Dai Zong wanted to say something, but Li Jiqian stopped him and said, "Just according to the price that Brother Xu said." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Brother Xu said; "This big brother is happy when he sees it. That's it. Then he beckoned the man to start moving the wine.

The guys were also quick, and in a short time all the wine was put on the same cart, and it was covered with rice. And the smell is so good that you can't smell it at all. Even if Dai was unwilling, since Li Jiqian had spoken, he could only pay the bills with money. Brother Xu collected the money and asked a guy to follow them to Li Jiqian's place with a cart.

Just as they came out, Dai Zong pointed to the person who had just passed by them and said, "This person should also come to buy wine, I have seen him here before." But he couldn't buy it today. As he spoke, the man seemed to look back at them. But Dai Zong didn't care.

On the way, Dai Zong still felt unwilling, he avoided Brother Xu's buddy, and quietly said to Li Jiqian: "Brother Li, why didn't you let me continue to bargain when the price of the surnamed Xu increased?" ”

Li Jiqian said: "Dai Zong, first of all, isn't it normal to adjust the price according to the market situation? People also said that the wine is not sold at all these days, and your counteroffer is not of much use, so it is a waste of time. ”

"Second, I listen to you, you don't actually have much friendship with this surnamed Xu, it's just the relationship between the person who sells the wine and the person who buys the wine, and there is no need for people to sell your face, so the counteroffer is still definitely a waste of time."

"Third," said the third point, Li Jiqian lowered his voice and said: "We are pirates with a criminal record, although we don't go ashore much, and most of them don't have any conflicts with the people here, and most of them don't know us, but we are in a different place, so it's better to be careful." ”

Dai Zong listened to Li Jiqian's words and agreed that what he said made sense, but he still muttered: "Brother Li, you analyze things as the head and the way, but why can't you put it on yourself?" How dangerous it is to go to Pingjiang, why do you have to go? ”

Li Jiqian listened to Dai Zong's words, stretched out his hand and patted his head, and said, "What about you, what are you talking about me." And the reason why I'm going to Pingjiang is not the same as yours, don't compare blindly. ”

The group pushed the cart out of the bazaar, and sure enough, all the servants were at home for the New Year today, and none of them were inspected here. There are also people who set off firecrackers, which can be heard from a distance, and suddenly the whole environment is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.

Li Jiqian was walking while talking to Dai Zong. However, just when they were about to arrive at the place where Daming had specially prepared for them to live for those vassal merchants who came to Daming to do business, another person suddenly said: "Brother Li, look at the person in front of you, does it seem like he is waiting for us?" ”

Li Jiqian looked forward when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw a person standing at the gate of this very large place, as if he was waiting for someone.

Li Jiqian said: "It should be waiting for someone." But it doesn't have to be someone waiting for us, right? It's impossible, we don't know anyone, why is he waiting for us? Even if you talk about business, you don't come to talk about it during the New Year. ”

But as the group got closer and closer to the place where they lived, the man took the initiative to meet them. Li Jiqian said suspiciously: "Are you really waiting for us?" ”

As he spoke, the man was already standing in front of them, and the man with the cart stopped.

At this time, Dai Zong said: "Aren't you the one who went to the person surnamed Xu just now to buy things!" ”

The man said, "Yes, I also went there to buy wine." But when I went, Old Man Xu said that the wine had been sold out, and it was not available today. ”

"I remembered that I had just been there, and I saw you when I walked in. I've seen you before, and I know you're there too, so I guessed that you bought the last bit of wine. So I came to you and wanted you to give me half of the wine, and I would give you the price, no, double the price. His last sentence should have been in an inquiring tone, but he said it in a very affirmative, unquestioning tone.

If he spoke well, maybe Li Jiqian would agree to share half of his wine, but if he spoke so arrogantly, Li Jiqian would be unhappy, and he raised his head and wanted to talk back.

But Li Jiqian suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with this person's right eye, and then looked closely and found that his right eye seemed to be blind. Li Jiqian immediately said: "Is your right eye ......?" ”

The man said calmly, "I can't see with my right eye. ”

This person is the one-eyed wolf who was with Xiao Zhuo. He is also a person who loves to drink, and he often comes out to buy wine on weekdays, so he knows that Lao Xu Tou is selling wine. He also has no alcohol and no joy, as long as it is not a major occasion, he is drinking, even if he has to be a guard that day.

At first, the rest of the people didn't like him, but once he drank alcohol to protect the guards, and after he first discovered that someone was ambushing them, everyone didn't dare to have an opinion.

