Chapter 278: Where Are the Rules (4000)
"Ahh Li Zhen replied lightly, and with his eyesight, he naturally saw that there was something strange about the big ship that arrived tonight.
Generally speaking, it is rare for a merchant ship to arrive at the dock so late, unless there is a big storm on the way, otherwise with the old way of the helmsman, he will never miscalculate the time, after all, it is not easy to sail at night.
Either it's a small boat, or it will arrive at night.
Obviously, this boat is not any of the above situations at the moment, and has been deliberately inquiring about the news on both sides of the river, and there has never been a water disaster.
Moreover, in such a late day, it is not necessary to start unloading in a hurry after changing to another ship.
The light is dim at night, and it is difficult to say that no one will do something to lead the sheep, and now the troubled times are rising, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain, and no one's money is blown by the wind.
There are many people, dock helpers, unloading bags and their own employees, and when the things are lost, it is difficult to find, and most of them can only consider themselves unlucky.
Li Zhen has been here for many years, and he hasn't seen anything like this.
A businessman like who can take charge of such a big ship must be an old oilman, how can he make such a mistake with his careful calculations.
If only one of the points before and after occurs, it is normal, and anything must happen, neither is the roundworm in the other party's stomach, nor can everything be in accordance with common sense.
But when these situations collide together, I have to be a little more suspicious.
But just like that, Li Zhen won't do much, after all, he is just a helper in the actions ordered by the young lady, and the previous act of saving people was already his reckless act.
It is wrong to say more, and it is wrong to do more.
In the past, Li Zhen was a girl to the young lady, and he was still young and had contempt, but now he can't.
After Xia Xiang nodded and whispered two words, Li Zhen nodded.
He also said: "It shouldn't be wrong, it's better to act according to the plan, fortunately, the previous incident was not seen by people with a heart, they are so urgent, they shouldn't have the time to inquire about what happened before." ”
The matter in Li Zhen's words naturally refers to the battle between the Bai Xia guards and the white-clothed swordsman, and he said it at this time in order to be able to relieve Xia Xiang's heart.
"Yes. Xia Xiang bowed slightly, "Do what you want, I will stop all these people." ”
After all the arrangements were made, a fast horse had already left in the direction of the city wall behind him.
Since he was going to take action, as soon as possible, Xia Xiang sent someone into the city to inform the young lady, and after the first battle with Dou Qichu, he was a little uncertain in his heart.
It is not only a planned thing, but also to have more confidence, and I only hope in my heart that the crowd tactics will work.
As for whether the big ship really had what they needed, it would have to be tried to be confirmed.
In the dark of night, a fight is inevitable.
Calculating the time for the fast horse to leave, Xia Xiang had a big knife behind his back, and walked towards the dock where he was unloading together with Li Zhen.
The previous broadsword was shattered in the battle with Dou Qichu, and now it has been replaced with a new one, which is naturally not exactly the same, so it is not particularly easy to use, and it is barely used.
With his Xia Xiang identity as the gatekeeper of Little Lotus Mountain, he didn't need any peerless treasure knives.
In fact, the previous battle was lost so completely, Xia Xiang was unwilling in his heart, Dou Qichu was just relying on a white jade sword in his palm.
Putting his mind in front of him, Xia Xiang stood a few steps away and roared loudly towards the front: "Who is the merchant ship here, is there anyone in charge?" ”
Above the surging river, the voice of Xia Xiang spread far away, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Immediately, I saw a middle-aged man of medium stature on the deck, stretched out his right hand and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes, here." ”
As he spoke, he got off the boat in three or two steps, pushed away the workers who were resisting the goods, and walked to the dock.
He gestured and asked: "We are the five big families in the east, together with the business of the money village, come together, get water in the lower king, thank you for your love, it is the steward of this line, dare to ask Your Excellency?"
"The chief steward of the Daedeokshire docks...... Guards around you. Xia Xianggang wanted to say that he was also in charge, but he realized that something was wrong, after all, the manager on the surface was still Li Zhen.
I can't think of a proper one for the time being, so I can only continue to be his escort.
Hearing this, Wang Deshui was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself: "Why is there even a dock steward guard now, it's strange." ”
Although the voice of this was small, it was still heard by Xia Xiang, who snorted heavily and coldly: "What, is there any problem?"
"Ah, no problem, no problem. Wang Deshui smiled and squinted his eyes and said: "I don't know if the steward guard has any instructions, if there is no more, he will have to supervise the work." ”
Xu is rich and wealthy, and Wang Deshui did not put a guard in his eyes at all.
