Chapter 698 What kind of evidence do I need to convict you?
Chapter 698 I want to convict you, what evidence do I need?
The channel was suddenly blocked, and dozens of sailing ships were suddenly blocked.
Some people on the boat started shouting.
Those who go down with the current cannot go down, and those who go against the current cannot come up.
An out-and-out iron rope across the river!
Most of the ships going upstream were Shu ships. The shipowners basically recognized that this was a trap set up by Shu soldiers, so they hurriedly anchored and stopped or moved closer to the shore to wait and see what happened. A few large cruise ships also followed suit when they saw that the situation was not good.
.
Among the ships going down the river, although most of the local ships stopped moving forward and stayed in place to watch, one of the Dazhou cruise ships rode ahead and continued to move forward regardless of the situation! The deck of the ship
There were a few well-dressed young men standing on the top shouting loudly!
Because in their opinion, this place has not yet reached the real Dashu Water Village, and there should be no checkpoints here.
In other words, they believed that this kind of card setting was illegal and certainly not allowed by the Emperor of Shu!
This kind of interception is quite like water thieves blocking the road and robbing!
Although those soldiers were wearing Shu military uniforms and waving military flags, these young masters did not take them seriously at all.
In their opinion, these soldiers taking the opportunity to set up cards in such a place are nothing more than extortion and want to get a few small coins to spend.
So one of the young masters loudly ordered the boatman to continue moving forward, "I have a lot of money, so charge it to me, and I will reward you!"
They have their own ideas. The bow of the boat is an angle that slopes inward from high to low. If you squeeze forward, you can rely on the pressure of the bow to push the iron cable into the river. The faster you rush, the faster you can push the cable into the river.
Press it deeper so that the ship can sail over the iron rope.
The boatman disagreed at first. After all, other boatmen had docked, and he might be the first to pass by forcefully. Moreover, the barbs on the iron ropes were also very likely to cause damage to the bow of the boat.
But when the young man threw over an astonishingly large amount of silver notes, the boatman's eyes suddenly lit up! Isn't it just a charge? What's the point? The amount of the silver note is too big! Even if the ship sinks, it's worth it
Come on! He rolled up his sleeves and yelled: "Let's go!" Several big men on the oars started shouting and rowing their oars forward! The cruise ship accelerated!
The guests on several other small boats were also a little excited when they saw this, as if they were on fire, "Follow up!" The owners of the small boats were also afraid of being delayed here for too long, but they also had the courage to follow them closely.
Then speed up!
There were two Shu navy troops in the middle of the river waving yellow flags, signaling everyone to stop advancing.
But those boats ignored them at all, and someone on the boat even shouted: "Get the hell out of here! Boatman, rush over! Ignore them! I'll add more money! I have plenty of money!"
Hoarse and hysterical!
These young men are crazy! Which of them in their hometown has not touched blood and human lives on their hands? Which time has it not been settled with money?
If you can kill a few Shu soldiers on the Yangtze River this time, why don't you shock those dogs when they go back?!
Money can make the world go round!
Not only can money conquer ghosts, it can also control gods!
Not to mention a mere mortal!
These boatmen are all from the Zhou Dynasty. They have always claimed to be brave and brave, and they have always looked down on the people of Shu. Even when they saw the officers and soldiers of Shu, they did not take it seriously. I could hear the shouts of those young masters.
, the ship owner was actually already happy! Today is really an auspicious day! When he went out, he met these young men who were "foolish and rich" and tried their best to add money to themselves! Just now, he had already bought several ships
I’ve made money! Today’s income in one day is equal to the total income in the past twenty years!
In the face of huge profits, murder and arson are not a problem, let alone rushing into a few short Shu soldiers? As for the warning of the Shu Navy, it is like farting, what should be done?
Seeing that several large and small ships ignored his warning, the flag-waving Shu army suddenly had a layer of frost on their faces!
Their flag-raising movements suddenly changed, instantly changing from a warning signal to an attack signal!
As soon as the gesture changed, the temporary arrow towers on both sides of the strait immediately fired arrows!
In an instant, arrows rained down, whizzing towards us, trailing a long tail of fire, like a meteor shower that cut through the tranquility of the canyon!
