Chapter 14 The rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings
Dong Shuheng, who was in Gaoyou, didn't know that he had made a fortune.
When we first planned it, we didn't expect that the Huang family had saved such a large sum of money in Dongtai.
Ordinarily a large family would not put all the family's wealth in one place. After all, everyone knows the principle of three burrows. Maybe this money is only a part of the Huang family, but it is definitely the majority.
Early the next morning, Dong Shuheng had just finished washing when Cai Shusen walked in and handed him a note. Dong Shuheng opened it and read: "Sunrise and fog dispersed by the Salt River, speaking with you beside the Phoenix Terrace."
The following is signed by Wei Yu.
Looking at the note, Dong Shuheng smiled. He recalled the scene behind the screen yesterday with evil intentions. He even recalled the scene in his previous high school life when the bell rang and girls ran to the toilet to grab a seat.
…
Originally, he was going to catch "rats" with Cai Shusen, but now there is a beautiful little white cat waiting for him, so he has no choice but to go to the appointment. As for catching mice, under his own instructions, Xiao Cai should not be able to do it.
questionable.
He tidied himself up in the mirror and spent five minutes admiring his handsome face. Dong Shuheng repeatedly reminded himself to be a beautiful young man whose outer beauty and inner beauty develop simultaneously.
Phoenix Terrace is located on a sandbank in the middle of the Salt River in the east of Gaoyou City, not far from Xiejia Town. Xiao Cai is going to catch mice. Today, only deputy squad leader Zhang Dabiao and five regiment members are following him. Zhang Dabiao is the exact opposite of Cai Yusen, a rough guy.
People are not only rough in appearance, but also rough in heart.
To get to Fenghuang Terrace, you must first cross the river. There are often tourists here, so Dong Shuheng easily hired a ferry.
As the boat sailed on the river, the morning breeze gradually blew away the thick fog, and through the fog, the outline of the sun could already be seen. At this time, Dong Shuheng felt as if his horse was riding high in the spring breeze.
"Chairman, listen, someone seems to be calling for help." Zhang Dabiao reminded in a low voice.
Dong Shuheng listened carefully, and it seemed that there was really a woman shouting. But from a long distance, he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Boatman, row over there." Dong Shuheng pointed to the direction where the sound came from and said.
The voice seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, "Shipman, speed up." As he said that, Dong Shuheng threw out a piece of silver.
"Okay, sir." The boatman tried his best.
Dong Shuheng vaguely saw a girl in a green skirt waving to this side. Now the fog dissipated a little. He could already see the girl's appearance clearly.
This girl is small and cute, and she looks familiar. Oh, by the way, she seems to be the little book boy following Wei Yu.
"What's going on?" Dong Shuheng asked loudly from a distance.
"Miss...Miss was captured." The maid responded loudly.
"Where did you run?" Dong Shuheng asked again.
"Paddle the boat and run to the south." The little maid pointed to the south as she said it.
It's impossible to catch up with him even if he's rowing, and besides, the water bandits nearby are basically experienced rowers.
"The boatman will dock next to the post house on the west bank." Dong Shuheng said to the boatman.
The boatman didn't dare to be slow and rowed over quickly.
After docking, Dong Shuheng took Zhang Dabiao and the others and ran towards the post house. When they arrived at the post house, Dong Shuheng had no time to explain, so he threw a large ingot of silver to the postman, and then said: "Master Zhizhou's daughter was captured by the bandits, borrow the horse."
Once used, we will go rescue people."
The postman stared at the silver in his hand and hadn't reacted yet! Dong Shuheng had already roared away on horseback with Zhang Dabiao.
The Salt River goes south and merges into the canal outside the south gate of Zhoucheng. Dong Shuheng guessed that the water bandits must go south from the Salt River into the canal, and then from the canal into Gaoyou Lake. His destination is the mouth of the river outside the south gate. He hopes to be there
Can intercept water bandits.
At this time, Dong Shuheng kept urging the horse on his crotch and finally arrived outside the south gate. He found another ferry and took Zhang Dabiao and the others on board. At this time, a awning boat rowed on the north side of the river.
Come here, that boat is going very fast.
Dong Shuheng asked the boatman to row over quickly. The awning boat seemed to have seen Dong Shuheng's intention. The boatman was maneuvering the boat to avoid Dong Shuheng's boat.
At this moment, there was only a "bang" gunshot. The boatman was shot in the thigh and fell to his knees. It turned out that Dong Shuheng had pulled out the Colt revolver hidden in his waist.
The awning boat lost control and slowed down. At this time, the boatman hired by Dong Shuheng and the others was frightened and froze in place.
"Hurry up and get closer!" Dong Shuheng shouted. The boatman started to maneuver the boat mechanically.
"Don't come over, or I will kill her!" At this time, a loud voice came from the canopy of the awning boat. A strong man with a black face climbed out of the canopy while escorting a girl.
"Let us go, or else, grandpa, my hands are shaking." The man tightened the knife attached to the girl's neck and said.
Wei Yuzhen, who was being held hostage at this time, also saw Dong Shuheng. At this moment, she forgot her fear and looked directly at him. He was dressed in a green shirt, tall and had clear contours on his face, making him look clean and neat.
He raised the musket in his hand high and pointed it in his direction. Wei Yuzhen even saw thin smoke coming out of the muzzle.
"You have already fired a shot. Don't think I don't know. Every time you fire a musket, you need to load the powder and change the bullet." The black-faced man said proudly.
