"You, you're a pirate?"

Gao Yu and his two subordinates are not stupid, and they know that if the court investigates the murder of Liang and the robbery, then they have to be escorted back to Tokyo for a trial. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, although the third general of the palace is also a high-ranking military attaché, he committed a serious crime and was captured and killed on the spot, which is nothing with the traditional national policy of the Great Song Dynasty. There is no shortage of examples of this before. Even the important generals of the Western Army, who were very independent, were directly killed. What's more, it was directly controlled by the imperial court to kill the generals who were not in trouble at all. But General Huaihua is a military attache of the third grade, and he already belongs to a number of important ministers in the imperial court, almost under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and the family is a noble family in Tokyo, and has always belonged to the watchdog of the loyal emperor.

There is this unreasonable, so, guessing and guessing, the three thieves all guessed that this Mizhou magistrate was only afraid that he was a magistrate of the Great Song Dynasty on the surface, but in fact he was a pirate.

However, when the governor revealed his identity and learned that it was indeed a pirate, Gao Yu and the others still couldn't help but blurt out in horror.

The face of the deputy commander and the marquis of Du Yu turned pale, there was no trace of blood, and his eyes were completely full of despair.

The emperor asked for the sin, there is a master and a high man, no matter how big the sin is, as long as it is not a rebellion, then he will not die. Maybe even the official will not be cut, just demoted and retained. When you avoid the limelight, you will be promoted again, and it will still be a rich day. But if you fall into the hands of pirates, with the pirates' favorite style of killing corrupt officials, there is really no way to live.

But Gao Yu's spirit of splashing became stronger and stronger, and he didn't despair when he had a guess in his heart, he was able to regain his composure quickly, and asked very hardly: "Please tell me directly, what do you want?" ”

The governor of Mizhou saw Gao Yu's look and demeanor in his eyes, and praised it with a smile: "Taiwei is indeed courageous, and he is indeed an understanding person." ”

Gao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he didn't squeak again.

He didn't want to die, the purpose was to seek that glimmer of life in death, and he also heard the chance to live, but he didn't want to provoke the other party to kill him with arrogance and disdain, but he didn't want to wag his tail and beg for mercy and convince the other party to look down on him, so that the two subordinates also looked down on him. In this case, it's best not to say anything and wait for the rest of the story to improvise.

The governor of Mizhou knows that Gao Yu's splash is not so easy to deal with, but he has decided to deal with Gao Yu, and he has his own way, and he doesn't care about Gao Yu's tricks.

"These jailers are all my men. Captain Gao, I might as well tell you the truth in this dungeon, you have survived until now because I have painstakingly interceded with the pirates. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the corpses of General Huaihua and the commander of the two men, "But these two people can't see the situation clearly, so I have to kill them to make the three of you sober up." ”

Gao Yu heard the words and tasted something.

This governor became a member of the pirates, but he distinguished himself from the pirates.

Gao Yu's eyes brightened.

But he didn't get to the bottom of it in this regard, let alone express his gratitude, but asked lightly and directly: "Do you want this official to surrender to the pirates and return to the court to serve in secret?" ”

Without waiting for an answer, he himself directly seemed to be quite loud: "Gao Yu is not talented, but he still understands Entubao." The saint is not thin on Gao. Gao will never betray the saint. ”

Regarding the so-called loyalty and righteousness shown by Gao Yu, Zhizhou did not show praise or mockery and questioning, but laughed heartily.

Gao Yu snorted, "Don't serve, that is, you want the official to take money to redeem his life, right?" ”

"You're just eyeing your official's property."

Zhizhou smiled again, but looked at Gao Yu approvingly and said, "Lord Taiwei is indeed an understanding person. ”

"Actually, I used the reason that Lord Taiwei's family has a lot of money to say that the pirates can only delay for a while, and whether or not they can survive depends on Taiwei himself."

After speaking, he didn't look at Gao Yu's reaction, he took out a roll of paper from the wide sleeves of Zhizhou's robe, unfolded it and looked at it, took out one of them and tore it, handed the other one to Gao Yu, and gave the other two to the jailer, who went into the cell and distributed it to the deputy commander and Du Yuhou, who were radiant with hope.

For the only hope of survival, Gao Yu dared to refuse stubbornly.

When he saw the dim firelight, he couldn't help but be stunned with the depth of his city.

This paper actually listed in detail the gold and silver treasures of his home, jade vases, jewelry, and a long list ....... written. These are not counted, and in the end, it was indicated that it would cost more than 5 million yuan.

There are too many good things marked on it, and they are too detailed and thoughtful, not to mention Gao Yu, who doesn't care about the "money and small things" at home, that is, his wife who is in charge of family affairs and the big housekeeper who keeps the property in the house are afraid that the good things of Gao Mansion are not so accurate and clear. There are a lot of things on this list, and even Gao Yu himself doesn't know that he has them at home.

