Chapter 237: Death in the Nest
Yan Hong's words were originally not very bad. He thought according to the logic of negotiation in his previous life, if he leaked his hole cards as soon as he came up, it would inevitably make Xu Hai rely on it, but he was afraid that the other party would ask for a price. Therefore, he first had to intimidate the other party and remind Xu Hai that I kept your head, and I could also ask it to move. In this way, the other party can be at his own disposal and obediently be an obedient chess piece in the great cause of opening the sea. How do you know that these words are too lethal, coupled with He Zhang's reckless actions and Liang Rufei's escort, they actually directly put down Wang Cuiqiao.
Yan Hong saw that the man was not frightened, but the woman fell down, and hurriedly said: "Don't be stupid, it's important to rescue my Sister Cuiqiao." The words came out, but he saw that Xu Wenchang had already taken a step forward, helped Cui Qiao up, and handed it into the hands of the panicked and tearful green beads. On the other hand, he also spat on He and Zhang Ersha, who fell to the ground: "A brave and unscrupulous horseman!" Luzhu, don't cry, when Xu Hai's head really moves, it's not too late to cry again. ”
Xu Hai saw that Yan Hong cared so much about his wife, but he even believed that what the two virtuous brothers said was true. He hated the other party for being shameless and forcibly taking away his wife, but he was happy that Cui Qiao could get a good home. After all, this imprisonment made him understand that his sea hero was really nothing in the Ming Dynasty. The galloping of the sea is all the power under certain conditions. When it comes to the mainstream society, a seven-grade county order can cost you your life. Let Cui Qiao follow him to suffer and be frightened, but it is really better to follow the elder grandson of the pavilion to be a concubine and enjoy the wealth of the world. What's more, he knew that his wife was very good at flattery, and it was very possible to be alone in the inner house in the future.
In addition, Xu Hai fell in the Shanyin County Prison, knowing that neither Lin Yangqian nor Li Wenzao would let him go, so he had already saved the heart of death, and only hoped to die in a dignified manner, not to fall into the hands of that group of jailers and villains, and be humiliated and die by unknown circumstances. Therefore, when he heard Yan Hong's words that were similar to the death sentence, he was not as angry as Zhang Ersha, and he was not as panicked as Wang Cuiqiao.
He only regarded Yan Hong's high-sounding rhetoric as harming himself in order to occupy Cuiqiao. Anyway, there was only one life, so he didn't get up, but arched his hand and said: "General Yan, Master Xu, I, Xu Hai, know that I have a deep sin, and I can't atone for my sins by dying a hundred times." Ever since I entered the prison in Sanyin County, I have been gritting my teeth when I listen to the prison guards occasionally talk about the Japanese invaders. Thinking back to what I did, I really didn't have a face again. This time, the general rescued me from the prison in Shanyin County, and saved me from the pain of being tortured to death by Li Wenzao's old thief, which was a great kindness to Xu Hai. If the general wanted Xu Hai's head, Xu Hai was willing to offer it with both hands, and let the general hang it in front of the gate to make the people angry. My wife, Cuiqiao, misses the old love very much. She is unforgettable in the past, and the general should not be suspicious of her. After you kill me, I only hope that you will treat Cui Qiao and the fetus in her womb well, and Xu will die even if he misses the kindness of his son. ”
Wang Cuiqiao, who had just fainted to the ground, was pinched and rubbed by Xu Wenchang on his face and body, and he had already woken up at this time. Hearing her husband say this, where did she react for a while, she cried so much that she was so sad that she had to crawl over and kneel in front of Yan Hong again. Xu Wenchang said angrily: "Tell you to take care of yourself, do you dare not listen to Xu's words?" Holding Wang Cuiqiao with both hands, where could she afford to struggle. Wang Cuiqiao still stretched out his hand towards Yan Hong, crying and begging: "Brother Hong, Brother Hong, as long as you let Xu Lang not die, my sister will follow you for everything." If you are suspicious, I can swear that I will never see Xu Lang again in this life, but if you insist on harming Xu Lang's life, my sister will kill herself in front of your eyes, and she will never follow your wishes. ”
Yan Hong saw that he had put down two of them, made two of them cry, and there was a Xu Hai who looked like he was about to be killed, a bully who robbed the people's girls and broke up other people's families, he was still the standard anti-one, and he couldn't help but be very angry. I want to explain it, but I don't know how to explain it.
However, when Xu Wenchang saw this embarrassing scene, he sneered, let go of Wang Cuiqiao, first kicked Zhang Wu who fell to the ground, and then walked up to Xu Hai and spitted: "You bandits on the sea, you were bold when you killed people and sold goods, but now when the matter is coming, you are all such a wretch, even more timid than the village husbands and women who were burned and looted by you!" If Yan Xianggong really wants to take your Xu Hai's life, does he need to go through such a lot of trouble? Cui Qiao, such a brainless wolf, is it really worth your search for death and life? ”
Xu Wenchang drank like this, Wang Cuiqiao was smart after all, but he also came back to his thoughts. Yan Hong also took the opportunity to say: "Sister, brother, my mind has already made it clear to you on the canal, why do you still say such things today?" It really makes it difficult for me to be a man. Well, sister-in-law, get up, I have something to say to you. Four old men, please drag these two dead sharks out of the gang first, lest they wake up and make noise again. ”
The four general banners also knew that Liang Rufei was strong in martial arts, and Xu Hai had been in prison for many days, so it was expected that even if he wanted to hurt people, he would be difficult to defeat Liang Rufei. So, he was relieved to drag He and Zhang out of the city.
