"Ergouzi, let Lao Da quietly dock and secretly send a pair of people back to Tahu Beach, you don't need to fight with the other party, just follow and figure out where the other party came from."

This one coincides with Uncle Da, it can be seen that Jiang is still old and spicy.

"Also, family master, since the other party dares to attack our fleet, then Camp Commander Peng must also pay more attention."

Wang Shihua slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I really forgot about them." ”

He also said to Ergouzi: "Send a telegram to Camp Commander Peng, asking them to immediately drive the boat into the Flying Shark Village, and then send spies to search in the direction of Tahu Beach (northeast)." ”

After speaking, he smiled at Uncle Da: "I hope that the other party will salvage the weapons on that big ship under the desire for profit." ”

The four-way spies are equivalent to enclosing the Tiger Beach from the outside, and due to the relationship between the road and the distance, the gap in the middle is large. If the other party deploys properly and evacuates immediately, it is very likely that these four spies will be interspersed. Wang Shihua said this because he hoped that the other party would salvage weapons and delayed time, so that time could be used to make up for the gap in space, so as to track down who the other party was, so that the Wang family could retaliate afterwards.

"Head of the house, a telegram from Uncle Da."

Wang Shihua took it, and when he saw it, his face was immediately cold, and his eyes were murderous, but he endured his anger and handed the telegram to Uncle Jiang.

The contents of the telegram were reports of the damage that Uncle Da had just finished tapping: six dead, thirty-five wounded, seven of them seriously wounded, eight missing - only two had returned, plus two of the seriously wounded had been killed and three were maimed. One large ship was lost, a thousand fast guns sank to the bottom, and the remaining seven large ships were damaged to varying degrees, and they could not sail normally in a short time.

This is the biggest loss since Wang Shihua took charge, whether it is manpower or goods.

What made Wang Shihua feel that the situation was even more serious: the other party actually had no intention of salvaging weapons, but did not stop at all and immediately headed for Hubei. In other words, Wang Shihua's plan to arrange spies to surround him on all sides failed, and it would be much more troublesome to track it down. And the decisive behavior of the other party made Wang Shihua feel the root of his vigilance: since it is not for weapons, what is the purpose of the other party?

However, there is one last glimmer of hope: Yang San with twenty people is quietly following and tracking.

"The head of the family, things are already like this, we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven."

Wang Shihua lowered his head and did not speak. After a short while, he instructed Ergouzi, who had just returned: "Let Guangming and Uncle Liu bring the best medicines and surgical equipment for the treatment of knives and guns, and hurry to Shendao Town......

Speaking of this, Wang Shihua looked up at the sun in the sky, sighed, and said, "Yes~!" can only do one's best and obey the destiny of heaven! If you can save one, it's one~! ”

When Wang Shihua came to Shendao Town quickly, all the characters with heads and faces in Shendao Town came...... said that it was to welcome, but not to show that it had nothing to do with him. After all, if such a big thing happens, if one is not good, it is likely to become the target of the Wang family's anger.

Wang Shihua received a telegram from Uncle Da on the road, after leaving Tahu Beach, everything went smoothly in the fleet, and the tracking of Yang San and others was also smooth, which made Wang Shihua feel better, and he was also in the mood to greet these people.

"Master Wang, this angry bandit is definitely a big harm to the local area, and we will definitely try our best to investigate this matter......"

"Master Wang, we are very sorry for the damage to Guibushu, and we will not let go of the murderer......

"If the master of the Wang family needs something, just say it, we will definitely do our best to help......"

Wang Shihua didn't want to listen to these saliva, and he had to listen to them, after all, he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person! People give you face, you can't refuse everyone's kindness, right?

Wang is here to express his most sincere gratitude to all of you for your warm help. No matter what the result is, Wang remembers the kindness of all of you today. ”

After greeting these people for a while, he came to Mayor Xue.

"Master Wang, I have already sent Luo Yu to take the Shendao Battalion to pick up by boat."

This is a sincere statement and substantive support.

"Thank you Mayor Xue for your great help, I will definitely repay in the future...... By the way, Mayor Xue, are there any mines missing from the town? ”

This is a tactful inquiry about mines, after all, it is an extremely valuable clue.

Unexpectedly, Mayor Xue smiled, invited Wang Shihua aside, and whispered: "Forgive me, the head of the Wang family, it's all because Xue is negligent in discipline on weekdays, so it's a little troublesome to find this clue......"

"Lao Xue, everyone is a friend, could it be that you want to make a statement with me?"

Don't look at what Wang Shihua said lightly, but the meaning of his words is very bloody. Mayor Xue was shocked: How could he dare to admit such a big event that dropped the heads of the whole family?

"Master Wang, don't dare to joke about this kind of thing. Even if I borrow ten guts, I don't dare to do such a thing that people and gods are angry about. ”

Wang Shihua was originally joking with him, but when he heard this, he smiled faintly and asked, "Then what did you mean when you said that it was very troublesome to investigate?" ”

Mayor Xue was forced to do nothing by this, and had to expose his shortcomings in embarrassment, but speaking of which, Mayor Xue couldn't be blamed entirely.

