Fang Bie frowned slightly and looked at the man on the stage who called himself Wang Zhi.
He looks to be of medium build, with gray hair. He wears a navy blue Confucian robe, with his hair tied up in a high crown. He looks like a standard scholar, which makes him in no way connected with the famous overseas pirate.
Among those rumors, the maritime overlord known as King Hui not only killed people without blinking an eye, but was also very good at taking advantage of others.
Most of his maritime supremacy was achieved by annexing competitors.
"Are you Wang Zhi?" Some people in the audience were not sure that the host of the Duzun Club was Wang Zhi. Just like when Master Zhenru received the invitation from the Duzun Club, she actually didn't know that this time. Details of the event.
After all, Wang Zhi's name was not written on the invitation to the Duzun Club.
"That's right." Wang Zhi looked at the person who spoke and spoke quietly. His tone was light and unfazed. He didn't seem to have the aura of a maritime overlord, but rather the gentleness of a Confucian scholar.
"Are you manipulating the situation in the southeast and leading the Japanese pirates to invade our rivers and mountains?" The man continued angrily: "This is a national traitor, and we must surround and punish him now!"
As soon as he said this, the expressions of several people around him changed, and they couldn't help but take a few steps away from him.
The man looked around: "Are you afraid because you know he is Wang Zhi?"
"This is a national traitor! Do national traitors understand?"
Luan Yunfei, who was beside the high platform, had a calm face, as if he had not seen this person.
He said that if anyone takes action inside the tent, they are his enemies.
But now it was just shouting, and he pretended not to hear it.
Wang Zhi looked at the person who spoke with interest and smiled: "Little brother, do you think I am a national traitor?"
"Who is your little brother!" The man objected flatly: "My parents and brothers are all villagers on the seaside. They were unfortunately killed because of Japanese pirates invading the border."
"I have also killed a few Japanese pirates, but there is a constant stream of Japanese pirates, like insects. No matter how hard I kill them, I can't kill them all!"
Wang Zhi was still not angry at all: "Actually, if I told you that I killed more Japanese people than everyone here combined, would you believe it?"
"At least more Japanese people died under my men than Chinese people died under my men."
"Do you believe it?"
"Fuck your mother's stinky shit!" the man yelled angrily: "You are just a Japanese dog, a dog that barks and barks to guard the house!"
"You're still killing Japanese people?"
"I'm not afraid of making other people laugh."
Wang Zhi looked at the other person, watching him use foul language, but still looked calm: "Little brother, are you going to use your mouth to reason, or are you going to use your fists to reason?"
"I have a lot of truths to tell you. I don't know which one you want to listen to?"
"Who wants to reason with you..." The man said halfway, but at some point, two people appeared in front of and behind him seemingly casually, and then they took out the hidden swords from their arms and placed them on his neck. .
Feeling the touch of the cold blade against his skin, he finally woke up a little.
Fang Bie watched this good show intently, while Xue Ling leaned close to Fang Bie's ear, and the girl's warm breath hit Fang Bie's earlobe.
"What kind of medicine is sold in Wang Zhi Gourd?"
"Just watch if there's a show." Fang Bie simply replied with four words and glanced at Guang Jiqi.
Guang Ji Qi was the one who was most determined to kill Wang Zhi among all the people here. Guang Ji Qi didn't even move, and the others were worried.
"What's your name?" Wang Zhi looked at the man who was unknowingly struck by a sword, still with a calm smile.
"I..." The man wanted to curse again, but suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He could only utter the word "I" and was completely speechless.
Wang Zhi shook his head: "Little brother, I don't want to kill you. Maybe you are not afraid of death, but I just ask you if you want to live."
"I'll count to three. If you are going to seek your own death, then I will send you on your way, little brother."
"One." Wang Zhi counted out one word quietly.
The other party was trembling all over, and he neither dared to say that he wanted to die nor that he wanted to live.
"Two." Wang looked directly into the other person's eyes.
Cold sweat broke out on his body.
"Three." Wang Zhi's three hands made a preamble. The other party finally couldn't hold on anymore and opened his mouth and said: "Qian Zhou! My name is Qian Zhou!"
"I thought you were going to Huangquan Road without even saying your name." Wang Zhi shook his head and said, "I went to great lengths to invite many martial arts comrades here today, not to kill people and establish prestige, but And I don’t like others to make trouble.”
