"The ship sinks? Just fish it out." Tang Yi said indifferently.

Wu Tiancheng was so anxious that he was sweating all over his head. He pulled Tang Yi, went to the side and whispered: "Master, someone did it on purpose."

"Oh?" Tang Yi realized something was wrong. He hurriedly walked out of the iron workshop, changed into clean clothes, and ran towards the dock. Wu Tiancheng followed closely behind and kept introducing the situation.

It turned out that in the morning, two large ships suddenly drove along the canal outside the dock in Taicang. The ship behind them circled beside the previous one, and the two ships were side by side, as if two door gods blocked the waterway.

The soldiers in charge of patrol rushed over and asked about the situation. However, many men in black jumped out of the deck and cursed the soldiers, just not letting go.

When he saw that the other party was making trouble on purpose, he hurriedly reported to Lei Qi. Lei Qi was patrolling the waterway. When he heard that someone was making trouble, he immediately summoned people to come. Many people joined along the way, and the team expanded to more than 100. At the same time, someone told Wu Tiancheng and asked him to find Tang Yi.

When Lei Qi arrived at the scene, the other party had already landed on a small boat, two or three hundred people, holding swords, guns, sticks, and standing on both sides of the canal. Some people on the boat even sank the ships. These two ships were made of large ships with thousands of materials. If they sank, no other ships would pass.

Since the opening of the canal, hundreds of ships passed by every day, and when the taxes were received, the hands were cramped. Seeing someone dared to cut off the wealth route, Lei Qihuo hit him up and his hair stood up.

"Who are you? Do you dare to go to the Yantitang to make trouble? Is there any other way to the king?"

Lei Qi cursed and walked out of the other party a guy in his forties. He was thin and thin, with golden eyes. He grabbed the few beards on his chin and smiled contemptuously: "Wang Fa? How much is it worth? If you have the ability, please come out and let the brothers see it!"

After he finished speaking, the thugs behind him laughed loudly, not to mention being too arrogant!

Lei Qi's face darkened, suppressed his anger and sneered: "Friends, are you deliberately provoking trouble? Since the Yantietang was opened, we have not offended anyone. We are doing business every time. However, please remember that it is honest, it does not mean that we are easy to bully!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers behind Lei Qi all showed their weapons, and both sides were tense.

"Oh! He's quite a temper!" The thin guy looked up and down at Lei Qi, and said without caring, "Master Luo is just trying to make trouble. What else can you do?"

Lei Qi sneered, "Then don't blame me for being rude. Finally, I would like to ask you if you want to get out?"

"The grandson is willing!"

"Okay, come on!"

Lei Qiyi waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed up as they screamed, their eyes turned red. The crazy spirit just scared the thin guy. They were all thugs, how could they play with their lives? How could he know that Tang Yili disagreed with the public and left 10% of the shares for all the workers.

Business is getting better and better. Everyone has bonuses and dividends. There is only a few dollars a month for the time being, but this is enough for everyone to regard the canal as their own industry. Not to mention a group of guys who jumped out of thin air, even if the officers and soldiers were trying to snatch the salt iron pond, they would dare to fight to the death!

Lei Qi found an iron rod weighing more than ten pounds from somewhere, and danced like flying. He hit three or four people when he went up.

"Which grandson is here to die!"

The thin guy retreated into the crowd. When he saw the people in Yantietang so brave and crazy, his brows also frowned. He turned around and looked at the big man beside him.

"Master Hu, I'm afraid you want to take action."

"Um!"

The man shook his shoulders and threw the cloak aside, revealing the cowhide vest. The muscles in his body swelled, his arms were thick, and his blood vessels were as dense as dragons, which was daunting.

The big man rushed up to Lei Qi with bare hands. At this time, Lei Qi had already knocked down five or six of them, and his righteous aura was like a rainbow. Seeing the big man rushing over, he didn't care, but raised the iron rod and smashed it down violently.

A shocking scene appeared. The man did not dodge or dodge, but raised his right arm and used his flesh and blood to hit the iron rod!

Are you crazy?

Everyone was stunned. With a bang, it seemed to hit the leather. Lei Qi felt his arms numb and the iron bar was almost thrown out. The big man just took a step back slightly, leaving a light red mark on his arm.

When an outsider watches the fun, he only thinks that the big man resists the attack. In fact, the insider knows that no matter how powerful he is, using his arms to fight the iron rod will only break the muscles and bones. The big man uses the rolling thunder force to hit the iron rod from the side to block the iron rod. But even so, his strong and hard skills are also frightening.

