Chapter 24: Revealing Your True Nature
At this time, Wu Bao, who was watching the battle, was so anxious that he waved his hands and shouted loudly to the policemen. "Come on, come on! Let me chop this kid up."
When Wu Bao shouted, the four police officers who were standing behind him to protect him also rushed towards Yu Ren.
But not long after Wu Bao finished speaking, a short blade was pressed against his neck. Wu Bao felt a cold sensation on his neck. This fright was so serious that Wu Bao even trembled in his legs. Growing so big, he has always been
They all lived a pampered life and had never encountered such a dangerous situation. Wu Bao suddenly panicked.
"Okay, good man! Show mercy." Wu Bao said with a trembling voice.
The person who held Wu Bao's neck with a short blade was Cao An. The plan he had just discussed with Yu Ren was to have Yu Ren attract the enemy from the front with all his strength, and then he would be responsible for catching Wu Bao from behind while Wu Bao was not paying attention.
This guy. Then he used this guy's life as a threat to force them to let the two of them leave here.
"Tell your men to stop immediately." Cao An shouted to Wu Bao.
"Oh, oh! You, all of you, stop it." Wu Bao gave the order to the honest police officers who were fighting Yu Ren in front.
When the detectives were wondering why Wu Bao wanted them to stop, they looked up and saw that Wu Bao had Cao An's knife held to his neck.
Yu Ren and Cao An, who had held Wu Bao hostage, finally left the city as they wished. They walked towards the dock. Wu Bao, as the hostage, naturally followed them. In this way, the police officers were in trouble.
They neither dared to get too close nor not chase, so they had no choice but to follow the three of them from a distance.
As soon as Yu Ren and Cao An arrived at the pier with Wu Baocai, they saw Ying'er already there waving to them.
"Quick, this way."
Yu Ren looked for his name and saw a small merchant ship parked on the shore. Ying'er stood on the bow and shouted to Yu Ren. He saw that Yu Ren not only brought back his book boy, but also brought another fat man with him.
Come, Ying'er couldn't help but be confused. At this time, Li Yu came out.
As soon as Li Yucai got out of the cabin, he saw that something was wrong with the situation. Although Cao An deliberately changed the short blade on Wu Bao's neck so that it was against his back in order not to attract attention, Li Yu still saw it.
Seeing that the matter had reached this point, Li Yu knew that there was absolutely no room for maneuver. So she made a decisive decision and shouted to the boss of the ship. "Ship owner, get ready to sail."
The boss of the ship ran over unexpectedly. "Didn't we agree to wait a little longer? I still have a few regular customers here who haven't arrived. Miss, there is no need to rush here?"
Li Yu didn't say anything. She just took out a gold ingot worth twenty taels from her sleeve and handed it to the captain of the ship.
"Should this be enough to compensate the shipowners for their losses?"
As soon as the ship's boss saw the ingot of gold, he didn't say anything more. He just quietly put the gold into his sleeves and shouted to the sailors, "Sail, raise the sail, raise the sail immediately."
When the main sail on the ship was raised, Yu Ren and Cao An also got on the gangplank one after another.
When Cao An saw that the ship was about to leave, he pushed Wu Bao forward. "Boy, be a good boy in the future. Don't bump into my hands again."
At this moment, Wu Bao was recovering from his shock. Surrounded by a group of catchers who had caught up, he could only watch the merchant ship that Yu Ren and the others were traveling on sail away. In fact, he could have asked the boatman to stop the ship.
As long as he reveals his identity and says that the boatman is not allowed to go to sea, then the boat boss will never dare to disobey his order. You know, he is the son of the prefect. Although Li Yu gave him twenty taels of gold,
Compared with the young master who offended the prefect, as long as he still wants to live in Fujian in the future, he will choose to give up the former.
However, at this time, Wu Bao had just escaped from Cao An's hands, and his heart was still beating. Not to mention that he had not thought of this level, even if he had thought of it, he would not dare to ask the boatman to stop the boat, lest that
The boy Cao An, who was holding a short knife, got off the boat again to find trouble for him. Although there was a large number of agents around him, Wu Bao still felt unsafe. Therefore, he did not ask the boat to stop.
Yu Ren stood at the bow of the ship until the people on the dock became as small as ants and finally disappeared, and then he returned to the cabin.
The cabin that Yu Ren and his friends shared was a single room specially booked by Li Yu. Although it was not very big, it was enough for the four of them.
