Chapter Ninety-Nine: Into the Wolf's Den First

The boy cautiously led her out of the general cargo bilge, where there were about a dozen cargo ships outside, and the pirates were patrolling back and forth and were heavily guarded. Jin Jiaojiao endured her physical discomfort and followed the boy, observing the surrounding environment, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

The cargo ship is not big, and some of the widows are carrying something, she is puzzled: it is clearly still in the Yangzhou territory, can these widows act so blatantly, not afraid of alarming the inspecting government?

Jin Jiaojiao remembered what Steward Tong said, and suddenly realized that the horse ferry was originally an official ferry, and they were naturally not afraid of Tan Gu.

On the deck, a burly man suddenly walked around the corner, and before Jin Jiaojiao could react, she was pushed by the boy into the pile of fishing nets behind the broken fishing boat.

Through the crack in the net, Jin Jiaojiao saw that there was a person behind the man, who was Tan Gutong's housekeeper.

I saw the Qui man kneel down on one knee and salute the boy, and the two said a few words, and the Qui man left.

"It's alright, come out."

Jin Jiaojiao came out, didn't say anything, still followed him, her eyes fell on the back of the boy's head, and she had other ideas in her heart.

The boy led her to a room, a low bed, a few clothes, and a few wood carvings on a wooden table, presumably his usual things to pass the time, and the room was so simple that one began to doubt his true identity again. Chinese Net

"This is my room, no one will come in, you rest first, I'll get you something to eat."

Jin Jiaojiao had tears in her eyes, and she looked grateful, "Thank you so much Ono, you are such a good boy."

The boy went out embarrassed, and when he walked away, Jin Jiaojiao's expression immediately became indifferent and serious. There were waves of people patrolling outside, and the Wako could leave at any time, so she had to hurry up and get out of here before she could sail. That boy's status among the widows is not low, and if it comes to the point of last resort, she can only hold him hostage to save his life. Jin Jiaojiao decisively picked up the carving knife and slipped away while the guards outside were patrolling alternately.

It's not easy to escape from this place, the boat she is in is still a certain distance from the shore, and her current physical condition is definitely not able to swim ashore, and she will be found if she rows a small boat, so she can only find a way to move to the cargo ship docking.

Jin Jiaojiao fled towards her planned route, and suddenly there was a warning whistle from the ship, and the pirates gathered on the side of the ship with torches and machetes. Frightened, she hurriedly jumped out of the wall of the boat, dodging the oncoming pirates, the cold wind at night blew the oars clicking, Jin Jiaojiao held the side of the boat tightly with both hands, and she didn't dare to come out, and she didn't dare to climb up again when the pirates ran over.

What happened?

Forget it, no matter, it's important to escape, now is a good time.

Several black shadows flashed in her sight one after another, Jin Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes, almost thinking that she was wrong, and when she looked closely, the black shadow disappeared, but she saw a person standing on the opposite boat - Steward Tong,

It's so unlucky, how can it be him again! All of what happened to her tonight was due to this man.

Steward Tong looked around, as if he was waiting for someone to come, and after a while a man dressed like a bookkeeper came up to him, and the two opened their mouths to say a few words, and entered the cabin together.

A few guards of the ship stood on the deck, and Jin Jiaojiao picked up the long anchor on the ground, threw it on the pole opposite, climbed along the rope, and sneaked out of the cabin, where she wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the old thing's gourd.

Through the window, just to see them, Steward Tong took out an account book from his arms and drew a pen, the bookkeeper fingers on the side quickly flicked the abacus beads, and the two of them tinkered for a while before it ended.

Tong Guan's parents breathed a sigh of relief, put down the pen and closed the account book again, and the bookkeeper hurriedly handed him a cup of tea, looking like a villain. Steward Tong glanced at him, and smiled very politely with tea, "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, we don't need to do this between us."

"Yes, yes, yes, see smile, see smile." Although Mr. Bookkeeper agreed, he did not raise his posture, "Nothing can escape the fiery eyes of Steward Tong, no wonder the adults appreciate you and leave everything to you."

