Chapter 446: The Salt Gang
"Oh no, get over it! It seems that something has happened over there, let's hurry over, if something happens on the dock, Second Master Liu will not let us go! ”
A group of hooligans who were being chased and beaten by Zhao Sanpao and Cheng Chubi suddenly seemed to think of something terrifying, and they didn't care about Li Yuanba and the others, so they rushed towards the cargo dock over there.
Before leaving, a few peelers also glanced at Li Yuanba and them, moved a huge wooden fence from not far away, and glared at Li Yuanba and them viciously by the way.
The meaning in those eyes is obvious, this intersection is so big at the moment, if you guys know each other, it's best not to cross this wooden fence.
After dropping this look, the guys hurried towards the dock where the accident had happened.
In the same place, only Zhao Sanpao and Cheng Chubi stood in place stupidly, and Cheng Chubi's raised fist hadn't even had time to fall, after all, the two of them didn't know what was going on.
"Lord Wang, what should I do? Shall we just let them go? Cheng Chubi returned to Li Yuanba's side, his face full of depression.
To tell the truth, Cheng Chubi should have taken advantage of the most, because Liu Kenai is the nephew of Liu Erye in Guyun Village, and his status is the highest among these people.
Therefore, Cheng Chubi should be the coolest one.
"What if not? But we came at the right time, and we get into this kind of fun every time. ”
Li Yuanba laughed, which was quite a bit of schadenfreude.
"The prince is right, those guys deserve to be unlucky, what are we doing?"
Zhao Sanpao smiled and said.
"Alright, three cannons, hurry up and clear the barricades, let's take a look with us!" Li Yuanba glanced at Zhao Sanpao. Said.
"Okay!"
Zhao Sanpao responded, and then his whole body was like a bull from Spain, and he struggled towards the wooden fence with all his strength.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the spot, accompanied by the sound of gasping during the period, worthy of being the general of the Shenwu Guard, if you change to those Shenwu Guard soldiers behind, you may not be able to do this!
I saw that the wooden fence fell straight down, and although Zhao Sanpao was strong and huge, his skills were extremely agile.
I saw the wooden fence scattering in all directions. He rolled on the spot and stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "Lord, this road is open, let's go!" ”
Li Yuanba smiled and said, "Let's go see this farce together!" ”
……
At the Fengling Ferry, the movement on the edge of the dock where the boat is moored is really scary.
When Li Yuanba and the others hurried over there, there was a sudden shouting and shouting of killing from the cargo dock, and blood was thrown away between the swords and swords. There are countless broken arms and broken bodies.
"Is it pure revenge or a fight?"
Li Yuanba looked at the situation here in surprise, and suddenly pulled up a ruffian who looked quite strong, and said,
"Boy. Tell me what's going on at the cargo terminal, tell me, and I'll let you go! ”
The ruffian had just been smacked with a stick, and he was still a little dizzy. Perhaps frightened by Li Yuanba's posture that he could lift him up with one hand, he said in some shock:
"You...... Who are you? Aren't you here to cause trouble? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, what does our son-in-law ask you. You can answer honestly, otherwise, don't blame me for using some means against you! ”
Cheng Chubi clenched his fists and scolded fiercely.
"I, I don't know, it's supposed to be the robes of the Salt Gang who came to make trouble!" The strong man was frightened by the crackling sound of Cheng Chubi's fist, and hurriedly said quickly.
"The Salt Gang? Robe? What do you mean by that? Li Yuanba asked.
"Looks like you're not local!"
The ruffian glanced at Li Yuanba and his one hundred and tenth men, and said:
"The robes of the Salt Gang are the thugs under the Salt Gang. The high-level leaders of this salt gang have not looked at each other with our second master, so they often come to Fenglingdu to rob the cargo ships that arrived at the dock. ”
"It's Second Master Liu again, it's really ......" Li Yuanba shook his head and said, "What about the government, there are actually people from the Salt Gang who come to loot, so they don't care?" ”
"Tube? How to manage! The ruffian shook his head and said:
"Basically, the passing boats, whether they are official ships, private ships or passenger ships specially used to carry people, they have to collect money to cross the river, otherwise, these robes will be scuttled!"
"The Salt Gang, the Salt Gang...... Could it be that this salt gang is a salt seller? Li Yuanba's brows furrowed.
Li Yuanba also knows something about the famous salt gang in history, but the salt gang he knows has arisen in the Jianghuai River basin since the Han Dynasty, and the north and south generally go north to Mobei; The east and west generally follow the Yangtze River to the northwest Qinghai-Tibet region.
