Chapter 53: Search
It was night, windy, sailing. m.
Li Xu stood under the mast with his hands in his hands, looking at the undulating waves in the distance.
A few lamps were lit in all directions, swaying and swaying in the night wind, the dim light reflected on the side of his face, and the other side hidden in the darkness, becoming more and more angular.
"Master Li," a small servant came over and arched his hand: "The goods have been prepared." ”
Thin lips tightened, Li Xu leaned on the railing with one hand slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, "Yes, you guys are doing a good job, it's almost dawn, let's go down first and continue to guard, and the show will start later." ”
The little guy promised and quietly hidden.
After a cup of tea, the east gradually revealed the white of the fish belly, the clouds were steaming, and the light and shadow floated on the water, with the ripples gently swaying, reflecting a mottled land.
As the cargo ship continued to approach the shore, the figures swam and the noise dispersed, and Li Xu could already see that there seemed to be a group of officials standing on the shore, waiting for them with knives.
When he got closer, the leader saw him on the bow of the boat, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Li Xu smiled slightly, and his eyes swept from the leader to the bustling surroundings.
The crowd of people, the voices of the owner, the shipowner, and the coolies are constantly shouting, as if to indicate that this will be a day full of returns.
Another team of people is rushing in this direction, starting with a man in a seven-grade official uniform, who is holding his own mouse whiskers at the moment, I don't know what to sigh with the people around him, and his face is full of helplessness.
Li Xu looked away expressionlessly.
Soon the boat reached the shore, and the leader waved his hand, and the little minions beside him immediately scattered in all directions, blocking the merchants who were waiting to come forward to negotiate loading and unloading.
"Your Excellency has an order, inspect the merchant ships! All merchant ships loaded with medicinal herbs immediately docked and set up a gangway, and if anyone disobeys, they will be dealt with according to their contempt for the county order and disturbing the official mission! ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like boiling beans in a pot, and the dock suddenly started to talk about it.
Inspecting merchant ships, or handling cases?
Suddenly, such a set came, and he didn't even say hello, and the merchant who had a ghost in his heart was already sweating with two trembling brains.
Is this and this because the money given to Master Li by the pier was not enough before, so he came to this sullen stick today, to ring the alarm bell for them?
The merchant ship that was not loaded with medicinal materials also had to stop, after all, it could not hinder the law enforcement of other officials, everyone had already stretched their necks to look into the distance, and found that the county commander Li actually rode a horse to inspect in person, which is really a strange thing!
Li Xianling sat on the horse, and just had a few complaints with Master Wu beside him, it was nothing more than that Zhang Er actually came to the door with trouble yesterday, and when he raised his eyes, his scalp suddenly became numb.
I saw that a large group of people on the dock turned their heads to look at him, and their eyes were not shocked, fearful, dodgy, or curious, if there was substance.
Everyone is waiting for him to speak.
Li Xianling suddenly regretted it.
Master Wu persuaded him to come to the dock yesterday to personally supervise and search the Qin family's medicine ship, saying that this could show his ardent heart of loving the people like a son, but why did he feel so stressed now?
Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, once a good thing is found out, it is really a good thing not to go out, and a bad thing to spread thousands of miles.
What kind of people don't have this ** dock, the Qin family is going to be completely ruined.
Li Xianling sighed in his heart, got off the horse and ordered: "Disperse the people first, don't disturb official business, and then conduct an inspection." ”
The official should have retreated, and then shouted two more voices to the sides, and finally cleared the blocked dock to a path that could be walked.
In order to prevent the Qin family's medicine ship and other shippers from secretly communicating with each other, Li County ordered all cargo ships to be stopped, and as long as they were transporting medicinal materials, they had to be inspected.
The matter of the Qin family's rejuvenation hall eating dead people with medicine before, these people who had just arrived on the shore did not know, but the hard workers who came to pull the goods knew about it, and it had quietly spread at this time.
"Hey, did you see it, that's the Qin family's medicine ship, I heard that a few days ago, the Rejuvenation Hall sold fake medicines, but they all ate people to death!"
"Ho! Are you talking about the Hall of Rejuvenation? Selling fake drugs and eating dead people? It's impossible, my old son has been grabbing medicine there, and I'll be fine for the rest of my life! ”
"Not only is it us here, I heard an aunt from Lanling of mine say that a few days ago they died there, also because they ate the fake medicine of the Rejuvenation Hall!"
"The world is going down, if Old Man Qin is still alive and knows that his son and granddaughter died like this, it is estimated that the coffin board will not be able to hold it down!"
Everyone gossiped, and immediately reduced the Qin family to nothing.
Li Xu listened indifferently, and a sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Li Xian Lingzheng commanded, and pointed in the direction of the Qin family's cargo ship with both hands, "Go, call their manager Guo Xu, Xu'er?" ”
Halfway through speaking, he froze.
The handsome young man in front of him stood with his hands in his hands, and there was a kind of chic and uninhibited that no one else could wear on him, and when he heard this low call, he turned his head expressionlessly and squeezed the corners of his mouth towards Li Xianling.
Li Xianling quickly took a few steps forward.
"Evil beasts! Evil animals! He shouted, and immediately raised his hand to slap him.
trembling violently, as if he had become a pufferfish, and he could explode with a finger.
This crisp slap suddenly cut through the hustle and bustle of everyone present, and none of them stopped the work in their hands, and the cannon on their mouths looked at the father and son in the past.
The young man really didn't look ordinary handsome and strong, but it was a pity that at this time there was a big red mark on his face, and his face was gloomy, and anyone who saw it would tremble.
Compared with Li Xu, the thin Li Xianling still trembled his lips violently, obviously at a disadvantage.
"You don't have the right to beat me, Master Li," Li Xu didn't move, and said intritently: "I am no longer the Li family, my surname is Li, and it is also because my surname is Li, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Li Xianling suddenly became even more angry, and scolded him with his head and face: "It's true that you are not my species, but who raised you so big, you don't know how to be grateful, and now you are still beating a rake and running away from home with your mother, do you want to be ashamed!" ”
Li Xu sneered: "What, Lord Li, Lord Qingtian, don't you remember how you promised me at the beginning?" took my five hundred taels of silver, from then on you take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, my mother and I have nothing to do with your Li family, you take the money and still want to turn your face and not recognize people? ”
Master Li took his son's money and sold his aunt?
And they all looked at each other.
"You still have the face to say?"
Li Xianling's old face turned red, and he wanted to cover up and shouted: "Do I have to ask for all that money?" It's not like you shoehorned it into me and snatched your aunt! Li Xu, your wings are stiff and you don't listen to me, and now you're on a thief ship! Today, I, Lee Teng-hui, am bound to kill my relatives in righteousness, and I will deal with you, a thief who does not learn or know, and does not hesitate to splash skin! ”
On the other hand, he sprayed spit on Xingzi wildly, "Search, search for Lord Ben!" Just go! ”
Master Li, who was dizzy, only thought about slapping his former son in the face at the moment, and all the feelings of his colleagues were forgotten.
Anyway, now that he has already severed the father-son relationship with him, even if he really finds out something, it has nothing to do with him!
