In the depths of Hou Tao Mountain, a small number of soldiers patrolled with torches, the bright moon was obscured by clouds, and most of the warehouses were swallowed up by darkness, only the most central warehouse, the door was open, and the giant candles were reflected out, and the guards in iron armor at the door were also clearly illuminated.

Although people kept coming in and out, they were quick and organized, and they landed very lightly without making a sound, just in case, Qian Yuan gathered his mother, wife and other family members.

The Tan family and the Huang family sat behind blankly, Qingwen and the other maids were serving, only Xiao Qi sat beside Qian Yuan, curiously looking at her husband who was completely different from usual.

Qian Yuan's prestige in the southeast, his weight in the southeast, and his status in the southeast no longer need to be praised with those flowery rhetoric, just look at the Qian Gong Ancestral Hall built in various places.

But in Xiao Qi's mind, her husband is a man who likes to joke, is very considerate, and has a sense of justice, and has never seen the awe-inspiring and murderous side now.

One of the guards hurried over and whispered, "There are reports in three places, see the lanterns on the ship." ”

"How far is it?"

"About seven or eight miles."

Qian Yuan chuckled, his laughter mixed with Sensen's coldness, "A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, it's a pity that Qian Mou...... I'm really not a gentleman. ”

"It's been a long time, a long time, a long time......"

"Command them everywhere, do according to the plan, and do not act rashly, and let them in."

Wang Yi was presiding over the overall situation outside, and the guards led by Liang Sheng and Peng Feng bent down and handed over their hands, and Zhao Zhenji on the side was in a state of confusion, wanting to ask something...... But I found that I didn't know anything, and I didn't even know what to ask.

It has been a month since he came to Ningbo Mansion, and this is the first time Zhao Zhenji has come to Hou Taoshan, but he did not come on his own initiative...... Three hours ago, Zhao Zhenji, who was hanging out in the new city with Master Huang, was stuffed into a carriage and brought straight here.

Until a quarter of an hour ago, Zhao Zhenji, who saw Qian Yuan, knew that his life was worry-free, but he also keenly noticed that it seemed that something was going to happen tonight......

In the month that he deliberately hid, Zhao Zhenji's behavior did not escape Qian Yuan's sight.

This is Zhao Zhenji, who can be called a famous minister in history?

"Does the Duke of Dazhou know who is attacking tonight?" Qian Yuan cast a disdainful gaze without any scruples, "There are always those people...... Since he has bravery, he feels that he can command thousands of troops and horses, and he thinks that he is a capable minister of the world if he has excellent knowledge. ”

Peng Feng looked sideways? Zhao Zhenji's face turned dark...... These two sentences are a bit poisonous.

"You Zhao Mengjing are also famous, and they are all over the country...... was toyed with by a group of townsmen. ”

"Anything else? Just about vision? There are many points to win the Huating. ”

The young master is really enjoying it today...... Liang Sheng smiled strangely, and leaned closer and said, "Young Master, let's say a few words." ”

"Huh?"

"I was stunned last time...... Liang Sheng squeezed his eyebrows and said.

Qian Yuan cast a praising look and nodded: "I was kidnapped because I was afraid that he would be killed with a knife...... If you are? There are really few people watching the battle. ”

Zhao Zhenji stared at Qian Yuan deadly? When they met again a few months later, the anger in his heart never dissipated, but he couldn't understand why he had never provoked this time. The other party has such an attitude.

Qian Yuan didn't care about this waste anymore, got up and shouted, "Come on!" ”

Ke Qing and the attackers, who had been preparing on the side for a long time, stepped forward with armor in their hands? Qian Yuan casually ripped off the robe on his body and put on his armor on the spot.

Wearing a phoenix-winged helmet and wearing bright light armor? The shoulder armor is protected by a eyelid, the heart guard is slightly to the left to protect the heart, and the armor polished to a silver-white color is reflected by the giant candle with a dazzling light.

Qian Yuan smiled and beckoned, Xiao Qi took the Miao knife and touched a few handfuls on Qian Yuan's body curiously.

Listening carefully, before there was a sound, Qian Yuan smiled and pulled out the Miao knife: "In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, the war in the southeast was about to break out, and the wolf soldiers led by Mrs. Wa met outside Wujiang County, and Zhong Nan gave me a Miao knife...... Under this Miao knife, there are already forty-three widowed souls. ”

Hanging the Miao knife on his waist, Qian Yuan strode out of the warehouse, Liang Sheng and Peng Feng led the guards to follow, and several people followed Zhao Zhenji behind.

"Young master, it's close to the dock." Wang Yi, who was holding a longbow, said in a low voice: "Everything has been prepared. ”

Before Qian Yuan could speak, his eyes suddenly froze, and there was a faint fire rising in the sky in the distance, followed by the sound of a whistle that briefly pierced the sky.

