Hearing this, there was an "ah" below, and the people kneeling on the ground raised their heads together at the same time, looking at Li Tingyu sitting on the Taishi chair with different expressions, some people were stunned, some people were surprised, and some people were at a loss and didn't know what to say, but the most excited was the white dragon Wang Tao in the waves.

The Humpty Dumpty man smiled like a peony blossoming on his face, walked a few steps on his knees on the ground, almost leaned at Li Tingyu's feet, and asked eagerly: "My lord, my lord!" Did Prince Yu really wait for a royal order for me? ”

Li Tingyu's face was full of disdain, and he squinted at Wang Tao and said: "When the general just arrived, he told you that there was a royal order with him, but did you forget it?" ”

Wang Tao said: "Don't dare to forget, don't dare to forget." "The heart is happy, although he lives in this Hongze Lake, but does not change the habit of going south and north to the north when doing business in the past, and pays attention to the collection of the general situation in the world, so what is the prince of Yu in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what rights do you have, and I know very well in my heart, Prince Yu Duoduo is the general of the expedition to the south appointed by Dolgon, since the south of the Yellow River in addition to the emperor and the regent is his biggest feudal official, the power is monstrous, he wants to recruit a small group of Hongze Lake water kou, that is a matter of one sentence.

Li Tingyu looked at Wang Huan, nodded and said, "Please read out the royal decree." "It's barely okay for him to act and pretend to be a god, but to make up a non-existent royal order, Li Laosan doesn't have that kind of literary talent.

Wang Huan bowed down and agreed, reached out and took out a scroll from his arms, held it in his hand, and said sharply to Wang Tao: "The king's order is here, you will quickly set up the case and receive the order!" ”

Wang Tao and the others were dumbfounded, the court rules were too high-end for a big man like them, and they didn't know how to take it at all, but fortunately, Wang Tao was more or less a squire, and he knew a little bit of the rules, and hurriedly scolded a group of illiterate water thieves who brought a long case from outside, and it couldn't be placed in the hall, so they had to put it in the open space outside the house, and then simply put on an earthen stove and burn three pillars of incense, and it was done.

Li Tingyu walked outside the house with a group of people, Wang Tao and the others consciously immediately knelt in front of the incense case, touched the ground with their heads, and did not dare to come out, waiting for Wang Huan to read out the royal decree. There are water thieves muttering to themselves on the side: "Grandma, I kowtowed more today than Lao Tzu in my life!" The voice was very small, but Wang Tao heard it, and suddenly his round eyes widened, and he looked at the water thief fiercely with a cannibalistic look, so frightened that the man didn't dare to make a sound.

Wang Huan coughed, walked to the back of the incense case, slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand, and then raised it high, covering his face.

He was also a little nervous in his heart, because after the scroll was unfolded, there was not a word on the white paper, Wang Huan had to rely on his own on-the-spot performance, and made up a royal order on the spot. He tried his best to recall the appearance of the eunuch reading the holy decree in the TV series in later generations, and at the same time thought about the ancient texts he had read before, and figured out how to write the classical Chinese. But after thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly came back to my senses: There is a group of illiterate people kneeling below, can't I, a college student, still fool the group of illiterates hundreds of years ago? Do they know more than I do? How can it be!

So he cleared his throat, and Wang Huan read aloud: "Prince Yu and the general of the Southern Command: Hongze Lake has been in turmoil for many years, cutting off the waterway, and harming the Quartet. But this king remembered that there was a reason for the chaos, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty poisoned the villagers, and they forced it too much, and the officials forced the people to turn their backs. And because of the benevolence of the Son of Heaven in this dynasty, there are orders to be carried out in the world, but only the former dynasty bandits and others, there are those who change their minds and submit to the Qing Dynasty, they can be pardoned outside the law, save their bodies, and find another place to settle. Therefore, he ordered the white flag to really map the sea, and went to Hongze Lake to recruit Wang Tao, the leader of the Shuikou, to return to the Qing Dynasty as he wished, and he could all die, otherwise, the army would wave to the end of the day, and not an inch of grass would be left! This order! ”

Facing a blank piece of paper, Wang Huan read out an article, so much so that the sweat on his forehead came down. Li Tingyu and Li Yan, who were standing beside him, were also sweating profusely, and they could see clearly that there was not even a punctuation mark on the paper, Wang Huan was reading, and they were secretly anxious, for fear that Wang Huan would not be able to read it halfway through, and it would be difficult to do. It wasn't until Wang Huan finished reading that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief together.

When the words landed, the audience fell silent, all the people were silent, the people kneeling on the ground did not dare to move, and the people standing did not speak.

After a pause, Wang Huan put away the scroll and said to Wang Tao on the ground: "Leader Wang, do you understand?" ”

Wang Tao raised his head, his eyes were red, his teeth were tight, he looked like he was going crazy, he frowned at Wang Huan, and subconsciously wanted to touch the short knife in his arms.

But in the next second, Wang Tao jumped up, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, the court is going to recruit An!" The Qing Dynasty is going to recruit An! Hahaha! ”

He turned his head like crazy, and yelled at the men who were still kneeling on the ground looking at him, and his excitement was overflowing: "Brothers, we can finally stop hiding in this bird mountain and bird lake!" Grandma, this Bird Lake Lao Tzu has stayed enough, we have to go back to the city, hahaha, no need to lick blood on the tip of the knife, no need to eat the last meal and no more meals, we have to be the people of the Qing Dynasty and enjoy endless wealth, hahaha! ”

This wild scream woke up the water thieves on the ground, and immediately they all jumped up from the ground, echoing Wang Tao and began to laugh, and someone shouted "Congratulations, big brother!" Someone shouted "Long live the Qing Dynasty!" More people were screaming and shouting, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

Wang Huan and Li Tingyu glanced at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that this matter was done, and the first step of the discord plan had been reached.

