Xu Sihai and his gang, who were stuck between the two warships, initially thought that their patron was being killed and silenced. After hearing Zhao Chuan's voice, they saw hope.
Xu Sihai shouted loudly: "Boss of the Zhao family, is that you?~! I am Xu Sihai~!"
"Boss of the Zhao family, is that you?~! I am Xu Sihai~!"
"Boss of the Zhao family, is that you?~! I am Xu Sihai~!"
After three calls in a row, the soldiers on both sides who were about to fight stopped taking action.
The eldest son of the Zhao family, Zhao Chuangui, you can tell who he is calling. Besides, Xu Sihai's name is still very famous on the Yangtze River.
Loyalty and wealth
Kind-hearted
Be principled in doing things
Of course, those who offend him will not suffer the consequences.
Zhao Chuan was confused. Why did he meet Xu Sihai? Xu Sihai and his father were brothers who came out of the army together. However, his father did not want to continue working and went into seclusion. Xu Sihai He took people down the river.
Because Xu Sihai, who had limited skills at that time, went out of his way to learn skills from Zhao Hai, the two became both teachers and friends. The Zhao family also received a lot of help from Xu Sihai when they settled down to farm. Later, when he went to the river himself, he was also taken care of a lot. , according to his seniority, he is Zhao Chuan's uncle and half master.
Zhao Chuan first ordered his subordinates to light the lamps, and then shouted to the much shorter smuggling boat: "Uncle Sihai?"
After confirming that it was Zhao Chuan's voice, Xu Sihai hurriedly replied: "It's me, it's me, don't do anything yet~!"
Zhao Chuan thought for a while and then ordered his subordinates: "The crossbowmen continue to hold the crossbows, and a few people will come and prepare to go down with me."
Among the five smuggling boats, the boss stopped and stopped moving. Both sides held lamps to communicate.
It's true that Jiangshan doesn't care about life and death when he's seeking life, but can anyone deliberately commit suicide when they've had enough to eat and have nothing to do?
Zhao Chuan and Xu Sihai could see each other clearly under the lights in the night sky.
Zhao Chuan: "Uncle Sihai, did you take this job?"
Xu Sihai nodded helplessly: "Yes, Zhao family boss, didn't you join His Majesty's New Navy?"
Zhao Chuan nodded: "Yes, we are from the East China Sea Fleet, under Commander Gan."
Xu Sihai: "That's good, that's good. I thought the employer sent people to kill people and silence them?"
Then Xu Sihai asked Zhao Chuan: "Did you get the letter?"
Zhao Chuan nodded: "The commander has received the letter and ordered us to come over."
Xu Sihai: "Can you let the brothers go? I am willing to follow you to see Shangguan."
The people around Xu Sihai were naturally unwilling.
"Boss, you can't go"
"Boss wants to die together."
"Boss"
Xu Sihai glared at the people around him and scolded: "Shut up and listen to my arrangements. You are still young and have wives and children. I, Xu Sihai, have nothing to worry about."
"Boss"
Xu Sihai: "Boss of the Zhao family, do you think it can work~!"
Zhao Chuan shook his head: "Uncle Sihai, you know the rules in the army. Besides, His Majesty ordered a strict investigation. Even if I let them go, they will still be fugitives when they go back."
Xu Sihai sighed: "I was the one who harmed them. I originally thought of giving up after this trip, but now it's too late~!"
Zhao Chuan smiled: "Uncle Sihai, if you can trust me, I will ask the brothers to put the guy down first. I am willing to introduce Uncle Sihai and the brothers to the commander. The commander does not value the origin, as long as he follows sincerely. Just do it”
Zhao'an?
Officers and soldiers?
Xu Sihai was also in this field back then, and the twists and turns are very clear, but it seems that there is really no way out. The Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the laws are getting stricter, especially from the new emperor Li Mingda. After Jin Yiwei came out, he even cleaned up the entire Tang Dynasty.
Although there are still some things that are difficult to eradicate, at least there are fewer desperadoes, gangsters, and corrupt officials in the market.
The great purge in Jingzhou some time ago was really scary. The famous families who had taken root in this land for hundreds of years disappeared overnight.
Think before and after
Xu Sihai followed the starlight and dim lights, and looked into the eyes of the brothers around him.
They hope to continue living.
In the end, he chose to surrender under the eyes and expectations of many brothers: "Brothers, put down your hands. We believe in the character of the boss of the Zhao family. Maybe everyone will be an official in two days."
almost
No need to die
There is no need to run away desperately.
Blah blah blah
jingle bell
A group of people dropped their weapons.
Xu Sihai turned around to follow Zhao Chuan and was about to leave. A person behind him quietly reached out and touched his lower back.
A sharp short knife appeared in his hand, and without saying a word, he stabbed Xu Sihai in the back of the heart and shouted loudly: "The traitor will die~!"
"Boss, be careful"
Xu Sihai turned around subconsciously and reached out to draw the knife, but he had already dropped the knife just now.
At the moment of life and death, a foot wearing military boots appeared from behind Xu Sihai and kicked the opponent directly in the face.
Snapped
ah
The foot and the other person's nose were put together. For a moment, the blood and teeth flew out of the other person's mouth and nostrils. The murderer covered his face and lay on the boat howling.
The subordinates around Zhao Chuan and other people on the boat gathered around, held him down, punched and kicked him, and then tied him up.
The moment of life and death just now made Xu Sihai's heart beat faster. Now he is holding his heart and gasping for breath. At the same time, he is also grateful for Zhao Chuan's kick just now.
almost
"Boss of the Zhao family, your boxing and kicking skills are even better than your father's back then."
Zhao Chuan smiled: "Uncle Sihai, I am better than my master."
Xu Sihai: "Okay, don't show this off here like a big boss like me."
Zhao Chuan: "Uncle Sihai, who are you kidding? My father told me that Uncle Sihai was Yun Wen and Yun Wu back then."
Xu Sihai: "I'm old, I can't survive anymore. If it hadn't been for your kick just now, I would have died today."
Before Gan Ning arrived, Zhao Chuan continued to tease Xu Sihai: "Uncle Sihai, you can't do this. Everyone around you has been bribed."
Xu Sihai looked proud: "They also have your uncle's people around them. This is called coming and going."
Zhao Chuan gave a thumbs up: "Sure enough, the old fox is the most cunning."
Xu Sihai blew his beard angrily and glared: "You little kid, how can you talk to elders like this?"
The two chatted for a while, but did not pay attention to the person who had just been assassinated. For example, they asked why you killed me and whose person you are.
It's not necessary. The reason why TV series and movies have this is to add some drama. It's hard for anyone who really does this business not to know that there is someone being bribed around them, or even know who they are.
Everyone just turns a blind eye. The patrons want to know if you are trustworthy, and you also want to know if the patrons abide by the rules, right?
Therefore, Xu Sihai, who has been running on the river for many years, is used to seeing this kind of situation, fighting for power and killing, and he has personally executed many old brothers who made mistakes in the past.
Gan Ning, who originally wanted to kill them, surrounded them with his fleet, but found that the scene had been calmed down. He couldn't help but be stunned. When did it become easier to arrest the desperadoes on the smuggling ship?
