Chapter 39: Boiling Beans and Burning Basket (7)



"Get on board and see!" The desert dropped a word, walked briskly in a few steps, and jumped onto the front boat with a thud.

Zhu Wenyu and the others also felt bad, and each found a boat to jump on.

Zhu Wenyu jumped on the boat, but saw a soldier on the deck quietly leaning on the side of the ship, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, but when he reached out and touched it, he was already breathless, and he died there.

Zhu Wenyu's figure flashed, and he rushed into the cabin, only to see that there were pieces of blood red everywhere, a bloody atmosphere, and several soldiers fell horizontally on the floor of the cabin, and the hatch cover had been pried up, revealing the cargo hold under the board, and there were actually two boxes in the hatch. More than 3 million taels of silver were collected from the Valley of Heavenly Clothes, which were divided into more than 20 boxes, and each boat put a few of them, and these two boxes were two of them!

Zhu Wenyu quickly cut off the iron lock, opened it, and saw that there was a white bright light inside, which was very dazzling under the oil lamp, it was an ingot of silver!

The soldiers are dead, the hold is open, the boxes are moved out, but the silver is still there!

Zhu Wenyu couldn't get around the corner for a while, and was stunned.

After a while, Nangong Ling Desert and others rushed into the cabin: "Brother Zhu, everyone is dead, some have been burned to death, and some have been hacked to death. ”

"Where's the silver?" Zhu Wenyu asked casually.

"The strange thing is here, the boxes have been moved out, but the silver is still there, and there are no more boxes!" Nangong Ling's words were also full of surprise.

"How could it be ......," Zhu Wenyu muttered.

"Brother Yu, come here, there is someone here." Tang Yun shouted from the other boat.

As soon as Zhu Wenyu and the others rushed out of the cabin, a few take-offs and landings had already arrived on Tang Yun's boat and rushed into the cabin. But I saw Tang Yun supporting a soldier covered in blood, the soldier was stabbed in the waist with a knife, and fell weakly in the chair, blood flowed all over the ground, his eyes were scattered, but he was short of breath, and he hadn't swallowed his breath yet, but I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold it for long.

Zhu Wenyu hurriedly counted at the soldier, sealed the bleeding, slapped his palm on his back, and slowly injected true qi.

After a while, the soldier's face seemed to be a little ruddy, his breathing was much calmer, and he opened his eyes slightly: "Your Excellency, ......"

"Who did it?" Zhu Wenyu shouted.

Cui Yan...... With a group of soldiers...... See...... Kill people when they see them...... All dead...... Silver...... All the money is lost...... Failure to protect ...... Subordinate...... The sin deserves death...... "The soldier said weakly.

"You can go with confidence, the money is not lost." Desert chimed in.

"Wan ...... Lucky...... Newspaper grandson...... Master Sun...... The subordinates didn't ...... Didn't give him the old man...... The old man lost ...... Embarrassed ......" struggled to finish, tilted his head, and died of anger. That soldier was just an ordinary soldier, who had not practiced martial arts, and under serious injuries, even if Zhu Wenyu lost his true qi, he was powerless to return to the sky, and he couldn't hold on any longer.

Zhu Wenyu saw the hint of relief on the soldier's face before he died, and his heart was really uncomfortable.

"No silver has been lost in this ship." In this moment, Nangong Ling had already checked in a hurry, the cargo compartment on this ship had not been opened, and when he went in, he saw that the box was also placed in its place, no one had touched it, and there were no more than one box.

"Cui Yan!" Zhu Wenyu snorted coldly, he had never felt such a hatred for a person, but at this time, he hated Cui Yan to the bone, just because he was so ruthless to these soldiers guarding the ship, and he didn't leave any of them.

"At this time, Cui Yan must have fled, and it is useless to chase him." Desert frowned and said: "It's just strange why the silver hasn't been lost at all, Cui Yan is not without people, and it's not that there is no time, judging from the other ships, the boxes have been carried out, and they can be taken away with a word, but why are they left?" ”

When he was talking, Bai Yuwei had already lifted the curtain and entered, and she was actually wet, and what was even more strange was that there was actually a person behind her! Zhu Wenyu fixed his eyes and saw that it was the young gang leader of the Chaotian Gang, Wu Wei.

