It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 109

This is Yangzhou, and it is Yangzhou where one third of the world is full of moonlit nights, and two of the rogues are in Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is a good place, with beautiful mountains and rivers. There are not only good articles that are famous for the ages, but also good women with waists that are softer than water.

Of course, there are others too...

There are numerous large and small boats moored at the pier, and the merchant boatmen come and go in a shuttle. The coolie alone carrying the sack is also different from Youzhou.

On the chaotic pier, a group of people was particularly obvious. When the people on the pier saw it, they all avoided it. They couldn't escape, so they had to bite the bullet and say hello.

"Master Lu, you have worked hard, and you have been doing well recently."

"Liu, don't talk nonsense, you haven't paid your share for this month, how much money you earned today, take it out."

"Master Lu, you are gracious. This is for my mother's medical treatment. Next time, I will collect it and send it to you."

"What nonsense, you can bring it here."

A group of people rushed up and kicked the man to the ground, and found the money bag from his arms. Lu Ziye weighed it with his hands, shouted bad luck, waved his hand and said, "Bum, don't be an eyesore in front of your master."

Lu Ziye is a member of the Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang is not only found in Yangzhou. In this era, water transportation has a very important economic status. There will always be such a group of people gathered on the pier, relying on the water to eat. Everyone used knives and sticks to grab territory, and the Cao Gang came together.

Lu Ziye is the person in charge of this pier, the cargo ships that enter the port, the economical toothbrush, the coolie carrying the sacks... In short, even the beggars who beg at the pier have to contribute money to the Cao Gang.

Cheng Dalei looked down on the deck, the bustling scene here was also eye-opening, and he couldn't wait to appreciate the local customs and customs of Yangzhou. Xu Shenji, Gao Feibao, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zilong, Liu Zhi, Su Ying, and Little White Wolf disembarked with him, and the others remained on the boat.

"Remember to call me after you get off the boat, we are a family from the North, don't bring the bandits out, Yangzhou is a gentle place." Before getting off the boat, Cheng Dalei was making the last order, and he was not worried about the others, he was worried It's Zhang Fei and Gao Feibao.

Several people can't wait, there is a kind of anticipation of the old hat entering the city for the first time.

However, several people were stopped before they got off the boat.

"Why is it the first time to come to Yangzhou, no one even understands the rules of Yangzhou City?"

Seven or eight people were blocking the bow of the boat, Lu Ziye squinted his face, and he was full of Yangzhou mandarin.

Xu Shenji looked at each other in dismay, not because they were stopped, but because they didn't understand what these people said. Yangzhou dialect and Youzhou accent are very different. Although everyone can barely understand a few words, they can't make a series of words.

Cheng Dalei understood and could speak, but at the moment he did not speak.

Lu Ziye frowned and said impatiently, "There is no one who can speak human words, a bunch of old hats."

I can probably guess the meaning, and I felt a little inferior for a while, and the eyes of those who wanted to find someone in charge all looked at Su Ying.

Su Ying didn't speak Yangzhou dialect either, and her expression was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, a man wearing a small hat came out and said, "Everyone, everyone, I am the tooth shop here, you can call me rich and noble."

Lu Ziye: "Fugui, it's your kid. You talk to these hillbillies and don't let us do it."

The wealthy smiled and said to Xu Shenji: "Masters, this is Master Lu of the Cao Gang, and this is Master Lu's territory."

Xu Shenji knew about the Cao Gang, and also understood the power of the Cao Gang at the pier. He cupped his hands and said, "It turned out to be the brothers of the Cao Gang, everyone has worked hard..."

"Who is your brother." Lu Ziye didn't even lift his eyelids.

"..." Xu Shenji.

"Everyone, when you go to Caobang's territory to do business, you must speak the rules of Yangzhou."

"What are the rules here?"

"We are drawn out of ten. The workers who carry the goods must be from the Cao Gang. Who you can sell to and who can't be sold to, the Cao Gang must decide." Fugui said.

"One draw out of ten means that 10% of the goods are from the Cao Gang?" Xu Shenji knew that the Cao Gang had a lot of power at the dock, but he didn't expect the Cao Gang to be so powerful.

"What if I don't want to abide by this rule?" At this time, Cheng Dalei separated the crowd and walked to the bow.

Cheng Dalei spoke Yangzhou Mandarin with a very crisp accent. Lu Ziye looked him up and down, and saw that he was wearing a brocade robe, mink velvet wrapped around his neck, and a huge gem on his belt.

Just looking at it, Lu Ziye almost covered his mouth and laughed. A group of people chattered and whispered.

"Where did this barbarian come from? I don't know the weather in Yangzhou with this dress."

"It is estimated that at their place, this is all a good dress."

"Hehe, hillbilly."

Cheng Dalei's head was full of black lines, and he knew that Yangzhou's aesthetics were different from Youzhou's. Well, now he is regarded as the big brother in the northeast who wears mink and carries honey.

Lu Ziye waved his hand to signal the surroundings to be quiet, and he said, "This rule is set by Caobang, and it is for everyone's business to flourish. If you don't want to keep it, then the people and cargo on the boat can't disembark. Nurgle, what should we do with bandits and pirates or something, our Cao Gang has to keep one side safe, right?"

Hey, how did he know we were bandits.

"Is that so..." Cheng Dalei smiled and beckoned: "Come, come here, and I'll teach you the rules."

"What's the rule?"

"I thought what was the matter? Don't you just want money? Let me tell you, the three melons and jujubes exposed in the crevices of Grandpa's fingers will be enough for you to eat and drink for the rest of your life."

Lu Ziye glanced at Fang Dalei. Although this man looked uneducated, he was estimated to be rich and a nouveau riche from the North.

He grinned and rubbed his hands closer: "You know the rules, what do you have?"

"Look carefully." Cheng Dalei pressed the spring with his hand, and with a clang, the sword was unsheathed, and with a wave of his hand, it slid across Lu Ziye's neck.

A sword seals the throat.

Blood dripped out, Lu Ziye's body shook three times and fell to the ground with a thud.

Cheng Dalei threw the sword, and the blood dripped across the air, but the black iron sword was not stained with any blood. If it is said that the sword that Li Xingzai left to Cheng Dalei is really good, killing people without blood, sometimes one cannot underestimate the forging skills of this world.

The audience was shocked. Zhang Fei and Gao Feibao looked at Cheng Dalei with wide eyes. What they thought in their minds was: Don't you mean to be civilized, polite and polite, but what about Cheng Dalei...

Even when he was a bandit in Toad Village, he had never done this before.

Fugui stumbled in fright and stammered, "You, you..."

Cheng Dalei returned his sword and sheathed it, covered his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, and said impatiently, "Tell everyone, I, Mr. Oubaou, have arrived, and from today, the Lord of the Realm will set rules."
