Chapter 262: Differential Treatment of Murder and Bribery

Before Jiang Feng came, Dengzhou was just a city that relied on special products and dry seafood to maintain its economy, of course, a large army was stationed here, but this is a matter of two natures with the current US military stationed in Germany to drive the economic development of the station, so many troops just eat up the place more and more empty.

After Jiang Feng came to settle here, from the beginning of the acting Yantai Mountain town guarding thousands of households, a few years is a triple jump to the commander of the Dengzhou Left Guard, Shandong guerrilla, and really has the power of the military of the third grade. The local economy seems to have developed at such a rapid pace.

Salt smuggling and smuggling in Dengju were completely legal, and workshops and trading houses representing all kinds of products needed overseas were densely populated inside and outside the city, and every day there were regular convoys of goods purchased in large quantities from the trading houses according to the trade list of ships at sea, and then hired chariots and horses to send them to the private ports outside the city.

In the past, only in Jinan, Jining and other wealthy places had a lot of money bank ticket numbers, and carts and horses that provided transportation of illicit salt also appeared.

On the other hand, service providers and all kinds of people such as restaurants, green houses, casinos and teahouses, inns, etc. have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and there should have been gangs and other organizations, and they did appear, and they were quite rampant in the market.

Half a month later, all the leaders of the city's green buildings, casinos, as well as illegal salt escorts and other black businesses were called outside the city, and 170 scoundrels were arrested in the Dengzhou camp within one day, and the original ruins of Dongjiazhuang were collectively beheaded.

Then, Dengzhou Taiping, each family is honestly doing their own business.

Now Dengzhou Jade House is a well-deserved first restaurant, all private or official needs to be high-grade reception is handled in this, as for the best inn, there is no conclusion yet, in general, Shuntong, Lilai and welcome three big inns are the best three.

Merchants who do not lack silver live in this, and every day they usher in and send to it are quite lively, and in July and August of each year, it is always the time when the merchants are the most, one is a large amount of salt at sea, and the other is that smuggling is also the best peak season.

Shuntong Inn is open diagonally opposite the jade building, it is also quite a magnificent three-story building, the door greets the guest is the famous guest Wei Quxie, treats the guest that is extremely eye-catching, no matter who is the politeness of the grasp, his salary is also quite high, and the account room on the counter is about the same.

The Dengzhou sun in August is also quite scorching, Wei Quxie sat on the bench in front of the door, and saw a carriage and a few horses parked in front of the door, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with a hand towel here, greeted him with a smile on his face, and looked at the pot-bellied merchant who got off the car and smiled:

"This master, please come inside, how many dare to ask?"

Although he was asking this businessman, his eyes were looking behind, such an imposing businessman was the housekeeper around him who took care of everything, but he didn't expect the businessman to speak by himself:

"Twelve ......"

Wei Quxie was stunned for a moment, but this time was very short, he reacted extremely quickly, and said there:

"Inside, please, inside!" Then he turned his head and shouted inside:

"Twelve, guys waiting!"

After shouting a loud word, a few guys ran out quickly, leading the carriage and horses, helping those who carried the luggage to take the luggage, and surrounded these people and walked inside, and the guy who walked at the end was grabbed by Wei Quxie and said something closely.

The guy's face was calm, he didn't say anything, just nodded, and then ran in with the guest's team, in such a hot weather, it is always necessary to arrange for the guests to take a bath, which is also the high-quality service provided by the big inn, and the guy who was called by Wei Quyi to whisper has been busy there.

In the evening, Wei Wuxian saw that the things in the store were already about the same, he followed the counter and said hello, and walked out of the inn leisurely, he rented a small courtyard in the south of Dengzhou, and he didn't have any family. As soon as he got out of the door, the guy who had spoken during the day ran out.

When passing by his side, he greeted him respectfully:

"Brother Wei, go home and rest?"

"I'm almost busy today, go back and go to bed early, what are you?"

"The merchants who came during the day today asked me to go to the Jade Building to order a few dishes, so I will go and say hello, so as not to be late and delayed."

Wei Qu smiled and nodded, the two of them also had to walk together for a while, and after walking a few steps away from the door, the guy said in a low voice:

"It should be from the capital, it seems to be from the factory

Wei Wuxian nodded, the smile on his face unchanged, and raised his mouth:

"Hurry up and say hello, you don't have to accompany me."

Jiang Feng's mansion is also in the southern city of Dengzhou, and now although their whole family has moved to the Qianhu Office in Yantai Mountain, there are still a few people in charge here, and now Tieding's family members are all in the Qianhu Office, or in the barracks under the mountain.

