Chapter 661: Got slapped in the face

Speaking of which, Yang Zhengshan had also been to Songhe Prefecture. When Tenglongwei had just started to develop maritime trade, he had been to Songhe Prefecture. At that time, he even blocked the ceremonial procession of a deputy censor.

Songhe Prefecture was still as prosperous as before, with pedestrians on the streets and customers coming and going in the shops on both sides.

If you only look at the scene in the city, it is definitely a prosperous scene.

But when Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi hired a ship to leave Songhe Prefecture, they saw another scene.

In the river, various tall or gorgeous ships were sailing like a long dragon, fully demonstrating the prosperity and wealth of Songhe Prefecture. However, in the fields on both sides of the river, there was another scene. Poor people with pale faces, thin bodies and ragged clothes were sweating in the fields.

From the white-haired old man to the seven or eight-year-old children, they all worked hard under the scorching sun.

Their skin was tanned, their faces were bloodless, and their eyes were full of sadness and hopelessness.

The prosperity of Jiangnan had nothing to do with the poor people. The prosperity was only for officials, merchants, wealthy families and martial arts forces. The ordinary people were just a group of serfs who were oppressed by others.

In Jiangnan, self-cultivating farmers were almost extinct, and ordinary farmers became tenants.

They had no land, so they could only feed themselves by renting the land from landlords, or become long-term workers and slaves of landlords and powerful people.

Jiangnan was the richest area in Dayong, but it was also the area where Dayong had the most serious land annexation.

Yang Zhengshan stood on the top of the building ship and looked at the poor people working in the fields, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

The fall of Dayong Dynasty was inevitable.

Only when a tragic and annihilating catastrophe strikes, smashing this prosperous Jiangnan to pieces and reshuffling the wealth of Jiangnan, can a new world full of vitality be created.

Given the current situation in Jiangnan, any policy and any system are futile. Only when enough people die, enough rich families die, and enough powerful people die, can this fertile land become a truly prosperous era.

Just as Yang Zhengshan was observing the situation on both sides of the strait, the captain walked onto the terrace of the ship and said humbly: "Master, Madam, there is something I need to discuss with you!"

This ship was hired by Yang Zhengshan. It costs three hundred taels of silver to send them from Songhe Prefecture to Longshu County. There are sixteen sailors, ten handymen, and four cooks on board.

"What's the matter?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

The captain of the boat apologized with a smile: "This is actually not a big deal. There is a ship from the Prince's Mansion of Xinjiang blocking the river ahead. We may need to stay for half a day before we can pass!"

Yang Zhengshan was generous in giving silver, and his demeanor was very extraordinary. The captain of the boat naturally tried his best to meet his needs.

They may not meet a big customer as generous as Yang Zhengshan in a year.

"Prince's Mansion of Xinjiang?" Yang Zhengshan looked ahead and saw that the boat in front of them was slowing down.

"Are you afraid of the Prince of Xinjiang?"

Songhe Gang, a special underworld force, is a gang formed by a group of boatmen. Although they are not strong in terms of strength, they have tens of thousands of boatmen.

Many of the boats sailing on the Song River are from the Songhe Gang.

"Master, you are joking. We are just a group of poor people in the Songhe Gang. How dare we offend the Prince's Mansion!" The captain of the boat smiled.

Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes and said, "Go ahead."

"Ah!" The captain suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"Go ahead, you damn prince, it's not worth it for me to wait for half a day!" Yang Zhengshan glanced at the captain indifferently.

The captain felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he couldn't help but shudder. Yang Zhengshan's eyes were too terrifying.

But no matter how terrifying Yang Zhengshan was, he didn't dare to ram the ship of the Xinjiang Prince's Mansion.

The Xinjiang Prince's Mansion is not something that anyone can provoke. Not to mention their Songhe Gang, even those famous Jianghu sects dare not provoke the Prince's Mansion.

There are many princes and princes in Darong, and there are a few in almost every province, but the princes and princes of Darong do not have much power in the local area. At most, they can bully the villagers.

But the Xinjiang County Prince's Mansion is different, because the Xinjiang County Prince was canonized by the Great Ancestor of Dayong, and the first generation of Xinjiang County Prince was the nephew of the Great Ancestor of Dayong.

For nearly four hundred years, the tentacles of the Xinjiang County Prince's Mansion have long been spread throughout the whole of Jiangnan.

Although on the surface it is just a county prince's mansion of the royal family of Dayong, in fact it is also a powerful force and a force in the underworld.

