Chapter 3: Arrogant Pirates

"You want to cross the river, right?" Tolerance asked.

"Yes!" The tomboy replied briefly, and seemed reluctant to talk much about it.

"Fifty wen per person." Tolerances are also crisp. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

The tomboy glanced at Jiang Feng on the side with an inquiring eye. Jiang Feng understood and pointed to the wooden sign on the side. The tomboy turned his head to look at the wooden card, and was about to pay for it, but the fake scholar who followed her couldn't help but scream.

"Why! Isn't it ten-liter? ”

"Others are ten texts. You are fifty wen. "The tolerance is tough.

"Why, why do we have to pay forty more than others?" The fake boy screamed, and his voice became sharper, and if he had paid a little attention to the tolerance at this time, he would have found that the boy was actually a maid. But the man apparently only thought of his money.

"Not by anything. You have to pay fifty dollars each. Can't get by? If you want to pass, pay quickly. Otherwise, just walk away. "The tolerance is arrogant.

"You ......" The fake bookboy was still up to fight, but her master stopped her.

"Forget it, just give him a hundred wen!" Tomboy said.

The fake scholar snorted heavily, then took out a hundred pieces from his sleeve and handed it to the hand.

After the two of them paid the money, they no longer bothered with the errands, and went to the ferry by the river. Now that the money is in hand, I don't have to bother them anymore.

Jiang Feng also hurriedly paid ten cents and got on the boat behind the two. At this time, a child's cry suddenly came from behind him.

Jiang Feng turned around. It turned out that the group of refugees who were driven away by two people, and a woman was crying because the child she was holding in her hand was squeezed and cried. Jiang Feng's heart softened, he originally planned to ignore this idle matter, but finally he couldn't help but walk towards the two tolerances.

"Two adults. Raise your hands and let them aboard! I paid the money they had to pay on their behalf. After speaking, Jiang Feng carefully took out a small piece of broken silver about two coins from his arms and handed it to the hand. But he didn't dare to take out the money bag. Seeing the shamelessness of the two tolerance charges, he was really afraid that after the two saw his money bag, he would also be blackmailed by them.

This time, the two men were still trustworthy, took the money, and let the refugees go.

The ferry boat at Lianjiang Ferry is not big, it can only accommodate about twenty people at a time, it turns out that there are already five or six people on it, plus Jiang Feng and two fake men, the refugees are about ten people on this boat.

The man in his fifties, who had just been named, also got on board. As soon as this person got on the boat, he gave Jiang Feng a deep salute.

"Thank you so much for your help today! Otherwise, we won't be able to cross the river, and we really don't know how to live in the future! As he spoke, the man was about to kowtow to Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng hurriedly pulled him, as a modern person, he was not used to being kowtowed.

"It's just a trivial matter of one or two hundred words, so you don't have to take it to heart." Jiang Feng said.

The man was helped up, and continued, "The villain's surname is Li and his name is Sanhe, from Mi County, Shaanxi. I don't know the name of Engongzun? ”

Jiang Feng then remembered that he still didn't even know his name. However, he naturally couldn't tell the other party like this. Suddenly remembered that the sword he was equipped with was engraved with the word "Yu", which should be his current surname, so he said, "My name is Yu Feng." ”

The two were talking, but they heard a cold snort next to them.

The two hurriedly turned their heads to look, and it turned out to be the tomboy from Fang Cai.

"I'm afraid that Brother Yu is going to do bad things with good intentions this time!" The tomboy sighed.

"Why?" Jiang Feng was puzzled.

The tomboy arched his hand towards Jiang Feng. "Li Yu in Xiaquanzhou. Didn't Brother Yu hear that there was a catastrophe in the Lianjiang Chen family right now? ”

"What Chen family? What catastrophe? Jiang Feng didn't understand it for a while.

Li Yu glanced at Jiang Feng in surprise. "Didn't Brother Yu hear what they said to him? Lianjiang Chen's family, naturally refers to Chen Yuanliang and Chen Yuan's foreign family! Didn't they just say that they were going to join the Chen family? ”

Jiang Feng then remembered Li Sanhe's conversation with those two tolerances, and nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, yes. However, what kind of catastrophe are you talking about, and what is going on? ”

Li Yu didn't answer, but said, "After entering the city in a while, you will know everything." Anyway, I advise everyone, don't rush to vote for the Chen family. lest the city gate catch fire — and the fish in the pond will be affected. The rest of the words were already spoken by Li Sanhe and a few others.

