The brothers were silent, fifty taels of silver, which was an astronomical amount to them. If you save some, the family can live a worry-free life for two years. When this year passes, the Minjiang River is clean and you can still fish to maintain your life. So "Ghost Sorrow" Bin Jian and "Arrow God" Lan Lingxi gradually understood what happened, and also learned a very important news, this time the official salt Huai'an patrol salt imperial Shi Liang Jinzin reported to the imperial court is 50,000 stones, 20 wooden sailing ships can be loaded. But in fact, with 30 wooden sailing boats, the extra 10 wooden sailing boats must have been loaded with smuggled salt.

Lan Lingxi finally understood why the great eunuch Liu Jing was desperately trying to hide this matter, 10 smuggling wooden sailing boats, that is, tens of thousands of stones of smuggled salt, the profits were considerable, and the master of Dongchang Da Nei must be on these 10 wooden sailing boats, Chen Zhanwei, the head of the Daming Sailors, would not not know that he was also dragged into the water and colluded with Liu Jing and the wolf bèi, and profited from it.

In addition, Jiang Lao Er also provided a situation, there are Yitiao painting imitation boats in the fleet, gorgeously decorated, singing and dancing inside, and so on to fight without resistance, the fastest run, and finally intercepted by the water bandits, even the people with the boat are gone. It should be the private boat of Huai'an Patrol Salt Imperial Shi Liang Jinzin, what can he do as an unrestrained official in the fierce water battle, raise his hands and surrender. paid a ransom to the "River Dragon" to redeem himself, and it is no wonder that Liang Jinzinc was unharmed.

The problems became clear one by one, and both of them were silent, the great eunuch Liu Jing did too much this time, and many people were involved, according to the emperor's temper, maybe he wouldn't do anything to Liu Jing now, but the people involved in this matter are going to be unlucky, Huai'an Patrol Salt Imperial Shi Liang Jinzin, Chen Zhanwei, the chief manager of the Daming Water Division, and Liu Yunqin, the deputy commander of the East Factory, these people deserve to die. No one can protect them anymore.

Bin Jian discussed with Lan Ling Xiyi, and the two did not concede at all, that is, how did Chen Yan, the "River Dragon", defeat the invincible Da Ming Shui Shi and make them raise their hands to surrender, which has never happened before. As for whether the fishermen say that the dragons and water monsters in the river are credible or not, the tribute cannons and Franc machines on the Xiaofu ship have strong firepower, and the ordinary wooden sailing boats need a cannonball to hit directly and basically finish, and the bowl-mouth guns, Lumi guns, spray canisters and rockets on the five Cangshan boats are intensively fired, and how many water bandits are useless. Chen Zhanwei, the head of the Daming Naval Division, was familiar with naval warfare and made countless achievements. How can a boat capsize in the gutter?

"Ghost is worried" Bin Jian asked Jiang Laoer: "What weapons do the water bandits have?"

Jiang Lao Er replied: "It's amazing, the water bandits also have warships and cannons, a few rounds of fire, the Ming army's warships sank, burned, in the blink of an eye, three warships sank, and the remaining two surrendered with white flags, and were released by the water bandits." Wooden sailboats and painted imitation boats were all cupped. ”

Lan Lingxi was also secretly surprised, and the "River Turning Dragon" also had cannons. Dare to shoot at the Cangshan ship, the firepower is not ordinary. No wonder they dared to sneak attack the Ming army's sailors, they came prepared and fought quickly. The plan was so well laid out and the implementation was so successful. "White stripes in the waves" Chen Yan is really good here? "Ghost Sees Sorrow" Bin Jian thought for a while and said to Lan Lingxi: "I always feel that something is wrong. 'Turning the River Dragon' alone can't create such a powerful momentum, and there must be hidden secrets in it that we don't know. Now that we're here, we should investigate it thoroughly. General Lan, what do you say?"

Lan Lingxi is also a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and is as adventurous as Bin Jian, and replied, "What is Brother Bin Jian going to do?"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger. Let's just go and look for the water village of the 'Turning River Dragon' to see what kind of powerful weapons they have that can easily defeat General Chen Zhanwei. Find out the details of the enemy and cut the grass and root it. ”

Lan Lingxi said in surprise: "It's just the two of us, it's the Longtan Tiger's Den, we can't get in and out." ”

"Ghost is worried" Bin Jian smiled and said: "So far, no one has been able to keep me, is it man-made." ”

Lan Lingxi said: "It must be very exciting to be able to go deep into the enemy's lair with Bin Jian to spy on the enemy's situation, I did it." ”

The two of them glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

Jiang Lao Er is also a bloody man, and after listening to it next to him, he said, "Can you count me as one." ”

Bin Jian said: "That's the work of licking blood with a knife, aren't you really afraid of death?"

