The King of Qi came to him, and Li Ping's face naturally had to be given to the King of Qi. Although Yang Lian is not familiar with him, he is also a very popular figure recently. King Qi's beloved daughter is married, and Li Ping, who is a household servant, also knows something, even if he doesn't tie up with Yang Lian, he has to tie up with King Qi, right?

Li Ping immediately arched his hand and said with a smile: "King Qi, where is this, it is Li Ping's honor to be able to serve King Qi." ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, smiled and said, "Here's how it ......" Li Jingsui simply said what happened in Haichu and Haichu Prefectures, and at the end, he said: "Yang Jiedu is going to Haichu and Chu Prefectures to take up his post and provide relief to the victims, and the problem of food will be Lao Li Shilang." ”

Li Ping hurriedly said: "So that's the case, Yang Jiedu's matter is also my business, King Qi, please rest assured." ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, nodded with satisfaction and said, "With Li Shilang's words, Lone is relieved." ”

Yang Lian said with a smile: "This matter is very important, I want to leave Jinling as soon as possible and go north to help the victims, but I don't know how many days Li Shilang will be able to prepare food?" ”

"500,000 stone grain is not a small amount, although there is enough grain in Jinling City, the key is how to transport it." Li Ping said.

"The canal between Haichu and Chu is naturally faster by water." Yang Lian said.

Li Ping shook his head and said, "Yes, but transporting 500,000 stone of grain requires a lot of ships, but it can't be done in just a few days, and this is the difficulty of this matter." “

"Li Shilang, please bother with the food matter, as for the ship's affairs, leave it to me." Yang Lian said.

"It's a good idea." Li Ping replied.

"It's urgent, I'll take my leave." Yang Lian said, and saluted Li Ping again as a thank you.

Li Ping returned the salute and said, "Yang Jiedu walks slowly." ”

Yang Lian and Li Jingsui walked out of the door of the household, and King Qi frowned and said, "The matter of the ship is indeed to be bothered. ”

"I'll go to the docks and look for a boat." Yang Lian said.

"How can you find so many ships in one moment?" Li Jingsui said.

"Find as much as you want." Yang Lian said, and walked out quickly. Out of the imperial city, he rode his war horse and galloped towards the dock of Jinling. In fact, even if there are ships at the wharf, most of them are retail investors, Yang Lian pinned his hopes on merchant ships, if there are businessmen from the rich side who happen to come to Jinling to do business, they will inevitably bring a lot of ships. These ships were the objects of Yang Lian's requisition.

After all, Jinling is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the wharf of the Qinhuai River is full of people, at a glance, it is all human heads, tall, short, fat and thin, all different, skin color, accent is also different, there are both Chinese people with black eyes and yellow skin, and there are also Hu people with high noses and deep eyes, and blue eyes. Yang Lian led the war horse, took three steps and made two steps, and arrived at the edge of the dock, staring at the boats shuttling back and forth on the Qinhuai River.

Although there are many ships, Yang Lian has no way to tell that those ships belong to the same family for a while, and it will be time-consuming to buy the ships of retail investors separately. When Yang Lian stared at the Qinhuai River, a person who looked like a small official walked over, and behind him, there was a gorgeously dressed person following.

"This lord, I am from Bashu, and the ships in this ship are all Bashu specialties such as Shu brocade, and I hope that my lord will be accommodating." Said the man who seemed to be a wealthy businessman.

"Hmph, your dozen ships are all big ships, if you enter Jinling in one go, wouldn't it be a big deal?" The man squinted his eyes and glanced at the rich merchant.

"Well, the villain is just a businessman, and these dozen ships are full of special products, so they will be fine." The rich merchant said, his hand shook, and a piece of silver fell into his palm, and he handed it to the little official very quickly, and glanced left and right at the same time.

"What are you doing here?" The little official snorted coldly, waved his hand, and said, "You are bribing the little official, believe it or not, I will send someone to take you to prison?" ”

The rich merchant smiled on his face and said, "My lord, this is just a little bit of the villain's care. ”

"Don't think that if you are from Shu, you can come here, this is Datang!" The little official scolded.

The rich businessman's face showed a look of ridicule, he went all the way down, and when he encountered a problem, he took out some gold and silver, and solved the matter logically.

Yang Lian glanced at the wealthy businessman and felt that this person was quite blessed, so he didn't realize that he looked at him twice. The rich businessman felt Yang Lian's gaze, and also glanced at Yang Lian, and nodded slightly towards Yang Lian. When the two were greeting, suddenly, a person rushed out of the crowd, stretched out his hand, grabbed the money bag on the rich merchant's body, and pulled it fiercely.

