Chapter 161
Wen Jiuxiao was worried that someone would hijack the prison car and did not dare to relax for half a moment along the way. After more than half of the journey, what he was worried about did not happen. But he did not relax his vigilance. He knew very well that if people were not locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, any
Accidents can happen.
Even if you enter the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, it is not foolproof. Every year, countless prisoners die in prison, some commit suicide, and some commit homicide. Even in the robbery field, there are several cases every year, and there is no blood on the road from the prison to Caishikou.
Did it.
"Sir, there is a landslide twenty miles ahead and the road is blocked." The young general who was exploring the road came back on horseback.
"Is the traffic jam serious? Can a road be cleared?" The route back to Beijing was carefully determined by Wen Jiuxiao. There were many of them and it would be faster to take the main road or the official road, so he did not want to change the route easily.
The young general shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't be easy. There are cliffs on both sides of that section of the road, which are relatively tall. According to the local people, there has been no accident for many years. I don't know what happened this year. There were a lot of heavy rains. More than half a month ago.
One night, the thunder struck so hard that people's hearts trembled, and the heavy rain was like a bucket of water. It lasted for two days before it cleared.
"They went out to clean up the water, only to find that the mountain collapsed. The mountains on both sides collapsed, filling up the original road and forming a larger mountain. It was very inconvenient for them to enter the city or visit relatives."
Wen Jiuxiao frowned, "Does the local government not care?"
The young general hesitated for a moment, "You should be able to take care of it, right? I asked the local people in my humble position and said that the village chiefs and elders had gone to see Li Zheng, and Li Zheng also reported the matter to the county government, but there has been no result yet."
Wen Jiuxiao nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked: "Is there another way here?"
"Yes, there is, but it's a long way around, and you have to climb over a mountain to reach the boundary of Suicheng, and then take the road back to Beijing."
"This way is not possible." Wen Jiuxiao directly denied it.
If we go around to Suicheng, it is equivalent to going back. He is not afraid of taking a longer detour over the mountain? How can there be so many people, horses and vehicles going over the mountain?
"Then we can only take the water route. There is a small dock ten miles to the east. Going down the river can save seven days of travel, but the big ship is not easy to find." The young general is a serious scout in the army, and he can clearly detect the situation.
Clearly.
Wen Jiuxiao didn't hesitate long before making the decision to take the water route. Yu Zhi was stunned when he heard the news.
Her convoy has a hundred cars, and the cars are fully loaded, and not a single car is empty. Even firewood and drinking water are replenished as needed, so there is no time. Who knows when something will happen? What if?
What should I do if I haven't arrived at the inn yet and am sleeping in an open field with no water source nearby and no place to collect firewood?
It wouldn't matter if Yu Zhi was alone, wouldn't he have a baby with him? For the sake of the baby, he still had to prepare for a rainy day.
With so many vehicles, so many things, so many people, plus so many mules and horses, how many boats are needed and how big of a boat is enough?
What's more, Yu Zhi is not optimistic about Wen Jiuxiao's people who are several times as many as her.
Sure enough, when Yu Zhi saw the small pier, his heart dropped.
The dock is really small, with almost no people there. Among the boats docked, the largest can only carry more than 20 people. Based on this calculation, her side alone will need dozens of boats. Wen Jiuxiao's side will probably be overturned.
times, I'm afraid it's not enough.
There are more than a hundred boats! Where to find them? Even if they can be found... water is not as good as land after all. If the boat capsizes, her cargo will be destroyed.
"Forget it, I'd better go over there and have a look. Even if the road is blocked and the carriage can't pass, people should be able to climb over. At most, I'll work hard and make more trips to carry the goods and carriages over." Yu Zhi.
Talk to Wen Jiuxiao.
Yu Zhi doesn't want to take the waterway at all and is floating on the water. Who will she sell her goods to? The waterway is too unfriendly to her. If Wen Jiuxiao insists on taking the waterway, then the gang will be broken up and everyone will go their separate ways.
The hundred or so people in her side are all very powerful, and they are not afraid even if they encounter danger.
Wen Jiuxiao grabbed Yu Zhi, "What's the rush? Let's rest here for a day."
Yu Zhi thought that the road would be clear after just one day's rest. Then she thought that her carts of goods could be sold here.
On this day, Yu Zhi did not rest, but was busy negotiating prices and shipments. Even though this is just a small county, Lao

The purchasing power of the people is still very strong. The most popular item is fabric, with two-thirds of the items sold.
Early on the next morning, Yu Zhi looked at the large ships parked on the river and was simply stunned. Of course, she and Wen Jiuxiao failed to break up the ship.
"Here, where did you get the boats?" Yu Zhi made a visual inspection and found that there were probably forty or fifty ships, all of which were large ships with deep drafts. Her cargo could be loaded into one ship.
"I borrowed it from the Caobang." Wen Jiuxiao stood with his hands behind his back and spoke lightly.
Yes, Lord Xiao Wen actually has a friendship with Jiang Hu Cao Mang. This friendship is probably not shallow, otherwise how could they lend him so many big ships?
Yu Zhi looked at Wen Jiuxiao and really wanted to whistle. As expected of Mr. Xiao Wen, he is so handsome.
Wen Jiuxiao noticed Yu Zhi's gaze, his face remained calm, but he felt very relieved in his heart. He explained: "The young leader of the Cao Gang owes me a favor. After this time, everything is settled."
Yu Zhi said "Oh", but couldn't help but think: To be able to use so many big ships to return a favor shows that the favor is not small!
If you take the water route, just take the water route. Yu Zhi's thin arms did not twist Wen Jiuxiao's thick thighs. But she also made a request. If she doesn't go on the same boat with Wen Jiuxiao, she has to watch her cargo.
Wen Jiuxiao thought about it and agreed to her.
The little boy had never been on such a big boat before, and he ran around excitedly on the boat. Shiliu and Lianwu were afraid that he would fall into the water, so they followed him closely. Mu Qing and the teenagers from Mujiazhai also did this for the first time.
Take a boat, look east and west, and feel strange about everything you see.
Yu Zhi personally watched the goods being moved into the cabin, especially the heavy boxes. She watched closely. She told others that the boxes contained valuable wood and were the dowry she had saved for her future daughter.
Wen Jiuxiao came to see the situation...
This woman was talking nonsense again, and people who didn't know the situation thought she had it. He was sure that the box contained something other than wood. As for what it was, he couldn't guess at the moment. It wasn't wood anyway.
A girl, right? Wen Jiuxiao glanced at Yu Zhi. A little girl looked like her. She had big eyes, loved to smile, and was soft. She shouldn't be as annoying as Zhouzhou, right?
When the ship was not sailing, the little boy was very lively, but when the ship was sailing, the little boy stopped and became seasick. Lianwu was also seasick, but Pomegranate was not a problem at all.
However, the little boy got much better the next day, but Lianwu got worse. He couldn't eat anything and would vomit when he ate. After just over a day, he became visibly haggard.
On the first day, everything went smoothly. On the night of the second day, water bandits boarded the boat.
