From Liaocheng to Cangzhou, Cao Qinggui threw an indigo silk robe on a shirtless man in the cabin of a mast sand boat.

The man took over the clothes and slowly put them on himself.

"Adoptive father, is there really no room for negotiation This man is Lu Dazhong, Cao Qinggui's adopted son, who cut off his hair in one move of Lanyi that night.

At this time, his head is wrapped in a black kerchief, to cover his fragmented hair.

"He's determined to deal with it according to the gang rules!" Cao Qinggui, who was in a state of anger, made a fist in his hand and hit the black lacquer square table beside him heavily, which made the cover bowl on the table "clang Dang" sound. "I have worked hard in the Cao Gang these years, even if I didn't make any contribution. He didn't even talk about it

"Adoptive father, I didn't say that. I really don't understand why the 13 leaders of Cao Gang were so lively that they only had to submit to such a suckling and smelly boy?" Lu Dazhong thought of his song that night without fighting

He felt weak, but later he thought that he was not inferior to others, but it was clear that the other side attacked him by night.

If it's normal, it's uncertain who will win or lose.

After listening to Lu Dazhong's words, Cao Qinggui sighed. Before, there were no less than a hundred gangs, big and small, active on the canal, and they worked in their own ways.

You don't agree with me, I don't agree with you. The whole day's fighting is not enough. Even if the government sent soldiers, they can't bear it.

But later, a person who called himself "Lord of the pavilion" came and said that since it was a matter of the river and lake, it would be solved in the way of the river and lake.

With his own efforts, he recovered the leaders of 13 small gangs, and then with them, he cleaned up all the gangs on both sides of the canal.

Looking back on that scene, Cao Qinggui is still glad that he made his own choice in that year, so that he can have today's day.

He frowned at his adopted son, who was in trouble for him, and said, "well, how can you provoke him? Can open such a big ship on the canal, not rich or expensive! You've been running on the river with me for so many years, and you don't know that! "

Nalu Dazhong shook his head with a bitter smile: "the magistrate's son asked me for help,

He only said that he took a fancy to two entertaining women and was robbed of their love by others. He wanted me to chase them back. "

"I thought at that time, how much ability can two entertainers have? And their ship didn't carry the flag, so I took it as an ordinary business ship and took people around... "Lu Dazhong sighed," this result is really unexpected... "

Cao Qinggui was silent.

Although they can say nothing about water transport, they still want to live on shore. Naturally, they can't be ignored as the son of Cangzhou magistrate.

Moreover, these years, they have not helped the son of Cangzhou Prefecture magistrate to do evil, but the same benefits they got from Cangzhou Prefecture magistrate's hands can not be underestimated.

But what he didn't expect was, how could things develop so fast?

But now, the son of Cangzhou Prefecture magistrate has not been flattered and offended the young cabinet leader.

He just pressed this end and cocked up the other end, which made him feel a little worried.

"Adoptive father! In fact, if you want me to tell you, let's not follow the young cabinet leader. "

Seeing his father's sad face, Lu Dazhong took the opportunity to say, "if you really count it up, our Tangkou is the most unpopular of the thirteen Tangkou. Everyone else eats large pieces of meat, but we can't even drink the dregs of soup. What's the point of continuing to muddle along like this?" Then Lu Dazhong looked at Cao Qinggui and found that his face was a little loose, so he continued: "the magistrate's son told me that there are some noble people in Beijing who want to invest money to pour a batch of marine goods directly from Tianjin to sea. The ships have been built, but they are suffering from the fact that there are no people who have been out of the sea on the ship. Now they want to take us into the gang..."

In the middle of his words, he deliberately paused. After hearing Cao Qinggui's dissatisfied stare at him, he slowly said: "they are willing to open with us in February and August!"

Two eight open!

As soon as Cao Qinggui heard this, he was very interested, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head: "we haven't been out of the sea! Although what we have been doing is making a living on the water, after all, we are only running on the calm canal. It's different when we get out of the sea. It's said that the waves on the sea can be as high as 45 feet. If one wave comes, the whole ship can be overturned! "

"Adoptive father!" That Lu big bell a listen to anxious, "is not to find some people out of the sea?"? Do you remember Lai Da we met in Liujiagang before? He has been out of the sea! Let's ask him to look for someone, just say it's our own person. It's a 20% profit in it! "

During the conversation, the big bell of Nalu stretched out two fingers, constantly gesticulating in front of Cao Qinggui's eyes.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Lu Dagui added fire: "instead of being looked down upon by other people in the Cao Gang all day long, it's better to go all out and find a new way."

Maybe he felt that Lu Dazhong was right again. Cao Qinggui patted Fang beside him and said, "dry!"

In the afternoon of the second day, Xiao Ruixuan received a letter from a pigeon and learned the news.

They want to go out on their own?

It seems that some people think too simply about going to sea.

If they are not allowed to go out and see the wind and waves, they really think that maritime trade can be done by individuals.

Xiao Ruixuan's mouth slightly tilted, and a trace of scorn flashed in her eyes. She threw the note into the green bronze incense burning cauldron beside her, got up and went back to him

The courtyard where Jiang Wan lives.

Because Cheng Zixiu went to Donge county to buy donkey hide gelatin, they planned to stay in Liaocheng for a few more days, so they continued to transport a lot of things from the ship.

Therefore, when Xiao Ruixuan went back to her room, she saw that Dingxiang and Xiayi were busy cleaning out the things in the cage one by one, while Jiang Wan was wearing a cherry grass colored hangsi Bijia, sitting on a rosewood inlaid snail and marble Luohan bed, pulling her scallion like jade finger, frowning and calculating.

As soon as Xiao Ruixuan saw her serious appearance, she couldn't help trying to make fun of her.

He went forward quietly and stood beside her for a while. He only heard Jiang Wan say to himself, "today's sixth day is 12 days away from the 18th day, but the next day we have to pass through Zhenjiang and Suzhou to get to Hangzhou... So, the days are really tight..."

"What day is a little tight?" Hearing Jiang Wan's words, Xiao Ruixuan stopped trying to tease her, but asked in a puzzled way.
