Chapter Seventy-Three: Superiority (II)
Due to the fact that there was too much private salt on the ship and the transportation time was relatively long, Wang Hu and Shao Lao Er had already walked into the boat to sit and drink tea, and when all the private salt was moved to the warehouse of the Yue Wolf Gang at the dock, the transaction would be officially completed.
"This is the old tree tea of Wushan Spring, Shao Lao Er, it seems that Doujiangzhai has a good environment recently, and he has made a lot of money, and he even got this kind of palace tea." Wang Hu grabbed the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.
"It's okay, my owner recently robbed an official boat on the Shaoyang River, these teas are all found by wearing them, if you like it, I can leave you a little." Shao Lao Er said with a smile.
"Haha, then the hall master is welcome." Wang Hu said.
The two of them were drinking happily when there was a sudden noise outside the cabin, and then a thug from the Wolf Gang ran in from outside.
"The big thing is not good, and the official came to check the illegal salt."
"What?"
Wang Hu and Shao Laoer's expressions changed greatly when they heard this, they traded many times at Doujiang Wharf, and they had never been checked by official people, how could there be a situation suddenly today?
"Master Tiger, what's going on? Didn't you open up the joints in the anti-smuggling mansion in Doudu? Why did people from the government come? Shao Lao Er asked.
"The hall master doesn't know what's going on, Shao Laoer, don't be impatient." Wang Hu said in a deep voice.
"Rest easy? You can tell you how much this shipment is worth? Shao Lao Er stood up, his face was extremely pale.
"Then you mean to suspect the master of the hall?" Wang Hu is not a good type, and when he saw Shao Lao's second face, his tone immediately became a little gloomy.
"God knows that your Yue Wolf Gang has been expanding in recent years, so you must have done a lot of things like black eating black, right?" Shao Lao Er continued to sarcastically.
"Shao Lao Er, don't spew blood here, my Wang Hu still needs this kind of indiscriminate means?" Wang Hu said, slapping his palm on the table, and the huge palm force easily shattered the rosewood table.
The atmosphere in the cabin was tense in an instant, and when the two sides were about to fight, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed in outside, and then, a young man dressed in military attache service came out in a row and shouted to the people inside: "The government checks according to routine, which of you is the person in charge of the ship?" ”
"Is that you?" Wang Hu recognized the person at a glance, and the other party was Yu Wentao, the chief catcher of the patrol team of Doudu Water Transport Mansion.
"Wang Hu, sure enough, it's your Yue Wolf Gang again." Both of them are old acquaintances, Yu Wentao stepped forward and warned unceremoniously: "Listen, I suspect that you are trading in smuggled salt, and now you are going to carry out a ship, this is the search approval of our Water Transport Mansion." ”
"Lord Yuwen, when did your Water Transport Mansion even grab the work of anti-smuggling?" Wang Hu's eyes were half narrowed, and he said sarcastically to Yu Wentao.
"You don't need to talk too much about the affairs of our government, you just need to cooperate obediently, people come, control the people on the ship, and search me inside and out." Yu Wentao didn't care about Wang Hu at all, and directly ordered his subordinates.
A large number of officers and soldiers entered the cabin and deck, and soon the workers who were carrying the illegal salt were stopped, and the illegal salt hidden in the porcelain was naturally also discovered.
"My lord, it's full of private salt, and it's preliminarily estimated to be about 20,000 catties." An officer and soldier walked up to Yu Wentao and reported.
"Good, very good." Yu Wentao's eyebrows fluttered when he heard the news, all along, he had been looking for evidence of the illegal behavior of the Yue Wolf Gang, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth today, he walked in front of Wang Hu and sneered: "Wang Hu, people have stolen goods, now what else do you have to say?" ”
"Haha......" Wang Hu chuckled twice, and suddenly, he slapped Yu Wentao's chest, "Want to catch me Wang Hu?" You don't have the qualifications yet! ”
"Bang!"
Under the huge impact, Yu Wentao crashed through the cabin and flew out, he fell to the dock outside, covered his chest and raised his head and shouted: "Come on, take down Wang Hu for me!" ”
"Whew!"
The officers and soldiers brought by Yu Wentao pulled out the lancets on their waists, and soon fought with the thugs of the Yue Wolf Gang, and in the chaos, Wang Hu jumped onto the deck with both feet.
"Rest and run!" Yu Wentao shouted and chased after him, raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Wang Hu's back valve.
"Yuwen Xiao'er, come if you have the ability, don't think that the hall master is afraid of you!" Wang Hu let out a sinister laugh, grabbed one of the officers and soldiers who intercepted him, killed him with one palm, and snatched his lancet.
The two quickly fought on the deck, their strength was equal, and every time the sword struck it, it would make a "sonorous" sound, and the internal force was agitated, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.
The rest of the Yue Wolf Gang thugs also fought with the officers and soldiers, and the entire dock resounded with a shout of killing, and the four of Lao Tan hid aside at this time and did not make a move, but secretly observed.
"How could there be officers and soldiers?" There was chaos not far from the flower farmer, and I couldn't help but cry.
"Isn't it a good thing for you to see these officers and soldiers here?" Yu Sheng seemed to think of something, and immediately turned his head to look at Lao Tan with a calm face.
"I'm just doing what a good citizen does." Lao Tan said with a faint smile.
"Good citizen? Will the good citizens join the Wolf Gang to collect the protection tax? Also, you betrayed Wang Hu, aren't you afraid that he will find out that you did it? Lin Meier rolled her eyes and said.
"That's right, didn't you say that you should find a way to get mixed up with the upper echelons of the Yue Wolf Gang? Now that we have betrayed the Viet Wolf Gang and reported them for selling illicit salt, isn't it the opposite of that? The flower farmer was puzzled.
"No, on the contrary, my purpose in doing this is to gain Wang Hu's trust, you see, our opportunity to take the throne has come." Lao Tan pointed in the direction on the deck and said.
The three of them looked over, only to see that Wang Hu, who was originally fighting with Yu Wentao, suddenly fell into a bitter battle, and his opponent suddenly had one more person.
"Poof!"
Wang Hu spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth, grabbed the clothes on his chest with one hand, the blue tendons on his forehead appeared, his expression was distorted, he looked at the person in front of him and gritted his teeth and said, "Shao Lao Er, you poisoned the tea?" ”
Shao Lao Er didn't know when he was standing by Yu Wentao's side, only to see that there was still a trace of panic on his face just now, on the contrary, he showed a fox-like smile, "Master Tiger, it's not right for you to say this, don't talk nonsense if you have no evidence, right, Lord Yuwen?" ”
Yu Wentao glanced at Shao Lao Er lightly, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then said to Wang Hu: "You are cornered, surrender." ”
"Phew, I want my Wang Hu to surrender and dream about it...... Yes. Wang Hu was furious, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth again, and this time the color of the blood was clearly black.
"Master Tiger, you have been deeply poisoned, I advise you not to force it." Shao Lao Er said with a smile.
"Damn, the hall master will kill you first!" Wang Hu hated Shao Lao Er who betrayed him, endured the injuries in his body, and rushed towards Shao Lao Er with both feet.
"Stubborn!" Yu Wentao snorted coldly, and the internal force was injected into the sword in his hand, and he stabbed Wang Hu with a sharp blade in his hand.
The two figures staggered in the air, and Yu Wentao stood with a sword with an indifferent expression.
"Tick!"
Blood dripped from Yu Wentao's sword and fell to the ground, blooming like a blood lotus, and on the other side, Wang Hu was half-kneeling on the ground, his face was pale, but his chest was dyed with blood.
