Chapter 166

Late autumn, October.

Ten cargo ships were sailing on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. These ten ships were hung with the Yingtian Prefecture official flag, the Jiangnan Guard Army flag and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau's inner court flag, which were spectacular on the river channel. One of these flags could be unobstructed on the canal. Now three flags were hung together, and some small cargo ships on the canal avoid it.

The three sets of flags represent these three forces. The six doors of Zhang Youqian and I represent the government. Feng Bao and the three little eunuchs represent the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and the military forces responsible for the main task of releasing the delivery were the Jinling garrison.

The leader's surname is Jiang Dahai, and he is a deputy general under Bai Youcai, the governor of Jinling.

According to the regulations of the court, there were only a hundred magistrates of Jinling, including Kuai, Zao and Zhuang yamen runners, responsible for public security, inspections, etc. in the city. The Jinling garrison was a military team stationed in Jinling, responsible for suppressing bandits, resisting Japanese deputies, and unified under the control of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Governors. Of course, in order to facilitate dispatch, many local governors also served as governors, such as Hu Zongxian, the former governor and governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

When we set out, we took the route of action, how many kilometers we traveled every day and where we rested, we were all set and we must not change easily. Since Jiang Dahai was responsible for the overall transportation, the Six Gates and the Weaving Bureau jointly visited the Jiangnan Guard and discussed the suspension.

When we arrived at the cabin, we were stopped by our subordinates. We, Lord Jiang, were discussing the important matters of the military and national affairs. You can wait here for a while.

I asked, I wonder what military and national affairs are being studied?

The subordinates said impatiently that this is a military secret, and asking too much is a crime of beheading.

Not long after, two women in disarray walked out of Jiang Dahai's cabin and hurriedly left the back cabin.

Jiang Dahai was naked with his upper body, his temple was bulging, and his tendon was full of flesh. He practiced the external door and horizontal practice.

When we went in, we were holding a bunch of grapes and leisurely delivering them to our mouths.

Zhang Youqian whispered, "After all, they were officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They actually visited prostitutes and had fun during their official duties, and did not call me together. This was outrageous. I patted him in the head, why are we here?"

Jiang Dahai narrowed his eyes and did not get up, which made Feng Bao a little unhappy.

Jiang Dahai asked: I wonder what the three of you are looking for?

I said that this time I escorted Dong Gong, the court arranged for us to work together, and came to visit General Jiang to discuss the matters of the process.

Jiang Dahai looked at us carefully and asked, "You two know how to do martial arts?"

I thought to myself that even if you practice the external skills to the end, the external force will produce internal force, at best, which is more than the strength above the realm of hearing.

In the world, practicing martial arts outside is not as good as the level, which has almost become a stalemate. Due to the lack of internal and external interaction, it is impossible to master the operation of the true essence. External practice skills always have limitations. Therefore, there are very few foreign masters in the world and the top thirty sects in the world.

Of course, this is not absolute. For example, Han Rulong, who had the power of dragon and elephant in Ruyi Sect back then, said that he had the ability to practice Kung Fu beyond his strength and practiced until he was indestructible.

I nodded and practiced a little.

Jiang Dahai didn't raise his head, and snorted, saying: I see that you two are weak, and they don't look like you know martial arts. You six doors don't help the old lady cross the road in the city or catch cats on the widows, but they are involved in this matter. I really don't understand. The escort of the winter tribute has always been a matter of the military. I wonder why the court sent you six doors and people from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau this year to accompany you. They are really a dog and a rat, and they meddling in other people's business.

I thought this was a bit strange. Jiang Dahai was talking to us everywhere, and obviously didn't welcome us. But then I thought again, it was very likely that it was our existence, like the Cao Bang sucking in private goods, blocking their way out of their wealth.

Zhang Youqian said that Jiang Jie General was a bit too much. Although our brothers are not very good at martial arts, they can meet ordinary people in the world, which is enough for them to drink.

Jiang Dahai smiled mutely and said, "You are the three-legged cat kung fu?"

Zhang Youqian said that my brothers went up the mountain to slaughter dragons, went down the sea to slaughter dragons, and walked sideways in the Hall of Hades. How could they be called a three-legged cat?

Jiang Dahai slowly walked out, came to the deck, and reached out to draw a long sword from his subordinate. This knife was forged in the Ming Dynasty, and was forged in pig iron. Although it was not said that the iron was cut like mud, it was also sharp. Jiang Dahai handed it to his subordinate, pointed to his head, and said, "Come and try to cut me."

The subordinate, as a long sword, slashed with one knife, and there was only a click, as if he had cut on the golden spear. The long sword broke into two pieces, and there was not even a blood mark on Jiang Dahai's head.

Zhang Youqian sighed, "I practice the Iron and Steel of the Vajra, and I am invulnerable to swords and guns, and I am good at kung fu."

Jiang Dahai laughed and just knew. From today on, I have the final say on whether these ten ships will leave or stop.

Feng Bao said that would not work. We can stop and wait, and we are all booked in black and white.

Jiang Dahai glared at me, "You are a hero who has no eggs, and you have the ability to compete with me. If you believe it or not, you will beat your eggs. Oh, you have no eggs."

This sentence pushed Feng Bao into a gloomy face, but Feng Bao did not know martial arts. He forced himself to hold back his anger and said this to Jiang Dahai. He would rather offend thousands of censors than offend one eunuch. Lord Jiang, I remember what you said.

