Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 43
From Baghdad to Basra is downstream, and the speed of the boat is much faster than when it came.

Think about it, as long as Oman can stop those people in the middle of the night, those people will never be able to catch up again.

Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the cabin.

Then he met Xie Jue's eyes that were almost burning with anger.

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at Su Yue in his arms.

Feeling Su Yue's pulse, and then rolling his eyes, Li Xiang said: "It's an anesthetic, and mixing it with wine will not cause the wine to produce a peculiar smell. After drinking it, people will feel weak and fall into a lethargic sleep."

Looking at Xie Jue, Li Xiang hurriedly continued: "But this kind of thing is not life-threatening. If it is only once, there will be no sequelae. That is, the little girl will sleep for two days."

"She's so young, is there really no problem?" Xie Jue looked down at Su Yue and murmured.

"Don't worry, she will be alive and kicking again in a few days." Li Xiangfang softened his voice and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Xie Jue hugged Su Yue closer, thought for a moment, and started the matter from the beginning.

The more Li Xiang listened, the more frightened he became, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Xie Guang, unexpectedly so intentional!
He knew that Xie Guang was a little narrow-minded, but he didn't expect him to be so vicious.

Think about it, if Xie Jue drank that glass of wine without checking...

(In Su Yue's previous life, although there was no Su Yue's tea, Xie Jue made a lot of money himself, but because there was no Su Yue, there was no protective measures when septicemia occurred, and the guards died only Xie Jue Qi and Rong Shan were taken to Abu's banquet by Xie Guang. He drank the medicinal wine and became weak. Xie Qi killed Xie Guang and Rong Shan rushed him out, and both died in front of the back door, while he, Relying on scratching his face to wake himself up and restraining Abu at the same time, he had a chance to escape, and then met Li Xiang on the pier and was rescued by Li Xiang.)
"Master Li, thank you Guanghe..." Looking at Li Xiang, Xie Jue called softly.

While speaking, he was also reviewing the whole incident calmly, and he still didn't understand Xie Guang's thoughts.

To say that it was just to please Abu and win tea cakes, Xie Guang did such things, and I always felt that it was a little bit worse.

"Ah." Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You don't understand why Xie Guang would do this, right? There is an unwritten rule among Song people and sea merchants, that is, if the sea merchants accidentally If he dies, the people in the fleet can share part of his property."

Xie Jue was stunned: "Score?"

"Yes." Li Xiang said with a wry smile: "You have also seen that running a ship is very risky. Once encountering a shipwreck, both people and ships will die. We can only rely on other boats to take them back together, so the allocated property is equivalent to protection money, otherwise, people will go back and say directly that the boat is gone, and the family members have nowhere to find someone to go."

In fact, the starting point of this rule is good. It is to let those businessmen who died in foreign countries have the hope of returning to their homeland, and their property will not be lost.

However, after the law was formed later, the distribution of this property is actually completely up to people to say.

As for Xie Guang, he was so black-hearted that he wanted to do harm to others.

Xie Jue was arrested by Abu, so he must be regarded as a prisoner, and he would be said to be dead.

When sailing from Quanzhou, the head of the fleet (the captain of the fleet) is the registered Xie Guang.

Once Xie Jue was found dead, Xie Guang had the right to distribute Xie Jue's property except for the part that was distributed to the people on his own ship.

Even Li Xiang had no way to raise objections.

After listening to Li Xiang's explanation, Xie Jue laughed coldly and said, "Then, now that Xie Guang is dead, what will happen to the fleet and the leader of the outline?"

"If Xie Guang is confirmed to be dead, the deputy leader will make the judgment." Li Xiang said in a deep voice, "However, we got separated from the fleet, so even if we go back, we must say so."

"Scattered?" Xie Jue asked involuntarily.

"Well, such things as going to sea often happen. When there is a big storm, the fleet is blown away, and the time to arrive at the port is different. If you don't want to wait, you can sail by yourself, or the sailing route is different. For example, the ship going to Daguang, but there must be a port certificate." Li Xiangdao: "Otherwise, if you go back to Quanzhou, you will be held accountable, why don't you go with the fleet."

Xie Jue understood.

This is Song Guo's intention to prevent vicious things from happening, but unfortunately, such rules still can't stop Xie Guang from abandoning them and trying to do black hands.

Just because the sea route is too dangerous and unpredictable, in this place tens of thousands of miles away, you can say whatever you want.

"When we entered the port in the bus, I applied for the relevant certificates, and I will issue another one when we leave." Li Xiang rubbed his brows and said.

This is done for the sake of more freedom on the return trip.

did not think of……

After a busy day and night, Li Xiang was also tired after learning such an infuriating truth. Seeing that the boat had stabilized, he fell asleep on the soft couch.

This boat was the last one left, it was not big, and there were only five of them, Li Xiang and Xie Jue, and the rest were big food boatmen.

Xie Qi asked the two guards to go to sleep as well, and sat next to Xie Jue with his sword in his arms.

Glancing at Xie Jue, he said softly, "What should I do?"

Xie Jue has never been a good person, after suffering such a big loss this time, Su Yue has become like this...

Xie Jue looked down at Su Yue, gently gathered the hair on her forehead with his fingers, and said softly, "Tell me, do other people know what Xie Guang did?"

I heard that other people in the fleet lived with Xie Guang. Li Xiang was from Hangzhou, so he was not familiar with Quanzhou, nor did he know Xie Qing's contact information, but other people in the fleet did know Xie Qing. of.

Even if it was Xie Guang's own idea to do this, he had to make sure that those people would not tell Xie Qing about it.

Before Xie Qi could answer, Xie Jue smiled lightly and said, "Let's bet on people's hearts, shall we?"

people's hearts?

Xie Qi didn't ask further, but turned his head to look at the dim light in the sky, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

Xu Shi had been with Su Yue for a long time, and they had gotten used to the life of ordinary people.

It's just that wolves are wolves, so don't expect them to be kind when they see blood.

It is the season when the Tigris River begins to swell, and the boat goes down the river much faster than up the river.

The boat sailed for two days and arrived in Basra in the early morning of the third day.

Xie Jue carried Su Yue, who was still sleeping, directly onto the ship, and asked Steward Gong to cooperate with Li Xiang to deal with the sailing matters, and then asked Xie Qi to take Rong Shan into the cabin.

"How much bad tea do we have on board?" Xie Jue put Su Yue down and asked Rong Shan.

"One thousand for black tea and eight hundred for black tea. They are all soaked in water and the girl said they can't be drunk. There are five thousand cakes for the rotten tea that cannot be baked, and one thousand cakes for the fire-baked one." Rong Shan glanced at Su. Moon, replied.

"Have you figured out the news about the fleet over there?" Xie Jue asked after thinking about it in his heart.

"The owner of the ship has gone to Baghdad, and the remaining people are left alone. Many sailors on their ship died, and Xie Guang's sailor also died." Rong Shan paused and said, "They want to attack our ship. A few days ago, someone blocked our sailors on the pier, trying to get those sailors to transfer to their ship."

"That's it." Xie Jue lowered his eyes and said: "You let those sailors leak the news to them, let them secretly send the bad tea over, um, put some good tea cakes on it."
