In the early morning, a fleet of dozens of salt boats, with the guidance of the leader of the Cao Gang, familiarly found the edge of the Qingjiangpu Wharf near the city gate and anchored.

In this regard, the Cao Ding and the dock patrol who guarded the city did not feel strange, it must be that the owner of the ship was still discussing the price with the Cao Gang, if there was no nod from the Cao Gang, such a good position would naturally not be able to be given to others for nothing.

There are always rules on this dock. And the Cao Gang is the maker of these rules, and for the dock tax collectors, they mostly turn a blind eye to all this, after all, they can also get a lot of benefits from it.

As soon as the boat came to a halt, the men on the boat put on a look of unloading, released the gangplank, and began to push sacks full of salt onto the shore in cart after cart.

The inspectors, who had not noticed them, began to unload their goods before they had paid the money.

It's worth it.

"What are you doing, what are you doing?"

Sun Fuli, the patrolman who was blackmailing the merchants of various ships at the wharf, saw this situation and immediately led more than a dozen patrolmen over, and the rules on the wharf were to pay the silver first and then unload the goods. How can you allow others to break the rules?

"Don't you know the rules? Qingjiangpu Wharf, when will it become a place to unload and unload......"

Although he has already seen that these ships are salt ships, logically speaking, these salt ships do not need to pay money, but the tea money always has to be paid, Sun Fuli still said unceremoniously.

"Oh, this big man, when he came, the big shopkeeper of our family really didn't say it, he really didn't say it! This didn't just negotiate a good price with the Cao Gang, so I directly ordered the goods here, no, these salts are going to be transported to the city! You are always accommodating......"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaowu, who was dressed as a steward, immediately took An Fengquan and Li Chaotai, who were dressed as long-dressers, and hurriedly greeted them. While bowing to the patrol, while taking advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, he directly stuffed a piece of silver into this person's hand, all of which looked like he knew the rules.

Sun Fuli, who has received a lot of silver on this dock all the year round, doesn't even need to take his hands to carry it, just need to estimate his size. Then he knew that the silver was only ten taels at most.

This is called Hanako!

Sun Fuli immediately became furious, raised his hand, and slapped Zhang Xiaowu is face fiercely, seeing that he was dodging, he was angry and immediately shouted at the dock patrols behind him.

"Go to the damn accommodation, come here, detain the boat for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu suspects that these boats are hiding...... A spy hiding pirates! Withhold people and everything......"

This crime is deducted big, this is simply a knot that wants to kill people, such a crime is deducted from the head, even if it is not dead, people will also shed a layer of skin.

As soon as he said this, the dock patrolman over there would be polite.

"Yes!"

The patrolman listened to the order, and was about to rush to the boat with black and red sticks and chains that locked people.

Where was Zhang Xiaowu willing to let him, he was almost slapped with a big mouth, and then grabbed Sun Fuli's arm, and fell over the shoulder, and directly threw him to the ground. Then he slammed on the man's back with one foot and struck him down with the snatched waist knife.

"This master is your grandson's not long eyes! Even our historian's fleet dared to search it. Lao Tzu sees that you are tired and crooked, and this master will fulfill your grandson......"

At this time, Zhang Xiaowu still had the slightest politeness of a businessman, and his face was full of vicious looks.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, don't fight, he's a patrolling ......"

Those dock patrolmen used to bully people in the past, when have they ever seen such a battle? No, it's not that I haven't seen it, if I touch an official ship or a military ship when I don't take care of it, it's also such a treatment, and I will see this person so arrogant, and everyone who was still like a tiger and wolf put away the chains and black and red sticks that beat people one by one, for fear that they would really get into big trouble.

At this point, I really can't tell where this person came from.

"What? Teach this unsightly man a lesson for your eldest master. Is the old man Zuo not there? Get out of here and talk to our steward! ”

Standing in front of Zhang Xiaowu, An Fengquan, who originally looked like a wicked person, looked at those patrolmen viciously and scolded loudly.

Zuo Mingyong, the assistant of the Qinghe tax customs, set up a supervisor in dozens of tax customs across the country after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and was in charge of the collection, inspection, liberation, and sales of taxes at each customs. These overseers are either appointed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs or by the ministries and institutes, or by the salt administration, weaving, etc., or by the local governors, governors, admirals, Taoists, prefects, and Tongzhi. Of course, these overseers naturally do not do this to collect taxes, and they are all entrusted with their own clothed servants or henchmen to act as assistants. And this Zuo Mingyong is the assistant of the Qinghe tax customs, maybe in the master's place, he is a minion. But in this place, everyone calls him "Zuo Ye", who dares to be such a big old man Zuo?

