Zhao'er didn't know whether it was her own intimidation that played a role, or the group of people wanted to exchange her for money. After that, not only was she replaced by a cabin, but she was also injured.
But that's all, she didn't know how long it had passed, she only knew that after moving out of the dark cabin, it got dark twice and the ship was still moving forward.
You can obviously feel the change in temperature along the way. Jiangsu and Zhejiang will gradually cool down in autumn, but it gives people a feeling of entering the summer.
Zhao'er hasn't seen any outsiders in the past two days, and every day a man in black with a ferocious face brings her meals. She had looked around, but this room had a window but it was nailed down, and there were two people outside the door watching her sleeplessly.
She can't escape.
In fact, she has nowhere to escape, the sea is vast, and if she leaves this ship, she will only end up dead.
She could only hold down and wait quietly, waiting for these people to announce their purpose.
In fact, no one came. A man came to see her twice. The first time I just looked at her and said nothing, the second time was this time.
"We'll be there soon, this is for you, it's time to blindfold your eyes." Mo Jia threw a piece of black cloth over, Zhao'er didn't pick it up, and let the black cloth fall to the ground.
"Who are you? Why did you attack us and arrest me?"
This question has been asked many times, but no one has answered her, this person has not answered, let alone the two people outside the door.
They are all deaf and dumb!
Different from before, this time the other party glanced at her and took up the conversation.
"Are you curious?"
"Who are you?"
"We are pirates."
"I know you are pirates. Just tell me what you want, and I will give it to you if you can give it to me." Zhao'er felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety whenever she thought of Xue Tingxiang's news of her disappearance. Appears to be particularly restless.
Mo Jia smiled lightly: "We don't want anything."
Zhao'er glared at him in disbelief. Mo Jia's eyes gradually became surprised, and there was a strange wave light, which made Zhao'er have a creepy feeling.
Only then did she realize that this man's eyes were dark blue, and he was not from Dachang.
"If you don't say it, then forget it. You can go out and close the door."
That night, Zhao'er was still injured, the most serious is the head and neck. I don't know how she was lucky enough not to die. After being hit so hard, her head was swollen and her neck was a little sprained. There are also some scrapes and bruises on the body when fighting with those two men.
Until now, Zhao'er didn't dare to think back to that night. It might be because her head was always dizzy and painful, which made her mind a little unclear at that time.
Zhao'er knew that she had killed someone, but she felt a sense of isolation and dullness, so she didn't feel anything. Even if there was, she was suppressed by her, because those two people were beasts.
"If I said that we were sent by your husband to kill you, and what we wanted was your life, would you believe it?" said Mogga, looking at her with a relaxed look.
"impossible!"
"Why is it not possible? Your husband is young and in an important position. He seems to be extremely beautiful, but he is in danger and bewildered on all sides. He has neither background nor backing. Your original spouse is an eyesore. After all, if I remember correctly, your husband was reprimanded out of Beijing at the beginning, and the reason why he can sit in this position now is entirely by chance."
Zhao'er looked over, her pupils clenched: "Who the hell are you?"
"I said I was a pirate."
"You are a pirate, how can you know so much?"
Mo Jia laughed: "I'm going to ask you, why do you think I know so much? Not only do I know this, but I also know that the daughter of a high-ranking official has always been secretly fond of your husband, and I also know that her surname is Wu!"
Zhao'er was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.
Last name is Wu, Wu Wanqiong
She was a little stunned. Looking at Mo Jia's face, it was a face that no woman could resist, but she was full of disgust.
Not only disgust, but also a sense of irritability, wishing to smash him.
Why does the other party know all this
Naturally, he didn't do what he thought, which was the reason he said. Only people who knew the inside story would know such things.
Does the dog really want her life
No no no, how is that possible!
Zhao'er couldn't help but start to think back to the previous events, from the two getting married, to having Hong'er, to becoming a scholar, to the time when he hit the Dengwen drum, to leaving the capital with his family...
The two had gone through so much. Before he left, he was obviously stingy and pretended to be generous, and it was still vivid in her eyes. She also spent a lot of time coaxing him, coaxing him into a smile, and then got on the carriage.
But in less than half a month, how could she want her life.
Zhao'er pursed her lips and looked at the other party: "I don't know who you are, what purpose you have, and where do you know these things, but if you want to sow discord, then your idea is wrong."
Mo Jia did not expect Zhao'er to say this, and was a little stunned.
In his thinking, the couple are independent, and the relationship is not bad, but it is limited. Besides, this woman came from a humble background and was in business, but Xue Tingxiang had a bright future. Shouldn't she be ashamed
Immediately, he spurned his own thoughts, and his eyes fell on Zhao'er, who was pale, with white cloth tied around his head and dressed in tattered clothes.
This woman is used to traveling all over the world. She killed two people before, but she regarded it as normal. How could she be an ordinary woman, and naturally she would not feel ashamed.
