Chapter 199 Selling Ships
It's just the beginning of spring, the ice and snow have melted, and even the wind has softened a lot. Jiang Maolei was still very depressed when the boat was sailing. After the boat sailed for two or three days, the depression in his heart was blown away by the sea breeze.

The number of boats going to Lingnan is not as dense as that from Xijing to Jiangnan. They only encountered three or four ships in the past few days, and they were all cargo ships. It seemed that there were very few passenger ships going to Lingnan.

Jiang Maolei and Wang Hu asked about this strange imagination, and Wang Hu grinned meaningfully and said: "It's not like being sent, who is free to go to Lingnan!"

Jiang Maolei was startled, but when he realized he was a little nervous, he asked in a murmur, "Brother Wang, are the conditions in Lingnan really that bad?"

Wang Hu shook his head, "I haven't been there either, how do I know the situation there? I got used to the environment there but disappeared because of man-made disasters. I heard that the people there are cruel and arrogant, unreasonable. Walk over there!"

Jiang Maolei felt resigned after being told so much, he swallowed his saliva, wondering if there is still time to get off the boat?
Just when he was hesitating, the passenger ship had gradually drifted away. The farther it was from the south of the Yangtze River, the deserted the places it went, and there was no decent port in sight, only dense forests and cliffs, no matter how good it was. It will be tiring to watch the scenery for four or five days.

After finally getting the passenger ship to dock, a group of people disembarked but were dumbfounded.

"This is the port?" Gao looked around suspiciously. This place was like a wilderness. If there was not a stone tablet not far away, engraved with the name of the port, they would have turned around and left.

Wang Hu frowned and pondered: "It should be true. The fishermen may have gone out to fish at this point, so the port looks cooler."

The five members of the Jiang family nodded slowly, reluctantly accepting Wang Hu's statement.

Jiang Maolei looked at the passenger ship and asked suspiciously, "Brother Wang, what do you plan to do with this ship?"

It can't just be thrown here like this.

Wang Hu was also a little embarrassed, thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and told the brothers beside him: "Go and find out if there is anyone who wants to buy a boat here, first sell the boat before you can buy a carriage, otherwise the mountain road alone will be difficult." Enough to walk us for months!"

His little brothers didn't delay, and ran away in a hurry. After a long time, they came back out of breath, and said, "Brother, we walked for a long time before we found a village. The price will not be too high, and ships can only be sold to the government, and merchants are not allowed to trade ships privately."

"There is such a rule?" Jiang Kun found it incredible.

Wang Hu had no other reaction, "Each place has its own rules. When you go to the country, do as the Romans do. Just get used to it. If that's the case, let's sell the boat to the government."

The younger brother nodded wildly, "The sixth and the seventh have already gone to the government to find someone, and I believe they will be back soon."

It was almost dark when Wang Hu's brother brought the government officials over, and a group of people went on board the boat to check inside and out, wishing to scrape all the cracks, and finally got off the boat, with a business-like attitude. Tell everyone the results of the inspection and the government's criteria for accepting the ship.

Wang Hu didn't have any dissatisfaction, and readily accepted the price.

The other party was also very satisfied with his knowledge, so he led a group of people into the city.

A group of people walked outside the city gate, looked at the two words on the towering city wall, and read them out at the same time, "Anqu?"

This name is rather strange. I have traveled to so many places, but I have never seen only two words engraved on the city wall. Is it the name of this city?

The group of officials did not intend to reassure them, and led them through layers of military defenses to the county government.

The transaction process went very smoothly. When a group of people came out, the Yachai kindly said to them: "Our Huaiyuan County is next door to Fujian Temple. If you want to enter Fujian Temple, you must be fully prepared."

Said the other party's eyes with deep inquiry.

Wang Hu's heart trembled, and he quickly explained: "We are going to Lingnan. It would be best if we can bypass Fujian Temple, but unfortunately we have to go this way!"

"What are you doing in Lingnan? It's not like you committed a crime!" The Yacha was very puzzled and frowned.

Jiang Maolei hurriedly said, "My lord, we are going to seek refuge with relatives."

"Relatives?" Yacha seemed to have heard a big joke, "Did your relative commit a crime? Before he went to join you, where did you join him! How strange!"

This is almost enough to fool a three-year-old.

Jiang Maolei was in a hurry, "What I said is true. My aunt's family is in Chaozhou. They didn't commit crimes. It's just that there was a severe flood in the south of the Yangtze River before. The houses and fields were washed away by the flood, and they were homeless. , There was another landslide in the southwest, and I went to Chaozhou when I was desperate, and then I got a foothold there before sending us a letter to let us go there. "

The Yacha still didn’t believe it, and said with a sneer, “I’m telling you, everyone who goes to Lingnan has to go through Fujian Guan, and to Fujian Guan, they have to pass through Huaiyuan County. All these people and things have passed through our hands. In the past, there are really no serious people there!"

Seeing that the clerk was obviously angry, Jiang Maolei didn't dare to say anything, so Wang Hu handed over the letter sent by Qiu Jingming, "My lord, what we said is true."

The other party took the letter unhappily, opened it, and his eyes widened as he looked, as if all the bad memories had reappeared. After reading the letter, he sized Jiang Maolei up and down for a long time.

It makes people feel hairy.

"My lord? Are there any questions?" Wang Hu asked nervously.

The yacha came back to his senses, shook his head, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Fujian is not peaceful. If you want to go there, find some experienced local bodyguards to lead the team. I will take you there in a while!"

What's with this change in attitude?

A group of people became more and more flustered as they watched. They wanted to refuse, but they were afraid of offending the other party, so they could only bite the bullet and follow along, constantly comforting themselves in their hearts.

Wang Hu has already exchanged glances with his brothers, making up his mind to take action if something goes wrong.

Trembling all the way to a business firm, Wang Hu and his party knew that Huaiyuan County did not have a formal bodyguard bureau, and all bodyguards could only be registered in the firm. The firm they came to was the largest and most powerful firm in Huaiyuan County, as can be seen from the scale of the building. The owner who came out here has a strong background.

Yacha led them to meet the shopkeeper, and said to the shopkeeper, "Fengguzhai is for those who are going to Chaozhou to seek refuge with relatives."

The shopkeeper frowned at first, but immediately changed his expression when he heard the word Fengguzhai.
