Wuchang is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Han River. The water transportation conditions are extremely convenient. Bulk goods are transported by water. There are more than a dozen wharfs of large and small, civil and official. King Zhu Zhen of Chu also has a private wharf. In name, it is used to transport tributes and carry luggage. In fact, Zhu Zhen secretly traded along the river. There are nearly 400 slaves on the wharf, all of whom are coolies who carry goods.

Early in the morning, Cheng Yannian set up a stall here, and his deputy general selected strong people from the coolies to join the investigation team. Cheng Yannian had nothing to do and lay on the chair and watched.

Cheng Yannian's deputy general is Han Danding. He is about his early thirties, has a burly figure and a straight waist. He has a standard military image. He has a long face and a clear outline. He rarely sees a smile all year round, giving people a feeling like a piece of cold granite.

Han calmly sat behind a wide table, and in front of him, there was a long queue. These were slaves from the royal family on the dock. He would select fifty people from them to join the investigation team, and the treatment was superior, so everyone signed up very enthusiastically. Manager Li was in charge of the affairs. He had just arranged for Yang Ning to be a clerk, but Yang Ning was unwilling to go to the investigation team, so he did not arrange for Yang Ning to line up.

At this time, he had already picked more than twenty people, and it was a thin and tall man like a bamboo pole. He kept coughing, so that his waist could not be straightened. Han calmly frowned and asked him, "What's your name?"

"I... cough! Cough! Call me Cao Tian, ​​cough! Cough! I'm willing to join."

Before Han Danding could speak, Cheng Yannian next to him had already jumped up with his nose covering his head, "Can the tuberculosis ghost want? Get it aside and stay away from me."

Immediately, two guards came up to drag Cao Tian aside and drove him away from a distance. Han calmly shook his head and smiled, and asked the next person, "What's your name?"

The person below was not tall and had tender facial features, but he seemed to be a child who had not grown up. He clasped his fists and said, "My name is Zhao Shisanlang."

A strange color flashed in Han Danding's eyes, and he smiled again: "You are so small, can you still work at the dock?"

"Report to Jun Ye, although I am small, I have the greatest strength, and I run fast!"

"Oh!" Cheng Yannian next to him was interested. He walked up and smiled, "Then show me your skills."

"Okay!" Zhao Shisanlang turned around and grabbed two big men, held them high above his head, and ran away like lightning. When he ran to fifty steps, he turned back and ran back. He was so scared that the two of them shouted in horror. Seeing that he was breathing slightly, Cheng Yannian laughed, stepped forward and put them on his shoulder and said, "Okay! Zhao Shisanlang, I like this name, you will follow me from now on."

Zhao Shisanlang hurriedly knelt down: "Zhao Shisanlang is willing to serve his life!"

Han calmly stood aside and looked at it lightly, as if it was as expected.

Soon, fifty people were selected. Cheng Yannian smiled calmly at Han with satisfaction and said, "Old Han, you still have a vision. You know you are going to pick people from the dock. I don't like those spoiled bastards in the mansion!"

"Qianhu, you choose most of these people, but you have a better eye." Han calmly smiled and said, "I think there are quite a few good people among them. Isn't Qianhu missing a few personal guards? You might as well choose them."

Cheng Yannian grinned, "Do you still need to say this? I'll take a fancy to that Zhao Shisanlang." He turned around and waved to him. Zhao Shisanlang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I'd like to listen to the lord's orders."

"From now on, you will be my left guard. If I don't like anyone, you will beat me hard. Do you understand?"

"Zhisanlang understands."

At this time, a family member of the royal family hurried from afar, and he shouted from afar, "Cheng Qianhu!"

Cheng Yannian recognized him as the eunuch in charge next to the girl and asked in surprise: "What happened?"

The eunuch in charge attached himself to his ear and whispered a few times. Cheng Yannian was furious and pointed at the direction of the prince's mansion and sweared: "Damn Hu Bailang, how dare you ruin my good things? Let me see how I deal with you."

"Qianhu, what happened?" Han asked calmly and concerned.

"I fell in love with a woman, and the Hu Bailang provoked me, which ruined my good things." Cheng Yannian was filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are not sure, I want to be tough."

