Chapter 65
Zhong Lei and the others saw that they did it, first killed the pirate leader in the courtyard, and then asked the sailor to surround Heifeng's courtyard, and Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Bai Zizong, Dongye Suo, Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, Zhao Hai, Zhao Chong, Zhao Cai, Qin Jinfeng, Li Mo and others entered the house to search and arrest the bandit leader. Strangely, all the houses were searched, and there was no one to be seen, as if they had gone from heaven to earth. Zhong Lei asked the pirate, only to learn that there was a cave in the backyard, and the entrance of the cave was in the rockery.
"Damn, these dogs must be hiding in this hole. Zhao Wei scolded, and Qin Jinfeng said that they were trapped in the cave, starved for three or four days, and did not come out by themselves obediently. But the pirate said that there was water and food in the cave, and that even if he was trapped for three years, he would not die. At this time, everyone was dizzy, and a few brave sailors broke into the rockery to explore the way, but they were killed by the people in the cave as soon as they entered the hole. This angered Bai Zizong, and people poured smoke into the cave, wanting to smoke out all the people in the cave. But the pirate said again, not to mention the cigarette, even the water is useless. At this time, Higashino Suo was furious, saying that he would ask his brother to bring a few cannons, saying that he would blow up the entrance of the cave, and then rush into the cave to kill the enemy. Everyone thought about it, so they asked people to dismantle three cannons from the island and carry them to the backyard, and the muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the hole, and the cannonballs were loaded and just ignited, only to hear someone shouting: "Chief, don't open fire." Don't fire. I have something to say. ”
Immediately, a person arrived, but it was a fish, and he said: "Chief Administrator, I have already asked someone, and said that there are four martial arts masters locked up in the cave, as well as 27,800 taels of gold and more than 7,800,000 taels of silver." There are three hundred and forty or fifty boxes of rare treasures, porcelain vases, calligraphy and paintings. What if you blow up the cave?" They all looked at Zhong Lei to see what he said. Unexpectedly, Zhong Lei smiled at everyone. Pointing to the hundred and so tables of wine and food in the courtyard, he laughed loudly: "What are you in a hurry, it's in the cave." Then you won't be able to run. Come, today is Hei Feng's wedding, let's drink his wedding wine first, and then it's not too late to talk about business. When the people had heard this, they ate and drank at the table, and many of the little leaders were also wiped out, and the sailors took turns to go back to the ship to eat.
Shi Guo is teaching Tianxiao on the dragon ship and reading with the Peony sisters. Suddenly, a sailor came to report that the chief steward had asked him to go to the island immediately to discuss matters. I heard that Zhong Lei was invited. Shi Guo dared to slack off, and after a few words of advice to the young master, he got off the dragon ship with the people who came, boarded the boat to the island, and was escorted by a team of sailors to the backyard of Heifeng's house. When Zhong Lei saw it, he said: "Mr. Shi, those turtle sons are all hiding in the cave under this rockery. There are all in the cave to eat and drink, and it is useless to pour smoke and water, so I want to use artillery to hit it a few times, but there are four martial arts masters imprisoned in the cave. There are also gold and silver, rare treasures, and more than 300 boxes of porcelain vases, calligraphy and paintings.
Shi Guo nodded and smiled. Let Bai Zizong go find a loud water army to come over, and after commanding "this and this" in his ear for a while, this water army flashed to the side of the rockery. He shouted inside: "Everyone in the cave listen, we are the officers and soldiers of Pukou City. Today, he was ordered to come to hunt down the Chen family and the bandit leader Hei Feng, and they had nothing to do with anyone else. This island has been surrounded by tens of thousands of our sailors. You can't escape if you want to. As long as the others don't resist and tie up the three of Black Wind, they will not only save them from death, but also give you silver, and let you go. We will do what we say and never break our word. ”
A counselor is a counselor. Shi Guo's poisonous attack is only on the surface, the purpose is to make the people in the cave suspicious of each other, and finally kill each other. But whether this trick has any effect or not, only the devil knows. Everyone waited patiently, and when the thieves in the cave were suspicious, they would be able to make a fuss. But until nightfall, there was no movement in the cave, and Bai Zizong asked each team of 100 people to take turns guarding the cave to prevent the people in the cave from escaping in the dark.
But the next morning, there was still no sound in the cave. Just when everyone was anxious, at noon, the cave suddenly sounded the sound of fighting and fierce muskets, and everyone laughed. It wasn't until dusk that the gunfire ceased in the cave, and it was over with fire. Then there was a cry from the entrance of the cave. "Listen to the officers and soldiers outside the cave, we have killed the Chen Shuangxiong and Hei Feng, so let's carry the heads of the three of them. Zhao Chong said: "Come out, we are definitely talking." The cave shouted again: "Okay, then we will come out." ”
First came an eight-foot-tall sword-wielding bloody man, followed by seventeen or eighteen, followed by six seriously wounded. "This is their head, find someone to examine it. The knife bearer seemed to be the eldest brother of these people, and with a wave of his hand, someone threw the heads of the Chen family and Hei Feng in front of Zhong Lei and said, "You have to talk and count." Zhong Lei nodded and smiled, and asked the people on the island to recognize the head, and everyone said that this was the Chen family and Heifeng. Then he said to the man with the sword, "I am a man who speaks with all his word." But I have a few words to say before I let you go. If anyone is willing to stay and join the army, go back and bring your brothers, but if you do not want to join the army, then do not be robbers when you return. Now, I will give each of you two hundred taels of silver for settling-in expenses. When he had finished speaking, Nian Bo took five thousand taels of silver that he had prepared and divided it into twenty-five portions and put it in front of them.
