The attendant immediately stood up from the wooden board and ran away.
Zhang He stepped forward, pointed at the fat young man and asked Tang Jian:
"Sir, if this kid's life is worthless and the Qiao family doesn't exchange it for goods, what should we do?"
Tang Jian thought about it and said to Zhang He: "What you said makes sense."
"Well, you take two brothers and secretly follow the attendant to the Qiao family."
"Then investigate who is more important in the Qiao family."
"If this fat man can't exchange for goods, then we will find a way to catch a more important one."
"Then I'm not afraid that the Qiao family won't give me the goods!"
After listening, Zhang He nodded and said, "I got it."
Then he picked two good men and followed the fat young man's attendant.
After Zhang He left, Tang Jian called the brothers of the guards to move the fat young man to the boat.
Then he sailed the sailboat away from the dock to avoid being attacked.
Soon, the fat young man woke up from his coma.
Seeing himself tied up and thrown in the cabin.
He immediately started to curse.
"You guys are really ignorant of life and death. How dare you catch me? Do you know who I am?"
Tang Jian was drinking tea, and he threw a cup of tea at him after hearing it.
"Why are you so arrogant?"
"Of course I know who you are. Your name is Qiao Fa, and you are the second son of Qiao Xing, the second master of the Qiao family. Am I right?"
Qiao Fa was splashed with tea, and immediately glared at Tang Jian and said:
"Thief, since you know my identity, why don't you let me go?"
"Otherwise, the Qiao family will mobilize people and cut you into pieces!"
Tang Jian smiled after hearing it and said, "Don't be complacent."
"Even if we really cut you into pieces, we will kill you first."
Qiao Fa was stunned when he heard it.
I didn't expect that I would really meet a tough guy this time.
But he still spared no effort to threaten Tang Jian with words:
"You have offended the Qiao family this time. In the future, even if you are at the ends of the earth, the Qiao family will find you."
"Do you know that our eldest daughter is the wife of Sun Bofu, the little tyrant of Jiangdong?"
"And our second daughter is the wife of General Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong navy."
"If you offend the Qiao family, you will offend the entire Jiangdong!"
"You will not have enough lives to die by then!"
Tang Jian poured another cup of tea and said to him:
"How many lives do we have?" , you don't need to worry about it."
"You should worry about yourself."
"I asked your followers to report back and tell them that we have detained you, and let the Qiao family take out twice the goods in exchange for your life."
"However, seeing that you only have one follower and you are the second son. I am afraid that the Qiao family may not necessarily take twice the goods in exchange for you? After all, it is a business worth hundreds of kilograms of gold."
"If I don't see the goods at the dock after tomorrow, we will tie you up with stones and sink you into the river."
After hearing this, Qiao Fa's face turned pale!
Indeed, he was not valued in the family.
Compared to his elder brother Qiao Gu, he was selected as a filial and honest official at the age of 20 and had a bright future.
Although he is not an official now, he is in charge of most of the family's business.
If he died, it would be a good thing for him.
After all, although Qiao Gu is the eldest son, he is a concubine.
Although Qiao Fa is the second son, he is born to the wife of Qiao Erye.
It's the same as the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were three officials for four generations.
If I die.
Then the huge industry and all resources of the Qiao family will be inherited by Qiao Gu.
When Qiao Fa thought of this, he felt bitter and sad.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Tang Jian also lost interest in him.
There was a whistle outside.
Tang Jian got up and came to the bow, and saw that it was Zhou Ji rowing a small boat.
Everyone put down the ladder and took Zhou Ji to the boat.
Seeing Tang Jian, Zhou Ji immediately said:
"Sir, the ship transporting the materials has been contacted. When will it come to load the ship?"
Tang Jian immediately had another idea in his mind.
Then he took out another bag of money and said to Zhou Ji:
"You go and inform the boat gangs to come tomorrow and tell them that you want as many boats as you want, but don't get close, just stop in the middle of the river."
"And ask them to prepare more flags and wooden drums. I will pay twice the price for the boats!"
Although Zhou Ji didn't know what Tang Jian meant, he would do it since Tang Jian said so.
After all, this lord rescued the brothers from the hopeless water fort.
He earned tens of millions of dollars in a few days and built a water fort to Dantu. He is a legendary figure!
Even when Fu, the leader, mentioned him, he was full of praise.
As long as this lord gave an order, everyone would obey unconditionally.
Zhou Ji got off the sailboat and rowed away in a small boat.
The river was flowing,Wave after wave of waves crashed towards the shore.
After a day, the Qiao family did not exchange goods for people.
Qiao Fa was tied to the boat, looking at the direction of the dock, looking anxiously.
At noon, many people and horses came to the dock, and it seemed that there were about four or five hundred people.
Tang Jian stepped on the side of the boat and said to Qiao Fa:
"It seems that your family is not willing to exchange goods for your life."
"And they are ready to fight with me. It seems that you can only live until now."
As he said, he asked the guards to tie stones to Qiao Fa's body and prepare to sink him into the river.
Qiao Fa was so scared that he was paralyzed, incoherent, and struggled and rolled on the deck.
"No! No! Don't kill me!"
"Sir! Sir, please don't kill me!"
Qiao Fa struggled to kneel behind Tang Jian, raised his face and said hurriedly:
"Please spare my life! Please spare my life! Sir, don't you want pig iron, leather and hardwood? I know! I also know some channels that can get them at a lower price, and even military crossbows and war horses, I can get them for you! Please spare my life! Please spare my life! Woohoo..."
Qiao Fa kowtowed to the ground, making a thumping sound.
He was completely different from when he was arguing with Tang Jian at the dock.
After hearing this, Tang Jian turned around and squatted in front of him, saying:
"So, you are still useful?"
Qiao Fa had already burst into tears: "Useful, useful!"
Tang Jian nodded and said: "Okay, your life is saved for the time being."
"Next, let's see how I can drive away your Qiao family's troops."
While Tang Jian was speaking, the people on the dock had already boarded their ships and left the dock.
Dozens of ships were like a group of hunting wolves.
All the people on the ship were holding weapons, naked, and approaching Tang Jian on the ship.
Qiao Fa raised half of his body, his eyes fixed on the Qiao family's people and ships.
His heart was full of uneasiness.
As long as the Qiao family's people came aboard, he would definitely be saved!
In addition to him, there were only 29 people on the ship.
Even if these thieves had great abilities, it was impossible for them to leave here alive under the suppression of hundreds of Qiao family members!
Seeing that the enemy's ship had already left the port, Tang Jian looked back and thought to himself:
"Zhou Ji and his gang should have arrived."
"As soon as they arrive, I can use this to bluff and scare off the Qiao family's troops."
"It can be regarded as a degraded version of the empty city plan."
"If it succeeds, it's good. If not, we can only weigh anchor and run away."
In a flash, as a gust of river wind blew, huge waves suddenly rose on the river.
It had a certain impact on the Qiao family fleet that was against the wind.
However, they still tried their best to urge the sailors to row the boats, trying to get closer to the enemy ships as quickly as possible, and then kill all the thieves on the boats.
As the waves grew bigger and bigger, a team of ships appeared at the line between the river and the sky.
Then, two teams, three teams, and finally joined together.
Flags fluttered, wooden drums shook the sky!
The sound came along with the wind and the river, echoing across the entire river!
