Great Song Pirate

Chapter 253
It's not like they haven't killed people before, but it's the first time that everyone killed so many people overnight. Now that Daniel saw the stumped limbs and broken arms and bloody internal organs all over the floor, he started to feel sick. It was also his first time to kill someone, he just cared about having fun just now, and he still had to take care of Xu Yi, so he didn't feel much. Yi hurried over and patted him on the back to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, this is how it is in this world. If we don't kill them, we might be killed by them. You've done a good job, you're fine, and you'll get used to it!" !What are you talking about, isn't this teaching children to become murderous demon kings?

Then they counted the prisoners again, there were more than 100 in total, and the dead and wounded prisoners basically accounted for one-third each. The results of the battle were brilliant!But what to do next?Xu Yi looked at the corpses, wounded, and captives all over the floor and became worried. He was here to handle the goods, but he happened to encounter such troublesome things!

"Come here!" Seeing that Xu Yi had a headache looking at the wounded captives, Yang Zaixing took the initiative to stand up and called the Yi Cheng at the post station over.

"What orders do you have, sir? Please tell me!" Yi Cheng ran over, accidentally stepped on an intestine and almost fell, almost scared him to death, and suddenly turned pale with fright, he was like this When did my little Yicheng see such a scene!I didn't feel it when I saw the cows just now, but now I stepped on people!Yicheng barely peed his pants in fear.

"Let me ask you, what kind of bullshit is this? The King of Heaven is making such a fuss. Has your local government ever wanted them?" After all, Yang Zaixing is a local, at least not too far away, and knows some local customs.

"Yes, yes! The government has posted a notice offering a reward for the arrest of this great king, saying that if someone can catch or kill him, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and civilians can enter the county government to become commanders of infantry and archers, and eat imperial food instead. Upgrade to two levels, and if one of the bandit chieftains who accompanied this rebellious king in another world is captured or killed, you will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver, and the price is lower for the minions, each of you will be rewarded with five taels of silver!" Yicheng quickly replied.

"Wow! Didn't we get rich? Haha, let me figure out how much reward we can get, one hundred... twenty... five taels..." This guy's eyes are shining, and the pupils tend to become square , I almost took off my boots and broke my feet.

Xu Yi looked at him really funny, and stretched out his hand to slap him on the back of the head: "I told you to learn more, but you just don't listen, now you know you can't even count money! Don't forget, it's probably About 3000 taels of silver, ignorant and incompetent!"

"Wow! 3000 taels! Quite a lot! Who says I don't learn martial arts anymore? I practice knives and boxing every day!" Qian Gui argued with a silly smile, rubbing the back of his head.

"...Dizzy... It's ignorant and incompetent, there is nothing! Idiot! Go away, clean up the guy, and find that whoever is the king of the day, it's 100 taels of silver! Don't embarrass me here! Go do it! Live!" Xu Yi smiled and drove Qian Gui aside, this guy immediately grabbed a prisoner and came over to help him find the corpse of the cheap man, but it turned out to be very easy to find, it was in the pile of corpses not far from the gate of the post station.

Qian Gui pulled out his waist knife, cut off the lowly head with one stroke, slipped it in his hand, and forced the captives to identify who is the leader, and the leader's head is also valuable!Looking at the people in the station, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. This kid is not very old, how can he be so vicious!And it seems to be quite rich!

Things have been done. Anyway, so many people have been killed, so they can't just leave. It seems that they can't just go to Guzhen without solving this matter. Otherwise, they will be misunderstood, so Xu Yi has no choice but to go to Guzhen. Please come to Wu'an County, the post office, after daybreak, and notify the government to come and receive it. By the way, you will also receive the reward silver. This money is from the government, don't waste it, 3000 taels of silver, but it can be exchanged for a lot of steel!That's good, I made a fortune before I arrived in Guzhen to manage affairs!
Yi Cheng repeatedly nodded in agreement, and was very happy in his heart. He did not expect that these people would kill the king of another day who could not even be helped by the government so easily. Xu Yi and the others finally eliminated a harm for the local area. This is great news for people!I am very grateful to them.

Anyway, I have to wait for the people from the government to deal with this matter, and I will never let it go. Everyone gave full play to the spirit of collective cooperation and picked out the weapons. This is a place where iron is produced, so even some thieves The equipment is also quite good, especially the criminal who was stabbed to death by Yang Zaixing. He even has a helmet and armor, which is a bit of a regular army posture. Exquisite, the spikes on the top are shining coldly, extremely sharp, I don't know which craftsman made them, they are quite impressive, if you are cheap, you can use such a heavy weapon, and your martial arts should be pretty good, who knows that he is careless, and actually He didn't even raise the mace, but Yang Zaixing's lightning-like spear killed him with a single blow. He was really wronged to die.