"After a long time of hard work, I finally left this place of right and wrong." Yu Ren couldn't help but sigh.
"I think it's not that Fuzhou is bad. The most important thing is that there is always a follower, which is the most annoying thing." Ying'er said.
Li Yu smiled and scolded the little girl, "You know it again."
Ying'er said unconvinced, "Miss, am I right? Does Miss like to stay with that follower?"
Li Yu did not argue. "Yes, you are right!"
A few people were talking in the cabin when the boatman outside suddenly shouted. "Hey! Lao Jiu, didn't you say you wouldn't go out to sea until tomorrow? Why are you out now?"
I heard a faint voice in the distance, "Who says it's not the case! But plans don't change quickly! We businessmen still have the final say when we go to sea, and our customers have the final say! When will it be our turn to have the final say?"
"
There was no more talking on the boat here.
After a while, the boss of the boat outside shouted loudly again, "What? Lao Jiu, do you want to collide with the boat or something? Why are you so close?"
This time, the voice on the other side was clearer. "There's no way! This distinguished guest on my ship insists on letting me send him to your ship. I won't give in!"
When the boss of the ship heard this, he couldn't help but became anxious, "No, this can't be done! We have already set out to sea. If the two ships are too close, they will easily collide. You, Laojiu, don't even know this common sense!" In fact,
, the boss of this boat knew that the person on the opposite boat was probably coming for Li Yu and his group. But since he had accepted Li Yu’s twenty taels of gold, he could not let the other party’s people catch up. As for what would happen after landing ashore
, then he has nothing to do with it.
This is the rule of the rivers and lakes - take people's money and eliminate disasters with them. Although Li Yu and others look very young, and they don't look like people who are used to traveling in the rivers and lakes, the boss of the boat still thinks that he cannot deceive them.
Do things according to the rules.
Yu Ren heard the conversation between the ship's boss and the man in the cabin, and wanted to get up and go out to take a closer look.
"You'd better sit here! Just let Ying'er go take a look. She's familiar with the boatman, so it's easier to talk to her if something happens," Li Yu said.
Yu Ren heard what Li Yu said was reasonable, so he didn't insist on it.
Ying'er opened the hatch and came outside. She saw a merchant ship similar to the one she was riding on, sailing on the sea almost parallel to her own ship. Ying'er saw a few people standing on the opposite deck at a glance.
, standing in the middle is none other than Li Xianzhong.
Ying'er leaned closer to the mast. She didn't want Li Xianzhong to see her.
Li Xianzhong stood on the deck of the ship opposite, shouting to the captain here. "Shipowner, as long as you pick me up, I will give him a reward of fifty taels, how about it?"
The boat boss said nothing.
"How about one hundred taels?" Li Xianzhong shouted.
The boss of the boat put down the boat rope in his hand and said to Li Xianzhong, "This young master must have misunderstood. It's not that I think you don't pay enough, but that I have just received money from another young master. Accept it."
If you are entrusted by someone, you have to be loyal. No matter how much money the young master gives to the villain now, the villain cannot let the young master board the ship. This is a rule, and there is nothing the villain can do."
When Li Xianzhong heard this, he couldn't help but get angry. He saw him pull out the sword from his waist. Then he remembered that the other party was still separated from him by tens of feet of sea. So he cursed, "Boatman"
, Aren’t you afraid of death? If you don’t let us cross the boat, I will kill you.”
The boatman bowed to Li Xianzhong and said, "I'm just a boatman doing my job. Naturally, I'm afraid of death. But I think you have an extraordinary status. I think you won't imitate those pirates and kill people casually!"
When Li Xianzhong heard this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. "Old man, this time, you are wrong. Not only do I want to imitate that pirate today, I also want to rob people. What can you do?"
The boss of the boat is also a person who has been in the world for a long time. Naturally, he will not be frightened by Li Xianzhong's few words. He is now more certain that this person must be here for Li Yu and the others. But there are rules in the world.
Since he has accepted Li Yu's gold, he can only protect her to the end.
So, the captain said, "Master, don't forget, there are dozens of pairs of eyes watching my ship! Are you really not afraid?"
Li Xianzhong laughed again, then showed a ferocious face and said, "Afraid? What are you afraid of? Do you still want to sue me? Soon, you people will all turn into corpses in the sea one by one. If you want to sue, then it's okay.
The only choice is to go to the Sea Dragon King to complain!"
