Datang Nongwang

Chapter 661 Xiang Jiu Was Arrested

Xiao Fei, who looks meek and docile on weekdays, actually has a ruthless streak in his bones.

he used to be.

Because there was no food to eat, I was so hungry that I competed with dogs for food.

It was not easy to get help from a distant relative of myself, which saved me from the situation of competing with the dog for food.

in those days.

When Xiao Fei was fighting with the dog for food, he once wanted to become a bandit.

even.

When he was so hungry that he couldn't help it, he once did theft.

What's more, he was robbed.

right now.

As long as you are caught stealing or robbing, you are either in prison or on your way to hard labor.

Theft and robbery are very serious crimes.

now.

However, being treated like this by a wealthy person suddenly aroused Xiao Fei's ruthlessness, and the hatred in his eyes was growing endlessly at this moment.

As for whether to let go of the middle-aged and wealthy person, it depends on his ability.

but.

When a person has a heart and a plan.

Even if you are a noble or wealthy person, you will still become the prey of that person.

after all.

Not everyone is on guard all the time.

Even the emperor is not always on guard against someone, there are always times when he is careless.

Just think back then.

Under the heavy protection, Qin Shihuang was almost killed by Jing Ke.

Therefore, nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart.

And this caring person was struggling to climb to the shore at this time, enduring the great pain in his body and the cold lake water.

Finally, Xiao Fei climbed ashore, and after taking a few breaths, he quickly burrowed into the woods and disappeared.

on the Yangtze River.

Xiang Jiu and the others, who were blocked on the Yangtze River waterway, have been waiting quietly.

But the eyes are those who are not far away.

The boss of the boat was always curious, "Master Xiang, are they looking for someone or what are they doing? They dare to block up the Yangtze River waterway with so many boats, aren't they afraid of the government?"

"A person with such ability will never be afraid of any government. Moreover, I believe that if they dare to block the waterway, they must have already greeted the government, otherwise, the government must have already taken action. Judging from this situation, These people must be looking for someone." For those people who dared to make such a big move in broad daylight, the person behind them must be a big shot.

As for the size of the person behind this, Xiang Jiu couldn't guess.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, the person behind it is either a local big clan or an official.

The people in the government did not see it.

Seeing these people, Xiang Jiu had no choice but to be suspicious.

After hearing Xiang Jiu's words, the boss of the boat felt a little nervous, "Master Xiang, these people dare to block the waterway so blatantly in search of people, it seems that something must have happened. If we keep being stuck here, we may not be able to reach Xisha today." The island is gone. Moreover, we have no food, if this continues, we will be hungry."

"Don't worry. They don't dare to block for too long, and they will probably let them through after a few hours at most. However, you are right. We may not be able to reach Xisha Island today. I will take people with me later. Go ashore to buy some food, don't make everyone hungry because of others." Xiang Jiu didn't think so.

Blocking a waterway for an hour is already considered a major event. If it is blocked for a day, the government probably would not dare to do it.

Eating is great.

If it is really blocked for a long time, and there is no dry food on board, everyone will be hungry for a day and a night if this continues.

far away.

Those people are still checking from one ship to another.

Those people didn't ask too many questions, they only asked where each ship was going and what was on board.

If it is transporting timber, it will be focused on.

Another half an hour later.

The waterway is still blocked.

This made Xiang Jiu doubt his opinion.

Xiang Jiu had no choice but to ask the boat boss to send him to other boats and start crossing the boat one by one.

And when the movement of the fleet was underway, those people in the distance looked at Xiang Jiu and others who were coming across after seeing the movement of the fleet.

"Go and tell the owner, the man has been found." On the shore, a scholar-like man, seeing Empress Xiang Jiu who was crossing by boat and preparing to go ashore, immediately ordered to the people around him.

When the people below heard this, they all looked in the direction the man was pointing at, and ran straight away without saying a word.

Shortly after.

When the wealthy middle-aged man was on the big boats on the Canal River, after receiving the report from below, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I finally found it. It seems that today is a good day for me."

"Dalang, will the waterway continue to be blocked? If it continues to be blocked like this, the Yangzhou government and the Runzhou governor's government may have objections." Beside the wealthy middle-aged man, a man in charge said carefully.

