Chapter 702: Separate Hands
The boat gradually sailed away, but Shi Ping's heart became more and more panicked, and he always felt very aggrieved.
The people who came back from the shuttle boat were coming to him one by one.
He was irritable and didn't want to listen, so he waved his men away, shook the thousand chairs himself, and rolled the chair wheels to the stern.
Seeing him leave, the guys who had just come back started giggling and talking.
"That little lady is also fateful, she fell into the water for so long, she didn't drown or faint, I just got off their boat and saw that she was still holding the floating board that she threw down, and her hands and feet could still move!"
"That kind of rough person is not from a young lady's background, maybe he can swim in the water?"
"I think so. Otherwise, how dare you take the initiative to jump into the river? ”
"Do you say you're seriously ill, can you stay seriously ill for so long? Could it be pretended? ”
"Pretend, pretend, such an unlucky one, who knows what kind of disease he gets! If I really want to get it, I don't dare to go up yet. It's just a few bulls, I don't know what to say, it's a woman, and I'm tempted. ”
"Yes. After enduring this while, what woman you want, it's not just a random pick......"
Shi Ping was looking at the ship in front with clairvoyance.
The words of a few of his subordinates made him even more unhappy.
And......
The other party's way of saving people is inevitably a little too difficult.
It stands to reason that they can find a few random people to jump into the water, or carry or lift or throw them, as long as they can get that person into the boat. It's just a dying woman, is it possible that she still cares about fame?
Are those rough people so polite?
When Shi Ping saw them, he first put the floating board down, and then put several small boats down, and several mothers-in-law pulled and pulled, and carried people onto the boat with floating boards, and took quilts to wrap people into zongzi. That's when people carried the floating board to the big ship......
It's really as solemn as a daughter!
The point is, when he saw the woman on the floating board, he had put his legs on it. On this big winter day, after soaking in the lake for a short time, your hands and feet should be numb, and you will lose your strength.
However, it had been more than half an hour since the woman had fallen into the water. How could she, a dying person, stay in the water for so long?
She didn't seem to be pretending to be sick, she was vomiting in the dark, her whole face was pale, and she was about to fall into the water, even he was nauseous, it was definitely vomiting......
Then, she knows how to swim! After entering the water, I found a point of borrowing! …… Are you being deceived?
Shi Ping suddenly thought that when he and Wan Mingyang were plotting against Cheng Ziyu in the past, they just wanted to force her to jump ship, but at that time, they expected Cheng Ziyu to have outstanding water nature, and they would definitely jump into the river to protect themselves after discovering the clues!
Regret in my heart, this woman is a lot similar to that Cheng Ziyu?
The temples throbbed!
Won't it ......
No.
No, it won't.
At this moment, Cheng Ziyu should be investigated in the palace!
The emperor, Emperor Jue, King An, and the crown prince are all staring at her.
It is impossible for her to leave the palace, let alone go south.
I heard that she has been on trial for many days in a row, and if she really wants to leave, if others don't mention it, it is impossible for Emperor Jue not to know about it......
Shi Ping admonished himself that he couldn't continue to think about it.
The opposing ships are obviously strong, and at this time, they can't take risks.
Shi Ping was about to throw away the clairvoyance, but he saw it......
"Come on, push me three floors! Fast! ”
Go up to the third floor to see farther and clearer.
He confirmed.
When he locked the river, in order to calculate the target and hit it with one hit, the distance between the ships in front of the front and back was calculated. Therefore, when two sand boats not far from this group of cargo ships came over, they did not make a move and let each other go.
However, more than half an hour has passed. Those two sand boats...... Heh, how much distance is that? It's still not far from the corner of the waterway ahead, and it is obvious that it has not advanced much distance.
So, that's in ...... Waiting to be answered?
For a while, Shi Ping didn't know whether to be angry or happy.
Those two sand boats were definitely not the big cargo ship that they had hijacked together, that is, they were dart together. What do you mean? Could it be that there are other important things that the dart bureau protects? That's why it's so aggressive?
Shi Ping waved his hand and called someone.
"Impossible." The little leader who was in charge of the search on the boat shook his head repeatedly. "Dozens of our brothers have checked very carefully. The goods were spot-checked a lot, and they were all exactly the same clay bottles. The cabin is also ordinary. It's really not like there's any serious treasure......"
"Carefully? If you really have to be careful, why didn't you find the sword that the other party said to pull out? Shi Ping snorted, and his heart was even more unhappy.
"That'...... Let's go back and take the ship back. ”
"Get down! Self-punishment twenty boards! "it! If the two sand boats in front of you are also owned by the other party, what about the few large and small sand boats that are far away from the back, looking at the tattered sand boats? I'm afraid it's all theirs!
If you look at it this way, the other party's manpower is probably not less than your own.
This bit of his power is the last bit of wealth he finally kept. He doesn't waste a soldier easily.
But...... Those guys are interesting, too.
