Chapter 71: Salt Dealers
"Who are you Gu Wanchao?"
"The county lord of the emperor's own title, Gu Fu'an's granddaughter, you don't know about the palace that you have a little trouble with her on weekdays."
"But now you dare to attack her? Are you afraid that Gu Fu'an won't be able to catch your handle, so he specially sent him a handle to check on you? ”
Li Yu knew that he had lost his temper, and he still had to tell Li Changning some truths, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee that Li Changning would not do anything stupid next time.
Hearing this, Li Changning realized how big a mistake he had made.
"Auntie, I was wrong."
"What should I do now? Auntie, you can find a way to save me. ”
"Fortunately, nothing happened to Gu Wanchao, since she chose to throw you back to the princess's mansion, it proves that she is not prepared to pursue it."
"You just thank God, otherwise this palace will have to be pulled into the water by you." Li Yu really didn't want to see Li Changning's appearance of crying and crying when he did something stupid, so he stood up and turned his back to her.
"Go back, you have to reflect on yourself, this palace doesn't want to see similar things happen in the future." Li Yu opened his mouth and gave an eviction order, and when Li Changning heard this, he hurriedly ran out as if he had been amnestied.
At this time, after Xiao Yu'an sent Gu Wanchao back to Gu's mansion, he hurried back to the Tongju Mansion.
In Gu's mansion, the Liu family, who had not seen Gu Wanchao come back for a long time, was sitting on pins and needles in the room.
The night is getting darker, what has Princess Yimeng said that she hasn't finished saying for so long?
"Miss, you're back." Liu was worried, Xia He's voice outside suddenly sounded, and Liu anxiously greeted him.
"Why are you only coming back now?" Liu Shi looked at Gu Wanchao at the door and asked worriedly.
Looking at the Liu family in front of him, Gu Wanchao almost undetectably hid his hands behind him, hiding the red marks that were tied up on his wrists.
"The rise of chatting on a spur of the moment forgets the time, which makes my mother worried."
"It's okay, my mother saw that you haven't returned for a long time, I'm really worried that something happened, it's okay." As a person who practices martial arts, where can she not see Gu Wanchao's small movements? It's just that Gu Wanchao wasn't going to say it, so she didn't ask.
If she wanted to know what was going on, she would have looked back.
"Don't worry, mother, what can happen to me, I'm a kung fu person now, no one can hurt me." Gu Wanchao looked at Liu with a smile and raised his feet into the bedroom.
"Yes, yes, it's my mother who is too worried. Hungry? If you're hungry, ask them to get you something to eat. Liu followed her and echoed her words.
"I'm not hungry, I'm just a little tired and want to rest." Gu Wanchao shook his head and yawned, trying his best to show how sleepy he was.
Seeing this, the Liu family touched Gu Wanchao's head dotingly, "Okay, then rest early." ”
"Hmm." Gu Wanchao nodded.
Then, the Liu family walked out of Gu Wanchao's bedroom, and after seeing the Liu family leave, Gu Wanchao asked Xia He to find her an ointment.
"Miss, what's the matter?" Originally, when Gu Wanchao asked Xia He to find the ointment, she was still a little confused, but now after seeing the red marks on Gu Wanchao's hands, she knew what Gu Wanchao wanted the ointment to do.
"You can be quieter, Chun Tao is straight and fierce, you let her know again, and you can't preach it directly to me." Gu Wanchao looked at Xia He, who was making a fuss, and reminded him loudly.
"Don't worry, it's okay, I accidentally let the reins and strangle when I was riding a horse, you can keep it a secret for me." Gu Wanchao casually told a lie and perfunctory the matter.
After applying the ointment, Gu Wanchao washed up and fell asleep.
When he arrived, a carrier pigeon flew to Xiao Yu'an's bedroom, Xiao Yu'an was woken up by the sound of the carrier pigeon knocking on the window, he got up from the bed and opened the window.
After seeing the carrier pigeon next to the bed, Xiao Yuan hurriedly took down the letter on it, he looked at the content of the letter, and turned around to leave.
At this time, the lights in the Tongju Mansion were bright, and after Xiao Yu'an counted the officers and soldiers around him, he led people towards the riverside wharf.
At this time, Lin Ya was still hiding in the dark to check these salt merchants who sold illicit salt trading illicit salt, seeing that the transaction was about to end, Xiao Yu'an had not brought anyone here, he was alone and did not dare to act rashly, so he could only wait anxiously.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Xiao Yu'an finally arrived late with the officers and soldiers, and Lin Ya on the side hurriedly greeted him when he saw this.
"Chief, the officers and soldiers are here." The salt merchant's sentry men ran over and informed the salt merchant of the arrival of the officers and soldiers.
Hearing this, the salt merchant glanced at the salt bags that had not been carried on the ship, and he gritted his teeth, "Let's go, the officers and soldiers are here, these don't need it, it's important to save your life." ”
As soon as his voice fell, everyone got on the boat neatly, and another salt merchant who came to deliver salt hurriedly turned the bow of the boat and prepared to flee.
Xiao Yu'an had already arrived at the dock at this moment, and seeing that the salt merchant's ship was getting farther and farther away, he took the arrows in the hands of the officers and soldiers on the side, wrapped them in cloth on the scissors, and dipped them in the tung oil prepared in advance.
He lit the arrow, aimed it at one of the ships, and shot it impartially, and the rocket landed right on the sack of salt.
"Boss. The back is on fire. Seeing that the salt bag was on fire, his men hurriedly ran over and shouted.
Hearing this, the salt merchant hurriedly came over and immediately threw the burning salt bag into the river.
"The general judgment of the Beijing government? Good, well done! If you let Lao Tzu have no business to do, Lao Tzu will let you have a life to come and go. The salt merchant looked at Xiao Yu'an, who had already come on the boat and chased after him, and said this viciously.
Subsequently, all the smugglers also drew their swords from the boat, preparing to fight with Xiao Yu'an, who was chasing after him.
"These smugglers are outlaws, don't get too close to them, just shoot rockets at his ship." Xiao Yu'an had already lost two dead soldiers who were watching some salt merchants before, and he knew that he couldn't go head-to-head with them, so he thought of this method when he came.
"Yes." The officers and men received the order and shot arrows at the ships in front of them.
At this time, under the water, the people arranged by Xiao Yu'an were quietly approaching the salt merchant ship in front.
"Chief, the fire on this ship is getting bigger and bigger, let them shoot down, this ship will not last more than a quarter of an hour, or let's abandon the ship and escape, shall we? Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. ”
Now that the fire on the salt ship is getting bigger and bigger, these smugglers finally have a little fear in their hearts.
"Jump." The salt merchant hesitated for a moment, although he was very reluctant to carry this batch of goods, but money was not as important as life, so he finally chose to jump into the river to save his life.
However, Xiao Yu'an was waiting for them to jump into the river, and these people jumped into the river, and the people below came out one after another, taking the salt merchant by surprise.
For a time, the firelight illuminated the entire river, and the river water at this time was stained red with blood.
