Chapter 113: Jianghu Gathering

However, because he was worried that Yu Ren would stay in Hangzhou, he was still not at ease after all. So, Liu Qiang discussed with Shopkeeper Xiao and sent someone to secretly take Yu Ren out of the city. Then they will be picked up in Hangzhou Bay. However, they also know that although this surnamed Liao is soft on the surface, it will never really be so easy to soften. Although he let Yu Ren and them go, he must secretly send another eyeliner to keep an eye on their every move at all times, to see who will connect with Yu Ren and them.

These are all expected in Li Ying's letter.

Therefore, the matter of taking over Yu Ren must not be carried out publicly, and what must be done is unaware. It's as if Yu Ren suddenly disappeared in the city of Hangzhou. Doing so can not only achieve the effect of picking up people, but also deter Liao Shixiang again.

As a result, there was the scene where Yu Ren was mysteriously taken out of the Yunjian Teahouse.

When Yu Ren heard this, he finally made the ins and outs of the matter roughly clear. Hearing that they picked him up and went to Daqu Island, Yu Ren was very happy, because he finally wanted to see Li Ying again.

This time the boat did not go very well, because the wind direction was not good, and they did not reach Daqu Island until the morning of the next day.

Before Qu Jing's boat docked, Yu Ren felt that something was wrong. I saw that the wharf, which was not too large, had stopped two or three hundred boats, large and small. The crowd coming and going on the pier also looks like most of them are high-rollers.

This made Yu Ren very confused and didn't know what was going on.

"...... this?" Yu Ren asked Qu Jing, who was standing beside him.

"Oh! I forgot to tell Brother Yu. The eldest lady arranged for Zhong Laosan to be tried in public on Daqu Island today. Therefore, almost all the owners of this southeastern island came. Brother Yu is the first hero to capture Zhong Laosan, so naturally he can't be absent. Qu Jing said with a smile. In fact, Qu Jing deliberately did not tell Yu Ren in advance. Because he was worried that if Yu Ren had known in advance that Zhong Laosan would be tried on Daqu Island today, he would not necessarily come. After all, Yu Ren is the son of an official eunuch, and it is very disadvantageous for him to openly mingle with a large group of pirates like this, if people know about it.

However, this is the purpose of Qu Jing. He just wanted to take this opportunity to let all the pirates know Yu Ren. In this way, even if Yu Ren wants to break ties with them in the future, it will be impossible. Qu Jing is a smart person, he naturally knows that the biggest obstacle between Li Ying and Yu Ren is their identity.

Therefore, Qu Jing wanted to completely pull Yu Ren into their pirate team. Let him be just like them, a real pirate.

Yu Ren was a little surprised. As Qu Jing expected. If he had known about it beforehand, he would not have come. Even if he wanted to see Li Ying, he would not choose to come at this time. Because of the experience of being arrested and imprisoned in Hangzhou City, Yu Ren also began to be a little vigilant in his heart. He knew that if the crime of this gangster was confirmed, he would not only be the victim, but even his relatives and friends would also be implicated.

Although he likes Li Ying, he doesn't want to get too close to these half-businessmen and half-thieves, because he knows that it will bring danger to his family and friends. He only hoped that he could return to Nanjing as soon as possible, and then discuss with his father, whom he had not met yet, to marry Li Ying. Then they can live a peaceful life.

This is Yu Ren's greatest wish, but even he understands that this idea is really unrealistic. Not to mention whether Li Ying can leave behind these tens of thousands of subordinates under him and go with him. Even if she could leave her men behind, could she leave her hatred behind and give up her revenge on Spain? Yu Ren is really not very confident.

Just when Yu Renxin was ape, the ship docked.

This time, there were not many people who came to pick up the boat, only Uncle Xiao Qi, who has now been promoted to the big boss of Daqu Island, was waiting for them at the dock with a few men.

Seeing that Uncle Xiao Qi came to pick up the boat in person, Yu Ren hurriedly walked a few steps quickly to catch up. "How dare you do this, and you have to ask your old man to pick us up in person."

