It is impossible to see who it is.

Yang Chengli's mind went blank and his eyes were unfocused.

The blond shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop stumbled towards Yang Chengli and said in horror: "Sir, what should I do?"

Yang Chengli brought him back to his senses with a horrified cry.

No, this matter must not become a big deal.

He tried his best to take a deep breath, calm down his emotions, and shouted to his men, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you take down Qin Mo and Zhao Duyan!"

After speaking, he turned to face the crowd of people to show that he was listening.

"This is the ordnance ordered by Kyoto for the soldiers of Xishan Camp. It is not the ordnance of Nanzhao Kingdom. Anyone who maliciously fabricates facts and spreads false rumors to incite public anger and stir up trouble shall be punished on trial. Who shouted just now? Take the initiative to admit this

The officer will be given a lighter sentence because of your frankness.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it, anyone around you who reports it will be immediately rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!”

In the crowd, three or five men immediately pushed a tall and thin man out, "He was the one who shouted!"

The tall and thin man tried to resist, but was immediately tackled by the government servants brought by Yang Chengli and his mouth was gagged.

Over there, Qin Mo was detained by the government officials, and the government officials and Zhao Duyan's gangsters fought fiercely.

Yang Chengli looked at Qin Mo with venom in his eyes, "Mr. Qin was receiving salary from the imperial court, but he was colluding with local gangsters. Now that he has failed to blackmail merchants, he bribed people to fabricate rumors. How brave he is!"

Qin Mo looked at him indifferently, "Am I colluding with the gangsters, or is Master Yang committing treason?"

Yang Chengli stepped closer and was almost close to Qin Mo's ear, "It depends on whether you have the life to tell this matter!"

After saying that, Yang Chengli took a step back and greeted the owner of Tongxiang Trading Company, "Let your guys get on the ship and send it out. The important events of the imperial court cannot be delayed!"

The owner of Tongxiang Trading Company glanced at Qin Mo. Qin Mo nodded slightly. The owner immediately greeted his men and raised his voice and shouted, "Master Yang said, this is the ordnance ordered by the imperial court for the Xishan Camp.

We can’t delay, get on the boat!”

The guys responded and boarded the boat.

Seeing the merchant ship leaving the dock, Yang Chengli let out a sigh of relief.

As for what happened next, he could just tell a lie to smooth things over. Besides, his sister was the prefect's third concubine, so everything was a matter behind closed doors for her family.

Even though the prefect was polite to Qin Mo, if something really happened, they would not be the only family.

Seeing that there was no trace of fear on Qin Mo's face, Yang Chengli sneered, "You are really tired of living!"

"My lord, my lord!"

As soon as Yang Chengli finished speaking, one of his personal followers stumbled over, "The prefect is here!"

Yang Chengli said angrily: "Come here, come here, we will just come and deal with all these rebellious elements, and bring peace to the people."

The confidant was sweating anxiously, and his words were awkward, "No, sir, not only the prefect is here, but also the officials from the capital are here."

Yang Chengli's eyelids twitched and he broke into a cold sweat, "Who is here?"

Before the confidant could say anything, the sound of horse hooves was already approaching.

Jingzhao Yin came from Kyoto overnight, bringing not only thirty forbidden troops, but also a group of Yamen servants from Jingzhao Yin Mansion, totaling about fifty or sixty people.

All riding tall horses, a group of people rushed towards the pier. The battle brought with it a strong sense of oppression.

Yang Chengli's thighs suddenly softened and he turned his head to look at the ship that had already set off.

The boats that originally left the dock turned around and came back for unknown reasons.

Yang Chengli's heart was beating like thunder and he was breathing rapidly. Taking advantage of the confusion, he turned around and tried to escape from the crowd. However, before he could take two steps, the tall and thin man who had been taken down by the government officials suddenly jumped up from the ground.

He kicked Yang Chengli towards him.

Yang Chengli let the kick fly up in the air, without leaning to one side, and with a bang, he fell straight in front of Jing Zhaoyin's horse's hoofs.

The horse was so frightened that he neighed and raised its hooves, almost falling and trampling him to death.

Yang Chengli was frightened and rolled up to his feet. He was so frightened that he did not dare to move when Jing Zhaoyin gave an order.

Riding on a tall horse, Jing Zhaoyin read out the imperial edict with a flick of his eye, "... His Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation of the merchant ships here. Anyone who does not cooperate will be killed without mercy! Come, tell me to arrest the people on the merchant ships."

Take the goods together! No one present is allowed to let go!"

The arrival of the imperial army only serves as a deterrent force.

The real people doing the work are the yamen servants of Jingzhao Yin Yamen.

They skillfully classified and controlled the ordinary people, gangsters, Jinnan government officials, and merchant clerks in the crowd quickly.

The ships that sailed out quickly docked at the dock again, and Jing Zhaoyin's government officials immediately rushed on board, taking people away and looking at the goods.

"Sir, these are weapons bearing the national seal of Nanzhao!"

The officer on the boat shouted at the top of his lungs, causing the people on the shore to burst into an uproar.

"Didn't Mr. Yang say before that this was prepared for the Xishan Camp?"

"Is it really the national seal of Nanzhao?"

"Is this colluding with foreign enemies?"

"Damn it, are you going to use the lives of our Jinnan crew members to seize Nanzhao Kingdom's ordnance?"

Discussions broke out one after another, and Yang Chengli fell to the ground with a pale face, unable to even utter a word to beg for mercy.

After all, he just insisted in front of everyone that these were the weapons of the imperial court.

The owner of Tongxiang Trading Company took two steps forward and begged Jing Zhaoyin for mercy with a frightened look on his face, "Your Excellency, it is clear that when our firm received this order, Jinfa Rice Noodles and Oils Shop only said that it was transporting rice noodles, and our crew members who came all the way on the ship only said that they were transporting rice and noodles.

They were responsible for sailing and repairing the ship, and they were all followed by the guys in their shop. We really didn’t know it was ordnance.

I just realized that there was a commotion at the dock here, and that there were ordnance inside.

But Mr. Yang said that this was ordered by the imperial court for the soldiers of the Xishan Camp."

While talking, the officer escorted the crew members off the ship.

Jing Zhaoyin ignored the owner of Tongxiang Company and only asked the crew, "Didn't you all sail out? Why did you sail back again?"

If the crew hadn't driven the ship back, they wouldn't have taken the ship away so easily.

The crew member trembled and said: "I didn't know there was ordnance on the ship before. I just thought it was rice, flour, grain and oil. No one thought much about it, let alone looked at it. But just now it turned out that it was ordnance, and some people said it was from Nanzhao Kingdom or something. After we got on the boat, we were a little curious and took a look, but Wang Xiucai recognized that it was the national seal of Nanzhao. We were so frightened that we turned back quickly."

"Wang Xiucai?" Jing Zhaoyin raised his eyebrows.

A lean man in his forties with a mustache was brought in, "The student is Wang Xiucai. In the early years, the student studied in Qianzhou and saw the national seal of Nanzhao, so he recognized it.

As soon as they discovered that the ordnance was the national seal of the Nanzhao Kingdom, the students did not dare to delay and immediately informed the other crew members.
