Chapter 1200

The two boatmen hurriedly lifted the long plank over and set it up from the bow to the dock shore. At this time, Zhang Shi and Shopkeeper Hu had already come closer, scrambling to run towards the plank. Shopkeeper Hu was short and fat.

He was not as agile as Zhang Shi, and before he stepped onto the ship's deck, he was squeezed behind him by Zhang Shi. He cursed secretly in his heart and could only watch Zhang Shi running onto the ship's deck.

However, the plank of the ship was hanging in the air. When the two boatmen lowered the plank, they were in a hurry, causing one end of the plank that was resting on the shore to hit a stone. As a result, the plank of the ship tilted slightly to the right. Zhang Shi panicked.

Zhang Di ran onto the ship's deck, and as soon as he took two steps, his body tilted to the right. He didn't know martial arts, so he felt his body tilt and panicked in his heart. He could no longer stand and fell into the sea.

Shopkeeper Hu was squeezed behind Zhang Shi, and he scolded all eight generations of Zhang Shi's ancestors in his heart. When he saw Zhang Shi fell off the boat, he laughed out loud with gloating. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly,

He suppressed his laughter and carefully boarded the ship. When he saw Zhang Shi fell into the sea, he was already on guard, so when he boarded the ship, he walked fairly smoothly.

The two boatmen on the boat were shocked when they saw Zhang Shi falling into the sea. Qin Laowu and Zhang Shi had been doing business in partnership for many years. The two boatmen were also quite familiar with Zhang Shi and received a lot of rewards from him.

We have a good friendship. Although Shopkeeper Hu and others have also hired Qin Laowu's boat, they were introduced by Zhang Shi and were not familiar with the two boatmen. Moreover, Shopkeeper Hu and others, although wealthy, are extremely stingy and treat several

The boatman has always been bossy, so the boatmen under Qin Laowu were quite disgusted with Shopkeeper Hu and others. When they saw Zhang Shi falling into the sea, the two boatmen immediately released their hands holding the board of the boat. One boatman was in a hurry.

He took off his clothes, jumped up into the sea, and jumped into the sea. Another boatman stood on the bow of the boat, looking nervously at Zhang Shi, who was struggling in the sea.

As soon as the two boatmen let go, the uneven plank became even more skewed. At this time, shopkeeper Hu had just taken three or four steps on the plank when he felt the plank tremble violently under his feet.

He was in a panic. The ship's plank couldn't bear the strength, and it immediately turned over to the left. Shopkeeper Hu wanted to turn around and retreat to the shore, but there was no time. He heard him shouting for help, but his body fell into the sea along with the ship's plank. There was a "plop" sound.

, Shopkeeper Hu has fallen into the sea.

When another boatman saw Shopkeeper Hu falling into the water, he secretly cheered. At this moment, Qin Laowu also ran to the shore. He pointed at Shopkeeper Hu who was struggling in the water and looked at the man standing on the bow of the boat gloating about the fun.

The boatman said angrily: "Damn it, why don't you go into the water to save people?!"

The boatman did not dare to disobey Qin Laowu's order, so he hurriedly took off his clothes, jumped into the sea, swam to the struggling shopkeeper Hu, and dragged him to the shore. At this time, another boatman

Zhang Shi had been pushed to the shore. Qin Laowu squatted on the shore, stretched out his hand to drag Zhang Shi ashore first, and then helped another boatman to drag Shopkeeper Hu ashore. The two boatmen worked together to fish the ship plank out of the sea.

came out and carefully climbed onto the bow of the boat.

Zhang Shi and Shopkeeper Hu collapsed on the shore, breathing heavily. Seeing the two of them looking like this, Qin Laowu felt angry and amused, and said, "Uncle Zhang, Shopkeeper Hu, that group of people didn't come after them.

There’s no need to panic, let’s get on the boat quickly.”

The two boatmen helped Zhang Shi and Shopkeeper Hu up, and stabilized the ship's board. They watched the two people walk onto the bow, and then followed Qin Laowu to board the ship. At this time, Li Qiufeng was already on the bow.

Zhang Shi and Shopkeeper Hu helped them to the boat. They saw Qin Laowu and two boatmen boarding the boat. They were about to ask what happened when they heard Qin Laowu say to the two boatmen: "You guys put the planks of the boat together."

Tow it back to the ship, and then guard the bow. If anyone chases us, we will pull anchor and set sail immediately."

Li Qiufeng was startled, and when he saw Qin Laowu turning around with a look of horror on his face, he immediately asked: "Brother Qin Wu, what happened?"

