Chapter One Hundred and One--King Six
Ningbo has been a rich place since ancient times, with a large number of merchants, and sea trade is very prosperous, and there is the strong support of the Donglin Party, which can be called one of the richest places in the Ming Dynasty in this era.
But this wealth finally attracted the attention of the robbers......
Wang Liu, who was in charge of carrying bags on the dock, was often in contact with all kinds of people, and at this time he had sensitively felt that the atmosphere in Ningbo Mansion was a little wrong!
Wang Liu also told his brothers what he was thinking, but he was helplessly exchanged for a wave of ridicule!
Wang Liu, who was very uneasy, wanted to leave the dock and wait for Ningbo to completely restore calm and come back again.
But when he found the steward and just said that he wanted to leave temporarily, he was poured a bucket of cold water on the spot!
"If you kid leaves, you won't have to come back......"
Thinking about the wife and children who were waiting to be fed in his hometown, Wang Liu instantly dispelled the idea of wanting to avoid trouble, don't look at the hard work of carrying a bag at the dock, but some people want to carry it, but they haven't got this opportunity yet, under the threat of the steward, Wang Liu can only say succumb!
If Zhang Yun knows, Wang Liu's mood at this moment, then he can only sigh: This is the sadness of the little people, this kind of knowing that danger is coming, but there is no way, only the mood of stubbornly carrying it, Zhang Yun has experienced this kind of thing more than once when he was a dick in the later life!
For example, the employees of the explosives factory......
Although he couldn't leave the dock for the time being, Wang Liu had a lot of eyes since then, and he had a little more observation of the big men who had come down from the sea boats in recent days, as well as the long cloth bags they carried.
It's just that the more he observes, the more frightened Wang Liu becomes!
Because these days, just the big men who got off the boat from the small dock where they stayed, the number may be more than a few thousand, and they are not empty-handed, look at the long cloth bag that everyone carries, fools know that it is a weapon, not to mention that Wang Liu is not stupid.
Wang Liu actually reminded his companions and stewards, but he once again attracted a ridicule for him, and since then, Wang Liu has been silent a lot, and even his work has a long heart, and he always refuses to work with all his strength, always leaving three points of spare strength for himself, and always ready to respond.
For this reason, even if he is scolded by the steward, alienated by his peers, and has a reputation as a lazy man, he will not hesitate!
Originally, if it went on like this, Wang Liu was afraid that he would not be able to mix it up soon, but soon his precautions would play a role......
There is a mountain villa a few hundred meters away near the wharf, the owner's surname is Huang, hundreds of acres of land around Ningbo Mansion, it can be called the first big landlord in Ningbo Mansion, and there are more than a dozen sea boats, the rich family is not the same, I heard that even rinsing in the morning, are the use of high-grade tea......
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this family surnamed Huang is deeply connected with the Donglin Party, and many of the children of his family are officials, not to mention how it is in Ningbo Mansion...... Even in the whole of Zhejiang, it is also quite powerful!
Originally, no matter how good this family was, it had nothing to do with Wang Liu, the wharf contractor.
It's just that the gang of suspected robbers won't leave as soon as they get here, near the dock, there are actually no valuables, it will be worth their strongmen's shot, Wang Liu knows this, so where is their goal? You can imagine it!
And the warehouse where they live, if they want to go to this rich family surnamed Huang, they must pass by the residence of the coolies who carry bags at the dock, because this is the nearest route, and how will they choose?
Once you wait for your coolie brothers and block the path of those strongmen, what will those strongmen do? Wang Liu really doesn't know!
After a few days of observation, Wang Liu felt that these people did not look like good people, more and more like robbers, anyway, they stayed in this vicinity, and they definitely did not come to do serious work.
Therefore, these days, Wang Liu has been paying attention to the behavior of those big men intentionally or unintentionally, even if he sleeps at night, Wang Liu does not dare to sleep too deeply, just tonight, these people seem to have abnormal movements......
The night was already deep, because he was on guard, and Wang Liu, who didn't sleep too hard, suddenly heard a little strange noise at this time, according to usual, Wang Liu must have turned his back and continued to sleep, but tonight Wang Liu suddenly woke up!
Without trying to wake anyone up, Wang Liu chose to get up quietly in the dark, not daring to open the door, but looking out through the crack in the door.
The scene that caught his eye made Wang Liu almost scream, and after reacting, Wang Liu stretched out his right hand and covered his mouth stiffly.
I saw that four or five meters away outside another small wooden house, at this time there were already more than a dozen figures, the reflection of the moonlight of the steel knife was very frightening, a moment later someone quietly opened the wooden door, the door made of thick wood made a little noise......
Wang Liu stared at it deadly, only listening to a few muffled sounds, and then a dozen or so people came out of the wooden house, Wang Liu saw clearly, the original white steel knife had been stained with blood at this time, so the muffled sound just now?
After making up everything that had happened in the wooden house opposite just now, Wang Liu felt like his whole body had been fished out of water, and he couldn't move his feet a little!
Seeing more than a dozen people walking towards him, Wang Liu finally woke up, forcibly suppressed the fear of death, and did not dare to wake up his sleeping companion recklessly, but crawled into the bed step by step, and at the same time his right hand that was covering his mouth never let go......
"Click......"
The wooden door had been opened, and the moonlight like water shone in, Wang Liu felt that the light in the room had strengthened a little, so the hand covering his mouth was even harder, lying under the bed, not daring to move!
No one spoke, just a sound of violently struggling as if someone was covering their mouths and noses, followed by the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the quilt, this sound was not loud, just like the sound from the small cabin opposite just now, Wang Liulao couldn't help but make up in his head, the bad luck that the Gao Fu brothers lying on the bed were encountering, and a strong feeling of fear and a strong desire for life couldn't help but rise in his heart!
The man in black moved quickly, as if he had just been in the cabin opposite, and soon, only to hear a chaotic footsteps walk out, and only the sound of blood falling down the room remained.
"Whirring ......"
After making sure that he was safe for the time being, Wang Liuliu gasped for breath, feeling that his whole body had lost his strength, as if he had been fished out of water.
It wasn't until he lay down for a few more minutes that he gradually regained a little strength, climbed out of the bottom of the bed and quickly came to his bedside......
