Chapter 1112 Another Julu Port
"It's only a few dozen miles from here to the capital." He Lingchuan patted him on the back, "You go back. After asking about the situation, come to the capital to find me."
Ah Hao agreed, walked forward ten steps and couldn't help looking back, but there was no one behind him.
Are these two strangers human or ghosts? But they are so generous.
Ah Hao looked at the silver ingot in his hand, rolled his eyes a few times, and strode to the alley where he was beaten before.
His companion was still unconscious in the alley, covered with a basket.
Just as He Lingchuan said, this man will not wake up before tomorrow morning.
Ah Hao checked carefully, there was no sign that the basket had been moved, and obviously no one found the tall man unconscious here.
This place is only thirty or fifty steps away from the sea. Ah Hao went to the alley entrance to look around. It was quiet and no one passed by.
What a good opportunity. He turned back to the alley, pulled out a short knife from his boots, and stabbed it into the tall man's heart!
The tall man didn't move, and lost his life without knowing it.
Ah Hao was afraid that he would not die, so he stabbed him twice more in the chest, cursing as he stabbed: "Feeding your grandson to the fish, this is the end of offending your master Hao!"
I can't beat you normally, so why am I afraid that I can't kill you today?
He wiped the blood on the tall man's clothes, and then took off a broken table leg and stabbed it into the wound, stirring it vigorously for a few times. Then he dragged the body for dozens of steps and threw it into the sea.
The domestic sewage of nearby residents was all poured into this sea channel, which was fishy and smelly, and few people usually went near it.
In order to prevent the body from floating up, he also tied a big stone.
With a plop, his companion disappeared.
"You just sink here and watch me get promoted in the future." Ah Hao clapped his hands, feeling refreshed.
In the past six months, the tall man had played tricks on him and extorted money from him. Today, he finally got his revenge.
At dawn, Ah Hao went to ask for two pancakes from the pot stall. There were not only leeks inside, but also fragrant preserved vegetables and fat meat. The fat was so fat that it sizzled with oil.
The stall owner gave enough ingredients but did not dare to collect money. Ah Hao generously stuffed him with three copper coins: "Take it! No need to change."
After eating and drinking, he went to the back of the abandoned house to pick up bricks and hit himself on the forehead.
He did not dare to use force the first time, so it only hurt but not hurt. The second time, the blood flowed, and he could cover his head and return to the gang.
When he saw the gang leader, he cried and complained that he had finally caught two fat sheep today and made thirty taels of silver, but the tall guy was blinded by the huge amount of money, knocked him unconscious, and robbed the money and ran away.
The gang leader knew what kind of character the tall guy was. He believed 70% of it when he heard it. While sending people to ask for the tall guy, he comforted Ah Hao a few words, gave him half a patch of wound medicine and sent him away.

"It's dawn, get up!" Someone on the top shouted while knocking on the gong, and the deck creaked. "We've docked, we've arrived at Julu Port, get off the ship quickly!"
Why did we dock at Julu Port again? He Lingchuan sat up after hearing the voice, and was stunned for a few breaths before remembering his mission.
He was assigned by Zhong Shengguang to bring back the Mingdeng from the Shining Gold Plain.
That thing was extremely important to General Hong.
So, he came again.
"Boss, get off the ship quickly!" Hu Min on the side happily carried his bag.
Anyone who has been drifting on the ocean for several months would be so eager to step on land.
The ocean-going ship is just a floating cage.
The seafarers on the ship rushed down in a hurry, and only He Lingchuan followed slowly.
What's the hurry? He just stepped onto the dock here a few days ago.
They all got off the ship at Julu Port, and they all went to find the Mingdeng.
The world of Panlong and reality almost overlapped.
When he yawned for the second time, Menban and others joined him.
On this long journey, he brought Hu Min, Menban, A Luo, and the elite team he trained in Yuheng City, a total of ten people.
Menban turned his neck while walking, making a clattering sound: "After drifting for seventy or eighty days, mushrooms have grown on my mattress! If A Luo hadn't said it was poisonous, I would have chewed it when I slept at night."
The cabin was dark and damp, and there was a lingering smell of rotten feet. It was not surprising that termites, mice, insects and mushrooms grew.
At this time, there was another seafarer who was nearly forty years old, with a little white hair and tall and thin.
"Mr. He!" He raised his hand to greet He Lingchuan, and there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes when he smiled, "We agreed that you will stay at my house for two days after getting off the ship!"
This person's name is Wang Wei. He boarded the ship at Daofeng Port and traveled with the ship for more than ten days. He spent three or four days drinking with He Lingchuan.
He is a private school teacher, his home is in Julu Port, and the school is closed during the busy farming season, because the students have to go home to help harvest crops.
During this period, there is no income, so Wang Wei has to go out to work alone to supplement the family income.
He has a passionate personality and can chat with He Lingchuan and others very well.
"How can you take drunken nonsense seriously?" He Lingchuan waved his hand, "There are so many of us, so we won't cause you any trouble. Just stay in the inn."
"How can that be possible?" Wang Wei shook his head like a wave drum, "There is not much in Julu Port, but there are the most pickpockets. You stay in the inn at night, and when you open your eyes at dawn, everything except the clothes on your body will be stripped off!"
Hu Min smiled and said, "Didn't Master Wang also run an inn during this period?"
Wang Wei said seriously, "That's different, different. I usually don't let outsiders enter my home."
It was time to get off the boat. He Lingchuan looked at the pier and said, "Has this dock just been renovated?"
The wood of the pier seemed to have just been painted, and the smell of tung oil had not dissipated yet. There were not many barnacles attached to the rocks.
Also in Julu Port, this dock is different from the one he saw a few days ago, it is very new.
The sailor who tied the rope on the pier heard it and replied: "It is not renovated, it is just built! The Maritime Customs paid for it and it was completed and put into use three months ago."
After getting off the boat, although the sea breeze blowing in his face also carried a strong fishy smell, He Lingchuan subconsciously stopped.
Is this Julu Port?
The berths beside the pier are almost full, and all kinds of merchant ships and fishing boats are swaying with the waves.
The porters carry goods to and fro like hardworking ants; the guests go up and down, and bargain with the captain.
The buildings on the shore are new and old, but most of them have been rectified. Even if they have been patched, the facades are clean.
The road is not as wide as He Lingchuan's Suo Ding Island, but it is relatively flat.
In later generations, the docks are mostly beggars and refugees.
But here, there are many donkey carts and ox carts parked by the docks, and the drivers are working hard to get work.
All in all, this port is as busy as Baisha Port. People coming and going are very busy and know what they have to do.
The number of ships and passengers in Julu Port in later generations is less than 30% of this one.
Oh, was Julu Port so prosperous?
Wang Wei asked He Lingchuan: "What's wrong?"
"It's quite prosperous here." He Lingchuan said truthfully, "Unexpectedly."
