Chapter 8 Qinghe Barracks

More than 100 naval warships approached the silver ship and surrounded them, 'Bang! With a bang, the broad gangways were placed on the side of the ship, and more than 200 heavily armed soldiers rushed to the silver ship, all of them with bright armor and swords, and they were murderous, and on all sides, more than a hundred ships were full of dense soldiers, holding crossbow arrows, and cold crossbow arrows were aimed at them.

Wu Huazhen stood up and shouted, "Where are you boats?" The owner of the ship came out to speak! ”

The attitude was very rough and bad, he grabbed people with his power, first used military authority to suppress the other party, Wei Ming stepped forward to give a salute, and handed over the official document of Donghai County, "This general, we are the official ship of Donghai County, escorting the tax and silver into Beijing, and below is the head of Donghai County Hu Cao, this is Duke Wen, please take a look!" ”

Wu Huazhen took the document and looked at it, there were assassination history and the official seal of Donghai County, it was a formal official document, the procedures were complete, and it was impeccable, Wu Huazhen couldn't catch the handle, he glanced at the Chen brothers again, and asked coldly: "Who are you who dare to bring a knife?" ”

Chen Zhu stepped forward, took out the record document of the Dart Bureau of Quanzhou County, and handed it over respectfully, "We are the Shengwu Dart Bureau of Quanzhou County, and the weapons I carry have been filed in Quanzhou County. ”

Wu Huazhen wanted to reprimand him for why he didn't kneel, but when he saw that he had a third-level samurai silver medal hanging on his waist, he swallowed the reprimand, he looked at it, frowned and asked: "Why does the official silver of Donghai County want the dart bureau of Quanzhou County to guard?" Why didn't Zhang Badao come? ”

Wei Ming said with a smile on the side: "Originally, I wanted Zhang to be a guard, but he said that there was no one in his hand, and he was seriously ill, so he refused to take this dart." ”

Wu Huazhen couldn't find an excuse, so his face sank, "I received a secret report that someone on your ship is suspected of smuggling, and I, as a captain of the navy, must perform my duties, I will search thoroughly, come here, give me a thorough search!" ”

A search was the best way, as long as he found the slightest excuse, he could arrest someone and detain the ship, and just as the soldiers were about to rush into the cabin, Wu Jin stepped forward, "Wait! ”

He held up a gold medal and shouted: "This is the crown prince's gold medal, who dares to be presumptuous!" ”

This gold medal was left by Tianxing in the county prison, and was picked up by Li Cell Boss and given to Wu Jin, at this critical juncture, Wu Jin came out, and the deck was suddenly silent, and the soldiers didn't dare to move, even Wei Ming was stunned, how could Wu Jin have a crown prince gold medal, didn't Lord Su say no?

Wu Huazhen blinked his eyes, the crown prince's gold medal is here, give him a thousand guts, he doesn't dare to search, and the deputy general Zhao Xun whispered in his ear: "This person has the prince's gold medal, I'm afraid the identity is not trivial, it's better to let them go." ”

Wu Huazhen didn't expect the other party to actually take out the crown prince's gold medal, which made him a little depressed in his heart, but it was impossible to let go of this ship, his eyes rolled, since the hard one is not good, then come to the soft one, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since there is the prince gold medal, it may be a misunderstanding, but what!" I'm doing it routinely, maybe the information is wrong, so be it! I won't search anymore, and I guarantee your personal safety, but please go with me to the barracks, as long as it is verified, I will immediately release people and boats, and apologize, please! ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered: "Go back to the barracks!" ”

The silver ship had been firmly controlled by the army, the sails had been torn down, the oars had been unloaded, and five military ships dragged it with thick ropes towards the naval barracks at the mouth of the Daqing River.

......... Daqing River is also called Ji River, is an important river second only to the Yellow River in Qizhou, only more than 50 miles away from the Yellow River, the two rivers flow in parallel, and finally flow into the sea, the river port barracks of the Qinghe Water Army are located near the mouth of the Daqing River, about 20 miles away from the mouth of the sea, is an inlet covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres.

The Qinghe Navy is the largest naval army in Qizhou, with a garrison of 3,000 people, more than 200 large and small warships, and the silver ship entered the inlet, Wu Huazhen put down his heart, he has completed eighty percent of the tasks assigned by the King of Qi, at least one million taels of silver can not run away, as for how to deal with these people, he wants to ask the King of Qi, and there will be an envoy from the King of Qi in these two days.

The silver-carrying ship was quietly docked at a wharf, but Ming was extremely worried, pacing back and forth on the deck with his hands behind his back, and when he entered the military port, he was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

When he saw that Wujin was not in a hurry, and Chen Ying was pointing to the military port, he was in a hurry, so he stepped forward and complained: "Wujin, why are you not in a hurry at all, what should we do with our tax silver?" ”

Wu Jin shook his head and said, "Big brother, you don't have to think about it anymore, the sails and oars have been removed, unless we can find a few hundred people to move fifty large boxes of silver to another big ship, otherwise, we will definitely not be able to take away the tax silver." ”

Wei Ming was stunned, there was no tax silver, how could he explain to the prince, how to explain to Lord Su, Wu Jin knew that he was in turmoil, so he smiled and persuaded him: "Big brother, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, King Qi is not the king of Chu after all, besides, this is tax silver, and it was intercepted by the army, King Qi does not dare to swallow it privately, he will either return the tax silver to Donghai County, or obediently release it into Beijing to the household department, but if he really dares to do this, he will have a deep enmity with the prince, so I judge that the king of Qi is going to use this tax silver to negotiate with the prince, Get what he wants, so in the end the crown prince still gets the tax silver. ”

"But ......."