This salt gang is also a generation of wealthy businessmen or reckless people in the Jiangnan generation who traffic illicit salt together in order to make personal gains, and these people's trafficking gang is called the 'salt gang'.
"Not bad! This salt gang was indeed formed by those rich and tycoons who sold salt, but this group of people was not satisfied with just guarding that one acre and three points of land, they controlled thousands of people's subordinates, and they were as watery as fish, and no one really wanted to provoke them! ”
The ruffian grimaced, and said, "Speaking of which, in the past, they only interfered in the ships or merchants involved in the sale of salt, but now they have extended their hands to all the ships, basically once, we will have to lose countless brothers!" ”
Li Yuanba couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard this, and he wrinkled his brows and said, "If I'm not mistaken, isn't this Fenglingdu a dock opened by the imperial court?" You open and close your mouth to Liu Erye, the salt gang...... These guys are all bandits, you two groups really dare to confront the imperial court? ”
The ruffian grinned and said, "It seems that you are really a fool!" In our Jiangzhou, this day Emperor Gao is far away, who will take the imperial court seriously? Do you think that a piece of paper king's law can be used on one acre and three points of land like our Jiangzhou? Putting aside our second master Liu, the salt gang alone has been rampant in Jiangzhou for dozens or even hundreds of years. ”
"Hehe, it seems that the history of Jiangzhou and all the officials are all waste, and it really gives the court a long face!"
Although Li Yuanba's voice was cold, it was obviously full of murderous intent.
It seems that this time, in addition to Guyun Village, the disposal of this salt gang should also be on the agenda.
"Run, run!"
"This ...... What's going on here? ”
"Hurry up and ......"
……
As he was saying this, the shouts of killing on the other side of the dock became stronger and stronger, and even the travelers on the other side of the passenger ship were implicated, and they were so frightened that they jumped and fled in all directions.
Immediately afterward, several more ships capsized and sank, stirring up the Han River with huge waves.
"Dive, dive! Otherwise, we're all going to die here! ”
Suddenly, there was another shouting from the ship, causing even more noise and confusion.
Li Yuanba frowned, looking at the group of three or five hundred people in front of him:
There were three or four hundred of them, all dressed in fancy clothes, and holding steel knives and swords in their hands, or iron rods and meteor hammers...... In short, it is a miscellaneous display of all kinds of weapons.
And what about the guys who are fighting against each other? It was about a hundred or so men in black tights who looked extremely powerful, and all of them carried identical horizontal knives in their hands, fighting bravely and fearlessly.
It can be seen that compared to those ruffians and streams. Hooligans, these guys are much more organized and well-organized.
"These guys are pretty organized!"
Li Yuanba squinted at the guys who were uniformly dressed and armed, and said with a twinkle in his eyes,
"This is completely the regulation of the army, who is standing behind this salt gang? Dare to do these things so blatantly, and Jiangzhou Wei, it seems that it also needs to be cleaned up. ”
"Hmph, just those soft-footed shrimps, they have done it to our Guyun Village several times, and they haven't returned with the same feathers, and they don't have any fart, and they always flaunt how they are, it's really ridiculous!"
The ruffian said disdainfully, "You know, this whole Ann. The law and order in Yangyang County are all maintained by our people. Those guys of Yang...... Hehe! ”
When Li Yuanba was about to say a few words, the robes of the Salt Gang, who were slashing and slashing with those guys on the dock at this time, actually cut off the ropes used by those cargo ships to anchor after repelling the ruffians besieging them this time.
Then the tragedy came, the ropes on the cargo ships that had either not been unloaded or had not been opened at all were cut off, and at the same time, the cargo ships floated away.
You must know that at this time, there was no wind on the Han River, and many boats floated away, so frightened that the young men who were working as coolies and the fishermen on the boat all jumped off the boat.
"Puff, puff......"
The sound of a series of dives is endless, as if a fish jumps out of the water and falls on a rainy day.
"Damn, these robes are crazy, they actually pulled the whole boat towards Jiang Xin, don't they know that the things on these boats belong to Liu Sanye?"
Seeing those boats drifting towards the center of the river, the sturdy ruffian suddenly cursed.
"What's in there?"
Li Yuanba's heart suddenly moved and asked.
The ruffian's face was slightly stunned, and after struggling for a long time, he still said: "It's salt, these five boats are all salt!" ”
"Salt? It's impossible, this year's official salt is quantitative, hasn't this month's official salt just been issued, so how did this salt come from? ”
Li Yuanba quickly heard the flaw and said in a deep voice.
"Childe, there's only one possibility!" At this time, Zhao Sanpao walked up and said angrily.
"You mean......" Li Yuanba's eyes flashed, and he said, "Private salt? (To be continued......)
