Chapter Eighty-Six: The Rich Merchant
Zhang Yu quickly pulled out his waist knife, and the officials behind him also surrounded him, all of them were fierce and vicious, as if they wanted to eat Yang Lian. The little official suddenly became arrogant, covered his face, stood up triumphantly, and shouted, "Aren't you very powerful just now? Do you have what it takes to hit me again? ”
The rich merchant was a little righteous, so he hurriedly took out the money bag from his arms, handed it to the little official, and said: "This adult, these things are caused by the villain, and I hope that the adult will dissipate his anger and let this son go." ”
The little official snorted coldly and said, "Let you go?" I'm telling you, it's late, it's late! You're all going to die! ”
Yang Lian looked at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "In this Jinling City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you are just a small official, and you can kill people at will?" ”
Without waiting for the little official to answer, Zhang Zhukuai walked out with a proud face and said, "What, you little thief is not convinced?" Let me tell you, in this Jinling City, I am the king! ”
"Haha!" Yang Lian laughed and said, "What kind of ability do you have, you dare to call yourself the king, are you not the son today?" ”
Zhang Yu snorted twice and said: "I work for the imperial court, and I am caught by a wicked villain like you, you don't need to say much, I will take your sacrificial knife today." ”
"What a big breath." Yang Lian moved his wrist and said.
Seeing that Yang Lian looked like he would rather die than give in, the little official laughed twice, and took two more steps to take two steps with Zhang Zhuan by his side, and said, "Dog thief, I still want to resist when I die." Big brother, grab him, I'm going to slap him a few times! ”
When Yang Lian heard this, he suddenly moved, his speed was so fast that Zhang Zhuai didn't react, Yang Lian stepped forward with an arrow, stretched out a big hand like a fan, grabbed the collar of the little official, and waved his other hand again and again, hitting the little official's face. Yang Lian attacked more ruthlessly this time, and the little official screamed a few times, vomiting blood in his mouth, and two teeth were broken.
The tragic situation of the little official made Zhang Zhuai angry, and he shouted loudly and said, "Dog thief, don't let him go yet." ”
"Put him down and wait for you to kill me? Are you stupid? Yang Lian teased, the corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm, and his palms still kept moving, fanning the little official again and again.
The little official was beaten and dizzy, and Huaye couldn't speak.
Zhang Zhuai was furious and had the heart to step forward, but Yang Lian choked the little official's neck with one hand and asked him to throw a mouse trap, and he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that his brother would be killed by Yang Lian.
"Big brother, save me, save me." The little official spoke, his mouth leaking, and his speech was not clear.
Yang Lian looked at Zhang Zhukuai and said with a smile: "Zhang Zhukuai, can you still save him?" ”
Zhang Zhu swallowed his saliva quickly, thought about it, and said, "You let him go, I won't embarrass you." ”
"It's okay to let him go, but not now. When I got to safety, I would let him go. As Yang Lian spoke, he motioned for the rich businessman to hurry up.
The rich merchant was quite clever, nodded hurriedly, and walked over quickly. Yang Lian also followed him and walked out of the dock. Zhang Zhukuai followed closely, clenched the waist knife in his hand, gritted his teeth, and wanted to tear Yang Lian in half.
The thief pursed his lips and said, "Brother Zhang, this idea is a bit prickly. ”
"Shut up, if something hadn't happened to you, how could my brother have fallen into this person's hands? When I rescue my brother, I'll ask you for this account!" Zhang Zhu glared at the thief,
The thief's body trembled, and he didn't dare to speak immediately, how did he know that he had already succeeded today, but Yang Lian suddenly appeared and robbed him of his money, which gave rise to so many incidents. Zhang Zhukuai has always been fierce, and the thief knows how powerful he is, so he has to secretly pray for himself in his heart, hoping that it would be best if something happens to Zhang Laoer, so that his punishment will be lighter.
Yang Lian and the wealthy businessman retreated more than a dozen steps, seeing that there were many people, it was the best time to leave, Yang Lian pushed the little official away, turned around and left.
"Catch him!" Zhang Zhu shouted quickly, and with his loud shout, seven or eight people in the crowd suddenly broke out and ran towards Yang Lian and the rich merchant respectively.
Yang Lian reacted very quickly, and when he saw someone running towards him, he knew that something was wrong, stretched out his fist, and hit a few people, and the first man rushed towards him, and Yang Lian's fists intersected, only to hear a soft sound, the person's face changed greatly, and he was repelled by Yang Lian's punch, covering his arms, and his forehead was already sweating profusely.
