Fu Bao naturally didn't know that his sneaking away had caused a lot of trouble for his father.
Far away from her parents, she is letting herself go.
Because they set off from the county seat late and the carriage didn't move very fast on the road, the group could only stop at a post station along the way.
But this break caused a problem.
When Shen Wansheng built the horse-drawn carriage transportation system connecting Xiangyi Prefecture, he really offended many people. After all, this thing represents a steady flow of income, which is more cost-effective than most transactions in the world.
When Shen Wansheng was in charge of Xiangyi Mansion, he suppressed all unconvinced aristocratic families. Even if these people have any dissatisfaction, they can only hold it in.
But now that Shen Wansheng has been taken away, it is 90% impossible for him to come back to Xiangyi Mansion.
As for the new magistrate of Xiangyi Prefecture, no matter who he is, these aristocratic clans are sure to win him over or exclude him.
Under such circumstances, they would definitely not wait for the arrival of the new prefect before starting to divide the interests, but would strike first.
Fengqiao Station is located in the center of the official road connecting Linyao, Xiangyi Fucheng and Anshun County. Ninety-nine percent of the carriages traveling between Fucheng and Anshun County will rest here.
Because of this, what was originally a simple inn has now developed into a small town.
There are really many inns and restaurants.
Of course, those who can carry out construction in this deserted station are people with backgrounds, power and money.
As the scale of Fengqiao Station increased day by day, in order to ensure the safety of Fengqiao Station, those who built shops here worked together to build an earth wall that was almost ten feet high, and even hired guards to guard the place.
This was done spontaneously.
But now, because Shen Wansheng, the prefect who makes decisions for the people, has been taken away pending investigation, the situation in Fengqiao Station has taken a turn for the worse a few days ago.
Anyone who wants to enter Fengqiao Station, that is, enter Fengqiao Station behind the earth wall, must pay 20% of the profit of the goods brought as protection fee. If you are a traveler, you need to pay a personal safety fee of one tael per person.
To put it bluntly, this Fengqiao Station has become a profit-making tool for some people.
Facing the vicious Maple Bridge Guards, how dare ordinary people say no
As for taking a detour
That's really asking for death!
Before Fubao and his party arrived at Fengqiao Station, Xu Laosan was still telling Fubao about the situation of Fengqiao Station with great interest. He went to Fucheng several times to rush for the exam, and he stopped at Fengqiao Station on the way to talk to the people at the station. Very familiar.
Then, when the carriage arrived at Fengqiao Station, Xu Laosan was slapped in the face.
"Five taels of silver, hurry up!"
When the wolf-like guards of Fengqiao Station stopped the carriage and asked Xu Laosan to pay the money aggressively, Xu Laosan was confused.
The driver of the carriage remained silent the whole time, without saying a word.
Although these so-called guards of Maple Bridge Station who collect protection fees are greedy, they also know that fishing in the marsh is wrong. Therefore, the targets of their collection of protection fees have never included these rickshaw drivers. Even occasionally, they would give some benefits to the drivers.
After all, without the hard work of these coachmen, how could they easily earn money here
As a human being, you must know how to be grateful.
"Who are you?"
"Who gave you the right to collect money here?"
Xu Laosan jumped down from the carriage, raised his hand and choked the person closest to him.
It is true that Xu Laosan is a scumbag in the old Xu family, but he can easily deal with these people who are worse than scumbags.
"you wanna die!"
When the leader of the guards at Fengqiao Station saw his man being choked by Xu Laosan, he immediately roared, then pulled out the knife in his hand and struck at Xu Laosan.
As for the men caught by Xu Laosan, this man seemed not to have seen them.
And as this man moved the knife, a group of people under him each showed their murderous weapons, including knives and sticks, and some held up bows and arrows. There were more than a dozen people. This action was really menacing.
Facing the knife that struck him, Xu Laosan didn't even think about it and directly pulled the person whose neck was stuck by him.
Then, the knife fell and blood spattered.
The leader of the Fengqiao Station guard didn't know whether it was too late to stop, or he had a grudge against the person caught by Xu Laosan. This knife struck down hard, and under the huge force, Xu Laosan almost The child was knocked down.
"Third brother, take the gun!"
In the carriage, Fubao quickly threw out the two spears of his third brother.
When Xu Laosan saw that the hostage in his hand had been fatally stabbed, he knew that this matter could not be resolved.
The moment he took the two spears thrown by Fu Bao, Xu Laosan even thought of his elder brother. It was obvious that his eldest brother had taken this path before them. Could it be that these bastards were bullying the weak and afraid of the strong
I have to say that Xu Laosan really wronged the guards at Fengqiao Station.
Why is the leader of the guard so angry
In the final analysis, the root cause lies with Boss Xu.
Because they suffered a big loss at the hands of Boss Xu before, which is why Xu Laosan broke out here, and everyone on the other side showed their weapons, even using bows and arrows.
As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes!
This group of guards at Fengqiao Station were fully prepared because they suffered defeat at the hands of Boss Xu.
"kill!"
Even though Xu Laosan is a scholar at heart, as the son of the Xu family, Mr. Xu has always taught them that if they don't take action, they should not show any mercy.
Because every time you act softly, you step half into the door of hell.
This is what Mr. Xu concluded with his own life.
When he and Mrs. Xu fled, he had softened his heart. But that time he was soft-hearted, leaving a scar over a foot long on his body. If he hadn't been strong enough, he might have died.
This is a bloody lesson!
Therefore, when Mr. Xu taught his three sons, he repeatedly emphasized that either they should not make enemies, or if they took action after making enemies, it would have to be a thunderous strike.
Xu Laosan took the gun, used the stick in his left hand, grabbed it with his right hand, and beat him repeatedly. Before the leader of the guards called on his men to beat him, he had already shot through the opponent's throat.
After experiencing the bloody scenes of the Huangfengkou Battle, this small scene can be said to be calm to Xu Laosan.
As for Fubao, he had killed three assassins sent by Jie Yun Dao, so he was considered an experienced person. So facing this slightly bloody scene, I can bear it.
On the contrary, at the beginning of spring and the beginning of summer, they vomited one after another.
As for Cai's mother, she was obviously not an ordinary person, and her performance at this moment made Fubao confirm the identity of the other master. (End of chapter)
