Just when Li Chun and Wenhe decided to find an opportunity to knock on Chang Zhenbang, a local military and political official, the second batch of flour was also produced in full swing, because of the last blood and tears lesson, so that those men in charge of escorting flour did not dare to go by land again, and took the awning boat directly by water, don't look at the scorching sun outside, but hide in those rickety small canopies, and the brothers made a pot of strong tea, drank a little wine, and made the money with a smile, not to mention how refreshing.

Zhao Laosan sat on the bow of the boat and shook the folding fan, humming a little song, and the bow of the boat on the side said with a smile: "Third Brother Zhao, you are in a good mood." When we get to the shore, I will have to drink a few cups with my brother. Zhao Laosan closed the folding fan in his hand with a snap, glanced back at him, and said: "The boat boss can accompany the brother who drinks this thing, but I can forget about this docking matter, brother, it's not a crowded dock, let's not go, we can't be more careful about Boss Wang's experience." ”

The boat boss listened to it and said with a smile: "Boss Wang's business, that's really fate, at the beginning of the year, I saw Boss Wang go to the temple to tell fortunes, saying that there was a bloody disaster, sure enough, Boss Wang really got involved in this matter, but fortunately, although so many brothers died, Boss Wang retreated, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune!" ”

Zhao Laosan shook his head and said: "Boss Wang is stubborn, Wenhe won't let him participate in this matter, he is good, he has to say something not to avenge his brothers, he has no face to mix on the ground in Jiangxi, I really don't know what is the reason, what era is it now, the emperor is gone, how can he behave according to the original set of people?" But it's thanks to this that Lao Tzu sat in this position, and we will be more affectionate with the ship boss in the future. ”

"That's, that's!" The boat boss responded to the road, but his eyes were full of disdain and contempt for Zhao Laosan, and the heart of drinking and handing over gradually dispersed, and after the two of them gossiped for a while, the boat boss returned to the boat, so that the boatmen were not allowed to be lazy and rowed well.

Zhao Laosan took a fan, built a pergola on his face, and looked into the distance, but saw that the water and sky not far away gradually turned blue and hard, and occasionally there were a few dilapidated boats, shouting a cheerful fishing trumpet from afar, rowing in front of their eyes, at first glance, it was a poor ghost, I really don't know how they sang such a cheerful trumpet?

The boat boss stood beside Zhao Laosan again and said, "Brother Zhao San's kung fu has half a day, we can kill Poyang Lake, there is a lot of turmoil in this Poyang Lake, you old man have to be careful not to let the waves get wet." ”

Zhao Laosan laughed when he heard this: "Boat boss, you are too careful, I, Zhao, am not the kind of man who has never seen the wind and waves, I think that when Lao Tzu escorted the Yangtze River to cross the Yellow River, what water bandits have not encountered, how can I lose my hand in this small Poyang Lake." ”

The boat boss shook his head helplessly, thinking that you can blow it vigorously just for you, Chen Youliang, the first heroic man in the last years of the Great Yuan Dynasty, who is the long-haired thief who stirs up the world and kills people like hemp, you don't have to be powerful, it's not that you have fed the fish and shrimp in this lake in the river, but it's okay if you say so, if something really happens, then Lao Tzu will take care of himself, thinking of this, he showed a flower-like smile on his face, and said very happily: "Who doesn't know the prestige of Zhao Sange, who doesn't know, if you really meet a water bandit, Brother, I haven't seen much of the world, so my brother has to take care of it more. ”

Zhao Laosan said with a smile: "It's fate that we are in the same boat, you call me the third brother, we are brothers, we must be the same when we should take care of it, what's the matter, is there really a water bandit in this Poyang Lake?" ”

The boat boss said: "The third brother said that he laughed, there are mountains and forests on the shore, and bandits can occupy the mountains as kings, but on this water, you see what hiding things can be, that is, someone has evil intentions, and it is also the boatman's greed to harm the boat passengers, there will never be any bandits, unless the world is in chaos, Wang Gang is broken, no one cares, and the men on the water will take risks to form associations with each other, if there is a disaster, but then it is not a small disaster, unless the imperial court sends a large army, just like Yue Fei and Yang Mo, otherwise who can control?" So the third brother can rest assured. There are so many of us ordinary cubs who don't hide far away when they see it! ”