Li Tingyu glanced at Li Yan, Li Yan nodded, quietly walked away from the clearing, and disappeared into the crowd.

After jumping and shouting for a while, Wang Tao's mind calmed down slightly, and then he remembered that he had patronized and celebrated, but the nobleman behind him had been forgotten. Hurriedly turned around, bowed respectfully to Li Tingyu and Wang Huan, and said almost incoherently: "Adult, adult, small, oh no, no, the grass people are willing to belong to the Qing Dynasty, willing to surrender, willing to do anything!" ”

Wang Huan smiled slightly: "To return to the Qing Dynasty, you have to shave your head." ”

Wang Tao was on his head, and immediately said when he heard the voice: "Of course, of course, the grass people are willing to shave their heads immediately!" Please take a look at it. ”

He took off the sweat towel on his head, threw it to the ground, turned around and pulled out a short knife from the waist of a water thief, and without saying a word, slashed the sharp blade towards his head, and the knife fell to the ground, and in an instant, most of the top of his head became smooth, leaving only a small piece of hair on the back of his head unshaved.

Wang Tao pulled out another straw rope, tangled the remaining hair at the back of his head, tied them together, and a scribbled money rattail braided head was immediately presented in front of everyone's eyes, although it was a little ugly, but everyone could see that this was a standard Manchu hairstyle.

Wang Tao shook his braid proudly, and wanted to say something more to Li Tingyu and Wang Huan with a shy face, but a water thief squeezed everyone out of the crowd, came to him in a hurry, and shouted: "The big boss, the big boss!" Big things are not good! ”

Wang Tao was stunned and said angrily: "It's not big or small, what are you talking about?" Don't you see the adults like this? Lao Tzu cut out your tongue! ”

The subordinates hurriedly covered their mouths, glanced at Li Tingyu and Wang Huan in fear, and said in a low voice: "The big boss, the second boss and the third boss rushed over from the west of the island with people, saying yes, yes, ......."

"What do you want? say, believe it or not, I'm going to cut out your tongue right now! Wang Tao listened to it badly, and he was also a little anxious, and he grabbed the placket of his subordinates with a split hand, and said angrily.

"Yes, I want to slaughter the adults of the Qing court, so that the big boss will break the idea of recruiting An!" Wang Tao was short and fat, but he was extremely powerful, and he raised his subordinates above his head, and his subordinates panicked, almost shouting out the second half of the sentence.

At this moment, everyone in the audience heard the "buzz" of the water thieves around them, and they talked about it in a mixed manner, some people whispered to each other, and some people hurriedly ran out to grab weapons.

Wang Tao stomped his foot, threw his men down, and yelled: "Be quiet, what's the mess, Lao Tzu is still there!" ”

This roar suppressed the panicked water thieves, everyone quieted down, and Wang Tao turned around and said to Li Tingyu and Wang Huan: "Please go and sit in the house for a while, let Wang Tao deal with the door, and come to apologize to the adults later." ”

Li Tingyu was expressionless, and said gloomily: "It seems that the king's cottage is not a monolith, okay, please take care of the king's leader, I will wait for the king's leader." He turned around and took Wang Huan and the others into the small temple hall.

Wang Tao was bruised on his forehead by Li Tingyu's words, the Manchu Lord seems to have an opinion on himself, this is not good, in case people see that they can't control their subordinates, change their minds, and don't recruit An, then it will be a bamboo basket to draw water, and the bright future will immediately come to naught, which Wang Tao can't accept no matter what.

Wang Tao bowed down and sent Li Tingyu and the others into the main hall, and as soon as the people entered, he immediately turned around and asked the thief who rushed to report the news angrily: "Your mother, how many people did Zu Tianci and the two eggs on the side of the ancestor bring?" ”

His subordinates rubbed their necks and got up from the ground, and replied, "There are about seven or eight hundred people,"

Wang Tao's face changed, seven or eight hundred people, although there are not many, but they should all be the cronies of the Zu brothers, the main force in foreign warfare, and the combat effectiveness is far more than seven or eight hundred ordinary people, to suppress them, he has to gather thousands of people to be reliable.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as the ancestral brothers are leveled, they will be able to rely on the boat of Daqing tomorrow, what is the death of their subordinates, after Zhao'an, the fishermen and water thieves will also disperse, and it is useless to keep it. Wang Tao picked up a spear and shouted at the little leaders gathered around him in a rough voice: "Go and call the children below, and follow me down to see what kind of medicine those two boys have taken wrong and done such an ungrateful stupid thing!" Grandma's, their lives were saved by Lao Tzu, have you forgotten it? ”

Scolding and scolding, Wang Tao led a group of subordinates and rushed down the mountain in a hurry, and in a moment, the small temple on the top of the mountain did not even have a single water thief left.

Li Tingyu and Wang Huan stood at the door of the main hall, holding teacups, saluting each other, taking a sip of tea, and looking down the mountain leisurely.

"Senator, what are we going to do next?" Li Tingyu swallowed the tea comfortably and asked.

Wang Huan smiled and blew the tea leaves floating on the water surface in the cup, and raised his eyebrows: "My lord asked knowingly, of course I sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched the fire from the other side." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and raised their glasses again.
