Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

It's impossible for the guards to hide it. Why do you help that pirate for so little money?But it is impossible for anyone with a little brain to do it.

What's more, the guards who follow Zhao Jue are not short of money. Zhao Jue casually raises his hand and leaks something to them. When he sent sea ships to trade, the guards invested a lot. This is Pang Yu leading the guards. They make money.

Basically, every bodyguard's net worth is not low, even those who used to have average family backgrounds, have been with Zhao Jue for so many years, and have already gotten rid of poverty and become rich.

The women were transferred to the ship, because there were dozens of them, and they were assigned to a large bunk, which made them feel more secure.

As for the aunt, she was not so lucky. It was impossible to give her cotton clothes. The woman who almost let the guards suffer and tipped off the news was also the boss's own mother. The best people can only have the good quality of tit for tat.

However, Zhao Jue was still very interested in the treasures that the boss said. As the saying goes, thieves don't leave empty space. Although they are not thieves, the other party is a pirate, so it's no problem to empty them out.

After interrogation, I found out that this leader is actually the second generation on the island, and his father is also the first generation on the island. After being born with his mother, he passed away two years ago. The second generation knew that the woman gave birth to him. people, but they do not recognize her as their mother.

This has something to do with the education of the first generation. It was an accident, and it happened that he needed an heir.

It was impossible to impress the leader with the old woman's affection, so he could only think of other ways. Zhao Jue would not participate in the interrogation.

The food on the boat is enough for them to eat for several weeks, so there is no need to worry about it. As for drinking water, there is fresh water on the island, as long as it is filtered and boiled, it can completely provide them with water.

A day later, the leader finally couldn't bear to confess. Of course, it was also because the people around him also recruited, so he couldn't hold back anymore.

Only then did they know that this small island looks ordinary, but there is another world. On the other side of the cliff, in the cave connected to the sea, there is actually a pirate ship full of treasures they plundered, and even a pirate ship. Chests of gold.

When these golds were carried in front of Zhao Jue and Pang Yu, Pang Yu was a little puzzled. It didn't look like the gold refined by this dynasty. kind of.

"This gold doesn't look right." The guard picked up a piece of gold, saying that it was robbed in this dynasty, unless someone secretly mined gold mines in this dynasty, otherwise there would be no such thing at all.

"How strange, the purity of this gold is too poor." Another person pinched the gold and said.

"We seem to have discovered a new problem. People need to continue the interrogation to find out where the gold came from." Pang Yu announced helplessly.

Zhao Jue also agreed, this kind of gold is definitely behind a black hand who mines gold privately, and the imperial court will absolutely not allow it to happen.

Once this control is not good, it is likely to develop into private mining by the whole people, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The boss didn't expect that after explaining the whereabouts of the treasure, he still couldn't escape the torture. It was really miserable, and his good followers were all there, and they all had to be interrogated again.

With these treasures, they can go back home and prepare to go to the port near Jiangdu first.

With steam engines, their sailing speed is absolutely unmatched by other sea ships. In this cold weather, there are hardly any sea ships on the sea.

Probably because the recent weather is relatively bad, and ordinary fishing boats cannot travel so far.

Unlike the sea boats that Pang Yu had seen in his previous life, the ancient fishing boats were relatively small, and he was worried when he looked at them, because they would easily turn over when a big wave came.

Only big families like the Lu family can afford big fishing boats, but generally speaking, those are for shipping, not fishing.

The mighty ships sailing to the pier, lined up, is still very spectacular.

This also excited the workers at the dock. With so many ships, this is a big deal!

Sure enough, Zhao Jue asked the guards to recruit workers to unload the goods. Those gold and silver treasures that were obtained from Pirate Island could never be left on the ship forever, especially those golds that were not of good quality.

During those days at sea, they also found out from the mouth of the pirate where the gold came from. They snatched it, and it was naturally on a sea ship. At that time, the pirate leader remembered the sea ship. Who does it belong to.

Because it was gold refined privately, the other party didn't dare to say anything, so the dumb guy could only bite it into pieces and swallow it in his stomach.

However, it is also because of being robbed at sea. Recently, the sea has been more active in combating pirates. It seems that it is a bounty offered by a certain company.

It's just that this bounty is not a family, after all, this and the pirates have harmed the people nearby, even those rich people's ships.

Who can not hate it?

Of course, what I hate the most is being robbed of gold, that's gold.

The dozens of women disembarked in the middle of the escort, took a temporarily rented carriage, and headed to Jiangdu City. Pang Yu was planning to find a women's college to arrange for these people. Compared with those who need to deal with men, it is possible to go to the women's college for the time being. will be better.

