Chapter 3 Arrogant Pirates

"Are you going to cross the river?" asked the official.

"Yes!" The fake boy answered briefly, as if he was unwilling to talk to this official.

"Fifty cents each." The official said simply and stretched out his hand.

The fake boy looked at Jiang Feng with a questioning look. Jiang Feng understood and pointed to the wooden sign on the side. The fake boy turned to look at the wooden sign and was about to pay, but the fake book boy who was following her had already started.

I couldn't help but scream.

"Why! Isn't it from Shiwen?"

"Others are ten cents. You are fifty cents." The official said forcefully.

"Why, why do we have to pay 40 cents more than others?" the fake bookboy shouted, and his voice became shrill. If the official had paid a little attention at this time, he would have discovered that this bookboy was actually a maid.

But the official clearly only thought about his money.

"No reason. You just have to pay fifty cents per person. Can't pass? If you want to pass, pay as soon as possible. If you can't, just leave as quickly as possible." The official said arrogantly.

"You..." The fake book girl was about to argue, but her master stopped her.

"Forget it, just give him a hundred coins!" said the fake young man.

The fake book boy then snorted heavily, then took out a hundred coins from his sleeve and handed it to the official's hand.

After the two paid the money, they stopped talking to the businessman and headed for the ferry on the riverside. Now that they had the business money in hand, they no longer had any trouble with them.

Jiang Feng also quickly paid ten cents and got on the boat right behind the two of them. At this time, the cry of a child suddenly came from behind him.

Jiang Feng turned around. It turned out that the group of refugees just now were driven away by two businessmen, and the child in the hands of a woman was squeezed and cried. Jiang Feng felt soft in his heart. He originally planned to ignore this nosy matter, but in the end he couldn't bear it.

He walked towards the two businessmen.

"Two adults, please do me a favor and let them get on the boat! I will pay them the money they need to pay." After saying that, Jiang Feng carefully took out a small piece of silver worth about two yuan from his arms.

, handed it to the official. But he did not dare to take out the money bag. After seeing the shamelessness of the two tolerants charging at will, he was really afraid that they would blackmail him after they saw his money bag.

This time, the two servants were quite trustworthy and let the refugees go after collecting the money.

The ferry boat at Lianjiang Ferry is not big and can only accommodate about twenty people at a time. It turns out that there are already five or six people on it. Plus Jiang Feng and the two fake men, there are about ten refugees on the boat.

.

The man in his fifties who had just been shortlisted also got on the boat. As soon as this man got on the boat, he bowed deeply to Jiang Feng.

"I really want to thank you for your help today! Otherwise, we would not be able to cross the river, and we people really don't know how we will live in the future!" As he said that, the man kowtowed to Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng quickly stopped him. As a modern person, he

I'm not used to being kowtowed to.

"It's just a trivial matter of one or two hundred cents, don't take it seriously," Jiang Feng said.

The man was helped up and continued, "The villain's last name is Li and his last name is Sanhe. He is from Mi County, Shaanxi Province. I don't know what my surname is?"

Jiang Feng then remembered that he didn't even know his own name until now. However, he naturally couldn't tell the other party like this. Suddenly he remembered that the sword he was wearing had the word "Yu" engraved on it. This should be him.

Now he had a last name, so he said, "My name is Yu Feng."

The two of them were talking when they heard a cold snort from next to them.

The two hurriedly turned around to look, and it turned out to be the fake young man from before.

"I'm afraid Brother Yu is going to do bad things out of good intentions this time!" the hypocrite sighed.

"Why?" Jiang Feng was puzzled.

The fake young master bowed his hand to Jiang Feng. "I'm Li Yu in Quanzhou. Didn't Brother Yu hear that the Lian Jiang Chen family is facing a great disaster?"

"What Chen family? What kind of disaster?" Jiang Feng didn't understand for a moment.

Li Yuwei glanced at Jiang Feng in surprise. "Brother Yu, didn't you hear what they said to Gongzhu just now? The Lian Jiang and Chen family naturally refers to Chen Yuanliang and Chen Yuan's family! Didn't they say they were going to join the Chen family just now?

?”

Jiang Feng then remembered Li Sanhe's conversation with the two servants just now, and nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, yes. But, what catastrophe are you talking about, and what happened?"

