After Zhang San led a group of brothers in disguise, they dressed up as peddlers, fishermen, blacksmiths and other people, and went ashore at Xukou together, and then went straight to Hengtong Money Village on Shantang Street by the Changmen Gate of Suzhou. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Shantang Street, also known as Bai Dike, is the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty in Suzhou. When she was first built, she was "a silver horse leading a proud horse, and a flower boat carrying a beautiful woman." The lotus is full of life, and the peach and plum species are still new. It is good to live on the river embankment and stay for a long time. It can be seen that poetry and painting are the distinctive tone of Shantang Street. In the Song Dynasty, there was still "the smoke of the cooking smoke hugging the boats, and the grass edge embankment came step by step" (Fan Chengda's "Bantang") in the Ming Dynasty, and the Shantang Street was more prosperous: "The mountains are close and the wheels are noisy, and the water village is deep and the sails are gathered...... Buy fish and wine, travel like a cloud; Horses and eagles, flying dust covers the sun...... The language of the late village is far away from the smoke of Baidu; The sound of flowers in Xiaoshi shatters the dream of red mansions"; "When it is in its prime, the boiling sky is blowing, the dust is blowing on the ground, the teeth are blowing the birds, the brocade cable is smoking, the silver pond is Wan, and the green trees are fresh and ......"; "Rebuilding the Baigong Embankment Inscription" even said: "Hu businessmen and sea guests, do not block the wind in the morning, and are not afraid of the rain and sunset." 1。 The Ming Dynasty folk song "Dajiu Lianhuan" sang: "There is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, Hangzhou has West Lake, Suzhou has Shantang, two good places, infinitely good scenery......" From the above quotation, we can know how the scenery of Shantang Street was beautiful and the business was prosperous at that time.

The façade of Hengtong Silver on Shantang Street is very large, and you can see it at a glance. Zhang San walked to the counter with a grin, and slapped a silver ticket of one thousand taels on the counter with a "snap", "Give me silver~"

The guy on the counter raised his eyes and looked at Zhang San, and secretly muttered in his heart, "Townsman twist" (countryman), and then lazily pressed the silver ticket with two fingers, and slowly dragged it into his sight, "Yo~" The guy's eyes widened, it was a silver ticket of one thousand taels

The guy immediately put on a smiling face, "Uncle, you later~" The guy immediately checked the number of the silver ticket, the unique anti-counterfeiting mark of the Hengtong silver number, etc., and after some checking, the guy handed over the silver ticket to the hand for a second inspection

After a careful inspection, he shouted loudly to the inside: "The silver ticket is correct, redeem ~~" and handed the silver ticket in, and after a while, twenty silver ingots were taken out of it

Zhang San's mouth opened and smiled, opened the chest of his clothes, and poured all the silver into his arms. 8。

"I'll also redeem ~~"

"Redeem ~ I want to redeem it too ~~" Seeing that Zhang San had redeemed the silver, Zhang San's subordinates took out the silver tickets and stuffed them on the counter

"Slow down~Slow down~" The guy at the counter was busy all of a sudden

When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately went inside and notified the shopkeeper. 4。 The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and asked, "How much did you redeem in total?" ”

When he looked outside, he replied, "There are already more than nine thousand taels." ”

"Nine thousand taels~" The shopkeeper still squinted, "We can still get this silver~~ We can't ruin our reputation for just nine thousand taels, and make people think that we have no silver in Hengtong Yin, in that case, more people will come to exchange silver." ”

"Little one knows!" When the hand hurried out

In less than a stick of incense, Dang hurriedly rushed in from the outside, "Shopkeeper, I don't think it's right today~~ Those who came to exchange silver seem to know each other." 1。 ”

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was also alert, "How much silver have you redeemed?" ”

"20,000 taels~" wiped the sweat from his sideburns

"20,000 taels?" The shopkeeper began to realize the seriousness, "Tell the front, I won't redeem it today~"

"Is that okay? I see that group of thirty-four people came, it's not good! "I was a little worried," and many people in Suzhou who didn't know the truth also came to exchange the silver. ”

The shopkeeper snorted coldly: "Looking for squid fish~ The usual silver is not given to him for nothing." ”

"I don't think those people are good men and women, in case they make a move~" said again

The shopkeeper frowned, "I said why did you have so many things today~~Go quickly~"

"Okay~" When he got to the front counter and shouted: "Everyone, everyone~~ Today's trumpet inventory, whether it's silver, or silver, please be early tomorrow~!" ”

"What?" Outside the counter, Zhang San and his subordinates and the people of Suzhou were in an uproar

Someone in the crowd shouted: "The legend is really true~~ Hengtong Silver is about to fall~"

"What? Hengtong Silver is about to fall? ”

"Hengtong Silver has fallen~"

"The silver number has fallen~~ Everyone hurry up and exchange the silver~~"

"The silver number has fallen~Everyone hurry up and exchange the silver~"

"Redeem the silver~~ Be sure to redeem ~~"

"Yes~~ We must exchange the silver today, otherwise we won't leave~"

Zhang San, who had been prepared, immediately let his subordinates start to coax, so Zhang San's subordinates and the people who did not know the truth rushed to the counter like a tide, they slapped the counter and shouted loudly, and the scene was chaotic

"Yo yo yo yo ~~~ even look at what to screw to make things happen~" Zhang San was holding his hands and watching the excitement on the side, when suddenly a man who was full of breath and smell was full of flavor led a group of young men wearing the same clothes and dresses as him from the direction of Nanhao Street

"What body~~What body~~" The man crossed his hands on his hips, revealing a dagger in the slightly open placket, "Ah, do you know that Ida (here) is my squid field?" ”

Zhang San asked a local person in Suzhou in a low voice, "Who is this person?" Talking so arrogantly? ”

The man replied, "Don't you know?" Ai Ge is the famous squid fish in Suzhou City!"

