What happened in Chang'an City was deliberately concealed. Li Dalang and others got some news at the inn while they were still on the road half a month later.

"Boss, what should we do? Do you still want to follow?"

Li Dalang lit the message left by the bad guy with a candle. After it was completely burned, he said to Wang Dadan, Gao Haiping and the dozen or so brothers left in the room: "The message only said that the Gao family was raped." He was imprisoned on the charge of treason, but there was no mention of which other family was involved in the Gao family's rebellion.

If the Shen family hadn't had the Gao family's handle, the Gao family wouldn't have confessed to the Shen family;

Otherwise, the Shen family has already left a way out for them, and they are not afraid.

There is no news from above and the mission has not been cancelled, so we will continue to follow.

Let’s wait and see again when we get to Jiangnan and let’s talk about it then. "

Li Dalang made the right decision, and everyone convinced him. After assigning everyone their respective tasks, Li Dalang still told the three people who were out watching: "Be careful, your own life is important, what do you see?" Write it down first.”

Li Dalang had been following the Shen family's caravan these days, but he didn't notice that Shen Fangming looked a little bit scared. Everything was as normal as if the Shen family hadn't received the news that the Gao family's entire family had been imprisoned.

"Weird, weird."

No matter how strange it felt in my heart, the task of their team was just to follow and follow up, and to communicate with bad people at any time and pass on information.

Therefore, when Li Dalang did not receive other tasks from his superiors, he still tried his best to do the task at hand.

As we got closer and closer to Jiangnan, the water vapor became more and more abundant. When Li Dalang got up early in the morning, he felt the humidity in the air and felt really uncomfortable.

I had lived in Chang'an for more than ten years and was accustomed to the climate there. Then I went to the border and stayed in Shule for nearly a year. My body had not adapted to the dry climate, so I came to the watery Jiangnan again.

Li Dalang looked at the mist on the distant mountain peaks and felt that it was indeed like water and soil.

"Boss, the boatman told us to go early. We'll have to wait at the dock."

Yes, after entering the Jiangnan East Road, waterways extend in all directions, and the Shen family caravan is preparing to transfer to the waterway and go down the river.

Fortunately, there are still two other merchants who have been following the Shen family's caravan and plan to take the water route. Otherwise, it would be a bit awkward for Li Dalang and his group to continue to follow.

He drove the car to the dock smoothly and loaded boxes of goods onto the ship. After Li Dalang paid for the laborers, he sat on the bow and chatted with the boatman.

First, they chatted about daily life, and then Li Dalang seemed to accidentally ask about the Shen family on the big boat in front: "I see it's not just our boat that is going to follow the Shen family?

The Shen family won't allow us to follow, right?
Will they evict people? "

After the boatman threw the rope in his hand to his Dalang, he sat down next to Li Dalang. Li Dalang handed over a water bag from his waist. The boatman waved his hand, and Li Dalang insisted on passing it over, saying: "It's just a water bag." For some thin wine, I had to rely on the boatman along the way.

This is the first time for our team to take this waterway, so we hope that the boatman will take more care of us. "

Li Dalang's words came to this point, and the boatman couldn't refuse anymore, so he accepted the wine in the water bag.

Opening the stopper of the water bag, the boatman lowered his head and sniffed, then smiled happily: "It's Zhou Ji's pear blossom white. Hehe, I have accepted the favor of my employer."

The boatman was a stickler for the rules, so he just sniffed it twice before plugging it in. Seeing Li Dalang's confusion, the boatman smiled and explained: "It's estimated that we will be able to pass in half an hour, so we can't miss anything by drinking.

The good wine provided by the host has been taken care of for a while, and the little old man can have a good taste. "

After receiving the good wine from Li Dalang, Li Dalang always complimented the boatman when he spoke, so the boatman started talking to Li Dalang. "Don't worry, boss, the Shen family will definitely not chase away the retail investors like us who are following behind.

When sailing on the water, it is naturally best to have a large number of people. After all, these are serious business people.

If something happens, we can take care of each other.

And by following the fleet of such a large merchant, we can also get some cheap ones, which is good for both parties. "

Li Dalang chatted with the boatman for a while, and then he smoothly arranged his boat in order and then sailed out of the dock and went down the river.

After staying on the water for two days and three nights, the boat finally arrived at a larger pier called Shiliu Bay in the middle of the third day.

"My boss, the front is Shiliu Bay. Let's take a look, boss, should we follow the Shen family's merchant ship ahead or continue down?"

Li Dalang naturally said that he would stop with the Shen family.

And this Sixteenth Bay is also the contact point that the superiors told Li Dalang earlier, so Li Dalang naturally wanted to stop here.

In the name of selling goods ashore, Li Dalang left half of the people on the ship and took the other half ashore.

"Don't worry, boss. The young man and his boys will definitely guard the ship together with the boss's men.

Furthermore, these sixteen bays are safe with the Du Family Army present. "

After exchanging hands with the boatman, Li Dalang went to find the address he had agreed upon.

Of course, the manpower brought out on the road were also assigned tasks by Li Dalang. When it was time to keep track of the Shen family caravan, Li Dalang only took Wang Dadan to the contact point.

I found a grain store on Bishui Street and went in. After saying a code word to the receptionist, I was led into the backyard.

After handing over the recently acquired information, the old man with gray hair sitting opposite Li Dalang gave Li Dalang an envelope with a wax seal on it.

"It contains the new mission given to you by the superiors. You can read it after you return to the ship."

After that, the old man served tea to see off the guests.

Li Dalang was also unambiguous. He glanced at the wax seal and put it on his chest. Then he cupped his hands in front of the old man and left the grain shop with Wang Daring.

After the two left the grain store, they went to buy some local specialty goods before hiring a car and waiting at the street corner to follow the brothers and returned to Shiliu Bay together.

The boatman and his two sons helped Li Dalang and the others carry the newly purchased goods onto the boat. Li Dalang knew how to be a good man, and signaled Wang Bingdao to hand over an oil paper bag: "I smelled this roast chicken on the street. It smells so good that I will have to rely on the boatman for the rest of my life.”

“Hey, it’s Yu Ji’s roast chicken, thank you so much, boss.

Don't worry, boss, I will row this boat well. "

After entering the small room in the cabin, Gao Haiping and Wang Dadan stood around for a while before settling at the door. Li Dalang inside took out the letter in his arms and tore open the wax seal. There was only one page inside. Paper.

After reading the content on the paper, Li Dalang's face immediately became solemn. He raised his hand and poured the water from the teacup onto the page. He watched the ink on it fade away and couldn't tell what was written at all. , then reached out and crumpled the tea-stained paper into a ball and threw it into the river. (End of chapter)
