Willing To Be a Minister For the Princess Dress - Chapter 60
After asking about the Xiuchundao, Shenfu and the others knew that the boat was carrying good things.
Taxes and banks in the Jiangnan area this year are on this ship.
The state of Zhao’s corruption is serious, and there are family members who deceive and lie, and the annual tax revenue is pitiful, but that is for a country, the rich in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the geese pass the plucking, they will be taken away from them. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is also an extremely astonishing wealth.
There are not many people embroidering spring knives on the boat, except for a few, there is only one master.
His surname is He, He Yuanwu, tall and thin, with high bulging temples, and his footsteps lightly like a wild cat when he walks. He was once a famous master in the rivers and lakes, but he was cut off by his enemy, so he joined The embroidered spring knife.
Today he still uses a knife, but with a left-handed knife.
The boat quickly reached a piece of water.
Tonight, the moon has only a shallow line, and there are not many stars. The sparse rays of light on the surface of the river appear to be exceptionally lonely, and the dark night sky makes the lanterns on the ship extraordinarily bright.
During the day, the waterway is very lively.
The voices of the merchant ships and people fishing can be heard everywhere.
At night, the water was quiet and terrible.
The singing of cicadas and birds on the shore became less clear when they reached the ship.
He Yuanwu and Shen Fu were drinking on the deck.
“I heard that Shen Shuangdao’s swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, and I have been aware of it for a long time, and I only hope that one day I can learn it.”
“Master He is humble. When it comes to swordsmanship, the reputation of being a gentle knife is louder than anyone else.”
Shen Fu blinked his eyes and raised the wine glass in his hand jokingly: “It is said that a gentle knife is the most gentle, and how many teenagers swim to the death. The reputation of Master He, even today, is still thunderous!”
He Yuanwu laughed, “It’s all from the past, I didn’t expect Shen Shuangdao to remember it.”
When he laughed, the scar on his face twitched and looked terrifying.
But from his tall brow bones and deep eye sockets, it is not difficult to get a glimpse of his handsome face when he was young.
He should have been a very romantic figure.
If he hadn’t had the stab in the arm back then, maybe he would live a completely different life now.
The night is already very deep.
Except for a few sailors, most of the people on the ship went to sleep.
Fan You wanted to guard, followed by Shen Fu, and yawned a few times at the end, but she had no choice but to go to bed with Zhang Rongrong. Only Shen Fu and He Yuanwu were still on the deck.
The two of them drank a few small dishes, chatted about the old things, and talked about it, it was a joy.
In the room, Fan You, who was half asleep, suddenly moved her ears, yawned, and got up from the bed.
Her actions awakened Zhang Rongrong, who was dozing off at the table, “coming?”
Fan You knelt on the bed and pressed her ears to the wall. After listening intently for a while, he nodded to Zhang Rongrong affirmatively and said, “Here!”
Zhang Rongrong picked up her knife and walked quickly to the door.
She opened the door abruptly, and a creak was particularly loud in the dark, making the person who had just slipped out of her door quietly been taken aback.
“Miss Zhang, it’s so late, what are you doing out?”
The person who was frightened quickly adjusted his expression and asked first with a puzzled expression on his face.
Zhang Rongrong doesn’t have the slightest talent for acting. Looking at Ms. Jiang’s eyes, she asked unceremoniously, “I should ask you this? It’s midnight, Ms. Jiang wants to Where are you going?”
Ms. Jiang’s face blushed slightly, she lowered her head, and said a little awkwardly: “I, I drank too much water during the day, and my stomach was swollen, so I wanted to come out at night to make it easier…”
Fan You poked her head out of the door, “It’s not safe to go at night. There is a toilet in our room. If Miss Jiang doesn’t mind, please come in and use ours.”
Miss Jiang said: “How embarrassing is this…”
She looked at the two people in front of her, knowing that most of her strategy had been seen through, and her hand hanging in the shadow caught something that had fallen from her sleeve.
Zhang Rongrong and her are still several steps away.
Even if she noticed her movement, she was powerless to stop it.
Ms. Jiang made a good calculation, but missed a little——
Zhang Rongrong raised her hand and flicked the knife in her hand at Miss Jiang’s hand.
The knife slammed into Miss Jiang’s hand, so that she exclaimed in pain, and then bounced back. When she was about to fall to the ground, Zhang Rongrong, who was quick-eyed, caught her in her hand.
She kicked the things wrapped in oil paper on the ground in Fan You’s direction.
Coldly said: “Miss Jiang, please.”
Fan You used the skills she learned throughout her life to tie Ms. Jiang firmly.
I don’t know where she learned these messy things. In short, Zhang Rongrong looked at the knot on Miss Jiang’s body, and the corners of her mouth twitched again and again.