But Shi Guo felt that Heifeng's face was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, so he stroked the goat's beard on his chin and thought about it, and then he thought about it in the sound of "oops". In the main altar of the Xi'an Heavenly Demon Society, he had seen this black wind, a distant cousin of the Supreme and the hall master of the Heavenly Demon Society. "That's good. He was so remorseful, he didn't want a hall master of the Heavenly Demon Society to let his plan be harmed like this.
But Zhao Chong always looked at the man with the knife, and felt that this person was very close, but his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, and he looked at it for a long time before he recognized that that person would be the master who taught him kung fu, so he said to Zhong Lei in surprise: "That's my master Luo Huo." Then he went over and hugged the knife bearer with both hands and asked, "Master, why are you here?" When the master and apprentice meet, they inevitably have to say something, reminisce about the past, and introduce each other, which is also lively.
It turned out that this middle-aged man Luo Huo was a native of Taiyuan, seventeen or eighteen years ago, he did business and discounted the capital, and lived in Fujian and Zhejiang to do some small fish selling business, and he also built a pergola to sell tea in his spare time. Later, he met Zhao Chong and taught him kung fu for four or five years. After that, he went up the mountain to join the gang and became a robber, because of his kung fu, he was pushed to be the boss by Sun Bing, the king of the mountain, and gathered seven or eight hundred good brothers in the past five years. This big bowl of drinking. Eat meat in large gulps, and divide silver in large scales. Originally, it was a happy holiday. But since five years ago, Heifeng has set rules for every mountain, not only to worship him as the boss. Every year, he will pay a tribute of 10,000 taels of silver, and whoever disobeys will be killed, and this free life will be gone from now on, and naturally everyone hates Heifeng in their hearts. But these mountain kings can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out because they can't hold together, and they are sent by the black wind. Since being trapped in this cave, everyone has complained about the black wind of this dog day in their hearts, and after listening to the shouts outside the cave, these mountain kings gathered together to discuss. At last. Everyone pushed Luo Huo as their head and wanted to tie up the Chen Shuangxiong and Hei Feng, but they were killed.
After listening to the narration, Zhao Chong brought the master to Zhong Lei. "Boss, my master is quite capable, so you can keep him. In fact, Zhong Lei fell in love with this man when he saw Luo Huo for the first time, and felt that he would definitely be a tiger general in the future, even if Zhao Chong didn't say anything, he would think of leaving him behind. At this moment, after listening to Zhao Chong's words, he immediately nodded in agreement. smiled and punched Luo Huo twice in the chest and asked, "Brother Luo, do you want to stay?" This Luo Huo is also half a Jianghu person, and naturally knows what it is like to join the gang, and it is difficult to have a future if he has no achievements. He arched his hand and said, "Chief Manager, if you really trust me Luo, let Luo bring back 50,000 taels of silver." As a settling-in allowance for brothers who are unwilling to join the army in fifty or sixty mountains. Wait for me for a month, and I will be there in a month. Zhong Lei deliberately wanted to fulfill Luo Huo's loyalty. also gave him confidence and a bright future, so he asked Nian Bo to take 60,000 taels of silver and hand it over to him. "Good. Thank you, Mr. Fulfillment. In this way, Luo Huo left six seriously injured mountain kings to be handed over to the Longqing people for healing, and then let Zhao Zhong accompany him, and he didn't take the 5,000 taels of silver, but only took the 60,000 settling-in expenses for the brothers who were unwilling to join the army, and left the island after bidding farewell to the other seventeen mountain kings.
Zhong Lei led more than 100 sailors into the cave, first rescued the three old men and an old lady who were chained, and brought back to the ship by Nian Bo to recuperate. Then everyone began to carry the treasure, and Yingchun and the fish kept the account, and it took more than half a month to carry the treasure in the cave. Then, the sixty-four defensive guns on the island were dismantled and loaded onto the ship, and this was busy for another seven days. In the next few days, all the belongings in the Black Wind Compound were transported back to the water camp, and they were privately divided by a group of generals and big and small leaders of the water division, Zhong Lei didn't squeak when he saw it, as long as the brothers were happy.
This time, the most excited was Bai Zizong, who not only killed the Chen Shuangxiong to avenge his revenge, but also picked up the thirty-seven clippers of the Chen Shuangxiong and Hei Feng in vain, added more than 2,000 sailors, more than 170 artillery pieces, and picked up four Yahuan from Zhong Lei to serve his wife, and the rest of the Yahuan was left to Nasha.
