Chapter 204 turned out to be a group of pirates
Night.
People are quiet.
The passenger ship unloaded its sails and drifted with the waves, and the sound of "lala......lala" drainage was crisp and pleasant.
Half a lantern swayed in the wind.
In order to contain the cold snap, the cabin pulled down the sheepskin tent. The ferryman was wrapped in bedding tightly, and he was willing to hold it even if he had urine, and it was too cold in the cold night of late autumn.
Three more.
Song Che was the first to come to the bow of the boat, and it took a while for Liao Heng to arrive, and after a while, Jiang Yun also slipped out of the cabin.
"No one was awakened, was they?" Song Che asked in a low voice.
Jiang Yun said: "Everyone sleeps like dead pigs." ”
"Tactical camouflage."
"Okay."
At the same time, the three of them unbuckled their belts, took out the "golden hoop stick", and urinated into the river while discussing the plan.
"Look, men with daughters-in-law are different, even peeing wet shoes." Liao Heng squinted at Song Che and smiled sheepishly.
"It's winding!"
Song Che glared, and stopped selling Guanzi:
"I've observed, the entrance to the warehouse is at the stern, and the batch of goods in Chuzhou Rao is specially guarded by Japanese criminals, and the problem to be solved now is, how to go in and inspect the goods unnoticed?"
Liao Heng proposed: "First knock the guards unconscious, if it is verified that they are really widows in disguise, they will kill them all." ”
Song Che shook his head and said, "No." There are hundreds of people on this boat, and they are still in the middle of the river, and the number of opponents is unknown, if they fight, it will inevitably hurt innocents;
Moreover, if they are really widows and infiltrate Yangzhou disguised as a caravan, there must be a greater conspiracy, and we can stand still, pretend that nothing happened, and then put a long line to catch a big fish,"
Then, he asked Jiang Yun again:
"Brother Jiang, do you have a trick that can make him unconscious, and when he wakes up, he will act as if nothing happened?"
Jiang Yun gently spit out four words: "I will point points."
"This can be Sakura"
"Let's get it."
The three of them shook together.
Lifting his pants, he tiptoed to the back of the boat.
Liao Heng was responsible for releasing the wind at the mouth of the warehouse, while Song Che and Jiang Yun entered the warehouse to inspect the goods.
The ferrymen were very light, and there were few caravans on board, so the cargo compartment was relatively empty, and as soon as you entered, you could see the short man half-lying on his own cargo box.
In the dead of night, he was sleeping.
Song Che squatted behind the door, gestured to Jiang Yun, and gestured.
Jiang Yun lowered his steps, as light as a feather, and came to the guard in three or two steps, reaching out and pinching the back of his neck. The whole person of the guard softened.
Song Che walked up softly and slowly.
"Hurry up, he'll only break for a quarter of an hour at most." Jiang Yun urged in a low voice.
The two of them carried down the cargo box, and as soon as they opened the lid, a fishy smell came to their nostrils, which contained dried kelp, air-dried sea fish, and miscellaneous seafood and dried goods.
The two of them opened a box, rummaged through it several times, but did not find anything suspicious in it, and carried another box and picked it up, all dried seafood.
"Maybe they're really just businessmen?" Jiang Yundao.
Song Che vetoed: "Impossible." Chuzhou is in trouble, how can it produce so many fish goods, not to mention that Yangzhou itself is very close to the coast, so it needs to be purchased from Chuzhou in the north? ”
The only explanation now is that the gang is only using the title of the merchant to conceal their identity, and they are not smuggling anything.
"Huh......" Suddenly, the guard snored.
Song Che and Jiang Yun were both taken aback.
Jiang Yun pulled out his sword, "He's about to wake up, he wants me, don't do it, I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go." I directly picked them all, and I sold them all. ”
"No, no, now their identities are unknown, if they are really businessmen, if you want to kill them, you will become a thief."
"What are you afraid of, if you kill it, you will throw it into the river to feed the fish, and after three or five, it will become a dry bone, who knows that I killed it?"
"Big brother, there are hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at the ship."
I have to, the people in the rivers and lakes are really ruthless.
"Okay, let's quickly restore the goods, the coming day is long, and there is no hurry."
Song Che was about to put back the dry goods that had been pounded out and accidentally fallen to the ground back into the box, but when he picked up a roll of kelp, he unexpectedly found that it was unusually hard.
Kelp is not a sponge, and no matter how hard it is, it will never reach this level.
The kelp is rolled one after another, like cloth.
Song Che uncovered the kelp, and as the center got closer and closer, a three-foot-long "Japanese knife" was revealed.
There were seven or eight boxes in front of him, and each box contained seven or eight horses of kelp, and if there were swords hidden in each of them, it would be more than thirty handles. One person and one handle are more than 30 Japanese robbers.
What are they going to do?
Why go to Yangzhou?
Yangzhou is the capital of Huainan Road, an economic, cultural and military center...... The conspiracy must not!
"Huhu......" The guard snored again, and his eyelids began to flutter.
"Put these things back in."
The two quickly cleaned up the mess, put the container as it was, turned off the lights and exited the warehouse.
The three of them returned to the bow of the ship, still in the same tactical disguise, but they could not pee a drop again.
"That is, are there thirty or forty widows hidden on this ship?" Liao Heng frowned.
The Japanese who dare to sneak into the inland must have good martial arts, and no matter how high Jiang Yun's martial arts are, it is difficult to do one against thirty. Not to mention that there were so many civilians on board.
Direct killing, not advisable.
And most importantly, this group of pirates actually has the help of traitors, and there must be big fish behind them.
The sorrow of the nation is not an invasion by a foreign enemy, but a betrayal of the country
Song Che was in the wind, and suddenly thought about it:
"In this way, let's hold our troops first, and when we arrive in Yangzhou tomorrow, if they want to enter the city, the city gate will check the goods, and then we will come out to report them, and use the power of the city guards to wipe them out."
Liao Heng clapped his hands and praised: "It's just wonderful." ”
The trio then returned to the cabin and slept as if nothing had happened.
Next.
Afternoon.
The passenger ship finally arrived in Yangzhou.
After Song Che and the others got off the boat, they found a noodle stall and waited while eating.
After the noodles were almost eaten, the Chuzhou man had already finished unloading and led the caravan to Yangzhou City.
To Song Che's surprise, the caravan was not as many as he had originally estimated, and there were only eight traitors including the leader.
There were at least thirty or forty swords hidden in this shipment, but at the moment there were only eight Japanese escorts, so there was only one possibility—this caravan was transporting weapons to its accomplices.
It is likely that a group of Japanese robbers have already arrived in Yangzhou City, or there is still a group of Japanese robbers on the way.
But no matter what, these people must be plotting big things, and there is a big traitor in Yangzhou City who is secretly helping them.
"Boss, please help give the money below, we are all neat, we can't find it."
Song Che broke away from Yun Niang, and took the opportunity to tell Liao Heng and Jiang Yun that their plans had changed, and they would not do anything to the widows for the time being, and continue to cast a long line to catch big fish.
After settling the account, Song Che rented a carriage from the post house next to him, quietly followed the caravan, and entered Yangzhou.
