At the gate, a catcher with several officials was checking the corpse, and next to him stood a military general wearing a hundred household official uniforms. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Huang Yuansheng recognized this head catcher, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Wang head catcher, you are here in person, hard work, hard work." ”

That Wang Zhutou knew the relationship between Huang Yuansheng and the prefect Wu Tingyun, and he didn't put on any show, and directly returned the salute: "Boss Huang has an accident here, how dare you be careless, lead people to hurry over, the thief has been repulsed, fortunately, Boss Huang has nothing to lose." ”

Sun Tianhao stood behind and sneered in his heart: "This is cheap, is that what you repelled." ”

Huang Yuansheng turned around and saluted the hundred households next to him: "Huang also thanks the adults for coming to the rescue in the next family." Dare to ask the adult's surname? ”

The hundred households were also polite: "Don't dare." A certain surname is Zhang. My lord Zhang heard that there were bandits making trouble, so he sent me to take a look, and it is also our duty to protect the territory and the people. ”

"Your Excellency is gracious." Huang Yuansheng finished politely and turned around again; "Someone's coming."

A family member next to him handed over 2 small packages, and Huang Yuansheng said: "It's a small meaning, it's not a respect, the two adults must give Huang this face." ”

"Boss Huang is polite."

Everyone was greeting, and Jiang Beiming and Zhang Hai came over from afar. Zhang Baihu saw that Jiang Beiming was also wearing a hundred-household uniform, which was a little strange, so he arched his hand and asked, "This adult, but he is also my hundred-household in Hainanwei?" ”

Jiang Beiming returned the salute: "Exactly." Jiang Beiming, one hundred households in Xiaya Prefecture, came here on business, and I was friends with Boss Huang. happened to encounter an attack on Boss Huang's house, so he took a hand and did a small favor. ”

When Zhang Baihu heard Jiang Beiming say this, he couldn't help but look Jiang Beiming up and down: "You killed all these people?" ”

Jiang Beiming heard what Zhang Baihu meant, and smiled: "It's serious, these are naturally the credit of adults, I just helped." ”

"Hahahaha." Zhang Baihu laughed loudly, "Enough friends, morality." I'm going to make you a friend. ”

When Wang Zhutou heard Zhang Baihu say this, he didn't feel a little anxious: "What about us?" You can't take all the credit. ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Huang Yuansheng came out to play a round, "Wang Zhutou, there are still 2 alive inside, Wang Zhutou can capture thieves alive, and the credit is also great." ”

The people are only talking about the reward for their deeds. Jiang Beiming and the other four traversers sneaked into the courtyard and found a place where no one was.

"How is it, what is the situation with Lu Xing and Gao Pengju?" Sun Tianhao asked eagerly.

"No big deal." Jiang Beiming replied, "Huang Yuansheng is not wrong, they are close to the government office, and someone threw a few torches, and as soon as the government officials came out, they dispersed, and there was no loss." Have you found out anything? Whose people are it this time? ”

"Liu Xiang's." Xu Lang replied, "I didn't ask about the important things, it is estimated that those two people really don't know, but what is certain is that Liu Xiang came to beat us this time." I want to wait for dawn to go to the sugar factory to find Sun Dalei and them to make a good calculation, and it is estimated that the office in this city will not be able to stay. ”

The sky was bright. Zhang Baihu and Wang Zhutou each took the corpse and the prisoner back to receive the reward. Jiang Beiming and the others returned to their hideout, called Hai Fu, and they went out of the city together to the sugar factory.