The big man looked at Lei Qi contemptuously and said disdainfully: "Do you still dare to do it?"

"Why don't you dare! I will kill you!"

Lei Qi's eyes were red and he had to fight to the death. No matter how hard he knew he was not a match for the man, he could not be afraid. At this time, because the route was blocked, several ships had gathered, and everyone was watching. If he took a step back, he would not be a man!

"kill!"

"Stop it up!"

The loud shout came, and everyone followed the sound and it was Tang Yi and Wu Tiancheng who came. Seeing Tang Yi coming, everyone breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, as if they had a backbone, and the two sides separated automatically.

Lei Qi's face turned red and he whispered: "Little husband, all Lei Qi is incompetent."

"Stop talking."

Tang Yi's face was solemn. He was far away and noticed that hundreds of people were wearing black short-shots, just like an axe gang, and they definitely didn't come out casually.

"Friends across the street, I think you must have some plans when you come to Yantietang to cause trouble. You might as well make the words clear. What's the point of fighting in such a confused way!"

The thin guy chuckled: "I'm not old, but I have some knowledge. Master Hu, can you talk to them?"

The big man nodded. The guy came to the front of the person again, squinted his eyes, looked at Tang Yi up and down for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said, "You are the famous Tang prodigy, right?"

Tang Yi did not comment, and then heard the guy continue to say: "I'm the next person, Luo and Luo You, who is a man from the martial arts world, and cannot be compared with Tang Prodigy. However, Luo wants to say, there are rules for each line, and Tang Prodigy's family has a scholarly family, why bother to wade into the muddy water? As long as you don't interfere, your penny will not be short, wouldn't it be better?"

"What a big tone!" Tang Yi chuckled: "You keep talking about the rules. Which company is the rule? You are a man from the martial arts world, and you dare to set rules for me?"

Luo You shook his head and said in an old-fashioned manner: "After all, he is a young man, he is very energetic. Although Luo is a man from the martial arts world, he is not a man from the martial arts world that you can afford. Tang Prodigy, how can we make the words clear?"

"It should have been like this long ago."

"Okay, let me tell you the truth. Here are people from Caokou!"

A bandit? Someone who calls himself so?

Tang Yi was a little stunned, and then understood that he was talking about "Caokou". The so-called Caokou is the predecessor of the Caogang. As we all know, the Ming Dynasty's grain production center was in the south of the Yangtze River, and it had to rely on the Grand Canal to transport grain to the north to supply the consumption of soldiers from the capital and the nine sides.

Around the Grand Canal, various gang organizations were formed, and Caokou was one of them.

The officials in charge of the grain transport collect grain from the people and will take the opportunity to exploit them and use the name of "floating harvest". But the people are not willing to accept it, so they surrender to prestigious gentry or fame students and hand over the grain to them, so that they can deal with the grain transport officials.

The initial Caokou was similar to the agency, but in fact it was a game between the local government and the court. However, Caokou gradually grew and evolved into Caogang. They controlled the civil servants and controlled the canal transportation, and did not allow outsiders to come in, and became a parasite lying on the canal to suck blood.

After figuring out these things, Tang Yi finally realized that these people were coveting the interests of the Salt Iron Pond and were deliberately looking for awkwardness!

Luo You saw Tang Yi frowned slightly and smiled, "Tang Prodigy, let alone anything else, the brothers in Caokou ate hard meals, and one drop of sweat broke into eight petals. The Yantien Pond is good, and the freight fee is only half of the Grand Canal. Those with shares can be reduced, which makes everyone run to the Yantien Pond, and fewer people walk through the Grand Canal. Brothers have no food to eat, so they must come to your camp."

"You're talking nonsense!" Wu Tiancheng wanted to refute. Tang Yi waved his hand to stop him, and talked to these people in a pure waste of water. He smiled at Luo You: "Don't go around in circles, just say it, what do you want me?"

"happy!"

Luo You smiled and said, "Tang Prodigy is a wise man. I only have three conditions. From now on, the brothers at Yantietang Wharf will join us Caokou. It is our brother. Luo will not treat them badly. Second, take out 30% of the canal ticket number, and with Caokou's help, the ticket number can be opened throughout the world. Third, the taxes of Yantietang must be transferred to the same as the canal."
