Chapter 495: Seeing Blood and Seeking Peace
Originally, I thought that I would flee to the city if there was something, and it would be safe there, but I didn't expect that there was such a danger in the city, and I didn't dare to go back to the city for a while.
The Feng family's house has good feng shui and good location, the backyard gate is adjacent to the street, the street is near the river, the weeping willows and green lands by the river, the scenery is very beautiful, and there are also a few good hands on this side leading a group of people to guard.
Different from the ease of the previous days, after the murder, everyone became nervous, even Feng Bao, who has always been prestigious, is also a lot more diligent, and after he was taught to scold him, he hurriedly patrolled every day.
"These rich tycoons are cowardly, even if there are thieves who want to do it, how dare they come to this house, all the small and hundreds of people before and after, as well as the poor people of the official family, come over and throw themselves into the net!"
"The one who did it was also the big guy, so what Zhao Jin in Xuzhou had a lot of deaths in his hands."
"That's what I mean, you think, Zhao Jin has such a big situation, he must be proficient in this set, how can he be so reckless"
In the middle of the night, the boats were moored on the river, and only two lanterns were hung in the bow and stern, but there was a boat in the river that seemed to be on fire from the middle, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a brazier, and then a few flames rose from the brazier, and it looked like a trick, and more and more people looked at it.
At that moment, the flames that floated up flew violently into the air, and by this time, someone finally understood what was going on, for they heard a sound, the sound of arrows whizzing through the air.
"Someone shoots arrows, someone shoots rockets!" The people who reacted screamed loudly, and another round of arrows was fired from the ship.
Some people shouted and rushed to the shore, there were also boats over there, just halfway through, arrows whistled and fired, although there was no accuracy in the night, but there were so many people, there were lanterns and torches on the shore, it was not difficult to shoot, one person screamed and was hit by the arrow, and the others scattered in a hurry.
The boat in the river did not stop for long, and three rounds were fired, and the brazier was lifted directly into the river, and immediately it was so dark that nothing could be seen.
There are firewood rooms and warehouses in the backyard of the Feng family, and there are also some sundries stacked in the open air, but the manpower is also sufficient, and according to the regulations of large mansions, each yard has a large tank filled with water, just to set fire, a total of more than a dozen rockets can't light any fire at all, that is, a wooden frame is unlucky, and no one cares about it.
The rest of the fire was either extinguished by itself, or waited for the firefighters to come out to extinguish it, and there was no harm to the Feng family.
Although there is no loss of property, the Feng family is panicked, this night, up to the old lady down to the maid, almost all of them are crying, the men are trembling and dressed and waiting, as soon as there is something to do, they have to run, and there are even people who leave the house overnight, unwilling to stay in this mansion, to be placed in peacetime, it is much more noble to be an errand inside than outside, and now no one can take care of this.
It wasn't until the next day that the government and county government sent a large number of people over, and the whole family was shocked for a while, and when they asked about the ship that shot the arrow last night, whether it was their own guards or the officials sent them, they all told them clearly that it was impossible to find them.
The river inside and outside the city of Yangzhou is crisscrossed, and I don't know how many boats there are on the road, and the boat wants to be moored on the shore, so there is no way to find it, not to mention that the black light was blind last night, and I wanted to find the boat after more than two hours.
The old lady of the Feng family, Feng Jinfa, fell ill the next day, which made the Feng family panic again, but the old lady Feng has always been awake, in addition to Lang Zhong, the Feng family also invited several colleagues to come over to talk.
Yangzhou salt industry, the Feng family has been dominant for nearly 40 years, there has never been another salt merchant in his eyes, and he concentrates on the official face, and he does not have much contact with other people, but this time he changed his previous style, which surprised everyone, and people who are interested can also notice that these colleagues who were invited to the past went to Xuzhou a few days ago, and everyone was worried that these people would be suppressed by the Feng family, but they did not expect to become guests.
After these peers came out of the Feng family, before everyone had time to inquire about anything with them, these people hurriedly led people north.
Contacting what the Feng family has encountered these days, and contacting these things before and after, everyone can roughly guess what to do, and the Feng family asked for peace.
The Feng family has a big business, why bother to fight with the martial artists in Xuzhou to maintain the business of Yangzhou, that is, how many years of endless glory and wealth, why dance with knives and guns, and pay for the lives of their own children? Everyone thinks that the Feng family should do this.
When the people who sued for peace were on the road, Li Dajin and the people who brought them to Yangzhou were on the boat, and the boat went north along the canal and changed at Qingjiangpu, and the horses of Li Dajin and his people were parked in an inn in Qingjiangpu.
When everyone went south together, the people from Xuzhou who were assigned to Li Dajin did not have a very good attitude, Li Dajin led the Feng family's armed forces and fought a few battles with Xuzhou, and there were many casualties among each other, and there were always new hatreds and old grudges.
But after those things were done in Yangzhou, Li Dajin's planning, Li Dajin's martial arts, and his ruthlessness were all very appetizing to this group of Jianghu people, and the effect was also good, beheading the Feng family's concubine, and setting fire to the Feng family's mansion, this is all credit.
