Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Chapter 43: Taihu Water Village

In fact, it is not necessary to meet the village owner. He can ask his brother-in-law two or two, and he will naturally get a definite answer, but what Xu Zizhen considers is that the waters of Taihu Lake are vast, and it is close to the three prefectures of Huzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou. You have to have a good relationship with both black and white. If you don't become a policeman and concentrate on doing business in the future, then it will be of great benefit to have a good relationship with this Taihu Water Village.

Furthermore, a year later, the Kingdom of Jin invaded, the Huiqin sects were taken into captivity, and the Southern Song Dynasty officially began. The treacherous ministers in the court were in power, and Qin Hui held power for decades. A good general like Yue Fei who devoted himself to serving the country could not escape death. How about Wen Chengyan? I'm afraid he won't be an official for a long time, so naturally he won't be able to continue his job as a small police officer. One has to leave more escape routes for himself.

The next day Xu Zizhen got up early and rushed to the Taihu Lake. He Liangliang had already been waiting there. Not long after, a small boat slowly rolled out from the reeds. There was only one man dressed as a fisherman on board. With a dark complexion and a strong figure, he looks like an honest villager.

"Brother-in-law." He Liangliang called obediently.

The fisherman nodded, glanced at Xu Zizhen, and said calmly, "Come up."

Xu Zizhen didn't say much, and jumped into the boat. Just as He Liangliang was about to follow, the fisherman waved his hand: "Don't go, just stay."

"Ah?" He Liangliang suddenly panicked, and said anxiously, "Brother-in-law, I... I'll go and have a look."

His brother-in-law glanced at him and said nothing, but Xu Zizhen didn't care, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back, they won't leave this lake full of fish and shrimp to eat me."

He Liangliang was not at ease, and took care again in a low voice: "Brother, don't talk nonsense when you are inside."

Xu Zizhen didn't take it seriously: "Okay, you can go back."

The boat sailed unhurriedly into the depths of Taihu Lake, and after an unknown period of time, it detoured into a reed marsh. It was the first time Xu Zizhen saw this kind of beautiful scenery, and he could not help but look at it curiously. Surrounded by admiration from time to time.

He Liangliang's brother-in-law didn't know what it was when he saw his nonchalant attitude. The Taihu water village was well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't know if he really had the courage and courage, or he didn't know the power of the water village at all.

After some time, the boat detoured into a narrow waterway, and after turning around seven times, a wide water surface appeared in front of Xu Zizhen, and a small island in the distance was surrounded by thick wooden stakes. Surrounding it, there are rows of sharpened moso bamboos on the bank, with the sharp points facing the outer circle, obviously to prevent the enemy from attacking.

There is not a single ship around the entire island, but Xu Zizhen believes in this illusion. If officers and soldiers are really coming to attack, there will be fast boats rushing out of every invisible corner as soon as the gong rings. Come.

He Liangliang's brother-in-law rolled the boat to a fence on the side of the island and shouted: "The guests are here, open the door!"

Xu Zizhen also looked up, but there was no one inside the fence, but it opened slowly with a creaking sound, revealing a straight waterway inside.

The boat went straight in, and as soon as it entered the gate, the fence behind it was closed again. At this moment, countless figures suddenly appeared on the shore on both sides, each holding a long bow and a steel knife. The formation was neat and majestic, staring at Xu Zizhen on the boat. .

Xu Zizhen couldn't help but secretly praised: "So domineering! Is this really a water bandit?"

After a while, a grand and magnificent building appeared in front of me, with red bricks, blue tiles and dragon ridges, standing like a miniature palace in the center of the island.

He Liangliang's brother-in-law got off the boat and waved his hand: "Please."

Xu Zizhen stepped off the boat, looked around curiously, and followed him in. There were already two rows of fishermen holding long guns at the door, each of them standing straight like a pine without squinting. When Xu Zizhen came close, they suddenly shouted loudly. , and the spears in their hands faced each other to form a spear array.

Xu Zizhen had seen this scene on TV a long time ago, and he had made preparations before he came, but when the situation was in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel chills, the glaring tip of the gun was on top of his head, this kind of pressure was unprecedented for him. There have been, but he has never been willing to give in. Although the cold sweat broke out on his back, he still pretended to be disdainful and sneered, and walked forward with his head held high.

Not far from the entrance is the hall. There are more than a dozen men dressed as fishermen standing on both sides. They are all full of energy and sharp eyes. They are obviously leaders. At the end of the hall, there is a yellow rosewood On the Taishi chair, an old man who is nearly sixty years old sits on the chair, squinting at Xu Zizhen who entered the door.

I don't know why, the moment Xu Zizhen was looked at by him, he had an illusion, as if he was being stared at by a prehistoric beast. It was extremely uncomfortable if the light was on his back, but now he had to hold on, and he simply squinted his eyes. Looking back.

The old man suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Haha! Okay, this kid is brave, I like it!"

When he smiled, Xu Zizhen suddenly felt the pressure on his body lighten. He breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed secretly: "Bastard, can you show me your power?"

The old man laughed for a while, then his face suddenly sank again, and he sneered, "Boy, are you the one who said you were going to take the shit out of the robbery fishing village on my head? You're not small!"

Xu Zizhen smiled, sat down on a chair next to him, and said carelessly: "Don't scare me, old man. I'm a coward and I can't be scared. I'm telling the truth, but If I didn't say that, would you always be willing to see me?"

The old man was obviously taken aback, and then he laughed loudly: "Okay! I haven't seen a boy as brave as you for a long time." He paused and said, "But you are wrong about one thing, if I hadn't known about you Regarding the matter of the boy, I am afraid that I have already thrown you directly into Taihu Lake to feed the bastard."

Xu Zizhen felt awkward listening to him, but he was taken aback when he heard it: "My business? Old man, what do you know about me?"

The old man smiled and said: "Didn't I just say that you have the guts? You dared to break into the thief's den alone and rescued so many girls. Based on this alone, I can't invite you to drink Taihu Lake... Come on, get the wine!" "

Soon someone brought out a big jar and put it on a small table in front of the old man. Just as the mud seal was opened, a strong smell of wine came out. Xu Zizhen sniffled and praised sincerely: " Good wine!"

The old man snorted: "Nonsense! This is for my daughter to marry, how can it be bad? Pour wine!"

Someone next to him put a row of celadon big bowls on the table, filling each bowl to the brim, the old man pointed and said, "Come on!"

Xu Zizhen raised his palm, "Wait a minute!"

The old man frowned: "What?"

Xu Zizhen said lightly: "I have to make sure that the robbery of the fishing village yesterday has nothing to do with you, so that I can drink this wine with you. Otherwise... I'm sorry, I can't afford you as a friend."