The Xinjiang County Prince's Mansion used to be more low-key, after all, when Emperor Chengping was in power, he severely punished the Xinjiang County Prince.

But now the Xinjiang County Prince has almost become the local emperor of Jiangnan.

Yang Zhengshan's eyes can make the captain of the ship terrified, but he can't suppress the fear of the Xinjiang County Prince's Mansion in the captain's heart.

For the captain of the ship, the Yang Zhengshan in front of him can kill him, but the county prince's mansion in the distance can destroy his entire family, and even implicate the entire Songhe Gang.

Yang Zhengshan saw the fear in his heart, and a hint of coldness rose in his deep eyes.

Of course, he was not targeting the boat captain. Boatmen like the boat captain were just a group of people trying to make a living on Song River. Yang Zhengshan would definitely not be dissatisfied with him.

He was targeting the Prince's Mansion of Xinjiang.

It was absolutely not unjust that the Darong royal family lost the country. If all the princes and princes of the royal family were dragged out and chopped off, only one of them would be unjust.

There were two before, but after Chen Zhaoxuan died, there was only one left, and that was Prince Yu Chen Wansong.

Chen Wansong lived in the Fengxian Hall in the imperial city for most of his life, so he did not harm the people, but none of his descendants were wronged.

And the Xinjiang County Prince's Mansion in front of him probably killed a thousand people from top to bottom, and none of them were wronged.

"Hang this on the flagpole, and then go over!" Yang Zhengshan took out a golden token and threw it to the captain.

The captain took the token in a hurry. There were three big characters on the front of the token, "Marquis Jing'an", and four big characters on the back of the token, "Hereditary without replacement".

This was Yang Zhengshan's previous token, but now this token has been invalidated, and the token in Yang Chengye's hand is the real one.

"This~~" The captain was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He looked at Yang Zhengshan, then at the sign in his hand, and knelt down, "I pay my respects to the Marquis!"

He had heard of the title of Marquis Jing'an.

However, he had only heard of the name of Marquis Jing'an and knew that he was in Chongshan Town. As for the rest, he knew nothing.

"Get up! Hurry up! My time is precious and I don't have time to waste here!" Yang Zhengshan said coldly.

"Yes, yes!" The captain responded while preparing to stand up, but he stopped before he completely stood up, "This, this, Marquis, it's not that I don't know what's good for me, it's really that we, the common people, can't afford to offend the Prince's Mansion!"

He looked a little funny half-squatting and half-standing, and his face was even more bitter.

Marquis, you may not be afraid of the Prince's Mansion, but I am!

Now that I have bumped into the Prince's Mansion, when you go to the place and leave, if the Prince's Mansion investigates, I can't save my life.

Yang Zhengshan didn't understand the captain's concerns, and said directly: "I am Yang Zhengshan, if they dare to investigate later, you can report my name, if they still don't let me go, I will definitely avenge you!"

After saying that, he grinned.

When he smiled, the captain was about to cry.

The captain was also a smart man, so he would not be able to understand what Yang Zhengshan meant.

Since he was helping him to avenge, he would naturally wait until he died before avenging.

"Go ahead, I really hope they can come to my house!"

Yang Zhengshan patted the captain's shoulder.

The captain was too afraid of the Prince's Mansion, so he had to force him.

He was in a bad mood today, not before, and even worse now.

He wanted to find someone to vent his anger on, and the captain was obviously not suitable to be his target, but the Xinjiang Prince's Mansion was the right one.

"Yes, I'll go right away!" The captain didn't understand that he would either die in the future or die now.

If he chose to face the Prince's Mansion in the future, he might still have a chance to survive, but if he chose to go against Yang Zhengshan's wishes now, he might be thrown into the river to feed the fish now.

In fact, he still misunderstood Yang Zhengshan. Even if he rejected Yang Zhengshan, Yang Zhengshan would not really do anything to him.

No matter what, Yang Zhengshan is also a congenital warrior, he would not attack an ordinary ship captain.

Yang Zhengshan just forced him, and would not really do anything to him.

The captain got off the cabin, and the ship began to slowly sail towards the center of the river, passing the stopped cargo ships or passenger ships, and sailed towards the ship of the Prince's Mansion that was blocking the river.

The captain took down the flag of their Songhe Gang and hung Yang Zhengshan's token.

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, take a look!

The golden token hung on the flagpole, shining in the sunlight.

As long as you are not blind, you can see the token.

"Stop, stop, if you dare to come forward again, you will be killed on the spot!"

