Chapter 278 Plan

When I returned to Dongfeng Inn, after I shouted this sentence, not only the clients on the road heard it, but the turtle slaves heard it, but also the pleasure boats on the nearby water were heard.

It can be seen how big his voice was. Some people who are interested showed a thoughtful look when they heard it. At least this news could be sold to Deng Liao as a favor. Jiang Feng and his group did not care about the dilapidated Qingfeng Pavilion, nor did the door lock, and they left swaggeringly.

One of Jiang Feng's guards went to the government office to handle matters. After all, someone died in Qingfeng Pavilion. Although the other party was the first to commit an offense, some procedures were still required to leave.

Originally, this group of people didn't take the title of the so-called Sea Dragon King too seriously, but then they found that things were not as simple as they thought. They walked out of West Lake and saw someone following them. The other party's tracking did not require any skills, and they just followed them swaggeringly.

Moreover, more and more people were following. When Jiang Feng and his team arrived at the inn, there was a team of nearly a hundred people behind him. They followed in broad daylight. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they have been very strict in the gathering of civilians. If the number exceeds a certain number, the local government must respond.

The reason is that cults always rely on gathering crowds to rebel. Generally speaking, when there are more people, they are provoked and make things worse. But now more than a dozen people are walking in Jiangfeng, but nearly one hundred people are following behind. This is the most prosperous time in Hangzhou City. These people are walking on the streets, and the people around them dodge in a silent way and dare not say a word.

They even passed by several yamen, but when the yamen runners at the gate of the yamen saw this, they always raised their heads, pretended to go to the yamen to do business, turned a blind eye or pretended to be stupid. Jiang Feng shook his head, it seemed that the foreign Japanese pirates would not dare to make trouble locally because of their own harsh killing.

But now the Ming Dynasty's pirates became fierce. You should know that when the Ming Dynasty officials faced Japanese pirates, there was still a bottom line for Chinese and barbarian defense, and they could not be softened anyway. Therefore, although the Japanese pirates burned, killed and looted the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there was no such thing as officials who surrendered to the enemy. But if they were local bandits and pirates, this situation was different. Since ancient times, things like colluding with officials and bandits and raising thieves and self-respecting themselves are not uncommon.

Most of the officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are from middle-class families, and their family industries are indispensable to have some activities at sea. Moreover, the pirates make money every day, and the money they give to the yamen is scary, so naturally they spare no effort to protect themselves. Therefore, Deng Liao could not only run rampant at sea, but also spend a lot of money on land, but also do everything in the way.

When we arrived at Dongfeng Inn, Jiang Feng's two hundred guards rested in the yard and were not allowed to go out on weekdays, so the people following us couldn't see anything. But after following us, these people stopped leaving and just stopped outside.

There was a faint sense of surrounding. Among Jiang Feng's group, except for Monk Li, the rest of the people did not take these things seriously. Instead, when they walked to the door, the shopkeeper of Dongfeng Inn led a few leading men to kneel at the door and kowtowed to Jiang Feng repeatedly. Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, thinking why.

Dongfeng Inn is also a big inn in Hangzhou. It’s not that the level is so high, but the place is big enough, and Jiang Feng and others have also booked the entire inn. Of course, officials like him always have various concerns when traveling, so they directly say that they are a business group that comes to Hangzhou for business.

The shopkeeper of Dongfeng Inn knelt on the ground with a sad face. He thought that his actions would at least cause the other party to ask "Why are you?", but he didn't expect that Jiang Feng and his group would just look at him coldly and not speak. The shopkeeper finally said:

"Boss Jiang, if you are a pitiful young man, you can move out!"

This inn was originally contacted by Monk Li. Seeing the boss's behavior, he felt his face lost and said anxiously:

"Why should I move out? Isn't the old men paying enough?"

The shopkeeper raised his head and looked at the hundred people outside the yard staring at the inn. He couldn't help but chill and said in a low voice:

"My uncles, you have offended the Dragon King of the Sea. Someone just now has already informed all the inns and car shops in Hangzhou Prefecture, saying that the people who took in you will not open the shop in the future. You are pitiful to me. My shop is also a ancestral property and cannot be destroyed in my hands!"

