After more than a month, I saw the vast water of Qingjiang again.

It is called a ferry crossing, but it looks like a small town, with inns, teahouses and restaurants available.

There are places where wealthy merchants go, and there are tea stalls for coolie porters to rest.

A large thick porcelain bowl scoops tea directly from the bucket, and a bowl of tea was spent every penny. After the strong man carrying the goods on the dock finished drinking the tea, he shook his arms and went to work again.

The streets are not neat and some debris are discarded.

People who drink coarse tea sit along the roadside, and people who are holding the accents of the world come and go. There is a strange smell in the air, which is the smell of sweat, bad wine, cattle, horses and animals, and various goods mixed together.

This smell is naturally not good. Many managers of large businesses get off the boat with their noses covered.

However, the people on the wharf have long been used to it, and they are divided into several gangs. This kind of "gang" is for the sake of making a living. The poor laborers do not want to work in vain and do not want to be bullied by those businesses. They become one of the ropes. Over time, this gang has become a local gang at the ferry crossing of the wharf.

The docks where official ships and merchant ships dock are different. They are distributed east and west on both sides of the town.

Next to the West Wharf used by merchant ships, there is a specially separated water bay. More than a dozen large and small ships are moored. This is the Qingjiang Ferry.

There seems to be a world of difference between hiring a boat and hiking a boat. The pier is orderly, but the ferry is in chaos.

The carriage was far away and could not get through. There were people waiting for the ferry everywhere. The loads carried and the baskets they carried were piled on the side of the road, and there were live chickens and ducks. The rattled screams added a bit of chaos.

Lu Min was stunned and was holding a horse whip and didn't know what to do. A thin black man wrapped in a towel on his head came over and asked in the Guanzhong dialect near Gyeonggi: "Does this car be on the boat?"

Lu Min couldn't react for a while, and the thin black man grinned and changed into a fluent official speech, "Do you want to get on the ferry? You have to take a big boat. You are late. You have to go to the ferry before dawn, otherwise the road will be blocked! There are too many people here who want to cross the river. If you can't get behind, you can't get on the boat even in the evening."

Lu Min didn't know why this person was chatting with him at first, but he showed a complicated expression as he listened.

Before Mo Li could talk to Meng Qi, the scholar had already lifted the curtain of the car and said with a stern face: "Ten Wen, there is no more."

The thin black man's face changed when he heard his Taijing accent. The kind-hearted look with a smile disappeared without a trace. He stretched out his hand and said, "It's a person who costs ten cents, and I'll take you there immediately."

"Twenty quotations, I'll find someone else if I have more!" The scholar took out a string of copper coins and threw them over.

The thin black man lowered his face and stared at the scholar.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and the thin black man finally snorted and put the copper coins in his arms, and said angrily: "I'm unlucky, come here." After saying that, he walked towards the merchant ship dock next to him, Lu Min was still a little confused, and Mo Li had already vaguely understood.

“Is this a routine?”

People with high martial arts skills have good eyesight.

It turned out that the larger ferry was parked at the merchant ship dock. They neither took guests nor shouted. Anyone who brought a lot of luggage or drove a carriage and horse would have to pay a sum of money to a local snake like the thin black man, otherwise they would not even be able to find the ferry.

The scholar nodded and sighed in a low voice: "I heard that this was not the case in my early years."

Lu Minqi said: "Since you know the key points inside, wouldn't we just go directly to the dock?"

The scholar glanced at him and thought to himself, where did the second lance came from? Don’t you know how to look around?

"Do you think he is alone? The idle man wandering around here, the coolie on the dock... As long as you force yourself to break through, you will immediately know how many people there are. In the end, you will have to pay for everyone! What can you do, report to the official?"

Although there are several ferry crossings outside the capital, this is the most important place.

Someone here blackmailed the people, and the officials who are in charge of the ferry and docks will know nothing. To the east of the town is the dock used by officials and ships. There are small officials on duty all year round. The town is so big, it would be strange if you don’t know!

"... Even if the officials here accept the benefits, they can go to Taijing Prefecture and the Cao Transportation Department!" Lu Min thought to himself, if it really doesn't work, he can still write a letter to the eldest brother!

Then he thought, the eldest brother was busy with all his life, how could he have something to do? Lu Min subconsciously looked at Meng Qi, and looked eager to try it out, as if he still wanted to do this, and then those people were beaten down by the national teacher.

Meng Qi saw through his thoughts at a glance and glanced at him with a smile.

The second prince shrank his neck and muttered: "What should I keep such a greedy villain who bullies the market?"

"It's not as simple as asking for money now." Mo Li suddenly said.

Before Lu Min could react, Mr. Jinshui had changed his face and quickly looked around.

The coolies squatting on the roadside looked at the car intentionally or unintentionally, and several people who looked like businessmen happened to pass by. The "leading business" of the dock gang was very prosperous. In addition to the thin black men on their side, several other teams rushed to the ferry parked next to the dock.

The scholar saw that everyone was suspicious, and his hands holding the wall of the car began to tremble.

Lu Min hurriedly asked, "Doctor Mo, what's going on? Could it be that there is a bad person?"

Mo Li stared at the back of the thin black man and nodded slowly.

Meng Qi discovered it earlier than Mo Li, but he did not remind him. He signaled Lu Min to hide in the car, and then naturally watched Mo Li change his seat and sit next to the shaft. After all, the carriage is so big that it can only accommodate two people in the car. It is difficult to turn around if there is one more.

