"Murder?" Zheng Tuoniang and Xianniang glanced at each other, and said almost in unison: "How is this possible, isn't there a royal law here?" ”

"Wang Fa?"

The man muttered, as if he had lost interest in speaking, and shook his head and stopped talking, and was about to turn away when he had finished arranging the tea and pastries on his plate.

"Huh...... Little second brother, you wait. ”

Zheng Toniang shouted to the shopkeeper who was about to leave, and glanced at the two maids sitting aside, and the maid was a little unwilling to take out a small piece of silver from her sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper and said angrily: "If my wife asks you, you will be honest, otherwise you will annoy my wife and you will be good-looking." ”

"Yes...... Be...... Mrs. Xie's reward! The shopkeeper quickly took the broken silver, and after checking it, his eyes and eyebrows were laughing, plus the reward he gave just now, the reward given by this lady was at least one or two silver, which was already equivalent to most of his salary for half a month, and the little worry in his heart was also thrown out of the clouds.

He looked left and right before whispering: "So that this lady can know, it is not the little one who refuses to say it, but those people are too vicious, and the little one is afraid that if those people learn that the villain will be scolded at the light of day and beaten at the worst, so the little one will not dare to say it." ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper glanced at Zheng Tuoniang, saw the impatience in the other party's eyes, and quickly changed his words: "Of course, since Mrs. wants to know that the little one has to tell Mrs. about it even if she is beaten badly." ”

"Say it." The maid on the side snorted coldly before saying proudly: "Who is our lady, if she doesn't know, just don't let you suffer, since you know, there is no reason for you to suffer, you just put your heart in your stomach, just say it." ”

"Yes, yes...... Little thank you for the good words of this little lady! "The shopkeeper has been in the teahouse all day long, and he has already refined a good eye, and he can naturally see that the identities of these masters and servants must be extraordinary, especially the lady who is the leader, although the face is covered by the face, but even so, he can still see the other party's stunning face, how can such a beauty be possessed by ordinary people.

He licked his lips and said, "Madam, those people outside are none other than the people of Yahang, who are introducing business to those merchants who have entered the port." It's just that it seems that the people in the tooth shop may ask for too much, and the merchant doesn't agree, but the small one can be guaranteed, and the merchant will have to suffer later. ”

"No, how can the tooth walker be so domineering!" Zheng Toniang and Xianniang glanced at each other, and their eyes showed disbelief.

Speaking of the dental industry, people in modern society may be a little unfamiliar, but when it comes to another industry, everyone is familiar with it, the so-called dental industry is the intermediary of modern society, and the three hundred and sixty lines that people in later generations actually include dental industry.

Zheng Tuo Niang and Xian Niang are not those flowers that grew up in the greenhouse, they grew up in Qinhuai River, they are naturally familiar with the dental industry, and in a big city like Nanjing, the dental store has even become a semi-official institution. Although the people of the tooth walk may be greedy, they will never be arrogant to the point of casually beating people or even killing people.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the appearance of Zheng Tuoniang and Xianniang, he knew that they didn't believe it, and he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "The two ladies don't know, our Yaxing in Xiamen has always been arrogant and domineering, although in recent years, with the old man of Jiangning Hou and his old man led the Jiangning army into Fujian, it has been reined in, but it is still rampant in the township, and recently, with the opening of the sea ban by the imperial court, the business of our port is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and those people in the tooth line have been eyeing here, and they are becoming more and more arrogant these days." ”

"And before?" Zheng Tuniang asked, "Aren't those people in the tooth shop eyeing this port?" ”

"Before?" The guy sneered: "Most of the people who came to the port to unload their goods in the past were the ships of the six major sea merchants, and those tooth shops didn't dare to fight their autumn wind after eating the bear's heart and leopard guts, but since last year, hasn't the imperial court opened the sea ban."

Those small merchants or fishermen who have money in their pockets have gathered their shares to go to sea to earn silver, but anyone who can come back must have earned a sum of silver, those people who are in the tooth line see the natural red-eyed, they didn't dare to touch the six major sea merchants before, but those fishermen or small businessmen What do they dare not move? ”

They also stipulated that without their consent, no porter was allowed to help unload the goods, and those who disobeyed were injured or even killed. Although the little one couldn't hear what the man on the dock said to the merchant just now, the little one was sure that the merchant wanted to hire someone to unload the goods on the ship, and it was impossible to do it without sixty or seventy or even a hundred taels of silver. ”

"A hundred taels of silver!"

Zheng Tuoniang and the informant were taken aback.

"Why don't they rob it!" The angry informant blurted out: "Even if those businessmen go to sea to earn some silver, but I estimate that this cargo can earn more than a hundred, at most two hundred taels of silver will be up to the sky, and they will ask for hundreds of taels when they open their mouths, this is too much, is there still a king in Xiamen?" ”

Seeing the angry informant, the shopkeeper just said helplessly, "This lady, you are wrong, how can they come to the silver so fast to grab the silver?" ”

"This ......" The informant couldn't help but be dumbfounded, even if she hadn't done business, she also knew how profitable an industry would be if it was monopolized.

At this moment, a commotion came from outside, and I saw more than a dozen people who looked like they came to the dock, all of them were dressed in short shirts, turbans, and black belts, all of them were strong, their faces were quite angry, and they looked brave and fierce.

All of them carried in their hands a stick as thick as an arm, and what was particularly striking was that the ends of the sticks were covered with iron sheaths, and those who knew knew that if someone was struck by such an iron set, that person would have to shed his skin if he did not die.

The leader of these people is a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a meaty face, and next to him is a person who has just left Yaxing, this person is in his twenties, with a goatee, and his appearance is very slippery, I saw him arrogantly said to the middle-aged businessman standing next to the boat: "Wei Shangda, I will ask you again, will your business be handed over to us to do?" ”

The middle-aged man, that is, Wei Shangda, said angrily: "Dream, even if I leave here to unload the goods elsewhere, I will never hand over the goods to you to unload!" ”

"Good...... Be ambitious! The goatee first gave a thumbs up and praised him, and then turned his head to the middle-aged man beside him and said: "Third Brother Zhen, you have also seen that some people toast and don't eat and drink, it seems that you have to come out and teach them how to behave!" ”