After a month of excitement, Zhong Lei had time to get on the boat to visit the four old men. Seeing that their complexions were much better, he asked with a smile: "Four seniors, if you like it here, stay and drink wine and eat meat, and enjoy the blessings, which is also a beautiful thing." If you want to go ashore and have a good time, then you want gold for gold, and silver for silver, as long as you live comfortably and happily. Unexpectedly, the old lady laughed and said: "Ogre, our four brothers and sisters of the Fei family also know how to be grateful, and they are not villains." Besides, there is food and drink here, so why not go ashore and do it?
It turned out that these four old men were the four brothers and sisters of the Fei family, but in order to find Li Fei, they accidentally fell into the path of the black wind, and after drinking medicinal wine, they were locked in the cave with a big iron chain, which can be said to have overturned the masted ship in the gutter, which can be said to be angry and hateful. Hei Feng arrested them, and was originally going to be escorted to Xi'an a few days later to hand over to Long Xiao to invite merit and reward, but he didn't want to let the Longqing people take the old nest. This talking old lady is the third child of the Fei family, known as the detoxification mother-in-law, and she is an expert in using drugs. The boss of the Fei family, the ghost-faced beast, has a strong palm, the second hundred hands are good at secret weapons, and the fourth is empty-handed. Although the four brothers and sisters of the Fei family are good at kung fu, they just don't like to show off, so their reputation in the rivers and lakes is not as good as that of the hundred poison demon kings, as well as the five big ones in Nanlongtou.
Hearing the words of the poisonous mother-in-law, Zhong Lei smiled, and pointed to the dragon and phoenix ship in the distance outside the window of the boat and said: "Four seniors, if you want to enjoy Qingfu, get that big ship and go up, and meet my young master by the way." Li Fei, the high-ranking apprentice of the worry-free old monster Jin Wuming, was also there. When the four brothers and sisters of the Fei family heard that Li Fei was here, they were very happy, so they naturally nodded and said "Okay". Zhong Lei asked the sailor to drive the boat and docked the dragon ship from time to time. After going up, I saw Li Fei on the deck to teach Tianxiao, Xuemei, Peony, Mountain Tiger, and Qian Fuquanlu. Yingchun lies on the couch with a big belly and basks in the sun, lotus seeds, Dexi, auspicious, and wishful thinking are waiting on the side. "Stop practicing, come and see your master. Zhong Lei greeted, Tianxiao, Xuemei, and Peony hurriedly came over. He first introduced the reputation and kung fu of the four brothers and sisters of the Fei family to Tianxiao, and then said: "Four seniors, this is my young master, the younger brother of the current Emperor Yijun of the Great Ming Shenzong, and the future Emperor Zhu Tianxiao of Longqing. The four brothers and sisters of the Fei family were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt down, and Tianxiao hurriedly said, "Don't kneel, don't kneel." From now on, you will be my master. Besides, there is a master who kneels to the apprentice, what kind of system is this? And I'm a closed disciple of the crazy old way. Master said that the four brothers and sisters of your Fei family are his friends in life and death, and that is my best friend. By the way, Li Fei is now my internal commander, so I'll let him come over. Tonight, we drank together, and it was lively. ”
The four brothers and sisters of the Fei family didn't expect this apprentice to be so talkative, and they talked endlessly, and they were very happy. Seeing that the young master raised his hand and called Li Fei, the four brothers and sisters of the Fei family were happy to see it, these five people can be said to be reunited after a long absence, and they reminisced about each other. The ghost-faced beast said: "At the beginning, there was a lot of trouble in the main altar of the Heavenly Demon Society, a total of nineteen people, but now there are five, and then the Yin and Yang Shuangfei and the twelve gods of heaven and earth will be found, and it will be lively." After they finished talking about the old days, Tianxiao introduced them. "Four masters, this is my sister-in-law Xuemei and Peony, all of whom are the good daughters of my Uncle Zhong. That's Xuemei Peony's mother-in-law. Zhong Lei wanted to introduce, let Tianxiao tell him, couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, seeing Shi Guo coming out of the main hall with a book in his hand, he hurriedly introduced: "That person is the young master's Shi Bao Shi Guo." Then he explained to the four brothers and sisters of the Fei family. “
The four seniors don't have to be restrained here, just ask them to do whatever they want to eat and drink. He pointed to lotus seeds, dexi, auspicious, and wishful. "By the way, let the four of them learn a little too, and they can still save the Lord in times of crisis. The four brothers and sisters of the Fei family nodded in agreement, and Zhong Lei asked the young master to make love to themselves, and went to Mrs. by himself. I wanted to make out with my wife, after all, I haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and I think it's strange in my heart, it can be seen that Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Bai Zizong, Lei Tianba, Nasha, Dongye Suo, Qin Jinfeng, and Li Mo came over, and they knew what was going on, so they had to give up and greet them.
