It's just that Zhang Shi's thoughts turned extremely fast. Seeing the figure of the sergeant disappear into the cabin, he reached out and took out a silver ticket from his arms in a hurry, handed it to Qu Baiyan, and whispered: "General, be a little careful, and hope that the general will smile." ”

In fact, when the warship appeared, Zhang Shi made up his mind to bribe the officers and soldiers with silver. It's just that Qu Baiyan rushed to the ship with more than a dozen sergeants, and although he had already prepared the silver ticket, he didn't dare to openly bribe in front of everyone. It's just that the situation is critical at this time, and he can't afford to hesitate at all. It was he who took out the silver ticket regardless of it and handed it to Qu Baiyan.

Qu Bai's eyes opened his teeth and claws, and finally saw the silver ticket, and the fierce bully's expression was immediately relieved a lot. As soon as the silver ticket in Zhang Shi's hand was handed to him, he grabbed it. I saw Qu Baiyan get the silver ticket in his left hand, and immediately threw the steel knife on the ground with his right hand, holding the silver ticket in both hands and looking at it carefully in front of him. Although he was illiterate, he still recognized the silver ticket. This is his favorite thing in the world, and when he holds it in his hand, his whole body will flutter.

Shopkeeper Hu and others were a little surprised when they saw him openly accepting bribes. I saw Qu Baiyan holding the silver ticket and flipping it over and looking at it for a long time, and then he called a sergeant next to him, and said: "Show this officer, how many taels of silver can this silver ticket be exchanged?"

The sergeant leaned in front of Qu Baiyan, took a closer look at the silver ticket, was shocked in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, this, this is a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver......

Qu Baiyan didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately stuffed the silver ticket into his arms, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it. The sergeants were also taken aback, surprised and annoyed in their hearts. I was shocked that Zhang Shi was five hundred taels of silver as soon as he made a move, which is rare in the world. The angry thing is that Qu Baiyan is the most greedy, and following this person on errands, he not only eats the meat cleanly, but also drinks the soup together, and he definitely doesn't get half of the benefits. It was because of the disgruntling of more than a dozen sergeants, and they were all looking forward to being unlucky.

Qu Baiyan put the silver ticket away, and the whole person was radiant. He glanced at Zhang Shi triumphantly, and said, "Count you as a kid." If the money was taken out earlier, the official would not have had to make so much effort. ”

When Shopkeeper Hu and the others saw Qu Baiyan so greedy, everyone was angry and funny. These people often deal with officials on weekdays, so they naturally know that no official is not greedy. It's just that such a blatant bribery official has seen it for the first time.

Li Qiufeng was even more embarrassed. He originally thought that Qu Baiyan was just confused, but he could be regarded as a person who was loyal to his duties, so he still had a good impression of this person. But I didn't expect this person to be so pretentious, just to ask for a bribe.

Zhang Shi said with a smile: "The general has worked so hard with the military masters, the villain should have been filial." When he said this, he paused slightly, and then said: "You see that we are all small businesses, if we delay the time, we can't deliver the goods to Shandong on time, and we have to lose money." Can the general be considerate of the villain and let us go on the road as soon as possible?"

Qu Baiyan got the silver in his hand, and he didn't want to delay for a long time, and when he heard Zhang Shi say this, he immediately waved his hand, and said: "Since you are all good people, it is not difficult for this official to be for you." Brothers, let's go. ”

When Shopkeeper Hu and others saw this, they breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them one after another. The sergeants retreated to Qu Baiyan's side, and only Hu San, who rushed into the cabin, did not retreat. Qu Baiyan said to a sergeant: "His grandmother's, Hu San, this kid really took chicken feathers as an arrow! ”

The sergeant agreed, and was about to walk towards the cabin, when he heard an exclamation from someone in the cabin, followed by a trembling voice: "What are you going to do......

As soon as this man said this, he suddenly stopped speaking, as if someone had suddenly pinched his throat while he was speaking. Everyone on the deck heard that it was Hu San's voice, but they didn't know what happened to him, and they suddenly fell silent.

Although Qu Baiyan was greedy, he was extremely cunning, and when he heard Hu San only say half of what he said, the cabin fell silent, knowing that something must have happened in the cabin. He hurriedly took two steps back, hiding behind the sergeants, and then poked his head out to look in the direction of the cabin.