"What do I tell you to do?" choked a word, and without waiting for the other party to answer, Xia Xiang followed and said: "Come on, open all the boxes of your goods for me, and I want to open the box and review the goods." ”
When the words fell, Wang Deshui was startled, his eyes widened suddenly, and he took a step to the right to stop in front of Xia Xiang's sturdy body and said, "My lord, I can't help it." ”
"Why can't you do it?" Xia Xiang turned his head, his eyes were as bright as copper bells, and there was a bright light in the dark night.
Wang Deshui, who was staring at him, was frightened, but he still replied stubbornly: "It's all ordinary goods, my lord...... Your Excellency, you can't be so cautious. ”
"Since it's all ordinary goods, what's the point of opening it and taking a look?" Xia Xiang took another step forward.
He stepped forward, and Wang Deshui retreated, but he was still in front of Xia Xiang.
A pitiful look said: "It's not easy to do some business now, the cold winter is coming, it's all some leather business, there are torches everywhere, the subordinates are rough, there is an accident, what can you do if you order it again, I hope you will be considerate." ”
As he spoke, Wang Deshui put his hand into his sleeve, grabbed a handful of broken silver in the palm of his hand, and quietly handed it over.
Who knew that the other party didn't look at it, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked his left hand to the side, and said: "Who will be considerate of us, and it is not accommodating to inspect forbidden things, and you will not be able to do anything." ”
After that, seeing that Wang Deshui was still in front of him, he simply pushed it hard, and pushed it to the side, Xia Xiang pointed at him and said, "If you don't open the box, I'll do it myself." ”
Just standing firmly, Wang Deshui shook his sleeves twice, stretched out his hands to look at Xia Xiang's back, gritted his teeth and said:
"You stop me, my king has been in business for many years, and I don't know how many times this Renhe River has been waded, and it is not less chic in this section of the Rouge River. ”
It seemed that the more he talked, he took two steps forward, pointed at Xia Xiang's back and scolded loudly: "No matter where I have never encountered such a rule, my Dawei has never had such a rule, I see that you are just messing around, and if you want to take the opportunity to get benefits, I will sue you!"
After saying a word, it seemed that the whole dock was quiet for a while, Wang Deshui saw that his words had such an effect, and he couldn't help but become more and more proud, his head tilted back slightly, hugged his arms, and waited for the other party to admit his mistake.
Not only him, but everyone who had been watching the movement below on the big ship thought that the big man was moved, and when he said it, he really wanted to take the opportunity to reap greater benefits, and his heart was empty at this time.
Just as he was about to get up and make a move, he slowly sat back down.
Who knew that the next moment of sudden change, Xia Xiang suddenly pulled out the long knife behind his back, and with a clang, he picked off the lid of the wooden box on the left hand side.
Everyone, including Li Zhen, didn't expect such a play.
The wooden lid was still spinning in mid-air, and I saw that Xia Xiang had turned around, his eyes looking directly at Wang Deshuidao:
"So that you know that this place is now Dade County, an independent Dade County, not your Dawei, the rules of Dawei, not the rules of my Dade, the rules of my Dade, and the rules of my Dade are what you have to abide by after you come. ”
The moment he picked up the lid, Wang Deshui was ready to break out of his mouth with ten or eight sentences in his heart.
As a result, after listening to the guard, Wang Deshui broke out in cold sweat on his back, and goosebumps broke down all over his body.
At this moment, he realized, where he came, where he stepped on, and now he is a group of vicious thieves.
That's killing people without blinking, he has a few lives just now and dared to say such words, it's like his head was squeezed by the door.
opened his mouth, not even daring to say half a word.
"I'll let you open the box, do you understand?" Xia Xiang said again with a cold look in his eyes.
"Listen...... Got it. Wang Deshui sweated. He said hesitantly, but he didn't see action.
At that moment, Xia Xiang didn't pay attention to it, and said with a wave of his right hand: "Come on, open the box for me." ”
As the words fell, one by one people stepped forward and opened the boxes one by one.
Even the people in charge of their own affairs couldn't speak, and those subordinates could only watch from the sidelines.
Next door to the big ship, there was another slightly smaller boat, which was parked here on the day the Lei brothers and sisters came.
At this moment, in the cabin, a group of dozens of people had already been assembled, all of them holding bright scimitars, waiting for an order.
Lei Xiaoxiao snuggled on the wooden board in the door, looked at the firelight below, frowned, and Lei Qingfeng stood half a step behind her.
