Chapter 155: Black Pearl Pirates VS Taizhou Sailors
"Shameless."
The head of the Langya Wang family threw the blackmail letter on the ground, trembling with anger, he was the head of the Langya Wang family, the king and the horse, the Langya Wang family in the world, how could he have been insulted like this, this Langya Wang family head is just one of them, and there are also Langya Xiao family, Huiji Xie family, the two of them were also robbed by the Black Pearl Pirates this time, when they received the ransom letter, they behaved the same as the Langya Wang family master, and they couldn't wait to smash the table.
"Who's sending the letter, why don't you arrest someone soon?"
The head of the Langya Xiao family ordered his housekeeper, but the butler's answer left him speechless.
"The messenger was a child, and someone gave him a piece of candy, and he sent it."
"This ......"
The face of the Langya Xiao family's main family turned green, and he was speechless.
"Head of the house, are you still arrested?"
"Scratch, scratch, what to catch, let people know, I don't know that our Langya Xiao scholarly sect has done something that even children don't let go."
"Yes."
After hearing this, the housekeeper responded and stepped aside, thinking, it was you who said that it was you who was arrested, and it was you who said that it was not arrested, old thing, it seems that this time he was really angry, can the head of the Langya Xiao family not be angry? It's really like Liu Youyu thought, his chief in charge of the fleet lives or dies, he doesn't care at all, he just feels sorry for the wealth of his twenty-three ships, no, it's twenty, he doesn't know that three of them were sunk by the storm, because the extortion letter didn't write it, twenty-three ships are half of his family's fleet, how can it be so easy to build ships, now it's okay, the ship is gone, and the people are still detained, the more Langya Xiao thinks about it, the more angry he becomes.
"Then what kind of black pearl pirate group is coming again, why haven't you heard of it, didn't you say that those stinky pirates were all wiped out by Li Yong's kid? How could such a group of pirates come again? ”
"Master of the house, pirates are like this, no matter how they are destroyed, they are like weeds, one is destroyed, and the other comes out again, as for this black pearl pirate group, the villain has never heard of it, it should be a newly established pirate."
The housekeeper thought for a while and replied, the head of the Langya Xiao family felt that what the housekeeper said was very reasonable, he had been operating the sea trade for many years, and he knew the bad things about pirates, those pirates were hungry wolves who couldn't be fed, and they used to take their own benefits and not shoot his fleet, but since the previous pirates disappeared inexplicably, he judged that those pirates were destroyed by Li Yong, and now the pirates who appear also want the housekeeper to say, it is a new pirate, in fact, Langya Xiao and the housekeeper guessed about the same, The Black Pearl Pirate Regiment was indeed in the city, but what they never expected was that this group of pirates was ordered by Li Yong to rob them, the Jiangnan Shi clan.
"Then can we give them some sea fees according to the previous method, and don't target our fleet?"
The butler nodded and said.
"You can give it a try, I believe they know very well what price they will have to pay for opposing us."
"Okay then, you go talk to them, and it doesn't matter if the price is high."
"Yes, head of the house, but what about those who are kidnapped?"
Langya Xiao had a headache when he heard this, and he held his forehead and said.
"You go talk to them and ask them to put ours back, and if they won't, let them rat tail juice."
After clarifying the instructions of the head of the house, the housekeeper left the house and rushed to the place where the pirates paid the ransom, and Langya Xiao saw that after the housekeeper left, he thought about something, so he shouted.
"Xiao Feng, you go to find the Taizhou water master, and say that I will find him to come to Fuzhong tonight."
After a young boy listened, he respectfully bowed to the head of the Langya Xiao family and left, and the housekeeper of the Langya Xiao family came to the agreed place, although there was moonlight in the night, but he only saw a man in leather armor in the pavilion in a daze (in ancient times, there was night blindness, so it was normal for him to see clearly. )。
"In Xialangya Xiao's housekeeper, may I ask this lord's surname?"
