Chapter 198 Shark Biao
"Head of the Family!" Fang Chen and the little guys spoke. Cai An hurriedly brought his son to him when he heard the news. He was obviously a little excited when he saw him.
"Old butler!" Fang Chen still respects this old man who has been working diligently after joining the Fang family.
Cai An walked closer in three or two steps and said happily: "It's great that the head of the family came back. I heard the news before that there were pirates attacking Xiaogang Town again. If the head of the family is not here, the old slave doesn't know what to do."
Xiaogang Town is under intense construction, and each family has contributed its efforts and sent experts to take charge. When the pirates appeared, each family sent people back to report, looking at the sea close, and received the news as soon as possible.
Fang Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. When he entered the town just now, the town was calm, not like the scene of the arrival of pirates. He thought no one had reported it.
"Have you sent someone to ask about it?"
Cai An nodded and said, "If you are not able to make such a big deal, you will ask Li'er to come to Mr. Li as soon as possible. But Mr. Li means that Xiaogang Town has many masters, and pirates will definitely not be able to enter, just stay in the town with peace of mind."
Fang Chen was so happy. Who stipulated that pirates must go ashore from the port? How many small boats should not land? With the current empty strength of the sea, there is no need to be very strong. If you have a team leader at the acquired realm, you can turn things around.
He immediately said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about him, immediately inform the tenants below, pack up the fine and soft things, and go to Qingcang Field Village for a while to avoid them, and come back after the pirates' work. When they went there, they would take the cattle and horses over. The place was almost well-organized and could be shepherded."
"Yes! The head of the family, how to resettle the pig farm, chicken farm, and the money and food in the family?" Cai An responded, and he knew that once the head of the family decided, he would not change easily.
"Money takes away the precious, copper coins and low-value secret rooms. Take as much as the grain can be brought. If the pirates land on a light boat, they will not be able to take away. There are only a few legs and feet left on the pig farm and the chicken farm to watch quickly. As long as someone is staring at me, no one dares to touch our Fang family's things." Fang Chen thought for a moment and said.
According to his estimate, the pirates should not go ashore during the day, and the possibility of being higher at night is that there is still some time to deal with these matters.
"Yes!" Cai An replied that although the head of the family lives in the county, the information exchange between the two places has never stopped. Therefore, he knows the head of the family's current status in the entire Fuyu, and there are really few people who dare to touch the Fang family.
Sometimes he was also impressed that the Cai family had been in Wanghai for many generations, but they were still a big country family. But the one who had just replaced the Cai family, had built a strong foundation in the county town, and even became the top presence in Fuyu. People are incomparable to people.
"Old butler." The Cai family was about to go to make arrangements, but Fang Chen suddenly called him again and said, "Li, Wang and the two families will let you know again."
After all, he is an ally and has helped him a lot. He needs to notify him of his own intentions. As for his selfishness, he does not want something to happen to the two families.
Cai An nodded and said, "Yes, head of the family, let Li'er go for another trip in this matter!"
There was a family leader who agreed, and it can be said that as long as his son does not make big mistakes in the future, he can steadily take over his position and become the new chief manager of the Fang Mansion. Because of the direct lineage of the old house in his hometown, in terms of status, he is half as good as Tong Qian in the county town.
The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, now with the status of the head of the family in Fuyu, the status of the chief general manager will naturally rise. Even if the heads of the rich family of the gentry have to give some face when they see it, they will be given some face.
The head of the family can let Li'er take over, which is a huge trust in their family, so he naturally cannot let down the head of the family.
Therefore, after he came back, he brought his son with him and taught him in detail. At the same time, he also intended to cultivate his son's interpersonal relationships, but if he had contact with wealthy families of the gentry, he would let his son go.
When doing things outside, you are always inseparable from human relationships. Only by being familiar with these wealthy families of the gentry and having the face of the head of the family can you do things smoothly.
After Cai An left, Fang Chen smiled and said, "Let's go and lead the horse, brother will take you to meet the pirates!"
The strength echelons of the bandits have always been very imperfect. The strongest ones are the leaders of the thief. The secondary magical power is often not large, and the remaining ones are a large number of minions.
Nowadays, Xiaogang Town has gathered many experts. When I received the message, I think more experts would come. The pirates did not dare to go ashore to attack directly, but just threatened with words. There must be no innate powerhouses, and safety is still fine. Instead, it is a good opportunity to gain insight.
"Wow!" The four little guys were already so excited that they cheered and rushed towards the horse farm.
……………………
"How? Have you considered it clearly? If you don't agree, the next time I will be my three brothers!" A strong man with a fleshy face on the seaside of Xiaogang Town said with a silence.
Chang Zhengwei looked at him indifferently and said, "I have already said that the head is not here, everyone will come. If you can't wait, you can go to the battlefield!"
The strong man stared at him for a moment, then swept over the people next to him and the masters behind him, and sneered: "When will the affairs of the government come, we must give a correct letter? Could it be that he keeps showing up and we will always wait? Or do you think that because of the large number of people, we will not take us seriously?"
The person next to Chang Zhengwei frowned and said, "We don't have this intention, but when will the person in charge come, we are certainly unsure."
