The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 566
Someone is dishonest, what should I do?
Beating of course!
Leizhou and Liuqiu are not close to each other in the sea area. If the army wants to attack Liuqiu, it will cost people and money. Whether they can win or not depends on the will of God and the weather.

Zhao Dongting didn't plan to make a big fuss.

It is only now that it has negotiated peace with the Yuan Dynasty, and Dali is staring at it in the west.Going to collect Liuqiu has no advantages, not to mention a lot of disadvantages. It is a very loss-making business.

But Xiaoxiao like Cai Jianjiu cannot continue to control Liuqiu.After all, [-]% of Leizhou's nautical trade comes from Liuqiu.

Without Liuqiu trade, Leizhou will not be able to maintain the momentum of rapid economic development.

As a result, Zhao Dongting, who couldn't stay idle in the palace and wanted to seek an opportunity to break through to Shangyuan Realm, naturally had the idea of ​​traveling to Liuqiu.

A group of five people are all dressed as rivers and lakes.

The boat is a rented black boat.It's just that there are no trade documents with Liuqiu, and only dare to secretly do some smuggling and other ships.

Except for a few honest-looking sailors who steered the helm and raised the sails, there were six gangsters who looked quite evil.

As for the passengers, there were only five people from Zhao Dongting, and two small families, all of which were four-member families, and there were pretty young ladies in the family.

The leader among the men in the rivers and lakes is a big man in gray clothes, with a simple knife on his body, his face is like a martial arts scar, very hideous, as soon as he ordered the boat to sail, he spit into the sea angrily, "His grandma, business is really getting better now The harder it is to do!"

No wonder he has resentment.

The Liuqiu port is banned, so that those who work in the gray industry really have to lose too much and too much income.

This trip, if it wasn't for Zhao Dongting's extravagant spending, they wouldn't have sailed to Liuqiu at all.The sum of the money paid by those two small families was not enough for a fraction of what Zhao Dongting paid.

The anchor was pulled up, the sails were hoisted, the oars were rowed, and gradually went to the sea.

Zhao Dongting paid a lot of money, and it was because the big donors on board did their part, so the five of them enjoyed different treatment when facing each other.Not only can you stay in the cabin, but you can also eat fresh vegetables brought from land with the thugs and sailors on the ship. This is what was agreed upon boarding the ship.As for the two small families, they could only live in the dark warehouse, eating hard dry food.The thugs on the boat only provided them with a little fresh water.

Zhao Dongting had no communication with these two families who could be seen at a glance as coming from ordinary families.

On board, each rests in the cabin and in the cargo hold.When the door panel of the cargo compartment is covered, it is two completely different worlds.

Zhao Dongting naturally has the ability to let the people of these two small families get the treatment of resting in the cabin, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do so.

Who knows what kind of temperament these two families are?
If they are allowed to live in the cabin, they are not satisfied and ask for more?

Fight Mien, promote Michou.

Zhao Dongting has seen too much, so he gradually loses the drive to help poor people when they meet them.

The sea is vast, except when the sun rises and sets, you can feel the passage of time, and the rest of the time it seems that the whole world is still.

There is also a clear distinction between thugs and sailors on board.The status of sailors is far inferior to that of thugs.

Most of the time, the two gangs are idle and have nothing to do, so they get together to gamble with dice.The thugs had to gamble bigger, and they could see some broken silver, while the sailors only saw copper coins in the gambling circle.

Zhao Dongting didn't have any airs, and was willing to lose some small money, so he became acquainted with thugs and sailors in just a few days.At least superficially cooked.

As for the two small families, except for the time to ventilate out of the cargo hold every day, there is no chance to get out of the dark cargo hold.

Of the two families, only one of them had a sallow and emaciated little guy who received special treatment from Zhao Dongting.Two days before dinner, Zhao Dongting would open the cargo compartment grille and hand over two plates of fresh vegetables to the little guy.Later, I got to know the thugs and sailors on the ship well, and the sailor who cooked didn't care about preparing some portion for the little guy when cooking.

The money Zhao Dongting lost to them every day was enough for them to sell Zhao Dongting's face.

Slowly, Zhao Dongting learned the details of the ship and some information about the forces behind the ship.

The boat is the boat of Hailong Gang.

The Hailong Gang has risen in Leizhou in the past two years, and the leader of the gang, Yu Quandong, was considered a well-known man in Leizhou before, with a cultivation level close to the Shangyuan Realm.

