Nongmen Space: I pampered the first assistant villain

Chapter 276 Blackmail?

The noise here was so loud that it quickly alarmed everyone.

Naturally, Luo Wenjing and others were among them.

"Hey, bearded man, blind your dog eyes, what kind of ship is this?"

Luo Wenjing stood at the bow of the boat and yelled at the transporting army of the tank boat, "You dare to blackmail the boat that goes to Beijing to catch up with the students? Do you think your life is too long?"

After finishing speaking, he directly took out the flag issued by the Ministry of Rites, "Look at it, [Go to Beijing by order]. Do you know what it is to prevent Juzi from entering Beijing for the exam? The crime of beheading."

I have to say that Daqian Dynasty really treats scholars very preferentially.

Not only can you be exempted from corvee and taxes if you get the honor in the exam, you can use servants, and the court will give you money and food. What if you go to Beijing to catch up with the exam?
Not only that, but holding a small flag issued by the Ministry of Rites, no matter which checkpoint you go to, you will hardly check it.

Even robbers dare not come to rob.

The first is because these candidates are very likely to become officials in the future. Once they become officials, they will not be able to bear revenge. One is the protection of scholars by the imperial court.

After all, it is really difficult for a son to travel long distances to Beijing. Naturally, there are a lot of entanglements and items on his body, which can easily attract others' prying eyes.

If the imperial court didn't care about any accidents that happened on the way to Beijing for the exam, who would dare to go to Beijing to catch the exam in the future?

Therefore, the imperial court attached great importance to this matter.

This has become a tradition in the Daqian Dynasty. Everyone knows it well, but they didn't expect that they would encounter Cao Chuan Pengci today.

Obviously, beyond everyone's expectations.

"So what if you go to Beijing according to the order? I'm still transporting grain according to the order. Anyway, if you hit my boat, you have to be responsible for repairing it. Otherwise, if there is a problem with the grain of this boat, it will be your responsibility."

The transporter on the tank boat was full of arrogance and fierce eyes.

The two sides were deadlocked.

"This is too arrogant, so no one cares about it?"

Xia Xiaoqiao frowned fiercely, while the boatman beside him sighed, "Manage it? How should we manage it? It's public rations. Who will take care of it? We're making a living on the Cao River. If we can avoid it, we can avoid it. I can admit it."

"It's not a problem to spend with them, they are cruel people."

"If you annoy them and do something to us in the water, it will be more harm than good."

Obviously, this tank boat is a master on the water!

And just as Xia Xiaoqiao was thinking about the countermeasures, Lu Jingyuan who was at the side suddenly spoke.

"Dare to ask this chief armor, how is the injury on the hull?"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at him, and Luo Wenjing said a little displeased, "Brother Lu, what do you mean?"

"Brother Luo, be safe and don't be impatient."

Lu Jingyuan stretched out his hand to salute, and then said seriously: "It is inevitable for a boat to run on the water, bumps and collisions are inevitable, rather than arguing about right or wrong here, it is better to listen to a certain word, and check the damage of the hull as soon as possible. , Grain is the tax and grain of our dynasty, and it is related to the burden of the people's livelihood, how can you be careless?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others were stunned.

I don't understand what he means by this?
"Lu Jingyuan, it was obviously the boat that blackmailed people first, I saw it with my own eyes—"

Luo Wenjing was a little out of breath at the moment, while Tan Min on the side quickly stopped him, and said in a low voice, "Brother Luo? Be safe and don't be impatient. You don't know what kind of temperament Brother Lu is? He must have a reason for doing this."

"Yeah, besides, the tank boat is not easy to mess with. Brother Lu is here, so please say a few words first."

"you?"

Luo Wenjing was half-dead by Wei Qing's anger, what do you mean he has to say less when Lu Jingyuan is around?

"Why?"

"Just because you are my Ayuan's younger brother!"

Xia Xiaoqiao gave him a cool look, "Did you forget what you promised?"

