"Don't worry, there must be a wolf in this gang, but it's not a big deal. In fact, there is no difference between a merchant and a robber who comes out to do business. When you have a business, you do business, and when you don't have a business, you grab things. There is no king's law at sea, fists are the truth, how can anyone go to sea without a knife. Not only do they rob others, but they also get angry with themselves, which is a common thing. But as long as they go ashore, they will abide by the rules, and everyone understands this rule. ”

Ryan has been in the Yamen of the City for many years, and he has been dealing with these businessmen for a long time, so he still has some knowledge. "When they get the gift back, they will also encounter robbers to rob them, and if their own strength is not strong, they are guaranteed to be eaten without even the dregs. Therefore, the envoys who came to us here, more or less, have a certain combat power, and a group of weak chickens have long been swallowed. But they had no weapons in their hands, and they were few in number. The one who fought against the Ouchi family was the Hosokawa clan, and their family's envoys were also in Ningbo. There are more than a hundred of these people, and if they really fight, they must be on our side. With more than 300 people to fight more than 100 people, plus the officers and soldiers, those who have no problems in their brains know that they can't win, don't worry. ”

"Xianggong, since the benefactor has orders, I think it's better to be careful." Although Xue smiled like a bride, holding Yang Chengzu's hand tightly, his brain was not completely broken. At this time, he still spoke decisively, and Ryan hurriedly nodded yes

"What Madame said is that the slave and maid will not forget the benefactor's command. When I turn around, I will go and talk to Yuan Ban, and ask him to mobilize all his men and keep an eye on those widows for me. It's a pity that there are too few people in our Ningbo Jinyi Hundred Households, and if there are enough people, we can keep an eye on those widows. ”

Although Yang Chengzu is Ryan's benefactor, as soon as the other party surrendered, he went to point fingers and assign work according to the other party's head, which is not a cooperative attitude. What he can do is only to point to the point, this is not his home field, and it is impossible to really go past the local government and arrange work arbitrarily. Doing so will inevitably not give face to the local government, and may even cause a strong backlash.

reminded the importance of guarding against the Japanese invaders, and also sent people to make the necessary arrangements, according to Yang Chengzu, he could do enough. If you emphasize it any more, it will inevitably make Ryan feel that he doesn't trust him, and he just slept with his wife, which is not good. Although I still couldn't let go of it in my heart, I still nodded

"I know that Grandpa Lai is a capable person, in short, you have a snack on this matter, as long as there is no problem in Ningbo, I can speak for you. If someone wants to move your place, I won't sit idly by. ”

When Ryan heard this promise, he finally sighed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and even called his own three-room concubine to pay homage to the benefactor. The family sent Yang Chengzu out and got into the carriage, and Ryan looked at his wife's face gradually becoming less good-looking, "I asked you to serve Engong because I wanted you to be here, how did you get to our bedroom." How can I sleep at night when you toss like this? ”

Although the Xue family has some talents and holds some authority at home, they have always mainly maintained Ryan's authority, and they are counted as hundreds of obedient types. But at this time, she showed a contemptuous smile: "How to sleep?" The benefactor agreed, and in a few days he would come to his house and look for me...... Drink. If you want to sleep with me, you can't do anything anyway. But if you want to play any tricks, think about it yourself, and what will happen to you if I tell the benefactor. ”

After saying that, she gently unbuckled the buckle, revealing her white neck and the bright kiss marks on it. It was as if a soldier was showing off his scars and walked triumphantly to the bedroom. Ryan was left there, throwing pieces of fine porcelain to the ground and smashing them to pieces.

After the time passed, and gradually in late March, the sea god sacrifice was successfully completed. Ningbo is a port city, and the economy of the whole city is basically inseparable from maritime trade, and for them, the god of the sea is the god who has the greatest influence on them. The significance of the Poseidon Festival to Ningbo is actually greater than that of the Spring Festival. Every year at the Poseidon Festival, the Chamber of Commerce wants to raise a sum of money to repair the temple for the concubine, shape the golden body, and do a few ceremonies to pray for peace and safety.

