? Chapter 286: The robber is on board

"Coming?" "It's coming!"

Although Tianjin Port has been much more prosperous in recent years, it is far from what it is like in later generations. Not to mention compared with Guangzhou and Quanzhou, even with Suzhou and Hangzhou, the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy is placed there, if it is not for the passage of Caoyun, in fact, the so-called Tianjin Port is just a big wharf with a bit of appearance.

Of course, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and the government has a tax bureau here, although some people's taxes are not allowed, but most of the time, they can still 'pump' some oil and water from the past businessmen, and this oil and water, except for the part that should be handed over or honored, and the rest is still considerable.

Relying on this tax bureau, the wharf on the shape of the industry, also began to flourish, shops, inns, porters, and even those old pearl yellow fireflies in the city, from time to time here to solicit business, the wharf are some 'fine' strong men, although they can't make a few big money, but these fireflies are also Miss Kuo to open a kiln, not to make money, just to have a good time.

At this moment, in the only inn on the dock, a room with a slight flickering light, several people dressed as "pale" porters gathered in the room, and let the sweat on their foreheads slowly condense into drops of sweat the size of soybeans on their faces, but it was as if they did not feel the stuffiness of the room at all.

"The order has come from above, the idea has arrived, our people are waiting in the open sea, do it tonight!"

"What about our mission?"

"Bring the people from your family ashore and bring them to the boat of the idea!" The person who spoke was obviously a leader-like person: "After this vote, our brothers can go back, and we don't have to stay in this breath-holding place anymore!" ”

At the same time, on the sea outside the port of Tianjin, a huge black shadow stopped there, like a huge monster, if you can look closely, you can find that this is a strange-shaped ship, completely different from those Ming ships traveling on the canal.

"Has Xu Qin come back yet?"

"Yes, my lord, Mr. Xu is changing his shirt below!"

Mu Haitao closed his eyes slightly, heard the return of his subordinates, and reconsidered his plan in his mind.

Although even if the adults transferred the gunboats, but, hurrying slowly, they still did not block this Dou Muyun's boat, the actual mountain, Mu Haitao did not think of waiting for the rabbit directly in Tianjin, but this Dou Muyun's luck is really good, from Incheon to Tianjin, the wind and waves along the way are quiet, not to mention, this season, there is actually a rare southwest wind, in this way, even if the gunboat under his feet has a little advantage in speed compared to the opponent's ship, it is almost offset by this day.

Mu Haitao and Dou Muyun actually arrived in Tianjin on their front and back feet, so that the attempt to intercept at sea suddenly came to naught, and he could only watch the other party's ship sail into the port. The gunboat called "Baisha" under his feet, but it couldn't drive into the port, just seeing those cannon 'doors', I was afraid that the guards on this shore would be 'chaotic', such ironclad ships, Daming did not have them, but it did not prevent the officers and soldiers of this guard post from treating this ship as some kind of widows.

However, there is still a chance, Dou Muyun arrived in the evening, so he will definitely not be able to get off the boat tonight, even if he gets off the boat, he can only stay at a nearby inn, and he still has a chance to end the matter tonight. Almost without thinking, he immediately sent someone ashore, that is, Xu Qin, who was changing clothes in the bilge at the moment, but he knew that many of the new immigrants in Xincheng had arrived in Xincheng from Tianjin, and there were still some manpower in this place.

When Xu Qin went ashore to contact Tianjin's heavenly opportunity, it was a purpose, and when the time came, with these internal responses, his subordinates could pretend to be strongmen on the ship to rob and get rid of the dead eunuch who brought trouble to the adults before the nearby officers and soldiers reacted. Of course, that Chi Qingfeng can't be kept. Then, before everyone could react, they immediately fled and returned to the new city.

"My lord, the matter is done, our brothers will pick us up when the time comes, there is a shoal five miles from the port, and our people can go directly to shore there!"

"The code or something, it's all agreed? You can't go wrong with this! ”

"It's all agreed, the light signal, four long and three short, and the subordinates will personally lead the team at that time!"

The clothes on Xu Qin's body at the moment are dressed as a porter, and people dressed like this abound on the dock, which is not eye-catching at all.

"The fire gun can't be used, the movement is too big, you can decide what to use, in short, you have to kill the first evil, don't worry about the rest, understand?" Mu Haitao straightened up and glanced at Xu Qin lightly: "I'm here, waiting for you to bring back the heads of those two thieves!" ”

"My subordinates understand!" Xu Qin answered cleanly.

"Waist cards or something, you can't bring anything that can find out the provenance, do the brothers on the shore recognize your appearance!?"

