Chapter 442 Deception, Threat, Acquire
Genius remembers it in one second and provides you with wonderful reading.
Today, when chatting, talking about the decline in subscription subscriptions, some colleagues said to the Jazz: "Why are you doing so hard? With so many updates, some readers are reluctant to spend money to read it, so they go to watch the thief. Besides, you have to work, it's better to have two or three chapters a day, be careful of sudden death!"
The jazz was speechless and could only smile bitterly!
Fireworks are in Yangzhou in March, and the location of Yangzhou Prefecture should be at a critical moment. Since its establishment, Yangzhou Prefecture has always been able to lead the way during the prosperous period of economic development.
It was dawn, and the gate of Yangzhou City slowly opened. Several soldiers rubbed their eyes and shouted impatiently outside: "Retreat! Don't block the way!"
Since the opening of China and France in the early Ming Dynasty, salt merchants began to gather here. Most of these salt merchants have close contact with the government, and there are convoys carrying salt in and out every morning.
I can't afford to offend!
A convoy at the city gate had already stopped there. After hearing the shouts, the thin-faced man sitting on the first ox cart smiled and said, "It seems that the master's money has not been used in vain!"
The city gate was finally opened, and several soldiers were about to dodge, but one of them felt something was wrong, so they took a closer look.
"There is a ghost!"
A scream attracted the attention of the people in the convoy.
"What the hell?" The man with thin face said disdainfully: "This is blue sky and sunny, where does the ghost come from? I think our Ming soldiers are not as good as...uh!"
The man with a thin face seemed to be a chicken with a jammed neck, pointed to the outside of the city gate and said tremblingly: "That...what is that?"
Several coachmen arrived in front and said tremblingly: "Isn't this here to catch us?"
Outside the city gate, dozens of rows of cavalry stood quietly at this time. The bodies of these men and horses were wet with dew, and they were obviously rushing all night.
The slewed soldiers looked at each other in a glance. The last small flag stepped forward and said to the cavalry in front of him with trembling fear: "Sir, can you ask if you have any questions?"
"Old Qi!"
Fang Xing said tiredly.
Xin Laoqi's spirit was still strong, and it was impossible to tell that he was the one who was rushing to the night road. He stepped forward and took out the Kanke and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to enter the city and go and notify your prefect."
Xiaoqi took over Kanhe and wanted to say that he could not tell it, and then dragged the scary cavalry, but Xin Laoqi then took out another sign.
"You can't afford to wait for my uncle to delay the big deal!"
"Enter the city!"
After checking and completing the inspection, the group did not dismount and rushed into the city.
Xiaoqi leaned against the wall with his men, praying in his heart that he would never come to get someone.
But when he saw the person sandwiched in the middle, wearing a black cloth cover and tied to a horse's back, his heart immediately became cold.
"The Ma Family Clothing Village next to the government office!"
When the brigade of cavalry appeared beside the government office, the yamen run in panic, shouting, "There is a large army coming..."
Fang Xing sat upright on the horse's back, and the big white horse seemed a little unconscious after a night of trekking.
The cloth shop in front of me had just opened, and the guy was frightened to see so many cavalry surrounding the door.
"Big...Master, do you want to buy cloth?"
Fang Xing frowned and looked at the black counter, and whispered to Fang Wu, then Fang Wu and dozens of cavalry were scattered around.
"It's surrounded, no one is allowed to come out!"
After seeing the encirclement formed, Fang Xing said lightly: "Roar in, control everyone, and search for all the rooms immediately."
"Yes, Master!"
Xin Laoqi dropped out of the horse and bowed, then rushed in with his men.
The guy leaned against the table where the fabric was loaded, shouting with a pale face: "The little one is not a thief, and the little one is not a thief!"
A sergeant went over to look at him and shouted, "Shut up, speak out again and you will be a member of the party!"
The guy looked at the soldiers who rushed in like wolves and tigers, and said sadly in his heart: "Shopkeeper, what have you done?"
In the backyard, the shopkeeper who had just gotten up was frightened by the sergeant who rushed in and they all knelt on the ground.
"Sir, I'm not a big deal!"
The shopkeeper's wife and concubines were all lying on the ground, and the children were trembling and sobbing.
Fang Xing stepped in, and behind him was Mr. Feng.
"Ask him."
Fang Xing felt a little tired and sat on the stone pier in the yard.
Xin Laoqi removed the black cloth hood one by one and asked, "But this person?"
At this time, the sergeants who entered the room to search came out, with empty hands.
"My uncle, no child was found."
"My uncle, there isn't either."
"Brother..."
The shopkeeper knelt on the ground. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look up and shouted injustice: "Sir, there are only three children in the young family! They did not hide them privately."
Fang Xing looked up at the sky and sighed: "It's really cunning! Forget it!"
When Xin Laoqi heard this, he immediately understood. He held Mr. Feng in one hand and poked his finger under his ribs.
"ah……"
This was the second time that Xin Laoqi used his move. Mr. Feng was poked by this finger and trembled all over, as if he was electrocuted.
Fang Xing saw that all the three children were frightened and said, "Lao Qi, take them out for a question and act ruthlessly!"
After Xin Laoqi took Mr. Feng away, Fang Xing said to the shopkeeper with a smile: "Get up, maybe I've misunderstood."
The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stood up and said, "Sir, this small cloth shop has been three generations, and it's really nothing to do!"
Fang Xing took out a few candies from his purse and said with a smile: "If it is a misunderstanding, if you delay your business today, Fang will naturally have compensation here, so be at ease."
The shopkeeper realized the title of the uncle just now. Seeing Fang Xing's expression clear, he boldly took the candy, but he held it in his hand and did not give it to his children.
Fang Xing smiled, not caring about his caution, and talked to him about the Yangzhou Prefecture.
"I heard that those salt merchants are very rich? Their families are made of gold and silver."
The shopkeeper thought about Fang Xing's intentions and said cautiously: "Brother, Hui merchants are willing to spend money, Shanxi merchants are always stingy. They wear old cotton jackets all day long and eat poorly."
Fang Xing exclaimed. In his impression, Shanxi merchants were so rich, how could they always be stingy? And they were stingy with themselves.
"Are those Shanxi merchants willing to spend money on women?"
Fang Xing took out a ring made of 'platinum' and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper naturally had extraordinary insights, but after seeing this ring, he was still very surprised.
“This thing…”
Fang Xing smiled and said, "This thing is called platinum, and it is not easy to mine, so let's take it as compensation today."
"How dare you, the little one?"
The shopkeeper respectfully delivered his finger rings.
"Take it for you!"
Fang Xing strengthened his tone, and the shopkeeper was so scared that he hurriedly apologized.
"Tell me, is Shanxi merchant willing to spend money on women?"
The shopkeeper peeked at Fang Xing, and saw Fang Xing's tired face without anger and his might. After trembling in his heart, he quickly said, "Brother, those Shanxi merchants are willing to buy women, but they are reluctant to spend money on them."
"What about Hui merchants?"
The shopkeeper felt that Fang Xing finally asked the Hui merchant a little strange, because the Hui merchant had already begun to squeeze out the share of the Shanxi merchant and was particularly rich.
"Hui Shang is willing to spend money, enjoy it, and buy women."
Fang Xing smiled slightly: "Where did they buy the woman?"
This question made the shopkeeper Nuonuo dare not speak. After Fang Xing observed his expression, he said lightly: "Brother comes here at the emperor's order. You can think clearly about the consequences of lying!"
