After Boss Mao was shocked, he saw that Tu Jiang was hesitant to speak and was embarrassed.
He couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, gentlemen, I would like to say a few words, is that okay?"
After getting Xiao Muting's instruction, Yang Chun nodded to him: "What do you want to say, just say it."
Boss Mao looked at Tu Jiang who was kneeling on the ground again, and felt that it was inappropriate for him to speak while standing, so he knelt down too.
"Your Highness, I, Mao Cai, am a rough man and don't know how to speak politely. But I have known Lao Tu for two years. We have known each other since the first day he came to this dock to look for work.
Tu's family has a wife and a child, and they live in poverty. I also know that he is good at water, quick at work, and has good skills. But I really don't know. It turns out that he is still an official. But, I think there is a reason for the old Tu Ding.
He would do this. Otherwise, if he survived the catastrophe, why didn't he go back? Moreover, he is an official. If he goes back, he might be promoted. I don't know much about fighting, but I know about fighting.
, there are wins and losses, no one is a victorious general, don’t be afraid if you lose, you can fight back next time when you have a chance, but if someone is killed, there will really be no next time..."
After Boss Mao finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of the people present and saw that none of them looked particularly angry. Then he reached out and stabbed Tu Jiang next to him: "Old Tu, your surname is Tu, but you are
I'm not confused at all. Why don't you explain it to His Highness King Chen? Maybe, I don't know, you can save your life. Don't play with your stubborn temper. When you are unhappy, you will be like a boring gourd, and you can't be beaten with ten sticks.
What a fart, don't forget, you still have a wife and children, and your wife is waiting for your wages to buy medicine to survive."
Tu Jiang was so moved by his words that he lay down on the deck and began to cry softly. Listening to his suppressed cries, he felt really distressed and sad.
Xiao Muting still looked at Tu Jiang lying there with no expression on his face. He didn't urge or ask, he just watched.
After listening to Boss Mao's words, Su Han raised his head to Yang Chun: "Help him follow me."
Yang Chun picked up Boss Mao and led him to follow Su Han towards the stern of the ship.
Sitting on the cable on the stern deck, Su Han raised his head to Boss Mao: "I just heard what you said, you still know a lot about Tu Jiang during his stay in Bai Feng City. He married a wife and had a child. How old is the child?
"
"I have just turned one year old." Boss Mao grinned sadly and said: "Young master, to be honest, we people make money with our own efforts. We don't have much money, and we only rely on supporting our families.
, Lao Tu, the day I met him, I felt that he was a troubled person in his heart, but I didn’t dare to ask deeply. In the past few years, he has really kept quiet about his work. He just doesn’t like to talk, and he doesn’t talk to us.
When people fool around together for a long time, he will also say a few words. Only then did I know about his family situation. Lao Tu’s wife has been ill for many years, and her face was burned by a fire. She just last year
He gave birth to a son, but he was also very weak. At that time, he was worried that he would not be able to support him and wanted to give it away."
"He really never mentioned that he was originally a lieutenant general in the army?" Yang Chun asked in confusion.
Mao Cai shook his head: "I didn't mention it at all. If I did, how could I not know about it at all? To say that I was surprised was because we intercepted these four ships together these two times. The three ships before were easy to say, and those
If someone plays tricks on us, we can just take him down, but this time it’s different. To be honest with Mr. Yang, I didn’t understand a word of what he said at Qingshiya. Later, during the action, he said, I
I don’t quite understand what the draft is, what the equivalent cabin is, the width of the ship and the weight of the ship, I really don’t understand much.”
Yang Chun glanced at Su Han, who was still calm, and wondered what else she wanted to ask.
Su Han nodded lightly: "So, he has been here in Bai Feng City for two years, and you are actually not familiar with him."
Mao Cai was about to shake his head, then nodded again: "Really, to be familiar with him means to know him, to know who he is. When it comes to his personal affairs, I really don't know much about him, but I know that his little wife,
He is not from our local area, let alone from the Cangque County area. His accent is a bit strange. I heard the little monkey say that it seems to be the accent of people from the Minjiang area... And... this person is also very strange. He never leaves the house.
We heard, also talking through the door panel, that once the little monkey went to find Boss Tu, and saw a black shadow flashing across the room, but he was frightened..."
"Go and ask where Tu Jiang was defeated." Su Han raised his head to Yunlan.
She cleverly ran to the deck ahead.
Su Han also waved to Boss Mao, pointed to the seat opposite, and asked him to sit down and chat.
"Don't be afraid. In fact, you all should be rewarded. Naturally, you can't do your work in vain. As long as you have contributed, you will naturally get paid. Tu Jiang's incident was an accident and should not be counted.
Peace of mind, your heads." Su Han nodded to him.
After Boss Mao glanced at him, he pursed his lips and nodded again: "I understand this. I can still trust His Highness Chen Wang in his actions, but... Young Master, can you please beg His Highness Chen Wang again? I think Lao Tu
He doesn’t look like that kind of person. Is there some reason behind this? Don’t unjustly accuse him again.”
Su Han nodded: "Yes, I will question him carefully and will not convict him hastily."
"Well, if something happens to Lao Tu, his wife and son probably won't survive either..." Boss Mao sighed helplessly.
Yang Chun asked: "Why, even if that woman is sick, she can't do any work, right?"
"You don't know, that woman was not only burned on her face, but also on her hands and feet. If it weren't for Lao Tu who took care of her, she would have starved to death. I think he said that day that his wife's condition was getting serious again. Maybe
It also has something to do with the burn. And the child who is just one year old is really difficult for any family to raise for us. With this extra mouth, I’m afraid no one will dare to take care of him. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just hold him.
He went back, he only has one life anyway, how can we really watch him starve to death?" Boss Mao shook his head in embarrassment and helplessness.
Su Han understood that what he said was the truth. One more person means one more mouth. For a family with a difficult life, this will undoubtedly make things worse. But he can still make such a decision. It shows that this small fortune can be the boss on this dock.
It's also related to his righteousness.
At this time, Yunlan ran back and whispered in her ear: "I asked, it was at the entrance of the Minhuai River and Qinghai. At that time, they fought against a group of fierce bandits in the Minhuai Mountains."
"Bandits? Why are they on the ship...oh...pirates!" Su Han said with a slight frown.
Yunlan said again: "Tu Jiang said that it was a war three years ago. At that time, the Marquis of Sichuan Hai sent the entire Sichuan Navy and the entire army to carry out an all-out counterattack. The purpose was to clear out this fierce force that had been entrenched here.
Some of the bandits attacked the mountain, and some intercepted them on the water. He was the intercepting team at that time. The battle was very fierce. It was also because of the strong strength of these bandit fleets that the battle lasted for five days.
Woolen cloth."
"How did you lose?" Su Han asked.
Yunlan replied: "It was not that the Marquis of Chuanhai was defeated, but that the ship he led sank because of a sudden heavy fog on the sea. The two ships collided, a fire broke out, and the ship was destroyed and everyone died...
…”
"Two ships collided? The ship was destroyed and everyone was killed...fire..." Su Han narrowed his eyes again.
