Chapter 715: Throwing Stones to Ask for Directions
When the sound of this "whoosh" came, I saw that the window paper was torn open, and a black thing went straight to Zhu Shuwen, and she screamed in fright.
The pine and cypress flipped over and stretched out his right hand to catch the flying thing, which turned out to be just a black ball of dirt, and then it was broken in the middle, and a white paper appeared inside.
"What's going on? Is someone stabbing you?" Xue Fei, the guard outside the door, pulled out the steel knife on his waist and pushed the door straight open and came in.
"It seems that this Bashan Shushui is not very peaceful? This time, someone has complained, inviting me to meet on this pier at the third watch tonight, saying that there is something to tell each other, it seems that it is that night again, what do you think?" Songbai handed the note to Chen Yuejing, turned around and sat down and said.
"Princess, are you okay? I heard that there was an assassin just now, and the slave and maid hurried over, and you are not injured, are you?"
"It's okay, it's okay! I was a little panicked just now, it's okay now, it's not too early at this hour, help me go back!" Zhu Shuwen stood up and said to Xue Fei and the others.
"It's okay, it's okay! This princess is guarded by Xue Fei, so naturally there is no problem, and there is Miss Lao Ruyi. Songbai stood up, bent down and hugged his fists to send Zhu Shuwen out.
On the way back, Zhu Shuwen watched Ruyi staring at Xue Fei from time to time, and suddenly understood a little in her heart, so she planned to accomplish this good thing.
"The two of you have been serving this princess for some time, now that this war has stopped, I think you are also talented and beautiful, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and visit the church in two days to get married!" Zhu Shuwen touched Ruyi's head, turned her head and said to Xue Fei's guard.
When the Ruyi girl heard this, she immediately blushed and lowered her head, Xue Fei bent down and clenched her fists, but she didn't know what to say, so she just postponed it casually.
"If the two of you are married, it will be convenient for you to take care of and protect me, this princess will be in charge of this matter, come and hand it over to me, and you will be a family in the future." Zhu Shuwen held the hands of the two and put them together, and happily went back to the house.
In the middle of the night, Songbai took a few guards to the top of the hill of this wharf, the river was quiet, all the docked ships had already extinguished the candles, only the sound of the waves, from time to time to the shore lapping.
"Lord Wang! When someone said the third watch, it should be almost the same now? Why is it so dark, it can't be fooling us, right?" The guard next to him came over and pointed to the pier.
"Let's wait and see! It is estimated that this merchant ship has not yet arrived, so he will not show up yet, I can't imagine that this local government connived, and the collusion between officials and businessmen is really hateful. Songbai had already guessed a few points at this moment, so he smashed his fist on the stone and said.
Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared on the sea, and I saw this merchant ship rowing over quickly, and Songbai signaled his guards to bow their heads and squatted down.
I saw that after the merchant ship docked, the gangplank was put on the side of the ship, and many men in black came out of the fishing boat next to it, waved their hands and rushed up, shouting all the way to carry the sack on their shoulders, and headed towards the warehouse of this wharf.
Next to the wharf, a group of men with torches in their left hands and steel knives in their right hands slowly came to the wharf with a crowd.
"Give me a little bit of profit, this batch of goods is waiting for the west? I will load it tomorrow and send it in, if this matter is done, each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver." This Li Yuanwai shouted with a big belly and waved his stubby fingers.
"Let's go!" Seeing all this, Songbai already understood a little, so he waved his hand and led everyone, turned and left.
Early the next morning, Songbai got up early and left the room, too late to drink a bowl of hot porridge, and hurried to the Southwest General Military Mansion.
In front of the gate of the general soldier's mansion, two stone lions were majestic, and the soldiers on duty last night yawned and came out, opened the two gates, and sixteen people stood in two columns, complaining that no one had come to hand over the guard.
"But we're tired, where have these guys gone? If you don't come to take over, you won't come, and the chief soldier doesn't care?"
I heard that I went to the dock last night, and it seems that I am going to send something into Tibet again, so everyone should be patient! I heard that this newly sealed prince is coming, and everyone will be clever later, don't make trouble for the chief soldier, and everyone will not be able to explain it when the time comes. The old soldier came and commanded with the steel sword at his waist.
"What are you talking about? Remember the words of the adults, the silver two are naturally indispensable to you, if you chew the root of your tongue behind your back, be careful that I turn my face and don't recognize people. There was a roar of anger in the door, and everyone bowed their heads in fright.
I saw that the person who came out of this line was the short and fat Zeng Canghai, the prefect of Bashan was him, and the general soldier of the southwest was also him, so what was the matter? Because money can make ghosts grind.
Zeng Canghai held his big belly, and walked out of the threshold with a blue face, because the threshold was heightened, he was stuck on it and couldn't get in and out, so he held on to the door frame and shouted.
The master behind hurriedly came over, and everyone supported Zeng Canghai, and finally crossed the threshold and came out, only to see his face full of anger, and he was about to explode for a while.
"It's simply unreasonable to lower this threshold for me, and all the thresholds that I can't pass will be removed for me. This Zeng Canghai kicked the threshold, and suddenly his feet twitched in pain, and he howled like a pig with his right foot.
The soldiers covered their mouths and quickly turned around, if Zeng Canghai saw it, he was afraid that he would inevitably scold again.
"Papapa" A slap sounded and the soldiers at the door were rewarded with one, but this tall man couldn't reach it for a long time, and he suddenly became angry.
"You, squat down for me, bully me for being short, right! Let you laugh at Lord Ben, damn fellow, for you to eat, drink, and Lazar, and in the end you dare to laugh at me, see how I fix you?" Zeng Canghai waved his hand to signal the big man to squat down, and came over with a fist, his heart was finally comfortable, so he touched his handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, smiled and prepared to turn back.
"Are you deaf or what? Hurry up and tear it down for me? Are you deliberately watching the jokes of adults, or are you deliberately playing tricks on your own officials? Zeng Canghai pointed to this threshold, and everyone hurried over, waving a steel knife and slashing towards this threshold, and suddenly sawdust flew up.
Finally this high threshold was lowered, Zeng Canghai snorted angrily, and walked into the door proudly with his hands behind his back.
"What kind of person? This is the Southwest General Military Mansion, how can you enter as you want to go, hurry up and retreat for me. "There was a man from this layman, wearing a hat to cover his face, and was stopped by the soldiers, Zeng Canghai turned his head when he heard the sound, and his face suddenly changed greatly......
