The peasant couple left Qiujin Town and turned a small road towards the Jianchang River.

When they came to the river, it was already evening, and most of the boatmen fishing on the river had collected their sails and returned home. The man with the hoe threw down the hoe and sat down on the sand.

"I'm so tired, I can't imagine this hoe is so heavy!" Xu Liang, who was dressed as a farmer, said bitterly.

"I see that you are the eldest young master born in a rich and noble family, and for the first time in my life, I picked up a hoe, ouch, this way the hoe danced, and this girl was dazzled in the back." The peasant woman, naturally, was also Dai Yingying, and said with a smile.

"Hey, you really said it, Young Master Ben really hasn't done any farm work when he was a child. Alas, now that I think about it, I really miss the good times of that time, clothes to stretch out, food to open mouth, as long as you study well all day long, you don't have to worry about anything else. Xu Liang looked at the river, showed a look of fascination, and sighed: "It's like now, worry about it every day, and always guard against the traps and assassinations in the open and in the dark. ”

"My Lord Xu, are you poor enough, we should go, this girl might as well sue you, the leader of that gang is a stakeholder, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide it from them for a long time." Dai Yingying interrupted Xu Liang's words and urged. ”

Xu Liang stood up and said disapprerovingly: "What if that grandson finds out?" We're all so far away from Yunshan, how can he know where we've gone. Besides, if you look at this river, it's cleaner than the robbers have looted, and we can't even see the shadow of a boat. ”

Speaking of boats, Dai Yingying was also worried, and echoed: "Yes, there are usually so many boats coming and going on this river, why can't I see a boat now?" Ay...... Isn't that a boat? It's a boat! ”

Xu Liang looked in the direction that Dai Yingying said, and saw a water bend a hundred meters away, and half of the ship's string was exposed in the reeds. At that moment, the two were overjoyed and hurriedly ran over.

When I came to the side of the boat, I saw that it was a fishing boat with nets by the river, and the owner of the boat was actually a middle-aged woman. When Xu Liang and the others arrived, the woman was boiling water to make dinner, and when she saw Xu Liang and the others, the woman walked up to the bow of the boat, wiped the water stains on her clothes with both hands, and asked suspiciously: "Little brother, big sister, it's so late, why are you still by the river?" But do you want to cross the river by boat? ”

Xu Liang squeezed out a smile and nodded again and again: "Auntie, your vision is really good." He pulled Dai Yingying over and said with a little shame: "We are from Qiujin Town, this is my sister, we want to take your boat to the foot of the mountain." ”

"Oh?" The woman looked at Dai Yingying and said, "You are really brothers and sisters, why don't you look like them at all?" ”

Xu Liang said embarrassedly: "It's my sister, cough, sister...... Alas! ”

Dai Yingying stomped on Xu Liang's shoe with hatred.

"Oh!" The woman seemed to understand, and asked, "Then what are you going to do at the foot of the mountain?" ”

"Go home!"

"Go relatives!"

Xu Liang and Dai Yingying said at the same time.

The woman laughed, "You two are really interesting, okay, I am also from here, I understand!" ”

"Hehe, it's good that you understand, auntie." Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly asked, "Then look, when will this ship be able to leave?" Auntie, as long as you give us a ride, we will be grateful when we get to the place. ”

The woman spread her hands and was embarrassed, "I can send it, but I can't leave, my man has gone to the town to buy wine, and he will have to come back for dinner later, and I am cooking for him." ”

Xu Liang was anxious, and in a blink of an eye he saw the basket that Dai Yingying was carrying in his left hand, took it and put it on the table, lifted the covered cloth, revealing half a basket of eggs, Xu Liang pushed the basket in front of the woman, and said sincerely: "Auntie, you see, we are in a hurry to come out of the house, and we didn't bring anything valuable for a while, what about this basket of eggs, it should be regarded as a deposit for us to rent your boat, and when we get to the place, I will pay you ten taels of silver, do you think it?" ”

