Man in the Heavens: Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil

The same is true for Minjiang.

The section of the Minjiang River flowing through Fuzhou City was divided into two hundreds of years ago, and the river diverged southward, creating a new channel.

However, the Minjiang River is located in southern Fujian after all, and the abundance of water at its source is quite different from that of northern rivers, even if it is diverted.

Because the old channel only had less water, it did not completely cut off the flow. On the contrary, the name "Minjiang" was kept. As for the new river channel, it was called Wulong River.

Feng Qingyang was really free and easy, after finishing the break-up meal with Chen Chong, he tied up the rags and left with a bamboo basket on his back, not knowing what he was in a hurry for.

After watching Old Man Feng go north, Chen Chong didn't delay, put away the Ziwei soft sword, picked up the piano case and set off on the journey.

He probably still remembered that when he boarded the boat from the wharf of Shunfengtang, the river flowed to the northeast, so if he wanted to go to Yedian in Miao District, he had to go southwest.

Time was running out, Chen Chong didn't care about wasting his true energy, he used his lightness kung fu and ran all the way to the southwest.

Asking while walking, Rao was not delayed by other things, and when he arrived at Qingyukou Ferry, it was almost the end of the hour (nine o'clock in the morning).

The Qingyukou Ferry is very small. A few thick wooden pillars are erected on the riverside, and a few planks are laid on it to form a small pier.

When Chen Chong arrived at the pier, five common people were already waiting on the shore. These people were all dressed as peasants, with hatchets in their waists and a pole in their hands. They looked like woodcutters who had gone to the city to sell firewood.

Seeing that the pier was empty, and he didn't know whether it was because the boatman hadn't started work yet, or the ferry had gone to the other side of the river, Chen Chong felt a little anxious.

The life and death of Lin Zhennan and his wife are closely related to the income of chivalry, so he can be said to be very concerned.

If the system did not receive a reminder for a day, the two of them would not be completely safe for a day, and Chen Chong would not be able to relax for a day.

Letting out a long breath, he subconsciously glanced at the few people beside him. These woodcutters seemed to know each other well, they gathered together and chatted in dialect, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Seeing this situation, Chen Chong also calmed down, looked at the river and continued to wait for the boat.

Although there is almost no farm work now, judging from the fact that these people can get up early to sell firewood, most of them do not have the conditions to idle around.

Since they are not in a hurry, the ferry should be fine, and there is no need for them to be anxious.

After waiting for another cup of tea, there was still no movement on the river, Chen Chong finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He walked towards the people who were chatting and laughing, stopped three steps away from them, and asked: "Brothers, excuse me, when will this ferry come?"

The few people who were chatting stopped talking immediately, and looked at an older man at the same time.

The man came out more and more, looked at the wooden box behind Chen Chong curiously, and replied with a smile: "This little brother has invited, and there are at least three or five sampans in this herring mouth, but today is a bit unlucky. Miao Manzi on the mountain is marrying a wife, and those boats have all gone to see her off, so everyone is waiting here."

Miao people marrying wives?

Chen Chong was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then remembered this incident, which seemed to be a scene from the original plot——

The Miao people pretended to be married in order to transfer the gold and silver obtained from smuggling salt out of Fuzhou City, and Ren Yingying pretended to be a bride.

"Is there such a thing?"

Chen Chong pretended to sigh, and then asked: "Brother, how long has the ferry been gone? How long will it take to come back?"

The man shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "It's been more than half an hour since we walked, and the Wulong River is only three or four miles wide. Time to come back."

Chen Chong nodded subconsciously, and also felt that what this man said made sense, three or four miles was less than 2000 meters, and it would take less than an hour to row a boat back and forth.

Another skinny man suddenly complained: "It's really bad luck. When I came here, I met a soldier, and when I went back, I met Miao Manzi. If I knew it, I would have read the almanac..."

Hearing this, Chen Chong's heart moved, and he asked calmly, "Brother, what's the situation with the soldier?"

