Daming Junior Scholar

After much deliberation, He Jia'an couldn't figure this out, but he only needed to know who was targeting him, and waved Tang Lin down to make preparations. Two days later, it was time to leave for Paju.

When it comes to winter, the days of the gangs on the canal are a bit sad. There is no way to transport a large amount of grain to the capital. They can only continue to transport grain after the canal is fully opened. It is not easy to make grain transport ships like mine. For other business, I can only watch so many official ships on the canal shuttle back and forth non-stop, transferring groups of guests back and forth between Jiangnan and the capital.

Although it is already Chinese New Year, but the food will have to wait for a month before it can continue to be sent to the capital. These people from the Cao Gang gathered at the wharf in Suzhou, waiting for a boat to stop, and rushed over , asked if there was any work that could be done, and those who stayed were naturally happy, while those who didn't grab the position retreated with a look of frustration.

No, when they saw a whole fleet coming from the upper reaches, everyone's eyes lit up immediately. More boats means more work. Maybe today's income will arrive soon.

The fleet soon landed on the wharf in Suzhou, but it was a little different from everyone's expectations. After the fleet docked, only the first boat got out on a gangplank. Although there were people shaking on the other boats, they were always there. No one appeared, but a handsome Young Master came out of the first boat, and after getting off the boat swaggeringly, he was about to leave, but there was an unwilling Libaduo who asked, "Young Master, do you need Liba on the boat?"

The young master turned his head and glanced at the hundreds of longing eyes, smiled to himself, waved his hands casually, and then said lightly: "My king is happy today. I can't bear to see everyone working so hard for the Chinese New Year. This way, each person will be rewarded fifty Wen." After finishing the order, he turned his head and walked straight to the shore.

Wow, now I meet a rich man, even though he has no work to do, he still has [-] cents to take. Everyone looks at me and I look at you, it's like dreaming.

Sure enough, the butler who was left soon took a basket from the boat. As long as everyone in the line came up, everyone could get fifty coins. After everyone lined up in a long line, they began to pick it up in order. .

Not everyone thinks that fifty renminbi is enough. Some of them rolled their eyes when they got it first, turned around in a big circle and ran back. As soon as they stood at the back of the line, they were taken out. He slapped him straight across the face, cursing and cursing Li Li: "You bastard, the little prince is looking at you for pity, but you came here to take advantage of it, get out, get out quickly."

He kicked the person aside three times and twice, which also shocked the other people who planned to receive the money twice. After receiving the money, they hurriedly ran to the side obediently, never daring to come over again.

Without much effort, all the Liba on the pier received the money. The butler saw that there was not much left in the money basket, so he untied the rope and threw it vigorously into the sky, and then saw a lot of money. The copper coins fell from the sky.

It was as if a whirlwind was blowing on the flat ground, and the crowd who had just calmed down rushed out immediately, ignoring the laughter from the crowd, and opened their palms as wide as possible, trying to catch every copper coin, and then another one piece.

Nearly a thousand copper coins were quickly divided up, which also caused some disputes. After all, when they rushed up, everyone only had copper coins in their eyes. As long as they stood by their side, they were their enemies, and the way to deal with them would naturally be different. You're being polite, and both sides are angry people, so they fought immediately after the first visit.

Seeing this, the butler didn't intend to persuade them, but laughed like watching a play. It wasn't until the two sides of the fight were opened up that these people returned to the boat talking and laughing.

All these things were seen by one person. This person was none other than Jiang Mubai, the young leader of the Cao Gang.

At this time, Jiang Mubai is no longer like the swinger of the past, and his years of business career have tempered himself in a disguised form. At this time, even if his father sees him, he dare not hit him like he used to, and scold him whenever he says it. He is now a well-known big businessman in Suzhou City, even the prefect of Suzhou will take the initiative to greet him when he sees him, let alone himself.

Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Mubai saw everything that happened in front of his eyes, but he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Ma Liu."

"Master." A strong man jumped down from the shaft of the chariot and responded.

"Find someone to inquire about whose fleet this is."

"Okay." After Ma Liu responded, he quickly disappeared behind the crowd.

After giving the order, Jiang Mubai pulled down all the curtains, and the carriage slowly disappeared at the pier.

After about half an hour, Jiang Mubai waited in his inn for Ma Liu who came back.

"Master Hui, I heard that this boat came from the capital, and the person sitting in it is Prince Ning's son. He was planning to return to Nanchang and happened to pass by Suzhou."

King Ning?

When hearing King Ning, Jiang Mubai immediately thought of He Jiaan. When He Jiaan was in trouble in Suzhou, he was helped by King Ning, but it seemed that he had a quarrel with King Ning, so he returned to Suzhou. When I heard that Prince Ning's son was passing by, I was a little curious.

After thinking about it, Jiang Mubai asked, "What's on his boat?"

"It is said that it is a special product from the capital, and it will honor King Ning when he goes back."

"Special products?" Jiang Mubai curled his lips, and snorted disdainfully: "These young masters still have such thoughts? Besides, what special products does the capital have? You can't bring back the corn and sweet potatoes sent by Mr. He?"