"Brother Li, the Feng family's house is big, but all we can guard is a bunch of straw bales, we can't wait any longer, find a time to kill it, if we can cut off the heads of the Feng family's old dogs and puppies, it will be a great credit!" Staying on the boat was boring, and a group of people gathered in the cabin to gossip, many people in the rivers and lakes were sent out on business trips by Zhao Jin for the first time, and they were quite unsatisfied.
Li Dajin sat in the center of the cabin, with no expression on his face, but said in a deep voice: "The guards outside are all gangsters in the club, but there are quite some good hands inside, there are guards who have stayed in Nanjing Xungui's mansion, and there are people who have beaten Fanzi in the past, as well as the nursing home that the Feng family has practiced by themselves, if there is a dart master in the dart game, we can't touch it!" ”
Everyone is silent, the gangsters are a rabble, but with the next few people, it will be a big trouble, and these people led by Li Dajin are even at a disadvantage in numbers.
"Brother Li, the higher the position of the person you killed in the Feng family, the more reliable your name will be," someone couldn't help but remind.
Li Dajin leaned against the bulkhead and smiled, and said slowly: "I see what Jin Ye means, I don't want to be completely inseparable, I should still want to talk about it, after all, now Jin Ye can't destroy the Feng family, if you really want to kill the characters of his long family, I'm afraid there will be no need to talk about it." ”
"Then will the Feng family continue to retaliate?"
"Yes, but not recently, he has tried almost everything he can try, and the Feng family is just a businessman after all, in order to make money, he will not always spend on fighting life and death, since he can't win the master, then he can only make peace."
These words made these Jianghu people unexpected, thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense, and they didn't continue silently, Li Dajin just glanced at it, among the people who came with him, three of them must be Zhao Jin's eyeliner, but I don't know if what he did could satisfy Zhao Jin.
Perhaps seeing the gains and losses on Li Dajin's face, someone smiled and said with relief: "Brother Li, you are the right person to come to our Xuzhou, you are full of food and clothing, and you will be rewarded for your merits, and we who dance knives and guns, that is, we are really regarded as a person on the side of Jinye, and we are treated as dogs in other places!" ”
"And good wine!" Someone made a playful remark, and everyone in the cabin laughed.
The boat went to Qingjiangpu to change horses, and then the speed was fast, all the way back to Xuzhou, but the boat sailed in the canal, the speed was slow, they set off earlier than those Yangzhou salt merchants, but arrived in Xuzhou later than these people, because these people usually enjoy, directly riding north, seeking is a fast word, Feng Jinfa and Feng Shaoxian please their things are too urgent, as long as they do a good job, they can change favors on Zhao Jin's side, and they can also get benefits on the Feng family's side.
When I saw Zhao Jin again, the attitude of the salt merchants was more respectful than last time, and a little more sincere, Zhao Jin had proved his strength in front of them, and now Zhao Jin proved that he could reach out to Yangzhou, and he could directly kill people and set fire to Feng's house, and there was no harm in being respectful to such a character.
"Old lady Feng asked the master to make conditions, and the old lady Feng said that the Feng family needs to be fed, and there are so many old relationships in the official face and private to be maintained, and please let go of the master's hands, don't kill them all at once." The name of the messenger is Wang Wanmu, and his net worth in the Yangzhou salt industry can be regarded as the top 20.
Zhao Jin, who heard this, smiled, this smile was not because of pride, but because of the appreciation of this old lady Feng's sense of proportion, "the old relationship between the official face and the private one", this is not to complain, but a threat, which shows that the Feng family is not without the strength to fight back.
However, this old lady of the Feng family has a lot of hands, and there are no restrictions on the conditions, just ask Zhao Jin to open it within the measure.
"The salt of the Feng family in the salt market, I want to smoke sixty percent, and I will not be harassed in a few villages in Huai'an Mansion in the future, as soon as something happens, I will think that the Feng family did it, and everything we talk about will not be counted at that time, in addition, in Pizhou and Suining County, Huai'an Prefecture, the Feng family will all withdraw from the company, and the storefront business house will be folded out to me."
Hearing Zhao Jin's conditions, that Wang Wanmu also nodded frequently, the salt market is sixty percent, the Feng family will still make money, and those few villages will not touch if they don't touch it, and those storefront firms Zhao Jin's bid price is seven percent off, and it is not a loss to deduct what the Feng family has earned for so many years.
"Well, let's let the fast horse go back to deliver the message, and there will be a reply in a few days." Wang Wanmu does things for others, and there is no stake involved, and what he promised is simply neat.
Wang Wanmu was not ranked in the salt industry in Yangzhou, but when he grew up, he married the only daughter of the governor of Guangdong by chance, and took over the huge family business.
"The timing of this election is good, it is a critical time for the party struggle between the DPRK and China, the one he is relying on has been pulled up, but the two Feng family are relying on are stormy and unscrupulous, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, how dare they erect foreign enemies again"