The thin man glanced at Chen Chong and saw that the leader did not stop him, so he explained: "When we came here in the morning, we met some soldiers in the woods and asked us to take them to Fuzhou City. Brother Hu was a little slower in agreeing. , and received a whip from them.

We took them to the river, and the soldiers forced us to take money, saying that there was no money to cross the river.We dare not refuse to give, we can only take out all the money..."

Chen Chong frowned and said, "These soldiers robbed you because they had no money to cross the river. Could it be that they are sick?"

The leading man snorted coldly and said with a sneer, "It's just an excuse they made. How could they spend money on the boat? Not only did they not give money after the boat ride, but they also said they had no money to eat, so they robbed the boatman too."

Another person joined the discussion, angrily said: "Selling firewood can only earn some hard money, but now I owe the boatman two trips, this trip is a loss!"

Hearing these words, Chen Chong finally understood what it means to "bandits pass like a comb, and soldiers pass like a grate".

Black, is he really black!

He cursed secretly, and was about to ask more about the Miao people marrying wives, when suddenly one of them pointed to the river and shouted: "I'm back, I'm back!"

Hearing this, he looked quickly, and saw two small sampans slowly showing their figures on the mist-filled river, and within a dozen or so breaths, they had already approached.

The boatman is a dry, stooped old man, from the appearance alone, at least six to seventy years old.

He threw out the cable, and several people on the shore rushed to catch it, and tied the rope to the wooden stakes on the pier. The three passengers on the boat paid to go ashore, and Chen Chong followed several woodcutters onto the boat.

Chapter 242 082. Banner Mountain Killing

That Dongchang Fanzi was thrown into the water by Chen Chong, with a loud splash, it also woke up the sluggish boatman.

The old man looked at the place where the officers and soldiers fell into the water with a look of horror on his face, swallowed a bit of saliva with difficulty, knelt down at the murderer with a plop, lowered his head and shouted: "Master, please forgive me!"

Chen Chong was extremely depressed. How come I don't believe me when I look so gentle?

I had to explain patiently: "Old man, get up quickly, I'm not a water bandit, nor a robber, and I don't engage in murder and robbery."

Witnessing a massacre just now, the old man would not believe Chen Chong's words, he just apologized and said with a smile: "I know, the uncle is a hero who does justice for the heavens, robs the rich and helps the poor, the little old man didn't see anything about what happened today, I just hope that the hero can help the poor." Raise your hands high!"

Chen Chong said helplessly: "Forget it, I don't care whether you believe it or not, hurry up and sail, I don't have time to waste here, I still have to go to Qishan to do business."

Seeing that he really didn't want to make a move, the boatman secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran to the stern to row the oar, as if he was afraid that Chen Chong would regret it.

The woodcutters reacted a little too late, and only then woke up when they heard the boatman's yelling.

They didn't know much, they just fell to the ground at the same time, trembling and afraid to speak.

The guy in the lead was still a bit courageous, although he was still afraid of Chen Chong, he was much stronger than his companions.

He took off his shoes, pulled out the hidden copper plates from the soles of the shoes, then held the copper coins and raised his hands above his head, walked forward on his knees and said: "My good man, we are all miserable, we don't have much money on us, and there is another at home." We will give you all the money if the old and the young need to be supported, and I just ask the hero to let us go, so that the orphans and widows in the family will not be lost."

Fuck, can't tell?

"It's just a few money, you keep it yourself, cross the river!"

He rolled his eyes angrily, and Chen Chong didn't bother to continue explaining. He waved his hand to signal several people to get up, sat down back to the old place, and fell asleep holding the piano case.

The man made fun of himself, and withdrew his hand with a sarcastic smile.Putting the copper plate into his arms, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I said in my heart that this uncle is a bit fierce, but he is better than those Qiu Ba, at least he is not greedy for my hard-earned money.

After getting the order, the boatman swung the boat like a windmill, as if he had taken a powerful pill, as if he was afraid of staying with the devil for another quarter of an hour.
