Another morning, Shouchun City, Fanyuan.

Yang Qinghou looked at Lou Qianhuan who appeared again today thoughtfully, and asked slowly: "Do you mean you can let us go?"

"Yes, but there are conditions. You must ensure that everything ends here and you must not cause trouble again. Then you will leave me Shouchun within today and leave Huainan within three days." Lou Qianhuan looked back at him and made his own request.

"Is there such a good thing? Don't you have ambushed many soldiers outside, wanting to trick us into killing us after we go out?" The brothers of the Cao Gang side were suspicious and couldn't help asking.

"You are so suspicious. You are always in our control. Why do you do this too much if you really want to harm you?"

"Then why did you suddenly change your mind and willing to let us go easily? If I remember well, you were still pressing each other yesterday to force us to hand over the water transport rights of Caohe with the safety of our brothers and our families. If you can't explain the matter clearly, I dare not believe you. It would be better to stay here, so you won't have to worry about food and drink here anyway." Yang Qinghou's momentum turned up, and the old god was sitting there leaning against the ground, looking indifferent.

"You... haven't you been shouting to leave before? Why are you giving you a chance now but not leaving?" Lou Qianhuan was very annoyed, but these Cao Gang men didn't take him seriously at all. They still looked at him with a smile, sitting lazily, completely looking like they were determined to eat him.

Seeing that they were not leaving without explanation, Lou Qianhuan sighed and could only compromise: "Okay, I'm not afraid to tell you some truth. Because something happened on the Caohe River, the remaining people in the Caogang are very powerful and are extremely brave. They actually intercepted and controlled all the merchant ships and tax ships in both Huaihe Rivers. For the sake of the overall situation, we can only let you go."

"So that's it." Yang Qingxiao said, but she was a little confused. Is this true? Many of the backbone members of the Cao Gang who came from him were taken down by them. Can anyone outside have the courage to do such a thing?

But then, he thought of his sister and his prospective brother-in-law Li Ling. If anyone can help him get out of trouble and seize the pain of the government, it is indeed Li Ling. But this alone is enough to make the government surrender and release himself and wait? You know that they were still shouting for a day ago. Even if there was a problem with the canal transportation, at least they could delay it for a while.

Seeing that he was silent, Lou Qianhuan felt even more impatient and urged him again: "Gangmaster Yang, I have already made it clear and I will never hide it. Please leave quickly. The previous thing was just a matter of writing..."

"No!" Yang Qinghou raised his eyebrows and immediately captured the other party's impatience and uneasiness. This emotion was obviously not just about doing business, but also had a deeper hidden feeling. So he became more calm: "No hurry, I haven't explained some things to you yet."

"What...what?" Although he was impatient, Lou Qianhuan could only suppress his emotions at this time to deal with it.

"That's the damage to my Cao Gang in this matter. This time, my brothers were detained for two months by you for no reason, which greatly damaged my Cao Gang's business. How should I calculate this? Also, you and Dajiang Gang and others attacked us before, causing hundreds of brothers to be injured and killed in my Cao Gang. How can I calculate it? "If so many brothers die in vain, I, Yang Qinghou, cannot explain it. So I asked me to leave and I will not pursue this matter in the future. You have to give compensation!" Since I have captured the other party's weakness, Yang Qinghou will naturally not let it go easily, and will take the lead and quarrel first.

"Horse Yang Qing, you have figured it out. This is your last chance to escape. If you still want to make a profit, don't blame me for attacking you!" Lou Qianhuan's face suddenly darkened and he whispered. He really didn't expect these guys to be so arrogant. He thought that after he agreed to let them go, these warriors would leave immediately without any warning that they would be so verbally.

In fact, the brothers from the Cao Gang side were also unable to keep up with the rhythm of their own gang leader. They thought they were about to leave, but the gang leader threatened the other party, which made them feel a little nervous. What should they do if they annoyed the other party and regretted it and refused to let others go?

However, Lou Qianhuan's words could not scare Yang Qinghou, and he looked relaxed: "It's nothing if you want to regret it. I will continue to stay here. Anyway, you are in a hurry."

"You...you are simply outrageous, you are just a mess!" He was shocked and angry, and Lou Qianhuan was a little confused about what words to use to scold him.

