Great Song Pirate

Chapter 163 Lucky Gambling Stalls
The fleet sailed smoothly, and soon arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Passing Chongming Island, they entered the waterway of the Yangtze River. Along the way, Xu Yi told Lord Luo some interesting stories about sailing at sea, and even told him There are a lot of anecdotes about the Nanyang feudal kingdom. I heard this Master Luo is very interested. In addition to the fact that Xu Yi gave him a lot of gifts, the relationship between the two is quite good. They talked and laughed along the way. My lord never doubted Xu Yi's identity at all, and treated him as a businessman.

As soon as their fleet entered the mouth of the Yangtze River, they encountered a group of navy ships inspecting the passing ships. They didn't know what happened here, but they saw that Xu Yi and his fleet were accompanied by an official ship. They didn't dare to make mistakes, and immediately gave way to the channel to let their fleet go.

"Why are there so many navy ships here?" Master Luo asked with a frown.

Xu Yi also felt strange, so he shook his head and said he didn't know, but he thought in his heart, could it be that the Jiang bandits were killed here last time, and the corpses were discovered by the government, so they investigated here?Probably not!It has been half a month since the incident, and the corpses of these river bandits may have been washed into the sea by the current to feed the fish. Why are passing ships still inspected because of this matter?
After the ship arrived in Yangzhou, Lord Luo thanked Xu Yi, and took the gift Xu Yi gave him and his subordinates to the Yamen to take up his post. When he was parting, he specially told Xu Yi that if there was something to do in Yangzhou, he could go to the government to find him. , he will definitely help Xu Yi, Xu Yi nodded his thanks, prepared more than a dozen copies of the special products of Dulong Island on the boat, and gave a copy to Mr. Luo's staff, which made these people very happy and thanked them repeatedly , and privately said to Xu Yi that there is no need to go to Mr. Luo for some trivial matters, as long as you find them. The energy of the officials' subordinates should not be underestimated.

The news of Xu Yi's return to Yangzhou was soon known to Li Mutian, so Li Mutian rushed to the pier. Seeing that Xu Yi sent so much soap and glycerin to the Li family again this time, he was happy from ear to ear, and kept talking. Thanks to Xu Yi, as for those goods such as whale skin and whale meat, he is not worried about selling them, and it can even be said that they are rare goods to live in, so naturally he accepts them as they are ordered. After finding someone to unload the goods from Xu Yi's boat, he pulled them away. Xu Yi and the others went straight to the restaurant, wanting to wash Xu Yi off.

"What? A gang of Jiang bandits actually attacked ships flying the flag of Li? What's going on?" Xu Yi asked in surprise when he heard what Li Mutian was talking about worryingly at the wine table.

"Exactly! During this period of time, three cargo ships of our Li family were robbed by Jiang bandits in the Yangtze River Estuary. The cargo on board was robbed, and even the boatmen on board were killed. Before leaving, they even set fire to the boat. It can be said that our Li family lost quite a lot this time, and there were several other ships with the Li flag that were also robbed and killed. It seems that these Jiang bandits are looking for bad luck for our surname! The matter has now attracted the attention of the government, and they have started to investigate the whereabouts of these Jiang bandits in the Chongming area, and it has been much better for the time being, and nothing has happened!" Li Mutian sighed while drinking.

Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the naval ships he met when he came here were investigating this matter!But he felt that the matter might not be so simple. This matter should have something to do with the gangsters he killed when he went back to Dulong Island a while ago, but he remembered that the more than 20 gangsters who robbed the ship seemed to be all killed by them. Yes!Is it possible that there are fish that slipped through the net?If this is the case, then the Li family may be in great trouble when sailing on the Yangtze River. These Jiang bandits are so vengeful. It seems that this matter needs to be resolved. How can this matter be caused by him, and the Li family cannot be left in vain Damaged isn't it?Thinking of this, Xu Yi said: "When I went back to Dulong Island this time, I was on your Li family's boat, and I happened to encounter more than 20 river bandits trying to rob the boat. I guess the people on that boat would tell me when they came back. You, but back then I had already killed all the Jiang bandits who robbed the ship! Could it be that there are still Jiang bandits who slipped through the net? If this is the case, I will implicate your Li family. It seems that I have to find a way to deal with this matter It's to help you settle it!"

Li Mutian shook his head: "Brother Xu is being polite when he says that. You have no choice but to kill those Jiang bandits. Besides, I have heard that you have already killed all the Jiang bandits. I can't blame you for this matter. It may be Others surnamed Li offended these gangsters, so we might be implicated. Brother Xu must not blame himself. I hope the government can catch these vile gangsters this time, so that there is no need to trouble Brother Xu again. !"

Xu Yi nodded to record this matter, and they changed the topic to other matters.

