Under the enthusiastic support of the officials at Yunxia Ferry, Huang Zhang and his entourage not only obtained a big ship, but also received a lot of filial piety.

I have to say that the folk customs here are really simple, and the "local products" sent by these officials are also on the road.

With the big ship, Hong Gonggong suffered again.

She couldn't get on the boat, but in order to get to Kyoto earlier, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Grandpa Hong was really scared, he originally thought that taking Huang Zhang back would be a simple errand, but who would have thought that it would be so tortuous, and almost let her put her life into it.

It's much better to get on the boat now, just wait quietly for a few days to arrive in Kyoto.

As soon as he arrives in Kyoto, he can completely relax and no longer have to worry about it all day.

It is no exaggeration to say that the lives of their boatload of people are tied to Huang Zhang alone, and if Huang Zhang has the slightest loss, they will end up miserable.

His Majesty the Emperor will not allow the loss of a second prince in a short period of time.

"Your Highness, there is a situation!"

Huang Zhang was resting in the cabin at the moment when he suddenly heard a message from Cen Cen.

"What's the situation?"

Huang Zhang immediately followed Cen Shang to the deck.

At this moment, the sky is getting darker, and the weather is gradually getting cooler during this time, and there are not many boats on the Sichuan River.

Near their ship, a horrific hijacking suddenly occurred.

Several small boats carried some masked gangsters and began to loot a merchant ship.

The torches on the river swayed and the shouts of killing were everywhere, making people worry about whether they would affect themselves.

Huang Zhang didn't expect to encounter a water thief who hijacked a ship.

Naturally, he would not sit idly by, and immediately ordered the ship to be sailed over.

Water thieves will also identify objects, like Huang Zhang, they belong to official ships, not to mention oil and water, and may even suffer losses.

Therefore, the pirates generally do not target official ships, but rob some passing merchant ships.

When encountering these water thieves, the merchant ships equipped with escorts will generally resist, and if they really can't resist, they will obediently pay money to keep them safe.

Most of the water thieves only want money, not life, you just want to make money, even if you are caught, the crime is small, killing is a big crime, and being caught is a death.

Therefore, it is rare to see water thieves with a bad nature on the Sichuan River.

But today they met.

The gang of thieves who had killed the merchant ship and began to slaughter them on a massive scale had no basic morality at all.

This kind of is the target of the government's severe crackdown.

If it is not removed, it will cause the merchants to tremble, and eventually the wind will be loud and affect the local economy and taxes.

Seeing that the gang of water thieves began to massacre recklessly, Huang Zhang was just about to make a move, and Hu Yier and Ban Hong beside him had already made a move.

Both were second-rate masters, and they had already jumped from one ship to the other in the leap.

With the addition of the two, the slaughter of these water thieves began to be stopped.

It seems that they didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to provoke the water thieves, and they were a little blindsided for a while.

The water thief at the head saw that Hu Yi'er and Ban Hong's strength was not bad, and immediately persuaded: "Where did you come from, Chuanjiang Sailman is doing something, leave quickly, otherwise, you can't afford to offend!" ”

Hu Yier was worried that she couldn't find the leader, but she didn't expect the other party to send it herself.

After following Huang Zhang for so long, she naturally understood the truth that the thief captures the king first.

As soon as the leader of the Sichuan River Sail Thieves spoke, Hu Yi'er moved towards him.

Seeing that these two people did not enter the oil and salt, the group of water thieves did not say much more, and surrounded the two of them.

I thought there were a lot of them, but when they got to the back, they found that they couldn't beat the two people they were surrounding.

Seeing this, the water thief wanted to slip away.

It's a pity that Huang Zhang has been waiting for a long time.

"Whoa—"

As soon as the leader of the water thieves wanted to jump ship, he was shot in the thigh by an arrow from Huang Zhang, and immediately rolled over the boat and wailed.

Subsequently, Cen Shang had already brought the reinforcement of the forbidden army soldiers to the past, and took down all the remaining water thieves.

Father-in-law Hong was also shocked by this huge movement, and when she was helped to the deck, she saw the picture of the forbidden army subduing the water thieves.

"This ...... What's going on? Grandpa Hong was taken aback by the scene in front of him.

How can you still encounter things when you go by water? It's really against the sky.

"Father-in-law Hong, don't worry, I can deal with this little thing, come on! Help my father-in-law in. ”

Gonggong Hong was already uncomfortable, but at this moment, when he saw that he could still encounter water thieves on a boat, he was even more worried, and his face was full of worry.

But at the moment, he couldn't do anything, so he had to let the attendants help her down.

After helping Gonggong Hong back, after a short time, Cen Shang brought the two of them over.

One is the leader of the pirates who was escorted, and the other is the merchant merchant who was looted tonight.

The leader of the water thieves was sweating profusely at the moment, and was dragged over by the soldiers of the forbidden army like a mess of mud at this moment.

As for the merchant, he was happy, a feeling of the rest of his life.

"Xiaomin, thank you for saving this adult, if there is no adult to help, I'm afraid today, Xiaomin has been buried in the belly of the fish."

"Item?"

This name Huang Zhang only felt familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Which Chamber of Commerce are you from?"

"Xiaomin Beifu County Xiangjia Chamber of Commerce, this trip is preparing to return to Beifu County from the capital, I never thought that I would encounter such a thing."

As soon as he heard that it was from Beifu County, Huang Zhang immediately recalled it.

"Do you know the Xiang Family Chamber of Commerce in Linjiang City?"

"Linjiang City? My Xiang Family Chamber of Commerce did do business in Linjiang City, I don't know how the adults found out? ”

As soon as Xiang Jian said this, Huang Zhang was completely determined.

"Do you know someone named Xiang Gao?"

As soon as Xiang Gao's two words came out, Xiang Gao's pupils dilated slightly, but then he recovered, and said with a calm face: "I haven't heard of it." ”

His expression changed, and Huang Zhang kept looking at it, and he concluded that he was lying.

Huang Zhang remembered correctly, Xiang Gao stole the things of the Xiang Family Chamber of Commerce, and was later kicked out of the Xiang Family Chamber of Commerce by the head of the Xiang family.

Since Xiang Jian knew Linjiang City, there was no reason not to know Xiang Gao.

"Even if I don't know each other, I'm just curious to ask, after all, there was a relationship at the beginning. By the way, your fleet has been robbed by pirates, what should you do next? Go to the police? ”

Seeing that Huang Zhang didn't ask reluctantly, Xiang Jian was also relieved, but when he heard that he was going to report to the official, he immediately waved his hand.

"These water thieves have been taken down by adults, there are adults here, presumably they can't escape, there is still an urgent matter on the small people's side, so they won't stay, if the adults need proof, you can find the Xiang Family Chamber of Commerce, and we will send someone to testify."

After speaking, Xiang Jian wanted to retreat, but was suddenly pulled by Huang Zhang.

"Hey, what's the hurry, it's about to get dark, who knows if there are any of these water thieves nearby, you are in such a hurry to leave, in case you meet their comrades, isn't it dangerous?"

"This ......"

When Xiang Jian heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he had to reluctantly stay.

Of course, if he wants to leave, he has to go.