"Humph! Brother, you are afraid of these water pirates and pirates, but you third brother and I are not afraid! Hearing that there was no harm, Zhao Laosan couldn't control the shouting of the door again, and said: "If there are really water thieves coming, Lao Tzu will kill one by one, and two will kill a pair!" ”

At this moment, suddenly a huge fleet of ships appeared faintly in front, and a large flag with two phoenixes holding fire beads was erected on the first big ship, and a clear Wu character was embroidered on the fire beads, and hundreds of small boats were marching towards Zhao Sange's side.

Third Brother Zhao glanced at it, stretched out his hand and pointed forward with a folding fan, and said a little unhappily: "Boss of the boat, what's going on?" Even the government's fleet is not so arrogant! ”

The boat boss looked forward, and when he saw the Shuangfeng Wuzi flag in front of him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Third brother, this is the law ship of Wu's bow, as long as we follow the back of their ship, we will not be afraid of any pirates." ”

"French ships? What's going on? Zhao Sange was a little confused when he heard it, and the old boat avenue: "The Jiujiang Boat Gang is the green gang in this Poyang Lake, which flourished during the period of Zeng Wenzhenggong, and helped the court to exterminate the long-haired thieves, but the bow of the ship was named the yellow coat by Lafayette, and the Wuhan civil unrest was rampant for a while, and was later liquidated by Li Liejun, and the power plummeted. Gradually restored to the past Poyang Lake overlord of a few looks, this law is the car of Wu Boss, this drive is said to be the sage Wen Zhenggong exterminated the long-haired thief when he once boarded the past neighbor command, in the most fierce war, the sky descended double phoenix for the saint to point out the direction, this broke the long-haired thief, saved the whole world thousands of people, since then, this boat is the Jiujiang Boat Gang's law boat, this law boat can only be on the Jiujiang Boat Gang's family, in order to respect the saint, all the words with the Lord have also been changed to the head. For example, the leader of the Jiujiang Boat Gang can only be said to be the bow or bow of the Jiujiang Boat Gang now. ”

"Interesting! Where the saint has been, I want to see it too! Zhao Laosan said enviously: "I don't know if you know the captain of the ship, do you know this Wu bow?" What about relationships? Can I get on board the ship and have a look? ”

The boat boss said: "They are all brothers who eat on the waterway, how can it not matter?" There are still favors, but they are not as good as those who specialize in Poyang Lake, if the third brother wants to go up and have a look, the brothers are not helpless, but Boss Wu has to restrain his words in front of him, if he is not happy, the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to live in this Poyang Lake. ”

At this moment, Boss Wu's fleet gradually poured over, and a boat next to the Shuangfeng Law Boat said to the Ship Boss and Zhao Laosan: "How many stars in the sky? How many bends does the Yangtze River have? How many nails are on board? ”

Zhao Laosan glanced at the boat boss, who stood at the bow of the boat and shouted: "The seven stars in the sky are Beidou, the Yangtze River bends to the sea, and there are only five stars on the ship, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith!" ”

"Eightfold virtue in front of the saint's door! Why are there three fewer lines on board! There is a gold mountain on your passenger ship! Can you lend me three cents! ”

"Corrupt officials and corrupt officials have less virtue, but brothers on the water are much more refreshing! Now that Taiping is in Poyang, it is all Jiujiang brothers, don't say that as long as you have three pennies, Jinshan will also be sent away! ”

"I don't know where you are a brother, why did you come to my Poyang Lake to play!"

"Brother is a water wanderer in Nanchang, there are several boats of flour to enter the sea from Poyang Lake, and I hope that the brothers of the Jiujiang Boat Gang will do well, and the younger brother has his own sincerity!" The boat boss shouted.

