About ten or twenty days ago, several ships on the canal were robbed one after another. Most people who are doing business outside these days are mentally prepared for this. Although no one wants to encounter this, but if it really happens.
Things have come to an end. Whether it is the freight forwarder or the cargo owner, under normal circumstances, they are trying to save their lives first. As for the money and goods, they are all personal belongings. Who cares about this, except for those who will definitely lose money if this transaction goes wrong.
No one takes his own life seriously when his family is ruined.
But it's strange. In addition to the goods being robbed by the robbers, no one on the robbed ships was injured. This is a bit strange. You know, even if the people who were robbed didn't resist,
, the robbers always have to mobilize a few people to demonstrate, and there is no such thing. Either these robbers have become gentlemen, gentle, courteous and thrifty, or the robbers are too powerful.
As for the need for demonstrations, the effect of looting can be achieved without people daring to resist.
Once this matter is connected, then some people will be willing to think more about it. The owners running on the canal are all good people, and this news is widely known. When everyone adds it up, it is shocking
I found out, thank you, that the ships robbed by these robbers were all carrying the goods of the Sihai Trading Company. There were countless ships of various sizes on the canal. It is probably impossible for the robbers to have such precise vision!
Therefore, some people guessed that the robbers must have some insiders in Sihai Trading Company. Others speculated that these robbers were specifically targeting Sihai Trading Company. In short, there were different opinions, which made all the ship owners who had close contacts with Sihai Trading Company feel confused.
Everyone became panicked.
Qian Wubing smiled slightly. He seemed to understand why the ship owner in front of him would rather not stop on the road and send them to Jiangnan as soon as possible.
"Then the government has always asked the owners and cargo owners of the robbed ships. They must know how many thieves there are and how many ships they have. They must know something about these situations!"
"Well, little ones don't dare to make random guesses!" the captain said hesitantly.
It turns out that every plundered ship had a very different story when asked by officials. Some said there were hundreds of thieves and only three or five ships, while others said the thieves were just one ship.
, appeared silently next to their ship at night, and the thieves were all masked in black scarves and looking murderous. What’s more interesting is that there was also a ship owner who actually said that the leader of the thieves was a woman. This is a bit like a romance novel.
It tastes good, think about it, this is a dark and windy murderous night, a female thief with a good figure who doesn't show her face, no matter how you think about it, a fragrant smell hits your face!
"In other words, this product has been robbed several times. Apart from knowing that the thief will not hurt anyone, everything else is unreliable?" Qian Wubing shook his head: "Okay, I understand, you go and do your work.
Well, with us on board, you don’t have to worry about this!”
Of course I'm not worried about this! The captain nodded with a smile and left, while cursing in his heart: "If this thief wants to be a real spy, I'm afraid it's too late to hide from my ship. Who will do anything wrong in your hands? I'm just a spy."
Let me warn you in advance, lest this happens, you will just accuse me of being a thief!"
Saying that there was no need to worry, Qian Wubing still called his men together after the ship set sail and told them about the matter. Presumably, with his explanation, everyone would be more alert even when they were sleeping.
As for the routine sentry posts and inspections on the ship, of course there can only be more and no less. Everyone has experienced it overseas with Mr. Qian. If the ship capsizes on this small canal, then this face will be really serious.
There's no place to put it.
The only one who was unaware of this situation was probably Su Su. In her impression, she had been on a boat, but at that time, she was still young and stayed in the cabin all day long, so there was nothing wrong with it.
The impression was that this time, she could follow her master and take a boat to Nanjing. Before setting off, she had been dreaming about it for a while. Now that this dream has come true, she feels like a happy little sparrow, without money.
When I didn't want her to take care of me, I was running around in the bow and stern, looking like everything I saw was new.
Naturally, the sailors on the ship had already received instructions from the captain a long time ago. They were very respectful to the "nobleman" Su Su and answered all questions. Even if they were extremely annoyed, they all had smiles on their faces. But later on
, Qian Wubing couldn't stand this girl torturing people everywhere, so he took her back and stayed in the cabin to read to him. Qian Wubing's own knowledge was very poor in the eyes of some people.
He also knew this, so when he had free time, he always wanted to read more books or something. Although he had this intention, as soon as he picked up the book, he fell asleep.
Now that he has Su Su, he doesn't have to worry about this. He listens to Su Su's waxy voice and reads to him in a precise manner. Sometimes he can ask Su Su if he doesn't understand something, although some of them seem to be shameless.
, but who outsider knows what happened between the two of them in the house!
What's interesting is that both of them seemed to enjoy this matter. Not to mention Qian Wubing's enjoyment, even Su Su immediately felt that she had a heavy responsibility after taking over the job. She was studying for the master.