The middle-aged man looked at the steward beside him and said, "What's your opinion! We have given so much money, why should we act according to their faces? If they have any objections, let them come to me and talk about it. I agree As long as the family wants to be blocked, it will be blocked for as long as possible. If anyone has an opinion, their official position may not want to be done!"

Qi family?

Yes, it is the Qi family.

Moreover, this middle-aged man is the eldest son of the Qi family, Qi Feng.

At that time, Qi Feng rushed to Chang'an with his third brother, and was about to ask his second uncle for the design of the paddle steamer.

Unexpectedly, the design of the paddle steamer has already entered the prison.

Qi Feng used a lot of contacts in Chang'an, and managed a lot of people, but he still hasn't got the design of the paddle steamer that has been in prison.

He really had no choice but to inquire about Li Chongyuan's situation everywhere.

They sent people to Xixiang again, and learned that Li Chongyuan had built a shipyard in Xixiang, and built a small island at the estuary of the Yangtze River to build a large shipyard.

This is not.

Without saying a word, Qi Feng led his people to the Yangtze River.

Recently, Qi Feng has been staring at Li Chongyuan's Xisha Island a lot.

But there was really no chance to go up, and it was impossible to steal Li Chongyuan's blueprint. In the end, he had to block the waterway here, and the people who were going to arrest Li Chongyuan came to question him.

The Qi family will not be afraid of any local government.

Even if the government has objections, most of the ships on this canal will give him Qi family a face.

After all, the Qi family is engaged in shipbuilding, and these ship bosses on the canal will seek the Qi family no matter what.

Such as buying a ship, such as repairing a ship, etc.

Although the Qi family is not yet capable of occupying the canal, these ship bosses more or less want to give the Qi family face.

No, as soon as Qi Feng spoke, the boss of the boat that made a living on the canal or on the Yangtze River immediately drove the boat over and blocked the waterway of the Yangtze River.

So, this is how this scene came about.

"Dalang, after all, if we do this, it will arouse public anger. We can deal with the government, but if the public anger rises and the news reaches Chang'an, we will not be able to get rid of it." The steward continued.

As soon as the steward's words fell to the ground, Qi Feng frowned, "After the person is caught, let everyone disperse, and tell them that my Qi family owes them a favor."

After the steward heard the words, he felt more at ease.

Several large ships started to move towards the shore in the north.

When the big ship docked at the north bank, Qi Feng walked out from the cabin and came to the deck, quietly waiting for the person he wanted to come over.

And this time.

After finally crossing to the shore with the help of one boat after another, Xiang Jiu and the others smiled at the boatmen, and then led a few of them towards Dantu County.

Xiang Jiu needed to buy dry food, even if it was to buy some ordinary food, it had to be considered for the boatmen.

This waterway has been blocked for several hours. If the blockage continues like this, everyone will be hungry. Maybe the boatmen will have a problem.

"Xiang Jiu, look." A guard touched Xiang Jiu lightly.

Xiang Jiuyiyan looked at the group of men not far away.

Xiang Jiu didn't care about these people either.

I rarely offend anyone on my side, and even if I offend, it is only in Xixiang, and it is absolutely impossible in the Yangzhou area.

What's more, the boats on our own side are all loaded with wood.

Basically no one has the idea of ​​playing wood.

After all, wood is heavy and heavy, and even if someone had an idea for it, he must either be an idiot or really need it.

But as far as Xiang Jiu knew, at least he had never heard of anyone who thought about timber.

Therefore, Xiang Jiu really didn't care about the group of strangers not far away, and waved to the guards behind him, "Don't worry about them, let's just focus on our business. Buy more dry food later, don't worry about it because of them." Blocked the waterway and made the boatmen hungry."

The guard is not talking.

Xiang Jiu is their leader.

Although everyone's surname is Xiang, the relationship between Xiang Jiu and the old lady is closer.

Xiang Jiu took several guards onto the trail and headed towards Dantu County.

But when Xiang Jiu and the others headed towards Dantu County, the group of strangers were staring at Xiang Jiu and the others. Even when Xiang Jiu was walking forward, the Confucian-like man suddenly turned towards him The man waved his hand and said softly: "Follow up, find a place where no one is around and tie up these people. Remember, don't hurt the one who is carrying, he is the one the boss wants."