Butler Tong's ass was photographed very comfortably and proudly

"Sir, don't worry, I have told the adults the truth about the last time you said that you wanted to transfer back, and the adults know that you have an old mother to support, and they are also very sympathetic. Therefore, the Lord himself promised that when this time passes, your filial piety will be fulfilled, and you should rest assured."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Ledger showed a sad expression on his face, and pulled Steward Tong's sleeve and humbly begged for mercy, "But my mother is already seriously ill, and I hope that Steward Tong will intercede for me again, and it will be good for me to go back and take care of her old man for a day or two."

"Well, for the sake of us coming out of the same alley, I'll do my best." Butler Tong impatiently pulled out his sleeve and was about to leave, but the thin bookkeeper stumbled and almost lost his footing.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang on the side of the cargo ship, like a thunderbolt, which shook more than a dozen large ships violently, and then emitted dazzling firelight. Everyone was disturbed by this sudden change, and the big cargo ship was noisy and shouting, and Jin Jiaojiao felt that all her internal organs had run away from home. Steward Tong, who was extremely impatient with the account room just now, was like grabbing a life-saving straw at this moment, dragging someone's arm to death, and he couldn't speak anymore, shouting at the top of his voice, it is estimated that even the father-in-law in the palace will be ashamed of himself when he hears it.

"What's going on? Ouch, my old waist."

The account room that was pressed under him almost died, and said pitifully: "It seems that there is a commotion on the side of the cargo ship, Steward Tong, please get up first."

The boat was still shaking, Jin Jiaojiao hugged the side of the boat tightly before barely standing firmly, Steward Tong struggled a few times, the salted fish could not turn over, and at this time the account room had no choice, with the strength of the boat shaking, he kicked him away, and waited for the boat to be a little more stable before he got up and pulled up the greedy and afraid of death Steward Tong.

"Why is there such a big commotion?" Steward Tong rubbed his waist, then his expression became nervous, and he hurriedly checked the account book in his arms, fortunately, the account book was not broken, so he relaxed a little, "I'll go out and have a look, don't miss the adult's business." He put the book back in his pocket, and when he reached the door, he felt that it was inappropriate, folded it back, locked it tightly in an iron box, and put it in a wooden cabinet.

The account room left with Steward Tong, as soon as they left, Jin Jiaojiao immediately slipped into the cabin and took out the wooden box, according to her observation, Steward Tong was very important to this account book, which was definitely a secret that no one could see. Jin Jiaojiao took out the carving knife and picked the lock with three clicks and five divisions, the skill taught to her by Nan Qiye was not as simple as shaking the stopper.

The account book recorded a large number of Tan Gu's smuggling and bribery transactions, and she only briefly flipped through a few pages, and was greatly shocked by Tan Gu's methods for personal gain.

But she had to get out first, Jin Jiaojiao picked up the account book and left the cabin and walked down, intending to take advantage of the chaos to row a small boat to run, but before she could find a usable light boat, she bumped into a person who fell from the sky.

It was a black-clothed masked man, and the light on the side of the boat was extinguished by Jin Jiaojiao, and the man didn't notice that there was a soft person at his footing.

The two people who collided on their backs were shocked in their hearts, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and their hands tightened their respective weapons in unison, ready to strike first.

Jin Jiaojiao was always weak, and the man in black turned around and grabbed her neck first, "If you want to live, don't make a sound."

Not far away, the firelight of the Japanese patrol flickered to this side from time to time, hitting the two of them, and the man in black saw the face of the person he pinched clearly, and there was a strong will to survive in his frightened eyes, and his pale and embarrassed face was still beautiful. This made the man in black think of the so-called beauty of his master when he was a teenager, at that time he felt that his mother was a tough beauty, and his aunt was a rare beauty in the world, but now the woman in front of him has no former glory, but she has become an unspeakable beauty in his heart.

His eyes were full of surprise and questions, how could she be alone in the den of thieves? The man in black hurriedly let go of the murderer's hand, and Jin Jiaojiao took advantage of his stunned moment to decisively tear off the veil on his face.

Jin Jiaojiao: "Lord Liu?"

Liu Xuanhe: "Miss Jin."
