In a house not far from the pier, two floors are filled with men wearing silk and satin. Monoculars are no longer new, and each one is looking at the scenery on the pier.

All the local gentry and salt merchants in Yangzhou were present, and those who had huge differences in interests with Chen Xie were basically there. On the huge second floor, there were men with belly-studded men. These people were all ready to come and see Chen Xie joke. The cabinet department of a country passed through Yangzhou. There were only a few local gentry families, and they were afraid that they would be beaten up by the censors.

Speaking of the censor, the main body of the Qingliu, it is no longer as before. The news is a tradition, and it is a weapon for the emperor to deal with ministers and ministers. Since the strange combination of the Independent Commission Against Corruption emerged, the censor no longer can impeach ministers as before. No matter who impeaches, evidence is required. Impeaching Chen Xie on the Yangzhou issue can only start with Chen’s failure in governance. You are the governor of the three provinces, and this happened when you returned to Beijing. Is this a thing that happened?

It is inevitable to rise to moral issues, but this killer weapon is not very useful to deal with Chen Xie. The moral level of this guy has no great influence in the officialdom and the gentry class. What the gentry in Jiangnan cares about is the dividends that Chen Xie brings to them. Who cares about his moral level? Compared with those scholars who are full of moral articles, Chen Xie has a better reputation in the business world.

The leader today is the owner of this house. Jin Baiwan, a large Yangzhou household. He has several large salt farms. He has been tricked by Chen Xie over the years. The salt from Shandong has easily gained a foothold in Jiangnan. The salt in Lianghuai cannot beat the other party at all. The largest and most fatty market was cut down like this. Who can bear it? Chen Xie's heart is cut into pieces. Unfortunately, these people don't have the courage, and their families have great business. It's okay to be able to succeed, but what if they fail.

There was a serene laughter in the room, and the slim maids were shuttled and served in the crowd. The form of this banquet was written by Chen Gemen, which was said to be a buffet. Other good things spread very slowly in Yangzhou, and eating, drinking and having fun were fast and fast. What kind of Persian belly dance was like that of Chen Gemen. It was also dancing like a snake in the central venue.

Jin Baiwan, who was rich, held a glass of rum that was said to be from Taisie. It tasted so ordinary, just to drink fresh. After the wealth brought by the sea was naturally not lost, the salt merchants spent some money to go to the sea to buy and sell. Although they had to pay a protection fee, the money they earned in the end was not expensive. With the benefits, the salt merchants did not remember Chen Xie's goodness, and they still hated him even deeper.

Seeing the black smoke rolling on the canal, the salt merchants were not calm. Chen Xie didn't know what tricks he was going to do. When the ship was approaching, he could see clearly and be stunned. Such a big ship, without the need for oars and sails, and without the efforts of the boatmen on both sides of the strait, he could actually walk so fast.

When the whistle sounded, these groups who were very knowledgeable in the Ming Dynasty were also very scared. They were not frightened by the whistle, but were frightened by the ship itself. Going upstream, this is so fast. Even if the boat is too big, it is easy to turn around, what if it is a small boat? How many people in Yangzhou City will lose their livelihood because of the appearance of this boat? How many owners of those boats who run the boat have passed by this boat? To the big, what about the Yangtze River? What about the sea?

"I can actually use a steam engine to drive a boat. I have heard that there are more than 10,000 exquisite craftsmen under the name of Chen Ge's army. The utensils made are as craftsmanship as magical. When I see them today, I am afraid that there will be no more days to turn over." All the smart people here were silent when they heard Jin Baiwan say this. The housekeeper quickly drove a group of dancers and maids out. The remaining group of people were all dark-faced and didn't know what to say.

These people gathered together to be a very powerful force. The original plan was to give Chen Xie a warning first, and then naturally someone came forward to see Chen Xie, give the cabinet department a step forward, and then talk about other cooperation matters. Unexpectedly, Chen Xie did not play according to common sense and appeared in a steamboat. Many of them present had fleets at home. They were supported by big bosses. Once the real signs of interest appeared, everyone had their own ideas in their hearts.

"Mr. Jin, look..." A salt merchant from Yangzhou approached Jin Baiwan and asked in a low voice, looking at the expressions of everyone. Jin Baiwan sighed. Just when he was about to speak, he saw a sudden chaos on the dock. The people, officials, and officials all fled in scattered. Jin Baiwan hurriedly held the telescope and looked over carefully. Only then did he see what was happening on the dock. It was because Chen Sihua was assassinated and was being tightly protected by the guards and retreated to the ship.

The distance was a little far away, and I couldn't see carefully enough. However, Jin Baiwan's face turned pale, his whole body was shaking, and his forehead was sweating like rain. He paused and said, "It's bad, it's bad, big things are not good. The disaster is not far away!"

