Thirty-five: Finally arrived, the ferry port of Jianye City!
CHAPTER XXXV
"It's not... My lord... The villain just came out to testify against these people... How can you also be dealt with along with the villain?" the little guy asked with a blank face when he heard Peng Bu's words.
"Do you know what a nest of snakes and rats is?" said Pombu, turning back.
Wang Haoyue never thought that he had always treated his subordinates preferentially, never deducted, and never lacked catties or two, this time he not only lost the face of the Wang family, but also slapped himself in the face.
"Throw these people down the river together. Wang Haoyue said casually.
Peng Bu stepped forward and whispered in Wang Haoyue's ear: "Don't kill, don't convince the public." β
"The general spares his life!"
"The general villain knows that he is wrong!"
The bookkeeper and the shipman, you wept and screamed as soon as you said a word.
"This river is also quite deep, whether they can live depends on their lives! Wang Haoyue said calmly.
The soldiers on the left and right lifted up the two people who were snatching the sky and the earth, and threw them into the tumbling river.
Seeing this situation, the group of boatmen were all silent, and they were still babbling and screaming in pain, but at this time, there was no sound, and they waited quietly for Wang Haoyue's next words.
Wang Haoyue, who was full of sorrow, stretched out her hand and patted her face, and said to this group of passers: "You don't have to worry about it, this matter is mishandled by me Wang Haoyue, the wages on this ship will be counted as three times, and the work in Jianye will also be tripled, if you are willing...... If you don't want to, we'll recruit people then. β
"Yes! Of course we will take it!"
"Yes, we have all followed General Wang all the way, how can we leave at this moment?"
"General Wang, just let me wait to take over this job!"
The boatmen below all became vigorous, with a posture of intransigence, and they were like two people who were sick before.
"General Wang, there is a registration in the account book of Mr. Fang, it is better to count people according to the list in this account book, then there is no need to register a second time, as for the salary, it will be distributed by 20% more, what do you think?" Peng Bu took Mr. Fangcai's account book and said to Wang Haoyue.
"Just do as Envoy Peng said. After Wang Haoyue finished speaking, she got up and left.
Pembo stayed on deck, distributing the wages to the shipwrights.
At this time, Wen Renxing also woke up, and after the doctor casually explained a few words to Deng Zai, he got up and carried the box to treat another person.
"Senior brother, you have woken up, the gangster who killed you has been punished... We've also been paid more..."Deng Zai shook two bags of money in front of Wen Renxing.
Wen Renxing reached out and took the bag of money that belonged to him, and then said to Deng Zai: "Senior brother, you go and take a bath, you will get off the boat after eating in a while." β
Deng Zai could still smell a smell when he was close, Wen Renxing hurriedly pushed Deng Zai to take a bath, he didn't expect to lie down, and when he woke up, he actually took so much money for nothing, and this job was still comfortable.
"Brother Fan, this ferry is coming!" Liu Cong heard the sound of many people walking outside, presumably this should be sorting things out.
"I just heard the sound of many people walking, I thought that this group of people was packing up, this ship must be about to dock!" Fan Shijin also heard the sound of a large number of people busy.
Only Bai Xiyue still had a bitter gourd face, holding his head and looking at the tea in front of him sullenly.
"Everyone, are you ready, the next thing to deal with is a gamble that will affect our lives!" Xiong Jingchong no longer seemed to be afraid of the future, no longer dodging the contents of the prophecy paper.
"I didn't... I'd rather stay on this ship if I'm not ready!" Bai Xiyue has fled in a hurry whenever he encounters a crisis over the years, and if he is not crushed by his strength, he will run away in other situations.
"Bai Xiyue, you are from Kongyangmen! When you rescued Brother Wenren, weren't you also the first to take the lead?" Liu Cong walked over and pressed his shoulder and said.
"That's... That's because I saw you holding the Empty Yang Gate Sword... I thought you were a good star who had taught you a trick with the big palm... I wanted to rely on your martial arts to make a name for myself...... Alas!" Bai Xiyue pushed Liu Cong's hand away and explained.
Fan Shijin took the book in his hand and carefully put it in his sleeve.
"Brother Bai, if you insist on staying on this ship, I can discuss with Peng Bu to see if it will not be difficult for people to be forced down! After Fan Shijin collected the book, he said to the two of them.
"Brother Fan, don't laugh, if you go back like this, my father will definitely look down on me, and the old man from Kongyangmen will never look at me differently!" Liu Cong did not have the slightest hesitation or hesitation in his eyes.
Fan Shijin laughed a few times, grabbed Liu Cong's shoulders and said: "Brother Cong, I, Fan, did not admit that I was wrong about you, if this visit is successful, I will definitely recommend the King of Shu to let you go to the army for training, with your qualifications, I believe that you will be able to become a general by twenty!"
"Hahahaha! Brother Fan is too humble! How can I, Liu Cong, have such a ability...?" Liu Cong tried to hide the happy look on his face, no matter how he tried to hide the laughter, he kept hearing it.
"What... Brother, isn't it too humble... It should have been a prize..."Bai Xiyue corrected on the side.
"Brother Bai, you're coming ashore soon, do you have an idea?" Xiong Jingchong asked.
"Even my younger brother is the first to bear the brunt, and I, Bai Xiyue, will not let it go!" Bai Xiyue heard Liu Cong's words mention the Great Palm Sect before, and only then did he understand that this process was probably in his old man's grasp.