"It turned out to be the water wanderer brother!" Someone on the boat shouted over there: "Now the world is not very peaceful, there are many bandits on the road, there are many thieves on the water, the boss of the bow of the boat takes the brothers to inspect Poyang, for the safety of one side, but also collects a few small money to support the family, more or less are the rules set by the saints, and I hope that the water wanderer brothers understand!" ”

"The saint once set his heart for heaven and earth, established his life for the people, continued to learn for the saints, and opened peace for all generations! The rules set by the Son of Heaven and Lafayette must say good, how can the brothers not be happy? Please also ask the brothers to come on board to inspect the goods! Saying that, the order went down, and asked the people on the boat behind to quickly dock over and let the brothers of the Jiujiang Boat Gang inspect the goods.

Zhao Laosan was a little unhappy and said, "I said the boat boss, what's going on?" It's just a matter of giving money, why do you still let them inspect the goods! You must know that this flour is the flour of Li Chun's overseer, Lord Wenhe, even those people in the government dare not stop it, how can they let these people search? Who's the one who loses it? There has never been such a rule in the Tao! ”

The boat boss sighed and said: "Third brother, what you said is on the road, we are now in this Poyang Lake, we will listen to others, if we don't listen, we will either withdraw from Poyang Lake, or be killed by these guys and thrown into the water, even if it is spread out, we will break the rules of the road!" Fortunately, the Jiujiang Boat Gang has strict rules, and the hands and feet of the people are clean, if the hands and feet are not clean, they will be invited to the French boat to chop their hands and stomp their feet, three knives and six eyes! So the third brother doesn't have to worry about the problem of losing it! ”

"Who set the rules, Lao Tzu has never heard such ruthless rules for so many years!" Zhao Laosan gasped and said coldly.

The boat boss sighed and said, "Who says it's not? But this is the rule left by the saint Zeng! The sage said that those who obey the rules are good people and should be treated well, and those who do not obey are traitors to the people, and they can receive merit if they are killed! ”

Zhao Laosan said: "Now that the Republic of China is over, even if it is Zeng Shengren's words, it will have to be changed!" ”

Chuanlao Daodao: "After President Yuan came to power, he stopped for a while, but Chang Zhen's envoy also said such things!" These Jiujiang gangs are once again coaxing. ”

Zhao Laosan watched the fleet of the Jiujiang Boat Gang come over in a straight line, changed formation halfway, formed a large circle to surround the fleet of the boat boss, and then released more than a dozen small boats, boarded the deck and boarded the boat boss's boat, and searched carefully.

A man accidentally stepped on the deck, and was about to fall into the water, who knew that this man was also powerful, kicked his legs, jumped up to a height of seven or eight feet out of thin air, slowly landed on other men, and randomly jumped back onto the boat, the action was done in one go, attracting a lot of applause.

After Zhao Laosan shouted a few times, he said with a smile: "This man is really a master of art and bold, there is no trace of water on his shoes, it is really amazing!" ”

The boat boss stared at the man who jumped from the small boat, but his face became more and more solemn, Zhao Laosan looked at him with a bad face, as if he had something wrong, and immediately asked, "Is there something wrong with the boat boss?" ”

"Shoes!" The boat boss said dumbfoundedly.

"Shoes?" Zhao Laosan said.

The boat boss said fiercely: "The rule of the Jiujiang Boat Gang is that you can't wear shoes inside and outside Poyang Lake for fifty miles!" If some of these people wear shoes, they are definitely not from the Jiujiang Boat Gang, this is ......"

Before he could finish speaking, his head "snapped" in front of Zhao Laosan and shattered into a puddle, with countless sounds of falling water from the nearby boats, the men of those boat bosses were stabbed to death one by one and thrown into the water, Zhao Laosan only felt that the sky was dark, and sat on the ground with a pop, and the bullet whistled past his head. was so frightened that he was even stiffer, and he didn't dare to move.

He closed his eyes, but his ears couldn't help but pay attention to the movement around him, and when the sound had subsided, he felt his body suddenly lifted up, dragged to another ship, and then thrown to the ground.

"Open your eyes!" A coercive voice rang in his ears.

