Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 368 Boarding and Inspection

"I know, dad, I'll take people there right now." Wang Rong said
"No, wait until the day they set off. By then they will be on the water, and even if they want to move temporarily, it will be impossible. Only in this way can everything be ensured." Wang Shanquan said

"Father is wise, I know, I will prepare now." Wang Rong bowed and said
"Okay, you just need to live in peace these days. My father will take you to handle this matter. Liu Xingzhi is not a good person. If you don't know the right balance, you can easily ruin the big thing." Wang Shanquan said

Wang Rong felt naturally uncomfortable after hearing this, but he did not dare to say anything. After his son left, Wang Shanquan began to hesitate again.

After all, what his son said just now is correct. The relationship between the Gu family and Liu Changfeng is indeed that they do not want to give money, but he is really unwilling to do so without checking.

But as long as it is checked, it will be fine if it is found out. If it is not found out, it will be offended in vain. Then Liu Xingzhi is not an ordinary Jiedushi, and he is no worse than himself.

Time passed very quickly, and it was five days later in the blink of an eye. This day was also the day when Liu Changfeng and the others set off to go back, because everyone was leaving together.

So there was nothing like saying goodbye. Everything was so peaceful. The fleet slowly set off. At this time, it was in a shop on both sides of the street.

The Gu family couple watched the situation at the dock on the second floor. They looked at each other after seeing the fleet leaving.

"Madam, they are finally gone, and we can finally feel relieved." Gu Langhua said

"Don't worry? It's still early, my husband, don't you think everything is going too smoothly? Wang Shanquan is too quiet, isn't he? This is not like his character." Jiang Judao
"Huh? Madam, you mean that Wang Shanquan plans to intercept and inspect on the river?" Gu Langhua said

"Yes, this is inevitable. After all, such a large amount of money has changed places. If it were me, Wang Shanquan, I wouldn't just watch him slip away." Jiang Judao
"Ah? Then wouldn't our hard work be in vain? When the time comes, this money will be saved?" Gu Langhua asked worriedly

"Husband, what happens to this money has nothing to do with us anymore. Do you really think that this money still belongs to us? From the day we decided to give it away, it is no longer ours."

"Do you really think that Liu Changfeng will pay back the money by then? Don't think too much. Even if Liu Changfeng wants to pay back the money by then, what about Liu Xingzhi?" Jiang Judao
"Ah? Madam, didn't we suffer a big loss this time?" Gu Langhua said in surprise

"Who said that? Who said we suffered a big loss? Even if we suffer a loss, it's not us who suffer a loss, it's Liu Changfeng who suffers a loss. After all, the money belongs to Liu Changfeng now."

"If he can't keep the money and is taken away by Wang Shanquan, we can't be blamed. Anyway, we got the favor. No matter what happens to the money in the end, he must recognize this favor."

"Unless he is really a person with no ambition. In that case, we can only consider ourselves unlucky, but husband, do you think he will be that kind of person?" Jiang Judao
"Well, Madam, you are right. We are indeed not at a loss. Okay, Madam, you see they have left, shouldn't we leave too?" Gu Langhua said

"Why are you anxious? There must be a lot of informants around here. If we go out at this time, wouldn't we tell them clearly that the money is on Liu Changfeng's boat?"

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it later. Besides, husband, don't you think it's interesting to look outside here?"

"The current situation at home is awkward even if we go back. Moreover, there are many doubts about the carrier pigeon. The black hand behind it has not been found yet, so the home is not as clean as here." Jiang Judao
"Well, Madam, that's what you said. Then let's just stay here and watch the show. Let Jiusi take care of the family. He has grown up and is old enough to fight."

"We should also let him know that this world is dangerous, so as not to be plotted against him when he enters the capital." Gu Langhua said.

While the couple was discussing, Liu Changfeng was standing on the bow of the ship, looking at the fleet appearing in the distance.

"Uncle Wang, didn't you send him off just now? Why are you here again?" Liu Changfeng shouted to the other side.

