Yu Ren knew that he had reached a life-and-death situation, so without waiting for the two men to get close, he swept the hall legs, put the two down, and then pounced on Zhong Qi like a cheetah.

Zhong Qi was surprised, he didn't expect Yu Ren, a scholar who seemed to be weak, to reach out like this. It's a pity that he never likes to deal with scholars, so he hasn't heard of Yu Ren's martial arts competition with Li Xianzhong and them in Hangzhou, otherwise he wouldn't have done this today.

But now it's useless to regret it. Zhong Qi looked at Yu Ren who pounced on him in surprise, and was about to stand up and dodge, but he was kicked to the ground by Yu Ren, and the knife in his hand also fell to the ground.

"Come ......" Zhong Qi was a little panicked, and was about to call his subordinates to come in to help, but when he shouted, he felt a chill on his neck, and then he didn't know anything.

Yu Ren originally didn't plan to kill Zhong Qi, but he didn't expect that this Zhong Qi didn't know how to lift up, and he actually wanted to arrest him. Yu Ren was forced to be impatient, so he had to strike first.

At this time, the people outside the courtyard had already heard the sound of fighting in the courtyard, and more than a dozen people had rushed in with swords.

Yu Ren cut off Zhong Qi's head with a knife, held it in his hand, and rushed in to the crowd outside the door.

"I came here to take back Daqu Island on the secret order of Miss Li, but I didn't expect this Zhong Laoqi to disobey the order and want to be unfavorable to me. I had to kill him. This matter has nothing to do with you. Right now, Zhong Qi is dead. If you are willing to follow me, stay here. In the future, we will share blessings and difficulties.

If there are those who don't want to stay, I'll let them come and go. ”

As soon as Yu Ren finished saying this, no one from the dozen or so Zhong Qi who rushed into the courtyard stepped forward.

Yu Ren carried Zhong Qi's head and walked towards the door. Everyone then took the initiative to get out of the way.

When he came to the outside of the hospital, Shi Qian had already brought more than a dozen brothers who came with him. When the people brought by Zhong Qi heard the movement, they all gathered around.

Yu Ren still carried Zhong Qi's head, and said what he had just said in the courtyard to everyone again. These people saw that Zhong Qi was dead, and they didn't know what the future would be. Since Yu Ren said that he wanted to take them in, they were naturally willing. Yu Ren's reputation has long been heard of by these people, I don't know how many times stronger than Zhong Qi, he is kind and treats his subordinates well; I don't know how many times stronger I can follow him than I can follow Zhong Qi. As a result, many people not only didn't want to avenge Zhong Qi, but secretly rejoiced that they had a good master.

Just when Yu Ren thought that the situation had stabilized, five people suddenly jumped out of the crowd.

As soon as these people jumped out, without saying a word, they raised their knives and slashed at Yu Ren.

Shi Qian hurriedly brought more than a dozen brothers who came with him to surround these five people. The others all stepped back of their own accord, forming them in a large circle, but none of them stepped forward to help.

Seeing this, the five people shouted to everyone, "You ungrateful fellows, the Seventh Master usually treats you so well. Now that the Seventh Master has been killed by the enemy, you are all thinking about how to please the new master! You must know that Lord Yama has three eyes, and I, Wu Liang, will not let you go if I am a ghost. ”

Yu Ren sneered, "Zhong Laoqi doesn't stay in Nanji Mountain, but he wants to grab Miss Li's territory." This is his own death, but he has to take everyone to die together. Is that good for you, too? You need to know that Miss Li has asked Second Master Xu to bring dozens of warships. It's just that I don't want to see your former brothers, but now that they are fighting each other, I asked for an order to persuade him to withdraw from the island.

Unexpectedly, this Zhong Qi not only didn't listen, but actually wanted to kill me.

You also know Miss Li's methods. Dare to compete with her for territory, which one has a good result! Since the brothers know the current affairs, after a while, the second master Xu will come, and I will naturally protect everyone and not let the second master embarrass everyone. ”

The five Zhong Qi's sworn friends who were surrounded by Shi Qian shouted desperately, "Don't listen to this deception surnamed Yu, there are only a dozen of them, but we ......"

Before this person finished speaking, he had already been stabbed several times. Seeing that he didn't fall, Shi Qian added another knife to his neck, and then simply kicked him to the ground.

