They still returned by boat, the specifications of the passenger ship were the same as the one they came in, Wen Heng lived in the inner room, Ye Qing lived in the outer room.

It was midnight when the boat passed through a dense forest.

In a trance, dozens of bright lights lit up in the forest, flickering and flickering, and it was this kind of night again, at first glance it was very scary.

As the light moved towards the shore, the mystery of that creepy thing was finally unveiled. Dozens of bright lights were dozens of torches, which were being held in the hands of a group of men dressed in green forests with knives.

The leader was a rough man, tall and tall, with a scar on the right cheek, which looked like an old wound, and it was even more strange in the erratic firelight.

Dozens of other men formed a semicircle around him.

He stepped on the bank of the river and yelled loudly towards the passenger boat: "Listen up, people inside, we only need temperature and balance, and don't kill people!"

All the passengers in the passenger ship were awakened by the sudden sound, and they all knew that they had encountered a thief. They panicked for a while, and the passengers in the Datong shop all huddled together and whispered to each other.

"Who is Wen Heng?"

"Which one is Wen Heng?"

"Damn it, stand up!"

……

These ordinary people only know that they live in peace and order in this world. Few people know that the name of the current Taifu is Wen Heng. It is even more unexpected that this high-ranking Taifu is sitting in the same boat with them. At the same time, It also comes with a general of the world's soldiers and horses.

All the boatmen on the ship ran to the deck and gathered around the boss of the boat. Together with the cook and helpers, no more than a dozen people were killed. How could they do anything better than those murderous and tall grandpas on the shore.

As for escaping, don't even think about it, since they can come out to rob passenger ships, it can be seen that they are all good players who are familiar with water skills. Once they escape, if they are caught again, their lives will definitely be lost.

The boss of the boat stomped his feet anxiously on the deck, feeling straight in his heart that it was bad luck. He had traveled this route no less than a hundred times.

At this time, a ten-year-old boy who looked at the rather clever boy reacted quickly and said, "Don't they want Wen Heng? Third uncle, let's hand over this man and it will be over. One person will replace the lives of the entire crew." , I think it's worth it!" The boat boss is the third eldest at home, and the younger boatmen call him third uncle.

This time, other boatmen also echoed.

"Yes, yes, they are here for this man. If it weren't for him, how could we have encountered this matter."

"Hand over people."

The boss of the ship looked at the fellows around him, and then at the passengers in the cabin who were poking their heads and shivering, heaved a long and decadent sigh, walked back to the room quickly, took out the registration roster, licked his index finger, page by page Turn over.

But after looking it up several times, I just couldn't see the word Wen Heng. I think it was because when I boarded the boat, I didn't register my real name. This kind of thing is normal. As long as I have enough money, it doesn't matter whether I register my real name or not. At that time, it became a reminder.

He spread his hands in frustration, "Without Wen Heng, there would be no such person!"

Seeing the crowds of people on the boat, and there was no reply for a long time, the leading man on the shore shouted loudly again: "I will give you a little time to burn incense, and if you don't hand over Wen Heng, don't blame me for being merciless!"

The murderous grandpas issued an ultimatum, but there was still no one named Wen Heng on board. The crew and passengers became more and more frightened, and the whole passenger ship fell into wailing.

Many people gritted their teeth in hatred for Wen Heng, yelling at him as a "harmful spirit", if they want to die themselves, why drag the whole boat with them and cry for their own fate, how did they come across this kind of situation? matter!

At this time, Wen Heng and Ye Qing in the wing room were naturally not safe, and they were stopped by people by name on the way back to Beijing, it was conceivable that it was because of the salt payment account.

Wen Heng knew a little about water, so if he wanted to escape, he would secretly jump into the river from behind to escape, but those people kept saying that if he was not handed over, the entire boat would be killed. How could he escape at this time.

This time he went south to investigate the Yanzheng, his actions were very covert, and he patrolled Qiu Wei as a cover, which was very perfect.

Last night he temporarily sent Wen Ming out on errands, thinking that Wen Ming might not be able to come back on time, so he didn't see anyone when he set off, so he didn't feel surprised. As for Ye Rong, he didn't see anyone, it had nothing to do with him.

Thinking about it now, maybe something happened to Wen Ming?

No, Wen Ming is still trustworthy. Although this person is honest, his tone is very tight. Even if he dies, he will not reveal any secrets. So, is it Ye Rong?

Wen Heng couldn't help looking at Ye Qing, his eyes were full of suspicion. This person said that he would not interfere with his actions, so what's going on now.

Why was he so obsessed with ghosts at the beginning, he believed this man's rhetoric, and actually thought that this man cared about the piece of meat in his stomach, but it turned out that he was waiting here!

In the struggle for power and profit in the officialdom, the last thing to rely on is the word "trust".

Ye Qing didn't know what Wen Heng was thinking, but he really didn't miss this matter, the only thing he did was to let Ye Rong hold Wen Ming back, so as to make it easier for him to do things next.

Maybe there is one more thing to add, knowing that things have changed, but insisting on not doing anything, waiting for something to happen!

After all, what kindness can compare to the kindness of life-saving?

Seeing Ye Qing pretending to be dead and not speaking, Wen Heng sneered, took out the treasured account book that caused an uproar from his arms, and raised his hand to put it on the candle.

Ye Qing grabbed the other corner of the ledger in time, with an inexplicable expression: "What is this for?"

