The writing on the arrow book is very ugly, twisted and twisted like a child's graffiti, but the basic meaning is still expressed, the time, place, quantity and type of goods are very clear, especially indicated: if you do not pay the ransom on time and on the place and vainly try to save people by force, once you find it, you will tear up the ticket immediately!

The letter reached Yu Buxi's hand, he was the deputy of the caravan and the professional prisoner, so he naturally counted the list of belongings and asked for money, and said in surprise: "If you give it all according to the order, it will be half a shipload of goods!" ”

"Ahh So much! Zhang Yisheng shouted: "Could it be that we have committed the Dragon King's rebellion when we go to sea this time, and we have to send this half of the cargo out no matter what?" It wasn't in Chen Wu's hands last time, but this time it's going to be given to these masked pirates! ”

Several directors looked at each other after hearing this, and they all felt the same way, and they all thought: "This time I went to sea, most of the time I didn't pick the right day, otherwise how could there be so many things?" Dongmen Qing was moved in his heart when he listened: "Is it really such a coincidence? ”

Zhang Changyi asked Yang Zhizhong: "Brother, what do you think should be done about this?" ”

"This ......" Yang Zhizhong said: "Yixingxian's nephew is realized this time to cover his companions, and it is not the same as the foolish nonsense last time!" I mean...... No one can fail to save. ”

When several directors heard this, they said, "Yes, yes." ”

Zhang Changyi also sighed: "What my brother said is right, you can't help it, you can't save it!" ”

"It's just that they want too much!" Yu Buqi rolled his eyes and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if this ransom is all paid by the owner, I am afraid that the Zhang family will collapse even if it does not go bankrupt!" Everyone is in the same breath, the Zhang family is sluggish, and everyone is afraid that it will also be damaged. This time Yixing fell because of official business, you have been with the owner for a long time, and now you are in the same boat, can you help together to make a difference? ”

Several directors were embarrassed when they heard this, Zhang Changyi looked at everyone's expressions, and said busily: "If something happens to the children of the Zhang family, how can you make the directors bankrupt?" I'll take care of this, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Yu Buzhi said: "But ......"

Zhang Changyi waved his hand and said, "Okay, what you mean, I understand." But I've made up my mind, so don't say any more. He also said, "It is expected that this calamity will happen to me, and if I do not do it again this time, the next calamity will be even greater." Some people have wealth, money is a foreign thing, and they can make it again if they are gone, and they can't buy it back if they are gone. ”

Yu Buqi and He Wuxing couldn't help but be gloomy when they heard it, they knew that if Zhang Changyi independently undertook the ransom, Guangchangping was only afraid that the future would be worrying!

Yang Zhizhong said: "Brother, I ......"

Zhang Changyi shook his head and said, "Let's disperse." The ransom time stipulated in this epistle is near, and I have to make arrangements to see how the ransom will be paid. Everyone should take precautions on the shore of the ship to avoid further sneak attacks. He summoned Yu Buqi, He Wuxing, Zhang Yisheng, and Dongmen Qing to discuss the main cabin of the ship.

After entering the cabin, He Wuxing and Zhang Yisheng were both indignant, and Zhang Yisheng shouted: "They can make a fortune, and they don't rely on their uncle!" Now I want to get out of everything I want! ”

"What's the use of talking about that now?" Zhang Changyi said: "Now the situation is already unstable, if we provoke their dissatisfaction again, we will have to start chaos within ourselves!" You're not young, and it's not your first time going to sea, don't you even understand this bit of human sophistication? ”

Zhang Yisheng said: "But if we really bear the ransom alone, then even if we go back to Guangdong to deliver the goods, I'm afraid we will have to lose money!" ”

"That can't be helped." Zhang Changyi said: "Even if you lose to the end, as long as you keep the guaranteed salary of the guys, you have to rescue Yixing." Yisheng, you will not quit counting the goods, sorting them out and preparing to send them. The bandits wanted mostly coral, gold, pearls, fine spices, and so on, and we were afraid that we would not be able to get them together, so we had to exchange some other goods with a few other directors. This matter is urgent, so go out and do it. Dauntless and Prince Wang stayed, and we discussed how to hand over the ransom. ”

At that moment, Zhang Yisheng and Yu Buqi went to count the goods first, followed He Wuxing to arrange the ship and pick the hand, and when there were only two people left in the cabin, Zhang Changyi saw Dongmen Qingzheng pondering with the arrow book, so he asked: "Wang Gongzi, can you see what the doorway is?" ”

Dongmen Qing picked up his pen and wrote: "There are three strange things in this letter. ”

Zhang Changyi asked: "Which three monsters?" ”

Dongmen Qing wrote: "The quantity of goods seems to be too much of a coincidence. ”

Zhang Changyi nodded and said, "Yes, that's just the amount I can take out, and any more will really not work." Is this really a coincidence? Hehe, although I believe in luck, I don't believe blindly. ”

Dongmen Qing wrote again: "The types of goods are too detailed. ”

Zhang Changyi's expression darkened when he saw these eight words, and he sighed: "Yes! They didn't directly ask for 'a few taels of silver', but pointed out that they wanted goods, and those that were rough and difficult to transport and of low value were not mentioned! It was as if the robbers knew what was on our ship and what was valuable. Alas, alas, alas—" He sighed three times in a row.

