Chapter 221 Unconvinced

Although I was tense and someone was shot, I didn’t fight after all, and I didn’t think I had a complete breakup. My family owed Qi One-eyed favor, and Qi One-eyed mentioned the arresting room and the garrison. These were the friendship between elders and face was always given.

Zhao Jin pondered there for a while and asked, "Boe Qi, who is this Qi Erkui?"

"A cousin, Erkui, is a bastard, but he still knows how to take care of his family. He usually remembers to give me some bags of salt to support the family. I was staying in the yard just now, and I didn't know what happened outside. I hurried out when I heard this..." Qi Duyan continued to explain.

If Zhao Jin pointed out this relationship, he would not be able to do anything. On that day, Zhao Zhentang dared to let him hide from Qi Duyan. It seems that the relationship between them is already close enough. Since Qi Erkui has a relative of Qi Bo, it is really difficult to kill.

Zhao Jin turned to look at Chen Huang. Chen Han had already lifted the mask on his helmet and said with a smile: "It's just a little nest owner. What's the point of life or death? Since I have a relationship with you, I'll just let it go."

Chen Huang is usually taciturn, but he can point the key points when he speaks. Today, he leads a large group of troops to question the crime. There must be no result, otherwise everyone will be relieved. The meaning of Chen Huang's words is to support Zhao Jin's decision.

"He has to pay 40% of his net profit every month, so that all the people who came out just now will lose their family and let Qi Erkui come over and kowtow," Zhao Jin made the arrangement.

It is 10% more than when I first came, and kowtowing to the face is even more like killing the mighty. However, Qi single-eyed nodded repeatedly, bowed to thank him and said, "I will tell Erkui that this is the grace of the young master, and he will not be ungrateful."

He paid more money and had no face, but compared to killing his head and killing Qijia Village with blood, this is indeed a grace. Qi One-eyed, thanked him and hurried back to the village.

Zhao Jin turned his head and smiled and said to Dong Bingfeng: "Bingfeng, go around the village and have another round. There must be someone who is smart and wants to run. Whoever wants to run will cum through his leg."

Dong Bingfeng agreed and rode his horse away again. Not long after, he could hear screams from afar.

Zhao Jin and his team didn't wait outside the village for too long, and saw the salt dealers who had been aggressive before walking out dejectedly. Of course, they were all empty-handed. This time, Qi Erkui was not surrounded by the front, but walked in the crowd with his head down.

Seeing them coming out, the spears of the servants were laid flat one after another. Looking at the cold light flashing on the tip of the spear, everyone cursed in their hearts, saying that they were just too careless and actually had a match with such a team. They really thought they had lived a long life.

Both sides were always separated by a distance. After those people stopped, only Qi Erkui continued to move forward. Qi Erkui's face was flushed. He was also the number one figure on the ground in Xuzhou, but today he was forced to such a state. It was really shameful. Qi Erkui also understood very well. After knocking on this head, his face was gone.

Qi Erkui subconsciously looked back at the crowd. He thought he would see contempt and ridicule, but he didn't expect that the salt dealers behind him were full of sympathy and understanding.

Everyone really didn't think how humiliated Qi Erkui was. Look at the opposite side, the people in their hands were not talking about the spears, but the armor was tight, and only their eyes were exposed. Look at the two riding horses and archery, one arrow was accurate. Think about the incredible rumors about Zhao Jin. What's the embarrassment of kowtowing and surrendering to such people, which is natural.

"Master Jin, I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Please forgive me." Qi Erkui said something to surrender first, then knelt down in public, touched his head and kowtowed.

Within five steps, he looked at Zhao Jin at close range. He only felt that the other party's eyes could penetrate him, and there was a kind of intimidating pressure. Qi Erkui controlled his private salt and was also considered a person who had seen the world. He had felt similar pressure before, and that was only the evil gods and evil stars who could kill without blinking.

Feeling this, thinking about it, Qi Erkui immediately understood that although the news of Zhao Jin's bloody battle of killing was mysterious, it was probably true. After understanding this, he was willing to kneel down and kowtow.

"I'm here to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. You are lucky and you usually know how to be filial to Qi Bo. Otherwise, it would be hard for others to say that you will definitely be slaughtering your whole family today." Zhao Jin said, he did not show any mercy because the other party gave in.

At this time, Qi Erkui did not feel angry at all, but was just panic and felt a little lucky. Thanks to his usual cousin, Qi One-eyed, it was okay.

"Don't owe the regular rules you should pay every month. I don't want to come again. If you have any uneasy troubles here, come to me." Zhao Jin said again. This time he left the city, he also determined his own sphere of influence. If he took the rights, he would also bear the obligation.

