I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

"Three of you, it's getting late. Why don't you take a rest first?" The captain of the police, who was left behind by the county magistrate to help the three men, asked cautiously.

Xie Yunxiao glanced at Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin who were communicating and nodded.

Captain Yu led the three to a small courtyard behind the county government office and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, there are too many injured people living in the county government office, so this small courtyard is all that's left.

However, the back door is a few dozen steps to the left of this yard, and turning out of the back door is the most prosperous street in Binshui County, where everything is sold, which is very convenient. "

The three of them didn't care about the living conditions. Xie Yunxiao walked into the yard. Although it was small, it was very clean. It had the same layout and three rooms.

"It's okay, I'm fine. Captain Yu, you should go back first. If there's anything, we can talk tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I won't bother you three anymore."

After Captain Yu left, Xie Yunxiao said to the two, "Shall we go to the street to take a look? The county magistrate just said to prepare dinner, but you two refused. You must want to go to the street to take a look."

Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin nodded, and the three of them left the yard and followed the route indicated by Captain Yu, and soon reached the street.

It was very lively, with shops and stalls all over the street and shouts everywhere.

"This place is really prosperous. This street is even more lively than the main street in the capital." Jiang Yuan sighed.

Also, there is a seafood stall here that Jiang Yuan thought he would never see again in his life.

There is no seafood here, but the river shrimps and crabs look plump and delicious.

He pulled Xie Yunxiao's sleeve excitedly, pointed at the bustling seafood stall and stomped his feet.

Xie Yunxiao smiled lovingly at Jiang Yuan and waved his hand, "Let's go, eat this."

The crabs here are not just steamed, they are also stir-fried with chili peppers, onions, ginger and garlic. The same goes for the shrimps, too. There are fried small shrimps, boiled prawns, and prawns fried with chili peppers and oil.

The three of them ordered a plate of fried small river shrimps, a plate of stir-fried large shrimps, three steamed crabs, two plates of stir-fried spicy crabs, and a small jar of Huadiao wine.

The three of them were here on business, so they weren't supposed to drink alcohol. But how could they have seafood without wine? Xie Yunxiao's alcohol tolerance was average.

But Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin both had huge drinking capacity, so Xie Yunxiao only got a small cup from a small jar of Huadiao.

Next to the food stall is a wonton shop and a pancake shop.

Xie Yunxiao was sent to buy a few pancakes. Jiang Yuan split the pancake in the middle, sandwiched the fried crispy river shrimps in the middle of the pancake, rolled it up, and took a bite. Hmm, delicious.

"What do you two think?" Xie Yunxiao asked while picking crabs.

Jiang Yuan swallowed the pancake and river shrimp in his mouth and replied, "It seems that the bandits are hiding on both sides of the river, but this section is too long, and a direct search may not work.

I think it's safer to stay on the boat and wait for the opportunity."

Qu Jin held a crab leg in his mouth and asked, "Then which boat is the ambush? There are several boats passing through this river every day, big and small.

If our people are dispersed to various ships, our strength will be weakened, which is not advisable."

Jiang Yuan also nodded, agreeing with Qu Jin's words, "We have to choose one, the most likely one.

Those pirates don’t rob every ship; they are selective.”

Xie Yunxiao put the wrapped shrimp into Jiang Yuan's bowl, "Yes, you don't have to choose the biggest one, you have to choose the most valuable one."

Qu Jin held the crab leg in his mouth, thinking, "Hiss, the goods transported by official ships are valuable, there is no doubt about that, but how do they know whether the goods transported by private ships are valuable?

unless..."

"Unless, when the ship was docked at the last transfer port, someone found out what was on the ship and tipped off the pirates."

Qu Jin slammed the table, "That's right."

"It seems that we not only have to suppress the bandits, but also investigate the thieves within the clan." Jiang Yuan turned to Xie Yunxiao with a smile.

Xie Yunxiao's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly. "No way, you're going to give me the job of investigating the thief again?"

The two sisters chuckled. They preferred to do it directly. They didn't like the brain-consuming task of investigating thieves.

When we arrived at the dock the next day, the county magistrate was also waiting there. The dock would get information about ships arriving in the next two or three days.

From more than twenty pieces of information, Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin chose a boat at the same time.

"It's the ship of Jize Trading Company. The president of Jize Chamber of Commerce is Zhang Hao, who is in his fifties. This information sheet says that this time the ship of Jize Trading Company is captained by President Zhang's son, Zhang Zetao, and is carrying cloth, silk, tea and a small amount of silver." The county magistrate held the registration sheet.

After reading the above content, his face changed a little, "There are valuable things on this ship."

"They have left the last dock a long time ago and are expected to arrive at Binshui County in two days. You want to board the ship, so how do you get on board?" asked the county magistrate.

Qu Jin lowered his head and continued to flip through the registration form in his hand. "We will board the ship the same way the pirates boarded the ship. We don't need too many people. Seven or eight people will be enough to help."

Xie Yunxiao objected, "No, seven or eight people are too few. These pirates are obviously well-trained and difficult to deal with."

"We can't have too many people on board all of a sudden. The carrying capacity of a boat is limited. Also, we don't know where the pirates are hiding.

If you board the ship in a small boat with great fanfare, you will easily be discovered by pirates.

Also, even if the pirates have received professional training and have a good understanding of each other, their numbers are limited after all. They board the ship at night, and the first group of people is at most 20 to 30 people, which can be dealt with.

There were companions lying in ambush behind them, but if they were discovered by the people on the big ship and took precautions in advance, it would be difficult for them to board the ship.

So, these people are enough.

As for you, there are bandits in Binshui County, and we need to go to the last dock to investigate the thieves, so we need more people."

After the discussion, the county magistrate wrote a letter of certification. Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin took eight of the best swimmers and rode on horseback for a day to ask around to see if any ship of the Yoshizawa Chamber of Commerce had been seen.

People on both sides of the river said they did not see anything.

As soon as it got dark, ten people boarded the boat.

As the large ship with lights on approached in the dark night, Qu Jin whispered, "No wonder, in this extremely dark place, the lights are a bit too obvious."

Two small boats with ten people followed the side of the big ship, and you could see the defenses on the ship by looking up.

They chose a deserted place, and a soldier swung the eagle claw. Jiang Yuan pulled it with his hand, and with the help of the force of the rope, he easily and quickly climbed onto the big ship.

Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin walked behind a guard and patted him on the shoulder. "Hey, hand over your vice president."