Zhao Laosan, who didn't want to die, used all his strength to raise his eyelids, and a young officer stood in front of him, kicked him with his foot, and said, "You are so afraid of death, how can you be the leader?" But last time that guy was still a little bit of a look. ”

Zhao Laosan looked at him fearfully, and suddenly the officer in front of him thought of the bandit leader in Boss Wang's mouth, how to look like this momentum and majesty, and what the other party said just now made him firm in this idea. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was not afraid, as Boss Wang said, this is the dumping of Jiangxi officialdom, but his brothers have become innocent scapegoats, understanding this, he feels that he has little hope of living, after all, there are some things that everyone knows but does not need a third party to know, it is obvious that he is now the third party who should not know the secret. Cold sweat flowed down his head like a waterfall.

"Big ...... My lord, spare your life."

"What a coward!" The young officer smiled and said, "I have a few words for you to bring to Wenhe, you have to listen to them!" ”

"Your Excellency...... Albeit...... Command! Zhao Laosan said tremblingly.

Chang Zhenbang said: "Tell Wen He that this matter is all done by me Chang Zhenbang alone and has nothing to do with others, is there a kind of letting him find me?" ”

When Zhao Laosan heard this, he suddenly trembled like a swing, and only said after a long time: "My lord spares his life, if Wen He knows this, he will not have to take the villain's dog's life!" You just open the grace, just let the villain live! ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "If I let you go like this, what are you going to do?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Laosan lowered his head and said: "The villain only hopes to stay away from right and wrong and bury his name in the countryside!" The battle between you and the Lord Wenhe, how far the villain goes! I hope you will be gracious! ”

"You're a smart man!" Chang Zhenbang nodded and said: "The official will let you go, and you don't need to give Wen He a message after you go ashore, just spread the news that the bandits in Poyang Lake are rampant and rob Wen He of flour to me, as for the rest, you don't need to care." ”

"Thank you, sir! As soon as the villain goes ashore, the news will spread, and the adult's message will never be mistaken, but then the villain will be incognito, and I hope that the villain will be counted among the victims by the way when the adult transmits the news, so that Wen He will not be embarrassed for the villain's family! ”

"Alright! Let you die in the midst of this crowd! Chang Zhenbang said with a smile, took out a dagger from his sleeve and quickly stabbed it towards the back of Zhao Laosan's head.

Zhao Laosan is also a practitioner, although his brain was frightened, but the kung fu on his body is still there, hearing the sound of metal breaking wind, his head shook, his legs rushed forward, and he jumped to the bow of the boat before Chang Zhenbang stabbed him, and jumped into Poyang Lake without thinking about it, the surrounding men wanted to go into the water to catch him, but Chang Zhenbang waved his hand to stop him, looking at Zhao Laosan was latent in the water at first, and only after half a day did he leak out a human head and slowly swam towards the shallow water in the south, and when he was about to become a match-head-sized place on the horizon, Chang Zhenbang stretched out his hand and shot "snapped", and a layer of blood flooded around Zhao Laosan, and soon Zhao Laosan's body surfaced.

"Good marksmanship, my lord!" Boss Wu didn't know when he appeared behind Chang Zhenbang, and when he saw that his marksmanship was so wonderful, he couldn't help but applaud!

Chang Zhenbang smiled disapplausively and said: "After that, it will trouble Boss Wu, remember to spread the news after going ashore!" ”

Boss Wu smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as the news of this water thief spreads, the prestige of our Jiujiang Boat Gang in this Poyang Lake is incomparable, just this freight is enough to make the brothers change guns, this is all the grace of adults!" Ha ha. ”

"All the military and political regions have memorized what goods should be transported and what should not be transported, and don't remember how much goods should be drawn. As long as you do this well, don't say that you are planting in this Poyang Lake, but the entire Jiangxi waterway is your private courtyard! ”

"Don't worry, my lord, a strict order has been issued in the gang yesterday, if anyone is greedy and collects undeserved money, Lao Tzu will let him have three knives and six eyes, life is better than death!"

Chang Zhenbang looked at the setting sun in the distance, and the water was full of sorrow, I don't know if it was the afterglow of the sunset or the blood of those people he killed just now.