The identity of the people who live here is quite special in Yantai Mountain, not Tie Ding, nor those soldiers and horses recruited from all over the world, nor the clansmen of the Liu family on Weishan Island, but several elderly hunters of the Yang family, as well as a brother of Zhao Xiucai, all live here, and they don't go out on weekdays.

Early the next morning, the pot-bellied merchant took the people out of the city, the real bulk trade of goods was not carried out in the city, but in the original location of Dongjiazhuang, where there are now huge warehouses and freight yards, Dengzhou Mansion has been built to the present, to deal with so many merchants and goods, it is already a little insufficient, so basically in the city of the warehouse to negotiate business, and then go outside the city for the next step of trading.

Of course, there are also some small ones that directly open their business in the freight yard, and now that freight yard has become a small and prosperous place.

After the group of big-bellied merchants left the city, they were directly shocked, they themselves felt that they had already gotten up very early, but the road outside the city was already bustling, people and cars came and went, and there were many people waiting at the city gate, and after the city gate was opened, they rushed in in a noisy manner.

"This is even more prosperous than the capital!"

"I don't see it, the stall took me to Jiangnan last year, and it is estimated that it is a comparison between Suzhou and Yangzhou here, which is amazing."

The big fat man listened to a few words in the carriage, patted the carriage with his hand, and shouted in a low voice:

"Shut up all of you, for fear that others won't know where we're from?"

The people around him suddenly fell silent, but after a while, they heard the fat merchant in the carriage say to himself:

"If this business is done to such an extent, aren't the officials here afraid that they will be exterminated by the Nine Clans and cut by a thousand cuts?"

These merchants took a look at the freight yard and salt yard outside the city, although the business over there was a private word, but the merchants became fearless because of Jiang Feng's protection, as long as they paid money in a proper manner, and did business in a proper manner, you would let it go.

After the fat merchant took the people around for a morning, they didn't buy anything, but they also felt that there was no need to continue walking, they thought they were going to investigate some shady things, and no one thought that the other party would actually take it to the table like this and do it unscrupulously.

After these people returned to the inn, they rested for a day, and the next day they were on the road to prepare to return, which can be regarded as quite an eye-catching thing, for businessmen, Dengzhou is Jinshan, as long as you come here with goods, there is never a thing that cannot be sold, how can there be something that cannot be sold.

If you go back to the capital from Dengzhou, first of all, from Dengzhou to Laizhou, and then Laizhou takes Dezhou into Hebei into Beijing, this road is official, but Denglai and North Zhili, although it is the imperial court soldiers stationed, but it is never a peaceful place, the team headed by the fat businessman went straight to Laizhou after going out of Dengzhou, Dengzhou road to Jinan and other prefectures and counties is still lively, but Denglai is very deserted.

It seems that the prosperity of Dengzhou has no impact on Laizhou, in fact, since Jiang Feng controlled the private salt of the whole territory of Shandong in his own hands, the yamen of Laizhou, Dongchang and Qingzhou were a little hostile to him.

Jiang Feng didn't even give them any soup left, so they tried their best to set up cards and collect taxes from merchants from Dengzhou on the way, so the merchants could take the sea route, or they would take the land route in the area controlled by Jiang Feng.

The fat businessman walked in a hurry on the road, the checkpoints on the road seemed to have no obstacle to them, and after passing by, they saw the documents they issued and immediately let them go, these people were so nervous all the way, and within a few days, they were already in the territory of Beizhili.

They were still a little inexplicably nervous in their hearts, but after entering Beizhili, they relaxed, and slowly walked to noon, where there was no store in front of the village, but everyone had to rest, and found a roadside vacant, and a group of people began to take out dry food to eat after they came down.

The guy in Dengzhou suspected that they were "from the factory", that is to say, these people were all fans of the East Factory, seeing that their reaction was really extraordinary, as soon as there was movement around, more than a dozen people and even the big fat man immediately pulled out the weapon from the car, and the fat man shouted:

"Friends along the way, we are the ...... of the East"

Before he could finish his words, a feathered arrow shot into his mouth at a rapid pace, burrowing out of the back of his head, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and dozens of masked horsemen raised their knives to kill.

Jingshi, the mighty earl, and the Jinyi guard all commanded Lu Bing's mansion, Wang Qinian kowtowed to Lu Bing with a smile on his face, and said respectfully:

"This is 30,000 taels of silver, and it is a birthday gift from my family to Lu Dutang......"
