Chapter 22 Qishan Pirates

Li Cheng cursed from the side: "Idiot, hold her."

Li Fushengwu quickly took another step forward and grabbed Xiuniang tightly.

"Xiang Niang," Li Cheng took two steps forward, with a grim expression and said, "You can't help but do this. I, Li Cheng, are not unpredictable. Your man has written a contract and sold you to us."

"I am a wife, not a concubine." Xiuniang said anxiously: "Why should he sell me?"

"The divorce letter and the contract letter, your father also pressed his handprints. Is it enough?" Li Cheng waved his hand and said to Li Fu: "Hurry up and pull her into the sedan chair!"

At this point, Li Cheng has no intention of getting involved. Although he has not achieved his goal, it is also effective to release the news that he hurt Xu Zixian's face afterwards.

At this time, Xiuniang suddenly broke free from Li Fu's entanglement, and took a move to pull out a silver hairpin from her hair and put it between her neck. Xiuli's face was full of determination. When she shook her wrist, she would stab it hard.

If the silver hairpin is solid, it will definitely cut the artery, and the gods will not be able to save it. Even Xu Zixian did not expect that this little girl who has been washing clothes for her and blushed when she met her face, actually had such a strong temper.

"Stop." Xu Zixian shouted loudly, then looked at Xiuniang's eyes and said with a sincere attitude: "If you believe me, just be patient for a few days. I will definitely find a way to solve this problem."

Xiuniang did not dare to put down the silver hairpin. She wanted to prick the neck, and everyone next to her avoided it. This feeling of being forced to be captured and controlled and regained freedom was too precious. She did not dare to let go, nor did she want to imagine the ending after being controlled again... Li Cheng and his son were famous lustful people in each village. The father and son forced to marry Hakka daughters from multiple villages as concubines in succession, and sold them again at most three months to half a year, and sold them directly to brothels in Fuzhou City.

If you have such a result, it would be better to die now. If a girl of this age encounters such a thing, she would rather die if she can choose.

Xu Zixian could feel the woman's determination. It is naturally unacceptable to marry Li Fu as her concubine in this situation. This determination to seek death should be without any falsehood.

Seeing the woman seeking death with a decisive look in front of her, a small part of the hairpin had already pierced into her neck, and blood was flowing on the snow-white pink neck, which looked shocking, making Xu Zixian feel the most unforgettable shock since her rebirth!

"Li Tiguan, if you force someone to die in the Marquis's house, even if there is a contract, you will not be able to get rid of it." Li Yi stepped forward at the right time and said with a majestic expression: "Send this girl to my family first, and let her father persuade her to persuade her. Then you can take her away, what about?"

Li Cheng had no choice but to know that if Xiu Niang forced her to die today, he would probably have to die. However, if such a thing happened in the Marquis' Mansion, Li Yi took this matter to him and reported it to the Grand Chief of the Governor's Office or the governor of Fuzhou. He would probably have trouble, and it would not be worth it to lose favors or money in this matter.

Li Cheng nodded and said to Xiuniang: "You girl is so unaware of it. Can you lack food and clothing when you go to me? Can my son treat you badly? I will pay back the debts your husband owes for him. When you go home, you will ask your father to take care of you."

Xiuniang didn't care about him, but since Li Cheng said in public that he wanted to send her home, the little girl's intention to seek death on the spot finally faded and her hands relaxed.

Xu Zi took a step forward, took off the silver hairpin, put it in his hand, looked at Xiu Niang, and said slowly: "You go home, I will send someone to go with you, don't worry."

Xu Zixian said again: "Believe me, don't seek death again."

Xiuniang nodded with tears in her eyes. She served Xu Zixian but was just doing odd jobs in the inner courtyard. Xu Zixian did not treat her any way. The prince was different from the legendary image. She was hard-working and self-disciplined, had a good temper and did not show off her airs. Her smile was gentle and friendly. Xiuniang didn't dare to think too much, but at this time, the only thing she could trust was the prince in front of her.

