Chapter Ninety-Eight: This Matter Is Not Excused for Anything

Although this time he went to sea to do business, he won the battle when he encountered pirates for the first time, and everyone in Qinghuaxiang was excited. Under the command of Wu Ping, the sailors of Qinghuaxiang cleaned the deck of the captive ship while searching the cabin of the captive ship, and most of the captives were escorted to Qinghuaxiang, after the disarmament of the three-masted galleon, Yang Zhizhong took a few sailors to check the damage of Qinghuaxiang and the three-masted galleon, and soon sent someone to report that the two ships were not seriously damaged and could continue to sail as originally planned.

Everything went quite smoothly, the only fly in the ointment was that there was not much valuable booty to be found on the three-masted galleon, not even a lot of food and water, and it can be inferred that the purpose of the ship to go to sea was indeed to rob or patrol, and their lair 'den' should not be far from here.

Wu Ping interrogated the leader of this pirate fleet, and after knowing that the other party had a big base nearby, he hurriedly pulled him to see Dongmen' Qing, and said: "This guy's surname is Chen, Xingliu, there seems to be a big force behind him, if he doesn't lie, this place is really not suitable for a long time!" ”

Dongmen Qing saw that Chen Liumei's 'hair' was short, his eyes were small, his body was short, and his appearance was obscene, so he didn't look like the head of a pirate fleet, and frowned: "Just him?" ”

That Chen Liu's 'lust' shouted inwardly: "You'd better let me go quickly!" Go back and let my brother know that none of you will die well! ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled: "Ouch, I'm so afraid, so afraid, Wu Ping, let's quickly throw him into the sea to destroy the corpse, so as not to be known by his brother." ”

That Chen Liu was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't! No! Don't kill me! When I meet my brother when I turn around, I will intercede for you and let him let you live! ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled: "What if he doesn't let it go?" ”

Chen Liu shouted: "We have 100 warships and thousands of children in Shitanzhai, and we have been rampant in the East China Sea in the past two years, invincible!" If you dare to touch a single 'hair' of me, it will make you seem to have no place to bury!" ”

Dongmen' Qing listened to his big words, not enough to believe it, so he asked people to take him down first, but another few prisoners were interrogated separately, interrogated five or six rounds, and eliminated the contradictory lies, lies, and big words between several prisoners, only to learn that the stone altar village where Chen Liu was located was indeed a sea Kou Yuanxu on the sea in this area, and the leader Chen Si was a thief in eastern Zhejiang who had only risen in the past two or three years! If the ships on the sea surface of Taizhou and Ningbo want to pass through this area, they have to buy waterway navigation beacons from Chen Si. Chen Si has an older brother and two younger brothers, and Chen Liu is the youngest. This time I came out to intercept the northbound monsoon and hunt some "wild meat".

At this time, Yang Zhizhong also came back, and when he heard about the place occupied by Chen Si, he frowned and said: "The place occupied by this stone altar village is quite important, it seems that the strength of this Chen Si is not under Nan Xu Dong, otherwise he would not be able to gain a firm foothold here!" ”

These years are the period of great development of maritime trade, the east and west oceans are surging, every year there will rise a number of powerful people, and at the same time a number of old forces will fall, last year's people may decline this year, today's nobodies may be famous tomorrow - this impermanence is not only the horror of the ocean, but also the charm of the ocean! It has been more than two years since Yang Zhizhong set out from Fujian to go to the South Seas, and it is not surprising that a new force has risen in the sea east of Zhejiang during this time.

Zhou Dafu said: "If that's the case, then we have to get around quickly, don't be caught up by their main force!" ”

Kavala said, "I don't think there's too much to worry about, this group is nothing special, one of our ships can beat three of them, and a hundred people can beat them five hundred!" Even if there are a few thousand of them, we can't beat them, and it's always okay to escape. ”

Dongmenqing shook his head and said, "You can't say that. When the pirates talked about Chen Liu just now, they all had disdain in their eyes, but when it came to their village owners, they all looked a little scared. Presumably, this Chen Liu is not a powerful person in Shitanzhai, and most of the people who can sit in this position are due to the shadow of his brother. There are many things about fathers and brothers like tigers and children like lambs! We must not rush to replace our brother with his brother, otherwise we are afraid that we will suffer. ”

Wu Ping also said: "Yes, seeing that the command of these three ships is a little 'chaotic', but they are still 'strong' when facing the battle, with such subordinates, then Chen Si is probably not simple." ”