Jiang Lao Er replied more simply: "Is it rich and dangerous, fifty taels of silver is enough for the family to live for a few years." Besides, you have to go to the bandits' lair by water, and you can't move an inch without a boat. The two adults are as kind to me as a mountain, and it is not my character to repay the kindness. ”

Bin Jian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job, I like a man like you, who is affectionate and righteous, and stands up to the sky." After the completion of this mission, I will report to the emperor to ask for credit for you and share the glory and wealth. ”

Jiang Lao Er shook his head and said, "I don't want to do this, I am completely moved by the chivalrous courage of the two of them, and I just want to help you." ”

Three hands clasped together. The three of them reached a consensus, but "ghost sorrow" Bin Jian was too optimistic to estimate his ability, he didn't know that what he was facing now was not "white stripes in the waves" Chen Yan at all, what he had to face was the layers of difficulties of the great eunuch Liu Jing and the strict defense of the "Huashan Black Dragon". Liu Jing acted faster than him, and Liu Yunqin, the deputy commander of the East Factory, had already investigated their whereabouts and reported them to Liu Jing truthfully. When Liu Jing rushed to Shiyan overnight to see Ou Lingtian, King Huashan was in a daze in front of a large stack of silver tickets.

It's not that Ou Lingtian hasn't seen silver, and the "Plum Blossom Villa" back then was also a day in gold, and he lived a very leisurely life. But a disaster separated his wife and destroyed his family. I have worked hard with my brothers to get to where I am today. As the team continues to expand, there are too many places to use money. Overstretched everywhere, the big eunuch Liu Jing's smuggling of official salt business is simply a million profits, millions of taels of silver into the account, and the problem of shortage of funds is easily solved. The Yangtze River salt transportation control is firmly in his hands, and the silver ticket is like wings and constantly flying in.

His wife "Golden Gun" Lin Feilan laughed at him and said: "Husband, you are also a person who has passed through the world, this bit of silver will not scare you, right?"

Ou Lingtian also smiled and replied, "What I'm worried about is not that there is too much money, but how to use this silver money to make money." You know that I have a lot of soldiers under my command, and I can fight and kill, but I can't really let them do business. ”

Lin Feilan also felt the same way: "The 'Huashan Black Dragon' is now invincible, and it is time to find a new way out for the brothers." What we lack is people who can do business, but now there is a talented person, Shen Sirui, this girl is amazing, talented, and extremely smart. She can turn the regiments instructed by General Zhan Guocheng, the defenders of Shiyan, and she is also a good material for business. I have the intention to let her go to the capital to develop and make the business bigger, and I am also going to arrange an eyeliner there to collect news. ”

Ou Lingtian said it was a good idea.

Lin Feilan said: "At the moment, there is just a lack of a wedge, and the capital is mixed, if there is someone in the court to support it, it will be a matter of course." ”

As soon as Ou Ling Tian wanted to speak, his subordinates came to report that the great eunuch Liu Jing was here. Lin Feilan said with a smile: "I really want to come to anything, with the support of his East Factory, who dares to make trouble." Alas, great things come true. ”

Ou Lingtian, the king of Huashan, was very strange, what was Liu Jing doing at this time, something important must have happened, otherwise he would not dare to come to Shiyan in person. Hurriedly greeted out, the great eunuch Liu Jing saw that Ou Lingtian couldn't care about greetings, and said straight to the point: "Lord Ou, you are still at ease here, are you tired of counting money." I'm afraid that you have a life to earn money and not a life to spend money. ”

Ou Lingtian replied with a smile: "What's wrong with Lord Liu today, saying such unlucky words. We are both prosperous and lossy, I am dead, and Lord Liu will not be any better. ”

Liu Jing's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand and said, "Master Ou, I can't talk about you." The emperor has already noticed the smuggling of official salt, and sent someone to secretly investigate the matter, if we don't stop it, I'm afraid it will really fall to the ground. ”

Ou Lingtian hurriedly took him into the secret room, and after the two sat down, Liu Jing explained the situation. Ou Lingtian thought for a moment and said, "Master Liu, don't worry too much, things are not as strict as you imagined. The emperor hasn't caught the evidence yet, otherwise he would have done it a long time ago. Lan Lingxi is a martial artist who is not difficult to deal with, but that 'ghost is worried' Bin Jian is not simple, this person I know, was the most effective spy under the first emperor, and countless officials died under him. The emperor sent him out with the ambition to win. “

Liu Jing said: "As long as you get rid of these two people, you will be done once and for all." ”

Ou Lingtian said: "Lord Liu wants to borrow a knife to kill people, right?"

Liu Jing asked, "Do we have any other options?"

Ou Lingtian looked at his murderous face, this person was rotten from the inside out, with sores on the top of his head and thick soles on his feet. Careless of human life, ruthless and poisonous. Killing people is the simplest, one knife can kill you, the clues of the death of the "Arrow God" Lan Lingxi and the "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" Bin Jian are interrupted, and the emperor can hold Liu Jing accountable Liu Jing can completely put all the responsibility on his head, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. But he has to carry this black cauldron, how smart is King Huashan, and deliberately asked: "Lord Liu, what should I do if the emperor investigates it?"

Liu Jing replied more simply: "Let's just say that I was found and killed by the water bandits, who can find out?"

Ou Lingtian shook his head and said: "Killing people is not the best way, as soon as these two people die, the emperor will be even more suspicious of you, Lord Liu, will be more suspicious of you, Lord Liu, will you send more spies, can you kill them?"

Liu Jing was stunned.

What King Huashan said is right, the "God of Arrows" Lan Lingxi and the "Ghost Sees Sorrow" Bin Jian are both celebrities around the emperor, once they have an accident, will the emperor be indifferent? (To be continued......)