Hearing this, Jiang Feng said to himself:

"In this city, I'm afraid that the magistrate of Hangzhou and the yamen of the governor do not have such majesty?"

Zhang Liang squatted down there, looked at the shopkeeper of Dongfeng Inn, and said with a smile:

"Shopkeeper, are you afraid that the earthworm will offend us? I will destroy your whole family..."

This was like a joke. The shopkeeper was angry and thought that you guys were not moving away. Could it be that I could turn against you and chase someone? He even said such bastard words. He was about to start scolding him, but suddenly he saw that the young man opposite didn't look like a joke at all.

Although he was smiling at the corner of his mouth, there was a gloomy breath all over his body, and he couldn't help but chill and didn't dare to say anything. However, if these people didn't move away, the one who was unlucky was himself, so he had to go out with the courage to walk towards the crowd surrounding the inn there.

In the Deng family manor outside the city, the young man was jumping and cursing in the hall. Around him were a few old men in their fifties, each of whom did not seem to be good people. Some of them were persuaded by Mr. Deng’s call and scolding. Another old man sitting in the first place asked the follower of Mr. Deng in the morning:

"Do you see clearly the origin of the people who killed the King's Cavs?"

The old man obviously had some prestige here. As soon as he spoke, even the arrogant Mr. Deng calmed down. A follower stepped forward and bowed and said:

"I heard that the accent is from Jiangbei, maybe people from the capital, they are dressed in the clothes of merchants, but there are no patches and worn. This is a bit strange. They all use standard steel knives from the army, and they are quite well-organized when used."

Speaking of this, another old man sitting on the side spoke, looking like he had a rather irritable personality. When he was talking, he patted the coffee table next to him with his hands to set off his emotions and said viciously:

"There are nothing else in the Ming army that can't be bought except weapons? Now, the people who are learning about traversing and trespassing the world are all the styles in the army. I'm really blind to touch our bad luck in Hangzhou Prefecture. I won't leave any one tonight."

This statement was obviously very consistent with Mr. Deng's intention. He turned around and said to the old man who had just said harsh words:

"Uncle Fifth, our Deng family has never suffered such a loss in the city, otherwise all the prestige of so many years would have been lost here."

The more steady old man before also nodded. What he feared most was that he lost his power and lost face on his peers because of something. This was equivalent to the weakening or disappearing of the authority he had worked hard to maintain. In this way, many dissatisfied forces naturally emerged.

Thinking of this, it is also in line with the saying:

"Our brother is on Shuangyu Island and often follows us and tells us that although we must restrain ourselves on land, we must not lose our prestige at will. The prestige of our Deng family has been hard-working at the sea, but we must not throw it on land. To add more people tonight, and we must also handle some things in the government."

The followers below nodded and bowed and retreated. The young master Deng gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, I'm going to see these people who are being scattered tonight."

The shopkeeper of Dongfeng Inn was already planning to spend money to find an official from the yamen to chase people, but in the afternoon he was dumbfounded to see these northerners who he thought were merchants, and took out shields, steel knives, muskets and armor from the loading boxes.

It wasn't their turn to see the rest of the things. The shopkeeper and the clerk were tied up by Jiang Feng's guards and threw them in. Anyway, the Dongfeng Inn had all kinds of supplies, at least today's dinner was still in place. The local government in Hangzhou was indeed greeted at night, but one greeting was the Deng family manor outside the city, asking the soldiers and yamen runners tonight's patrol tonight to be farther away from the Dongfeng Inn, accompanied by this greeting. The officials in charge naturally accepted it with a smile and arranged it. Anyway, the bodies were tied with stones and threw them into the West Lake the next day, and there were no troubles.

After the first greeting, no one expected that the steward of the governor came over to explain something arrogantly. This was the parents of the civil affairs department of a province. The officials of Hangzhou Prefecture naturally flattered him and thought there was something extraordinary. No one expected that this greeting was particularly similar to the news above, and that they would not care about the surrounding Dongfeng Inn at night.

Now the residents around Dongfeng Inn have gone clean, and they have all been warned that no matter whether you stay in a hotel or a relative to each other tonight, they will move back the next day. Looking at the other party's bright knife and symbolic compensation of hundreds of cents, who dares to say more?
