My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row
Chapter 400: Do you know that this is treason and punishable by death?
After the official ship passed through first, the ships behind it also slowly passed through the narrowest part in order.
Everyone on the passing ships couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as we pass this section, according to the current wind speed, with the sails fully pulled, we can completely get rid of the pirates in just one hour at the fastest speed.
The boat that Lu Zhenzhen was on was the first boat following the official ship. After passing this narrow bend, it sailed forward at the fastest speed.
After the official ship passed the bend, its speed slowed down until it stopped on the water surface after the bend.
The ships behind, which were originally a little agitated, immediately calmed down after seeing this scene.
Everyone understood that this official ship was going to dock here to protect them and see them leave safely.
Everyone suddenly felt relieved.
This scene was clearly seen not only by the people in the fleet, but also by the pirates in the reeds on both sides.
Some people with bad tempers couldn't help but say: "Damn it, they didn't even leave us some soup?"
"This is too much! They are just relying on the fact that we dare not attack that official ship—"
"Boss, do we really have to endure this kind of humiliation?"
……
He Da's eyes were filled with hostility. He smiled and his face became more ferocious: "I want to see who dares to do this on my land——"
As time passed, more and more ships passed through the bend, and now there were only about ten ships left.
The shadow of the first ship passing by could no longer be seen.
The sun was already setting, and at this rate, the ships would be able to leave safely before dark.
He Dadang stopped drinking and eating meat. He played with the dagger in his hand and stared at the ships on the river, especially the official ship, with murderous eyes.
The pirates behind him were getting more and more restless: "Boss, if we don't take action now, it will be too late."
"Boss, there are only about ten boats left—"
"Big Boss, please give the order—"
……
Mr. Jiang swallowed his saliva. He had no idea where he had thrown the book that he had been holding in his hand.
A pair of eyes looked back and forth between the official ship and He Dadangjia, not daring to speak.
He Dadang stood up and stared at the water.
After a while, he said, "Look, the draft of those boats behind us—"
Everybody looked over there.
Someone exclaimed first: "Look at the draft, these boats must be loaded with a lot of stuff——"
"You guys, dive closer and take a look at what's in this boat?" ordered the head of He.
Immediately, two or three men took off their clothes, grabbed reeds, and dived into the water.
After another half a day, seeing that there were only seven or eight boats left, He Da, the head of the team, became restless.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long, and soon ripples appeared on the water surface.
Then three men emerged from the water with pale faces.
After being dragged onto the sampan, before he could even catch his breath, one of them said in a trembling voice, "Boss, the boat is loaded with contraband salt. It's full of big bags of salt—"
"What? Did you see it clearly?" He Dadang was stunned by this sentence. He accidentally cut himself with the dagger in his hand. Blood dripped down his fingers, but he didn't care and stared at the three men.
"No, you're not mistaken! It's salt! We also heard the people on the boat say that we should be careful and not get discovered. The people on the boat were all big and strong, and they were very alert. We almost got discovered -"
Mr. Jiang, who had been hiding in the back, shouted, "Boss, this is a godsend!"
He Dadang was stunned. "What chicken? Why eat chicken at this time?"
"Boss, I mean, God is helping us! Were you worried about not having the chance to act? Now the opportunity has come! This official ship is protecting smuggled salt, which is a serious crime! Even if the man on the ship is the emperor's own son, he would still be held accountable."
"It's a pity that he is not. Once it is found out, it will be a capital crime! We can take action now! If the people on the official ship dare to take action, use this to threaten them and they will obey! Who knows, they may have to beg us for help at that time-" After saying this, Mr. Jiang smiled sinisterly.
When He Dadang heard this, his eyes lit up: "Really?"
Mr. Jiang nodded heavily: "If we take advantage of this, we will have control over their vital points. They will have to listen to us--"
"Okay, brothers, did you hear that? Those boats back there are full of salt, which is really good stuff! If we make a fortune out of this, we'll never have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of our lives!"
"Fuck him—"
"Yes, Boss, just give the order—"
……
Maybe it was really God's blessing. I don't know when, a thin mist began to appear on the river surface, and gradually the fog became thicker and thicker.
From where they were, they could only see the outlines of the ships.
General He gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Brothers, God is on our side, charge—"
After saying that, he rushed out first.
The group of pirates behind also followed and rushed forward with a whooshing sound.
Although the sampan is small, it is flexible and fast.
Soon it slid to the side of the ships.
Those who were very skilled in their work took out ropes and put them on the deck to climb up.
Some people also took knives and axes and chopped at the hull.
Some even dived into the water and tried to break the bottom of the boat.
With such a big commotion, the few ships that had just passed the bend in front were probably frightened and did not speed up to escape. Instead, they turned their bows in panic.
Several ships were stuck there, unable to move forward or backward.
Especially the official ships, which were sandwiched between these ships and could not move.
The few ships behind had not yet passed the bend and probably wanted to turn around and escape, but they were squeezed together.
Some people on the boat also poked their heads out and saw the pirates. Someone shouted, "The pirates are coming. Fight them!"
Then dozens of men with long sticks and long knives rushed out.
The pirates saw that there were only a few dozen of them, and they were not panicked at all. Instead, they laughed wildly: "We advise you to surrender honestly, or jump into the water directly. Maybe we will be happy to let you go. Otherwise, if we start fighting with real swords and guns, don't blame us for being rude--"
Some pirates had already lit tung oil torches and thrown them onto the boat.
It was not known whether it was intentional or accidental, but two torches fell on the deck of the official ship.
Fortunately, there was someone guarding the deck and the torch was quickly extinguished.
Then, a tall, handsome man in official robes emerged from the ship and stood at the bow. "How dare you attack an imperial ship and an imperial official? Do you know that this is treason and punishable by death?"