"My dear nephew, I received news that there are some items on your ship that are strictly prohibited by the imperial court. Therefore, I have to bring people over to board the ship for inspection." Wang Shanquan said

"Strictly prohibited items? Uncle Wang, where did you start talking about this? You should know exactly what I did in Yangzhou this time?"

"You should also know what I bought. What do you mean now?" Liu Changfeng said

"My dear nephew, didn't I say it? It's just a routine matter. If there are only goods from the Gu family up there, I will take them back immediately." Wang Shanquan said

"Uncle, you don't know what I bought at Gu's house, do you? Do you think it's really appropriate to have someone check it out like this?" Liu Changfeng said in a deep voice.

"My nephew, since the Gu family can sell these things, I'm naturally not afraid of others finding out, so I think it's very suitable. What do you think, my nephew?" Wang Shanquan said with a smile.

"Uncle Wang, you are making things very difficult for my nephew. This trip to Yangzhou was personally handled by my father. If something goes wrong, it will be hard for me to explain to my father." Liu Changfeng said.

"My dear nephew, it doesn't matter. If there is really nothing on the boat, Brother Liu, I will tell you. My dear nephew, I think Brother Liu will give me this face, so don't worry." Wang Shanquan said.

"Haha, Uncle Wang, since you have said so much, what else can I say? Of course it is possible to check, but if nothing is found, everyone who boarded the ship will die. Uncle Wang, please don’t blame me for being cruel." Liu Changfeng said with a smile.

"Huh? Nephew, what do you mean by this? Did you let me guess it right?" Wang Shanquan said

"Uncle Wang, there are some things that you and I know very well, and it's pointless to say them out. In short, you can come up for inspection, but you can't take away the specific amount."

"What if you agree? Then you can order a search. Of course, you don't have to agree. After all, this is your territory. It's naturally impossible for my nephew to stop you."

"But, when the time comes, we will have to step over my nephew's body first. For me, a bastard, to be able to gain my father's trust and get to where I am today is because of my courage." Liu Changfeng said.

"My dear nephew, are you threatening me? Even if I kill you today, your father may not be able to avenge you!" Wang Shanquan said coldly.

"Of course I know this, but Uncle Wang, are you sure you want to offend my father for your men? It seems like the gain outweighs the loss, right?"

"Of course, it may be that my nephew has misunderstood. Maybe it's because Uncle Wang loves soldiers as much as he loves his son. I am trying to treat a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Liu Changfeng said with a smile.

After hearing this, Wang Shanquan immediately hesitated. Of course, he would not offend Liu Xingzhi just because of a few soldiers. After all, it was a loss-making business.

But now the trouble lies here. Now that these words are spoken with great fanfare, everyone knows that as long as they get on the opposite ship, they will definitely die.

No matter who he sends over at this time, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers behind him. You must know that what he brought today are all his direct descendants. "Rong'er, take your entourage up and give me a good inspection to see if there is anything we are looking for." Wang Shanquan said

"Ah? What did you say, father? Did you ask your son to lead people up? This, this, this, me, father?" Wang Rong was dumbfounded after hearing this. He never imagined that such a fatal thing would happen to him.

"Humph, what? Don't you want to? If you don't want to, then you can say it now. My father is not the kind of person who likes to force others." Wang Shanquan said

"No, father, I am willing to go, I am willing to go, I will go right now." Wang Rong said quickly when he saw this
He knew his father's character very well. The gentler he spoke, the angrier he felt, so if he didn't go, there would definitely be no good ending.

In that case, it's better to just give it a try. If you can survive, you will make a lot of money.

"My dear nephew, I asked my son to board the ship for inspection. How about this?" Wang Shanquan asked.

"Uncle, you are really amazing. I have nothing to say, but I will tell you the ugly things ahead. If nothing is found out, my brother will not be able to go back." Liu Changfeng said.

"This is natural. Since I promised you, I will never go back on it." Wang Shanquan said

After discussing the terms, Wang Rong took six people to Liu Changfeng's boat through the boat.

"Brother Wang, since you're up here, there's nothing more to say. You can check it at will. The same goes for other ships. You have plenty of time. Check it slowly and carefully." Liu Changfeng said

After hearing this, Wang Rong bowed, and then under the leadership of Liu Quan, he slowly checked. Liu Changfeng did not stay at the bow of the ship, but returned to the cabin.

