Li Wenliang interjected: "Young Marshal, I'm afraid we won't get anything if we succeed. We can only get some food, which is good! The owner will only give us money when these goods are sent to the shore!"
Liu Haojia said: "This is a trivial matter! I just want to know who is the owner of the nest? As long as the person sent is caught, and with the confession and stolen goods, he can directly send people ashore to communicate with the local government about the capture of the owner. The worst is possible. Give them some money, I think they will be happy to do so!"
Liu Guangting said: "But it depends on the status of the nest owner in the local area. If they have an ordinary status, maybe the government will agree. If they are local powerful people, I am afraid the government will not take action at all!"
Everyone fell silent after hearing this, thinking that what he said made sense. In fact, they now think about it, maybe the owners behind a small group of pirates are ordinary people, but for a large group of pirates like the Great White Shark, the person behind it must be a big businessman with great hands and eyes. If you want to take down such a person, It’s simply impossible in a short time! And even if the evidence is conclusive, the local government may not be willing to take action! After all, the government still relied on local gentry to maintain local rule.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Haojia thought for a while and said, "Let's do it. When the owner of the nest comes to deliver food, he will seize all the people and boats, and the people behind them will also be asked. But we will find an opportunity to deal with it in the future. Bar!"
After thinking about it, everyone had no other choice, so they had no choice but to nod and agree. In fact, Liu Haojia had another intention when he said this. The owner behind such a large-scale pirate must be a local high-profile person! If you can't deal with it head on, it's possible to dress up as a robber and ransack their home if you have the opportunity in the future!
It's just that he didn't tell anyone about it. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to demolish the entire stronghold, leaving no brick or tile for anyone who comes here in the future! In this case, even if pirates reoccupy this place, development will be delayed for a long time.
But after the order was given, a very interesting scene appeared! When the soldiers were demolishing the house, one soldier actually took out more than ten taels of silver from the cracks in the wooden wall! This immediately caused a stir!
Then everyone realized that the silver must have been hidden by a pirate. After all, no one can carry their wealth with them all day long, and they will definitely want to find a safe place to hide it. This silver was hidden by a certain pirate himself.
After figuring this out, the soldiers became excited! After digging into the house to be demolished, a lot of silver jewelry was found! Some soldiers even had precious harvests such as pearls and jade, which made the soldiers extremely excited and made them particularly efficient when working!
When Liu Haojia heard the news, he immediately issued an order that all the things found in the search belong to the soldiers personally. No one is allowed to rob them, and no fights are allowed. Violators will have their proceeds confiscated and will be dealt with according to military law!
With Liu Haojia's order, the soldiers naturally searched more carefully for every place where money might be hidden! Even the cracks in the bricks have to be poked with a knife! As expected, the third scholar was dragged out of the underground by the soldiers! Now Liu Haojia and others are all happy!
With the third master here, Dao morning knows everything! So he immediately asked the scholar to be sent over for interrogation.
The scholar estimated that he was in doom, so he gritted his teeth and remained silent! However, he was not a tyrannical person, so he was whipped hard and had two fingers cut off before he cried out for help! However, Liu Haojia was not in a hurry to ask him where the money was hidden, and directly sent people to escort him to the side island opposite the main island to recruit the pirates.
There are also some pirates living on that side island, but they are all old and weak. Their mission is to grow vegetables on the island! When they saw that the main island had been breached, they were frightened, and the three masters were tied to the bow of the ship and asked to surrender, so these old and weak pirates surrendered directly!
Then, according to the scholar's instructions, the soldiers dug out two places on the island where gold was hidden. Harvest more than one thousand taels of gold and more than eight thousand taels of silver. There are also a lot of jewelry and other things, estimated to be about more than 4,000 taels of silver. As for the miscellaneous goods, there were about two shiploads of them.
However, the biggest fortune was not the gold and silver, but a pile of banker's tickets found in the secret room of Jaws' room, which amounted to more than 80,000 taels! It turned out that these pirates had already deposited the bulk of their harvest in gold and silver shops for easy access in the future.
There is also a pawn ticket to redeem four thousand taels of silver! According to the scholar's account, Great White Shark put some valuable items encountered during the robbery in boxes and pawned them directly. The annual interest of one hundred taels of silver was equivalent to using the pawn shop as a warehouse for storing valuable items! Even scholars think his method is very clever!
Liu Haojia was overjoyed to see the tickets! I didn't expect these pirates to have such flexible ideas! But now that the dealer tickets and pawn tickets are in his hands, and he uses Jaws' own money to get these things back, I wonder if he will be so angry that he comes back from the dead?
As for other matters, the scholar also explained everything thoroughly. For example, the owner of the nest on the shore is a local gentry. This family has been passed down for six generations now. There have been many people in the family. They often give out porridge and medicine, build bridges and pave roads. They are very influential in the local area and can be said to be a tree with deep roots!
However, Liu Haojia's comment to them was: "Don't worry, let's calculate the general ledger together in the future! Anyway, there are already witnesses to prove the stolen goods, and someone will send food to his family immediately, and a batch of witnesses can be added, so we can take care of it slowly when we have time." he!"
The next day, two sea ships arrived. Naturally, there was no way to escape. The whole ship was captured! However, the ship was loaded with grain, shelf-stable vegetables, bacon, wine and other items. Needless to say, the men became prisoners and the ships became trophies! As for food and drinks, it is natural to reward the soldiers.
In this way, Liu Haojia led the fleet around the outer sea, and it took nearly three months to arrive at the outer sea of Fujian at the agreed time. As a result, they merged with the other two fleets halfway!
At this time, Liu Haojia looked at the other two fleets and felt that something was different. They looked faintly murderous! It seems that more than two months of fighting have tempered the fleet, and it looks like an elite soldier! So the three fleets merged into a huge fleet and headed straight for Quanzhou, Fujian.
Since the three fleets have already turned around, it is natural for the chief officers of the two squadrons to report. As a result, before I saw anyone entering the door, I heard someone shouting loudly: "Young Marshal, Young Marshal, do you think my subordinates have brought you something good?"