Li Cheng looked at the situation in front of him and his heart was already filled with a deep heart.

The prince's temper has always been irritable and has no scheming. Today's performance is really surprising. It seems that his recent impression is accurate. After the prince's injury, his temper and personality have changed greatly. He studied hard and practiced arrows. His personality has changed after tempering. He is no longer the same as the former Wuxia Ameng.

But Li Cheng had no way to retreat. Li Cheng knew that he had done a bit too much today. The situation in Guanzhuang was complicated. Li Cheng had been in charge of the Hou Mansion for twenty years. If the prince was appointed as the prince and rectified the Guanzhuang, Li Cheng would not only have no place to stand, but he would probably be imprisoned and even his life would be lost.

"The prince is joking," Li Cheng lowered his head and said respectfully: "I disturbed the prince after family affairs. This is a must-have for the crime..."

"No need." Xu Zixian said: "You can't take anyone away. I want to send someone to send Xiu Niang to my parents' home. Next, you, your father and son, are waiting for news at home. I will promote the position of supervisor here, so you don't have to worry about it. You are unlucky and crazy. I will use you here."

Xu Zi first beat him one by one, and then sent Jin Baoyi, Wu Weisan and others to escort Xiuniang out of the mansion. For Li Cheng, Xiuniang was the first to come out to win. He had a letter of contract in his hand. Thinking about it, it would be a good thing for the prince to drive him out. It would be a big news to sue the master. As long as it makes a big difference, the prince's face will be greatly lost.

"I am so guilty that I am really guilty. I can't continue to raise my responsibilities." Li Cheng bowed to apologize, but his face was full of sneer. When he looked up again, Xu Zixian had already turned around and entered the second door.

All the spectators felt something was wrong. Li Cheng happily asked his son to come and invite someone. It turned out that this was a mess?

Many people felt that Li Cheng had taken advantage of and their faces became ugly.

Seeing this, Li Cheng stood up straight, with a sneer on his face, and then he looked like an indifferent scoundrel.

He has been in the Marquis' Mansion for 30 years, and even Xu Yingbin can't do anything to him. He is still afraid of a young boy who is less than twenty years old. It's a bit strange, why did Li Yi and Qin Dongyang and others follow the prince to make trouble? Li Cheng was a little afraid of Qin Dongyang. His news was very well-informed. He knew that Qin Dongyang was a famous martial arts master on Fujian Road. Today, Li Cheng did not dare to break up, of course, because Qin Dongyang stood beside the prince with a barrier knife...

A group of merchants from the A-shaped village were eager to try it out. As long as Li Cheng said, they would go up to grab people. These people were brave. Over the years, many people have done evil things and have really cut off their ten heads according to the law.

Li Cheng waved his hand gently, let's forget about this today, it's probably impossible to fight with force. Since the prince has a formal face, it's better to start from this perspective.

"Is it worth it for a little lady?" After most of the crowds dispersed, the owner of a town's business owner was a little puzzled and whispered to his companions: "The prince and Li Tiguan actually broke up about this? You must know that Li Tiguan has been in the Nan'an Marquis Mansion for thirty years."

"Haha." The companion made a meaningful laugh and said after a while: "Think more about yourself, what's wrong with your words?"

“Where’s not right?”

"Thirty years have passed!" said the companion: "A man can control Guanzhuang for 30 years, and two generations of marquis cannot be replaced. If the prince is a playboy, of course, Li Cheng will continue to do it. As long as the prince wants to cheer up and drive Li Cheng away, the more than 1,000 Guanzhuang is the greatest wealth granted by the court. In addition, the hidden households are at least 1,000, so how much is the year? How could the prince allow Li Cheng to continue to do it?"

"What about Li Cheng?"

