Chapter 500 Repeated Searches

After looking at the girl for a while, the man reached out and wrapped her up together with the quilt, and stepped on the small flower stand in the innermost cabin of the cabin three times, and saw that the bulkhead behind the flower stand suddenly parted to the two sides, revealing Inside a very narrow compartment.

Just enough to fit a person's width.

After the bulkhead was closed again, it was completely invisible from the outside that there was a compartment inside.

"Second leader, the entrance to the wharf outside Xuzhou City is just ahead, someone is checking!" The old sailor turned his head and said in a low voice.

"Keep going, as if nothing happened, there are still people at home waiting for you to go back."

The old sailor felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly said, "I know what to do, the second master can rest assured!"

While responding, he also winked and warned the crew around him.

In the case of Erdangjia, the sound is not too loud, they just happen to be able to hear them all.

That warning was not just for the old sailors, but for all of them.

This waterway is the natural waterway of their gang, and there are no less than a hundred round trips every year. The veteran sailors know who is at that pass, and suddenly more people are checking. The matter must be related to the girl who was rescued just now.

The second leader's attitude is that he vowed to keep that girl.

They all make a living under the hands of Cao Gang, and they are the confidantes of the second leader, and they will not expose the people who the second leader wants to protect.

Nor did they dare.

Otherwise, with the power of the Cao Gang, it would be absolutely impossible to eat this meal in the future.

Someone blocked the search at the pass, and the old sailor slowed down the speed of the boat and slowly approached, raising his voice, "The Caobang ship is passing by! I don't know what the officials are looking for? Our ships are all for the nobles in Beijing. Goods, if it is delayed, I can’t bear it.”

The people on the pier ignored the old sailor's words, and jumped onto the boat after a distance, "The officials will search and arrest the important criminals, and all irrelevant people will come to the deck. Otherwise, the officials will not be responsible for anything that happens!"

"Catch the important criminal? This official, are you from the Xuzhou government office? Dare to ask what the prisoner did and what he looks like? Please tell the official, so that we can be alert to our sailors, so as not to encounter I don’t know if there is a dangerous person.” In the cabin, the man came out with a calm tone.

"It turned out to be the second leader of the Cao Gang." The people who searched the boat immediately recognized the man who came out, and the aura of not being close to strangers on his body subsided a lot, "We are also following orders to handle the case. As for the details, the second leader should not inquire. .”

The Cao Gang is very well-known in the Central South generation, and the water transportation of the three prefectures of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yunzhou are all in their hands, and the power network is extremely huge.

The second leader in front of him is the fastest rising figure in the Cao Gang, and his means are obvious.

Try not to offend if you can.

Hearing what the officer said, the man didn't feel too embarrassed, and nodded, "In this case, I don't dare to stop the officer's work. You can search inside and outside the boat, but please hurry up, sir. You also know how to transport ships. There is no delay in transporting the goods, there is a fixed time to arrive at any place, it doesn't matter if we miss the time and lose money, we are afraid that the nobles in Beijing will be angry, this ship is for the Liu family's goods in the capital."

"Don't worry, the second master, we will let you go if there is no problem after the search. You deliver goods to the Liu family in Kyoto all the year round. Even our yamen don't dare to delay."

The official's words were sweet, and they didn't spare any corners during the search, and even the containers where the goods were placed were opened for inspection.

In the end nothing was found.

The man nodded slightly to the official, folded his hands in front of him, and said with a faint smile, "Master Guan, may our ship set sail?"

The officer jumped onto the pier and made a gesture of invitation, "Second Master, I was on business just now, please Haihan, please!"

The man at the pier arched his hands, and the man turned his head and said to the old sailor behind him, "Set sail."

"Yes, Second Master."

The ship set off, and after a certain distance, the old sailor dared to look up and let out a breath of foul air from his chest.

If the Second Master hadn't stood in front of him just now, he might have revealed his secrets.

When the official sent to the cabin, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

People were in the cabin, even though they knew the place where ordinary people were hidden in Erdang's house, they still couldn't help being frightened, fearing that when the officials searched and searched, if they accidentally touched the mechanism, everyone on the whole boat would have to play.

As the ship moved forward, it was already far away from the pier just now. The old sailor looked back from time to time, thinking that the second master would move people out after passing the pass.

After all, hiding in such a narrow space, the girl was still unconscious after a long time.

But he didn't want the second master to continue to look at the account book at his desk as if he had forgotten about him, and didn't say a word to the girl who was hiding.

"Second Master..." He opened his mouth, wanting to remind him, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a black shadow flying towards this direction from the shore for several days, and landed on the boat in the blink of an eye.

With a sound of squatting, the sharp sword with a cold light lay across his neck, and the old sailor's face turned pale immediately.

"Search!"

One word, hoarse and cold.

Because of this sudden encounter, the boat stopped on the surface of the water.

The men in black moved extremely quickly, they separated and searched the cabin and deck, and finally shook their heads at the man in black holding the sword.

Withdrawing the sword, the leading man in black looked at the man sitting in the cabin, "Where is he?"

The man raised his head, his face extremely ugly, "I don't know who you belong to. The officials at the pier also asked to stop the ship to search for criminals. Are you all together? My cargo ship is small or not. If it can hide people, just now I was searched out by the official! If you finish the search, please help me, don't scare my crew, if you are still not satisfied, you can search it several times! My Cao Gang has been sailing for many years, He has always been law-abiding, and there is absolutely no reason to harbor suspects!"

The old sailor knelt down, "My lords, my lords, we are just a cargo ship. I really don't know who you want to search for. We are just transporting cloth. Please forgive me, my lords!"

The man in black ignored the old sailor who knelt down and begged for mercy, and focused on the people in the cabin. The other party's eyes did not flicker or avoid, but his face became more and more ugly, and the suppressed anger seemed to explode at any time.

"Walk!"

The breath of death dissipated as the man in black retreated.

The old sailor was pale and couldn't stand up for a long time.

It really scared the old man to death just now.

Fortunately, the second master didn't move the person out, otherwise the sword might not have eyes.

Who did such a young girl offend, causing the officials and men in black to search her repeatedly?

In the cabin, the man's tense back slowly relaxed, opened the cabin wall, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.