When the woman heard that Xu Liang was going to give her eggs, her expression became vivid, and when she heard that there were still ten taels of silver, she was even more moved. She glanced at the eggs in the basket, thought for a while, and nodded: "Middle, little brother, auntie, I'm going to put out the stove and send you two to the foot of the mountain." ”

Xu Liang was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Dai Yingying also thanked her: "Thank you so much, aunt, it's just that the uncle won't be able to eat when he comes back in a while, I'm really sorry." ”

The woman waved her hand and said indifferently: "What does the eldest sister say, the dead ghost in my family eats like a pig all day long, and he will not starve to death if he eats one less meal!" Your business matters, the wind is strong on the river, go and sit tight in the cabin! Auntie, let's go sail! ”

Xu Liang and the others thanked each other again. There were some fishnet clothes piled up in the cabin, and there was a faint smell of fish. The two of them found a clean place to sit, and then they felt the hull of the boat move, and the boat opened.

"This lady is really a warm-hearted and good person!" Dai Yingying said.

Xu Liang listened, snorted, and was noncommittal.

"Hey, Master Xu, what do you mean by humming?" Dai Yingying glared and shouted.

"It's not interesting!" Xu Liang leaned his head into the pile of clothes, looked at the top of the warehouse, and said, "I don't know if the eldest lady is enthusiastic, I only know that we paid a lot of money for this boat!" Half a basket of eggs plus ten taels of silver, this is really not cheap! ”

It is undeniable that this woman is really good at holding the boat, and in the direction of the current, although the sail has not started, the boat is fast and steady, and the kung fu boat has passed the Jianchang Wharf in half an hour.

After another tea time, the ship slowed down and stopped.

Xu Liang and the others walked out of the cabin in surprise to see what was going on, it was already dark on the river, and many fishing boats docked at the riverside lit torches.

The woman was also embarrassed, she rubbed her hands and said, "I originally wanted to send you to the foot of the mountain earlier, but I didn't think that it was all this time, the patrol boat of the patrol battalion was still on the river, and they wanted to get on the boat to check it." ”

As he was talking, five soldiers of the patrol battalion jumped onto the boat, and the leading captain held a torch in front of Xu Liang and asked, "The patrol battalion is on an errand!" What do you do? If you don't go home after dark, where are you going? ”

Xu Liang and Dai Yingying glanced at each other, and Dai Yingying winked at Xu Liang with some amusement.

Xu Liang raised his sleeves to wipe the mud foam off his face, turned his face to the five patrol battalion soldiers, and shouted: "Bold! When you see Lord Ben, don't hurry up and see you! ”

One sentence frightened the soldiers of the five patrol battalions into retreating three or four steps in a row, and the captain stepped forward in surprise to carefully look at the tall and thin peasant in shabby clothes in front of him, and when he saw his face clearly, there was a clang, and the Pu knife in his hand fell to the plank.

"I've seen an adult!" Wu Chang bowed his head and clenched his fists, and made a standard salute.

"I've seen my lord!" Seeing this, the other four soldiers hurriedly followed suit.

The woman holding the boat was dumbfounded!

The camp of the patrol camp was still as bright as day. On the avenue directly opposite the camp gate, a hundred meters away, Xu Liang and Dai Yingying walked in front, and the five patrolling soldiers followed closely behind them with excited faces.

Xu Liang shouted backwards: "Eh, Zhao Sure enough, come here!" ”

The Wu Chang behind him hurriedly walked to Xu Liang's side and shouted, "Mark it down." ”

"You just said that Deputy Envoy Huang caught the leader of the Sky Wolf Gang?"

"Exactly!" Zhao Wuchang nodded and said, "Lord Huang is afraid that there are still the subordinates of the Wolf Gang Leader on the river, so he ordered the small ones to be under martial law throughout the river and strictly check the passing ships. ”

"Hmm." Xu Liang nodded and said approvingly: "You did a good job today, did you give the boatman's silver?" ”

"If you return to your lordship, give it!" Zhao Wu said.

"How much was given?" Dai Yingying on the side interjected and asked.

"According to the orders of the adults, ten taels of silver, not much for nothing, not a lot for nothing!" Zhao Wu said.

