A knife in love

Chapter 1164

The dozen or so sergeants who rushed onto the ship following the military officer yelled loudly, raised their eyebrows, and went straight to the cabin with their knives and guns in hand.One of the sergeants brandished a steel knife and shouted loudly at everyone on board: "Stand aside for me! If you have any prohibited items on you, hand them over to me obediently! I won't strip you naked and search them out in a while. , everyone is not good-looking!"

When shopkeeper Hu and the others heard the sergeant yelling aggressively, their expressions changed drastically.Shopkeeper Yin and Shopkeeper Luo were the least courageous. When the sergeant said that he would strip off his clothes and search them, they trembled and almost sat down on the ground.

Seeing that more than a dozen sergeants were about to rush to the entrance of the cabin, Zhang Shi hurriedly cupped his hands to the military officer and said, "Hold on, my lord general. The villain is carrying the official document of customs clearance issued by the Shipbuilding Department on his body. Please take a look at it, my lord general."

While speaking, he took out a sealed bag from his pocket, took out the official document of Guan Fang from the bag, and handed it to the military officer respectfully.At this time, the sergeant who was about to break into the cabin heard Zhang Shi's words, stopped involuntarily, and turned their heads to look at the military officer.

The military officer raised his chest and folded his belly, his face was full of arrogance.He took the Guan Fang handed over by Zhang Shi, held it in his hand, looked at it pretendingly, and said in his mouth, "How does this officer know whether your official document is genuine or not?"

With a smile on his face, Zhang Shi put his face close to the military officer's ear, and said in a low voice, "My lord general, you have taken down this official document."

Even the military officer's face was as thick as a city wall, and his face was also slightly red at this time.It's just that his complexion was dark, and the surroundings were dark, so everyone didn't see it.

The military officer's surname was Qu, and he was originally a local ruffian in Fuzhou City. Later, his sister married a concubine of Mr. Qian of the navy, and he became Mr. Qian's cheap brother-in-law.Every day, I lead a group of idlers to eat and drink in Fuzhou City, and do some stupid things like kicking widows' doors, digging graves, eating confinement milk, and beating and swearing.It's just that Fuzhou City is an important place in the southeast, and there are hundreds of dignitaries in the city.The military officer's brother-in-law is nothing more than a small chief executive, and when it comes to power, he can be said to be pitiful.The man surnamed Qu had been arrogant in Fuzhou City for less than a month, and accidentally offended the uncle of a teacher in the Fuzhou prefect's yamen.As a result, the master made a crime and wanted to bring the surname Qu to the Yamen for interrogation.When the man surnamed Qu heard the news, he was frightened out of his wits and fled to his sister's house overnight, begging her to find a way to save him.The girl begged Mr. Qian to find a way to save her brother's life.Mr. Qian got the surname Qu to become a small captain in the navy, and only then escaped a prison sentence.This time, the Admiral of the Fujian Navy was ordered by the imperial court to dispatch three warships to Ningbo to strengthen the sea ban and strictly prevent traitors from colluding with Japanese pirates and smuggling goods.The one surnamed Qu went to Ningbo with his brother-in-law.

It's just that the surname Qu was a rascal since he was a child. Although his family sent him to a private school, he made trouble and made trouble, and no husband was willing to teach him.So after studying for several years, I don't even know a single big character.When I grew up, I was busy doing some immoral things, and I didn't have time to study and practice calligraphy.That's why people gave him the nickname "Qu Baiyan", just to ridicule him for not knowing his own name.

But although this person is brazen, he is deeply ashamed of his illiteracy, and he is quite ashamed.It can be seen that the sages have educated for thousands of years, even the rogues and the villains are ashamed of being illiterate.

At this time, Zhang Shi carefully reminded him to take the official document upside down, which touched Qu Baiyan's taboo.He was startled and angry, and even a little bit embarrassed. Just when he was about to explode, he heard Zhang Shi say: "This ship is too dark, and it is human nature that the general cannot see the seal letter clearly. Please allow the villain to do this for you, general." You indicate where the seal is located."

Zhang Shi's rhetoric is naturally to cover up Qu Bai's eyes.While talking, he stretched out his right hand, said "offended", and carefully turned the official document in Qu Baiyan's hand in a circle.A sergeant was the best flatterer, and hurriedly held the torch in his hand beside Qu Baiyan.Knowing that this person was illiterate, Zhang Shi suppressed his smile, pointed to the bottom of the official document respectfully, and said, "Please look at it, General. This is the seal of the eunuch in charge of the Shibo Department."

