What about the straight guy?

Zhang Liang took the lead to break the silent deadlock, "Brother Wen, don't worry, Lianzhou is not in danger for the time being. In fact, I have something to tell you."

"Tell me." Wen Chengyue decided that if he heard anything dissatisfied, he would directly throw this person overboard.

"Little brother, I am originally from Jizhou. My parents left early. Three years ago, I took my only brother to Xuzhou to ask for a living. I paid my wages that day. I was going to take my brother to have a good meal. Who knows, I just bought skewers for him. The kung fu of candied haws is lost in a blink of an eye..."

Speaking of the past, Zhang Liang looked concerned, but Wen Chengyue didn't buy it, "Say something irrelevant, be careful, I'm not polite."

Zhang Liang smiled self-deprecatingly, "Later, after many investigations, I found out that there was a group of gangsters in Xuzhou who were specialized in abducting children. When I killed them, my brother had already changed hands. It was said that someone was specially taking in teenage boys."

As he said that, he looked up at Wen Chengyue, "I have been investigating for several months, and finally found some clues. I suspect that my brother's disappearance is related to the merchant ship of the Xujiang Chamber of Commerce going to Nanyang."

"So you just sneaked in to investigate the situation?" Wen Chengyue followed these words and combined with Le Lianzhou's previous guess, he probably knew what this ship was for.But, what does this have to do with Jinliu and King Ping?Or why did King Ping, who is rich and powerful, start this kind of business?

"Two years and ten months." Zhang Liang breathed heavily, "Chen Shuang and the others are very careful in their work. The boatmen who directly touch the 'cargo' are their confidantes, and the sailors and helmsmen on the outside can't touch the inside at all. But I will With some effort, I have been lurking for more than two years, and it is not nothing."

"At least I'm sure that this ship regularly transports Jinyu youths out to sea in the two states of Xujiang, and sometimes picks up people in Minyue and Yue states in the middle, and finally 'unloads' in Wa State, where and what they are sent to, I have no way of knowing. I have roughly calculated that in the past two years or so, thousands or even tens of thousands of people have been shipped out."

"However, the higher-ups seem to be anxious recently. In the past, they would actually ship out a lot of normal goods in exchange for money and goods from overseas, but this time I found that there were almost no real goods on board. I don't know how they plan to cover it up."

"Have you ever gone down to the cabin?" Wen Chengyue interrupted suddenly.

"No, just to observe," Zhang Liang said while observing, but pointed to his ear, "Lianzhou told you that when loading and unloading, everyone except their confidantes should avoid. This trip, except on Jiangzhou Some of the real stuff, the rest of the sound is wrong."

"Hmph, you shouted at Lianzhou affectionately, but watched him being imprisoned as cargo?"

Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Liang seemed to have realized something a long time ago. He stood up solemnly, knelt down on his knees with a plop, his eyes were sincere, and he clasped his fists and said, "I admit it! At the moment of breaking through this morning, I thought of using the continuous Zhou won Chen Shuang's trust, so... that's why he pushed the boat along and handed in the vote to Chen Shuang. But I swear! The younger brother felt kind to Lian Zhou when he saw Lian Zhou for the first time on the boat, and he always regarded him as his own brother. This time I also plan to rescue him as soon as I get a chance!"

"Oh? Then you have a plan now?" Wen Chengyue certainly wouldn't believe that Zhang Liang really wanted to save Le Lianzhou. Such a person could stab you in the back at any time. What is dirty.

"Yes, if Brother Wen doesn't show up, I will wait for the right opportunity to find out where these people are, find my brother, and bring him out with Lian Zhou, but it may take some time, after all, if you act rashly, My three years of painstakingly lurking were all in vain. Now that Brother Wen is here, you and I can definitely rescue Lian Zhou first!"

"Do you know how many guards there are below? You don't naively think that you can come and go freely with the strength of two people, right?" Wen Chengyue snorted lightly, without leaving his eyes for a moment.

"Thanks to Lian Zhou, I just found out today that there is a secret passage leading directly to the bottom of the ship from the cockpit. We don't have to confront the hundreds of boatmen below. We just need to enter the secret passage quietly and subdue the guards on the bottom two floors. .”

What Zhang Liang said was pure nonsense. Before following Chen Shuang, he only walked to the exit of the secret passage and saw four people guarding the door. He was not sure how many guards there were on the bottom two floors.

"When are you going to do it?" Wen Chengyue's expression was a little loose, as if he believed his words.

"We will arrive in Yue State in two days. Just like when we were in Min State, we docked at night and anchored at dawn. This time, there will be new 'cargo' on board. The security before and after docking and leaving the shore is relatively strict. I plan to leave Yue. After the country, take advantage of the lax guards..."

"No." Wen Chengyue interrupted again, "Before or after docking in the country of Yue, we will disembark immediately after we bring people out." After leaving the country of Yue, even if you take Le Lianzhou out, you have to jump Hai, otherwise there would be nowhere to go, there were too many variables, and there was no guarantee that Zhang Liang would throw it away after using it.

Zhang Liang pursed his lips tightly and then loosened them. After a long while, he finally nodded, "Well, the night after tomorrow. Let me think about how to arrange it first."

