The Longya Intelligence Department established by Lu Xiufu has extended to all parts of the country. Liangzhe Road, which is closest to Lin'an, has a liaison station in every prefecture and county government. It exists in various forms, including restaurants, brothels, inns, teahouses, etc.
The liaison station of Wenzhou Prefecture is the largest teahouse next to the pier - Ruian Tea House, named Xiang Ruian Kang. There are people coming and going in the tea house, and the business is very good, which is no less than the tea house in the bustling downtown of Lin'an. Generally speaking, in
The crew members who have taken a break in Wenzhou will be able to
Drink two cups of tea at Ruian Tea House, take a break, or go sightseeing in the city, or return to the boat to sleep. When the porters on the pier are tired, they will also come here to have a drink, and three or five people can gather together to chat about the latest news.
This anecdote means that there are people from all walks of life in this teahouse.
We sat in the best room upstairs, drinking tea and eating Wenzhou's unique snacks. Looking from a distance, the sea and sky were the same color, and the morning breeze blew gently, which gave it a unique taste.
"A ship has arrived, let's go quickly." Just after midnight, someone shouted loudly outside the teahouse, and then several groups of porters quickly ran to the pier. Most ships in this era were mainly for cargo, so every time they arrived at a pier,
The porters have done business.
Li Shan, the owner of the teahouse, stood respectfully in front of us, looked at the ships in the harbor, and introduced: "Sir, this ship should be the Huating from Songjiang Prefecture above. The owner of the ship is named Yang Shikang. He is a loyal and kind man. He travels to and from the port all year round.
Hainan Islands and Songjiang Prefecture area."
"Well, let's go take a look too."
Mixed in the crowd, Li Shan took us to the dock. The empty-handed porters were waiting to pick up the goods, and many porters carrying goods were also preparing to load the goods onto the ship. For a while, the Huating was crowded with people.
At this time, more than a dozen ship inspectors wearing official uniforms came directly to the Huating. The leader said: "Routine inspection, you will board the ship for loading and unloading later."
"Hey, why are you conducting random inspections today?"
"Yes, I haven't seen the shipping department come on board for inspection in many days."
Li Shan also said: "Sir, this kind of routine inspection is rare. The ships coming and going all understand the rules of Wenzhou Shipping Department. As long as they pay the members, they will generally not be inspected. It's strange that Yang Shikang shouldn't understand.
This is the rule."
Seeing this, Yang Shikang, the boss of the ship, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master Cheng, ladies and gentlemen, our Huating has docked at Wenzhou Prefecture many times. The cargo we carry is in compliance with the laws of our dynasty. We never dare to carry contraband privately, and each time we pay a small amount of money."
It’s not a big deal, it’s just a small thing, let’s have some tea.”
The leader with the surname Cheng was not polite. He took a piece of official silver and said: "Boss Yang, we are also following orders. Even if we eat this bowl of rice, we don't dare to disobey our orders. We have routine inspections. We are all acquaintances. This
I have drawn your Huating number for the first time. Please forgive me, Mr. Yang, and we will do it as soon as possible. Brothers, move quickly and don’t affect Mr. Yang’s business.”
More than a dozen shipping officers agreed in unison and quickly entered the Huating.
Fang Ling saw it and said, "Brother, the two government servants at the back seem to be Huang San and Xiaosi."
"Yes, exactly." Wen Zhang also said.
"Well, let's keep reading."
Not long after, the government officials came out with a young woman in ragged clothes. The woman had dark skin, a slim figure, and a look of panic in her big eyes. The leader named Cheng sneered: "Boss Yang, this
I couldn't help you this time, so I said you were a distant relative of yours. Look, your family members have all come here, what else do you have to say?"
Boss Yang didn't know how to answer, so he just sighed and said, "Miss Huang is a good person."
"Boss Yang, now this inspection suspects you of human trafficking. Come on, take these two people to the Shipping Department and let them be punished."
The young woman hurriedly said: "My lord, this is not the case. It has nothing to do with Boss Yang. I sneaked onto the ship myself."
Inspector Cheng said: "Whether it matters or not is not up to you or me. This country has national laws, and every family has its own rules. When it comes to the Shipping Department, my family will decide for themselves."
The young woman begged: "Sir, please let Boss Yang go. This matter really has nothing to do with him. I will just go with you."