In addition to the daily sacrificial content, there is a temple fair afterwards, which is paid by the maritime merchants, and the government comes forward to maintain order and enjoy with the people, and the scene is very lively. As usual, these temple fairs attract a bunch of people to perform various performances or find other opportunities to make a fortune. Yang Ji's opera troupe also showed their faces at this temple fair, performing Peking Opera martial arts such as eight sledgehammers and picking pulleys.

These acting women not only look good, but also have some martial arts foundation, which has attracted a lot of attention and has also done a very good promotion for Yang Ji.

Unlike cities like Nanjing, port cities are open, trendy, and inclusive, and it is easy to accept things like women's theater troupes. In fact, in this city, there are many shops where women come out to do business, men go out to run the sea, women go out to do business, and the atmosphere is more civilized than Nanjing.

In a silk village, Hao Qingqing and Zhizhi were picking up silk, and a pleasant-looking female shopkeeper was waiting diligently. The shopkeeper knew that Hao Qingqing was a relative of Lord Yang's mansion who presided over the sea sacrifice, and Master Yang was a close friend of Ningbo Emperor Lai Gonggong, not an existence that he could offend, so he naturally didn't say anything about his attitude. Dozens of new horses of silk were brought out for the master and servant to choose from.

A little girl with a bun on her head jumped out from behind, looking at Hao Qingqing and Zhizhi with curiosity, and after a while, she had the audacity to pull the corners of Zhizhi's clothes. The female shopkeeper ran over and reprimanded the little girl, "Four girls, why don't you stay in your room and come out to disturb the guests?" Believe it or not, swollen your P shares! ”

Hao Qingqing hurriedly stopped her, picked up the little girl who was about to cry, and kissed her on the little cheek. "Such a cute girl, how can she be willing to fight? Does it hurt or can't it hurt? Your name is Four Girls, isn't it? I also have a daughter, called Sanchou, but younger than you, if she grows up to your age, I will teach her to practice boxing, and let her beat her sisters all over the ground looking for teeth! Come, call Aunt Qing, Aunt will give you money to buy candy to eat. ”

With this child, the distance between the shopkeeper and Hao Qingqing was shortened, and the two sides talked for more than half an hour, chatting about the child and their father-in-law, and when they left, they picked a few silk horses and threw down a few silver ingots.

When he went out, a ragged beggar suddenly pounced on Zhizhi, shouting "Got it, you got it?" ”

But before he could get forward, four strong guards blocked him like a wall, and then a heavy punch hit the tall beggar in the lower abdomen, curling him up like a shrimp, and the four bodyguards drove him to the corner of the wall, and knocked him head and face with fists and kicks.

Hao Qingqing looked over there, looked back and said, "Got it, I heard that beggar just now, it seems to be calling you?" Listening to the accent, it's a bit like an old family, do you want to go and see it? ”

I knew that I was holding more than a dozen gifts from the female shopkeeper in my arms, although it was not heavy, but it took up a lot of space, and I almost blocked my face. As he walked, he said, "Miss, I guess you heard it wrong." Our hometown is so far away from this, how can there be fellow villagers, and even if there is, if you don't go to Yang Ji to work and have to be a beggar, you must be a second-rate child, and it's useless to see it. ”

"That's right, it's not interesting to see it. I said, why are you still so powerless, I teach you to practice kung fu, you have to really practice, if you don't practice well, you won't be able to serve the prime minister for a long time. You must hold on to it for a longer time today, otherwise you will be unhappy. If he gets tired of going back and wants to be replaced, don't say I won't help you. ”

"Miss...... Why do you talk about everything outside...... That kung fu...... I've always practiced, and even if I die tonight, I'll stick to it. ”

The two whispered and walked towards the carriage, not paying attention to the beggar who was beaten by the bodyguards. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the smell of the wind grew stronger...... It's going to rain.