Wei Ming wanted to say that my credit was gone, but when he saw Chen Ying on the side, his lips moved, and he didn't say it in the end.

Wu Jin understood what he wanted to say, and smiled faintly: "Without soldiers and no generals, with just one dart game, it is already a great merit for the eldest brother to be able to transport the tax silver to the mouth of the Yellow River." ”

At this time, Chen Ying suddenly said beside her: "They're here!" ”

Wu Jin looked back, the deputy general Zhao Xun walked on the boat with hundreds of people, he was very polite, and gave a salute to Wei Ming and Wu Jin, "This is an important place for the navy, no one is allowed to stay on the boat, please follow me off the boat!" ”

Now that the oars and sails have been removed, there is no point in staying on this ship, Wu Jin stepped forward and asked, "May I ask the general, what should we do with our belongings?" ”

Zhao Xun nodded, "Except for weapons, you can't take your belongings!" ”

Wu Jin gave an order, and everyone took their belongings and disembarked, and an officer next to him asked strangely: "General Zhao, didn't Captain Wu say that you are not allowed to take anything off the ship?" ”

Zhao Xun glared at him fiercely, "Here I have the final say, what kind of mouth do you have!" ”

The officer was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more, and Zhao Xun arched his hand to everyone, "Please!" Please come with me. ”

He led the people to the shore, and when they came ashore, they came in a few wagons to a row of wooden houses, which seemed to be warehouses, about two or three miles from the wharf, with a small river behind them, and the barracks at their right, consisting of dozens of rows of brick houses.

Zhao Xun opened the door and smiled at everyone: "Let's rest here first!" Wu Duwei went to check the information, and if the check was correct, he would let everyone leave immediately. ”

Everyone took a look at the warehouse and saw that it was dark inside, where was the rest, it was clearly a detention, but more than two hundred soldiers around were holding bows and crossbows, they couldn't resist, so they had to walk into the warehouse, Wu Jin walked last, Zhao Xun patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "The conditions are simple, I will do it, if there is any need, just put it forward." ”

At the moment when he finished patting Wu Jin on the shoulder, Wu Jin felt a note stuffed into his hand, he didn't show his face, nodded and thanked, "Thank you, General!" ”

He walked into the warehouse, and several soldiers immediately slammed the warehouse shut, and the warehouse suddenly became pitch black.

"Damn, this is clearly holding us in?"

Chen Biao broke open and scolded, and his brother Chen Hu also hated and scolded: "The knife is gone!" ”

Chen Ying laughed, "It's weird! They said they weren't allowed to bring weapons, but my spunlace was in my bag. ”

"Me too, my dagger in my boot."

Everyone gossiped, "My dagger is also in the bag, and they didn't search for it." ”

Almost everyone has a dagger with them, and Wu Jin also laughed, his ironwood crossbow could be disassembled, and he didn't take it away in his bag, it seems that this general surnamed Zhao is not generally considerate of them.

He still had a note in his hand and was about to open it, when Chen Zhu walked up and pulled him, "I have something to say to you." ”

The two of them walked to a corner near the door, there was a little light here, and Chen Zhu whispered, "I feel that this deputy general surnamed Zhao seems to be helping us." ”

"Do you feel it too?"

Chen Zhu nodded, "Since you showed the crown prince's gold medal on the boat, I found that his face was not quite right, he didn't really take away our weapons, and even he locked us in the warehouse, I felt that he was helping us, Wu Jin, did you find it, there is a small river behind the warehouse." ”

Wu Jin smiled slightly, "You're right, he also stuffed me with a note." ”

Chen Zhu was overjoyed, "What did you say on the note?" ”

At this time, their eyes were already able to adapt to the darkness of the warehouse, Wu Jin took out the note, opened it, and saw a sentence written on it: The envoy of the King of Qi is coming, and he will leave quickly at night.

Wu Jin frowned, this sentence was equivalent to not saying it, he gave the note to Chen Zhu again, Chen Zhu looked at it, pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe he doesn't know how to help us now." ”

Wu Jin nodded, Chen Zhu was right, maybe this general surnamed Zhao couldn't think of any way to help them for the time being, but at least one thing was certain, their situation was very dangerous.

Everyone sat on the ground, little by little, waiting for news from each other, and soon, night gradually fell, but the other party did not look for them, but increased the defenders, nailed the only crack above the door, and more than a hundred heavily armed soldiers watched over them.

The sky was completely dark, the warehouse had no windows, and it was even darker inside, and nothing could be seen, at this time Chen Hu said in a low voice: "It's okay!" ”

Everyone quickly stepped forward, there was a hole three feet high and two feet wide in the corner of the wall, the wall was a brick wall, Chen Biao and Chen Hu brothers only took an hour to chisel open, you can see the small river outside, the small river is about one zhang wide.

Wu Jin took off his robe and said with a smile: "I'll investigate first and see if I can get some weapons back." ”

"I'll go with you!"

Chen Ying walked up, she grabbed Wu Jin's wrist, for fear that he would slip away alone, "One more person will take care of one more thing." ”

"Okay!" Wu Jin agreed, and he said to everyone: "We will be back in an hour at the latest, no matter what happens, everyone must be calm." ”
