"Which is the first in Jiangbei?" A few replies were answered, and someone exclaimed. There are Fengyang Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Huai'an Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, Anqing Prefecture, Xuzhou, Chuzhou, and Hezhou in Jiangbei, and these prefectures are often larger than those in other provinces. Although they are not as prosperous as the Jiangnan, they are also rich and wealthy families. Yangzhou's salt merchants and wealthy people are even better than the world. But on such a ground, they dare to claim to be the first, and even the gangsters in Xuzhou know that it is a powerful force.

The two knights also showed a smug look on their faces. They thought that the eyesless city gate guard in front of them would definitely dodge. They never thought that the city gate guard glanced at the side, continued to look bitter and didn't move, but just asked, "Where did you come?"

The faces of the knights in the team finally changed, and they were about to attack one by one, but then someone whispered: "Don't move around, look around."

When I looked around, I found dozens of strong young men holding spears surrounded me. The horse team had a complete advantage over the infantry, but the queue and momentum of these young men in front of the city gate were afraid to savor. In addition to these dozens of people, those gangsters and servants all had to take action. Even the dozens of guards guarding the city gate, who were dressed in rags, took out weapons.

"The Feng family in Yangzhou is here to congratulate Mr. Zhao." Seeing that the situation was wrong, a knight immediately shouted out his origin.

As soon as this sentence was said, the nervous atmosphere immediately relaxed a lot. Just now, Yi Yu, who was tense, had a smile on his face. The soldiers guarding the city gate said with a smile: "It turns out that they were congratulating Mr. Jin. The young man was offended. Please forgive me. However, the carriages and horses entering the city must be checked. I hope you can forgive me.

After saying that, the police and the gangsters stepped forward. Despite greetings, they still flipped the cart with brisk inspections.

This behavior made the more than a dozen cavalrymen in the cavalry look very good, but in such a situation, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

"It's all a gift for congratulations." The results of the inspection were quickly returned. At this time, everyone had smiles on their faces and politely let them in.

Originally, the rule of entering the city was to give some benefits to the city gate guards, but after the first time, everyone in the Feng family was in a bad mood and was too lazy to pay attention to it. They went straight into the city, leaving only the people guarding the city gate to discuss.

"I thought Master Jin's servant was amazing. Look at the Feng family who came to give gifts. Tsk, look like General Zhou Shen's personal guard, he is really elite."

"The Feng family is said to be from the people around the late emperor, and even the officers and soldiers can be transferred. What's so rare about such cavalry? When Kong Laohu was the most domineering, he did not dare to stop the caravans with the double horse flags. It's amazing."

"Even such a person, I have to congratulate our Master Jin. We are really amazing."

"What do you know about a hairy child? Salt goods need to go to Xuzhou, so why don't you say hello?"

There is a different scene on the west gate of Xuzhou. Although it is cold in late autumn, the sun is coming out and everyone feels comfortable. The people who should come to the city to congratulate have already arrived. The others are ordinary people, so there are no need to pay too much attention. Everyone is there listlessly, and there are even napping on the base of the city wall.

A gangster is an old man who follows Chen Ergou, but he has a good relationship with Liu Yong, and he has been ups and downs. He has never been implicated. He has become a small leader and lives a comfortable life. He is old and has a history. He is just casual here. I don’t know where to buy a straw mat, and it is spread on the ground, lying there, squinted his eyes and looking at the crowd coming and going, and the others are laughing and joking.

While they were leisurely, the gangster jumped up suddenly and pulled a police leader to the side. There were two teams arranged by Zhaoziying here. Several people muttered for a while, and immediately dispersed again, each conveying orders to their families.

They are busy here, and some people entering and leaving the city gate notice, some people find it strange but ignore it.

I never thought that in just a short moment, the police blocked one end of the road, the servants of Zhaoying blocked both sides of the road, and the gangsters and the city gate guards blocked the city gate, and had already blocked the place.

"You are the one with a felt hat and the four with a hat, don't move," the gangster shouted.

The people he called trembled all over. After shouting this, the gangster glanced at him and immediately shouted: "Let your people not move around, otherwise they will kill them."

This sentence was shouted, and the soldiers pulled out the knife. The servants of Zhaoying had spears flat, and the gangsters took out all the houses in their hands, and they immediately had murderous intent.

The unblocked places on the road were immediately in chaos. Passers-by first ran away and then stood to watch the fun. The people surrounded by the circle were so scared that they dared not move. The swords, guns and axes were all shining cold lights. Whenever there was something wrong, they would come over. Who dared to talk and move?

"The one with felt hats is the head, the four wearing hats are dressed as men, and there are one, two, and three behind them.

These fifteen were all from their group," the gangster said with a finger.

Speaking of this, the gangster shouted again, "I said, don't let you move around, take your hands out of your arms, otherwise you will really start killing me."

The servants of Zhaoying took a step forward with their spears, and were so scared that they cried in the circle.

