Someone is not honest, what should I do?

Banging, of course!

Leizhou and Liuqiu are separated from the sea area not close, and the army wants to attack Liuqiu, which will cost the people and money, and whether they can win depends on the will of heaven and the weather.

Zhao Dongting had no intention of making a big splash.

Only now is peace with the Yuan Dynasty, and Dali is eyeing it in the west. There are no benefits to go and ask for it, not to mention, there are a lot of disadvantages, and it is a full loss-making transaction.

But he can't let a small person like Cai Jianjiu continue to control Liuqiu. After all, forty percent of Leizhou's maritime trade came from streams.

Without the flow of trade, Leizhou will not be able to continue to maintain a trend of rapid economic development.

As a result, Zhao Dongting, who was already idle in the palace and wanted to seek an opportunity to break through to the Shangyuan Realm, naturally had the idea of a trip to Liuqiu.

A group of five people are all dressed as rangers.

The ship is a rented black ship. It is a vessel that does not ask for trade documents with the stream, and only dares to secretly do some smuggling and other transactions.

In addition to a few sailors who seemed to be quite honest at the helm and raised the sails, there were also six charlatans who looked quite evil.

As for the passengers, there are only five people in Zhao Dongting, and there are two small families, all of which are families of four, and they all have good little ladies in the family.

The leader of the Jianghu men is a big man in gray, Pu Dao does not leave his body, his face is like a martial arts scar, very hideous, just gave the order to open the boat and spit angrily into the sea, "His grandmother's, now business is really getting more and more difficult to do!" ”

No wonder he has a grudge.

begging for a ban on the port, so that those of them who are begging for a living in the gray industry will really have to lose too much less income.

This time, if it weren't for Zhao Dongting's generous move, they wouldn't have sailed to Liuqiu at all. The sum of the money from those two small families is not enough for a fraction of Zhao Dongting's expenses.

The anchor was pulled up, the sails were hoisted, the oars were rowed, and gradually the surface of the sea was made.

Zhao Dongting paid a lot of money, and he was the big money owner on the ship, and he also enjoyed different treatment for the five people. Not only can you live in the cabin, but you can also eat fresh vegetables brought from the land with the thugs and sailors on this ship, which is what you said when you get on board. And the two small families can only stay in the dark warehouse to live, gnawing on dry and hard dry food. The thugs on board provided them with only a little fresh water.

Zhao Dongting and these two families who could be seen at a glance were from ordinary people's families, and there was no communication.

On board, they rest in the cabin and in the cargo hold. When the door of the cargo hold is covered, there are two worlds very different.

Zhao Dongting naturally had the ability to let the people of these two small families get the treatment of resting in the cabin, but thinking about it, he still didn't do it.

Who knows what the temperament of these two families is?

What if they were to live in the cabins of a ship, but they would not be satisfied, and would ask for more?

Dou Mien, Shengmi hatred.

Zhao Dongting has seen too much, so he gradually lacks the momentum to help when he encounters a poor person.

The sea is vast, and except for the sunrise and sunset, when you can feel the passage of time, the rest of the time it is as if the whole world is still.

The thugs and sailors on the ship are also distinct. The status of a sailor is far inferior to that of a thug.

Most of the time, the two gangs were idle, so they gathered to gamble with dice. The thugs had to gamble bigger, and they could see some broken silver, while the sailors only saw copper coins in their gambling circles.

Zhao Dongting didn't have any fights, and he was willing to lose some small money, so he became familiar with both thugs and sailors in just a few days. At least superficially cooked.

As for the two small families, apart from the daily release time of the cargo hold, there is no chance of the gloomy cargo hold.

Among the two families, only one of them had a little guy with a yellow face and thin muscles who received special treatment from Zhao Dongting. Two days ago, Zhao Dongting would open the cargo compartment grid and hand over two plates of fresh vegetables. Later, he became acquainted with the thugs and sailors on the ship, and the sailors who cooked didn't care about preparing some portions for the little ones when cooking.

The money that Zhao Dongting loses to them every day is enough for them to sell Zhao Dongting's face.

Slowly, Zhao Dongting knocked on the side, and also learned the details of the ship, as well as some information about the forces behind the ship.

The ship is the ship of the Sea Dragons.

The Sea Dragon Gang has risen in Leizhou in the past two years, and the gang leader Yu Quandong was also a well-known man in Leizhou before, and he was close to the cultivation of Shangyuan Realm.

In his early years, Yu Quandong was in the dart business in Haikang, and accumulated a lot of prestige by his fists, and later saw that the imperial court encouraged the seafaring trade, so he plunged headlong into the sea. Those who take the black boat do not have to pay taxes, and the profits are large, Yu Quandong quickly made a fortune with this, and established the Sea Dragon Gang based on those dart masters in the previous dart game, and then became famous, attracting many notorious rangers or idle gangsters in the people.

