Chapter 15 Getting into trouble

After saying goodbye to Liu Kongzhao, Ma Mingfeng's fleet continued to move forward. However, after more than ten days of walking, the ship was almost exhausted, so naturally he had to go ashore to collect supplies. They happened to come to Anqing Mansion, so the fleet leaned northward and arrived at Anqing Port. Ma Mingfeng chose some honest and honest friends and asked them to stay on the boat, but he got off the boat with Wu Jing and went to the market to buy food and fresh water and other supplies.

Originally, Ma Mingfeng wanted to invite Yang Wencong to go with him, but Yang Wencong didn't want to go. Ma Mingfeng could only follow him. At the same time, he thought that it would be a good thing for Yang Wencong to stay, so that he would not have to worry about the cargo on the ship.

Anqing Prefecture was a very important port along the Yangtze River at that time, and it was an important channel connecting the north and south of the Yangtze River. There were as many cargoes as cows distributed here every day. These cargoes were transported to Wuchang, Nanjing, Jingkou and other places near them, and the farther ones arrived at Chongqing Prefecture, Guangzhou and other places. The ports were busy every day, starting from before dawn, and ships were docked in the middle of the night.

It is precisely because of this that Anqing Prefecture has concentrated many business travelers from south to north. It is densely populated and has developed trade. Although it is not as good as Nanjing, it is also a rare and prosperous city.

After getting ashore, the first thing Ma Mingfeng did was to visit Anqing commander Xu Liangxian. Unfortunately, Xu Liangxian was not at the mansion, so Ma Mingfeng had to leave the greetings and gifts, and then left the Xu mansion.

After leaving Xu Mansion, Ma Mingfeng took his group to the market to purchase supplies, but not long after he left, he saw a circle of people gathered together to watch something, and he also applauded from time to time.

Ma Mingfeng liked to join in the fun and hurriedly squeezed in to see what happened.

I saw a strong man holding a spear in his hand, dancing so hard that the spear was more than one meter long and the thickness of a duck egg. Ordinary people probably needed two hands to grasp it. However, the strong man easily picked it up with just one hand, and it was effortless to dance. I saw the spear flying up and down, sometimes like a strange python turning over, sometimes like a spiritual snake coming out of the hole, sometimes like a golden rooster nodding, cold light dripping, and a solemn and murderous aura, which was amazing.

The man played gunshots all the way, stood with a gun, not blushing, and was not angry. He clasped his fists at the onlookers and said, "Young and young men, the villain's surname is Yu, Gan Gouyu, named Zhenghu, a person from Xuanfu, because he was destroyed by the Qing army and was left here, and he had no money on his body. Fortunately, the villain also knows some martial arts. Today he will give it to you and win you a smile. If you recognize that the villain just practiced well just now and did not have any dirty eyes, please give some rewards, no matter how much it is, it is enough for us father and daughter to make a meal. You old and young men will definitely get good results tomorrow, and will be promoted and wealthy in the future, and you will be blessed with endless blessings."

Yu Zhenghu just saw everyone applauding, thinking that he should be able to get a lot of rewards this time, but he didn't expect that none of the people around him would give them money, and they all dispersed in just a few minutes.

"Why, why is this happening? Yu Zhenghu's face was disappointed and said with a wry smile: "I thought I could get some money by selling arts to solve the problem of eating, but today I didn't make a single child and spent some effort in vain. Alas, this Anqing Mansion looks so prosperous, but I don't expect that the people around me are so stingy."

Yu Zhenghu shook his head, packed up his things and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, he could only hear a voice: "You have good martial arts, but it's a pity that these people don't know the goods, but don't worry about real gold. With your martial arts, you won't be afraid of not finding a place to use it in the future. You can think that the fifty taels of silver is a matter of your wish, so please don't dislike it."

Yu Zhenghu hurriedly looked at the sound, but saw a young man standing in front of him with a smile on his face, holding an inch of silver in his hand, which was fifty taels of snowflake official silver.

"This, this young master? I'm so much money, and the villain deserves it." Although Yu Zhenghu's eyes were hot and his heart was hot, he knew that it was rewarded by the other party, and he didn't steal or rob him. Even if he wanted it, it was not against his conscience. However, he saw that the other party was just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, and was afraid that the other party would be impulsive, so he rewarded the silver to him. If he regretted it in the future, wouldn't he be beaten or scolded by his father?

On the other hand, Yu Zhenghu didn't think his martial arts could be worthy of the other party's reward, let alone fifty taels of silver, even one taels of 2 taels, it was already a large reward, because one taels of 2 taels were enough for him to eat a month without worrying about it.

But unexpectedly, the young man said, "There is nothing to be ashamed. At first glance, one can see that one is a person with ambition and ambition. Now it is just a temporary disaster, but so what? When Jiang Taigong was fishing in the stream, Han Xin was still lying on the crotch of a man, Xue Rengui struggled to guard the Han Kiln back then, and finally became a god general? The God of Destiny will not favor a person forever, nor will he abandon any ambition, let alone helping others in trouble. Why should we do it? "

When Yu Zhenghu heard this, he was immediately excited and bowed to Ma Mingfeng and said, "I don't know the name of the young master Gao. If the surname Yu is successful in the future, he will definitely repay the young master's kindness."

"I'm a man named Ma, with his name Luan and his courtesy name Mingfeng. He is a man from Guiyang Prefecture, Guizhou. This time he wants to return to his hometown. Because he needs it so much, he stopped the boat and wanted to go to the market to purchase it. He happened to meet his best. This is also the fate between us. We don't have to worry about the kindness and other things."

After Ma Mingfeng finished speaking, he stuffed the silver into Yu Zhenghu's hand.

However, at this moment, someone behind him said, "This young master is so generous. Brother, I am penniless now. Why don't you give me a few thousand taels of silver? I will also be grateful for your great kindness."

Ma Mingfeng looked in the sound and saw a stingy boy standing there, looking at him with a sneer on his face. There were more than ten teenagers standing behind him. These teenagers held sticks, one by one, like a fierce and evil spirit, and looked not good.

"Who is the one?" Ma Mingfeng could hear the ridicule in the other party's words, but he did not refute it. After all, the strong dragon does not defeat the local snake, and the other party has many people. It seems that they are also local people, so there is no need to cause trouble.

The pockmarked face sneered, "Come on, I'm also named Ma, and my name is Saichao, which means that I beat Ma Chao. My father is Ma Wenlong, the prefect of Anqing. I said, brother, this is my territory. This guy is here without my permission. He is still thinking about getting a reward? Everyone knows the rules, but you don't take me Ma Saicha seriously and want to give him a reward. You are slapping me in the face. The world is so big and the face is the greatest. You refute my face. How do you think this matter will end?"