Zhang San sneered: "It turned out to be a splash of play, what are you here to make a fuss?" ”

As the name suggests, "Gang Hang" is a gang that makes violent activities a profession, similar to the later thug groups. 9。 1。 5。 "Suzhou Mansion Chronicles" cloud: "There are few evils in the market, relying on their fists and bravery, and the sworn friends are knotted, and the name is called 'fighting lines', and words are gathered like goods have lines." According to historical records, the main activities of the bank were in Suzhou at first, and later spread to Songjiang, which became a major social hazard in the Jiangnan area.

Volume 30 of Zhu Guozhen's "Memorabilia of the Emperor and Ming Dynasty" also recorded "Suzhou Fighting". The general content is: In the 38th year of Jiajing, there were thefts in various counties from time to time, and at the order of Weng Dali, the governor of the Heavenly Patrol, all prefectures and counties were arrested and punished, and the people who were attacked in various prefectures were arrested. In October, Weng Dali came to Suzhou with his family to station, "all evil is afraid, first try it with a trick and threaten it, in the alley, I stand up for it, jump out of its cheeks, and withdraw like a bird, no trace." 3。 There are many people who have been offended by the service. Da Li was very frightened, and said: "If the rats dare to do so, they will be killed." The villagers became good fisters and sticks, and they were suitable to accompany them, and Dali conspired with them and said: "What will happen, there must be a leader, can you go out to investigate and fight?" Bian Cheng said: "The skill of a certain horseman, talk about the play, take advantage of the trick on the spot to move people's ears and eyes, and also encounter non-hard hands, a little ambition." Its power is to be a good person, and it would rather avoid the corner. This generation is very mysterious and cooperative, and the adults are soft and soft, and they are naturally subdued, and they cannot be exhausted, nor can they be contested. Da Li wanted to give up, but the patrol wanted to atone for their sins and make meritorious contributions, and they were very anxious to arrest them, and the attack became more and more turbulent and uneasy, so they were in harmony with blood, wiped their foreheads with white scarves, and each held a long knife and a giant axe, and attacked Wu County, Changzhou and Suzhou Guards at night, robbed the prisoners and followed them, and arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate with a noise, and broke the door to enter. 9。 Dali led his wife to escape over the wall and almost lost his life. Subsequently, he set fire to the public office and the edict was issued to verify the golden flags, etc., and reverted to "lead the people to rob the government, and the prefect of the royal road supervised the soldiers to line up bravely to defend it, and did not fight lightly, between the cannons and drums." All evils dare not be indulged. Jiang Shu is rushing to the gate, cutting through the gate and escaping, into the Taihu Lake. "When I heard about it, Emperor Jiajing ordered Da Lidai to strictly supervise the crime and arrest it immediately.

The records of "Memorabilia of the Emperor and Ming Dynasty" are all major events in the Ming Dynasty, and Suzhou can also be recorded, which shows how great its influence is.

Sure enough, as soon as the squid appeared, many local people in Suzhou died down and didn't dare to make trouble. Only Zhang Sanyi's subordinates were still yelling and making a fuss, and they didn't take the squid and his gang in their eyes at all.

As soon as the squid fish beckoned, more than a dozen thugs surrounded him, Zhang San also beckoned, and Zhang San's subordinates also surrounded Zhang San, putting their hands in their arms one by one

"Friend~~ What's the matter!" The squid looked Zhang San up and down, "So faceless~"

"It's not a big deal~~Redeem some silver flowers~" Zhang Sanpi said with a smile

The squid glanced at Zhang Sanyi and his group, none of them were good men and women, and everyone was either holding silver or holding a lot of silver tickets, "Friend, I see that the silver in your hand is enough to spend, and the silver ticket of this Hengtong silver number can also be used in Suzhou City, almost it~~"

Zhang San smiled lazily: "It's almost still much worse, I know better than you, I won't be in Suzhou tomorrow, of course I have to take away all the silver today~"

"Don't go on the road, right~~~" The squid lost his patience and slowly touched his right hand into his arms, "Don't toast and don't eat and drink ~~"

"Lao Tzu has a good amount of wine~~ Toast and punish the wine to eat together~~" Zhang San took the lead, rushed up with an arrow step, and punched the squid in the face, the squid didn't have time to draw the knife, and hurriedly raised his hand to block it

"Brothers, let's fight~~" Squid's subordinates shouted, drew daggers and short sticks and rushed up

"Give these splashes a little color~" Zhang San's subordinates also took out short knives from their clothes and greeted them

Suddenly, the swords flew on Shantang Street, blood was splashed, and the sound of crying and howling continued, and a bustling commercial street suddenly became a battlefield of swords and blood. 5。 Zhang San and the squid fish gang killed sexually, and the people in the surrounding shops avoided it

About half a pillar of incense passed, and I heard someone shouting at both ends of the street: "Arrest the lake bandit Zhang San~~ Arrest the lake bandit Zhang San~"

"Helmsman, the officers and soldiers are here~" Lu Heilong, the number one thug under Zhang San, hurriedly shouted

"Don't panic, let's act according to the plan~~" Zhang San said: "Brothers~~go~~"

When the officers and soldiers arrived, the squid fish group and Zhang Sanyi's group were gone, and the Suzhou prefect was furious, scolded the head catcher fiercely, and then ordered the city gate to be closed for three days, and the whole city searched for Zhang San. As a result, the city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish, and in the past few days, the people of Suzhou, who were panicked in the city, flocked to Hengtong Silver every day to rush to exchange cash. Hengtong Silver refused to exchange the silver, and the people made a fuss and robbed the treasury under the name of Hengtong Yinhao, making Hengtong Silver up and down.