"Let's go, stop talking nonsense."
"Boss Yang, I'm going to hurt you this time."
"Miss Huang, stop talking, I can't help you."
The Shipping Department is very close, right next to Ruian Tea House.
Wen Zhang pointed to a person in front of the door and said: "Sir, the person next to Huang Dao is the second uncle of the Huang family."
Inspector Cheng walked to the door and said, "Mr. Huang, I have brought him back."
Uncle Huang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll be on inspection. I'll prepare a banquet at Wangyou Tower in the evening. Then you and your Lord You will go together."
"Okay, Mr. Huang, I'll leave that person to you." Inspector Cheng smiled and said, "I'll have a nice drink with you tonight, and you can take this girl away."
After Inspector Cheng brought Mr. Yang into the Shipping Department, Huang Dao stretched out his hand and slapped him: "You bitch, you dare to run away, hmph, I will let you run away, if you run away again if you have the ability, we will catch you from the end of the world."
"
The young woman covered her face and glared at Huang Dao: "You guys let Boss Yang go first, and I will go back with you."
"You dare to negotiate terms?" Huang Dao was furious and stretched out his right hand, wanting to slap the other person again.
Fang Ling suddenly became angry when he saw it, and was about to step forward when he saw his second uncle scolding him: "Zhu Dao, don't do anything."
In the Huang family, Huang Dao and his father, the head of the Huang family, are somewhat afraid of this second uncle. Huang's second uncle has learned martial arts since he was a child, and the Huang family's cloth depends on his second uncle to sell all the cloth. Huang Dao can not give his father face, but
But I dare not not give my second uncle face.
The second uncle turned around and looked at the young woman again, and said, "Let's go back to the cloth shop first."
Unexpectedly, the young woman insisted: "You let Boss Yang go first, otherwise I won't go back with you."
When Huang Dao heard this, his anger regenerated and he said loudly: "Huang Daopo, a husband is a wife, how dare you talk back again and again. If my uncle hadn't been here just now, I would have beaten you to death, you bitch."
"Huang Daopo? Is this really the person?"
Anyone who has read in later generations will know Huang Daopo. Although her reputation is not as good as Wen Tianxiang's, it is far greater than that of Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie, who were also the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty. Huang Daopo was born in about the fifth year of Chunyou, Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty (1245)
Year
), who was very smart since childhood, but due to poverty at home, she became a child bride in the family of the patriarch of the same clan. Later, she could not bear the domestic violence and went south to Hainan. At the end of the 13th century, she returned to Shanghai and promoted weaving technology to a new level and was widely admired by future generations.
This was a civilian scientist in the late Song Dynasty, and he was a talented person. With the help of Shen Yiqiu and Quan Jue, Huang Daopo would have been able to innovate and improve weaving technology without going to Hainan.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Huang Daopo suddenly laugh: "Husband is the guide for wife, Huang Dao, do you regard me as your wife? Third brother, fourth brother, you are all here too, you can say it fairly."
, am I not even as good as the lowest servant of the Huang family, not even as good as a pig or a dog? This time I come out, I have no intention of going back."
How could Huang San and Xiao Si dare to answer? They all looked at Huang Dao.
The second uncle frowned and said: "Huang Daopo, I am your second uncle, and I know a lot about your affairs. I will go back with you this time to seek justice for you. As for Mr. Yang, there is nothing we can do. This is
You can follow me home and discuss the matters regarding the Shipping Department."
Huang Daopo looked determined: "Second uncle, I appreciate your kindness. If it hadn't been for Mr. Yang's rescue that day, I would have been dead long ago. I have to repay the favor of saving my life. My life is a small matter, but the life of my benefactor is a big deal. Who?
I will go with anyone who can rescue Boss Yang."
The second uncle was also a little annoyed, thinking that he had already spoken kind words to her, but with his status in the Huang family, this girl still refused to give her face, not to mention that the people in the shipbuilding department were not good people. If they wanted to release Boss Yang, what would happen again?
It costs a lot of money, is it worth it?
If I were the second uncle, I would have agreed long ago, and it would be worth all the money. Huang Daopo is still only a master in the weaving industry at this time, but I know that within a few years, Huang Daopo will become a super master in this industry.
How could Huang Dao swallow this breath and said to Huang San: "Huang San, Xiaosi, drag this bitch away to avoid being embarrassed here."