Yang Lian saw that there were many of them, so the shot was naturally very heavy, and a few people saw that Yang Lian was very powerful, so they didn't dare to get too close. Yang Lian was about to be killed, when the screams of a wealthy merchant came from his ears. This rich merchant only has a few tricks and three-legged cat skills, and he is not an opponent of these people at all, and he is quickly caught.
Zhang Zhu walked out triumphantly, he made arrangements in advance, these places have their own people, and they suddenly came out at this time, and it worked. The rich businessman has been captured, and Yang Lian is only one person, Zhang Zhuai feels that Yang Lian must not be able to escape.
"Run, run again!" The little official covered his mouth, and he didn't know where he came out, with a smug face.
Yang Lian glared at him fiercely and said, "Dogs fight people." ”
"Haha, I'm just relying on a lot of people." The little official said, holding a handkerchief in his hand and cleaning his face.
Seeing that Yang Lian was not moving, Zhang Zhu sneered and said, "Why, there is a kind of you running again." ”
"Why should I run?" Yang Lian smiled, crossed his hands, and looked like a graceful swimmer.
Zhang Zhukuai was a little surprised by Yang Lian's abnormality, but he felt that there were too many people, and Yang Lian was surrounded again, Yang Lian could be said to be difficult to fly, so he immediately settled down in his heart and said, "Don't run?" That's for the best, I'll break your legs and break your tendons later, and let you know what I'm going to do. ”
Yang Lian laughed and said, "I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity." ”
"Stubborn man, I'll let you see the coffin and shed tears!" Zhang Zhuhai said quickly, and with a wave of his hand, his subordinates ran up and surrounded Yang Lian in the middle.
"You're relying on a lot of people?" Yang Lian said lightly and sneered: "If it's just you, I must ask you to find teeth all over the ground." ”
"Tongue-talker!" Zhang Zhu drank quickly, and waved his hand to let the official capture Yang Lian.
At this moment, Yang Lian suddenly waved his hand and said, "Wait!" ”
"When death is imminent, it's a waste of time!" Zhang Zhukuai said, waved his hand, and said, "Brothers, arrest him, I will invite everyone to dinner tonight." ”
The officials shouted, someone had a treat, it was naturally excellent, and they immediately surrounded them without fear of death.
"If you want to rely on the large number of people, I will let you see, who has the most people?" Yang Lian suddenly shouted loudly, and then applauded.
The crowd suddenly became noisy, and many people with wooden sticks, planks and other strange weapons in their hands surrounded them, and the number of people was only a slight number, but there were at least thirty people. These people have a characteristic, that is, they are relatively tall, their eyes are dark, and they have a murderous aura.
Zhang Zhuai saw this scene and shouted: "What do you want to do? ”
"There's a lot of people." Yang Lian laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Brothers, arrest them, if there is anything, I will take responsibility." ”
"Whoa!" Everyone shouted in unison, the momentum was amazing, and Zhang Zhuhai couldn't help but be startled.
In the crowd, Lin Renzhao walked over quickly and said, "Yang Jiedu, these people have to be escorted to Dali Temple?" ”
Lin Renzhao's words were very clear, Zhang Zhu was taken aback, and wondered why this person was called so? Temperance, Temperance, is he not able to do Temperance? Thinking of this, Zhang Zhukuai's face became ugly.
"Escort Dali Temple, I want to see how Xiao Siqing handles it." Yang Lian said.
The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were about to step forward, but suddenly, the crowd was separated again, and a person appeared in front of Yang Lian with a group of officials, and it was actually Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan glanced at Yang Lian in surprise and said, "Ah, how did Yang Jiedu come here?" ”
Yang Lian arched his hand towards Xiao Yan, he still had a good impression of Xiao Yan, after all, this person was fair, and he did not participate in party disputes, so he was a neutral person. He immediately replied, "The Holy Lord wants the official to prepare to go north, so he came to the dock to look for merchant ships. Xiao Siqing, why did you come here? ”
Xiao Yan smiled, stroked his beard, and said, "I'm here for a routine inspection." ”
"Xiao Siqing is really hard." Yang Lian said with a smile.
"Eat the king's luck, and share the worries for the king." Xiao Yan arched his hand, glanced at Yang Lian, and said, "Yang Jiedu, something seems to have happened here." ”
"Hehe, Xiao Siqing came just in time, this person, with his subordinates, wants to arrest me." Yang Lian said.
Xiao Yan obviously knew this catcher, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Zhang catcher, what's going on?" ”
"Qiyu Siqing, this person is making trouble at the dock!" Zhang Zhukuai said.
Yang Lian sneered and said, "Zhang Zhukuai, is it really me making trouble?" Tell me with your own conscience, who stole this brother's money bag just now? And what does that person have to do with you? ”
"We don't have a relationship, you don't want to spew blood." Zhang Zhu quickly resisted.