Moreover, there are still many dormitories in the women's college that are not full. First, they must have a place to settle down.

The teachers of the women's college were very excited about the arrival of the former principal. As for the students, the first batch of students had already graduated and left the college. The newcomers did not know Pang Yu.

Pang Yu and Zhao Jue were both men, so it was inconvenient for the students to see them. They entered the academy quietly and explained the situation at the same time.

The main reason is that Pang Yu wanted to let these women learn to read, and the literacy class in the women's college is the best.

Settle down first, then eliminate illiteracy, and give them a new identity so that they can live in Jiangdu City.

A group of people were sent to a dormitory where no one lived, mainly for people from the literacy class. These people came just as the people from the previous literacy class left.

The literacy class usually lasts for three to six months. After learning to understand simple characters, etc., they can enter various factories to recruit workers, and then they can live in the factory dormitory when they have a job, and they will naturally move out.

So far, I have never met someone who refuses to leave, and no one can be so brazen.

The accommodation and meals here are free, which relieved the anxiety of the women who came back from Pirate Island. At the same time, Pang Yu gave each of them a bag of money, so it was impossible for them to be penniless.

Now that everything is in charge, how can it be anticlimactic.

"You will live here temporarily, and the money I will give you is enough to buy two smaller houses here." Pang Yu said softly, "If you are willing to listen to my advice, you can study in the literacy class. Study for a while."

All the women nodded. They needed to adapt here again. It was beyond their expectation that they could live in such a nice house.

"If there is anything you can't solve, you can ask the principal, and she will help you if she can." Pang Yu continued, "I have sent someone to handle the household registration, and I believe it will be resolved soon."

Pang Yu and the others couldn't stay here for too long because they had to deal with the gold issue. As for the pirates, those who committed the most heinous crimes would be sentenced to death by a thousand swords, and most of them would be thrown into the mines.

If he made the little lady want to see it, she could wait a few days to watch the execution.

For such enemies, the women would naturally want to watch them die with their own eyes. If it wasn't for these pirates, how could they suffer for so long.

Pang Yu and the others quickly set off on the road, because they were going to investigate, so their whereabouts were relatively low-key, and they found the most low-key carriage to Qiantang.

That's right, according to the intelligence, the source of the gold is in the location of Qiantang. That's why Pang Yu and the others went there in a carriage, and all the guards were also dispersed, pretending to be different professions.

It's a pity that the train hasn't reached here yet, otherwise they wouldn't have to travel so painfully, passing a ruined temple, we don't quite understand why there are always ruined temples in the world of martial arts.

Anyway, there is no Ah Piao, and there is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River. If they don't go in, they will only be caught in the rain, or squeezed into the small broken carriage.

Zhao Jue had never been wronged like this before, mainly because he didn't want Pang Yu to be wronged, so he sent someone to collect some firewood and came back. When he entered the dilapidated temple, he found that there were already people inside.

Oh, it's still an acquaintance.

"It's Xiong Fei and Xiaobai." Pang Yu greeted cheerfully.

"Pang Ruzhang? Why are you here? Aren't you staying in the capital?" Bai Yutang asked in surprise. Bai Yutang is now 14 years old. .

"Of course I came out to play, how about you?" Pang Yu still teased him like a child, and asked with a smile.

"I'm not as naive as you, I have business to do." Bai Yutang replied arrogantly.

Under Zhan Zhao's explanation, it turned out that the two of them were escorting Bao Heizi to Guangdong, because they had good political achievements before, and now they can be regarded as promoted, and they are going to Duanzhou to be the magistrate.

"Officer, I found some firewood, but it was very wet." Two people dressed as yamen servants walked in, looked up and saw Zhao Jue, Pang Yu and the others. They were taken aback for a moment, but soon came to Bao Heizi's place around.

"Don't be nervous, I know this." Bao Zheng didn't want to disclose the identities of the two, but simply told them.

Then Zhao Jue's guards came in, holding wet firewood as well, but their expressions were not abnormal, but they used internal force to quickly dry the firewood.

It was only then that Bai Yutang discovered why he always felt that something was wrong with those two people coming in. It turned out that the clothes on their bodies were not wet.

How could Zhao Lingwang, with his high martial arts skills, make Pang Yu drenched? The moment he entered, he used his internal force to dry off the rain on Pang Yu's body.

The fire ignited and took away the cold brought by the rain.

Bai Yutang was more curious about why Pang Yu appeared here. One must know that the Chinese New Year is not too far away, so why are the officials willing to let the two of them run away?

Not to mention Zhao Jue's protection of Pang Yu. If he said he was going to spend the Chinese New Year in Jiangdu, he still reluctantly believed that it was not normal to have to travel in such a cold weather.