"Huh?" Dai Yingying glared at the phoenix and reprimanded angrily: "You little soldier is so bold, you dare to open your eyes in front of Lord Xu and say nonsense, and deceive Lord Xu!" This girl is so big, I have never heard of a soldier who can dig out ten taels of silver from his pocket! ”

"What's going on? Say! When Xu Liang heard this, he suddenly became suspicious, and asked with a straight face.

Zhao Wuchang immediately called out to hit the sky, "My lord and Captain Dai Rongyu, marked a real ten taels of silver, the old woman refused to accept it at first, and it was marked and forced into her hand." ”

He said aggrievedly: "Captain Dai is right, just rely on the standard of a person can not get ten taels of silver, this morning just issued this month's salary, the brothers did not have time to go to the city to save money was sent to the river to inspect, this silver, is the mark and the mark of these brothers together." ”

"Yes, my lord," explained the other soldiers behind him, "the money was collected by a small group of five." ”

When Xu Liang heard this, his expression eased, he stopped and looked at Zhao Wuchang, and said apologetically: "So, I blame you by mistake!" You're good. He turned to the other soldiers and nodded, "You're all good!" ”

"When I return to the camp in a while, I will be rewarded with ten taels of silver per person!" Xu Liang said loudly.

"Thank you, sir!"

Several generals in the patrol battalion greeted Xu Liang in surprise and entered the meeting hall. As soon as Xu Liang told the generals about the assassination incident on Yunshan, everyone was extremely angry and shouted that they were going to destroy the two brothers of the Tan family.

Xu Liang stopped the momentum of revenge with a single sentence.

"Even if the official knows that the person surnamed Tan is sent, we have no evidence, and this matter has to be considered in the long run."

"Is that all?" Xu Qing, the camp guard officer, shouted with red eyes: "My lord, this surnamed Tan has not wanted to harm you once or twice!" ”

"I know!" Xu Liang hated so much that his teeth itched, and he almost squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!" ”

After stabilizing the feelings of the generals, Xu Liang asked Huang Ziren about the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Gang.

Huang Ziren, the deputy envoy of the patrol and the first general manager, heard Xu Liang ask, and immediately raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows fluttered, and he shouted with his hands dancing: "Big brother, do you remember the dead traitor Tong Jun I once said?" Haha, this old boy used the next means to take Lao Tzu's position, I thought it would be difficult to find him to take revenge, I didn't expect that today I went to the Jianchang River checkpoint to inspect, and I happened to see this old boy take a boat into the Jianchang River, grandma's, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is not happy, this is really good, until I put the old boy into the patrol camp, he probably didn't come back to his senses, haha, relieved, really fucking relieved! ”

Xu Liang was stunned, he didn't expect this Tong Jun to be so unlucky. When Huang Ziren was finished, he asked suspiciously: "He turned over the grass king on Yang Lake, he didn't stay in the lake, what did he do in Jianchang?" ”

Huang Ziren pursed his lips and said, "This old boy didn't say it, but I dug up some news from his subordinates, it turns out that this kid wants to join forces with the Tiger Gang, and it seems that he wants to make a big deal." ”

"What good deal can he make with the Tigers...... Wait, the Tigers?! Xu Liang jumped up in surprise and asked happily: "Where is Tong Junguan, take me quickly!" ”

The generals looked at each other and watched Xu Liang trot and follow Huang Ziren to the prison to see Tong Jun, the leader of the wolf gang that day.

An hour later, Xu Liang and Huang Ziren reappeared in the chamber. Xu Liang glanced at the generals who were still in the council hall, strode to the main seat and sat down, and shouted coldly: "The generals listen to the order!" ”

Although the generals of the patrol battalion didn't understand what Xu Liang and Huang Ziren said in prison, when they saw Xu Liang's expression, they stood up and responded solemnly: "The last general!" ”

"Pass the order, all the officers and men of the patrol battalion, immediately equip, rush to Mawan tonight, and surround the Tiger Gang!"

"Yes!" The sound of drinking shook the roof.
