Chapter 198: Killing Chickens and Monkeys (Part II)
Seeing that the sun has begun to set, the building outside the building is facing the Qiantang River, which looks even more chic under the sunset.
Whether it is Ma Biao, Yu Jin, Zhang Bin, or Dongfang Ping, their faces are a little drunk.
However, for these "actors" who are used to seeing people with masks, it's really hard to say who is really drunk and who is pretending.
"What are you doing? The outer building of the building was chartered today. ”
Just when Ma Biao was thinking about whether it would be almost the end of today, and asked Dongfang Ping to follow the Oiran outside the building to rest, there was a noise downstairs.
"Bang!"
Before everyone could tell their attendants to go downstairs to confirm what was going on, the door of the private room was kicked open.
"Haha, Mr. Dongfang, Zhou has lived up to his responsibilities and given you a gift for the new official who has just taken office."
Zhou Fu carried a wooden box in each hand, and regardless of the reaction of everyone in the private room, he directly put the box on the table.
"Whew!" The moment Dongfang Ping saw Tuesday Fu, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If he doesn't come back, he'll have to worry about what the situation is today.
"Presumptuous! Who are you who dare to go wild here? ”
Ma Biao's face sank, and he pointed at Zhou Fu and scolded, while the two guards behind him also pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife.
"Captain Zhou, is everything going well?"
For the sake of properness, Dongfang Ping still confirmed it again.
"Fortunately, I was not dishonored! It went even better than expected. ”
Zhou Fu glanced at the few people on the table and found that these legendary sea merchants also had one nose and two eyes, nothing remarkable.
I still want to fight with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I really don't know how thick the sky is!
"Dongfang Langzhong, which play are you playing, why can't I understand Ma?"
No matter how stupid Ma Biao is, he can see that something is wrong, besides, how can he be stupid if he can get mixed up to the point where he is today?
"Ma Biao, this official is still emphasizing just now that I am doing things for the imperial court, as long as everyone abides by the laws of the city shipping department, everything is easy to say, but while you are inviting this official to the banquet today, you are privately arranging for the ship to go to sea, is this when our city shipping division is a paper tiger?"
Dongfang Ping had disappeared from the drunken appearance just now, and stared at Ma Biao with a cold face.
"Huh? Ma Biao, did you arrange a ship to go to sea today? ”
Yu Jin looked at Ma Biao in surprise, and Zhang Bin and Lin Tiansen's reactions were similar.
According to their understanding, they had to wait until today's matter was negotiated before they started to go to sea, but they didn't expect it......
But how did Dongfang Ping know?
"Dongfang Langzhong, I'm not scared, what's the matter, you are stubborn to get along with me today?"
"Ma Biao, I think these two boxes, you can take a look at them first, maybe there will be surprises."
Zhou Fu came over with nearly 200 elite people, and he was not afraid of Ma Biao making trouble at all.
To be precise, he came here today to find trouble.
"Huh?" Ma Biao opened the wooden box in the middle of the table, and his face changed in an instant, "Dongfang Langzhong, you ...... What happened to your ship? ”
Yu Jin and the others also changed their faces when they saw the bloody human heads in the box.
Although everyone is mixed at sea and has seen blood, the person in the box is one of Ma Biao's right-hand men, and everyone knows him, but now he is ......
"Haha~ Your boat has sunk to the bottom of the sea to feed Wang Ba, dare to go to sea without permission, and you still want to escape when you meet the city ship sailor, do you really think that the city ship division is making soy sauce?"
Dongfang Ping: "Okay, Captain Zhou, don't talk nonsense with him." ”
"Take him down for me, if there are those who resist, shoot and kill." With Zhou Fu's order, a team of guards behind him immediately drew their swords and rushed towards Ma Biao.
Ma Biao eats both black and white, he is already good, and when he sees the situation in front of him, his first reaction is that he is ready to rush over and arrest Dongfang Ping as a hostage.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Ma Biao made a move, Dongfang Ping took out the crossbow from his arms and unceremoniously pressed the launch mechanism.
At the critical moment, the crossbow sent by the prince really saved his life.
Ma Biao screamed, he didn't expect that he was facing such a situation.
"Shopkeeper Yu, Shopkeeper Zhang, Shopkeeper Lin, the purpose of the establishment of the City Shipping Division, this official has already explained, as long as you act in accordance with the rules in the future, business will naturally be prosperous, otherwise, Ma Biao's today is your tomorrow." Dongfang Ping said coldly.
Yu Jin and the others had not yet reacted from the situation in front of them, and sat there with pale faces.
"Captain Zhou, it's going to be hard for you to raid Ma Biao's house in a while."
Since it is to kill chickens and set an example to monkeys, the more violent the means, the better the effect.
It happened that on the side of the Wa Kingdom, the East China Sea fishery still lacked a large number of such laborers who did not need money, and after the raid, Ma Biao's entire government had to be exiled to the Wa State.
Of course, for some slaves, when they went to the Wa Kingdom, they found that there was meat to eat every day, and they were accompanied by Wa girls when they did a good job, which was even better than the current days.
But that's for later.
At this moment, Lin Tiansen's heart repercussions were the greatest.
No wonder his in-laws wrote to him not to go against the city, at least not to take the lead, this person from His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really ......
Ma Biao is dead!
When raiding the house, Tuesday Fu encountered some resistance.
After all, Ma Biao was once a black-and-white character, and he had raised a lot of thugs under his command, but in front of the professional guards of the Chu Palace, where were these opponents?
It's just that there are a few more lonely souls and wild ghosts on the Meng Po Bridge out of thin air.
There was no need to wait for the next day, Ma Biao's matter spread all over the leading figures in Hangzhou Mansion.
Especially those maritime merchants, they are even more silent.
Obviously, the Ma family's ship had already gone to sea, but it was actually stopped by the people of the city department at sea, and even the ship was sunk.
And the practice of stealing the family and exterminating the clan by the city division did not agree with each other, which also severely deterred these maritime merchants.
If you deal with such people, you have to be more ruthless than them, or they will not obey discipline.
Dongfang Ping firmly remembered Li Kuan's words at the beginning.
Judging from the results, the city department of Hangzhou Prefecture quickly got on the right track.
Regardless of whether these maritime merchants want to or not, if they still want to go to sea, they will obediently follow the rules.
As for changing careers?
After tasting the huge profits of sea trade, how many people are willing to give up?
Of course, there will inevitably be bad consequences, and it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be a bunch of impeachment twists and turns on Li Kuan's table.
However, if there are more lice, he is not afraid of itching, and if Li Kuan is afraid of impeachment, he will not be called Li Kuan.
Besides, Ma Biao will have today's fate, and to some extent, it can be regarded as self-inflicted.
Originally, according to Li Kuan and Dongfeng Ping's plan, they would not do it if they could kill people, as long as the goal was achieved.
But if people want to resist, then it's embarrassing.
Just borrow your head for a purpose.
