Chapter 107: Heroes from Ancient Times Emerge as Youths
"You mean, Young Master Liang caught Pulsatilla Owen? And several Western pirate leaders? Pan Youdu Pan almost jumped up, his eyes were like a bull in heat, and he was panting heavily.
"Yes, our young master not only captured Pulsatilla Owen and others, but also captured several of their armed clippers, and the young master specially asked the little one to rush back to Guangzhou first to report the good news to Boss Pan. The heads of those Xiyi pirates and the captured warships will probably arrive tomorrow. Wu Qianjin, the little pirate leader of the Liang Mansion, saw the surprised momentum of the famous boss Pan, and pouted in his heart, and said that this foreign businessman has seen a lot of the world, but how I look at it is like a hillbilly, if I really make the achievements of the young master Liang public, I don't know if these boss Pan will go crazy.
As for those armed clippers, if it was before, the Liang family would definitely be very precious, where would they be willing to give away, but now, there are so many people who are upset, there is no way, there are not enough people, although there are not many people carrying knives and guns up and down the Liang family, but there are not many of them, but there are so many warships and clippers, they are not open at all.
This time I went to Luzon, and I still asked the Shi family to send more than 2,000 people to help, which pulled the entire fleet to Luzon to show off its might. Therefore, in order to make his promotion more certain, Young Master Liang discussed with Old Master Liang, and simply took out seven armed clippers, of course, in addition to some of them being handed over to the government to praise their merits, there were other uses.
Pan Youdu took a deep breath again, rubbed his face that was a little numb, he couldn't have imagined that Liang Pengfei would make such a big move when he went to sea this time. "Forget about those thief chiefs, but those clippers, your young master really wants to hand them all over to the government?" The little abacus in Boss Pan's heart began to play with it again, and his squinted eyes were full of shrewdness and more temptation.
"It's not clear about this little one, Ming said that when my young master arrives, Boss Pan will ask in person." Wu Qianjin said with a smile.
Pan Youdu stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Hehe, okay, you tell your young master, these words, the cigarette business is gaining momentum, well, when your young master comes back, please let him come over...... Well, Pan came to congratulate him. ”
Hearing this, the smile on Wu Qianjin's face was a little more. "Don't dare to be, Ming said, I will definitely transfer Boss Pan's hospitality to me to the young master and the master, and I will prepare a banquet to treat Boss Pan, if Boss Pan has no more orders, the little one will leave first."
"Someone, send off." Pan Youdu stood up and beckoned, and asked his subordinates to send Wu Qianjin out of the mansion.
--------------------
"Dad, don't you just let him come over, why do you still want to come to the door?" After the martial arts of the Liang Mansion left, Miss Pan turned out from behind the screen, with a puzzled expression.
"Daughter, it seems that Dad, I still underestimated that Liang Pengfei, a young hero, a hero from ancient times, and the ancients did not deceive me." Pan Youdu beckoned to his daughter and motioned for her to sit beside him, and then let out a long sigh and said slowly. I don't know if Liang Pengfei, an old ghost who is almost fifty years old in his previous life and later life, will stay for a long time when he hears this, and then laugh off his big teeth.
"Dad, is he as good as you say? There are a lot of talented people in our Guangzhou city who are young and talented, like Wu Bingjian, the son of Uncle Wu of Jardine Xingwu Guoying, haven't you also praised him? Pan Bingjie's small mouth pursed cutely, and she looked at her father with big clear eyes.
"You know, Wu Bingjian is born to be a businessman, this, I said before, if Wu Guoying puts Jardine in his hands to take care of it, within ten years, he will definitely become one of the top foreign businessmen in Guangzhou. At this point, my father is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with him. After Pan Youdu took a sip of tea, he picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, took out a root, and Pan Bingjie obediently lit a fire for Pan Youdu.
Pan Youdu took a deep puff of cigarette, and now, almost all the people in Guangzhou who have a little bit of face, except for the old-fashioned one, almost all of them have smoked this clean and convenient cigarette.
"However, Liang Pengfei is different, when he started a business, he seemed to be risky, and he recklessly invested in a new business, but no one expected that this cigarette would be so profitable, and our Pan family would also get a lot of light. Is this a fact? ”
Pan Youdu saw his daughter nodding vigorously, and couldn't help but smile and then said: "But who would have thought that he wanted to donate his official body, but he was unwilling to be a civil official, and he actually donated his military position, you know, you can also see our sailors in Guangzhou, what kind of sailors are they, they are worse than pirates, but if you really want to run into pirates, I'm afraid that only these soldiers will escape." He Liang has been a pirate for a long time, has a deep water war, and has a large number of subordinates, if he really becomes the military attache of the water division, as long as he knows how to use the means, hehe, when the time comes, I am afraid that it is the two vast sea areas, and his old Liang family will be the only one. ”
"I can't believe that Dad, you can think so far." After hearing Pan Youdu's analysis, Pan Bingjie couldn't help but be speechless: "Can he still turn that water master into his Liang family?" ”
"Not necessarily." Pan Youdu flicked the ash into the ashtray carved from white marble, and the expression on his face became a little solemn: "It stands to reason that although his old Liang family is among the pirates, he can be regarded as top-notch, but do you know my daughter, that Pulsatilla Owen, but even Xiyi's fleet has to be a timid character, it can be said that in the waters around the Malay Peninsula, he is almost the only one who speaks."