"Let's go first!" He waved his hand and walked towards the camp with the fifty people he selected.

Han Danding glanced at Zhao Shisanlang quickly, and a cold smile flashed in his eyes.

In the morning, Li Wei was leisurely walking outside. Since he learned that the person who stole the letter had been hiding in the Chu Prince's Mansion, he was not in a hurry and waited patiently for the opportunity to arrive. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Yang Ning running back hurriedly.

"Why, did you give up after only two days?"

"Brother Fifth, something happened at the pier today, so I rushed back." Yang Ning ran out of breath and said, "Let's go to the house to talk."

In the room, Li Wei was listening to Yang Ning's story calmly, and couldn't help laughing: "This Zhao Wuji's subordinate is easy to save trouble. He doesn't even change his name. Just add a Lang to solve it. If I guess correctly, this Zhao Shisanlang's slightly breathing is fake. Carrying two people to run is a piece of cake for him."

"Fifth brother, I'm worried that Zhao Wuji would also know that the person who steals the letter was in the Chu Prince's Mansion, so he sent someone to sneak into Cheng Yannian's subordinates."

Li Weizheng shook his head and smiled, "No, he couldn't know. He just wanted to use the local snake of Chu, the King of Chu to find letters. He brought too few people and assassination was OK, but finding people was far from enough. This is also his cleverness."

When Yang Ning heard what Li Weizheng said make sense, he felt relieved. He suddenly remembered something again and hurriedly said, "By the way, I heard from Manager Li this morning that the Chu Palace would celebrate the birthday of the princess and celebrate the completion of the new princess, and hold a grand banquet to invite celebrities from Jingchu."

"Oh?" Li Weizheng suddenly became very interested and asked quickly: "When is it?"

"I heard it seems to be ten days later."

"Ten days?" Li Wei was walking a few steps behind his back, and immediately turned around and said, "This is our opportunity. A large number of people will inevitably need to hold a banquet for the King of Chu. You immediately give Manager Li 500 stagnant money and ask him to find a way to let you go to the King of Chu to do business. The reason is to meet those celebrities in Jingchu at the banquet."

"I understand, let's go now!" As soon as he walked to the door, Li Weizheng stopped him again, "Go and invite Guo Xin to me by the way. I have something to ask him."

Soon, Guo Xin, the leader of the coolie gang, rode a horse to Li Weizheng's residence. His loud voice trembled and his ears buzzed, "Brother Li, please ask me if you have any questions."

Li Wei was quickly invited him into the house and closed the doors and windows. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Guo, I want to be a fake road guide. Can you find a master in this field?"

"Lu Yin?" Guo Xin smiled, "Don't say it's a small road Yin, even if it's an official document, I have a way."

He stretched out his hand and said, "Ten coins are the cheapest price. I can't afford it. I'll deliver it to you in the afternoon after it is ready."

Li Weizheng gave him ten coins of money and wrote the name and address he needed on the white paper. Guo Xin took the white paper and he knew a few words, but the paper said: "Yan Shi, from Sanmu Village, Yangluo Town, Huanggang County."

Guo Xin was very trustworthy and really sent the road in the afternoon. It was indeed a master's job, and it was really a bit different from it. Li Wei was just waiting for a day when he saw it was getting late. The next day, he set off. The place he was going to go to Hanyang Prefecture. After crossing the river, he entered Hanyang County and found the largest inn. He entered the door and said, "Let's stay in the hotel!"

"How long will the guest keep staying? Should I live in the upper room or the middle room?" Seeing that he was very imposing, the waiter quickly bowed forward and smiled.

"Live for twenty days first. I don't want to have a room or a room in the middle. I'll give me a bed."

"Tongpu." The waiter's teeth immediately grinned, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he said lazily: "Tongpu twenty-month night, you can lead the way to me!"

Li Weizheng handed Lu Yin to him. The waiter looked at Lu Yin casually while walking. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he quietly looked back at Li Weizheng. A trace of unconcealable surprise flashed in his eyes.

The news that Yan Shi appeared in Hanyang was like a strong undercurrent, mud and sand rising, mud and sand mud mud muddy.
