"Go! Go to the treasury and take out a thousand taels of silver and give it to our hundred households! ”

The prefect has to give in now.

So he commanded the servants beside him, that they should go in quickly and get the money out.

Wait until the hundred households Chen Xiuchang and they get the silver, so that they can deal with those Haikou as soon as possible.

Now that his goal has been achieved, Chen Xiuchang is too lazy to stimulate the prefect.

As long as he can get the silver, Chen Xiuchang doesn't care about other things at all.

Soon, several family members carried two small wooden boxes and placed them on the steps of the yamen gate.

Fifty taels and one ingots, a total of twenty large silver ingots.

Chen Xiu tilted his head, and a few soldiers immediately walked out of his side.

The soldiers walked to the wooden box and opened the lid of the box, and then after carefully inspecting it, they turned around and nodded at Chen Xiuchang to indicate that there was no problem.

"Lord Prefect, let's put the villain first and then the gentleman. Now that we have received your money, we will not delay our efforts here. ”

Chen Xiuchang sat on the horse, hugged his fist at Zhang Shoushan and arched his hand, and then shook the reins and opened the horse's hooves.

And the soldiers who followed behind Chen Xiuchang were not listless at this time, but they were all fierce.

Because they all know the Tao, the Lord of the Hundred Households has already received the silver from the Lord of the Prefect. As long as they have dealt with those pirates, everyone will be able to divide the money when they return to the guardhouse.

So, at this time, they are all very excited.

Just like Chen Xiuchang said, there are still a few days to go before the New Year, and they are all poor and dingling, and they don't know how to spend this year.

Now that I have this money, I can at least let my family live a comfortable New Year.

As for those pirates, what does it matter if they are outlaws.

No matter how ruthless they are, can they beat the soldiers of the guard?

Chen Xiuchang asked a few soldiers to escort the silver back to the guard station first. He took the rest of the men and began to march towards the street where the commissioner had hidden, leaving behind him the prefect with gritted teeth.

Chen Xiuchang didn't need to look back to know that now this prefect might not know how to curse himself in his heart.

But he doesn't care about these at all, as long as he can get silver from his hands, anyway, let him scold a few pounds and not lose a few pounds of meat.

Besides, even if he scolds, the prefect can only scold in his heart.

If you can't hear it, you just treat it as if nothing happened.

Hey!

The silver in hand is the real thing.

"My lord, what are we going to do with those pirates in a while?"

As he went, one of his henchmen asked in a whisper.

Chen Xiuchang sneered: "These Haikou are actually in Yangzhou City to make trouble. Apparently getting impatient too. In that case, let's just be good people and send them on the road. But you explain, let the brothers be smart, don't put your life here, now we got the silver from the dog officer, and after solving these pirates, everyone will share the silver, and you can spend the New Year comfortably. ”

Although Chen Xiuchang and the prefect Zhang did not deal with each other, he still hated Haikou for making trouble here in Yangzhou.

Now that he has brought people here, it is impossible to let go of those pirates.

The henchman understood when he heard Chen Xiuchang say this.

But. Chen Xiuchang continued: "Look at Wang Qingshan first, I want to live this guy." This time, the dog officer made such a big move, because of this guy. We have even greater good in him. ”

His soldiers have already inquired clearly. After Chen Xiuchang knew some of the things behind this matter, it was impossible for him not to plan it.

Why can you Zhang Shoushan reap the benefits, but I Chen Xiuchang can't?

Now that I have such an opportunity, if I can't grasp it, Chen Xiuchang. That's a real idiot.

Wang Qingshan is a Haikou leader, and the prefect Zhang Shoushan wants to get the location of this guy's wealth from him, but he doesn't have the hand yet.

So. This person might as well take over on his own.

Chen Xiuchang played his own little abacus, and he was very proud in his heart.

When the time comes, Zhang Shoushan can only suffer a loss.

Master Wang didn't know what to do, now it was not only the prefect who regarded him as a big fish who could get a lot of wealth from him, but now even the hundred households of the guard began to think so.

If Master Wang knew that he was like this in the eyes of these people, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.

The tavern where the princes were hiding was not very far from the Yamen, that is, four streets away.

After all, at that time, the affairs officer and several of them ran out of the prefect's yamen with Wang Fuzi, because they couldn't run too far because of Wang's relationship.

Therefore, Chen Xiuchang and his soldiers quickly came to the periphery of the tavern surrounded by Bei.