But Gao Yu knew in his heart that the list on this list would not be wrong, and it was not the pirates who deliberately blackmailed him like this.

Because none of his favorite treasures that he often plays with or admires in the secret room are on it, and he has a rough idea of how much money he has at home, which should be this number.

Pirates are ruthless!

This is to extort all the wealth he has worked so hard to loot for so many years after his meteoric prosperity.

But Gao Yu didn't pay attention to this, but secretly thought in horror: "Could it be that there are spies in my house who are planted by pirates to become my cronies?" Or my great butler fornicating with pirates? ”

He secretly thought about it, made up his mind, and decided that if he could go home alive, he would definitely check his family well, otherwise how could he feel at ease with the sharp knife on his back.

The list of deputy commanders and Du Yuhou is much shorter.

The two officials are not big enough, and the power is not heavy enough, and the good things they catch are naturally far from being comparable to Gao Taiwei. That's it, they know it themselves.

The quality and value of most of the good things are not as good as the Taiwei family, if they are in the Gao Yu family, they belong to the Gao Mansion housekeeper who is too lazy to take a look at it, and they take it casually, but in the two of them, each one is a family heirloom treasure.

The two, like Gao Yu, were also surprised by the clarity and accuracy of the list, and couldn't help but suspect that there were ghosts in the family.

In fact, they think badly.

The Gao family does have pirate spies, but the spies don't care about the treasures in the house, they pay attention to Gao Yu's important private information, and they don't care about general intelligence at all, and rarely make a move.

The list can be so detailed, and that is the credit of the thief.

The fleas on the drum are waiting in Tokyo.

He was taught by Zhao Yue, and his light skills are more skillful, and now his ability to fight has gradually been practiced, usually lurking in Tokyo, responsible for monitoring key figures in Tokyo at the same time, Shi Qian likes to also habitually check the wealth of each family by the way, not stealing, but he is addicted to it, practicing the old business of eating, so he has a clear heart for each family.

Zhao Yue blackmailed Cai Jing, and the ransom he asked for was also based on the information provided by Shi Qian.

As a result, Lao Cai tried every means to scrape off the wealth that he had been greedy for so many years, and he almost didn't feel sorry for Lao Cai.

Gao Yu was also extremely distressed about the wealth he wanted to hand over, but he accepted the blackmail very shamefully, and only sneered and asked: "You have a good idea, you want to coax me to hand over the family property first and then kill me." ”

Mizhou Zhizhou smiled and said, "Taiwei doesn't need to be tempted." You should know that pirates, like the captain, are principled and faithful. ”

Of course, if you don't believe it, you don't want to pay the ransom, what you want to do, it's all up to you. Please think about it carefully. Just a reminder that I would have to leave at any time. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Gao Yu's "and slow".

Zhizhou slowly turned around and looked at Gao Yu quietly.

Gao Yu sighed: "Yes, I don't have a choice, I have to believe if I don't believe it." You've made up your mind. ”

Obviously, if you don't agree, you will definitely die. If you agree, it will be possible to exchange for a glimmer of life.

He didn't want to die, so he could only agree.

And, when it comes to choosing between life and money, it's not hard to choose. What is the money?

The money is gone, the treasures are gone, as long as the person is there, with the relationship between him and the emperor, the power will be there, and the power is afraid that he will not be able to get satisfaction?

But if the people are gone. What's the use of more money?

He is a tall man and has no children to inherit the family business. His father and mother passed away, he was the second in the family, and his only eldest brother died a long time ago, and he had no heirs to inherit it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to pick a strong one from other brothers' families to succeed him as a son to inherit his incense, and he would also die. When he dies again, the property in the family is nothing more than cheap, and I don't know who I will run away with, and none of the Gao family members are brothers.

In addition, judging by pirate smuggling and some ways of acting, pirates do talk about trustworthiness.

Gao Yu felt that the pirate and him were actually all the way.

They are not good people, but they are all clear about grievances and grievances, and they all have principles of faith, righteousness, and principles, and they all have reasons to be able to treat bad people as righteous and upright.

So it's worth taking a gamble and believing it.

