Chapter 1762 The Pirate Doomsday
After a violent storm, the violent sea gradually calmed down.
The night falls, the sea is silent, the rippling waves surround the ship and sway slightly, the moon disappears and the stars appear, and the stars twinkle.
The hustle and bustle in the harbor of Xianglu Island gradually stopped. Dozens of large merchant ships gathered in the harbor, plus various pirate ships, crowding the small harbor. There is no need to unload the cargo on the ship. You only need to sail the merchant ship to Japan, Nanyang and other places in a few days. Merchants will come to buy it. Anyway, they are all robbed. Selling the whole ship is easier than selling the goods. It is natural that the market price should be lower.
Even if it was only sold at 30% of the original price according to previous rules, the income this time was still hundreds of thousands of coins, and all the pirates were so happy that they almost jumped up!
And compared with the richness of the gains, the price paid is almost negligible...
The whole island is partying!
Since their return in the evening, the pirates have flocked to the island to celebrate. The bonfires were full of enthusiasm and continued until dark, when they fell asleep one by one, drunk and drunk.
There was no warning and everyone relaxed their vigilance.
The Tang Dynasty navy had already sailed north to Goguryeo, and was now thousands of miles away. The fleet composed of Jiangnan nobles was vulnerable and had been completely slaughtered. Who else could endanger their safety in this vast and vast sea?
Even the nominal leader Wang Boss opened his heart to have fun...
In the big house, Boss Wang got up from the two beautiful women's bodies with sweat all over his body. Baring his shoulder and chest hair, he grabbed the teapot on the side and filled half of it. He wiped the sweat from his long forehead. When I breathed out my breath, I felt the energy of the dragon and the tiger flowing freely.
But the two women on the bed who had been snatched away a few days ago had already been exhausted by his torture. Their fair skin was full of marks of gnawing and scratching, with bruises and bruises. They were lying there like zombies at the moment. I closed my eyes and cried silently, my body was in a mess...
After Wang boss vented his abundant energy, he opened the door and walked outside in a robe. He saw a subordinate hurriedly walking towards him and reported excitedly: "Big boss, catch some big fish! ”
"Oh? What's going on?"
Boss Wang sat down in the hall with a golden sword and asked curiously.
The subordinate chuckled, with a proud face, and said: "During the melee today, I saw a large ship retreating without a trace. It seemed that it wanted to escape from the battlefield without being noticed. ! The younger one led several boats to catch up. It turned out that the helmsman of the other boat was probably a fool. Such a big wind and wave actually filled the sails and ran sideways. Before the younger one could catch up, damn him, he capsized by himself! The younger one saw that the ship was very big, he must be a big shot in the caravan, maybe he was a prominent figure in a major family, so he was captured alive. It’s a huge ransom! Even if you ask someone to go up and fish it out in the sea, don’t worry, you can actually fish out a big one for the little one!”
"Get out of here, you idiot! If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have any farts, be quick to say it. Do you believe that I will kick you to death?"
Boss Wang was very dissatisfied with this appetizing behavior and raised his foot to kick him.
The subordinate hurriedly said: "Don't be upset, big boss... We caught seven or eight people in total. Guess what happened?"
His habit of showing off was probably due to his terminal illness, and he always thought about selling something like this, but when he saw Boss Wang’s eyebrows raised, he jumped and quickly said honestly: "Young man, I just looked at the way that guy was dressed. He's not an ordinary person, but he said he was just a cashier! How could he believe it, so he pushed his head into the sea and drowned him immediately? "
At this point, he paused habitually, maybe because he wanted to win a few compliments, or maybe just to show off, but when he saw Boss Wang picking up the teapot and about to throw it at him, he immediately woke up and said that he was so talkative. He quickly said: "This guy is actually a descendant of the Xiao family, and he is Xiao Mao's second son!"
Boss Wang was stunned for a moment.
How could anyone not know about the dignified Lanling Xiao family?
In the entire Jiangnan area, even though the Xiao family does not have the power of an emperor, it is still rampant and powerful. They are present in all walks of life. Even the "three major gangs" that once ravaged the East China Sea, two of them are more or less powerful. It may be inextricably related to the Xiao family...
Although Xiao Mao is not a direct descendant of the Xiao family, as the Xiao family's spokesperson in the business world, Mr. Wang has naturally heard of him.