"Burn, burn." Qian Yuan sneered: "It's good to burn it clean...... Qian wanted to let the southeast know that even if he was personally in danger and suffered heavy losses, he would not allow merchant ships to go to sea without permission! ”

"Whoever wants to go to sea to sell goods, without money, will only end up today!"

It took more than half a year before and after, and Qian Yuan's most active purpose was to cut off the smuggling line...... Even if it is cut off in a short period of time, it is necessary.

Smuggling, in any country in the future, is explicitly prohibited but it does exist, no matter how hard it is cracked down, smuggling will not completely disappear.

But turning a blind eye and hunting down smuggling maritime merchants is different.

If smuggling spreads all over the southeast, then what is the point of Qian Yuan setting up a market in Hou Taoshan for trade?

If they turn a blind eye, those big southeastern households will definitely follow suit.

If you can kill a batch and let the southeast know its determination, on the premise that you only need to pay one percent of the value of the goods to go to sea in taxes, there will be many maritime merchants who weigh the pros and cons.

After all, there is not much money paid in taxes, and once smuggling is discovered...... Qian Yuan will let them see what the lesson of the past is!

It is impossible for Qian Yuan to stay in Zhenhai for a long time, and it is impossible for there to be only one treaty port in Zhenhai in the southeast, so it is very important to establish rules.

Such a large-scale hunt and killing of smuggling maritime merchants will inevitably be counterattacked, and it will even be reminiscent of Zhu Kun, who made the maritime merchants in the southeast look different in the past, so Qian Yuan needs an excuse, an excuse that people can't refute.

These eight maritime merchants are excuses.

In fact, Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei, Yang Wen and others were stationed in Ningbo one after another, and Qian Yuan had the opportunity to cut them off one by one, but he kept these eight maritime merchants.

Tang Shunzhi refused to allow maritime merchants to go to sea to sell goods, forced these eight maritime merchants to take risks of smuggling, and used Tan Qizhi and Yang Wen to kill people and oversell goods, pointing out their own grudges with the other party, and forcing the other party to take risks.

Step-by-step plan, except for Qi Jiguang's sudden transfer and Zhao Zhenji's sudden inspection, Qian Yuan's plan was flawless.

Now, it's harvest time.

The fire is getting louder and louder, the noise is getting louder and louder, on the way from the dock to here, all the warehouses are ignited, Zhao Zhenji, who was forced to walk out of the warehouse, looked sideways, Qian Yuan not far away was holding the handle of the knife casually, and there was a leisurely and elegant bending down to pick up the little black cat that came out of nowhere.

The more than 100 guards around are all elite, and they are all veterans of the war, calm and sophisticated, the front guards are holding wolf teeth and shields, and the guards in the back are holding knives and guns, and they are holding their breath and concentrating in the ranks, except for the uncomfortable meow of Xiao Hei being stroked, almost no movement can be heard.

At ordinary times, the guards laughed and laughed, and at the critical moment, the order was forbidden, and the entire escort team turned into a fierce beast that bowed down and gathered strength, showed its sharp teeth, and was about to pounce on it.

Zhao Zhenji thinks that he has also experienced a big scene, and in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, he also ventured out of the city and entered the army, but at this moment he couldn't help but be killed.

It was very smooth, very, very smooth, Wu Zhi, who was holding a sword and shield, shouted loudly, and asked his subordinates to set fire everywhere they could see, barrels of oil were poured on the warehouses on both sides, and a torch was thrown up, and the flames were monstrous.

From the dock along the stone road all the way in, almost unobstructed, Wu Zhi, who had a hideous face, quickened his pace, and the news sent by the dark line was that Qian Yuan was in the warehouse four or five miles away from this stone road.

Speaking of which, there are so many projects up and down Hou Tao Mountain, but this stone road is the first to start and be completed...... Zhou Fu urged his subordinates to speed up, while thinking to himself, this is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!

Bypass the bend in front of you and you'll get there...... Zhou Feng, who came to Hou Taoshan many times last year, held a knife in his right hand and a torch in his left hand, and was the first to rush out.

"Whoosh!"

It seemed to be inaudible, but it seemed to be like a heavy hammer beating a drum The sound sounded in Zhou Fu's ears, he threw away the torch in his hand for the first time, shrank up, and looked sideways, his younger brother Zhou Feng had already fallen out of the bone, and his chest was pierced by a sharp arrow.

The bandits behind did not stop, and swarmed to push the sweaty Zhou forward until they saw the solemn battle formation not far away, and saw the cold light flashing on the head of the wolf's tooth and spear.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Two more arrows rang out, and Zhou Fu was so desperate that he saw two red dots suddenly appear on the left and right, and two huge fires were ignited by rockets, quickly illuminating everything in this valley clearly.

If the death of his younger brother Zhou Feng was killed by an arrow before or may be the counterattack of the Qian family's guards, then these two fires can only prove that the other party has already opened the net and is just waiting for you to enter the urn.
