In the northeast of Daishan Island, after Daqushan Island, it is now the Shengsi Islands. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A two-masted schooner rides the waves on the sea, followed by three sloops.

On the two-masted sailing ship, Song Liben stood on the bow of the ship in a shabby road suit, and the crew behind him were also dressed in shabby clothes, and their goal was South Ma'anshan Island.

These four ships, as well as the nearly 100 people on board, were tasked with finding out the details of the big pirate Gu Rong and breaking into the inside of Gu Rong's pirate gang if possible. After careful discussion between Ren Siqi and Song Liben, Song Liben disguised himself as a pirate and led people towards South Ma'anshan Island, which was only more than twenty miles away from Gu Rong's old nest, Sijiao Mountain.

Not long ago, Gu Rong gathered thousands of pirates to attack Chongming Island, killed the Chongming garrison, and after plundering it, he sailed into the sea before the army of Wang Zhiren, the general soldier of the anti-Japanese army, and fled without a trace.

In fact, his old nest is in Sijiao Mountain, but Sijiao Mountain is far away from the mainland, and when it is barren, there are hundreds of islands in the Shengsi Islands, and it is extremely difficult to encircle and suppress them, so the officials and soldiers pretend not to know their whereabouts. And after Gu Rong made a fortune, he didn't care about himself, and disappeared to enjoy the fruits of his looting.

Since Song Liben was in charge of intelligence work, it was easy to find out Gu Rong's whereabouts.

After half a day's travel, the four sailing boats finally arrived at South Ma'anshan Island. It is a large island several miles long and wide, and is the second largest island in the Shengsi Islands, but because it is far from the mainland, there are very few inhabitants on the island, only a small fishing village near the wharf bay, with one or two hundred inhabitants.

When he saw four sailing boats coming, a fishing boat took the initiative to meet him and came forward to talk.

"Did Master Gu send you here?" At the bow of the fishing boat, a young man shouted.

"It's bandits, too! Sink him. Song Liben shook his head and gave an order in a deep voice.

The rudder of the two-masted galleons turned slightly, and the bow of the ship rushed towards the fishing boat, and the fishing boat on the opposite side was startled, hurriedly turned, and finally avoided the impact of the two-masted sailing boat. However, there were three sloops behind the brig, and the sloop was also one size larger than the fishing boat, and one sloop hit the bow of the fishing boat, and the fishing boat spun and overturned, and the four or five fishermen on it jumped into the sea in a hurry.

Amid the laughter of the crew, four sailing ships rushed into the bay, and fifty or sixty sturdy sailors went ashore under the leadership of Song Liben.

"May I ask which island are you heroes? This is the territory of Gu Da's master, you can't mess around! An old man in his fifties from the fishing village greeted him and shouted at Song Liben.

"What Gu Da is in charge, Gu Er is in charge, we don't know." Song Liben sneered, "Our surname is Song, you can call me Song Da Master, I will open a mountain and set up a cabinet here in the future, as long as your village pays me tribute, I will keep you safe!" ”

"This Song master, I'm afraid you don't know, this hundreds of miles of ocean is under the banner of the big boss, if you want to open a mountain here, I'm afraid you have to agree to the big boss." The old man kindly persuaded.

"Quack!" Song Liben snorted, and a widow behind him snatched it out, and a bright sword was placed on the old man's neck, and the old man panicked.

"I told you, I don't know any Gu Da in charge Gu Er, and if you make any more noise, I'll kill you!"

With a wave of Song Liben's hand, fifty or sixty of his men followed him towards the fishing village, and the old man was escorted to the front of the team.

The villagers of the fishing village did not resist, because their number was too small, and the whole total was only more than a hundred, and there were only thirty or forty real strong men, how could they be the opponents of a heavily armed enemy?

Song Liben did not really kill and loot, but occupied the largest house in the village, ordered the villagers to gather at the head of the village, and announced in public that from now on this Ma'anshan Island is the territory of his Song family, and he took the nickname "Timely Rain", comparing this Ma'anshan Island to Shuibo Liangshan, and comparing himself to Song Gongming.

The villagers watched Song Liben's performance in silence, and several sturdy fishermen looked at each other from time to time, with playful smiles on their faces.

After the performance, Song Liben announced that each family must pay two taels of silver and fifty catties of grain as a congratulatory gift to the Song family.

"This, Song Da is in charge, the island is really barren, and you can't take out so much food, do you think you can pay less?" The old man pleaded with a bitter face.

"What! If you don't pay, do you look down on Song? Well! With Song Liben's words, the Japanese man behind him, Yamada Futaro, put the Japanese knife on the old man's neck again.

"Deliver, can't we hand it over!" The sharp blade was clamped around his neck, and the old man was about to cry in fright, and he agreed repeatedly.

"Everyone, go home and get food and money, and pay them over." After the old man was released, he greeted him loudly. Perhaps he was too prestigious among the villagers, who were dissatisfied and muttered that they went home.

"Dad, why do we really give them money and food?" A sturdy fisherman followed behind the old man, muttering in a low voice as he went.

"Stupid, don't you see that they are some foreign raw melons and eggs, even Gu Da Boss doesn't know, what if we don't give them money and food? Let them go to every house and rob it? The old man scolded in a low voice.

"Is it just cheap, they can't do it?" The sturdy fisherman dissatisfied.

"How can it be cheap for them, wait until the second half of the night, you take a few people to secretly take a boat to Sijiao Mountain, go to report to Gu Da's family, and let Gu Da's family send someone to destroy this group." The old man commanded. The sturdy man nodded again and again.

The fishermen paid the money and grain very quickly, and it didn't take much effort, nearly two hundred taels of silver, and nearly two thousand catties of grain were placed in front of Song Liben.

Looking at the money and food in front of them, Song Liben and the others were a little dazed, this is too fast to be a pirate, no wonder so many people are pirates.

"I didn't think your village was so rich?" Song Liben said to the old man with a smile.

"Where, where! For the sake of this money and food, many people are afraid that they will go bankrupt. The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly.

Song Liben pursed his lips, this overseas desert island does not produce much food, under normal circumstances, the fishermen are very poor, and the fishermen here can come up with such a large fortune in a short period of time, which only shows one problem, that is, they are also pirates, they are all members of Gu Rong's pirate gang, and this money and grain are probably robbed from Chongming Island.

Although he knew the truth in his heart, Song Liben didn't say much, waved his hand and sent the old man out, and took his subordinates to live in this big mansion.

At night, a full moon rises in the east, and the bright moonlight shines like water over the island. Several figures sneaked out of the village, came to the sea, got on a fishing boat, and rowed the oars to the depths of the sea. (To be continued.) )