The strong man looked very dissatisfied, "Hmph! We have no time to wait with you. If you agree or not, please give me a letter of confidence! Otherwise, when someone goes back this time, he may not be a kind-hearted advice again. You have to think clearly that there are only a thousand days to be a thief, but there are no ones to guard against thieves for thousands of days. Don't think that you are waiting for many people, but our thief is a perfect and strong man. If you make him angry, you may not be able to defend against it."
When Fuyu heard his words, everyone frowned. The other party was very clear about his meaning. You are a lot of people, but there are no perfect strong people. If their heads come to attack every few days, you may not be able to withstand it.
Just as Chang Zhengwei was about to speak, suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind him. He quickly turned around and looked at him. When he saw the person on the horse, he suddenly showed a strong look of joy.
Fang Chen rushed all the way and came to Xiaogang Town and saw the confrontation on the beach, so he rushed over directly.
"Head of the Chang family, head of the Guan family!" He came closer, turned over and dismounted, and hugged the two leaders and clasped their fists.
There have always been two acquired Dacheng in Xiaogang Town. One in the city and the next county, and it is changed every month. This month it is the head of Guan Xiuci, the gentry of Chang Zhengwei and the county gentry, Guan Xiuci.
"Head of the Fang family, you're here." The two of them did not dare to neglect and quickly replied.
"Oh? A few more people come, haha, they are all guys with no hair. Are you watching the fun?" The strong man felt at first when he saw someone coming. When he saw that he was coming, he suddenly laughed wildly. What can a few little kids do?
Fang Chen didn't even look at him, and asked the two of them: "What is the specific situation? What is the origin of this group of pirates?" Although he had speculation in his heart, it would be better to understand it clearly for the sake of safety.
The two looked at each other, and Guan Xiuci said, "According to the thief's words, the leader of the thief is 'Shar Biao'. This person has heard of it for a long time. He has acquired perfect strength and acts greedy and domineering. When he encounters a merchant ship, he will rob him all, but if he resists, he will be slaughtered. He is one of the most notorious pirates on the coast. When they arrive this time, they find that the port is being rebuilt, so they threaten to ask for 500,000 taels of silver, otherwise the port will not be built."
At sea, giant bandits control the route and generally do not slaughter merchant ships, but collect tolls. As long as you collect money, a flag will be issued. If you plant the flag, you can open the entire channel without any obstacles.
In order to maintain the business, most pirates will not kill them all. They usually take away money and some goods. Even if they are more cruel, they will just snatch them all and take away women. The merchants and crew will put them back, looking forward to coming again next time.
But there are still some extremely vicious and infamous pirates who are slaughtered in ships, and they basically have no way to survive when they encounter them. Some even like to go ashore to attack villages and towns.
Shark Biao is one of them. Shark is a vicious creature in the sea. Biao is also a vicious creature on land. He is known as Shark Biao. His temperament and style can be imagined.
He is the same type of person as the Puxin Monkey who went ashore before.
"Five hundred thousand taels? It's really a big appetite!" Fang Chen laughed. Although this money can be collected by many forces in Fuyu, it will definitely hurt. However, compared to the interests of a port, it seems far from enough.
Sha Biao was sure that they would not give up on the port, so he dared to speak loudly.
"Not bad, if it's less, it's better to give it to him. Sha Biao is not weak, and it's not worth making a grudge with him, it's just..." Guan Xiuci nodded and sighed.
Fang Chen shook his head. This person has been comfortable for a long time and his mind has not been clear anymore. He will have such stupid ideas.
"Head of Guan, you know that he is notorious, how can you believe his promise? Will this person be satisfied? Give him once, and he will definitely be willing to be bullied again, and he will come again twice, three times, and then will he not give him?"
"This..." Guan Xiuci opened his mouth. With Sha Biao's greedy nature, he would not believe it himself if he could believe it.
"Besides..." Fang Chen turned his head and glanced at the five pirate ships floating on the sea, and said, "Fang doesn't understand very much. He is just a perfect person. Why dare to come to the port of a county to ask for money? No matter how weak the county is, there should be a few perfect people. Are you not afraid of being surrounded and killed?"
Guan Xiuci and Chang Zhengwei were shocked and suddenly thought of this problem. A port often involves huge interests, and there will be experts in charge. Even if there are more experts in delaying it for a while, they will come.
It is a joke that one wants to attack the port after a successful day, and the other may be left on the shore if it is not good. Why should Sha Biao come?
Moreover, Sha Biao was too calm. Since his appearance, he has not seemed to be in a hurry at all. He also allowed them to notify the person in charge, and did not seem to be worried that a master would come.
But... the two of them suddenly glanced at the person in front of them, and it seemed something was wrong. If they really thought, there was no reason to miss this guy. Compared to those in the county, this kid was the real murderer.
Chang Zhengwei thought for a while, shook his head and said, "We can't figure it out, but Sha Biao seems to have no perfect power to lay the foundation for the port."
"Have you discussed it? Should you give the money?" At this time, the strong man's impatient voice came.
Fang Chen smiled suddenly and said, "Since I can't figure it out, then I'll know if I ask. I'm also very curious, where did Sha Biao get the courage to come to this county to ask for money."
Then, he turned around and said, "Shanzi, Zhuzi, take it down, be careful not to kill it."
"Yes, brother!" The two little guys were happy and rushed over.