As soon as Wu Wei saw Zhu Wenyu, he immediately bowed to the ground: "My lord, the villain is not careful to protect the boat, please surrender my lord!"

"Brother Wu, get up, get up." Zhu Wenyu saw that Wu Wei was also covered in blood, and hurriedly said: "Where is Brother Wu hiding to be spared?" What's going on? ”

That Wu Wei stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Back to my lord, after the lord followed Cui Yan into the city, there was a large group of officers and soldiers coming, and there were more than a dozen people on each boat, saying that they were on the order of General Cui to protect the boat, and the villain didn't care, who knew that after night, that Cui Yan suddenly came, as soon as he came, I don't know what to say, those officers and soldiers cut with knives, and there are a few good hands inside, and the acupoint techniques are not weak, all of them are fatal, the villain is not guarded, and he was also stabbed, seeing that they are powerful and unable to resist, he turned over and pretended to be injured and fell into the water, Hidden under the ship. After a while, all of our people were killed, only Cui Yan's people were left, they started to pry the cabin board, moved the silver, and the villain didn't dare to move, if they found out, they would be sent to death, it was better to see who they were, and report to the adults. ”

"Well, exactly, Brother Wu did a good job, so what happened later?"

"Those officers and soldiers were moving silver, and I don't know where to get out of a person to find Cui Yan, and then Cui Yan shouted a few words, and those officers and soldiers actually withdrew, and even the boxes that had been moved to the shore were moved back to the ship, and I don't know why. Anyway, the villain hid in the water, and I saw that those people left empty-handed, without carrying any boxes at all. The villain was afraid that they would go and return, and he didn't dare to return to the boat, so he kept hiding, but after half a meal, the adult came, and the villain wanted to come up to report the news, but he was stabbed and couldn't get on the boat, or the white gang leader saved the villain, and I have to thank the white gang leader. After that, he clasped his fists and saluted Bai Yuwei.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Bai Yuwei hurriedly returned the salute, and when she moved, pieces of water droplets fell on the deck.

"What was supposed to be moved to shore moved back?" Desert Wonderland.

"Yes, the villain saw it with his own eyes, and he can't be wrong." Wu Wei hurriedly hugged his fists.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's not that Brother Wu is wrong." Desert hurriedly argued: "I just think it's strange below. Brother Zhu. The desert turned to Zhu Wenyu: "From the perspective of time, plus the fact that Cui Yan can put down millions of silver and leave, there is only one person who thinks about it." ”

"Mr. Two?" Hearing Wu Wei say this, Zhu Wenyu actually thought of Chen Hanyi for a long time, but when Desert said this, he seemed to feel the same way.

But the desert no longer speaks.

"He? Why is he like this? Zhu Wenyu muttered.

"This, I'm afraid only Brother Zhu knows best. I heard Miss Tang say that Chen Hanyi had been to the county government and had spoken to Brother Zhu, but as for what he said, Brother Zhu didn't say it, and it was inconvenient for others to ask. It's just that from this point of view, Chen Hanyi seems to have eliminated his hostility towards Brother Zhu, and even left the silver in his hand, I'm afraid ...... "The desert wants to stop talking."

Zhu Wenyu was very irritable in his heart, and it was impossible for him to publicize the matter of his belly pocket everywhere, but if he didn't say it, he couldn't explain why Chen Hanyi did this.

Seeing Zhu Wenyu's hesitation, Desert hurriedly played a round: "Don't say it, don't say it, let him Chen Hanyi do it, maybe he's crazy." Hehe, the most important thing at the moment is to find someone to send more soldiers to protect the ship, and there must be no mistakes. As for the magistrate Li Bo, I don't know if he and Cui Yan are in the same party. ”

"Regardless of whether Li Bo is in the same party or not, in short, the officers and soldiers of Tongling cannot be used, and I am afraid that troops will have to be transferred from other places. Before the soldiers came, we had to guard the silver ship day and night, and asked Li Bo to deliver food, and the rest must not be done, if something really goes wrong, I'm afraid Brother Zhu can't afford it. Nangong Ling shook his head.

