Chapter 442 Ambition
Suining.

A penny stretched out: "Scholar, hurry up."

Miss Fang just woke up when she saw a bamboo pole stretched out, and she didn't know where the strength came from. She stretched out her hands and grabbed it tightly.

The sailor was so strong that he only shouted: "Get up!" Just like Lu Wenlong who picked up the tackle in "Shuo Yue Zhuan", he picked Fang Wei up completely.

"Plop!" With a sound, Miss Fang fell to the deck.

Although the strength was fierce, it didn't feel pain.

A voice of applause came from next to my ear: "Xiao Dao is so strong, he is worthy of being a hero of the Cao Gang."

The vision gradually became clearer, and Fang Weiyi looked up and saw a big circle of heads around his head.The closest one was a sturdy boy of fifteen or sixteen.

The child was holding a bamboo pole in his hand, probably that small knife.

"It's nothing. I have a lot of good guys like me in the water gang. Let's say we are the leader of the water gang. When you stretch out your hand, you can lift three or five men like chickens." Xiaodao threw the bamboo pole in his hand to one of them. The sailor reached out to press Fang Wei's stomach, trying to press out the river water she drank into her stomach.

Ms. Fang was pure and pure, how could she let a stranger touch her body, she screamed, and stretched out her hand to slap the knife's right hand away: "Don't touch me!"

"Coax!" All the sailors on the boat laughed: "Xiaodao, I'm so energetic, I can't die. Besides, scholars are precious, so why would you let you touch them?"

Xiaodao looked annoyed, and snorted: "If you don't touch it, don't touch it, what a big deal, isn't it just studying for a few years?"

Someone else said with a smile: "Brother Xiaodao, you are right. What is so great? Once a scholar is selected as a scholar, he will have fame. It can be seen that the official does not kneel. What are you, don't say that you have met the magistrate. An ordinary team leader, don't you knock your head floppy. If you win the Juren, you will be the master. What is the master? It is the stars in the sky, but the stars in the sky can be touched by your dirty hands? "

Xiaodao was taken aback, his impatient face suddenly came alive, and he stuck out his tongue: "Our leader said that if ordinary people touch the master, their hands will die. Fortunately, you reminded me that Xiaodao was on the water To earn a living, if your hands are rotten and you lose your martial arts skills, you might as well throw yourself into the water and die cleanly."

It can be seen that although Xiaodao is a member of the Cao Gang, he always put on a fierce appearance in the past, but in the end he is just a child.This tongue sticking out revealed a trace of innocence and simplicity.

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Seeing that the knife's strange hand finally did not reach out, Fang Wei felt relieved, and couldn't help coughing loudly again.The cough was unstoppable, it made her face flush and tears came out.

"Let's make room, the young man is completely soaked. If this goes on, he's really going to freeze. It's better to get into the cabin quickly and put on clean clothes." An old man pushed aside the crowd and came over.

"It's the owner." Everyone quickly stepped aside.

"Sir, come with me." The boss took Fang Wei to the cabin, and asked Fang Wei's situation as he walked.He also said that his surname was An, he was a raw silk dealer, and he was collecting raw silk in Huai'an, and was going to traffic it to Fangshan.As for the knife, it was sent by the Cao gang to escort the boat.

The Cao Gang was originally the largest gang on the Grand Canal, but every ship that carried goods on the Grand Canal had to pay them a certain amount of toll, and then they would send someone to escort them.

When the boss surnamed An asked about her life experience, Miss Fang only said that she was a scholar in Suining, and there was only one old father in the family. With the flood, she probably died.Speaking of sadness, Fang Wei couldn't help but shed tears again.

Boss An also sighed with him, then threw her some clean clothes, closed the door and left.

Scholars love face, so naturally they won't undress in front of ordinary people. Boss An also knows this.In this way, Fang Wei did not expose her daughter's identity.

After changing his clothes and drinking another bowl of pipa string shellfish soup made by Boss An, Fang Wei's coughing stopped and his body warmed up.Only then did he think of his father and Fang Yong, and couldn't help crying loudly.

Seeing her crying sadly, the people on the boat couldn't do much to comfort them. They were still in awe of the scholars and just sailed silently.

Fang Wei walked and cried all the way, only to feel his body getting weaker and weaker.

Boss An is also a kind person. Whenever he meets disaster victims along the way, he takes them to the boat one by one and brings them up with hot soup and hot meals.

Within two days, the boat was full of people.In order to make room, Boss An even threw the raw silk he bought into the water. It seems that he came to Huai'an to buy raw silk this time, not only did he get nothing, but he also bought a large sum of money.

Xiaodao was a little dissatisfied: "Boss An, do you do business like this? If you go this way twice, I will get involved." Boss An is a regular customer of the Cao Gang, and he has been on the Grand Canal for the past two years Qu Qu, very much contributed a lot of money to the Cao Gang.And Boss An's firm is directly in charge of Xiao Dao. If Boss An goes bankrupt and loses this customer, the boss will definitely blame Xiao Dao for not being able to do things in the future.