The smoke outside the sugar factory was not exhausted, and a team of officers and soldiers and a group of officials were looking at something. Seeing Jiang Beiming and a few people coming over, a servant stretched out his hand to block the way: "The official is handling the case, and the idle people must be close." ”

"Who are the idlers?" Zhang Hai was about to get angry, but was stopped by Jiang Beiming on the side, "This official is a hundred households in Yazhou." These are the owners of this sugar mill, not some idle people. ”

The official glanced at Jiang Beiming's military attache clothes, bowed down and saluted: "It turned out to be a hundred adults, and the small ones have eyes and no beads." Since these people are the owners of the sugar factory, the interests and disadvantages of them are naturally understood. In the future, if you see my family, please say a few kind words for the little ones. ”

"Hmph." Zhang Hai snorted in his nose and scolded in his heart, "Dogs look down on people." ”

Sun Tianhao and others were unwilling to delay this trivial matter, so they pulled Zhang Hai into the sugar factory in a hurry. The official shouted to himself in the back: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little one's name is Liu Si, please remember the name of the little one." ”

Sun Dalei and the other traversers were sitting in Sun Tianhao's office, spinning around like ants on a hot nest. Seeing Sun Tianhao and the four people coming in, Sun Dalei hurriedly greeted him: "You guys are here, how about it, is anyone injured?" ”

Sun Tianhao patted his chest: "It's okay, the legs and feet are complete, everything is fine." How is it to you, has anyone been hurt? ”

"None of us were hurt, but last night was a bit of a thriller." Sun Dalei still has some lingering palpitations.

Everyone talked about the situation to each other. After Sun Dalei and the others settled in the sugar factory, on the third watch, nearly 200 people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, armed with knives, guns, bows and crossbows, setting fire to the sugar factory with all their might. There were only 30 guards in the sugar factory, armed with less than 20 flintlock guns. Gradually, the resistance of the convoy became a little difficult. In a hurry, Wei Yang didn't care if anyone objected, the first one stood on the wall with a gun, and moved a few hundred taels of silver from the account room, killed one enemy, and rewarded 10 taels of silver. Spurred on by the silver, all the men who could carry guns and knives stood on the wall, and even some women were not to be outdone, helping to reload bullets and treat the wounded. The two sides were at a stalemate until it was slightly dark, and then the pirates dispersed. The city gate was opened, and the officers and soldiers of Hainan Wei and the officials of the prefect's yamen walked out of the city tremblingly. Seeing that the pirates were gone, the men and horses on both sides rushed to grab the corpses.

"What do we do next? Liu Xiang didn't take advantage of it this time, what if he came again? Tao Shouqing asked.

"I don't think it's very likely that Liu Xiang will come again." Xu Lang suddenly interjected.

"Oh? Why? Tell us what you think. Everyone was surprised by Xu Lang's conclusion.

"It's very simple, he doesn't have the strength anymore." Xu Lang said slowly, "Last time in Yulin Bay, Liu Xiang moved out most of his belongings, but the whole army was wiped out. We didn't bother to inquire about how he and Zheng Zhilong were fighting these days, but it is estimated that they should not take advantage of anything. In this sneak attack last night, judging from the arrangement of troops, Liu Xiang should have worked hard, and we were unprepared. But what was the result, we were basically unscathed, and the number of men and horses he could use was estimated to be only a few hundred, so he didn't dare to fight desperately, and set a few fires and left. Through these two encounters, I think Liu Xiang should understand a truth, in Yulinwan, he can't take advantage of anything. ”

"Your analysis is also somewhat reasonable, but do you mean that you don't need to pay attention to Liu Xiang's movements?" Xia Yang asked.

"No, no. Don't get me wrong. Xu Lang hurriedly explained, "I don't mean not to pay attention to Liu Xiang. Now Liu Xiang is like He Laosan and He Laoliu in the past, coming out from time to time to do it, after all, it is a heart disease. So we still have to do everything we can to try to get rid of him all at once, even if it's a bit difficult. What I want to say is that since our main purpose at the moment is business, money, and army expansion, there is no need to put this matter in the main position, just take your time. ”

"And." Xu Lang continued, "The defense capability of the office in Qiongzhou City is too poor, and I estimate that the fire last night burned about the same, so I suggest that the office be moved to the sugar factory in the future, which is safer here." In addition, when we go back this time, we will also bring Lin Chao and Zhao Zhiruo back, so Tianhao, you go and ask Lu Xing, if he wants, can he also move to the sugar factory, their family is too small, of course, this requires you, the director of the office, to make a final decision. ”