Li Jiqian saw that the one-eyed wolf was blind in one eye, and it was estimated that he was injured when the rivers and lakes were fighting, so he didn't want to deal with him, and said: "Look at you like this, I will share your twenty bamboo tubes of wine, and I don't want the money." ”

But the one-eyed wolf said, "Twenty bamboo tubes, less than half of the wine you bought, right?" ”

Li Jiqian replied: "Yes, no." ”

The one-eyed wolf said, "I don't need you to send it, I'll give you the money, but I want half of the wine." ”

At this time, Dai Zong couldn't help it and said, "Why are you like this!" Our eldest brother sees that you are also a good drinker, and he kindly divided you with twenty bamboo tubes, but you have to make inches, you can't be bullied by us? ”

Li Jiqian hurriedly stopped Dai Zong and said, "Shut up." But Li Jiqian's heart also felt that what Dai Zong said made sense, and said: "My brother speaks straight, but the truth is such a truth. Brother Tai insisted on asking us for half of the wine, isn't it inappropriate? ”

The one-eyed wolf said, "Then you are stubborn and unwilling to hand over half of the wine?" ”

Li Jiqian was also stimulated and said, "So what? ”

The one-eyed wolf said: "In this case, I see that you have also practiced martial arts, let's compete, if I win, you will share half of me, and I will give you money according to the price; If I lose, I'll turn around and leave. What do you think? ”

Li Jiqian is also brave and ruthless, today he consciously endures and endures, and if he endures it again, he will be a turtle with a shrunken head, so he said: "Good, better than what." ”

The one-eyed wolf said: "It's just a fight for some wine, my wine is gone, I just want to find wine to drink, so don't use weapons, everyone use fists and feet to compare, point to the end, how?" ”

In fact, the reason why the one-eyed wolf made such a suggestion is mainly because in this place, if there is really a human life, it will be very troublesome, especially if he has to kill all four people, it must be a big case. Although the one-eyed wolf did something to hurt people's lives by drinking, he didn't want to cause too much trouble. And he is now Xiao Zhuo's buddy, Xiao Zhuo treats him well, and it is not good to interfere with other people's business.

Li Jiqian was challenged to come to the door, so naturally he couldn't admit it, and said: "Okay, that's it." Then he put down what he was holding and began to prepare for a fight.

The one-eyed wolf also struck a pose, ready to fight. Not far away, the sound of firecrackers rumbled, as if it was the background sound of the stage.

After both sides were ready, they both pounced and fought. Both of them are very skillful in fists and feet, and it is difficult to distinguish them for a while.

But at this moment, a lot of people came out from the place behind them, that is, from the place where the merchants of the vassal kingdom lived. Although it was not yet dark, the men were all holding torches and seemed to be ready to light them at any moment.

The two immediately stopped fighting. They don't have a grudge, although the one-eyed wolf likes to drink very much, and can do things that hurt people's lives for the sake of alcohol, but he also doesn't want to be seen by many people fighting with him. I was going to wait until they were all gone.

But at this time, Li Jiqian, who was opposite, said: "It's little sister, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Sha'er walked up to him with a torch and said, "Big brother, so you're here?" Why don't you hurry back? ”

It turned out that Li Sha'er had been waiting at home for a while, and seeing that it was almost dark, Li Jiqian had not come back yet, so she became worried. She talked about it with other people, and the others were also a little worried, after all, Li Jiqian was a person on the wanted list, so everyone divided half of the people out to take a look, and was ready to escape at any time if they were exposed.

Li Jiqian understood the reason for his expression, and immediately told his sister the reason why he was here. Then he raised his head and said to the one-eyed wolf, "This brother whose name I don't know, you don't think you can take half of the wine." Well, you ......"

The one-eyed wolf knew that there was no play as soon as he saw this posture, although he thought he was strong in martial arts, but he was not a person who could fight a group of people, and he turned around to leave.

But just then, another group of people came out of it, waited for a while at the gate of the place where the merchants of the vassal kingdom lived, and walked towards the location of the one-eyed wolf.

The one-eyed wolf narrowed his good eyes, looked at the person who came, and then found that it was Xiao Zhuo who hit the head. It turned out that Xiao Zhuo also saw that the one-eyed wolf was not there, so he ordered a lot of brothers to come out to look for it to see if he was drunk on the road, but he didn't expect to see the one-eyed wolf at the door.

Xiao Zhuo asked the reason for the matter, and said to the one-eyed wolf: "If you are short of alcohol to drink, and there is still wine in the store, just talk to me, why fight with others for this matter." ”

The one-eyed wolf was naturally not very convinced, but because Xiao Zhuo was good to him, he could only keep quiet.

