The Hejiazhuang Market and the Salt Market, which had been neglected for a few days, were reopened, and everyone rushed back, and those salt merchants were full of promises no matter what conditions Zhao Jin proposed, and they didn't even bargain, they all wanted to please Jinye. Money is a trivial matter, life is a major matter, offended Zhao Jin, and after thinking about it, I was covered in cold sweat.

Under such chaos and noise, no one has noticed the movements of Ma Chonghao and others, these people pay attention to what he has done, causing everyone to fall into danger, and the life or death of these people has nothing to do with everyone.

Ma Chonghao and his entourage of six people traveled from the manor in the west of Xuzhou to Pizhou in less than a day, but from Pizhou to Qingjiangpu, it took seven days.

In order not to attract attention, in order to hide as much as possible, change into civilian clothes, and even discard the horses, in this area, it is too easy to be targeted by people at galloping horses.

Ma Chonghao and his entourage wore hats and burdens, looking no different from ordinary merchants, and even walked in such a hurry, so they came to the territory of Qingjiangpu.

It was easy to inquire about the news in Qingjiangpu, and sure enough, as Ma Chonghao had expected, the first few people came here and wanted to go to the place where the silver was stored to get the silver, but they confronted the brigade organized by the Chamber of Commerce, and in the end they could only leave in disgrace and didn't catch anything.

It is said that the scene was very grand at that time, and the so-called guards of the big city had already unsheathed their swords and guns, and then the carriages of the big cart blocked the surrounding roads, so that the cavalry could not run at all, and it looked like they were ready to fire at any time. What's even more outrageous is that the Shanyang Qin garrison also came with soldiers and horses, saying that their duty is to protect the territory and the people, and if anyone dares to rob the good people during the day, they must ask their swords and guns if they agree.

The Chamber of Commerce has gathered nearly 4,000 people, and Xu Tiebiao's cavalry plus the cavalry of the deputy general of Wolf Mountain, that is, more than a thousand, and the two sides are not of the same mind, the more than 200 people of the salt merchant have already run back to Yangzhou, and the garrison of Wolf Mountain and Shanyang is all the way, and there is no way to count on it, plus these officers and soldiers have to think about how to deal with Zhao Jin next, and they have no heart to fight, and it is not strange to leave in a gray manner.

Although it was expected by Ma Chonghao, this was not worth being happy about, because the money still could not fall into their hands, and could only go into the pockets of the head of the Chamber of Commerce and the Shanyang guard.

Don't think about these frustrating things, Ma Chonghao and his party of six people in Qingjiangpu directly transferred to a civilian boat, and took a boat all the way to Nanjing, which is the most convenient way to go, if you ride a horse, it is very tossy to take a horse on the riverbank, and it is too eye-catching.

Qingjiangpu is the node of Caoyun, the northbound civilian ships end here, they can only turn back, there are thousands of ships from Qingjiangpu to Jiangnan and the waterway, and there are thousands of people on the boat on the road, mixed in this, there must be nothing to notice.

After getting on the boat, the guests are not full, and the boat will have to wait for a while, Ma Liu originally wanted to spend money to charter the boat, but was stopped by Ma Chonghao, in this situation, you can't do anything that attracts attention, you must be careful.

66 continued to come again, there is a monk tall, looks very conspicuous, but is speaking a Henan dialect, claiming to go to Fujian to place an order, this origin is also clear, it is estimated that Songshan Shaolin went to Quanzhou Tongzong there, and there is also a young scholar who makes people pay attention, although he looks handsome, he looks not a rich and noble person, with a Beijing accent, claiming to go to Nanjing to visit friends and study.

When everyone met in the water, they had to talk a few words, but they were shallow and deep, and everyone was not walking for the first time, so they fell silent after saying a few words.

The boat set sail, all the way to the south, the water rose after the rain, and the boat went very smoothly on the water, everyone was silent all the way, just stop and go.

When passing through Yangzhou, the boat crossed the river to replenish some fresh water, and some people got off the boat, there were new passengers on board, and it was delayed for a day here, the boat and the passengers confessed, you can go ashore to play, you only need to come back before sailing, Ma Chonghao took people ashore, and after inquiring about the news, he returned to the ship.

As soon as I inquired, I found out that there was a major event in Yangzhou City, the original first Feng family in Yangzhou has been unhappy in recent years, and was robbed at night, and the old and young generations of family heads died violently, and then the current head of the family, Feng Jinde, also got a sudden illness, and he didn't hold it up for the past two days, and he was going to a big funeral. What can make the people of Yangzhou scold is that the successor head of the family is not at home to mourn, but takes people to Xuzhou, saying that he wants to congratulate a local tyrant, which really has no conscience.

After hearing the news, Ma Chonghao and Ma Liu were also speechless, they had seen Feng Jinde in Jiangbei, it was true that he was older, but his body was very hard, he was drinking and playing with women, how could he die violently, it is not strange to say that the old man's body is at risk, but in combination with this successor, he rushed to Xuzhou, so what else did he not understand.