Naturally, the same was true for Wang Shanquan. Both parties seemed to be relaxed at this time, but Wang Rong was the only one who was very nervous.

"Husband, are you here? Are you okay?" Yun'er asked.
"Don't worry, madam, it's not a big deal. I have already thought of what happened today. At this time, when a fleet as big as ours leaves Yangzhou, Wang Shanquan will definitely be investigated."

"But he wants to investigate. I can't let him investigate directly. My Liu family also wants to save face, so naturally it took some time. It doesn't matter. Let him investigate slowly." Liu Changfeng said with a smile.

After Yun'er heard this, she felt relieved, but Liu Yuru on the side was not so easy to deceive. She vaguely guessed something, but she didn't say a word.

Time passed slowly, and Wang Rong had already completed half of the inspection. However, apart from the food and baggage, there was no large amount of money on the ship, including weapons and armor.

The longer the time went on, the more panicked Wang Rong felt, because he had said well before that if he couldn't find it, he would be dead.

So he worked harder and harder, but the method was wrong and he was destined to have no results. After he checked all the ships, he collapsed directly on the ground.

When Liu Changfeng saw him again, he was already soaked to the skin. This was not because he fell into the water, but because of his own sweat.

At this time, Wang Shanquan looked unhappy because he felt that his son had lost face to him.

"Uncle, I think you have also seen that there are no prohibited items on my ship, so as we agreed before, I will keep Brother Shi and the others alive." Liu Changfeng said loudly.

After speaking, Liu Changfeng waved his hand directly, and the guards who had been prepared raised their swords and dropped the seven heads. Wang Shanquan watched this scene without changing his expression.

But his heart was fluctuating violently, which could be seen from his slightly trembling hands.

"Uncle, don't worry. I'll have this body delivered to you, or you can have someone come and pick it up. Don't worry, there's no need to bet this time." Liu Changfeng said with a smile.

"Haha, if that's the case, then I have to thank my nephew." Wang Shanquan said with a smile.

The body was taken away by Wang Shanquan's people, and Wang Shanquan also left. Liu Changfeng stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the ship going away. He knew very well that he would never come to Yangzhou again, and then he returned to the cabin.

Time soon came to the next day. What happened yesterday spread quickly, and the city of Yangzhou was shocked for a while. After all, he was the son of Jiedushi.

He died like that, and the Jiedushi didn't say anything? This is a strange news.
However, they only dared to discuss it in private, and did not dare to say a word openly.

But who is the most shocked among these people, it must be the Gu family and his wife, because they know the inside story and they personally arranged for people to send the money to the ship.

Wang Shanquan brought so many people there, how could he not find out? Not only was nothing found, but a son was also involved, which is simply unbelievable.

However, they were not surprised for long, because they encountered trouble again, that is, the messenger from the imperial court arrived, along with helpers sent by King Liang.

Because no news had been sent back from the previous envoys of King Liang, King Liang was a little suspicious, so he sent another group of people to follow the court team.

Gu Langhua and his wife naturally rushed to greet them in front of the mansion, and Gu Jiusi was naturally there as well.

After the decree granting the marriage was read out, the tension between them suddenly disappeared like spring breeze and rain.

After all, the matter is now a foregone conclusion. Even if the Gu family has another way, it will not help, and this means that their mission is completed, so they are naturally very happy.

But they were happy, but some people were unhappy, like Luo Zishang at this time.

"It's unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable! How come this damn Gu family is so lucky? It's only one step away from destroying their family."

"Obviously everything is almost done, but the result is that there is still one move missing. No matter that there is still a lot of time, I don't believe that he can continue to be so lucky!" Luo Zishang said solemnly.

As the initiator of this turmoil, Liu Changfeng came to the bottom of the cabin and saw Liu Quan who was busy.

"How's it going? Did you get all the money?" Liu Changfeng asked
"Master, please rest assured. All the silver that sank to the bottom has been fished out, but now there is some problem with the load of the ship, so don't you think so?" Liu Quan bowed and said.