And the master, who was at a loss, saw the guards coming over, and suddenly a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

In his opinion, as long as the men of the guard arrived, then the pirates in the tavern would not have to worry about them.

"Let's let go, let's borrow!"

The soldiers who opened the road drove the onlookers to both sides of the road.

Yo!

Even the guards have come, and it seems that those pirates really can't escape now.

When they saw the appearance of the guards, the onlookers began to discuss.

There is a relatively low-grade green building diagonally opposite the left side of the tavern, and on the second floor of the green building called 'Ruyi Garden', there are still a lot of girls leaning on the railing to look at this side.

These girls chatted while munching on melon seeds.

From their faces, you can't see how scared and apprehensive they are about to happen, but there is still a little excitement.

Some scoundrels kept chatting downstairs, but unfortunately the girls upstairs didn't pay attention to them at all.

In the crowd of onlookers, there was also the sound of snacks being sold from time to time.

"What's the situation now?"

After Chen Changsleeve came to the master's side, he turned over and dismounted and came to his side and asked.

"Those pirates have been blocked in the tavern, but they have set up some barriers at the door, so we can't storm them." The master is still able to speak, but he didn't say that the officials were not strong.

Meantime. Originally, it was the clerk who hid in the tavern by himself, but in his words, it turned out that it was the big guy who surrounded them.

It's a slight change, but the meaning is completely different.

Chen Xiuchang didn't bother to bother with his master about the text, he carefully observed the obstacles at the door of the tavern.

The door to the tavern is not big, and the windows are not big, so it is a bit of a hassle to get in. The obstacles blocked the windows and doorways, and if they were to attack them, a few people would be injured.

However, Chen Xiuchang only frowned, but he didn't think that this matter could not be solved.

You must know that a few of these soldiers under his command have seen blood in Liaodong.

Therefore. Compared to those waste-like servants, it is much stronger.

At least, the soldier he brought with him didn't show any fear.

"The opponent has four firearms in his hands, which is why we don't dare to attack." , Master didn't know what the Lord of the Hundred Households was thinking, and he continued to introduce the situation of the 'Sea Bandits' in the tavern to the Lord of the Hundred Households.

What the! The other party has four firecrackers in his hand!

The information provided by the master made Chen Xiuchang's heart tremble.

As an ordinary person, he may not know much about the power of the firebolt, but as a person who has fought with the Jurchens on the battlefield in Liaodong, he really knows the power of the firebolt too well.

"Damn. How can these pirates have firecrackers in their hands! ”

Chen Xiuchang frowned tightly, obviously this matter was beyond his expectations.

Originally, he thought that the pirates he was going to deal with would be easy to solve. But I never thought that these pirates would have a bird gun.

This weapon is different from a cold weapon.

A sword slash on a body may not kill you all at once, but a weapon like a firearm can.

When fighting with the Jurchens in Liaodong, he had seen many times when the Ming firecrackers shot down the fierce Jurchen cavalry from their horses, especially when cleaning the battlefield. The tragic situation of those Jurchen cavalry who had not yet died was still fresh in his memory.

"My lord, if the other party has a firearm in his hand. It's not easy for us to attack. If we attack by force, we will have brothers who may die. ”

The cronies standing beside Chen Xiuchang reminded him in a whisper.

The master standing on the other side did not make a sound.

Now people are talking about their own affairs, and it is difficult for him to intervene as an outsider.

"After receiving the money, we have to do things, we still have to pay attention to this rule. But this is not a small matter, let's ask the brothers what they mean. After all, if it starts in a while, no one knows that Lu Dao will leave his name here. ”

After thinking about it, Chen Xiuchang said helplessly to his cronies.

The cronies also understand that now that they have received the prefect's money, it is not good to go back like this.

Otherwise, they won't have a place to stand in the future.

After all, no matter how bad the prefect is, he is also a civil official.

When the time comes, his mouth crooked, is not something that these people can bear.

And after receiving the money to do things, even if Zhang Shoushan wants to find trouble in the future, he has nothing to pick.

"Okay! I'll ask the big guy what he means and see. ”

The cronies nodded, quickly turned around and walked over to the soldiers, and began to tell them about the situation they were going to face.

Chen Xiuchang also turned around, wanting to walk over to the soldiers he had brought. At the same time, he thought to himself: Holy shit, this silver is still a little hot to hold!

"My lord, is it true? Those pirates in the tavern have firecrackers!? ”

When the soldiers saw Chen Xiuchang coming over, they gathered around and asked this question. (To be continued......)