"Lose all the games" Ma Chonghao sighed gloomily, but he was a little used to being frustrated for a while, so he quickly cheered up and returned to the boat early to prepare for rest.

Although no one on the ship recognized it, it should have been safe, but it was a matter of life, Ma Chonghao and the others were still very careful, the six of them were divided into two shifts in the cabin, one slept and one woke up, and they were vigilant at all times, and they never took off their coats when they slew, and they did not leave their weapons in their hands.

Crossing the river overnight, looking at the riverbank not far away, Ma Chonghao's expression was gloomy, and the feelings in his heart had fallen to the extreme.

After nearly a year of hard planning, at the end of June and January outside, I thought it would be a success, but I didn't expect it to be such a result.

How radiant did you feel at first? How high-spirited were you on the way? Looking back on the scene at that time, Ma Chonghao felt a little like a world away.

If you can get all the money and industry of Zhao Ziying in your hands, you will have a lot of capital, and then you can return to the capital, relying on this huge amount of money to open the way, whether it is with the Inner Palace or the Donglin Party, you can get in touch, they will definitely have to borrow their connections in Jinyiwei and the means of doing errands, as well as the wealth, they will definitely trust themselves.

When that time comes, you can take advantage of the momentum to go up, do big things, show your ambitions, do meritorious deeds, seek wealth and fame.

By now, everything has come to naught, all plans have been put into practice, and I am no longer qualified to think about the future of prosperity, and I still have countless thoughts about whether I can keep my current status.

Not to mention that although almost half a month has passed, what he saw that day was still very clear, as if a moment ago, Ma Chonghao remembered very clearly that when the array was formed, he was already frightened, and when he saw the majestic immobility in the rain, he was already frightened.

How can there be such soldiers and horses in the world? How could Da Ming have such power? This is not yet an official army, and it does not belong to the imperial court.

When he saw this army of soldiers and horses, Ma Chonghao was instantly disheartened, feeling that everything he did was meaningless, with Zhao Ziying here, what if he could return to the capital? What if you can get on the big block, and if you can catch Donglin? Can you win such a battle? If you can't win, then you can't do anything at all, you can't ask for wealth at all, with this Zhao Ziying, then everything is empty, everything is over

"Master, it's about to get to the dock," Ma Liu said behind him, his tone was relieved, they had been cautious in Jiangbei, like an enemy country, and now that they were in Nanjing, everything should be worry-free.

Ma Chonghao, the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei, nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "When we go back, we must cut off a few heads, otherwise these blind people will definitely turn the sky upside down." ”

This matter in Xuzhou has not been done, not to mention the princes and other nobles, Nanjing Jinyiwei will also make trouble inside, so Ma Chonghao has already prepared thunder means on the ship, and in addition to stabilizing his position, he will use them to show the evil anger in his chest by the way.

Just when he was still in reverie about what to do with those muddy people, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and then the boatman shouted, the ship had already docked the ferry pier.

Because it was morning, there were not many people on the dock, so Ma Chonghao and his party got off the boat, they all stretched their waists and yawned, and the whole person was relaxed, as if there was a sigh of seeing the light of day and being a human again.

They were nervous and vigilant for half a month along the way, for fear that they would accidentally fall into Jiangbei, and they had been worried for so long, and now they finally returned to their own territory, so no matter how powerful Zhao Jin is, can he still reach out to this side.

The other passengers also got off the boat, the tall Henan monk got off the boat, thanked the boatman, the young man in the green shirt got off the boat with a smile, looked around curiously, and there was a small boat on the side, but only two strong men got off the boat, and they were not too far away from the boat, the monk and the scholar looked at the boat without a trace, and then walked towards Ma Chonghao.

At this moment, there was an exclamation on the ferry, and the boats along the coast were also in a panic, but they saw a big ship coming to the shore, which seemed to have no order, which caused everyone to dodge one after another.

"Bump" a muffled sound, the side of the boat to the ferry's stone edge, careful can see that the boat board has been broken, the boat hurriedly put down the gangplank, but someone is in a hurry to lead the horse down, this person is actually wearing a flying fish suit, is the fan of the brocade guard, no wonder on the road so rampant.

Everyone took a closer look, the horse he was holding was covered in sweat, and there was foam at the mouth and nose.

But the flaming fan didn't care so much, he led the horse out of the boat, and then used the horsewhip to pull the mount forward, causing the people on the ferry who had just disembarked to dodge in a hurry.

It's just that the horse couldn't hold it at all, and after running out for more than a dozen steps, it fell directly to the ground with a wail, twitching and foaming at the mouth, seeing that it was no longer alive. But he didn't seem to care about so much, didn't beat the dust on his body, threw away the horsewhip, got up and was about to run in the direction of Nanjing.
