The reason why Cui Geng was angry was not because he was worried about the safety of Xu Jingye's subordinates, but because he was angry that Pei Zikuan was a dignified county commander, but he had a personal vendetta and regarded human life as a mustard.

Just kidding, those people are the seeds of the water army carefully selected by Xu Jingye, even if they are home when they are in the water, what danger can they have?

Sure enough, as soon as Cui Geng's words fell, he saw more than a dozen splashes suddenly rising next to the dragon boat in Tianchang County.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten big men, like carps jumping over the dragon gate, drew a graceful arc and suddenly jumped out of the river!

The water of the Grand Canal is not shallow, and even if these men are taller, they will go straight to the top.

Being able to jump from the water to the dragon boat in one leap is so terrifying!

"Fuck you!"

Before the sailors of Tianchang County could react, the white stripes on Cui Geng's side had already started.

Between the rise and fall of the rabbits, all the sailors of Tianchang County were kicked off the ship.

That's not all, there are still more than a dozen men waiting in the water.

When they saw that any of them wanted to flee, they stopped them and pressed them and poured the river with them.

Fortunately, these men didn't want to make trouble, and their subordinates were quite measured, and when they saw that they couldn't drink anymore, they stopped persecuting.

In the end, the sailors of Tianchang County were mixed up and were allowed to re-board the ship.

After watching this good show, Cui Gengcai said with a smile: "It is not unusual for the people to fight for dragon boats and fight, and it is not unusual to get out human lives. Now the sailors in your county are half dead, and Pei County Ling can understand it! ”

Pei Zikuan snorted coldly and said: "Is Cui County's order too happy, yes, now the dragon boats in our county are not able to participate, but the dragon boats in your Jiangdu County are broken, and there is still no way to participate!" ”

"Who said that?" Cui Geng sighed and groaned, "It's you Pei County Order who is really happy too early." Who told you that we only have one dragon boat in our huge Jiangdu County?? ”

"Even if there are other dragon boats, it's too late."

"Not necessarily!"

Cui Geng explained to Feng Changqing, and he didn't have much effort, so he saw those men dragging a dragon boat out from a colorful shed not far away.

This is not scientific!

Pei Zikuan was dumbfounded, and said, "Who still prepares two dragon boats for dragon boat racing?" Did you anticipate today's events? ”

Cui Geng only gave him two big characters and said, "Guess! ”

Of course, Cui Geng couldn't have expected Pei Zikuan to do such an outrageous thing.

Originally, the two sides were just fighting for will, and there was no deep hatred, as for making human lives?

As for preparing for the replacement of dragon boats in advance, of course, there is no way to talk about it.

But don't forget, these dragon boats belong to Xu Jingye. After Xu Jingye's defeat, he formulated many plans to re-raise the matter, including taking advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race to wipe out all the officials in Yangzhou.

So, in fact, these people have already built eight specially made dragon boats.

Now that Xu Jingye has given up rebelling, of course these dragon boats are useless. They are going to take advantage of the large number of people today to sell the dragon boat that they had built a long time ago.

Even if one is broken, there are still seven more here!

Of course, about the inside story of this matter, Cui Geng can't say anything about being killed, he can only pretend to be profound.

After such a small episode, there are only six dragon boat racing teams left.

The auspicious time has arrived, and all the officials got up together, and under the leadership of Zhang Qian, they came to a giant drum.

Old man Zhang waved his hand and said, "Let's start!" ”

"Yes!"

Knock knock~~

Eight strong men dressed in fiery red clothes picked up three-foot-long drumsticks, tightened three slow three-way and then tightened three-way, a total of nine drum sounds.

There was a man of swift shape, who had already climbed to a tall mast that had already been erected, and on it there was a huge red flag.

When the drum was finished and the gong sounded, the man swung a knife and cut off the red flag on the mast.

"Open!"

The six dragon boats are like arrows off the string, speeding forward.

