The force was so great that the young boatman fell to the ground and half of his face soon became swollen.

The young boatman reacted and jumped up to fight back, but was stopped by several older boatmen around him.

At this time, the leading servant pointed at the young boatman's nose and said arrogantly:

"What? You still want to fight back? Come on, try to touch me. Let me tell you, this is Qufu. If you touch me, you won't be able to leave alive!"

"How dare we? How dare we attack you! This kid is young and ignorant, let you teach him a lesson."

As soon as the leading servant finished speaking, the voice of Master Zheng was heard from the side.

Then Shen Lin pushed Master Zheng, who was smiling apologetically, in front of the servant.

Seeing Master Zheng coming, the leading servant first glanced at the wheelchair under his buttocks, and then spoke:

"You idiot, are you the owner of this ship?"

Master Zheng did not show any displeasure at the servant's obvious personal attack.

He still had a smile on his face, and even took out a few large gold ingots from his arms and handed them over in a somewhat flattering manner.

"Yes, yes, I am just a cripple. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with a cripple like me."

"We didn't know this waterway was closed. We just stumbled in accidentally. This is just a small token of our gratitude. Please have a drink to calm your nerves."

"Besides, we're just passing by. Could you please let us pass?"

The leading servant took the big ingot from Master Zheng, weighed it a few times in his hand, and then put it into his arms.

Then he turned to look at Master Zheng, but there was still no good look on his face.

"You idiot, don't you understand what I'm saying? This place is closed to ships, and you treat my words as bullshit?"

"I'm telling you, move your boats immediately. We're having a Confucius Memorial Ceremony in Qufu these days, and no boats are allowed to enter the Zhushui River."

"I'll only give you half an incense stick of time. If you don't move the boat, I'll send someone to sink it!"

Master Zheng didn't expect that this guy would be so difficult to deal with. He took the money but refused to do the job and even made things difficult for him.

Why is it said to be difficult for people? Because the location of their Fu ship makes it impossible to drive the ship away.

They are now in the Zhushui River, a tributary of the Qi River, and the width of the river is only about fourteen meters.

That's 47 meters, but their Fu ship is 15 meters long, so there's no way they can turn around.

In ancient times, unlike modern times, ships could not go backwards, and the water flow of this river was also downstream.

I can't even turn around, and I can't go back. It's impossible to leave with only half an incense stick of time. Isn't this a dilemma?

It is definitely impossible to slash the boat, and Master Zheng doesn't believe that the other party really dares to slash his boat.

After all, this Fu ship is not a small boat. Even if he does not resist and lets the other party slash it, it will take at least an hour to do so.

However, in the current situation, there is no need to be forceful with the other party, so even though Master Zheng feels aggrieved, he cannot turn against them.

Not only should you not get angry, you should also deal with the situation in a friendly manner to avoid making the conflict worse.

If something goes wrong here, it will definitely affect Wei Wu's subsequent plans, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Looking at the head servant's face that looked extremely annoying, Master Zheng suppressed his anger, put on a smile and said:

"Our boat is quite large, and the river isn't wide enough to turn. The time you gave us is simply not enough!"

As he spoke, Master Zheng reached into his arms again, took out a silver bag filled with money and handed it to the servant.

"How about this? Give us some time so we can find some boat trackers to pull the boat out as soon as possible."

"If the boat gets stuck here and your master finds out, you'll be scolded by him, right?"