Before Qin Laowu could answer, Shopkeeper Hu, who was standing aside and panting, said angrily: "We were fooled by the bastard named Wei! Wangjiazhuang is a fucking den of bandits, and we were almost killed by those bandits.

Beat to death!"

Li Qiufeng was startled and was about to speak when he heard Qin Laowu say: "I see that those villagers don't look like bandits, but they are very arrogant. The bastard named Wei also received two sticks, I'm afraid he was seriously injured. If he

I want to see a doctor, but the thirty taels of silver I gave him may not be enough."

Li Qiufeng listened to the two people talking, but the more he listened, the more confused he became. He didn't know what happened. However, when Qin Laowu mentioned Wei Erbao, there was a sense of gloating in his words. While he was confused, he heard Zhang

Shi Shi said: "The guy surnamed Wei is just bragging. Mr. Wang doesn't know him at all. Otherwise, the gatekeeper Zhuang Ding will never attack us. We might as well prepare all the gifts and visit him in a dignified manner. I want to come to Mr. Wang."

I won’t fall out."

Li Qiufeng said to Zhang Shi: "Executive member Zhang, what happened? Why are you all so embarrassed?"

Zhang Shi sighed and was about to speak when he heard the sound of footsteps and it was Xiao Dong walking out of the cabin. Zhang Shi said: "Master Xiao is here just in time. I'm afraid this matter is a bit tricky."

Xiao Dong heard a commotion on the deck in the cabin and hurriedly walked out to see what was going on. Only then did Zhang Shi tell the story of going to Wangjiazhuang. It turned out that he, shopkeeper Hu, and Qin Laowu followed Wei Erbao ashore after

, passed through the dirty and messy houses outside the dock, crossed the stone bridge, and headed straight to the north of the city. Shopkeeper Hu was a little frightened when he thought of what happened last night. Fortunately, there were many people on the street in broad daylight, and his

The fear slowly dissipated. The four of them walked north until they left the north gate and walked along the official road for more than three miles. They saw a village not far away from the road with about a hundred houses.

neat.

Wei Erbao led the three of them straight towards the village. When the four of them reached the entrance of the village, they saw two tall willow trees standing on both sides of the road. The hanging branches were like a woman's long hair, almost covering the entire road. The two tall willow trees were like a woman's long hair.

An idle man was standing on the roadside chatting. When he saw four people walking into the village, he just glanced at them lazily and then went to talk to himself.

After the four people walked into the village, they saw a straight road extending straight. The houses on both sides were made of wood. They faced each other and looked almost the same. As Qin Laowu walked, he looked around and said, "Are these houses all the same?"

Were they built by the same group of people? They are so similar that if an outsider entered the village, they would probably get lost if they walked not far away."

Wei Erbao laughed and said: "Originally, there was only Wang Yuanwai's family here. After he became prosperous, he brought his relatives and friends from the pass and lived here. In order to make everyone feel fair, all the houses in the village were built in the same look."

Shopkeeper Hu curled his lips and said disdainfully: "I don't believe that this king can have such kind intentions. Unless the house he lives in is like these houses, I will believe that he is indeed like Yao and Shun."

Wei Erbao said: "Wang Yuan's mansion outside is naturally different from these houses. He is a rich man in Dongliao County, and there are only a few people outside the pass who are richer than him. Therefore, his house is naturally much more elegant.

.”

The four of them chatted and unknowingly walked half a mile away. Zhang Shi said: "This village is so big. If they are all relatives other than the king, then his power here should not be underestimated."

Wei Erbao smiled and said: "This gentleman is right. This large area of ​​land is owned by Wang Yuanwai. There are more than 300 households in the village and a population of more than 2,000 people. It is larger than several large towns outside Dongliao County.

Most of the people in the village have the surname Wang, and they respect Yuan Wang as their most respected member. In our Dongliao County, some people may not know the county magistrate’s surname. But when it comes to Yuan Wang, everyone knows and knows..."

As soon as Wei Erbao finished speaking, Qin Laowu sneered and said, "Shopkeeper Wei, I would like to ask you, what is the surname of this member Wang?"

Wei Erbao was startled, and after a moment, an embarrassed look appeared on his face, and he was mumbling and speechless.

When Qin Laowu saw Wei Erbao like this, he felt proud and was about to tease him a few more words. Zhang Shi was afraid that Wei Erbao would become angry because of shame, so he met Wang Yuanwai.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he rushed to say: "Shopkeeper Wei is really an honest man. We are new here, and we don't know the name of the king. If shopkeeper Wei just fabricates a name and says it, we won't be suspicious. Old Qin

, Shopkeeper Wei is so sincere in helping us, you should get closer to him more."