There are not many people who use heavy weapons on Xu Yi's side, and Daniel is a different kind. In more than a year, he developed from a little beggar who almost starved to death on the street. The [-]-jin wrought copper stick that Qin Huzi on the island made for him felt light again. When he saw this mace, he immediately fell in love with it. He grabbed it and swung it a few times. Take this mace as his own, and when others see that he has already made a move, they have no choice but to give up. Who will fight with him!What's more, even if ordinary people have a fancy, they may not be able to use such a heavy weapon.

After picking and choosing, everyone collected half a car of good weapons and loaded them into a car. Xu Yi went back to the station to rest, and told Li Bo and the others to take turns guarding the prisoners, but Qian Gui, a money fan, still didn't think it was enough. Pulling a group of brothers to search the bodies of the living and dead thieves, anyway, most of them will hide some money privately when they rob, but because they are rogues, these private money should also be on their bodies Carry, so after being searched by them for a while, they actually found hundreds of taels of silver. They were so happy that money is expensive, so they ran to Xu Yi to hand in the stolen goods, but Xu Yi laughed and scolded him. He distributed the money to his brothers for drinking on the road. After doing the calculation, they would reap a lot without taking any bounties that they hadn't got yet. None of the dozen or so horses that the thieves rode had run away, and they were all collected by them. In the bag, this is also a good thing!Da Song had a shortage of horses, so it could be said that there was no market for them, but now they needed more than a dozen horses, which saved them a lot of effort on the road.

What Qian Gui and the others did made the postman at this station even more chilly. I thought those thieves were ruthless, but I didn't expect that these so-called businessmen were even more ruthless than thieves. They would not spare even the dead. Well!Who are they?

After one night, the fleeing thieves must have been scared out of their wits, and they didn't bring anyone to seek revenge on them. The captives didn't dare to make trouble under their supervision. It was very cold at night, so they could only huddle together to keep warm. Because of the excessive blood loss and the cold night, many of the wounded died overnight, but no one sympathized with them. Who told them to follow the wrong people to do evil?Retribution!

Just after dawn, Yicheng personally went to Wu'an County, called to open the city gate, and hurried to the county government office to report what happened at the post station last night to the county magistrate. Bringing two hundred horse-buoyed archers, he hurriedly followed the postman to the post station, thinking along the way, why is the businessman so powerful that he almost wiped out the king of another day they had a headache with ease?

Xu Yi and the others had already been waiting in the post station. When they saw the dust rising from the dirt road in the distance, they knew that the people from the government had arrived. Out of politeness, Xu Yi led everyone out of the yard and waited by the roadside.

The county magistrate came all the way in a sedan chair and was carried by four porters, and he was a little dizzy. When he got here, his face turned pale when he saw the tragic situation here. He was a scholar. I have seen such scenes!The blood of the big beach is all over the ground, and it has begun to dry up. From time to time, you can see some broken limbs and arms thrown in there, and some people's internal organs are still hanging on the grass. The scene is a mess, not to mention him, even The horseback archers who followed were all a little apprehensive after seeing them. They had seen dead people, but it was true that they saw so many dead people at once, and they were all broken corpses. Some tingling.

The magistrate calmed down, got off the sedan chair, carefully bypassed the pieces of meat, and came in front of Xu Yi and the others. Yi Cheng panted and introduced to him: "This is Mr. Xu, a great merchant from Hangzhou. He was here yesterday." Mr. Xu led his servants to exterminate these thieves, they are so lucky! Each one counts as ten, and the people who are killed by these thieves are overthrown! We really admire them!" Yicheng spoke very politely, and highly respected Xu Yi and the others.

Xu Yi bowed his hands to the county magistrate politely, and asked if you are in trouble.

The magistrate is a fat man with a goatee on his chin, and after listening to Yicheng's introduction, he smiled and hurriedly returned the salute: "Mr. I really admire you! Admire me!"

Xu Yi smiled and said: "My lord, you are being polite. As the saying goes, we have to draw our swords to help when the road is uneven. Besides, we have to kill these thieves who want to rob us just to protect ourselves. The matter here was too big last night, and I had to ask Mr. Lao to come and deal with it. After we have explained this clearly, we can continue on our way. Please take care of me, sir!"

The magistrate hurriedly laughed and said: "That's natural, that's natural! Please wait a moment, Mr. Xu and all the strong men, I'll deal with it right away, I'll deal with it right away!" He clasped his fists together, and entered the post station with the guards. In the midst of so much blood, he was dizzy from the smell of blood, so it's better to avoid this kind of scene first.

The county lieutenant who brought the troops looked Xu Yi and the others up and down, didn't speak, then turned his head to look at the corpses all over the ground and the tied thieves, and then followed the county magistrate into the yard with a strange expression on his face.

The post station has become a temporary office for the county magistrate, so Xu Yi and the others can no longer rest in it, so he can only take his brothers outside the post station, temporarily find a clean place to wait for the magistrate to deal with, and there are people in the yard from time to time Come out and bring some thieves in. It is estimated that the magistrate will conduct some routine interrogation to find out what happened last night. There is also a foreman who is examining the bodies of those people and checking the cause of death. They waited impatiently, the county captain came out with both of them, and told Xu Yi that the county magistrate had invited him over for questioning. Xu Yi nodded and took Li Bo and Qian Gui into the yard together, and arrived at the station. Inside the hall.

