Tongzhou is about forty miles away from the capital, and at the normal speed of a carriage, it only takes about an hour and a half. Xu Jin set out to leave Beijing at around 7 a.m., and finally arrived at Tongzhou Wharf at around 9 a.m.

Tongzhou Wharf is the starting point of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. It is the east gate of the capital. It connects the north and south transportation hub. There are countless ships coming and going from north to south every day. The rice and grain transported from the Jiangnan area alone every year is as much as 6 million stones.

It is worth mentioning here that the land tax in the Ming Dynasty was divided into summer and autumn. Local summer grains were usually transferred to Beijing in August and September, while autumn grains were transferred to Beijing in February and March of the second year. It is September, which happened to be the time for summer grains to be transferred to Beijing. Therefore, the Tongzhou wharf is particularly busy at this moment, and canal ships transporting grain can be seen everywhere.

After the Jiejing grain tax is unloaded at the Tongzhou wharf, it will be temporarily stored in the warehouse in Tongzhou City, and then transported to Beijing by land into the national treasury. Therefore, at this time, the Tongzhou City was filled with grain.

Xu Jin booked a passenger ship to travel south yesterday, so when he arrived at the Tongzhou pier, the passenger ship was already waiting on the pier. The servant Xu Shou brought his luggage to the boat first, while Xu Jin stood on the pier and looked at the busy river. He couldn't help feeling sad. This trip to Jinling, I don't know when I will return to the capital again. Xin'er and his son are outside the border, how can they live now?

Xu Jin originally planned to make Xue Bingxin make meritorious contributions and then ask Emperor Jiajing to pardon her. Who knew that human calculations were not as good as God's calculations. Xue Bingxin exposed her identity before she made a contribution, which completely disrupted his plan. The worst thing is that Xin'er was actually the descendant of King Anhua. In this way, it would be difficult to get Jiajing's pardon, unless... she really made extraordinary achievements!

Thinking of this, Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly. His current situation would have to be silent for at least several years, so he should not think about making contributions. Fortunately, my brother-in-law Xie Sanqiang said that Xin'er had found a good place next to Lingshui to settle down, and had also collected thousands of Han slaves. Her strength increased dramatically, and she was enough to gain a foothold outside the border. There was no need to worry about her safety for the time being.

"Brother-in-law, it's not too late, it's time to get on the boat!" Xie Sanqiang reminded.

Xu Jin nodded and was about to board the ship when a messy footsteps came from behind him. Someone shouted: "I finally caught up there. Stop him. The surname Xu, stop me!"

Xu Jin frowned and subconsciously turned his head to look at it. He saw a group of domestic slaves holding sticks heading straight for this side with a mighty look. Many porters on the dock were brutally pushed down by them, and the order was in chaos in an instant.

Xu Jin recognized Guo Shouqian behind the slaves at a glance, and immediately realized that the other party was coming to him, so he stood still and turned around and said calmly: "Three shots, some of them have worked."

Xie Sanliang rubbed his hands together, his fists made crackling sounds, and he laughed: "It's just right, Dabao was yelling to take revenge last night!"

"Two legs!" Xu Jin said with a cold light in his eyes. He was not a kind man and a trustworthy woman. Since he came to the door, he didn't mind killing the chicken to warn the monkey, so that those people could learn that although he was losing power, they could not ride on their heads and piss.

At this time, thirty servants had rushed to the front and surrounded Xu Jin and Xie San with fierce guns. The people on the dock were so scared that they hid far away.

Guo Shougan, Xu Wenbi and Tang Xianji walked out from behind the slave proudly. The former smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this the Marquis of Jinghai?"

"The bullshit Marquis Jinghai is now just an eighth-rank official. I can kill him with just one fart!" Xu Wenbi, the grandson of Duke Dingguo, said disdainfully.

The conscience of the prince-consor Tang Xianji laughed and pointed at the old god Xu Jin and said, "The surname of Xu recognizes this young master? This young master is the son of the Marquis of Lingbi, and the prince-in-law of Princess Yongfu, Tang Xianji!"

Xu Jin frowned. Princess Yongfu looked very smart and very smart. It would be a pity to marry such a guy. It would be a waste of talent.

When Tang Xianji saw Xu Jin, he thought he was shocked by the other party. He sneered: "Your surnamed Xu, you were arrogant back then. You relied on being the governor of Zhizhe and held the power of life and death. He bullied my father in Yangzhou and occupied the Jiangnan courtesan Wang Cuiqiao. I didn't expect you to lose power one day, right? Today, the Japanese young master is going to humiliate you and give my father avenge his previous shame!"

Xu Jin sneered: "I'm afraid you're here to be embarrassed today!"

Tang Xianji was stunned for a moment, then became furious and poked and scolded: "I won't cry until I see the coffin. Go ahead and beat me to death. If something happens, the prince-consort will carry it."

Tang Xianji's ten family slaves rushed up immediately, raised their sticks and wanted to beat Xu Jin. As a result, Xie San's guns moved faster. He rushed forward and smashed the evil slave's face with a bang, even his nose collapsed. He probably broke his bones. He immediately had blood and tears, and he lost his combat power on the spot.

Bang...

Xie Sanqiu kicked up again and hit another evil slave's crotch. The evil slave flew up on the spot, then fell down like a toad, covering his lower seat with a distorted face, and his face was probably broken.

