Chapter 774: Chart 20
“Are you guaranteed that there is no problem?”
The leader obviously disbelief and turned his head to look at the person next to him, and asked and answered: "Did you check it in detail last night?"
The person next to him immediately said: "We carefully checked last night. There were some porcelain on it, nothing else. We kept staring here last night, and no one else got close to him!"
"Can you be sure?"
The leader said in a deep voice.
The man next to him nodded and said, "Of course, brother, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem! Besides, brother, I have been with you for so many years, can you still trust me?"
The leader thought for a while and said, "Okay, let them go quickly and don't stay here anymore!"
The man next to him nodded quickly and shouted to the boatman: "Go away, go away!"
The boat owner immediately said to the boatman next to him: "Get off quickly!"
The boatman who received the order immediately started the cargo ship and headed downstream.
Zhang Sixi and others who were hiding in the dark finally felt relieved.
The ship was not very fast, but it was still dozens of miles away from the checkpoint just now after more than an hour!
The boatman walked out of the cabin at this moment, slowly walked into the boat, and said, "Everyone, come out and put it in a narrow place, and it's tiring to hide it!"
When Zhang Sixi and others heard his footsteps, their hearts suddenly swelled up in their throats. They were stunned when they heard this.
The boatman continued, "Please rest assured. If you want to betray you, you won't wait until this time!"
When Zhang Sixi heard this, he thought that this was the case in his heart, so he simply opened the curtain on his head, stood up, bowed to the boatman, and said, "Thank you for your rescue!"
Hearing that Zhang Sixi had already stood up, Ye Kai and others naturally had no choice but to stand up and said to the boatman: "Thank you for your rescue!"
The boatman smiled and said, "You guys are here to ask for it. There are many boatmen in this river. Maybe those passing ships may also have their eyes and ears in them. Let's talk about it first! Please!"
Ye Kai and others followed the boatman into the ship. Although the cabin was not spacious, it was much better than squatting under the cloth all the time.
After entering the warehouse, Ye Kai asked the boatman: "I have been with you for a lifetime, and I don't know why you want to help me."
The boatman smiled and said, "You and I have always had a taste of beauty, but this is not important. You just need to know that I am not your enemies."
Ye Kai and Zhang Sixi looked at each other, but the other party was unwilling to say it, so it was natural that they could not ask questions from others. Ye Kai could only say: "That's more than thank you for your rescue!"
The boat owner said: "You're welcome, my boat's destination is Suzhou. You can arrive in Suzhou together next!"
Ye Kai said in surprise: "Did this ship arrive in Suzhou?"
The boatman nodded and said, "That's right, but the enemy has many eyes and ears along the way, so you still have to act carefully. If you can reach safely, it's naturally best. If you can't arrive safely, you may have to get off the boat early on this halfway!"
Ye Kai nodded and said, "We know this, we will never implicate you!"
The boatman nodded slightly and shouted: "Come here!"
After a while, a boatman walked in with a big pot and placed it on the table. Suddenly, a stream of meat fragrance came. When he unbuttoned the pot, he saw that there were some rice and other things inside. The boatman quickly folded it back and sent some dishes and chopsticks in.
The boatman said: "Please use it for everyone!"
Ye Kai looked at the food in front of him in surprise. It was just now that the food was steaming. It was obvious that he should have just prepared it. In other words, he had known that he and his group were hiding on the boat. In addition, there was another point. Did he already know that he and his group were hiding in the mountains, and what they usually lacked the most was food.
Zhang Sixi felt even more strange. Could it be that this was just a coincidence?
By chance, the ship had just withdrawn from the guardian docks, and then the ship arrived, and they were sure that they would hide on the ship?
As a Qianhu of the Jinyiwei, Zhang Sixi did not believe in the so-called coincidence. The only explanation was that his whereabouts seemed to be hidden. In fact, his actions were all in the eyes of others, but he and others did not notice them at all!
The Jinyiwei was originally collecting intelligence. If the other party was so good, then the ability to collect intelligence was no less than that of the Jinyiwei. In other words, if the other party was not the Jinyiwei, then there was only one, that was Zuiyu Pavilion!
It seems that I have to find an opportunity to ask carefully.
"How can I eat meat without wine? Why not just eat wine?"
The old Taoist priest was not alone and said with a smile, then handed over his empty wine gourd. He had no wine for a while, which made him greedy enough!
The boatman smiled and said, "Of course, come and have a drink!"
After a while, the wine was delivered, but Ye Kai was still a little confused and worried about whether the food was covered with poison, so he ate carefully, but the others were not afraid at all and ate and drank a lot.
After eating and drinking, everyone lay in the cabin. They were humans, not iron. The fatigue of these days seemed to surge up in an instant, and the old Taoist priests couldn't help but snore.
The first day passed so smoothly. Although there were many boats in the waterway, some places might have been set up with eyeliners, but Zhang Sixi and others were hiding in the cabins, and the people chasing them also felt that they should cross mountains and ridges to escape, so it was not actually strict to stare at the waterway, and there was no problem on the first day!
At night, even if you are in a hurry, the boat dares not sail, so naturally there is only a place to dock. Since there is a boat to dock, there are naturally piers and so on.
Ye Kai and others were a little nervous at this moment. After all, if someone checked the pier, wouldn’t he be exposed?
However, the ship owner was very calm and said, "You can rest assured that there was no one checking the pier ahead. Otherwise, the boat would not be docked here. Although the boat was dangerous at night, it was not that no one did it, and there was no need to worry about being noticed by someone. But you were only sorry for resting on the boat. Although no one checked it, it does not mean that they did not have their eyeliner on the pier."
