Chapter 55 A good show

He Shaobai entered the cabin, opened the cargo hold partition, and saw dozens of bags of grain stacked in the cargo hold. He knew that 50,000 taels of silver had been broken up and mixed in the grain. He casually opened a sack, reached in and took out a silver ingot.

, put it to the mouth and kissed it, with a pleasant smile on his face.

He Shaobai was in a great mood and couldn't help but hum: "Since I surrendered to the emperor's uncle, I have conquered the Wu Gorge alone. I have made great contributions by cutting off the pass and seizing the stronghold. If you don't believe it, the military commander will check it in the merit book...

…”

Several Jianghu friends nearby clapped their hands and applauded. He Shaobai became more and more proud and said: "With this money, we can perform a great show for the court. My dear friends, why don't you stay here and do something with Shaobai?"

Big business!"

"Master He can sing operas, but we can only watch operas."

"We still have a wife, children, and children at home. We just listen to the opera and don't care about eating. We have to keep our brains for food!"

"..."

He Shaobai shook his head slightly and said: "Okay, different ways do not mean to conspire against each other. Shaobai thanks you all for escorting me all the way. This is two thousand taels of silver. Tomorrow, brothers will not be able to see you off in person!"

The leader took the banknote, held it in his arms, clasped his fist to He Shaobai and said: "One day, when Master He returns home, the brothers will definitely serve you wine to wash away the wind and dust, and then listen to you sing the complete version of 'Dingjun'"

Mountain'."

"Shaobai is not an actor. I'm afraid you guys won't be able to hear the song 'Dingjun Mountain' I'm going to sing!"

Everyone got the money, was satisfied, ate some food, and crowded into the back cabin to rest.

He Shaobai took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was already a quarter of a hour. Hearing that there was no movement on the shore, he couldn't help but feel anxious and said to himself: "It's time for them to arrive -"

"We've been here a long time ago!" Someone on the boat answered.

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared at the cabin door.

"Ah...yes, it's you, Brother Xie, you, why are you here? You, why is there no movement at all in the aisle..."

He Shaobai's face turned pale and he was stammering at a loss for words.

"Wherever Brother Shaobai can go, Xie can also go." Xie Yutian sat opposite He Shaobai and looked at him with a smile.

After all, He Shaobai had seen big scenes, and he quickly regained his composure and said: "Brother Xie came just in time. Shaobai asked the brothers to go to the shore to get some food and wine..."

Xie Yutian waved his hand, "How can I spend money on this drink, Brother Shaobai? When we get to Tongzhou, Brother Yu will hold a banquet to thank you."

"Brother Xie, you're welcome. Why should we brothers mention the word "thank you"?

"Huh, I still have to thank you. After all, there are more than a dozen boxes of silver goods, two thousand miles from north to south, and there are countless twists and turns along the way. Brother Shaobai, your hard work is very rewarding!"

"Brother Xie, what do you mean by this?"

Xie Yutian tapped the cargo compartment partition under his feet with his toes, beat a rhythm with his legs, and hummed: "One is famous in Xichuan, and the other is guarding Changsha. The two veterans are on horseback, and they will come back after victory to add merit."

He Shaobai sang Huang Zhong and Xie Yutian played Zhuge Liang. He Shaobai became Xie Yutian's pawn both inside and outside the play.

Xie Yutian is here to get the money.

He Shaobai couldn't help but feel frightened. He originally thought that Xie Yutian was just a martial artist, but he didn't expect that he was so scheming that he could follow him all the way from Zhenjiang to Nanjing and even follow him on the ship.

You are careless, you are careless! If you had known this, you should have gone with him to Tongzhou first and dealt with the escort service. Now that the money is sitting under his butt, it will not be easy to deceive him.

"Xie Daxia, haven't we agreed that we should wait for Shaobai for a few days, and when I get the warrant from the Governor, we will go to Tongzhou Dasheng Cotton Factory together. How did you find this place?"

