There are still three days left before the Spring Festival of the thirtieth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and Lombok Island is basically Han people, so they attach great importance to this festival. Chen Zuyi brought less than 1,000 Japanese samurai, and they also celebrated the Spring Festival, a custom that was brought to Fusang at that time from the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Zuyi sat in the study in a daze, watching the two little maids carefully supporting Hua Hai'er and Chun'er and walking back and forth in the backyard. This is their daily homework, and it is also arranged by Old Man Hu. Father Meng and Diao Wenshu hurriedly walked over, and when they saw the two ladies, they hurriedly saluted and said hello.

"I've seen two ladies!"

"Father Meng and Mr. Diao don't have to be polite, Zu Yi is in the study." Hua Haier and the two of them were inconvenient to return the gift because they had big bellies.

"Thank you, ma'am!"

After speaking, Father Meng and Diao Wenshu, who looked worried, came to Chen Zuyi's study.

"Meng Lao'er (Diao Wenshu) has seen the helper!"

"Well, sit down!" Chen Zuyi asked the two to sit down, and the little maid who was originally supporting Hua Hai'er brought two cups of tea, and gently retreated after a blessing ceremony.

"What's the matter with Wen Shu coming here?" Although Chen Zuyi already had some speculation in his heart.

Diao Wenshu knelt down suddenly, "Yesterday, Father Meng inquired about the people who went to sea two days ago, and I knew that the helper must be looking for someone who leaked the gangmaster's whereabouts. That's why I've come to plead guilty! ”

Although Chen Zuyi had some guesses, his anger still rose sharply, suppressed his anger and said gloomily: "Do you think that my knife is not sharp enough to kill you?" ”

Diao Wenshu suddenly felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, his body trembled, and he hurriedly replied: "The villain doesn't dare, there is really an inside story, please help the master and let me return!" ”

"Say! If I'm not satisfied, watch your head! ”

"A few days ago, when my new house on the island was built, I hired a dozen people to bring back the furniture I had booked in the Old Port. That day, it was just in time for the gang leader to lead the team to set off. Diao Wenshu swallowed his saliva and continued dryly: "When I first arrived at the workshop in the old port city, the villagers who went to move furniture with me were grabbed by a group of people. ”

"At first, I thought they were from the local yamen, but then we were escorted to a private house to find out that they were actually members of the Holy Gang. They threatened the villagers and promised me heavy profits, and wanted to find out the purpose and manpower of my Black Shark Gang's operation. ”

"So you said that?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Chen Zuyi's mouth.

"Helper, don't hide it, I really don't like their money! I, Diao Wenshu, have managed to become a squadron leader, and after so many robberies, I have saved no less than 500,000 taels of money. It's enough for the rest of your life! Diao Wenshu has his own pride, and it is indeed difficult to buy him off with money.

"Why is that?" Chen Zuyi's voice unconsciously relaxed.

"Most of the dozen or so villagers I brought with me are military dependents of the Black Shark Army, and in case something happens, I will return to Lombok without a face... The main thing is that those guys will tear him alive.

"Oh? What do you say? Chen Zuyi's heart moved, as if he had figured out something.

"The villain only said that the helper went to Pontianak City to trade a batch of looted goods, and went to three battalions of 1,500 people! I think the Holy Gang will send more than 2,000 people to intercept it at most. That's not like delivering food in front of our Black Shark Army! Diao Wenshu saw that the helper's face had improved, and he couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

"Well, get up and sit down! This time, you've got your demerits offset! How will the Holy of Holies know that you are members of the Black Shark Gang? Chen Zuyi's anger disappeared completely.

"Alas! It's all to blame on the villain's mouth! The last time I went to book furniture, I drank too much. I'm afraid they'll make the wood shoddy, and they'll say I'm the captain of the Black Shark Gang when their heads get hot, and if they dare to play tricks, I'll kill their whole family. Who knew that this workshop had something to do with the Holy of Holy! Diao Wenshu lowered his head embarrassedly, his old face was flushed, this time he really lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot, so embarrassing!

"Humph! Lose face! Chen Zuyi couldn't help but snort coldly, and then shouted outside the door: "Yuan Liang! ”

"What do you command?" Li Yuanliang flashed outside the door.

"Let Matsumoto Tsukikage take the team to destroy the people in that workshop, hand over fifty percent of the proceeds, and divide the rest equally! Go back quickly, I'm waiting for them to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together! ”

"It's the helper!" Li Yuanliang dodged away.

"Thank you, Leader!" Diao Wenshu bowed gratefully.

"It's not for you, it's because these guys dare to threaten the lives of my Black Shark Army, so be ready to be destroyed!" When Chen Zuyi said this, his face was full of domineering.