Xuzhou? So many people go to Xuzhou, what do they want to escort back to Cangzhou?
Cangzhou? The land of Gyeonggi!
Shi Ping sat up straight suddenly, could it be that the escort was a person? Zhu Changzhe?
Shi Ping picked up the clairvoyant again.
The two farthest sand boats really began to move again, and they had already traveled a short distance just after a few dozen breaths. They kept a roughly fixed distance from the dart board at all times.
"Someone! Put a few small boats down. Find someone disguised as an ordinary fisherman and follow the boat where the dart bureau is located far away. Remember, don't startle the snake! ”
Cheng Ziyu didn't know that Shi Ping was inexplicably crooked. This crookedness is clearly outrageous. But this essential purpose is not bad at all......
Shi Ping only suspected in the end, and on the basis of preserving his strength, he was not willing to make a big move.
He couldn't help but think about it, if the other party's purpose was really Zhu Changzhe. Then he might as well go to Xuzhou to wait for the rabbit? If Zhu Changzhe is captured alive...... Ha, haha! Hahaha! From Zhu Changjue to the current emperor, they all have to come to beg him!
Of course, this is all speculation in the end, and we still have to think about it!
He hurriedly ordered the ship to be sent to a nearby station......
However, as soon as I arrived at the place, I got a message.
"Second master, our ship just came from Zibo! Zibo turned into the canal, and there should be no passage of the goods you mentioned. ”
It turned out that after the accident in Jiangnan, in addition to the Cheng family in Jingxi, the market was also mainly to avoid disasters and suspended shipments. In this way, the potters on the North Road can only choose Zibo for the time being. Zibo is not by the canal, so there are only a few rivers to transport goods, which is basically a disaster.
Shi Ping had already sent someone to let him kill a few votes when he saw that kind of big businessman was haunted.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure! Although the market demand is large, we still scared the gang of bad breeds a while ago, and we only caught some small fish and shrimp in the past two days. If there is a large number of shipments, we will not be unaware. ”
Shi Ping laughed.
This shows that the other party really has a problem.
The other party lied!
So the paperwork shown to him is also fake!
It's not a cargo shipped from Zibo, it's clearly a cover-up car!
The other party has an ulterior motive!
Ha, he caught it.
"Come, go...... Go to Jining, Liaocheng, and Linqing to check the goods! ”
The document shows 10,000 sets. With such a large quantity, only a large port has such a digestive capacity. So it can only be these three nearby cities!
"Tell me to go down and prepare my horses. The more horses, the better, and the faster the better! Shi Ping ordered: "Tomorrow we will go to Xuzhou by water and land." Find someone to arrange it first, I have to change horses to run by land, and I want to run as fast as possible! ”
It is only more than 300 miles away from Xuzhou. If he doesn't stop, the other party can't be as fast as himself.
Shi Ping soon received the news from Liaocheng.
It didn't take much for them to find the source of the pottery. He also said that the buyer was a little lady. said that she chose bottles and cans in Taoshi for a long time, and finally bought 10,000 sets of bottles without blinking. They compared, and the appearance and figure were the same as the little lady who died last night......
Cheng Ziyu never imagined that someone would check her batch of goods. I didn't expect that the batch of pottery she deliberately purchased for other purposes would hurt her like this this time......
Shi Ping's mouth was wide open and almost closed!
Therefore, the master of the boat is the little lady! That little lady with the same voice as Cheng Ziyu! That little lady who has the courage to dive and knows the waterways!
Shi Ping's throat suddenly tightened.
Could it really be her?
What if not? How could there be so many coincidences? How can there be so many vulnerabilities?
She's in disguise! Did she recognize herself and was afraid of being caught, so she dived?
That's why she has such a big battle!
This shows that where the unhappiness that I can't suppress in my heart comes from!
What is she doing in the south?
Then, it doesn't have to be for Zhu Changzhe, it's not necessarily for her Cheng family!
Whatever!
Shi Ping is already happy!
Regardless of whether there is anything about Zhu Changzhe or not, as long as Cheng Ziyu can be caught!
Even if it's fake, try it!
Although he regretted it, he shouldn't have let go of the woman just now. But when he thought that maybe he could catch a big fish with a long line, in addition to Cheng Ziyu, he could also catch Zhu Changzhe, and he suddenly became excited again.
Shi Ping also went to the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau in Jining nearby, and the other party said that he didn't remember that they had a surname Jia in the Gyeonggi Dart Bureau. took the paperwork and checked it, and confirmed that there was no such person in the Cangzhou Dart Bureau.
"Ha, it turns out that the identity of the dart game is also fake!" Therefore, these people are either officers and soldiers or people from the imperial court! This is a mission to go south, right?
Shi Ping sent a letter to Zhu Changjue as soon as possible, telling him that he might have followed Cheng Ziyu, and asked Zhu Changjue to quickly think of a plan to check whether Cheng Ziyu was still in the capital, and check the other party's plan and his own negligence......
