Ruan Xiaoqi first called Zhang Rong and told him to prop up a small boat and go to inform Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun. After that, he invited Meng Kang and Cheng Gui to get on a wooden boat, where Ruan Xiaowu untied the boat rope and shook the oar, and the fast boat flew off the shore and swam straight towards the dock in Banqiao Town.

After half an hour, Ruan Xiaoqi, Ruan Xiaowu and others could already faintly see many ships coming and going on the sea, and there were many small boats coming and going in the dock in Banqiao Town, and many laborers on the dock were working hard to unload the goods of the shipload and land it. There were also four or five small officials of the city shipping department holding a roster and checking the goods entering the port.

The officials of these municipal shipping departments are mainly responsible for examining whether the shipping merchants entering and leaving the city have official documents for going to sea for trade, and also to check whether the sea ships entering and entering the port are carrying prohibited items such as gold, silver, copper, coins, weapons, horses, etc., and after verifying the shipping goods, they will take one out of ten of the fine colors (precious goods) and the coarse colors (general goods) of the foreign goods, and also collect the shipping tax on the method of thirty out of one.

Xiao Tang went to the sea trade on the surface, and the entry and exit was the seaport set up by the city shipping department, and at the same time, he also used the reason of expanding the scale of shipping to build sea ships. If it is to mobilize the people of the green forest under his command to deploy by sea, or to transport prohibited materials of ordnance and weapons, it will be from the dock privately built in the nearby sea town to leave the port.

Many merchants who went to the sea also had the practice of taking possession and bribing some petty officials in the naval division and the city department to make huge profits. As Xiao Tang's power in Baidao became stronger and stronger, and he had been operating in Banqiao Town for many years, the ordinary inspection officials and city lawsuits had been dealt with up and down, so that Xiao Tang walked the sea route smoothly regardless of the open and dark sides, but those officials who had benefited from Xiao Tang's city and sea officials, only Xiao Renxia, who was smooth sailing in the Bianjing court, also wanted to make more profits like ordinary businessmen, but he didn't know that in the nearby remote island fishing village, a naval army also grew with Xiao Tang's livelihood in Banqiao Town, Mizhou......

Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaowu drove by and were busy unloading the goods on the ship, loading them and transporting them to the docks of shops everywhere. Ruan Xiaoqi saw the man clearly, and immediately crossed his waist and laughed: "Steward Xiao, I haven't seen you for a while, I called you to eat and drink, but I didn't see you coming!" ”

On the bright side, the manager Xiao An, who was in charge of Xiao Tang's life in Banqiao Town, twitched slightly, and he sneered twice at Ruan Xiaoqi, but felt that his head hurt again.

Compared with the three-tailed pheasant who was still in Xiao Jiaji's Xiao Mansion as Xiao Tang's idle follower, Xiao Ande's son Yang Xu assigned business methods, and was entrusted by Xiao Tang to take care of the sea trade business. Although Xiao An was stunned when he first heard that Xiao Tang was secretly plotting a big thing, although he was a little more slick and a philistine, he regarded himself as a loyal servant of his own young master in the past, and now he will be Xiao Tang's henchman, so after some hesitation, Xiao An still decided to assist his own young master, no matter what Xiao Tang needs him to do.

However, according to Xiao An's temperament, he seems to have been born to clash with rough people who were born to be reckless, especially the three Ruan brothers, especially this Ruan Xiaoqi! Where did the young master recruit these crazy men? Who are these people, vulgar, so vulgar!

It was this Ruan Xiaoqi, when the three brothers of the Ruan family led the fishermen of Shijie Village to this Banqiao Town a few days after Xiao Tang's instructions, he and several boatmen and fishermen took wooden boats to drink wildly on the sea, until they were drunk, and even plunged into the water, and there was no movement for a long time.

Xiao An was frightened when he learned the news, and hurriedly sent people to the harbor to look for salvage. As a result, after two or three more teas, this guy actually caught a big fish that slipped and didn't leave his hands and picked it up, and shouted that someone stewed it for wine......

Ruan Xiaoqi, who is usually outspoken and fast-talking, also seems to deliberately want to make fun of Xiao An, and often chokes him with words, so as soon as Xiao An sees Ruan Xiaoqi, he suddenly feels like a fight, and he just wants to stay away from him.

"It's not that I want to save Qilang's face, the matter entrusted by the young master is very important, and there are still many livelihoods to be controlled in the shop, how can I be lazy?" Xiao An laughed dryly again and said to Ruan Xiaoqi.

Ruan Xiaoqi laughed when he heard this: "Rao is the matter entrusted by my brother is important, why don't you even have the time to eat and drink?" Otherwise, we rough men can't make a fortune, and we can't compare to those who are used to being businessmen, and we only talk about getting rich all day long. ”

Xiao An's face collapsed again when he heard this, but fortunately, at this time, everyone had seen a big ship gradually approaching the port from the sea. When Cheng Gui saw it, he immediately said to Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Meng Kang: "Yes, three heroes, this is the sea ship that Uncle Mei Shi is on." ”

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi saw that they were looking at the sea boat, and after seeing the big ship slowly approaching, getting closer and closer to the wooden boat they were on, Cheng Gui shouted a few more times to the sea boat.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from the deck of the big ship, and a man actually jumped and stepped straight on the small boat where Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi and the others were!

There was a violent bump and undulation, and the boat swayed up and down on the water, almost overturned by the inertia of the man's leap! Fortunately, the two Ruan brothers and Cheng Guishui are proficient, and their feet are also standing on the board of the boat as if they have roots, but Meng Kang stumbled under his feet, and when he saw him being thrown off the boat, fortunately, Ruan Xiaowu rushed up and dragged Meng Kang, so he stabilized his steps.

Suddenly jumped to the small boat next to the man as if there was no one, he looked at the Banqiao Town City Ship Division with many large and small ships coming in and out of the port, rushing back and forth, and suddenly bared his teeth and smiled: "The dock harbor in the north is nothing more than that, it is still not as prosperous as the city of Mingzhou and Wenzhou, they all say that the southerners are good at ships and the northerners are good at horses, and I really want to come to see the green forest thieves in the north, and what can ride the extravagant characters who are good at fighting!" ”

The big man's behavior of jumping straight onto the boat, as well as the attitude of no one beside him, aroused Ruan Xiaoqi's anger immediately, but when Ruan Xiaoqi stared at the man, he saw that he was born with thick eyebrows, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a body of tendons and flesh wrapped around his waist and broad shoulders under his strong clothes looked very strong, and the man also wrapped his hair in a red turban, and he also held a stem of grass in his mouth.

Ruan Xiaoqi saw that the man arrogantly put a long weapon with a blade wrapped in a green scarf on his shoulder, which seemed to be a long knife in shape, and an iron-tipped meteor hammer connected to an iron chain around his waist was also very weighty.

This man is not a good stubble! Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly had this idea in his mind, but he is a fast-talking and fast-talking person, and now his heart is on fire when he is provoked by that man's reckless actions, how can he hold it down?

Before Cheng Gui on the side could speak, Ruan Xiaoqi pointed at the man with a halberd and shouted, "Which one are you?" Dare to be so rude and come to grandpa to beg for wildfire to eat! ”

The man raised his eyebrows, and he looked at Ruan Xiaoqi with cold eyes. The two stared at each other for a moment, and the man suddenly grinned his teeth, and the grass stem in his mouth also stood up high: "Jiangnan Fujian Road Wuyi Mountain Dazhai master Mohu Blade Shibao, I heard that there are many extravagant characters in the green forests of Shandong and Hebei, so I came here to see and meet the colleagues in the green forests of the north!" ”
