Chapter 181: Running for Your Life
At first, Zhao Minghui could still look back coldly.
However, when Zhao Minghui found that there were many people on those small boats full of people who hated him like that, he didn't know why, and suddenly he was a little cowardly.
Zhao Minghui quickly returned to the cabin.
After arriving at the cabin, Wang Xinren asked distraughtly, "How is the situation outside?" ”
"Were all those people burned to death?"
When Zhao Minghui heard this, he bluntly told his brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, there are dozens of small boats with us. The boat was full of those, those who survived. ”
"Brother-in-law, when I was standing on the deck just now, I noticed some people looking at me with hatred. Brother-in-law, I'm afraid that once those people are safe, they will take revenge on us. Moreover, if such a big incident occurs today, if some people deliberately report it to the imperial court, then we will be finished......"
As soon as Wang Xinren heard this, his expression was particularly nervous.
He bought this county order through his connections.
spent so much money to be an official here, and in less than two months, he immediately returned to his capital.
He became an official to make a lot of money, and he made a lot of money.
He believed that there were many people in the court who were actually exactly the same as him.
If he does this, it is very likely that he will not attract attention in normal times. Those people who are officials in the court will basically turn one eye open and close one eye, and they will not care about him.
But now, something so big has happened, they can't just ask!
He has a small county order, which is not big or small, and it is not small when it is said to be small.
In front of the people, he was a great official.
But in front of those peaks, he is an inconspicuous sesame seed!
If those people want to clean him up, if they want to take him out of the tank, it's all easy.
He didn't want to be someone else's scapegoat.
Therefore, he can only be sorry for those Li people now.
After Wang Xinren pondered for a while, he suddenly gave an order to his two brothers-in-law.
"Now you call the captain and hit all the boats that are following you!"
"Knock them all off the boat, and we'll keep going!"
The big ship that Wang Xinren is sitting on now is the largest and most magnificent ship in Gaofeng City.
It is three stories high, more than 30 meters long and eight meters wide. It is known as the largest ship in Gaofeng City.
After the captain learned of Wang Xinren's order, his conscience was still a little uneasy.
But soon, he thought that he was begging for food under this county magistrate. Therefore, after he answered, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to handle this matter.
So, in full view of everyone, this magnificent and luxurious ship began to hit the small boats behind it.
How can a small boat withstand the strength of a large ship?
Soon, some dilapidated boats were smashed to pieces.
After the boat shattered, the people sitting on it fell directly into the river one by one like dumplings.
The water in this river was already scalded into boiling water with extremely high temperature by the boiling magma.
The splash on the surface of the water has always been gurgling. Didn't stop from the beginning.
So, after those people in the small boat fell into the water, even if they were good at the water, they couldn't support it.
Because the temperature of the boiling water was really too high, as soon as they fell into the water, they could only let out a few particularly terrifying screams.
After a few screams, they were silent.
Everyone present knew that whoever fell would die.
Therefore, people with particularly good rowing skills call on the people on the boat to row quickly.
As long as you have wood on hand, or other tools, quickly row the boat.
They can go to the other side first!
So, these people began to flee for their lives.
In the present year, ships are mainly built from wood.
No matter how luxurious and magnificent the shipbuilding is, it is also made of wood.
The wood soon creaked under the soaking of boiling water.
As soon as the commander of the boat where Wang Xinren was sitting heard several of his deputies, he hurriedly came over one after another to report that there had been an abnormality in the cabin below.
In some places, it started to bulge and it was about to burst.
They were shocked.
So, he hurriedly ran to Wang Xinren, frowned, and reported the matter one by one in a hurry.
As soon as Wang Xinren heard the captain say that if the boat he was on was delayed any longer, he might not be able to hold on, and he didn't think about it at the time, so he scolded him with his head and face.
"So what are you waiting for?! Hurry up and sail! ”
"Lord Prefectural Order, what did you tell me......
When Wang Xinren heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "It's all this time, what do you care about those untouchables!" ”
"Let's go, let's get on the boat!"
"If we don't sail again, will we still be alive?"
Wang Xinren's mood at this time was really unhappy.
He never thought that this minion he was optimistic about would be so stupid!
At this time, he didn't even want to run for his life......
After being urged, the captain hurriedly ordered his men to leave the boats behind.
They have to go downstream.
Hurry up and run for your life!
As soon as the captain gave the order, they began to turn the bow of the boat and row vigorously.
As they paddled and paddled, they felt like the place where they were sitting was hot and hot.
"Why is it so hot?"
“…… I think eighty percent of it was the boiling water in the river, which scalded all of us......"
The dozens of boatmen all felt as if their buttocks were on fire at this time. I can't sit still at all.
Moreover, these coolie boatmen all rely on their own labor to eat.
They have no shoes under their feet.
Stepping on the hot plank, they couldn't stand or sit.
Soon, these people's feet were blistered.
There are some people at the bottom who really can't stay. And they rushed at him.
As soon as they reached the deck, the captain's eyes widened.
"Why don't you guys row underneath? What are you doing running up for no reason? ”
"Boss, it's so hot down there! I felt like the water was burning the boat's board. Boss, there's so much cargo in the cabin. Why don't we throw something in and run downstream? ”
As soon as the captain heard this, he immediately turned on a face, and his mood became even worse.
"Don't fart to me!"
"The goods in the cabin are all from us, the county magistrate! It's all gold, silver and jade, and it's worth a lot more than you! ”
"If I dared to say to him and throw the goods away, he would immediately turn his face and have someone throw me into the water. When the time comes, you will be the captain, okay? ”
…… As soon as they heard this, the men stopped talking.
