"From Qiansi Fang to Bao'en Temple to the docks outside the city, you have your eyes on everything. Zhu Er, I really didn't realize that you are so powerful in our Ba County and have better information than the rest of us.

"

"It's none of my business, it's none of my business, and it's none of the tea gang's business. I really didn't know they were so brave and dared to do such a thing behind my back."

Guan Baotou stared at Zhu Er closely and said coldly: "They are your porters, but you keep saying that it is none of your business! Even if I believe it, the great master will not believe it."

Duan Jingcheng was still frightened up to this moment, and put down his wine glass expressionlessly: "Chief Chen, I, Duan Jiqing, am not as easy to talk to as my son-in-law. It is about the life and fortune of my daughter and son-in-law. If the tea gang does not take the opportunity to clean up the family, don't blame me.

Duan Jiqing won’t give you face!”

"Duan Jingcheng, if you have something to say, please tell me."

"There's nothing to say. Duan has made all the arrangements that should be made. As long as they dare to bring murder weapons on board the ship to chase them, they are guilty of rebellion. Even if they can avoid the death penalty, they will not be able to escape!" Duan Jiqing was really angry and used murder to kill people.

He stared at Zhu Er with a glaring gaze.

The guest manager of the Huguang Guild Hall knew very well that if this matter got serious, the local gentry would definitely take the opportunity to force the county magistrate or even the government to give an explanation, which would directly affect the future business of the Eight Provincial Banks. He could only raise his head and say: "Zhu Er, what happened now

What else do you have to hesitate about?"

"Chief Chen, what the Wu brothers did was a bit excessive, but there was a reason for it..."

"It has long been determined how Wu Dazha died."

"Okay, since even you said that, I will ask someone to teach them a lesson. After the lesson is over, I will lock them up for a few days. When Mr. Han is gone, I will drive them back to their hometown in Chaling and they will not be allowed to come back again!"

The guest manager of the Huguang Guild Hall felt that this was the best solution at hand, so he turned around and asked: "Duan Jingcheng, Guan Baotou, are you two satisfied with this treatment?"

It is an indisputable fact that Wu Da was beaten to death by Da Tou. Guan Da Tou was not afraid of the Wu brothers, but he did not want to kill them all, because suppressing the tea gang too hard would be counterproductive. He raised his head and looked at Duan Jingcheng, and said thoughtfully: "

This is an appropriate approach, but I can’t believe Zhu Erda’s guarantee.”

"What if I take this guarantee?"

"Mr. Chen, I believe what you say."

"Okay, I'll take care of the guarantee." The guest manager of the Huguang Guild Hall patted the table and turned around and said: "Zhu Er, listen carefully to me, and hurry up to clean up the house. If something goes wrong, even Duan Jingcheng and Guan will not do it.

You, even the Eight Provinces Gang cannot tolerate you!"

………

Han Xiufeng didn't know what was happening in Ba County, and he didn't care whether he would be overtaken by the Wu brothers who wanted to take revenge on the big head, because when he just arrived at Longxi Shuiyi in the evening, he encountered a familiar and irresistible force.

The fleet made him and Pan Er dare not go ashore, so they could only hide in the cabin.

Pan Er opened the curtain and took a peek, and asked nervously: "Fourth brother, how did the Bronze Heavenly King arrive here after leaving so many days before us?"

"The ship must have sunk," Han Xiufeng lay on his side in the cabin, resting his head on his arm and said, "The transport officer surnamed Zhou was ripped off by us in Ba County. He probably didn't dare to do anything in Ba County again."

, so as soon as Changshou arrived, he sank a few ships and recovered the losses in Ba County."

"His little son is too courageous. This is not only a matter of losing money, but also a delay in luck."

"He's already in this position, so there's nothing to be afraid of. As for the shipping date, he doesn't have to worry about it. It takes time to fish out the copper that has sunk in the river. It takes time to fish it out and hire a boat. After loading it, it takes time to travel how many miles a day."

It is stipulated that local officials along the road will submit a report, which is to prove to him that even if there is a delay, it is not his intention."

"Is there a limit to how many miles you can walk in a day?" Pan Er asked curiously.

"Yes." Han Xiufeng turned over and explained: "Whether it is transporting official silver, official copper or grain, when a heavy boat is traveling against the current, the river travels thirty miles per day, the river travels forty miles per day, and the other four

Fifteen miles; when traveling in an empty boat, the river travels forty miles, the river travels fifty miles, and the other sixty miles; regardless of the size of the boat, the river is stipulated to be between 100 and 150 miles a day. If you do not follow the regulations, you will be punished.

It will be investigated and dealt with."

"This is the first time I've heard that there are regulations on how many miles we can walk in a day." Pan Er thought for a while and then said worriedly: "Fourth brother, they stopped us here. Those boatmen and government servants will definitely get on the boat tomorrow morning.

Extortion of money. It’s just a small amount of money. What if we are recognized by those idiots? This is not Ba County, and those named Zhou will definitely not let us off lightly."

Han Xiufeng sat up, opened the curtain at the end of the cabin to look at the sky, and said lightly: "This is not Ba County, but it is still under the jurisdiction of Chongqing Prefecture. It will not be easy for his son to deal with me."

"If he throws a few copper ingots on the boat, what if we steal his copper?"

"Don't worry, they can only blackmail Fifth Brother's money if they want to. They can't blackmail us, let alone frame us."

"Why can't I blackmail you?"

"Because we are gone and he can't see us, how can he blackmail us or frame us?" Han Xiufeng smiled, and then said: "We will go ashore later, take the dry road to Shimenyi, and wait for fifth brother at Shimenyi."

"This is a way, but how do we get ashore? The shore is full of their people!"

"Not all of them are on the shore, there are also long-lived government officials." Han Xiufeng opened a cloth bag, took out a letter, and asked with a smile: "Do you know who is in charge of the inn?"

Pan Er said without hesitation: "Guizhou County Administration."

"Yes, the post is under the control of Guizhou County, but in the final analysis it is still under the control of the Ministry of War. My father-in-law is the military manager of the government office. There are no water and land posts in the various states and counties under the jurisdiction of Chongqing Prefecture that he does not know about. The eldest boss of each state and county

None of the officers stationed at the inn dare not give him face. Let Fifth Brother deliver this letter to the shore later, and the people on the shore will naturally try to pick us up."

"Great, look at my memory, how could I forget this!"

Seeing Pan Er's cheerful look, Han Xiufeng sighed: "Brother Pan, we can only eat well in Chongqing. Once we enter Huguang, we will have to rely on ourselves."

"We'll talk about the future later. The most important thing now is to get through this hurdle."

"That's right. Go call Fifth Brother and ask Fifth Brother to help deliver the letter ashore."

"Okay."

…

After all, Qin Wu is a man who has seen the world, and he is indeed reliable in his work.

He made a big fuss as soon as he got off the boat, claiming that he was delivering a message for the magistrate's government and that he had important matters to report to the official at the post. The magistrate of Zhouzhi County and the government servants he brought from Yunnan were suspicious and called the magistrate of Changshou County to send him to help take care of the Yunnan Copper.

The government officials came over, but refused to let Qin Wu go ashore.

All he had to do was deliver the letter. Qin Wu took the opportunity to hand the letter to the government official in Changshou. Seeing that there was a stamp from the government office on the envelope, a team leader from the Changshou County government office did not dare to neglect and hurried to deliver the letter, leaving two people behind before leaving.
