Chapter 90: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
The big boss immediately shook his head and looked at his subordinates, "What's the situation?" ”
The man told Qian Qianqian about the stomach pain and other situations that Qian Qianqian had laid out before, and she also cooperated with the clamping of her body, holding her stomach with a painful expression, "Uncle, I wanted to endure it, but it is really a person who has three urgency, I, I ...... Why don't you let me go ashore and settle it? ”
As soon as she heard her say this, the big boss had a hideous face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he pulled Qian Qianqian's whole person up with his hand, "Hmph! I think you just want to take the opportunity to escape, and if you want to solve it, solve it on this ship! I'll help you! As he spoke, he was about to pull Qian Qianqian's pants.
"Don't!" She hurriedly grabbed her trouser pocket, which would have been ...... on the spot Not to mention that her disguise as a woman will be exposed, these people will be the first to kill her, that is, in this public, so many men and women, it is really ......
"Uncle, we are all Sven people, how can we do such a thing? I, I hold back. Really, hold back! She choked up and looked at the master, feeling that he had no intention of stopping, and in a hurry, she shouted: "I see that you are all thieves, and the heroes of the green forest pay attention to morality." If you do this, I am afraid that when the time comes, your reputation will not be known, but you will first fall into a bully who has no power, no money, and no grudges, and it is notorious, and it will not be good. ”
Qian Qianqian is gambling, betting that this group of people is not a bandit.
In fact, it seems that they have not really moved their hands since they got on the boat, and they are new fingers and inexperienced, maybe they can have a glimmer of life, if he still insists on it, then he can only do it.
She secretly glanced at the hull on the side with her spare eyes, and saw that Mu Tianyue and her little servant had gathered together, waiting for an opportunity to move, and she also felt a little confident in her heart.
She looked down at the distance between herself and the ground, and simulated in her mind whether she would be able to land steadily if she gave the other party a roundabout kick.
However, before she could really do this, she was already thrown on the boat by the master, "Hold back! Go back! ”
The little brothers around him were puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask anything.
Qian Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, you're really a thief!" I'll hold back! She grabbed her legs all the way, hurriedly fled back to the cabin, and returned to Mu Tianyue.
"I'll do it next time." There was a hint of reproach in his eyes, "If you knew you were thinking such a stupid idea, I wouldn't let you mess around." ”
Qian Qianqian stuck out her tongue, "Fang Cai is sober, time is not waiting for me, I can't think about it much, if he didn't want to pull my pants, I wouldn't have realized that I was pretending to be a woman." ”
Mu Tianyue shook her head helplessly, "Fortunately, there is no danger, otherwise something is wrong with you, even if I find Mo Han, how can I explain to him?" ”
A flush flashed on Qian Qianqian's face, "Why do you have to explain to him, I am me, he is him." ”
A meaningful smile hung on the corner of Mu Tianyue's mouth, but he didn't say anything more.
It was getting dark, so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. There are faint lights on the shore, but they can't really see it. The bandits, who had always been a little scattered, began to get nervous, and one by one they touched the knives hidden behind them, looking ready to attack.
"I don't know how things are going." Qian Qianqian's murmur was heard by Mu Tianyue, "Don't worry, if this plan doesn't work, let's adapt to the situation, since they don't plan to rob simply and clearly, and want to outwit it, there must be a way to notify the people on the merchant ship." ”
Qian Qianqian nodded slowly, "Indeed, it's best not to be too far apart from the three of us, lest we find each other if the scene becomes chaotic." As she spoke, she looked at the little maid, and her eyes signaled, and the little maid was about to come over, but suddenly she heard a movement in the bow of the boat.
"We are a passenger boat departing for Zhongzhou, and we lost the torches on the way, and it is difficult to travel by water at night, so I don't know if we can borrow a few torches." The head of the cottage is tilted up.
Qian Qianqian and Mu Tianyue glanced at each other, the two of them tacitly, she leaned out half of her body and saw a three-story tall boat, the boat was brightly lit, surrounded by guards, and the person who was talking to the bandit leader was also dressed differently from other guards, but the weapons on her body were the same.
In this way, he can only be the guardian of this merchant's family.
He glanced at the bandit leader, then at the boat, and said, "Who are the people on board?" ”
The leader of the water bandits arched his hand and said: "They are all ordinary people who are going to Zhongzhou." ”
The guard was very careful to look into the cabin, and when the bandit leader saw this, he asked his subordinates to take a few old and weak women and children out, "You see, if it is really impossible to walk, I will not come to bother." Although I do a small business, I also have to think about the old and young on the ship. ”
Qian Qianqian admired this water bandit a little when she heard him say this, it was indeed different from the image he gave people, he was a brain, and it would be better to put this kind of cleverness elsewhere than to do such a thing.
Is it true that the world is getting worse than ever?