"You say I am a traitor to the country, but I, Wang Zhi, never think so."
"You said that your parents and brothers were all killed by Japanese pirates, right?" Wang Zhi looked at the other person and said.
"Yes..." Qian Zhou said through gritted teeth, and then said bitterly: "When you ask someone else, do you have to point a knife at their neck to ask?"
"It was not necessary originally." Wang Zhi smiled: "Don't say I'm petty, but my little brother, your performance makes me feel uneasy, so I can only feel wronged."
With that said, Wang Zhi continued: "Do you know when the Japanese pirate rebellion started?"
"How do I know this!" Qian Zhou objected.
"Then the Japanese pirate rebellion in the southeast was caused by me, Wang Zhi, who led the wolf into the house alone?" Wang Zhi looked at Qian Zhou and continued.
Qian Zhou looked at Wang Zhi: "Isn't it?"
In fact, almost everyone was watching the conversation between Wang Zhi and Qian Zhou. For a while, this had become the focus of the entire tent.
Fang Bie frowned.
Even he didn't know whether Qian Zhou was the actor invited by Wang Zhi.
It's not true, but after Qian Zhou appeared on the scene, he pointed the topic in a very dangerous direction, as if he was doing public opinion work specifically for Wang Zhi.
But let's face it, Qian Zhou's acting skills are so good that no one else can see any flaws.
If this is the case, then there is only one possibility, and that is that Wang Zhi's ability to control the field and adapt to changes is too good. Such a character is worthy of the existence of a generation of heroes.
"I, Wang Zhi, am fifty-six years old this year, and I have passed my destiny." Wang Zhi looked at Qian Zhou and said calmly: "As early as when I was your age, the Japanese pirate rebellion was rising in the southeast, although it was not as severe as it is now. Corruption, but it also comes one after another. When I first went to sea to do business, what I was most afraid of was meeting those Japanese pirates, so every merchant ship on the sea was equipped with fire guns, bows and arrows as a defense."
"You want to say that before I Wang Zhi, there were no Japanese pirates. After I Wang Zhi, Japanese pirates started to invade the border. I can only feel a great grievance."
"But others say that your home base is in Japan!" Qian Zhou was speechless for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and shouted: "Even your home base is in Japan, how can you be wronged by saying that you are a lackey of the Japanese people?"
"You are wrong about this." Wang Zhi shook his head: "I am in Japan, and others call me Boss Wang from China."
"So I also feel aggrieved. In China, others always think that I am from Japan, and in Japan, others always think that I am from China."
"This is the fate of traitors and traitors!" Qian Zhou yelled angrily.
Wang Zhi smiled: "No, no, little brother, I am neither a traitor nor a traitor to the country."
"Actually, before today, I was just a businessman."
"Contrary to what you think, my business is not to send those Japanese wolves and tigers every day and put them on the southeast coast like sheep, watch them burn, kill and loot, watch them loot homes, and then move Carrying big and small bags, come back and divide the gold into the big scale and the silver into the small scale." Wang Zhi looked at the people in front of him and sighed and said: "I have tens of thousands of mouths under my command, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the imperial court, and even more Besides, I have parents and children who need to support my tens of thousands of mouths. If something happens to me at sea, I will have to pay for it, otherwise, who would be willing to go to sea with me?"
Wang Zhi's expression was indifferent: "The three melons and two dates I earned from robbing houses are not enough to give the mouths of my subordinates a toothpaste. If I, Wang Zhi, really got into that situation, then you don't need to do anything, I, Wang Zhi, will be the first." A man who committed suicide on this stage, how can he face the Jiangdong elders in this life?"
Qian Zhou was a little stunned when he heard this.
To be honest, he himself didn't know much about it.
After all, he has never read a book, and his travels in the world are just hearsay.
It is said that Wang Zhi is a big pirate. Nine out of ten Japanese pirates who come to the southeast coast are his subordinates, or they are inextricably related to him.
As long as Wang Zhi is killed alone, then the sea and rivers on the southeast coast will be clear in an instant, and there will be peace.
Besides—Wang Zhi, a pirate leader, doesn’t rob homes, oppress good people, or burn, kill, and loot. How can he support himself?
But after hearing what Wang Zhi said, Qian Zhou also reacted.
He's not a fool either.
