Chapter 1016
Old Lady Nie and the others sighed when they heard the Lord of Shidao sigh with emotion, and they didn't know what he wanted to say. These people are scheming people, and none of them have spoken.
The Lord of Shidao continued: "In fact, over the years, we have wanted to discuss with the Ming Imperial Court many times about the opening of the sea ban. It's just that those officials only receive benefits, but they don't speak for us in the court. In desperation, we had no choice but to confront the officers and soldiers, otherwise we would have been fucking trapped on the island. Seeing that the Tartars are declining day by day, the court will one day come to us with all its might. I see this situation better than anyone else. If you want to have a way to live, you can no longer be trapped on the southeast coast as before. We must be invincible and let the Ming court understand that just thinking about exterminating us will not work at all. ”
When the Lord of Shidao said this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "Your Fengmen Village is located in the Central Plains, and the situation is dangerous, if our two families can join hands, who in the world can be the enemy? After the four of you have destroyed the feud, you are naturally not willing to continue to stay in a remote place like Fengmen Village, but to go out of the mountains, be an official, and make a fortune. And we can send a team of people to enter Fengmen Village and echo Jinshan Island. If the imperial army invades the islands off the southeast coast, this strange army we have deployed in the Central Plains can threaten the capital, making it impossible for the imperial court to march into the southeast with all its might. At that time, we will contact the heroes everywhere and force the court not to dare to use force against us again. ”
The stone island master's voice fell, and the old lady Nie squinted his eyes and said, "The stone island master's wishful thinking is really clever. It's just that we are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can we be willing to turn our backs on our ancestors and help you slaughter the Han people?"
The stone island lord smiled slightly and said, "Old Mr. Nie, you are wrong in what you said. We're not trying to slaughter the Han Chinese, we're just trying to find a way to survive. I have talked to several gentlemen of your Nie family and Lu family, and they are not people who have lived under people for a long time. It's just that he was afraid of the Xu family's revenge, so he hibernated in Fengmen Village all these years. It is a pity that you have the talents to save the country and save the world, and you are succumbing to the mountains and wilderness. Now that the Xu family has been wiped out, it is the time for the children of the four of you to raise their eyebrows and show their talents. To tell the truth, over the years, our Jinshan Island has bought a lot of officials in the capital and other places. If the four of you want to become officials, or buy land and land, and become a wealthy man, with the help of our Jinshan Island, you will save a lot of effort......"
Before the Shidao Lord's voice fell, Huang Chongyi slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and pointed at the Shidao Lord: "You thief is a thief, you want us to work hard for you and help you take the Ming Dynasty." Do you really think that we are all three-year-old children, and we are allowed to play with the palm of our hands? We are willing to do anything, that is, we will never be traitors!"
After Huang Chong finished speaking, he turned his head to the Nie, Lu, and Zhao families and said, "What else can we say about this thief? Let's capture this thief's head, and then behead all the thieves inside and outside the temple, it is worthy of the ancestors!"
After Huang Chong finished speaking, Old Lady Nie and the others did not speak. The lord of Shidao smiled and said, "This adult is worthy of being the parent official of Xiuwu County, and he is bent on serving the imperial court. It's just that you are an official in a beautiful manner, but what benefits have Mr. Nie's family gained? Over the years, it has been Mr. Nie's clansmen who have spent all their efforts to deal with the Xu family, but you family is sitting back and enjoying the success, don't you blush?"
Huang Chong heard that the Lord of Shidao intended to provoke, and was about to speak, but the Lord of Shidao said to Old Lady Nie: "Old Mr. Nie, I sincerely want to form an alliance with you. For the Nie family, this matter is only good, but there is no harm. Even if the big thing doesn't work, the children of the Nie family will be officials and get rich, and they will not have any hidden worries. In order to show sincerity, I don't want any of the silver you promised to give to Jinshan Island, and I will give you another 500,000 taels of silver from the Nie family. As long as Mr. Nie nods, the silver will be placed in front of you at any time. ”
As soon as the stone island lord said this, everyone was shocked. I never thought that the lord of Shidao would be willing to spend such a bloody amount of money, and he would take out 500,000 taels of silver and give it away. The Nie family has 500,000 taels of silver, but it is not difficult to become the richest man in the world.
