Chapter 745: The Hero in the Cage
Compared with the county government, the government office, the political secretary and other civil officials who have cells in the ritual system, the South Australian General Military Mansion originally did not have such a prison cell, but because it is inevitable that there will be prisoners when marching and fighting, and sometimes it is necessary to deal with generals who have violated military regulations, so there is a boxy house in the northwest corner, and there are always a hundred elite soldiers guarding it on weekdays. And since Lin Daoqian and Lin Afeng were escorted here, the original 100 elite soldiers have increased to 300, and it can be said that even a mosquito can't fly out.
Since there are no windows, there is only a small window at the highest point, only small animals such as mice can pass through, the cell is very dim, in broad daylight, but you can't see the scene in the opposite cell, you can only distinguish the location of the other party by sound, but if you don't count the middle-aged scholar who came a few days ago and asked them about the past for some reason, this is already the only entertainment here. Since being locked up here, Lin Afeng doesn't know how many times he has mocked Lin Daoqian on the other side, but the other party has never answered, if it weren't for the sound of eating and drinking, Lin Afeng would have thought that guy was dead.
At this moment, he was bored, grabbed the brick scraps rolling off the ground, and threw them to the opposite side, hearing the sound of things falling on the ground, but found that there was no reaction from there, even if he knew that it was futile, he still couldn't help but scold: "Lin Daoqian, even if it falls into the hands of the government, you don't need to look dead like this, right?" Anyway, you used to be majestic at sea, but in the end you were blinded by a little girl, so you don't have anything to say? Hero I. Confused for a while. If it weren't for you. I wouldn't have come to this point! ”
When he thought that he had scolded again this time, a lazy voice finally came from the other side: "So what? When you come to blame others when you die, will it be easier for the chopper to fall? Oh, I have killed countless people in my life, I have seen all the gold and silver treasures, and I have enjoyed all the beautiful women, and in the end I was pitted by a woman, and that is nothing. Pure deserved. ”
"You're a bit of a talent!" Lin Afeng only felt angry, but unfortunately there was nothing at hand at all, he could only scold hatefully, "No wonder the ancestors left rules, the sea ship that goes out to do things is absolutely not allowed to take a woman, this woman is a pit goods!" ”
"Who do you say is a cheat?"
Hearing this crisp voice at first glance, not only Lin Afeng was startled, but Lin Daoqian was also startled. The latter listened to the sound and identified the position, suddenly turned his head in one direction, and asked sharply: "Is it Xiuzhu?" ”
"What about me?" With this sound. A little light suddenly lit up in the darkness, and then Lin Daoqian and Lin Afeng, who were in the two cells, found out. Here came a man wearing a black hooded cloak and holding an oil lamp in his hand. Although he couldn't see the other party's head and face clearly, it was obviously a woman's voice, but it couldn't be faked.
"Didn't your mother leave a legacy and must kill me? When you're already halfway there, why would you even think of coming to see me? ”
"I can do whatever I want, what's your business?" Xiuzhu sarcastically said stiffly, holding the oil lamp to distinguish the people in the cells on both sides, and finally came to Lin Daoqian's cell. Looking at the sturdy wooden fence and the big iron lock hanging at the door, she snorted coldly, and then asked lightly, "If it weren't for Wang Ye waiting for the echo of Chaozhong, you wouldn't have lived for a few days." Now that death is on the verge of death, if you have anything to say earlier, don't expect him to collect your body for you one day! ”
Even though Lin Afeng also killed countless people, when he heard Xiuzhu's words, he couldn't help but have blue tendons on his forehead, and secretly thought that if he was Lin Daoqian, he would definitely be furious. However, to his surprise, Lin Daoqian's reaction was to smile, and he couldn't say anything: "I have nothing to say, in addition to you, I also have several sons and some subordinates, fortunately, all of them stayed in Beitani, otherwise I will be troubled by you, I am afraid that I will be served by the government." I don't need you to collect the body, even if you die and are eaten by wild dogs, it will be my own doing. ”
As if he didn't see Xiuzhu's blue face, he said to himself: "I was originally a small official in the county government, although I am not rich, but as long as I am diligent, it is no problem to worry about food and clothing, but it is a pity that I am not willing to let those high-ranking adults be able to command, but I can only kneel down and only promise, and I am not willing to earn money for a whole year, but it is not enough to enjoy a day." Therefore, I took the risk to smuggle, and when the government found out that I was about to be convicted, I dragged a group of people into the sea to become pirates. Although I have ended up like this now, I don't regret it just like when I saw your grandma and forced her. ”
"Shut up, you shut up for me!" Xiuzhu was furious. During the previous time, she had always been very sad in her heart, one voice told her that it was Grandma's enemy, a pirate who harmed the people, but another voice told her that it was her father after all, who gave her blood. But now that she heard these naked words, all her hesitation was gone, and it was replaced by deep resentment.
