Chapter 53: The shocked county lord
Offshore county seat.
Inside the Yamen Mansion.
The county magistrate in his early forties was sitting in the courtyard with Erlang's legs crossed basking in the sun, and there were two calligraphy stickers hanging on the wall of the house behind him.
He was originally a person from Longyou Dao, and when he was thirty years old in high school, he sought an official and a half-job, and came to Jiangnan Province to be a small county magistrate.
"County master, something happened!"
Master Huang Jue hurriedly came.
"Master, what is the most important thing for us as officials? Calm! Even if something big happens, you have to be as calm as Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing your color! The county lord leisurely picked up the teacup and blew it: "If you are reckless, you will lose your share!" ”
"He's a pirate!" Huang Jue blurted out.
The county lord, who had a leisurely face, suddenly squirted out the tea and jumped up in disbelief.
"What do you say? Coar?! ”
The coastal county is close to the sea, and the pirates are constantly attacking and harassing, and the last county magistrate was cut off by the pirates!
Hearing that there was another trouble, the county lord was shocked.
"Where's Haikou? How many people are there? ”
He asked pretending to be calm, thinking in his heart where to flee.
"It's said to be more than a hundred." Huang Jue hesitated.
More than a hundred? That's okay, it's not much, it shouldn't be able to beat the county government.
Before the county lord could come to his senses, he heard Huang Jue say again: "Chen Zhutou sent someone to send a message and asked us to go over and collect the corpse." ”
After all, more than 100 pirates also want to eat people, but I am afraid that many people will die at the hands of pirates! The county lord sighed in his heart, and while secretly scolding Haikou for destroying human nature, he also scolded the big merchant and sailor for being a bloody dog!
Every year, the imperial court gives so much money to the border water master, and he can't even look at the sea realm, and afterwards he will definitely say to the state pastor, begging the state pastor to make a compromise, and convict the water master of a dereliction of duty!
"How many people died?" The county magistrate asked with a dark face.
"Uh...... It's only twenty or thirty people, right? ”
Huang Jue's answer made the county master stunned, and asked with some annoyance: "Just such a few people died, and collected a fart corpse?" Let Chen Zhutou lead someone to find a place to bury it? Or do you want to drive the official to run in person? ”
He thought hundreds of people had died.
Twenty or thirty people? Sort of a fart!
Huang Jue's expression was strange: "My lord, it's not for the people to collect the corpses, it's for those pirates......
"Huh?"
Chen Zhutou said that he led the villagers of the small fishing village to fight tenaciously with the Haikou and defeated the Haikou last night! Chased all the way to the golden beach, killed more than 90 people, captured 9 people, and killed the pirates in fear, and fled in a hurry! ”
"Huh?!"
The county lord was shocked.
And this kind of thing?
"Is Lao Chen crazy? Can he do this? The county lord sent out a soul question: "Was the fuck captured and coerced by the pirates, and deliberately used false news to trick us over?" ”
These words startled Huang Jue as well.
Originally, he was a little skeptical about this, but now that he is ordered by the county master, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed very possible!
Chen catches a few pounds and a few taels, others don't know, don't they know?
It is credible to say that he killed a few bandits, and that he led a group of unarmed people to kill more than 100 vicious pirates?
!
The county lord paced back and forth: "In this way, you take someone on a trip." ”
"Huh?"
Meanwhile.
Deep Water Bay, the ship has docked.
I have to say that the shipbuilding technology of the evil Taiwan country is indeed extraordinary, and the hull is smooth and regulated, stable and heavy, which is enough to withstand a certain scale of sea storms.
There is also a warehouse inside, Qin Zhen took a look, it was full of food and fresh water, nothing special.
The outside of the hull is also reinforced with beams to resist the impact of other vessels.
It can be seen that the naval combat strength of the evil Taiwan country cannot be underestimated.
"Li Erniu, let the people of the fishing team quickly familiarize themselves with the sea boats, and strive to be able to sail at the end of the month."
The people of the fishing team were already eager to see through it, and they couldn't wait to rush to the boat one by one to watch.
Qin Zhen pondered.
The offshore fish have nothing to do, and the big fish in the open sea are the real gold mountain.
With the ship, many of Qin Zhen's ideas can be implemented.
He could even rely on waterways to buy and sell cloth to other states and counties.
At this moment, Li Erniu's exclamation came from the last boat.
"Benefactor, there's someone in this boat!"
Someone?
Could it be that there are still Haikou coars?
Qin Zhen led people to the third ship as if they were facing a great enemy, and when they went up to take a look, they saw that the dark warehouse was crowded with people whose hands and feet were tied.
There are men and women, mostly women and children.
Facing Qin Zhen, who was holding a sword, these people all showed horror on their faces.
It seems that some villagers have been kidnapped by the pirates.
"Big businessman?" Qin Zhen asked tentatively.
Hearing Da Shang's words, these people were stunned for a moment, and then nodded excitedly.
Chen Shu took away the cloth stuffed in their mouths, only to listen to them quickly explain.
"Please, save us!"
It turned out that before landing on the golden beach, Oda Takaya also took his people to another beach and slaughtered several villages, and it was at that time that these people were tied to the ship by the pirates.
"I've heard Lin San say before that the women and children of our big merchants are very valuable in the evil Taiwan country, and many pirates and pirates like to come to the big business to kidnap people and pull them to the evil Taiwan country to sell." Chen Shu frowned: "A healthy woman, who can sell for a high price of ten taels, is tempted by interests, not only Haikou, but also many bandits and traffickers in the territory of Dashang also help to do these things!" ”
The world is hard, and human life is like a mustard.
"The pirates have been killed by us, and you are safe now." Qin Zhen asked people to untie them, and said in a deep voice: "Take them to the village later, and let people prepare some food." ”
"Thank you, little Engong!" The women wept with gratitude, hugged each other and wept.
Wait until you get back to the village.
It's late at night.
Liu Juan greeted her at the entrance of the village, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw that Qin Zhen had brought so many women back.
Qin Zhen briefly explained the origin of the women, and after learning that they were homeless, Liu Juan couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Master, what are you going to do with them?" Liu Juan asked.
"Get them something to eat first, and as for whether to go or stay, they decide for themselves."
The steaming steamed buns and rice porridge made these panicked women feel warm.
The warmth and kindness of the small fishing village also made these bullied people cry.
The feeling of the rest of my life after the catastrophe is self-evident.
They need to vent, and so do small fishing villages.
"Oh my God! You've really killed more than 100 pirates?! Master Huang Jue came in the dark, and looked at the neatly stacked corpses of Haikou and the heads packed in sacks, he was surprised and delighted.
"Why are you alone? What about the county lord? Chen Zhutou was slightly angry.
