Chapter 568 (2)
Besides, after Ah Chun and the others left, Zeng Rong and Zhu Heng sat in front of the window, paying attention to the movement of the lake, gossiping, and tasting the local unique heat-relieving tea, herbal tea boiled with dried apricots, sweet and sour.
"I wonder if they're in danger?" Zhu Heng looked at the painting boats in the window and said.
"I guess the other party shouldn't do too much, and if it is not good to get you into the water and then rescue you, as for what method to use, I have to think about it carefully, how can I justify myself and put the responsibility on our side." Zeng Rong said.
"Oh, I want to hear about it." There was a faint smile in Zhu Heng's eyes, and he thought so too.
"It's very simple, if something really happens to us and something kills, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will definitely not spare them, but if it is only for your legs, let you soak in the water for some time, it is easier to hide from them or hide from us by pretending to be an accident." Zeng Rong analyzed.
Zhu Heng understood what she meant as soon as he heard it, someone must be following and monitoring them, most likely because they found out that he was treating his leg, and let the other party take risks to harm them, maybe he knew his progress.
The other party was so afraid that he would stand up, and he couldn't wait to start as soon as he made a little progress.
"But how did this news get out?" Zhu Heng asked.
Zeng Rong couldn't answer this question, in addition to the eight people they brought, the rest were Qian Yi and Lu Lang, and there was also Ouyang Si who left, these eleven people should not betray them.
The rest is the boatmen, after all, every time the medicinal bath will have a strong smell of Chinese medicine, the boatmen on the lower level will definitely be able to smell it.
But Zeng Rong asked Qian Yi, these shipwrights are not alive, they are all from the Qian family's shipping team, they are from the south, and it is unlikely that they will be bought.
There is also a possibility that the person who bought it was discovered when he went to buy medicinal materials, and the other party analyzed the use of these medicinal materials.
Zeng Rong finished analyzing these possibilities and said: "I think the latter is more likely, because this is the only possibility that they will not alarm us." But there is one thing I don't understand, how do they judge where our ship will dock? And how did you find out about our itinerary? Also, we have been careful enough, every time we buy medicine, we will buy it separately, and we don't need to buy medicine everywhere, so they can still find us, it is not easy, it should not be just two people. ”
Zhu Heng smiled, "There are also two possibilities, one is that there is a boat following us, and the other is that there are people riding horses on the shore, and the smell of those medicines will drift to the shore or other cabins with the wind." ”
Jiang Nan on the side couldn't help but interject and said: "Master, why don't you start tomorrow, Jiang Bei and I will also ride horses with us, and see if there are suspicious people along the way." ”
"That's not necessary, if this matter is revealed today, they shouldn't follow us in the short term, they are not stupid, they will definitely give up if they don't hit a blow, and they can still hand us evidence for nothing?" Zhu Heng shook his head and said.
As for who this person behind the scenes will be, none of them have a bottom, the possibility of Queen Wang is high, but Tong Yao's ability should not be underestimated, don't look at her now being trapped in Yaohua Palace and can't get out, but she can not fall in the palace for so many years, there must be minions who do things for her.
"It seems that this trip to Jiangnan is destined not to be peaceful." Zhu Heng clenched his fists with both hands and released them again.
Zeng Rong saw that he hadn't done this action for a long time, and guessed that he might be insecure again, so he hurriedly reached out and held one of his hands, "Don't be afraid, as long as they have scruples, it's okay." ”
Whether it was Queen Wang or Tong Yao, none of them dared to really put them to death, this was a lose-lose approach, so Zeng Rong guessed that these people just wanted to do something on Zhu Heng's leg and interfere with his treatment.
After all, they also have a weakness.
Sure enough, after about half an hour, Jiang Bei came to pick them up in a wheelchair, saying that he had held the two people down.
After the two of them got on the painting boat, they first took out a few fishing rods for them, saying that they could sit in the cabin to fish, Jiangdong they took the fishing rod in order to dispel each other's doubts and vigilance, and Jiangdong and Jiangxi sat in the bow and stern of the boat respectively in order to monitor the two boatmen, and a few small roads were still in the cabin.
Not to mention, there are a lot of fish in this lake, and there are actually biting hooks, and when a few people are fishing, the painting boat is in a lotus leaf, and the two boatmen suggest that they can pick some lotus flowers to eat.
Ah Chun and Ah Mei were not interested in fishing, and when they heard that they could pick the lotus pod, their hands quickly reached out of the cabin, and they went out together, not only the two of them, but even Xiao Haizi followed to reach the lotus pod.
At this time, Jiangbei's fishing rod suddenly stopped moving, it was very heavy, he thought he had caught a big fish, and he stood up and cheered happily.
The accident happened at this time, the two boatmen came to help him collect the fishing rod, the painting boat suddenly overturned, fortunately Jiangdong and Jiangxi reacted quickly, quickly jumped to the side of the boat, stepped on the other side of the ship, and the boat did not completely overturn.
But Jiangbei was standing to pull the fishing line, the first one threw himself into the water, Amei was the second, she was playful, most of her body leaned out, Ah Chun was better, she was in the cabin, and Xiaoluzi grabbed the railing on the side of the boat, and half of her body fell into the water.
The two boatmen really went to save Xiao Haizi and Amei first, and at that time, Jiangbei had already cooperated with Jiangdong and Jiangxi to bring the boat over.
In the end, the two boatmen quibbled that it was because they all ran to the side of the ship and caused the ship to be unbalanced, and that it had nothing to do with the two of them, and that they had helped save people.
But how could Jiangdong spare them so lightly, the other party deliberately gave them fishing rods, and then deliberately led them to the lotus leaf bushes, Jiangbei's fishing rod did not catch any big fish at all, but was entangled in lotus leaves, and the two of them came over to help with the obvious intention of causing the hull to be unbalanced, so many people's weight is all concentrated on one side, plus the strength of the fishing rod, can the boat not capsize?
Jiang Dong subdued the two men with a little effort, and then told the truth, saying that the junior two had promised to give each of them twenty taels of silver, and asked them to help get these people into the water, especially the man in a wheelchair.
But there is one thing, after falling into the water, they must immediately save people, but the person who fell into the water must be saved last, and it is best to let him soak in the water for a while, as long as it does not hurt people's lives.
When these two people heard it, they didn't hurt people's lives, but they just let people fall into the water, which was not difficult for them at all.
So they took the job.
"What about Xiao Er?" Zeng Rong asked.
"After the trial, they said that they didn't know each other, and the other party gave a hundred taels of silver, and the person lived upstairs, but unfortunately we were a step late, and the two people probably saw this scene in front of the window and slipped away in advance." Jiangbei said with regret.
It's a pity.