"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Bai Xian. There is ready money here, so why bother the Governor?"

Xie Yutian stood up as he spoke, whistled outside the cabin, and shouted in a long voice: "Hewu——"

Someone outside the cabin immediately responded: "Hewu——"

Then the boat started to move slowly.

"You are not alone? What are you going to do!" He Shaobai shouted.

"Everyone who runs an escort agency has friends from all over the world. How can I, Xie Yutian, be alone? Brother Shaobai, please sit down and come with me to Tongzhou, where the Jiangkou saury is the most delicious."

"Xie Daxia, you can't break your promise! Shaobai has already written an IOU to you, and the Fifth Master also signed it. This boat of money belongs to Shaobai!"

Xie Yutian ignored him and just looked at him with half-smiling eyes.

"Brothers, come here quickly, someone wants to steal the money!" He Shaobai shouted into the back cabin.

Everyone cheered and gathered around. He Shaobai said: "Go get a few people on the boat and stop the boat quickly."

Xie Yutian still sat still, looked at the northern men in front of him, and said with a smile: "If you don't do your business, don't lose your life for a little reward."

"Xie, how dare you kill someone?"

"People die for money, and birds die for food. For fifty thousand taels of silver, it is worth dying for a few people," Xie Yutian said.

"It's not necessarily who will die, there are many of us," He Shaobai said: "Xie Daxia, why bother? Shaobai talked to you all the way, why don't you understand? This money is used to do big things, not to pretend.

If you put it into my private pocket, He Shaobai, are you going to be an eternal sinner?!"

"Brother Shaobai, what you said is wrong. You stole Xie's bodyguard, but why did you make Xie a criminal? Hahaha, wouldn't Xie become an eternal injustice?"

The sound of "ping pong" came from the boat, only a few or two, and then became silent.

The ship is still slowly leaving the port.

Liang Zicheng walked in with the two people tied up, hugged his fist at He Shaobai, and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this the eldest young master of the He family? I'm glad to meet you."

"You, you've arrived in Nanjing too?" He Shaobai became more and more surprised.

What Liang Zicheng said was also what Xie Yutian said: "So what about Nanjing? Master He can come, but can't Mr. Liang come?"

"You, you six heroes are all here?"

"Master He said that our brothers have never seen the world, so we came here to broaden our horizons!" Liang Zicheng laughed loudly after saying this.

"You are really well-intentioned," He Shaobai said with a wry smile: "Xie Daxia, how did you know that this ship of money would not be separated immediately when it arrived in Nanjing, but what if it was transferred halfway?"

"Xie is so lucky!"

He Shaobai understood that Xie Yutian was speaking from his heart and that he was just trying his luck. Xie Yutian's luck was better than his own.

That day at the He Manor, Xie Yutian was passive. Whether it was listening to a play or drinking at night, it was all under the control of He Shaobai. With Mr. Wang and Wu present, Xie Yutian could not fall out, and there was no point in turning his back, because the money was already gone.

Not in the manor.

After being forced to accept the agreement to "borrow money", Xie Yutian sent the Five Heroes away, and the six brothers were unwilling to do so. After some analysis, Wei Canghai believed that He Shaobai was working in Nanjing, and the place he was most familiar with was Nanjing, where the money was settled.

The place could only be Nanjing. With such a huge sum of money, He Shaobai would not let others pass it easily, and would definitely wait until he arrived in Nanjing before handling it. So the Six Heroes unanimously decided to go south to try their luck, and if they could intercept the money, they would

It's a good thing, but if you can't stop it, you'll still have to follow He Shaobai's method.

So the Five Heroes took the lead and headed south along the canal, waiting for Xie Yutian's arrival in Zhenjiang.

The Escort's boat arrived in Zhenjiang and was very close to Tongzhou. He Shaobai did not go directly to Tongzhou but to Nanjing. This showed what was going on in his heart. So the Six Heroes caught up and followed He Shaobai all the way and finally caught him.
