The best means of transportation from Xuzhou to Yucheng is to take a boat.

On this day, the wind was gentle and the river breeze blew, with ripples floating and rippling. Three heavy cargo ships filled with specialties such as the famous wine Yao Zixuequ (Wuliangye), Nanxi dried tofu, Pingshan fried greens, Xingwenfang bamboo shoots and Yunlian Kuding Tea were sailing down the river.

Because the goods were quite valuable, the cargo owner also hired a tutor to come and escort the escort. In addition to the thirteen people on the cargo ship, two other shuttle boats followed the fleet.

Hu Renbiao, an old platoon leader in Xuzhou, stood on the double-layer plywood, looking at the two men lying on the deck at the stern of the boat basking in the sun, his face was a little unsightly.

These two people knew they were from the martial arts world at a glance, and from their behavior and demeanor, they were definitely practitioners, and they were even very likely to be masters.

Hu Renbiao, who has been taking goods and sailing for such unidentified passengers, has always been very vigilant. After all, the Yangtze River waterway is dangerous, not only has turbulent river bends and strange waters, but also because people are living in poverty, a large number of water bandits have been bred.

The gang of water bandits make a living by collecting protection fees for passing ships. Of course, they still rob with swords and guns.

People in Sichuan call these guys Shuilizi.

These crocodiles are very rampant and cunning. Most of them are in groups, forming camps and camping with each other, colluding with each other, and then robbing the goods. Some are responsible for selling stolen goods, some are responsible for kidnapping tickets and collecting money, and some are responsible for negotiating with past forces. The whole set of procedures is very mature.

The most representative one here is the famous Lianyun Twelve Water Village...

Of course, there are also many thieves who go to the gang. These people are even more cruel and basically don’t leave any living habits. If they meet, they will die.

These crocodiles have a lot of power and a lot of people. If some spies from crocodiles are infiltrated into the fleet, it will be a huge trouble.

Hu Renbiao talked about this with the goods owner, but the goods owner told him not to worry, that these two people would not have any problems.

Despite this, he was still worried and went over and took a look at the other person's thoughts. In the end, not only did he not figure out where the other party came from, but his own bottom was empty for the round-faced boy, and there was nothing left.

That guy was not old and had too many wits to die. He had lived for more than 40 years in vain. In front of the cunning boy, he had no ability to resist at all, and he was confused and left the truth.

Because of this, Hu Renbiao has always been worried and always wants to figure out the details of the two people.

Just as he was squinting his eyes and pondering, the deputy helm Pi Liu ran over and said to him: "The head of the archery, there is a small boat there, two people on it, hanging the pennant flag of Lianyun Twelve Water Village, and coming for us..."

Hu Renbiao raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Lianyun Twelve Water Village?"

Pi Liu's face was full of nervousness and he said anxiously: "Yes."

Hu Renbiao had some doubts, but he still said to Pi Liu and several apprentices around him: "Don't be afraid, we have paid enough money to Lianyun Twelve Water Village. On the Yangtze River Channel, those crocodile squads will not make things difficult for us..."

Pi Liu asked: "What should I do if that boat?"

Hu Renbiao said: "Let me come here."

He led his men to the bow of the boat and saw that the shuttle boats on both sides had approached. The subordinates above were either carrying stainless steel harpoons or holding old-fashioned rifles and staring at the boat in the distance.

When the main ship had an order to come down, he lowered his gun, but he was still alert and guarded.

The boat in the distance came closer in a short while, and at this time, Hu Renbiao had already asked someone to hang the flag of Xuzhou Praise and tell the other party the identity of the ship.

Generally speaking, Paizhi and Lianyun Twelve Water Village have had secretly colluded. For example, the amount of money is enough. Even if Shui Lizi wants to open a "business", he will not attack the people and gangs who have paid the part. After all, what is important in the world is "integrity" and "morality". If they go back on their word, how can they collect the participants in the future?

Don’t look at the money for the part-time money, but gathering sand to form a tower is a considerable income, and it doesn’t take any effort, so it’s so comfortable.

With such money, why bother hijacking the ship by killing the ship?

Hu Renbiao comforted himself, while the boat stopped ten meters away. One person stood up, bowed to the bow of the boat, and said, "The mountains and rivers by the river are covered with clouds. I rolled in Mazi Village. Qin Muyun is down. I don't know which leader of the escort on the boat is the sergeant?"

This person was talking about slander by the river. The first sentence named their identity as "Lianyun Twelve Water Villages", and the second sentence specifically pointed to the water village where he belonged.

Mazi Village.

This village is located in the lower reaches of Xuzhou. The leader is a leper, but his cultivation is quite high and he is very good at water. Therefore, even if he gets sick, there is not much hindrance. People in the martial arts world call him "Leprosy Tiger" and are an extremely cruel character.

