Chapter 70: Another Debt
"According to the original rules, the main people involved in human trafficking were executed, and the rest were expelled from Shuangyu Port and never returned!" Hearing Zhou Chong's question, Xie Lingyun replied without thinking. At the beginning, there were a lot of people involved in human trafficking, and Zhou Hai and Xie Lingyun's father, with the idea of not wanting to do too much killing, just executed the leaders of the human trafficking chamber of commerce, and some other minions were all driven out of the matter.
However, after Zhou Chong heard this punishment, he snorted coldly and said: "It's too light, today I, Zhou Chong, have set a new rule here, anyone who participates in human trafficking will be killed!" ”
As soon as Zhou Chong's last word 'kill' came out, he suddenly turned around and came to the side of Park Yuanjiang's captives, pulled out his saber from the waist of Zheng Ling, who was beating the captives, and then slashed at the neck of the captured Park Yuanjiang.
Hearing the sound of "poof~", Park Yuanjiang's head fell in response, and the bright red neck blood spurted out several feet at once, and even Zhou Chong's face was splashed with a few drops of blood, looking strange and cruel.
No one expected that Zhou Chong would suddenly kill someone, and for a while, all the people in the entire square were stunned, and even some people still maintained a beating posture, looking as if they were frozen there by time. Xie Lingyun, Sanniang, Uncle Huo, Sun Tong and others all showed incredible expressions on their faces, in their opinion, Zhou Zhong was just a weak scholar, and it was impossible to kill people no matter what.
No, what happened next made them even more unexpected, only to see that after Zhou Chong killed Park Yuanjiang, he did not stop, but walked to the stewards of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce with a bloody long knife, and several heads fell to the ground with knives in their hands, two of them were frightened before being killed, and kept begging Zhou Chong, but unfortunately Zhou Chong, who was covered with blood on his face, didn't seem to hear it, and still stabbed the other party in two.
After seeing Zhou Chong kill several people in a row, he raised his head and glanced at the audience, and then pointed at the abducted girls and children with the bloody long knife in his hand, and said with a murderous face: "Brothers, these people are all brothers and sisters of our Ming Dynasty, but they were abducted by the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, and their parents at home cried and wailed for this, you say, should these people be killed?" ”
"Damn it!" As soon as Zhou Chong's words fell, the bloody men led by Zheng Ling and Sun Tong immediately roared loudly. Immediately after that, Sun Tong, whose hands and feet have always been faster than his brain, also did the same, and pulled out his waist knife to kill two prisoners on the spot, which finally opened the curtain of the slaughter, whether it was the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce or the people of the Xie family, all rushed to cut and kill, and after a while, nearly two hundred captives were cut and killed, although countless people begged for mercy during the period, but unfortunately no one was soft.
In an instant, Xie Lingyun watched as nearly two hundred captives were slaughtered in front of him, and almost all of them were beheaded, and the blood spurting from the severed neck was scattered all over the audience, and for a while, the entire air was filled with a thick bloody gas. Originally, Xie Lingyun was irritated by the smell of barbecue in the village, but now with this unpleasant smell of blood, she couldn't help it anymore, turned her head and ran to a place where no one was there and vomited, fortunately, Sanniang noticed her abnormality and hurriedly followed her to take care of her.
Zhou Chong also killed people in his previous life, and there was more than one, but the people he killed would not be reported at all, let alone questioned by the police, so now although he killed a few people in a row, he did not feel any discomfort, and even had a feeling of blood boiling, as if he felt that this was the life he needed.
However, Zhou Zhong quickly calmed down the blood in his chest, and then ordered Sun Tong and others to clean up the battlefield, and the corpse was directly pulled to the cliff next to the stockade and thrown into the sea, but all the heads were left, because Zhou Zhong was still useful.
And just when Zhou Zhong gave orders, he also made a gratifying discovery, that is, most of the people showed a look of awe towards him, especially the people of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce led by Sun Tong and Uncle Huo, who obeyed his words and obeyed his words, and any orders were completed without any discount.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Zhong was also overjoyed, because this marked that he had initially established his prestige in the Chamber of Commerce, and through this bloody means, Zheng Ling and others of the Xie family had a sense of awe for him, believing that this awe would soon spread throughout Shuangyu Port, and then he, the young owner of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, would also become the number one person in Shuangyu Port.
The stockade of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce was quickly cleaned up, and the goods cleared out of it, as well as the ships moored in the port, were considered the trophies of this time, but Xie Lingyun gave Zhou Zhong all these things, of course, she would not do loss-making transactions, this water village of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce belonged to their Xie family from now on, and this village could bring greater wealth to their Xie family, so it was Xie Lingyun who took advantage.