"Sister, is our goods really down there?" Lei Qingfeng asked curiously, with a vague fear in his voice.
Since that time in the No. 1 Inn in the Qingchuan world, he was knocked down by several bandits and bandits three times and two times, Lei Qingfeng is a little stunned when he encounters such a scene now, even if he is very reluctant to admit it.
"Yes. Lei Xiaoxiao just replied lightly.
From time to time, the scenes in the City God Temple that day will come to mind, and every time I think of this, I can't wait to fight with the demon girl again.
This time she came with the ship, of course, it was impossible to take her brother and sister as the leader.
The last time I lost the goods in Qingchuan, the family let the two of them accompany him, just to let the two of them make the merit of the crime.
But I don't know where the news leaked, and now it seems that the world is in the rivers and lakes, and all the forces that still have two brushes have focused their eyes on this batch of goods.
Or rather, on that page of cheats.
Of course, not everyone is so well-informed that they know the general direction of this shipment.
As a member of the royal family, the Lei family has been inconspicuous for so many years, and in terms of strength, it cannot be underestimated, so it chased all the way to the dock.
In the final analysis, Lei Xiaoxiao felt that it was her own problem that caused the loss of this batch of goods, and even the death of so many people, so she always had a knot in her heart.
"Take this shipment back today...... It's over. Lei Xiao muttered in a low voice, and slowly pulled out the sword at his waist.
With the unveiling of the wooden boxes one by one, the sweat on Wang Deshui's forehead not only did not decrease, but also increased a little more.
As if he could feel the gaze from behind, Wang Deshui reluctantly took a few steps forward, and arched his hand towards Xia Xiang: "Hehe, my lord, look, they are indeed ordinary goods." ”
Under the light of the torches, the leather goods contained in the box glowed with a faint sheen.
Hearing this, Xia Xiang didn't answer, but just watched everyone continue to rummage back, and after a while, all the boxes on the dock were opened, but he never saw the dart that left the capital at the beginning.
Could it be that Xia Xiang looked at it carefully, and there was nothing abnormal, and at this time, Li Zhen stepped forward and whispered to him.
"Is there any cargo on the ship?" Xia Xiang asked as he looked at Wang Deshui.
As he spoke, he didn't wait for his answer, and he had already led people to the ship himself.
"My lord, there are still some goods on the ship, and they will not be sold until the next city, my lord!" Wang Deshui stood below, shouted loudly, and followed as he spoke.
Xia Xiang turned a deaf ear, and dozens of people had already stood on the board of the ship one after another.
Under the white moonlight, everyone continued to unpack and inspect the goods on the ship's board.
When I opened the third box, the contents of the box changed dramatically, and it was no longer leather goods but jewelry, and a box full of jewelry.
"Hehe, this is a unique water drop in the east, and it can be sold at a good price when it is transported to the southwest. ”
Wang Deshui rubbed his hands, but his footsteps moved a few steps back slightly.
Grab a bunch at random and put it in your hand, Xia Xiang's eyes lit up, it's this!
With a snap and threw it back, Xia Xiangyan said: "The jewels in this palace are all imprinted, I'm afraid you don't know, right?" This is exactly the batch of goods escorted by the Wan'an Dart Bureau at the beginning.
As soon as he was halfway through his words, there was a crackling sound, and dozens of adult men flew out from behind the door, straight to the middle door of Xia Xiang.
It's fast, and it's clear that you've been prepared!
The long knife was held tightly in his right hand, and he was very guarded, Xia Xiang looked at the person in front of him, and slashed out with a knife!
In an instant, dozens of people were on the ship's board.
"Do it!" Li Zhen stood below and raised the torch in his hand and roared.
On the same night, different people, there was a woman on the other side of the Renhe River leading a horse to stand, looking at the fire in front of her from a distance, and she heard the sound of killing in her ears, and she was distracted for a while.
......
waved his hand a few times in a row, but Liu Yuan didn't react, where could Xu Ming not know what the other party was.
That is, the kung fu of a cup of tea, Liu Yuan quickly came back to his senses, glanced at Xu Ming and said, "Old Xu, I will go back to the house first, and you will rest early." ”
was so anxious that it was like a fire burning his buttocks, and Liu Yuan, who slipped away from the smoke, disappeared.
Xu Ming shook his head, seeing that it was not early, after thinking about it, he planned to close the door of the inn.
Kan Kan picked up the door panel in the corner, Xu Ming's ears moved, and he turned to look at the door.
"Before a guest returns, is the shopkeeper going to close?"