With all his strength, Wen Heng pulled the ledger out of Ye Qing's hand, put it on the fire again, and said calmly, "Isn't this exactly what you want to see?"

This time, Ye Qing directly took the account book into his hands: "Don't think that I don't know what your plan is, you think you have a good memory, and you plan to wait for this storm to pass, and then write down the account book?"

Wen Heng stared at the dancing candlelight, his eyes flickering.

Ye Qing said bitterly: "I'm telling you, don't even think about it, how much effort will it take to write all this stuff silently? Are you planning to die of heart failure and vomiting blood because of this account book? Then bring the blood of my old Ye family together Walk?"

Wen Heng raised his head slowly, and said with a sneer, "Ye Ziyan, don't you find it ridiculous to say this now?"

Ye Qing turned serious, and said: "I don't think so! This thing is here for the time being, keep your eyes open for me to see if I did this!" After finishing speaking, she strode out of the guest room , disappeared from Wen Heng's sight in a blink of an eye.

Wen Heng's heart was a little confused, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, but no matter what, he had only one choice right now.

When the passenger ship docked, the man named Wen Heng stood up after all. When he followed the group of people, his back was straightened, as if this trip was not a sheep's mouth, but a guest.

Men with torches in one hand and knives in the other led Wen Heng through the dense forest before the passenger ship set sail again. However, after this incident, the passengers were terrified, and nearly half of the passengers rushed off the ship. Walk back along the river bank.

In the middle of this group of extremely flustered people, there was a person who pretended to be flustered and took the opportunity to disembark, so it didn't attract so much attention.

Not long after following this group of people, Wen Heng figured out what was wrong.

These green forest-dressed men walk in a neat and orderly manner, and the laws and regulations are prohibited. Although they deliberately hide their identities, Wen Heng can still recognize them. They must have come from a military camp. The military camp on this border is not the anti-Japanese army under the command of Jiangnan General Wei Min. .

This Wei Min Jiangnan person grew up by the seaside and is familiar with water. During the chaos in northern Xinjiang, he followed Ye Qing and made military exploits. The anti-Japanese army fought against the Japanese pirates and kept the peace of one side, which is also a great contribution.

These Japanese pirates can only be regarded as stragglers, but they are not enough to compare with the Yidi rebellion in northern Xinjiang.

Even so, this Wei Min is an out-and-out henchman of General Zhenbei. It is said that Ye Qing saved his life on the battlefield, and he was loyal to Ye Qing. Perhaps it was because of this that Ye Qing put He was placed on the border of the south of the Yangtze River to lead the army.

Reminiscent of the salt money ledger, the embezzlement money in Wei Min's hands accounted for almost half of it, Wen Heng closed his eyes subconsciously, why didn't he know where the money was allocated.

However, each is his master, so what can he do, besides, greedy ink is greedy ink!

As the Secretary of the Household Department, Wen Heng naturally knew that although the imperial treasury was not empty, once the money was allocated to various places, it could barely balance the income and expenditure. If there is a little war, it will be difficult to make ends meet.

The matter of the military camp's corruption of ink and taxes is that they don't look at the account books. He is very clear about the food, weapons and equipment in the camp. However, money is needed everywhere, and the money allocated by the court is not enough, so the money can only be drawn from the tax, plus the cost of raising and lowering for the commission, it is another big sum.

But the imperial court had no choice. The treasury’s various expenditures were regulated. No matter how much income there was, only so little was allocated to the military camps. Such a vicious circle made the tax corruption more serious.

In the past, these things were tacit, and the two sides maintained this precarious balance, but now, at the critical moment of dealing with Ye Qing, the Jiangnan salt money is the best entry.

Now, Wen Heng has already believed in his heart that Ye Qing really kept his promise and did not intervene in this matter. If he intervenes, it will be Wei Min's turn to do it. Wei Min may not get Ye Qing's instructions for a long time, so he is anxious Come to this decision.

Thinking of Ye Qing's rare expression before leaving, Wen Heng became more and more confused, and because of this, he ignored the faint pain in his lower abdomen.

How should he break this round?

There are still two days away from the military camp. After walking for nearly an hour, the group camped temporarily in a mountain depression to rest.

Wen Heng sat by the bonfire, looked at the scar-faced man opposite, and asked him, "Aren't you afraid that your superiors will punish you for doing this?"

The man sneered: "I don't know any nonsense about not being superior, I only know how to obey orders."

"Follow the order? Whose order is to be obeyed?" Wen Heng followed his words, "You guys don't look like ordinary thieves."

The man's eyes flashed, and he secretly thought that this scholar has too many eyes, and he accidentally missed his feet, so he became a little angry from embarrassment: "When death is imminent, I still have to play tricks." After speaking, he left the campfire very vigilantly, and went to the side Hang out with the brethren.

Wen Heng shook his head helplessly, feeling quite funny in his heart, this person had already revealed his identity but didn't know it, and thought he was hiding it very well!

After tossing and tossing all night, everyone was also tired and took a nap on the spot, leaving only a few men walking around the edge to patrol.

The firewood was burned out, the bonfire was gradually extinguished, and a few strands of smoke curled up, fading away without a trace in a blink of an eye.

On the surface, Wen Heng seemed to be dozing off, but in fact he didn't feel sleepy at all. How could he be able to fall asleep at such a time.

Nothing unusual happened all night, and the men relaxed a little bit. Although the patrolling people walked around, their eyes were already half closed.

At this time, on the dark cliff beside him, someone fell slowly along the rope, and no one noticed for a while.
