Lao Jiu really got out, when he was munching on the watermelon and scolding his mother, he suddenly heard that the little eunuch had arrived, and hurriedly ran to the entrance of the village. ”

"The factory governor is here, then he must make a big salute!" Lao Jiu played tricks and complained slightly: "Why did the adults arrive at this time, you have missed several fights!" ”

"It's a bit delayed, and besides, this governor only likes to kill people and doesn't like to fight" As he spoke, Chang Yuju walked into the village, which was a medium-sized village with dozens of households, but at this time it had been temporarily requisitioned by the Black Tiger Battalion as a stronghold.

"Don't disturb the people" Chang Yu walked around the village, and saw that most of the people were eating and chatting with bowls at the door, and he would say hello when he saw them: "Have you eaten a military master?" ”

Lao Jiu hurriedly patted his chest: "Adults can go to the village and ask casually, if there is one who says that my black wolf camp has disturbed the people, I am willing to punish myself with three cups, oh no, no, I will punish myself with three slaps!" ”

"In the opinion of this governor, whether it disturbs the people or not for the time being, you have not drunk less wine, if you break the prohibition order, it will be more than three slaps, and you will not be able to have one less than thirty military sticks" Chang Yu pouted.

"Lord Factory Supervisor, the humble position really didn't violate the order, and now this wine is very expensive and there is no place to buy it, and the humble position is that I got the wind and cold yesterday and drank such a small sip......" Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Chang Yu, and everyone laughed, this poor mouth is about to catch up with Li Muxian.

There is an abandoned yard in the southeast of the village, which is now the foothold of the Black Wolf Battalion, Chang Yu saw that Lao Jiu had set up light and dark sentinels around the village, and was on guard in full accordance with the wartime level, so he asked: "Is the stubble quite hard?" ”

"It seems that the adults know," Lao Jiu smiled slightly.

"It's just hearsay, if you talk about it carefully, this governor is really curious if this Xuzhou boundary is deeper than Shandong water?"

Shandong has been robbing many people since ancient times, but there is another legend in Xuzhou.

It is said that during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, these two generations of Qing emperors liked to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and they all had to pass through Xuzhou, and they both said the same sentence, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people!

In a word, there are two characteristics of this realm, poor and Diao!

To put it simply, the people here are not very easy to get along with, and they are tricky and spicy.

Shandong Changyu, who is fierce in the people's style, is it like walking on the ground, is it possible that it will fold in the hands of the poor people in this poor mountain and bad water?

Unrealistic, non-existent!

As the old saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are rivers and lakes where there are disputes, and a grand canal that runs through the north and south is also a river and lake.

In terms of the great power, it is naturally the Cao Gang, and at this time it is also called the Grain Boat Gang.

Cao Gang began with the Jiangbei area of Shandong, which was a variety of small enterprises that rely on water to eat to set up a group company, but it is not a monopoly, there are always various local small forces that do not want to join the gang like to go alone, but in case of trouble, they also have to give Cao Gang some face, after all, they are all begging for food in this river, and there are many people who are sophisticated.

Octopus purchases a large amount of grain from the south and goes north, and hires the ship of the Cao Gang, which is basically equal to the SF Express of later generations, fast and thoughtful, and there is almost no trouble on the road.

However, after the Octopus Chamber of Commerce received the order to store grain in Xuzhou, trouble came.

Chang Yu's original plan was to build a granary in Xuzhou, which was not official or civilian but a military granary, and could be called up through the canal at any time regardless of whether the army was going north or south.

It's just easy to say, it's a little difficult to operate, at least for the people of the Octopus Chamber of Commerce, they are on standby at the dock, and the steward goes ashore to investigate, whether to build the granary inside the city or outside the city, which needs to be done before Chang Yu comes.

Tun grain in Xuzhou city or build a granary near the wharf?

Don't mention it for now, because trouble is coming.

The Jiaolong Gang, a water gang entrenched in this area, has to charge a protection fee, to be exact, a boat management fee, because there are too many grain boats on Octopus, and if they stop for several days, they will cost 500 taels of silver.

The Cao Gang also came forward to mediate this matter, but the Jiaolong Gang let go, the Cao Gang has never stumbled in the past, the Cao Gang is only responsible for transporting the goods, and this silver is not to ask the Cao Gang to ask the main thing about the goods.

They all rely on water to make a living, and the Cao Gang is not good at saying anything, so they can't force the face to cut off the people's money, and besides, if something happens to the transportation, the Cao Gang has no hesitation, but the owner of the cargo suddenly wants to stop the ship in the middle of the road and occupy other people's territory for several days, which is a bit of a loss!

But the manager of Octopus doesn't think so, this Grand Canal belongs to the imperial court, why is it that you Jiaolong Gang is in the city, and you don't inquire about the background of Octopus, the imperial businessman, you dare to open your mouth?