"When did the doctor find out?" Meng Qi leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"He was greeting people all the way, and he seemed very nervous, as if he was looking for something..."

Mo Li did not push Meng Qi away, but from a distance it looked like the two of them were whispering.

The atmosphere around immediately changed subtly, and several people looked over vigilantly, as if staring at them.

"Get out of the car...I want to get off." The scholar said with a pale face.

"It's too late." Meng Qi turned his head and looked into the car and smiled, "If it was for you, even if you got off the carriage, they wouldn't let us go."

After saying that, Meng Qi felt an internal force "punching" his waist.

Mo Li looked solemn, Meng Qi immediately changed his words: "Mr. Jinshui doesn't need to worry. As the saying goes, if you do too much trouble, you will always fall apart. If they dare to do something, I can let them be a new person."

To be a human again, it is naturally to be reincarnated.

The scholar's pale face became even more ugly. He looked at Meng Qi in fear, thinking that this was a thief who killed people without blinking.

Mo Li: "…"

I couldn't help but poke it a second time.

You can't speak well, and you have to scare people?

The reason for poking the waist is that this external internal force is condensed by the fingers. The black carp is sitting on the shaft of the carriage, and the closest place to the finger is naturally someone's waist and abdomen.

The two sat side by side, and Meng Qi's right waist became the most convenient target.

When Mo Li was a "child", Mr. Qin took him on the mountain road.

As long as he felt that there was danger in front of him, Qin Lu would release his internal force to block the child in time, and the force was very light. Later, Mo Li had his junior brother Tang Xiaotang, and he learned to remind his junior brother in the same way without any instruction. Whenever Xiao Tang was lying and lying, Mo Li would pat him, usually pat his back.

This is the first time I used a poke.

Maybe it was because of the lingering impression of the fat mouse, he was round, fat, and soft, so he wanted to poke it.

Meng Qi, who was inexplicably hit by the third stroke, looked up in confusion.

The first time he was blamed for not saying it clearly, which made Mr. Jinshui think that he had implicated them. The second time he was blamed for being so scary, but why was the third time? This time he didn't say anything?

"Cough." Mo Li couldn't explain that he was addicted to it, so he gave it a little more. He calmly regarded all of this as never before, and comforted Mr. Jinshui, "Can your enemies bribe the people here at the dock?"

The scholar shook his head in disbelief, then nodded.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Lu Min got angry and couldn't help but frown.

"I... although I know that those people won't give up, but..."

Shusheng gritted his teeth and refused to reveal the details.

Lu Min was angry and was about to ask, but Meng Qi stopped him and said, "Okay, he won't say it, maybe he is afraid of implicating us."

——Well, I wasn't poked this time.

Meng Qi was refreshed, but on the surface he was still lazy. He tentatively tentatively: "Maybe it is a secret that cannot be told, and anyone who knows it will be troublesome."

The scholar said with a little suspicion and shame, "That's right, I chose to leave Beijing in a hurry on the day of the Spring Festival. I was also hiding from them, but I didn't expect..."

At this time, the carriage had passed through the open area, and the high-rise goods were enough to block the sight of people in the distance. People were walking through the rockery covered with rockery, and they often heard the sound and could not see the figure.

The carriage turned a corner, and five people immediately jumped out of the pile of goods.

Some grabbed the reins of the horse, and some took the lead in taking the horse that was brought behind the carriage away. Two people surrounded the carriage with wooden sticks, leaving the tall man with three-black eyes kicked the wheel hard.

Then kicked it out.

The car was clearly there, and for some reason, his feet were a little bit away from the wheel. The man with three-eyed eyes was unstable and fell over. If the person next to him hadn't been able to hold him fast, his forehead would have hit the car.

The thin black man who led the way almost laughed, but fortunately he covered his mouth in time.

"It's funny?" The man with three eyes raised his foot and wanted to kick the thin black man again.

The latter ran fast, avoided it and then begged for mercy: "Mr. Cha, please forgive me, how dare you, young?"

The black and thin man glanced at Mo Li quickly, paused and smiled apologized: "These are all foreigners. I don't know the reputation of Master Cha. Maybe he accidentally touched someone he shouldn't touch. Look--"

"Is this your part to speak? Get out of here!"

“Yes, yes!”

The thin black man nodded and bowed, his expression was staggering, and his eyes were filled with shock and worry.

"Interesting." Meng Qi raised his eyebrows.

This sound was so low that only Mo Li could hear it. Doctor Mo was puzzled when he looked at the thin black man and had never known each other. Since he brought them into a trap, why did he ask for love again?

The thin black man was slow to leave, and the few people shouted angrily: "What are you doing? You still want to stay and get kicked by Master Cha?"

"No, look... I've caught a lot of people on the docks a while ago. I don't know why, but those are all scholars. Brothers from the Qingsnake Gang make a living here. Just one word from Cha, we have to work hard to go to the sea of ​​fire, but there are still people in the brothers' house waiting for dinner, all of whom have families. If you don't give me a word, your brothers will be in their hearts."

The man with three-blank eyes tilted him sideways and asked sarcastically: "Is this what your gang leader means?"

"How can it be? The leader of the gang has a vision, I don't understand! He doesn't dare to disturb him. That's what I mean, no, I mean..."
To be continued...
