After a while, as the carriage entered Yangzhou City, He Sisheng said: "Dong Weng, we have arrived in Yangzhou." ”

As soon as He Yan heard the curtain of the car, he saw Yangzhou City.

As the horse-drawn carriage entered the city, you could see all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, hawkers hawking in the shade of the trees, and the streets were full of pedestrians, and it was very lively.

He Yan said: "It is worthy of Yangzhou, it is very prosperous." ”

He Sisheng smiled and said, "Yes." ”

"This Yangzhou is worthy of being a metropolis since the Tang Dynasty."

At this time, He Yan saw a cigarette shop: "Park." ”

"Appeal ......"

He Sisheng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

He Yan said: "There is a shop that sells cigarettes, get out of the car and buy some cigarettes to smoke." ”

As soon as He Sisheng heard this, he jumped out of the carriage, and while helping He Yan get out of the car, he asked, "Why did you remember to smoke?" ”

He Yan said as he got out of the car: "I suddenly want to smoke." ”

Then He Yan got out of the car,

He Sisheng followed He Yan to buy cigarettes.

After a while, He Yan picked out a cigarette that suited his taste, bought it with the cigarette pouch and pot, and returned to the car while smoking.

"Drive."

The entourage continued to catch the car, He Yan tied the curtains, and while smoking a cigarette, he looked at the Yangzhou market outside the car.

And this will be the son of the three major general merchants in Yangzhou salt merchants, who are happily racing on the street.

Ma Dechang, the son of Ma Zongshang, drove the horse hard, drove in front, and shouted to let passers-by get out of the way, whether to turn around and let those who fell behind follow.

And in the back are the sons of Wang Zongshang and Bao Zongshang, Wang Yuhan and Bao Jianhong.

The two of them rushed to a car, Bao Jianhong rushed to the car, and Wang Yuhan stood in the car and shouted: "Hurry, hurry, hurry." ”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry."

After a while, when they were racing cool, they happened to go to the top of He Yan's carriage.

"Huh~!"

Both sides hurriedly stopped as soon as they saw it, and almost crashed into it.

He Yan found that he braked suddenly, and after sitting firmly, he opened the door curtain with a cigarette bag and pot to take a look, and saw the situation opposite.

At this time, Ma Daheng, who stopped the car, after parking the car steadily, took a horse whip and waved it at He Yan's side, while scolding: "Where did you come from with mud legs, dare to sweep the young master's fun." ”

When the three attendants in the carriage behind He Yan saw it, they hurriedly ran over, and one of them grabbed Ma Daheng's whip.

Wang Yuhan and Bao Jianhong both shouted vigorously when they saw it behind them: "Da Heng, hit him, beat him!" ”

"What are you doing, let go!"

"Da Heng, you hit him!"

"Loosen." Ma Daheng shouted while playing with the whip back, and when he saw that he couldn't pull it back, he jumped out of the car by himself, and dragged his two hands back together: "Let go, let go!" ”

He Sisheng looked at this situation and glanced back at He Yan.

Seeing that their car was planted with the flag of the salt merchant, He Yan said: "The son of the salt merchant, you are really arrogant." ”

Ma Daheng pointed at He Yan at this time and said angrily: "It's a shame that you are so old and don't have much knowledge." ”

"Let me tell you, my father is a chief businessman, you dare to move my Young Master Ma to try it."

"Huh." He Yan smiled, and then ordered: "Take all three of them down for me." ”

As soon as the entourage heard this, the entourage who was holding Ma Daheng's whip pulled the whip, grabbed Ma Daheng's arm, and caught him at once.

The other two went to arrest Bao Jianhong and Wang Yuhan.

Just when Ma Daheng scolded He Yan, Wang Yuhan took out her slingshot and shot at He Yan's head.

The entourage who had been on He Yan's carriage saw that they were directly in front of He Yan, raised their hands to protect their faces, and the slingshot hit him in the arm.

The entourage who went to arrest Wang Yuhan and Bao Jianhong also ran to the car of the two at this time, and when they saw the situation, they reached out and grabbed the two of them.

The two of them hid in the car as soon as they saw it, and seeing that the two entourages couldn't reach them under the car, Wang Yuhan smiled and said, "Come on, come on, you can't catch it." ”

As soon as the two entourages saw it, they ran directly into the carriage, Bao Weihong resisted a few times before being held down, and Wang Yuhan, a girl dressed as a man, was directly caught.

Ma Daheng saw that He Yan dared to arrest them, and said angrily: "You dare to arrest us, you are looking for death!" ”

Wang Yuhan shouted: "That's it, let us go quickly, or you won't be able to eat and go around!" ”

He Yan asked his entourage, "Are you okay?" ”

The attendant rolled up his sleeves and looked at it, and his arm was purple and said, "I'm fine, my lord." ”

He Yan nodded, jumped out of the carriage and went to pick up the golden marbles that Wang Yuhan had shot.

At this time, the catcher of Yangzhou Mansion ran over, and when he saw that Wang Yuhan and the three of them were captured, he immediately ran over and said urgently: "What are you doing!" ”

"Hurry up and let go, a bunch of adults are bullying a few children, do you still want face."

The attendant didn't look at them, and continued to press.

As soon as the catchers didn't listen to them, they immediately drew their knives and said, "Tell you to let go quickly, didn't you listen?!" ”

"Presumptuous." He Sisheng took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and stretched out his hand to He Yan and said, "This is the new Lord of the Salt Academy. ”

Catch quickly glanced at He Yan, and then smiled: "Oh, just him?" ”

"If he is the Lord of the Salt Courtyard, Lao Tzu will still be with Zhongtang!"

"Hurry up and let go of the people, and then follow me to the yamen, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"

He Yan said: "Are you only the son of the general merchant in your eyes, or are you blind and can't see the carriage?" ”

As soon as he heard this, he looked at He Yan's carriage.

The decoration of the ancient carriage is graded, and if you take a quick look, it is really a carriage from the third grade.

Now that the arrest is about to be believed, no one will break the law for the decoration of the carriage, not to mention that this is still the initiative to let you see it without paying attention to it.

As soon as he saw the situation, he immediately put away his knife, then knelt on one knee, hugged his fist and said in fear: "Some of the little ones don't know Mount Tai, and I ask the adults to forgive them." ”

He Yan said: "Get up." ”

"Master Xie."

"Take them and keep going." After He Yan finished speaking, he turned around and got into the car.

The catchers who stood up saw the situation, looked at each other, and no one dared to speak, so they maintained order, let the people retreat, and get out of the way.

After He Yan got into the car, He Sisheng went to catch the carriage behind, and the three entourages were still shouting, and the struggling chief merchant followed.

He Yan listened to them still shouting, which showed how arrogant the salt merchants in Yangzhou were.

He Yan knows that these salt merchants have a backing behind them.

For example, Ma Daheng's father, Ma Dechang Ma Zongshang, he has dealings with He Shen in the capital.

Wang Chaozong's father-in-law, Xiao Zongshang, the head of the four major merchants, has been in business for many years, and the officialdom of the entire Lianghuai region has been bought by him.

Wang Chaozong is an old friend of the Son of Heaven.

Only Mr. Bao has no backers throughout the whole process, but he also understands all aspects.

Otherwise, the two Huai Yanzheng of the previous term would not have been forced to death by them just because they did not pay the donation.
