Although the wharf of Liuzhou City is deserted, the city is quite lively, there are many merchants who have just made a lot of money and wandered around Liuzhou to receive goods, and there are many young people who heard about the situation in Liuzhou in the countryside and later looked for work in Liuzhou City.

Now it is April, although it is the spring ploughing time, but as long as there is enough labor at home, the excess light and strong will go into the city to find work, after all, the wharf merchants are making huge profits, not bad that little hard labor fee, often in order to save time will recruit temporary workers, the shot is also broad, many times young people are a little lucky, one or two months to earn wages can be worth a year's harvest in their own fields.

Especially now, the wharf is short of people, Liuzhou is tax-free, most of the merchants unload here, have time to go in a hurry, are willing to pay a high price, I heard that a lot of brave young people who came early have earned several times the money on weekdays these days, as soon as the news spread, more and more young people in the countryside have entered the city.

But what I didn't expect was that it was only a few days, and there was no work left.

led to a group of young people wandering around the street in groups, scolding and scolding, looking like they had been deceived.

"Brother Li, have you received a job?"

Near the mansion, more than a dozen young people gathered in Ma Erniang's restaurant to sit idle, they were all from the same village as Ma Erniang, after receiving the news of Ma Erniang, they all entered the city one after another, and those who came early earned several days' wages, but those who came late, such as Zhao Tiezhu, who asked the question, did a day's work, although they also got some money, but they slipped back like this, and they were afraid that they would be scolded to death by their own mother-in-law.

"How can you live?" The big man who was called Brother Li sighed and shook his head, found a place to sit down, took a sip of the boiling water handed over by Zhao Tiezhu, and gasped: "It's not that you haven't seen the situation at the dock now, there is no ghost shadow, where does the boat come from?" It's really strange, the dock with a lot of boats was almost unstuffed a few days ago, why did it suddenly disappear in the past few days? ”

Others also nodded, many people simply gave up the fields because their fields were thin, and came in to make a wave, but this time the money didn't earn a few days and didn't live, this can be people's lives, missed the spring ploughing and didn't earn wages, how can you get over this year?

For a while, a group of people had sad faces, and Ma Erniang in the distance did not dare to approach, for fear of being blamed and poked in the back by fellow villagers.

After all, most of them were brought by her.

In such a solemn atmosphere, suddenly a gong and drum beating at the entrance of the government attracted everyone's attention.

"The imperial court has recruited, the imperial court has recruited!"

The one who shouted for the head was Gu Bei, who was known to many young people in the city, and the people who came around for a while showed indignation, after all, many people were fooled by Gu Bei's group of guys, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, this guy was mixed up with the government, and some people immediately realized that they might have been trapped.

"Recruitment? Is it a water recruiter? Zhao Tiezhu and a few people in the hall were stunned for a moment, and immediately became interested, now that he is not alive, if he can join the army.....

"My lord, is it a water recruiter?" Some people who understand the market asked.

Jiangnan sailors are popular, there are not many wars, and there is a lot of oil and water, but it is very rare to want to get in, the so-called good men are not soldiers, but these soldiers are not in the chain of contempt.

"Recruit soldiers!" Gu Bei said with a smile.

Soldiers?

A group of people immediately shook their heads and lost interest when they heard this, the government soldiers are not the same as the sailors, they do dirty work, and they have to take on the responsibility of suppressing bandits in the countryside, which is a risky and unpromising job, unless they are too hungry to live, who is going to do this?

Although the sailors also paid off the water bandits, the Jiangnan sailors were powerful, and there were very few water bandits who dared to make trouble, but the mountain bandits in the complex countryside were very strong.

When he was shaking his head and preparing to disperse, he saw Gu Bei knocking on a gong and drum again and shouted: "Come and see, the government recruits soldiers, ten or two months' salary, three meals, and meat!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soles of the feet of the young men who were about to disperse suddenly took root, and they immediately couldn't walk, and they all turned around and looked at Gu Bei with excitement, like a panting bull!

"Gu Tou'er, don't laugh!" Some young men who were a little sensible couldn't help but say.

"In front of the official mansion, the official document is announced, how can you laugh?" Gu Bei glared at the other party and said, "See clearly, this is a list with the official seal, and the prefect has a seal!" ”

"Really?" A group of people excitedly gathered around, staring at the so-called list text, but most of them didn't know how to read, so they could only be in a hurry!

"Fellow villagers, rest assured, I can deceive people in Gubei, and the official literature list can still deceive people? How many recruits there are, and those who want to sign up hurry! ”

"Me, me, me!" A group of people suddenly approached like crazy.

Ten taels of silver, isn't it a hundred taels a year? The money for the children to go to the city to study is more than enough, this is ..... Whoever doesn't do it is a fool!

"Eh, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, stand in line, this time there are a lot of people, everyone has a share, don't squeeze!"

"By the way, you can make it clear in advance that this army is going to enter the countryside to suppress bandits, but the work of the head is on the waist!"

"Isn't his grandmother's a bandit? If the money is enough, the life of the prefect is the prefect's! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" A group of people immediately responded with red faces, and just responded to Wei Gongcheng's words, recruiting troops to make a lot of profits!

In the palace, Zhou Haitao, who was looking at this warm situation, smiled bitterly, as soon as he brought the dads back from Baishui County, he heard Wei Gongcheng say that he wanted to recruit soldiers, and he almost jumped up in fright when he saw the treatment, everyone is a city head cat Their treatment, this trick will recruit thousands of people, where is the money?