She was sighing that when the nurse saw that the infant child obviously believed the words of the bandit leader, she felt compassion and wanted to bring them torches from the boat, and the child cried "wow".
"What's wrong?" The nurse asked with concern.
The child's mother cried for a long time before she said cautiously: "I haven't eaten anything good along the way, and I don't have milk or water, and the child is afraid that he is hungry." ”
The nurse nodded thoughtfully, and followed: "You wait a minute, I'll come when I go." ”
After a while, when the nursing home reappeared, he said with a smile: "My lord said that everyone is a guest, and since they meet, they are fate." The child is innocent, so you can count how many children there are in that boat, and get some to eat. "After that, I will beckon the boatman to go up.
The bandit leader was naturally happy, but the woman flinched a little, "Isn't it too disturbing?" ”
"My lord is a well-known good person, and he likes children very much, so you don't have to shirk it." The more enthusiastic the nurse was, the more the woman flinched, thinking that she could not bear to harm the good people.
But when she looked at the people around her, there were many bandits who pinched their children just now in order to attract the attention of the other party, and sent the child into her arms with palpitations.
"If you are really not at ease, how about taking the child and waiting for the boatman to go with us?" ”
"I, I'm not ......"
"Ahh The bandit spoke up to stop the woman from continuing, and pulled the men beside him and said, "Torches and food, I'm afraid I can't take it alone, can I take this little brother with me?" ”
The nurse responded happily, and then led the two of them onto the boat.
Qian Qianqian really couldn't guess whether the people on the merchant ship knew from the conversation between the two people, and she looked to the shore again, but she didn't see any signs of the appearance of the protective battalion army.
"Was it just in time, or was something happening on the way?" She began to worry about Zhao Ye's comfort.
Mu Tianyue comforted: "I think Brother Shen is extraordinary, there shouldn't be many people who can beat him, let's take a look first." ”
Qian Qianqian stared at the merchant ship with all her attention, if the water bandit's plan went well, I was afraid that she would have to find an excuse to meet their boss, and then find a way to take it by surprise and subdue the boss, and then it would be logical to hijack the entire merchant ship, and then she would be able to do whatever she wanted.
After a while, there was no abnormal movement of the merchant ship, and the courtyard walked out with two people, and said, "Two, please." ”
The two men returned the salute and were about to come to the boat as they spoke.
The bandits were all puzzled, but they didn't want to ask in person, so they had to reach out and pick up the master.
The bandit leader stepped onto the boat, handed out the torch, and one of his men stepped forward to pick it up, and the next moment he smashed it on the deck with his backhand, and with a "bang", it emitted a white powder and gunpowder glow.
The gang of bandits were choked and coughed when they landed, and they reacted slowly and said, "Big boss, what are you doing?!" ”
"Big boss?! Let's see if I'm your boss! Qian Qianqian heard the person's bright voice, and her eyes lit up, "It's Zhao Ye!" ”
"It seems that this ship should be the leader of the bandits who have tamed Fang Cai." As he spoke, he began to shout to the other passengers in the cabin, "Don't worry, you're here to save us, everyone retreat to the stern of the boat, as long as you don't go out." When the mess outside is cleaned up, we can be saved! ”
Everyone nodded and gathered.
Seeing the signal released by Zhao Ye on the merchant ship, they jumped up one after another and confronted the water bandits.
The group of dragon leaderless water bandits, some were tamed on the spot, and some jumped into the water to escape in all directions, Zhao Ye solved several of them with almost no effort, tied them up and threw them aside. Goodbye, the situation was basically stabilized, and then he got into the cabin, "Boss, Zhao Ye lives up to expectations!" ”
"Good work." Qian Qianqian greeted him, looked over his shoulder at the subdued bandits, "What are you going to do with them?" ”
"Hand it over to the protection battalion, they are sending a team of water ghosts to ambush nearby." Zhao Ye pointed to a few locations as he spoke, Qian Qianqian took a closer look, and found the traces of the reed pole, which would definitely not be knocked out if no one mentioned it and didn't look closely.
"I thought there was no movement, but I didn't think we would be a bucket this long ago."
"The leader of this protective camp is a Qing official." Zhao Ye waved his hand at the river, "When I went, I only told me about the situation on the boat, and the lord immediately sent someone to inform the merchants." I wanted to come back and report to you, but I was worried about the trouble, so I gave up, and the boss didn't want to blame me. ”
"How so." Seeing that those bandits who fled in the water were also caught and thrown on merchant ships, and none of the more than a dozen escaped the net, Qian Qianqian couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it seems that the corruption of this Xiao State is the mainstay of the imperial court, and there are many clean officials in the local area.
But this also shows from another side that the status of Qing officials in the court, although they can ensure the safety of one party, but they cannot have a position in the court, and they cannot seek the well-being of more people.
If the court of the Xiao State continued like this, there would inevitably be turmoil.
