the master saves the villain's life, and the villain repays the lord by being a cow and a horse in this life......"

Listen to the words that come to your ears,

"Hmph...... That's a smart man! ”

Zhu Yifeng glanced at the person who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, he wanted to save his life!

It seems that there is no one around me! As...... Doing business is speculation, employing people, it is also speculation, but it is only a moment's effort, and I calculate the actions of this person before and after in my heart, whether it is seizing the opportunity to speak before, or praying now, not to mention anything else, even this eyesight is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

"You want to live? It's okay for you to save your life! ”

Leaning forward slightly, Zhu Yifeng asked rhetorically, raised his head, Li Ziyuan raised his head in surprise, looking at this person, he, he wants to save himself?

In the western sky, the sun was setting, and under the impetus of the steam engine, the bow of the "Pacific" broke the waves and moved forward, disturbing a river like a bloody sun, and almost as soon as it left Hankou, the "Pacific" started the steam engine, and left this place of burning arms at full speed with the help of the river breeze and the reverse current.

At this time, whether it was the crew or the captain, there was probably only one thought left in their hearts - to leave this place, and just as they were about to leave, they had witnessed a "massacre" on the docks. Because one of them tried to escape, the captain who led the team directly ordered five of the men in the group to be cut to death, and those five men were beheaded at the dock, and the severed bodies were kicked into the river as if they were in tatters, and the bloody blood was everywhere on the side of the boat, just like the remnant sun on the river at this time.

Because it is the relationship under the river, the ship went very fast, when the twilight completely fell, the ship had passed Huangzhou, continued to sail in the heart of the river, at this time the hidden worries when leaving the port had been dissipated, the Chinese and foreign sailors on the ship after getting the promise of a bonus of fifty taels per person, all were howling excitedly, although the bonus of fifty taels needed to wait for Shanghai to be cashed, but at least, this short voyage, so that everyone got a rich return.

With the acquiescence of the captain, each sailor was given a glass of wine, which, though not drunk enough, was enough to make the sailors laugh out loud as they enjoyed the dinner and the drinks, and discussed how to spend the huge sum of money when they returned to Shanghai.

While the sailors were discussing how to spend their money, in the cabin adjacent to the captain's cabin at the stern, Zhu Yifeng was there constantly calculating the profits of this trip to Hankow. In addition to nearly 1,600 quintals of raw silk, there were also nearly 20,000 boxes of green brick tea, which, like raw silk, were confiscated by the Taiping army in the tea estates of Hankou and Hanyang, and were originally supposed to be shipped to Shanghai, where they were purchased and shipped to Russia by Russian or Nordic merchants.

"What is the price of tea in Shanghai now?"

Although the current price of tea in Shanghai is not known, the nearly 20,000 boxes of tea bricks were purchased at a low price of less than one-fifth of the market price, but the market price is ......

Thinking about the price offered in Hankou, Zhu Yifeng immediately turned his attention to Li Ziyuan, who was sitting cowering on the side, and when he left Hankou, he wanted to get off this person, but until now, he was still hesitant whether he should save him.

"Ziyuan, you say, should I save you? After all, my business is a broken business! ”

When Li Ziyuan, who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, heard this, the whole person was stunned at first, and quickly knelt down, he knew that whether he could live or not was the real key now.

"Master, the villain's life was saved by you, in this life you are a member of the Zhu family, and death is a ghost of the Zhu family......"

"Oh......"

His eyes and eyebrows were slit, and Zhu Yifeng's hand under the table was still holding a revolver.

"Tell me, then, are you really a buddy in a firm?"

"Ahh

Li Ziyuan, who was kowtowing to show his loyalty, heard this, and he wanted to explain, gritted his teeth violently, kowtowed again, and said.

"Back to the old man, it's true that the villain is from Guizhou, but, but not a guy on the business name, this time I came to Hankou, originally, I was originally preparing to go to Beijing to take the entrance examination, to visit the teacher to study, but I never thought about ......it."

I'm still a reader!

Entering the Beijing Entrance Examination, he is still a lifter!

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhu Yifeng's brows were tightly locked, should this person stay or not? If he returns to Shanghai, he will report himself to Shanghai? Zhu Yifeng doesn't believe that he has any domineering spirit, which can make people bow down and follow willingly, if he betrays himself......

The stakes seem a bit big!

Or...... Point the muzzle of the gun slightly forward and pull your finger on the trigger......

Kill him!
