Chapter 179: Is There a Way?
It is a small gourd-shaped harbor filled with large and small fishing boats.
The largest fishing boat was no more than five feet long, and in front of the three small mountain-like boats outside the mouth of the gourd, it looked like ants.
The largest was the strangely shaped Western-style ship, with a pointed bow and a long wooden mast sticking out of the bow, on which a triangular white sail was tied; Between the three masts, which are scattered in height, there are ropes of different thicknesses, which make people dizzy; The most outrageous thing is the height of this Western ship, my God, it is a cut higher than the Daifuku ship behind it!
The fishermen, who had never seen a Western ship, only had time to look up at the giant ship, and then they picked up their oars and rowed towards the mouth of the gourd - the guys of the Chu family had already said that every time they sent a boatload of people on the Western boat, they would give the two eldest sons, could the fishermen still run faster?
On the mouth of the chaotic gourd, hundreds of Liaodong refugees were either carrying large and small packages, or carrying burdens that they didn't know what they were loading, and some even pushed wheelbarrows that were about to fall apart, and under the greeting of more than a dozen Chu guys, they were noisily waiting in line to get on the boat.
The sharp-eyed fisherman saw the young master of the Chu family and his boat boss Ge Bi standing in the distance at a glance - it was rumored near Wanzikou Village that the young master of the Chu family had gone to sea to pick up a cornucopia this time, and he could conjure up gold and silver treasures by throwing something into it, and he was crazy.
The young master of the Chu family didn't stand still, laughing and greeting these poor homeless people from time to time, and later squatted down and talked to a little girl in the homeless group for a long time, and took out a bag of jelly beans from his arms and handed it to her, which made the fishermen very angry - my family is still related to the Chu family, why didn't I see a bag of jelly beans to my child?
"Aunt Cao, what are you doing...... Childe has said it, the clothes, shoes and socks over there are all new, why do you say you still bring these rags? Occupy the place in vain! The guy named Zhao Hai of the Chu family on the mouth of the gourd was arguing with a middle-aged woman while maintaining order, but his words made the ears of these fishermen stand up - what? Clothes, shoes and socks white give? It's all new!
Loser!
There are old fishermen who secretly shook their heads, very much because the Zhang family is not worthy, how to raise such a loser, there will be a cornucopia will be defeated sooner or later.
Belly slander is belly slander, you have to do a good job, the two eldest sons, enough to buy half a liter of white rice!
When it was full of seven or eight homeless people, the old fisherman rowed towards the great ship with his oars, and after leaning carefully against the side of the boat, a large rattan basket hung down from the high deck, and then slowly pulled it up after loading three people at a time.
After emptying the fishing boat, the old fisherman returned to the mouth of the gourd with his oar, and before he arrived, he heard a noise in the distance, stretched his neck and saw that there was a disaster.
I saw a large group of soaps, surrounded by two small sedan chairs, snoring and drinking towards the mouth of the gourd; Walking in the forefront is the head of the fast class, with an iron ruler in his waist and an iron rope in his hand, walking vigorously; Behind him, Soap Li was followed by the green skin of the street of No. 100, carrying all kinds of guys in his hands.
Boy! Who is this going to take?
When the old fisherman saw that the situation was not good, he turned the bow of the boat and rowed into the private harbor -- it was not cost-effective to go to prison for two pennies.
The mouth of the gourd suddenly became quiet, and the Liaodong refugees who were still noisy just now stopped, and looked at the large group of soaps with their hands and walked straight to Chu Fan before stopping, but no one noticed that Zhao Hai had disappeared in a flash.
The small sedan chair came to a stop three feet in front of Chu Fan, the sedan curtain was opened, and the cold face of the Dengzhou General Judge appeared in front of Chu Fan.
"Chu Fan! Can you be convicted? ”
As soon as the judge's foot landed, he shouted loudly.
"What am I guilty of?" Chu Fan replied coldly, he didn't even bother to salute with his hands behind his back, and the corner of his eye glanced at the fast shift leader-he wanted to see if the other party dared to put the iron rope on his head seriously.
The general judge pointed to the "Golden Phoenix", and then pointed to the group of homeless people, "You colluded with Xiyi and sold my Ming people as slaves, is there still a royal law in your eyes?" ”
His words of sowing discord had some effect, causing a small commotion among the homeless, but it was quickly quelled - among the homeless people, the women who had worked last time were the backbone, and there was no stirring up.
After the general judgment was finished, he turned his head and asked the official, "Strictly push the official, what should you be guilty of smuggling people?" ”
The pusher arched his hand and said, "According to the "Da Ming Law", those who sell their people as slaves and maids will have a hundred rods and three thousand miles. ”
As soon as the official's voice fell, Chu Fan looked up to the sky and laughed, and it took a long time before he finished speaking, "There are a total of 469 people here, 388 people, each of whom has signed a contract with our East India Company, and the seal of the prefect's office is used as evidence. ”
As he spoke, Ge Bi had already handed a large stack of body deeds to the general judgment, and after the general judgment was slightly flipped over a few times, his face became more and more ugly - he only knew that Chu Fan was recruiting people, but he didn't know that Cai Zhifu had already made the beginning and end of the recruitment process clear, so he ate this deflated.
"I have a deed, but I just pay it back," he groaned, and then turned the finger to the "Golden Phoenix", "but how is this ship Xiyi's?" As a student, what do you want to do if you collude with Xiyi? ”
"Although this ship is in the shape of a Yi boat, it is owned by my Yang family in Fujian, how can I say that Xiyi said?" Before Chu Fan could speak, a person was squeezed out of the homeless people behind him, who was it not Yang Dijiao?
I saw that he unhurriedly took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to the general judge, not only the ship deed, but even the road guides from all over the country, including Dengzhou.
The general judgment still did not believe it, so he picked up the deed and brought it to his eyes to look at it carefully, and saw that it was clearly written, "There is a Western-shaped ship, three masts, a number of lengths, a number of heights, and a number of widths." "Above is the customs defense of the Bo Division of Quanzhou Tiju City.
The general judgment was completely dumbfounded, and the pusher exchanged glances imperceptibly--both of them were hardcore cronies of Wang Tingqian, and after receiving the letter from Wang Tingqian, the two discussed for several days, and felt that it would be impossible to attack the East India Company directly--the official gentry in Dengzhou had too many shares, and they did not dare to poke the beecomb--only then decided to start with these Liaodong refugees recruited by Chu Fan, and find the flaw to completely stir up the matter of Huangxian grass cigarettes.
I thought that there would be omissions in recruiting people, but I didn't expect that Chu Fan had already done a good job, and he couldn't find the slightest flaw.
The magistrate glanced at the document in the judge's hand, his eyes lit up, and he didn't know what to say in the ear of the judge, only to see a sly smile flash on the judge's face, and then cleared his throat and said, "Chu Fan, you also have this body deed, and you also have a ship deed, but you have a lot of ...... Well, hired laborer, where do you want to send it? There can be ...... Lue? ”
Chu Fan was really dumbfounded now-this old thing really picked out the thorns from the egg!
The road guidance system has long existed in name only, who would have thought of getting that Raushzi; Besides, Ushijima doesn't need it!
What to do?
[Eh, it looks like it's Valentine's Day? Well, I wish you all lovers a happy holiday, and I wish you those who don't have lovers to find a lover soon :)]
