Chapter 518: A swarm of controversy
A swarm of people watched the auction process of the Grass Flying Leader from beginning to end, and when they saw the unconscious Grass Flying Leader and his subordinates being taken away, they felt that the end was coming.
They usually don't deal with people flying on the grass, but at this time they are sympathetic, and the nerves that have been anesthetized with alcohol also feel tingling, and they are all captives, and they will all be auctioned, and a tragic end is also waiting for them.
"Big brother, this is Xiao Qincha's trick, he let us redeem ourselves is not a gift to us, but wants to use this method to squeeze out the wealth that our brothers have accumulated over the years." Second, the one-eyed dragon is unwilling.
The boss of the swarm didn't speak, he had thought countless times that he might be killed by various people in various ways, the only thing he didn't expect was to be auctioned off like a slave. This shame made his heart feel like it was on fire, and his face was distorted from the pain, and he couldn't speak.
"Second brother, so what? Are we reluctant to give up this opportunity to redeem ourselves because we are reluctant to have money? The other leader of the swarm said.
"Yes, everyone has seen the situation just now, no matter how high the price is, there will be people fighting, rather than this, I mean simply give up the opportunity to redeem ourselves, just let Lord Hassan buy us away, it's a big deal to be cannon fodder for King Altan, we may not die, and after surviving the artillery fire, we may be recruited, and then we can still enjoy our own wealth." The one-eyed dragon shook his head.
As soon as this remark came out, the leaders of the swarm immediately began to discuss, and many people agreed with his point of view, feeling sorry for the wealth they had robbed for many years, and were unwilling to hand it all over. They knew that as soon as they took it out, whether the redemption was successful or not, the property would automatically belong to them, and the leader of the grass flying was a tragic example.
Everyone was discussing, but one of the leaders sneered: "Give up redemption and keep your wealth? Can you think of people who can't think of it? In my opinion, it is precisely because of these riches that we have been able to live until now, and people provide good wine and meat every day, isn't it because we have something worth extracting? If you don't have these riches, you still want to drink wine and eat meat? Dream on. Which captive does not live in shackles and chains, it would be nice to have a naan to eat every day. ”
Although this person's words were not good, they still resonated with many leaders.
"That is, why do people treat us so favorably, isn't there still property to squeeze? If you don't even have this value, it is estimated that it will not be on the auction table, but on the guillotine. ”
"Yes, I also think that the second brother's words are wrong, it's not easy for us to accumulate those possessions, but at this time, we can't give up our lives and money, right?"
"No matter what you think, I'm going to try it anyway, and if I can redeem myself, I can rob the money again. It is the lives and freedom of the brothers that matter. ”
"Yes, freedom is more important than anything else, if you really give King Altan to be cannon fodder, even if you have ten lives, you have to take them all."
"Don't forget, we begged people to surrender at the beginning, and according to that little Qincha's original wishes, we all have to be killed."
"That's it, it's already a big fate for us to be captives, don't make any extraneous branches, in case you provoke that little Qincha, he plays a trick, we have to die, this Qincha is a ruthless master."
Everyone said a word, and in the end there was almost a single voice, all against the idea of the one-eyed dragon.
The one-eyed dragon was anxious, and said to the old avenue that was swarming: "Big brother, what do you think, what is your idea?" ”
The boss of the swarm said slowly: "I don't have any ideas, the ideas of many brothers are also my ideas." Second child, don't worry about it, I'm not complaining about you, it's because of the strategy you designed with Zhehan and Monno that we are in today's situation, but we were captured, and Zhehan and Monno were also sent by Xiaoqin, this person is ruthless, let's obediently admit defeat this time, as long as we don't die, there will always be a comeback. ”
"Yes, the eldest brother is right."
"Well, the eldest brother has said everything to the point, we have also seen the methods of this little Qincha, it is better not to provoke him, what kind of characters are the two adults of Zhehan and Monno, who were not abolished by him? The king of Altan still has to compensate others, and Hassan can't give them a head when he comes, let alone us. If Xiao Qincha changes his attention and cuts us all, I don't think anyone will say a word for us. ”
"And yes." The boss of the swarm said again.
"We're not saying that Hassan is the only buyer now, you don't know, our enemies also have many people, waiting to want our heads."
Although the auction of the Grass Flying Leader is long, there are not many bidders, and more people have not yet made a bid, and they are waiting for a swarm of auctions.
What do you do when you buy a swarm of bees?
Of course, they are to buy them back to kill their heads, and they are not treasures, and no one will buy them back to treasure.
Over the years, a swarm of people has almost robbed the big tribes on the grassland, and it can be said that the enemy is full of enemies, and there are so many people who want them to die that they can't count them themselves. Some of the enemies are afraid that they have forgotten themselves, but they have not forgotten them.
Moreover, at this time, he was proud of the spring breeze, and gave Sanniangzi a favor, and he also earned a net income of 15,000 taels of silver, as well as calligraphy and paintings and Song edition books, adding up to more than 100,000 taels of silver.
