The east of the city is always very lively, the port is there, the canal leading to the city extends from there, the shipping is busy, and there are many shops, even in the early morning of winter, it is also a bustling scene.

Zheng Yuanya knew the way from his home in the east of the city to the port by heart. Walking through the alleys extending in all directions, he found two "tails" behind him very early on, but he remained calm and never turned his head back once.

Ever since he taught the soldiers under General Fan Wei a lesson in public and reported himself as his family, he has been harassed by these Qiu Bas. Ordinary people would have a headache when encountering such things, but Zheng Yuanya grew up on a pirate ship. , Dealing with rogues and villains since childhood, every day is a troublesome day, and he quite enjoys it.

Walking to the corner of the alley, Zheng Yuanya drew out his knife, biting the blade with his teeth, and placed it on the walls on both sides of the narrow alley, as agile as a monkey kicking his body. On the wall, he leaned on it and waited.Soon the people following him came into view, Zheng Yuanya looked down from a high position, they were two villains, they looked stronger than the soldiers he had dealt with before, one of them was bald, wearing a bamboo hat commonly used by sailors, The other had a scar on his face, and both of them were holding knives. Judging from their attire, it was obvious that they were soldiers of General Luchang Fan Wei, and they were like leeks.

Zheng Yuanya jumped down from mid-air and rode on the shoulder of the bamboo hat. The handle of the knife in his hand fell down and hit the head of the bamboo hat.The bamboo hat fell to the ground, Zheng Yuanya flipped over, ran a few steps quickly, turned his head and swung the knife, screaming, and kicked viciously towards the scar he had chopped.

He picked up Scar's hand with the knife on his shoulder, stepped on the opponent's abdomen, and threatened: "Go back and tell you General Fan, if you come to trouble me again, I will trouble his son!"

Fan Wei has a son named Fan Rong, who is an embroidered pillow, and often goes to brothels and washhouses in the east of the city.

"have you understood?"

Zheng Yuanya yelled angrily. His posture of stepping on people and carrying a knife was an excellent interpretation of a gangster in the eyes of others. At this time, he didn't know that someone was passing by the alley, and he was frightened by his angrily yelling.

Seeing Scar nod his head fiercely, Zheng Yuanya raised his foot and let him go, Scar hurried to leave.The bamboo hat that was unconscious on the ground moved twice, and was waking up, Zheng Yuanya took his knife away, turned and left.

Three steps out of the alley, Zheng Yuanya smelled a pleasant fragrance, thought it was a woman approaching, raised his face, and it fell into the picturesque eyebrows, bright red lips, and obviously frightened eyes.

"Shh..." Zheng Yuanya was very dissatisfied, he was completely forced to do this, he had a knife in his waist and held two in his hands, thinking that he would scare the beautiful women passing by.

However, this beautiful woman did not avoid suspicion, as if she didn't understand the relationship between a man and a woman. Zheng Yuanya sized her up from head to toe, and found that her frame was bigger than a woman's, and she was also taller. Blind to this point.

What the hell, the man is dressed so gaudyly, and his eyebrows are clearly trimmed.

Zheng Yuanya turned his head and glanced sideways, seeing that the passerby was also looking at him, his eyes met, the passerby ran away in fear.Zheng Yuanya seemed to have a sense of accomplishment, he was still a big boy at heart, he grinned as he watched the man get scared away.

The streets were full of people, Zheng Yuanya didn't care about the suspicious eyes cast by others, he carried three knives, and swaggered towards the port. His family's sea ship was moored at the port, and it was loading today, so he came to help.

Although Zheng Yuanya didn't recognize the famous (though not very famous) Xiang Goro in the west of the city, Zeng Yuanrong did.After all, this person is very similar to the legendary Zheng Yuanya, he is very young, he bullies the weak in the alley, and he looks fierce, besides, when he gets close to him, Zeng Yuanrong smells a special fragrance.

He is a person who is extremely sensitive to smells, and the aroma smells strong and oppressive, which makes him feel uneasy.He once made such a cake by accident, and then Xiaoyu said not to throw it away, but said that he would give it to Zheng Yuanya.

Zheng Yuanya...

Zeng Yuanrong watched the celebrity sway and disappear into the crowd, and the invisible sense of pressure disappeared from him. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the fragrant medicine shop in front.

When he went out to buy incense, he was accompanied by a servant, but just now he sent the servant to buy pearl powder nearby, but he hasn't returned yet, so he is alone at this time.He didn't like noisy places, he thought about buying the spices quickly and returning to his safe and comfortable home, the east of the city was really scary.

Being regarded as the source of terror in the east of the city, Zheng Yuanya was unconscious. He walked to Haoqu, casually threw the two handed knives into the water, and looked up at the people coming and going around.

He was in a good mood, tidying up the loose clothes from the fight just now, his fingers touched the gold sachet chain hanging around his waist, he lifted the sachet, lowered his head to sniff it, and then put it down again.

He doesn't like fragrance very much, as Kong Wu's powerful and good man, he doesn't like the elegant notes of scribes, but the fragrant cake in this sachet was given to him by Chen Yu.

In fact, the smell is okay, after all, it was given by Xiaoyu.

During these days, Zheng Yuanya was frequently harassed by the soldiers in Luchang, and rarely went to play with Chen Yu. Besides, when winter came, his ship was also preparing goods, so he wandered around the port almost every day.He is quite busy. Xiaoyu heard that he is learning Fanyu recently, so he is probably also busy, and he hasn't seen him for several days.