"Waiting for your news." Wen Chengyue leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and looked at the person still kneeling on the ground.

Zhang Liangcai stood up in embarrassment, turned around before leaving the door and said, "I will deliver meals to Brother Wen for the next two days, please don't act rashly during the day."

Wen Chengyue sneered, "Thank you in advance, but Wen has traveled all over the world for many years, and he can still tell whether there is any addition to the food, so there is no need to worry about it."

"Brother Wen was joking." Zhang Liang maintained the perfect expression on his face, turned and opened the door to leave.

The moment the door closed, the faces of the two inside and outside the house changed at the same time.

Finally, Zhang Liang's mask couldn't hold back, showing a sinister look, he wished he could strangle Wen Chengyue to death immediately, but unfortunately he still had to pretend to flatter him, there were still two days left, how could he get rid of him without anyone noticing it?He didn't really intend to lead people into the secret passage.

As for Le Lianzhou, if he finds his younger brother in the future, he can take him away with him if it's convenient.

And Wen Chengyue's face was completely gloomy, this kid said so much, true and false, false and true, he couldn't believe a word of it.

However, after careful analysis and careful thinking, two points can be confirmed. This merchant ship is a human trafficker, and there must be a secret passage leading directly to the bottom. Otherwise, how could Chen Shuang avoid so many people on the deck in broad daylight? Unrelated people sent Le Lianzhou to the bottom.He didn't think that Zhang Liang would really help, and he was afraid that he would reveal his true colors before landing.

……

Dawn came too fast, and after the night was squeezed away, a white dove flew along with the clouds and quietly landed on the big boat that broke through the waves.

Jin Liu reached out and grabbed the white pigeon, stroked its smooth neck, and took a small roll of yellow paper from the red bird's claws. After letting go of his hand, the white pigeon sat obediently on the window sill.After reading the information on the paper, the man frowned slightly, took a moment to take out the pen and paper and wrote "Plan ahead, hurry up." One line, cut off the paper, rolled it into thin strips and tied it back to the pigeon's leg.

Touching the backs of two pigeons rhythmically, the white pigeon got the signal, jumped twice, flapped its wings and flew away.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Jin Liu knew that it was Chen Shuang who came to make a routine report.

Sure enough, the mustache Chen Shuang opened the door and came in, but before he could speak, Jin Liu handed over the yellow paper in his hand, "Notify the steering room to turn around and go directly south, instead of docking in Yue Country."

Chen Shuang hated Jin Liu's domineering appearance the most, and he would come over every day as if asking for peace.

After taking the yellow paper and looking at it, I was startled. The idea of ​​Yue Guo was picked, and the "goods" were gone. Well, I really can't go again this time. It made up for it by speeding up.

"Young man, I'll give you an order." Chen Shuang bowed and put the yellow paper back on the table, and Chen Shuang walked out the door obediently.

The sailors who had just finished working in the heat of the morning were like donkeys, and they were pumped again. The helmsman was busy adjusting the rudder angle, and the dozing people in the command room began to re-observe the hydrology department. The sailors on the deck were the hardest. , Climb up and down to adjust the angle, just because the steward ordered, go south at full speed!

So everyone on the deck knew that the Yue Kingdom was a thing of the past, and of course Zhang Liang was the happiest, who could have more time to think about how to solve Wen Chengyue's big trouble.

Taking advantage of the meal delivery time, Zhang Liang told Wen Chengyue the news of the route change, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't respond much, but only lightly agreed to postpone the action and urged him to check the needed news quickly.

For Wen Chengyue, he did not expect Zhang Liang to help anyway, and the original plan to land in the Yue Kingdom was too short, and he was not sure that he would be able to take the person away smoothly. This is fine now, everyone will make a fool of himself, and he secretly plans to save people. .

And the hardest thing was Le Lianzhou who spent the night at the bottom of the boat. This time, the living conditions were directly downgraded from "first class" to "cargo cabin".

Hands and feet were tied and I slept directly on the floor, not to mention, I had to wait a day and a night for "eat and drink", but luckily there was no stock for "pull", but I did "sprinkle" once, there is a "toilet" in the corner, and one person needs to pee A group of people moved along with the zombies, otherwise they would only contribute to the already damp and smelly environment.

The oil lamp hanging in the corner swayed from side to side with the ups and downs of the boat. Le Lianzhou, who originally wanted to have a "slave battle", was hungry, thirsty, tired and dizzy. The state of mind of the people at the bottom who mourn their indisputable inability to resist hegemony and oppression is not because they don't want to, but because they have no strength! ! !

The people at the bottom had been staring affectionately at the wooden ladder for a day, and finally there was a sound from the wooden ladder.Fu Tan, who was next to Le Lianzhou, suddenly regained his energy, poked him vigorously, and whispered, "Here we come! There will be cake and water this time!"

Le Lianzhou propped himself up and waited with everyone.Sure enough, the wooden board was uncovered, and the light came down. A tall guard climbed down first. Due to the constraints, he had to bow his waist and pouted his buttocks. sound.

The author has something to say: Lian Zhou: Raise your hand, I want to pee!

Friends collective zombie eyes: are you sure?

Lian Zhou: Me, I'll bear with it... (I'd better gather a dozen or so friends before mentioning it, hey.)