"Well, exactly, you have to go to Li Bo immediately." Desert nodded.

"I'll go." Nangong Lingdao.

"Brother Nangong doesn't know where Li Bo lives, and he is not familiar with the rules of officialdom, so he doesn't know who to ask. Besides, the escort ship is more important, so let's go on a trip, Brother Nangong will stay here with Brother Zhu and Miss Tang Bai. Desert Road, without waiting for the others to reply, turned around, jumped off the boat, and disappeared into the night in a short time.

From beginning to end, Zhu Wenyu never spoke again, he was really bored in his heart, but he didn't know what was annoying, thinking of those two belly pockets, he sighed softly.

But after a meal, the desert has turned, and there are more than ten soldiers guarding an official sedan chair, running to come, the sedan chair driver is sweating, just arrived at the dock to stop, not waiting for the sedan chair man to press the sedan chair, the county magistrate Li Bo has been busy lifting the sedan curtain and drilled out, stumbling out of the sedan bar, trembling and climbing onto Zhu Wenyu's boat, eagerly rushed into the cabin, "plopped" and knelt down in front of Zhu Wenyu's feet, and shouted in his mouth: "The crime of the lower official deserves death!" Sin deserves death!" Seeing that Tang Yun was all "fluttering", he covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Get up. Master Lee. Zhu Wenyu didn't have much thought, sat in place, and raised his hand casually.

"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare. The subordinate officials did not handle things well, and the traitor Cui Yan frightened Lord Qincha, and the subordinate officials deserved to die for their crimes, and they deserved to die for their crimes. As he said Li Bo, he kowtowed repeatedly, causing the deck to rattle.

"Then where did Cui Yan come from?" Zhu Wenyu asked.

"This subordinate official also doesn't know, the Ming Dynasty has always divided the military and the government, Cui Yan is a local general in Tongling, and he is personally ordered by the direct subordinate to the envoy Zhao, and the subordinate has no right to interfere, and the origin is really unknown. The traitor Cui Yan has been guarding Tongling for seven or eight years, and he has been here when the lower officials took office, and his qualifications are much older than the lower officials, and the lower officials dare not offend. Who would have thought that it would be a rebel! It's lawless, and the crime is heinous!" After that, he kowtowed again and again.

"It's none of your business, so get up and talk first." When Zhu Wenyu heard Li Bo say this, he estimated that the matter between Cui Yan and the Tianyi Alliance had little to do with Li Bo, and raised his hand.

"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare." Li Bo still kowtowed repeatedly.

"I'll get you up, what's the fuss?" Zhu Wenyu was in an extremely irritable mood tonight, how could he still be as good as usual, seeing that Li Bo couldn't afford it, he couldn't help but shout.

Li Bo was startled, and stood up involuntarily, but he still didn't dare to raise his head, and half-bent over: "Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ......: "Facing Lord Qincha, I don't know how to speak for a while.

"Who will be in charge of the military and political affairs of Chizhou Mansion?"

"Lord Hui Qincha, Chizhou Mansion Qian is always General Zhang Qianshan Zhang."

"Zhang Qianshan!" Zhu Wenyu was startled and stood up suddenly. But after thinking about it, Zhang Qianshan, the leader of the guards in the forbidden palace, "Wanyue Hook Soul", had already died under the hands of the "Thunder Swordsman" Nangong Lei, and there were many people with the same name and surname in the world, which was not unusual at all, and slowly sat down again.

"Brother Zhu, Cui Yan is the Tianyi Alliance, and I don't know if there is anything to do with it in Chizhou Mansion, so it's better to be careful. This place is not far from the capital, so it is safest to simply ask the emperor for orders and transfer the Imperial Forest Army or Jinyi Guard directly from the capital. The desert whispered to the side.

"Hmm." Zhu Wenyu pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "Li Bo!"

"The lower official is here." Li Bo hurriedly replied.
