Chapter 573: Heaven and Earth
"For your big-headed ghost."
"Do you want to give it?" Fang Shan asked with a sinking face.
"Don't give it!" Chen Jiaju shouted like crazy.
"Humph! Your Chen family has millions of wealth, and 20,000 silver is only 2% of your money, and you are reluctant to give you a mountain of gold, and you will have no life to enjoy. ”
Lin Qingqing shook his head, lowered his face and said, "The surname is Fang, aren't you intent on robbing and blackmailing?" ”
"Girl, that day at Zhangjiang Wharf, I was beaten more than a dozen times in a row, 20,000 silver, which is completely in line with the principles of heaven and China. Since you don't want to give it, I have no choice but to kill people and set fires. Fang Shan said coldly, the long sword Xu Ti.
Suddenly, on the steps of the hall in the distance, a middle-aged woman appeared and shouted here: "Twenty thousand silver, the old man agreed." ”
"Auntie, ...... you," Lin Qingqing exclaimed.
"Give it to him." The middle-aged woman said loudly.
Fang Shan snorted and said loudly, "Sister-in-law Chen, you are finally a white friend. ”
"When will you come to get the silver?" Sister-in-law Chen asked.
"Give you two days to exchange silver for gold."
"The two-day deadline is too urgent, the old body sells the property, and it is not easy to get rid of it in a short period of time, can you give some time?"
Fang Shan smiled faintly and said, "I don't want to be strong, you are generous, and I am not stingy." You Chen Lin and the two families, you don't have to sell the property, there is no difficulty in raising 20,000 yuan of silver, three days later, at dusk, please prepare a boat, put the gold, and launch the boat from the river outside the victory gate, and no one is allowed on the boat. Remember: First, don't report to the police. Second, if the payment is not made on time, the village will be razed to the ground. The last thing is that Ling Lang is ready to frame Xiong Sanye, and dispel this idea as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a flying disaster. Sister-in-law Chen, I hope you don't forget. Farewell, there will be a period later. ”
After Fang Shan finished speaking, he turned his head and walked out of the courtyard gate, strode out of the village, and walked away under the gaze of hundreds of men, women, and children.
Lin Qingqing hated it in her heart. Exclaimed, "Humph! I don't have a golden bow in my hand today, damn it. ”
Chen Jiaju grabbed the eyebrow stick, pulled out his legs and made a gesture to chase.
"Stop!" Sister-in-law Chen shouted angrily
"Mother......
"Brute! You don't want to die in a hurry, why don't you go and get your father back? Sister-in-law Chen shouted hatefully.
The news of Fang Shan's blackmailing of the Chen family spread like a thunderbolt, blowing through the surrounding boundaries like a storm, bringing this shocking news.
Everyone who doesn't know Fang Shan is thinking: What the hell is this Fang Shan. Those who know are also asking: Fang Shan, have you become a Jiangyang thief?
The strange thing is that there is no movement in the official mansion, and it seems that such a big news has not reached the ears of the officials.
Of course, the Chen family did not report the case.
The nearby underworld tycoons, and the water thieves who rely on water in Poyang Lake, are very surprised, how dare this guy from other places break ground on Tai Sui's head here?
In the gorgeous flower hall of Maoyuan Oil Mill, the fire is blazing, warm as spring, and the guests are like clouds.
The master Chen Maoyuan is quite famous in the local area, but he can't get on the stage in the martial arts, so Lin Zhen, the famous arrow in the martial arts, is also one of the masters, and the two brothers-in-law jointly invited the heroes of the rivers and lakes to come to discuss countermeasures.
Among the guests, including most of the surrounding masters, the main characters are the iron-backed dragon Gu Datong, the flying rainbow swordsman Zeng Hua, the mountain tiger Li Qishan, and the double-headed eagle Zhao Dapeng. The first master of Baihuazhou Martial Arts Hall, the local famous martial artist Qiankun double-palmed Cheng Wei, the owner of Jinxian Village Yuan Ji, and the five-clawed dragon Zhang Wentian of the Zhang family of Yi Vulgar Fang, can be said to be all together. It's not lively.
The iron-backed Canglong is worthy of being called the old Jianghu, and said cautiously to the master: "Brother Chen thinks that Master Xiong has already contained that Fang Shan, and it was he who instructed Fang Shan to come forward to extort money, after my analysis, this is not true." The brother thinks that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Xiong Sanye. ”
Wan Wanxiong also said: "After the incident at Zhangjiang Wharf that day, Xiong Sanye was not lightly injured, Fang Shan sent him to Xinglong Stack, he was already groggy, Fang Shan did not wait for him to say something, handed over the package and returned to the ship, and then the brother listened to the words of Chen and Lin, and immediately dismissed Fang Shan, and since then this person has disappeared. Xiong Sanye also sent people to interview Fang Shan's whereabouts, and it was impossible for the two of them to collude. ”
The Feihong Swordsman said loudly: "Everyone, today we don't have to talk about the past anymore. It's still to discuss how to deal with this Fangshan person. He dares to openly extort huge sums of money in broad daylight, so put our locals in the spot? Of course, he must have something to fear, what we need to know is, who does he have as a backer, and what does he have to rely on? Let's deal with him with the right medicine. ”
"Maybe he's making false noises and ignoring them." Qiankun said coldly with his palms.