"Hehe." Ma Liu echoed Jiang Mubai's words with a smile, and then said in a low voice, "Master, why don't I find some people to try at night?"

Jiang Mubai blinked, and finally nodded after thinking for a while: "It's okay to try. Seeing how aggressive they are, we should teach them a lesson. If it's copper, it's fine. If it's silver, just go ahead and give it a try. Let’s talk in the river.”

"Understood." After Ma Liu responded, he retreated again.

Jiang Mubai sat in the room with his head down and didn't know what he was thinking about. After a while, a disdainful smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "Prince Ning, you should be honest. How good is your son, if you insist on going to Suzhou to show off your might, do you really think Suzhou is deserted?"

"idiot."

Chapter 1293

Chapter 1293

The night was already deep, and the big boats moored at the pier were gradually sinking into silence. At this moment of silence, two black figures suddenly emerged from the river. After careful observation, they went on Back into the water again.

When the black shadow came out of the water again, it was already close to Zhu Yi's fleet. After careful observation, after confirming that there were no sentries, the two figures emerged carefully from the water, and then climbed to the side of the boat. deck.

There was still no one on the deck, and the two looked at each other helplessly, thinking that the fleet would be so heavily guarded, but unexpectedly, they didn't even see a single figure.

There was nothing on the deck, and the two of them carefully groped into the cabin, except for hearing a thunderous sound in one cabin, they still didn't meet anyone.

What the hell, when the two came here, they began to feel faintly disappointed. According to the experience of the two of them, there might not be any dry goods inside such a loosely guarded ship. Maybe the rumors are not false. The stuff inside is indeed from the capital. native products.

It's just that what kind of local specialties actually want to make such a big commotion?

Filled with curiosity, the two finally touched the bottom of the ship, but to their surprise, the whole bottom was empty, and they couldn't touch anything at all, even if the two of them had the guts to put The torch was lit, but they still saw nothing, and the two of them did not dare to speak until they quietly got out of the cabin, and one of them asked in a low voice: "Sixth brother, what is going on, this Ning Wang family My little prince has put up such a big battle, why doesn't he bring anything?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Ma Liu was also confused, blinked his eyes, and felt that if he went back like this, he might not be able to explain to the young gang leader. Anyway, it was still early, so he gritted his teeth and pulled the brother Jumped over to the next boat.

The two of them searched the past one boat after another, but there were empty boats everywhere they passed. This time, Ma Liu also got angry, and he didn't believe that Prince Ning brought so many boats. , all of them were empty, and I just touched them one by one, until the last one was left, Ma Liu finally stopped. The difference from the others was that there were people on this boat.

There were not many people on the other boats, and most of them were asleep, but this boat was different. As far as Maliu could see, there were four people patrolling back and forth. They didn't rest so late, They are still on duty at night, which means that there must be something very valuable on this ship that is worth protecting.

Of course, this thing will definitely not be Prince Ning's son, because he never came back after getting off the boat, so what else is left besides his words?

Ma Liu's patience has always been very good. There are still two hours between now and dawn, and he has a lot of opportunities to sneak up on it. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, a few people finally came out of the cabin, separated from each other, and went to replace other night watchmen.

This is the opportunity I have been waiting for. When their attention was on his own people, Ma Liu led his brother Ma Qi and rushed out immediately. The two moved swiftly and quickly. He jumped onto the deck in one fell swoop, and then immediately got into the cabin while no one was paying attention.

It was necessary to find a hiding place immediately, after all, those subordinates were about to return to the cabin, and the two quickly found the cabin according to the path they remembered, and immediately found a corner to hide.

Without much effort, I heard the faint candlelight flashing overhead. When I passed by the cabin, I stopped and looked inside. After seeing nothing, I walked over. Without much effort, I went to the cabin. Disappeared without a trace.

"Huh." Ma Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled in a low voice: "Brother Six, we must have caught a big fish this time, and we deserve to get rich."

"Be careful, it will be over if someone finds out."

"Don't worry, these idiots will definitely not find out."

After the two of them finished talking, they carefully touched it out. After feeling that there was no one around, they took out the torch again to illuminate the time in front of them. Ma Liu finally noticed that there was a large wooden box in the middle of the cabin. The box, just don't know what's in it.

"Sixth brother, this doesn't look like a silver box." Ma Qi looked around in confusion.

Isn’t this nonsense? How can there be such a big silver box? Ma Liu hesitated and said in a low voice: “Open it and see what’s inside.”

It took a lot of effort to get here tonight, if you just go back after you can't get anything, wouldn't you suffer this crime for nothing.

The two brothers picked up the iron poker on the ground, and hurriedly opened the top cover. When they poked the torch into it, they saw a thick black tube.

"What's this?" Ma Qi couldn't help being disappointed when she saw that it wasn't silver inside, she touched the thick tube with her hand, but it was very cold when she touched it, she dared to say that it was made of iron.

"Brother Liu, do you know what this is? Is it worth money?" Ma Qi didn't understand, and looked at Ma Liu curiously.