Obviously she doesn't look beautiful, but when she sees the confident expression on her face, she feels so annoying.
Mo Jia smiled faintly, and his eyes rolled on her again: "If you don't believe it, forget it."
After saying that, he turned around and left the cabin.
This person speaks strangely, looks strange, and has a strange attitude. All in all, in Zhao'er's eyes, he is strange. What is he trying to do? She thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out.
After thinking about it, she didn't think about it, and she picked up the black cloth on the ground.
Are you going somewhere
What will be a place waiting for her
Qiongzhou Island, also known as Hainan Island, also means the south of the sea and the south of Dachang. It is the place where Dachang is closest to the South China Sea.
Because of being alone in the South China Sea and far away from the mainland of Dachang, it seems a bit isolated.
The court was beyond the reach of the imperial court, and as a result, this place has always been a barren land for the distribution of sinners. There are many pirates and pirates at sea, and the court has banned the sea several times, which has caused the current situation in this place to be chaotic, and the status of the government is at risk, and it is not seen by the local people.
Located in the southwest of Qiongzhou Island, there is an island.
Few people know this island, it is the helm of the Red Gang.
At this time, in the Juyi Hall in the cottage on the island, all the leaders of the Red Gang arrived.
This Juyi Hall is a place for the Red Gang to discuss affairs, and no ordinary people are allowed to enter. The Red Gang’s inner eight halls are outside the Twelve Rivers Estuary. People from the Twelve Rivers Estuary are not qualified to enter at all, so they can only stand outside the hall.
At this time, there were people standing outside the Juyi Hall. These people were both men and women. They were all dressed in messy clothes, and they all looked at the situation inside the hall.
In the hall, in the first place is a large sandalwood chair covered with tiger skins. It stands to reason that this chair should be seated by a man, but a woman is sitting on it.
Still a very beautiful woman.
She was wearing a red dress and was tall and slender. She didn't look very old, that is, she looked like she was in her thirties. Oval face, slender eyebrows, flying into the temples, a pair of phoenix eyes are charming, but they are awe-inspiring, and the cold light shines in the circulation, making people dare not look directly.
At this moment, she leaned back in the chair slightly lazily, her slender jade hands resting on the faucet of the armrest of the large chair, seemingly careless, but those who knew her temperament knew that she was angry.
This person is the leader of the Red Gang, Hong Gu.
And at the bottom of her head, there were chairs on the left and right, with Ding Si, the deputy leader, and Shi Zi, the head of the punishment hall. Further down, left and right, four large chairs were placed, and the eight hall masters of Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, Yu, Zhou, Hong, and Huang were seated respectively.
"Master Lu, you need to explain this to me and the other halls." Aunt Hong's voice was hoarse, with a kind of confusing magnetism, and it sounded in the empty hall.
As this voice sounded, Shi Zi, the head of the punishment hall, also spoke.
He was about forty years old, with a beard and a burly stature. Even if he lost one of his eyes, he wore a black eye patch, which could not hide the scars below, so people couldn't help but guess what kind of injuries he suffered back then, and what kind of marks were left behind.
"Dalongtou has long since issued an order not to provoke people from the government, but now you, Dizitang, have acted without authorization and have kidnapped the wife of the Admiral of the Zhejiang Navy. Then Xue Tingxiang has issued a bounty order, and anyone who finds his wife's whereabouts will be rewarded with 10,000 silver. , the person who can rescue him will be rewarded with 100,000 silver, and it is obvious that he has no plans to appease this matter, Hall Master Lu, tell me what you plan to do about this matter?"
This Hall Master Lu is talking about Lu Qi, the Hall Master of the Dizi Hall, who is sitting in the first place on the left.
This man is big and three thick, and his face is full of flesh, but he is a monk. He was dressed nondescriptly in a brown monk's uniform, but his arms were wide open, revealing the black chest hair under it.
His temper also seems to be quite irritable. After being run on like this, he was already angry and retorted: "What else is there to say, my Red Gang is still afraid that the court will fail?"
"My Red Gang is here, so I'm not afraid of the imperial court. But now, at this juncture, I'm not suitable for extracurricular branches. Haojing's Folang machine secretly hates me. If they get involved, they will join forces with the government to treat me. Encirclement and suppression, lest it hurt the vitality of the gang." Song Qi, the head of the Huangzi Hall, who spoke.
This man was in his thirties, and in terms of his clothes, he didn't look like a pirate, but a scribe. This person has always been known as a think tank in the Red Gang, and his analysis is unreasonable.
After listening to his words, several hall masters sitting beside all nodded.
At this time, the Hall Master of Huangzi Hall spoke to the Taoist priest.
He wears a Taoist robe and a pure yang towel on his head, and he is immortal. Looking at his face, he looked like he was in his forties, with a kind face and the appearance of a good old man.