"Oh, really?" Taking advantage of the moment when the black-faced man was proud, Dong Shuheng winked at Wei Yuzhen. Wei Yuzhen had been staring at Dong Shuheng, so she quickly became interested in his little actions. She blinked twice.
Look at Dong Shuheng's mouth.
I saw Dong Shuheng using the shape of his mouth to express: "3...2..." When Dong Shuheng counted to "1", Wei Yuzhen quickly squatted down. There was another "bang" sound, and a wisp of air erupted from the forehead of the strong man.
Blood Sword. A shot to the head. The strong man with a black face raised his head and fell to the ground.
"It's terrible to be uneducated!" Dong Shuheng thought to himself.
There was no scream as she imagined. Wei Yuzhen was holding her knees with her hands and squatting there blankly. Her face was stained with a bright red blood stain, which was sprayed from the strong man's forehead.
Seeing her sitting there blankly, Dong Shuheng knew that she was too frightened. Dong Shuheng put away his gun and jumped onto the awning boat, and squatted down in front of Wei Yuzhen. Dong Shuheng took out a white handkerchief from his arms,
Gently help Wei Yuzhen wipe the blood stains from her face.
At this time, Wei Yuzhen's eyes finally reacted. She looked at Dong Shuheng and suddenly threw herself into Dong Shuheng's arms. The unprepared Dong Shuheng was staggered by the impact and almost fell into the river. Fortunately, he reacted
Quickly, use your right hand to push back.
"Okay, it's okay!" Dong Shuheng comforted softly.
"Zhen'er...Zhen'er, are you okay?" At this time, an old man's hysterical voice came from the shore.
Wei Yuzhen quickly broke away from Dong Shuheng's arms, looked towards the shore, shouted: "Dad!" and then started crying.
Dong Shuheng also looked at the old man on the bank.
Casting a look of resentment...
"You bastard, couldn't you have come a few minutes later? I just hugged you, young master, and I haven't had time to feel it. Now I don't even have any aftertaste in my mind!" Dong Shuheng cursed in his heart.
Now Dong Shuheng had time to take a look at the water bandit who was operating the boat. The wound on his leg was still bleeding, and he had fainted due to blood loss.
Dong Shuheng quickly winked at Zhang Dabiao. Zhang Dabiao took out the first aid kit he carried with him from his waist, poured some gold sore medicine on the boatman's wound, and then tightened it with a bandage to stop the bleeding.
At this time, the two boats had already docked. Naturally, a maid came to take Wei Yuzhen into the sedan chair. The little girl had not yet recovered from the shock. She just turned around and glanced at Dong Shuheng.
With just this glance, Dong Shuheng felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart. Just like a lyric - "Just looking at you one more time in the crowd..."
Dong Shuheng suddenly felt worthless.
Wei Yuan rushed over, naturally followed by a group of government officials.
"Teacher, quickly find a doctor to save this water bandit's life." Dong Shuheng pointed at the boatman who fainted on the boat and said.
Wei Yuan obviously understood what Dong Shuheng meant, and quickly asked the guards to find a door panel and carry the water bandit who was shot in the leg to find the doctor.
Dong Shuheng returned to Zhizhou Yamen with Wei Yuan.
"Shu Heng, since you and I have decided on the master-disciple relationship, I won't be too polite to you. Today's incident with Zhen'er is all thanks to you." Wei Yuan said gratefully.
"Master, it is the disciple's duty to protect the junior sister." Dong Shuheng said, he knew that Wei Yuan was sincerely grateful. According to Wei Yuan's age, he can be regarded as a daughter of old age. Looking at Wei Yu's usual style, he must be in
He is very loved in the family.
"Master, this is not an easy matter today. The water bandits took such a big risk to rob people on the banks of the Salt River. Then I am afraid their intention is not as simple as targeting the junior sister, but..." Dong Shuheng glanced at the city gate with his eyes as he spoke.
"Humph! How dare you plot against our Gaoyou City." After saying this, a look of deep worry appeared on his face.
"Those wealthy gentry in the city, I asked them to donate money to recruit local warriors, but they all passed the buck and dealt with me. Well, now I'm waiting for them to come to me."
With that said, Wei Yuan called his master and ordered: "Go and spread the news, saying that Changmao's spy has been caught, and Changmao will attack Gaoyou within five days."
"Master, don't you need to interrogate the confession before making a decision?" Dong Shuheng asked puzzledly.
"Is this important? Everyone saw today that the bandits held the little girl hostage in order to threaten me to open the city gate when they attacked the city. Could it be that I would make fun of my daughter?" Wei Yuan glanced at him and said. At the same time, he thought to himself.
: "This baby is still a little tender!"
"Ginger is still very old! So, why don't the gentry in the city take the initiative to send over small coins? After all, their wealth is all in Gaoyou City."
Back at the government office, Dong Shuheng followed Wei Yuan directly to the backyard. At this time, Wei Yuzhen had already changed her clothes and washed herself briefly. However, her face was still slightly pale.
She stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Thank you, senior brother, for saving my life!" She looked completely different from usual.
Only then did Dong Shuheng have time to take a good look at Wei Yuzhen, who was dressed in women's clothing. She was wearing a goose-yellow dress, with her hair in a bun, and a magpie-headed jade hairpin. Her oval face was slightly baby fat. She was tall and held her head high.
, the thin chin is raised, making her look full of temperament.
"Cough..." An old man's clear cough interrupted Dong Shuheng. At the same time, Wei Yuzhen's pretty face turned red.
