- "Go! Go to the warehouse, take out a thousand taels of silver, and give it to our Lord Baihu!"
The prefect has no choice but to surrender now.
So he ordered the servants beside him to quickly go in and get the money out.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Only when Chen Xiuchang and the others get the money can they deal with the pirates as soon as possible.
Since his goal has been achieved, Chen Xiuchang is no longer too lazy to provoke the prefect.
As long as he can get money, Chen Xiuchang doesn't care about other things at all.
Soon, several servants carried two small wooden boxes and placed them at the steps of the Yamen gate.
Fifty liang ingots, a total of twenty large silver ingots.
Chen Xiuchang tilted his head, and several soldiers walked out of his side.
These soldiers walked to the wooden box and opened the lid, then carefully inspected it before turning back and nodding at Xiuchang Chen to indicate that there was no problem.
"Master Magistrate, let's treat villains first and then gentlemen. Since we have accepted your money now, we won't waste time here."
Chen Xiuchang sat on the horse, cupped his fists and raised his hands towards Zhang Shoushan, and then shook the reins and the horse stepped forward.
And the soldiers following Chen Xiuchang no longer looked listless at this time, but instead they were all vigorous and vigorous.
Because they all know that Lord Baihu has already received money from Lord Magistrate. As long as they deal with the pirates, everyone can share the money when they return to the guard station.
So, they were all very excited at this time.
¡°As Chen Xiuchang said, the Chinese New Year is coming in a few days, and they are all so poor that they don¡¯t know how to spend this New Year.
With this money now, at least my family can have a comfortable New Year.
As for those pirates, what does it matter if they are desperadoes?
No matter how ruthless they are, can they be more ruthless than the soldiers at the guard station?
Chen Xiuchang asked a few soldiers to escort Yinzi back to the guardhouse first, and he led the rest of the people and began to march towards the street where the affairs officers and others were hiding, leaving the prefect behind him standing there with gritted teeth.
Chen Xiuchang knew without looking back that the prefect might be cursing himself in his heart.
But he doesn¡¯t care about this at all, as long as he can get money from his hands, anyway, let him curse a few words without losing a few kilograms of meat.
¡°Besides, even if he cursed, the prefect could only curse in his heart.
If you can¡¯t hear it from your side, just pretend that nothing happened.
hey-hey!
The money you get is real.
"Sir, how will we deal with those pirates later?"
While walking, a confidant asked in a low voice.
Chen Xiuchang sneered: "These pirates are actually rushing to cause trouble in Yangzhou City. They are obviously impatient. In this case, let's be good people and send them on their way. But please go on and let the brothers be smart. Be careful, don't put your life on the line here, now we have got the money from that dog officer, and after we deal with these pirates, everyone will share the money, and then we can spend the New Year comfortably."
Although Chen Xiuchang and Magistrate Zhang had nothing to deal with, he still hated the pirates causing trouble here in Yangzhou.
Now that he has brought people here, it is impossible to let those pirates go.
The confidants understood after hearing what Chen Xiuchang said.
However, Chen Xiuchang continued: "Look at Wang Qingshan first, I want to survive this guy. The reason why the dog officer made such a big noise this time is because of this guy. We have more on him." It¡¯s a big benefit.¡±
The soldiers under his command have already found out clearly. After Chen Xiuchang knew some of the things behind this matter, it was impossible for him not to make a plan.
Why can you, Zhang Shoushan, reap the benefits, but I, Chen Xiuchang, can't?
Now that I have such an opportunity, if I, Xiuchang Chen, cannot seize it, I will really be an out-and-out idiot.
Wang Qingshan is a pirate leader. The prefect Zhang Shoushan wants to get the location where this guy hides his wealth from him, but he doesn't have the hands yet.
So, this person might as well take over it himself.
Chen Xiuchang made his own little calculation and felt extremely proud.
By then, Zhang Shoushan will only suffer a dull loss.
Mrs. Wang doesn¡¯t know, not nowThe prefect alone regarded him as a big fish who could get a lot of wealth from him, and now even the 100 households in the guard began to think so.
"If Master Wang knew that he was like this in the eyes of these people, he wouldn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
The tavern where Mrs. Wang was hiding was not very far from the Yamen, only four streets away.
After all, the affairs officer and others took Mrs. Wang and ran out of the magistrate's office at that time. Because of Mrs. Wang's relationship, they could not run too far.
So, Chen Xiuchang and his soldiers quickly arrived at the outside of the surrounded tavern.
And when the master, who was at a loss what to do, saw the guardsmen approaching, a big stone fell from his heart.