"Wouldn't it be bad if he hadn't made a false threat?" Lin Zhen said worriedly.
"Let's go live in Brother Chen's Zhuangzi for a few days." Divine whip Yuan Ji also made his own high statement.
Zhang Wentian, the five-clawed dragon of the old rivers and lakes, shook his head and said, "We can't live in Brother Chen's Zhuangzi for a long time, and this is not the solution. ”
"I hear your old opinion......" Lin Zhen asked politely.
"Lao Yu thinks that it is too late to investigate now, there is only a two-day deadline, and the far water can't save the near fire."
"Wen Lao thinks gold ......"
"You must prepare, not afraid of 10,000, just in case. This is a lone thief, a lonely ghost without an owner, it is not easy for us to find out his bottom, just in case, we must deal with it carefully. ”
"Prepare the gold ingot, let's lay a trap to capture him." The iron-backed dragon said with confidence.
The five-clawed dragon Zhang Wentian smiled and said, "Yes, it should be executed like this." ”
"How to start." Divine Whip Yuan Ji asked.
"That kid's two conditions, one is that he is not allowed to report to the official, and no one is allowed on the ship, and he does not mean that no one is allowed on other ships. Let's just ambush him by land and water, and we're not afraid that he will fly into the sky. ”
"You don't have to ...... on land"
"No, there must be someone on land. When the boat is lowered from the bank of the Shengmen River, it must drift down the east bank of the river downstream, and it is very close to the shore, so how can there be no one on the shore to watch? Let's go hand in hand by land and water, and lay a net of heaven and earth. In the water is the responsibility of the brothers. Twenty centipede ships are more than enough. On land, Lin Lao is in charge of dispatching, and how to track and ambush must be planned in detail. Underwater, you have to work for Brother Gu, the iron-backed dragon. ”
The iron-backed Canglong patted his chest and said arrogantly: "Ten fast boats, a hundred water ghosts, brothers are responsible for making do." Should arrive soon. ”
Lin Zhen also said with confidence: "Such a large amount of gold, as long as it is not stacked but evenly placed, he will never be able to move it alone, let's just wait for it on the shore." If he doesn't come, he will definitely not escape the catastrophe. ”
After discussing for a long time, every detail of all the details was carefully studied and assumed repeatedly. Three stinkers, like a Zhuge Liang, worked together to plan each other and made a proper arrangement. Finally, the event ended with a feast of several tables, and the guests and hosts dispersed happily.
There is only one person who is not happy, and that is the owner of Sanjiang Boat Company. During the banquet, the heroes asked him about the details of Fang Shan, but he couldn't say anything. I only know that this person is a sailor hired by the owner of the ship, Hu Laoda, a countryman with natural powers, his background is unknown, and his roots are like a mystery.
Originally, he had already resisted Maoyuan Stack and broke off friendship with Maoyuan Oil Mill, just because the iron-backed Canglong came out to play a round and involved him in the whirlpool, so he was very unhappy.
He was unhappy in his heart, so he was naturally full of complaints, and after returning home, he said this to his son Wan Biao, and the father and son borrowed wine together at night to eliminate their sorrows.
But he didn't know that there were night walkers in the house tonight.
It's been three days in a row. All the residences of the heroes are visited by a mysterious night walker. But these famous people are not aware of it at all.
The three-day deadline has finally arrived, and the wind is tight.
At dusk, the victory door is relaxed outside and inside, and there are few idlers nearby. Only the eight healthy servants sent by the Chen family, under the command of the Shaodong family, carried the gold ingots and walked to the small boat anchored on the riverbank.
There are still more than miles away from the riverbank mooring, and the trail passes through a bamboo forest. The river breeze is cold, the bamboo branches rub against each other, and the creaking sound is like a ghost crying, which makes people's scalp numb and creepy.
It was not yet dark, but the night was hazy and cold. Nine had four burdens, and eight sturdy wooden chests, each of which was filled with gold. Including the chests, the weight is already close to half a ton, and it is impossible for a god to get eight boxes of gold without knowing it.
Walk into the depths of the bamboo forest. Eeriely ghostly.
Chen Jiaju took the lead and led the way with a waist knife. The first two people took the lead, the four burdens were in the middle, and the last two people raised their knives to prevent forks on the road, and the nine people were all first-class masters, among which the two people after the break, there was a famous martial artist Qiankun double-palmed Cheng Wei, wearing Zhuang Ding's clothes and pants. No one would believe that he would be a master.
As he was walking, Chen Jiaju suddenly: "Ouch! I have a stomachache. ”
As soon as he stopped, so did the people behind him.
