Chapter 137: Nansha Island
Originally, he was still lucky, and planned to find a place where no one was there and send Yu Ren to the island, so that he could operate the boat and leave quickly. It doesn't have to be discovered by pirates.
However, when the boat docked, Yu Ren was not in a hurry to go ashore, but let the boatman go ashore first. The boatman was very puzzled, but he did not dare to ask, so he had to go ashore honestly.
Yu Ren also followed the boatman to the shore, and the boatman was forced by Yu Ren to go all the way forward, but he always carried his steps and walked very carefully, for fear that he would accidentally make something noise and attract pirates, and even the light sound of stepping on the dead tree would startle him.
Yu Ren was amused when he saw the boatman's cautious appearance, but he didn't care about him. The two walked for a short time when they saw a group of people coming from afar. As soon as the boatman saw this group of people, he turned around in fright and ran.
But the boatman must be a boatman, no matter how fast he is, he can't be as fast as Yu Ren. saw that Yu Xiaoxianggong once again revealed his rogue nature, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the boatman back.
"What are you running!"
"He, they're pirates!" The boatman said in a trembling voice.
Yu Ren laughed, "I'm looking for pirates." Rest assured, I'm here to make sure you're okay. I'll give you an extra five taels of fare when I go back. However, you can't tell anyone about today's events. Otherwise, I'll be doomed! In the end, Yu Ren's eyes showed a fierce light.
The boatman was frightened and nodded his head repeatedly.
The people on those islands also saw Yu Ren and them. These people were Xu Xinsu's subordinates, and they were responsible for patrolling in this area. When he saw that there were people on the island, he hurried over.
"Who? This is a private island, so you are not allowed to go to the island. Don't get out of here or you'll be imprisoned!" ”
When the boatman heard this, he turned around and was about to run, but was caught by Yu Ren.
"I'm a friend of your third master. I came to visit today. Yu Ren shouted.
When the patrolling man heard this, he stepped out of the man who looked like a small leader. He looked at Yu Ren and the two, not like some person with status. I didn't believe Yu Ren's words.
"You said you were a friend of our third master? But what evidence is there, our third master's friend, that is either the owner of the islands, or the heroes of the rivers and lakes. How can there be a scholar like a poor ghost like you? ”
Only then did Yu Ren remember that in order not to arouse the pirates' greed for him, he deliberately wore an ordinary old robe. It really doesn't look like a rich man. However, he was not in a hurry, because he knew that Xu Xinsu's subordinates were actually mainly engaged in business, and were not real pirates, so they would not kill people casually. Otherwise, when they saw the two of them, they wouldn't have reminded them and let them go to the island.
Thinking of this, Yu Ren hurriedly explained. "I am the nephew of Shen Yuanwai of the Shen family in Songjiang Mansion, because recently my uncle fell ill, and the old customers of the Shen family were robbed by the Xu family, I heard that there are many ships on your Nansha Island that go to sea to sell goods, so I want to discuss with your third master, can you enter our Shen family a few boats of cotton cloth. As for the price, we will definitely try to give it to you as cheaply as possible.
Several people listened to Yu Ren's words, whispered a few words, and seemed to have a small argument. Soon, however, they came to an agreement.
"It turned out that I was looking for the third master to talk about business. Come with me! The little leader said, putting away the knife in his hand.
Yu Ren and the others then followed behind the patrolling pirates and headed for the island.
After walking for about two miles, I saw a village appear in front of me. Several pirates led Yu Ren to a tall blue-brick house, while the boatman was led to a nearby hut and guarded by someone else.
Yu Ren looked at this place as magnificent, much taller and wider than ordinary houses, and it was estimated that it should be the leader's house, so his heart was much more solid. Thinking about Xu Hai coming for a while, how would I tell him about this.
Yu Ren believes that with his relationship with Li Ying, it is not difficult to ask them to help transport several boatloads of cotton cloth to sell overseas. The problem is that he is very tight now, and when the cotton cloth is shipped out, there must be money coming in immediately, otherwise the weaving house will be shut down immediately.