On the river, the ship of the Prince's Mansion was a warship, two feet high, with a crossbow on the deck, and the size was similar to the medium-sized Haicang ship of the Shenmu Navy, but this was an inland warship, a flat-bottomed sand ship.

As soon as the ship Yang Zhengshan was on approached, someone on the ship shouted loudly, and at the same time, the six crossbows on the deck pointed at the ship.

Yang Zhengshan, who was standing on the terrace of the ship, saw this scene and his face darkened.

The crossbow was strung, and he was really going to take action!

Damn, his token had no effect at all!

He was slapped in the face!

On the deck, the captain looked like he was about to cry. He turned his head and looked at Yang Zhengshan, as if saying; Lord, your token is useless, and people don’t give you face.

Yang Zhengshan felt a little embarrassed, and the key was that Yu Qingyi was still giggling, as if she was mocking him.

"Husband, do you want me to dismantle this ship!" Yu Qingyi laughed.

She just thought that her husband was very funny now, with a dark face, blowing his beard and glaring, which was very interesting.

"No, I can dismantle it myself!"

As he said that, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped it in front of him like hitting a mosquito.

Crack!

Thunder exploded.

Then came a loud bang, and the warship in front of it shook violently and sank three feet. The masts and sails on the ship all exploded instantly.

As for the sailors and soldiers on the ship, they were blown away by a hurricane and fell into the river in the blink of an eye.

"Go!"

Yang Zhengshan said loudly.

The captain of the ship was stunned, and only after his reminder did he come to his senses, and hurriedly commanded the sailors to operate the sails or paddle forward.

The people on the boats that stopped behind almost popped their eyes out.

They were shocked by Yang Zhengshan's methods and shocked that someone dared to attack the ship of the Prince's Mansion.

For a moment, they fell into a stagnation, their heads seemed to have turned into paste, and they couldn't figure it out.

Who dared to attack the warships of the Prince's Mansion?

Who was it, and what was the method? A congenital warrior?

In fact, the latter question is the answer to the former. It should not be an answer that goes against common sense that a congenital warrior dared to attack the warships of the Prince's Mansion.

Unfortunately, most people are in a state of confusion and have not thought of this yet.

The building ship moved forward slowly. Yang Zhengshan was on the building ship, looking at the soldiers swimming in the river with a blank expression.

He did not kill anyone, but just destroyed the ship.

After the ship traveled three hundred feet, Yang Zhengshan saw a pier. There was a large ship with very gorgeous decorations docked on the pier. The ship tower was three stories high, one story higher than the building ship Yang Zhengshan was riding.

There were many soldiers on the pier. They were on guard, probably because the ship in front was destroyed.

And behind the soldiers was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes. I think this is someone from the Xinjiang Prince's Mansion, but I don't know who he is.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know much about the Prince of Xinjiang's Mansion, nor did he know who the Prince of Xinjiang was now.

But the one in front of him was definitely not the Prince of Xinjiang, because the Prince of Xinjiang could not leave the royal city without an imperial edict.

"Who is coming? How dare you bump into the Prince of Xinjiang's Mansion's ceremonial procession!"

Someone suddenly shouted loudly.

I don't know what these people are thinking. They knew how the boats in front were destroyed, but they dared to shout.

Do they really think that the reputation of the Prince of Xinjiang's Mansion can intimidate the innate warriors?

Perhaps it was because the Prince of Xinjiang's Mansion was used to being arrogant in Jiangnan, or perhaps they didn't expect that the one who made the move was a congenital warrior. Anyway, they shouted and vaguely made a move to intercept the boat.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the middle-aged man, his mouth slightly curled up, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the token hanging on the flagpole flew into his hand.

The next moment, he swung his white hand, and the golden token shot towards the middle-aged man like a sharp arrow.

The middle-aged man was also staring at him. Seeing his tricks, his face suddenly changed and he turned around to avoid it.

At the same time, the four warriors dressed in green clothes beside the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and drew their swords to block the flying token.

The smile on Yang Zhengshan's mouth became colder and colder.

The cultivation of those warriors was not low. One was half-step innate, one was the ninth level of acquired, and the remaining two were the eighth level of acquired.

With the foundation of the Xinjiang County Prince's Mansion, it was not easy to recruit so many masters.

Jiangnan martial arts flourished, and there were many masters, but the ninth level of acquired and half-step innate warriors were not cabbages, and almost every one of them was a well-known figure.

But they obviously underestimated Yang Zhengshan.