Well, the master is now a high-ranking official. Maybe when he makes a certain decision in the future, the strategy he will use is the content in the book that Su Su once read to the master. This makes her feel that besides serving the master, she can really do anything.
I have done something to help the master.
Therefore, no matter what Su Su is doing, as long as Qian Wubing shouts: "Come back and read to me!" the little girl immediately runs back and enters her own state seriously. This is Qian Wubing's best these days.
The tried-and-tested "Susu Summoning Technique!"
The ship went down the canal. At night, listening to the sound of water outside the ship, and occasionally a few conversations among the sailors, everything seemed extremely quiet.
The ship has already passed Yangzhou. The owner of the ship really did as he said, trying not to stop along the way and just letting the ship go straight down. However, at night, people always want to rest, so there are no stops along the way. At night,
After all, we missed those big towns. Of course, since we don't dock in towns, we won't stop overnight on this shore that doesn't reach the top or bottom.
There were a few sailors left on the boat, and the boat was moving slowly on the river. Others were taking a rest, waiting for daybreak to continue speeding forward.
"Everything has its origin, everything has its beginning and end, and the virtues of gentleness, courtesy, frugality, and the virtue of giving in, these five are the radiance of holy virtue!" Su Su was reading a book that she didn't know where it came from, and when she saw Qian Wubing's drowsy look, she put it down.
Book: "Sir, you know how to swim, right?"
"Huh?" Qian Wubing was confused. He suddenly heard this question and replied casually: "No, but I don't get seasick!"
"You don't know how to swim?" Su Su's eyes widened: "Sir, you don't know how to swim, and you brought the fleet to such a far place. Mrs. Qian said that the place you went to was farther than our Ming Dynasty from south to north.
Woolen cloth?"
"What does this have to do with whether you have water? You went from Tianjin to Nanjing and you didn't know water. Didn't you walk thousands of miles?" Qian Wubing rolled his eyes at her: "What a fuss!"
"But, but, I heard from Qi Baihu that there are thieves on the river. If the thieves come, we can't defeat them. Master, if you don't know how to swim, we won't be able to escape!" Su Su looked worried.
He looked like: "But, I don't know how to swim. It would be great if I knew how to swim. I could run away with the master on my back!"
"The sky is clear and the sun is bright..." As soon as Qian Wubing said it, he realized that it was already night: "In this bright world, there are so many thieves, so just worry about it. Besides, you have forgotten what I do, sir."
It is specially designed to defeat thieves. If the thieves don't come here, if they do come, then they won't come to rob us, but will put our meat on the chopping block!"
"That's right. I specialize in suppressing thieves. Well, I've heard that some women suppress their husbands and some men suppress their wives. However, I've never heard of one that suppresses thieves!"
You're cruel! Qian Wubing couldn't laugh or cry. The little sleepiness he had just brewed was finally dissipated by this curious baby who loved to think about things: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. You can go to bed early. I'll go out for a walk and do some exercise."
!”
"I'll go with the master!" Su Su stood up decisively, Qian Wubing glared at her: "Why are you going? It's windy on the river, your little body is cold and your bones are cold, I have to find someone to take care of you!"
Su Su looked at Qian Wubing pitifully. When he saw Qian Wubing walking to the door of the cabin, he timidly said: "Master, if a thief really comes and wants to run away, call Su Su. Su Su
Very light sleeper!”
This time, Qian Wubing was too lazy to answer. This girl really thought too much and ran away. Is Qian Wubing really that unbearable in the eyes of his maid?
"Sir!" Just after walking out of the cabin door, a figure suddenly spoke in the dark shadow on the side of the ship: "You'd better take a rest in the cabin, it's very windy outside tonight!"
"Huh?" Qian Wubing hummed softly. He could talk nonsense with his maid and tolerate his maid questioning him, but if it was his subordinate, then he couldn't tolerate it!
"The boat behind us has been following us since dark. I think that's what those words came from," the figure in the darkness explained softly.
"I'm not that squeamish!" Qian Wubing snorted, "Is it just a boat? Are there any other helpers?"
"No other ships have been found yet, but this ship has followed us all the way and has not made any move. There should be helpers ambushing us in front. My subordinates are still somewhat familiar with these activities!"
"Does everyone else know?" Qian Wubing asked.
"I know, even the captain of the ship has been notified. The captain said that there is a shoal in about an hour or two ahead, and the thieves are likely to meet there and take action!"
"Okay!" Qian Wubing nodded: "You guys should be careful and call me when you get there. I will take advantage of this opportunity to recuperate and then come and see what is the road that I can't get along with."