"Holy crap! They used rockets!"
The longbowmen on both sides of the strait actually fired rockets at the wooden boat. This was obviously a deadly attack!
Arrows rained down, covering the sky, and dots of flames sprinkled everywhere like fire rain from the sky. In an instant, these ships were engulfed in blazing flames!
The fire lit up the sky, turning half the sky red, turning the entire pier red, and turning Xiong Mengyan's face red!
She frowned and said, "What's going on in the front?"
Duan Muyan, who was beside her, also looked at the fire on the river and said: "It seems that he failed to break through and was shot by Shu soldiers!"
Wang Sheng said: "Is this how to block the river?"
Duanmuyan said: "Let's take a look and then talk."
Several men holding oars in the boat were directly hit by random arrows, and their bodies tilted and fell into the river. They only let out a few miserable screams, and then there was no more movement.
There were no bones left.
The several ships that broke through the barrier were originally wooden structures. In an instant, the fire shot up into the sky. In an instant, only the keels were left. In the blink of an eye, they collapsed suddenly and became smaller and smaller on the river. However, the fire did not go out for a while.
The people on the boat had already jumped into the river screaming and desperately, and were now swimming desperately to the shore, but the archers seemed not to let them go at all, and another burst of arrows filled the sky, killing these people. Shoot them all!
Those who did not have time to jump off the ship were burned to death, and those who jumped off the ship were shot. Even if they could escape the first two disasters, they could not escape the third!
It is wishful thinking for a landlubber to swim from the center of the Yangtze River to the shore a hundred feet away! There is only one ending waiting for him: he will sink into the river due to exhaustion of strength!
No one survived!
All the shipowners were frightened to death by the bloody and cruel scene in front of them!
The other ships were instantly frightened and turned around and retreated!
Not a single arrow was fired at those ships that were retreating!
Then I heard the Shu soldiers on the river shouting loudly: "Queue up to cross the river and accept inspection! Queue up to cross the river and accept inspection!"
I see!
At this time, a small boat held up a white cloth in response, and took the lead to slowly approach the three official ships in the center of the river. The soldiers on the ships in the center of the river waved to signal them to go over. The boat approached, and the soldiers boarded the boat for inspection. Soon the soldiers came out and signaled for release. Then both sides The soldiers released the iron chain through a huge windlass. The iron chain in the center of the river slowly sank. Because the iron chain drooped in a huge arc, both ends were still exposed to the water. The middle part of the iron chain sank under the water, leaving the water surface. About three feet, there is no problem in passing a building ship. Two small warships, the Shu Navy assault boat, just hold the critical point of the iron chain entering the water, like two doorposts, clearly telling everyone that there are only two ships The only passage between them is the only passable channel! If you try to cross from any other place, there is only a dead end! Either burn to death or drown!
The small boat holding a white cloth passed between the two ships under the spotlight and began to move slowly, seemingly worried about the rockets on both sides of the strait. It was not until the soldiers waved "go quickly" that it was confirmed that it was really letting go, and the boat immediately Start accelerating forward, and soon you will be rowing very far!
Everyone finally felt relieved. It turned out that it was not that they were not allowed to leave, but that they had to check before leaving.
What exactly are they checking for?
Is it contraband?
I heard that the smuggling of Shu brocade and other items between Dashu and Dazhou has been quite serious recently, and Dashu has lost a lot of tax revenue.
On the river bank.
Feng Jiuxiao looked at Jiang Xin from a distance and said, "They must be looking for us."
Pang Shiwu frowned and said: "Can they recognize us? They have never seen us. Besides, no one saw that it was me."
Feng Jiuxiao stared at Jiang Xin and said calmly: "It's actually easy to find you."
Pang Shishi was startled, "Are they so powerful?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The person who can alarm such a large battle is definitely not an ordinary person. He can actually order the Shu navy to dispatch. It means that the family members of the deceased are most likely officers of the nearby garrison."
Pang Shiwu said: "Even if that guy has a powerful background, so what? What can he do to me if he has no evidence?"
Feng Jiuxiao thought for a while and said: "If there is no evidence, we can slowly collect evidence. If we can't collect it, we can fabricate evidence! If they want to convict a person, what other evidence do they need?"
