Tiger Roars in China

When the morning light spreads from the lake, the sun will slowly rise from the lakeside.

Yuyingzi's shed boat hoisted the sails, stepped on the water wheel, rode the wind and waves, and headed towards Yuncheng along the waterway.

Yuncheng is the largest city around Guishan Lake and is also a transportation hub connecting Zhongzhou, Longmen, Shengzhou and Youzhou.

Yuncheng is backed by Guishan Lake and faces Huyue River. It has a dense water network and developed transportation.

This was once a very prosperous city in Zhongzhou.

Later, because of the war between Zhongzhou and Shengzhou, and the rise of Longmen.

The Yuncheng area has become a no-man's land.

Nan Yun, a local tyrant who once studied martial arts in the Sword Sect, took advantage of his family's influence and his status as a great swordsman to seize Yuncheng and became the local tyrant of the area, known as the Southern Tyrant.

The fish tyrant Li Wancai relied on the power of Nan Batian to run rampant in Guishan Lake, bullying fishermen, robbing men and women, and making huge money for Nan Batian.

As the base camp of the Southern Tyrant, Yuncheng was well managed and prosperous, in no way inferior to other big cities in Zhongzhou.

The fish market in Yuncheng, in particular, was the largest fish market in the area, radiating to more than a dozen cities in the surrounding area, bringing huge profits to Nan Batian.

In order to attract merchants from surrounding cities to do business in the fish market, Nan Batian formulated strict rules for Yuncheng and set up a fish market patrol team.

Once anyone is found violating the rules of Yuncheng, they will be immediately expelled from the city.

In serious cases, the offenders will be executed on the spot.

Anyway, as long as the fish market is doing well, Nan Batian can make a fortune, so why should he resort to plunder and ruin his own reputation?

The fish market is not located in the city, but on the dock in the east of the city.

The fish market covers a large area, with the Huyue River Wharf to the north and the Wuming River Wharf connecting to Guishan Lake to the south.

Most of the people who come here to sell fish are at the Wuming River Pier.

Most of the people who come to buy fish come from Huyuehe Wharf.

No matter where Nan Batian comes from, as long as he comes here to do business and pays taxes to him, he will protect him.

The Osprey's shed boat is docked at the pier of the Wuming River.

There are already many masts and sails here, and many boats are docked here to sell fish.

The three-masted blue sailing ship of the fishing tyrant Li Wancai is very conspicuous.

Most of the fish on these boats come from Guishan Lake.

Of course, Li Wancai is not the only fish boss in Guishan Lake.

Even the bandits on Guishan Island might come here to sell fish.

After all, robbers also need daily necessities and a life.

Before the Osprey's boat could dock, a large group of fishmongers swarmed in, vying for fish and shouting, "Sell the fish to me, I'll give you a high price!"

Erya and Sanya had never seen such a scene before. They looked at Yuyingzi at a loss and asked, "Uncle Yuyingzi, who should we sell the fish to?"

Osprey is a frequent visitor here and knows the situation in the fish market very well.

He smiled and replied, "We won't sell to anyone. We'll wait for the big customers to come on board."

Ah Wan had followed Yuyingzi to the fish market before, and was no longer surprised by the hustle and bustle here.

It was the first time for Erya and Sanya to come here, and they were a little overwhelmed.

Only Li Meng was not affected by the surrounding environment at all, and followed A Wan closely step by step.

At this point, no matter how much Ah Wan liked Li Meng, she would feel embarrassed to hold his hand.

No matter how open-minded they are, a fisherman's daughter is still a girl!

Soon, a team of fish market patrols, wearing armor and carrying weapons, came over.

They drove away the fishmongers and boarded the Osprey's boat.

When they saw the patrol team coming on board, Erya and Sanya were so scared that they hid in the cabin.

Only Yuyingzi, Li Meng and Awan were still standing at the bow.

The captain looked at Ah Wan's face and said with a smile, "What a pretty fisherman girl!"

Then he turned to Yuyingzi and asked, "Yuyingzi, are you here to sell fish or buy things?"

Because Osprey comes here often, the patrol teams here already know him.

Osprey smiled and pulled the captain to the side, handed him two silver fish, and said, "I'm here to sell fish, brother, please take care of me and find me a good customer, how about that?"

The captain took the silverfish and said with a smile, "Silverfish, this is a good thing! How many do you have?"

On ordinary days, silverfish are very rare, and having a dozen of them is considered a large quantity.

But Osprey gave him two at once, which made the patrol captain a little unsure.

Of course, Osprey was well aware of the trick here. The larger the quantity, the less they dared to embezzle it.

So he replied, "My osprey accidentally discovered a school of silverfish, and I caught a net of silverfish, which should be no less than a thousand."

"How many? Thousands? Osprey, you've made a fortune!"

The patrol captain did not expect that the osprey would have so many silverfish.

This silverfish is both precious and in high demand, so the patrol captain must report it.

We can’t let anyone else take away these silverfish before Nan Batian.

The patrol captain immediately held Yu Yingzi's hand and said warmly, "Yu Yingzi, don't sell this batch of silverfish to anyone else. We have bought them all. We guarantee to give you the highest price. Just wait for me!"

After saying that, the patrol captain turned around and said to the tax officer, "Old Huang, this fish eagle is my brother, so don't collect the landing tax from him. After he sells the fish, just collect some transaction tax."

After saying that, he hurriedly got off the boat with the patrol team and walked towards the city gate.

After walking a few steps, he left a few patrol members behind and said to them, "You guys stay here and keep an eye on it. Don't let the osprey sell the fish."

After the patrol team left, Ah Wan asked, "Uncle Yuyingzi, do you want to sell the silverfish to Nan Batian?"

Yu Yingzi nodded and said, "Only Nan Batian has enough financial resources to eat so many silver fish in one bite."

Ah Wan asked worriedly, "But, we are in Nan Batian's territory, right?"

Yu Yingzi replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Ah Wan, Nan Batian is not Li Wancai. He is a man with big plans. He won't rob people just for these silver fish."

Anyway, A Wan was still a little worried.

In Awan's eyes, no rich and powerful person is a good thing!

Soon, the patrol captain came to Osprey's boat with a fat man dressed in silk and satin.

He was followed by dozens of followers and bodyguards.

The patrol captain introduced Yu Yingzi, "This is Hong Tu, the head shopkeeper of Wanshun Fish Shop. He's here to look at the goods."

Although Shopkeeper Hong is fat, he is agile and has bright eyes.

He glanced at the people on the boat and said in a loud voice, "Take out the silverfish and let me see it. As long as the goods are good, the price is not a problem."
