Before he could ask the question in his mind, he heard the sound of a horn coming from far away on the river.
The two men turned around and saw several large ships, moving along the rolling river, with their white sails raised high, approaching menacingly towards Wang Suizhen's small boat!
Wang Suizhen was a little confused: "Which group of people is here? Is it the pursuers of Dongshui Academy or the Jinyi Guards?"
Wang Bo'an raised his voice and said: "Boatman, stop at the south bank immediately. This is the Jinyiwei's special purpose to catch me. As long as I get off the boat, it will be none of your business!"
The boatman was quite frightened when he saw this posture. He hurriedly turned the bow of the boat, paddled desperately, and sailed towards the south bank of the Yangtze River.
But the Jinyiwei's big boat had many sails and oars, and it came so fast. The small boat just saw the embankment on the south bank of the Yangtze River in the distance, and the big boat had already blocked the small boat!
Three warships surrounded the small boat, and a soldier used a hook sickle gun more than ten feet long to hook the small boat!
Groups of soldiers roared out of each large ship. As soon as the soldiers appeared, they drew their bows and arrows. The shining silver arrows reflected the murderous light and aimed at the boatman, Wang Boan and Wang Suizhen on the small boat. .
Then someone got on a long ladder, and a fat guard with a white face and no beard slowly walked up the long ladder from the big ship to the small boat.
Wang Bo'an snorted coldly and said: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Mr. Shi Li, the governor of Yingtian Mansion. I have heard for a long time that the governor of Shi will not come without any profit. It seems that Eunuch Liu of Xichang has invested a lot of money. , in order to catch me, even the governor of Shizhen was alerted."
Shi Lilai sneered for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said sullenly: "Wang Shouren, you and I are not in conflict with each other. You are the head of the Military Selection Department of your Ministry of War, and I am my envoy to Yingtianfu Town. Why do you Frequently write letters of impeachment against me? Say that I am corrupt, bend the law, and accept bribes? Aren't you talking nonsense? I only collected a little bit of the money that I should collect. What's wrong? Isn't it okay? Open your dog eyes and look at me, the Ming Dynasty. I have hundreds of thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty, and that official doesn’t charge money? Huh? Huh! If he doesn’t charge money, and with the meager salary from the court, isn’t this town governor so poor that he can’t even afford meat? , you have to drink porridge every day to survive the day? If I starve to death and delay the important affairs of the court, can you bear the responsibility? Huh? "
Shrilai became angrier and louder as he spoke, and finally couldn't help but pointed at Wang Boan's nose and roared.
Wang Bo'an was still very calm and said without anger or annoyance: "It is the duty of a minister to submit a letter to the emperor for discussion. You say you are not greedy much, but in the whole country, you are greedy a little, I am a little greedy, and I am a great Ming Dynasty. Aren’t all the tax dollars of the Ming Dynasty going to be corrupted by you people? The only reason why our Ming Dynasty is like this is because of you corrupt officials who think you are not very corrupt! Now, the country has been corrupted by you corrupt officials The corrupt officials have caused so many holes, the people are in dire straits and are on the verge of collapse! As the old saying goes: a dam thousands of miles away will burst in an ant nest! I only hate that I have impeached too few corrupt officials, and the charges against you are too light!"
Shrilai was not angry but smiled instead: "Hahaha, hahaha, yes, yes, your impeachment is good, your impeachment is wonderful! What a pity, what's the use?"
He waved his hands to both sides nonchalantly and arrogantly, and said with a ferocious smile: "It's a pity that the governor of the town is still working as my governor in Yingtian Mansion. Maybe I will be promoted in a few days, and you ——Now I am a prisoner of this officer, hahaha..."
Wang Bo'an sighed angrily and helplessly, and said angrily: "When the clouds clear and the fog clears, we will capture all the monsters!"
Shrilai sneered: "You don't have that chance, I'm going to kill you right now! Come on, do it for me!"
He stretched out his hand and waved, and immediately two soldiers with ghost-headed swords and iron chains jumped down and went straight to Wang Bo'an!
Wang Suizhen has been watching with cold eyes, thinking secretly about how to escape. Unfortunately, there is no way to reach the sky or the ground. He does know a little bit of water, but the water properties are far from advanced.
He is not good at water skills, and the idea of taking Wang Boan and jumping into the river to escape is not realistic, so the only way now is to escape to the south bank by boat as soon as possible. As long as they get to the shore, then Shililai will try to capture him and Wang Boan again. , it is even more difficult than reaching the sky!
When the two soldiers from the front rushed up, two sergeants jumped up from the stern of the boat. They locked the boatman with a chain and tied the boatman back into the boat by pulling the rope hanging down from the boat.
When Wang Suizhen saw that the boatman had been arrested, he secretly thought that something was wrong. He couldn't make a sail or drive a boat. If the boatman was arrested, how could he and Wang Bo'an escape?
His heart was racing, and before he could come up with any idea, the two servants holding the chain and the ghost-headed knife were already running in front of him.
I didn't see Wang Suizhen using any moves, I just saw him swaying forward suddenly and ducking back to where he was.
There were only two sounds of "Plop" and "Plop", and the two servants fell into the river at the same time without making a sound.