With this stoppage, the weavers will not be able to stay, and the Xu family will definitely take the opportunity to poach the weavers. I am afraid that when the time comes, when my cotton cloth is sold out, I want to reopen the weaving house, and I will not be able to find such a good skilled weaver. Without skilled weavers, the quality of cotton cloth cannot be guaranteed, and without quality, sales cannot be guaranteed. If such a vicious circle continues, I am afraid that the Shen family's weaving house will really close soon.
This is really a difficult problem.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a bald and bearded man walk out from the inside. Yu Renjian didn't know or care, just smiled politely. The man sat down next to Yu Ren with a big sting, and turned his head to look at Yu Ren with great interest. It was like looking at a piece of meat brought to his mouth.
Seeing this man staring at him like this, Yu Ren also became a little strange. However, he didn't know the identity of the other party, and he couldn't guess his intentions for a while. However, he is not very worried, there must be a relationship with Li Ying, I believe that Xu Xinsu will not do anything to him, at most he will just find some excuses and not help him.
"Do you want to see the third master?" The bald man looked at Yu Ren for a long time, and finally spoke.
Yu Ren saw that he was not polite when he asked this, and he didn't bother to answer him. Xindao, anyway, I can't tell you little Luo Luo clearly, I just wait for Xu Hai to come.
Standing next to the bald man on the side, who looked like this person's attendant, saw that Yu Ren didn't speak, so he became angry. He couldn't help but snort angrily, "Bold, you actually dare to have a fight with our Fourth Master Liu." Who do you think you are? Third master, hum! Is the third master so easy to see? Our fourth master is in a good mood today, and he happens to be free, so he came out to see you, that is your three lives of luck! You still dare to take a shelf in front of our fourth master! ”
The bald man saw that his subordinates had almost trained Yu Ren, so he raised his hand. "Forget it, the so-called ignorant are not guilty! I'm not the kind of person who is stingy, so I won't talk about it. Let's get down to business! ”
Yu Ren listened to Liu Siye's words, and only said: "I'm here to find Xu Hai and Xu Sanye." ”
The implication is: I don't have anything serious to talk about with you Liu Siye.
As soon as Liu Siye heard this, he suddenly stood up from his chair. Throw down the next sentence, "Okay, you have a kind!" Then he walked away.
Yu Ren ignored him either. Seeing this Liu Siye's arrogant appearance, Yu Ren felt uncomfortable in his heart. He believed that with his identity, even if Xu Xinsu came close, he would still be polite to him. What kind of thing is this Fourth Master Liu, and what can he do with himself?
However, Yu Ren was wrong! Soon, he realized what it means: Hades is better, but the little ghost is difficult.
Yu Ren was drinking tea with his head down, when four or five pirates immediately rushed up and surrounded him. The pirates, each with a steel knife in their hand, surrounded Yu Ren, and when they saw that Yu Ren did not resist, one of them came up with a rope and tried to tie him up.
Yu Ren would let this little Luo Luo tie up easily, and kicked the pirate over with a single kick. "What are you, and you dare to be wild in front of Lao Tzu. If you don't hurry up and report to you Xu Sanye, just say that Quanzhou Yuren specially landed on the island to visit today. Be careful of neglecting your guests, the third master can't spare you! ”
Yu Ren knew that these people must be the subordinates of Liu Siye. However, he didn't believe that this Fourth Master Liu would dare to do anything to him. If it was a small pirate with no status, Yu Ren might be worried. After all, they probably didn't even know that they were such a person. But this Fourth Master Liu obviously has a relatively high status in the Xu family, so he must have heard of himself.
And Liu Siye's status is obviously under Xu Hai. So, Yu Ren wasn't worried at all.
However, I didn't expect these guys to dare not buy Xu Hai's account.
"You kid thinks that if you have the third master covered, you can not put the fourth master in your eyes! Boy, today I will let you know who is the real second leader of the Xu family. ”
After speaking, several people moved towards Yu Ren together.
