Chapter 45: The Old Merchant and the Young Thief III

Dongmen Qing was in a somewhat depressed mood when he returned to the temporary lair, but this time he didn't hide it, so his mood was directly reflected on his face. Chen Baifu, Shen Wei and the other more clever people knew that most of the things were bad at a glance, so they didn't ask him again, but Kavala didn't know what to do, and as soon as they saw him, they asked, "Wang Gongzi, how is it?" How's it going? ”

Seeing Dongmen Qing shaking his head, Kavala shouted, "What happened?" Make it clear! You've been gone for so long, nothing has happened, right? ”

Dongmen Qing still didn't speak, and Shui Yu Cai couldn't help it, and shouted, "What the hell did you tell that group of merchants?" You...... Don't you fail to convince people because you're mute, right? I knew I should let someone who is not dumb go. ”

Chen Baifu Shen Wei couldn't help frowning when he heard him say this, Zhou Dafu rolled his eyes, approached Dongmen Qing and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Dongmen Qing's face sank even more, and he glanced at him, this look was so murderous that he was so frightened that Shuiyu Cai took two steps back, and said, "I'm ...... I ......"

Shen Wei hurriedly made peace and said: "Don't be like this, everyone!" In fact, the owner of the ship originally asked Wang Gongzi to go alone, so it was useless for others to go. And Wang Gongzi is alone this time, and now he can come back, which is already auspicious. When everyone heard this, they all felt reasonable, and Shen Wei said to Dongmen Qing again: "Wang Gongzi, they are all rough people, and they are anxious, don't be surprised." ”

As he spoke, the bullfrog ran over and said, "Not good! Someone's rushing this way! It seems that he came with Wang Gongzi! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Zhou Dafu jumped up and shouted: "Sure enough, there is a trick! They took Wang Gongzi and let him back, because they wanted to find our whereabouts! ”

Chen Baifu, Shen Wei and others all said: "Not bad! ”

looked at Dongmen Qing together, but saw that he was gesturing to let everyone not panic, and asked Bullfrog how many people followed, and Bullfrog said, "One!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Shen Wei said: "Alone? What's the matter? ”

Then I heard a man's voice shouting, "Prince Wang! Are you there? Come out and tell you something! ”

Dongmen Qingluo heard He Wuxing's voice, and as soon as he groaned, he asked the others to hide first, and he took Chen Baifu out by himself, He Wuxing saw him and smiled: "This place is easy to find!" ”

Chen Baifu snorted: "What are you going to do!" Is it impossible to kill them all? ”

"This brother is serious!" He Wuxing said: "Actually, the owner of the ship sent me to inform you, please get on the ship." ”

At this time, everyone else was lying in ambush behind various obstacles, and as soon as these words came out, several people couldn't help but sigh at the same time, He Wuxing looked around and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is here." ”

Dongmen Qing refused to believe it, and asked Chen Baifu to ask He Wuxing on his behalf in sign language: "Your owner has already rejected me, why is he backsliding on his word now?" Could it be that there is another conspiracy in it? ”

"Conspiracy? What conspiracy can we have! He Wudaunt said: "We are businessmen, not pirates, we just want not to be harmed by others, where can we pay back others?" Besides, what good is it for us to harm you? ”

As soon as he said this, Shen Wei and Zhou Dafu in the dark believed it for seven or eight points, and He Wuxing said: "Actually, I'm not afraid to spread it out and say, Wang Gongzi, the owner of the ship finally rejected you, in fact, it was to try you, if you agreed at that time, whether the owner let you get on the boat, I'm afraid it's hard to say." ”

Dongmen Qing was stunned for a moment, and Shui Yu Cai couldn't help but appear and asked, "The master tried the prince?" What to try? ”

He Wuxing smiled, and told Dongmen Qing's performance after getting on the ship, the visit of the natives of the island, the decision of the ship's advocate Changyi, and Dongmen Qing's final answer, and all the sailors raised their foreheads and exclaimed: "I see! I see! ”

Shuiyu Cai's face was flushed, and he knelt in front of Dongmen Qing with a puff, and slapped himself and said: "Wang Gongzi, I'm sorry, today I know what it means to measure a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart!" ”

Dongmen Qing hurriedly grabbed his hand to prevent him from hurting himself, and Kavala also stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Wang Gongzi, I doubted you when I was in a hurry just now, you ...... Don't be surprised. I won't doubt you what you do in the future! Even if the owner of the ship refuses to let us get on the ship, I am willing to follow you to hunt and build ships on this island! ”

Dongmen Qing's tongue was inconvenient, but he tried his best to support, Chen Baifu and Shen Wei also stepped forward and said: "Although you just said something that shouldn't be, but don't worry, if Wang Gongzi didn't have this measure, he would have promised that Zhang Bo master a long time ago, where would he come back to take care of us?" ”

Shuiyu Cai brothers, Kavala and others all said: "Yes, yes! This is the shame that broke into laughter. Zhou Dafu looked at them like this, and said in his heart: "This leader is really good, and if you rely on him tighter in the future, it may be better than relying on the Buddha Lang Jiren." ”

He Wuxing saw it on the side, and said, "But there is one more condition." ”

Dongmen Qing and the others were stunned again, and Shen Wei hurriedly asked, "What conditions?" ”

He Wudaunt said: "Before you get on the ship, you have to hand over all your weapons, and when you get on the ship, you must obey the arrangement of the chief steward and use it as a sailor." When I return to the mainland, I will naturally return the things to you. ”

Shen Wei muttered: "When it is used by sailors, this is how it should be." It's just that...... Just asking us to hand over our weapons, it's not ......"

