Turbulent Times Chapter 936: The return of light rain
When Lian Zhongtao heard this, he was overjoyed. Although the prefect did not specify his position, it was obvious that he wanted to reuse him. He quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness in rebuilding."
Wang Junlin said: "Okay, if you become someone close to me, you won't have to bow down every day, and you won't have to do this big gift again in the future."
Lian Zhongtao got up quickly, and said respectfully: "A grown-up is like a villain who regenerates his parents, and a villain will definitely serve the adult to his death."
Wang Junlin and his party were about to return to the post station, when suddenly there was an exclamation from the place where the salt workers and slaves gathered not far away, and some Yan Ding at the nearby coastal port exclaimed: "It's such a big boat, isn't it? Pirates..."
Wang Junlin was startled, and quickly looked towards the sea. A big ship was sailing towards them at a fast speed. He saw that this direction was directly facing the position where he was standing, without any deviation, and the route was clearly straight.
"This... how can there be such a big sea-going ship in the world?" Lian Zhongtao looked in disbelief.
Although Wang Junlin has not seen many sea ships in this era, he knows that this ship will be considered a big ship even in later generations. The most important thing is that it is clearly a wooden ship. Perhaps in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He When sailing to the West, people were able to build such a large sea-going ship, but at that time it was nearly a thousand years before the Sui Dynasty, and it was built after a thousand years of navigation and shipbuilding development, okay?
"Xiao Yu is back..." Wang Junlin heaved a long sigh of relief, and the strings that had been in his heart for a long time were completely let go. This kind of giant ship that should not appear in this era, except Nie Xiaoyu in this era, who else can figure it out.
The salt field has its own port where ships can berth, but it is controlled by Yan Ding. Seeing the big ship approaching, it is like facing a big enemy.
Wang Junlin hurried over with his men, but when he rushed over, Dong Kang brought Yanding Captains Lu Zhongding and Lu Sanwa and gathered more than 500 Yandings to guard the port, ready to fight.
"Refer to the prefect, there is an unknown ship approaching, suspected of being a pirate, and my subordinates have already led people to prepare for the battle." Dong Kang came over to salute, Lu Sanwa and Lu Zhongding were busy arranging troops and setting up a line of defense, but there was no come over.
"The people on this boat are my followers, remove the salt and let the boat dock!" Wang Junlin said in an unquestionable tone.
Dong Kang was stunned for a moment, thinking that such a big boat belonged to the prefect, but no matter how big the boat was, it could only hold three or four hundred people, so he didn't take it to heart. While thinking about who it might be, he said, "I'm going to deliver the order right now."
Dong Kang conveyed the prefect's order to the two captains of Yanding. I don't know how the three discussed it, but they just let the port go, and did not evacuate.
Wang Junlin narrowed his eyes and gave the two Yanding captains a cold look, but didn't say anything, letting them watch from the side.
The speed of the giant ship was very fast, and it didn't take long to moor at the port. Perfume, Luo Shixin, and Li Xuanba waved to Wang Junlin excitedly without waiting for the giant ship to stop. Nie Xiaoyu, Xiangxiang and Luo Shixin existed like relatives, and they were also very happy to see them returning safely at this time, and waved their hands.
Dong Kang, Lu Sanwa, and Lu Zhongding saw women and children standing on the boat, and they were relieved. They thought to themselves, could this be the family of the prefect, but where did they come from, why did they appear from the sea in a big boat, and This big ship is brand new, it has only been built for a few days.
No matter what kind of doubts they had in their hearts, when the big ship docked at the port, Wang Junlin waved his hand to let the guards around him come forward and helped set up a plank for people to disembark.
Then Nie Xiaoyu and more than two hundred and fifty people got off the boat one by one, and Wang Junlin greeted them happily.
At this moment, Lu Zhongding's face suddenly changed, and he lost his voice: "He...he is Zhang Yongming, I know, they are the noble children of the three counties in the south who were robbed by pirates some time ago."
Wang Junlin stopped abruptly. He just ignored Nie Xiaoyu's safe return just now, and Nie Xiaoyu probably thought that the people here were reliable and reassuring people, so he didn't take it for a while. thing.
Wang Junlin turned his head and looked coldly at Lu Zhongding and Lu Sanwa and Dong Kang who also changed their expressions. These three can be regarded as important figures in the Lu Group. Moreover, the three of them were not stupid, and instantly understood that the prefect sent someone to rescue the noble children from the three counties in the south who were hijacked by the pirates of Snake Island. After thinking about something, after his complexion changed several times, Dong Kang opened his mouth and wanted to take someone to say goodbye to the prefect, so as to find an opportunity to inform Lu Shi as soon as possible.
Wang Junlin was the first to say: "Master Dong, according to the agreement between me and Lu Erye, these noble children from the three counties in the south who were hijacked by pirates will be picked up by Mrs. Lu. I know that you are Mrs. Lu in the salt field." representatives, take them away!"
The faces of nearly a hundred nobles from the three southern counties on the boat who were about to disembark changed. Someone was about to say something, but Nie Xiaoyu turned his head and gave them an expressionless look. These people were so scared that they immediately fell silent, and no one dared to say anything.
Dong Kang, Lu Sanwa, and Lu Zhongding heard the words, and they were surprised and uncertain, but they heard what Wang Junlin said just now, and after Lu Erye talked with the prefect that night, he also told them three People called over for a brief talk, in which they mentioned that they had a very happy conversation with the prefect.
Seeing Dong Kang, Lu Sanwa, and Lu Zhongding looked hesitant and suspicious, Wang Junlin frowned and said, "It seems that Lu Youwei didn't explain some things to you. According to the agreement between me and him, the salt factory will be completely handed over in the future To this official, the condition is that this official will hand them over to you, Mrs. Lu, and take them away now! Don't wait for me to change my mind."
Dong Kang, Lu Sanwa, and Lu Zhongding suddenly looked stunned, thinking that no wonder the five master craftsmen in charge sent someone to ask for help from Mrs. Lu, and they were left to deal with what Mr. Lu sent. Giving up and letting the prefect kill him.
It is true, although these forty people are extremely domineering in the salt field, they are nothing more than servants in the Lu family. In the eyes of the suzerain, Lu Erye, and the prefect, they may exist like ants. Using their deaths to vent the anger of the prefect, and handing over the salt field to the prefect, in exchange for these noble children from the three southern counties who can prove that the pirates are related to the Lu family, this business is not bad for the Lu family.
The most important thing is that what Wang Junlin said just makes sense logically, and it also explains some inconsistent things in the salt field these days, for example, the prefect obviously accepted the heavy gift from the second master Lu, And why did they attack the master craftsmen, and Lu Shi's reaction to this matter.
Dong Kang, Lu Sanwa, and Lu Zhongding no longer doubted what Wang Junlin said. After Nie Xiaoyu disembarked with more than a hundred martial arts masters and perfume, he ordered two hundred Yan Ding to board the boat to **** the Nearly a hundred noble children from the three southern counties.
However, what they didn't notice was that the hundred guards around Wang Junlin and the more than one hundred martial arts masters who followed Nie Xiaoyu off the boat had already surrounded the remaining nearly three hundred Yan Ding on the shore, let alone paying attention. Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba, who came to Nie Xiaoyu's side, stayed on the boat and opened the entrance to the lowest cabin, while the two little guys each carried weapons and guarded the entrance.