Being arrested, death is approaching, and Ms. Jiang is still trying to persuade them.
She claimed to be threatened by the water bandits, and then she agreed to board the official boat, be a spy for the water bandits, and drug the people on the boat.
She also said that she couldn’t complete the task, and there must be only one dead end. I hope that Zhang Rongrong and Fan You can spare him his life after seeing that she has not done any unforgivable wrong.
Zhang Rongrong was basically about to be moved.
“Are you really the merchant lady on the robbed merchant ship?”
The woman claiming to be Jiang Wan’er smiled sadly, “If I tell a lie, I will have someone behead my head. If I’m not really forced to a desperate situation, which woman is willing to do such a thing? I really can’t help it. …”
“My younger brother is still in the hands of the water bandit. He is now the only seedling in my Jiang family. If something happens to him, I will be really shameless to face the dead father and mother. If it weren’t for the water bandit to kidnap my younger brother, I am a weak woman, and I can’t do such a bold thing…”
Zhang Rongrong said: “She sounds really pitiful. How about we intercede with Afu…”
Fan You yawned and hugged her own quilt and said, “Is she pitiful, so I’m not pitiful? Besides, these things she said are just plain words. I don’t care whether she is pitiful, and I’ll talk about it when Sister Afu comes back.”
“Otherwise, let’s let her go. It’s very uncomfortable to tie her up like this. She doesn’t know how to martial arts and can’t threaten us.”
Fan You’s eyes widened, and she stared at Zhang Rongrong, “If you continue to be kind and do something stupid, I will throw you out of the boat into the river to feed the fish. Believe it or not? You must not be harmful. I don’t know if she is really innocent. What happened to her all night when she was tied up? She couldn’t die. She swam through the waterway so far. Are you afraid of being **** for a while? Besides, you Didn’t you hear what she was talking about?”
“She is going to poison us! You also heard her saying what kind of people the water bandits are like, men kill, women tortured, is it possible that you want to be a wife to suppress the village? If you like it, I will ask someone to send you there right away.”
Zhang Rongrong’s **** head was scolded.
At the same time, he woke up, surprised how easily he believed Jiang Wan’er’s words, and apologized to Fan You again and again.
“It was my fault…”
Just as she was about to say something, suddenly there was a hacking sound outside.
Jin Tiejiaoming’s voice was very urgent, and Zhang Rongrong hurriedly said, “It sounds like a lot of people, otherwise I will go up and help!”
“Don’t!” Fan You, who was originally tired, suddenly became sober. She sat up, listening to her ears, staring at the door, and after a while, she said to Zhang Rongrong, “You just guard at the door, don’t go out. Since Sister Afu asked us to stay inside, she must have her own intentions. If you go out and say you can’t make trouble, it will ruin her plan.”
“Ms. Zhang, Ms. Zhang, although I don’t know what plans you have, the water bandits are not friendly. Have you ever heard of the name of the eighteen water ghosts? Among the water bandits coming tonight, There are at least half of the water ghosts.”
“Before boarding the ship, some water bandits once told me that they have investigated the manpower on the ship and they absolutely cannot cope with them. They sent me here just to add more money and provide some protection. In fact, I am not me. It’s the same for them… as long as you let them board the ship, you don’t have to think about it.”
“Two girls, listen to me, if you have any abilities, just use it, the water bandit’s ability is definitely more powerful than you two imagined…”
“What water ghosts are not water ghosts, the name sounds unlucky.” Fan You was upset when he heard that, pulled out his socks, and put them directly into Jiang Wan’er’s hands. Turning his head to look around, she saw Zhang Rongrong muttering to herself. Yu said, “I’m going to help, I’m going to help…”
Her little brow furrowed.
Not quite right.
Without hesitation, Fan You picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water into the cup, and poured her head on Zhang Rongrong’s face.
Zhang Rongrong, who was splashed with water, shivered all over, and suddenly woke up, “Why are you splashing me?”
Fan You said: “Didn’t you tell you to stay honestly? Where are you going?”
Zhang Rongrong said: “The water bandit above is very powerful, I want to go up and help.”
Fan You said: “How do you know that water bandits are powerful?”
Zhang Rongrong: “I…”
She wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn’t remember a word.
Fan You turned his head, staring straight at Jiang Wan’er, and asked, “What did you do to her?”
Jiang Wan’er was gagged, unable to speak, she could only shake her head desperately.
Her eyes were filled with crystal tears. If it were a man, she would have felt softened at this time.
But Fan You just tilted his head, and said inadvertently, “Big Dream Bible?”
Sure enough, Jiang Wan’er’s pupils shrank.
If she hadn’t been staring at Jiang Wan’er’s expression, I am afraid she would not have noticed this subtle change.
Fan You let out a cry and said to Zhang Rongrong, “It seems we have caught a big fish.”