At this time, Li Jiqian said to Xiao Zhuo again: "This brother, since it's just such a trivial matter, how about they disperse?" ”

Xiao Zhuo also felt that it was no good to continue to confront each other here, and there was no major contradiction between the two sides, and he was about to say a few words, when at this moment, a voice came from behind Xiao Zhuo and the others: "Your people have sinned against us like this, so they want to leave like this?" ”

Xiao Zhuo immediately looked back, wondering who was talking. At the same time, you have to open your mouth to explain.

But Li Jiqian reacted quickly, in particular, he was not a serious businessman, they were all pirates, so Li Jiqian immediately changed his face and said: "What, Your Excellency wants to bully us with many people?" Although we have few people, we are not easy to bully. Everyone doesn't have any big hatred, so why be so aggressive! "After all, they only have one shop, and the other party has sixteen shops, and even a few random orders are more than half of them.

Xiao Zhuo was about to open his mouth to explain, but someone behind him said: "We are bullying you with more people, what's the matter!" ”

Xiao Zhuo found out who was talking this time, and immediately knocked this person unconscious with three punches and two kicks, and then said to Li Jiqian: "This brother, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Those two sentences just now must have been said by my opponent's undercover agent who was ambushed in my house, and we are willing to retreat. But at this time, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers, and Xiao Zhuo was afraid that Li Jiqian and they didn't hear it, so he said it again.

But how could Li Jiqian believe his words! Li Jiqian sneered: "What? Fortunately, people ambushed an undercover agent in your house, and it was exposed for this thing that may not be able to fight? Are you stupid for me? ”

Xiao Zhuo also knew that the other party would not believe his words, after all, this was too bizarre, and no one would believe it. However, Xiao Zhuo still said: "One-eyed wolf, whether you believe my words or not, but we have more people than you, you will never take the initiative to provoke a fight, right?" In that case, why not take what just happened as a misunderstanding and believe what I said? ”

The one-eyed wolf also knows that there are few of them, so the other party's behavior can't be explained, even if he wants to crush them, he won't hit himself in the face.

At this time, their people had already recognized Xiao Zhuo's people on the other side. There's no way, their business alliance accounts for more than half of the silk and raw silk stores, and everyone is paying attention to it.

It would be even more inexplicable, they obviously wanted to do business here for a long time, so they would not take the initiative to provoke a group fight.

So Li Jiqian thought about it and felt that the person who might be ambushing Xiao Zhuo and them as an undercover agent was really brain-pumping, so he said, "Okay, then you go back first." ”

Xiao Zhuo had no intention of continuing the confrontation, and retreated as he said.

Li Jiqian breathed a sigh of relief. But at this moment, a group of people came from the side, there were quite a few people, and looking at their clothes, although it was already dark, they could be seen as if they were from the government.

Then one person came out of this group, looking at the clothes, it was a miscellaneous official who had not entered the stream. The man came up to him and said, "What's the matter with you? ”

Xiao Zhuo replied: "My lord, we have nothing to do, it's just that everyone went out to buy New Year's goods, and unfortunately they ran into it here." I don't know them. ”

The unsuspecting official asked, "It's all a lie, you've been here for a while, and I look like you're going to fight, and it's a coincidence in your mouth." ”

Xiao Zhuo said: "What I said is the truth, my lord! As for the fact that we've been here longer, it's mainly because some of our drunk people accidentally bumped into someone over there, so we had a few arguments, but we didn't want to fight. ”

"My lord, it's the New Year, who would fight on such a day?"

The uninvetted official seemed to be somewhat convinced, but he still said, "Each of you has a leader, and follow me to Lord Tiju to discern it." ”

At this time, Li Jiqian, who had not spoken just now, suddenly felt that he had figured out the reason for today's incident: that is, the government of the Ming Kingdom wanted to arrest their gang!

Someone probably recognized him at the market this afternoon, so he immediately went to report it to the government. Even if the government is sealed, but I heard that the promotion of the Shanghai City Boss is a very serious and responsible official, and when he hears that there are pirates here, he is still a pirate on the wanted list, and he definitely wants to arrest him. Capturing him is more useful than capturing a thousand of those nameless pirates, and it is a great achievement.

However, during the Chinese New Year, the army was not easy to mobilize, and many soldiers could not be assembled for a while, so they could not form a tight encirclement network, and they were not sure that they would be able to catch him if they were not sure that they would be able to catch him by force.

So set up such a game to get yourself in. First of all, it was very abnormal for someone to wait at the door for them to drink, and they were not satisfied with giving one-third of it; Then a group of people came over and asked what the cause of this incident was, and then pretended that there seemed to be an undercover agent among them, but in fact, it was because the people from the government had not yet arrived, so they were all thinking about delaying time, right?