Zhou Dafu said: "Yes! We're here to do business this time, so there's no need to go head-to-head with people. ”

Dongmenqing nodded and said, "Okay, then avoid it." Asked Yang Zhizhong: "Can our ship go around a little way to the east and then go to Shuangyu?" ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "No problem. Our food and water are enough, although Qinghuaxiang has undergone a big collision, there is almost no damage, and the boat built by Niujiapu really lives up to its name! As for the captured ship, it seems to be fine now. ”

The east 'gate' Qing immediately ordered, let the two ships reorganize and then set off to the east, Wu Ping scattered the sailors who had surrendered into the ranks to serve, Qing Huaxiang in front, the three-masted sailing ship in the back, drove a distance to the east, Chen Baifu, who was patrolling the three-masted sailing ship, suddenly ran back, to the ship's cabin and shouted: "Captain, look who I have brought!" ”

Dongmen' Qing said with a smile: "Now on the sea, surrounded by the sea, if you don't pick up the village or the store, can you still bring the Dragon King?" ”

Chen Baifu said: "No, no, I was patrolling over there just now, and suddenly someone pulled the corner of my clothes, but it was a sailor who surrendered in Shitanzhai, I looked at it, I didn't recognize it at first sight, and when I looked at it again, I recognized it as an old man!" ”

East 'Gate' Qingqi said: "Shitanzhai actually has our old people? That's amazing! ”

Chen Baifu beckoned to the 'door', walked in a person, his face was dark, his face was 'colored', and when he saw the east 'gate', Qing cried bitterly: "Prince Wang! ”

Dongmenqing was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in a lost voice: "Yu Bu quit!" It's you! How could you be on the boat in Shitanzhai! ”

Yang Zhizhong, Zhou Dafu and others in the cabin have also recognized him, they are all surprised, Wu Ping asked who this person is, Zhou Dafu roughly explained, and the east 'door' Qing has stepped forward to hold his hand and said: "Don't quit?" Is it really you? ”

Yu Bu fell to the ground and said, "It's me!" Wang Gongzi, when I saw Chen Baifu over there just now, I thought it was a dream, so I stepped forward boldly and said a few words, only to know that it was really you. ”

Dongmenqing hurriedly pulled him up and sat down beside him, and asked, "I haven't seen him for so long, how did you become like this?" How did he run to the ship of Shitanzhai? ”

Yu Buqi sighed: "That day, Wang Gongzi, you robbed the ...... of the Yang Ship" Saying that, he glanced at Yang Zhizhong, Yang Zhizhong hurriedly said: "I am no longer the owner of the ship, on this ship, the owner of the ship is the prince of the king." If you think about the past, we have some affection, you can call me uncle, or you can call me Yang Lao. As for my robbery, it was just a misunderstanding! The owner and I have settled our suspicions. And the murder of Brother Zhang was even more of a ghost done by Zhang Yixing's brothers, and the owner was framed by them that night! ”

"I see." Yu Buzhi said: "Actually, I don't need Uncle Yang to say, I already know that Wang Gongzi was framed for that matter." I had doubts about the accident that night, but the situation was 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' at that time, although I had suspicions, there was no evidence, so I let the situation be led away by Zhang Yixing! Wang Gongzi took Yang ...... After the uncle left, Guangchang Pingfu Zhilong became a mess, several directors fought openly and secretly, and finally the fleet was controlled by the Zhang Yixing brothers. Zhang Yixing listened to Chen Wu's words again, saying that if the goods in Shuangyu could be sold at a better price in the north, and he had an elder brother who opened Hong Kong and Macao in the Ning'bo' area, he could receive it there. ”

The East Gate Qing recited the names of "Chen Si", "Chen Wu" and "Chen Liu", and said: "Could it be that Chen Si of this stone altar village has anything to do with the Chen Wu we met?" ”

"Chen Si Chen Wu, they are brothers!" Yu Buqi said: "When Chen Wu went south, Chen Si had not yet made a career, but in recent years, Chen Si has quickly risen to become a big pirate in eastern Zhejiang, Chen *** knows how to hear the news, so he will come to vote for him!" This Chen Si is ruthless and ruthless, but his reputation is extremely stinky! The Shitanzhai is not only not as business-oriented as Shuangyu, but even worse than Nanao - the upper and lower villages of Nanao have been open for a long time, the foundation is deeper, as long as the past merchants buy the navigation beacon will not be treacherous, but Shitanzhai here often ignores the rules of the sea, "chaos" rushes "chaos" collisions, so Xu Longtou, Wang Wufeng they do not interact with Chen Si. However, I only found out about Chen Si's things later, where did everyone know about them at that time? After entering the village, I knew what kind of commercial port it was? It's clearly a thief! Even Zhang Yixing and Zhang Yisheng regretted it, but it was really easy to come out after entering the thief's den! ”