What happened on the dock? Chen Xie jumped off the boat in one step and was celebrating the local officials and gentry. The crowd suddenly rushed out more than ten people, both men and women. Everyone was holding crossbows in their hands and shooting at Chen Xie. There was no joke about "So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-

The sound of crossbow arrows broke through the air. Han Shan behind Chen Xie took a step forward without hesitation and blocked the front. The crossbow arrows shot Han Shan more than ten consecutive shots. Even Chen Xie behind him could not avoid an arrow on his shoulder. The guards rushed forward one after another, regardless of whether it would hurt the people by accident. Everyone held a revolver in his hand and pulled the trigger at the assassinators. This latest equipment is only equipped with Chen Xie's guards and senior generals, so they are naturally invincible at this time.

The assassins who shot the crossbow arrows pulled out their own guys without hesitation and continued to pounce forward. All they wanted was Chen Xie's life. Unexpectedly, when the crossbow arrows could be shot, they were shot like raindrops when they rushed forward. The gunshots sounded, and the assassins fell to the ground and whined. The officials at the scene were frightened to the ground, some were running away by the entourage, and the drummers ran around like headless flies, and the people who were kneeling on the ground were all running around.

After knocking down more than ten people in a row, the remaining assassins saw that the situation was not good, and each rushed into the crowd and fled. If he missed a blow, he immediately retreated. He saw that he was a well-trained professional killer. Chen Xie didn't care about the life and death of the killer at all. Instead, he hugged Han Shan and retreated to the boat. At this time, Han Shan was hit by more than ten arrows, as if he was a hedgehog, and he was holding it in one breath, his face turned red, and blood dripped down his arms. Soon it was a small stall, which looked very scary.

"Military doctor, military doctor." Chen Xie shouted, his tone was unprecedentedly panicked. The accompanying military doctor immediately rushed off the boat. After Han Shan let out a breath of turbid air, he kept saying: "Master, the young one is fine, the young one is fine."

Chen Xie didn't talk nonsense to him and said angrily: "These more than ten arrows are pierced, why are you okay?" Han Shan quickly stood up. Chen Xie was confused because of his concern. When he saw this guy reach out to knock out the arrow that pierced his body easily, he smiled with relief. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, okay, I forgot, how could Kevra, who could not even hit the 38th meter, be injured under the crossbow arrow."

Chen Xie's guards all had a close-fitting bulletproof vest. Because there was no room for exercise for a long time, Chen Xie forgot that he had this thing. Waiting for Han Shan to clean up all the arrows, the three arrows on his arm really hurt people. Drops of blood flowed out of the wounds of his arm.

"Master, are you okay?" Hongguo rushed over and ignored Han Shan at all. Instead, he went to an arrow on Chen Xie's shoulder. Chen Xie felt a little pain. He looked down and saw that the crumbling arrow was hanging on his shoulder. Then he smiled and said, "I'm fine, thanks to Han Shan, I force me to wear this every time before I leave the door."

Chen Xie also had a bulletproof vest on his body. It was indeed a bit painful to be shot by an arrow, but it didn't penetrate the flesh, so the problem caused by the impact was not very big. However, Han Shan was still bleeding and was shot more than ten times. Although he didn't penetrate the flesh, he was hit hard by the impact force. Within twenty steps, the shooting of the crossbow was not fun. He was hit in one breath, and then he blushed.

The atmosphere in the cabin was strange. Chen Xie, who was sitting on the chair, looked like cold jade, and the veins on his hands holding the teacup were exposed. Chen Zilong, opposite, was silent. Han Shan, standing at the door of the cabin, blocking everyone from letting in. There was only a red fruit wearing a white coat serving Chen Xie. Others were naturally not trustworthy at this time.

"Water, what do you think?" Chen Xie said a sentence for a long time. Chen Zilong's face was heavy. Looking at Chen Xie whose expression was gradually soothing, he had never dared to persuade Chen Xie, who was angry before. When he met him, he calmed down. Then he spoke slowly: "Who can do such a thing without huge profits? Are salt merchants in Yangzhou City? They have more than a dozen courages, but they don't have the courage. The only possibility is that they come from the court, and they should see where the assassins come from before talking about it."

Chen Zilong did not immediately persuade him. He first analyzed it, and then changed the subject and said, "Zilong thought that the cabinet department should not use weapons in anger for this matter." Although the words were not explained clearly, Chen Xie had already heard it clearly. If it was the worst result, he could not raise troops to go north because of this. If Chen Xie was angry and raised troops, it would be the result of a broken-off, which would be of no benefit to anyone.

There was no movement on Chen Xie's gentle expression, and no one knew what he was thinking. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
