Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 64 - Filming the Flower

The Tanggu was a city where the seaports and ports intersected. The sea river flowed straight into the sea, and the fort was in fact guarding the mouth of the sea river. The Qing Dynasty was afraid that the foreign troops and ships would go straight into Tianjin from the sea.

The place where the rivers and seas met was a place where business flourished since ancient times. A majority of the goods could basically be exchanged for the Great Qing kang boat s which would head upstream along the sea river, directly entering the Grand Canal and then transporting them to different parts of the country. As for the goods in the Great Qing Province, they would gather towards the canal and follow the sea river to enter the Tanggu, where they would eventually board the merchant ships that were to trade overseas.

This was an incomparably huge transport network, with tens of thousands of people living on this business network. Black, white, plain and dark, all of them were sucking the nutrients from this river of money. For example, the dirty mouse who was guarding the dock at the shore of the sea, the strongest general under the Xiao Pi Sun, was living off of the kang boat s protection fee.

"Oh my god! But it hurts so much, Master Sun's actions were too ruthless. I've been with him for more than ten years, he even had some hard work without any merits … "Pei pei pei, how the hell did you serve me? You want to burn me to death in such a hot cup of tea?" dirty mouse was lying on a bed with two tables placed together, wailing loudly.

Beside him stood four or five disciples with wretched figures who were all dressed in training clothes, bowing and kneeling as they waited on him. The was the grandson of the Xiao Pi Sun, but on this one-third of the sea and river docks, he was the Supreme Earth Emperor.

"Please be careful. Although this tea is hot, it is still a proper Xihu Longjing. Your disciple has a bit of filial piety. You have to appreciate my kindness …" One of his disciples came over with a giggle, busily changing the tea leaves and fanning himself.

At this time, dirty mouse's mood improved a little. He pointed at the three kang boat s in the sea river in front of him that were unloading their goods, "You guys go over and tell them the kang boat s that are unloading their goods today, their landing fees will be increased by three silver coins each … "Fuck, is it that easy for this grandpa to suffer so much? Even if I'm injured, I still have to watch …"

When the disciples heard that there was oil today, they all excitedly rubbed their fists and walked towards the kang boat that was unloading the cargo like wolves. Not long later, all the captains on the river surface were filled with complaints. However, no matter how much they complained, under the threat of these thugs, they still reluctantly took out some silver coins in the end.

dirty mouse took a sip of his hot tea, feeling extremely at ease, "Hehe, even if I have to kill the people at the foot of the ship shop who are innocent, you bunch of grandchildren are not that much cleaner than us … Complaint? "No more f * cking bullsh * t! This daddy here is going to raise money …"

Just as he was nagging, two beautiful figures suddenly appeared in front of him, causing dirty mouse's saliva to flow down. It was two women that had just walked down from a passenger boat. A girl dressed as a woman attracted everyone's attention as soon as she landed on the dock.

Oh! These two women were too beautiful, the clothes and jewelry they wore were obviously expensive, and the most disgusting thing was the noble aura these two women were emitting. They were not things that normal girls could have, such a self-confident and proud temperament was extremely rare amongst Great Qing Dynasty women.

The eyes of all the men at the pier lit up. The laborers with strength subconsciously retreated, as if two fairies from the Moon Palace had come. The humble man would naturally feel embarrassed in front of them. The delinquents, on the other hand, started to have crooked thoughts. When they tried to approach the two women to strike up a conversation, they found that the followers behind the two women were not so easy to mess with.

Who wouldn't provoke a person who wouldn't be able to tell at a glance. The four burly men behind the two women were emitting a murderous aura. This was not the temperament that a normal person should have when travelling in the martial arts world. Other than the usual domineering aura, there was a strong scent of blood.

dirty mouse squinted his eyes. He knew that these people were not to be trifled with, but the number of women that he had mesmerized by taking advantage of the fact that the dirty mouse was born was no less than 20. He could immediately tell the worth of these two women. If it was sent to a brothel, it would sell for at least five hundred taels of silver.

"Pei pei pei, why am I so useless? If I give these two top grade goods to Master Sun and the Yellow Lord, my territory would be three times larger. Give me at least two more wharves, that will be my life's business …" Thinking about it, the dirty mouse hardened her heart, giving her subordinates a meaningful look, as if she was going to attack.

Originally, did not want the two of them to come to Tanggu for business, but he could not stand these two women's coaxing. Adding the fact that Fan Lian had a batch of goods that he wanted to use to enter the Tanggu, it just so happened that he had to go through the sea and river. I brought them along the way.

However, they underestimated the anxious hearts of Hu Niu and Fu Hui. Under their constant 'threats' and 'coercion', the chartered passenger ship actually left the group and left the kang boat behind, charging straight for Tanggu at the very top.

"Sister Hui, I'm a bit seasick. Let's go to the teahouse by the pier and have a sip of tea …" Hu Niu had not even finished speaking, when the guard Wang Huaiyuan came over and spoke out. "Miss, there are too many people here, it's not a good place, let's just enter early."

Ever since the incident of Xiang Shaolong's kidnapping, Xiao Letian's underlings treated security as the most important thing. Originally, Wang Huaiyuan was opposed to the two women leaving the caravan, but he couldn't resist the pestering of the two. Now, Hu Niu actually wanted to rest and drink tea at this pier that was filled with fish and dragons mixed together.