Dongmenqing finally wrote: "Although the words are twisted, there is a law between the words!" ”

"Yes, the person who wrote this letter should not have used a forehand! His words shouldn't be like this......" Speaking of this, Zhang Changyi couldn't help but stroke his forehead and sighed: "He tried every possible way to hide himself, worried that we knew that he was related to this matter, but he was still snooped on by Wang Gongzi!" Wang Gongzi is so young, he has such eyesight, and he is so admirable! ”

Zhang Changyi didn't know that Dongmen Qing could think of this, in addition to his intelligence, it also had a lot to do with Dongmen's family studies! The Dongmen family has controlled the government of Quanzhou for many years, relying on the grasp of the subtleties of people's hearts and human nature, and the excavation of various details hidden in the documents is a necessary ability to become a treacherous and fierce official! It can also be said to be one of the mastery of the East Gate family!

Zhang Changyi said again: "Although I think this is likely to be the case, I still hope that I am wrong!" I hope I'm wrong to blame the good guys! Because I'm afraid that if I really blame the good people and order those bandits to tear up the tickets, then how can I have the face to see my brother after I am in the ground? However, this ransom is related to the pockets of hundreds of people in Guangchangping, and I can't make a mistake because of my own selfish thoughts. Prince Wang, do you have any way to get the best of both worlds? ”

Dongmen Qing thought for a while and wrote: "Send the ransom first." If it is really him, there will be a share of the spoils afterwards! ”

Zhang Changyi groaned: "You mean to do it when they are sharing the spoils?" ”

Dongmenqing nodded, and Zhang Changyi said, "Okay then." I'll let Dauntless send the ransom, and as for the rest of it, it's up to you. ”

The ransom went smoothly, and Yu Buqi filled a small boat with spices, peppers, gold, coral, and other most valuable goods in the whole ship, and sent them by He Wuxing. This small ship of cargo seems to be small in terms of quantity, but the value is extremely high, according to the valuable goods listed on the list, even Zhang Changping could not make up all the goods, so he had to take some dyes and other low-value goods to exchange with Yang Zhizhong and other directors, so that the things could be gathered.

When the boat came back, the things were empty, only one more Zhang Yixing, he burst into tears, and after returning to the boat, he slapped himself repeatedly, saying that he was sorry for everyone. Guang Changping's guys are actually dissatisfied with him in their hearts, but this time he is trapped on duty after all, so it is difficult for everyone to say anything.

Zhang Changyi comforted him for a while and said, "If it doesn't happen, it happens, it's useless to think about it." ”

He Wuxing said: "Owner, I'll order all the people and horses and snatch those goods back!" ”

Zhang Changyi shook his head and said, "It's useless! People have already calculated, and most of them have fled early at this moment. He added: "It's not early, let's rest, and we will send back tomorrow." This island can't stay anymore. ”

Zhang Yixing was already crying and couldn't move, and returned to the cabin with Zhang Yisheng's support, and as soon as he entered the cabin, Zhang Yisheng closed the door and praised: "Big brother! You're really capable, pretending to be like one! ”

Zhang Yixing wiped his tears and said: "If you don't pretend to be like it, how can you deceive that old immortal?" Hum! Crying for this time makes my eyes spicy! ”

Zhang Yisheng said: "But what can I do with that thing? ”

Zhang Yixing said: "Don't worry, I'll get it tonight." Is the space on the Hozhilong ready? ”

"It's early!" Zhang Yisheng said: "That old immortal sold a lot of things cheaply in order to get together gold and coral!" We all know about this, and of course they will help us! That's called Help! ”

"Humph! The old immortal is a good person, and he takes in the mute of unknown origin, and spends money to send people to help those students, and treats our fleet as a good house! Everyone was pressed by him with great reason, although he didn't say anything, but he was very annoyed in his heart! Zhang Yixing smiled: "It's almost time to get the things back now!" Hey! When we return to Guangdong this time, we don't have to look at the old immortal face anymore! ”
