Chapter 135 Double-headed Koi
The east 'gate' celebrated the land, and when he saw Zhou Dafu's face full of frustration, he was about to jump into the sea, but was stopped by Kavala and others. Rong Jiu shouted: "Manly man, if you lose this money, you will die or live, and you don't have any courage." Come here, I've won your stuff, and I'll give it all back to you! ”
Zhou Dafu was overjoyed: "Really? ”
"No way!" Dongmen' Qing came over, and everyone shouted when they saw him: "Chief Lord." "East 'Gate' Qingdao: "Winning is winning, losing is losing." There are no fathers and sons in the casino, and there are no kings and ministers in bets - you said this sentence yourself! ”
Zhou Dafu was remorseful, and Dongmen' Qing said to Rong Jiu again: "If you can't return the thing, it can be regarded as a lesson for him, or he will have to plant a bigger heel in the future!" ”
Rong Jiu heard Dongmen' Qing say this, so he was silent. Dongmen' Qing asked again: "Who loses the most tonight?" ”
Kavala, Shen Wei and others all lost a lot, but when they saw that Rong Jiu had won the evil, they all withdrew halfway, only Zhou Dafu gambled on 'sex', and desperately pressed his entire net worth, so he lost the most. After the east 'gate' Qing asked, he said: "We have an agreement, who loses the most tonight, everyone will cooperate, and each person will give him ten catties of raw silk to make a book, you don't have to make up this money, I will come out!" ”
When everyone heard this, they applauded, and they all called the general lord righteous.
Zhou Dafu heard that the East Gate Qing rewarded him with raw silk, as if a death row prisoner saw a glimmer of life, and struggled to kowtow to the East Gate Qing and said: "Chief Owner, I, I ......"
Dong 'Gate' Qing asked, "What are you?" ”
Zhou Dafu said: "When I win a lot of money in the future, I will definitely repay the owner tenfold!" ”
Hearing this, Dongmen' Qingyi scolded: "You still gamble!" Do you know you missed something big tonight? ”
Zhou Dafu was surprised: "I ...... Am I missing something big? What did I miss big? ”
Higashi'mon Kei said to Hideyoshi, who had followed him all the way, "Hideyoshi, tell everyone!" ”
Hideyoshi told everyone what happened on the ship tonight, and Kavala and the others shouted that it was dangerous, and they thought that if they really let Zhou An and others drive away the Qingxiang or scuttle the ship, then their losses would be very large. Zhou Dafu was sweating when he heard it - this Zhou An was watched by him, and now that something has happened, he can't escape this responsibility no matter what.
Dongmen' Qing looked at him coldly and asked, "What should I do about this, you say?" ”
Zhou Dafu's whole body trembled, and after a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "You say, boss, if you want to kill or chop, Zhou Dafu doesn't dare to say anything!" ”
Dong 'Gate' Qing asked: "Do you have any other relatives?" ”
Zhou Dafu's heart was cold when he heard it, and everyone was also panicked, and Zhou Dafu said in a trembling voice: "It's still ...... There's also an old lady at home. ”
Dong 'Gate' Qing asked: "Does anyone on the ship know the whereabouts of your wife?" ”
Zhou Dafu thought for a while and said, "Yes." Then he pointed out the names of the two sailors.
Dongmen' Qing asked and understood, and said: "Okay, that batch of raw silk, I will operate it for you, this time I will go to Japan and return to China, how much profit will be born in the middle, and I will send someone to give it to your wife in the future." You can go without worry. ”
Zhou Dafu cried on the spot, everyone felt desolate, Rong Jiu, Kavala, etc. came to intercede, Anthony also said: "Chief owner, although Zhou Dafu made a mistake, but such a punishment is too heavy." For the sake of his first offense, spare him. ”
Dongmen' Qingdao: "Fortunately, there was no accident today, but two brothers have been killed, if they really take the ship, I don't know how many people's 'lives' will be buried here!" How can you spare him! ”
Rong Jiu suddenly said: "But the chief master, when he was ***, you didn't stop it!" If you're wrong, you're wrong! ”
When everyone heard Rong Jiu accuse Dongmen, Qingdu thought he was so bold, but it made sense when he thought about it. Dongmen Qing was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Then what do you say you should do?" ”
Rong Jiu said, "If you want to be punished, you must also be punished." ”
Tang Xiuji hurriedly shouted: "How can that be, how can the chief owner be punished?" ”
Rong Jiu said: "He himself is not punished, but he wants to kill Zhou Dafu, how can this convince people?" ”
Yang Zhizhong said: "But the traitor was discovered because the chief owner was cautious and sent us to patrol the ship. So even if the owner is a little small in this matter, he has a great achievement! ”
Everyone said: "Yes, yes, the chief owner is kind to everyone and has merit in this matter." ”
Ah Yin said: "Speaking of this matter, not only is the owner at fault, but all the people who participated in *** are at fault." It's better to be like this, everyone will take responsibility for their mistakes together, don't kill Zhou Dafu. ”
Everyone said: "Miss Ah Yin is right! ”
Seeing that everyone said this, Dongmen' Qing had to say: "Well, this matter, wrong, I didn't think about it from the beginning!" After the ship sailed, I punished myself on the bulkhead wall of the ship, and unless something happened, I could not go out of the 'door' until the big ship came to shore. Do you think it's okay? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and finally said, "The master is fair." ”
