"This is the Zhang family's private dock, you are not allowed to get close, get out of here!"

"You are too domineering, the government has announced that there is no private dock here, why do you still occupy it?"

"Why? Just because my master is a court master, what do you want? Whoever dares to approach the dock, I will overturn his ship! ”

........

The sound of the quarrel was faintly visible, and when I turned a corner, the situation in the dock and the river was suddenly clear.

Although it is called a grain wharf, it is actually composed of four wharves, which can dock eight grain ships to unload goods at the same time, three of which are parked with unloading ships, while the other wharf is empty, but the river is crowded, and at least two or three hundred ships are densely lined up in the river, waiting to unload the full grain bales.

The quarrel was to get on the ship from the empty dock, and several grain ships wanted to get close to unload, but there were five or six big men standing on the dock, holding ash sticks, and the momentum was menacing, led by a middle-aged man, who was thin and small, but had a very loud voice, and a pair of triangular eyes looked particularly cunning.

He stood on the dock and glared at a few ships that wanted to get closer, apparently they didn't have any boats, otherwise even empty ships would fill the dock and not give other grain ships a chance.

Fanning frowned and asked, "What's going on with that dock?" I remember that not long ago, I signed a government decree prohibiting the illegal occupation of commercial terminals. ”

When Yang Du was in power, the grain, tea and salt wharves in Songcheng County were monopolized by the Zhang family, and the market was monopolized by monopolizing the wharf.

After Fan Ning overthrew Yang Du, the first government decree was to abolish the private monopoly of commercial docks, why is the Zhang family still resisting the order?

Fan Ning was not in a hurry to step forward, but said to Zhang Bo: "You go and find out the situation, is that wharf built by the Zhang family themselves?" ”

Zhang Bo nodded and walked forward quickly.

He went to other wharves to inquire about the situation, and came back after a short time to report: "Fujun, the four grain wharves here are all built by the government, and the Zhang family was forced to give up three, but they still monopolize one of them, whoever dares to use it, they will threaten with violence, very arrogant!" ”

Fan Ning snorted, and slowly stepped forward with his hands in his hand, he was not wearing an official uniform, but was dressed as a scribe, wearing a gauze hat, wearing a white satin scholar's robe, a leather belt around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand, looking polite.

He came to the dock and pointed to the steward and several big men with a folding fan and said, "The government has issued a ban on private affairs at the wharf, and you dare to resist the order, and you are too bold." ”

The steward didn't know Fanning, he glanced at Fanning, and a cold breath erupted from his nose, "You sour Confucian, you don't go to study and prepare for exams, you come here to talk nonsense, and if you dare to talk nonsense, you will break your arm, so that you can't hold a pen or write!" ”

"Why are you unreasonable, Lang Lang Qiankun actually dares to openly resist the law, do you think that the master is Zhang Yaozuo who can be rampant? This is Ying Tianfu, not Zhang Yaozuo's back garden! ”

When the steward heard this sour Confucian on the left and Zhang Yaozuo on the right, he was suddenly furious in his heart, and he shouted left and right: "Break one of his legs and throw him into the river!" ”

The first strong man jumped ashore and struck Fanning with a stick, but the stick was still in the air, and there was a flash of cold light, 'Click! With a bang, the stick was split into two pieces, and Zhu Long's four guards poured out from behind Fan Ning, and Zhu Long kicked the big man's chest, and his ribs were suddenly kicked and broken three times, and his body rose into the air, "Plop!" 'Fall into the river.

Several other big men who had just jumped ashore were so frightened that they took a step back and froze for a moment.

Fanning's face turned cold, and he shouted: "Kick me all into the river!" ”

The martial arts of the four guards are not inferior to Xu Qing, Zhu Long's martial arts are even higher than Xu Qing, where are several big men their opponents, three punches and two kicks, several big men have been beaten overboard.

The steward was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he pointed at Fan Ning and trembled: "I.... I am the seventh steward of Taishi Zhang's mansion, you.... What kind of person is it, dare to pinch .... Brush the tiger beard of Taishi Zhang? Be careful... Beware of your life! ”

Fan Ning saw that he was trembling with fright, but he still had a hard mouth, and couldn't help but snort: "Slap him ten times and throw him into the river!" ”

Zhu Long strode forward, grabbed the steward's neck, carried him in the air, and then waved the big slap of the pu fan, crackled and slapped his face, and after ten slaps, I saw that his cheeks were swollen, his mouth was bleeding, and most of his teeth were lost.