As for Qin Muyun, Hu Renbiao has never heard of it.

He looked at the man, walked up, bowed and said, "The hero is polite. Our family is called Hu Renbiao. He is an old escort leader in Xuzhou's Paizhi. We will give you enough money in the example of Lianyun Twelve Water Village. I am also an old acquaintance with your village leader Leprae. I don't know why you are here?"

The man laughed twice, and then said, "The news of Hu Pao Head is a little behind. Leprosy has already been rectified on the spot because he opposed the order of the chief camp leader. Now the person in charge of Mazi Village is our Wang Wenjie..."

Hu Renbiao was stunned and said in surprise: "Ah? When did this happen?"

He asked, while secretly feeling something was not very good.

Leprosy Tiger has dealt with, such a fierce man. That guy has been rampant in this area of ​​water for more than ten years. He is famous for being a man. He can scare Ye Ti's child by just taking out a name, but he ends up killing him silently.

It seems that this Mazi Village has undergone a drastic change in the struggle for power...

Qin Muyun shouted: "Half a month ago - I won't tell you nonsense. The new village leader now has regulations. Regardless of whether the gangs, escort agencies and single gangs have any cooperation with Lepros, they will be invalidated now. In addition, the village has mainly added a batch of arms, and the hands are extremely deficient. Any ship who wants to turn the boat from Ma must hand over half of the goods or equal amount of money..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pi Liu next to Hu Renbiao couldn't hold back his anger and shouted in surprise: "Aren't you robbing me directly?"

Qin Muyun couldn't help laughing and said, "Ge, we are doing this industry. Leave half of it for you. It's already very good. If we don't give it, we'll just take it ourselves. But then we can't guarantee you the lives of these people on the ship at that time..."

After he said that, the boat turned around and began to row towards the distance.

Qin Muyun bowed to Hu Renbiao on the bow of the boat and said, "Hu Pao Head, we will come to pick up the goods on time at 10 o'clock in the evening. If there is any resistance, we don't mind a scene of killing chickens for monkeys, so that the old and young men in the entire Xuzhou area can take a look..."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Pi Liu had a gloomy face and whispered in Hu Renbiao's ear: "Do you, these two turtle sons are too arrogant. Do you want to keep them?"

Pi Liu is different from the ordinary platoon children who are good at using swords, guns and sticks. He was originally from the Hunan Army and practiced two guns with one finger. Later, he joined the platoon education. At this distance, he was confident that he would save the lives of the two of them.

But Hu Renbiao reached out to stop him.

Although taking the lives of these two little fish can make a sigh of relief, it will offend the new leader of Mazi Village, Wang Wenjie.

Not to mention that Mazizhai is quite powerful, but they are also scheming all year round, just like these shuizi, they will always encounter them. If they really make the relationship go wrong, not only will they lose their jobs, but they may also take advantage of their brothers' lives.

only……

The goods were half done, and this was done too well. It was just a fishing place to kill chickens and get eggs, which made the old Hu Renbiao a little confused.

What exactly does the new village leader, Mazizhai, want to do?

Do Lianyun Twelve Water Village know that they are doing this mess?

No, no, Leprosy Tiger was killed because of his resistance to the head of the general village. In other words, what they did was the order of the general village of the 12 Shui Village?

Just when Hu Renbiao was confused and felt like his head was as big as a fight, a boatman came and said to him: "Old escort, Boss Tian heard that there were water bandits coming over and asked what was going on."

Hu Renbiao hesitated for a moment and decided to go over and explain to the owner in person.

When he arrived at the cabin and told the cargo owner about what happened just now, the cargo owner looked confused and asked, "Didn't you say that you have dealt with the water bandits here in the Yangtze River Waterway, so there will definitely be no problems?"

Hu Renbiao explained the relationship clearly to the other party in embarrassment, and then said, "We may be in a little trouble this time."

After hearing Hu Renbiao's explanation, the owner was a little scared and said, "Will they really come tonight?"

Hu Renbiao said: "Since you have come here and given an ultimatum, you will definitely come here."

The owner of the goods exploded and said nervously: "Old escort, you have to take care of this matter - I ask you to teach me, but it cost a lot of money. You can't really let me hand over half of the goods. If this happens, I will go bankrupt..."

Hu Renbiao said: "This is of course, but the problem is that we don't know very well how many people will come to Mazi Village."

The owner asked: "Can you rush over?"

Hu Renbiao shook his head and said that the waves on the bend of the crooked beach are definitely not possible.

The owner of the cargo asked again: "Then let's go to the dock and take the land?"

Hu Renbiao said with a wry smile: "I've been targeted by those people. Do you think it's enough to go to the dock?"