Dongmen' Qing asked: "Chen Wu used his brother's power to elevate Zhang Yixing and Zhang Yisheng?" ”

"Wang Gongzi's expectation is very accurate!" Yu Buqi said: "As soon as our fleet entered the port, Chen Wu began to make noise between words, Zhang Yixing and Zhang Yisheng saw that it was not good, and secretly asked everyone to prepare to leave overnight. But at this time, everyone didn't trust their brothers very much, and when Chen Wu heard the rumors, he actually 'exposed' Zhang Yixing's murder of the old owner to us, and the entire Guangchang Pingfu Zhilong was fried! We are all people pulled up by the old owner, where can we sit still when we hear the news? At the moment, I made an appointment with someone to question Zhang Yixing, Zhang Yixing was 'forced' by us to be in a hurry, and he actually took refuge in Chen Si and Chen Wu, and in turn *** us! ”

The east 'gate' sighed: "Zhang Yixing and you are all fooled!" Although Guangchang Pingfu Zhilong is trapped in a den of thieves, if you can unite as one, it will not be easy for the people of Shitanzhai to deal with you, Chen Wu deliberately revealed the truth about the murder of the old owner not to seek justice, but to kill Zhang Yixing and you! Weaken your power! Well, if this ploy is Chen Si's plan, then he is not an easy character to deal with! ”

Yu Buci's eyes were red, and he said, "What Wang Gongzi said is that if we had known that Chen Si was more ruthless and cunning than his younger brother, we would not have been fooled. But when we heard the news, we were all filled with resentment, and everyone only wanted to avenge the old owner, where could we think of this! On the same day, we 'forced' to ask Zhang Yixing Zhang Yisheng, 'forced' them to be divided, Zhang Yisheng disappeared that night, until the next morning, the people of Shitanzhai rushed to the ship, and Zhang Yixing should cooperate with the outside, occupied Guangchangping, and then captured Fuzhilong, the red goods of the two ships were their own, all the brothers who resisted the two ships were killed by them, especially the fearless men swore never to live with the killer of the owner and the fearless people, most of them were killed in that battle...... Leave only ...... Leave us who are greedy for life and afraid of death! Speaking of this, I couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Yang Zhizhong heard that Fu Zhilong also died a lot of people, so he asked how so-and-so, how so-and-so, Fu Zhilong's resistance was weaker than Guangchangping that day, but casualties were inevitable, although not like Guangchangping nearly half of the dead, but also lost two or three *** hands, Yang Zhizhong heard that so many soldiers had died, and he couldn't help beating his chest and bursting into tears: "It's all my fault!" It's all my fault! ”

Dong'men' Qing has been helpless and wandering since being hit into the sea by a storm, until he went to Guangchangping to be relatively stable, because Zhang Changyi took care of it, those days were also a bit happy, and Guangchangping's sailors had a lot of feelings, and at this time I heard that they were killed and couldn't help but be sad.

Yu Buxi continued: "After Chen Si and Chen Wu seized our ship and goods, it was a person with a knife who had more money in his hands! Dengshi's prestige increased greatly, and he annexed several nearby water villages one after another, and established a lot of Wan'er in this area! But he has always been very wary of us people, Zhang Yixing and Zhang Yisheng have been the leaders in the village, and the people with him are okay, Cui Guangnan grovels to the four Chen brothers, and they are doing well! But the other brothers who are still alive are all living crimes! Wang Gongzi, you also know that on our Guangchang Ping Fu Zhilong ship, there are some gentlemen who are in charge of accounting, some are department stores who know overseas goods well, and some are wonderful mouths who are familiar with the words of various places. The old owner raised them, but they were not used for rough work! But now in Shitanzhai, I was arranged to do those dirty, tiring and hard work, I ate and slept less, and it was a person like me, assigned to Chen Liu's men, and he just asked me to wash the deck! If it is slightly against the meaning of the peak, the punches, kicks, whips, and sticks are still light, and two brothers were cut off for committing some trivial things such as breaking dishes and bowls! There was even a brother who was thrown into the sea by Chen Si on the spot and drowned because he said the wrong word! How can people suffer on such a day when their lives are on the verge of death? If it weren't for the old master's teachings not to take a chance, there were several times when I really wanted to jump into the sea! ”

