The woman looked at her sympathetically: "Then you and your husband are really unlucky!"
Xiao Lingyue lowered her eyes, her pale face looked extremely weak: "This is the first time we took a boat, and I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and I don't know how my husband and the others are doing now."
The young man Xiaoliu hurriedly comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much. There are people in charge of the water bandits on the Canglan River. They only rob money and don't hurt people. I believe your husband and others will be fine!"
Xiao Lingyue's eyes flashed: "Is there anyone else in charge of the water bandits?"
"Yes, if you don't believe me, ask Sister Qiao." Xiao Liu looked at the woman.
The woman nodded: "The waters in the surrounding area are all controlled by the Cao Gang. When encountering private ships, they will indeed block the road and rob, but those people are still following the rules and generally will not hurt people."
Xiao Lingyue hesitated and said, "But my husband's boat and I hit the water hook last night."
The woman showed a sympathetic expression as soon as she heard it: "What is your husband doing?"
Xiao Lingyue: "" She didn't think about how to answer for a while.
At this time, another middle-aged man next to the bonfire said, "Madam, you and your husband are not ordinary families, aren't you?"
Xiao Lingyue said calmly: "Where do you start with this?"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "We businessmen who often walk on the water know that those water bandits are all watching the dishes. For ordinary small caravans and private ships, they will not set up water hooks to intercept them unless they encounter them.
The fat sheep is here.”
Xiao Lingyue immediately recalled that when he was on the boat, the boss of the boat also said similar things.
Her eyes flashed: "What do you mean is that there are bandits on the dock at the ferry estuary. If you encounter a fleet of wealthy businessmen, you will bury the hook in advance to rob it?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "There are people who look for the wind on every dock, and they cannot be avoided unless they give up the waterway!"
The woman looked at Xiao Lingyue sympathetically: "If you are walking on the water for the first time and don't know the rules on the river, you are afraid that you will accidentally reveal your wealth on the dock and be targeted by the water bandits."
Xiao Lingyue suddenly remembered the strange-behaved middle-aged man on the boat next door when she was on the dock.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Could it be
That man is the one they said to watch the wind for the bandits?
But, there is still something wrong.
Xiao Lingyue asked softly: "What are you talking about the Cao Gang?"
Xiao Liu blurted out: "It's just a water bandit in official skin!"
Xiao Lingyue: ""
"Xiao Liu! Don't talk nonsense!" the woman scolded with a calm face.
"What I said is true?" Xiao Liu shrank his neck.
Xiao Lingyue frowned and said, "Can you be a person from the government in the official skin?"
The woman frowned and didn't say anything for a moment.
The middle-aged man said lightly: "The Cao Gang is not a member of the government, but is just a non-governmental organization that is specifically responsible for shipping and circulation."
Xiao Lingyue continued to test: "What you said is that the water bandits are under the jurisdiction of the Cao Gang, what does it mean?"
"It's literal." The middle-aged man laughed and then changed the subject, "I haven't had time to ask about the name of his wife?"
"My husband's surname is Xiao."
"Mrs. Xiao?"
Xiao Lingyue pursed her lips and smiled, nodded slightly, and there was a reserved and dignified atmosphere between her eyebrows and eyes.
The woman smiled and said, "Mrs. Xiao doesn't look like an ordinary family. What does your husband do? Is he a merchant?" She asked curiously, but her eyes looked at Xiao Lingyue suspiciously.
There is no problem with Xiao Lingyue's deliberate disguise of temperament. The problem is that she is wearing a man's guard uniform.