"You have no cure, wait to go to the court!"
Hearing Xiuzhu drop this sentence, and seeing it rush out like a whirlwind, and disappear from sight along with the light, Lin Afeng finally couldn't help it, and scolded again: "Are you a pig brain?" She's obviously here to listen to your confession, and if you say a few soft words, maybe you'll have a chance. No wonder you lost to me in a battle and then lost again and again, dare to love your head without a turn! ”
"Just because she wants to hear it, I'm going to tell her? Lin Afeng, you just want to say that the eldest husband can bend and stretch, but now that he is locked up in the South Australian General Military Mansion, do you think that holding such a little girl hostage will give you a chance to escape? Instead of dreaming like this, it is better to be realistic and think about what other benefits you can give to the government. For example, if you give up all the treasures you have hidden, you may still have a chance of survival. Lin Daoqian smiled, with a bit of interest in his tone, "As for me, I've lived enough, and I'm impatient to drag it out any longer." ”
"You...... I'm so! Lin Afeng almost choked Lin Daoqian to death, and said angrily, "What kind of treasure do you want to break." Let me make up ten or eight. But it is absolutely impossible for the government to take me to the sea again. I buried something to make a comeback. But I suffered so much loss at the hands of the Francophone before, and I got up a long time ago after diving back, where is it! Just like Wu Pingzhai was on Nanao Island back then, it was not a legend of Wu Ping's relics at the beginning, but as a result, the officers and soldiers ploughed the ground on Nanao Island, and found nothing? ”
mentioned Wu Ping, who had been regarded as the pirate king by Zeng Yiyi and others, as well as himself and Lin Daoqian, and then thought of his current situation, and he suddenly felt bad.
Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Wu Ping, Zeng Yiyi...... All of them used to be more powerful than themselves. has already been swept into the garbage heap, is it his turn to do the next two with Lin Daoqian?
Just when Lin Afeng's heart was full of remorse and unwillingness, and he was leaning against the wall in a daze, he suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps outside. Thinking that Xiuzhu was going and returning, he glanced at the other side angrily, and said with a smile: "I thought that your daughter was so stubborn, and she still remembered your father in the end." Lin Daoqian, you were cheated by your daughter, but you still have your daughter to send you to the end, and you are still a little lucky. I advise you to accumulate some virtue and then make people angry. You'll regret it yourself. ”
Before Lin Daoqian could answer, there was a hehe sound outside, followed by a voice that was very unfamiliar to both of them: "It seems that Xiuzhu has just come." Yan Dashuai is good to her, so she is not afraid that this girl will suddenly regret and rescue people. ”
"There is still the General Soldier's Mansion when you run out of this black house, and there is a Nanao Island when you run out of the General Soldier's Mansion, and those soldiers and horses outside are not idle meals."
This latter voice is not very familiar to Lin Daoqian, but Lin Afeng is unforgettable, and he got up with a bone, and he didn't care that his hands and feet were all wearing heavy chains, and he opened his mouth and scolded: "Jin Feilong...... No, Dumod, you dare to come! ”
"Why don't I dare?"
With this rhetorical question, the originally dim light in the distance suddenly brightened up a lot, and then illuminated the two faces in front and behind. The man in front of him was in his early twenties, dressed in a cyan straight shirt, young and handsome, at first glance he seemed to be an ordinary scholar, but when he looked closely, Lin Afeng found that the other party looked light and light, but his eyes were so sharp that they went straight to people's hearts. However, he only glanced at the other person, and his eyes fell on the other person who was one step behind, because that was the person he hated the most.
He wanted to sneer and scold the other party, but at this time, he heard Lin Daoqian next door say lazily: "Don't forget who persuaded me just now, the big husband can bend and stretch!" ”
Lin Afeng was almost choked to death by Lin Afeng's breath, but thinking about the current situation, he swallowed back the scolding on his lips, but he snorted coldly and never said anything again.
