A knife in love

Chapter 1016

Old Mrs. Nie and the others heard Island Master Shi expressing emotion, but they didn't know what he wanted to say.These people are all scheming people, so none of them spoke.

Lord Shidao continued: "Actually, over the years, we have repeatedly wanted to discuss the sea ban with the Ming court. It's just that those officials only collected benefits, but they didn't speak for us in the court. We had no choice but to discuss with the officers and soldiers. Confrontation, otherwise we will be damned trapped on the island. Seeing that the Tartars are declining day by day, the imperial court will one day deal with us with all its strength. I can see this situation better than anyone else. If you want to have a way out, you cannot As before, trapped on the southeast coast. We must remain invincible, let the Ming court understand that just thinking about exterminating us will not work at all."

Shi Daozhu paused for a while when he said this, and then continued: "Your Fengmen Village is located in the Central Plains, and the situation is dangerous. If our two families can join hands, who can be the enemy in the world? I promise to help you eliminate the enemy The reason is that the two families can form an alliance. After the feud is eliminated, the four of you are naturally unwilling to stay in such a remote place as Fengmen Village. Instead, you want to go out of the mountains and become officials. We can send a team to enter Fengmen Village to echo Jinshan Island. If the imperial army invades and suppresses the islands along the southeast coast, the surprise troops we deploy in the Central Plains can threaten the capital, making it impossible for the imperial court to march to the southeast with all its strength. Then we will Contact heroes everywhere to force the imperial court to stop using force against us."

Just as Master Shi finished speaking, Old Master Nie squinted his eyes and said, "Master Shi's wishful thinking is really clever. It's just that we are all citizens of Ming Dynasty. How can we abandon our ancestors and help you massacre the Han people?"

Island Master Shi smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Nie, what you said is wrong. We are not trying to massacre the Han people, but just looking for a way to survive. I have talked with you gentlemen from the Nie family and the Lu family. Well, none of them are people who have lived under others for a long time. They are just afraid of the Xu family's revenge, so they have been dormant in Fengmen Village for these years. It is a pity that you, with the talents of helping the country and saving the world, succumbed to the mountains and fields. Now the Xu family is dead. Extinguishment, it is the time for the children of your four families to be proud and show their talents. To be honest, Jinshan Island has bought many officials in the capital and various places over the years. If the four of you want to become officials, or buy land and land, do The rich man on one side, with the help of our Jinshan Island, saved a lot of effort..."

Before Master Shi’s words fell, Huang Chong slapped the table, stood up abruptly, pointed at Master Shi and said, “You Japanese thief, you talk so sweetly, you want us to work hard for you to help you win the Great Ming Dynasty. I really thought we all Is it a three-year-old child, let you play with it in the palm of your hand? We are willing to do anything, but we must never be traitors!"

After Huang Chong finished speaking, he turned to Nie, Lu, and Zhao's family and said, "What else can we talk about with this Japanese thief? Let's capture the head of this thief, and then kill all the Japanese pirates inside and outside the temple. It is also worthy of the ancestors!"

After Huang Chong finished speaking, Mrs. Nie and the others remained silent.Lord Shidao smiled, and said: "This lord is indeed the parent official of Xiuwu County, and he only wants to serve the court. It's just that you are an official with a good reputation, but what benefits does Mr. Nie's family get? Those who worked hard to deal with the Xu family are all members of Mr. Nie's clan, but your family is just sitting back and enjoying the success, don't you blush?"

Huang Chong heard that Island Master Shi intended to provoke, and was about to speak, but Island Master Shi said to Mrs. Nie: "Mr. Nie, I sincerely want to form an alliance with you. This matter is only good for the Nie family, but it has no harm at all. Even if the big thing fails, the children of the Nie family will not have any hidden worries if they become officials or get rich. To show your sincerity, I don’t want one or two of the silver you promised to give to Jinshan Island, and I will give it to you again The Nie family has 50 taels of silver. As long as Mr. Nie nods, the silver will be in front of you at any time."

As soon as Master Shi's words came out, everyone was shocked.It never occurred to him that Master Shidao was willing to spend so much money, and even took out 50 taels of silver and gave it away as he said.With 50 taels of silver in the Nie family, it is not difficult to become the richest man in the world.

Old Mrs. Nie narrowed his eyes, looked at Island Master Shi and said, "It seems that Island Master Shi has decided to eat our Nie family?!"

