Chapter 153 Tracking
Feng Qi stood in the bow of the boat and looked around warily.
This time, I escorted the master to Gaoyou Mansion to congratulate the 60th birthday of the mother of Li Qi, the governor of Gaoyou. Many big families around came. Although they did not see the face of the magistrate, they just sent the gift post in. If they could receive it, it showed that they had sold their face.
Liu Ziren was unwilling to lag behind and gave him a golden peach specially created. However, if it was all made of gold, it was a little too expensive. The craftsmanship was exquisite, with lead on the inside and gold skin on the outside. Even so, the cost of making this thing also made Liu Ziren painful, but he saw his own The birthday ceremony was accepted by the magistrate, and Liu Ziren still had a sense of satisfaction.
It's easy to have such an opportunity to have a relationship with the magistrate. Who is willing to let it go? The gift is so shabby that I'm embarrassed to take it out.
After the birthday, everyone stayed for a few more days before they returned home.
Liu Ziren took his family and went back to Xinghua in a boat.
Suddenly, Feng Qi found that one of the ships sailing in front of him was very similar to the ship that was robbed a few months ago.
In fact, most of the boats are very similar. Feng Qi began to think that he had seen it wrong, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt good. The mast was interrupted, with traces of splint connection, the holes on the sail, sealed patches, everything looked so pleasing to the eye, which made him suspicious.
"Sir, the ship in front is a little suspicious." Feng Qi said.
"What's suspicious?" Liu Ziren is still recalling his days in Gaoyou, considering whether he should buy some industry in Gaoyou and move his home to Gaoyou.
"The ship in front of us is a bit like the grain ship we were robbed!" Feng Qi said.
"What?" Liu Ziren's pupils immediately shrank. This was a faint pain in his heart. The food was robbed and several people died. He finally moved the county Yin Lizheng and asked Hadan Bartel to lead the people to encircle and suppress Furong Village. As a result, he touched his nose. After returning, he was blackmailed again and finally settled the matter.
However, this matter has been deeply branded in Liu Ziren's mind. He is in Xinghua. In Dingxi, he is also a big-headed person. He was disgraced by this matter. Although those silver made him painful, his face was damaged, which made him hold a grudge. He went to the magistrate of Gaoyou and hoped to pull it up. Relations, send troops to destroy the group of poles in Furong Village.
Now, his ship appears on the river again, indicating something. Needless to say, he also knows that the ship was robbed by them. So now, the ship is likely to be the group of people who robbed his ship!
"Follow up and be careful not to be discovered by them." Liu Ziren said.
"But, my lord, if the other party is really a pole, I'm afraid we can't protect you." Feng Qi said.
Although he took a total of more than 20 family members this time, Feng Qi's last battle with the pole was still fresh in his memory. The people themselves, the masters, just wanted to make a living, and the other party did the thing of licking blood on the edge of the knife. If they really fight, even if the number of people has an advantage, the other party will not be easy to mess with. If it's not good, the master has been kidnapped, which is troublesome.
When Liu Ziren heard Feng Qi's words, he remembered that he made a fool of himself in front of Furongzhai last time, and his heart was also lingering.
"Then let's watch them slip away like this?" Liu Ziren was unwilling.
"Sir, you should not be involved in danger in person. Let's send a few people to row a small boat and quietly follow behind. Isn't it enough? Our ship is big, and the goal is too obvious.
Liu Ziren listened and said, "Feng Qi, then you take two people. Let's go to the shore in front of us and rent a boat. Remember, be sure to find out where they are docked for me."
Feng Qi's face immediately drooped down. The poles were not easy to mess with. If he didn't do it well, he had to be buried there. Why did he talk too much just now? He couldn't wait to slap himself twice.
"You find two of the most powerful men and find each other's docking place, each of whom is fifty taels of silver." Liu Ziren said.
Only then did Feng Qi calm down and make up his mind. He followed him far away and was ready to escape at any time. Last time, the team of hundreds of people was defeated. This time, there were only a few people, and it was not enough to stuff his teeth. Just come back and make up a place.
"Yes, my lord." Feng Qi said, "Sir, don't worry, I won't let them run away this time."
"Hmm." Liu Ziren touched a tch under his chin and looked at the boat in front of him. He was planning in his heart that he could not find Yin Lizheng in Xinghua County this time. He did not have much hope for the combat effectiveness of Xinghua County. This time, he must go to Gaoyou to move troops. A Gaoyoufu can't deal with a few poles?
Feng Qi found a small boat and went to "rich" with his two most trusted brothers. Fifty taels of silver, this adventure is still worth it.
"Wo, wao." As the oars enter the water, some waves are stirred up.
"Hurry up, keep up with the ship in front of you. Don't lose it." Feng Qi stood in the bow of the boat, looked at the boat getting farther and farther away in front of him, and said.
Just now, I went ashore to look for the boat, which took some time. Now, the suspicious ship is about to disappear from sight, which makes Feng Qi a little anxious. At the beginning, he lost it. After going back, he probably won't get the reward.
The two boatmans rowed hard. They just went to rent a boat, and even the boatman was rented together.
"Master Seven, do you think that ship is really the one we were robbed of? Didn't we have two robbed? What about the other one? A family man said.
"You idiot, if two ships have been robbed, will the two ships come out together to show off?" Feng Qi said.
"Seventh Master, what if the pole robs our ship and sells it to someone else?" Another familyman said.
"This... is really possible." Feng Qi pondered for a moment: "Let's follow up and have a look first."
After a day, I didn't see the boat in front of me until the afternoon. I went into the river and sailed to Desheng Lake.
"Master Seven, there's something wrong." The man just now said, "Furong Village is in the north, but the boat in front did not turn north, but then went east into Desheng Lake."
Feng Qi also saw it, that is to say, it is likely that this ship is not the poles, but sold to others? Or is this ship just similar to the two ships that were robbed, but not at all? Feng Qi began to be a little suspicious.
"Master Seven, are we still following forward?" The boatman asked.
Feng Qi wanted to say, forget it, go back, but he said, "Then follow up and see where they pass the victory lake and sail. If there is no flaws, we will go back."
What he didn't expect was that this decision made him go through the ghost door, and the two familymen around him could no longer receive the fifty taels of reward.