The rich merchant stepped forward at this time, arched his hand towards Xiao Siqing, and said: "Xiao Siqing, I am the subject of this time, and what happened is like this......" The rich merchant said the matter.
Zhang Zhu quickly shouted: "You don't want to talk nonsense. ”
The rich merchant arched his hand and said, "Who is talking nonsense, it is clear at a glance." ”
Xiao Siqing snorted coldly and said: "Zhang Zhu, Yang Jiedu is a dignified festival envoy, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty, today's matter must be your mistake, come here, arrest Zhang Zhu, and send him back to Dali Temple to punish the crime!" ”
Several officials stepped forward, Zhang Zhukuai's face changed, and finally he lowered his hands and let the officials tie him up.
"Yang Jiedu is still satisfied with such a result?" Xiao Siqing smiled.
"Xiao Siqing's personality, Yang is very clear, and he is naturally trustworthy." Yang Lian bowed his hand.
"I will definitely deal with it impartially, and please rest assured that Yang Jiedu is at ease." Xiao Yan said, and escorted Zhang Zhukuai and the group to leave.
Yang Lian saw that everyone was gone, so he asked strangely: "Huzi, why are you here?" ”
"I heard that Yang Jiedu came to the dock, and I thought that there must be something to do, so I brought someone to help, but I didn't expect to meet this incident." Lin Renzhao said.
Yang Lian frowned, thinking that this was quite a coincidence. After thinking about it, he said: "This time I was ordered to go north, and I need a large number of ships to transport the food for disaster relief, and I am here to find ships." ”
"Can Yang Jiedu be found?" Lin Renzhao asked.
"These things happened when I first came to the dock, not yet, Huzi, you ask the brothers to look for it, try to get the largest boat, the more the better." Yang Lian said.
Lin Renzhao arched his hand and said, "Huh! With that, he turned and ordered the Praetorian Guard brothers to go.
At this time, the wealthy merchant came over and said, "This time thanks to Yang Jiedu, Xiaosheng is here to thank Yang Jiedu for his help." ”
"You're welcome." Yang Lian smiled, thinking that he hadn't done anything yet, so he planned to continue looking for the ship.
The rich merchant caught up with Yang Lian and said: "Yang Jiedu, I have heard what you said just now, I can't hide it, this time I came from Bashu, there are many ships, I must be able to help Yang Jiedu a little." ”
"How many ships do you have?" Yang Lian asked.
"All of them are big ships, fifteen of them." The rich merchant said.
"Very good, you can rest assured that I have requisitioned these ships, and I will pay them accordingly." Yang Lian said.
"Yang Jiedu is polite, these ships don't need to be paid, however, these ships are not mine, they belong to my master, Yang Jiedu needs ships, and he has to discuss one or two with my master." The rich merchant said.
Yang Lian couldn't help but be stunned, this man was gorgeously dressed, he must be a rich man, but he was actually just a housekeeper or something, behind him, there was a so-called master, Yang Lian was suddenly a little curious about this person. Since the ships are all owned by his master, Yang Lian has a special need for the boat, and Yang Lian also feels the need to meet this so-called master.
"In that case, it's hard work." Yang Lian said.
"Yang Jiedu, please come here." The rich merchant said.
"You don't have to be polite, I don't know your name yet." Yang Lian said.
"I'm just a minion, what's the name." The rich merchant smiled and led the way.
Since this person didn't want to say, Yang Lian didn't ask, Chen Tie followed behind him, protecting Yang Lian, he was afraid that something would happen to Yang Lian.
The rich merchant took Yang Lian out of the city first, after all, he came this time to get permission from the dock to sail the ship into Jinling City, and the ships were still waiting outside the city at this time. Out of the city, go east, continue along the Qinhuai River, only walked for half an hour, and then arrived at a wharf outside the city.
Yang Lian stared at it, and suddenly gasped, in the depths of the dock, there are more than a dozen ships, all of them are big ships, with sails hanging on them, to have such a fleet, it proves that this master must have very strong financial resources, I am afraid that in Bashu, he is also one of the richest people, stomping his feet, Bashu has to tremble.
"Yang Jiedu, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform the master." The rich merchant said.
Yang Lian nodded and said, "It's okay." I'll be waiting for you right here. ”
The rich merchant left in a hurry, Chen Tie walked over, looked at the many ships, and said: "Yang Jiedu, so many ships, all hanging on are the names of the same firm, it seems that this merchant is extraordinary." ”
Yang Lian nodded and said, "This business is extraordinary, if we can get their help, this time for disaster relief, the situation will be much better." "However, I don't know if these people will help, and to what extent? (To be continued.) )