Jiang Dahai was about to beat Feng Bao up when he raised his fist. Zhang Youqian and I hurriedly held him. Why should General Jiang be as good as his experience as he said that, and even signaled Feng Bao to leave quickly.

I had long heard that the garrisons in Jiangnan were in trouble, but I didn't expect to meet someone like Jiang Dahai who was very selfish and greedy for power. This time I met, I showed off my martial arts power to us and took over the entire fleet's right to speak, without giving us a good look.

After we said goodbye, we came to the main cabin and saw Feng Bao sitting there drinking, but his eyes were full of anger: Sooner or later, he fell on my hand, and I would suck my skin and suck my bones, and I would never forgive him!

I don't have a deep relationship with Feng Bao. I have always been a job under Feng Linggan, a man who acts very low-key and does things gentlely. I didn't expect that because of Jiang Dahai's humiliation, he would say such things.

When he said this, Jiang Dahai was walking in. He said coldly, who would suck the skin and marrow?

Feng Bao quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

Zhang Youqian shouted, "General Jiang, come here to have a drink."

Jiang Dahai came over with a big golden sword, sat at the table, and slapped Feng Bao aside, saying, "Get out, I won't drink with the eunuch."

Feng Bao was pushed to the ground and walked out with a calm face.

Then Jiang Dahai ordered his left and left to go out and asked in a low voice, "Do you two want to get rich?"

I said who doesn’t want to get rich? The problem is that there is no way.

Jiang Dahai said, I have some solutions here. How much does it cost to pay for you two people in Liushumen?

I said thirty or fifty taels of silver.

Jiang Dahai said: If the two of you cooperate, I can't guarantee that if there is too much, it's no problem for each person to have three or five hundred taels.

Zhang Youqian's eyes showed a cunning look, three or five hundred taels, so much? Isn't it illegal?

Jiang Dahai said, this may, perhaps, some may be illegal.

Zhang Youqian said it was okay, let’s say, who should I kill? I’m eighteen years old and can kill people.

Jiang Dahai said, "You are so fucking that it's illegal to kill people at the age of 78. Who told you to kill people? Are there ten ships?"

I said yes.

Jiang Dahai said again, isn’t there any money on the ship?

I said yes, these silvers are used for tribute. Are we going to custody and steal it?

Jiang Dahai spat, what does custody steal? Think about what is this silver? People’s money and ointment! Escort to the capital and send it to various yamen gates. What is this called bribery!

Zhang Youqian said it makes sense.

Jiang Dahai said, of course, we are all public servants, and we will have to have some public meals in the future. The food should not be too ugly. We will make 8,000 taels of rice and the New Year is coming soon, brothers will give it one.

I asked, if this is the case, the number of people who come to the capital is not up to the same level, so how can I get the job?

Jiang Dahai said, so we need to cooperate. From then on, there is a Chenjiadu thirty miles north, with a bunch of horses inside. The leader is my sworn brother. I will arrange to stop there tonight. Then they will ask them to dock. After stealing, they will say that a ship was attacked by bandits and lost 10,000 taels of silver. At that time, you brothers will need to write the documents of the court.

I asked, wouldn’t those bandits also have to share one?

Jiang Dahai sneered and said, "What a big deal, then I will take my brothers to kill them and destroy the corpses."

I couldn't help but smack my tongue, Brother Jiang, in society, I don't talk much.

When I returned to the cabin, I said I really didn’t expect that Jiang Dahai was still a tough guy, but we really want to join him?

Zhang Youqian said, as the son of the richest man in the capital, Captain Su, do you think you will betray your moral bottom line for three to five hundred taels of silver?

I asked back, do you have a moral bottom line?

Zhang Youqian scratched his head, as if there was no money. Anyway, the money was given to corrupt officials. Who would be happy if they were greedy or happy? Confucius said that if they didn’t take it, they would be free. If they didn’t take it, they would be free. If they took it, they would be free.

When did Confucius say it?

Zhang Youqian said why do you care so much?

In fact, compared to Jiang Dahai's recruitment of people, what I am more worried about is what Xie Junfan said before leaving that someone in the world wants to kill us.

I cursed Xie Junfan in my heart, saying that if you say such a thing, it would be better to say it. At worst, when you encounter danger, you will fight against each other and die. If you have nothing to do, say someone wants to kill us. Let us be careful. Isn’t this intention to cause trouble for us?

The boat sailed thirty miles and arrived at Chenjiadu.

According to the itinerary, the ship should head north to Lugang to dock. At this moment, Jiang Dahai ordered the anchor to stop, Feng Bao hid in the cabin, did not come out, and did not raise any objections.

Jiang Dahai summoned us into the cabin, and there were more than a dozen officers and soldiers wearing swords in the cabin. Jiang Dahaidao, success or failure will be tonight. Everyone said in unison, "I will win!"

Late at night, the cry of a night owl came from the riverside. Jiang Dahailian ordered someone to respond, and the bandits who arranged for the robbers to rob the ship were in place.

Jiang Dahai asked, there will be a hard battle later, what weapons do you two use?

Zhang Youqian said, I use a sword, my brother uses a gun.

Jiang Dahai said we only have knives.

Zhang Youqian rolled his eyes, then you asked for nothing.

At the command of Jiang Dahai, the two of them carried two swords and came to the river bank with the soldiers. In the dark night, more than a dozen bandits walked out and said, "Mr. Jiang, I have been waiting for a long time."

Jiang Dahaidao, let’s do it.

Zhang Youqian shouted, "Let's move the money."

Jiang Dahai sneered, let's move your head first.

A thrill, dozens of people gathered us together.