"Xiao Gu, don't do it randomly, let everyone around you not do it randomly." The middle-aged man in a felt hat in front slowly turned around and said in a deep voice. Several thin young men wearing straw hats beside him were already covering their faces and crying.

The little Gu who was called by him gritted his teeth when he heard this and took out his hand that was reaching into his arms. More than a dozen people around him bowed their heads in disappointment.

"Damn it, thanks to the ropes and chains here, otherwise I wouldn't know how to do it." The police leader whispered, and all the things were taken up.

Compared to the nervousness of everyone, the gangster who found something wrong was very proud. Before anyone could ask, he said proudly: "This group of people pretended not to know each other, but they couldn't keep talking back and forth, and they were clearly in a team. They were dressed in broad daylight, pretending to be men and pretending not to know each other. This must be strange, let alone on this happy day."

"Your brother is blessed. Master Jin is generous to those who have made contributions." A gangster next to him said enviously. This man wanted to be polite and humble but did not hold back his face, and only laughed there.

There were scenes outside the city, but the city was full of joy and harmony. Many guests arrived in the city from September 30th to congratulate Zhao Jin in person and give him gifts. He said a few words of politeness to make friends. Zhao Jin came back early, and everyone lined up according to their status. On this happy day, Zhao Jin greeted everyone politely and responded with a smile.

As soon as the Feng family's gift-giving team entered the city, someone came here to report to Zhao Jin. Fortunately, it was almost dusk when they came, and Zhao Jin also had a little free time. As soon as the Feng family handed over the post, Zhao Jin invited people over.

"The young one is the manager of the Feng family's outer courtyard. I am the grandfather of my family. Congratulations to Mr. Zhao for being overjoyed." The man who came in was one of the cavalry knights. He spoke with a smile. When he congratulated, he bowed and clasped his fists. But compared to the respectful and polite guests in front of him, the manager's attitude can be said to be neither humble nor arrogant.

Several of Zhao Jin's friends frowned. A manager from the outer courtyard actually treated Zhao Jinpingli. It would be too rude to see the Feng family come to congratulate or humiliate.

After saying this, the manager stood up and smiled politely again, "Mr. Zhao, the Feng family has a lot of goods on the ground in Xuzhou. In the future, he would like to ask Mr. Zhao to make some convenience. My head and grandfather also said that if Mr. Zhao goes to Yangzhou in the future, the Feng family will definitely do the friendship of the landlord."

After congratulations, I made my own request. Everyone’s brows became deeper and deeper. I don’t know how much contempt there was hidden under the smile of the manager.

After all, it was at the wedding banquet, and the other party was hiding well. Although Zhao Jin knew in his heart that he had to be more at ease in his face, he just said calmly: "Wait until the banquet starts, let's join us together."

"Thank you for your kindness. I'm going to visit General Zhou Shen, so I won't bother you. General Zhou Shen is the junior of my head and the great master. He has written letters to greet him many times. When I come this time, I always have to go over and tell him twice." The Feng family manager said with a smile.

"Then I won't leave any guests, please give in," Zhao Jin said calmly.

The manager didn't care about Zhao Jin's attitude, so he just held his fists and bowed, then turned around and left.

"Is this here to congratulate you or to demonstrate. Do you want to use Zhou Shen to suppress us in the future?" Chen Huang said in a muffled voice, and the other partners were also angry.

The reason for coming was frivolous, but a foreign official treated Zhao Jinpingli with him. He mentioned General Zhou Shen everywhere in his words. This was not asking Zhao Jin to give him some convenience on the ground in Xuzhou. Instead, it was said that if you don’t give him some convenience, just think about General Zhou Shen, who secretly threatened him.

"Owner, I have brought the gift list, one thousand taels of silver, twenty pieces of brocade, one box of gold and silver jewelry, six sets of lacquerware boxes and cages. The Feng family's gift is just the norm, and there are two cars that have not been unloaded. I don't know who to send it to." Ruhui came over with the gift list and said. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that everyone's faces were wrong, and he stopped immediately. Before he could ask, Liu Yong said these things.

Ru Hui shook her head and said, "Watch Jiangbei, Nanzhili, as Xuzhou. The Feng family is Yunshan Temple and Kongjiazhuang. They are used to being arrogant and domineering. It is not surprising that they do this. Even the name of the first Jiangbei family has been made, so what else can I dare not."

After saying these sarcastic words, Ru Hui smiled and said, "The Feng family is said to have something to do with the people in the palace. It is like doing private salt for many years. Civil and military officials, local gentry, and even the green forests have all been divided. Many of them are actually equivalent to their servants. It is said that the prefect of Yangzhou and the garrison of Yangzhou call themselves juniors in the Feng family, and there are also relationships between the capital and Nanjing. It is no wonder that the boss is so arrogant. This is not annoying and there is no need to pay attention to it."