Fan Ning said coldly to an entourage: "Go and inform Gu Changwu that the Zhangjia grain shop openly resisted the ban of the government and attempted to violently attack the imperial court officials, and confiscate all the grain shops of the Zhang family for me!" ”

Fanning eventually attacked Zhang Yaozuo's grain shop on the grounds of 'openly confronting the government and violently attacking the officials', as hundreds of people on the dock can testify.

........

Directly facing Zhang Yaozuo head-on, it seems a little irrational, easy to ignite, but everything has its two sides, just as the risk is big, the benefit is also great, if Zhang Yaozuo completely confesses in Ying Tianfu this time, it will greatly enhance Fan Ning's prestige in Zhao Zongshi's faction, after all, he has been worried at home for three years, which has a great impact on his reputation, and he needs to do one thing to enhance the attention of the government and the opposition to himself.

Ying Tianfu is undoubtedly a good platform, it is not as sensitive as the capital, and it cannot easily make acts that restrict commerce, and at the same time, Zhang Yaozuo is also beyond the reach of the corresponding Tianfu, and cannot do whatever he wants like the capital.

On the other hand, Yingtianfu is not far from the Shangao Emperor, it is very close to the capital, and the news will soon reach the capital, once Zhang Yaozuo is completely overthrown in Yingtianfu, it will also weaken his influence in the capital.

There is another additional effect, that is, the pressure on Zhao Qian, Fan Ning wants to know how much influence Zhao Qian has in Ying Tianfu?

At noon, Fan Ning came to Songzhou Restaurant on time for a banquet, and the second floor of Songzhou Restaurant was wrapped up by Zhao Qian at noon today.

Yingtianfu, as the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, lives many descendants of the founding heroes, and even some of the clansmen of the Later Zhou Chai family also live here, and the mansion that Fan Ning currently rents is actually the house of Chai Jing, the great-grandson of the Later Zhou Chai Zongxun, but he doesn't want people to know, and the Liu family of the family comes forward to lease it.

Fan Ning took Zhu Long and the four of them to Songzhou Restaurant, Zhao Qian greeted him when he heard the news, and said with a smile: "If Governor Fan doesn't come again, I will go to the government in person to invite me." ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Something happened temporarily, come a little late, please forgive me." ”

Zhao Qian's face was slightly unnatural, and he said with a dry smile: "But what about Zhang's grain shop? ”

"The news is very fast! I only sealed it in the morning, so you got the news at noon? ”

"The whole city is in a sensation, how could I not know, this matter ......"

Fan Ning didn't give him a chance to speak, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Today we won't talk about official business, we will have a good time!" ”

Zhao Qian was secretly annoyed in his heart, he invited himself to dinner at noon, and Fan Ning seized Zhang Yaozuo's grain shop in the morning, obviously not giving himself face, so what did the guests at the banquet think, did they still think that they wanted to discard Zhang Yaozuo?

Zhao Qian tried his best to hide the embarrassment in his heart, and introduced a group of guests to Fan Ning, and finally came to a tall and fat old man.

"This is the official of Ningling County, the Chai family has a great influence in our Ying Tianfu, and it will be helpful to Governor Fan in the future."

This Chai official is Chai Jing, he is the grandson of Chai Yongxiao, the third son of Chai Zongxun of Emperor Zhou Gong, how could Fan Ning not know him, he is his own landlord!

Chai Jing was a very funny and hearty old man, he winked at Fan Ning, and said with a smile: "Fu Jun did another very happy thing today!" ”

With this sentence alone, Fan Ning had a good impression of him, and it is estimated that the Chai family was also bullied by Zhang Yaozuo, and they have always dared to be angry and dare not speak.

It is indeed the case, the Chai family also has a lot of industries in Yingtianfu, such as the current Songzhou restaurant is the Chai family's industry, and the Chai family also does tea business.

After Fan Ning strongly abolished the market monopoly of Zhang and Yang a month ago, the Chai family quickly attacked, resumed the tea market, opened three grain shops at the same time, and competed for a wine license, so I heard that Zhao Qian invited Fan Ning to a banquet, he reversed his posture of not attending the banquet and accepted the invitation, which seemed to give Zhao Qian face, but in fact it was to give Fan Ning face.

Zhao Qian heard him mean and his face was a little embarrassed, but Fan Ning smiled slightly: "If they do their duty, the government will not interfere in the market, but they have to work against the Yingtian government, that is, they are challenging the authority of the imperial court, and it is it itself that wants to find death, no wonder me!" “

Zhao Qian's face was really a little unbearable, he endured it again and again, and said loudly: "Everyone please come to the table for dinner, we won't say more!" ”
