The mole man with disabled limbs couldn't even flap his wings twice and sank directly into the water as soon as he entered.

However, what he said before was completely confirmed by their actions.

So, after dealing with the man with the mole, Wei Wu set his sights on the guy named Huang San.

Seeing Wei Wu looking at him, Huang San was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

In fact, it’s not his fault that he is so timid, mainly because Wei Wu just killed his men in front of him.

And there was no hesitation at all throughout the whole process. It seemed that killing was as common to this person as eating and drinking.

Anyone would be frightened if they saw this happen with their own eyes and then had this person staring at them.

At this moment, Huang San was racking his brains frantically, trying to find a way to escape.

It is definitely impossible to use force. There is only one bald man next to him, and there are only two people in total.

Just now, this young man lifted up the mole-faced man, an adult, with just his left arm. His strength was unimaginable.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! The county magistrate is here, everyone scatter!"

Just when Huang San was getting anxious, a burst of shouting and cursing suddenly came from outside the crowd.

Then a group of yamen runners roughly pushed the crowd aside to make way, and then a middle-aged man in his forties ran in.

That’s right, he ran in, and he was wearing the official uniform of a county magistrate, and he ran into the crowd with his legs spread out.

Seeing this scene, the people watching the excitement were all stunned. After all, he was a county magistrate, so why did he seem so nervous?

Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw the county magistrate walk straight up to Wei Wu and bowed.

"Marquis Changle has arrived in Tongzhou. I am late in welcoming you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this scene and what the county magistrate said, everyone immediately understood why he had such an attitude.

What shocked them even more was Wei Wu's identity. Who would have thought that the young man in front of them was actually the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty!

In fact, not only the onlookers were shocked, even Wei Wu was confused.

He did not inform anyone in advance about coming to Tongzhou this time, and he did not reveal his identity when he arrived here.

So how did the county magistrate know this?

With doubts in his heart, Wei Wu asked directly:

"I haven't told anyone about this trip. How did you know my identity?"

"Um... yes, it was the Jinyiwei who came to me and said that the Marquis had encountered some trouble at the dock and asked me to come and handle it."

Got it!

After hearing the county magistrate's answer, Wei Wu didn't bother to ask any more questions. He knew it was what Zhu Yuanzhang meant without even guessing.

The last time Zhu Yuanzhang went out, he specially sent more than a hundred Jinyiwei to follow him. But he still felt that this was not enough, so he even issued an imperial edict to mobilize troops.

Although this trip is not as dangerous as going to Shandong, we are leaving the capital after all, and I am afraid there will be many Jinyiwei following us secretly.

These Jinyiwei will not show up to disturb him, but they will definitely help him deal with small troubles, such as the current one.

However, since the Jinyiwei had already taken action and had specially called the county magistrate, Wei Wu was happy to have less trouble.

"Since you're here, I'll leave these two guys to you. Oh, and I killed the other one and threw him into the river."

After saying that, Wei Wu ignored the county magistrate and turned back to the yacht and came in front of the women.

"Let's go, Master will take you out to sea!"

After returning to the cabin with a few little girls, not long after, the yacht slowly started moving towards the estuary.

The people who were watching the fun were very curious about whether this thing that looked luxurious but had such a strange appearance was a ship.

Although Wei Wu had said many times before that this was his boat, for the ancients, this design was still too advanced.

There are neither sails nor oars, and the stern is not closed. Aren’t you afraid that water will rush in and cause the ship to sink?

It was not until now that they finally confirmed with their own eyes that this thing not only would not sink, but also had an extremely fast sailing speed.

Although no one knows how this ship moves, it is certain that it is indeed a ship.

As the yacht gradually sailed away, the crowd around the dock who had eaten their fill of melons also dispersed.

The only people at the scene were the county magistrate, the yamen runners, and Huang San and the bald man who had been captured by them.

However, they did not stay here. After the crowd dispersed, they took Huang San and the other two back to the yamen.

Along the way, neither Huang San nor the bald man said a word, not even a word to protest.

It was not until the two were brought back to the yamen prison and the county magistrate dismissed all the yamen runners that Huang San spoke his first words.

"Brother, when can I get out? Please don't keep me locked up in jail. I..."

Snapped!

Before Huang San could finish his words, the county magistrate slapped him in the face, interrupting him from continuing his words.

"Shut up!! You idiot, calling me big brother at this time, do you want me to get killed with you!?"

After saying this, the county magistrate grabbed Huang San by the collar, pulled him in front of him, and cursed in a low voice:

"Damn bastard, why did you have to offend Marquis Changle when you could have offended anyone else? You're happy just because I want you to kill me, right?"

"He's the current emperor's consort, the most trusted man around him. He wouldn't even need to lift a finger to kill us!"

"Fuck you, if you weren't my brother, I'd draw my knife and chop you to death right now, and put an end to it all, so I don't have to get dragged down by you!"

Although his collar was being pulled, Huang San did not dare to resist at all. Instead, he shrank his neck because of the scolding.

After finally waiting for the county magistrate to finish speaking, he spoke cautiously:

"Master... County Magistrate, I didn't even know he was a marquis! If I knew his identity, I wouldn't have dared to cause trouble for him!"

"I thought the boat was unique and wanted to go up and take a look. As soon as I got up, I saw a whole set of glass lamps."

"I originally wanted to bring it back. In the future, you could use it as a gift to the higher-ups, County Magistrate, to build connections. Who knows..."

Snapped!

As soon as Huang Sangang finished speaking, the county magistrate slapped him in the face again, followed by another barrage of curses.

"Do I need you to teach me how to be an official? If I hadn't cleaned up so many messes for you, I would have been promoted by now!"

"Also, I asked you to deliver a message to those pirates, so why did you come back?"