Xiao Zhuo wanted to do business here for a long time, although it was not his intention to arrest him, but he did not dare to offend the government of the Ming Kingdom, so he could only cooperate.

Now that I think about it, in fact, if my own people didn't come out, presumably Xiao Zhuo would have forcibly arrested people with their many people just now. There were only three of them in total, and they couldn't resist anything.

But Xiao Zhuo saw that there were a lot of people coming, so he was unwilling to sacrifice his own people in order to cooperate with the government. As for sending the soldiers of the government to his subordinates to disguise the guards, those of them who have been pirates for a long time can tell at a glance whether they are officers or soldiers, and it is definitely impossible to see a bunch of officers and soldiers still waiting here stupidly. The government must have known about it, so it didn't do so.

So in the end, the government sent an official who was not in the stream over, wanting to fool himself into following them alone, and Xiao Zhuo also cooperated on the side. If he hadn't been vigilant and waited for him to be alone, someone would have come up and grabbed him. As for his men, it's nothing if they all run away, and it's a great achievement to catch one of them. Not to mention that most of them will definitely be caught.

And another point, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, most people will let their guard down today and will not be so vigilant. And now there are a lot of people who set off firecrackers, and there are also a lot of people who set off fireworks, and it is easy to ignore them by using fireworks to notify the people who stay at the port of the ship, or the people who stay behind the ships to notify them with fireworks.

In fact, Li Jiqian's reasoning is still problematic, but Li Jiqian, who has already drilled the horns, ignores these problems.

Li Jiqian's calculation was decided, and he gestured to the people around him. The people around him were taken aback when they saw his gesture, but finally they had been adrift on the sea all the year round, and they still had the basic qualities, so they didn't speak, they just gestured to each other to tell everyone about it, and all of them were ready to do what they had to do.

Li Jiqian made a few gestures, and then pretended to come out, wanting to follow the appearance of this official who had not entered the stream. Xiao Zhuo really came out and wanted to follow the official.

The official who had not yet entered the stream also turned around and said, "You follow me and go to Lord Tiju." ”

But he hadn't taken a few steps before he heard hurried footsteps from the side behind him. Although the sound of firecrackers was loud not far away, he had a good ear and heard it. But as soon as he turned around and wanted to say something, he felt that his neck was being clamped, and he couldn't breathe. He reached out to stretch out the arm around his neck, but to no avail.

Xiao Zhuo was also taken aback, and suddenly put on a defensive posture.

Li Jiqian ignored him and looked back at his own people. Immediately, one of their people lit fireworks to inform the rest of them.

They are the people who followed Zhang Shicheng back then, and they know several fireworks configuration methods that the people don't know, which makes their fireworks unique, as long as they are carefully distinguished, they can still be distinguished.

Li Jiqian can only pray that the other two passers-by can tell the difference. Those who stay in a place specially prepared for the merchants of the feudal kingdom should be more wary, but those who stay on the ship may not.

All Li Jiqian's men also took out knives or bows and arrows. Li Jiqian held the unentered official hostage to join his own people, and then fled to the port by the river. If only they could get on the ship smoothly, or if they could take a boat, most people would be able to escape; If they couldn't get off the boat, they could only disperse and break through, swim to Chongming Island, find their small boat hidden in the reeds on Chongming Island, and escape.

Xiao Zhuo was a little at a loss: Are they going to kill officials and rebel? Isn't it, is it?

Xiao Zhuo said: "This brother, let's distinguish this little thing in front of the lifting adult, at most a little fine, it's not a big deal." But if you kill an official and rebel, it's different. If you don't want to pay, I'll pay all the fines. ”

Li Jiqian glanced at him and thought to himself: "I'm still trying my best to fool around!" ’

However, Li Jiqian did not speak. He now had to save every ounce of effort, even if it was just a matter of words.

Li Jiqian joined his own people, and then saw that from the place where they stayed and stayed for the merchants of the feudal kingdom, the place assigned to them also released the same fireworks as the fireworks they had just lit.

Li Jiqian said in a low voice: "Go and meet them!" Then the group ran behind the wall where they were. Not long after they moved here, they had already figured out the terrain and the deployment of the officers and soldiers, and they had a plan for where to run, and now they were running to that planned place.

Xiao Zhuo and his people didn't know what was going on at all, so they didn't dare to move, they stayed where they were, and Xiao Zhuo just went back and got together with his own people, because they were afraid that the government would mistakenly think that they also wanted to kill the officials and rebel, so they didn't dare to move.

===========================================================

Not far away, Zhang Yanfang was already stunned, he never thought that a normal asking would turn out like this.