There are several Xiyi warships under his command, with thousands of people, and he is definitely a first-class Xiyi pirate. Our sailors of the Qing Dynasty once encountered one when they were patrolling the South China Sea, and as a result, nearly half of the manpower and ships were discounted. For this, the original reward of 10,000 taels of silver was raised to 30,000 taels, but who could hold him? The Yi people have talked to me about the pulsatilla in their country, and the bounty is above this price. You can imagine his ferocity. And he has several notorious figures under him, who are also not good at it. ”
"His old Liang family is struggling, and it is rare to be afraid, but he is such a famous figure, Liang Pengfei actually went out for a month or two, and then quietly sent someone to tell me, saying that he had captured people and captured the other party's warship, you said, such a young master, if he is not top-notch, who else? At the beginning, I just thought he was just like Wu Bingjian, but now I know that I really underestimate this person. Later, his achievements really made my father dare not match. ”
Pan Bingjie's eyes lit up, which girl doesn't love heroes, listening to her father analyzing Liang Pengfei, gradually, she felt that that guy was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Our Pan family has been a businessman for several generations, and now, it seems that I am helping the Liang family, but who can know, in the future, will my Pan family rely on his old Liang family again?" Pan Youdu put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and said a little seriously.
Pan Bingjie nodded, between her eyes, there was also a little heaviness that did not belong to her age, after so many years of ears and eyes, she had seen too many ups and downs of those foreign businessmen, life and death, who could guarantee that the Pan family would always go on so smoothly?
--------------------
"As soon as I got home, I wanted to slip away somewhere, so I honestly stayed at home and drank this bowl of sweet soup." The mother-in-law Ye had her hands on her waist, and her face was fierce, so that Young Master Liang saw his mother's spicy side, so he had to sit at the table in a gloomy manner, staring at the big bowl of sweet soup and worrying, he didn't like to drink this thing in his previous life, but, next to him, even Old Man Liang could only obediently sip the sweet soup and carefully accompany the smiling face, what could he do?
"Mother, can I drink less, other people's sweet soup is a small bowl, but ours is bigger than a wine bowl." Young Master Liang laughed dryly twice, and said cautiously to his mother.
"No, drink it, good son, drink sweet soup, it moistens the stomach, my mother knows that you don't like to drink too sweet, so this time it is cooked lightly." Ye sat down and also took a family offensive.
"Okay, drink it, I've drunk it all daddy, you kid is crooked." Liang Daguan really couldn't stand the mother and son, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to reprimand his father.
"How can this be, my son is not not not drinking, but just saying to drink less, what are you in a hurry." It's okay not to speak, as soon as he spoke, Ye immediately turned his gun and dealt with Liang Daguan, but Liang Yuanxia's eyes were slammed. Liang Pengfei almost laughed out loud, but he was afraid of his father's revenge, so he had to hold back his stomach and laugh, while taking a sip of sweet soup.
"As soon as you go out, you won't return home for a month or two, I don't know how worried I am at home, I'm afraid that you will eat less outside, don't dress warmly, and in your heart, you are more tired and panicked than when you were at home......" Listening to his mother's mother Ye's chattering and complaining, pulling the homely routine, Liang Pengfei's heart felt extremely peaceful, at this moment, this feeling, made him feel that his heart was full, and the feeling of home was so good...... "By the way, son, this time bring back seven armed clippers, what are your plans, tell your father." Liang Yuanxia finished drinking the sweet soup, lit a cigarette and asked Liang Pengfei.
Liang Pengfei smiled: "Simple, give it away, one, it is naturally sent to the government, give our old Liang family a boost in face, let those guys know that our old Liang family has merit in the country, and second, it can also shock some small people, saving them from going against our old Liang family." ”
"That's right, some guys, always have to knock and knock, our two are often outside, if there is no murderous name, I'm afraid there will really be some demon moths." Liang Daguan smuttered a cigarette and muttered a vague sentence in his mouth.
"These two are also sent, but there are conditions, my son is going to take these ships and make a deal with Pan Youdu and Pan Boss." The corners of Liang Pengfei's mouth curled, and he smiled evilly.
"What's the deal?" Liang Yuanxia raised his face and looked at his son with a ghostly expression.
