"Liu Wenxiu, take your people to maintain order, don't be soft if you are mischievous. Is it true that I'm a soft egg? ”

Zhu Shunming saw that the crowd began to be chaotic, there were unruly guys cutting in line, guys fishing in troubled waters taking the opportunity to steal, and guys with evil intentions instigating everywhere and disrupting order. He ordered Liu Wenxiu to go ashore and rectify the scene. It's time to bare your fangs! Otherwise, everyone wants to take a bite, which is harmless but human.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The drums of war sounded, and the soldiers of the 2,000th household lined up in a neat line, quickly rushed ashore, unsheathed their weapons, and unceremoniously knocked down and took away the troublemakers.

"You dare to hit me? I am...... Oops......"

He was answered with a hard blow from the hilt.

"Why did you arrest me? I'm a food buyer. "Someone shouted.

"What about the bags of grain? And the money for the purchase of grain? None of them? Teasing Lao Tzu? Syllable...... Bang......"

The soldier smirked and knocked the slicky thug to the ground and kicked him hard.

"You dare to deceive our Changsha guards? Impatient? The soldier looked down on the thugs on the ground, and his words showed a deep sense of pride.

These soldiers are too fierce and savage. Boss Ye of Wanshou Wharf also dares to fight? Father-in-law Liu's people also dare to arrest him? The second housekeeper of the Hu family was beaten into a dead dog? These soldiers are too bold!

The crowd of people who bought the food cowered and watched the soldiers commit murder, scared and happy at the same time. Afraid that these soldiers will come indiscriminately and beat themselves, and glad that those who suck people's blood and eat flesh have been punished.

The soldiers quickly separated themselves with ropes and separated the individual passages, and the crowd of people who bought food lined up in a long queue to buy food in an orderly manner.

The soldiers kept roaming around the grain buying procession, showing high morale and well-trained heroism, announcing that Zhu Shunming's forces had entered the Yangzhou capital.

………………

Ma Tianxi broke into the prefect's yamen violently, followed by the equally angry grain merchants.

"Lord Wu, I just finished discussing it yesterday, and today Zhu Er was stunned to open a grain store in Yangzhou. Did you negotiate it? He Zhu Er was stunned to sell grain so cheaply, how to deal with the high-priced grain accumulated by me and other grain merchants? ”

Wu Guifang looked surprised and said, "Why did Master Ma say this?" Yangzhou was short of food, so the official had to lower his face and send a letter to the governor of Huguang for help. Didn't you say that there was no food in stock? How can we accumulate high-priced grain? This official thinks for the people of Limin, asks for low-cost grain, and wants to come to the emperor and down to the people of Li will be praised. ”

"You ......" Ma Tianxi was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Wu Guifang's anger.

"I really don't know what arrogance you have about a eunuch's doglegs? Didn't you swagger yesterday? Isn't there no food? This official has given you a chance, but it's a pity that you can't wait. This official can't wait, isn't there still Zhu Er, who is not afraid of heaven and earth? Wu Guifang was secretly happy.

"I'll go find Grandpa Liu. I don't believe that I can't cure this Zhu Er's stunned son. Ma Tianxi turned his head and left, so angry that he forgot the minimum etiquette.

………………

The grain store was busy until midday, and the men repeatedly promised to sell grain as usual tomorrow, and the crowd of people who bought grain dispersed one after another.

As the news spreads, more people will come tomorrow to buy food.

At the end of the day, the guys were all tired, hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of food, didn't bother to wash, fell asleep, and soon fell asleep.

Baoyang Lake (Slender West Lake) has entered nightlife mode. The warbler in the Red Mansion and the Green Pavilion are singing and dancing, the lights of the cruise boat are ambiguous, the sister and the bustard's mother are ushered in, the pot-bellied businessman spends a lot of money to spend the Spring Festival, the talented scholar hangs the bookbag to beg the beauty to laugh, even the thugs in the nursing home have already found one or two familiar fans, you and I have gone.

This kind of drunken and gold-obsessed scene reveals the confidence of the Ming Dynasty to be rich in the world, and compares the unfairness of the world.

The people living near Wanshou Wharf are all poor people such as shopkeepers, men, and porters, who go to bed early to rest, and the whole Wanshou Street is shrouded in darkness, and faintly can hear the sound of wheezing, mixed with the gentle caress of the cold wind and the sound of the water.

The night is as cool as water.

At about the hour, the sound of busy footsteps faintly came from the quiet Wanshou Street. The voices are getting louder and louder, and they are as arrogant as ever.

"What do you see? The wolf gang is running errands, and you are impatient? Go back to sleep. ”

The residents of Wanshou Street heard the noise and got up one after another to investigate. Hearing the arrogant scolding of the wolf's head, they all shrank back in fright, and prayed to the Bodhisattva in horror to bless themselves, cursing why the king of Yama did not take these evil fellows away.

The Wolf Gang is an unofficial thug raised by Yangzhou salt merchants in addition to Yanding.

Yangzhou salt merchants are wealthy, and the wolf gang is naturally high-profile and arrogant. In the entire three counties and three states of Yangzhou Prefecture, the wolf gang is more rampant than the official government.

Dozens of wolf gang members surrounded Jiu'an Grain Store without concealment, and there was no weakness or fear at all to act in the dark.

"Pour the oil."

The wolf head smiled fiercely, and shouted in his mouth: "In Yangzhou City, I dare to fight with Master Hu, I am really impatient." ”

The fire oil was poured on the wooden doors and windows of the grain row, emitting a pungent smell and drifting far away with the cold wind. There was an air of danger at the scene.

When the rest of the residents of Wanshou Street smelled the smell of fire oil, they were all so frightened that they quickly got up, packed up the softness, and prepared a water source to prevent the fish in the pond.

The wolf head looked at the fire oil flowing on the ground, and was about to shout "ignition", when he suddenly realized that the atmosphere was wrong.

Before he could react, "whoosh", arrows rained down, nailing a group of wolf gang minions to the ground. The blood mixed with fire oil slowly gathered into a thin stream, along the dark ditches on both sides of the street, to Wanshou Wharf, and into Liaojiagou, so that the river water washed away the evils.

The wolf's head felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a huge force pushed him back nearly a foot. He looked down at the tail of the featherless arrow, the strength of his whole body was peeling off, his consciousness gradually dissipated, and finally he was still incredible, "In Yangzhou City, there are still people who dare to do something to the wolf gang......"

Liu Wenxiu came out of the darkness and blew the hand crossbow in his hand, his face was expressionless, but his eyes showed contempt.

"What is the underground ruler of Yangzhou Mansion, vulnerable."

In the face of well-trained and well-equipped professional soldiers, the rabble of social people will certainly not be able to get on the stage.

"Jiu'an Grain Company captures the thieves who set fire to the murder, and avoids irrelevant people, so as not to hurt the innocent."

Liu Wenxiu changed his face as peaceful as an old farmer in the past, revealing a rare hideousness.

"What is the use of the army? Protect your own people from harm. How can I protect my family from harm? Do you wait until the enemy kills you to defend yourself? Taking the initiative is the best defense. ”

Liu Wenxiu finally won this opportunity to enter Yangzhou. Thinking about Zhu Shunming's arguments about the army, Liu Wenxiu finally showed the tough and aggressive side of his character. The war against the underground forces of Yangzhou City began bloodily.