"Li Cheng also wants to use an excuse to fight with the prince. If he doesn't fight, he won't let people see his power and his hearts change easily. If he wins, the prince will not let him take charge. Each village still has to look at Li Cheng's expression. The prince can't touch these monks. What's Xiu Niang? Such a big benefit this year is the most important key."

"I see."

"Hey, this excitement is not so easy to watch. Look, Li Cheng can eat so much money? Have you just watched the people around him, all of whom are standing straight and full of resentment. Where can he get such a subordinate in the Marquis's Mansion Management Village?"

"Ah, do you mean there is someone behind Li Cheng?"

"Hehe, I didn't say it, you said it yourself."

When the spectators chatted, no one dared to say those three words.

"Qishan thief" is a very scary and scary word. Qishan is a big mountain on the island at the mouth of the Minjiang River. The island is very large, with a radius of more than a hundred miles. There are Qizhou City and several towns on it, with more than 10,000 households, and three villages on it, the grass is close to the river, the middle and middle schools are close to the mountains, and the grass is just above the mountain.

On an island with less than 100,000 people, the Grand Governor's Office requested the establishment of a prefecture, a governor, a defensive envoy, a regiment training envoy, and a three village with three commanders, more than 7,000 officers and soldiers, and the defense of the Qishan thieves with less than 3,000 people were defended.

Qishan occupies half of Qizhou Island. It faces the sea and is located in a deep-sea harbor. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Except for one main road entering the mountain, there are cliffs everywhere, and there are only a small number of small paths.

The Qishan thieves were both mountain thieves, harassing the people of Qizhou and pirates. The five thieves who followed the outer seas to attack Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. Ten years ago, the city of Zhangzhou was destroyed, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians were either killed or displaced. The entire Zhangzhou Prefecture City became a sea of ​​blood. On Fujian Road, the five thieves and Qishan thieves were really a way to stop children from crying at night.

The court also attached great importance to the extermination of Qishan thieves. It once sent large troops to fight and suppress them, but the terrain of Qishan was very complex. On the one hand, there were large beaches on the sea, which was easy to attack. However, since the rise of the five major thieves, the imperial naval divisions have been defeated repeatedly. A small amount of residual naval divisions were placed on Qizhou Island and Quanzhou. The naval divisions in the north were smaller in size, placed in Dengzhou and the capital to prevent the Japanese and five major thieves from raiding from the sea.

The five great thieves also had their own supporters, and the court could do nothing.

The sea surface cannot be used, and it is very difficult to attack by land, and the army cannot operate at all.

Later, the strategy of elite troops was adopted to erode the enemy, with Xu Yingbin, the Marquis of Nan'an as the defensive envoy of Qizhou and the deputy commander of the three camps. In the early days, Xu Yingbin fought pretty well, but later he became more and more tired. In the last critical battle against the mountain, the officers and soldiers failed and suffered heavy losses. Xu Yingbin lost the position of defensive envoy and was ordered to return to Fuzhou to wait for punishment. He passed away soon after.

After this battle, the court lost its energy and thought about eliminating the pirates of Qishan. Qizhou was still tight in defense. Qishan thieves turned to the rest of the military states and sent hundreds or thousands of people to loot the people of various military states from time to time. Once a place was captured by Qishan thieves, the casualties would be extremely heavy. The coastal military states were strictly guarded, but such a long coastline could not stop the attack of pirates. Over the years, Qishan thieves have become increasingly famous, and the court has no choice. Some court officials even submitted a report to Emperor Chongde and simply recruited Qishan thieves and granted official positions, food and wages. The court suffered some losses in money, which would be better than the people being robbed and killed every year.

This discussion has not yet been completed, but the news is released, which means that the court is still moved.

There is a thief hidden behind Li Cheng, and the relationship between this is great. No wonder he was rampant in the village as a micro-minded person, swallowing so many benefits. Without the powerful behind the scenes, he had been killed long ago.

------------

Some people say that the character Li Cheng is impossible, it’s a slave, just ordering to kill him.