After the two sergeants at the stern tied the boatman to the big boat, they jumped back to the stern of the boat and jumped directly on the cabin to Wang Bo'an who was behind Wang Suizhen.
Wang Suizhen looked around and listened in all directions. Without waiting for Wang Bo'an's reaction, he jumped up and made a 'three leaps of the monkey', followed by two more 'plop' and 'plop' sounds. The two sergeants running up from the stern of the boat hummed again. Without even a sound, they all fell into the water!
Wang Suizhen sneered and jumped back to his original position.
As soon as his feet touched the board of the ship, a sudden idea suddenly appeared in his mind: "As the old saying goes - to catch the thief first, catch the king. I'll catch Shi Lilai first. Wouldn't all the problems be solved?"
As soon as this idea popped into Wang Suizhen's mind, Shri Lai immediately noticed the problem, turned around, grabbed the ladder and ran back.
Can Wang Suizhen let him run away? He jumped up with all his strength, jumped to the side of the big ship, grabbed the side of the big ship with his hands, and kicked hard with his right foot.
There was just a "bang" sound, and the wooden ladder had been kicked away by Wang Suizhen, hit another official ship, and was smashed to pieces.
Shililai, who had just climbed to the edge of the ladder, changed his face. He screamed, struggled and rolled and fell into the river.
Wang Suizhen jumped back into the boat, reached out with both hands, and grabbed Li Li by the back of Destiny's neck!
He pulled and dragged Sri Lai back to the boat.
Shri Lai was so anxious that his tone of voice changed: "Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows and shoot these two bold and unruly people to death!"
Wang Suizhen blocked Shrilai's fat body in front of him. Shrilai was like a big shield, covering his whole body. He shouted in a cold voice: "Who dares to shoot an arrow? He will be shot to death." Which of you can afford to take care of this damn fat man?"
All the soldiers immediately looked at each other, and no one dared to shoot an arrow.
Only then did Shri Lai react. He screamed and yelled: "No one is allowed to shoot arrows. If you hit me, I will kill your whole family!" As soon as these words came out, no one dared to shoot arrows. The soldiers who knew Shri Lai's temper well put away their bows and arrows to prevent him from causing trouble in the future. They thought they were pointing their bows and arrows at his fat face now!
Now that someone was taking the lead, all the soldiers put away their bows and arrows.
Shrilai felt that the back of his neck did not feel like it was being grasped by human hands, but like it was being clamped tightly by a pair of large iron pliers, which were so tight that he had no strength left in his body. He said in a trembling tone: "Bold and cunning person... no... not... this cunning person... ah... that's not right either..."
When Wang Suizhen heard that Shi Lilai was so frightened and talking nonsense, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Wang Bo'an deliberately teased Shi Lilai: "Master Shi, why are you so panicked?"
Shrilai glanced at Wang Bo'an with some sadness and said with tears: "Master Wang, I am just a small person and I always only follow orders. Why do you deliberately embarrass me? Let your master brother let me go. As long as you let me go, I'll give you... give you... um... um... a hundred taels of gold, how about it?"
He thought about it again and again, and finally said a number that made him feel extremely painful - one hundred taels of gold!
Wang Boan sneered and said: "Shi Zhenfu, do you think there is nothing in the world that cannot be done with money?"
Shrilai's eyes turned sharply and he said: "Does Mr. Wang mean that there is less money? Then... that one hundred and fifty taels, one hundred and fifty taels, this... this is my hard-earned money for a year, at most One hundred and fifty taels of gold, we really can't get any more!" His tone was both painful and determined, and his expression seemed to say that even if he killed his own mother, he couldn't get more than one tael!
Wang Bo'an finally became angry: "You are a fool! You give the order immediately to get the boat out of the way of the river and put the boatman back. We have to go ashore in the south of the Yangtze River!"
Shrilai asked pitifully: "Then when will you let me go? I'll let people go home to get the gold now, okay?"
Wang Suizhen rolled his eyes, pinched the back of Shi Lilai's neck hard, and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! Give the order quickly!"
Shrilai felt waves of soreness and numbness all over his body and felt very uncomfortable. He hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, yes, yes, hurry up..."
Before Shililai could finish his sentence, there was a "bang" sound, and a big man suddenly jumped down from the big ship and landed on the bow, causing the whole small boat to fall slightly into the river!
Wang Suizhen was slightly shocked and thought to himself: "The falling ship did not cause the ship to oscillate forward and backward, but actually pushed the whole ship slightly into the river. This manpower is extremely powerful, and the control of the force is also extremely clever. This person is a A top-notch expert!"
When Shi Lilai saw this big man, his eyes widened and he screamed: "Zhao Wenhu, what are you doing? Why don't you retreat? How dare you come up?"
"Dare!" Zhao Wenhu didn't say much, and only replied with one word coldly.
One word can choke someone to death!
Shrilai immediately lost his words, swallowed hard, and said with some difficulty: "You...what do you want to do? Aren't you afraid that I will read your book in front of Eunuch Liu?" He was angry and anxious at this time, Afraid that Zhao Wenhu would make Wang Suizhen unhappy, Wang Suizhen pinched himself to death, but he had no strength left in his body at this time, so he could only desperately open his eyes, his eyes bulging with anxiety.