Wu Ping snorted and said, "There are a lot of you guys, right?" Didn't you think about *** and running away? ”

"*** don't dare, but the idea of escaping is there!" Yu Buqi said: "Although Chen Wu has broken us up, we can't charge into battle, but we still have some ability to do some clever work. After two months, we all used various means to get in touch, and everyone thought about escaping. It's just that Shitanzhai hangs lonely overseas, you can't go without a boat, Chen Si's rules are strict, without his warrant, no ship can leave the port, if you leave the port, then everyone is under the control of the leaders of each ship, and you can't do it. ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing nodded and said, "It sounds like this Chen Si still has a few tricks to control the axe. ”

Yu Buci suddenly knelt down for the East Gate Qing, and was so frightened that the East Gate Qing hurriedly supported him again and said, "No resignation, how can you make such a big ceremony!" Yu Buzhi said: "Wang Gongzi, oh, no, the master, I don't do this ceremony for myself, but for the brothers who are still trapped in Shitanzhai!" Right now, only you can save Guang Changping's brother! Please, save them! ”

The east 'gate' celebrated: "Don't excuse you, you are too exalted to me." ”

Yu Buqi exclaimed: "How is this lifting! When *** did a few things in Guangchang, we were extremely admired by the people on the boat! And you usually only have a small boat when you leave Guangchang, but now you are the owner of a great fortune ship, and there are so many capable people under your hands, and even the fleet of Shitanzhai was beaten to the ground by your raised hand, which shows that your magical powers are vast! Owner! Although some of our brothers offended you on the night of the murder of the old owner, it was also because of Zhang Yixing and Zhang Yisheng's 'blindness'! Now that Brother Zhang Yixing has torn through the disguise, everyone in Guangchangping can see his face clearly, and you also deeply regret that you misunderstood the owner that day! Now we don't want anything else, only hope to escape from that purgatory that may kill at any time, if the owner can save us for the sake of the old owner, then you are our reborn parents! In the future, in the water and fire, let you obey the call! ”

Yang Zhizhong also came out to kneel, but he was supported by the East Gate, but his words did not stop: "Master, there are also many of my children in the stone altar village!" This old life of mine was originally given by you, the owner, and I am embarrassed to take it out again, but I still have the cheekiness to ask the owner to think of a way to save these children for the sake of Yue'e! ”

Yu Buxi's heart moved when he heard this: "Yue'e? ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "The owner of the ship has already married Yue. ”

Yu was overjoyed and exclaimed, "I see, I see! He didn't say anything more, but the eagerness on his face said it all!

Dongmen' Qing also knew that they had carried Zhang Changyi and Yue'e out, and it would be difficult for him to agree, so he looked at Wu Ping and asked him: "If you want to save people, what do you think are the chances of winning?" ”

Wu Ping asked Yu Buqi how many troops were in Shitanzhai, how many warships there were, how to lay them out, what they had been transferred recently, etc., Yu Buqi told him everything he knew, and Wu Ping shook his head while listening.

Yu did not hesitate to distinguish his face and observe the 'color', knowing that he was in trouble, he hurriedly said good news: "Recently, Chen Wu led the fleet to Hangzhou Bay to do business, and the people mobilized the people, and brought Cui Guangnan, Zhang Yixing, and Zhang Yisheng with him, although I don't know what he is going to do, but it will take a month to come back, so the power of the village owner has been weakened a lot. ”

Wu Ping asked him how many big ships Chen Wu had taken away, and there were still a few big boats in the harbor of Shitanzhai at the moment, and after hearing this, he said to the East 'Gate' Qing: "If you want to save people with righteousness, I won't support you, but if you want to ask me what chance I have, I tell you, half of it is not!" ”

Dongmen' Qing frowned and said, "Half of it is not?" ”

Wu Ping said: "Let's put it this way, you assume that Xu Chaoguang's fleet has not returned to Xia Zhai now, and we rely on this Qing Huaxiang to go to Xu Dong's village to save people, what do you think is the chance of winning?" ”

Dongmen Qingyi listened to the "gasp" of cold air, and was speechless for a long time.