The Langya Xiao clan housekeeper hugged his fists and gave a salute to the man in the pavilion, the man in the pavilion was actually the second child of the Black Pearl Pirate Group, he was responsible for collecting the ransom this time, but these three families were not the same place, so he had to dock with the leader of the Jiangnan Shi clan, Langya Xiao, and the other two families were handed over to his henchmen to do, because he believed that there was no problem with the other two under his command, and the difficult thing to deal with was the Langya Xiao clan in front of him, and he could fall into it if he was not careful.
"The rules of the road, the housekeeper should understand, so what is my name, don't ask, what about the money?"
The second child was very unceremoniously and went straight to the knife, and the housekeeper was also an old man, he said with a slight smile.
"This master, we understand the rules, but isn't it bad that you robbed our Langya Xiao clan's ship?"
"Don't talk nonsense, give money and release people, if you don't want to ransom people, then say goodbye."
The second brother clenched his fists and was about to leave, but the housekeeper said very calmly.
"This lord, don't be impatient, this time I came with the sincerity of the head of the Langya Xiao family, this time, we Langya Xiao do not plan to pursue it, even if our Langya Xiao family gives you a meeting gift, I just hope to have a good fate."
The second child, who was about to leave, stopped and asked curiously.
"Oh? So, do you Langya Xiao want to pay us the sea fee? Let's protect your fleet, is that what you mean? ”
"Yes, in the future, we will give you 50,000 taels of silver every month as a sea fee, I just hope that your group can open up the net and not attack our Langya Xiao fleet, how about it?"
Hearing that there is a protection fee of 50,000 taels of silver, it is silver, not copper money, and the second child is a little smacked when he hears it, how much profit does this sea trade have? But he didn't forget the mission he had come to this time.
"Yes, but I have to go back and discuss this matter with my eldest brother before I can give you an answer, but one yard is one yard, I only came to collect the ransom this time, if you Langya Xiao don't want to ransom people, then I will leave, and I don't have to waste everyone's time."
"Please wait a moment, our Langya Xiao clan has expressed sincerity, I hope you will also express your sincerity, we hope that you will unconditionally release our ships and people, you also know that in this sea area, you are not the only one, there are also Taizhou sailors of the imperial court."
The second child couldn't hear the butler's threat, and he sneered.
"Can I understand that it's just your Langya Xiao Clan's threat? Or do you want to officially become an enemy of our Black Pearl Pirates? If that's the case, then we'll see. ”
After the second child finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the housekeeper wanted to stop him.
"Please wait......"
"Butler, you don't have to act, do you think I know you're stalling? The sailors of Taizhou and the officers and soldiers of the Taizhou Thorn Mansion are almost here, right? But your tricks are ridiculous, let's see the truth at sea, goodbye. ”
The second brother left here while talking, and after seeing the second child leave, the housekeeper was very bland, he knew that he had failed, and he also knew what he was facing next, that is, the endless attacks of these pirates, if the sailors of Taizhou could not eliminate these pirates, their fleet of Langya Xiao was a disaster, but in his experience, the sailors of Taizhou wanted to eliminate the pirates, it was simply nonsense, those sailors had been corrupted to the point that they could only bully the common people, and it would be good to go to sea to fight pirates, and not to be ended by pirates. When the young man named Xiao Feng came with the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division and the officers and soldiers of the Yamen, there was only one housekeeper at the scene, and Xiao Feng wanted the housekeeper to salute and say.
"Uncle Wang, what about people?"
The butler named Uncle Wang shook his head, then turned away and said
"Fifth young master, you can take someone back, this negotiation failed, I need to go back and discuss with the head of the family."
For this uncle Wang, who is just a housekeeper, the five young masters of the Langya Xiao family are respectful, that is because everyone in the Langya Xiao family knows that this Wang housekeeper is the henchman of the head of the family, and when the previous head of the family was still alive, this uncle Wang was the housekeeper of the Langya Xiao family, so his status is not lower than those young masters, but he is just low-key, after listening to Uncle Wang's story, the head of the Langya Xiao family closed his eyes and said
"Alas, it's really a headache, what to do next, you can do it, destroy these pirates no matter what, just give me a result."
"Yes."