Nowadays, there are dozens of gangs of all sizes doing black boat business in Leizhou, and the Sea Dragon Gang is the most powerful one among them.

Originally, a gang like the Sea Dragon Gang should be targeted by the government, but Yu Quandong has a chivalrous reputation in Leizhou, and he is very good at grasping the scale. After those notorious dogs and horses were accepted into the Sea Dragon Gang, they had something to eat, and they could go to the Qinglou in the city to find fun to relieve their loneliness in their spare time, and they were pressed by Yu Quandong, so they gradually became more honest.

Seeing that the Hailong Gang didn't make any trouble and saved a lot of trouble for the government, the Haikang Mansion turned a blind eye.

After Zhao Dongting returned to Haikang, Leizhou Zhizhou Xiyi reported the matter to Zhao Dongting and asked if he wanted to rectify these gangs.

Zhao Dongting's reply was only four words, "It's better to be blocked than to be sparse." ”

If there is a positive side to this world, there must be a negative side. No matter how powerful the court is, if this wave of gangs is destroyed, the next wave of gangs will definitely spring up.

Zhao Dongting's idea is that as long as they grasp the scale well and don't make any big trouble, they can gather those notorious rangers and idle gangsters on the rivers and lakes. If there is really any big mess, it will not be too late to kill chickens and monkeys when the time comes.

Even the top Jianghu forces in Leizhou like Xiulinburg can't stop the imperial court soldiers, and these gangs of small fish and shrimp can stop it?

The ship was fluttering and rocking on the sea for more than ten days.

At this time, the fresh vegetables were naturally gone, and even the thugs on the boat, Zhao Dongting and others could only eat jerky. Fortunately, I had wine, so I didn't find it very difficult to swallow.

There was a rather solemn aura that suddenly spread among the thugs and sailors, and it was not obvious, but if you noticed it closely, you could still find the clues. There is a depressing feeling that the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

In the past few days, Scarface, who was called "Old Wu Tou", rarely went to the bow deck to watch, but in the past two days, he would go to see it every few tens of minutes.

"Old Wutou, how did I find that you seem to be a little nervous in the past two days?"

Waiting for Lao Wu to walk back to the big cabin from the deck with a Pu knife, Zhao Dongting asked with a smile.

Old Wu Tou pulled out a smile at Zhao Dongting, but he looked even more hideous, "Zhao Gongzi, this is already in the waters of the Dongsha Islands, and there are many pirates, so it's not okay not to be vigilant." Although the name of our Sea Dragon Gang is quite good at sea, but recently, the merchants have not been allowed to trade with our Great Song Dynasty, and the pirates have not been able to trade, so it is difficult to say whether they will sell the face of our Sea Dragon Gang again. ”

He said something that was realistic but heartfelt, "If it weren't for Zhao Gongzi's generosity, we really wouldn't have risked this errand." ”

"You old man."

Zhao Dongting scolded with a smile: "His mother is cheap and good, my son has lost you a lot more money than the boat fare these days." ”

Old Wu Tou was not angry with the gold owner, hehe smiled and rubbed his calloused hands, "Childe is polite, Childe is polite." ”

The rest of the thugs laughed as well.

"Brother Wu! Anglao! ”

At this moment, the panicked shouts of sailors suddenly sounded on the outer deck of the ship.

Old Wu's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly turned a little red, and the centipede scars on his face seemed to come to life at this moment, and he hurriedly ran towards the outside of the deck.

The thugs didn't care about continuing to gamble, so they hurriedly received the broken silver in front of them into their arms, and hurriedly jumped out.

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly, and after looking at Hong Wutian and the others, he just nodded slightly.

There are some things, naturally there is no need to tell Hong Wutian and their old rivers and lakes. They all knew that they had walked more bridges than Zhao Dongting had walked.

Old Wu Tou quickly ran into the cabin again, his face was ugly, "Zhao Gongzi, there are pirates coming towards us, or ...... Did you hide in the cargo hold? ”

Zhao Dongting was puzzled, "If they want to search the ship, it is useful to hide in the cargo hold?" ”

Old Wu Tou was a little embarrassed, "Zhao Gongzi, you are dressed in brocade and jade, and if you are seen by pirates, you are afraid that you will be treated as a fat sheep." The cargo hold is dark, and they don't look so closely. ”

"Alright then!"

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, then nodded.

Kumano reached out and opened the lattice that led to the lower cargo hold, and the five of them climbed up the wooden ladder to the cargo hold.
