Chapter 325 Bandit Encounter(1/2)

"Uncle Wang, this sickle helper should have their own rules, right?"

Sheng Changquan heard some of the differences from Wang Bo's words and asked, "They can't dare to rob anyone or any ship, right?"

"I heard what you mean. The Scythe Gang seems to be just catching those merchant ships, and the fishing boats will take action."

"I'm afraid that it won't be like this, like the official ship, or the like, right?"

Sheng Changquan grasped the key point and pondered and expressed his judgment.

In fact, don’t blame Sheng Changquan for being too ruthless and focusing on the safety of his own fleet, but he ignores the life and death of ordinary people.

After all, if he is not in his position and does not plan his own affairs, Sheng Changquan is now just a scholar and does not even have an official position. Naturally, he does not need to bother with these things.

What's more, the situation this time is different. He still has relatives around him. If something goes wrong, it would be bad.

It is precisely because of this that Sheng Changquan chose to focus on stability in everything, regardless of the snow on others.

"good!"

"What Mr. Sheng said is very correct!"

Wang Bo turned around in surprise and nodded at Sheng Changquan, as if surprised by his keenness.

"Actually, it's not just the Scythe Gang!"

"The same is true for those gangsters with some strength next to them!"

"They are all 'rules'!"

Although it was a bit ridiculous, Wang Bo still told Sheng Changquan and the others the "rules" on the river, saying: "The ships of the court cannot move, and the ships of the officials' families will not move either."

"But the latter needs to pay some money, one or two taels of toll for each person."

Don’t think that one tael is cheap. Not to mention that this tael of silver is already a living expense for an ordinary family for half a month, just like the water bandits on the Han River, after accumulating, almost everyone needs dozens of silver.

Speaking of this, Wang Bo couldn't help but look up at Sheng Changquan and others, and then explained: "But, please rest assured that the boat rental paid to our boat shop this time already includes this fee, so you don't need to spend any more money!"

Wang Bo said it very clearly, and this was a tactful way to tell Sheng Changquan and others that their family charges a high price, and that was also a reason.

"It's okay!"

Sheng Changquan shook his head slightly, not caring about money at all.

"As long as your boat trip can ensure our safety, just escort us back to Beijing!"

"As for these money, they are just things outside of your body!"

Sheng Changquan endured his inner reluctance and said these two words indifferently.

Next to him, He Hongwen didn't know Sheng Changquan's character and thought he was talking about his heart, so he nodded and agreed.

However, Minglan is not the case.

As Sheng Changquan's elder sister, she knew her younger brother very well. Now, when she heard the other party's "free and carefree" words, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked over with a little "thrilling" look.

"Ahem..."

Seeing the reactions of others, especially Minglan's expression, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but cough a few times in his heart.

Fortunately, the scene is wrong now, so Minglan did not expose it, but just sat quietly aside and listened carefully to the conversation between Sheng Changquan and Wang Bo.

"Yes! Yes!"

“This is natural!”

After understanding Sheng Changquan's subtext, Uncle Wang quickly nodded and directly agreed to the matter.

Wang Bo knew that this was Sheng Changquan secretly asking them to fulfill their promises and protect the safety of everyone.

However, their boat trip is not enough to ensure the safety of the guest officials even if they do this business?

Therefore, Wang Bo made his statement without hesitation.

When Wang Bo suddenly understood the wealth of these people and knew that the other party didn't care much about the money.

So he continued to speak and add, "Please rest assured, our boat trip has already opened up this waterway!"

"A few years ago, our leader personally discussed with all the bandit leaders along the way. We can ensure that as long as we pay the toll, we can go back to the capital safely and smoothly!"

It is obvious that the ship that Wang Bo belongs to is also a not simple force.

After all, the energy in which you can open up a situation in a mixed waterway is naturally not to be underestimated.

"I see!"

After listening to Wang Bo’s explanation, Sheng Changquan couldn’t help but nodded silently.

"It seems that this is similar to the news I found before, and there is no difference."

As she set off, Mrs. Sheng specifically reminded Sheng Changquan to keep vigilant on the road this time and never be careless. I think she also knows the current situation.

Therefore, before leaving, Sheng Changquan had already asked Xu Changqing to go out for information, and found some experts who made a living by water to ask them about the boat trip. Therefore, at this time, he was quite confident.

"But if this happens, then don't we just need to be careful of the small groups of water bandits now?"

Sheng Changquan suddenly raised his eyebrows and thought to himself in his heart.

"From the current situation, those strong and well-informed water bandits don't have to worry about it."

"After all, they dare not take action randomly, so as not to really anger the court."

"When the time comes, if it really makes the court angry and then leads to a large army, then they will not be able to leave!"

"At that time, I'm afraid that no one's black gloves will be destroyed directly!"

In fact, most of these people who can collect tolls on the Han River are related to the nobles and wealthy families in the court. Otherwise, they would not have been free and unrestrained for so long and have not been defeated by the court.

After all, although this dynasty was defeated by Liang Kingdom during the time of Huizong, after so many years, the dynasty's foundation had already developed back, and it was even more than that of Huizong's succession!

Otherwise, there would be so many ministers in the court shouting and clamoring to conquer the lost territory.

After all, when fighting, you have to have food, grass, and soldiers. If the country is not strong, how can you start a war?

After saying that, Sheng Changquan suddenly realized that on the way, their most dangerous enemy was not the large bandits with sufficient staff, but the wandering soldiers who didn't know anything and didn't even understand the rules of tacit understanding with the court.

They are the biggest enemies of this trip!

Sheng Changquan was also a little amused and confused about this.

However, those small groups of water bandits are all brave people.

If he really faces them, Sheng Changquan dares to conclude that even if the dragon ship of the official family is here, these guys will probably dare to take a knife!

After all, these people are forced to get into this dead end.

As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes, and these people happen to be like this.

"well!"

"It seems that the most dangerous thing at the moment is these bandits who don't know how high the sky is! "

Sheng Changquan frowned, with a headache on his face.

"Well, Wang Uncle Wang is afraid that this will be said in the next time?"

Sheng Changquan suddenly looked up at Wang Bo opposite, ready to hear what he said.

Sure enough, before Sheng Changquan could think about it carefully, Wang Uncle spoke again.

What he said confirmed Sheng Changquan's conjecture and affirmed his imaginary enemy.

"In addition, the old man has to remind the nobles!"

"Even if we have paid the toll, we cannot be careless!"

Seeing Minglan and He Hongwen's obvious relaxed expressions, Wang Bo couldn't help but pluck his courage and said respectfully: "Because, in addition to the bandits gathered together, there are also some lone heroes!"

"And these people are the most terrifying!"

"The Mavericks?"

The few people in the field, except Sheng Changquan, were shocked!

Not only Minglan doesn’t understand, but even He Hongwen doesn’t understand.

"Uncle Wang, are these lone heroes stronger than the people from the Scythe Gang?"

He Hongwen thinks that it shouldn’t be easier to deal with in small people?

Why do you feel that Wang Bo is even more afraid of those lone heroes?

He Hongwen stared at Wang Bo tightly, looking puzzled.

"this……"

Bo Wang swallowed his saliva, as if he had recalled some terrible scene. He wiped the cold sweat from his face and said in a deep voice: "Young Lord He doesn't know anything!"

"These Mavericks are not rule-abiding people!"

Wang Bo said with a calm face and explained to He Hongwen: "If they are targeted, then let alone us. Even if it is the emperor's dragon boat, they are afraid they will dare to rush up!"

"These people are truly unforbidden!"

Wang Bo looked helpless.
