As soon as a group of men in black jumped on, the boat sailed away from the shore. By the time Wang Xian and the others ran out of breath to the riverside, the boat had already sailed several feet away.
"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!" the squad leader gave the order, and the soldiers took off their bows, set up arrows, and aimed at the ship.
"What a fart!" Wang Xian kicked the squad leader in the butt and cursed: "There are still people on the ship!"
"Just watch them escape?" Hu Captou, who was middle-aged and fat, could hardly catch up without being out of breath.
"Don't worry, you can't run away." Wang Xian showed his trademark fox smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, several speedboats were seen drawn out of the reed swamp, surrounding the black awningless boat.
Inspector Ma was wearing a battle robe and holding a shield. He stood on the leading speedboat and said loudly: "You have been surrounded. Put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise you will die..."
In order to cooperate with the intimidation of the inspector, the archers on the speedboat fired arrows one after another. Although most of the arrows fell into the water, there were still a few arrows that hit the side of the ship, making a frightening banging sound.
The man in black on the boat didn't dare to be too big, so he actually took out his shield and raised it for protection. This time, Lao Hu was shocked: "This is the standard badge of the army. These thieves have a lot of background!"
What was even more shocking was the man in black releasing a red firework. Not long after the firework exploded in the night sky, there was an earth-shattering sound, and a water column more than ten feet high rose into the sky, almost overturning it.
Got a speedboat.
Hearing the sound of cannon fire, all the officers on the clipper ship were so frightened that they lay face down on the ship. How could they bother to shoot arrows?
Everyone on the shore followed the sound and saw a large ship coming from upstream. Although the ship was big, it was very fast. The shot just now was fired by this ship.
Hu Captou had sharp eyes. When he saw the ship, his face turned pale and he said, "Isn't this a naval warship prepared for Japan? Why did you get away and get us here?"
"Are they from the government?" Wang Xian was also stunned. Which song was this song from? Fortunately, the more nervous he became, the calmer he became. He ordered Hu Captou: "The situation has changed, let the brothers
Stop it all!”
In fact, there was no need to give orders. The officers on both land and water were stunned by this formation. They were just county militiamen. How could they dare to mess with the imperial navy!
In the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, firing artillery was the exclusive preserve of the King's division, and those who had artillery fire must be the elite troops of the imperial court...
The warship was getting closer and closer. It was three stories tall and more than two feet high. It was dark and oppressive under the moonlight, like a moving castle, slowly approaching the ant-like Fuyang official.
The awning boat came up and clung to the side of the battleship. At this time, a ladder was hung from the battleship, and the men in black picked up a few constables to board the ladder.
"We are from the Fuyang County government, and these are the officials of our government!" Suddenly the officials on the shore shouted together: "Which department are you from? If you have anything to say, let us go first!"
The man in black ignored him at all, boarded the boat and walked away...
On the shore, Wang Xian and Hu Captou were dumbfounded. What kind of god is this? Why is he so awesome?
"Chase!" Wang Xian was the first to come to his senses and jumped onto a speedboat with red eyes. If he went back like this, how would he explain to the families of the brothers who were kidnapped?
"But sir, they have cannons..." the sailor said timidly.
"Next time you let someone arrest you, I'll turn around and leave!" Wang Xian kicked him over and yelled: "If I lose him, you can take care of their parents' babies!"
This sentence really worked. Several fast boats suddenly accelerated and chased the naval battleship...
On the top floor of the battleship stood a dozen strong men, all with cold faces, broad shoulders and thin waists, and thick legs. They were wearing black night clothes, leggings, and fast boots.
There was no movement on the deck, but it felt like a dozen black panthers choosing to devour anyone, full of dangerous explosive power.
But these tough guys can't do anything against the several clippers that are closely behind them. Although the cannons on their ships can easily blast these small boats to pieces, the other party is an official officer after all. If it makes a big fuss, they will definitely be punished.
What a shame...
The big men looked at the leader, a middle-aged warrior with a charred face. The man squinted and said, "Have you found out the identities of the three Taoist priests?"
"When I returned to Master Jiu, they said that they were agents from Fuyang County. In order to find out the truth about the recent abduction case of monks, they pretended to be Taoist priests." A warrior in black said respectfully: "They have agents with them.
The waistband should be real."
"Damn it, this Fuyang County is weird." The middle-aged samurai scolded, "Give these three guys back."
"Master Hu hasn't seen it yet." Another warrior in black reminded in a low voice.
What answered him was a heavy kick from the middle-aged warrior. The warrior did not dare to dodge and fell to his knees like a straw, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Remember, the surname of the Governor is Ji, not Hu!" the middle-aged warrior said in a solemn tone: "If anyone dares to use the surname Hu to suppress me, it won't be as cheap as a kick! Do you understand?"
"Here!" all the black-clothed warriors responded in unison.
Wang Xian's clipper was in hot pursuit when he saw three humanoid objects being dropped from the battleship one after another and plopped into the water.
"Hurry up and save people!" Wang Xian didn't care about chasing anymore and immediately ordered people into the water.
