The three of them talked about Lin Zexu.

And Lord Lin didn't sit hot when he first became a political envoy, but he received the emperor's holy decree in Jinan Mansion, and he was promoted to two levels and promoted to the governor of Shandong.

The holy decree told Lin Zexu not to return to Beijing to thank him, and told him to gather grain and grass within half a year, provide logistics support across the sea by water, and go to the northeast to fight with Lao Maozi's troops.

At this time, on the canal, Zhou Xiaoqi rowed a canopy boat with the sand boat gang pipe, and followed the small flower boat from afar.

Seeing that the small flower boat was docked at the Yixian wharf, and a few people were sitting in a sedan chair on the boat, so they hurriedly docked and asked the people under their hands to follow and investigate.

Zhao Xiong is now negotiating with people in the flower hall of the Yamen.

Yu Haifeng, the chief secretary of Yi County, came to see Zhao Xiong today in civilian clothes.

Zhao Xiong sat on the Taishi chair, making tea, and said with a smile: "Master Yu, you and my brother today, don't be hurt and be kind, drink tea and drink tea." ”

Yu Haifeng took a sip expressionlessly, then put down the teacup and asked, "I'm not interested in the contents of this cup, may I ask where my seventh brother Yu Hailong is!" ”

Zhao Xiong said slowly: "I really wonder why the Sea Dragon Gang came to my land to make trouble, I am really easy to provoke Zhao Xiongba!" ”

In the past three years, with the Sea Dragon Gang, Yu Haifeng and his family have been smooth sailing on the canal.

This time, Yu Hailong thought Zhao Xiong too simply.

Moreover, Yu Haifeng is from the eighth grade, and he is the head boss of the Yixian Tax Department and Jiang Clerk.

A few years ago, when Lao Zhao Tong was there, Fuzi Wharf and even the entire Hanzhuang Town were Lao Zhao Tong's territory, and others were not allowed to touch it.

After the death of Lao Zhao Tong, Fuzi Wharf entered the stage of a group of dragons without a leader, and he relied on the Sea Dragon Gang and the Tax Department to set up a field in the northwest corner of the wharf with the people of Zhang Gonggong Tax Factory.

That's why he asked his seventh brother Yu Hailong to come to the dock to collect protection money.

Where did you think that Zhao Xiong didn't play cards according to the routine, and the official led a group of people to beat the gang, making him dumb and eating coptis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering!

At the moment, we can only wait and see what happens.

Yu Haifeng sighed and said, "Since we have opened the words, we will also open the skylight and say bright words."

This Fuzi Wharf, Father-in-law Zhang said that he wanted half of the share, so I won't participate.

This time it was indeed my seventh brother who was confused, and today I brought him to bear the guilt of asking for the guilt of the master, and begged the male master to raise his noble hand. ”

"Master Yu's book is serious!"

Zhao Xiong said with a light smile.

"There is no major contradiction between our two families, and I naturally can't do anything with him, he has been entertained with good food and drink these days."

Zhao Xiong blew the tea noodles again and drank the tea.

As soon as he said this, Yu Haifeng was immediately relieved.

smiled and pointed to the table of the Eight Immortals and said, "Lord Zhao, this is 100 taels, as long as you let my brother go, he will not set foot on the Hanzhuang Pier again."

Zhao Xiong looked at the 10 boat-shaped silver ingots, the wings were evenly proportioned, and the bottom of the ingots was flat, and said: "Little donkey, you go and release the people of the Sea Dragon Gang and bring Yu Hailong over." ”

Not long after, Yu Hailong, who was unkempt and covered his face, and Zhao Xiong's two family members limped in with him, and when they saw that it was the eldest brother Yu Haifeng who saved him, they wowed and cried.

"Someone is here to arrange a seat for Brother Hailong!" Zhao Xiong said.

Yu Hailong sat on the chair, and looked back at the table, the pile of white flowers and silver still had their family's silver parchment paper on it, and it looked like it was a silver tael that came to redeem him.