"If you recognize it clearly, you won't recognize the wrong person!" Xu Qin said affirmatively: "If there is a disadvantage, the brothers know the rules of the group, we are a group of thieves who are 'lost' by the goods on the ship, and our subordinates are the leaders of this strong man!" ”

"Well, go ahead!" Seeing Xu Qin's answer, Mu Haitao said softly and closed his eyes.

At the time, Tianjin Port, the sea ship "Houde".

Chi Qingfeng always had a feeling of depression that he couldn't speak, and it had lasted since his conversation with Dou Muyun yesterday. When the sea ship arrived at this Daming, this feeling was even more obvious. However, he attributed this feeling to a kind of worry about his uncertain future, and even when he was extremely impetuous, he used a few Buddhist verses to calm his mood.

Although he really wanted to set foot on the land of Daming immediately and take a look at the prosperity of Daming, Dou Gonggong blocked all his words as soon as he said that it was too late. It's better to stay in an inn on the shore than to stay in this rickety boat! Chi Qingfeng was a little aggrieved, and this grievance was only slightly relieved when he walked from the stuffy cabin to the deck and felt the cool breeze.

The 'door' of the family is unfortunate, out of this traitor! Thinking that all his entanglements came from that restless cousin, Chi Qingfeng simply hated it. He was thinking about his mind at the bow of the boat, but he didn't notice it, and behind him, on the side of the swarthy ship, a head slowly poked out.

Xu Qin crept onto the deck from the side of the ship, the person on the deck who had been facing away from him did not turn around, he took off the dagger he was shouting in his mouth, and 'touched' the place, and covered the opponent's mouth with his left hand in the night', and the dagger in his right hand wiped over the opponent's neck like lightning.

A stream of blood arrows burst out, and he even felt a few drops of warm blood fall on the back of his hand, he covered the other party's mouth in his hand, allowing the other party to struggle violently in vain in his arms, and then watched the other party's struggle, turning into a slight 'convulsion', he let go of his hand, and the corpse in his arms turned into a puddle of soft mud and slid to the ground.

On the side of the ship, many figures appeared one after another, and people kept climbing over from the side of the ship, and with his gestures, they ran silently towards the cabin.

The moon was very bright tonight, and he lowered his head and saw that the moonlight was shining under Chi Qingfeng's extremely distorted face, and he was dressed in a pale gray robe, which had already been soaked in darkness by the blood flowing from his body.

He kicked the other man's crotch, and it seemed that although this person was well-dressed, he was not the main person he was looking for. He wiped his knife on the other's clothes, and followed the last few men on board to make his way to the cabin.

"Ahh There was a short scream, and then as if it were like a duck that had been pinched by someone's throat, the cry stopped abruptly. However, this cry, in the quiet night, still seemed very harsh, at least, Xu Qin saw that the two adjacent ships began to move, and someone came out with lanterns to check.

Thanks to the internal guidance, otherwise, without wanting to alarm too many people, it is really not easy to find this ship in this night's 'color', Xu Qin didn't expect that at night, there were so many ships moored here in this broken dock.

"What's the matter, tell everyone to get up, look at it!" The ships on both sides obviously felt a little wrong, and one by one they began to be on guard, and some guards with blades also jumped out of it, looking at the Houde with nervous expressions.

And a few small boats a little farther away, the kind that had no escort at first glance, had already begun to sail away, obviously, no matter what happened in this night's 'color', they did not want to get involved, and it was the wisest choice to stay out of the matter and protect themselves.

There was already a sound of fighting in the cabin, and it seemed that the scream just now not only alarmed the people next to him, but also more people woke up on the Houde.

"Kill the rich and help the poor, and do the right thing for heaven!" Xu Qin stood up straight and shouted loudly, and his voice reached the ears of the people around him loudly with the night wind: "I Qingfeng Village is doing business here, I have nothing to do with people, so I have to make a noise!" ”

I'm '', this is the robber on board, or the robber who dares to show his name. When everyone heard this, they swallowed their saliva, and without saying a word, they immediately ordered their boatman to sail away from the boatman. As long as the robbers didn't get on their boats, they were already thankful, and it was something they didn't even think about if they were to meddle in their affairs and help the righteous and courageous.

Catching thieves is a matter for officers and soldiers, what do I do with honest businessmen, these days, the dead and poor Taoist friends, the people on that ship, you ask for more blessings!

Seeing that the surroundings were silent, and the ships were slowly leaving in a series of urgings, Xu Qin turned his head and walked down. I heard from my brothers on the shore that the officers and soldiers of the guard post were not far from here.
