Butler Xu said confidently.
"So, I'm relieved."
The leading burly man breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed manner.
"Wait, I want to ask, is it really just cotton that you are shipping?"
Suddenly, Bai Ziyue frowned slightly and asked.
Hearing this, the hearts of the big guys tensed up, they looked at each other, and then at Steward Xu.
"Haha, of course it's cotton, but it's just mixed with some private salt.
Young Xia Bai, I think you must be aware that if it is really just cotton, there is no need for the master to ask you to help escort it.
Although this private salt is controlled by the government, the profit is also high.
It was also this time that I was really in a hurry, so the master thought of you, knowing that you have a lot of face, and the disciples patrolling on the river dare not check your things..."
Butler Xu's face remained unchanged, and he explained softly.
"I hope it's not something officially prohibited, otherwise you and I will be in bad luck."
Bai Ziyue nodded, as if he accepted the other party's argument. After all, he also knew that the reason why Hou Linkun invited him must be something he wanted to escort, and it was some officially controlled items.
Illegal salt is one of the officially controlled substances.
There may be some other things mixed in, but as long as it is not something that is officially prohibited, he doesn't care too much.
"Of course, we wouldn't dare to touch such things even if we were given the courage. If we catch them, we will definitely die."
Steward Xu said quickly.
"Let's go then."
As he said that, Bai Ziyue leaped lightly, and he had crossed a distance of four or five meters and jumped onto the boat.
The crew members exchanged glances, greeted Steward Xu, and quickly started paddling the oars.
In an instant, the boat passed quickly across the river like a sharp sword.
Half an hour later, the boat appeared on the river.From a distance, you can also see the bustling scene of people coming and going on the Qinghe Wharf.
On the river, from time to time, there are more large and small boats passing through it.
"Bai Shaoxia, besides the water bandits, it is the members of the water affairs hall of your Lieyang gang who are the most difficult to deal with on this Qinghe town.
Once we meet, we will have to be hacked and handed over a lot of silver to pass.
Although it is better than encountering water bandits, we already earn hard money, and after being exploited, we can earn even less.
Now that Shaoxia Bai has come forward, we can finally gain something more. "
On the boat, the leader said with a look of emotion.
"What about the government? I remember that the government also has official ships, which will patrol the river.
When I meet them, my face is not enough, what should I do, or what will happen. "
Bai Ziyue said calmly.
This trip, he also has to bear a risk.
Once hit by someone from the government, his life will not be easy.
As for the other party's complaint, Bai Ziyue didn't take it too seriously.
The other party can rely on shipping to eat, is it the kind person the other party said.
Bai Ziyue worked as a servant in the Pearl Restaurant for a period of time, and he heard a lot of people talking about it. There are many water bandits on the river, and some merchant ships have disappeared and been robbed. Is it really all the work of those well-known water bandits?
Not necessarily.
It is not uncommon for merchant ships to fight against each other and intercept and kill each other.
It can be said that those who walk on the river all the year round are not bandits, they are bandits, and none of them is innocent.
The boatman who claimed to be Chang's Second, and several of his subordinates, claimed to be honest, but Bai Ziyue could tell a thing or two only from the scars on their bodies of varying shades.
"Government? Officials usually only patrol around in the morning, but now it is already afternoon, and there is absolutely no patrol boat belonging to the government on the entire river."
Chang Laoer said confidently.
Nodding silently, Bai Ziyue stopped talking.
Along the way, they did not see an official ship walking on the river.
From time to time, Lie Yang would help the disciples of the Water Affairs Hall to conduct inspections on the river.
Because Bai Ziyue and the others were in a small boat, even if the disciples of the Internal Affairs Hall found out, they didn't pay much attention to it.
Another half an hour passed, and the group of them finally entered a place full of reeds with a small boat, enough to hide three or five small and medium-sized merchant ships without being discovered.
Under the control of those punters, the boat was scurrying among the reeds, flexible and changeable, and it took a long time for Bai Ziyue to feel that his eyes suddenly opened up.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a medium-sized merchant ship that could carry dozens of tons of heavy goods, docked on the shore.
The moment Bai Ziyue and the others appeared, voices of greeting came over.
"Old Chang, you're back."
"Second Chang, how are you? Can you pass?"
……
"Don't worry, this time, I invited a great god, who will definitely allow us to pass the inspection smoothly and deliver the goods."
Chang Laoer responded quickly, beckoning his men to push the boat to the side of the merchant ship.
Since someone dropped the rope, several people on the boat climbed up nimbly.
Resisting the pulling action of others, Bai Ziyue jumped up on the bow of the ship, and lightly on the merchant ship, he jumped onto the big ship.
I took a look at the merchant ship, and there were a total of No. 30 people on board. The faces of these people were all dark after being exposed to the sun. It's just that it's no surprise that they have more or less old and new scars on their bodies, making them look extremely capable.
At this time, most of them were also looking at Bai Ziyue calmly, with suspicion, hope, and even a hint of indifference in their eyes.
Bai Ziyue was also sizing up these people, but with just one glance, his heart was full.