"Old Wei, do you think adults are crazy?" Zhou Haitao looked at the young men who were painted one by one, his distressed face twitched, there was meat at every meal, he was a dignified official, and he had to go to Ma Erniang to help every time he wanted to eat meat, after reading for so many years, he was not as good as these country men, why is this?

"I also think ......" Wei Gongcheng also smiled bitterly, this treatment, raising thousands of people, is the cost of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, this is simply throwing money, and looking at Chen Qing's tone before, it seems that there are more than 1,000 people, how many moves!

"By the way, what about the Lord?" The fat man frowned: "I don't care if he can't afford to pay at that time." ”

Wei Gongcheng frowned slightly, looked up at the sky, and talked about Chen Qing's whereabouts, which made him a little uneasy.

Before leaving, he told Gu Bei not to let people go out of the city at night, but now it was dusk, and he was still outside the city.

By the way, what will be there at night? Why is it so important not to go out of town?

----------------------------------------------

"It's dusk again."

On the Shen family's boat, Shen Yiyun looked at the sky and muttered to himself, while on the side, Chen Ying was pale and was held by Murong Yunji, looking at the pair of eyes in the cabin that were extremely eager for herself.

The eyes in the dark cabin were a little scarlet, like hungry beasts!

After hearing the old nine of the Shen family say that she wanted herself, she wanted to run as soon as possible, but where could she run past Murong Yunji, who is known as the King of Wind?

Almost without any suspense, he was caught.

"Sister-in-law, give me someone quickly!"

In the cabin, Lao Jiu's voice urged impatiently!

The sister-in-law looked at the cabin with a smile: "Lao Jiu seems to miss his daughter-in-law, look at this look, if this woman goes in, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it alive?" ”

Shen Yiyun looked at Lao Jiu in the cabin, his eyes were extremely complicated, he agreed with his sister-in-law's words, Lao Jiu at this time really wanted to eat this little girl alive, the literal kind.

"Old Ninth ......" Shen Yiyun said in a deep voice: "What do you want this woman to do?" ”

"I want her, I want her!" Lao Jiu's sharp claws gripped the template, making a terrible grinding sound, and the voice was hurried and impatient.

Chen Ying bit her lip stubbornly, and suddenly regretted such a risk, she had just had such a big opportunity, did she want to die here in such a humiliation?

In my mind, at the moment of crisis, I didn't think of my own master, but the weak scholar who looked indifferent at any time.

If he dies like this, will his expression of not taking everything seriously at any time change? After all, it was only such a heavy dowry.....

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a strange sound of waves crashing in the distance.

But the sound sounded something wrong, like a wave crashing against the flesh, and there seemed to be a lot of inexplicable roars in the impact.

Shen Yiyun looked up, but found that there was a black mist not far away.

There is a black fog in the white fog, it feels very weird, and it is very uncomfortable, it feels like some kind of terrifying shadow has fallen!

"A warship?"

Murong Yunji held Chen Ying, took a step forward, and looked ahead suspiciously, in the shadows, what vaguely appeared was a huge military ship, and ..... It seems to be the one of Yu Chi Feihong!

And what is terrifying is not the warship, but the group under the warship, the black oppression, the waves are all stuffed, corpses!

"Oh, finally caught up!"

A familiar voice came from the bow of the ship, but it was a figure that surprised the Shen family.

"It's actually Lord Shen here!" Shen Yiyun hurriedly walked to the bow of the boat and saluted: "Lord Shen came so far to see us off, it's really polite." ”

"This official doesn't have this idle effort!" Chen Qing glanced at him, but looked directly at Chen Ying, who was held by Murong Yunji.

Not only do I complain in my heart, but this probability ...... This girl is very unlucky......

There are countless things in the white fog, and millions of people may not be able to bump into a living person in it, although they were a little worried, and rushed over in person, but they didn't expect this girl to be really caught by the Shen family, this probability is much lower than winning the lottery, and you can't let this girl participate in the lottery in the future, at first glance, she is a non-chief!

Shen Yiyun and Murong Yunji looked at Chen Qing's boat quite solemnly, the number of corpses that made people's scalps tingle, as if they were alive!!

"It's too late for the husband to make the lady frightened." Chen Qing smiled at Chen Ying, who was a little in a daze.

Chen Ying looked at Chen Qing blankly, for a while, the picture in her mind just now overlapped with reality, which made her heart beat inexplicably, she didn't expect that the first thing she thought of at the time of the crisis was Chen Qing, and she didn't expect that Chen Qing was the first to arrive.

"Don't worry, lady." Chen Qing gently comforted: "There is a husband, no one can touch you!" ”

"Your Excellency's words are ..... majestic."

Shen Yiyun looked at Chen Qing faintly: "But isn't it too full, and the adults are sure that we can't hurt her?" ”

"I'm pretty sure!" Chen Qing looked at each other with a smile: "Do you want to try?" ”

Shen Yiyun also smiled when she heard this, Chen Ying, who was originally a little moved, instantly choked in her heart, but she had heard her master mention that in the twelve rooms of the Shen family, the most ruthless and bold one was the second child of the Shen family!

Sure enough, in the next second, I saw Shen Yiyun put away his smile, and his face became gloomy.

"Then try!"