At the finish line, there is a colored silk block, and whichever team hits the colored silk first will be counted as which team wins.

Seeing that it was less than two miles away from the end point, several ships were still indistinguishable.

The location of the dragon boats in Jiangdu County belongs to the left of the center, with two dragon boats from other counties on the left and three on the right.

At this moment, the captains of several dragon boats glanced at each other and acted according to the plan.

The two boats close to Jiangdu County gradually made do with this side, and at the same time, the other two boats also gradually moved closer to the middle, and only one of the farthest boats continued to rush forward!

Obviously, although they did not use such despicable means as blocking and slashing, they also wanted to interfere with Jiangdu County through collisions.

Most of the people who watched the excitement were from Jiangdu, and when they saw that the dragon boat team in their county was so calculated, they immediately scolded the sky.

"The barbarians of Gaoyou County, why can't they afford to lose?"

"Do you want to be ashamed of cheating openly?"

"Even if you win, this matter is not over, our Jiangdu County is not finished with you!"

"Do you want to fight, let's accompany you! Keep your human heads into dog heads! ”

……

These curses are quite light, as for all kinds of foul language, greeting the whole family and women, and even the eighteen generations of ancestors, they are endless.

In the colorful shed in the stands, Lu Ruolan's pretty face turned red angrily, and she suddenly said: "It's too despicable, it's too shameless, how can they do this?" Isn't it just a dragon boat race, as for resorting to such despicable means? ”

Cui Geng suddenly frowned, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Think about it, if after the dragon boat race, there was a large-scale armed fight between the people of Jiangdu County and other counties, and even a few lives were lost, would I be responsible? ”

"But that's what they started first."

"That's right, so they hit 70 boards, and the official hit 30 boards, and they admitted it. But isn't my upper evaluation also yellow? ”

"Isn't that hurting others and not benefiting oneself?"

Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "It can't be regarded as completely harming others and benefiting themselves, they are demonstrating to the old assassin Shi collectively, reminding him to pay attention to a bowl of water." ”

Lu Ruolan said dissatisfiedly: "Last year, you supervised the casting of the abbot's mirror, and this year you repaired the city wall, which one is not a real achievement?" They don't have much credit, why do they want Zhang Tingshi to have a bowl of water? ”

Cui Geng was actually quite weak about the great skill of supervising the casting of the abbot mirror, waved his hand, and said: "It's useless to say this, people just don't think so, they just want to make you stumble, how can this be reasonable?" ”

Lu Ruolan was anxious and said, "Then what can you do?" Could it be that a good one of the upper evaluations flew like this? ”

Cui Geng shook his head and smiled: "Of course not. Little lady Lu, look, isn't our dragon boat going to win? ”

"Huh?"

Lu Ruolan looked at Cui Geng's fingers, but when she saw the dragon boats in Jiangdu County, before the other two dragon boats came up, they suddenly accelerated abruptly in the impossible! That's right, acceleration!

It's too late, it's too soon.

In the blink of an eye, Jiangdu Dragon Boat left these two boats behind.

Immediately, the two boats didn't care about eating, and turned the bow of the boat sharply, wanting to "stop the waist" again and crash the Jiangdu dragon boat.

But the speed is completely out of reach!

Obviously, the dragon boat in Jiangdu County has been hiding clumsy before.

This speed has suddenly increased by nearly 30%, which is really irretrievable by manpower!

In the eyes of the people of Jiangdu County, a miracle appeared!

The dragon boat representing Jiangdu County rode the dust, broke the colorful silk with an absolute advantage, and became the leader of this dragon boat competition!

The people felt deeply honored and excited, dancing and shouting!

"Good! All right! That's great! That's great! That's it! "--Except for good, he doesn't know how to shout anything else, the humiliation of the penultimate in twenty years, it will be washed away today.

"Haha, happy, today our Jiangdu County can be regarded as raising eyebrows!"

