In short, it is similar to a ban.

The Shipping Trade Guild, under the pretext of protecting the interests of the majority of shipowners, opposes the "hegemony" of the Jingguo Palace.

Some boatmen who didn't take it seriously.

They were all harassed and interrogated by clerks and runners.

The kid is tough.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to fight against these people.

They have a hundred ways to deal with you.

This made all the boatmen feel something unusual.

I felt uneasy.

I want to get some more in-depth information.

back yard.

The Chinese New Year is tomorrow. For people like them, who have been busy all year long, it is natural for them to have some fun and relax.

Plus recent events.

Wu Tian simply invited a troupe of actors to perform in Meiyuan, so that they could have fun and get rid of the bad luck.

Under the blooming plum tree.

Wu Tian listened to the opera while holding a snuff bottle.

Representatives from various shipping guilds sat together, chatting and listening to music.

"Is there any big movement in the Jingguo Mansion?"

"No, but due to lack of materials, all projects in the Jingguo Mansion have been temporarily suspended!"

"Well, you deserve it!"

"Without materials, the work will definitely stop!"

"Any news from overseas?"

"Then do you still need to ask?"

"The Duke of Jingguo's Mansion only sent out three ships, and we have thirty or forty. He used his head to attack? It must have been sunk!"

"I'm afraid it's a dead body. The fish ate it all!"

"That's right, this young man is too impetuous. If he doesn't suffer a little, he won't know that the older you are, the wiser you will be!"

"This time, we have not only suppressed the momentum of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion, but also deterred the scoundrels. We have killed two birds with one stone!"

"Yes, yes, yes, President Wu's move is truly amazing."

Everyone was proud and smiling.

Having successfully taken control of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion this time, he felt proud and at the same time, he became a little bolder.

"Without our shipping trade guild, the grain transport in Jiangnan would be paralyzed. Not to mention Gusu, even Bianliang would be short of rice!"

"that is!"

"From now on in Jiangnan, I don't think anyone will dare to disobey our Shipping Trade Guild!"

"However, this [Yubing Shao] liquor made by the Jingguo Mansion is really good and strong. It is really a profitable business!"

"Hey, in my opinion, if the Jingguo Mansion wants to negotiate peace, they have to give us the recipe for making this wine!"

"Yes, we have to ask for some compensation after all the trouble we have gone through to play with him. The business of Treasure Pavilion is also very profitable!"

"In my opinion, the construction projects that the Jingguo Mansion is doing are also good. We should be the ones to do them in the future!"

Of course, people will brag as much as they can at the dinner table, but it also reveals the greed of these people.

They are out of touch with the news. Haven't they heard of Zhao Wuxian's battle achievements?

Obviously not.

Then why, dare you be so bold?

Benefit!

Everything in the world is for profit!

The business of the Duke Jingguo’s Mansion is so profitable!

Who wouldn’t want a piece of the pie?

The reason they are willing to get involved in this kind of thing is not because they want to get a piece of the pie from the Jingguo Mansion?

There is another reason.

Ignorance is useless.

They are not orthodox gangsters, but somewhere in between businessmen and gangsters, and their knowledge of masters is limited.

After some joking, someone suddenly asked, "President Wu, what do you think?"

"Ok?"

"If you want to talk about it, what compensation do you want?"

Wu Tian smiled and said, "If everyone has their own interests, I will reluctantly take a few shares of Zui Ren Ju and Yue Lai Inn. Is that not too much?"

"Hey, President Wu is indeed very experienced. The inn and restaurant are the ones that can generate a steady stream of business!"

"Yes, yes, let's toast to President Wu!"

"Under the leadership of President Wu, our Shipping Trade Guild can grow bigger and stronger and create greater glory!"

"Yes Yes!"

Wu Tian listened to everyone's flattery, smiled, waved his hands modestly, and said: "Hey, I am so worthy of your support. I would like to thank you all for your support. Next year, our Ship Trade Guild will reach a higher level!"

"` ~Fuck!"

Everyone laughed and drank a glass of wine.

Wu Tian put down his wine glass and was about to say a few auspicious words.

boom!

Suddenly.

A deafening sound was heard, shaking the tabletop, and the singing and dancing on the stage came to an abrupt stop.

"what sound?"

"what happened?"

"It's thundering?"

Everyone was confused and looked at each other.

Wu Tian's frown relaxed and he said with a smile, "It's okay, maybe they are playing with fireworks outside!"

"Fireworks!"

"That noise was really loud. I thought it was a cannon!"

"You scared me!"

There were already many types of fireworks in the Song Dynasty. Don't be surprised if you see firecrackers while walking on the street.

Wu Tian waved his hand and said, "Chen Biao, go and have a look! Let's not spoil the fun, let's continue playing the music and dancing!"

Hardly had he finished speaking, Chen Biao had taken two steps, and everyone was about to sit down when the pianist on the stage plucked the strings and a flurry of sound was heard.

"Oh no, sir, sir, oh no!"

An old servant hurriedly crossed the moon gate.

He tripped and fell, landing on his face with a bloody head.

But he still rolled and crawled to Wu Tian, ​​pulled his trouser legs, and said, "Master, something terrible has happened!"

Wu Tian's face turned dark blue, he kicked him and said, "What's wrong?"

The old servant sat on the ground, took a breath, and said hurriedly: "A group of soldiers came outside, blasted the door open with a cannon, and broke in. The eldest master is entangled with them with his servants and guards. Let the master leave quickly!"

"what?"

"Officers and soldiers?!"

Wu Tian and the representatives of each company all exclaimed in surprise, revealing a look of shock.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought against officials, let alone against soldiers.

The words "officers and soldiers" sound abrupt and intimidating.

Of course, what really panicked them was the arrival of the officers and soldiers. Why didn’t they get any news or information at all?

Who would come to catch them at this time?

Wu Tian looked towards the gate with gloomy eyes. When he listened carefully, he could already hear the sounds of shouting and fighting.

He gritted his teeth and uttered four words: "Jingguogong Mansion!"

"what?"

As soon as these four words came out.

Those who were excited just now and threatened to make the Jingguo Mansion pay the price were all shivering and felt a chill down their spines.

"how come?"

"How dare he, a mere duke, actually send troops into the city? Is he planning a rebellion? Does he want to die?"

"Why didn't the government officials tell us when he mobilized troops? We spend so much money every year on it, is it wasted?"

In an instant, they lost their composure and started cursing.

Wu Tian's head was also buzzing. He had planned everything, but he had never expected that the Jingguo Mansion would directly dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion.

This is not a martial ethics!

"Why are you still scolding me? Run away first!"