Boss An smiled and said: "Xiaodao, you don't have to worry about the old man. Money and wealth will be gone if they are born or not. If they are gone, they will be gone. Don't worry, my business name will not be destroyed. But when the time comes, I have to ask you I will bear witness."

"Witness, witness what?" Xiaodao was full of doubts.

Boss An replied: "That's right. I threw away all the goods this time to help the disaster victims. According to the rules of Fangshan Manufacturing, as long as the merchants who have purchased commercial insurance, as long as they encounter losses, they can go to them to collect the goods." Compensation. I heard that shopkeeper Sun Jia will come to Huai'an in a few days, and at that time, I will need you to be a witness in front of her, so that I can receive the insurance money from her."

When Fang Wei heard this new story, he became curious and knew that Fangshan weaving was Sun Dan's industry. He immediately forgot the pain in his heart and listened carefully.

"So that's how it is. I also heard that Fangshan has set up some kind of insurance." Xiao Dao slapped his chest loudly: "Don't worry, people in Caobang are the most loyal. I'll help you with this testimony."

Boss An hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Xiaodao for that."

Seeing Miss Fang eavesdropping, Xiaodao was a little unhappy, and couldn't help saying to Boss An: "Boss An, I didn't mean you, save this scholar, I have no objection. But why do you save everyone on the boat? Look, how crowded the boat is now. There is a saying among us on the water that if a person is about to drown to death, that is the Dragon Lord who wants to take him in. If you save one, you have to spend another life to make up for it. If you don't make a loss-making business, in the future, you and I will be unlucky."

Fang Wei was a little angry in his heart, and couldn't help but sneer and said: "It's no use for your Cao Gang to claim to be a hero, but to say such fallacies that you can't save yourself, it doesn't make people feel cold."

Xiao Dao suddenly turned his head and stared at Fang Wei: "Fang Xianggong, don't think you are a scholar and talk nonsense in front of me. If it weren't for me, you would have fed up with bastards long ago. What a shame, I am! Scholar, hehe, scholar , judging by your appearance, I'm afraid you don't have any fame. A scholar or a juren?"

Naturally, Fang Wei was not a scholar, let alone a scholar, but angrily said: "I don't have any fame, why, you want to throw me into the water?"

Boss An tried to persuade him again and again: "Forget it, let's all give in."

Xiaodao raised his head and turned his eyes to the sky: "I think your identity as a scholar is also very suspicious. Do you think I dare not throw you into the water? Scholars, hehe, your lives are precious. One life is worth ten ordinary people More than a dozen people have been rescued on this boat, I will throw you into the water now, the profit and loss will be equal, and the Dragon Lord will not blame our Cao Gang in the future."

Boss An was shocked, "No!"

Fang Wei yelled suddenly: "How dare you!"

Xiaodao was just trying to scare Fang Wei, he sneered a few times, then turned around and ignored Miss Fang again.

At this time, some sailors cheered: "Huai'an is here, Huai'an is here."

Fang Wei hurriedly looked up, but saw a huge and majestic city in front of him.

Fang Wei remembered what Fang Yong said to himself before his death: Find Sun Dan and tell him about Gan Bida and his men blowing up the dam.Ask him to report to the court to seek justice for his father and the people of Suining.

Although she felt that her body was too weak to hold on, she forced herself to lift her spirits, gritted her teeth and said, "Fang Wei, Fang Wei, you can't fall, you absolutely can't fall. If you fall, daddy, uncle Qi Or the people of Suining died in vain."

When the boat docked, Boss An took a bundle and opened it, which was full of yellow copper coins.He ordered people to distribute a string of money to each of the victims.

Everyone was naturally grateful and went off the boat.

Seeing the money, Fang Wei cried out inwardly.She also brought some gold and silver with her when she fled, but as soon as she fell into the water, the package was washed away by the waves.Now she is penniless, and she is afraid that she will starve to death within two days.

Thinking of this, she didn't feel like walking towards Shopkeeper An.

Xiao Dao has sharp eyes, and sneered loudly: "What's the matter, scholars, do you want to beg for food like beggars? Yes, yes, you scholars are the proud sons of heaven, how could you reach out and ask for money?"

Fang Wei was originally a delicate and expensive lady magistrate, when had she ever been so angry.Angry in his heart, he didn't go to accept the money from Boss An's hand, turned his head, and strode towards the shore.

"Fang Xianggong, Fang Xianggong." Boss An called loudly from behind.

"Haha!" Then came Xiaodao's unscrupulous laughter: "Fang Xianggong, you will not die of hunger. If I guessed correctly, there should be a porridge shed in the city for disaster relief. If you are shameless, you can go there to eat a meal." One down."

Fang Wei walked faster, with tears streaming down her face: "Daddy, even if my daughter starves to death, she won't eat the food that came here. My daughter won't embarrass you."

After walking for a while, they saw that there were already many disaster victims in the city.

Because he walked in a hurry, Fang Wei couldn't breathe, stopped and supported a horse post on the side of the street with his hands, and his mouth was full of blood.

At this time, a hand suddenly patted her shoulder: "Is this brother a scholar from Suining?"