At this moment, only to hear a "whew", a black shadow flew out of the cabin, and fell on the deck in front of everyone with a "bang". I only heard this person cry out in pain, it was Hu San who had just rushed into the cabin.

When everyone saw this, everyone's faces changed greatly. Several shopkeepers were even more frightened, and took a few steps back. Shopkeeper Luo was the least daring, and he was originally standing behind everyone. At this time, he took a few steps back in fright, and he was already beside the side of the ship. He stumbled and fell backwards. Fortunately, Shopkeeper Ji stood beside him and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull him, so he didn't fall into the sea.

Qu Bai saw Hu San fall to the ground and was embarrassed, and he was shocked and frightened. It's just that more than a dozen sergeants stood in front of him, swords and guns in their hands. The sergeant on the warship saw Qu Baiyan retreating to the side of the ship in a panic, knowing that something had happened on the ship, he hurriedly drew his sword and spear, and shouted loudly. Several sergeants also flashed the fire folds in their hands, and they could fire their guns to attack at any time.

Qu Bai saw that there were sergeants in front of him and behind him, and his courage suddenly grew. He shouted, "Hu San, what happened?!"

Hu San struggled to get up from the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "There are ghosts in the cabin, there are ghosts ......"

Before he finished speaking, Qu Bai took a sip of "puff" and scolded: "Fuck, are you kid hysterical? Have you forgotten the fact that Lao Tzu took you to pretend to be a god in the land temple back then?

Hu San ran to the sergeants in a panic, and said to Qu Baiyan, who was hiding behind the sergeants, "Yes, it's a ghost...... I saw only a shadow, and I didn't see my face clearly, and I flew out like a cloud. If it's not a ghost, how can a person have such magical powers?"

When Li Qiufeng heard Hu San say this, he immediately knew that he had met a martial arts master in the cabin, was subdued by someone with one move, and then threw him out of the cabin. At this time, Zhang Shi and all the shopkeepers were on the deck, and Qin Lao Wu and the five boatmen who lived in the rear cabin were also outside the cabin, some pulling the sails and some holding the tail rudder. The only person who didn't show up was Xiao Dong, who claimed to be the bookkeeper under the white shopkeeper. Li Qiufeng knew that this person was carrying martial arts before, but he didn't expect his martial arts to be so high, so he threw Hu San out of the cabin with a casual throw.

When Qu Baiyan was messing around in Fuzhou City, he often pretended to be a god and scare others, because he never believed in ghosts and gods. At this time, seeing Hu San like this, he decided that someone was pretending to be a ghost. Although he had already received five hundred taels of silver, he just wanted to hurry back to Ningbo City to spend some time drinking, and he didn't want to delay. But Hu San suffered a loss, and he could take this opportunity to knock on another bamboo bar. Thinking of this, he pushed away the two sergeants who were blocking in front of him, staggered to Zhang Shi, and said, "Who are you hiding in the cabin?"

Zhang Shi also guessed that it was Xiao Dong who made a move and threw Hu San out of the cabin. It's just that this person is a person from the Firearms Bureau, and he can't afford to offend him, so he hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "There is only one bookkeeper in the cabin, and he has no power to offend this military master." ”

Qu Baiyan "snorted" and said: "There was a big case in Ningbo Mansion last year. It was said that the Japanese were killing people and setting fire to the city, and no one dared to stop them. Only then did our Fujian sailors come to Ningbo on the orders of the imperial court to strengthen the sea ban and arrest the Japanese who killed people and set fires. You are all sneaky, could it be that you have hidden the escaped widows in the cabin?"

Zhang Shi was startled, but after thinking about it, he knew that Qu Baiyan wanted to knock money from him again. He just gave Qu Baiyan five hundred taels of silver tickets, and his heart was aching. It's just that when he saw Qu Baiyan's appearance, he would definitely not give up if he didn't give money. It was he who bit his teeth and took out the silver ticket from his bosom. I secretly thought in my heart that this money must not be paid by myself! After these officers and men are gone, they must ask Shopkeeper Hu and others to compensate themselves for the silver.

It's just that Zhang Shi was about to reach out to his arms to touch the silver ticket, but he heard someone in the cabin sneer: "You people ask for bribes, aren't you afraid of Wang Fa?"

Zhang Shixin sank, and when he heard the man say the words "ask for bribes and accept bribes", the right hand that was originally going to be stretched out to his arms took it back. Qu Baiyan was furious, and shouted to all the sergeants: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go over and drag this madman out?!"