Old lady Nie squinted her eyes, looked at the stone island lord and said, "It seems that the stone island master has decided to eat our Nie family?!"
The Lord of Shidao smiled slightly and said, "This is not to settle the Nie family, but that Jinshan Island wants to form an alliance with the Nie family and plan for great things." ”
Old lady Nie said in a deep voice: "The lord of Shidao said that he would give us 500,000 taels of silver, I don't know where this silver came from?
Old Lady Nie's voice fell, and there was silence in the hall, as if even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.
After a while, I only heard the stone island master smile and said, "I originally thought that Mr. Nie was a person who was free and unrestrained, but I didn't expect to fall into the poison of Confucius and Mencius's pedantic theories. ”
Old lady Nie said: "Lord Shidao, you Fusang people believe that people do not do anything, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, which is certainly true. It's just that there is another saying in Middle Earth, which is called drying up and fishing, and there are no descendants left. You leave no room for things and kill everyone to the extreme, and only you Fusang people are left in the world, what good is it?"
Shi Dao said: "That's not necessarily. Mr. Nie asked me where the silver came from, and I might as well tell you that the silver was not taken from the people, but from the Wujiazhuang of Funiu Mountain in Nanyang!"
The stone island lord's voice fell, and Lu Laoqi stood up when he landed, pointed at the stone island lord and said in a trembling voice: "You, what did you say?!"
The Shidao Lord sneered and said, "Are you deaf?" I said that the silver was moved from the Wujiazhuang of Funiu Mountain in Nanyang. ”
Lu Laoqi's body trembled, his face turned pale, he turned his head to look at Han Qusi who was standing behind him, and said, "Third brother, what do you say?!"
Han Qusi's face also changed greatly, he glanced at the master of Shidao, and then said to Lu Laoqi: "This thief is bluffing, let's not believe him......"
Before he could finish speaking, the stone island lord sneered: "Bluff? Okay, then I'll show you something!"
After the stone island lord finished speaking, he clapped his hands and said loudly outside the main hall: "Bring the things in and show them to these gentlemen!"
I saw one of the dozen or so stone island lords' entourage standing outside the temple gate. Dressed in a bronze robe and a felt hat, with a sickly countenance, he looked like a merchant on foot. I saw him untie a cloth bag from his waist and strode towards the temple gate. Several disciples of the Nie family who were guarding the door of the hall stretched out their hands to stop them, but the man didn't look at them, and rushed straight forward. Several Nie family disciples were about to draw their swords, and Ji Dingzhong shouted: "Don't stop him, let him in." ”
Several Nie family disciples took a few steps back, and the man strode into the hall, until he walked in front of the stone island lord and bowed. Shidao said: "Take out the things and show them to Old Mr. Nie, lest these gentlemen think I'm talking nonsense." ”
The man agreed, untied the sack, and pulled something out of it. Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that what he brought out was a human head.
Rao is old lady Nie has always been calm, but when she saw this human head, "Huo" stood up from the chair suddenly, stared at the boss with a pair of eyes, stared at the human head, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you killed Lu Lao Er?!"
The lord of Shidao smiled, his voice was like a night owl, and he said: "I don't need to kill such a bad old man. ”
When he said this, he turned his head to the man carrying the head and said, "Tell Old Lady Nie how this bad old man died!"
The man said: "After we surrounded Wujiazhuang, this old man hid in the tunnel and wanted to escape. We were guarding at the exit of the village, and as soon as he showed his head, I cut off his head with a knife......"
Before the man's words fell, he only heard Lu Laoqi roar angrily, pulled out his long sword in his right hand, and rushed straight towards him.
The two were not more than a foot apart, and everyone only felt that the figure in front of them was flickering, and Lu Laoqi had already arrived in front of the man, and the long sword in his right hand stabbed the man in the chest.
I only heard a sharp sound of "ding", and the cold light flashed in the hall. Lu Laoqi screamed, staggered back a few steps, and with a "dang" sound, the long sword in his hand had fallen to the ground. I saw him cover his throat with both hands, but blood couldn't stop oozing out from between his fingers. Lu Laoqi trembled all over, his throat rattled, and he wanted to speak but couldn't. A pair of eyes bulged out of their sockets, staring directly at the man carrying the head. Only then did the crowd realize that the man had an extra long knife in his right hand.