In his opinion, as long as the troops from the guard station arrived, the pirates in the tavern would not have to worry about them.
¡°Give it all, give it a little bit, and borrow it!¡±
The soldiers who opened the road in front drove the onlookers to both sides of the road.
Yo!
Even the guard station has people coming. It seems that these pirates really can't escape now.
When they saw the guardsmen appearing, the people watching started talking.
There is a relatively low-end brothel diagonally opposite the left side of the tavern. On the second floor of this brothel called "Ruyi Garden", there are actually many girls leaning on the railing and looking over here.
These girls chatted while eating melon seeds.
From their faces, you can¡¯t see how scared and panic they are about what is about to happen, but there is still a little bit of excitement.
Some scoundrels kept chatting downstairs, but unfortunately the girls upstairs didn't pay any attention to them.
Among the crowd of onlookers, the sound of selling snacks could be heard from time to time.
"What's the situation now?"
After Chen Changxiu came to the master, he got off his horse and came to his side and asked.
"Those pirates have been blocked in the tavern, but they have set up some obstacles at the door, so we can't attack by force." The master can still talk, and he did not say that the government officials were not doing their best.
At the same time, it was originally the clerk who hid in the tavern, but according to his words, it turned out that the big guys surrounded them.
Although it has been slightly changed, the meaning is completely different.
Chen Xiuchang was too lazy to argue with his master about writing matters. He carefully observed the obstacles at the door of the tavern.
The door of the tavern is not big, and the windows are not big either, so it will be a little troublesome to get in. Those obstacles blocked the windows and doorways so tightly that several people would inevitably be injured if they were to attack by force.
"However, Chen Xiuchang only frowned, but he didn't think that this matter could not be solved.
You must know that many of his soldiers have seen blood in Liaodong.
Therefore, compared to those useless government servants, they are much better.
At least, the soldier he brought did not show any sign of fear.
"The opponent has four muskets in his hand, which is why we dare not attack by force." The master didn't know what the Master Baihu was thinking. He continued to introduce the situation of the 'pirates' in the tavern to the Master Baihu. Know.
What! The opponent has four muskets in his hand!
The situation provided by the master made Chen Xiuchang tremble in his heart.
As an ordinary person, he may not know the power of fire guns, but as a person who has fought with the Jurchens on the battlefield of Liaodong, he is very aware of the power of fire guns.
¡°Damn it, why do these pirates have muskets in their hands!¡±
Chen Xiuchang frowned tightly, obviously this matter was beyond his expectation.
Originally, he thought that the pirates he had to deal with would be easy to deal with, but he never imagined that these pirates would have blunderbuss at their disposal.
This kind of weapon is different from cold weapons.
The sword chopped on the body and could not have a life at once, but the weapon of Huoyu was okay.
When he was fighting with the Jurchens in Liaodong, he had seen the Ming Dynasty's fire cannons shoot down the fierce Jurchen cavalry from their horses many times. Especially when cleaning the battlefield, the tragic scenes of the Jurchen cavalry who were not dead still left him in his memory. new.
"Sir, if the opponent has a blunderbuss in his hand, it will be difficult for us to attack by force. If we attack by force, at least some of our brothers may lose their lives."
The confidant standing beside Chen Xiuchang reminded him in a low voice.
The master standing on the other side remained silent.
¡°Now people are talking about their own affairs, and as an outsider, it¡¯s not easy for him to interrupt.
"You have to do things after receiving money. We still have to pay attention to this rule. But this matter is not a small matter. Let's ask the brothers what they mean. After all, if it starts soon, no one knows who will give their names. Leave it here."
After thinking about it, Chen Xiuchang said helplessly to his confidant.
The cronies also understand that now that they have received money from the prefect, it will be difficult for them to go back like this.
Otherwise, they will have no place to stand in the future.
¡°After all, no matter how bad the prefect is, he is also a civil servant.
When the time comes, if he talks crookedly, people like them will not be able to bear it.
And after receiving money to do things, even if Zhang Shoushan wanted to cause trouble in the future, he would have no choice.
"Okay! I'll ask the big guys what they think."
The confidant nodded, quickly turned around and walked to the soldiers, and began to tell them the situation they were facing now.
Chen Xiuchang also turned around and wanted to go to the side of the soldiers he had brought. At the same time, he thought to himself: Damn it, this silver is a bit hot to hold!
"My lord, is it true? Those pirates in the tavern have muskets!?"
When the soldiers saw Xiuchang Chen approaching, they gathered around and asked this question. (To be continued.
