high official

Chapter 786 The Uninvited Guest

There is a saying that every line is like a mountain, but this sentence has no effect on Ji Gang's subordinates. The first deal of these former Jin Yiwei turned pirates is very beautiful!In less than a day, a dozen villages and a town were looted, and they returned triumphantly, laden with looted items and women.

But Youdao is a family of officials and bandits. Seeing how familiar they are, they are obviously on the same side as bandits, so the old saying can be said to be correct.

Back on Xugong Island, the brothers happily carried the looted things off the boat, and now they finally don't have to worry about Dudu Ji's wedding!The soldiers wrapped the red silk and red cloth and even the red quilt they had looted everywhere, and hung up red lanterns and pasted crooked "囍" characters on them.Cleaned out Ji Gang's room again, installed red candles and silver curtains, spread brand-new dragon and phoenix quilts, even moved in a chest of drawers and a large wardrobe, and a decent new house was furnished!

Looking at everything in the new house, Yuan Jiang was full of praise: "This matter is well done! Old Xu has made progress!"

"Hey, of course..." Xu Ying scratched his belly proudly.

"What progress?" Qianhu, who was going to rob with him next to him, said mercilessly, "It's just that a family just happened to marry a daughter-in-law, and let him take care of everything!"

"I mean..." Yuan Jiang laughed loudly and said, "If you snatch all the things that people get married, how can you let them marry a bride?"

"Why do you marry a new wife?" Qianhu said with a strange smile: "He has already snatched the new wife to be Mrs. Yazhai!"

"I'll do it for you, hehe..." Thinking of the delicate and cute little bride, Xu Yingxian's stomach felt like a fire was burning.I can't wait to rush back and deal with that little girl!

Everyone was chatting and laughing, when suddenly a hundred households rushed in and reported in horror: "My lord, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are chasing you!"

"What?!" Yuan Jiang and the others were taken aback, they didn't expect the officers and soldiers to find this place!The three of them didn't care about anything else, they ran to the watchtower of the barracks to take a look, and sure enough, they saw more than a dozen large ships of the same style coming with their sails sailing!Such a neat and uniform ship is obviously owned by the government.Judging by their heading, it was obvious that they were headed straight for Xugong Island!It will enter Hong Kong after a meal at most!
"Let the brothers prepare for the battle quickly!" Yuan Jiang ordered loudly, and personally rang the alarm bell on the watchtower!
The alarm bells of "clang, clang, clang..." alarmed the officers and soldiers who were preparing for the wedding, and also alarmed the governor Ji Gangji who was tailoring his clothes.

However, they said that when Xu Yingxian and the others robbed the town, they also captured the tailor in the town and ordered him to cut red and auspicious clothes for the bride and groom. At this moment, the tailor was trembling with a ruler and gesticulating on Ji Gang... Hearing the alarm bell , Ji Gang's complexion changed drastically, he pushed the tailor away, and strode out!

The Xugong Temple on the mountainside also heard the alarm bell. Wang Xingye stood up and looked out through the window lattice. Unfortunately, his view of the east side hall was completely blocked by the wall, so he couldn't see anything...

Xu Miaojin in the main hall was able to see the situation on the sea through the open door. When she saw the imposing fleet, her heart was filled with excitement...it was him!It must be him!He has come to save me!I knew that he was my destiny!

Looking at Xu Miaojin who was holding onto the window lattice tightly with both hands, eyes filled with tears of excitement, Zheng Xiu'er had mixed feelings in her heart...

.

When Ji Gang arrived at the pier, the pier was already in chaos. The soldiers ran around like headless chickens. Some wanted to board the ship, some wanted to go to the fort, and some didn't know what to do, so they just ran around in a daze.

Let these infantry suddenly switch to sailors, such chaos is inevitable.Therefore, the saying that interlacing is like a mountain is indeed correct.

Ji Gang frowned, ignored the subordinates running around, and went straight to the watchtower, the fleet was getting closer!Standing on the observation deck, you can already clearly see the details of the ship, as well as the flag flying on the bow!
"Captain," Yuan Jiang hurriedly reported, "These ships don't look like warships." After all, he had never been in contact with a navy, so he couldn't tell them apart just by their outlines, until the ships approached, and there were no forts on them, and no collisions. It turned out that it didn't seem to be a combat ship.

"Nonsense!" Ji Gang spat, "This is a fucking salt boat from the Salt Transportation Department!"

"The old ancestor is really well-informed!" Xu Yingxian quickly flattered him.

"Fart!" As a result, the flattery was slapped on the horse's hoof, and Ji Gang said angrily, "Are you blind? Didn't you see the big flag hanging on the bow, what is written on it?"

Everyone really didn't look carefully, of course it was because they were far away and couldn't see clearly. Now they took a closer look, and saw a line of big black characters on the big flag, "Transporting Salt Envoys from the Two Zhejiang Provinces". There is also a slightly smaller flag with a big "Yang" character on it!

"Salt transporter from Zhejiang and Zhejiang, isn't that Yang Wei?" In front of Yuan Jiang, a vicious and wretched fat man appeared!
"Who isn't he?" Ji Gang sneered and said, "He is a loyal subordinate of the King of Han, and it is fate to meet him here!"

