The soul-capturing mirror clicked its tongue several times in its owner's arms, eh, he caught it again!
Faced with the threat of man-eating scorpions, the pirates who fell into the water had no choice but to swim to the rocky beach. He Lingchuan's men captured dozens of prisoners without any effort.
The sinking ship was desperate and soon surrendered.
The condition He Lingchuan gave them for surrender was to kidnap the three masters, Yue Pinghe, before the ship sank, otherwise everyone would be buried with him.
Once this condition is stated, the other side becomes quiet.
Soon, roars and curses came from the boat.
He Lingchuan didn't bother to identify whose voice it was, so he just put away his flute and said to the people around him:
"Okay, the battle is over."
…
Before sinking, both ships were towed ashore by Yinji.
The defeated pirates disembarked from the ship one by one and were forced to kneel on the rocky beach, ignoring the stones that hurt their feet.
Back and forth, they knelt neatly but dejectedly in five rows.
The first person to be escorted down was Yue Pinghe, who had a bruised nose and swollen face. He was covered in blood and was tied up.
Qiu Hu pushed him to He Lingchuan and ordered him to kneel down.
Yue Pinghe gritted his teeth and didn't want to kneel down, so Qiu Hu kicked him in the leg socket, knocking him to his knees.
Now, it was his turn to look up at the Lord Hedao who smiled kindly.
"Why!" Yue Pinghe spat out a mouthful of blood, "Why did you recruit them, but when you came to my place, you launched a sneak attack!"
Among the three groups of pirates in the Yangshan Islands, he was not the weakest. Why was Min Tianxi recruited, Huang Zhao treated politely, but he was raided?
Yue Ping and Angry.
"It's because of you." He Lingchuan smiled and said, "You, the Master of the Third Path, have a very bad reputation. I asked many people and they all said that you are unreliable."
To be cautious, he asked the disciples of Rongshan to inquire about information at Blade Port, and the opinions they got were basically the same. Yue Pinghe did have a bad character and credit. Even Yue Pinghe and his pirates complained to them about their boss's incompetence after they got drunk in the tavern.
.
Why keep unreliable people and duplicitous people?
If there is such a person in his own camp, He Lingchuan must always watch his back.
Fusheng poked out from the void, and He Lingchuan grabbed it and made a sword.
As soon as the knife came out, Yue Pinghe's arrogance disappeared. Huang Zhao clicked his chin and hurriedly defended: "That's slander! I have always had a feud with him, and he arranged for me behind his back. You can't believe it."
While on the ship, he still had the courage to fight.
After being tied off the boat, with his knees on the pebbles, he knew that courage was useless and that those who know the current situation are heroes.
Huang Zhao didn't refute, he just spat on the ground. He was standing, Yue Pinghe was kneeling, what was the need to refute this man's words?
"Then what should I believe?" He Lingchuan asked him, "How do you show your sincerity?"
Yue Pinghe swallowed his saliva: "I have three treasures in my hands. If you take me in, Master of the Island, all the gold and silver mountains will be yours! From now on, I will work hard for you and work hard for you!"
"You still have so much money hidden?" He Lingchuan was curious, "How much is it specifically?"
"Thirty thousand, no, fifty thousand taels!" Yue Pinghe listened to his soft tone, so he became more sincere, "This is my savings for the past thirty years, and I am willing to dedicate it all to Master He!"
On the rocky beach, the thieves looked at each other in shock.
What a fool! They all knew that the boss was saving money in private, but they didn't know he had saved so much.
Thirty-five thousand taels. They may not have accumulated this much money after years of robbery. How did the boss make money in private?
He Lingchuan pointed at them: "Do your men know?"
Everyone's eyes were speechless, and their faces were numb. He bit the bullet and said: "No, they probably don't, they don't know very well."
He admitted in public that he had amassed money and would not be able to lead his men in the future. But right now, survival was the most important thing, and he could prioritize things.
"Well -" He Lingchuan nodded slowly and made a twist, "Not enough."
This is not enough money to buy a life.
Yue Pinghe felt a chill in his heart and wanted to beg again, but He Lingchuan pressed his shoulder and whispered in his ear:
"Your people are not important, and your money is not important either. But it is quite important not to have you."
Three to fifty thousand taels? Oh, go ahead and lie to ghosts.
The calmer face suddenly turned white.
He Lingchuan straightened up, patted his shoulder, gave him a friendly smile, and then a cold light flashed in his hand.
Before most people could react, Yue Pinghe's expression froze, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Qiu Hu stood up straight:
He didn't even see He Lingchuan's sword clearly.
After a few breaths, the head rolled down the rocky beach, and blood splashed three feet from the neck.
The three masters became more peaceful and died on their own Centipede Island.
He Lingchuan put his knife on the ground and said word by word: "The leaders of the three pirates are more peaceful, killing people and looting money, causing harm to the place and causing endless poison. He is a man of heaven. From now on, no bandits will make trouble or plunder in Yangshan waters."
Ships, otherwise, they will end up like thieves!"
After saying the last word, the blood on the knife head just dripped out.
His gaze was like lightning, piercing people's hearts. The pirates who were swept away, whether they were Min or Huang's men or the prisoners on the ground, all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
He Lingchuan shocked the whole audience with the threat of killing, and then ordered people to bury Yue Ping and his remains, and then asked Yin Fei to tow the two ships back to the dock at the center of the mountain for overhaul.