Zheng Yuanya swayed out of the east gate, and suddenly, the harbor was full of sails, and countless fish and dragons were flying on the mast. In the distance, the sea and sky were the same color, endless.The corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes sparkled, he loved such scenes, he deeply loved the sea, the boat, the sea breeze, and even the starry sky on the sea at night.

A person who has lived on a ship since childhood will not dislike the closed space on the ship. Their vision is the world full of novelties outside the cabin, and the unrestrained and freedom of being at home in the world.

In winter, countless ships are moored in the harbor waiting for the monsoon. There are many sea merchants in Quanzhou Port, and the sea merchants have ships. Among these sea merchants, the fleet of the Liu family is the most spectacular.

Zheng Yuanya walked along the Liu family's fleet, the huge ships made his heart beat more than the beautiful women, he was envious from the bottom of his heart.Sea-going ships need to spend huge sums of money to build, and the cost of repairing the hull every year and the cost of the crew are also huge. Many sea merchants do not own their own ships. They take other people's sea-going ships, rent beds and warehouses, and occupy the ships. A small position actively participates in maritime trade. This method is called "knotting".

Maritime merchants like the Liu family have dozens of ships under their name, and they are truly wealthy.

Zheng Yuanya looked at his "beauty" and unconsciously walked half a circle along the harbor. He saw someone standing on the boat waving to him in front of him. At first he didn't recognize him, but when he took a closer look, he realized it was Qi Shichang.

Qi Shichang was wearing rough sailor's clothes, holding a cable in his hand, obviously working on the deck, and the ship he got on was naturally the Chen family's sea ship.A wooden hoopoe stands on the wind pole, and on the flag hangs a big "Fuxin" written on it, which is the name of the ship and also a signboard.

Zheng Yuanya raised his hand and nodded, he and Qi Shichang don't have any friendship, although it's a bit funny to see his appearance at this time.Qi Shichang used to live a life similar to that of a dandy, with gorgeous clothes and money in his hands, but now he is on a ship to do sailor work, obviously he is "oppressed" by his father and relatives.

Zheng Yuanya continued to walk, passed several large and medium-sized sea boats, between the two big boats, he saw his own short, small sea boat, he grinned, it was a self-deprecating smile.

In fact, he doesn't mind it. Although the ship is small, it can sail, it can accommodate people, and it can load goods. It's all right!

Looking up, I saw my father Zheng Sanguan who was standing on top and yelling at the sailors to work. My father has always been so mighty.Zheng Yuanya vigorously climbed up the boat ladder and jumped into the boat. Zheng Sanguan glared at him and said harshly, "Where are you going to hang around? You're only here now, why don't you go down and carry that thing up!"

Zheng Yuanya didn't say that I just climbed up, why didn't you say it earlier, talking to my father, if you talk about me, you will be beaten, Zheng Yuanya slipped down the rope ladder silently.

Zhao Yousheng looked through the official ship's account book at home until late at night, and heard the sound of dogs barking and people outside. He opened the window and looked, and found a big fire burning somewhere in the city, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

He was thinking about what was going on, put on his clothes and went downstairs, and met Zhang Yi and Wu Chu in the courtyard, they were obviously woken up too.Wu Chu went to open the door, and Zhang Yi said to Zhao Yousheng: "Mr. Lang, you haven't slept so late, do you want to watch the fire?"

Zhao Yousheng replied: "Go and have a look."

On a winter night in the harbor, the wind is strong and the fire is strong, and the fire may spread to nearby residents.

So the three masters and servants went out. As soon as they left, the rest of the family woke up. Because it was late at night and it was cold, they didn't want to go out, so they all went upstairs to watch.

Zhao Yousheng walked halfway, and met several groups of people rushing to watch the fire, among them were brothers Zhao Zhuangkun and Zhao Zhuangdie, they didn't know what was going on, which house was on fire.

I rushed to the fire point, only to hear that the Siliyuan was on fire, and that someone set it on fire!

This is amazing!In the majestic Si Liyuan, there lives the Si Li who has commanded thousands of miles to join the army, but there are still people who dare to set fire to it, it is lawless.

"Could it be..." Zhao Zhuangkun had a guess. They deliberately let out the news that the account books they found from the official ship were handed over to Si Li to join the army.

But they didn't expect that Mr. Yan would suffer an unreasonable disaster because of this, and they hoped that everyone would escape.

I heard that on the day they arrested the official ship and put it in custody in the Si Li Yuan, Zongzheng Zhao Bumin hurried to the Si Li Yuan and asked Manager Yan for the account book of the official ship, but returned empty-handed.

"It should be." After Zhao Yousheng's initial shock, he no longer doubted that King Xi's family could do such a thing.

What they handed over to Manager Yan was the official ship's fake account, but Manager Yan didn't know that, according to the procedure, the fake account would be registered and locked into the warehouse.It seems that the warehouse should be set on fire, and people from King Xi's family tried to burn the evidence.

"What's the use of setting fire to the Sisi Yuan, we have copied a copy." Zhao Zhuangdie was dumbfounded.The fake account of the official ship is also evidence, so they backed it up.

You must know that Xi Wang's family has been doing evil in the local area for many years. They have never been threatened at all before, and they have indeed become lawless. Now, in order to cover up the evidence of the crime, they may even kill people and silence them, let alone burn down the warehouse of the Sisi Yuan. .

"Look who it is." Zhao Zhuangkun lowered his voice and pointed to a group of people in front of him.

That was a group of descendants of Wang Xi's Fang Zhi, about seven or eight of them, led by Zhao Jidao, they were talking and laughing as they watched the burning of the Si Li Yuan.

"Follow." Zhao Yousheng lowered his voice.

The author has something to say: Zheng Yuanya: In fact, before my family washed their hands in the golden basin, there was a big boat.