Uncle Wang still responded yes and retreated, he looked down on the current head of the family, if it wasn't for the head of the family back then, Tuo Gu asked him to assist, he would have left this Xiao family a long time ago, because of these, the taste of Langya Xiao and those Jiangnan scholars has changed, and it has become rotten wood, rotten rotten wood, no longer just a scholar who studied and studied back then, and now a corrupt family is addicted to money, he is very distressed, but there is no way, he can only do his best to make the family's demise slower and slower, the second one has failed, But it was not completely fruitless, he still received the ransom paid by the steward's family, but the other two places did not receive anything, it is conceivable that those have given them up, even the two stewards have given up, because they are busy dividing the family property, the second child took and his men to board his own boat, and then rushed back to Chiweiyu to report to Liu Youyu, after listening to the second child's report, Liu Youyu did not react, because these were all expected by him.
"Boss, are we going to guard against the Imperial Court Sailors?"
Liu Youyu shook his hand and said.
"There's no need, it's inevitable that we will fight with the sailors, you and I know what virtues these sailors have, not to mention that we are pirates, they are good at finding us, so don't worry."
The second child nodded when he heard this.
"So what do we do next? What to do with those people? ”
"It's easy to deal with, the one who paid the ransom let him go, those who didn't pay it are our people from today on, didn't we seize a lot of boats? Let the adults light the sails for us, and then let the captains and crew do it with us, you know how. ”
The second child's eyes lit up when he heard this, how could he not understand this?
So the Black Pearl Pirate Group began to expand, and those who were not redeemed were said by them, your master doesn't want you anymore, your family is still occupied by them, and your lady robbed them as concubines, anyway, they play smear, these people can do it, when they see the ransomed Langya Xiao's steward, they know that those pirates did not lie to them, they were indeed abandoned by those people, as for what they said about encroaching on their families and the like, they made up for it themselves, But it's basically assumed that those families would definitely do it.
"My beautiful lady~"
"Sister, brother is sorry for you."
"What howl? It's not your fault, it's the inhuman nobles, if you want to get back what you've lost, join us, join us, join us in our great cause, let's be pirates together, rob those people's ships, goods, and people, and when the time comes, you can get back what you lost. ”
Seeing a pirate standing under a towering tree, the sun was shining from the leaves, enveloping him like a divine light, after those people saw it, as if they saw a god, they all knelt on the ground and worshipped, Liu Youyu and the others saw it, the corners of their mouths couldn't help twitching, and then said to the henchman prawn.
"I'll tie that guy to a tree later."
"Yes."
Liu Youyu just turned around and left, and suddenly turned around and said
"Don't leave the fourth child behind."
It turns out that the person who pretends to be a ghost is the third child, and he has a good effect, but it is too contrived, so he and the fourth child were tied to the tree by Liu Youyu and whipped them, everyone has become numb to all this, but they feel that their boss does not smoke those two goods, as if it is very abnormal, those who have been successfully brainwashed have joined the Black Pearl Pirate Group to become pirates, and fight for this great cause, not to mention that they now believe in a god, that is Li Yong, if Li Yong knows, he will smoke those two girls to death with Liu Youyu, Because of this idea, the two of them discussed it, the third child pretended to be Li Yong, that day because the sun obscured the vision, so those people didn't look at what the person who pretended to be a ghost looked like, only knew that he was the god of the sea, with his protection, he would definitely be invincible, now that things are like this, Liu Youyu is useless even if he kills these two goods, Liu Youyu will let the second child send the goods he snatched this time to the designated place, and then he will go to the secret fishing village to get what supplies and other things he needs to provide in addition to food, sails, There are secret fishing villages, because Li Yong has arranged a batch of sails here early on, that is, to prevent the sails of the fleet from being damaged, and there is a place to change the sails, so these requirements can be met.
"I know, I'll prepare supplies for you now, and I'll arrange to pick up the goods."
