Chapter 391
A man with a goatee and the appearance of a master ran over and said, "The big boss, the boxes have been loaded onto the boat. It's hard to sail in the middle of the night, so we have to leave quickly."
Wu Sheng looked deeply at the direction of Suzhou City and said, "But Wu Zhang hasn't come out yet."
"The second master may have left from another city gate." Wu Sheng was reluctant to give up his younger brother, but the master had to consider his own life. He kept persuading, "The master, we still have the court's fire gun on the boat. Once it is discovered, It is a big crime of looting and annihilating the family. The lives of hundreds of brothers on Jintai Island are all in the hands of the master."
They received a secret letter from the shore this afternoon and learned that there was a ship of weapons parked at the Suzhou Wharf, but in exchange, they had to help those officials kill someone. Although Jintai Island relied on doing business with the Folang machine, in exchange for the fire guns of the West, the distant water could not quench the thirst of the near. If they can get the arsenal of the imperial court, then they will no longer have to worry about anyone at sea. .
This temptation is too great, even if the time is very tight, Wu Sheng still accepts it. The secret letter said that the assassination target will leave Suzhou tonight, and they must kill each other and take away the weapons before that. Wu Sheng hurriedly ordered the staff to set off. Wu Zhang insisted on entering the city to kill the court officials. Wu Sheng couldn't control it, so he had to go with him.
Wu Zhang was in an ambush in the city, while Wu Sheng personally led a sneak attack on the official ship. When it comes to water kung fu, no one can compare to them, and I heard that these officials are from the north, and they are not even proficient in water, let alone their opponents.
They propped up the boat and approached quietly, and the person with good water sank to the water, digging a hole in the bottom of the boat. The people on the boat really panicked, and when they all ran to the leaking place to check, Wu Sheng commanded the people to board the boat quickly. The officers and soldiers on the boat were landlubbers, vulnerable to a single blow, fell off the boat like dumplings, and the two blisters were gone. The people from Jintai Island quickly lifted the wooden box and moved it to their own boat. After evacuating, they did not forget to set a fire on the official boat.
The fire was blazing brightly, reflecting the water of half the river. The master was afraid of people chasing him, and wanted to leave in a hurry, but their master stared at the city gate like a lost soul. The master kept urging, but Wu Sheng remained indifferent. He stared at the direction of the inner city and gritted his teeth: "Wait a minute."
The rest of the people on the boat couldn't hold their breath, and complained constantly. Wu Sheng couldn't take everyone's life as a joke even if he was a big boss. He was helpless, so he could only glance at the city gate reluctantly, and said with pain: "Let the boat go."
The master quickly said yes, and everyone was waiting for this sentence, and the boat set off immediately. The wharf gradually faded away, and the city of Suzhou, which was lit up with lights, also became a blurry shadow on the shore.
The people on Jintai Island were in high spirits because they had obtained a large sum of weapons for nothing, but because the big boss was holding his face, they dared not show it, so they had to hide in the corner and talk quietly: "Today is really happy, so all the things in the boat will be returned. We are. Those boxes are heavy, and my arms are numb now."
"Yes, those officers and soldiers are too useless. I can knock down one of them with one punch. This is still Jing Rui Jin Yiwei, which is really laughable. If I go to Jin Yiwei to become an official, maybe I can also get a commander Dangdang."
A group of people hid in the corner and laughed wantonly. The ship sank into the dark depths of the ocean, and soon the shore was no longer visible. At this distance, the Imperial Navy could not catch up even if they wanted to. The people on the boat grew happier, and the batters celebrated.
There is no moon tonight, the starlight is bleak, the burning ship is more and more conspicuous, the flames are licking, and the shadows on the water surface are surging, as if the underwater is another world. Suddenly, the sound of water breaking one after another came, and several men emerged from the water wet. The crowd held hands with each other and laboriously climbed up the river bank.
"This group of people can really dawdle, and they almost didn't suffocate me. The governor really expected things like God. Fortunately, the people on duty on the ship were replaced by water-permeable people. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to handle today."
"Check each other, are everyone there?"
"It's all there. A few people were injured, no one lost their lives."
"Did those people get in?"
"There are pirate corpses underwater, but they were stripped of their clothes, so they should have gotten in."
"Okay." The captain clenched the wound on his arm with his teeth clenching the wound on his arm, and said, "Enter the city, go back to the inn to meet up."

Street fighting was raging, and the boats at the dock were still on fire. These movements finally alarmed the Suzhou government. The group hurried over surrounded by officers and soldiers. When they saw Lu Heng, they asked in surprise, "Who is Your Excellency?"
Lu Heng was wounded, but he was graceful, not angry, and the entourage around him were all heroic. This kind of style is really not like ordinary merchants or civilians. Lu Heng nodded lightly to the leader, and said, "I'm under the command of Jinyiwei, Lu, who arrested a group of fugitives just now. The movement may have been louder. I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's dreams."
With such a big movement tonight, Lu Heng's whereabouts will definitely be discovered. Lu Heng simply revealed his identity directly to see what these people would do.
When the people in the Suzhou government heard the commander of Jinyiwei, their faces were full of horror. The leader stepped forward, smiled and cupped their hands and said, "It turned out to be the Governor Lu. I don't know how the Governor is driving, and they are far away. I know Yu Xiao in Suzhou. , I was fortunate enough to have met the governor. Xiaguan was ordered by the magistrate to investigate the explosion, but I didn't expect it to be the governor, so he sent someone to the government to report to the Mingzhifu to wash the dust for the governor."
