Spreads of blood... All the villains on the official ship... Xu Qi'an was taken aback.
But he didn't make a reckless judgment, because water bandits often appeared on the canal, and these clerks might have just repelled the bandits who tried to plunder.
"What kind of ship is that, and why is it different from ours?" Xu Qi'an looked at the official ship that was getting closer, and casually asked his colleagues around him.
There were a lot of old gongs present, and they were well-informed. After identifying them, he replied: "That's a barge, look at the flag, it seems that it came from Yuzhou."
pontoons are large flat-bottomed ships, mostly used to carry goods.
Xu Qi'an said "Oh", his eyes flickered, and he continued to ask: "Are there any water bandits near Yuzhou?"
Song Tingfeng laughed "chily" and put his hand on Xu Qi'an's shoulder: "It's only half a day away from Yuzhou Queguan. Have you ever seen anyone who blocked the road and robbed the Yamen?"
"Then it's okay." Xu Qi'an nodded, as if confirming the tone of something.
"What's okay?"
"It's okay to make merits." He glanced at Song Tingfeng, saw that the two ships were about to pass by, and said quickly: "Tingfeng, go back to the cabin and find Jiang Jinluo immediately, saying that there is an emergency."
He then swept across the seven or eight gongs on the deck, and said in a deep voice: "There is a problem with that boat, you follow me."
After finishing speaking, he turned to the side barge and shouted: "Stop the boat!"
The voice rolled, echoing on the surface of the river.
The staff on the barge ignored it and pretended not to hear. Even a boatman quietly adjusted the angle of the sail, and the barge slanted away from the official ship where the crew was.
Now, the other gongs also noticed something was wrong. Before they could speak, they saw Xu Qi'an propping on the guardrail, the deck under his feet "clicked" and broke, and his whole figure shot out like a cannonball.
crossed a distance of tens of meters in an instant and landed on the deck of the barge safely.
"Crack..."
The sound of the deck breaking is endless, seven or eight gongs jumped up one after another, relying on their exaggerated jumping power and inflating machine, they also jumped onto the barge.
Seeing a group of gongs "invaded" the barge, the faces of several officers on the deck changed slightly, and they quietly pressed the hilt of the back waist.
"Several adults..." A beard rushed out of the cabin, wearing a clerk uniform, a high hat, and a pair of black boots.
He looked around the gongs on the deck, clasped his fists and said, "What's the point?"
Xu Qi'an did not speak, carefully observing their micro expressions and subtle movements, Zhu Guangxiao said solemnly:
"What kind of yamen are you?"
"The humble post is the head of the ferry of the Cao Yun Yamen, escorting a batch of iron ore into Beijing." The man with the cheeks replied. The messenger clothes they wore, printed with water waves, were the messenger clothes of the Cao Yun Yamen.
Yuzhou is rich in iron ore. Salt and iron belong to the lifeblood of the country. In layman's terms, it is a strategic resource and a major financial resource.
The gongs were not surprised by this, and turned to look at Xu Qi'an. I don't understand why he intercepted the ship suddenly.
Xu Qi'an squinted his eyes and noticed a detail. Up to now, the barge is still sailing and has not broken down.
"Guangxiao, let the boat stop." Xu Qi'an said solemnly.
Zhu Guangxiao immediately went to the stern, kicked the huge and heavy anchor into the water, and the barge slowly stood up.
When the taciturn colleague returned, Xu Qi'an asked, "Why didn't the ship stop just now?"
"This..." The bearded man with a face turned awkward, and said in a low voice: "Lord wait a minute."
He returned to the cabin, he folds a few silver bills, and concealed them, and smiled:
"The humble post knows that no matter where you are, as long as you see the adults who are in the office, you have to be respectful... Humble post is not sensible just now, and wants to be confused. The sin is worth death. Please forgive the adults."
Xu Qi'an glanced at them. They were all fifty-two denominations of silver notes, about three hundred taels in total.
Does he think we are blocking the ship to accept bribes? The players on the scene reacted, angry and funny.
Although it’s not too clean, it’s not so clean that the geese have plucked their hair. However, the reputation of Dagengren is indeed very bad. This is due to the fact that the civilian officials have poured dirty water day after day, shaping Dagengren into Wei Yuan’s eagle claws, doing evil deeds of cruelty to Zhongliang and bribery and betraying the law. .
The best thing for a scholar is to use a pen to punish the heart.
"Ning Yan..." Zhu Guangxiao frowned and cast his eyes on Xu Qi'an.
Including him, the Tonggongs did not believe that Xu Qi'an was intercepting the barge for silver. This guy who would cut the silver gong with a knife for an irrelevant woman would say otherwise, but his character is worthy of recognition.
Seeing that there was no one to pick up the bank note for a long time, the man with a beard sank in his heart. He didn't think there was any problem with his response, but it seemed that the people who called the police didn't buy it.
"Take me to the cabin." Xu Qi'an took a few steps forward and stared at the bearded man.