The Fat Magistrate got two tables and put them together to make a big case. Sitting behind the table, a master was lying on the side to write and draw. He was probably doing a copywriting statement. After seeing Xu Yi coming in, the Magistrate hurriedly asked someone to give him The seat asked Xu Yi to sit down and answer. After Xu Yi thanked him and sat down, the magistrate asked about what happened last night.

Xu Yi told him what happened last night according to the facts, while Zhu Bo was taking notes at the side, seemingly in a businesslike manner.

After hearing what Xu Yi said, the county magistrate squinted his eyes, nodded and said yes, and then said: "It seems that the matter is indeed as Mr. Xu said. If this is the case, please ask Mr. Xu to sign this confession. It’s also good to sort out the case file and use it later when the case is closed, Mr. Lao!”

Xu Yi took over the written statement sent by the owner, took a general look at it, and found that there was no discrepancy, so he signed and pledged it. He is doing business, which can be regarded as a simplified procedure. In future generations, such a big event must be done. If you ask all of them one by one, it will take a long time, and I am afraid that there will be no ten days and a half months.

"Just now I heard that Mr. Xu seems to have something else to do, and he has to hurry. I don't know what kind of business Mr. Xu is in. What is the purpose of coming to Wu'an?" After asking about the case, the magistrate put down his airs and started talking with Xu Yi.

"Oh! I am a ship merchant in Hangzhou, and I plan to open a blacksmith's workshop. This time, I came to Guzhen Metallurgical Affairs to purchase steel. I passed by here, and ended up running into this king of another day. What a coincidence!" Xu Yi replied.

The magistrate nodded, and after chatting with Xu Yi for a few more words, the magistrate praised Xu Yi without pain or itching, and then said: "Since Mr. Xu still has something to do, I won't keep you. I've already asked you about the matter here, Mr. Xu, please go on the road and get busy with your affairs!"

Xu Yi nodded his thanks and planned to leave, but suddenly felt that something was missing. After talking for a long time, why didn't the county magistrate mention the silver reward at all? More than 3000 taels of silver is not a small amount!Although he is not short of the more than 3000 taels of silver, but he and his brothers sacrificed their lives to get it back, so we can't just forget it!Just about to ask, Qian Gui, the money fan behind him, stopped doing it first, and imitated Xu Yi's polite tone and clasped his fists and said: "Lord magistrate, Xiaomin has something unclear. My lord has already asked about it, but he seems to have forgotten it." Let’s talk about the reward, we haven’t received the reward yet, why do you let us leave?” That’s it!Xu Yi didn't say anything, Qian Gui said it first.

As soon as Qian Gui's voice fell, the faces of the county magistrate, the county captain, the master Bo, and the two first-class people all changed. They were a little embarrassed, and they didn't answer Qian Gui's question immediately. Instead, the magistrate looked at the The county lieutenant and the two made eye contact.

Xu Yi is so smart!The expressions of Zhixian and the others fell into his eyes, and he immediately understood the reason of the matter. It is not that they forgot about this matter, but that they did not intend to give this reward at all. Of course, they would not mention this reward.

Li Bo and Qian Gui took a look at the expressions of the county magistrate and several other people, and they immediately understood. Seeing the magistrate's face, he became angry and quit on the spot!He said angrily: "Oh! I see, you didn't intend to give us the reward at all! No wonder you didn't even mention this matter. Do you want to share the reward yourself? That's not okay, Let me tell you, these bounties were earned by our brothers, you don’t want to think about these bounties, if you don’t give it to me today, I won’t leave!” As he spoke, this guy revealed his secrets, rough Then the words came out, and he actually called himself Laozi to these officials.

After all, Qian Gui is young, and the problem is not as thorough as Xu Yi and the others. He just thinks that there are still officials in the county magistrate who want to embezzle rewards for themselves, and he doesn't think deeply about the matter, but Xu Yi knows that things are not that simple. The county magistrate and the others are not only thinking about the rewards, but the county magistrate and the county lieutenant want to take the credit for the extermination of King Kaitian as their own. If the bounty is distributed, the credit will undoubtedly be counted. It's not on their heads. If you know how to wipe out a bunch of rogues, it's a great achievement in the present!Maybe these people can get a lot of benefits from it, at least they can receive a large amount of rewards, and they can also share the rewards privately, and at worst, these people can be promoted to a higher level. , no wonder they don't mention this matter at all!

As soon as Qian Gui's words fell, the faces of those officials suddenly changed drastically, and the magistrate immediately put away the smiling faces just now, but he is the servant of a businessman from other places, and he dares to call himself Laozi to them officials. Isn't it wrong?With a gloomy face, as if it was about to rain, he grabbed a piece of paperweight given by the owner and slapped it suddenly, "Presumptuous!..."
