Chapter 575: Not a drop of water

Chen Shouxin stood in the lobby of his house, and his anger was like thunder. Just now he took Ying'er to tell him a sad news, his second uncle Wu Gonggong was killed, that person claimed to have been kidnapped by water bandits and escaped, Wu Gonggong saved his life but caused a catastrophe and took his life.

Chen Shouxin is almost certain that the murderer is Liu Dapeng.

Ou Lingtian, the king of Huashan, had already passed the news of Liu Dapeng's escape to him. Liu Dapeng is a master of the East Factory and a confidant of the great eunuch Liu Jing. Ou Lingtian analyzed that Liu Dapeng would definitely come to Shiyanpo Wharf, so Chen Shouxin had already laid a net at Shiyanpo Wharf, but the news brought by Ying'er made his heart like a knife, Wu Gonggong was not only his second uncle, he had saved his life several times. Chen Shouxin wanted to take him to the house for the elderly many times, but Wu Gonggong just refused, he said that he couldn't leave the Yangtze River, and Chen Shouxin almost gritted his teeth if he died today.

Chen Shouxin called his most trusted subordinate "Yin Hand Dart" Chen Lufeng, a person who looks like five big and three rough on the surface but is smart and wise, wise and foolish, the ruffians at Shiyanpo Wharf did not disagree with him, if Chen Shouxin is the uncle, he is the second master, and he is completely worthy of this title. Chen Lufeng was also angry after hearing this, and said: "Master Chen, don't worry, such a beast is not as good as a person, as long as he escapes here, even if he digs three feet into the ground, I will find him out." โ€

Chen Lufeng is just do what he says, cast a net of heaven and earth, almost everyone at Shiyanpo Wharf knows the name Liu Dapeng and his murderous and obscene methods, he killed his life-saving benefactor in those years, and the revenge of the grace will be the most hateful, that is, the white-eyed wolf, where is the reason. Even the ruffians scoffed, and in today's words, Liu Dapeng has fallen into the vast sea of the people's war, and it is impossible to escape.

Liu Dapeng didn't know it yet, hiding on the small sampan and enjoying the breakfast that Ah Hong made for him. also teased her from time to time, and wanted to go out when she was full of food and drink, Ah Hong stopped him and said, "I'll go ashore first to inquire about the movement, and you can go out when it's really okay, just in case." โ€

Liu Dapeng is right to think about it, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. He asked Ah Hong to inquire about whether anyone had been selling illicit salt at the dock recently, and if there was any official salt that they had lost, he would find out the culprit. But Liu Dapeng didn't expect that he was about to become a turtle in the urn. Ah Hong, who hurriedly went out, soon knew about Liu Dapeng's despicable behavior. She also knows Wu Laogong. What a good person, who fought for righteousness and squandered money, had no quarrel with the world, but died in the hands of Liu Dapeng. Ah Hong was dumbfounded, and sat on the shore with her ass, her body trembling.

What should I do? Ah Hong thought wildly and continued to protect Liu Dapeng, but the final result was that he would die worse than him, and Chen Shouxin would kill the enemy completely. Definitely not soft. "Yin Hand Dart" Chen Lufeng is even more demonic, and it is better to die than to die if a woman falls into their hands. While Liu Dapeng doesn't know it now, it's still too late to hand him over. After thinking for a long time, Ah Hong stood up weakly and walked towards Chen Shouxin's compound.

Liu Dapeng was sleeping in the small sampan. "Yin Hand Dart" Chen Lufeng led dozens of family members to surround him, and captured him alive without much effort. When Liu Dapeng, who was ignorant, looked at Chen Lufeng's cold eyes, which was enough to kill him a hundred times, his whole body went limp. When he saw the pale-faced Ah Hong, he scolded: "Bitch, you ruined my big thing." โ€

Ah Hong sneered at each other and said, "Liu Dapeng." You will take revenge, not a man. โ€

Liu Dapeng's whole body was shocked, and he lowered his head.

Chen Shouxin only said one sentence when he saw Liu Dapeng: "Even if the beast cuts you with a thousand knives, it is difficult to solve the hatred in my heart." โ€

Chen Shouxin gave Liu Dapeng a way to die in one sentence. Thousands of knives, Ling Chi was executed. "Yin Hand Dart" Chen Lufeng took matters into his own hands, wrapped a fishing net around his body and tightened it, his muscles bulged out, and the knife was picked up and cut off piece by piece. Liu Dapeng is also a man, and he just held up and didn't say a word. More than 1,000 knives were cut back and forth, and the belly was cut and the internal organs flowed out, and Liu Dapeng breathed. Chen Shouxin took his head to pay tribute to the ghost of Wu Laogong, cried a lot, and left Ying'er in the mansion. As for Ah Hong's merit in capturing Liu Dapeng, he got a lot of silver, and left Shiyanpo Wharf after being good, and he didn't know where to go.

Ou Lingtian, the king of Huashan, was relieved to know that Liu Dapeng was executed by Chen Shouxin Ling Chi.

The great eunuch Liu Jing knew that all the 20,000 stone smuggling official salt had been hijacked by the water bandits, and this time his personnel suffered heavy injuries, especially the Da Nei masters of the East Factory who died several people in a row, and Liu Dapeng did not see anyone alive or dead. He didn't close his eyes for days and nights in heartache. It is said that the person who hijacked the salt ship was the water bandit of Chen Yan, the "dragon who turned over the river". Under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor. Chen Yan is a person of the pirate Chen Zuyi, and he has a nickname called "Baitiao in the Waves". escaped death, of course, full of hatred for officers and soldiers. Liu Jing was in trouble.

