Beijing.
The night is dark.
Those water thieves who survived the gunfire have been caught ashore.
Unfortunately, the cargo was partially destroyed because the ship was damaged and fell into the water, so not all of it was recovered.
Inside the cabin, in front of Han Feiyu, Zi Yan and Bi Snake, stood a man.
This man seemed to be very tall and had a simple face, like an ordinary fisherman.
But Han Feiyu and others already knew that this person was Zhang Rong, the leader of the group of water thieves.
"Zhang Rong, I heard that there used to be a Zhangjia Village in this area?" Han Feiyu stared into Zhang Rong's eyes with no expression on his face.
"Yes, I am Zhang Rong. Now I am in your hands. The rules of the world are to kill if you want, and behead if you want. It's up to you!"
Zhang Rong raised his neck and tried his best to look like a warrior who was gone and never returned.
"Originally, I wanted to save your life. Since you want to die so much, I can help you." Han Feiyu raised his eyebrows.
After saying this, Zhang Rong immediately took a deep breath and said loudly: "I don't want to die, I want to live. As long as I can live, I can do whatever you ask me to do."
Just now he looked like a strong man not afraid of death, but the next moment he said the most cowardly words in a strong and matter-of-fact tone.
"I don't want you to do anything, I just have some questions to ask you." Han Feiyu said calmly.
"I can answer, but I have something to say first. I will not betray my brothers." Zhang Rongdao.
"Would you rather die?"
"Yes, I won't do it even to the death!"
Zhang Rong was decisive.
Han Feiyu was a little surprised, Zhang Rong still had some backbone.
"I didn't ask you to betray your brothers. Besides, your brothers have been arrested. Who else can you betray?" Han Feiyu said calmly.
Zhang Rong opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, this was indeed the case.
Several of his brothers came with him, but they were all caught in one fell swoop.
"Then what do you want me to say?"
"I remember that the water transportation company has been saying for a long time that all the men who used to make a living on the river can join the company. Why don't you come?"
In fact, Han Feiyu had heard several opinions about this, but she still wanted to hear Zhang Rong's version.
"Brothers all say that the water transportation company is a man-eating monster that eats people without spitting out their bones. If anyone really believes in that, it's over."
"It is rumored that after joining the water transportation company, you will become a slave, and all the women in your family will be turned in."
Zhang Rong said with fear in his eyes.
"Who told you?" Han Feiyu just asked calmly and did not scold Zhang Rong for his absurdity.
Because Zhang Rong's statement is the most widely circulated among the several statements she received.
"I don't know where it came from in the first place. I heard it from the grandmother in the village."
Zhang Rong didn't hide anything. After all, Wang Po was not his brother.
"Who is Wang Po?"
"Wang Po is the goddess in the village. She is very efficacious and everyone in our village believes in her." Zhang Rong said.
"Okay, that's all I'm asking. Now go back and talk to your brothers. If you want to live, you have to be obedient and stop making trouble."
After Han Feiyu finished speaking, he waved his hand and had people take him down.
"I think this Wang Po is just a chess piece, and the rumors were spread intentionally." Zi Yan said.
"I think so too, but our water transportation company has no control over this matter, and we can't investigate it," Han Feiyu said.
"Have you reported it to He Si?" Zi Yan asked.
"I reported it, but the people from Hesi said that this matter should be handled by the Water Transport Department, and they can't handle it."
"Then you report it to the Water Transport Department."
"The Water Transport Department said that the local government should be in charge."
"What did the local government say?"
"They said that matters on the river should be handled by the imperial government. They have too few people and too little power to control them."
Speaking of this, Han Feiyu showed a helpless look in his eyes.
"Let me help you ask when you go back."
Zi Yan also felt a headache. Things like this kind of kicking the ball often happened in the court, but it was definitely not a matter of words to sort it out.
For example, the powers and responsibilities of the River Department and the Water Transport Department almost overlap in some aspects.
"Sister Ziyan, this matter can only be like this for the time being."
"Okay, I told you my purpose of coming in advance, haven't you forgotten it?" Zi Yan said.
"I have not forgotten, Sister Ziyan, Miss Bi She, I have prepared the person you want. It depends on whether you are satisfied or not," Han Feiyu said.
"Who is it?" Zi Yan said lightly.
"You know him, I asked him to come over." Han Feiyu said.
"Okay, come now if you can."
Zi Yan was busy with her affairs, and she accompanied Bi Snake to watch a water battle, which had already delayed a lot of things, and of course she couldn't waste any more time.
Not long after, footsteps were heard outside.
Immediately, Zi Yan saw an acquaintance striding into the cabin.
"Zheng Feilong!" Zi Yan stood up.
"Mr. Zi, we meet again. You are well." Zheng Feilong's voice was loud and deafening.
"Do you still recognize me?" Zi Yan said unexpectedly. She originally thought that a martial arts idiot like Zheng Feilong would not recognize talents.
"I can't forget it. I still remember Master Zi fighting against more than a dozen sunrise warriors. I will never forget that style." Zheng Feilong laughed heartily.
"Later, the warriors of the Sunrise Kingdom didn't come to cause trouble."
Zi Yan said he was a samurai, but he should actually be considered an assassin. At the dock, those thorns wanted to assassinate Han Feiyu.
At that time, it was Zi Yan who was made up to look like Han Feiyu.
"I was looking forward to them coming, but after that, they disappeared and never appeared again." Zheng Feilong looked depressed.
"Why are you expecting them to come?" Zi Yan feels a little strange. This assassin wants to kill people. What's the benefit of expecting them to come?
"My hands are itching. It's been a long time since I've fought with anyone." Zheng Feilong sighed.
"There are so many talented people in the water transportation company now, and many gang members from the past have joined. Are you afraid that no one will fight with you?"
Purple smoke.
"Hey, it's boring. After those people fought with me once, they were no longer willing to fight with me." Zheng Feilong said depressedly.
"Who is willing to fight with you? When the fight started, it was as if he had drunk too much wine. He was so energetic. Until the end of the agreement, you almost killed someone." At this point, Han Feiyu also felt bitter. This Zheng Feilong has had several accidents, and if something goes wrong, it's not her who has to deal with the aftermath.
"I didn't listen to you. I didn't go out to fight." Zheng Feilong smiled awkwardly, and when he said this, he was also quite embarrassed.
"It's okay now, Sister Ziyan, Miss Bi She needs people to go on a mission. You can take a few of your disciples with you," Han Feiyu said.
"Really?" Zheng Feilong's eyes lit up, he looked at Han Feiyu, then at Zi Yan, and finally at Bi Snake.
