The huge ship sailed on the fast-flowing river, and the guests on board had returned to their rooms, and the deck was silent. Docked at the pier during the day, and now there are new passengers on board.

The top and bottom cabins are not accessible to guests, and the range of movement is small, and the only places to move around are the decks and rooms.

Two boatmen were tied up in a general cargo room, with rags on their mouths and unable to call for help.

They were caught red-handed when they were lurking around Mu Jinchen's room half an hour ago, and they were punched and kicked and threatened. The next quarter of an hour was locked up in this grocery room.

They were anxious to break free from the hemp rope, not to take revenge, but to hurry to make peace with their masters.

The identity of the son who was ready to start was definitely not simple, and he was so clear about the layout of the entire ship. It shows that this person's status cannot be underestimated, and perhaps he should not be provoked.

One of them struggled desperately to find that the rope tied behind him had gradually loosened, and after a few struggles, his hands could move visibly. In the end, brute force was used to tear off the twine.

Hurriedly untied the rope for his companion, and ran to the top of the boat in a panic.

If you want to go up to the top floor, you have to go through the person on duty at the staircase before you can go up, and when you see the two of them in such a hurry and nervous, you quickly let the two of them go up.

Through the wide screen, through the candlelight, a fat figure could be seen lying on a rocking chair. After listening to this, he threw the tea cup in his hand out hard, and the good celadon tea cup was shattered.

This person is the owner of this ship, Ma Ye.

The people kneeling outside trembled, and they didn't dare to breathe.

The person behind the screen snorted coldly: "Who dares not to give me face in the entire Jiangnan area?" Yes, it's a dead end. Let them do it tonight. ”

"Yes." The people outside gasped and swallowed back the words they wanted to persuade. If you say more, I'm afraid that your head will not be protected.

Mu Jinchen extinguished the candle early, sat face to face with Yu Yi open his eyes, and knew that he heard the movement outside the corridor and gathered in his room. Give Yu Yi a look. The two stood at the door in tacit understanding.

The man outside used a dagger to pin the door, pushed the door open and stood outside the door, and only stepped in after a few breaths. The three of them walked in one by one, and within five steps, they were knocked unconscious by Mu Jinchen and Yu Yi.

The two quickly changed into the workers' clothes and simply covered their original appearances. In three or two strokes, they disguised themselves as two ordinary boatmen.

Smoothly pass through the code and go straight to the fourth floor.

Knocking on the door, you have to see that you are allowed to push the door in, Ma Ye is still lying behind the screen, and you can vaguely see a graceful woman in his arms.

"It's done?"

"It's done, in addition to finding a large number of silver tickets and jewelry, there are also some things for the master to see for himself, yes...... About that thing. ”

"Oh? Bring it in. The voice was visibly quick and interested.

Yu Yi and Mu Jinchen separated, one left and one right around the screen. Mu Jinchen bowed and went in to face Ma Ye.

Ma Ye stretched out his hand and motioned for him to take it, Mu Jinchen took a few steps forward, and suddenly the powder in his hand was sprinkled out. The incident happened suddenly, and the woman in Ma Ye's arms fell unconscious and collapsed with a scream.

A bunch of powerful drugs hit the person's mouth and nose head-on, and he could be unconscious in an instant, and Ma Ye could still be awake and struggle to get up, which showed that the internal force was not small. That is, in the blink of an eye, Ma Ye's luck and internal force were about to hit Mu Jinchen with a palm.

Yu Yan was quick to move, and the handkerchief that had been soaked in the drug instantly covered the horse's mouth and nose.

Ma Ye is fat and strong, and he almost threw Yu Yi away after a few fierce struggles. Mu Jinchen also took out another handkerchief and pressed Ma Ye together, which gradually made the person unconscious.

It's not easy to control such a fat person, and if you are drugged, you can burst out a lot of internal force, and if you are sober, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with.

Yu Yi took out another brown pill and stuffed it into Ma Ye's mouth, a quarter of an hour later.

Ma Ye ran out of breath.

The boats were still moving smoothly on the river, and the candles were lit and flickered. The moon was already high in the sky, and most people were asleep at this hour.

Yu Yi checked that there were six rooms on the fourth floor of the entire floor, and only Ma Ye lived alone. There is no trace of the other rooms being inhabited. He changed a candle and put it on the table, so that Mu Jinchen could see it more clearly.

Maybe Ma Ye has been dominating for too long, and no one can threaten him. The furnishings of the room were extremely simple. Mu Jinchen just rummaged around and found something unexpected.

Ma Ye is actually Bin Ye's brother. Then it's Liang Zhiyi's people, thinking that they often loot the money of the people on the ship, and most of them also go into the pockets of Liang Zhiyi and King Yu.

Now Liang Zhiyi has mobilized most of his forces to find news of him and Jing Jiu, but he didn't expect Liang Zhiyi to have a lot of power in Weiliang. It can be said that there is a net over there, just waiting for Jing Jiu and him to jump in.

Fortunately, the two of them are disguised, and it takes some effort to search for them. In addition, Minghui's people will intervene from it, and whether they can be found depends on their ability.

The bottom cabin is for the boatmen to live, and at this time they are still happy to drink. They all thought that life on the ship would be very hard, otherwise, Ma Ye was very generous to them.

Wine and meat, women, small money. From no less to them.

Yu Yi was mixed in more than a dozen people, holding a wine jar in his hand, and hooking up with the big man next to him. Men talk about nothing more than those bad things and those bad things.

And these people gulp wine and eat meat. Yu Yi clinked glasses with the person next to him, and when he looked up, he poured the wine into his mouth happily.

Half an hour passed, and the shipwrights fell drunk and unconscious.

Yu Yi opened the door, and Minghui's brothers had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Several people cooperated with each other and quickly tied up these people, just in case they ordered a few more incense sticks.

The ship was controlled by Minghui.

The sky was shining, and the ship also entered the Jiangnan area. The river in front of us gradually narrowed, and the driving speed began to slow down. The ship will eventually stop at Taocheng Pier.

The official was already waiting at the wharf, and the county official's face was very solemn. He received word last night that there was a ship with gunpowder on board. This is a great sin!

Gunpowder can only be carried by official ships, and the customs clearance stamps of each county town are also required to confirm the tonnage of the cargo, and it cannot be overweight. Other general cargo ships will be entrained.

As soon as the boat docked, the people above were controlled by the officials before they could react, and they were interrogated and examined one by one. This battle is not ordinary.

The prefectural order and the imperial history soon walked through the cabin to find dry goods with gunpowder and boatmen who were tied together.

Ma Ye in the room on the fourth floor had long since died, and the table was scattered with evidence of gunpowder and correspondence in the past six months.

Mu Jinchen and Yu Yi separated, and each got off the ship smoothly after being interrogated. The two walked separately on the street as if they were strangers.

In the end, they also separated into two inns.

The county order found that someone had violated the ban, and the news soon spread throughout the city, and the people who were hiding in the corner to observe the movement sneaked into a certain thatched hut and made half a pillar of incense before coming out.

Ma Ye was killed, and the ship was seized.

The eight words soon spread throughout the seventeen cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

Mu Jinchen's inn is excellent, it is the center of the city, and when you open the window, you can see the main street and the surrounding houses. The inn chosen by Yu Yixuan is much more remote and quiet.
