Chapter 68 Taihu Water Bandits

Yaojiayan, dangerous place in the embankment.

Under Pan Jixun's guidance, the villagers finally blocked the gap after half a day.

But the good show is still coming.

I saw beams with several baskets of stones lying quietly on the embankment after being more than two meters long.

Hundreds of naked men looked at Pan Zhongcheng in unison and waited for his order.

Pan Jixun only stared at the changes in the water flow. When a fierce river tide passed, Fang immediately made a decision: "From here!"

The men then raised the beams of the house and slowly sent the tips of the bamboo baskets against the embankment.

The surging tide swept the beams downstream, and even the baskets of stones could not be suppressed.

But there are still cables as thick as arms on the beams and pillars!

More than a dozen strong men clutched the cable tightly, their muscles were tangled, and they tightly bound the beam of the house that was about to escape.

Finally, the beam of the room was inserted into the bottom of the water.

"Hit!" Pan Jixun shouted loudly again.

The civilians immediately carried the ramming stones forward, shouting horns and hitting the wooden beams into the bottom of the river until they could no longer hit the ground.

"Press the next four groups!" Seeing that the five groups of stones were fixed, Pan Jixun immediately issued an order.

The men followed the rules and followed the positions instructed by Pan Jixun and then went down to four wooden beams.

Then, pairs of pairs of stone baskets tied together and fell into the water through the wooden beams.

Let the five groups of wooden beams be filled like candied haws. Based on these five groups, go down to four groups.

In this way, they piled up layer by layer, and sent all twenty wooden beams and hundreds of baskets of bricks and stones, and finally tied them up firmly with cables.

A huge triangular prism bulged on the surface of the embankment.

Strangely, when the three prism appeared, it concentrated on impacting the water potential at the gap, significantly weakening a lot...

The men cheered happily.

Zhao Shouzheng, Bai Zhuzhu and Gu Dadong hurriedly presented the rainbow fart to Pan Zhongcheng.

Pan Jixun was not moved at all, obviously everything was under control.

"Go to Sanjiangkou to have a look..." As he said that, he turned around and went down to the river embankment.

~~

Wuxi, Huajia Zhuying Pavilion.

Zhao Hao didn't know that Pan Jixun had arrived in Kunshan and was still anxious there.

After only a meal, he agreed with Hua Bozhen. The Hua family exchanged 300,000 shares of Jiangnan Company's stock for 300,000 shares of the price of 150,000 taels of silver and 80,000 stones of grain.

Like the two Wang families, Hua Bozhen did not ask Zhao Hao, what is the Jiangnan company doing, and is it a question of making money?

For the Hua family, who had piled up tens of millions of taels of silver at home and was unwilling to buy land for another purchase, this was really a very simple decision.

Is there anyone in this world who is more profitable than Mr. Zhao?

there is none left.

How could he lose if he invested hundreds of thousands of taels on him?

What's more, even if you lose money, so what? Sprinkle water...

After signing and sealing, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the rain was slightly less, so Hua Bozhen invited Zhao Hao to attend his family's meeting hall.

It will take tomorrow to leave, so Zhao Hao agreed happily. He had long heard that the copper movable type printing in the Hua family's private bookstore "Huitongguan" was the best in the world. Not only was the engraving exquisite, but the speed of publication was beyond the reach of ordinary carvings.

He also acquired a bookstore in Nanjing, but the speed of the one-page carving page was so slow that it seriously dragged down the pace of Mr. Zhao's publishing books. Of course, he could not find it if he had the opportunity to learn from the industry's bigwigs.

Unexpectedly, before he walked out of Zhuying Pavilion, Gao Wu pointed to the end of the corridor.

When Zhao Hao saw that it was Ma Xianglan standing there.

He couldn't help but feel nervous. Secretary Ma was very wise and came to find himself rashly, and there must be an emergency.

'It can't be that my father was really washed away, right?' Mr. Zhao felt a little dry and quickly said to Hua Bozhen and walked quickly towards Ma Xianglan.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Zhao's voice trembled a little.

"Not the master." Sure enough, the person who understands Mr. Zhao the best in the world is Secretary Ma.

"That's good." Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as his father was fine.

"Miss Jiang's accident..." Ma Xianglan said again.

"Uh..." Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard this. "What happened to her?"

"Wu Ji's ship that transported our grain was robbed." Ma Xianglan said again.

"What?" Zhao Hao opened his mouth wide in surprise. "Has he been robbed? Who dares to rob Wu Ji's ship?"

What does Wu Ji do? That is a big businessman who runs money shops and shipping. He is rich and has some people, and he has a background in his official position. How dare ordinary bandits provoke?

"I heard it was a group of Taihu water bandits." Ma Xianglanhui reported: "They detained people and ships, and only asked one of the managers to come back and ask for ransom."

"Ms. Jiang is also on the boat?" Zhao Hao asked with a frown.

"Yes." Ma Xianglan nodded, with a pretty face full of worry, "The incident happened yesterday, and a day has passed. Miss Jiang, she won't...is there something wrong, right?"

"It's definitely nothing." Zhao Hao comforted Ma Xianglan, who was so beautiful, and said:

"Where is Taihu Lake? The water bandits who can hang out in Taihu Lake will not be confused about the depth. Wu Ji is a big business that can be counted in Jiangnan. If you do too much, it will attract them to revenge wildly!"

"That's good, that's good..." Secretary Ma was full of self-blame. She felt that if it weren't for her instigation, Jiang Xueying would not have come to Zhao Hao on his own initiative. Naturally, she would not have suffered such ulterior motives.

"Hurry and inform everyone to set out." Zhao Hao ordered in a deep voice, then turned around to explain the situation to Hua Bozhen.

Wuxi is close to Taihu Lake, and with the power of the Hua family, he must know the situation in the lake better than him.

After listening to Zhao Hao’s words, Hua Bozhen also showed an incredible expression and said, “Can’t it be possible? Do they dare to move Wu Ji?”

Zhao Hao felt a little moved when he heard this, and Brother Hua really knew the inside story.

He bowed deeply and said, "It doesn't matter how many ships of food are, but I have me on the ship... it's really worrying. I would like to ask Brother Hua to give me some advice."

"Don't worry, brother, I'll send someone to inquire now." Hua Bozhen asked someone to call the old butler Hua An and ordered in a deep voice:

"Hurry and take someone to inquire and see which one is fucked by the ignorant way!"

As he said that, he raised his eyebrows and showed his domineering attitude: "No matter which turtle is stretching out his hand, please send him the message and release him immediately, otherwise he would be an enemy of my Hua family!"

"Yes." The old housekeeper hurriedly took the order and left.

"You should also send someone to send a letter back quickly." Zhao Hao also whispered to Gao Wu: "Please prepare Brother Jin and be on standby at any time."

Gao Gong nodded and took the order and left.

Then Hua Bozhen whispered to Zhao Hao: "Don't worry, brother, it's not the past few years. Although Taihu Lake is still the same Taihu Lake, there are gunmen teams in each county. In order to control the Japanese and generals, those water bandits who do not understand the rules have been wiped out. The rest are obedient..."

After a pause, he said a little, "I just don't listen to the whole family."