This time this intelligence officer said a little more, if the third and fourth children know, they will definitely go crazy, why treat them differently, the intelligence officer returned to the fishing village, began to arrange relevant materials, let the situation here be passed in the direction of the carrier pigeon to Huating County, on the dock of Chiweiyu, Liu Youyu is taking the new pirates to arrange their pirate ships, Liu Youyu selected some ships with good performance to make warships, and the others are used for support, and the ships of his fleet will increase to forty-five, although there are still ten improved fighting ships, But these merchant ships are not bad, this is actually thanks to those scholars, if they didn't spend a lot of money to get so many weapons and equipment, Liu Youyu still has a headache to give these ships weapons so much, now they are all ready-made, Liu Youyu can't help but want to thank these people in person, the configuration of personnel is all disrupted, mixed with sand into it, this is the pirate's specialty, the old pirate with the new pirate, the original family, then all of them will be broken up for you. The new pirate ship with new sails, and the original pirate ship, formed a new fleet, and began to sail in the direction of Taizhou, these they are swaggering in the waters of Taizhou to show off their might, those who want to return to the port or want to leave the port, either robbed by them, or dare not go out of the port, Taizhou sailors dispatched countless times, even the hair of the people caught one, and the angry Taizhou officials and nobles jumped on the spot.
"Ren Dudu, it seems that your sailors can't even deal with such a little pirate."
"Yes, Governor Ren, do you know how many ships and goods our Langya Wang clan has lost during this time?"
"If you can't, we don't mind someone else."
This Taizhou sailor gritted his teeth angrily, because his sailor became the private arm of these people, and he, as a third-grade member of the imperial court, was scolded by these people who had no merit at all, and he wanted to replace him at every turn, can he not be angry? However, he also knew that they had the ability to remove themselves, because there were many scholars from the Jiangnan Shi clan and many officials in the imperial court, especially the Langya Wang clan and the Langya Xiao clan, which were not at all blocked by him as a foundationless third-grade official, and he could only suffer the most poisonous scolding now, which was the most cowardly mistake.
"Masters, please give me some time in the next few days, and I will definitely destroy these hateful pirates."
The head of the Langya Wang clan stood up disdainfully when he heard this.
"I hope you recognize what Ren Dudu said, and you can taste this wine and food slowly."
After speaking, he didn't look at this governor and left directly, and the others also left, and he didn't say a word to him again, so angry that he was about to vomit blood, he slapped the dining table directly, and all the delicacies and wine on the table were knocked to the ground, he now hates not only these Jiangnan Shi clans who don't give him face, but also those pirates who make him lose face.
"Order, all the warships of the Navy Division will assemble and go to sea with the governor of Pontus to suppress the bandits."
"Yes."
After his own soldiers received the order, they hurried to the port to give orders, heard the drums and trumpets of the assembly, the Taizhou sailors began to assemble, and then under the leadership of this Ren Dudu, set sail, sailing to the depths of the sea, he was angry in front of him now, just wanted to find those black pearl pirates who made him lose face, but in the vast sea, he didn't even know where the pirates were, which bandits he suppressed, like this, the sailors who were so easily blinded by anger didn't know that he was going to be, After receiving the news that the Taizhou sailors went to sea to exterminate them, Liu Youyu laughed, as happy as if something.
"Little guys, the sailors of Taizhou ran to suppress us, they don't even know where we are, now Taizhou is empty, follow me to rob him, but remember, we only rob the docks and warehouses, we can't attack the people, if the officers and soldiers resist, they will be killed, if they flee and surrender, they must not do it, understand?"
Forty pirate ships docked on Ryukyu Island, everyone heard that they were going to rob Taizhou, everyone was very excited, those who had just joined the pirates, after this period of baptism, they had become qualified pirates, when the Nashi clan knew that Ren Dadu took the entire sailor to sea to suppress the bandits, everyone's face changed greatly, because they knew that now Taizhou is an unguarded little girl, if those pirates know that the sailor of Taizhou is not there, the consequences will be unimaginable, so the Black Pearl Pirate Regiment VS the first bureau of the Taizhou Sailor, It is destined to be a fiasco of the Taizhou Naval Division, this fiasco is not how many warships they have lost, but the loss of Taizhou's face, and it is they who gave Taizhou to the Black Pearl Pirate Group.