Bang bang bang...

Xie Sanqin's fists and feet were as fast as lightning, but he only breathed a few times. All the ten evil slaves fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

Guo Shougan and Xu Wenbi were shocked and subconsciously retreated. Isn’t it too fierce, right?

Tang Xianji also wanted to retreat, but Xie Sangu grabbed the collar and lifted it up like a chicken. Tang Xianji struggled while threatening, "My father is the Marquis of Lingbi, and I am the son-in-law. If you dare to hurt me, you will die. If you are tactful, you will let go of me immediately."

Xie Sanqian laughed and said, "Mr. Prince Consort, I'm so scared, so let you go!" After saying that, he pushed hard on the ground. Tang Xianji's butt fell on the ground, and his eyes turned pale in pain on the spot, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

"Everything! All!" Xu Wenbi came to his senses and shouted loudly. The remaining twenty family slaves immediately rushed over, and the sticks in their hands greeted Xie Sanliang.

Xie Sanqiang curled his lips disdainfully, and with his toes he raised a wooden stick on the ground to fight back. In just a few minutes, all twenty evil slaves were knocked down, and their heads were bleeding, which was a terrible sight.

Xie Sanlian also got hit a few times, but the boy was so sturdy that he was as if nothing had happened. He folded his hands hard, and the wooden stick as thick as a cup was immediately broken into two pieces. Then he smiled and walked towards Guo Shougan and Xu Wenbi.

Guo Shougan and Xu Wenbi were frightened and turned around and ran away. As a result, Xie Sanqiu caught up with him. He held his neck with one hand and threw it to the ground with a bang.

Guo Shougan and Xu Wenbi were almost broken by the fall. Before the former recovered, they felt a sharp pain in their legs. With a snap, their left leg was broken by Xie Sanqiu on the spot. This was not stopping. Xie Sanqiu stepped on Guo Shougan's other leg expressionlessly.

"Ah!" Guo Shougan's eyes turned dark and he fainted from pain on the spot.

Xu Wenbi and Tang Xianji were so scared that they were scattered when they were shocked by Xie Sanqi's fierceness!

Xie Sanqian looked at Xu Jin inquiringly. Seeing the latter shook his head, he then took back his foot that was stepping on Tang Xianji's left leg. The latter was so excited that a large area of ​​his crotch immediately wet, and a smell of urine dissipated.

Xie Sanqi quickly took a few steps back and cursed with a smile: "The coward, you actually peed. You are just a guy like you want to be your princess, but you are the princess of the royal family if you are insulted."

Xu Jin said calmly: "Three guns, get on the boat!" After that, he turned around and stepped on the springboard and got on the boat.

Xie Sanqiu jumped and landed lightly on the boat. The boatman was obviously worried about causing trouble, so he hurriedly took a bamboo pole and the passenger ship left the dock.

When Xu Wenbi saw Xu Jin and Xie Sanqi boarding the ship and leaving, he couldn't help but feel relieved. The dandy's problem occurred again. He jumped up and cursed sternly: "If you hurt someone, you want to escape. It's not that easy. Xu Jin, Xie Sanqi, you can't escape!"

Rumble...

At this moment, a muffled thunder sound came faintly, and even the river water near the dock was shaking slightly.

"Thunder?" People looked up at the sky at the same time, but the sky was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless.

Dangdangdang...

The rapid sound of gongs suddenly rang at the head of Tongzhou city, and the city gate began to slowly close. Those who were quick to react immediately rushed towards the city gate.

"The Tartars are here!!!" Someone shouted, and the busy dock was in full swing, and people looked around in fear.

Xu Jin stood on the bow and looked northwest, but when he saw the rolling dust rushing straight into the sky, his face changed slightly.

In less than two minutes, a horse team appeared in sight. The horse knights were all wearing leather clothes and felt hats. Their hideous faces were clearly different from those of the Han people!

"Tartars!" Xu Jin was shocked. The cavalry of the Tartars actually appeared in Tongzhou?

Xu Jin was not allowed to think too much. The vanguard of the Tartar cavalry had already reached the forefront. The busy Tongzhou wharf instantly turned into a desperate hell. The Tartars ran wildly, raised their swords and fell, and killed unarmed businessmen and dock workers like chopping melons and vegetables.

Xu Wenbi and Tang Xianji were frightened, while the servants jumped into the river like crazy, trying to swim in the water and escape from the dock.

"Hahaha, kill all these Han dogs and take the city of Tongzhou!" The Tartar general Hadan Batel laughed wildly while riding his horse. In an instant, the people on the dock were almost massacred, and the blood dyed the river water near the dock red.

Guo Shougan, who fainted on the dock, was beyond recognition by the Tartars' horse hooves and seemed to be out of control. Tang Xianji and Xu Wenbi jumped into the river and swam desperately towards the boat where Xu Jin was.

The boatman stretched out a bamboo pole to try to rescue the two of them on board, but a sharp arrow shot towards him and shot through his throat on the spot.

Xu Jin hurriedly fell on the deck, Xie Sanqiang picked up a bamboo pole and tried hard to push the boat off the shore, and narrowly escaped from the range of the Tartars' bow and arrow.
Chapter completed!
