Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 166

Seeing that the two children were looking at her, Yang quickly comforted her: "Little Miaoer Yaer is not afraid."

"Auntie, I'm not afraid!" Xiao Miaoer stood upright like a newborn calf.

Well done.Mrs. Yang glanced at her, then turned to a few people known as the boat gang, and kept saying good things, hoping that the other party would let them go.

"Are you in the same group?" a man asked ruffiantly.

"Yes, we all went to the city together. When we first entered the city, we didn't know the rules in the city. Please forgive me. Those who don't know are innocent. Let's go now."

Yang said a few words to please the other party.

Unexpectedly, when the other party saw Yang showing weakness, he would be even more reluctant: "You stinky fishermen come and go whenever you want in this city?"

"That's right, if you don't catch your fish well, and follow others to go to the city to make money, you have to see if you have that fate."

"You can leave if you want, just keep all the coppers you earned tonight, and pay five taels per boat to cross the river, and then you can leave."

Five taels?The lion opened his mouth wide!

Return a boat of five taels?I don't know if the four boats made twenty taels tonight.And after working hard all night, who wants to post back?

Sure enough, the three of Qi Defu jumped up when they heard it: "What about robbery? We worked hard all night, you didn't do anything, came out of nowhere, robbed when you stopped, and returned the boat gang? Collect money for crossing the river? Do you think You are officials!"

"Yo ho, are you planning to pay the money for crossing the river?"

"It seems that the bad rules came on purpose. Originally, we only wanted you to keep the money for crossing the river, but now let's keep the boat too. This inland river is not where you can come and go whenever you want."

A man who looked like the boss of a boat stood at the bow and said something.

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and saw a few thug-like people on the boat, jumping into the three of them fiercely, trying to snatch the scull from the hands of the three of Qi Defu.

How could the three of Qi Defu give them the scull board.

The scull board was given to them, which means that the boat was also handed over to others.Not to mention that this boat is their livelihood, and it has been with them for many years, so they are not willing to hand it over to others.

The three of Mi Mancang soon wrestled with the people who came up to snatch them.

Xiao Miaoer yelled to go up to help, but was held back by Yang.Zou Sheng stepped forward to help Mi Mancang, but was thrown by a man and almost fell into the river.

Yu Ya trembled with fright, bit her lip and looked at Yang Shi.

"Stop, you all stop, speak well if you have something to say!" Yang was so impatient, she turned her head and shouted at the boat boss standing on the big boat, begging him to stop, and talk well if you have something to say.

The boat boss ignored Mrs. Yang and just watched with interest.

If you want to do business in Neihe, you have to listen to him and let him decide.Whoever dares to break his rules, he dares to let anyone go around.

Some boat owners nearby were sweating for Qi Defu and the others, wanting to step forward to help, but a little afraid of the boat boss.Afraid of his retaliation.

I felt annoyed at the fact that I had to pay five renminbi to the other party for earning ten renminbi, but no one dared to resist.Although there is a lot of money for filial piety, at least I can still lose half of it.If you offend the boat gang and lose your job, it will be difficult to make a living.

Huo Xi was in a hurry.Turning around, I saw that the other party was blocking the mouth of the river with a boat bigger than them. Once the mouth of the river was blocked, their boat would not be able to pass.

Even if you want to turn around, Dongshuiguan and Xishuiguan go in and out, and you can't get out of the city by going to Dongshuiguan.Unless it's just wandering in the river.But the inland river is the other party's territory, as long as you sail, the other party will definitely find you.

Unless the ship is gone.

But they still have their cargo on board.Besides, what do fishermen use to fish without their boats?
Huo Xi hated it so much, ordinary people, why is it so difficult to earn some money!Not to mention the fishing tax is usually collected when fishing, this will want to earn extra money, and some people will jump out to block the way.

Just as he didn't know what to do, he turned his head and saw a person walking in the street, who looked familiar.

I took a closer look, but it didn't look familiar, so I hurriedly ran over to the other party.

"Brother He!"

He Feng was patrolling the street with two of his men.

The emperor canceled the curfew, and the streets were full of people who came out to watch the excitement.

Originally, it was not their turn to patrol the streets. This was all the work of soldiers sent by Jingzhao Mansion, but now that there is a curfew, the government servants in Jingzhao Mansion are not enough.

"The common people went to the street to watch the excitement, but we Kuhaha are patrolling the corners." One person kicked and stomped, complaining.

Another person also complained: "That's not true. I don't give a salary increase. I just want to warm up in the barracks while patrolling the streets in the dark in such a cold day."

"If only there would be a drink here."

"Do you still want to drink while patrolling the streets? You are so beautiful!"

"Should I just say no?"

The two subordinates took a step behind and complained. He Feng hugged the saber, his face was serious, and he looked around, not daring to relax.

"Who is it?" Seeing the sound of footsteps Dada running towards them, He Feng's two subordinates immediately raised their voices, holding knives on guard.

"Brother He, Brother He!"

Hey, do you know me?He Feng's two subordinates looked at him together.He Feng also looked up.

Yo, I really know each other.He Feng twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Brother He, do you still know me?"

Huo Xi panted and looked up at him, seeing him smiling at her, knowing that the other party recognized her, she was very happy.

"Last time, I wanted to thank Brother He for taking care of me all the way, but when we left, I didn't see Brother He. I kept thinking about it."

Seeing the child remembering his kindness, He Feng felt warm in his heart, and looked behind her: "Why did you enter the city alone so late?"

"I didn't go to town alone. I went to town with my mother and a lot of people we fished with, but now we've got some trouble."

There will be a local snake, and I don't know who to turn to for rescue. Finally seeing He Feng as the straw, Huo Xi doesn't plan to let it go.

Stepping forward, he grabbed He Feng's robe, pleading in his eyes: "Brother He, my family is in trouble, can you help us?"

Seeing that she had such strong anticipation in her eyes and regarded herself as a straw for survival, He Feng's heart softened.

"lead the way."

Huo Xi trotted all the way to keep up with his footsteps, and explained the reason of the matter all the way.

He Feng knew it in his mind.

What kind of ship boss dares to act as a tax official in the capital and raise a banner to collect money from boat owners?Either someone is covering him above, or he has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard.

"I heard that someone has collected river money here?" He Feng said coldly with his saber in his arms.

The fierce battle inside was in full swing, and the onlookers and boatmen surrounded them several times.

Hearing He Feng's words, they all turned their heads to look, and saw three officials standing there with sabers in their arms, and shuddered.

"How much did you charge? Report it here too, so I can report it to Master Jing Zhaoyin." He Feng said to the people on the big boat coldly.
