Chapter 229: Investigation and Evidence Collection

Jiang Feng didn't see the person from Cuiyulou, and in the end, the Xia family's fleet did not replenish the goods in the private port of Yantai Mountain Qianhusuo, loaded the goods in Shuangyu and then went to Japan, and the goods trafficked from Jiangnan were unloaded in Yantai and then loaded with goods and went to Japan.

However, the money earned and the cost are very different, the Xia family naturally knows what is to make or lose, they don't have the idea of breaking through at all, the two cannons on the middle of the mountain may have shooting dead ends, but the guns on the Western ship moored in the dock are not fun. Besides, did these hundreds of people on his ship go ashore and wait to be slaughtered by the other party?

Now more than a dozen of Jiang Feng's boats are operated by Li Guangtou's fleet, Li Guangtou was just a small thief in Fujian who was taken out of prison, and he is also a brave man, and he doesn't know what means he used to escape from prison. Gathered a force at sea.

Fujian's Yuegang has long been the center of smuggling and distribution, Li Guangtou saw that he couldn't get into it, so he and Xu Qi and Deng Fang took advantage of the opportunity of the forbidden sea to move inwards to occupy the Shuangyu Island of Liuheng Island.

Fortunately, his subordinates are working hard, and he is alert. But it can be regarded as a big ups and downs, who said that Li Guangtou is only in his early forties, but his heart is also a lot calmer. This time, he stammered with Jiang Feng and saw the power in Jiang Feng's hands, and he was also very accurate in his judgment.

Knowing that he can only make a fortune behind Jiang Feng now, and can't have any crooked thoughts, Jiang Feng's fierceness, the strength and unity of his subordinates, but he can't turn the sky up now, and he often thinks, are these people under Jiang Feng still the army of the Ming Dynasty? Does the Ming have such an army?

Seeing these actions of the Xia family, Monk Li has been snickering, now the location of this private port, the benefits and exclusivity brought by this position, is really too golden, no wonder some people are dazzled, but I don't want to think about it, if such a port was not watched by an overlord like Jiang Feng, it would have been investigated a long time ago, how could it exist, when I thought of the word "overlord".

Monk Li shivered himself, shook his head and said to himself:

"This is a house, there is no such possibility!"

From November to January of the following year, the smuggling ships are generally not at sea, whether it is the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, or the Japanese devils are going back to celebrate the New Year, this is the biggest and most solemn festival of the year, as for the Spanish and Portuguese are not the New Year, but at this time no one he goes there to buy and sell.

Li Guangtou's fleet finished the last flight, and anchored at the place where Jiangnan had been, Li Guangtou and Jiang Feng's men each had a ship to return to the port of Dengzhou, some sailors and shipwrights were from Fujian and Zhejiang, and they also had to go home to prepare for the New Year, Li Guangtou's cronies and Jiang Feng's Tieding both lived in Dengzhou, and the silver money at the end of the year was also taken at this time, and they were all taken back at one time.

Therefore, there were three ships moored in the harbor of the Qianhu Institute in Yantai Mountain, the Western brigs that were snatched, and the two medium-sized Fu ships of Monk Li and Jiang Feng.

As soon as they anchored in the port, several people who had been running around at sea for a long time did not care about resting, and directly asked the Yantai Mountain Thousand Households to arrange horses, and they wanted to go to Dengzhou Mansion to report something important.

During this period of time, salt merchants and salt lords in Shandong Province are running around in Jining and Dengzhou Mansion, for next year's quota and sales volume are inextricable, and now Huang Ping and Jiang Feng have sprinkled the silver in the salt transportation yamen, except for the two of them on the ground in Shandong, even if you spend money, you can't buy salt.

The sea route and land route were all pinched by Jiang Feng, you just have the money to buy private salt, and you don't want to transport it out of the salt field, it is so unreasonable, what can you do.

For Jiang Feng, settling accounts and bargaining with Zhao Xiucai at home with the salt merchant and salt lord is far less than him traveling the world outside or fighting on the battlefield.

However, for Liu Fangrui and the Su sisters, Jiang Feng's days of living at home are very rare, and they naturally serve them wholeheartedly, but let Jiang Feng enjoy the gentle taste. He had the kind of playful mind he had in modern times. It is quite easy to rack up some delicious and fun things to make your wife and sister-in-law happy.

When several people hurried to Dengzhou Prefecture, Jiang Feng was holding a doll with a set of hands to tell Su Guanxue a story, and Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue watched with a smile on the side.

At this time, I heard a report from someone outside, saying that Tie Ding, who ran the boat, had an urgent return, and there was also Monk Li who came with him.

"The Xia family can be regarded as one of the top five maritime families in southern Fujian, but thirty years ago, except for a dozen ships, there was nothing, and the people in the family were all officials in the sailor or the city ship division yamen, and they always took the above route, and there was not much involved in the trading at sea.

However, in the past ten years, there have been more and more big forces on the sea, and the imperial court's policy of banning the sea has become stricter and stricter, and the power of the Xia family is also getting worse day by day, slowly declining. Xia Qinglong, the patriarch of the Xia family, and his two younger brothers, Qingqiu and Qingjiao, decided to use the old relationship in the past and also play a game at sea. “

Jiang Feng called Liu Twelve to listen to the introduction of Tie Ding and Monk Li's subordinates in the front hall, Monk Li sat on the side and followed the introduction, after Jiang Feng saw his subordinates come in, he didn't say too many words of hush and warmth, and directly ordered the servants below to stew ginger soup and hot tea.

This kind of concern for the details of his subordinates, coupled with the performance of being generous, taking the lead, etc., is precisely because of these that his subordinates serve him to death.

"Recently, Xia Qinglong's health has not been good, the Xia family has relied on the power of our Yantai Mountain Thousand Households in the past few years, and it has become bigger, and the two brothers Qingqiu and Qingjiao are staring at the position of the head of the Xia family. Xia Qinglong has a daughter of Xia Cuiyu, and there are no offspring, so Qingqiu and Qingjiao have already started to fight there, fortunately, there is their eldest brother above, and it is not enough to turn his face openly, but it is said on Liuheng Island that Xia Qinglong has recently colluded with Zhejiang Wokou, and his power has become bigger and bigger, and he has not listened to Xia Qinglong's orders! ”

When Jiang Feng heard this, the ins and outs of the Xia family's abnormal behavior were almost clear, the Xia family, Jiang Feng sneered, and shouted outside to give orders:

"Tell all the people on duty in the yard to get on their horses and go out with me!"

Liu Twelve, who was thinking on the side, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked:

"My lord, what are you??"

"Grab the woman!!"

Jiang Feng replied with a laugh......