"Little Lao'er thanked the helper on behalf of the villagers! It's a blessing to have you as a helper! Father Meng said with a smile.

"Daddy Meng has won the award, it's almost the New Year, I guess you are also busy, let's all go back!" I love to listen to good words, and Chen Zuyi is no exception.

"Little Lao'er (villain) retires!" The two slowly exited the study, and only then turned to leave when they were out the door.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Chen Zuyi ordered people to prepare a banquet, and now wait for the Zi Camp to come back and start the banquet.

"Report! My lord, Matsumoto is here to give the order! Just as it was getting dark, Matsumoto Tsukikage's Seichen came to kneel outside the door of the study.

"Good! Just wait for your Matsumoto battalion commander to come back and start the banquet! Chen Zuyi happily pulled up Matsumoto Yueying and patted the dust on his body, "If you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" Hahaha......"

For a time, the lights inside and outside the Juyi Hall were bright, and the tables were full. Today, the soldiers of the Black Shark Army and the craftsmen of Swallowing Moon Island all gathered here, and tens of thousands of people drank and ate together, which is a rare scene!

Chen Zuyi stood up from the first table, came to the door of the main hall, stood on the threshold, picked up the wine bowl handed by Li Yuanliang, and said loudly: "This first bowl is for the dead brother!" I hope you will bless us with success in the future, and may they be safe in the next life! Dry! ”

"May the next life be well! Dry! Everyone raised their bowls and finished in one go.

Chen Zuyi once again picked up the wine bowl that was full, "This bowl of wine wishes my Black Shark Army all the best and invincible in the coming year!" Dry! ”

"!" The Black Shark soldiers and craftsmen around them once again picked up the freshly filled wine bowl and drank it in one gulp. A huge cheer ensued!

"Take! Military! Military! "The sound vibrates the sky!

Chen Zuyi picked up the wine bowl for the third time, stretched out his hand to stop the cheers of the crowd, and said loudly again: "This bowl of wine is toasted to the soldiers and craftsmen sitting here, and we will create it together in the future!" Dry! ”

"!" Everyone picked up the full bowl again, drank it dry, and cheered again!

"Take! Military! Military! Even the craftsmen, who were still restrained, shouted while beating their chests!

After waiting for everyone to cheer, Chen Zuyi spoke again: "Brothers, drink openly, don't get drunk and don't return!" Then he returned to the head table in the main hall.

Chen Zuyi's face was already flushed, looking at the same Lin Xian, Songhai, Meng Zhuang, Pei Xin, Datu, Matsumoto Yueying, Liu Er and others around him, he couldn't help but think of the two Chinese New Holidays in this time and space, the people around him have been changing, and his status has also risen again and again.

During the Spring Festival of the 28th year of Hongwu the year before last, he was busy robbing a cargo ship of a Javanese nobleman. He didn't remember the name of that nobleman for a long time! At that time, he was still a squad leader, and with fifty-three brothers, he robbed the cargo ship and sold the things, which was the first income.

During the Spring Festival of the 29th year of Hongwu last year, he was already the captain of the brigade, and the various brigades were very harmonious on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were fighting openly and secretly. I thought of Zhao Shiduo who was killed, as well as Qian Wu and Zhou Shuo, who were cut by a thousand knives.

Chen Zuyi inexplicably remembered a poem in his previous life, and the wine surged, and he couldn't help but recite it:

The world is out of my generation, and the years of entering the rivers and lakes are urging.

In the talk and laughter of the emperor's hegemony, it is better than a drunk in life.

Lifting the sword to straddle/ride the ghost rain, the white bones are like mountain birds flying.

Dust is like a tide, people are like water, only sighing a few people in the rivers and lakes.

"Good poetry!" Lin Xian and Father Meng clapped their hands and cheered, and when they slowly tasted it, they were suddenly shocked. The gang leader was born in a fisherman's family, and he did not study at a young age. Or from the beginning of arriving in Lombok, Meng Chengbi enlightened literacy. As a helper, he only had a large number of books to read, so in less than a year, he made such amazing verses, which can be described as a genius!

The others all looked at the helper stupidly. I really don't understand, I just feel that there is an emotion that infects them, both proud and exciting.

Chen Zuyi saw everyone's reactions, and didn't explain, just picked up the wine bowl, raised it to the many team leaders in the hall, and said loudly: "Today is a special day, brothers are open to drink!" Someone who did it first was respectful! ”

"!" The people in the hall responded enthusiastically, and the waves spread to the outside of the hall, and the outside of the hall became even more enthusiastic. Eventually, all the people got drunk and lay on the ground. Tragic as a battlefield......