After dividing the loot, the aftermath did not end, and then Zhou Zhong asked people to load more than 300 heads of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce into several carts, and then according to the previous plan with Xie Lingyun, 100 people were sent on each side to follow the carts full of heads, and circled around the entire Beigang District three times.
As soon as the car with the head arrived at the port, it immediately caused a sensation, after all, no one had seen so many heads at once, especially among the people who saw the heads escorting, there were many people from the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, plus the fire they saw last night, which made many people very curious, and talked around the car.
"Brothers from Shuangyu Port, these heads are the people of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce in North Korea, a total of three hundred and sixty-seven ones, some time ago our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was in trouble, these white-eyed wolves not only do not know how to repay the favor, but collude with others to plot the industry of our Chamber of Commerce, and secretly abduct women and children to sell to North Korea, it is really a great crime, and heaven is intolerable, in order to eradicate this cancer, our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce in Nangang joined forces to raid last night......"
These heads were originally used for propaganda, so on each carriage, there was a brother who could speak well to tell the people around him about the origin of these heads, as well as the fact that the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce would take revenge and traffick people, and there was also a point that emphasized the joint action of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Hsieh family to highlight the close relationship between the two families.
Many people know about the grievances between the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and many people do not have any good feelings towards people like Park Yuanjiang who will take revenge, plus they heard that the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce actually abducted and sold girls and children, which really stabbed the hornet's nest, and all the smugglers of the Ming Dynasty scolded the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time praised the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family for being able to eradicate such a scourge.
However, compared to those ordinary smugglers, the other major chambers of commerce in the North Port District have thought more, they don't care about the destruction of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce at all, the only thing that shocked them is that this operation turned out to be from the hands of the young proprietor of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce that suddenly appeared, and the other party also slaughtered more than 300 people of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, this kind of cold and bloody method really made them feel cold all over their bodies, and at the same time they also had an extra layer of awe for the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the worst thing is that the Xie family actually joined forces with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. Although the power of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is not as strong as before, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, although the power of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is not as strong as the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, another overlord in the North Port, but it is also much stronger than the average medium-sized Chamber of Commerce, otherwise the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, the Ise Chamber of Commerce, and the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce would not have joined forces to dare to make a move against the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.
But now the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, which has just declined, has colluded with the Xie family, the overlord of Nangang District, to know that the Xie family is also one of the four overlords of Shuangyu Port, and they are the only large chamber of commerce in the entire Nangang District, and the others are some small chambers of commerce that rely on the Xie family for food, and it can even be said that the entire Nangang District is actually the private port of the Xie family.
With the strength of the Xie family, they are now united with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and it can be seen from the destruction of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce that the two families are likely to have secretly formed an alliance, which is definitely a big deal for the many large and small chambers of commerce in Beigang, and now they have only one thing to do, that is, to understand their position, how to get along with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family in the future?
As the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and after Zhou Zhong returned to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to officially take over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, he found that he had a headache again, that is, the financial situation of the entire Chamber of Commerce was not optimistic.
"Shaodongjia, now there is a shipyard under the name of the Chamber of Commerce, with a total of 137 craftsmen, and the west side of Sha'ao Wharf in Beigang District also belongs to the management of our Chamber of Commerce, and there is also a smuggling fleet under Sun Tong, with a total of six three-masted ships and twelve small and medium-sized ships, but except for the two big ships that have just been launched, the others are old ships, and if they take routes such as the South Seas, I am afraid it will be very dangerous." In the hall of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Sanniang briefly introduced the current industry of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Hmm!" Zhou Zhong flipped through the account books of the Chamber of Commerce, and the ancient account books were all written in words, which was not the kind of table of later generations at all, which made Zhou Chong dizzy and unable to figure out the current financial situation of the Chamber of Commerce. After the last day, Zhou Zhong had to give up this futile move, put down the account book and asked Sanniang: "Sanniang, what is the income of these industries of the Chamber of Commerce now, and how much balance can there be at the end of the year?" ”
Hearing Zhou Chong's question, I saw Sanniang showing a wry smile and saying, "Young owner, where is the balance of the Chamber of Commerce?" It would be nice to be able to settle all the payments at the end of the year. ”
"Debt again?" I saw Zhou Zhong sighing, his face was full of helplessness, he had just paid off his family's debts, but he didn't expect that after taking over the Chamber of Commerce, he would have to pay off his debts, is it because he failed to pay off the bank's debts in his previous life, so he has to continue to repay his debts in this life?
