"The sea has been much calmer recently?"
Hearing this, Xiao Han's eyelids trembled unconsciously, but his movement was so subtle that even the old gentleman sitting next to him didn't notice it.
"Why, what do you mean, brother, the sea was not calm before? How is it not calm?" Covering up, he picked up a piece of snack and put it into his mouth. Xiao Han chewed it slowly twice, took a breath, and asked again.
road.
The man was quite honest. When he saw this noble man who invited him to drink tea and asked about it, he replied without thinking: "They are not those thieves at sea! They go to sea to rob at every turn, which makes many ship bosses dare not go to sea easily. I
I can’t give away too much of anything!
It’s not easy to catch up, so now the thieves have calmed down a little bit, so those big ships have to rush out to sea even if the weather is bad!”
"The thieves are those pirates?" Xiao Han nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Are those people very powerful?"
"Awesome!" The man nodded cautiously: "There are many of them. Last time I delivered a delivery, I heard a ship boss say that there are hundreds or even thousands of ships with them! Once they are targeted, the entire sea will be densely packed.
, it’s all their boats, there’s no way we can even run away!”
Xiao Han's eyes flickered for a few times, he looked at the man and asked: "Then there are so many of them, have they never come to rob on land?"
"This..." the man scratched his head: "I've never heard of it. It seems that as long as I can remember, those pirates only robbed at sea. I never heard of them coming ashore, otherwise they are called pirates."
————————
Amidst the whispers of everyone in the teahouse, the rain outside finally stopped. The man saw that it was no longer raining, and stopped chatting with Xiao Han. He quickly apologized, picked up his load, and hurried to the dock.
"Master Hou, why does this matter seem so evil?"
After settling the account, Xiao Han walked out of the teahouse first, and the old gentleman who was with him followed up from behind and said to Xiao Han with a strange face:
"A thousand ships! Even if there are only a dozen people on each ship, that is a team of tens of thousands of people! How can so many people survive just by plundering?"
"There are not a thousand ships." Xiao Han heard the voice, paused and said: "That ship boss must be bragging! But according to the news, although there are not a thousand ships, there should still be two to three hundred ships.
of!
As for survival, because these people also have their own lair, and when they come out, they not only plunder our ships, but also the ships of those big cannibals, Fans, and even Japanese and Koreans."
The old gentleman frowned and said worriedly: "With two to three hundred ships, there are quite a lot of them. How come there are so many people? What if these people attack Guangzhou, and Guangzhou doesn't even have a city wall?"
No, wouldn’t that be..."
"Will not."
Xiao Han listened to the old gentleman's words this time, but smiled and said: "At least they won't come to Guangzhou until they break up!"
"Why? Because of Feng An?"
"Feng Ang is just one of them. The most important thing is that the people behind them are also in Guangzhou! Even at sea, these people can still control the pirates, but if they come to the shore, they can't guarantee that the desperate people will
The disciples will definitely listen to them!
Because when the time comes, those people will not recognize their relatives and will really riot. As a big and famous family in Guangzhou City, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, so they don’t want to see a destroyed Guangzhou City until the last moment!"
"That's it." Hearing this, the old gentleman breathed a sigh of relief, but he soon thought of something and said nervously again: "Then, if you want to touch those families, aren't you afraid that they will jump over the wall? The Feng family is in Guangzhou.
At that time, they might still suppress them, but as soon as the Feng family retreated, they pointed at the eighteen hundred old soldiers. No matter how you look at it, they are no match for those extremely vicious people!"
Xiao Han waved his hand: "Haha, I won't bother you sir! As long as you deal with the trivial matters in this city, that's it! For the rest, the mountain people have their own clever ideas!"
"Then, I will just wait for the good news from Xiaohou!"
"Hahaha...Old gentleman, you should hurry up and take up your post. In my opinion, those people will soon be unable to bear it any longer! Once these matters are resolved, the position of governor of Guangzhou will be chosen by none other than the old gentleman! At that time, the old gentleman will
If you want to make Guizhou rich, it is a matter of course!"
"Thank you, Marquis Xiao, for the promotion. I am deeply grateful!"
Finally, the old man gave a gift, and the wish that had been lingering in his heart for several years finally saw a little light!
Of course, Mr. Zhang, who was inexplicably happy in his heart, did not notice that there was no excitement on Xiao Han's face at this time.
On the contrary, Xiao Han just looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.
Although the rain had stopped falling by this time, the depressing atmosphere never dissipated.
The rain is coming and the wind is blowing!
The county government office in Guangzhou City was quietly changed in the afternoon. The originally good-tempered and confused county magistrate had gone there and was replaced by an old man with a white beard.
And just when the people in the city were doubting whether the old man could shock everyone, the new county magistrate's first case quietly followed him.
This case is not complicated, in fact, it is a bit simple.
The cause was that when Ah Fei, a street gangster, was eating in a restaurant, he and Ah Zheng, who was also idle, suddenly got into a fight over a trivial matter over the order of serving food!
Not only did the two of them overturned the tables in the restaurant and smashed the wine jars in the restaurant, they even beat the shopkeeper who came to break up the fight to the point where he was bedridden and almost died.
It turns out that such a bad thing happened in the city, and the governor's office had already sent people to find the murderer.
But now the gate of the Governor's Mansion is closed, let alone apprehending the murderer. Even the son of the suffering master came to the door to plead for help and got no response.
There was no choice but to go to the county government office and beat the grievance drum vigorously.
When the old county magistrate who had just taken office learned about this, he immediately flew into a rage! He immediately sent people to capture the two scoundrels, and planned to beat them thirty times, and then search all their belongings to compensate the victims.
In the end, they were all thrown into prison.
Originally, this was just an ordinary thing, but the problem behind these two gangsters is that they are both well-known gangs in the city!
When the people from these two gangs knew that their younger brother had caused trouble, they were all panic-stricken at first, fearing that Feng Ang would pursue him.
However, what they didn't expect was that Feng An didn't say a word at all, and only blamed the matter on the new official in the city.
In this way, the two gangs also began to argue, and even the two culprits were hidden by each of them, preparing to let them out again after this period of time.