"Old ancestor," Xu Ying said with wide eyes, "You said he didn't come to beat us?"

"It's not up to him to fight the Salt Transport Division." Ji Gang laughed loudly: "A bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals who transport salt, how can they fight us? Kill us with salt?"

"Haha, that's right..." Everyone laughed, most of their hearts were relieved.However, to be on the safe side, we still remained on guard and sent the Clippers vigilantly to contact the other party and ask them about their intentions.

During the meal, the fast boat went back and forth, and brought back an experience of a salt transportation officer, who saluted Ji Gang and said: "My family's transfer envoy escorted the official salt to Beijing, because there is a storm ahead, so I led the people to escape. .”

"Oh?" Ji Gang and the others looked at each other, thinking that this was too coincidental. Yuan Jiang and the others asked Ji Gang with their eyes. He grinned: "Well, your transfer envoy and I are old friends, please just go to Hong Kong to avoid the wind."

"Thank you, my lord!" The joyful person thanked Ji Gang, and boarded the boat to report back.

Looking at the back of the experience, Yuan Jiang whispered: "Captain, what do you think?"

"This Yang Wei is Zhu Gaoxu's old subordinate. Now that the King of Han tree has fallen, these hozens will definitely suffer." Ji Gang said slowly: "They are also people who have fallen in the end of the world, and there is no harm in contacting them."

"Beware of fraud!" Yuan Jiang said worriedly.

"Don't be afraid!" Ji Gang shook his head and said, "Since he said it was a salt boat, he would have at most a few hundred people under his command. Brothers, be careful, what kind of waves can he make with such a small number of people?" He laughed grimly. Said: "If he dares to mess around, I will kill him! Eat more than a dozen of his official salt!"

"That's several million taels of silver!" Xu Yingxian was drooling, he completely regarded himself as a pirate.

"Anyway, let's wait and see what happens." Watching the salt boats slowly enter the port, Ji Gang tightened his cloak, and said in a deep voice, "Let's welcome them!"

.

"Oh," the boat arrived at the pier, and a big fat man standing on the bow of the boat excitedly clenched his fists at Ji Gang: "It really is Brother Ji!"

"Xiandi Yang!" Ji Gang also cupped his fists in return, and said with a smile, "What wind brought you here?"

"Typhoon." As soon as the pedal was set up, the big fat man couldn't wait to run down. His heavy body made the pedal squeaky, making people worry that he might fall into the sea.

Fortunately, the fat man went ashore smoothly, knelt down to Ji Gang, and burst into tears: "Brother, I found you!"

"Eh?" Ji Gang was taken aback when he heard the sound, he raised the fat man named Yang Wei with both hands, and asked tentatively, "Didn't brother transport salt to Beijing and come to escape in a storm?"

"That's just rhetoric!" Yang Wei said with snot and tears, "Hey, it's a long story for a child without a mother..."

"Let's go back to the camp and talk about it." Ji Gang gave Yuan Jiang and the others a wink, and let Yang Wei enter the barracks sideways.

In the barracks, the soldiers lined up neatly. These are all from the official Jinyiwei. Although they have fallen into the grass now, after all, the time is still short. To that stop, they are still the demeanor of the emperor's personal guards!In order to calm down Yang Wei, Ji Gang put everyone on display, and it seemed to work well, but the fat face surnamed Yang was full of awe that couldn't be concealed!
Ji Gang was slightly complacent, and let Yang Wei into the barracks. Yang Wei saw that there were lights and festoons everywhere, hanging red and green, and there were also stickers with the word "Happy", he couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Brother, who is this going to get married?"

"Hehe..." Ji Gang smiled without saying a word.

"Ah!" Yang Wei suddenly said: "It must be my brother!" As he spoke, his fat face turned into a lotus flower with a smile, and he bowed and congratulated: "Congratulations to brother, congratulations to brother, how can I say that I am lucky? Time to drink brother's wedding wine."

"Yes, yes." Ji Gang invited Yang Wei into the room with a smile, made tea served, turned around, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, tell me, which song is this?"

"It's about... the hero of the world returns to Wagang." Yang Wei said with a bitter face, "Brother doesn't know something, but my lord suddenly sent a letter a while ago, saying that he was going to start a rebellion, and asked me to prepare to cooperate!"

"En." Ji Gang drank his tea, nodded, and listened to him.

"Although I have been a salt official for more than ten years, my wealth and life are all given by the prince. Naturally, I have no shirkable responsibility, so I gave the prince all the official salt money of the two Zhejiang provinces this year plus the accumulated savings over the years, totaling 3000 million taels." Yang said. Wei frowned and said: "I and a group of old brothers are actively recruiting troops, and I really hope that if the prince has an incident, we will respond in Zhejiang."

"Oh," Ji Gang put down the teacup and said, "What happened?"

"As a result..." Yang Wei said bitterly as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis: "My lord suddenly wrote another letter, saying that the emperor has long been prepared and it's over, let us try to protect ourselves." He rubbed his head vigorously and said: "I'm in trouble now, 3000 million taels of holes, how can I mend them?!" He looked at Ji Gang pitifully and said, "Later I heard that Brother Ji also rebelled and took his brothers out to sea from Shanghai County. , I hurriedly took my brother with me, came out in the name of transporting salt to the imperial court, and joined my brother!"