"You are the ones who are outrageous! My Cao Gang has always been law-abiding and worked diligently, and helped the court communicate with the north and south without complaining. It is also a bit hard work, right? But you, for no reason, attack us on us on false charges for no reason, not only arresting us under house arrest, but also threatening the lives of the brothers in the gang, but also killing more than a hundred brothers in my gang... The matter in this world cannot escape the word "reason". If you harm my Cao Gang like this, can't we seek justice? I don't ask you to pay your life, but the money to pay for my brothers in the gang can't be less. Otherwise, why should I, the leader of the Cao Gang Gang, convince the public?"

Yang Qinghou's words made Lou Qianhuan speechless, and finally he could only snort: "Are you going to be enemies with my two Huai governments?"

"You are the ones who are in front of me first! Since it has fallen into your hands, our brothers have long been willing to die. We can take our lives, but we want us to compromise. No! It was not possible before, nor now! Each brother who died in death would have a funeral pension of fifty taels of silver, not a penny!

"You really dare to speak loudly!" Hearing this number, Lou Qianhuan almost jumped up, but after seeing the firm appearance of Yang Qinghou and other Cao Gang men, he finally understood. The other party obviously understood that the situation had turned around. It was the government begging them to leave, so he boldly made such unreasonable requests.

What made him even more helpless was that this matter was really bad, otherwise his family would be in danger. Then, when there was a big problem with the canal transportation, the court sent someone to investigate, and not only his official position, but his life might not be saved.

Facing Yang Qinghou's determined gaze, he finally gave in again: "You...you wait, I'll report to the adults and give you another reply." As he said that, he quickly got up and ran out as if he ran away.

It was done. When Yang Qinghou saw him say this, he felt even more confident. His judgment was indeed good. The other party had great concerns or had a handle on the Cao Gang, so he had to compromise.

It was not until Lou Qianhuan left that the others came back from their trance just now: "Gangmaster, are they really being restrained? Not only are they willing to let us go, but they are also willing to give more compensation?"

"Gangmaster, this is all true? Could it be that they have any conspiracy, right?"

"Gangmaster?"

Faced with the brothers' inquiries, Yang Qinghou smiled: "The facts are right in front of us, and we are completely safe. Obviously, our brothers outside have seized their handles, so we must not lose our momentum and always seek justice for the dead and injured brothers."

"What the gang leader said is that no matter how strong their government is, they cannot harm our brothers like this. We must give us a satisfactory reply and compensation for this matter, otherwise we will not leave!"

"What I said is that if we don't leave, we're just spending time with them!"

Everyone was confident. They were worried about whether they could leave safely, but now they are unwilling to leave easily.

The following facts also proved that the Huainan government was indeed panicked. Lou Qianhuan left for less than an hour and hurried back. Although his face was very ugly, after seeing them, he suppressed his emotions and forced a smile: "What you said is not unreasonable. My government is willing to give compensation, but you must also guarantee that the matter will be given up and no more noise will be caused by this."

This is an intention to compromise. Yang Qinghou smiled: "Of course, the Cao Gang man is the one who keeps his word and spits out. As long as you compensate the money, you will return all the ships and goods we had previously seized. By the way, there are related compensations, we will not mention this matter again."

Although the other party suddenly had a few more conditions, at this point, Lou Qianhuan was no longer interested in arguing with them again, so he nodded quickly: "Then let's make up for it. I'll raise money now and park the cargo ships and other things back to the dock, and then you can leave!"

"That's of course. But don't make the compensation mistake, otherwise..."

"Ten thousand taels of silver in the silver are enough to compensate for everything, right?" Isn't bothered to be petty with these guys anymore, so Lou Qianhuan quickly reported a number, which was their bottom line.

Yang Qinghou and others were a little stunned, and nodded decisively: "That's it!" They thought the other party would bargain, but they had made plans to slowly grind. Now the compensation of 10,000 taels really makes them unable to continue to get entangled. After all, for the many gang members of the Cao Gang who are suffering, dozens of taels of silver are indeed enough to settle their families.

As Lou Qianhuan handed these silver notes to Yang Qinghou, after he checked them, the more than ten Cao Gang men immediately stood up and left the Fanyuan, which had been imprisoned for nearly two months. Then, without any stay in Shouchun City, he quickly left the city and headed straight to the dock.

It was not until the news came back from their cargo ships that the officials who had failed to lose the rice were truly relieved.

In Liu Du's hands, there was an urgent letter sent from the capital, which was written very clearly. Just a few days ago, the governor of Jiangnan Wen Ming suddenly impeached officials from both Huaihe River to commit misconduct and exploit local ship owners, causing changes in the canal river and the waste transportation was cut off...