He Wuxing sneered: "What is this? The ship's combat equipment has always been managed by the treasurer, and the same is true for the sailors and helmsmen of their own homes, not to mention that you are the guests who have come to defect? Did you intend to ignore this rule when you first came to ask for help? ”

Shen Wei and the others looked at each other, they also knew that He Wuxing was right, in other words, if they wanted to let a group of strangers ride, they would not let the other party untie their weapons first. It's just that the two sides only had a conflict last night, and it was difficult for each other to trust each other, so they hesitated. Everyone couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they all looked towards Dongmen Qing, and Dongmen Qing thought about it for a while, and nodded at Chen Baifu. Chen Baifu said: "Listen to them? Dongmen Qing nodded again, and Shui Yu Cai first shouted: "Okay! Since the prince nodded, let's follow! ”

Kavala also exclaimed, "Yes! ”

At that moment, the ten people approached the small bay again under the leadership of He Wuxing, Zhang Changyi had already led a group of directors and sailors to wait there, Dongmenqing took a few steps ahead, fell to the ground, and marked on the beach: "We will trust each other with our lives, and I hope that the owner of the ship will not deceive us!" ”

Zhang Changyi hurriedly helped him up and said, "Wang Gongzi is serious, he is serious. Don't worry, as long as you follow the rules, I will keep you ashore safely! When I go back to Guangdong, I will give you a calculation of your work. ”

Shen Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, so he handed over the weapon to the treasurer Zhang Yisheng, and the manager Zhang Yixing arranged the position. There was no vacancy on board, so they were assigned to guard a small boat and clean the port side. At first glance, you can see that this life is not important, obviously the other party has not treated them as their own people, but Shen Wei and the others also understand.

The fleet remained on the island for another eight days to see if the wind was turning before setting sail and leaving. During these eight days, they not only helped the natives of the island to relocate their new homes, but also left behind eight sailors and many tools before leaving, and promised to come again. Thousands of men, women, and children of this tribe were grateful for Zhang Changyi's kindness, and when Guangchangping and Fuzhilong sailed, they actually sent it to the whole tribe, and asked Zhang Changyi for permission to change the name of this island to Changping Island.

Shen Wei and the others were still wary of this owner, but when they saw him so compassionate and righteous, they were all relieved, although they had not yet returned to the mainland, they all felt that the decision of "Wang Gongzi" was right.

After the boat sailed, there was no major event, Dongmen Qing and the nine sailors led by him had nothing else to do after doing the work on the port side every day, but they were also idle, and Zhang Changyi was polite to them, so they were also happy.

The only fly in the ointment is that the manager Zhang Yixing and the treasurer Zhang Yisheng seem to look down on them, and they both squint when they look at them, making Shui Yu Cai and others angry enough. Chen Baifu always persuaded: "Forget it, forget it, under the eaves of people, you have to bow your head." What's more, they are the nephews of the old ship owner Zhang, and if they don't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, they will treat this ship as if there are no two people! ”

Shen Wei sighed: "If it weren't for the two of them, I would almost want to stay in Guangchangping and follow the old owner to make a living." But the thought that if you stay, you will have to be managed by the two of them, it is uncomfortable to think about it, so forget it. ”

Zhou Dafu suddenly came over and whispered: "In the past few days, I have become acquainted with some old people in Guangchangping, and I heard them say that these two brothers are good at gambling and prostitution, and they made their father angry to death at the beginning. There is no woman on the shore, but the gambling sex has not changed, and there was a big gamble in Luzon, which made the sky dark and almost missed the business, but fortunately, the old owner came forward to settle it. There are more people who disagree with them, and it's not just the two of us. Even the two most powerful subordinates of the old master, He Wuxing and Yu Buzhi, don't seem to be very convinced! "Although he is not as cunning as Sato Hideyoshi, and his scheming is not as good as Dongmen Kei, he is smooth by nature and good at dealing with all kinds of people, otherwise how can he be trusted by the Franco? In the past few days, he put down the shelf of the fox and fake tiger when he was on the Golden Dog, agitated the reed tongue, and it didn't take long for him to mingle with Shuiyu Cai and them, plus Dongmen Qing was relaxed, so he no longer looked trembling when he joined the gang.

Kavala was also interested when he heard Zhou Dafu's words, and said, "Or, let's find a way to rectify them?" ”

Suddenly, there was a snap, Zhou Dafu and Kavala's heads were knocked twice by Dongmenqing, the two of them quickly stopped, Chen Baifu said: "You are too restless, your own affairs have not been decided, you want to provoke others!" The so-called inseparable, after all, is the nephew of the old owner, be careful to sue the old owner to anger, throw us into the sea to feed the sharks! ”

Shen Wei smiled and said, "That's right, let's think about how to make a living in the future." Seeing Dongmen Qing Fangcai lying on the deck with squinting eyes, not only did he not participate in the discussion, but he was not even interested in listening, so he asked him: "Wang Gongzi, we are ready to follow you, what do you say we will do in the future?" ”

Dongmen Qing turned around, opened his eyes, and threw himself into the sea, where the occasional water bird was infested.
