Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 349 None came back!
The disappearance of the boat is not a big deal, because according to the style of the water thieves led by brother Huang, after killing people and looting goods, the small boat will find a place to burn the boat to wipe out the traces, and the big boat will send a few people overnight to take the boat as a trophy to the main rudder.

So when she saw the boat was gone this morning, she thought Brother Huang and the others had succeeded, but she didn't expect that after searching for a long time in Shuicheng County, she didn't find anyone, and she didn't see anyone go ashore.

The little brother Huang didn't come back, the second brother didn't come back, and all the brothers didn't come back!
Just like the identified big fat sheep boat, all the water thieves disappeared without a trace and never appeared again. She was made to wait until dusk, but the pier was still as deadly calm.Of course he knew that Brother Huang and the others couldn't all go to the helm by boat.

It wasn't until this time that Zhu's sister-in-law finally confirmed that something had happened, something serious had happened.

She trembled with her lips, and she couldn't believe this fact. Even if the guards on the boat were strong, the sound of fighting should have been heard last night, and the people on the shore should have reacted. There is no news—could it be...that ship is a ghost ship, which easily captured more than 20 fierce water thieves.

Zhu's sister-in-law changed her attire overnight, covered her hair, hid the rest of the family's wealth, hired a carriage at a high price, and rushed downstream along the difficult mountain road overnight, passing Yangzhou Without stopping, they crossed the Yangtze River and continued southward to Runzhou, another state city in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

This process took her two full days, and she hardly got out of the carriage on the way, and she ate and drank in the carriage on the way.

She is the lowest-level member of the Dajiang Gang, and it was extremely difficult to see the leader of the Dajiang Gang, but perhaps it was her sunken eye sockets and anxious expression that made the master in charge of reception believe her words, and comprehended with a slightly ugly expression. followed her into the back garden of the chief rudder.

In the most fortified back garden in Runzhou City, the big boss of the Dajiang Gang, who was only [-] years old, and the well-known Liu Jinyuan on the rivers and lakes, closed his eyes, listening to Zhu's sister-in-law's reply, and slowly opened his eyes, feeling the chills. Man, all eyes flashed.

After a while, Liu Jinyuan said: "If 2 taels of silver can be obtained, plus the goods that the brothers have grabbed these days, it should be enough for us to open a decent business."

The master also looked happy, and said: "Your subordinate will make arrangements now. As long as the boat is still on the water, your subordinate can stop it."

The boat, of course, is always on the water.

Liu Jinyuan's subordinates command the heroes of the Jiangnan waterways, and there are countless ships. The master's words reveal a strong self-confidence.

Liu Jinyuan stopped the master with a wave of his hand, and said: "That kid Huang Zezhong is not weak, and his 30 or so brothers are also good players. He didn't even make a sound when he got on the boat. And there were only a dozen or so people on the boat. There are first-class masters. This ship killed our people and dared to continue going south. It shows some background. In order not to cause trouble, we must not leave them alive. But if the other party has first-rate masters, no matter how many of us there are, sometimes it will be difficult to kill them. Kill them all. To be on the safe side, I will personally ask the old priest to go with you, and only a master can make sure nothing goes wrong."

Early this morning, when approaching the intersection of the canal and the big river, many more boats suddenly appeared, as if overnight, someone cast some magic and dropped many boats onto the river.

Those ships were big or small, with different shapes and speeds, and there were even a few slightly modified triplanes inside.Triwing boats are official ships of the Southern Tang Navy. They are extremely fast and have never been allowed to be used by civilians.

The same thing is that the men standing on these boats all have bulging waists, and they presumably hide weapons. Apart from the conspicuous rust on their dark cheeks, there is a silent murderous intent and vigilance.

To be able to mobilize so many ships to concentrate on this waterway within a day or two, without disturbing the Nantang government and the navy to speak out, the only one who can have this ability is the well-known Dajiang Gang. In terms of the ability to control Dajiang, in some details, the Southern Tang Navy is not even comparable to the Dajiang Gang.

The Dajiang Gang specializes in making a living on the cobweb-like waterways in the Yangtze River Basin. Whether it is cargo transportation, passenger transportation or related industries, it all depends on their faces. Especially since this year, Liu Jinyuan has focused on building a good relationship with the Southern Tang government and the navy, making The power of the Dajiang Gang is unmatched for a while, and even the other overlord of the rivers and lakes located in Yangzhou City-Jianzhuang is unwilling to be an enemy.

No one can stop the gangsters and the government.So all these years.Although the Dajiang Gang has reduced the underworld business on the surface, it has gradually stepped out of the lakes and aquatic plants, and came to the people in an open and honest manner, and its momentum is even stronger than before.

It is such a powerful force.In order to be able to run unimpeded on the big river and cable boats along the river without fear of people's opinions.

Liu Jinyuan did not come in person, because he wanted to invite Master Xu Shunxu, the garrison general of the Southern Tang Navy, to drink in Runzhou City to ensure that he used a large number of ships and manpower to block the junction of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal. The Southern Tang Navy remained silent.

At noon, the big boat hadn't come down yet. Finally, the members of the Dajiang Gang couldn't wait anymore, and dozens of boats rushed up the current aggressively, actively looking for it.