Wang Zhi had so many ships and tens of thousands of people at sea. Although Japanese pirates were rampant, it was difficult for Japanese pirates to break into wealthy counties in the past. Moreover, people in small villages and towns were like woolly leeks. Although they were harvested, One stubble grows after another, and one stubble is harvested for another. But if you always have to catch a piece of leek field to cut it, and always catch a sheep to harvest it, then even the leek field sprinkled with golden squid cannot withstand such tossing. .
Wang Zhi said that Japanese pirates were rampant when he was a child. Qian Zhou didn't know this, but Qian Zhou at least knew that the last twenty years were the twenty years of Wang Zhi's rise. During these twenty years, Japanese pirates continued to harass the border area, but what exactly did the Japanese pirates steal? How many things were taken away? If you think about it carefully, it's probably not much.
At least not enough for these pirates to gradually strengthen themselves.
To put it bluntly, these capitalless businesses, robbing homes and houses, and cutting paths to become kings, will not last long after all.
"Then how do you make money? Is it possible that you still have a cornucopia?" Qian Zhou looked at Wang Zhi and said.
The most famous businessman in Yingtian Mansion is Shen Wansan, and Shen Wansan is most famous for his cornucopia of treasures.
How could Wang Zhi support such a huge family fortune without a cornucopia?
"A cornucopia?" Wang Zhi smiled: "To be honest, I do have that thing."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was a little stunned.
Everyone knew that the cornucopia was just a myth, but Wang Zhi openly said in public that he really had a cornucopia, which made people think.
"I was just joking." Qian Zhou said quickly.
"I know little brother is joking, but I don't mean to joking at all." Wang Zhi looked at Qian Zhou's expression and said lightly.
"Not only do I really have a cornucopia, I also have the largest cornucopia in the world."
"Do you still remember what I said at the beginning?" Wang Zhi smiled: "You all say that I am a big pirate. In fact, I know that I am just a businessman. The only difference is that my The business is a bit big and the business is a bit far-reaching.”
"Everyone knows that there is Shen Wansan in Yingtian Mansion. He is a wealthy man known as Shen Bancheng. However, in the end, he was jealous of the court because he was so rich that he could not rival the country. His family was confiscated and his family was banished. He worked hard all his life to make wedding clothes for others."
"Shen Wansan actually does have a cornucopia, and Shen Wansan's cornucopia and my Wang Zhi's cornucopia may be the same one."
"You're always talking about a cornucopia of treasures, but you brought it out to open our eyes."
At this time, someone in the crowd couldn't help but speak.
After all, people always like new things. If there is such a magical thing as a cornucopia, even if you can't keep it for yourself, it would be good to open your eyes and have more bragging rights in the future.
"My cornucopia is too big, and this big tent can't fit in it." Wang Zhi said calmly.
"Stop bragging." Someone else in the audience said, "Why don't you say your cornucopia is as big as the sky?"
"It's not as big as the sky." Wang Zhi smiled and said, "But it's only a little smaller than the sky."
When Wang Zhi said these words, some people in the audience began to understand.
Wang Zhi looked at the reaction below and understood that someone had guessed it.
"Yes, my cornucopia is this sea."
"This cornucopia is as big as the sea. Money placed in it can make money. Two things give birth to two things, two things make three things, and three things make everything."
"Originally, I, Wang Zhi, only had a capital of five taels of silver. Now, I don't know how many times it has doubled."
"But it is estimated from a small amount that it may be tens of millions of taels, or even tens of millions of taels, I'm afraid it's not a problem."
Wang Zhi said this while looking at Qian Zhou's expression: "As for now, little brother Qian Zhou, you should understand that I, Wang Zhi, am not a traitor to the country."
"No one in this world can afford to let me, Wang Zhi, become a national thief."
"On the contrary, I can give others an affordable price."
Having said this, Wang Zhi smiled and looked at Qian Zhou: "Brother Qian Zhou, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Qian Zhou had been completely deceived by Wang Zhi's words, and he had even forgotten why he was angry and angry in the first place.
Then I remembered that the reason why I started to attack was because Wang Zhi was the leader of the Japanese pirates.
But when Wang Zhi said this, it was true that those Japanese pirates were not worthy of carrying Wang Zhi's shoes.
Seeing that Qian Zhou was silent for a while, Wang Zhi smiled and waved his hand, and naturally someone dragged Qian Zhou down.
"Just a little sideshow."
"I invite everyone here today just to show you some treasures."