Island Master Shi smiled slightly, and said: "It's not that the Nie family is settled, but that Jinshan Island wants to form an alliance with the Nie family to achieve great things together."

Old Mrs. Nie said in a deep voice, "Master Shidao said he would give us 50 taels of silver. I don't know where the money came from? Did you plunder Daming's water transport ships, or did you slaughter prefectures and counties and snatch them from people's homes?"

As soon as Mrs. Nie finished speaking, there was a complete silence in the hall, as if a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

After a while, Shidao Master smiled and said: "I originally thought that Mr. Nie was a free and unrestrained person, but I didn't expect to be poisoned by those pedantic theories of Confucius and Mencius."

Old Mrs. Nie said: "Master Shidao, you people of Fusang believe that people should do what they can, and heaven and earth will destroy them. This is true. But there is a saying in Zhongtu, which is called fishing in the dry lake, and there will be no descendants. You do things without leaving any room, and kill everyone. Forget it, there are only you Fusang people left in the world, what good is there?"

Shi Daozhu said: "That's not necessarily the case. Just now Mr. Nie asked me where the money came from. I might as well tell you that the money was not taken from the common people, but we moved it from the Wujia Village in Funiu Mountain, Nanyang!"

As soon as Master Shi's words fell, Lao Qi stood up immediately, pointed at Master Shi and said in a trembling voice, "You, what did you say?!"

Master Shidao sneered, and said, "Are you deaf? I said that the money was moved from the Wujiazhuang on Funiu Mountain in Nanyang."

Lu Laoqi shuddered, his face was pale, he turned his head to look at Han Qusi who was standing behind him, and said in his mouth, "Third Brother, what do you say?!"

Han Qusi's expression also changed drastically. He glanced at Master Shidao, and then said to Lu Laoqi: "This pirate is bluffing, let's not believe him..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Daozhu sneered and said, "Bluffer? Alright, then I'll show you something!"

After Master Shi finished speaking, he clapped his hands together and said loudly to the outside of the main hall: "Bring the things in and show these gentlemen!"

I saw one of the dozen or so followers of Shidao Lord standing outside the palace gate walking out.Wearing a bronze robe, a felt hat, and a sickly face, the man looked like a traveling merchant.I saw him untie a cloth bag from his waist, and strode towards the gate of the palace.A few disciples of the Nie family who were guarding the gate of the palace stretched out their hands to block them, but the man rushed forward without even looking.Several Nie family disciples were about to draw their swords, Ji Dingzhong shouted: "Don't stop him, just let him in."

The disciples of the Nie family took a few steps back, and the man strode into the hall, walked up to Master Shi, and bowed in salute.Shi Daozhu said: "Take out the things and show it to Mr. Nie, lest these gentlemen think I'm talking nonsense."

The man agreed, untied the cloth bag, and took out something from it.When everyone looked at it intently, they couldn't help but turn pale with shock.It turned out that what he pulled out turned out to be a human head.

Even Mrs. Nie was always calm, but when he saw this human head, "Huo" stood up from his chair, staring at the human head with his eyes wide open, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you killed Mr. Lu!" two?!"

Island Master Shi chuckled, his voice was like a night owl, and he said, "I don't need to do it myself to kill such a bad old man."

When he said this, he turned to the man carrying the head and said, "Tell Old Master Nie how this bad old man died!"

The man said: "After we surrounded Wujiazhuang, this old man hid in the tunnel and wanted to escape. We guarded the exit of the tunnel outside the village. As soon as he showed his head, I chopped off his head... "

Before the man finished speaking, he heard Lu Laoqi's roar, drew out his long sword with his right hand, and rushed towards him.

The distance between the two was not more than Zhang Xu, and everyone felt a figure flickering in front of them. Lu Lao Qi had already arrived in front of the man, and the long sword in his right hand pierced the man's chest.

There was a sharp "ding", and a cold light flashed in the hall.Lu Laoqi screamed, staggered back a few steps, and with a "dang", the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.I saw him covering his throat with both hands, but blood kept oozing out from between his fingers.Lu Laoqi was trembling all over, his throat was rattling, and he wanted to speak but couldn't.A pair of eyes protruded from their sockets, staring straight at the man holding the head.Only then did everyone realize that the man had an extra long knife in his right hand.
