I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1029 Li Tian Weifu Private Interview
In their life, they are truly carefree and happy enough to forget all their troubles. How many opportunities do they have?

Why bother to be such a boring person who destroys their happy atmosphere.

Li Tian, ​​who had already reached the door, suddenly turned and left.

"Go prepare some side dishes and a pot of wine for me, I'm hungry!"

"Alright, old slave, let's get ready."

Li Tian didn't bring many guards with him on this trip, and he didn't travel as an emperor.

Not all the people on board knew the true identities of Li Tian and the others.

In the eyes of those who don't know, Li Tian is just a super rich man.

And this ship, in order to conceal people's eyes and ears, can play a role of surprise, and no details have been announced to the public.

Although these officers and soldiers on the ship are still soldiers of the imperial court in name.

But on the surface, they have actually become temporary employees of Li Tian's ship owner. Until now, they still don't know what their mission is.

Keeping most people in the dark is actually Li Tian's intentional arrangement.

After all, going to Nanjing this time is dangerous, and no one can guarantee that someone will leak the news on the way and attract people with ulterior motives to assassinate.

If it was only Li Tian himself, he would not be afraid, but at this moment, there are girls Zhang Qinghuan and Sun Ruowei beside him.

If something happened to them, it would be absolutely intolerable.

Another point is that Li Tian actually wants to follow the example of Kangxi and Qianlong in later generations, and come to the south of the Yangtze River six times, private visits in microservices and other jokes.

So during the day, the ship will raise the spare sails that are almost useless, pretending to be a sailboat with a colder shape, and the speed will be reduced to the same speed as other sailboats.

At night, you can run as fast as you can.

Because they have to wait for Zheng He's new army to arrive in Nanjing together, their speed should not be too fast.

But in this way, it is considered a good thing, at least it gave Li Tian an excuse to take a temporary rest and hang out in the places he went for two days.

On this day, more than a day after the ship set off, they arrived in Cangzhou, Hebei.

Since the ship has not traveled such a long distance in one breath since it was built, for the safety of the steam engine, they plan to temporarily stop for a period of time, which can not only let the steam engine cool down, but also give the maintenance personnel time to repair and flow out.

This stop is estimated to take about a day, so Li Tian plans to take Zhang Qinghuan and the others to wander around Cangzhou City.

By the way, experience the feeling of Weibo private visit.

The girls who were already obsessed with board games were reluctant to get off the boat to play.

Li Tian spent a lot of effort and promised them to go shopping and buy whatever they want. After he was responsible for paying the money, the girls reluctantly agreed to her for the sake of money.

Li Tian once again proved with facts that things like shopping are absolutely attractive to creatures like women, and they can even temporarily give up their favorite board games, which shows how attractive it is.

Cangzhou can be said to be a particularly magical place.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Cangzhou had already become a city of considerable scale.

But because it borders Yan State, Zhao State, Qi State, and Jin State, it naturally became the object of repeated competition among several families, so people living in this area practiced martial arts and had a tough style.

Later generations call Cangzhou the Lion City and the capital of martial arts, which actually has historical reasons.

After the territory of the Ming Dynasty was basically stabilized, Cangzhou was divided into Hejian Prefecture in Northern Zhili Province.

Although it only bears the name of a county at this time, Cangzhou is one of the main roads from the north to the south because it is close to the canal. The transportation is convenient and the flow of people is very large.

People of all colors gathered together to make this place not only have the power of the government, but also many sects of the rivers and lakes entrenched, forming a special situation in which black and white parties jointly control this place, do not invade each other, and are interdependent.

Because Cangzhou is only a one-day journey away from the capital, generally speaking, the law and order in Cangzhou is relatively stable.

Otherwise, the imperial court might have sent someone to clean up this place long ago.

After all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is not allowed, the power not under the control of the court is too powerful.

But since there are forces in the rivers and lakes, there must be disputes.

Small gangs and small groups often have street fights in order to fight for control of a certain place. It is also a very common phenomenon in Cangzhou, a place with strong folk customs.

However, due to the existence and suppression of the government and large gangs, Cangzhou City has set an unwritten rule.

That is to fight in the city, and no irons are allowed.

The so-called not allowed to see iron objects, to put it bluntly, means that weapons that are too lethal are not allowed to be used.

To put it bluntly, that is to say, fighting is okay, but you can't kill people.

After a long time, all the Jianghu gangs in Cangzhou city also acquiesced to this regulation. After all, this is an unwritten regulation to protect everyone's life safety.

But the atmosphere in Cangzhou City today seems to be a little bit wrong.

The reason is that when the two gangs were fighting today, people were killed, and more than one person was killed or injured.

A small gang was almost completely wiped out, leaving only a half-sized boy who went out to do errands, and escaped unharmed by luck.

Not long after Li Tian and the others landed, they were attracted by the crowd gathered together.

They had nothing to do, so they gathered together to watch the excitement.

Originally, Zhang Qinghuan and the others were also excited, but when they heard that someone died inside, they immediately retreated.

Only Sun Ruowei, a girl, might be used to being in the middle of the rivers and lakes, so she is not afraid at all, and even a little excited in her heart.

At this moment, several yamen servants in soap robes pushed away the crowd. The leader of the yamen servant seemed to have just come out of that restaurant, and was still picking his teeth with fishbone as he walked forward.

Ya Chai with this posture looks like that kind of old fritters.

A dozen or so people were killed or injured on the street, but he wasn't panicked at all, and he was even in the mood to pick his teeth, which showed that he was no stranger to such things.

After casually walking around inside, he tilted his neck and said to the people around him,

"These streets should be the territory of Songhetang, have any of their people come?"

Just a little while after saying this, a handsome young man with a folding fan came out from the crowd.

"My lord, I am the steward of Songhetang. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!"

The official inspected the young man's appearance up and down, and said with some doubts,

"Why haven't I seen you before? When did you become a steward?"
