The slightly cool water vapor hits your face, and the mountains in the distance are green with pines and cypresses, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
But this river also blocked Wang Chen's way.
Fortunately, there is a ferry boat along the river.
There are large and small ferries, and because they guard the official road between east and west, business is quite prosperous.
Wang Chen did not go to the big ferry with others, but hired a small boat and asked the boatman to take him directly to the Jiangan Pier in Linjiang City.
Linjiang Linjiang, just by looking at the name, you know that this county town is on the riverside.
"Sir, are you going to Linjiang to visit relatives and friends?"
When all the people and horses got on the boat, the boatman opened the long bamboo pole and asked Wang Chen curiously.
Normally he doesn't talk so much, but seeing that Wang Chen is very young and extremely handsome, he talks more.
Wang Chen replied calmly: "Doing business."
Seeing Wang Chen's serious expression, the boatman didn't dare to ask any more questions.
A small boat traveled along the river. After traveling for about ten miles, we saw a county town surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The boatman skillfully docked the boat to the edge of the pier.
When Wang Chen was paying the boat fare, the dark-skinned boatman couldn't help but remind him: "Brother, Linjiang has been in chaos recently. You must be careful and don't talk to strangers."
Wang Chen felt dumbfounded, but the other party obviously had good intentions, so he gave him a few more copper coins.
Then he led the yellow gelding to the dock.
Linjiang County has convenient water and land transportation, so there are many business travelers traveling from north to south. The docks are bustling with people soliciting customers, transporting people, doing business, and selling snacks and tea. It is a hustle and bustle.
Among them there are inevitably some idle people looking around.
Wang Chen, who had just arrived at the dock, immediately attracted the attention of some people.
Although Wang Chen was wearing ordinary clothes, his height, body shape, appearance, and the yellow gelding he was holding made him undoubtedly stand out in this chaotic land!
"Sir, is this your first time in Jiangxi?"
An idle man came over with a playful smile: "Would you like to hire a guide? I, Huang Laoliu, are the most familiar in the county. You can just give me a few copper coins."
While he was stopping Wang Chen, several other people came from different directions, forming a siege.
It also separated Wang Chen from other people on the dock.
Many people around noticed this scene, some were gloating about the misfortune, and some showed sympathy.
There were also some who hesitated to intervene, but in the end no action was taken.
Wang Chen, who was surrounded by people, frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "No need, you go away."
The idle man who called himself Huang Laoliu was completely unmoved and gave his companion a wink.
One of them reached out and pushed towards Wang Chen's shoulder: "Why are you talking to our sixth brother?"
At the same time, another person grabbed the luggage hanging next to the saddle.
These local ruffians cooperated very well and had done the same thing countless times.
Click!
The next moment, the right hand of the idle man who pushed Wang Chen suddenly bent downwards, and was unexpectedly twisted off.
"ah!"
A shrill scream suddenly sounded.
And it was twice.
Behind Wang Chen, a severed hand hung bloody on the luggage.
The idle man, who had lost his right hand, staggered back two steps, opened his eyes in disbelief, and then fainted and fell to the ground.
No one could see clearly how his hand was broken!
Huang Laoliu, who was standing in front of Wang Chen, turned pale instantly and stepped back involuntarily.
Just now, he saw Wang Chen's figure move, and then a flash of silver light flashed across his body, and the two companions suffered great misfortune at the same time.
Master!
Huang Laoliu never expected that the little sheep he had chosen today would turn out to be a tiger with sharp claws and fangs!
"Killing, killing!"
But Huang Laoliu's companion didn't think so much. His head was dizzy under the severe pain, and he screamed heartbreakingly.
Onlookers nearby backed away.
"What happened?"
Only a moment later, several police officers separated from the crowd and rushed over aggressively.
Huang Laoliu was overjoyed when he saw the visitor, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Captain Li!"
He quickly shouted: "Hurry, catch this murderer, he just cut off my brother's hand!"
It is absolutely impossible to survive in Jiang'an Wharf without a license from the local police.
Huang Laoliu has a good relationship with the other party, and they always show their filial piety.
Once something goes wrong, Capt. Li can help him sort it out.
It is precisely because of this that Huang Laoliu becomes more and more courageous and acts more arrogantly!
"How brave!"
The policeman who just rushed over was an ugly looking man. He held a chain in his hand and shouted at Wang Chen: "Kneel down!"
But the next moment, the ferocious look on Capt. Li's face turned into shock, and the chain he just raised fell down powerlessly.
In front of his eyes, a waistband with red letters on a black background suddenly appeared.
"Blood, blood-clothed guard..."
Beads of sweat as big as peas appeared on Capt. Li's forehead. His lips trembled a few times as he struggled to utter a few words.
Bloody Guard!
This word seemed like a magic spell, instantly making the surroundings extremely quiet.
Everyone looked at Wang Chen with fear on their faces.
Who would have thought that such a handsome young man could turn out to be an extremely cruel member of the blood-clothed guard!
Huang Laoliu's eyes turned black and he almost fainted.
He forgot to read the almanac when he went out today!
"Captain Li, right?"
Wang Chen, who was holding his belt card, said calmly: "These people robbed in public, how do you plan to punish them?"
"Grasp!"
Capt. Li squeezed out one word through his teeth, and then yelled at his agents like crazy: "What are you doing standing still? Arrest all these guys. Anyone who resists will be killed!"
Several detectives woke up from a dream and immediately arrested Huang Laoliu and others like wolves and tigers.
Huang Laoliu didn't dare to resist at all.
He still has a chance to survive after being thrown into jail. If he resists arrest at this moment, he will definitely die. Capt. Li will never care about his past friendship.
Maybe even use his head to please this young blood-clothed guard!
But it's too late to regret.
After the detectives took Huang Laoliu and others away, Capt. Li bowed to Wang Chen in fear and saluted: "My lord, are you going to the guardhouse now? I will lead the way for you!"
Strictly speaking, this person's name for Wang Chen is incorrect.
Wang Chen is a new member of the blood-clothed guard who has no rank and cannot be called "adult".
But compared to Capt. Li, his status is much higher.
In fact, even the big and small officials in Linjiang County did not dare to show Wang Chen's face easily.
However, Li Captou saw that the wind was changing the steering wheel too quickly, and Wang Chen was new here, so he no longer hesitated: "Thank you."
Li Captou bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, your words are serious!"