Sun Tianhao was chattering with Sun Dalei and Jiang Beiming, not knowing what to say, when he heard Xu Lang calling him, he quickly raised his head and said, "Brother Xu, let's discuss this later." Chairman Sun Dalei is now announcing an event on behalf of the Committee and the Military Commission. ”

Sun Dalei stood up solemnly and cleared his throat: "Ladies and gentlemen, as a representative of the Yulin Bay Committee, I have just discussed with Major Jiang Beiming, the representative of the Military Commission, and Sun Tianhao, the director of the Qiongzhou Office, and reached an agreement. Now, on behalf of the three parties, I would like to announce a decision, in view of the fact that Wei Yang, a staff member of the Qiongzhou Office, was in danger and had the courage to make a decision in this battle against the pirate attack, the three parties collectively decided that Wei Yang would be rewarded once, and the commendation order would be officially sent from Yulin Bay to the Qiongzhou Office. In addition, the three parties will jointly apply to the Crossing Conference to award Wei Yang a second-class Sun and Moon Medal. ”

Wei Yang was a little at a loss by this sudden news: "Chairman Sun, this, this, I don't know what to say。。。。。。 ”

"Xiao Wei." Sun Dalei changed his words and said half-jokingly, "Don't be too happy too early, it's not certain whether the crossing conference can agree to award you a medal." If you don't pass by then, don't ask me to settle the score. ”

Everyone let out a burst of good-natured laughter, and Wei Yang replied a little crampedly: "How can it, how can it." ”

"Xiao Wei." Xu Lang gave Wei Yang a thumbs up, "You've grown up." ’

"Thank you, Brother Xu." Wei Yang suddenly bowed to Xu Lang solemnly, and then bowed to everyone again and again, "Thank you, Brother Sun, thank you, Brother Zhang, thank you." I, Wei Yang, grew up. ”

Sun Tianhao walked over and helped Wei Yang up: "You have grown up, but this time you promised a few hundred taels of silver to go out, which is generous enough." ”

"Hey, hey." Wei Yang touched his head embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter, I Yulinwan is true to my word, and I will never be bad." Sun Tianhao said magnanimously, "You go and count it, but all those who have merit will be rewarded." Let's let them know that if you follow me Yulin Bay, you will never suffer. ”

The rest of the things to deal with the government, Sun Tianhao entrusted all the things to Huang Yuansheng to do. This matter went back and forth, and finally became Wu Tingyun, the prefect of Qiongzhou, and Zhang Shiying, the commander of Hainan Wei, with one article and one martial art, strategizing, luring the enemy to go deeper, and completely annihilating the attacking enemy, beheading a total of 58 pieces, and capturing 5 pirates alive. The first cadre and the captivator were escorted by special personnel and reported to the Yamen of the Governor of Guangzhou. Sun Tianhao and the others didn't bother to take care of these things, but Zhang Baihu, who was at the gate of Huang Yuansheng's mansion, came to invite Jiang Beiming to drink a few times.

Ten days later, the God appeared at the Qiongzhou dock again.

When Wang Zhaoxing walked off the ship with a cage of pigeons, the traversers of the Qiongzhou office who greeted him on the dock were stunned. Zhang Hai stared at the cage in Wang Zhaoxing's hand for a long time: "Captain Wang, what do you mean?" Do you want to give us a pigeon stew to eat? ”

"Stewed pigeon? What do you think, can you afford to eat this pigeon? After Wang Zhaoxing finished speaking, he asked strangely, "Sun Dalei, didn't they tell you?" ”

"No, what do you say? Could it be this," Wei Yang suddenly seemed to understand a little, "Could it be a carrier pigeon?" ”

"Hehe, little ghost, you're getting smarter." Sun Dalei walked over with a smile, "I really forgot to tell them about this, just thinking about money." But I didn't expect to be able to train so quickly. ”

In view of the extremely poor communication between Qiongzhou Mansion and Yulin Bay, carrier pigeons have been cultivated in Yulin Bay in recent months. This time, Wang Zhaoxing brought ten carrier pigeons that had just been cultivated and trained as a means of communication.