And on the night when Cheng Ziyu and Shi Ping met, in a miasma mountain group in the southwest of two thousand miles, there was a team of Zhou soldiers and horses, taking advantage of the fog in the middle of the night, like a ghost in the mountains, looming like a ghost, and finally stopped at a small peak.
The horses' hooves were wrapped in soft objects and processed, and they didn't make much noise along the way, as if a gust of wind had blown away, leaving silence and darkness behind.
At the peak, soon there was another group of people.
But in the blink of an eye, everyone retreated on both sides, and only two people were left at the peak.
"Li Chun, are you bold or do you trust me too much? Just a few people with you? ”
"Each other, each other."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll set up an ambush?"
Li Chun chuckled.
"I can trust you...... ambition. Even if you set up an ambush and arrested me, but the commander-in-chief of your operation this time is your third brother, and the number of times your military exploits have been forcibly taken away is still less? If you don't have my help for you, with the two who are in front of you and are better at being human than you, I am afraid that what you want will never fall on your head. If you harm me, it is they who will do it. You're not that stupid! ”
"But Li Chun, I will not betray my nation."
"You are not a betrayal, you are a salvation. Your third brother is crazy, and your mind is not clear? He did not hesitate to collude with the traitors of the Great Zhou in order to ascend to the throne, and it is you who can border the Great Zhou. Even though you have benefited a lot right now, when Da Zhou takes a breather, it will be the time for you to pay the price.
You don't think that the traitor alone can pacify the Great Zhou, do you? If you don't want your people to be bloodied, your brothers to be sacrificed for their power struggles, if you don't want to be trampled underfoot, if you grit your teeth and take this opportunity to clear the scourge in one go, it may be the only chance in your life right now. ”
"It's only been two or three years, and you've talked a lot more nonsense."
Li Chun snorted. "Why aren't you?" Now that I'm standing here, I've made up my mind. At this moment, he said that he was unwilling to betray, which was quite a bit of a stand-up and a responsibility.
"This is what I want, in a word, you should not!" The sixth prince threw a note over.
Li Chun glanced at the moonlight: "I shouldn't!" Don't look forward to it. I'll give you a chance to be worthy of you. You and I don't owe anyone, we just create an opportunity for each other. After that, it depends on each person's ability. How is it? ”
"You...... It's even more annoying than it was back then! The sixth prince dropped a sentence and turned over on his horse. Tomorrow night, I'll give you a chance! I'll give you fifty breaths at most, and I'll let you go with a thousand. It's up to you. ”
"Five hundred is enough!" Li Chun didn't want to startle the snake.
"That's for the best."
Li Chunyi smiled lightly.
Zhu Changjue can use the barbarians, why can't he? He has been in the southwest for seven or eight years, is it true that he is a vegetarian every day in front of the poor mountains and bad waters?
He found that something was wrong with the southwest, and since he knew that he was going back to Beijing to prepare, how could he forget to lay out in the southwest?
……
The southwest is in turmoil.
The rebellion of the barbarian king of the foothills was instigated by his three sons. Zhu Changjue sent a military advisor to sit in the battle, and successfully led Li Chun into the mountain and into the trap. The third prince was funded by Zhu Changjue, and this time he won and occupied an area, and now he is cooperating with the siege of Li Chun, just waiting for Zhu Changjue to succeed.
As the sixth prince of the sharp knife in the foothills, he was dissatisfied with the third brother who repeatedly relied on his mother's excellent pillow style to be robbed of his military merits, and now he is even more disgusted with the collusion between the third prince and the Great Zhou anti-thief. However, his father only has the third prince in his eyes at the moment, and he treats the other sons as nothing at all......
Their father was obscured by the cake drawn by the third prince. They went to question and be scolded. They went to admonish and be beaten. They do not listen to the direct seizure of power. The current three princes have become the great rulers of the foothills, and the remaining princes of them have either been arranged to block the sword in a dangerous place, or have been thrown into the horns.
Just like his sixth prince, he is clearly a general with great achievements in the foothills, but he was rowed to guard the mountain on the most steep side of the mountain......
The sixth prince held his breath, and he didn't feel happy anywhere.
Li Chun found him.
Almost half of the battles in the foothills were fought by the six princes, so he and Li Chun had a lot of confrontations, and the two of them also cherished each other, and they sat down and drank face-to-face during several peace talks, and they also had some understanding of their respective hearts.
Li Chun knows that his ambitions are not small, and his heart is very high, if the eldest son of the king is on the throne, it will be forgotten, but if he becomes the king is his third brother, he, the brave and warlike brother of the king, will definitely be feared, and then there will be only one way to die.
After discovering that he was seized power by the third prince, Li Chun guessed that he must be in a hurry.
So a few days ago, Li Chun had privately contacted the sixth prince through the secret pile......
