At this moment, a small official in a green coat and a small hat appeared from the door of a building that looked like an official office, followed by a few helpers with sticks.

When you come to the street, you will be beaten and scolded at that group of beggars.

For a while, the sound of crying dad and shouting mother on the whole street was endless.

Zhao Xiong stood on the dock and watched coldly, very impulsive in his heart, but endured it.

He knew that if he rushed to stop it now, he would make a commotion.

He can still divide his priorities, and the most important thing now is to take office in Hanzhuangzha, and everything else is not so important.

Liu Tongxun, who was beside him, was surprised to see that Zhao Xiong didn't step forward to stop him, but he didn't say anything and asked in a low voice:

"Do you have the seal?"

Zhao Xiong turned his head and smiled, nodded and said, "Let's go!" ”

The two of them went down the stone stairs to the plank road into the Grand Canal at the small wharf, and then Zhao Xiong felt that there was something strange about the small wharf.

It may be that he was too excited when he went ashore to get the seal and didn't pay attention, but now he has calmed down.

In his memory, Lao Zhaotong's private dock turned out to be a dock that was not lively or too deserted, with more than a dozen large and small boats crammed together.

At this time, there were only two of them, and the bow of the ship was facing the stone steps of the pier, which was extremely convenient to get on and off, and occupied the best position.

There were also several canopy boats parked opposite them, and as soon as Zhao Xiong came over, the whole family hurriedly untied the ropes and ran away.

"Huh!"

Zhao Xiong said to the boat boss suspiciously: "What's the matter, are you afraid that I will eat you, or are there water ghosts in this place?" ”

"No, no!" Zhou Xiaoqi, who was on the bow of the boat opposite, hurriedly replied: "Master Xiong's place is very clean, I'm afraid that the boats will be crowded together, won't this affect the master's travel!"

Find a way to get them out of the way! ”

Zhao Xiong nodded and ignored the boat boss, and got on the boat directly.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu, who came up, said in a low voice: "Do you remember the last assassination, the gangster named Dung Tuo was that person's subordinate." ”

Zhao Xiong turned his head when he heard this, and looked at the boss of the boat who was untying the cable, and the boss of the boat also secretly looked over at this time.

Seeing Zhao Xiong staring at him, he showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and smiled humbly.

Zhao Xiong looked stupid and stunned in the past, and he was still a little smart, but to say, "treating people in the world" is still lacking.

He Zhao Xiong stole chickens and dogs, kicked the door of the widow's house, and his notoriety was also well-known in the Grand Canal.

Of course, the previous Zhao Xiong was not without merits, and the male master recognized by the Evil Tiger Gang was 'broad-minded, awe-inspiring, and treated people with sincerity', which were all advantages.

Therefore, his family members and gangsters are willing to serve him, and they can even die for Zhao Xiong.

Zhou Xiaoqi stared at Zhao Xiong with a creepy face, so he smiled bitterly in his heart, and bent over and said loudly.

"Hello to Master Xiong, go to Hanzhuang Gate for another day, and rise every day!"

As he spoke, Zhou Xiaoqi and several businessmen on his awning boat got up one after another.

Regardless of whether they knew Zhao Xiong or not, those businessmen saw that Xi Xiaoqi was so respectful, so they learned that Xi Xiaoqi bowed down like Zhao Xiong on the boat and greeted him.

Zhao Xiong did the same, smiling slightly.

Xi Xiaoqi pushed his canopy boat out, and Zhao Xiong vaguely heard a low voice coming from the canopy on the boat with the wind.

"Who is this young man?"

"Shhhh

"Ah, the Hanzhuang Gate, the first gate in Shandong, is a fat shortage!"

"It's the Evil Tiger Gang's Leng Tou Qing!"

"Shhhh

Zhao Xiong learned from the words of the passengers that he actually had the nickname Leng Touqing.

In my heart, I couldn't help but laugh secretly, "Leng Touqing!" ”

At this time, Zhao Xiaodonkey hurriedly arrived, stood at the small dock, and commanded the Jia Ding to carry the tribute he had just bought when sealing the gate and put it on the deck of the patrol ship.

Zhao Xiong, who was studying the cruiser, suddenly felt something in his heart and looked at the opposite shore.

The banks of the street were bare willow trees, and under the largest one, a man stood behind the tree, poking his head out and looking at the small pier.

As soon as Zhao Xiong noticed it, he immediately shrank his head, panicked and used the revetment, and ran to the Wanhua Building on Lotus Street.

Wanhualou is a majestic three-storey building, in front of the building, there is a row of red lanterns, and above the lanterns, there is a big signboard: Wanhualou.

Wanhualou is a green building.

There are many green buildings in Taierzhuang Town, nearly a dozen large and small, all of which are concentrated in Lotus Leaf Street.

This Wanhua Building at the intersection of Cross Water Street is close to Buyun Bridge, and when it comes to singing and dancing at night, it makes the nearby residents sleepless all night.

Many residents and merchants have jointly written to the government to move this green building.

However, the old bustard of this Qinglou is exquisite, and he doesn't know what means he has, not only is it not affected, but his business is booming.

Among all the brothels in Taierzhuang Town, Wanhualou is almost the latest to open, but now it has become the most popular.

"Little donkey, look at the man in green clothes and blue hats, do you know him?"

Zhao Xiong pointed at that person with his finger, and Zhao Xiaodonkey's sharp eyes immediately replied: "Third master, isn't this Jiang Zhong, the follower of Jiang Zhong, the official of the Yixian County Tax Division?"

It's weird, what is he peeking at us! ”

"Yixian Tax Division, Jiang Clerk?"

"It's the guy who drove those beggars on the street just now, the thief eyebrows, the old man looked down on him the most when he was alive!"

Zhao Xiong only remembered at this time that since his father Zhao Tong was a gate official at that time, he did not deal with the Yixian Tax Department and Jiang Officials.

Of course, there is a problem with Zhao Xiong here, as Leng Touqing's shit temper, he can't see people bullying the old man, and he beat the youngest son of Jiang Servant.

I heard that the injury was very serious, as if he had broken a foot and walked with a limp.

This matter cost Lao Zhao Tongtong money.

There is also the old Zhao Tong of the Grand Canal, who has been involved in the past ten years, and he has to mix everything, what grain, private salt and so on.

still has no scruples, and the Zhao family of Yixian County led by him has prospered.

Although the old Zhao Tong died, after his death, the Zhao family reined in a lot and withdrew from some businesses.

But in the past ten years, he has made a lot of money and offended many people.

It's like this tax department, in addition to the children fighting, the most important thing is that Lao Zhao Tong intervenes in the affairs of the Grand Canal.

Jiang was a native of Yanzhou Prefecture, and the officials of the Dakang Dynasty came down to be officials, and they had to rely on the officials who had served in the local yamen for a long time, unlike Zhao Xiong, who was the head of the land.

Officials are not officials, but they are the actual executors of government affairs.

Ordinary people must go through officials to communicate with officials, and officials must also go through officials to do anything.

Especially for the magistrate, if his officials cooperate with him, it will be smooth, and if his officials do not cooperate with him, he will be anxious!