In his early years, Yu Quandong was engaged in the dart business in Haikang, and he accumulated a lot of reputation with his fists. Later, seeing that the imperial court encouraged maritime trade, he plunged into shipping.The black boats don't have to pay taxes, and the profits are huge. Yu Quandong quickly made a fortune with this, and established the Hailong Gang based on the bodyguards in the previous bodyguards, and then became famous, attracting many notorious rangers or in the world. Folk idlers.

Nowadays, there are dozens of gangs of all sizes doing black ship business in Leizhou, and the Hailong Gang is the most powerful one among them.

Originally, a big tree attracts the wind, and a gang like the Hailong Gang should be targeted by the government, but Yu Quandong is well-known in Leizhou, and he is very good at grasping the scale.After those notorious sensual and sensual people were accepted into the Hailong gang, they had something to eat, and they could go to brothels in the city to have fun and relieve their loneliness in their spare time, and they were suppressed by Yu Quandong, so they gradually tended to be honest stand up.

Seeing that the Hailong gang didn't cause any trouble, and saved the government a lot of trouble, the Haikang government officials turned a blind eye.

After Zhao Dongting returned to Haikang, Xiyi, the magistrate of Leizhou, reported the matter to Zhao Dongting and asked if he wanted to punish these Jianghu gangs.

Zhao Dongting's answer was only four words, "It's better to block than to block."

If there is a positive side in this world, there must be a negative side.No matter how powerful the court is, if this wave of gangs is wiped out, the next wave of gangs will surely spring up like mushrooms after rain.

Zhao Dongting's idea was that as long as they grasped the scale well and didn't make any big troubles, they were free to gather those notorious rangers and idlers in the Jianghu.If there is any big trouble, it will not be too late to make an example to the monkeys.

Even the top Jianghu forces in Leizhou like Xiulinbao can't stop the soldiers of the imperial court, how can the gangs gathered by these small fish and shrimps be able to stop them?
The boat, which is not big or small, has been swaying on the sea for more than ten days.

At this time, the fresh vegetables are naturally gone, even the thugs on the boat, Zhao Dongting and others can only eat dried meat.Fortunately, there is wine, so I don't find it very difficult to swallow.

There was a rather dignified aura that suddenly spread among the thugs and sailors, it was not obvious, but one could still find the clues upon careful observation.There is a sense of oppression that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building.

In the previous days, Scarface, who was called "Old Wutou", rarely went to the bow deck to watch, but in the past two days, he would go there every few ten minutes.

"Old Wu, how did I find that you seem to be a little nervous these two days?"

When the old Wutou walked back to the big cabin from the deck holding the simple knife, Zhao Dongting asked with a smile.

Old Wutou smiled at Zhao Dongting, but he looked even more ferocious, "Mr. Zhao, this place has reached the waters of the Dongsha Islands. There are a lot of pirates, so don't be vigilant. Although the name of our Hailong Gang is on the sea It’s pretty good, but recently Liuqiu doesn’t allow merchants to do business with us in the Song Dynasty, and the pirates have no business, so it’s hard to say whether they will sell our Hailong gang’s face again.”

He said something from the bottom of his heart even though it was realistic, "If it weren't for Mr. Zhao, you are generous, we really wouldn't take the risk to run this business."

"You old Wu head."

Zhao Dongting scolded with a smile: "Damn it, you're still acting good when you get it cheap. The money I lost to you these days is much more than the boat fare."

Old Wutou was not angry with the gold master either, he smiled and rubbed his callused hands, "Young master, you are polite."

The rest of the thugs also laughed.

"Old Brother Ang! Old Brother Ang!"

At this time, panicked shouts from sailors suddenly sounded on the outer deck of the cabin.

Old Wu Tou's complexion changed suddenly, and he suddenly turned red. The centipede scar on his face seemed to come alive at this moment, and he hurriedly ran out of the deck.

The thugs didn't care about continuing to gamble, and hurriedly put the broken silver in front of them into their arms, and hurried out.

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly, and after looking at Hong Wutian and others, he just nodded slightly.

There are some things, of course there is no need to ask Hong Wutian and the old Jianghu.They all know that each of them has crossed more bridges than Zhao Dongting has traveled.

Old Wutou quickly ran back into the cabin again, with an ugly expression on his face, "Master Zhao, some pirates are coming towards us, why don't you...you hide in the cargo hold?"

Zhao Dongting was puzzled, "If they want to search the ship, would it be useful to hide in the cargo hold?"

Old Wutou was a little embarrassed, "Young Master Zhao, you are dressed in rich clothes and jade belts. If pirates see you, you may be regarded as a fat sheep. The cargo hold is dark, and they won't look so closely."

"OK then!"

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, then nodded.

Kumano reached out to open the grille leading to the lower cargo compartment, and the five of them climbed into the cargo compartment one by one along the wooden ladder.