But he didn't speak, but Du Maode would not be dumb: "I was young and vigorous, relying on the many years of travel in Guangdong, hiring a boat to go to sea to Dongshan Island, and you didn't let go of such a small boat, and killed the father and son of the boatman in front of me. In the three years that I followed you, you used my strategy to attack the opponent, publicizing that you were the master, but on the other hand, you were guarding against me, and in the end, after being stubborn and defeated, you still wanted to coerce me to go to Luzon together, what do you really think you are? ”
Although he couldn't see what Lin Afeng's expression was, he found that the person in the cell opposite was dumb and couldn't make a sound, Lin Daoqian suddenly laughed: "Lin Afeng, I think how you were like eating gunpowder for a while before, and there was a lot of rules in the war, it turned out that you had accepted a military advisor!" It's a pity that people don't have the same heart as you, and you are also wary of him all the time, otherwise you will really subdue other pirates, then there will be nothing to do with me. It's this Du Xianggong, you just said that Lin Afeng is not the master, do you think that the son in front of you is the master? ”
The topic suddenly turned to himself, and from this weird angle, Wang Fulin couldn't help but be a little funny. He turned his head sideways and stopped Du Maode with his eyes, and said word by word: "There is only one master in this world, and that is the Holy One today. If you don't want to suffer any more here, be careful when you speak! ”
Even if there is not much reverence for imperial power in his heart, Wang Fulin will definitely not tell the truth in his words. And after laying the tone, he said straightforwardly: "I am Wang Fulin, the imperial governor of Guangdong, and Du Xianggong is now my hired staff." ”
After Lin Daoqian and Lin Afeng were escorted to this so-called black house, except for three meals a day, there was no other news, and it was only now that they realized who was cheated this time. Although Wang Fulin's reputation in Guangdong officialdom is now in full swing, and after taking down this group of pirates, he is also famous among the people, but for Lin Daoqian and Lin Afeng, they spend most of the year adrift at sea, occasionally on land, and they are also nested on some small islands, or they are all broken into pieces and hide in some coastal villages to replenish, so they have hardly heard of the name Wang Fulin before.
But the name is unfamiliar, but they are not unfamiliar with the six words of Guangdong Patrol Imperial History. Especially Lin Daoqian, who used to be a petty official, knows very well what this official title means. Historically, when patrolling the imperial history to the county, the county government from the county order to the subordinate officials to the three classes and six rooms, all of them were full of farts and urine, for fear that they would make mistakes due to insufficient preparation and be regarded as a target for killing chickens and monkeys. Even if it is Lin Afeng, he has watched the drama and knows the majesty of the Bafu Patrol with the Shangfang Sword in his hand. Moreover, in the pirate industry, who doesn't know that Hu Zongxian started from the imperial history of Zhejiang in the past?
"It turned out to be planted in the hands of Wang Ye, so it is not wronged. It's just that I want to ask Wang Ye one thing, how did you find Xiuzhu? ”
In the previous sentence, Lin Daoqian's voice seemed quite stable, but in the latter sentence, he could no longer hide the anger in it, and even Lin Afeng, who had laughed at him before, couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
"It's not that I found her, it's that she has been looking for you for revenge, and she also claimed to be Lin Daoqian's daughter everywhere, but she was almost betrayed and sent to the government. It was only by chance that I took her in. ”
Although Wang Fulin said it concisely, Lin Daoqian didn't believe it at all. He himself had been appeased and then rebelled, knowing that this capricious virtue was not the preserve of pirates, and neither was the government. He stood up with support, staggered to the side of the fence, and saw Lin Afeng on the other side holding the solid wooden fence with both hands, looking at him with deep eyes, but he pretended not to see it, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Then dare to ask Wang Ye, what are you going to do with Xiuzhu?" ”
"She just pretends to be your daughter, this can make miraculous achievements, I have already written her righteous deeds to the court, on the occasion of encircling and suppressing the Yao people in Luobian Mountain, with such a righteous and loyal Yao woman, the court will only talk about meritorious deeds, what to talk about?" Wang Fulin smiled and asked, "What, do you think that all the people in the government are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge and not recognizing people?" ”
The government is originally this virtue!
Not only Lin Daoqian, but even Lin Afeng thought so in his heart, so he could only be said to be suspicious of Wang Fulin's words. However, Wang Fulin insisted that Xiuzhu was just pretending to be his daughter, and Lin Daoqian finally put down the biggest stone in his heart, but thinking that on the way back, Du Maode actually said that he had moved the others to surrender together, so he couldn't help asking: "What happened to Du Xianggong before that, but is it true?" ”
"Naturally, take it seriously." Wang Fulin burst out four words without thinking about it, seeing that Lin Afeng's face was a little ecstatic for the rest of his life under the light, Lin Daoqian was a little ridiculed, and he suddenly changed his words and said, "However, it's not up to me to have the final say, it depends on what kind of attitude the DPRK and China have." Not only those pirates, but also whether the two of you are dead or alive depends on what the DPRK and China discuss. But personally, if you two stay, I'm afraid that the officials and people of Guangdong and Fujian won't be able to feel at ease, but if you kill them all, my reputation will be ruined. Anyway, I'm going to write and try to keep one of you, so I'll say hello to you first. ”
When following Wang Fulin out of the dark room, Du Maode finally couldn't help but ask: "Master Wang, can you really only keep one of the two?" ”
"Of course...... No. Wang Fulin shrugged his shoulders and said slyly: "Before, these two people were locked in a prison cell, and no one paid attention to them, in order to consume their will and break their defenses. And in order to prevent them from being locked up for a long time, it is necessary to make them aware of their situation. ”