But what is your imperial businessman, not to mention the mountain high emperor is far away, that is, at this time, the world is in turmoil, the court is too busy to take care of itself, you can be an imperial businessman, just eat your imperial businessman, Jiaolong Gang is aggressive, in their opinion, no matter what businessman you are as long as you take this waterway, you have to follow the customs, otherwise it will be troublesome, as a merchant is to spend money to eliminate disasters and buy peace, and make money, the so-called open gun is easy to dodge the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, and the business is to ask for a peace and security, so the more big dealers are more generous to play on the road, After all, it will be convenient to make more friends on the road in the future.

It stands to reason that the boss behind Octopus is an underworld figure, and he is very sophisticated about this kind of human feelings, but perhaps because he is also a gangster, he is more and more disgusted with the domineering of this kind of snake, or because the background is too awesome now, he is not afraid of things at all.

So I left a sentence: If you want money, you have to rely on your ability!

Octopus came out to run business, and naturally it was also a guy with pressure goods, there were also 180 people, and there were guys.

But this also completely angered the people of the Jiaolong Gang, after all, if you are bluffed by the passers on your own territory, don't mix it up in the future, so you have to fight with the people of Octopus, the location is on the bank of the canal, but you have to see if the snake is powerful or you are tough to cross the river.

The two sides of the people and horses put on a posture on the shore and attracted countless onlookers, and when they were about to start fighting, they also deserved the bad luck of the Jiaolong Gang, and Lao Jiu came with the black wolf camp.

So without saying a word, he beat up the Jiaolong Gang.

It is said that the old man is miserable!

And he only beat him, but he didn't pull out a knife to kill, otherwise it is estimated that the Jiaolong Gang would have gone to the East China Sea to see the Dragon King.

The manager of Octopus saw that the help was coming and took the opportunity to make a name for himself, so he said: Octopus wants to take root in Xuzhou, and those who want to find fault are welcome!

Don't mention that there were a lot of people on the dock at that time, and when they saw a cavalry beating the Jiaolong Gang, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and their hearts were trembling.

But this move angered another gang, the heroes of Shahu Mountain.

Shahu Mountain is more than ten miles northwest of Xuzhou City, and is about this distance from the canal, it is one of several small hills, there are more than 100 heroes in the mountains who fall into the grass to build a village, and sometimes sweep the wild It is rumored that it has a lot of relationship with the Jiaolong Gang, and the cooperation along the way is seamless.

Hearing that the Jiaolong Gang had a conflict with an outsider, he was bored and swept his face, and Shahu Mountain poured out of the nest to find a field, this officer and soldier are by no means local to Xuzhou, since he is too nosy, let him have a long memory, and be less nosy in the future.

So in the wilderness at the foot of Overlord Mountain near the canal, the crying father who was beaten by the black wolf camp shouted that his mother fled in embarrassment, and it was a joke for a while.

Anyway, I don't know what these two gang bosses think, they are not good at water warfare or mountain warfare, but they want to open the shelf and do it in the wilderness, isn't it looking for abuse, maybe in their eyes, the officers and soldiers are waste, but they don't know that they are lucky to pick one of the most elite people in the Ming Dynasty at the moment.

When I first arrived at the ground, I had two fights in less than two days, and I thought that these snakes could stop, but it was just the beginning, these people began to play scoundrels and entanglements, and in other words, they injured their brothers, and they had to pay money or they would not die.

Lao Jiu was too lazy to entangle with him, so he warned him: Gao Jie, the chief soldier of Xuzhou, is an old friend, and if he dares to cause trouble again, he will eradicate them with just one sentence.

Who knew that when these words were heard by the two gangs, they didn't have the slightest fear, but said unashamedly, no matter how awesome Gao Jie was, he couldn't control them: "They are the people who meet Xu He and Li Li."

Lao Jiu couldn't remember the specific name, and scratched his head: "Anyway, I said the names of the two people, you must negotiate with me to pay the silver, otherwise you will have a black hand and sabotage our cargo ship, this dark arrow is difficult to prevent."

Chang Yu, who originally had a relaxed face, suddenly frowned: "What did he say about Xu Dingguo and Li Jiyu?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's it, this is the one you know, what are you doing?" Lao Jiu hurriedly received it, and everyone was also curious.

Chang Yu exhaled a long breath: "The other two earth snakes on the side of Gao Jie's couch!" ”

"It's amazing, why haven't you heard of these two people" Li Muxian and the others looked at each other but were confused.

Chang Yu nodded: "They are all ruthless characters, what matters is their identity, sometimes they are soldiers and sometimes they are thieves, but it is certain that they are all thieves now."

"Since they are thieves, they took the opportunity to do them," Lao Jiu and Wu Zhong shouted.

Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's a bit far away, we don't have time to find them for the time being, and these two people are ruthless characters, and Gao Jie will die in the hands of one of them in the future."

Everyone was shocked, and Li Muxian's face changed: "Adults can also push hexagrams?" ”

"I'm so good at massage," Chang Yu said angrily.
