The Golden County Magistrate

This woman was the one who had followed Chen Yan before. She had just heard the argument between Chen Yan and Jin Ze and others from a distance, and she also heard that five thousand taels of silver were lost on the small building ship. She couldn't help but feel excited.

This fat fish was indeed picked correctly!

The expenses were extravagant and wasteful, and a large amount of silver was brought on board. The ship owner was generous, all of which met the characteristics of the target.

At the beginning, her target was actually the four cargo ships.

The draft was deep, the speed was slow, and there were many people escorting.

She was sure that there must be important cargo on the cargo ship!

But after tracking for a day or two, she gradually found something wrong.

The small building ship in front seemed to have a lot of tricks.

In addition, the bait that Chen Yan kept throwing out later made her even more sure that the real valuable thing was the small building ship!

To put it another way, even if she was wrong, the ship itself was worth at least three thousand taels of silver!

But she didn't expect that after Chen Yan threatened to leave, he actually drove the ship to speed up and left the fleet.

She had limited manpower, so she could only choose the small building ship that left, or the remaining four cargo ships.

She did not hesitate and decisively chose to follow the small building ship.

But soon she realized that something was wrong. The acceleration of the small building ship seemed endless, and soon exceeded the speed limit of the four ferries in her hands, and the distance was getting farther and farther!

"Sister Ping'er, where did that ship come from? It doesn't look like a ferry or a cargo ship, and it doesn't have an official ship flag. How can it be so fast?" A burly man moved to her side and asked in a rough voice.

"The fat fish just came, and the foundation is not yet fully understood, but the boat can be so fast, it must be worth a lot of money!" The plump woman's eyes were shining, "Don't say three thousand taels, I guess that boat can't be built for five thousand taels!"

"Then should we chase it or not? The brothers are exhausted." The burly man asked hesitantly.

"Chase! Why not! Tell everyone to hold on, there is Chengtang Lake ahead!"

"There are a lot of water plants over there, the boat can't go fast, we can definitely catch up!"

"Besides, I have sent someone to inform Mr. Tan on horseback, he will definitely be ready in Chengtang Lake to stop the boat!"

"When the time comes, it will be time to fish!"

Sister Ping'er said viciously, and her originally beautiful face also looked a little ferocious.

"Sister, you are really awesome, I will listen to you! Ouch!" The rough man smiled honestly, and his body suddenly leaned forward, not knowing whether it was because of the bumpy boat, he couldn't stabilize it.

He stretched out his hand in panic, as if he wanted to grab a place to stabilize his body, and his short fingers suddenly grabbed Sister Ping'er's plump front.

Sister Ping'er's pretty face sank, and her body flexibly retreated backwards, and the big hand suddenly grabbed nothing and pressed on the deck.

She raised her foot and stepped down suddenly, just stepping on the rough man's fingers.

"Ah! It hurts! Sister, please let go!"

The rough man howled like a ghost, trying desperately to pull his hand out from under her foot, but he couldn't pull it out.

"Man, you don't want your hand anymore after playing this trick with me, right? You are the one who touched my aunt?"

Sister Ping'er said coldly.

"I was wrong! Ah! Sister, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again!"

The rough man screamed miserably.

Sister Ping'er then let go of her foot and shouted: "Get out! If you ruin things, I will chop you up and throw you into the lake to feed the fish!"

The rough man breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, rubbing his fingers and leaving with a bitter face.

When he reached the side of the cabin, he turned his head to look at the plump back and muttered in a low voice: "Just wait and see! Sooner or later, I will ask Master Tan to take you! Bah!"

Sister Ping'er didn't hear his muttering, but she knew in her heart that there were more than just the rough man on the boat who coveted her body.

There was no way. These rough river pirates who used to only know how to rob people with brute force and knives and sticks, in their eyes, there were only silver and women, and they would naturally have evil thoughts when they saw her.

However, as long as she didn't like it, even the king of heaven couldn't touch her!

What's more, with Master Tan backing her up, these guys just wanted to take advantage of her, but unfortunately they couldn't.

What was important at the moment was still a small building ship!

At this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up.

In the distance ahead, the silhouette of the small building ship was finally seen!

Caught up!

It seems that the other party's rowers are also tired and can only slow down.

On the small boat, Chen Yan lay on a recliner, squinting his eyes at the four ferries approaching quickly from behind.

The speed-up trick successfully lured all the other party's ships out.

Now all we have to do is to destroy them one by one!

Far behind, the four cargo ships of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce had long been exhausted. They returned to their normal speed and slowly went upstream.

"A bunch of rubbish! How far have you chased before you can't hold on?"

"You ruined my big plan, and you can't afford to blame me!"

"Hurry up and row! Give me a big boat!"I will chase him! We must not let Chen Yan run away!"

On the boat, Jin Ze was extremely anxious and yelled and cursed.

All the Fengling Guards were angry. They were serving the emperor, but they were scolded by this guy!

But after all, they were now the guards of the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, so they had to endure it.

As for the sudden departure of the small building ship, the women were not informed, and they were actually wondering in their hearts.

They all knew the importance of the cargo on these ships, and it was impossible for the two to abandon them.

"Sir, calm down and go back to the cabin to rest for a while. If they catch up later, they will naturally call you." Zeng Hong persuaded and winked at the side.

"Why rest! I'm here!" Jin Ze said with a cold face.

"Sir, this..." Zeng Hong saw that he didn't understand, so he had to whisper, "Sir, I have something to say to you in private."

"What do you want to say? Say it here! "Jin Ze still didn't understand, and said with a stern face.

"This... concerns the thieves on the ship of County Magistrate Chen, and we can't let others hear it!" Zeng Hong really had no choice but to speak it out.

Jin Ze looked at him in shock for a moment, and finally reacted, nodded and said: "Then let's go to the cabin to talk."

Not long after, the two entered Jin Ze's cabin.

After closing the door, Zeng Hong said: "Sir, this matter is a bit strange. Chen Yan said that he would go back to Qingshan County to interrogate the two adults, but the direction he went was not to turn around, but to continue to go north. "

Jin Ze was stunned.

Indeed!

"What do you mean?" He pondered.

"I'm afraid that Chen Yan already knows our plan." Zeng Hong said heavily, "What about stealing five thousand taels of silver, it's all fake. I'm afraid he forced the two adults to sign and seal, and made a false confession. "

"Why make a fake one? "Jin Ze said in astonishment.

"The confession is fake, but he wants the money!"

"This man is so extravagant, he must be extremely greedy."

"He must have found out the truth from the two adults, so he took this opportunity to ask for money from them!"

"And the reason why he went north was that he deliberately frightened them."

"I think he must be waiting for us somewhere ahead."

"When the time comes, as long as the adults are willing to give the money, the two adults will be released, and we can get through this."

Zeng Hong analyzed.
