Indeed, if even a province's political leaders and generals come to recruit them, and instead of accepting them, you take them hostage, then all means of retreat are really cut off, and the court will no longer be able to give in and recruit them. If it doesn’t work, the only option is to fight!

Many pirates are unwilling to see such consequences. Therefore, after Hong Yuntong finished speaking, everyone felt a little panicked and looked at the second boss, hoping that he would change his words so that they could at least get together and leave, leaving a way out, right?

When the second master saw this, he became angry and shouted loudly: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you take them all to prison!"

When his trusted subordinates saw that their boss was angry, they did not dare to neglect him. They quickly agreed and went to arrest him.

The sound of "clang" sounded. Hong Yunzheng turned his head when he heard the sound and saw two generals and their personal guards. There was fear on their faces, but they still drew their weapons, as if they were ready to fight. He frowned, then shook his head and said: "This is a den of thieves. Resistance will only cost lives! We are the imperial officials. Let's see how they treat them, so that they don't dare to kill!"

"Yes, yes, Master Hong is right, we are just living like ants, but we still have a bright future, so we can't give up here!" Kang Chengzu turned pale and nodded repeatedly.

When Hong Yunzheng heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Kang Chengzu with contempt in his eyes. He didn't mean what Kang Chengzu meant at all. But before the thieves, he didn't bother to argue with him. He turned around and looked at the pirates swarming over. He held his head high and shouted loudly: "Don't be rude to me. It's just a cell. Lead the way!"

When the pirates who were holding swords and guns and were about to board the official ship heard this, they looked up at him standing on the bow of the ship. Under the winter sun, he seemed to be dazzling, making people feel awe. Suddenly, these pirates did not dare to make any mistakes and waited there obediently.

Hong Yunzheng strode off the official ship without any fear or hesitation. The pirates who met him moved to both sides to make way for them to disembark. It can be seen that although they are hostile parties, they respect Hong Yunzong who holds his head high and shows no fear.

This situation is actually not surprising. Most of these pirates were originally ordinary people, and they naturally had a kind of admiration and even awe for the officials who came from a scholarly background. What's more, the man in front of them is a Jinshi master, and he is also a high-ranking official participating in the politics of the province.

Throughout the dynasties, those who could be officials, especially those who could be high-ranking officials, would not look like crooked melons or cracked dates. Generally speaking, all of them would be good-looking. The same is true for Hong Yunzheng. Coupled with the fearless and upright aura he carries at this time, it is reasonable for these pirates to have such a reaction.

Not only them, the pirates watching on the shore may not care much about the other officials, but they all admired the leader Hong Yunzong, secretly gave a thumbs up, and gave what they thought Best comment: "He's a man!"

Ma San watched this scene and praised in a low voice among his brothers: "Believe it or not, this gentleman who participates in politics is a good official!"

After hearing this, Scarface nodded and said in agreement: "I think so too, especially compared with the one at the back. I can see at a glance that Lord Participating in Politics must be a good official! Oh, you really shouldn't be here!"

"What do you mean?" The young man withdrew his admiring gaze, turned to look at Scarface, and asked a little surprised.

The scarred face turned to look at him, raised his head towards the second master and said, "If you fail to recruit someone, and you become a hostage, what will be the good outcome?"

When the young man heard this, he said a little puzzled: "They are high-ranking officials of the imperial court. Could it be that the government would not care about them and at least redeem them?"

Hearing this, Ma San interrupted and said in a low voice: "How to care? Will the government listen to us being pirates? And redeem them? Where will the court's face be put? Besides, do you think the boss will treat these few Is this high-ranking official just asking for money? Let me tell you, if there were really people in the court, do you think they would be sent to dangerous places? This matter, the recruitment is going to be completed, everyone will be happy; now it seems that the head of the family has no intention of accepting it from the beginning. You recruited them, tricked them here, and decided to use them as hostages. How can their fate be better? "

Hearing this, the young man was speechless. He turned around and looked at the officials who had disembarked from the official ship and were being escorted away from the dock. Suddenly, he sighed silently.

When Scarface saw it, he changed the subject and smiled at Ma San and said, "Brother Ma San knows better. He is worthy of having been in a government office before."

After finishing speaking, seeing that the young man was still in a daze, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, just take it one day at a time!"

About half an hour later, the second head of the family returned to the Juyi Hall. Xu Xiang had been waiting here for a long time, and was gnawing on a pig's trotter with a mouth full of oil. When he saw him entering, he laughed and greeted him: "What, those dogs?" Are the officials scared to death?"

The second master's face looked a little ugly. He stepped forward to pick up a bowl of wine, and drank it in one gulp, regardless of whether it was cold or not. He really felt aggrieved, threw the bowl away, and said angrily: "Pee your ass, those dog officials are very treacherous. Not only do they not admit it, but they talk nonsense. I look at it, and there are quite a few brothers below." They said I was frustrated. It's as if this is not our territory, but in the government office!"

When Xu Xiang heard this, he threw away the pig's trotters in his hand, lost the smile on his face, and asked loudly: "What's going on?"

So, the second boss described the situation on the dock, especially the expressions of those watching the pirates.

"Damn, this is outrageous!" After hearing this, Xu Xiang kicked the table in front of her and cursed loudly. Fortunately, the table was so heavy that he didn't kick it over.

Xu Xiang can rise as a pirate leader because he has his abilities after all. After thinking for a while, he suddenly raised his hands and said: "Come on, summon the brothers to discuss things, I have something to say!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flurry of excitement. Soon, the large gathering hall was filled with his bosses, big and small, sitting or standing.

Seeing that everyone was almost there, Xu Xiang, who was sitting at the top, stood up and shouted loudly. Suddenly, the entire Juyi Hall became quiet.

Xu Xiang looked around at his men and said loudly: "I tell you the truth, when news came from the shore, these officials did not act on their good intentions and did not really come to appease us!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of his men and suddenly became angry. Not many of them believed what he said! He never thought that this was actually a trend, a trend based on their previous impressions of Ming officials. Unless there is real evidence, it will be difficult to change this trend.