At this time, Xu Qi'an was standing in front of all the gongs, his right hand was inadvertently placed behind him, and he quickly made a gesture.
The gestures were hidden and subtle, but the gongs behind them quietly tightened their expressions.
Because this gesture is a professional sign language for making a change of people’s yamen, meaning: prepare to act.
"Take me to check it." Xu Qi'an asked.
"Okay, please." The bearded man agreed.
....It’s so happy to promise, right? Normally, there should not be a protest: the transportation of water will not be handled by the police.
Well, it could also be him... Xu Qi'an thought, leading his colleagues into the cabin along the beard, and down the narrow stairs to the bottom cabin.
The candles were lit one by one, and the bearded man led the watchmen and inspected the ore filled with cargo boxes.
A gong grabbed a handful of finely divided iron ore, and said, "They are all high-quality iron ore, which has been screened."
The bearded man smiled a few times, which was considered a response.
The gong quietly dropped the iron ore, pressed the scabbard against Xu Qi'an's waist, his eyes motioned.
Xu Qi'an said: "You continue to check."
He walked aside with the gong and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The gong lowered his voice: "The ore is ground too fine, and the quality is too good."
Xu Qi'an didn't understand: "This was shipped to the capital, what's the problem?"
Tongluo glanced at the people not far away, retracted his gaze, and said in a low voice: "I investigated a corruption case by the Ministry of Industry a few years ago, which was related to iron ore. The ore is calculated by weight, not quality. .
"In order to gain profit, officials will add gravel to the iron ore or impulse inferior iron ore. As long as they grasp a certain degree, there will be no problem."
...In other words, the quality of the iron ore here is so good...Xu Qi'an nodded.
After the inspection, there was no abnormality, everyone returned to the cabin, and Xu Qi'an asked again: "Bring your papers to me."
Luo Chihu obediently fetched the document issued by Cao Yun Yamen, and after confirming that it was correct, Xu Qi'an said, "Isn't there anything wrong on the way."
"How can it be, this has just left Yuzhou." said the man with cheeks.
He, then you explain the green light on your head...no, what does blood light mean?
Xu Qi'an was walking and observing the cabin, accompanied by a bearded man throughout the journey, answering every question, surprisingly good attitude.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the four men sat on Xiaomuzha and looked at Xu Qi'an and the others in silence.
There are many seasonal vegetables in the basket in the kitchen room, which looks quite fresh.
Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "Now when I see the leaves of vegetables, my eyes are glowing green. I ate the fish on the boat for many days, and it was fishy and awful."
He scanned the four guys and said, "Right."
A guy glanced at the bearded man, his eyes switched, his heart understood, and he showed a humble smile: "Yes, the fish in the river will inevitably have a smell of soil, adults are gold and expensive, and it is normal to be uncomfortable. Like us, we spend our lives on the water all year round. Yes, I've long been used to it."
"Oh, you don't know how to remove the fishy smell." Xu Qi'an smiled and nodded.
Ok? The four guys tasted something weird from Xu Qi'an's meaningful smile.
The same is true for the bearded man, tentatively said: "My lord..."
He didn't say a word, and the gong slapped his chin from the bottom up, bumped his gums, and blew out a broken tooth.
Immediately afterwards, the gong punched his chest two punches at a very fast speed, banging... the force penetrated his back, tearing his clothes apart.
The bearded man was beaten and flew out, hit the wall, and fell softly to the ground.
Suddenly Xu Qi'an stopped paying attention to him. He turned around and swept his legs and broke the ribs of one of the men. Then, with the force of the warrior, he beat the sternum of the remaining three men.
The whole process does not exceed five seconds.
Despite this, the fighting in the stove still attracted the attention of both outsiders.
Xu Qi'an shouted: "Take down everyone on the boat and stay alive."
The gongs, who had been reminded by the gestures, responded very quickly, and did not hesitate to shoot, knocking over a famous boatman or official.
For per capita fighters who practice aura~EbookFREE.me~ It is not much harder to subdue a group of officials with good skills than Xu Qi'an beat Xu Lingyin.
At this time, Xu Qi'an noticed a powerful air landing on the deck, and to protect the beard to escape by diving, he took him out of the cabin and came to the deck.
Jiang Luzhong frowned and looked at him silently.
Xu Qi'an turned his head and glanced at the direction of his official ship, and found that Governor Zhang was also alarmed, standing on the deck and looking over here with a solemn expression.
This barge is also an official ship and belongs to the Yuzhou government. Xu Qi'an's actions are no different from water bandits. If there is no definite reason, this matter is not easy to handle.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Luzhong cast an inquiring look, and glanced at the beard in Xu Qi'an's hand.
He recognized at a glance that it was Cao Yun Yamen's servant.
"There is a problem with this ship, but it is hard to say what it is," Xu Qi'an explained.
"This is the barge of Yuzhou Caoyun Yamen, and it is iron ore?" Jiang Luzhong asked.
"Ok."
Jiang Luzhong nodded, and said solemnly: "How did you find it has a problem."
...