The Lianjiang River is not very wide, and soon it reaches the opposite bank. Jiang Feng heard that Li Yu's master and servant were also going to enter the city, so he walked with them.

The three of them paid another entry tax at the city gate. Fortunately, the tolerance for collecting taxes here is much better than that of the two at the Lianjiang Ferry, and they did not levy any more taxes on the refugees of the seventeen people behind.

As soon as he entered the city, Jiang Feng saw a group of people surrounding a notice posted by the city gate. Jiang Feng hurriedly leaned over to take a look. Seeing this, he immediately understood what happened to what Li Yu said about the Chen family's catastrophe.

It turned out that what was written on this notice actually said that there would be pirates attacking the city tonight, so that the people and officials in the city should not panic. The pirates are only here to take revenge on the Chen family, and they do not harm other innocent people.

After reading the notice, Jiang Feng was stunned, he didn't believe that there would be such pirates in this world, and he actually had to inform him before attacking the county seat. This piracy is too rampant! Could it be that the officers and soldiers are so worthless in their eyes? Jiang Feng couldn't figure it out.

And these refugees, although they had already been warned by Li Yu on the boat, they were still ready to go to Chen Yuanliang until they saw this notice. The crowd suddenly ran out of ideas.

"What should I do?" A group of refugees surrounded Li Sanhe. He was actually the leader of the group.

However, Li Sanhe couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, and the things that had been planned for a long time were completely disrupted by this small notice. He had no choice but to look at Li Yu as if asking for help. For the young man in front of him, many years of experience in life made Li Sanhe feel that he was not ordinary. Therefore, he is now eager to hear Li Yu's guidance.

"Anyway, everyone is here, and the Chen family has something to do only tonight. Why don't you find a place in the city to settle down for the night, and then decide tomorrow whether to go to the Chen family or not according to the situation. If the Chen family is still there, it's not too late for you to defect. If something happens, you won't be harmed. Li Yu is actually quite concerned about these refugees, and she has a certain affection for the poor.

Li Sanhe nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes!" But ......"

Li Yu could see Li Sanhe's concerns at a glance. "About a mile south of here, there's a ruined temple. Settle down there today! In case the Chen family is defeated. I'll help you think of something else. We can't watch so many of you cornered. After speaking, Li Yu took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and handed them to Li Sanhe.

"Take the silver first, and buy some food for everyone. Adults can starve, but children cannot. ”

Li Sanhe was grateful and knelt down all of a sudden. At the same time, he secretly rejoiced in his heart that his judgment was indeed correct. The other victims also knelt down with Li Sanhe.

Li Yu hurriedly waved his hand. "Get up. Get up! It's in the city, and it's not good to be watched. Go first! If something really happens to the Chen family tomorrow, I will come to the temple to meet you, and then think of other ways to arrange your future life. ”

Li Sanhe knew that what Li Yu said was right, in front of everyone in the city, such a large number of people suddenly knelt down in front of a person, which would naturally cause others to look sideways. Maybe it will make people mistakenly think that they are engaged in some kind of cult and bring unnecessary trouble to Li Yu, who is an old man in the end. So, he hurriedly called everyone up, and then hurried away with everyone.

Jiang Feng had been quietly watching this scene from the side and did not speak. It wasn't until Li Sanhe's group of people left that Ying'er beside Li Yu said to Jiang Feng, "How is it?" Yu Gongzi. Our young lady often said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Childe helped them cross the river, but only solved their immediate difficulties. If they can't find the master's family to run away, a large group of them will starve to death sooner or later! So how much difference does it make if Childe can't help them today? ”

Jiang Feng was a little embarrassed by the little girl's words, but he knew that she was indeed right. Fortunately, he has always been very thick-skinned, so he hurriedly made a teachable appearance and nodded again and again. "That's what the girl said!"

Ying'er was overwhelmed by Jiang Feng's words, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "You ......"

"Oh! Sorry sorry under the gaffe! Jiang Feng realized his mistake at this time, since the other party was dressed as a man, he didn't want others to see his identity. But he said it in one word, no wonder Ying'er was angry.