This alone is a big profit, and he even feels faintly guilty when he thinks of the future ending of Grass Fly and his brothers.
If the leaders of the swarm are so popular, won't he become the richest man in the world overnight, and the eight major families of the Pirate Alliance will probably be ashamed of themselves, of course, this can only be if.
"Zhang Whale asked us for a dividend of 10,000 taels of silver, and I promised him." Zhou Dingcheng said with some trepidation.
"Give it to him." Besides, he was on the rise, waved his big hand, and didn't care about the authenticity.
"It's just a pity that those treasures have to be handed in, I read them, they are all good treasures, I think the country was rich when His Majesty Emperor Yingzong was there, and some of the emperor's belongings now seem to be amazing treasures." Zhou Dingcheng said with emotion.
Moreover, his expression was a little gloomy when he heard this, the Yingzong period was the recuperation of the two generations of Renzong and Xuanzong, and the national strength reached its peak, and the financial resources were also the most prosperous period of the Ming Dynasty.
However, Yingzong is also a hard-working emperor, the second half of his life is very miserable, once imprisoned in the palace by his younger brother Emperor Jing, the doors are welded, and the people outside can only pass things from the dog hole to stuff in, and the supply of the imperial court to Yingzong is also cut off, and Yingzong's Queen Qian relies on manual work to make money to support the people around her.
Under the dim oil lamp, Queen Qian, the mother of the world, stayed up all night doing manual work to make money. Besides, every time I think of this, I can't help but feel a pain in my heart, the fate of this queen is worse than Yingzong, Yingzong was captured during her day and night with tears to wash her face, and finally survived until Yingzong came back, but fell into hell, she cried all year round and cried her eyes, and stayed up all night working under the oil lamp, and finally led to blindness.
Later, the door seizure incident that caused a sensation in the whole country was that some ministers smashed open the door of the palace where Yingzong and his wife were imprisoned when Emperor Jing was seriously ill, took Yingzong out, and then went to the main hall to announce the restoration of Yingzong, and Emperor Jing, who was seriously ill, died of horror after hearing the news. This is the famous door grabbing incident in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Yingzong and his wife had a very good relationship, after the death of Empress Qian, Yingzong decided not to stand again, and before he died, he made an edict, starting from him, the emperor of later generations died, and he was no longer allowed to be buried with a living person.
The most evil and bloody living burial system in Chinese history has completely come to an end in the hands of Yingzong, and this alone, and I feel that Yingzong's merits are by no means under any Ming monarch, and what ordinary people can't imagine is that after the Tang and Song dynasties, to the Ming Dynasty, the living burial system still exists.
The living burial system of ordinary aristocratic princes has long been abolished, and only the emperor still retains this privilege. When the emperors of previous dynasties died, there were always a group of people buried alive in the mausoleum, which was unimaginable in blood and cruelty.
Confucius said: The one who started the culprit has no aftermath. It is the greatest anger against the system of burial of the living.
The initiator was just a puppet and a clay puppet burial, and there was nothing wrong with it, but he started the later burial of the living, which was his sin, so Confucius scolded him for cutting off his children and grandchildren.
Since Emperor Yingzong, the system of martyrdom for the living has been completely abolished, which can be called a milestone in human history, and it cannot be overestimated.
"You don't think about those things, who dares to keep those treasures, isn't it looking for death?" Besides, he retracted his thoughts flying in the sky, and then smiled.
"I'm just distressed, so many treasures, that is, the end of being dusted in the palace treasury."
Zhou Dingcheng really took a good look at a few treasures, but unfortunately he didn't dare to stay, so he could only hand them in. Since then, he will continue to grieve and anger over the fate of these treasures, and then continue to vent his resentment through alcohol.
"Are you all okay? Is there anything you are in a hurry to leave? Besides, he asked.
"That's not true, I think they are in a very high mood, Lord Cao, Lord Gai, and Master Cui also gambled because of the auction, and in the end Lord Gai won." Zhou Dingcheng said with a smile.
"They're still betting? It's not bad, it's a small bet. Everyone was also happy. And he laughed.
Besides, holding this auction is strictly speaking, his own business, after all, all this income will go into his pocket, so he is afraid that these officials will have opinions, in that case, the court will have to fly again.
However, he believed that the emperor would understand his approach, and he felt that the emperor would also agree to him making money in this way, even if all the money went into his hands. The emperor knew in his heart that the money he earned would eventually be filled into the account of the sixth guard of Jinyi. According to his personal life situation, he does not need to make money at all, and the money he has on hand is enough for several generations of his family.
"Is it possible that these things will fall into the hands of Zhang Whale after you say that?" Zhou Dingcheng asked in a low voice.
"No, he definitely doesn't have the guts to be greedy for these things." Besides, he was sure.
Besides, I understand that if Zhang Whale had the heart to covet these treasures, he would not have extorted 10,000 taels of silver from him.