As a lord, he doesn't have many ships at his disposal, so he can't waste them.
Qiu Hu specially removed Yue Ping and all the storage spaces on his body and handed them over to He Lingchuan.
At this point, the Yinpi's mission was completed. He hissed a few times, made a few splashes on the sea, and swam towards Longji Island without looking back.
Yes, He Lingchuan had just signed an agreement with the King of Yin Fei, and in the blink of an eye he urged it to fulfill its obligations and sent Yin Fei to help him kill the pirates.
Tonight, the Earthly Evil Yin Veins are gushing out. These guys came here after having absorbed the evil energy. They are full of energy and are not as sick as they were the past few days.
Min Tianxi and Huang Zhao looked at each other, both seeing the fear hidden in the other's eyes.
Although He Lingchuan didn't mention it, it was obvious that he had summoned these shady beasts to help him out, and anyone with eyes could see clearly.
The master of He Island was able to attack and wave away these evil stars in the Yangshan Islands at once. Everyone was shocked and admired.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With the help of Yinji, who else will dare to attack the islands in the future?
Once it's stable, everything will be stable from now on.
He Lingchuan saw with his own eyes the change in everyone's expressions, and when he called "He Island Master" he was finally sincere, and he knew that his preset effect had been achieved.
If you have good cards in your hand, you should reveal them to the opponent at the right time.
A fierce battle is over, and then comes the part that the pirates love to see——
Search for loot.
In fact, Sandao originally had two lairs, and the other one was attacked by Yin Jie not long ago. Yue Pinghe concentrated all his efforts on Centipede Island, but He Lingchuan took it all away.
The three pirates also have a treasure house, which is in a cave deep in the village. It is not said to be impregnable, but it is not easy to break into this place if you want to break through the many obstacles.
However, this time He Lingchuan led his troops to attack at night and broke through the stronghold too quickly. Yue Pinghe even had no time to clean up the treasure house and fled.
He Lingchuan called Yue Pinghe's confidants and opened the treasure house in full view of everyone.
There is indeed gold, silver, jewelry, and various magical instruments inside, but it doesn't even take up half of the floor.
There were also dozens of pirates from the Three Paths present at the scene. At first glance, there was some commotion, not because they were greedy, but because the amount of treasure was far less than expected.
"So few?" He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "It seems that Yue Ping and the privately built rat barn have been lining their own pockets."
He walked into the treasure cave, took Fusheng and drew a ditch on the ground.
"The treasure on the outside of the ditch line will be used as a reward for all the operatives tonight. As for how to distribute it-" He glanced at Qiu Hu and the two Taoist masters, "You will report it to me after consultation."
Oops, the three highest piles of treasures were pulled out, and everyone burst into laughter.
Fighting life and death just to make ends meet?
The new and old bosses are not stingy, so everyone feels relieved.
Next, everyone escorted the prisoners back. Ding Zuodong, who came with the ship, took two newly recruited stewards to count the remaining wealth in the treasure house and calculate the value of the assets on Centipede Island.
Before He Lingchuan rewarded his men, the total value of the property in the treasury was less than thirty thousand taels, which was not as much as Yue Pinghe's self-proclaimed personal assets.
But Ding Zuodong found more than a dozen land deeds and commercial deeds in an inconspicuous box, corresponding to real estate shops in Mouguo, Qingguo, Blade Port and several other small countries.
Pirates usually plunder goods, and they like gold and silver jewelry the most, followed by goods, and lastly these contracts. Selling them is risky, takes a long time, and the transactions are inconvenient.
But these are not problems for He Lingchuan, just leave it to Ding Zuodong to take care of it.
In addition, the buildings on Centipede Island are not valuable, but there are seven intact main ships, 13 small boats, and some small boats and fishing boats in the dock at the belly of the mountain.
Although not all cargo ships, these are all He Lingchuan needs.
The future business and transportation of Yangshan Islands will depend on sailing. Without these basic means of transportation, how can we do business?
Ding Zuodong looked at these things, grinning from ear to ear:
"The remaining treasures in the treasure house should be more than 17,000 taels; these land-deeded shops-" Ding Zuodong hesitated. He didn't know much about the prices of goods in Mou and other small countries. "Let's make a conservative estimate of 9,000 taels.
"
He Lingchuan hummed. He spent 80,000 taels to buy the Yangshan Islands, and he only got 26,000 taels back after destroying them. It was a really good deal.
Now, he has more than 240,000 taels in his hand.
"And these ships..."
He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Don't forget about the boats. We can use them all and won't sell them."
Moreover, there was an unexpected surprise in annihilating Yue Pinghe this time. Min Tianxi specially reminded He Lingchuan that there were many shipwrights on Centipede Island, and their shipbuilding and repair skills were particularly exquisite. They were famous throughout Blade Port.
Now that the three pirates have been destroyed, these people will naturally become He Lingchuan's trophies.
This is exactly the talent He Lingchuan urgently needs.
He is the owner of the island, and he needs a fleet of ships. The more ships, the better, and the bigger the hull, the better.
There are actually many tools for extracting palm oil on the island. In another cave in the village, there are seven to eight hundred barrels of pressed oil. The quality is also very good. I heard that it was supposed to be delivered in five days.