Xu Wenchang touched Luzhu's hair again and said, "Little Luzhu, you should also go out." It's not something you can hear about discussing state affairs here. Your young lady, there are two people surnamed Xu here, and I can't afford to suffer a loss. ”
Lu Zhu had also met Xu Wenchang at the beginning, and knew that he had a very good relationship with his own young lady. Although he suspected that he might be guarding and stealing, he didn't want to say anything, glanced at Wang Cuiqiao, and then at Xu Hai, and obediently retreated.
In this way, there are only five people left in the room: Xu Hai, Wang Cuiqiao, Yan Hong, Xu Wenchang and Liang Rufei.
Xu Hai listened to Yan Hong call his sister-in-law, and listened to the other party's words, as if he had recognized his sister and brother with Wang Cuiqiao, and had no selfish feelings. Nevertheless, he refused to believe it in his heart. At that time, the so-called godsisters and brothers were the most known in the Qinglou, not to mention a beautiful beauty like Wang Cuiqiao, and they also asked Yan Hong. If it is said that they have been together for many days and have not been involved in personal affairs, this is too pure literature and art. He is a pirate who kills people and oversells goods, but how can he believe it? It's just that since the other party said so, it's not easy for him to break it.
After everyone sat down, Yan Hong said: "Don't hide it, my sister-in-law, your incident is a big one, but it is not something that I can bear with my little brother." ”
Xu Wenchang snorted early: "Yan Huhou, what you said is polite. What is making a big fuss, this widow doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and it doesn't matter if he plays with his head, he almost ruined Hu Lao Duxian's plan to pacify the widows, and let thousands of soldiers and civilians along the coast be poisoned by him! After that, he glared at Xu Hai fiercely.
Xu Hai was scolded by Xu Wenchang, and knew that what he did was inappropriate, so he had to bow his head and remain silent.
Yan Hong saw that Xu Wenchang was constantly being a villain, and he was very grateful in his heart, and immediately smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, you are really in trouble, but the old thief Li Wenzao is also really hateful." Besides, my sister-in-law's suffering is enough. Not to mention, brother, I think about it carefully, even if my sister-in-law wants to find an innocent background for my sister, it is not a way to recruit and receive a private appointment like Hu Lao Duxian. But I want to really come back for my sister and sister, and ask for a holy decree to recruit peace, so that I can live with peace of mind. But this holy decree cannot be discussed in vain after all. ”
Hearing him say this, Xu Hai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, but then his heart rose again. What Yan Hong said is not unreasonable, those with as much authority as Hu Zongxian can't cover the sky with one hand in Jiangnan, and they can't keep them safe, a little Lin Yangqian can slap Hu Zongxian's face and arrest Xu Hai, not to mention that Xu Hai has already become a fire and water with the prefect Li Wenzao. Even if there is not so much hatred, just living in Jiangnan, if it is possible to be imprisoned at any time as a Japanese coward who everyone can kill, then what is the meaning of this Zhao'an?
And Yan Hong's last sentence did not hide his meaning at all. Yan Hong can do Zhao'an for Xu Hai, but this matter is by no means a matter of friendship help. Only talk about transactions, don't talk about feelings. However, Xu Hai thought about it, what kind of high power is Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet behind Yan Hong? I heard that in order to protect Xu Hai's life this time, Wang Cuiqiao has already given most of the gold, silver and jewelry of the Xu family that has been stained with blood for many years to Lu Bing, so how can he still have the money to buy this serious Zhao'an holy decree?
Xu Hai was worried here, but Wang Cuiqiao smiled and said: "The holy decree naturally can't be in vain, and Brother Hong can't be in vain." But I don't know if our charming little green beads are worth a holy decree? ”
When Xu Hai heard this, he suddenly felt that his wife was smart. If you can really exchange this little maid for a holy decree, for Xu Hai, it will definitely be a good deal. What's more, if the other party really accepted the green beads, he wouldn't beat his own mother's idea again, right? So he hurriedly echoed and said: "Yes, Yan Gongzi, the green bead girl is still a virgin, and her appearance has also passed, I don't know what you think of Yan Gongzi?" ”
Yan Hong secretly thought that Luzhu was not worth it, you were obsessed with this uncle, and you were treated as a cargo and gently sent out. He waved his hand and sneered: "Sister and brother-in-law, you have a good plan." The green bead girl is certainly a first-class stunner, but unfortunately if this kind of stunner is taken to the Qinglou, it is worth hundreds of taels of silver. If He Qi, Zhang Wu and others were held by the government, they might be able to exchange this silver for a life. But how can this small number be exchanged for a holy decree? Don't mention such thoughts! ”
Wang Cuiqiao had a long conversation with Yan Hong all the way on the canal before, but he roughly knew Yan Hong's thoughts. I said that I would send green beads before, but it was just a half-joke. Now he deliberately asked: "Brother Hong, most of the gold and silver in my sister's and sister-in-law's house have been counted, and there is really not much left." The most valuable thing is this green bead girl. But you don't want it, so what more? ”
Yan Hong smiled again: "Ask me what I want, but I have to get the prophet Sister Lu Dao, what else do you have." Of course, it is not so easy to change the holy decree. Well, my brother-in-law will tell me about your work at sea. Between you and me, we must first know everything and say everything before we can talk about the rest of the matter. ”