This matter first had to be concealed from Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Liu Jing did not stop doing it, secretly executed the sailors who escaped, and cast a net to secretly investigate the whereabouts of 20,000 Shiguan salt, Shiyanpo Wharf bore the brunt, it should be said that Dongchang's minions are all over the country, and the intelligence agencies are also very powerful, but they just can't find out the whereabouts of this batch of official salt. Chen Shouxin eliminated a trace of qiฤ“, and it did not leak.

The goods are lost, the business still has to be done, this financial road is a million profits, Liu Jing will not stop and not do it, the salt merchants in Huai'an are also seriously injured this time, and when they see Liu Jing's suffering, their faces are not colored. Liu Jing also had to comfort them, the loss in the embankment and the compensation outside the embankment, salt is a necessity of life, a family of ten, salt for ten people, a family of 100, salt for 100 people. It can be said that salt is a necessary thing for every household to live, and its stability, long-term and extensiveness can be compared with other commodities. The annual salt demand of the Ming Dynasty was 800 million catties according to the population at that time, and the annual fixed marketing of official salt in the country was about 500 million catties, and more than a quarter of the salt market was encroached upon by private salt.

In fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, pioneered the method of opening up the Chinese law, in order to transport a certain amount of grain to the border areas and pay salt according to the official price, so that Huai merchants could operate salt while meeting the needs of border grain, grain allocation, and salt price stability. By the time of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, this law has gradually declined, officials and businessmen colluded to transport and sell smuggled salt, no tax payment, no difficulty in waiting, short purchase and sales time, fast capital turnover, and its benefits are huge.

In addition, the merchant took advantage of the private salt and bribed the salt officials. Salt officials took bribes and indulged in personal gain, claiming that they were mere formalities, and that salt quotations were regarded as false, and even helped forge salt quotations to facilitate smuggling. Smuggling is endless, and it is profitable. The big eunuch Liu Jing took advantage of this loophole, because it has little risk and quick money. As soon as Liu Jing lost a large amount of smuggled salt, the imperial court ordered the Huai'an Salt Patrol Imperial Shi to quickly organize the official salt to be transported to Sichuan.

Huai'an Patrol Salt Imperial History is called Liang Jinzin, and Liu Jing wolf bรจi is a traitor, from which he profits, and this loss also has his share, and he told Liu Jing the news. The number of salt transportation was huge, and Huai'an patrolled the salt imperial history to gather 30 wooden sailing ships and 50,000 stone official salt. Along the Yangtze River, Sichuan to Chongqing. The Imperial Military Aircraft Department sent the Ming Army Sailor to escort the escort, five Cangshan ships, a small fortune boat, and nearly 1,000 sailors, and there was no such water bandit on the Yangtze River that dared to compete with such a powerful Ming Army Sailor. Liang Jinzhen informed Liu Jing of this huge good news, and Liu Jing was overjoyed.

This time, the imperial court named Huai'an to patrol the salt imperial Shi Liang Jinzhen to personally escort it, and he had the final say, so it was logical to secretly hide the private salt in the official salt. Wooden sailing ships loaded with 2,000 stone official salt, 30 ships can be loaded with 60,000 stone official salt, if a few more sailing ships set off together, the number reaches 40 ships can be loaded with 80,000 stones, 50,000 stones can be transported normally, and 30,000 stones are used for smuggling, you can make up for all the losses last time, and you can also make a lot of money.

Liang Jinzhen began to arrange, adding 10 wooden sailing ships to the official transport fleet is nothing, and the officers and soldiers who escort them all know it, plus the soldiers from Dongchang appeared, who would dare to say a word. The chief sailor on the Xiaofu ship is called Chen Zhanwei, who has repeatedly made military exploits at sea with the Daming sailors, and is a celebrity around Zheng He, and now he has also become a sailor who escorts the wooden sailing boat, and he is angry. So what, Liang Jinzinc crushed people to death at the first level, and he didn't take him seriously at all. Liu Jing is still smart, knowing that Chen Zhanwei is still a general in Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, and his words are useful, so he came to Huai'an in person to see Chen Zhanwei with kind words and comfort, and promised him a benefit after the matter is completed. Chen Zhanwei is not stupid, he knows Liu Jing's weight, and agrees.

Now everything is ready only to owe the east wind, the wooden sailboat is loaded in Huai'an Shun, Liu Jing sent Liu Yunqin, the deputy commander-in-chief of the East Factory, is also a eunuch, cunning, with many ghost ideas, and the two entourages around him are martial arts and courageous. Liu Yunqin said to Liu Jing: "Lord Liu, the last batch of goods was hijacked in Baigou Gorge, the 'Turning River Dragon' water bandit force should not be underestimated, they are good at using the terrain to attack suddenly, we can't make the same mistake." โ€

Liu Jing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will send someone to search for the White Dog Gorge and other natural dangers to prevent problems before they happen." This time, you have strong ships and cannons, more than 1,000 sailors, and thieves have to consider if they want to hijack them, do they have this strength? If you don't come, it's enough, and when you come, we will unite by land and water, and catch them all. โ€

Liu Yunqin was relieved, and met Chen Zhanwei, the chief of the sailors, and soon became brothers, and agreed that the soldiers of Dongchang would disguise themselves as boatmen to guard the wooden sailing boat and act when the opportunity came. The Shiyan Naval Division did not support well last time, and the guard Zhan Guocheng received Liu Jing's order, this time it was the imperial court's salt fleet, and the matter was heavy, and it was not allowed to make mistakes. As for what mistakes Liu Jing didn't say, smuggling official salt is not an obvious thing after all, and the fewer people who know, the better. (To be continued......)
