[Chapter Word Count:3196 Last Updated:2015-03-0109:00:00.0]

September 5th

Shendao Town is worthy of being the most prosperous town in the province, where the Xiangjiang River and the Youshui River converge, and the land leads to the four provinces, a typical waterway important place.

No wonder Wang Shihua has always been obsessed with it, and Zhangjiabao is absolutely insignificant compared to it. There are more than 2,000 storefronts alone. Although the Xiao family, which is known as worth hundreds of millions, is the only one, there are three with tens of millions of assets, eighteen with millions of assets, and at least hundreds of hundreds of families worth hundreds of thousands...... In this era, such a prosperous place is absolutely rare.

Not to mention Wang Shihua's self-proclaimed bandit idea of 'either not doing it, or doing it once, at least let the Wang family eat for a year and a half', seeing such prosperity and such a place where rich families gather, who doesn't have a strong desire to loot it?

What's more, although the armed forces protecting this place claim to have a battalion, they are actually about 400 people, all of whom are supported by money from various stores, and call themselves the Shendao Battalion. However, their equipment is absolutely elite, and they even have two small steel cannons.

For the real big powers, this is not a big deal. The government and the four major families secretly and wholeheartedly defended it, which is the real reason why outsiders dare not invade, and only then did Shendao Town live a peaceful life for nearly a hundred years.

There are two wharves in Shendao Town: the east one is called Shendao Wharf, and the west one is called Sanjiang Wharf. However, because it was too prosperous, the ships came and went like crucians crossing the river, covering the surface of the river. At any given time, you can board a boat from one pier to another.

During the day, the sound of the trumpet, shouting, and scolding of the boat formed the sound of prosperity. The figures of porters, merchants stopping to communicate, and the three religions and nine streams shuttling between them, constitute a prosperous scene during the day.

At night, the lights are bright, and at night, the fishermen (prostitutes specializing in water business) sing and solicit, drink and fist, and ** are endless.

Over the centuries, time has passed, but what has not changed is its prosperity. Like the heart, between getting on and off the ship, between the transports, drops of blood are collected and passed through the huge transit station of Guò, dispersing the goods to the four surrounding provinces and beyond.

Early this morning, three galleons came from afar, looking no different from other cargo ships, but many of the sturdy men on board knelt on the board and wept excitedly when they saw the dock getting closer and closer. The old man standing on the bow of the boat, his eyes were red, his lips trembled, and his face was full of smiles.

"Lang'er, although we have gone through a lot of hardships on this long journey, we have finally completed our merits and survived. Now, what I want to say is that everyone can't be happy too early, and the more this time, the more you can't relax, cheer me up and protect the goods. The family is looking forward to this batch of goods, if there is a mistake and falls short, there is no need for the head of the family to blame, I will take you directly to jump into the river...... When the goods are delivered to your home, I will invite you to go to the best restaurant and get drunk for three days, and find the best girl to sleep for three days! ”

The crowd applauded.

"Uncle Jiang, will you get drunk for three days first, or sleep with a girl for three days?"

Such jokes naturally caused everyone to laugh.

Uncle Jiang was also happy, stroked his beard and laughed: "Come together!" Drunk while sleeping with a girl. Ha! Ha ......"

Although Xue Renfeng is only one word different from Xue Rengui, it cannot be compared: one is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and the other is the boss of the ruffians and hooligans.

Xue Renfeng's cousin Xue Chengye is the mayor of Shendao Town, relying on this relationship, in the name of collecting taxes from the government, he exploited coolies and merchants on the Sanjiang Wharf, that is, the kind of ** force that everyone sees in movies and television, commonly known as the sitting tiger.

Last night I played mahjong with someone all night, lost more than 400 oceans, angry he was distressed and annoyed, he didn't even sleep, came to the dock early in the morning, smoked on the second floor of a stilted building by the dock, and wondered who the loss should be counted on.

Coincidentally, Uncle Jiang arrived with the three ships of goods. Their laughter was too loud and too excited, which attracted Xue Renfeng's attention.

Xue Chengye has been the mayor of the town for five years, and Xue Renfeng has been the overlord of the dock for five years, and he has already figured out the doorway of the waterway dock in a few years...... To be honest, Uncle Jiang and the others are indeed a little careless: it is normal for the traveler to be excited when he returns, but if he returns with three ships of goods, on the other hand, there is only one meaning: Lao Tzu returns to his hometown in fine clothes - fat sheep!

"Li San, you take someone to see what kind of goods they are transporting."

A tall and thin man next to him stood up and nodded yes, but did not leave, waiting.

Sure enough, Xue Renfeng took a sharp puff of two large cigarettes, and after satisfying his addiction to cigarettes a little, he said lightly: "No matter what the people, detain their goods first, hand over five hundred oceans and then release them." ”

"Yes!"

For such casual blackmail, several people next to him were accustomed to it and didn't care.

Seeing Wang Shihua with a group of guards standing on the dock with a smile on his face, Uncle Jiang's tense heart finally let go.

The pier is about 30 meters away from the street and has a total of 58 steps.

Uncle Jiang, who was standing at the bow of the boat, was about to clasp his fists and salute excitedly, but he didn't think about it, and killed more than a dozen guys from the side, holding fast guns, wearing tax clothes, and his eyes were like seeing a fat sheep, and they all shouted: "Don't get off the boat, don't get off the boat......"

