Chapter Twenty-Nine: It Turns Out to Be Related

"Go south by boat?" Wang Dong nodded, "This is no problem, the Li River sailor is strong, there are few water thieves, Gongzi should be safe when he goes south, but the nearest port from Shuoyin is also twenty miles, and a team of men and horses will be sent to escort Gongzi in order to be safe." ”

"Then thank you, General Wang. ”

Hai Fengquan no longer refused.

He was not afraid of those homeless people, but with the escort of this team of cavalry, he no longer needed to repeatedly take out a warrant to explain when he encountered the generals under General Guo's command along the way.

He rode back to the convoy and returned to the convoy with Haisheng to repay what had just happened.

All the way, with cavalry escort, the convoy was indeed much smoother.

"After the rebels broke through the city, they killed on a large scale, and I don't know how many people were displaced at dawn. ”

After pulling the curtain and looking at the miserable scene outside, Haisheng sighed.

When he came here before, Chi Zheng didn't see the homeless, because the homeless people were not stupid, and they knew that going to the north was a self-defeating road, and they all went south to the rich land.

After Shuoyin County, the official road on both sides of the family with a mouth, hungry faces abound, although men, women and children are different, but there is one thing in common, that is, numbness.

The cavalry escorting the front waved the outcasts out of the way, and some of the slower ones waved their horsewhips and whipped them without mercy.

Looking at the almost endless ranks of displaced people, Chi Zheng was also very shocked, he was born in the new era, how could he have seen so many hungry people?

"Hey, so many homeless ......"

Haisheng's face was embarrassed: "I don't know how the imperial court will arrange it." ”

How to arrange it will soon see.

The port where boats could be taken was on the banks of the Li River in a market town heavily guarded and blocked off the southbound passage.

A convoy of wealthy merchants like Haisheng, who also held Shangshu warrants, could naturally go unimpeded, but those displaced people were no longer allowed to go south.

Hai Fengquan inquired about the news and came back: "Dad, I heard that because there are too many displaced people going south, the imperial court has ordered to intercept the displaced people going south in many places, and Shuoyin is the first place." ”

"Got it, Quan'er, go and see, has our ship arrived at the port?"

"Yes, Dad, I'll go. ”

The number of displaced people gathered in front of the official road of the market town is afraid of tens of thousands, and all the heads of people sitting on the ground are black and oppressed, and the officers and soldiers are arranged along the official road of the market town and the deserted fields with studded horses with blades and thorns, and there are archers, who dare to break into the formation without permission, and immediately shoot mercilessly.

"Dad, our ship has been waiting at the port for days. ”

Hai Fengquan over there rode back, looking excited.

"Okay, okay, get over at once. ”

The cavalry here is estimated to have reported to the deputy general who is waiting for the market town, and Hai Fengquan is holding a Shangshu warrant, no one dares to stop him, but he also sends people to drive away the displaced people who are blocking the way.

In fact, in addition to the ships of officers and soldiers, there is only one pointed bottom boat for civilian vessels.

If it is an ordinary ship, where does it dare to dock here, I am afraid that it will not be immediately requisitioned by the officers and soldiers, just because the word "bell" is hung on this ship, it is a ship of Shangshu, and the officers and soldiers dare not interfere with it.

Chi Zheng and the others arrived at the port, and the deputy general of the market town came over to greet Haisheng, while he opened the curtain and looked at the pointed bottom boat.

This sharp-bottomed boat is as tall as a building, wide on the top and open its mouth high, I am afraid that it is no problem to carry seven or eight hundred people, and the Li River is wide and deep, otherwise such a ship would not dare to come.

As for the team of more than 100 people, it is naturally a breeze.

After being polite to each other, the lieutenant seemed to have received a promise and left contentedly, but before leaving, he also sent more than 100 soldiers to stay around to prevent the homeless people from disturbing the distinguished guests.

The surrounding homeless people looked at the convoy from afar, and some of their numb eyes gradually became envious, and some turned into greed, but no matter what, no one dared to move.

Dozens of servants moved swiftly, carrying the goods and luggage onto the cargo hold of the pointed bottom ship non-stop, and Hai Shenglai and the others, as the masters, naturally invited Chi Zheng to go directly to the cabin.

"This is the ship of the Sea Dwellers?"

Chi Zheng looked at the hanging flag.

"Haha, Dao Chief, I know your doubts, in fact, the contemptible clumsy Jing is the sister of Zhong Shangshu of the Criminal Department. ”

Speaking of this, Haisheng is quite proud.

Even Chi Zheng couldn't help but look at Hai Shengsheng in surprise, even if he was not an ancient, he knew how Shang Shu's sister could marry a merchant, no matter how rich this merchant was.

Unless you have severed ties with your family.

But it doesn't look like Haisheng is like this.

Hai Sheng lowered his voice and explained: "Dao Chief, Zhong Shangshu was framed by a traitor back then, unfortunately imprisoned, although he was not imprisoned with his family, but the mansion was also raided. ”

Chi Zheng couldn't help but look at Hai Shengsheng with admiration, thinking about it, he also knew that at that time, I am afraid that even Zhong Shangshu's friends would not dare to help, for fear of being implicated, and Hai Sheng, a civilian, actually came to help?

With such a great favor, it is no wonder that Zhong Shangshu is willing to marry his sister to Haisheng.

The servants over there were still tidying up, and the meal had already begun here, and since the road had not stopped, the lunch was late, but it still tasted quite good.

After lunch, Chi Zheng went to the cargo hold to look at the "grapes" and saw that it was eating beans quietly in the stall of the bilge, and it was also taking good care of it.

Even "Donald Duck", because of Chi Zheng's sake, was carefully taken care of by the servants, everywhere in the bilge, proudly found a nest to build, saw Chi Zheng coming, got out of the haystack, came to him, leaned back, wanted to pull a bubble of on Chi Zheng's right foot to express his happiness.

was kicked in the ass by Chi Zheng and flew out.

Flying in the air, the green flowers and white mixed with yellow filth, in a parabola fell into a straight line on the ground, pointing directly to a "Donald duck" planted in the grass.

"Donald Duck" shook his head, and when he came out, he wanted to take revenge on Chi Zheng, but unfortunately he could only see the back of Chi Zheng leaving.

When he came to the cabin, Chi Zheng didn't come to see his mule, but untied his luggage and the Qingfeng Sword and took it to his cabin.

He had an idea before, but there was no quiet place to verify it.

At this moment, boarding the ship and having a separate cabin, Chi Zheng put his luggage next to the bed, so that he had the space and time to verify.

"Sail...... Let's start the boat......"

A boatman shouted, and as the anchor lifted its sails, the massive pointed bottom ship began to head towards the lower reaches of the Li River.

Chi Zheng sat in front of the chair, first put aside the paper he was about to come, and then unfolded the three volumes of the book from the ground.

He had flipped through this book before, and he hadn't even looked at it carefully, just because this ancient book was different from modern books, the characters were from top to bottom, and there was no punctuation, and modern people were quite troublesome to read.

What's even more disgusting is that there are many spells in it, but all of them are ghost drawn talismans, and ordinary people can't understand them at all.
