Qinghu Lake is vast and has been known as the 800-mile Qinghu Lake since ancient times.
However, at this time, there was mist on the lake and visibility was very low.
Lao Mo explained: "It has been the foggy season recently, and it has always been like this. However, it does not affect navigation. The brothers are almost familiar with it."
"But because of this, the recent generation of water bandits is more powerful."
Water bandits?
Lin Bai looked surprised.
Lao Mo nodded, "I heard that many of them are nearby fishermen who can't survive. They are just making small fuss, and large merchant ships basically dare not move."
"You only dare to go out for activities during the foggy season. With such visibility, it is easy for officers and soldiers to escape when they come."
"So far, Veteran Logistics has not encountered this."
Lin Bai nodded.
It is not easy for people in this era to live, with low productivity and various taxes. Once they can no longer survive, they will just fall into the grass.
Those who enter the mountains become mountain bandits, and those who go down the river become water bandits.
Speaking of which, he and the bandits are quite destined. They won't run into each other again this time, right?
Bah bah bah! !
With a crow's mouth, Lin Bai spat three times.
Although the bandits are giving away benefits, forget it! Madam, it’s better to catch it by yourself, why don’t you let bandits give it to you all the time?
You are a good bandit, you can't let others act like a lei feng all the time!
Fortunately, the crow's beak did not come true, and the journey was calm. However, we encountered many ships on the road, including fishing boats, merchant ships, painting boats, etc.
In addition, there are also water transport officers and soldiers called water bidders, who check at check points, which seems to be quite strict.
But there were also quite a few boats running unimpeded.
Lao Mo explained: "This is true for all those with big backgrounds. Basically, they are not investigated. When they are investigated, they turn a blind eye. For example, Wuzhou Trading and Dakang Trading are not investigated at all."
"Ordinary ships are not only inspected, but also stuffed with money."
In this way, the Wuzhou traders and traders who trafficked Tianzhu hemp did not run away, with such good conditions.
It just depends on whether we can find any clues.
after one day.
The ship finally arrived at Yanzhou Pier.
Yanzhou is named after salt. It has been a land of salt production since ancient times with developed waterways. Beyond it is the endless ocean. The Salt Road Yamen is located here.
After getting off the boat, Xu Lingxiu said goodbye and left, making an appointment to return together in two days. Zhu Kang, the sex critic, also followed.
As soon as he left, Lao Mo and his party became obviously more nervous.
Lin Bai was speechless.
Each of these looks like they are doing something, and it must be the work of the Iron Lady.
Don't tell me, I feel warm in my heart. It feels like having these three ladies thinking about me so much when I go out...
All right! Too floaty.
Lin Bai didn't waste any time and went straight to Yandao Yamen.
I thought I would still be made things difficult, but to my surprise, after submitting the relevant documents, the Yandao Yamen did not make things difficult and released me on the same day. However, the ship was said to take a few days due to procedures and other aspects.
"Sir, is this going too smoothly?"
After leaving the Yamen, Lao Mo couldn't help but ask.
Lin Bai also frowned. It was indeed smoother than expected, but this was not a good thing. The smoother it went, the more it showed that the other party's intention was not in Yandao Yamen.
But, if not at Yandao Yamen, where else could it be?
This is very intriguing.
"Don't worry about this for now. Let the brothers settle down and let them have a good rest for a few days. After being locked up for so long, each one of them is so hungry again."
"Also, is there any news from Wuzhou Trading?"
Lao Mo shook his head, "Not yet."
This is fucked up!
He also hoped to seize the opponent's handle and completely suppress the opponent to death, but in the end there was no movement at all.
You can't blame the people below. After all, time is too short. It's not that easy to find out the movements of Wuzhou's trading ships.
But this would cause some trouble.
Intelligence is so important.
Just when Lin Bai was depressed, on the other side, Liu Jingming had also arrived in Yanzhou.
"Second Master, that boy has already gone to Yandao Yamen and been released. I believe he will be returning in the next two days."
In the box, Liu Changqing said.
Liu Jingming nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Where's the boat gang? Is everything ready?"
"Um!"
Liu Changqing replied: "Biaozi has sent the news, everything is settled, and the Boat Gang will take action. However, I am a little confused. Biaozi has brought enough people this time, why should the Boat Gang take action?"
"It's just a bunch of people. If there are too many people, things will get messed up easily."
Liu Jingming said: "You also said that Prince Ning's Mansion was behind it, and the Boat Gang was just a scapegoat. Even if everyone knows it, they must do it on the surface."
"Furthermore, that kid has a group of veterans under his command who should not be underestimated. Biaozi and the others are not good at water, but those in the boat gang are different. They are all water ghosts. If they go into the water first and dig through the bottom of the boat, Biaozi and the others may not have to take action. , just pick up the fish that slipped through the net on the edge."
"Second Master is wise!"
Liu Changqing's eyes shone brightly, "With the help of these water ghosts, we can be foolproof."
Liu Jingming sneered and said: "I can't beat him as a writer, and I can't keep up with him as a martial artist."
"By the way! Is there anything wrong with the eyeliner left by Wang Shengshui?"
Liu Changqing said: "Second Master, don't worry. That kid didn't notice anything. He is also stupid. Instead of doubting the people Wang Shengshui left behind, he put them to good use."
Liu Jingming shook his head, "I don't necessarily trust him too much. He is surrounded by newcomers. For the time being, he can only rely on these old people."
"Too!"
Liu Changqing nodded, "But it doesn't matter. We still have our own informants inside. As long as we compare the two, we can confirm whether the news is correct. So far, everything is normal."
"Um!"
Liu Jingming responded, and then asked: "Is there any movement at Caobiao and the Navy Camp?"
"Second Master, don't worry!"
Liu Changqing said, "The bidding is just to set up checkpoints, and will not go to the thankless task of suppressing bandits at all. As for the naval camp, it is subordinate to the governor of Liangjiang. If these big men have money, they may move it. Those poor guys from the boat gang, please come." They can’t be invited.”
"And we have people on both sides. If there is any news, it will come out immediately."
"good!"
Liu Jingming nodded with satisfaction, "In this way, we can truly be foolproof."
At this time, another attendant walked in, "Second Master, the goods will arrive in Yanzhou tomorrow night."
"knew!"
Liu Jingming was in a good mood and said, "When we arrive, let the brothers have a good night's rest and set off again the day after tomorrow."
"yes!"
The two people here were full of confidence. On the other side, Lin Bai was still waiting for news, but unfortunately there was no news.
It wasn't until the next day that news came, and it was still uncertain. The people below reported that there were five Wuzhou cargo ships currently sailing.
And can't determine if there is a problem.
There may be problems with one or two ships, or there may be problems with both ships. Similarly, there may be no problems with either ship.
After all, the investigation time is too short and it is difficult to determine, so you can only rely on your own judgment.
Lin Bai looked at the detailed information of the five cargo ships and was a little confused. Could it be that he wanted to draw lots?
This is fucked up.
Wait, inadvertently, he suddenly glanced at one of them, which read: Huoyun, expected to arrive in Yanzhou tonight, draft...
The draft can roughly indicate the load of the cargo ship.
wrong! This ship is much lighter than the others.
Could it be...