At this time, the tea shop assistant had already come over, "Esteemed guests, would you like to rest and have a cup of tea? "We have a private room in the tea house. The ladies can also rest here. Although our tea house is simple and crude, it is also a three room shop. You can choose any new tea from that year …" There was no need to mention how polite the waiter was, he could be the 'grandpa', 'esteemed guest', and 'grandpa' as he walked in.

Wang Huaiyuan could tell that something was wrong with this teahouse, since it was located at a dead end of the dock. Even though most people could not see the place clearly, most people should not have picked this place out as a place to buy and sell tea. Wang Huaiyuan took a step forward, separating the two of them.

"It's better if you greet the other guests. We have our own arrangements …" But right at this time, a dizzy Hu Niu suddenly walked to the side of the road, holding onto a small tree and started to vomit.

Fu Hui was also angry at this time, she said in a stern voice: "How did you serve me? The young miss is already dizzy like this, and you still want to rush back without resting? Your Mr. Xiao wants you to treat the young miss like this? "Seriously, today I must drink some tea …" With that, he helped Hu Niu up and directly walked into the tea house.

No matter what, Wang Huaiyuan knew how inferior they were. Helplessly, he led his subordinates into the tea house and vigilantly looked around like a hawk.

"Waiter, give me a pot of Longjing before the rain. I want two plates of clean tea …" With that said, he patted Hu Niu's back. Not long after, the waiter brought a pot of hot tea and some snacks over. "Dear customer, please enjoy yourself. This is the best Dragon-Well before the rain. If you're hungry, the rotten meat noodles and steamed buns in our shop are excellent …"

Just as the waiter was about to pour two cups of tea and go out, Wang Huaiyuan stopped him and pointed at the cup and said, "Drink one first, I'll take a look."

"Aiyo, just look at what you're talking about. Who do you think I am to dare to drink esteemed guest's tea? That's a pot of good tea worth five silver taels, isn't that the same as giving me a lifespan …" The little fellow dodged left and right, but Wang Huaiyuan and his subordinates blocked his path, they could not leave without drinking.

The waiter finally understood. He stared and said, "I finally understand, do you think I'm a scam?" "Our teahouse has been working on this pier for 4-5 years. Go out and find out who the people on the pier don't know me …"

"What do I care about them? "I'll let you have a drink. If you don't, you won't be able to walk out this door …" Wang Huaiyuan said coldly. At this moment, the owner of the tea house, a skinny old man, also walked over. "Masters, how can you say this? This is a serious business deal. This old man is born and bred here, so he won't do harm to others …"

After all this, Hu Niu was a little embarrassed, "Enough, Big Brother Wang don't force them, what can happen to the bright and clear sky …" After saying that, she reached out to pick up the teacup.

However, Wang Huaiyuan was exceptionally stubborn. With a flick of his hand, the teacup in front of Hu Niu appeared in his hands, and he held it up to the little fellow. "You'd better drink honestly, otherwise you won't be able to walk out …"

The waiter's face had turned white. It was unknown whether he was angry or frightened, but in the end, he actually took the teacup and said, "Fine, I'll drink …" He wasn't afraid of the heat. He raised his head and gulped down a cup of hot tea. After finishing up, he didn't go to the corner stool and sit down. "Aren't you suspicious?" "I'll let you all watch …" With that, he picked two more pastries and stuffed them into his stomach.

Now, it was Wang Huaiyuan's turn to be embarrassed, but even if they were embarrassed, they did not get Hu Niu to immediately carry the cup. "You guys have time to rest, but I still have to earn some money for my family. What are you all doing wasting my time like this …"

Fu Hui felt a little embarrassed as she took out a piece of foreign currency and said, "Let's spend it, fellow, we were wrong about you." Only then did the little fellow start laughing, she took the foreign currency and walked out of the room.

After this farce, the tea on the table had already warmed up to the point where it wasn't hot enough to boil. Everyone shared a cup, and after resting for a bit, Hu Niu's face gradually flushed red.

Just when they were about to rest, a few figures suddenly ran over from outside the pier, and shouted together with the crowd: "Everyone go watch the show, Second Demon Xiao Letian has struck it rich with his foreign currency, the foreign currency is flowing out like water, he has spent over a hundred thousand foreign currency … …" Three hundred households against a Alone overseas. This is a western view that only happens once every hundred years … "

After shouting for a while, the pier exploded. idler who didn't have anything to do, all ran towards the city.

When Hu Niu and Fu Hui heard Xiao Letian's name, their ears perked up. At that time, they did not feel seasick as they put down the tea money and walked out, but no one noticed that the waiter did not send them out. What they didn't know was that not far away, in the washroom, the young boy was furiously buttoning his throat and spitting something out.

"Aiya, my mother, you're vomiting bitter bile. Thankfully it was a slow-acting medicine, or else I really would have been exposed …"

The wharf where Hu Niu and the rest were off the boat was still quite a distance away from the Tanggu street, so they had to pass by at least two villas.

Just as everyone was about to reach the edge of a cornfield, the farmer suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Guests, please wait a moment. I drank too much cold water in the morning …" After saying that, he drilled his way into the corn.

Just as the Fu Hui sisters were holding their noses and frowning, twenty thugs suddenly came out from the two sides of the road, and surrounded them with a sinister smile.

"Down!" Hurry up and fall … "Hahaha, even if you're an old martial artist, you still have to drink our foot washing water …"

"Oh no, we got slow drugs! "I was too careless …" Just as Wang Huaiyuan finished speaking, she suddenly felt dizzy, and the scene in front of him started to spin.