"Don't blame Hall Master Lu for this matter. Since Dinghai opened Fu, it has damaged a lot of our business. We have formed a navy again. Our Red Gang has always dominated the southeast and the two seas. There are tens of thousands of people, and they do not produce food. All food is purchased from Goryeo.
"Now the Zhejiang navy is stuck there, we can only go to Annan and Mancijia to buy grain. In the civil strife in Annan, Mancijia was occupied by the Flang machine. Because of this purchase of grain, it is for the gang members in the gang. No matter how much trouble you have caused, Hall Master Lu is also for the sake of helping others, and the big leader should not be blamed."
Chunhe Taoist priest is right, this matter has been mentioned by the Red Gang for many times in Juyi Hall.
There are constantly people who propose to do it directly with the imperial court. Anyway, it is not the first time for them to do this kind of thing, but they are all suppressed by the big dragon.
Although the Red Gang is numerous and powerful, it has long since changed from what it used to be. The Red Gang said that they were helping tens of thousands of people, but in fact, they also counted their family members, and only 20,000 people could be used.
These 20,000 people seem to be quite a lot, but the Red Gang must guard against those Buddha Lang machines and Hong Maofan outside, and guard against the imperial court's encirclement and suppression. Especially since the death of the former leader, Honggu, who is the widow, took over the position of the leader, and the Red Gang was also in turmoil.
There are not many scholars who can be pirates, and the big reason is unreasonable.
Hearing Chunhe Daoist say this, many people outside the hall immediately echoed.
"That is, we are afraid of the imperial court's dry bird, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they will come to catch us if they have the ability."
"Just relying on the group of people from the imperial court navy, it's a free gift when they come."
This made everyone outside burst into laughter. Seeing this, Lu Qi in the hall flashed a smug look in his eyes, but he acted like he was wronged: "I sent someone to Zhejiang for the sake of the gang, but according to Dalongtou, I was wrong. "
Dalongtou pursed his lips in anger, and saw this deputy leader Ding Si interjected: "Dalongtou naturally doesn't mean this, but it's an extraordinary period now, and it's not easy to have extra branches."
"The man has already been tied back, or if the big dragon will give me to the Admiral of the Navy, and exchange 100,000 taels of silver, I can also give the brothers in the gang a tooth sacrifice?" Lu Qi smiled again.
He is obviously shameless, if Da Longtou really did something to send him to the government, I am afraid that the people below will immediately turn against him.
In this case, it is naturally impossible to discuss.
The big dragon head looked coldly around the bottom, and then landed on Lu Qi: "This matter will be discussed later."
After she finished speaking, she left, and Ding Si left with him. Shi Zi, the head of the punishment hall, stood up, smiling but not smiling: "It's all gone."
The people inside and outside the hall immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Lu Qi was crowded out of the Juyi Hall, turned his head to look at the plaque hanging high above the Juyi Hall, and a wicked light flashed in his eyes.
On the other hand, Mo Jia, from the beginning to the end, no one mentioned that he also went to Zhejiang. It seems that everyone has collectively forgotten.
Before Ding Si entered the door, he heard a crackling sound inside.
He stood in front of the door for a while before knocking on the door.
It was the door opened by Lancao, the maidservant of the big dragon.
He walked in and the house had been cleaned up. On the couch of the imperial concubine in the second room, the big dragon head was leaning there, with a hint of anger on her charming face.
Ding Si is the adopted son of the former leader Hong Qi, and in terms of name, he is also the adopted son of Hong Gu. But he and Aunt Hong were only twelve years apart. When Hong Qi was dying, he knew that his only son, Hong Chengying, was a douchebag who could not support him, and that the family business of the Red Gang, and the livelihood of tens of thousands of gang members, were all on the shoulders of the gang. on the faucet.
He didn't trust others, so he passed the position of the big leader to his wife Honggu, and let Ding Si take the position of the deputy leader to assist Honggu to carry the heavy burden of the Red Gang.
And Hong Gu seems to be a female class, but she is very intelligent. As early as when Hong Qi was still there, she has been helping him with the help, and she can't make plans for men. .
But after all, she is a woman. The Red Gang has eight halls and twelve rivers. The people are mixed, and no one will obey anyone. Naturally, it is impossible to obey a woman.
Although it is superficially intimidated by the name of the big dragon head, in fact, people's hearts are floating. The hall masters of the following halls all covet the position of the dragon head, but no one dares to say it face to face.
It was as if Lu Qi had committed a ban, but there was nothing he could do about him. In fact, this also shows that the majesty of the big leader is gradually losing, and Aunt Hong knows that she is so angry today.
Ding Si waved Lancao to retreat, then came to the chair in front of the imperial concubine's couch and sat down.
"Don't be angry, Dalongtou, that Lu Qi is just showing his tongue."
