Daming King of Punishment

Page 514

After hearing this, King Jin still had a smile on his face, and nodded in response: "Lord Song, you don't have to be so polite. This king is looking forward to doing more things like this! It's just for the first emperor to see, his son Everyone is a virtuous person. Let my emperor's elder brother know that not all of his brothers are worthless!"

Song Wuya nodded in agreement.

Bai Zhuo was listening to the conversation between the two at the side, and interrupted at this moment: "Master Jin, I was in a hurry before, and the lower official had a matter that I didn't have time to ask in the future. I don't know if I should ask more questions at this time!"

"Oh? What's the question, Lord Bai? Could it be that you want to ask about the treasure in Nankai City?" King Jin listened to Bai Zhuo's words, still smiling, and made a tentative guess.

But I don't want to, his words are completely on the mark, what else Bai Zhuo wants to ask is other than this matter.

Bai Zhuo was immediately embarrassed by King Jin's words, and had to admit: "King Jin really has the eyes, he can see what the officials are thinking at a glance."

"Master Bai is really joking! This king is not a wise eye. I just guess that besides asking about this matter, Lord Bai can ask this king about other important matters." King Jin waved his hands and said with a smile: "This The treasures really exist, and there are quite a few of them, so the Holy Majesty must be delighted this time!"

"That's good, that's good, the official still doubts whether this treasure is really there." Bai Zhuo nodded and said.

"Don't worry, my lords, about this matter. This king has already packed the treasure, and it will be shipped to the capital within a month." King Jin told Bai Zhuo and Song Wuya with certainty that the treasure was real. It does exist, and it's all sorted out.

Originally Song Wuya had already forgotten about this matter, if Bai Zhuo and King Jin hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.

It can be seen that Bai Zhuo has been thinking about this matter all the time. When he went to Nankai City, he probably didn't forget to ask, but Song Wuya was not present, so he didn't dare to offend King Jin.

Now that he had received accurate information about the treasure from King Jin, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After handing over the current matter to King Jin, then Song Wuya and the others can retire.

They were short on time. This trip to Nantou County was originally traced by Wuliangjiao who wanted to intervene in the illegal salt business here.But in the end, they didn't catch the slightest clue of the Wuliangjiao, which made them somewhat disappointed.

After discussing with King Jin, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo returned to the inn to pack their luggage with Situ Wen Xiaohuan.

Today, they suddenly seem to have no goals.

"Brother Wuya, where should we go next?" Bai Zhuo naturally focused on Song Wuya.

But at this moment, Song Wuya sighed immediately after hearing his words: "Hey! I don't even know where to go! I think we should continue walking east along this river."

"Going east? I'm afraid the east will be close to the sea!" Bai Zhuo said helplessly when he heard that Song Wuya was going east.

They went east all the way, and although they had gained something, they were not satisfied.So Bai Zhuo probably didn't want to continue heading east.

"Brother Bai, what do you mean we should change directions?" Song Wuya heard some dissatisfaction in Bai Zhuo's words, so he asked.

Bai Zhuo nodded immediately: "Brother Wu Ya, we've been walking eastward, but we haven't made any progress. I think we might as well go in another direction. Maybe our luck is not in the east, but in other places!"

After experiencing these helpless things, Bai Zhuo became superstitious instead.

Song Wuya seriously considered Bai Zhuo's opinion, it's not that he is also superstitious, it's just that he feels that although there is no scientific basis for such things, sometimes they will have extraordinary effects.

"Wu Ya, don't listen to Bai Zhuo, let's continue eastward." Situ Wen heard what the two said, interrupted Song Wuya's train of thought, and reminded him: "Let's go all the way, and temporarily change lanes. , might miss something."

Chapter 542 Torrential Rain

Chapter 542 Torrential Rain

In the end, the four decided to continue eastward along the original route.

After leaving Nantou County, the four of them took the water route and went down the river by boat.This trip took four or five days. Although they passed through many cities on the way, Song Wuya and the others were not allowed to stop. Their purpose was to go straight to the provincial capital Donghua City.

"You two sons, there is a small town ahead, so I can only send you here, and I can't go any further."

The boat stopped suddenly, and the boatman in charge turned his head and said to Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo in the cabin.

"Why is this?"

There were still a few people talking and laughing, but when they heard what the boatman said, they stopped talking immediately, and Bai Zhuo looked outside and asked a question in doubt.