Everyone knows that Shendao Town has a stockpile of mines, and they are all old styles, but no one knows how many there are - the key is that they are not taken seriously.

There are 200 mines on the books, but since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, during this period, wars broke out, although Shendao Town was not greatly affected, but the mayor of the town has changed thirteen times in a row in eight years, plus there are four major families as a guarantee, the safety of Shendao Town has been guaranteed, and the importance of mines will be the lowest immediately.

In the past few decades, even Mayor Xue, who has been in Shendao Town for ten years, has never asked about the chicken-like mines, who cares?

Today, Mayor Xue suddenly came to the warehouse to check, and almost didn't scold his mother: of the two hundred mines on the books, only thirteen were left in front of him, and the fuses on them were all removed, leaving an empty shelf, to put it bluntly, all gone.

Moreover, because the mayor of the town has changed one after another, the administrator of the warehouse is also constantly changing, and there is no way to check if you want to! When you are in a hurry, they push the matter on the former storekeepers who have been missing for decades or even have died, and you are left to pick up the stone and hit the sky - all you can't help it!

I am afraid that there are not a few of these antique mines left in the whole country, and they are definitely scattered from Shendao Town. However, such a major event as the attack on the Wang family's fleet was related to these mines, and Mayor Xue could not justify himself, so he could only have the courage to plead guilty.

Seeing Wang Shihua looking over with a wry smile, Mayor Xue slapped his chest, "Knock!" Boom! Rang, and assured vigorously: "But don't worry, I have sent everyone out to inquire about the situation, as long as the other party passes through Shendao Town during this time, he will definitely be able to find out." ”

Mayor Xue has said so, what else can you do? Wang Shihua could only pat Mayor Xue on the shoulder and said, "Old Xue, it's not that I blame you, you're too messy here." Moreover, since the other party dares to attack my Wang family, he must dare to attack other fleets, or it will be a great hidden danger to the waterway safety of Shendao Town. ”

"Don't worry, I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Lao Xue, I mean to say: no matter how difficult and troublesome it is, what should be checked has to be checked." glanced at Mayor Xue, and saw that his face was embarrassed, Wang Shihua immediately guessed that he was afraid that he was afraid that he would take the opportunity to stretch out his hand to Shen Dao Town, and couldn't help but be a little entangled: Old Xue~! If I want to put my hand into Sinking Knife Town, what's the use of worrying? simply made the words clear: "Lao Xue, although this is your territory, it is said that I should not cross the line, but after all, it happened here, so if you feel embarrassed, I will do it...... I've brought someone from my family in this area. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shihua joked with a weird smile: "The more troublesome things are, the better they are at tracking, and the more troublesome the better." ”

Even for the sake of face, it is impossible for Mayor Xue to let others discipline his subordinates.

"No, I'll solve my mistakes myself, and when the time comes, I'll give you an explanation."

Wang Shihua smiled and did not insist.

After saying a few more words to Mayor Xue, he came to the Xiao family brothers.

"Master Wang, my Xiao family's fleet is already ready and ready to set sail at any time."

"Thank you! Wang remembered this feeling. ”

"The master of the Wang family is polite, everyone is a friend, don't be polite."

Just as everyone entered the town, Uncle Da sent a telegram again: The fleet was less than ten miles away from Shendao Town, and there was no need to send reinforcements.

Wang Shihua breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Wang Sanye who came over: "Third master, I'm causing you trouble, I don't know ......."

"I can't write two Wang characters in one stroke, and the lord of the Wang family is polite. I have all the doctors and medicines you mentioned, and they are all waiting on the dock, just waiting for the fleet to arrive, and I can send them to the hospital for treatment immediately. ”

"Thank you!"

Immediately, everyone walked into the town and headed for the big pier. Entering the town, Wang Shihua found that there were many fewer traders in Shendao Town today, and there were a lot more gunmen with loaded guns, and a depressing atmosphere was shrouded in the sky above Shendao Town. After thinking about it for a while, I was relieved: the fleet was attacked, and for the people of Shendao Town, it had not appeared for many years, and the peaceful days had been too long, and it suddenly happened, everyone was inevitably a little nervous, and martial law was logical.

Although he had been prepared in his heart, as the seven big ships got closer and closer, and the damage on the ships became clearer and clearer, Wang Shihua's heart felt as if someone had hit him hard.

The bow of the flagship is still invisible, but there is a large hole in the stern plywood, and the hull is full of craters and bullet marks...... Other large ships were more or less similar to the flagship, and all suffered varying degrees of damage.

The most seriously injured was the No. 7 large ship towed by the flagship, half of which disappeared at the stern, as if it had been bitten off by a giant beast. The main pole leaned on the ship, and there was a large hole of more than one meter on the deck of the bow of the ship, and in the middle of the left side of the hull, there was also a large hole of nearly one meter, which was blocked by people with wooden planks and yellow fish grass, like a leprosy head, shocking and unsightly. The most devastating thing was that the crew organized a line of water and used manpower to continuously pour water into the cabin into the river, and needless to say, as soon as they stopped, the big ship would sink due to the flooding. You can also imagine how viciously it was attacked at that time.

Wang Shihua's face instantly became gloomy and terrifying, and his eyes were murderous......
