Chapter 240: Rakshasa Protector
There are more than one group of pirates salivating over Sanya Bay, that's for sure.
Not to mention the shadowless cornucopia, the famous workshops in Sanya Bay alone are enough for the jackals who are fighting for their lives at sea!
What's more, in the eyes of the world, the Great Yan State is lax in armament, whether on land or on the sea, the Han people are representatives of the rich and the weak!
After all, the sea is different from the land, even if you want to rob it, there are many restrictions, and the silk and porcelain of the Great Yan Kingdom are only produced in the workshops of the Han people, so most of the time, the pirates only take a certain fee for the merchant ships on the sea.
This kind of tax-like behavior is extremely popular at sea, and pirates occupy a certain amount of sea area, but any merchant ship that does not pay a commission, once encountered, directly kill all the people on board, and the goods and ships are towed away.
Compared to bandits and bandits on land, pirates are more ferocious and compete fiercely with each other.
Zhao Hengyi didn't know if there were any guys among the pirates who were determined to unify the four seas, but several powerful groups of pirates were also familiar with them.
The pirates who were preparing to attack Sanya Bay this time were a Rakshasa gang led by the Ten Ghost Divisions of the Japanese people, entrenched in the waters to the southeast, and it was rumored that they had occupied the islands of the Japanese Kingdom as a base, and the momentum was so great that even the generals of the Japanese Kingdom did not dare to take the initiative to provoke them.
The Rakshasa wreck is home to outlaws from far and wide, including bankrupt maritime merchants, sailors seeking wealth, wanted tycoons, and desperate peasants......
Before these people joined the gang, there may have been some people who were cowardly and conscientious, but as soon as they joined the Rakshasa skeleton led by the ten divisions of the ghost side, they would quickly be assimilated into murderous and inhuman pirates.
The methods of the Rakshasa Skeleton gang of pirates, even among the pirates, can be called bottomless, and they do not refuse those who defect, so that they have risen rapidly and become famous!
And the leader of the Ghost Fang Ten Divisions is even more famous in the East China Sea, and it is rumored that this product likes to eat people's hearts, and it is really like a demon crawling out of hell, and the maritime merchants talk about it.
This time, the Rakshasa skeleton led by the Ten Divisions of the Ghost Fang is going to attack Sanya Bay, the reason why Tang Ji was able to get the news was from another group of pirates, if the news is true, then the people of the Ten Divisions of the Ghost Fang are probably already ambushed near Sanya Bay!
"Sir, this ghost party is greedy and ferocious, and the number of people under him is very difficult."
Tang Ji was worried, "The Bai family has a lot of dealings with the ten departments of the ghost side, so it is better for the lord to find someone from the Bai family to talk to him, give some silver, and send the ten departments of the ghost side away." ”
The Bai family is the one who spent a lot of money to buy the glazed pagoda in Yangzhou City, and it is also one of the four major maritime merchants in the southeast coast.
"I said that yesterday the steward of the Bai family left in a hurry, leaving only the guys to line up at the Jiuhua Yulu Workshop, it turned out that he got the news."
Zhao Hengyi didn't care, "This Bai family is not kind, and he didn't say to warn him in advance when he knew the news, so many people in Sanya Bay, once they were attacked by the Rakshasa of Nalaoshzi, wouldn't they be ruined?" ”
"What the lord said is that the Bai family is in the maritime business, so naturally they have to rely on the snort of the ten parts of the ghost side, and they are forced to come."
At this time, Tang Ji still spoke without leaking, and he definitely did not take the opportunity to slander the Bai family in front of Zhao Hengyi, "But sir, the Bai family bought a Buddha treasure in Yangzhou City a few days ago, and it cost 700,000 taels of silver, and the Buddha treasure was used to celebrate the birthday of the ten parts of the ghost party...... If the lord wants to find someone from the Bai family, I can help with the match. ”
Zhao Hengyi knew that the glazed pagoda he sold eventually fell into the hands of the Bai family, but he never expected that the Bai family spent so much silver to buy the glazed pagoda, which was actually used to celebrate the birthday of the pirate leader!
After listening to Tang Ji's explanation, Zhao Hengyi realized that many people in the Wa Kingdom worship Buddha, and the status of monks is extremely high, and the ten departments of the ghost party firmly believe in the Buddha, and the Bai family's move is to do what they like, to find a big backer for their business at sea!
Interesting, so interesting!
A ferocious and rumored cannibalistic pirate leader turned out to be a devout believer, and his reputation was truly ...... There is no class in teaching!
Because the ten parts of the ghost side are not pretending, they are really sincere to worship the Buddha, and everyone knows about this matter at sea.
This special meow, can't he be a schizophrenic?
While leading a group of pirates to kill people and rob goods, while eating fasting and chanting Buddha, it is really cool and weird!
The most important thing is that the monks of the Wa Kingdom greatly appreciate the Ten Ghost Formulas, and even some well-known monks call the Ten Ghost Prescriptions the Rakshasa Protectors...... It is said that this is how the name of the Rakshasa skeleton came from!
Hearing this, the expression on Zhao Hengyi's face was wonderful!
As a modern person, regardless of any school of faith, Zhao Hengyi will maintain a certain amount of respect, although he does not believe in ghosts and gods, he has always thought that he has no right to interfere with other people's beliefs.
Zhao Hengyi was well aware of the influence and drawbacks caused by the school of faith in the feudal era, but in his consciousness, the annexation of land and the loss of labor force was, to put it bluntly, the inaction of the imperial court.
If the court is strong and the officials are shrewd and capable, no school of faith will cause trouble, but will only provide spiritual comfort to ordinary believers.
But this kind of clergyman who sings praises for the murderous and inhumane pirate leader, Zhao Hengyi really thinks that he should be killed!
The so-called school of belief has never been able to influence the purpose of its actions by a single person, since there is more than one monk who sings praises for the ten parts of the ghost party, it proves that at least one school of thought is behind this cannibalistic guy!
The Wa Kingdom is still as strange as the memory of his previous life!
"Has Old Tang been busy lately?"
"I was born to work hard, and I can't be idle at any time, but the lord has a dispatch to say, I can really get involved in the Bai family."
Tang Ji thought that Zhao Hengyi was looking for someone from the Bai family to talk to him, and he immediately cheered up.
"Since you can squeeze out time, let's stay in Sanya Bay."
The smile on Zhao Hengyi's face had an indescribable taste, "I'll invite you to watch a big show!" ”
After figuring out that Zhao Hengyi wanted to harden the Rakshasa skeleton of the ten parts of the ghost side, Tang Ji couldn't help but change color!
The concept of piracy's ferocity and power has long been deeply implanted in the minds of people like Don Ji who beg for food at sea, and encountering pirates has always been the first thing to save their lives!
Zhao Hengyi didn't know how powerful the pirates were, so he chose to face the piracy's raids, which was really ......
Tang Ji said yes, but he didn't slip away, but sent his entourage back to the Tang family to report the news, so that the fourth young master could think of moving the old lady and send someone to find the Bai family to say that he was ...... In short, we must save Zhao Hengyi's life!
This Lord Zhao is one of the few talents who know how to operate and train soldiers, and the most important thing is that he has a great reputation in Shilin, and he is deeply valued by Concubine Chen, if he can save him in the hands of pirates, not to mention letting him return to his heart from now on, at least he will rely more on the Tang family and the fourth young master in the future!
As for Tang Ji's own safety, he really didn't take it too seriously!
After all, he is a man begging for food at sea, who is not making money with his head?
In the midst of Donji's worries, the pirates arrive.