It seemed that nothing happened during this day. Ye Kai and others nodded and stayed in the cabin honestly. Fortunately, it was not summer now, and the cabin was not stuffy and a little crowded, but it was acceptable.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Sixi woke up and saw that everyone else was asleep. Then he quietly got up, bent down and walked out of the cabin, and came to the stern. However, for safety, he did not stand at the stern, but hid among the cargo. In the night, if he didn't go forward and take a closer look, he wouldn't have seen anyone here at all.
After a while, the boatman came over, sat next to him, and said, "I've been waiting for a long time!"
Zhang Sixi was not too surprised, but asked, "You know I'm waiting for you!"
The boatman smiled and said, "Of course, you must have many psychological problems. If I don't explain clearly, you will also have doubts."
Zhang Sixi said, "Okay, I'm not polite. Please tell me everything you know!"
The boatman didn't say nonsense, and said directly: "I guess sir... you already know who we are?"
Zhang Sixi did not answer directly and said, "Old friend?"
Chuanjia said: "Yes, the old friend of Hangzhou is also the old friend of my lady."
The head of Zuiyu Pavilion is Hangzhou. As for the lady in the boat, it is naturally Shang Qianfei.
Zhang Sixi immediately understood it. It seemed that they were indeed from Zuiyu Pavilion, so he said, "When did you pay attention to me?"
Chuanjia said: "When you left the capital, we were ordered to protect us secretly. After all, you are the old friend of the lady and the son-in-law."
Zhang Sixi said: "Then you all followed us secretly along the way, and you know our actions well?"
The boatman said: "Yes, the order we have received is that if you are in the worries of your life, you can only help me and not expose yourself. Although you have suffered a lot during this period, you have not had worries of your life, so we have not taken action. Please forgive me."
Zhang Sixi said, "It's nothing, you can understand this. Well, that old Taoist priest is yours?"
In fact, Zhang Sixi was also very confused. Why was Zuiyu Pavilion very familiar with the movements of him and others. It was obviously not enough to just send someone to monitor outside. If you were not careful, you would be discovered by Ye Kai and others, and you might be considered as the person chasing them. The only possibility is that the people from Zuiyu Pavilion were hidden among them. In the entire team, that is, he and the old Taoist priest are not from the escort agency. In addition, except for Ye Kai and the person who may be Hou Yu's son, the other three were also from the escort agency, which was also possible among them. The reason why they were definitely old Taoist priests was that in addition to themselves, he was not at all prepared for the food sent by the boatman. It seemed that he was very sure that there was no poison in the food.
So Zhang Sixi can confirm that this old Taoist priest is from Zuiyu Pavilion.
The boatman seemed to have no intention of hiding Zhang Sixi and nodded, "Yes! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't know your next plan, nor would we plan it at the appropriate time to let the boat dock on the dock."
The plans of Zhang Sixi and others are full of randomness. After all, there are only seven people in the group, so there is no need for external cooperation. Therefore, it is very difficult for Zuiyu Pavilion to adjust its plans according to their changes in plans at any time. First, the ship has to go through several docks from the upstream. There are people at this dock, so the entire ship will face the situation of being questioned. When they are questioned, they must not find any flaws, which means that the person questioning must think that this ship is a very ordinary cargo ship.
In addition, it is the time to dock at the dock. They have to dock at the dock at the right time, and then spend a night waiting for Zhang Sixi and others to board the ship. Of course, if the target of Zhang Sixi and others is not this ship, as an insider, the old Taoist priest would also find a way to get on the ship without doubt.
It seems to be an inadvertent behavior, but behind this is the strong support of the huge intelligence agency Zuiyu Pavilion. Of course, this information has no time to send back to the headquarter, and many of it is also the decision of the leaders of this area.
In a certain way, Jinyiwei was half a colleague with Zuiyu Pavilion, so he knew very well that the efforts of many people needed, so he nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
As he said that, he was about to get up and enter the cabin. However, the boatman asked, "Don't you need to know anything else?"
Zhang Sixi thought about it and knew that what he should be talking about Hou Yu's son, and said, "I came out now, but not in my original identity, but in my own identity. Otherwise, I can go straight to Suzhou with great fanfare. Why should I be chased and hiding like now? In other words, my current task is to ensure that the things arrive in Suzhou smoothly. I don't want to care about other things, and I feel that there is no need to care about them."
Chuanjia said: "The people who chased them are Yan Song's people. In short, the imperial court now also lists them as imperial prisoners."
Zhang Sixi said: "Then aren't their whereabouts being bought by many people? You can sell the news to others and make it better!"
Chuanjia said: "Although we do business, some businesses do not mean to take over. Although Hou Yu is not a fair official, he was framed and took the blame. We can't help others, at least we can't add any harm, so we turn a blind eye. But you are different from us?"
Zhang Sixi asked back, "What's the difference between us? Did you ask me to be wronged for him? Don't forget what I am. From the first day of its establishment to now, are there still few people who have died at our hands for the same purpose? There are countless dignitaries and nobles among them. And the most important point is that this does not involve party disputes such as the court, so we will not intervene at all. If we want to intervene, do you think you still need to tell me?"
Zhang Sixi's identity is the Jinyiwei. He fabricated evidence and arrested people to prison. That is the strength of the Jinyiwei. In comparison, Yan Shifan's false accusation of Hou Yu was just a pediatric department. In addition, Hou Yu is just an inconspicuous official in Nanjing. In the eyes of Jinyiwei, he is also optional. Therefore, the Jinyiwei will not make a fuss with Yan Shifan for him. Unless one day, the Jinyiwei will have to deal with Yan Shifan, then this is a piece of evidence.