Wang Shihua's eyes suddenly turned cold, and when the two dogs around him saw it, they took out their guns and were about to take people down, but Wang Shihua grabbed them: "Let's see what they want to do first." ”

Uncle Jiang's brows furrowed slightly, and the people around him first looked at him in disbelief, and then they all ran into the cabin in a rage - the guns were all there. Uncle Jiang hurriedly turned around and shook his head to stop it: he accompanied all the smiling faces and said all the good things along the way, and there was no way to go out. But when he was about to get home, how could he fall into the prestige of the Wang family, not to mention, Wang Shihua was watching from there. But he was scheming, just like Wang Shihua thought, curious about what kind of person he was, and dared to fight the Wang family's idea.

"Whoever is the owner of the goods, come down and speak." Li San shouted at the boat viciously, but he didn't realize that he and the others were already in the middle of Wang Shihua and Uncle Jiang.

Putting down the plank, Uncle Jiang walked down with a smile, hugged his fist, and was about to report the door, but the other party took out the box cannon, intentionally or unintentionally at Uncle Jiang, and asked disdainfully: "You are the owner of the goods?" ”

Uncle Jiang has been the big housekeeper for decades, when someone dared to point a gun at him, his heart was furious, his face sank, and he nodded slightly.

Li San was also displeased: Lao Tzu was unlucky, he was sent by the boss early in the morning to extort bamboo sticks, and he was the kind of one who did not bring any benefits. Seeing that Uncle Jiang's face was not good, he became even more angry, pointed the gun at Uncle Jiang's head, and shouted: "Lao Tzu is too lazy to talk nonsense with you, either leave a shipload of goods, or pay a tax of five hundred oceans, you choose." ”

"My boat is full of rice, it's not worth so much money, is it?" At this time, the ocean has not depreciated in Xiangxi, and Jiangyin County has had a good year for two consecutive years, and three boats of rice here are worth more than 400 oceans.

"I asked you what kind of goods you are? I only ask you to deliver or pay...... Ah~! You have a problem with your braincase, don't you? I actually laughed...... Scold! Scold! Lao Tzu has eaten dock rice for so many years, and I met ...... for the first time."

"If I say that he doesn't pay a penny, but asks you to pay him money, I don't know if you are willing to do it?"

"Who the fuck is so much...... Many...... Yes! Someone dared to interrupt his words, which made Li San, who was in a bad mood, even more angry. scolded and turned around, but was stunned to find that he and his subordinates had been made dumplings, a tall young man was sneering and looking at him, and there was a giant standing behind him, who was aiming a light machine gun at himself, and at a glance he knew that this group of people had a great background. The frightened Li Sangao screamed, wanting to please a smile, but he couldn't laugh, it was even more ugly than crying, and said embarrassedly: "Who are you?" ”

But I saw a big bald man with a meaty face walking up to him in two steps, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him over, facing him, the tips of his noses were less than half an inch apart.

"My brother asked you, do you pay the money?" Wang Shirong's triangular eyes flashed with fierce light, and in the roar, Li San's face was full of spittle.

This is really the wicked who have their own wicked grinding! Li San, who was still arrogant just now, immediately wilted when he faced Wang Shirong, who knew at a glance that he was a fierce and fierce person. Not to mention looking at each other, he didn't even dare to wipe the saliva on his face, and his mouth trembled: "I...... I ......"

"What am I? Don't talk to me anymore, do you want to pay or not? After yelling, he suddenly found that the gun in Li San's right hand was trembling, Wang Shirong grabbed Li San's right hand, clubbed his muzzle on his head, and shouted: "Okay!" Dare to shoot me...... Don't say that I Wang Shirong didn't give you a chance, come, fight here! ”

The conscience of heaven and earth, Li San really didn't have any intention of moving the gun, the reason why this was the case was just to subconsciously clench the gun to seek a sense of spiritual security.

"Do you want to fight? Hurry up! ”

Unless it's a problem with the brain, who would be stupid enough to shoot at this time? Don't you see those dozens of spearmen staring at you, if you pull the trigger, you will definitely be beaten into a sieve in the next second.

"Something that doesn't have eggs." Two seconds later, Wang Shirong scolded, snatched the gun from Li San's hand, put the muzzle of the gun on Li San's head with his backhand, and shouted: "If you don't fight, I'll fight!" ”

"Smack!"

A gunshot rang out, and Li San plunged headlong into the river, blood gurgling and gurgling to the water. I'm afraid Li San won't be able to figure it out until he dies: how can there be such a tyrannical and murderous person in the world.

"Shirong, wait a ......minute" Everyone knows that Wang Shirong has a murderous nature, but he didn't expect that he would also kill people without warning outside. Wang Shihua couldn't stop it, so he had to finish it: he looked back at the stilted building, and said to the second dog: "Arrest all the people inside for me." ”

This is Wang Shihua's head of the family: no matter what the reason, since you have done it, then do it to the end, and decide right or wrong with strength!

Gunshots rang out, and the people fled screaming.

Ergouzi took out his gun, beckoned to the top of the dock, and then pointed to the stilted building, and immediately dozens of guards rushed down and quickly surrounded the stilted building.

"Shirong! Your murderous nature really needs to be changed. ”

"What's the change? What you said was that you didn't kill the common people. ”

Wang Shihua was speechless.

At this time, the most difficult thing is the people who are called tax soldiers who are actually ruffians and hooligans who are guarding the stilted building. In the face of Wang Shihua's large number of people, they wanted to surrender but did not dare to surrender first because of Xue Renfeng's usual majesty; I want to escape, but I can't bear it. Fortunately, the second dog made the decision for them......
