I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 254 The Korean ship carrying private goods, Su Liang’s overbearing punishment!

An hour later, Yangzhou Port Terminal.

Where the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River meet, the water of the Yangtze River flows mightily to the east.

On the water, the axis spins thousands of miles, and the flags cover the sky.

There are laborers carrying goods, trackers packing ropes, travelers on merchant ships disembarking with laughter and laughter, and many vendors carrying poles selling various snacks and supplies on the shore.

The liveliness is comparable to Nanmen Street in Bianjing City.

Su Liang and Su Shunyuan came to the dock with more than ten people.

Not long after, a middle-aged man who was extremely fat and looked like a ball of hair came over panting.

"Huang Youdao, who was promoted to the Yangzhou Shipping Department, met with Su Yushi and Su Zhizhou. He was disappointed when he was demoted. It's really..."

Su Liang directly interrupted him and asked: "Huang Tiju, is there a Korean merchant ship in Yangzhou Port at the moment?"

Huang Youdao thought for a while and said: "Yes, a Korean merchant ship stopped half a month ago to buy porcelain. However, it has just left. It took about half a quarter of an hour to sail!"

"Chase, catch up with it immediately, and then intercept it!"

Huang Youdao was stunned.

"Su Yushi, this is inappropriate. It will damage our relationship with Korea. I think you should tell me what happened first!"

Hearing this, Su Liang's temper suddenly rose.

The culture of the Song Dynasty was about to be plagiarized by Goryeo, and he would not have time to explain the reason to the other party.

Su Liangtie's face was livid, he grabbed Huang Youdao's collar and said: "I don't want you to feel it, I just want what I feel, let's chase him now!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Youdao said quickly: "Yes, yes...yes...I will obey my order."

These low-level officials often have a big problem.

Before receiving an order from a superior, he always likes to inquire thoroughly rather than directly execute the order.

Su Liang didn't like him.

……

After a while.

Su Liang and others also boarded an official ship.

The length of this ship is about three feet, which is much faster than those big ships. Especially in this river area with many ships, the speed is far faster than most big ships.

There were three similar official ships in front of them, all chasing the Korean merchant ship.

Soon, Su Liang saw the Korean merchant ship.

The flag soldiers of the official ship waved flags at the Korean merchant ship, but the people on the Korean merchant ship did not react at all.

Su Liang looked at Huang Youdao, the elevating officer of the Yangzhou Shipping Department.

"Inform the officers and flag soldiers to speed up the two ships in front and block them in front. Even if the ships capsize, the Korean merchant ships cannot escape!"

"I obey your orders."

At this moment, Huang Youdao didn't dare to say any nonsense and immediately carried out Su Liang's order.

About a quarter of an hour later.

The Korean merchant ship was forced to the river bank and stopped.

The captain of the Korean merchant was about ten feet long and three feet wide. Due to the loading, the draft was quite deep.

It's impossible to run fast on this section of the river.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers set up the planks.

Su Liang, Su Shunyuan, and Huang Youdao boarded the Korean merchant ship with more than 30 soldiers and government officials.

Cao Hu and more than ten imperial guards.

There was a crossbow in his sleeve and a dagger at his waist, following Su Liang's side.

After Su Liang and others arrived on the deck, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe slowly walked over.

With an angry look on his face, he looked at Huang Youdao.

"Huang Tiju, what are you trying to do? If I hadn't stopped the boat in time, the boat would have been in danger of capsizing!"

Huang Tiju scratched his head and introduced: "Manager Li, these are Su Liang, our imperial censor and miscellaneous officer, and Su Shunyuan, the magistrate of Yangzhou. These two are going to your merchant ship to have a look."

"Li Wangzhou of the Kingdom of Goryeo has met Su Yushi and Su Zhizhou!" Li Wangzhou heard their names and his tone instantly became respectful.

Su Liang smiled and said: "Manager Li, today we are here to check whether this merchant ship carries any prohibited items. Please let everyone gather on the deck. We want to inspect the cabin."

"No...hasn't it been checked? Huang Tiju checked it himself!"

Huang Youdao rubbed his round belly and said with a kind face: "Recheck! Review!"

Su Liang said directly: "Let your people come out quickly!"

Li Wangzhou rolled his eyes, came to Su Liang, and whispered: "Su Yushi, I remember that there are indeed a few boxes of things belonging to the Song Dynasty. I was asked to bring them to the ship. I will have them taken out right now."

After saying that, Li Wangzhou glanced at his subordinates behind him.

soon.

Four men came to Su Liang and others holding four small square boxes.

Li Wangzhou picked up the box, approached Su Liang, then opened a corner of the small square box, and said with a smile: "Su Yushi, do you think this is it? If you like it, I have a few more boxes!" Su Liang At a glance, it was filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

He snorted coldly.