Xiao Qibu waved his hand, "Yu Xianggong, don't be polite to me as an old man." You are now the benefactor of our Li family and our nobleman. Originally, the eldest lady was going to pick up in person, but there were too many distinguished guests on the island today. The eldest lady really couldn't pull out, so I had to take the eldest lady to pick up Yu Xianggong. ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Uncle Xiao Qi led everyone to a place.

This is where Li Ying helped him set up a celebration banquet last time. At this time, many straw huts were built in the open space, and a platform was also built in the middle.

Yu Ren saw many people sitting in the grass hut from a distance. Uncle Xiao Qi led Yu Ren and the others to the front left greenhouse.

There were six or seven people sitting in the shed at this time. Sitting in the middle was a middle-aged man in his mid-forties, with a face like water and a beautiful long beard. Behind him, stood two burly men, who knew at a glance that they were bodyguards. Sitting on the right side of the middle-aged man is a thin-looking man who looks very inconspicuous. Sitting on the left is Li Ying.

Li Ying was accompanied by only Ying'er alone.

Seeing Yu Ren and a few people coming in, Li Ying's face was overjoyed, and she got up to greet her. And the middle-aged man was still sitting still.

Li Ying saw Yu Ren and hurriedly introduced him.

"This is the second master Xu, the leader of our Daming maritime merchants, and also my second uncle. Second uncle, this is a new friend I have made, named Yu Ren. This time, we were able to capture Chen Qian Island and capture Zhong Laosan alive, and he was the first hero. Yu Ren spoke very politely.

When Yu Ren heard the three words Xu Erye, he finally knew. It turned out that the person in front of him was Xu Xinsu, whom he had always been famous for, but had never met.

When the middle-aged man heard Yu Ren's name, he sat up from his chair with a few smiles on his face. "It turned out to be Yu Xian's nephew! Not bad, not bad, outstanding talent, outstanding appearance. Ying'er, you really have a vision! ”

Li Ying's face flushed. "Second uncle made fun of it!"

At this time, the man who was not amazing who was originally sitting next to Xu Erye also stood up. Li Ying then introduced Yu Ren again, "This is Third Uncle Xu, Xu Hai." ”

That Xu Hai just nodded to Yu Ren and didn't speak. He knew that he was only a supporting actor on this occasion in front of him.

After a few polite words, Yu Ren sat down on a chair beside Li Ying.

At this time, someone from outside came to report that all the owners of the 36 islands had arrived, and asked if the meeting could begin.

Li Ying said to the man, "Then please sit down and get ready to start!" ”

After speaking, Li Ying stood up and said to Xu Xinsu, "Second uncle, third uncle, should we also go sit outside?" ”

Xu Xinsu stood up, "Okay, this Zhong Laosan is really hateful." Dare to openly confront us, if it weren't for Ying'er, you solved him with thunderous means at the very moment, everyone would have thought that he was secretly supported by my Xu Xinsu.

I can't think of it, I can't think of it! The court, which has always been cowardly, actually began to play against us. Ying'er, we should be more careful in the future. Those officers and soldiers, it is not terrible, what is terrible is that some of us secretly ventilate and guide the officers and soldiers. Such people are too dangerous! As long as we have such people here, maybe one day we will be in a different place! ”

Li Ying nodded repeatedly. "That's what the second uncle said. That's why I have such a public trial, just to let everyone see what happens to the traitor. ”

As they spoke, several people came outside. At this time, the platform has been set up. There were several rows of seats below, and all but seven or eight seats in the front row were empty. However, there were so many people here today, although there were more than a hundred seats, they were completely insufficient, and there were a lot of people standing behind them. Those who can have seats are almost always leaders with heads and faces.

Seeing Li Ying and Xu Xinsu coming out of the grass hut, everyone consciously stood up. As a few people sat down in the front seats, a small leader walked over.

"Report to the leader, the guests have arrived, can you bring people?"

"Bring someone with you!" Li Ying waved her hand.

After a while, I saw six or seven soldiers of the Li family carrying knives, escorting a group of men, women and children with twenty or thirty people to the stage. Most of the men were women and children, and there were only three men. Yu Ren asked Qu Jing, who was sitting on the side, to know that the other two men were Zhong Laosan's younger brothers. And these women and children are also the wives and children of their Zhong family.