Fortunately, southerners are good at water. Dozens of people jumped into the water and soon caught three men. It was the three unlucky detectives...
"Fortunately, I'm still breathing."
After hearing Captain Hu's report, Wang Xianfang breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's a pity that the battleship has disappeared." Inspector Ma pretended to be responsible.
"If there is no shadow, then there will be no shadow." Wang Xian said indifferently: "Do you really want to fight with the gods?"
"Haha, I don't want to." Inspector Ma shook his head and said, "What kind of god do you think this is?"
"It doesn't matter who he is," Wang Xian shrugged, "Just don't let us run into each other again."
"That's right!" Inspector Ma greatly agreed: "Call it off and go back to sleep!"
.
It was already early in the morning when Wang Xian returned home, and the lights at home had long been out. He took a fire stick and lit a candle, only to find little Jasmine lying on the table, sleeping soundly.
Wang Xian went over to pat her and wanted to tell her to go to bed, but Yu Shek suddenly woke up. He wiped off the saliva with the back of his hand, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said: "Master, you are back, I will get you water to wash your feet..."
…”
"It's too late to wash up. Go to bed quickly." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."
"No, if the young lady knew that I made the young master go to bed without washing his feet, he would scold me to death." But Yu Shek insisted: "Young master, please hold on, it will be quick." After saying that, he hurriedly went to get water to prepare.
, Wang Xian had no choice but to sit down on the chair.
Jade Musk brought water and quickly took off Wang Xian's shoes. Speaking of which, there is no blessing that no one can't enjoy. At first, little Jasmine wanted to wash Wang Xian's feet, but he refused in embarrassment and said, I can wash it myself. In the end,
Little Jasmine cried on the spot. Wang Xian asked why are you crying? Yu She said that the young master dislikes the maidservant...
Wang Xian is so sweaty, okay, okay, you can wash your feet if you want. There is a little beauty washing his feet, which is something a man can only ask for. He is just not used to it, and someone washes his feet without paying...
Since then, Wang Xian has never washed his feet, washed his head or even taken a bath. He has degenerated so fast that he truly deserves the education of the Party and the people.
Although little Jasmine is young, she has a lot of skill with her hands. She made Wang Xian feel comfortable all over and her whole face relaxed, "Yu She, your technique is very powerful."
"My maid learned it from Sister Hanyan next door..." Yu Shek raised her head, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and said seriously on her face: "She said that as long as my maid learns half of the skills, there is no need to worry.
The young master will drive me away."
"You learn from her..." Wang Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly. The smoking girl was the young wife of Secretary Feng in the military room. It is said that she was originally a thin horse from Yangzhou and was raised by a wealthy businessman for seven or eight years. Later, the wealthy businessman died, and the eldest wife
Sold her to Feng Sibing.
When he thought of the charming girl with a cigarette, looking from head to toe, the wind flowed down, from the feet to the head, the wind flowed upward, Wang Xian swallowed and spit, then looked at the pure and childish little Jasmine, he actually wanted to worship her as his teacher,
He couldn't help but want to shout loudly...must study hard!
After a while of random thoughts, Wang Xian's mind drifted to the battleship. In Zhejiang Province, there is no one else who can dispatch battleships except Count Tang. But what is Count Tang doing by arresting those fake monks? Could it be to purify the religion of the province?
Contribute to the team?
Then I think of that Imperial Envoy Hu who was procrastinating about whether he would come or not. He also came for the monks and Taoists and wanted to check their ultimatums... In a small place like Fuyang, there are not many eminent monks or great virtues. I am afraid that Imperial Envoy Hu is also here.
Are you looking for a certain fake monk or Taoist priest?
Considering that Hu Tong has been searching for nearly five years, who exactly is the fake monk Tao that the court spent so much time searching for?
Wang Xian couldn't understand, or he didn't dare to think or didn't want to understand, because when the truth was revealed, he, a little shrimp, might also be swallowed up...
'In any case, Envoy Hu has visited hundreds of prefectures and counties without any accidents.' Wang Xian secretly made up his mind: 'I don't care if he looks for gods or ghosts, just cooperate fully...'
There was no conversation all night. The next morning, Wang Xian had just gotten up and Yu Shek was combing his hair. The informant he had arranged for in the county came to report in a panic: "Sir, the imperial envoy's ship has arrived in our county, and it will be at the dock in a blink of an eye."
"Hurry and inform the second master!" Wang Xian hurriedly put on his clothes and picked up his shoes, but found that it was faster to do it himself.
After a while, Wang Xian rushed to the Yamen and met the equally panicked Jiang County Magistrate. The two of them rushed to the pier with the ceremonial guards. Before he could catch his breath, he saw several warships going upstream and leaving the pier.
Getting closer.
Looking at those naval warships, Hu Captou whispered to Wang Xian: "The third ship is the one last night..."
Wang Xian nodded, and Jiang Xiancheng hurried to greet the flagship with the official title plate.
The flagship slowly docked. A middle-aged official in a sixth-grade uniform, accompanied by several monks, stood on the deck and smiled at the two of them.
