0361 Demonstrations
The officers left excitedly, but this time they didn't go to arrest people, but really to invite people! Liu Haojia's purpose couldn't be simpler, it couldn't be simpler, it was to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!
Liu Haojia sent the people away, but he didn't leave, and waited for the soldiers to finish the raid on the Li family, and then rushed to the east gate with the team escorting prisoners and dirty things.
By the time Liu Haojia's team joined the other two teams, the whole team became even bigger! Not to mention anything else, there are more than 100 people in the crime alone, including men, women and children, and there is even a baby in his arms, who seems to be only about a year old!
Liu Haojia knows that what awaits this child will not be the life of fine clothes and food planned by his relatives, but a difficult future! But he can only show sympathy, and does not intend to intervene in anything!
Some people may think that the Zhulian Nine Clans are wrong, but in Liu Haojia's opinion, the ancient clans are much closer than the clans of modern people! And once a powerful person appears in the clan, the rest of the clan will also receive enough help and protection! So since you have enjoyed the benefits by relying on the clan, you naturally have to bear the consequences together!
The whole team was slow to go, and it was slowed down because of the seizure of a large number of materials. So when Liu Haojia arrived at the east gate, all the guests he "invited" had already arrived, and they were standing on the side of the road to see a huge team passing by!
The first to pass through them was the procession of prisoners. Because the gentry moved around a lot, they all knew each other, and even had a relationship with each other. Therefore, there were many people in the ranks of the prisoners who asked for help from the gentry! And there are many young boys and girls "uncle" and "uncle" shouting, hoping that the people standing on the side of the road can reach out to help them!
Their actions even caused a riot in the ranks, but they were immediately suppressed by the soldiers! Driven by the scabbards and guns of the soldiers, the prisoners had to move again and walk out of the city, leaving behind the earth-shattering cries!
Then a large number of horse-drawn carriages exited the city from the East Gate. The valuable things in the three mansions have been stolen, and the specific value is difficult to estimate, but at least seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver should still be available!
Waiting for the cart to walk out of the city gate, followed by the sailor soldiers who surrounded Liu Haojia! These soldiers caught the pirate den owner today, and they were the nobles they had to avoid when they saw them from afar in the past, which made them feel very proud, so they were very excited!
And Liu Haojia, as the commander of the First Army, was surrounded by the soldiers. But when he passed by, he didn't greet these guests he had "invited" at all, and without even looking at them, he walked out of the east gate surrounded by test soldiers.
Seeing Liu Haojia riding his horse by, without even raising his eyes to look at himself, the group of gentry suddenly became calm! But no one dared to say a word, and it was not until his back disappeared into the cave of the city gate that one of the gentry gritted his teeth and said, "It's too arrogant! It's so arrogant! Who does he think he is? A vulgar martial artist! ”
At this time, a person next to him pulled him and whispered, "Silence! Now is not the time to say this! ”
Then someone whispered: "This is a naked demonstration!" ”
The first to speak said, "What can I do to him when I know it's a threat?" Now he has a large number of captured pirates in his hands, if he sees that someone is not pleasing to his eyes, and directly frames me and others, I am afraid that we will not even have a chance to refute! ”
Then someone sighed and said: "Speaking of which, the prefect of Qian is also a useless thing!" Let him arrest people in the city with impunity! ”
A short and fat gentleman said, "What can the Qian Governor do?" There are only 3,000 soldiers under him, but there are at least 20,000 people in the naval division camp outside! ”
In this way, the gentry gathered into different groups according to their proximity and proximity to discuss the matter. Just when everyone was getting more and more angry, a person suddenly said: "The shopkeeper under my house has been with me, and the officers in charge of purchasing in those sailors are coming in the evening, so what should we do about the sale?" ”
Another person directly waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "What are you selling at this time?" Want to wait for those Qiu Ba to come to the door? How to sell it, how to sell it! ”
The person who mentioned this said mysteriously: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have heard that these navy salaries have been doubled, and they are not allowed to be deducted!" If this is true, those Qiu Ba can also buy a lot of things to go back, right? At the very least, you can sell a lot more food, cloth or something! ”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this! However, some people still said disdainfully: "Is it possible to expect officials not to deduct military salaries?" ”
The person on the other side retorted to him and said: "If the salary is really doubled, even if the official takes half of the money than the original, he will naturally have more things to buy!" ”
At this time, everyone did not expect that when the topic shifted to the issue of money, the anger and panic in their hearts at the beginning were all gone, and only greed remained! And most of the business in the city is in the hands of these gentry, and now that they see the big money, where can they take care of the fate of those three families! So everyone hurriedly discussed it and said goodbye to each other and left.
After Liu Haojia left Quanzhou City, the whole city was boiling! The people rushed to tell each other, saying that the new naval commander was very powerful, not to mention that he had exterminated a large number of pirates, and that he had also raised three pirate nest owners, which could be regarded as avenging the death of those who died in the hands of pirates!
Among the people, some well-informed people explained that Liu Haojia is not the chief of the navy, and the real chief of the navy is his father, but he is sick, and now the navy is in charge of him! So the people prayed that Father Liu would continue to be sick!
After all, for the people, whoever can keep their peace and keep their jobs is the greatest good person! As for who is the chief of his father, it doesn't matter! But if Liu Haojia knows the news, I'm afraid he will cry and laugh!
As for the gentry in Quanzhou, after learning that the three families of Zhao Hu and Li were arrested, the first thing they felt was anger! Because Liu Haojia's method of arresting people is too much! In particular, he called many gentry to the gate of Midtown to humiliate them, which made them even more angry!
But when they calm down, the next thing they think about is fear! Because in this place of Quanzhou, it is normal for the gentry to collude with pirates! Because the Ming Dynasty implemented a policy of banning the sea. The gentry would certainly not be able to carry the goods openly, so pirates were needed to help with the smuggling.
