Chapter 322: Shore Search
On deck, the ship was slowly approaching.
Wen Chaoyan, the four of them, and Feng Lao, all immediately changed into ordinary people who saw the officers and soldiers, fearful and cautious, honest and obedient, and looked like they were flattering and submissive.
"Everyone, military masters, I don't know what happened in the middle of the night? Why did you suddenly search, we ordinary people really don't dare to commit any crime. β
A group of officers and soldiers walked up to the boat along the pedal, and when they saw them, they first looked at them.
Seeing that although these people were all tall and had extraordinary appearances, they looked like ordinary people in the market, so they opened their mouths and scolded: "Search for examples, what nonsense!?" What are you doing!? Where are you going!? β
Looking at the size of this ship, it doesn't look like an ordinary person can have it.
The officers and men did not immediately let their guard down and began to search back and forth on the deck.
I didn't know what I was looking for, so I knocked over the basket and the barrel to the ground.
Gu Tingzhou pretended to be sweating profusely and hurriedly wiped his forehead.
"Master Jun, the place where the grass people are going on this trip is Jiangyuan. This is the boat pass, and here, the grass people's dart papers. β
Gu Tingzhou handed over all the paperwork.
The leading officer and soldier were in charge, and they took a closer look, and their eyes fell on Feng Lao's face.
When he noticed a long scar on Feng Lao's face, he also asked, "What's the matter with the old wound on your face?" β
Although Feng Lao is old, he is also an old naughty boy among them, and he is usually very uninhibited, and when he encounters these officers and soldiers, he doesn't want to pretend to be in awe at all, so he replied with a wooden face: "I fell in a fight when I was young." β
"Fighting? What kind of fight would leave such a terrible scar on the face? β
Feng Lao was already very impatient, "If you fight, you will fight, do you want the old man to recall the scene for you?" Hold knives and slash each other, slash each other in the face, I cut off each other's heads, and the other party gives me a scar, can't you? β
"Bold old man! What is the noise!? β
The officers and men drew their swords in an instant, looking like they were eyeing each other.
The corner of Feng Lao's mouth sneered, with his own strength, he could easily kill everyone on this deck with one move, which was also a matter of a snap of his fingers.
But Wen Chaoyan and the others didn't want to make a big fuss, so they immediately blocked in front of Feng Lao.
"Master Jun. This elder of my family, because he suffered the sin of disappearance when he was young, has a somewhat perverse temperament, and he hopes that the official will forgive him. β
"In the middle of the night, the military masters are working so hard, this is the money for the grass people to invite the military masters to drink tea, the military masters, please smile."
As he spoke, he looked terrified, and then stuffed an ingot of ten taels of silver into the hands of the leading officers and soldiers.
The leading officer and soldier shook the weight of the silver ingot in his hand, although he was a little disgusted, but in the end something is better than nothing, and then stuffed it into his arms.
"Your paperwork, that is, you are a dart game, and this trip is a dart?"
Gu Tingzhou stood up again and responded, "Yes, Master Jun." β
"Fujin County...... Are you from Fujun County? Then do you know that the county magistrate, all the treasures in the house have been stolen recently, but this matter has something to do with you? β
Several people looked at each other instantly, with panic on their faces.
"This, this, military masters, the grass people really don't know about this matter! The grass people went out twenty days ago. That county government was stolen? The grass people have never heard of this, have they? What's going on? β
The officers and men who were questioning continued to question, while the remaining dozen or so people, after searching the deck, went into the room again to search.
The sound of various furniture being knocked down came from the sound of various furniture being knocked down, and Gu Tingzhou and the others all looked heartbroken.
The leading officer and soldier sneered, and then pulled out the long knife in his hand and slammed it across Gu Tingzhou's neck: "Lie!" You asked me what's going on, and we want to ask you what's going on!? If you really left the county seat of Fujian twenty days ago, how could you have come here!? The fastest route to Jiangyuan is to take the land, not to take a detour to this Li River! β
"You say you're dart-walking, but from the time we got aboard, we didn't see a boatman or a helmsman! Say, what the hell are you doing!? β
Gu Tingzhou looked like he wanted to cry without tears, and hurriedly explained: "Master Jun, the grass people are really dart masters!" But when the grass people were young, they survived at sea, so the grass people would sail the boat! The younger brother next to the grass people, he is the helmsman, and the two of us can steer the boat, can't this, this......"
"And the military master, the grass people did leave Fujian County twenty days ago, if you want to die or not, you can send someone back to investigate."
Anyway, during the time of a dart game, no one entered or exited all day, and the door was closed.
Therefore, even if someone really probed the neighbors of the dart board, they couldn't ask anything at all.
"As for why it's going so slowly...... Master Jun, the grass people are actually going to escort the girls and young sons of a wealthy family to Jiangyuan, so they will pick up people, and then delay the little things that Rory will go so slowly. β
"The military master knows, these girls just have a lot of things. Seeing the strange, never seen in the market, have to look at it twice, and can not endure hardship, every day on the three poles before walking, the sun has not set before the rest of the day, it is really tiring. β
Also, they felt that the carriage and horses were tiring, so they paid for it, and were willing to rent this boat to walk on the waterway, saying that it was good to enjoy the scenery all the way, and if they waited for Jiangyuan to enter the house, they would not be able to go out all day...... This, this grass people, this will be the case. β
"Please also ask the military masters, please Mingjian."
At this moment, the soldiers who searched inside came out and said, "Report! Boss, there's someone down there! β
Gu Tingzhou immediately explained: "Master Jun, it's this dart, the girls and children that the grass people want to escort are all scared when they hear the sound, and the grass people let them hide below." β
I don't know if the leading officers and soldiers believed what Gu Tingzhou said, but after hearing the report from his subordinates, he immediately said: "Then let's take a look!" Walk! β
He rushed in majestically.
After everyone rushed in, Gu Tingzhou and the others quickly exchanged glances.
Wen Chaoyan silently made a movement to wipe his neck, and the rest of the others also bowed slightly.
Although there are still more than 100 people on the shore, if the incident at the east window occurs tonight, it will definitely be a fierce battle.
Therefore, they must lure the enemy deep and then strike first!
Then, Gu Tingzhou exclaimed again, and hurriedly chased after him: "Ladies and gentlemen, I implore you to be gracious, be careful, don't frighten those girls and little boys." Everything else, the grass people can discussβ"
Gu Tingzhou looks like an honest and fearful dart master.
And Jiang Wancheng and the others under the cabin, after hearing all kinds of loud noises on the floor, knew that those officers and soldiers would search here sooner or later.
She wanted to hide Sister Ya'er, but Lin Xueyan stopped her: "Hearing this movement, they rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and they couldn't wait to lift the floor." Where did you hide her? (End of chapter)