This is really a big fish!
The Xiao family is the wealthiest in the south of the Yangtze River. In recent years, there has been a saying of "Southern Xiao and Beifang", which means that Fang Jun of Chang'an City and the Xiao family of Jiangnan are the wealthiest in the world.
Fang Jun was a nouveau riche, while the Qizhou Fang clan was just an unparalleled noble family in Shandong. After the birth of Fang Xuanling, the family immediately became famous, and the appearance of Fang Jun immediately made the family famous. In fact, the Lanling Xiao family was not only a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty, but also a prominent official for many generations. The wealth accumulated over hundreds of years was by no means comparable to that of Fang Jun.
After capturing the core disciples of the Xiao family, how could the ransom be so small?
Mr. Wang couldn't help but couldn't help but rolled his eyes and thought in a low voice, asking in a low voice: "Who else knows about this?"
The subordinate was puzzled, but did not dare to ask. He just said: "There are only a group of brothers that I led to pursue."
Boss Wang frowned and said, "Are they all trustworthy people?"
The subordinate understood it immediately and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, big boss, they are all the little confidants and will definitely be obedient!"
Boss Wang said with satisfaction: "Very good! Immediately lock up this Xiao family member secretly. Make sure not to let others know about it, let alone let him get hurt. This is a lot of money!"
According to the prestige and reputation of the Xiao family, if a member of the clan is captured alive by pirates, there is no question of whether to redeem him or not. That must be redeemed, otherwise will the Lanling Xiao family still retain the reputation accumulated over hundreds of years? If the tribesmen knew that the family was unwilling to redeem the tribesmen because the ransom was too heavy, wouldn't they be heartbroken?
Compared with people's hearts and reputation, what is money and silk?
So even if Boss Wang opens his mouth and raises the ransom ten to eight times according to the previous rules, Xiao will definitely hold his nose and admit it!
As long as this person is kept safe and protected from others, the ransom will naturally be his own...
Although the goods looted this time were worth a sky-high price, after all, there were too many people eating meat, and there weren’t many people in the family who could share it. There is no way to stop luck. Maybe in the end, the money you get will not be as much as the ransom of this Xiao family member...
The subordinate understood what he was doing, so he immediately retreated and took his people to secretly transfer a few "meat tickets" fished out of the sea to a cave far away from the bay.
In the big room, Boss Wang was in a happy mood, and his brain began to work, thinking about how to gain the support of pirates from all walks of life, take the position of real "big leader", inherit the legacy of the "three major gangs", and unite pirates from all walks of life to become a deterrent to the sea. With its huge strength, we will make the piracy business bigger and stronger, and carry forward the past and open up the future...
"Boom!"
A dull sound came faintly.
Boss Wang thought it was his illusion at first, but then the sound of "dong dong dong" sounded continuously like a drum, making his expression change drastically.
This sounds like the angry voice of the God of Thunder...
Before he could recover, he heard a "boom" in his ears, followed by a sudden tremor. The wall on the left side of the door seemed to have been hit by a huge hammer. In an instant, it was torn apart and dust was flying. The dark thing broke through the wall from the outside, and after hitting the ground, it continued unabated. It plowed a deep groove into the green bricks on the ground, and the green bricks splashed, and then it burrowed into the back gable wall and came out through the wall.
The whole house was filled with dust, and Boss Wang just stood there in a daze, watching the dark projectiles wreak havoc in front of him, destroying everything with overwhelming force.
This is... the artillery of the Tang Navy!
In the heavens and on the earth, among all the gods and Buddhas, only the artillery of the Tang Dynasty can have such violent power that destroys the heaven and the earth!
Boss Wang ran out as if he was struck by lightning. When he reached the door, he accidentally tripped over a collapsed door frame and was thrown hard, causing him to chew on the mud and fly out the door.
He fell heavily in front of the door. Before he could even feel the pain, Boss Wang was frightened by the sight in front of him...
It was originally a deep night, but now it seemed like day. The island was full of firelights rising into the sky. Fireballs rose from the sea in the bay in front, streaked across the dark night sky, and then landed on the shore where pirates lived. between the houses.
"Boom!"
It was like the God of Fire coming from nine heavens away to bring wrath to the world. The fireball burst out with dazzling flames immediately after it hit the ground, and the tongues of flames reaching into the sky devoured everything...(End of Chapter)