"All of you, come around, I'll tell you about the contents of the prophecy paperβ" Xiong greeted everyone respectfully.
Fan Shijin, Xiong Jingchong, Bai Xiyue, and Liu Cong corrected the content of the prophecy paper again, and memorized the content by heart, so that they could respond to all changes with no change.
"General Wang, it's coming to shore, it's time to get to the ferry!" said a small servant.
Wang Haoyue glanced at Peng Bu beside him, and said, "Envoy Peng, it's still too late to kill those people." β
"General Wang really underestimated me Peng! Since he has reached an agreement with someone, he naturally can't break the contract casually, this is not a gentleman's doing. Peng Bu replied with a look of displeasure.
Wang Haoyue didn't say anything more with great interest, and then the soldiers on the left and right brought Liu Cong and others over.
"Envoy Peng, but you regretted it?" Xiong looked at Peng Bu with a straight look.
"Joke, in the next word, Hugh has to mention this kind of thing again and again!" Peng Bu snorted disdainfully, and then said: "Today is at the ferry, get your weapons back, by the way, don't forget our agreement, don't slip away." β
"Envoy Peng, our previous agreement didn't say that we would release them, aren't you letting the tiger return to the mountain?" Wang Haoyue said with her head in one hand and banging on the table with the other.
"It's okay, it's on the next person. Peng Bu said succinctly.
Bai Xiyue was not polite to these people, stepped forward and took back his two swords, and threw Liu Cong's long sword to him by the way.
Liu Cong took the sword and said to Bai Xiyue: "Have you seen my wooden box?"
"No, there's still Brother Xiong's brush inkstone! But I don't see anything else... Bai Xiyue didn't see Liu Cong's wooden box after searching for a long time, and after searching for no result, he looked up at Wang Haoyue and Peng Bu.
"What do you look at?!General Ben is rare for your?" Wang Haoyue raised her eyes to look at Bai Xiyue, the slender eyelashes between her eyebrows and eyes were like mimosas spreading, extremely good-looking.
Peng Bu also stretched out his palms and said, "I have no interest in your objects, and gentlemen do not take advantage of others." β
Liu Cong walked over to look for it with a difficult face, but there was indeed no trace of the wooden box, so he gave up, put the sword on his waist and returned to Fan Xiong's side.
"It's okay, brother, this person has a lot of things, you can't find it when you want to look for it! If you don't want to look for it, maybe it will appear!" Fan Shijin touched Liu Cong's head and said with a smile.
"General Wang, stop the boat to the ferry!" said another sergeant.
Wang Haoyue glanced at Peng Bu, it seemed that he really didn't plan to kill this group of people, and in order to prove his promise, he even changed his previous plan and wanted to release these people.
"Everyone, after a few days of hard work, let's find an inn to rest today, and meet tomorrow on the Nantang Hall, okay?" Peng Bu said with his hands in his hands, and then bowed his waist.
Liu Cong and the others also thanked him, then turned around and walked off the boat, just this short distance, Liu Cong was still nervous from beginning to end to observe the surroundings.
Before leaving, Xiong Jingchong said to Peng Bu: "Peng Envoy is really a gentleman! I owe you a favor today! I will definitely pay it back in the future." β
After hearing this, Peng Bu smiled and waved his hand, signaling a few people to go, while not forgetting to shout at the backs of several people: "Don't forget, our agreement!"
When Wen Renxing saw Liu Cong and the others halfway, Liu Cong saw Wen Renxing, Wen Renxing smiled at Liu Cong, and used his index finger and middle finger to make a movement of one person, and the other hand also did this action, and the two fingers made movements together, indicating that Liu Cong would meet again soon.
"Senior brother, aren't you going to leave with this group of people?" Deng Zai asked as he looked at the few people who were far away.
"I've thought about it, we will have a chance to enter the palace when we carry the goods, and then I will be in the dark, and they will be in the light, so it is better to wait for the opportunity to move. Wen Renxing's eyes showed a bit of reluctance.
Deng Zai looked back at the group of people from Wen Renxing's gaze, they were indeed a group of very authentic people, and they seemed to exude an unusual aura from others.
"Looks like you've got to know a good friend! Deng Zai smiled and patted Wen Renxing's back.
"Senior brother, I want to get to know you now, and you were still pretending to be a saint there before?" Wen Renxing looked at Deng Zai with disdain, as if he still had the smell of swill on his body.
"What are you looking at, you don't go to work yet! Those who invite you to come here to work are not here to see the scenery!" a soldier came over to see the two of them chatting here.
"Yes, yes, sir! We just took a nap! We're going back to work. Deng Zai put one hand on Wen Renxing's shoulder, and then pushed and pulled Wen Renxing away.
After Liu Cong saw that the surroundings were far enough away from the boat, he said to Fan Shijin: "Brother Fan, I just saw Brother Wenren!"
"There is still a batch of goods in this gang that will move to this Southern Tang Da Nei, I guess Wen Renxing wants to mix in it, as one of our dark lines. Fan Shijin felt like a chessboard in his heart, and he had already expected Wenrenxing's plan.
"I said brother, the wooden box you took out of the Treasure Pavilion was just lost, don't you feel distressed?" Bai Xiyue never left the two swords on his waist all the way.
"There's no way, although I don't know how useful it is, just like Brother Fan said, I also think that one day I will encounter it..." Liu Cong guessed that this wooden box had been hiss since the moment he took it out, maybe it had escaped somewhere else, but it had just disappeared temporarily.