"What I, the Song Dynasty, don't lack the most is this kind of thing. Let the people in the cabin come out quickly. If they don't come out, I will order someone to break in!"

Seeing that Su Liang was not grateful, Li Wangzhou took out another letter from his arms and said, "Su Yushi, Su Zhizhou, please take a look at this first."

Su Liang took the envelope, opened it, and couldn't help but smile.

After Su Liang read it, he handed it to Su Shunyuan. Su Shunyuan took a closer look and couldn't help but feel happy.

Li Wangzhou was immediately overjoyed, thinking it had an effect.

This letter was personally written by the Privy Councilor Xia Song.

The content is to inform all river officials in the Song Dynasty to treat Korean merchants favorably, so as not to damage the harmony and cause conflicts between the two countries.

Su Liang smiled and said: "Su Zhizhou, keep this letter. I was worried about how to impeach Prime Minister Xia, but now I have a treasure."

In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, everyone knew that Su Liang and Xia Song were at odds.

And this Goryeo businessman still wanted to crush people to death at the highest official level, so that Su Liang was afraid of Xia Song's power and did not dare to investigate further!

Immediately, Su Shunyuan stuffed the letter into his arms.

Li Wangzhou looked depressed and looked at Su Liang again.

"Su Yushi, Su Zhizhou, my ship is carrying thousands of pieces of porcelain. If it is broken, you must compensate!"

"In addition, you have already searched once, but now you want to search a second time. It is really against the rules. Everyone knows that the Song Dynasty is a hospitable country, but what Yushi Su did today is extremely vulgar! I will definitely report it to my family and country. The Lord reported that if the search fails to reveal the prohibited items, you must write a letter of apology to me and post it in Yangzhou Port. It cannot be torn off within one month."

Su Liang didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and immediately said loudly: "Brothers, check carefully to make sure there is no omission. Don't be afraid of breaking the porcelain. Even if it is all broken, I can afford to pay for it!"

Hearing this, Li Wangzhou couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"You guys are going too far!"

The group of Koreans behind him were also clenching their fists and eager to try.

At this time, several guards behind Su Liang raised their arms and pulled their sleeves, revealing the sleeve crossbows inside.

Li Wangzhou was immediately frightened and shouted in Korean: "Everyone come to the deck first!"

Soon, hundreds of Koreans gathered on the deck.

More than ten soldiers and government officials immediately got into the cabin.

Among them, there are still two subordinates of Cao Hu, who are best at this kind of finding things.

The people behind Su Liang all held weapons and were not afraid of the hundreds of Koreans taking action.

This is the river course in the Song Dynasty.

If they dare to attack the officials, Su Liang can kill them all.

……

Click! Click! Click!

From time to time, the sound of breaking porcelain could be heard in the cabin.

boom! boom! boom!

Half an hour later.

There were sounds of heavy objects being hit in the cabin, and the deck shook.

Li Wangzhou lowered his head and remained silent.

Not long after, a soldier came up holding a stack of books.

"Su Yushi, we found a large number of books in the cabin, including many banned books, involving our dynasty's geographical laws, border affairs, etc..."

Li Wangzhou became frustrated.

"This time, I admit defeat. Please take all these books away! I don't want any porcelain either!"

Su Liang was stunned and asked: "Manager Li, you don't think you'll be fine after confiscating the books, do you?"

"You...what else do you want to do? I am a Korean, and I don't have to abide by your laws in the Song Dynasty. Even if I make a mistake, you should send me to Korea to be punished by the ruler of our country!"

Su Liang shook his head slightly, looked at the soldiers and government officials behind him, and said loudly: "All of them will be imprisoned, no one will be left behind. If their leader does not apologize to me, the Song Dynasty, I will let them sit in jail!"

"You... do you know that Goryeo is a vassal state of Liao? If you do this, you are provoking war!" Li Wangzhou said angrily.

He did not expect that Su Liang would imprison him.

Su Liang smiled slightly and said: "So what if it causes a war? Our Song Dynasty is not afraid of the Liao Dynasty, so why should we be afraid of a dog next to the Liao Dynasty. If he commits a crime in our Song Dynasty, we, the Song Dynasty, should be punished!"

On the side, Su Shunyuan was very excited.

In the past, he was unwilling to offend Goryeo, because the latter relied on the Liao Kingdom after all.

But at the moment, Su Liang gave him courage.

What should a small country like Goryeo have to fear? What’s more, the other party was at fault first.

After Su Liang said these words that were very insulting to the Koreans, none of the Koreans across from him dared to stand up and refute, or even raise their heads.

Because behind Su Liang were crossbows raised high.