Immediately he was furious, and without thinking about it, he stood up and said:

"Big brother, don't redeem me, I'm sorry, the Buddha protects me, I'm eating and drinking spicy food and spicy comfort these days, see what you can do to me?"

"Yu Hailong!" Yu Haifeng shouted.

Yu Haifeng was anxious and thought of this disaster, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard Zhao Xiong speak slowly and leisurely.

"Yu Hailong, your Buddha, I heard that you colluded with the Wenxiang Sect, the disciples, and colluded with them to seek to seize the docks along the Hanzhuang, you are guilty!"

Zhao Xiong saw that Yu Haifeng's face turned white.

Liu Tongxun analyzed it well, and sure enough, there is a situation!

However, Zhao Xiong wondered that people like Yu Hailong can't be said to be rich and expensive, but they can also call for wind and rain in Yi County, why do they have to join the club!

Since the Yuan Dynasty, there have been many sects with many names.

Now there are Wenxiang Sect, Hongfeng Sect, Laozi Sect, Luozu Sect, Nanwu Sect, Jingkong Sect, Wuming Sect, Dacheng Wuwei Sect and so on

They all talk about the name of the White Lotus, and they tell the truth about the teachings of the White Lotus.

Zhao Xiong arched his hand towards the north and said: "The saint reprimands, the villagers are uneven, easy to gather and difficult to disperse, if there is nothing to do,...... Prevent the invasion of cults and safeguard people's livelihood,...... All cultists are sent to the county government and are waiting to be punished. ”

Yu Hailong understood, and immediately shouted to Zhao Xiong: "Don't bluff me, what evidence do you have." ”

This is his eldest brother, Yu Haifeng was surprised that Zhao Xiong chewed the words, and thought that the young Zhao Xiong was a mallet.

If his younger brother were to be labelled as a cult, it would be a big deal.

"Yu Hailong, you shut up for me." Yu Haifeng said.

He couldn't tolerate Yu Hailong's collusion with the cult, which was a matter of losing his head.

"Lord Zhao, I owe you, if there is anything useful in the future, I will definitely help you if you say a word." Yu Haifeng stood up and arched his hand.

Then, he said to Yu Hailong: "The fool is not going to leave!" ”

After a few more days, Zuo Liangyu found out the situation and came back, bringing back a piece of news.

Zhao Xiong plans to take a trip to the Qingtong Gorge at the entrance of North Tongshan Island to see the canal.

After the Qingtong Gorge is passed, it is the endless Weishan Lake, and 30 miles away from the shore is Zaozhuang Town, which is the place where Li Hai is finished.

Then take a boat and go to Zaozhuang Town again.

He rode on the white horse sent by Mr. Zhang, looking into the distance, the Grand Canal was flowing slowly, and the wind and sun were rare!

Today is the eighteenth winter month of the sixteenth year of Dakang Yongping.

Zhao Xiong looked at the mechanical watch calendar he was wearing in his left hand and estimated the time.

It's November 1, 1836.

Towards noon, the terrain of the post road gradually rose.

Zhao Xiong rode on a horse and looked ahead with a telescope in his hand.

The canal flows on the left-hand side, and a hill appears to the northwest of the post road, and at the bottom of the hill are spontaneously formed villages one by one.

"Liu Sheng, where is your home!"

Zhao Xiong pointed to the distance, one by one, small slender villages.

"Our house is at the bottom of the Qingtong Gorge, and we will walk a few miles straight down the post road."

Liu Sheng replied on the side.

Within a few hundred meters, the post road opened a Y-shaped fork, and the mule ridden by Zuo Liangyu took the lead in getting off the post road.

The procession streamed in, and the path was lined with weedy bushes.

Liu Tongxun rode a big flower mule and approached Zhao Xiong and said, "Ninth Master, can you see that stone wall!"

In the first year of Yongping, the Acropolis of Tongshan Island of Jining Wei was deserted, this place is in a mountain nest, the terrain is flat, there is enough water source, it is definitely a treasure of feng shui to set up camp! ”