"Thanks to Cui County's order, ah, no, it's Cui Qingtian! Cui Qingtian lives a long life! ”

"Cui County is in charge of Jiangdu, which is the luck of Jiangdu and the luck of the people!"

"Twenty years, twenty years of waiting!"

"Yes, we have been the last for twenty years, and today, we are finally raising our eyebrows!"

"My father told me on his deathbed that on the first day of the dragon boat victory, the family sacrifice was not forgotten! Woo, I'll burn a dragon boat for my dad in a while! ”

"You're sick, where are you going to make a dragon boat and burn it to your father!"

"Aren't there a few broken dragon boats on the river below, you should pack up later and carry it back to burn it to your father!"

……

……

No wonder they are so excited, it's really that the people of Jiangdu County have been waiting for this victory for too long, and this victory is too thrilling!

At this time, Lu Ruolan looked at Cui Geng, and her eyes were already full of little stars, "Erlang, you are really amazing, you can turn the tables in such a bad situation!" ”

Cao Yuechan also asked, "How did you do it?" They are all people, and it is said that even if the level of the dragon boat teams in each county is different, it is impossible to be so bad. ”

By now, Cui Geng no longer hides it, explaining: "The problem is not people, but the dragon boat." The dragon boats in other counties are made of ordinary wood, but our dragon boats are made of a kind of wood called fir wood. ”

Although the origin of Chinese fir is China, this wood has not attracted people's attention before.

The main reason is that there was no shortage of wood in ancient times, and from the perspective of various indicators, fir did not have any outstanding advantages in the same kind of wood. On the contrary, there are many disadvantages.

However, in fact, it is the best material for making dragon boats - while maintaining strength, this wood is much lighter than other woods, which can greatly increase the speed of dragon boats.

Xu Jingye's subordinates thought hard for the purpose of rebellion, compared in many ways, and finally chose fir as the raw material for the dragon boat.

It's just that under all kinds of mistakes, this kind of dragon boat was not used to rebel in the end, but was really used as a dragon boat to win.

Of course, Cui Geng couldn't tell them about Xu Jingye.

He can only deduce that this is the experience left by the ancestors of the descendants of Ganning, and it has been continuously improved for more than ten generations, and it has never been easy to show people.

At this time, Gan Ying and others had abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and the officials of the Jiangdu County Ya hurriedly stepped forward and dressed them in red and hung colors.

Immediately after, the sound of firecrackers and bells and drums rang out in unison, and according to the custom, these men who won the first place walked into the color shed, knelt down in front of Zhang Qian, and accepted the reward of Lord Thorn Shi.

Zhang Qianwen said a few words of encouragement, gave them horses, brocade, wine and meat, and let them boast around the canal under the protection of the guards of the Governor's Mansion, which can be described as extremely beautiful.

Cui Geng said: "Pei County Order, what do you think of my dragon boat team in Jiangdu County?" ”

"Uh......" Pei Zikuan blushed and was speechless.

Cui Geng said again: "In addition, the official told you that the reward of 100,000 yuan is used to reward these strong men, and the official will not ask for anything!" Pei County Order, it turns out that you used to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Is the so-called bird's nest know the ambition of the bird? ”

Pei Zikuan gritted his teeth, spit out a few words, and said, "Okay, Cui County's order is Honghu, and the official is a bird, and the official recognizes it." But ......"

"But what?" Cui Geng sneered.

"I can admit to being a villain, but I always believe that my initial suspicions will not be wrong! Your team of so-called descendants of Gan Ning is weird! Sooner or later, I'll get to the bottom of them and find out! ”

Cui Geng sighed in his heart when he heard this, damn, if Xu Jingye's group of sons and daughters were targeted by Pei Zikuan, this would not be a trivial matter, but it would be very bad.

Do you want to send them all to Fusang like Daxinzhuang did that time?

But now it seems too late.

Since Pei Zikuan is eyeing these people and suddenly disappearing en masse, isn't it three hundred taels of silver here?