"Because of the rainy season, the river has swelled so much these days, and it's going to rain again. It's not that I don't want to send a few provincial capitals, but because if I go on like this, I'm afraid I will encounter some danger." The boatman asked Bai Zhuo explained.

But Bai Zhuo didn't seem to believe what the boatman said, so he got out of the cabin, looked up at the sky and frowned, "Look at this, it's really going to rain. However, the water in the river is not as clear as you said. That skyrocketing? I think it will take less than half a day to reach Donghua City, the provincial capital, so there won't be any problems."

"Oh! Young master, aren't you embarrassing me? There is really no way to move forward." After Bai Zhuo's words, the boatman still insisted on his principles.

Listening to the conversation between Bai Zhuo and the boatman, Situ Wen, who was sitting next to Song Wuya, pushed him lightly, and gave him a look outside.

Song Wuya understood, and immediately followed out of the cabin. He looked at the river, and it was indeed not what the boatman said.However, the boatman still insisted on sending them here, with a very embarrassed look on his face.

"Brother Bai, since the boatman said that there is no way to go forward, let's listen to him. Anyway, it's not long from the provincial capital, and judging by the weather, it's likely to rain soon, so we just happened to find A place to rest your feet, so as not to suffer from the cold."

"This young master is right. As the saying goes, if you are afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of an eventuality! I am also thinking about the young masters and ladies!" The boatman immediately climbed up the pole when he heard Song Wuya help him. .

Bai Zhuo frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy, after all, the formation was about to end, and the boatman was unwilling to go forward at this time.

"Okay, since Brother Wu Ya said so, let's get off the boat here!" Bai Zhuo heard Song Wuya said so, so he didn't care too much about the boatman.After he agreed to Song Wuya's words, he turned his head and asked the boatman: "Boss, where is this place ahead? How far is it from the provincial capital?"

"There is a small county in front of here, called Huncheng. It takes about half a day to travel by water from the provincial capital, and it takes only one day to travel by land." Seeing their agreement, the boatman's embarrassment disappeared, and he was very happy. Answering Bai Zhuo's inquiry.

Bai Zhuo and Song Wuya nodded at the same time, and signaled the boatman to stop at the shore.

"Okay, since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you, just stop near the city." Bai Zhuo didn't say anything anymore.

The boatman immediately responded happily: "Okay! It's not far ahead, and you can enter the city after a few hundred steps."

The so-called Hun City had already appeared in Song Wuya's sight, but no matter how they looked at the distance between Hun City and the river bank, it didn't seem like a distance of a hundred or so steps.

Soon the boatman docked the boat on the shore, and after paying the boat fare, the four of them set off from the river bank to Huncheng with their luggage.

"It's about a hundred or so steps, I think it's more than a mile." Bai Zhuo looked at the distant Huncheng, and muttered angrily.He looked back at the boatman, but saw that the boatman had already turned the boat around, and was going upstream as if he was about to return home.

Seeing this situation, Bai Zhuo couldn't help getting angry: "Hey! Look at this guy, he said that it's going to rain, he might be in danger, but he's fine, he's not worried at all, and he's going back with the boat !"

Bai Zhuo's complaint drew laughter from Song Wuya and the others.

"Brother Wu Ya, Miss Situ, what are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

Seeing his puzzled look, Song Wuya smiled and said: "Brother Bai, can't you see it? The road ahead is not impossible. Even if it rains heavily, you can still go forward. The boatman is unwilling to go on, there must be other reasons, do you really think it is the river water?"

"Hey! If I had known this guy lied to me, I wouldn't have paid him the boat money!" Bai Zhuo obviously didn't see this, and after being awakened by Song Wuya, he was immediately furious.

Song Wuya hastened to persuade: "Okay, okay, Brother Bai, don't get angry. We are getting off the boat anyway, and everyone has already run away, so what can you do? I think we should hurry to the city as soon as possible. Let’s see, it’s raining before we know when!”

Listening to Song Wuya's words, Bai Zhuo looked up at the sky.

The sky was gloomy, and the distance was gray.Above their heads, dark clouds covered the top, and it was as black as ink.

Under the dull dark clouds, there were gusts of cold wind blowing from time to time, and the few people in thin clothes already had goose bumps.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it looks really scary today!" Bai Zhuo immediately complained, wrapped up his clothes and walked towards Huncheng.

Song Wuya looked at Situ Wen with his arms folded, and thoughtfully took off his coat, and put it on her body.