Qu Baiyan is ignorant, and he doesn't even know what the Shibo Department's office does.In his eyes, his brother-in-law Qian Zong is the biggest official in the world.At this time, when Zhang Shi mentioned the eunuch in charge of the Yamen of Shibo, it was like hearing Zhang San and Li Si, and he didn't take it to heart at all.I saw him pretending to glance at the official document, threw the official document on the ground casually, and said in his mouth: "My official sees that your official document is fake! Come on, search the cabin carefully for me, don't miss even a rat hole!" "

Zhang Shi was taken aback, leaned over and picked up the official document, and said to Qu Baiyan: "My lord general, forging the official document of the Yamen Customs is a capital offense. No matter how courageous a villain is, he would not dare to do such a thing of copying his family and exterminating his family."

Qu Baiyan is a fool, but among the dozens of sergeants, there are a few veterans who are quite knowledgeable, knowing that the Shibosi Yamen is very powerful, and the eunuch in charge is the confidant of the emperor and the governor of the East Factory. I can't afford to offend you.Looking at Zhang Shi's speech and behavior, he was neither arrogant nor humble, and the rest of the people were also dressed in silk and satin, and all of them were wealthy people.So even though Qu Baiyan ordered to search the big ship, the sergeants agreed, but they refused to do it.The rest of the sergeants knew that these few veterans had never suffered any disadvantages, so they were the only ones to follow suit.Seeing that these people didn't do anything now, the rest of the sergeants refused to rush into the cabin to search.

Qu Baiyan yelled twice, but although a group of soldiers agreed, they stood upright, and no one searched.Annoyed, he pulled out the steel knife with his right hand, and said in his mouth: "Fuck, you bastards, don't you want me to do it myself?!"

All the sergeants looked at each other in blank dismay, and agreed sparsely.It's just that both feet are still nailed to the ground, and no one has made a move.

Qu Bai's eyes became more and more annoyed, he kicked the sergeant standing next to him holding a torch, and shouted: "Go and search for me!"

The sergeant's name was Hu San, he was originally a rascal who hung out with Qu Baiyan in Fuzhou City, he had always been in collusion with Qu Baiyan, helping the evildoers and doing many bad things.After Qu Baiyan joined the army, he became the squad leader.Hu San was also called into the navy by him and became his die-hard brother.This person always obeyed Qu Baiyan's orders, but now he was kicked by Qu Baiyan, and immediately jumped up, holding a torch in his left hand, drawing a waist knife in his right hand, and shouted at all the soldiers: "Didn't you hear the orders of your lord?! Search quickly!" !"

He said as he rushed to the cabin.A group of sergeants standing at the entrance of the cabin gave way one after another, watching the man rush into the cabin.Several veterans showed gloating expressions on their faces, as if they wished that this person would fall into the pit.

Seeing this situation, shopkeeper Hu and others were all anxious, and all looked at Zhang Shi.Zhang Shi didn't expect to meet such an illiterate and unruly fool as Qu Baiyan, who held the customs of the Shibosi Yamen, but treated it like a blank sheet of paper.Although Zhang Shi didn't know what shopkeeper Hu sent to Fusang, but all these years, shopkeeper Hu and others only asked him to deliver the goods, and they were all shady things.This time shopkeeper Hu and others were even more sneaky and careful, and the goods they transported were definitely not ordinary things.If they are searched out by this second-five-eyed guy and escorted everyone to the Fujian navy camp, they will definitely cause big trouble.Thinking of this, Zhang Shi gritted his teeth, turned his head and nodded slightly to Li Qiufeng, indicating that if these officers and soldiers searched forcibly, they would ask Li Qiufeng to kill them.

Li Qiufeng saw that although the military officer was arrogant, it was also his duty to intercept the ship and search it.This person is confused, but he is also loyal to his duty.Therefore, even though he saw Zhang Shi nodding to himself, he naturally refused to kill the officers and soldiers, and thought to himself that he only needed to knock down these officers and soldiers and not get in the way of his own affairs.However, it is not difficult to defeat the dozens of sergeants on board, the trouble is the dozens of sergeants left on the warship.These people still had three cannons in their hands. If they saw the leading military officer and a dozen sergeants being knocked down by themselves, and randomly fired at them with cannons, they would have to die in the sea.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he didn't act immediately, watching the sergeant break into the cabin.Zhang Shi was shocked and angry, thinking that Li Qiufeng was afraid of the government's punishment, so he didn't dare to deal with the officers and soldiers.He thought to himself, I thought that if I promised a lot of money, I could make this kid work for me.Who knows that this person is also a coward, seeing the tyranny of the officers and soldiers, he was scared to death, what should I do? !