The patrol of these docks was immediately calmed by the momentum of An Fengquan and the others, when did they pass through this battle, although the master of Zuo Ye, Lang Tingzuo, had died in Jiangning, but before Zuo Ye was replaced, he was still the Zuo Ye who said nothing about this tax customs.

And at this time, the other traders and boatmen around understood what had happened, and thought to themselves that this would be a nail. However, in such a matter of a great god fighting, they naturally didn't dare to speak, and they didn't even dare to look at the excitement, all of them were so frightened that they shrank into their respective cabins, and they didn't even dare to make a sound. At most, it's just a look at the excitement from the sidelines.

Not to mention the person next to him, even Sun Fuli, who was trampled on the ground, was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and the patrolman on the side looked at it, and said in his mouth.

"This, this lord, if you don't put out the fire first, the sun is poisonous, you will be cool in the city gate hole......"

It's not that he's willing to give in, but where these people come from, they really don't know. For fear that they will offend people by accident, where do they dare to be as arrogant as they did just now. If they annoy someone, they may be the ones who lose their heads.

Now that he has been soft here, Zhang Xiaojie naturally did not insist any longer.

"Someone finally understands the rules."

As soon as they saw him nodding, they immediately shouted.

"Quick, go get a stool, prepare tea, ......"

When the people walked towards the city gate, Zhang Xiaowu still shouted unrelentingly,

"Grandma, I haven't come out for a long time, and I've come to Qinghe, and I dare to call myself a master even a dog. I think back then, when I went down to Jiangnan with my master, I don't know how many people were killed under an iron rod, and I didn't think I was a man with my tail between my legs, or my master was never so arrogant. What the hell is Zuo Ye, I'm sorry, isn't it just a wrap of clothes! An Lao Er, bring Lao Tzu's iron rod, this master has to teach his Lang family a lesson for the slave......"

Zhang Xiaowu's mouth is a mouthful of words in the flag camp, if it is said that he is mixed on the dock all the year round, what is he best at, I am afraid that he is good at imitating the accent, he just spent a few taels of silver in Nanjing Congren City a fifteen or sixteen-year-old flag man girl, this is only a few days of hard work, and he learned a flag man's Chinese. I didn't expect this time to come in handy.

Originally, he was full of fierce faces, and with the Chinese language of this banner man, he shocked the surrounding patrolmen, these people only thought he was a flag master, and he dared to be atmospheric.

In these years, it is the master who is the official, if it is a banner man, then it must be the master who is the unyielding master, and he is the clothed slave of the banner man, as long as the master is prominent, the clothed slave is the second master, as for the official...... It's a fart again!

is an official, it is a fart, and these patrolmen like them are not even a fart, and Sun Fuli, who was beaten on the side, didn't even dare to come out, knowing that he kicked the iron plate, he would even want to die.

Even the gatekeeper who guarded the city would have been in the mood to watch the excitement, and he didn't even notice when he had the leisure to ask those who had entered the city, but in just a few moments, hundreds of people had entered the city.

But no one will go to see them at all, everyone is looking at these big masters, for fear that one of them will accidentally affect the pond fish, and he will also suffer.

In these days, as an individual, you must always be careful. Who knows what kind of trouble they can get into? These coats are all ruthless characters.

When everyone is with caution. Zhang Xiaowu just sat there with a big grin. He even asked his entourage to pour him a cup of tea. And then it blew up there.

"Look, it's the iron rod of the master. Back then, others used knives, and Lao Tzu used iron rods. These dozens of pounds of iron rods, one stick can be beaten by an iron man! ”

Then he said triumphantly.

"I heard that the surname Lang shocked the pirates' iron army, all of them are a bunch of soft eggs, if Lao Tzu rests there with a stick one by one, how can they still be allowed to run amok."

"That's, who doesn't know that the person in charge was a fierce general under the master, and the surname Lang is not used because he himself is not capable, if the master is in Jiangning, then there are so many things."

In the echo of the people next to them, the gatekeepers all looked at the arm-thick iron bar. Don't say it, that iron rod really doesn't look like ordinary people can resist.

On the contrary, everyone rejoiced in their hearts, because they had not offended this man to death just now, otherwise, how could they have saved their lives if they were hit with this stick. Even if he barely survived, it is estimated that he will have to be crippled.

In a panic, someone said next to him.

"Hurry up and take a look, is Zuo Ye here?"
