Although the people are in an uproar, the officialdom has been very calm except for the initial panic. After all, everyone knows that there can be no mistakes on this issue, otherwise they will definitely be beheaded. And beheading is a trivial matter, but raiding the family and exterminating the clan is a big deal!

In Fujian's governor's yamen, there was an eerie silence that had lasted for half an hour. In fact, in this half an hour, everyone is not sitting down. Instead, they are all thinking about how to deal with this in their own minds. That's why the governor didn't rush to get angry.

He estimated that everyone had almost made up their minds, so he slapped the table and said, "Are you dumb?" If there is no good solution to such a big matter, aren't you afraid that your official position will be unstable? ”

There was another long silence. But it didn't take long for the silence to be broken. An official gritted his teeth and said: "The lower officials think that this case is handled most appropriately according to the internal strife caused by the uneven distribution of spoils!" ”

As soon as the matter was broken, everyone had no scruples, and they all echoed it. There are also people who are full of righteous indignation and accuse Liu and Li of reading the book of sages! So everyone quickly unified their voices and completely characterized this matter!

Now that the mouth has been opened, everyone is no longer taboo. What is made out of nothing, what is far-fetched and extremely skillful! In just a quarter of an hour, the charges of the Liu and Li families are already ironclad cases!

A quarter of an hour later, the two families had already made an approximate distribution of their property. What benefits should be given to the old ones of the two families, in exchange for them not opening their mouths; Which ones should be given to Shangguan so that this matter can be settled, and which ones can be filled with their own pockets and held in their hands! It's so efficient, it's breathtaking!

Early the next morning, the governor's yamen issued a proclamation. Expose the evil deeds of the Liu and Li families in colluding with Haikou! Confirm that they are the nest owners of the Litong pirates. It was because of the uneven distribution of the spoils that the two of them caused a monstrous disaster! The government has sent men to hunt down the fugitive pirates, and several people have been killed. Among them, there are two real widows!

After the proclamation was issued, the public sentiment in Fujian Province was turbulent for a while, and all the small people angrily scolded the Liu and Li families. And the two families were still at the funeral when they were broken into the door.

Those who did not die in the massacre were all arrested and put in prison. I didn't even have a chance to cry out.

As for their family property, it was divided in a very short time, and each had a place to go. It's just that there are very few belongings reported to the imperial court. Because those pirates have already emptied the gold and silver treasures of these two families! Only after selling the land of the two families and getting silver could they be handed over to the imperial court.

The storm in officialdom has subsided, but the storm in the people has not. The people are still in fear. But some people are keenly aware of the difference! Especially the seven families who decided to support Liu Xiang were even more in a mess! God knows if Liu Pei will send someone to kill him on the shore again?

So they kept hiding their possessions and recruiting nurses. While they were in a hurry, on the same day, a book of arrows was shot into their yard! The archers were very arrogant, and they shot at the main gate, and the arrows went straight into the main hall.

There was only a small note on the arrow book, which read: "If you don't want to die, come to Penghu to see me!" Well-known does not have. ”

These families relaxed when they got this arrow book. Since there is this arrow book, it shows that things are discussed. It's better to talk about it and pay some price than to worry about it all day.

Several families sent their cronies, and after communicating with fast horses, they all went to sea from Quanzhou. This time, these seven people are very single. Except for the sailors, they didn't bring a single nursery. Because the route from Quanzhou to Penghu is patrolled by Liu Pei's fleet, it is very safe. When they got to Penghu Island, that was Liu Pei's territory. If Liu Pei wants to kill someone, it doesn't matter how many guards he brings. Therefore, several families put on a trustworthy look like Liu Pei and went to sea by boat.

This time I went to sea and I went to sea differently than last time. The last time I went to sea, the ship also brought singers and musicians, and everyone listened to the music and watched the songs and dances along the way, so happy! But this time the atmosphere at sea was completely opposite. The whole ship was cold, and everyone was silent. Everyone didn't have the heart to talk about Fengyue, they just drank tea from the teacup they fiddled with.

After a long silence, someone finally spoke something that had been said dozens of times

Title. A middle-aged man muttered, "I think that the dragon king has spoken, and he shouldn't trick us into getting rid of us." I just don't know what kind of problems he will come up with to torment me and so on. ”

Everyone shook their heads and said nothing. In fact, middle-aged people don't really want to get answers. He just wanted to break the dull atmosphere in the cabin. And they have discussed this issue in private for a long time, and they have not come up with any useful results.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man stopped speaking after he finished speaking. After a long time, he whispered, "I want to be blackmailed by the dragon king this time for a large sum of silver, right?" ”

At this time, a person next to him said: "Instead of being blackmailed by him, it's better to be yourself!" Let's just say that if there is a sum of silver for him, he will be regarded as a labor army, and maybe he will be able to ignore what we have done. ”

Someone spoke, the atmosphere was lively, and several talents successively joined the topic. When the ship approached Penghu. Ships came over to inspect the vessel and ask about the vessel's destination. The bow of the ship lowers the sails and allows the people on the opposite boat to jump over. After the bow of the ship had spoken, the people who had come had turned around the cabin and turned away.

An old man pointed out the window and said, "Look at the sails on the sea, and there are sentinel boats patrolling back and forth. This red-eyed dragon king's rule of the army is really unique! A group of pirates were turned into elite soldiers by him! But it has its ability! ”

One of the people next to him said approvingly: "That's true! If we could have let go of the prejudice in our hearts earlier and carefully examine the beginning and end of the development of the Red-Eyed Dragon King, maybe we wouldn't have caused such a big disaster! For example, although it is not in swing today, it has already declined. Maybe this sea can really give birth to a real dragon, but I don't know! ”

At this point, everyone closed their mouths and said no more. It would be a great rebellion to continue! These people on the boat are all from scholarly families, full of poetry and books, proficient in human affairs, where can you not see the appearance of the Daming River!

It's just that they always feel in their hearts that there is no thousand-year-old dynasty, but there is a thousand-year-old family. The head of the city changed the banner of the king, but there were few literati who ruled the world. No matter who controls the world, they can't do without them. That's why there is no fear.