Seeing that these five Zhong Qi's cronies were put down one by one by Shi Qian, none of the onlookers stepped forward to stop them, and none of them stepped forward to help. Yu Ren glanced at everyone and saw that they were all holding the weapons in their hands, but none of them said a word. Knowing that they were all extremely nervous, the people who died in front of their eyes must have been brothers who had fought side by side with them.

Yu Ren waved his hand to Shi Qian, asked them to put away their knives, and then slowly walked towards everyone and said, "I know that the officers and soldiers have been withdrawn for more than ten days. The eldest lady's people have already inquired clearly. These officers and soldiers were all transferred to the area of Laideng, Shandong, to protect the Beijing division and fight against the Jurchens. It probably won't come back for a few years.

From now on, we can put down the days of licking blood and go back to my shipping business.

This time, I brought not only warships, but also many merchant ships. Miss Li's old department also came with me. In the future, we will work together and believe that we will soon return to the original prosperity. And this time, we have one more convenience. Xu Erye has accepted the court's recruitment, and we can use his name to buy a house and land if you are tired of being dry at sea and want to go ashore.

However, I would advise you to earn more money before you go ashore. After all, the women of this world are born to spend money, and in front of them, you may be stripped into guinea pigs. ”

When everyone heard Yu Ren's words, some people chuckled. As a result, the atmosphere that had just been tense to the extreme suddenly became much more relaxed. Someone began to put away the weapons in their hands. The ripple effect soon followed. The tense nerves on everyone's faces were also relaxed.

"Okay, let's not all stand here, leave ten people to clean, and the rest of the people, do whatever you have to do!" After speaking, Yu Ren casually pointed to the people closest to him, "Just a few of you stay and clean up!" Everyone else is gone, let's go! ”

The crowd dispersed. This shocking change was handled by Yu Ren.

Yu Ren asked Shi Qian to go and ask Xu Xinsu to go to the island. Because they had informed everyone in advance, Xu Xinsu's landing on the island did not bring too much panic to the pirates who had just lost their masters, but it confirmed that Yu Ren's previous words were true. It also made them believe even more that Yu Ren did not lie to them.

The next day, Yu Ren reunited the crowd and reorganized them. Yu Ren is now managing more and more people, and he feels more and more that the original method of randomly assigning individuals with a dozen or dozens of people is no longer working.

Therefore, according to the establishment of the modern army, Yu Ren divided them into a squad of ten people, four squads for a platoon, four platoons for a company, and so on. Then the leaders and deputy leaders at all levels were re-elected. Although the titles set by Yu Ren were obviously different from those of the Ming army, these people did not seem to be very repulsive to these unfamiliar titles, and they quickly adapted to them.

After stabilizing Daqu Mountain, Xu Xinsu sent Yu Ren with two hundred men to drive his large fortune boat to patrol the southeastern islands and announce his orders. The general meaning is that Miss Li temporarily returned to the East because of family matters, and now the southeast rivers and lakes will respect him Xu Xinsu as the leader of the alliance.

As for the business, it is still according to the old, and the division is still according to the old practice of the Li family, and there is a lot of everyone's. It's just that the rules are still the same, and if anyone dares to break the rules, then everyone will go together.

These pirates, big and small, who were floating on the islands, were frightened to death at first when they saw Yu Ren's Dafu ship, thinking that they had been sent by officers and soldiers to attack them.

When he heard Yu Ren's words, he was happy again.

The reason is very simple: in the southeast sea, after Miss Li went south to Luzon, this piece of sea rivers and lakes can be regarded as completely chaotic. Then a large number of officers and soldiers appeared, and it was the ban on the sea and the fight against pirates. It's enough to toss these little pirates who originally lived on the big tree of the Li family, and they wish that there would be a boss to lead them soon!

The Li family has fallen, the people of the Li family have left, and these pirates can only go back to their old ways. These people don't know how to do business, it turns out that the people who follow the Li family are only responsible for moving the goods, and Miss Li will divide them according to the amount of money she earns after each business is done. They don't care about other things like buying and shipping, and they don't understand it. After the Li family's people left, they couldn't do it even if they wanted to do business again.

In order to survive, they had to return to their old jobs and start robbing merchant ships at sea. But for a while, the officers and soldiers were so troubled that there were very few merchant ships. These pirates had a very difficult time because of this. Therefore, in their eyes, Yu Ren is not here to conquer them at all, but to rescue them.