Dong 'Gate' Qing said: "This incident has also taught us all a lesson, from now on, during the voyage, those who have a job are not allowed to gamble and drink, carnival and dereliction of duty, and violators will be punished severely regardless of their position!" No more! Even myself! ”
All the sailors said, "It should be so." ”
Dong 'Gate' Qing said to Zhou Dafu again: "Tonight's incident, the fault is not entirely yours, the 'sex' life will be recorded, but the punishment is inevitable." I'll punish you for not gambling again!" ”
Zhou Dafu's face distorted: "Chief Owner, you ...... You might as well have my life at my disposal! ”
Dongmenqing's face sank: "Really? ”
Zhou Dafu threw a few punches at the sand, and finally shouted: "Okay! I...... I'm not betting anymore! Who borrowed the knife for me? ”
Hideyoshi asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Zhou Taifu said: "Don't worry, I am not committing suicide. ”
Everyone looked at the East Gate, and the East Gate, and said, "Give it to him." ”
Zhou Dafu took the knife, cut off the thumb of his right hand and said, "If I gamble again, it's like this finger!" ”
On the second day, while the fleet was still resting on the island, the East Gate Kei presided over the dispersal and regrouping of the sailors of the four ships, and laid down several concise and easy-to-remember rules for rewards and punishments, as well as the salaries and responsibilities of sailors at all levels, and compiled them into songs for his subordinates to sing. At this time, the credit of Dongmenqing had been established, and as soon as he opened his mouth, all the sailors believed that he would honor it, and thought that according to these regulations, as long as they followed him, they would have money to take while alive, and a pension and a place to settle in death, and they would all be willing to stay in this fleet.
Anthony looked at the pirate flag on the Fuchong and felt uncomfortable, and asked the East Gate Qing to take down the flag, although the East Gate Qing felt that the skeleton was very ***, but he couldn't stand Ah Yin saying that he was afraid, so he followed Anthony's advice.
"Boss, we might as well 'make' our own flag." I don't know who suggested it.
"Your own flag?"
"yes, it's a diagram, or a symbol."
Some people said that there was a "king" word, but the east 'door' Qing thought that this king word was just a fake name that was casually recited at the beginning, not to mention that he was becoming more and more powerful at the moment, and his origin was becoming less and less necessary to keep secrets, and sooner or later he would have to tell his subordinates, so he was reluctant to use this king word.
When everyone saw the owner shaking his head, they knew that he didn't want to use the word "king", and they all discussed what patterns and symbols to use.
Someone said, "Use the dragon." It's on the sea! The dragon is the most imposing. ”
"With a dragon?" Yang Zhizhong exclaimed: "You are looking for death!" Hang the dragon flag, but I am afraid that when I get to the near sea, I will be said to be ***! The local officials dared to hide other things, but they didn't dare to do so. We are a business, not an unscrupulous 'Mao' bandit at sea! In the future, I will have to do business in the coastal and even inland areas! As soon as this matter is 'exposed', a hundred Qinghuaxiang will have to be uprooted! ”
"Uh...... That...... So what is good to use? ”
Dongmen' Qing said: "It's better to go to the boat first and see what kind of fabric is used." ”
There are a lot of silk weaving and cotton cloth products on several ships, but they are either 'flowers', or birthday stars, or gods, or gods, or birds, or deer, and the east 'gate' celebration is not satisfied, until they find a piece of double carp brocade, they are a little moved: "How about this piece?" ”
Everyone said, "Yes, it's beautiful." ”
Yang Zhizhong also said: "Well, fish is also a thing in the water. The carp jumps over the dragon 'door', and the intention is good, and it is not taboo. ”
Tang Xiuji said: "It's just that this carp is a little strange. ”
Anthony said, "yes, it seems to be missing a tail." ”
It turned out that the pair of carp seemed to have two overlapping tails at first glance, but after a closer look, there was a tail missing, but it seemed that a carp had two heads, and one head drooped as if it had the intention of retreating, and the other was very high-spirited and angry. ”
At that moment, it was decided to use this double carp as the symbol of the fleet, and from then on, the fleet of the East 'Gate' Qing was also called the Double Carp Fleet, the Double Carp Caravan or the Double Carp Fleet, and it was called the East 'Gate' Qing Double Carp Ship Master.
However, the word "double carp" on the head of the east 'gate' celebration did not take long, because many people who have seen this flag think that this picture is not a double carp, but a double-headed carp, and gradually everyone 'privately' has changed their mouths, and as the owner of the east 'gate' Qing also has a nickname: double-headed koi.
The Shuangli fleet rested beside this small island for a day, and on the second day, Yang Zhizhong and other old sailors saw that the wind was good, so they finished loading the goods and food, bid farewell to Chenjia Village, set sail, and soon entered the Wudao area.