"After Brother Xu left, do you know what happened to that Wu Quanshui?" Li Mutian suddenly mentioned Wu Quanshui again.

Xu Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "You really think of me as a god, I'm not here, how can I know about Wu Quanshui!"

Li Mutian laughed and said: "This Wu Quanshui is really a dog who can't change his shit. After taking the money you gave him for a few days, his old illness relapsed, and he couldn't help but went to the gambling stalls to gamble again. The result was not much. Tian Bian lost all the money you gave me, and even the concubine gave it to the gambling stall. Later, under the sign that it was already your boat yard, he borrowed the money from the gambling stall and continued to gamble. Of course, he still gave it back. After leaving the gambling stall, this guy saw that the situation was not good and ran away overnight. Later, after the gambling stall couldn’t find him, he went to your shipyard to make trouble, only to find out that this guy had already bought the boatyard. , Shouting for being cheated, but still trying to find some cheap money from your shipyard, but yesterday I had a fight with Gray you stayed here, this Gray was so ruthless that he actually interrupted the guy who led the trouble. The leg was carried back by his men, I am afraid that after you come back today, you will have to solve this matter!"

Xu Yi found it both angry and funny, this Wu Quanshui owed money to the gambler, what is the matter with his shipyard? Want to pay back the money for Wu Quanshui?If you beat him well, if you only break one of his legs, it will be cheap for him. If you still dare to come over and make trouble, break his other leg, and if you can't, break the middle one too, hehe!

"I don't bother to care about his gambling or not! Anyway, I don't owe them any money, so why should I pay Wu Quanshui! Leave him alone, let's have dinner, and I will have more money later." Go to the shipyard to see how things are being cleaned up!" Xu Yi shook his head and said.

"Don't take it seriously. I heard that this gamble is very backstage. Your man broke his man's leg. I guess they won't let it go so easily. You'd better be careful. You can open the gamble. There are not many good people!" Li Mutian reminded him.

Xu Yi thought about it, so he decided to wait and see how to solve the matter. While eating, suddenly a person ran outside, found Xu Yi in a hurry, and shouted when he entered the door: "The shopkeeper , It’s not good! Gray was arrested by the government, so you can see what to do!”

Xu Yi saw that this person was actually one of the men who stayed at the shipyard, and when he heard that Gray was arrested, he stood up abruptly and shouted: "What's going on? Slow down, why did the government arrest Gray?"

This subordinate looked at Li Mutian, bowed his head and said, "The gamblers came to the shipyard to make trouble yesterday, saying that we should pay back the money Wu Quanshui owed them, or close our shipyard. We started fighting with them, but there were too many of us, and we broke a leg of the guy who took the lead. A few servants came from the government just now, and they locked Gray up without saying a word. We dare not talk to the government easily. When I heard that you were back, I hurried over to report to you!"

When Xu Yi heard this, he was furious, and said angrily: "Is there any law? They made trouble for no reason, and the government actually came to arrest our people, okay! I'll go meet that gambling stall and see why they are so rampant! After saying that, he turned around and took Li Bo with him and left.

Li Mutian hurried over and said: "Brother Xu, wait a minute. I think it's better to take a long-term view on this matter. Since the government has arrested Brother Ge, there must be someone in the government. We should find the people in the government first, and don't let Brother Ge suffer. Besides, it's getting late now, I'll take care of this matter first, I still have some friends here who can help, you should take a rest first, it won't be too late to talk about it until tomorrow!"

Xu Yi looked at the sky, it was indeed late, he was not familiar with here, it was useless to worry, he couldn't take his brothers to the prison and snatch Gray out!After all, there is still his boat yard here!So he just nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the banquet was too much to eat, Li Mutian left in a hurry after reconciling the accounts. Xu Yi asked Diao Bin to restrain the brothers who came with the boat at the pier, so that nothing would happen to them, and then took Li Bo Cuiyu back to the boat field.

As soon as he entered the shipyard, Gong Zhen hurriedly greeted him after hearing the news. Gong Zhen has now lived in the shipyard, so it can be said that he takes the shipyard as his home. After seeing Xu Yi, he hurriedly greeted him: " Gong Zhen has met the shopkeeper! It's because of Gong Zhen's incompetence that he didn't stop Brother Ge and let him do such a big thing, please punish the shopkeeper!"

Xu Yi waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you for this matter. I know Gray's temper. If this matter happened to me, it would also break that person's leg. Let's go inside and talk about it!"

After listening to Gong Zhen's words, Xu Yi rubbed his chin and said to himself: "Fuyun Casino? Isn't it just a local snake? Then I, Xu, will play with you! Look at your fortune How long will the luck last! Will it continue to drive in the future! Hmph!"