Li Yu did not answer, but only said, "You will know everything when you enter the city in a while. Anyway, I advise everyone not to rush to join the Chen family, lest the city gate catches fire - which will affect Chiyu." What happened next.

It was already told by Li Sanhe and others.

The Lianjiang River was not very wide, and they soon reached the other side. Jiang Feng heard that Master Li Yu and his servants were also going to the city, so he went with them.

The three of them paid another entry tax at the city gate. Fortunately, the tax collection here was much better than the two at Lianjiang Ferry. They did not tax the seventeen refugees behind.

As soon as he entered the city, Jiang Feng saw a group of people surrounding a notice posted by the city gate. Jiang Feng hurriedly moved over to take a look. At this glance, he immediately understood what Li Yu had just said about the Chen family being in great catastrophe.

What's going on?

It turned out that what was written on this notice actually said that pirates would attack the city tonight, so the people and officers in the city should not panic. The pirates only came to avenge the Chen family and did not harm other innocent people.

After reading the notice, Jiang Feng was stunned. He didn't believe that there would be such pirates in the world. They actually had to inform them before attacking the county. These pirates were too rampant! Could it be that in their eyes, the officers and soldiers were like this?

Is it not worth mentioning? Jiang Feng couldn't understand.

Although these refugees had been warned by Li Yu on the boat, they were still ready to seek refuge with Chen Yuanliang. It was not until they saw this notice that everyone suddenly lost their mind.

"What should I do?" A crowd of refugees surrounded Li Sanhe. He was actually the leader of this group of people.

However, Li Sanhe couldn't think of any good ideas for a while. What he had already planned was completely disrupted by this small notice. He had no choice but to look at Li Yu as if asking for help. Regarding what was happening in front of him,

This young master's many years of experience in life gave Li Sanhe a premonition that he was not ordinary. Therefore, he now wanted to hear Li Yu's advice.

"Anyway, everyone is here. If the Chen family has something to do, it will only be tonight. Why don't you find a place to settle down in the city for the night and wait until tomorrow to decide whether to join the Chen family based on the situation. If the Chen family is still here

, it’s not too late for you to seek refuge again. If something happens, you won’t be in trouble.” Li Yu actually cares about this group of refugees, and she has a natural affinity for the poor.

Li Sanhe nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! But..."

Li Yu could see Li Sanhe's concerns at a glance. "About a mile south of here, there is a ruined temple. You will stay there today! If the Chen family is defeated, I will help you think of other ways.

.I can’t just watch so many of you being desperate.” After saying that, Li Yu took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it into Li Sanhe’s hand.

"Take this money first and buy some food for everyone. Adults can go hungry, but children cannot."

Li Sanhe was so grateful that he knelt down. At the same time, he was secretly glad that his judgment was indeed correct. Other victims also knelt down along with Li Sanhe.

Li Yu quickly waved her hands. "Get up. Get up! This is the city. It's not good to be watched by others. You go first! If something really happens to the Chen family tomorrow, I will come to the temple to meet you and think about it later.

There are other ways to arrange your future life."

Li Sanhe knew that what Li Yu said was right. In the eyes of everyone in the city, if such a large number of people suddenly knelt down to one person, it would naturally attract the attention of others. Maybe people would mistakenly think that they were a cult.

Yes, it brought unnecessary trouble to Li Yu. After all, Li Sanhe was a sophisticated person. So, he quickly called everyone up and took everyone away in a hurry.

Jiang Feng had been watching this scene quietly without saying a word. It wasn't until Li Sanhe and his group left that Ying'er beside Li Yu said to Jiang Feng, "How is it? Mr. Yu. Our young ladies often say, teach a man to fish."

, it is better to teach people how to fish. The young master helped them cross the river, but it only solved their immediate difficulties. If they can't find their master to join them, such a large group of them, supporting the old and the young, will still starve to death sooner or later!

So what difference does it make whether the young master helps them today or not?"

Jiang Feng felt a little embarrassed by what the little girl said, but he knew that what she said was indeed right. Fortunately, he had always been thick-skinned, so he hurriedly pretended to be taught and nodded repeatedly. "That's what the girl said!"

"

Ying'er couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when Jiang Feng revealed the secret, "You..."