"you?"

"Huh? Have an opinion?"

Seeing this, Tan Min hurriedly hugged Luo Wenjing, and smiled apologetically, "No, no, how dare you have any opinions, hehe, Miss Xia, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

"Learn from Xiao Tan."

After Xia Xiaoqiao cast him a speechless glance, she turned her head and said: "Yingxi, hurry up and call the masters on the boat, and they must check carefully, not only those on our boat, but also borrow some people from other boats, be sure to get those The situation of the tank boat has been clarified."

"Yes--"

After Xia Xiaoqiao gave such instructions, the others fell silent.

I finally realized that this matter is not simple.

Apparently, the transporting troops on the tank boat didn't expect that either, but before he could figure out a countermeasure, he saw the sailors jump into the river one by one with a plop, and they still jumped from the boats.

Seeing this, his face immediately sank.

After a while, the sailors finished checking.

The water boat is a boat built by the imperial court with a lot of money. It is made of excellent materials, but it will not cause any damage if it hits the boat. On a red seal.

He also asked Zhang Yuan to bring a sentence.

The man's face changed slightly after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he clasped his fists to Lu Jingyuan and saluted Lu Jingyuan on the bow of the boat: "Since the hull of the boat is fine, for Lu Jieyuan's sake, let's forget about today's affairs, Shan Gao The water is long, there will be a period later, let's go—”

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the fleet quickly disappeared in the bend of the river.

Seeing that the tank boats running across the water were dismissed by Lu Jingyuan with one word, they were very curious and admired.

Only Luo Wenjing looked displeased, "Don't think I don't know that you gave them money, Lu Jingyuan? I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be so afraid of things. You would spend money to buy roads, and you would do the same." come out?"

He was really pissed off.

"Hey, Brother Luo Xian, please don't say a few words."

"Stop talking, talk less? Look at your head, what kind of bump has it been? Let him go like this, it's really cheap for him."

Luo Wenjing gritted his teeth angrily, while Lu Jingyuan looked up at him now.

"So what if you don't let go?"

"Do you want to go to the government?"

"They are people on the water transport, and they are under the jurisdiction of the governor of the water transport."

Luo Wenjing stiffened his neck when he heard the words, and said, "That can't blackmail people."

"Extortion?"

Lu Jingyuan glanced at him lightly, "I'm not even afraid of beheading, are you afraid of blackmailing people?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Luo Wenjing was stunned after hearing this, and the others didn't understand why.

Xia Xiaoqiao pondered for a moment and said: "Tank boats like them have the task of transporting grain, each of which is no less than four hundred loads, and the heavier the load, the deeper the hull will sink into the water, but I sent them to check the damage to their hulls. According to the report of the boatman, judging by the depth of its entry into the water, it is impossible to have [-] tans of grain on board."

Everyone was shocked after hearing this, "How could this be?"

"Otherwise, why would they risk beheading to touch porcelain?"

Lu Jingyuan cast a glance at everyone, and then sighed softly: "When I was studying in my early years, I was lucky enough to meet a brother on a tank boat, and I knew a lot about the hardships of the road. If it wasn't for being desperate, how could it be like this?"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

That's right, even bandits don't dare to rob those students who are going to Beijing to rush for the exam, let alone serious water transporters?

Could it be that you want them to take the blame?
The food on the tank boat is not enough, so the officials have to make up for it. They are all from hereditary military households, and they earn hard money. What if they can't make up for it?
That is to be exiled by the imperial court and assigned to the frontier.

If you don't want to go, there is another way to survive, and that is to abandon the ship and flee.

Or find a scapegoat.

Everyone finally realized at this moment.

No wonder Lu Jingyuan asked the boatman to check the injury of the other party's boat in front of so many people?

This is clearly clearing the relationship!

In case something happens to the ship, it will save them from being involved.

Otherwise, even if they win, what if they drive people away?

Once something happens to the tank boat, even if they have eight mouths, they can't tell clearly!
