Chapter seven hundred and fourteenth dedicated to the son
The leader of the Hutou Gang looked at the young man on the horse, and his eyes were full of caution. Although he didn't know the other party, the other party was able to ride a horse, which represented the other party's identity. What's more, he brought so many guards and surrounded him and others as soon as he came up without any scruples, which made him even more cautious.
"This brother, we are from the Hutou Gang, and we have some grudges with this person. I wonder if my brother can..."
The leader of the Tiger Head Gang finally stepped forward to salute, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man behind the young man and said, "Who is your brother? All of them are arrested and sent to the yamen!"
With the order of the middle-aged man, the surrounding guards also rushed forward. The people of the Hutou Gang wanted to resist, but they did not expect that the guards were extremely powerful. They even had time to use their muskets and were kicked away. Then all the Hutou Gang members were arrested.
The young man immediately looked at the arrested Tigerhead Gang members, looked at Huang Er, who was covered in blood, and his face showed a little anger again. Then he scolded the middle-aged man around him: "In broad daylight, the surrounding Golden Harbor is in such chaos. Are you doing good things?"
Faced with the young man's questioning, the middle-aged man who was so majestic just now was frightened and immediately knelt down and bowed: "I am incompetent, please... I will punish you!"
This young man immediately was Zhu Gaochi, who had just arrived at Golden Harbor. After seeing the situation at the first stop, he also decided to learn more about the situation at Golden Harbor, so he asked local officials from Golden Harbor to accompany him. As a result, he had just left Golden Harbor and encountered this scene before him. How could he not be angry?
The official who accused him was also very aggrieved at this time. His name was Zhang Ning. He had been with Zhu Di for more than ten years and was considered an old man from the Yan Prince's Mansion. Therefore, he was sent by Zhu Di to the Americas to beat the front station and was responsible for managing the Golden Port.
Although the Golden Port is a bit chaotic, it is rich in gold and is one of Zhu Di's biggest sources of wealth. After all, no matter how the struggles are within the port, most of the gold digs are finally flowing into Zhu Di's hands. Zhang Ning is already good at financial management, so he is responsible for the management of the entire Golden Port.
Speaking of which, Zhang Ning did a good job. At least after he arrived at the Golden Port, he managed the finances here very clearly. The gold produced every year has also increased steadily. As for the security of the Golden Port, he really cannot blame him. The main reason is that he does not have enough manpower to manage the entire port and can only use the power of some gangs in the city to stabilize the port, which is why this situation is caused.
Zhu Gaochi also understood Zhang Ning's difficulties. After all, he was short of staff and had to manage such a large port. However, the situation here in Golden Harbor was special. Most of the people who came to hunt for gold were lawless and carried various weapons with them. After all, they had to resist wild beasts in the wild and could not confiscate these weapons, making it even more difficult for the Golden Harbor to manage.
However, no matter how understanding is, when I came to Golden Harbor, I encountered a group of people beating one person for the first time and almost beat him to death, which made Zhu Gaochi extremely angry, especially when he found that the onlookers were not surprised by this situation, which shows that this situation is not uncommon, and this shows that the problems in Golden Harbor's public security are obvious.
"Forget it, take the person back and lock it up in the yamen, and carry the injured back to the city for treatment. Let's talk about the matter here when you go back!" In the end, Zhu Gaochi suppressed his anger. After all, he didn't want to reveal his identity, and it was not a matter of two words to manage the Golden Harbor. He needed to make a long-term plan.
When Zhang Ning saw that Zhu Gaochi did not blame him immediately, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately ordered people to take these people from the Hutou Gang back to detain him. Then he asked someone to check Huang Er's injuries. With his current injuries, he probably had to carry him to the city to seek treatment from the doctor.
Zhu Gaochi originally wanted to go out of the city to inspect the gold mine outside the city, but now he no longer has the mood. He immediately lifted the reins and prepared to turn his horse's head back to the city.
However, at this moment, Zhu Gaochi heard a weak voice coming from behind and said, "Young Master... Please stay!"
Zhu Gaochi turned his head when he heard this, but was surprised to find that the person who called him was actually the one who was seriously injured. He saw that the other party was covered in blood at this time, but he was still holding a dirty bedding tightly in his arms, looking like a beggar.
"What's wrong with you calling me?" Zhu Gaochi adjusted his horse's head again and asked. Facing Huang Er, the injured man, his expression had eased a lot.
Huang Er first looked at Zhang Ning beside Zhu Gaochi, and then resolutely stepped forward and said, "Young Master, the villain has a treasure that I want to offer to you to you to thank you for your life-saving grace!"
"Treasure?" Zhu Gaochi almost laughed out loud when he heard this. He was the prince of the Yan King. In his eyes, the treasures for ordinary people are just ordinary, so he doesn't care about any treasures at all. If they were in normal times, he might have refused them directly.
However, since Huang Er said he would like to thank him for saving his life, Zhu Gaochi was not able to refuse, so he smiled again and said, "What treasure do you want to give me?"
Huang Erben wanted to step forward again, but was stopped by the guards beside Zhu Gaochi. After all, Zhu Gaochi has a noble status and for safety reasons, outsiders are strictly prohibited from approaching each other.
However, after Huang Er was stopped, the expression on his face became even more firm. He immediately fell to the ground, then carefully opened the dirty bedding, and finally exposed the yellow dog-headed gold inside.
"Dog head gold! It's dog head gold!" The onlookers exclaimed. After all, even if people who came to the Golden Port to hunt for gold, they had never seen dog head gold, but they had heard of the legendary dog head gold. But now they suddenly saw such a large piece of legendary dog head gold, which also made many people look horrified. This is a treasure that can make people rich overnight!
"Young Master, it's a dog-headed gold! You just came to the Golden Harbor and encountered such a treasure, which means that your fortune is great and auspicious from the sky!" Zhang Ning next to him exclaimed when he saw the Golden Harbor. Even though he had been in charge of the Golden Harbor for several years, he had only seen the Golden Harbor once before, and the size was not as large as the one in front of him.
On the way to the Golden Harbor, Zhu Gaochi heard Li Fangyuan tell the legend of dog-headed gold. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived here, he encountered someone offering dog-headed gold, which made him smile. After all, compared to ordinary treasures, dog-headed gold represents a strong luck and can even be regarded as a kind of auspiciousness. This is what Zhu Gaochi cares about the most.
However, compared to the dog-headed gold, Zhu Gaochi quickly focused on Huang Er. He gave himself the priceless dog-headed gold just because he saved the other party's life. Although this makes sense, Zhu Gaochi is not stupid. He has seen something different from this person.
