Great Tang Dynasty

1535 Escort

When Cheng Chumo and others returned to the ship, neither the owner of the passenger ship nor Li Shimin had returned.

It makes them a little weird.

It stands to reason that Li Shimin and Qin Tian went out just to put on a show, and they should be back now.

However, they were not in a hurry. With Qin Tian following Li Shimin, there would definitely be no problems with their second master.

This is their absolute confidence in Qin Tian.

After they waited on the boat for a while, Li Shimin and Qin Tian finally came back.

And when they rushed back, everyone was carrying a big bag of crickets, and there was also some cricket food, which they bought at a place that sold cricket food after they bought the crickets.

They will stay on the boat for the next few days, and they will not be able to get cricket food, so they have to buy it in advance.

Seeing Li Shimin and Qin Tian carrying so many crickets, Cheng Chumo and the others were shocked.

"Second Master, Brother Qin, why did you get so many things?"

Qin Tian smiled wryly, and said, "Second Lord likes it."

When they heard that Li Shimin liked it, Cheng Chumo and the others immediately laughed.

"I'm bored on the boat, if I can fight crickets, it will be better."

"Yeah, it's great to have crickets to play with."

Seeing that Cheng Chumo and the others also liked fighting crickets, Li Shimin also became excited and complacent, saying: "Okay, each of you will choose twenty of these crickets later, and then we will fight slowly to see who can win in the end. But it’s all about strategy.”

Before Li Shimin just thought cricket fighting was fun, but after seeing Qin Tian win, he found that fighting cricket also pays attention to some strategies, so he wanted to study it.

Regardless of whether it is from the perspective of military tactics or other considerations, he just finds it interesting.

Hearing that they could choose twenty, and they had to compete to see who was better, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu immediately became interested again.

However, Qin Tian didn't pay too much attention to this, he just asked: "You came back so early, how is the situation of the grandpa and grandson?"

With such a reminder, everyone was shocked to realize that there was something serious they hadn't said.

"Brother Qin, everything is done. You are right. Those two people are really ambitious. They are affected by the situation of Mrs. Jia's family..."

Qin Huaiyu narrated the situation to everyone. After listening, Li Shimin and Qin Tian also smiled wryly. The conflict of interests can be seen everywhere.

"Brother Qin, those two people are so hateful, why don't we just kill them and throw them into the river after the boat leaves."

"That's right, those two people are really vicious. After sailing, kill them."

They all wanted to kill Zhu Xiao and Zhao Er, but there were too many people here, and after killing people they would have to be noticed, so the situation would not be very good.

Therefore, even if you want to kill someone, you have to wait until after the ship sails.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows. Although he felt that those two people deserved to die, human life must be respected. Even if they were guilty, they could not be allowed to use lynching indiscriminately.

"After going to Danjiang City, just hand over the two of them to the government for disposal."

As far as this matter is concerned, handing them over to the government will not kill them, but since they are killers, they must have killed people before, so let the government investigate, and they can be punished to some extent.

After Li Shimin said this, the others naturally had no objections, so after calling the old housekeeper and Jia Wang out, they told them about the situation.

However, after they finished speaking, the old housekeeper shook his head and said: "I'm afraid there is no such thing. The elder brother of Mrs. Zhang is the governor of Danjiang City. After sending those two people to the governor's mansion, wouldn't they Was it released? And now even if we go back, the security issue may not be resolved, the two people here have failed, and the Zhang family will not send other people to wait for us in Danjiang City if they are not guaranteed."

As he said that, the old housekeeper's face darkened. He found it difficult to handle the matter, unless their old man could live long enough for Jia Wang to protect him, or he would divorce his wife.

But with Zhang's elder brother around, how easy is it to divorce his wife?

Even if Jia Wang is sent to Jia's mansion, the situation is not good.

The closer he got to Danjiang City, the more worried he became.

After Li Shimin heard these words, he immediately frowned. Would the governor of Danjiang City dare to do such a thing?
If that's the case, he really wanted to see if Inspector Zhang really dared to let Zhu Xiao and Zhao Er go.

As an official, it's okay to promote the virtuous and not avoid relatives, but if you protect your family and bend the law for personal gain, that's a big deal.

At first I thought it was just a private fight between a wealthy family, but I never thought it would involve people in the officialdom.

Since the officials of Datang were involved, they couldn't ignore it.

After waving his hand, Li Shimin said: "You don't have to worry, since we have encountered this matter, we will definitely help you to the end."

Li Shimin was born with a convincing majesty. After he said this, the old butler An only thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

Now, with so few people helping out, maybe they really have a chance.

After saying this, the old housekeeper took Jia Wang back to rest, while Zhu Xiao and Zhao Er were imprisoned. Qin Tian went to visit them once and made some inquiries.

Cheng Chumo and the others did ask before, but they were not careful enough, so Qin Tian had to ask again.

And under Qin Tian's coercion and intimidation, they really revealed some more important news.

After asking, Qin Tian also told about sending them to the government.

Zhu Xiao and Zhao Er had already given up their hearts, but after hearing this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

If they could be handed over to the government, their lives would basically be saved.

Although they betrayed Zhang Shi this time, as long as they are willing to work hard for Zhang Shi in the future, Zhang Shi's elder brother will definitely give them a chance.

"Great, really great."

"That's right, when we return to Danjiang City, we will be saved. At that time, the two of us swear to Madam that we will be loyal to him, otherwise it will be difficult for us to betray him."

When the two were secretly rejoicing, the owner of the passenger ship came back from shopping.

This ship belongs to him, so many things that happened on it can't be hidden from him, but he also knows that people like Li Er are very unusual, so he chose to turn a blind eye to the matter of detaining Zhu Xiao and others. up.

Fortunately, Qin Tian said that he would pay him more travel expenses, so he naturally had no objections. Even if Qin Tian and the others killed Zhu Xiao on the way, he would choose to remain silent.