Zhizhou smiled again, nodded slightly, and said, "Taiwei is a happy person." I can afford to take it, I can put it down, and I have the courage to get great wealth. ”

"Now I might as well tell the Captain. There is only so much I can do. If the lieutenant had just refused directly. Well, the pirates will not hesitate to execute you immediately. ”

"The Captain should know that a few million guan is not a small number. But it doesn't matter to pirates. ”

"They have destroyed countless small nations. And those small countries are barbaric and ignorant, but there are many gold and silver treasures. The pirates have robbed so many places, and it's not bad for money at all. They are in a hurry now, and they don't want to waste their minds and waste time in other areas. ”

Gao Yu heard the meaning of the words, nodded, his face showed gratitude, and he hugged his fists and thanked: "Gao knows what the adults are thinking about persuading the pirates. ”

"It's just...... Please forgive Gao for taking the liberty of asking, adults can become high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty at such a young age, and the future is visible, why do you want to join the pirates of overseas wild islands, why do you want to save Gao? ”

When the young Zhizhou heard this, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he was silent for a moment before lowering his voice and said: "The soldiers are coming to the city, and the parents, wives and children are robbed, what can you do if you don't surrender?" ”

Of course, he wouldn't tell Gao Yu that he had been from Cangzhao more than ten years ago, and he had met the young Zhao Gonglian when he first entered Beijing to present the dictionary.

At that time, his family of five had ten acres of thin fields.

He has been smart since he was a child, and he is the material for reading.

In order for him to go to school and take the imperial examination, his parents worked hard in the fields. The elder brother, who had reached the age of marriage, did not marry, and worked for the landlord's family to earn money to support him in his education, without complaint or regret.

And that's not all.

In order to raise money for tuition, his parents sold the land, and had to ruthlessly sell his ten-year-old eldest sister to the landlord's family in the village as a maid.

Later, the seven-year-old little sister also had to be sold to the Qinglou for money for him to catch the exam.

He provided for his eldest brother to study without marrying, and he was already very guilty in his heart, and he studied hard, hoping to make up for his eldest brother in the Jinshi exam as soon as possible. The eldest brother is not too delayed in getting married a few years later, and the conditions are good, he can marry a good family in a decent manner, and he doesn't have to worry about having no money to study when he has children.

When he sold his eldest sister, he was out of the exam, but he couldn't stop it, and he blamed himself so much that he couldn't do it, but he was powerless to save anything.

I can only continue to study harder. I hope that one day I can redeem my eldest sister and compensate for it.

When selling his little sister, he was at home preparing to travel to catch the exam, but he was able to resolutely stop it.

He would rather give up his dream of becoming an official in the imperial examination, and never exchange his little sister's devastating sacrifice for wealth and glory, otherwise what is the point of being a man?

That day, the little sister who was not very sensible hugged her mother's leg and cried to death, so frightened that she couldn't do it, and begged her father and mother not to let that terrible stranger (human trafficker) take her away, and repeatedly said that she must be obedient, never eat better, no more beautiful clothes, no more playful, and must work hard to help her father and mother work.......

His heart was like a knife, and at that time he suddenly thought hatefully: Is the Great Song Dynasty really that good? Is it really the best world for readers? In this kind of social situation, once a scholar from the same background as me becomes an official, how can he not be greedy? Don't be greedy, let the parents and relatives who have paid everything live a better and more decent life from now on, how can the conscience be at ease? But if you are greedy, how can you be worthy of the people who pay taxes with the same bitterness when you become a bad official? How should I be an official? What is the way out? Where is there a way out that really belongs to the poor......

Fortunately, Zhao Gonglian, who happened to enter Beijing, passed by, and it was really a benevolent and courageous Cangzhao person, and it was really a generation of geniuses of Tianjiao, who immediately stepped forward to ask about the situation, and immediately paid money to prevent the tragedy from happening, and immediately went to the landlord's house to redeem the eldest sister and the children who were also sold at a high price, and arranged for the accompanying people to recruit people who were willing to go to Cangzhou to do things at his house and send them to ensure that they lived for free, children went to school for free, and that they could save money without worrying about food and clothing.

Because it was difficult to transfer to another school at that time, he could only stay in his hometown. My father and mother were not at ease, so they stayed to take care of him, and they couldn't go to Cangzhou. The eldest brother took the two younger sisters there. The eldest brother learns while working. The two sisters are all free, just go to school in Zhaozhuang.

The eldest brother soon married. Moreover, the family here also has money, so they no longer have to worry about studying.

He and Zhao Gonglian also became the most intimate friends in the air, and learned practical knowledge from Cangzhao.

Later, he naturally became a secret Zhao person, swore to follow, and was successfully admitted to the Jinshi from his hometown, and after Zhao Gonglian became the emperor's secretary, he quietly and secretly helped him, an honest and daring good official, to be promoted quickly......

Now, although his eldest brother is not smart enough, he is diligent and solid, and he is in charge of Zhao Yue's overseas family, needless to say.

Although they were not rich and wealthy in the pirate empire, they were both excellent teachers, and they married a good husband, and they lived a happy and happy life. My father and mother are still alive, and I spend my old age happily all day long. His three children also go to school there. His own future in the Pirate Empire is even greater, so why should he not be loyal to the Pirate Empire?

He had told himself countless times that the great cause of the empire, which was only for the children of the poor to study with peace of mind, required him to die, and he did not hesitate.