An hour later, they saw the big ship they were looking for. It was moving over the canal at an extremely slow speed, and it slowly appeared in the eyes of the ships of the Dajiang Gang.

As soon as this boat appeared, dozens of members of the Dajiang Gang on board crowded the boat with shouts and shouts.

Dozens of boats rushed up quickly, and the natural ability of the water bandits to maneuver the boat was most effectively exerted at this time, but there were only a few changes.Then he surrounded the big ship in the middle of the river.

The boats of the Dajiang Gang carefully surrounded the big boat from Kyoto, and the leading three-winged spaceship approached the big boat. At this time, the big boat had stopped, and it seemed that it had given up resistance.

The leader of the Dajiang Gang on the three-winged spaceship shouted towards the big ship: "Listen up, people on board. You are already surrounded. If you don't want to die, immediately put down your weapons and kneel on the board."

The big boat was still silent and quiet, to be precise, no one could be seen.

The leader of the Dajiang Gang looked slightly stern, and glanced at the old man with a long sword on his back and an indifferent expression on his face. The latter nodded, and then he made a gesture to the surroundings. The next moment, a total of six ships approached come over.Stretching out the long embroidery pole, he hooked the side plank of the big ship with some difficulty, took out the short knife on his body, and prepared to board the ship by force.

At this moment, a man without a hand emerged from the cabin on the big ship.

Ye Chen, Yu Qingyan, Lian Jicheng, the ten killers, and those crew members who belonged to the peripheral members of the Huaxia Weifu were no longer on board.

Only Huang Zezhong, who was missing a hand, and the 2 taels of silver were on board, but he successfully attracted the main masters of the Dajiang Gang.

Runzhou (later Zhenjiang) is the real confluence of the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River. The waters collide with each other. Over the past ten thousand years, countless fertile soils have been accumulated. In addition to the hard work of the people, it has always been one of the famous grain-producing areas along the river. .

At the same time, it is also the largest naval base in the Southern Tang Kingdom. Thousands of naval officers and soldiers rely on this state city that strangles the throat of the south of the Yangtze River.

The officers and soldiers of the navy who smelled of sweat and water brought endless troubles to the people of Runzhou, the girls of Runzhou brought infinite dangers, and the officials of Runzhou brought countless problems. At the same time, they also brought countless problems to the city of Runzhou. [-]% of the money and business opportunities that the Southern Tang court gave to those bachelors every year, I am afraid that [-]% of them were used in the brothels, gambling houses and restaurants in Runzhou, so the entertainment industry in Runzhou, to be precise, is The tertiary industry is quite developed, and there are many restaurants of all kinds. The west side is full of red sleeves, and the east side keeps shaking dice from morning to dusk... It's so lively.

Just when the big boat on the canal was found by the Dajiang Gang, a group of people walked out of the unremarkable but clean inn of the Runzhou family. The combination of this group was very ordinary. A young son, a maid, followed by Four guards with serious faces.This pedestrian is naturally Ye Chen, Yu Qingyan and his party.

It's just that the other six killers who acted as bodyguards have already been taken by Lian Jicheng to today's destination ahead of schedule.

The group directly hired a carriage and drove to Nancheng.

When the main force of the Dajiang Gang was mobilized to intercept their big boat, Ye Chen took the people around him and got off the boat at night without anyone noticing. After the passenger ship arrived in Runzhou City, there were a large number of spies from the intelligence department covering the way. Their whereabouts were extremely secretive, and even the local snake of the Dajiang Gang didn't notice.

The atmosphere in the south city of Runzhou was a little tense.There is a mix of three religions and nine streams in this place, and everyone knows that the overlord of the Dao, the leader of the Dajiang Gang, Liu Gang, is doing something. I don’t know the specific details, but a large group of main players of the Dajiang Gang who walked out of that small courtyard yesterday knew that this This thing is a big deal.Anyone who knows the way of the Dajiang Gang knows that there must be a huge fat sheep being targeted by the Dajiang Gang.

That small yard seemed inconspicuous.But everyone knows that it is the sub-helm of the Dajiang Gang in Runzhou.

Therefore, when Ye Chen and Yu Qingyan rode in a carriage, surrounded by four gold-medal killers dressed as ordinary guards, and came to a few feet away from the small courtyard, someone had already noticed it, especially the Dajiang gang scattered on the street. His eyeliner stared at the carriage even more, as if he wanted to judge the purpose of this pedestrian.

But no one in the Dajiang gang noticed that in the dim twilight, Lian Jicheng and six other gold medal killers who seemed to be no different from ordinary people had already occupied the most advantageous spots on this street.

As the carriage got closer and closer to the rudder, some people gradually approached.Consciously or unintentionally aiming at the carriage, the atmosphere was a little tense.The people in the carriage didn't seem to notice anything, or they didn't care at all, and they drove straight to the gate of the courtyard before stopping.

At this time, the four killers following Ye Chen were Ding Yingcai, Zhang Xiong, Yue Zhengye, and Bai Xiaomao.Of course Qi Whip is the driver.

As soon as the car stopped, the white kitten stepped forward, walked up the stone steps, and said a few words to the thug at the door with a calm expression.