"Yes." After hearing the words, all the subordinates went directly to Xiang Jiu and the others.

When passing through a forest.

Seeing that there was no one around, this group of people rushed towards the ninth class with all their might.

The sound of the group of people rushing from behind immediately alerted Xiang Jiu and the others. They all stopped and stood aside, staring at the group of people.

When this group of people rushed to the front and back of Xiang Jiu and the others, they immediately surrounded Xiang Jiu and the others.

When Xiang Jiu saw this, he was a little confused at first, but then he felt that the matter was not simple, "Who are you! Why did you surround me and wait!"

"Who are we? Hahahaha, of course we are the ones who want to arrest you. If you are honest, come with us. If you are not honest, then I will be sorry." The Confucian scholar came to him and looked Xiang Jiu and the others laughed loudly.

Just count to nine and them, but there are hundreds of people on our side.

He just wanted to catch a few people, if he couldn't catch hundreds of people, then he would have to throw himself into the river.

When Xiang Jiu and the others heard what the man said, their eyes narrowed immediately, they touched their waists, and found that they didn't have a knife with them, "Why are you arresting me? I haven't offended you, and I haven't had any grudges against you." If you are short of money, I still have some money here, you just take it away."

Fighting is impossible.

There were only seven of Xiangjiu and the others.

None of the seven people had any knives with them, if they wanted to deal with these hundred or so people, it would be like moths flying into the flames and seeking their own death.

If you have a matching knife in hand, maybe you can still fight.

Therefore, Xiang Jiu could only throw his purse at Confucian scholars.

However, the Confucian scholar looked at the purse on the ground and didn't care at all.

"Huh! Go or not, I will give you a choice of ten breaths. If you don't follow us when the ten breaths arrive, then we will be violent." Confucian scholar continued.

Xiang Jiu and others were a little nervous.

There is no one around, and if you want to call for help, no one may be able to hear you.

As for why the other party wanted to arrest him and others, Xiang Jiu couldn't figure it out, nor could he.

It is impossible to follow this group of people.

How to put it, whether Xiang Jiu or the soldiers of the Xiang family beside him, they will not be captured without a fight.

Just as Xiang Jiu was thinking about how to escape, the ten-breath time had passed.

When the ten breath time passed, the Confucian scholar yelled coldly, "Come on, catch them for me to see my boss."

Following the Confucian scholar's speech.

moment.

Hundreds of people jumped on it.

With so many people rushing forward, Xiang Jiu and others will definitely not wait to die, but have to resist with bare hands
But two fists were no match for four hands. In a moment, Xiang Jiu and others suffered pain and were knocked down to the ground. After being tied up by these people, they gagged their mouths and carried them away.

When the group of people carried them away to the ninth class.

From the depths of the woods, a figure suddenly emerged, and said softly, "These people are here to ask the steward? Xiang is so good to the steward, why do they want to catch the steward?"

This person is none other than Xiao Fei who escaped from the lake.

After Xiaofei left the south bank, he spent a lot of effort before reaching the north bank again.

He was planning to return to the ship and report to Boss what had happened to him.

Unexpectedly.

When he came to this forest, he happened to meet this scene.

Suspicious, he endured the great pain in his body and followed behind this group of people.

Shortly after.

When this group of people carried Xiang Jiu and others to the big boat docked on the shore, the big boat left.

Xiao Fei watched the big ship leave, and after looking at the direction the big ship was leaving, he quickly walked to the shore and went to his own ship.

After getting on the boat, Xiaofei saw that the big boat had arrived in the middle of the lake, and his small boat was loaded with a lot of wood. If he wanted to catch up with those big boats, he had to throw all the wood into the lake. .

Without further ado, Xiao Fei found a knife on the boat and cut it on the slip rope, and all the wood loaded on the boat rolled into the lake.

Without the shackles of wood, Xiao Fei can control the speed of his boat, and will be able to catch up with the big boats ahead.

And this time.

On the waterway of the Yangtze River, the ships blocked ahead began to leave in an orderly manner.

The waterway, which had been blocked for several hours, was unblocked at this moment.