The rich merchant was caught off guard, and the money bag was taken away by the man, and when he found out, the thief had already run several steps, "There is a thief!" The rich merchant shouted.

Yang Lian stood in front of the rich businessman, what the thief did Yang Lian saw very clearly, the rich businessman's voice just fell, Yang Lian was short, stretched out his legs, and knocked the thief to the ground with a sweeping leg. Without waiting for the thief to react, Yang Lian strode over, snatched the money bag from his hand, looked at him coldly, and said: "In Jinling, there are actually chickens and dogs who are thieves, which really disgraces the face of the Tang Dynasty." ”

The little official walked over quickly, coldly swept Yang Lian and the thief, and said, "You little thief, why don't you get out of here?" "I guess I'm used to seeing it every day, that's why I say that.

The thief patted his ass and stood up, glanced at Yang Lian coldly, and said, "You wait for me." ”

"What, you still want to take revenge on me?" Yang Lian looked at him and sneered.

"This is the master's territory, you wait for the master." The thief said.

"Chickens and dogs, don't get out of here!" The little official snorted coldly and scolded loudly.

However, as soon as his voice fell, Yang Lian had already stepped on it, and a fierce slap flashed on the thief's face, and with a crisp sound of "pop", the thief's face suddenly had five more finger prints.

"Wow, you dare to do it!" The thief was very arrogant, and after a loud shout, he was about to step forward.

But Yang Lian's movements were faster than his voice, Yang Lian took a step forward, raised his legs, kicked out, and accurately hit the thief's lower abdomen, this kick was fast and hard, the thief didn't have time to react, so he lay on the ground, holding his lower abdomen and screaming loudly.

The little official glanced at Yang Lian coldly and said, "Who are you?" ”

"It's just that the road is uneven." Yang Lian said lightly.

"Hmph, although he is a thief, you shouldn't start beating people and disturbing the order of the docks." The little official said.

Yang Lian raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the little official, and said with a smile: "What, according to your meaning, I am guilty?" ”

"You're not guilty, but such things are sparse and ordinary, and if you make such a fuss, if a thief invites people to make trouble, won't this dock be in chaos?" The little official scolded coldly.

This is a rich merchant who came over, and when he heard the little official say this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile: "My lord, this matter is all the fault of the villain, and it has nothing to do with this brother. ”

The little official glanced at the rich merchant and scolded: "What are you, dare to order me?" ”

Yang Lian smiled and said, "You are in charge of the dock affairs, so you naturally have the responsibility to eliminate the thieves at the dock, but now you are afraid of the thieves' revenge, is it possible that you can't collude with these thieves?" ”

The little official's face changed, and he shouted: "What the official wants to do, can you manage it?" ”

At this time, the thief slipped away in a hurry, Yang Lian didn't care, glanced at the little official, and said, "This brother, this is your money bag." As he spoke, he handed the thing over.

Yang Lian's contemptuous eyes made the little official very angry, he raised his hand, pointed at Yang Lian, and shouted: "You person, dare to make trouble at the dock!" ”

Yang Lian didn't want to deal with him, but the little official pointed at him with his finger, Yang Lian suddenly felt unhappy, he put the money bag and handed it to the rich businessman, took two steps across, raised his hand, slapped the little official in the face, and shouted: "What kind of thing are you, you deserve to point your finger at me?" ”

"You, you!" The little official was beaten, and he was immediately furious, he stretched out his hand and wanted to fight back, but Yang Lian didn't wait for him to do it at all, and slapped him in the face again.

"Someone's coming, someone is making trouble!" The little official was angry and shouted.

Hurried footsteps sounded, and soon, seven or eight people appeared in front of Yang Lian, Yang Lian took a look and found that the thief just now was among them. When the little official saw the thief, he immediately ran over, pointed at Yang Lian, and shouted: "Kill him, I'll be responsible for killing him!" ”

"You're really colluding." Yang Lian said coldly.

The rich merchant hurriedly walked up, held the money bag in his hand, handed it to the little official, and said: "My lord, harmony makes money, harmony generates wealth, and there are more than a dozen taels of silver in this money bag. ”

"What are you!" The little official jumped up and down, pointing at the nose of the rich merchant and scolding.

When the rich merchant heard this, his face turned red and white for a while.

Yang Lian pulled the rich merchant behind him and said, "Don't worry, it's just a few gangsters." ”

The rich merchant shook his head and said, "Thank you Gongzi for your help, but after all, there are many of them, I'm afraid they ......."

