Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 203 Innocent
Accompanied by that sudden sound, torches lit up on the cliff.

It was only then that everyone realized that the big ship had fallen into siege unknowingly.

"Wang Zhen!"

The fat man exclaimed in shock, apparently recognizing the identity of the speaker.

All the boatmen on the big ship trembled in unison when they heard the name "Wang Zhen".

Seeing that Jiangnan didn't respond, a boatman who was closer to Jiangnan explained in a low voice that this Wang is really a pirate leader in the nearby waters, with more than 100 pirates under his command.

Different from ordinary pirates, this Wang Zhen not only "offloads goods", but also loves to kill people.

Especially when he kills people, he also plays a game called "order soldiers and generals".

Unlike children who play "whoever is clicked, whoever follows me, if you don't leave, you will be a puppy", Wang Zhen "orders soldiers and generals" and calls "whoever clicks will be unlucky".

The result of "unlucky" is naturally the loss of life.

Moreover, Wang Zhen's method of killing people is very unique.

He said that only butchers always find the right place to kill with one blow.He Wang Zhen kills, never in the same way.

To be honest, among the big and small pirates along the coast, Wang Zhen didn't kill many people.

But people are really afraid of Wang, but they are definitely at the forefront.

When you meet other pirates, you will either die or live, it is clear at a glance.When meeting Wang Zhen, no one can guess who died and how he died.

The fear of the unknown is the real fear.

Wang Zhen has never played the game of "order soldiers and generals" without any rules.Sometimes it's just a play, sometimes it's endless.

Legend has it that once, Wang Zhen became addicted to playing, and after killing the target to only one person, he also captured his own men into the game team.That subordinate was unlucky, he was ordered to be a general, and he was brutally killed by Wang Zhen mercilessly using a newly thought-out lingchi technique.

Therefore, people gave Wang Zhen another nickname, "Crazy Wang".

Not only the merchants who come and go are afraid of "Crazy Wang", but even his own subordinates are also afraid.

Crazy, moody, completely unable to guess with the thinking of normal people.

The people on the big boat never thought that they would be so unlucky just to avoid the storm.

"Boss Wang, this time I admit it. I can give you all the goods on this ship. In addition, I can also write you an IOU of 3000 taels. I just hope you can show your kindness and let my brother on this ship go." .” The fat man faced the cliff, cupping his hands bitterly.

"Hehe. You know the current affairs, and you deserve to be called the most promising person to revitalize the Lin family in Yangzhou."

"Unfortunately, I have already collected money from your second brother. If you can write me an IOU of 20 taels, I can consider it so that your death will not be so painful."

Wang Zhen's voice sounded like a bolt from the blue to Fatty's ears.

"What? So it's my second brother..." The fat man said bitterly to himself: "I just said, how come you ambushed in this unnamed harbor by such a coincidence, so someone leaked the route..."

"Hey. I'm not in the mood to care about the bullshit of your aristocratic brother Yan Qiang!"

Wang Zhen interrupted the fat man's self-talk, and said directly: "What I just said, I will give you ten breaths to think about it. If you are willing to write an IOU, I will allow you to cut yourself off."

"Even, none of these fellows on your ship need to be buried with you."

"I can take it back to my subordinates, with me, eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and have a good time."

"Otherwise...hehe, I just learned ten interesting killing techniques from a black-hearted scholar, and I haven't had time to verify them...hehe..."

Crazy Wang's laughter sounded especially permeating in the night.

"Master Lin..."

"boss……"

The boatmen and fellows on the big boat all looked at the fat man in fear.

Perhaps due to past affection, I didn't say it clearly, but the meaning is self-evident.

The fat man looked ugly.

The 20 taels of IOU is also a huge sum of money for the Yangzhou Lin family.

This lunatic Wang might not dare to take the IOU to the Lin family in Yangzhou to ask for money, and if he died, the Lin family might not admit it.

But Crazy Wang can sell this IOU cheaply to a big man who the Lin family can't afford to offend.

To Crazy Wang, it was extortion, but to a big shot, it was justified.

In this way, what was originally illegal becomes legal.

For those big shots, this is an extremely simple operation, all they need is an excuse that doesn't leave too much talk.

20 taels will definitely make the already declining Lin family worse.

While the fat man was worried, he remembered that the culprit was his own second brother, and he couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart: "Second brother, you are leading a wolf into the house!"

This lunatic Wang's appetite obviously exceeded the expectations of his second brother who was bent on killing him and would not hesitate to pay for murder.Not only do you have to earn money from murder, and you have to grab the goods on board, but you also have to use your kind thoughts to force yourself to write an IOU to squeeze out the final value.

Thinking about it, Fatty suddenly felt angry.

Since my second elder brother doesn't care about family affection, and he is about to die, why bother about what will happen to the Lin family in the future!

"Okay! I promise you!" The fat man gritted his teeth sharply, "However, it's not 20 taels, but 50 taels."

"I am a member of the Lin family, and no one knows the assets of the Lin family better than me."

"If we sell the Lin family's shops, land and other fixed assets together, we can definitely make up 50 taels."

"What you said is true?" Wang Zhen said hurriedly.

Apparently, the figure of "50 taels" was a bit out of proportion.

"Of course it's true." The fat man changed the topic: "However, I have one condition."

"You said."

"I want you to release me and all the brothers on board."

Before Wang Zhen could answer, the fat man continued to add: "This ship of sea salt can only be sold for 5000 taels of silver at best. The brothers on board are just ordinary boatmen who can be recruited anywhere. Compared with 50 taels, Not worth mentioning at all.”

"Okay. I promise you."

Wang Zhen nodded without thinking about it.

After the words fell, several ziplines were thrown from the cliff, hooking the side of the big ship.

A man like a bamboo pole, with four men holding weapons, climbed onto the big ship on a zipline.

One of his subordinates actually took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the package on his back, and handed it to the fat man.

Obviously prepared.

The fat man was stunned. He took the brush and spread out the paper, suddenly hesitating.

"What are you thinking? Write!"

Without Wang Zhen's urging, some subordinates waved bright swords and yelled actively.

"Are you talking?"

The fat man looked up at the vicious pirate leader opposite, and asked in a concentrated voice.

"Naturally." Wang Zhen nodded seriously.

The fat man gritted his teeth again, finally made up his mind, and wrote the IOU.

After the fat man signed his name, the pirate holding a torch to illuminate him impatiently grabbed the IOU and presented it to Wang Zhen as if offering a treasure.

"Hahaha……"

Wang Zhen looked at the IOU and laughed triumphantly.

This is definitely the biggest deal he has done in so many years.

After reading the IOU three times in a row, Wang Zhen carefully folded the IOU, wrapped it in a piece of waterproof cowhide, and stuffed it into the innermost part of his underwear.

"Cut them all!"

Wang Zhen waved his hand without warning.

Except for the pirates under Wang Zhen, everyone on board was dumbfounded.

Especially Fatty, who stared at Wang Zhen in disbelief, and asked angrily: "You promised me that as long as you write an IOU, you will let us go? How can you..."

"Hahaha... Can you believe what the pirates say?!"

Wang Zhen laughed disdainfully.

"The person who has the most hope of revitalizing the Lin family in Yangzhou is nothing but a fool..."

The pirates under Wang Zhen also laughed.
