Li Wenliang interjected and said: "Young marshal, I'm afraid we won't get anything if we succeed, so it's good that we can only come and get some food!" These goods will not be given to the shore until they are delivered, and the owner of the nest will give the silver! ”
Liu Haojia said: "This is a trivial matter! I just want to know who is the owner of the nest? As long as the person sent is caught, and there is a confession of stolen goods, you can directly send someone ashore to communicate with the local government about arresting the owner of the nest. It's a big deal to give them some money, and they'll be happy to come! ”
Liu Guangting said: "But it depends on the identity of the nest owner in the local area? If it's a more ordinary person, maybe the government will agree. If they are local heroes, I'm afraid the government won't do it at all! ”
When everyone heard this, they fell silent, and felt that what he said made sense. In fact, they also think about it now, maybe the nest owner behind the small group of pirates is an ordinary person, but a big group of pirates like the Great White Shark, the person behind it must be a big man with hands and eyes, and it is impossible to take down such a person in a short period of time! And even if the evidence is conclusive, the local government may not be willing to do it! After all, the government also relied on the local gentry to maintain local rule.
Liu Haojia saw that everyone didn't move, thought for a while and said: "Then that's it, when the owner of the nest comes to deliver food, even the people and the boat will be detained, and the people behind them will also be asked." It's just a matter of finding an opportunity to deal with it in the future! ”
After thinking about it, there was no other way, so they had to nod and agree. In fact, Liu Haojia said that he had another thought. The owner behind such a large group of pirates must be the local high-ranking family! If you can't clean up the front, you will have the opportunity to disguise yourself as a bandit and raid their home in the future!
It's just that he didn't say anything about it, but instead ordered the soldiers to demolish the entire cottage, leaving not a single brick or tile for the people here in the future! In this case, even if pirates reoccupy the place, it will slow down for a long time to develop.
But there was a very interesting scene when the order went down! When the soldiers were demolishing the house, one of the soldiers actually took out a dozen taels of silver from the cracks in the wooden wall! It was an instant sensation!
Then it dawned on everyone that the silver must have been hidden by some pirate. After all, no one can carry their net worth with them all day, and they must want to find a safe place to hide. The silver was hidden by a pirate himself.
Thinking of this, the soldiers got excited! A three-foot search of the houses to be demolished was searched, and a lot of silver jewelry was found! Some soldiers even have precious gains such as pearls and jade, which can make the soldiers very excited, and they are especially quick when they work!
When Liu Haojia learned the news, he immediately issued an order that all the things found in the search belonged to the soldiers, and no one was allowed to rob them, nor should they cause a fight, and the offenders would confiscate the proceeds and be dealt with by military law!
With Liu Haojia's order, the soldiers naturally searched more carefully for every place where money might be hidden! Even a knife has to be stabbed in the crack of the brick! As a result, it is not surprising that the scholars of the three masters were dragged out of the ground by the soldiers! Now Liu Haojia and the others are all happy!
With the three masters here, you will know what kind of things will happen on the island in the morning! So he immediately had the scholar sent over for interrogation.
The scholar estimated that he was in a catastrophe, so he gritted his teeth and said nothing! However, he is not a strong person himself, he was whipped hard, and after cutting two fingers, he cried and shouted! However, Liu Haojia didn't rush to ask him where the money was hidden, and directly sent someone to escort him to the side island opposite the main island to recruit pirates.
There were also some pirates living on that side island, but they were all old and weak. Their mission is to grow vegetables on the island! When they saw that the main island had been breached, they were already frightened, and three of the masters were tied to the bow of the ship to surrender, so these old and weak pirates surrendered directly!
Then, according to the scholar's instructions, the soldiers dug up two places on the island where the gold was hidden. More than 1,000 taels of gold and more than 8,000 taels of silver were harvested. In addition, there are a lot of jewelry and other things, and it is estimated that there are almost more than 4,000 taels of silver. As for the miscellaneous cargo, it looks like about two ships.
However, the biggest pillar of wealth is not these gold and silver, but a stack of Zhuang tickets found in the dark compartment of the great white shark room, almost more than 80,000 taels! It turned out that these pirates had already deposited the bulk of their harvest in a gold and silver shop so that they could be easily accessed in the future.
In addition, there is a pawn ticket, which is ransomed for four thousand taels of silver! According to the scholar's confession, the great white shark put some valuables encountered during the robbery in the box and directly gave them away, giving a hundred taels of silver every year, which is equivalent to using the pawnshop as a warehouse for storing valuables! Even scholars think his method is very clever!
Liu Haojia was also very happy to see the ticket! I didn't expect these pirates to have such a flexible way of thinking! But now that the banker ticket and pawn ticket are in his hands, and then use Jaws' own money to get these things back, I wonder if he will be angry and come back to life?
As for other things, the scholar also explained it cleanly. For example, the owner of the den on the shore is the local family and the gentry. This family has been passed down for six generations now, and there have been many people in the family, and they often give porridge and medicine, build bridges and pave roads, and are very influential in the local area, which can be described as a big tree with deep roots!
However, Liu Haojia's comment to them was: "Don't worry, let's settle the ledger together in the future!" Anyway, there are already witnesses and stolen goods, and someone from his family will send food immediately, and a batch of witnesses can be added, so he will naturally clean him up slowly when he has time! ”
When they waited until the next day, sure enough, two sea ships came, and naturally they couldn't escape, and the whole ship was taken! But the ship was full of grain and shelf-stable vegetables, as well as bacon and wine. Needless to say, people were taken prisoners and ships became trophies! As for the food and wine, it is natural to reward the soldiers.
In this way, Liu Haojia took the fleet around the open sea, and it took nearly three months to rush to the outer sea of Fujian according to the agreed time. As a result, it joined two other fleets on the way!
At this time, Liu Haojia looked at the other two fleets and felt a little different, faintly a little murderous! It seems that more than two months of fighting have honed the fleet, and it has the appearance of some elite soldiers! So the three fleets merged into a huge fleet and headed straight for Quanzhou, Fujian.
Since the three fleets have already turned, it is natural to let the commanders of the two sub-fleets report to them. As a result, before anyone entered the door, I already heard someone shouting loudly: "Young marshal, young marshal, do you see what good things your subordinates have sent you?" ”