A middle-aged strong man in the lead hurriedly grabbed the help and asked urgently: "Virtuous nephew." What's wrong? ”
Chen Jiaju squatted down with his stomach in his arms, his stomach gurgling, and then there was a string of beads like a fart, and the smell was overflowing. He bared his teeth and shouted, "I've eaten badly, I probably have a stomach upset, so I need to find a convenient place." ”
"Let's stop and rest." The middle-aged man called.
"I want to ...... It's convenient to ......," Chen Jiaju shouted, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one and ran into the bamboo forest on the side of the road with his stomach in his hand.
Then one of the porters also exclaimed, "Ouch! Stomach pain...... Painful ......"
"Wow......" The second porter started vomiting.
Vomiting and diarrhea, these nine brothers are all suffering from the epidemic. The epidemic is contagious, it's just weird. How can you get an epidemic on a cold day?
Nine people vomited and diarrhea in the forest for a while, fainted to the ground, and did not know where the world was, and they were very embarrassed. Until it was dark, they were fully awake, like defeated roosters, staggering to carry the golden burden to the riverbank.
There were four people on board, and they couldn't stop complaining that they arrived too late.
The gold box is placed and stopped, and three large incense sticks are inserted in the bow of the boat, and the cable is immediately untied, and the boat is pushed outward. The boat drifted slowly down the river.
The first eight-general centipede ship rowed through the outside, followed by the second.
In the distance downstream, the first clipper began to set sail.
Half a mile downstream, the first group of three people who were in ambush on the beach, stared at the incense that gradually drifted, and one of them said: "The boat is almost drifting, water ghosts, look sharper." ”
The boat drifts very slowly, does not spin in the water, sometimes is brought close to the river bank, sometimes it is sucked by the vortex, and it is slowly drifting.
In the water, the heads of people are hidden from time to time, and sixty water ghosts are distributed around the boat, with the ups and downs, closely monitoring the surface and underwater, each in place, and it is impossible for people to mix in.
After drifting for a long time, the boat only drifted down about three miles.
The centipede boat and the clipper boat kept shuttling up and down, monitoring the river surface for five miles up and down, and paying attention to suspicious ships coming and going.
In fact, the ships that come and go in the middle of the night have their own work, so what about the ships that dock? There's no need to worry about it.
A small boat sailed up from the downstream, sailing up the coast, and only one of the boatmen on board skillfully handled the oars and approached the gold collector.
The centipede boat and the people on board the clipper boat did not stop them. The light came out, and on the surface, underwater, and on the shore, all the people began to be nervous, and their blood was boiling with excitement, and it was finally here. It was a small fishing boat, but it didn't have a fishing lantern.
The fishing boat gradually approached the gold boat, closer. The boatman who operated the oars seemed to be in good spirits, and sang while operating the oars: "On February 2nd, Le Long raised his head, love sister, and sent his brother down to Jiangzhou." Love brother! The scenery of Jiangzhou is so good, and the daughters there are so delicate. But don't forget, the little sister is in the morning and twilight, and the twilight is in the ......."
The song of the Tibetan gold boat will be heard again: "In February, the dragon raises its head, and the little widow is sullen and sad at home." ……”
The shadow of the singing boat crossed the outer side of the gold treasure ship for about thirty meters, and it seemed that he did not pay attention to the gold treasure ship.
Everyone rejoiced, and their hearts were slack.
The ship was still drifting downward, and seemed to be silent.
"Ah......" In the upper reaches of the river, there was a sudden piercing roar, which made people feel shocked.
The mood of the crowd was tense, and they were as shocked as if they had been shocked.
A light came from upstream: a ship was released along the shore.
The light kept coming, and everyone's hearts tightened.
It was a small fishing boat with a canopy, drifting steadily downward at a slightly faster speed than the current, and the night was as dark as ink, and the light and shadow on the boat could not be seen clearly, but only a faint figure sat in the back of the boat, neither oars nor people, so the boat was not stable, and it was staggering and drifting downward, only faster than the gold boat.
Surpassing the first centipede ship, the heroes on board were deeply surprised, why was the man in the back not in control of the boat? Twenty feet away, there was a sudden commotion in a clipper, and someone shouted: "It's not good, the ship is sinking, quickly check the bilge." ”
There is no need to check, the ship is sinking rapidly, and in just a moment, there are only some debris floating on the water, and everyone is in the water, and it is a mess.
In the midst of the chaos, the sound of the water was like thunder, and a centipede boat thirty meters away suddenly came to a big roll, and ten big men were caught off guard, all of them fell into the river, and were turned over inexplicably.
The mysterious boat sailed straight for the gold boat.
After capsizing the two ships, the five-clawed dragon was furious and sent out a signal, ordering the water ghosts to immediately stand on guard and prepare to seize the mysterious boat.
The underwater water ghosts swam towards the mysterious boat, and this time, the formation was chaotic, and some people sank one after another.
"Oh......" Finally, a water ghost let out a cry, sank down, and immediately disappeared.