Before the rich businessman's words were finished, Yang Lian had already strode forward, perhaps because he didn't expect Yang Lian to take the initiative, these seven or eight people didn't make a move for a while, and when Yang Lian grabbed the little official and slapped him in the face a few times, he reacted, and immediately shouted and surrounded Yang Lian.

"Let him go, spare you from death!" The thief shouted, but the voice was not very confident.

Yang Lian looked at him coldly, snorted, and said, "Are you stupid, if I let him go, will you still be scrupulous?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped the little official in the face seven or eight times in a row. The sound was crisp, the little official was dizzy by the fan, and blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth, and the whole person was unconscious.

These seven or eight people looked at Yang Lian, and in view of the fact that the little official was arrested, they didn't dare to step forward.

"Why, don't you dare to come up?" Yang Lian said lightly.

"You let him go first."

"It's kind of a one-on-one with me."

"Yes, what are you capable of holding hostages?"

Everyone was gossiping, and as things got bigger, more and more people gathered on the dock, all watching the show. Some people who know the little official and the thief can't help but gasp, these two have been on the dock for many years, cooperate with each other, and often extort passing ship dealers. Many people dare to be angry but dare not speak, they can't imagine that someone will come forward today and quarrel with these two people, it seems that there is a good show to watch.

Yang Lian smiled, slapped the little official a few more times, and saw that he was still unconscious, so he let him go and said, "Take it!" With that, he pushed the little official out.

Several people hurriedly stretched out their hands to use the stumbling little official, however, at this moment, Yang Lian had already rushed over quickly, waving his fists, and even if the two of them were beaten to the ground, the remaining few people saw that the situation was not good, and they didn't dare to pick up the little official, and rushed towards Yang Lian.

Yang Lian waved his fist and punched the bridge of a person's nose, only to hear a crisp sound, the person screamed, and immediately fell down, covering his nose and wailing, thinking that the bridge of his nose was broken.

Yang Lian rushed left and right, without stopping at all, just in a moment, he knocked seven or eight people to the ground. Seeing that Yang Lian was so powerful, the thief couldn't help but feel fear in his heart, took two steps back, and kept a distance of about ten steps from Yang Lian, looking vigilant.

"What, scared?" Yang Lian said lightly.

"You, you kind of don't go!" The thief shouted, but his voice trembled a little, he didn't expect Yang Lian to fight, he was so fierce, and there was no warning in advance, he said that he would do it, and everyone was caught off guard.

"I'm not leaving, I'm waiting for you here." Yang Lian rubbed his wrists, he hadn't moved for a long time, and this fight was not enjoyable enough.

The thief shouted, "Okay, then don't go!" As he spoke, he slipped away.

"Run a little full, and no one will chase you." Yang Lian said loudly.

The wealthy merchant approached Yang Lian and said: "This son, it seems that the dock is colluded by officials and thieves, as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, so it's better for the prince to leave immediately." ”

Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't be afraid, let me solve today's matter." ”

The rich businessman was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Yang Lian speaking with confidence, he was slightly surprised in his heart, and at the same time, he was relieved as if he had taken a reassuring pill.

The thief left in a hurry, and after running less than two steps, he saw a servant walking briskly with more than a dozen people.

"Zhang Zhu, someone over there made trouble and injured your brother." The thief said.

"What, someone dares to make trouble?" Caught up in anger and shouted, "Where, take me to see." ”

"Zhang Zhu, let's go this way!" The thief improvised and walked over with Zhang Yukuai, and the group took three steps and two steps, and soon arrived at Yang Lian's side.

At this time, the little official woke up slowly, slowly stood up, only to feel that the bones on his body were about to fall apart, and the corners of his mouth were torn in pain.

Zhang Zhuhai walked over and saw that his brother was beaten with blood all over his face, his face was full of red marks, and his clothes were torn, looking very embarrassed. Zhang Yukuai looked around, his eyes were like eagle falcons, ready to swallow people, and said, "Who is it, dare to beat my brother!" ”

Yang Lian looked at him lightly, this person's clothes seemed to be the people of Dali Temple. Without waiting for Yang Lian to speak, the little official and the thief and others stretched out their hands almost at the same time, pointed at Yang Lian, and shouted: "It's him!" ”

The rich merchant originally wanted to say something, but when he saw everyone looking at each other, he suddenly became afraid and said, "It's not good, it's not good." ”

Yang Lian tidied up his clothes, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, it's me." What if it's me? ”

"Whoever beats my brother, I want his life!" Zhang Zhu said quickly and pulled out his waist knife. (To be continued.) )