Qi Erkui, who was kneeling on the ground, agreed in panic. After standing up, he didn't say anything, but Zhao Jin said, "All people who come to Qijia Village today are not allowed to leave. I will live here tonight, and set off together tomorrow morning and leave together."

It's of course nothing to do if you stay for one night. Qi Erkui quickly bowed and said, "Since Master Jin is glorious, let me make arrangements and treat Master Jin well."

"You go and prepare first. When the village meets, Qi Erkui, let your people guard all parts of the village and not leave anyone out." Zhao Jin gave a few simple instructions, and Qi Erkui nodded in panic and agreed. It was not his turn to say what he said.

The other salt dealers had nothing to say. Others spared their lives. What was the point of leaving for one night? They scattered back to the village.

As soon as the people on Qi Erkui dispersed, Zhao Jin's friends immediately looked over. For them, Xuzhou City was the safest place. It was possible to go out of the city, but the risk of living outside the city was too great.

"We know a lot about our departure from the city. If we leave this Qijia Village, we will get the news from the ferry gate. The couple might have run away, stay for one night, rest on the spot, and set off tomorrow." Zhao Jin explained.

Everyone nodded, and Zhao Jin added: "It will be better to train such a team sooner or later, and it is not good to keep it in the city."

Stay there and stay. Everyone quickly chose a place in the village, and Qi Erkui came forward to negotiate and freed up several relatively neat houses. Zhao Jin heard from his second uncle Zhao Zhenxing that military accommodation should be in his own barracks and not stay in the homes, otherwise it would be very troublesome if there were any sudden situations, but it would not be so comprehensive now.

Although it has already shocked Qi Erkui, it is still necessary to be careful. Zhao Jin arranged for the servants to take turns to be on duty, and they were not at ease. They also scheduled shifts and took turns to stay at night.

In addition, Dong Bingfeng also rode back to the city to report safety, which was also a precaution. Even if something happened, the people in the city knew to go there to find it.

All the defenses should be done, but the atmosphere in Qijia Village was not that tense. Although they had a tense confrontation, the two sides did not fight. The three unlucky people who were shot were not seriously injured. They would not be disabled even if they drew the arrow. They did not turn against each other completely, and did not cause serious injuries and lives. Then there was still room for friendship. Seeing Zhao Jin's strength and such a behavior, from Qi Erkui to the private salt dealers below, they all wanted to curry favor with each other.

The most important thing about trafficking in silt salt is to make things convenient everywhere. If you offend a great man like Zhao Jin, it will be difficult to move forward. But if you can protect someone like Zhao Jin, it will be smooth everywhere.

Qi Erkui killed a pig and two sheep, cleared his house, and then started a grand ceremony. Fortunately, it was the first month of the year, and each company had a lot of inventory, so it could make a sumptuous banquet.

When Dong Bingfeng came back from the city, it was already dark, and the aroma of roasted lamb stewed meat began to spread in Qijia Village. In the afternoon, he had to say that he would wash away blood. In the evening, he would have a festive atmosphere.

It was completely dark, and Qi Erkui lit torches in his yard and lit a bonfire in the middle of the yard. A special person added firewood. Because the flames were baked, even if the yard was open, everyone didn't feel it was too cold.

Zhao Jin's friends, Qi Erkui and the top figures among the private salt dealers, had to invite Qi Duoyan to the table, and the banquet started lively. Qi Erkui not only wanted to please Zhao Jin, but also thanked the salt dealers for helping him. The top figures could go to the table, and ordinary young and strong people could drink broth and enough grain pancakes. The whole village was very happy.

"Mr. Jin, the young man is ignorant of Mount Tai today. He is often offended by silly. The young man is ahead of three bowls, which is considered apology." After taking the table, Qi Erkui drank three bowls in a row.

Although the wine bowl is not big, there is one or two wine in this bowl, and it is a famous wine in Hanjing. This means that Qi Erkui has a rich family background and is not bad at all. He can actually drink such a tight and good wine. However, after three bowls of such strong wine, Qi Erkui couldn't help it. His face turned red and sat down. Zhao Jin picked up the wine bowl and sucked it and said that he certainly had the right not to drink it.

After the beginning of these three bowls, the atmosphere became much more casual. Qi Erkui and Yiyu took turns to toasting, which is also the rule in the world. One is to express respect and the other is to bring the relationship closer.

No matter how many people come to pay tribute, Zhao Jin and his friends just touched their lips, that is, Chen Huang, who has the best alcohol content, took a sip, but Qi Erkui and the others wanted to drink in the glass. There was no way, as the rules at the banquet were like this.

Not long after, Zhao Jin and the others remained awake. Qi Erkui was a little drunk, so he was not as careful as he started.
