Chapter 291 Another big fish
Lin Shuisheng smiled and said, "What's the hurry? It's more than forty miles from the Pearl River Estuary, and we've only walked halfway."
"It's almost dark now. We're here, it's already dark." Gong Xiaodao.
Zhao Peng smiled and said, "It's better to be dark! Let's do it when it's dark!"
Lin Shuisheng nodded: "The Marquis said right. The Yuan family is quite famous in the village. If they go to arrest people during the day, they are afraid that the troublemakers will stop them. Then it will be difficult to deal with. We will arrest people at night and catch them off guard."
Zhao Peng ordered Chen Xinyuan to sing a flag-tongued signal to slow down the fleet sailing.
The fleet sailed slowly on the river surface, and along the way, they encountered many fishing boats fishing on the river surface. When the fishermen saw the small sampan team hanging by the Ming Navy slowly approaching the current, they did not react much. They just took a look and then caught fishing on their own.
The local fishermen are not frogs in the well who have never seen the world. These fishermen living at the mouth of the Pearl River have not only seen the Ming navy and all kinds of pirates, but also seen the large gunships of the Red Barbarians. However, they still have some good feelings for the Ming navy. After all, a few years ago, the Ming Zheng navy defeated the Red Barbarians and the pirate Liu Xiang's fleet with one against two.
It is said that the Red-Fao Yi was defeated in Liaoluo Bay, and the warships as huge as the mountain were sunk. However, the local fishermen did not feel proud of this kind of exciting Chinese people. In that era, the people did not have any sense of national identity. The Red-Fao Yi ships were strong and cannons were profitable, but the Red-Fao Yi did not feel sad about these fishermen. Whether it was the Red-Fao Yi or the Franchise man, they drove over with giant ships and did not pay the same money to buy what they wanted to eat.
The fleet continued to slowly move upstream, and the sky gradually darkened. The sampans hung lanterns and sailed slowly on the river. Looking from a distance, it was like a fishing fire with starry sky on the river.
After nightfall, the fleet was less than ten miles away from its destination. Even if it was sailing slowly, it was estimated that it would be possible to reach its destination Shuinan Village, Shijie Town, in half an hour.
"Let the speed be slower, we'd better arrive in the middle of the night." Zhao Peng asked Chen Xinyuan to send a signal with the light.
The fleet speed became even slower, and this section of the river water was very stable. Although it was against the current, the water flow rate was less than one mile per hour. The sailors could row slowly and move forward slowly.
The sailors rowed gently and rowed slowly on the river surface, which was actually very labor-saving. The slower the boat speed, the smaller the resistance of the water. The relationship between resistance and speed increased by geometric multiples. Rowing slowly and driving slowly at a speed of two kilometers per hour did not require much effort for sailors.
The boat speed is two kilometers per hour, and after deducting the water flow speed, it can sail 1,600 meters per hour. It is only three miles away. It is still nine miles away from Shuinan Village, Shijie Town, about three hours, and it will arrive in one hour.
Late at night, the sampan team that the Jinyiwei was riding in finally arrived at the riverside of Shuinan Village, Shijie Town.
It was already late at night and everyone was quiet. Zhao Peng and the Jinyiwei got off the boat and rushed into the village silently. After entering the village for about two hundred steps, Lin Shuisheng pointed to a manor that looked not very eye-catching and said, "Here."
This is the home of Yuan Chonghuan's younger brother Yuan Chongcan. There is a circle of adobe walls outside and there is no tall house door outside. It looks like a house outside an ordinary rural staff member.
At the order of Zhao Peng, nearly two thousand Jinyiwei surrounded the not-so-large Yuan house, while Lin Shuisheng brought more than a dozen Jinyiweisers to the gate. Eight Jinyiweisers picked up a piece of wood and hit the gate heavily.
With a "bang", the not-so-solid gate fell to the ground. Lin Shuisheng rushed into the door with more than a dozen Jinyiwei.
The people from the Yuan family woke up from their sleep, but saw a group of fierce and burly men rushing into the house with a torch in their hands, pointing at them with a sharp steel knife in their hands.
"Good man, please spare me! Good man, please spare me!" The head of the family Yuan Chongcan knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Lin Shuisheng sneered and said, "We are not here to kill people, but to make a fortune! As long as you cooperate honestly, we will not hurt anyone here's life!"
"Good man, please spare your life, the villain is willing to give the hero 20,000 taels of silver!" Yuan Chongcan kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Twenty thousand taels of silver? We have two thousand brothers, and only one person gets ten taels? Is this a beggar? "Lin Shuisheng snorted coldly, "Don't think we don't know how much silver your Yuan family has! Your boss Yuan Chonghuan has been in Liaodong for so many years, and the court has only copied eight thousand taels of silver. Tell me to the ghosts?"
"You, who are you?" Yuan Chongcan asked tremblingly.
Lin Shuisheng snorted: "Once the time the imperial officers and soldiers, but now they are just pirates! We come to the Yuan family to make a fortune and act as a way for heaven! Your boss was in Liaodong and reselling grain to earn a lot of money for Jiannu! It was the food sold to Jiannu and fattening the evil wolf that allowed them to have the strength to enter the pass and rob! Your family's silver is covered with the blood of the Han people!"
"It turned out to be a pirate who had a relationship with the court," Yuan Chongcan sneered, "How much money do you want?"
"As long as you spit out all the ill-gotten wealth, your family will be safe and sound!" Lin Shuisheng stared at Yuan Chongcan fiercely, making his scalp numb.
"How can I get the money? Yuan Zhushi is honest and honest, and he was framed by the eunuch party. He has been an official for many years, but the only 8,000 taels of silver has been confiscated by the court? If you have sex, just kill me! If you kill me, you may not get a piece of silver ingot!" Yuan Chongcan became bolder instead. In fact, he was afraid of dying, but there was so much silver hidden in the Yuan family's cellar. If all of them were taken away by thieves, it would be better to die than to die.
It is said that the Qing Dynasty is attacking the thieves in the northwest. As long as the thieves are taken down, the Qing Dynasty will drink horses from Jiangnan. At that time, the world will be from the Qing Dynasty. Our Yuan family has made such great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. As long as the Qing Dynasty comes, the silver will be able to see the light of heaven. At that time, use these silver to buy land, shops, and mines, and why not make a fortune?
Therefore, Yuan Chongcan must kill the Yuan family without money. Even if the thief threatens to kill him, he cannot hand over the money. If he is killed, as long as the money is still there, his two sons and the eldest brother's three sons will still make a fortune in the future. If the money is gone, it will be completely over.
"Very good, you are very stubborn!" Lin Shuisheng snorted and turned around and shouted, "Take Yuan Zhaoshi up!"
After a while, two Jinyiwei dragged Yuan Zhaoshi into the hall.
Yuan Zhaoshi knelt on the ground and cried: "Low Dou save me quickly!"
Lin Shuisheng slapped Yuan Zhaoshi hard in the face: "Don't you lose your eyes! Jujiezi! He screamed again, it makes people feel upset!"
After being slapped, Yuan Zhaoshi immediately became honest and never dared to shout again.
Lin Shuisheng put the knife on Yuan Zhaoshi's neck and pointed at Yuan Chongcan: "Old thing, you have to think about it. This is your son. As long as the labor and capital accidentally slips, your son's head will fall to the ground!"
Yuan Chongcan snorted coldly: "Where is money? Dear heroes, don't you look at it. Does the Yuan family's house look like a rich family?"
Lin Shuisheng raised his sword and cut off one of Yuan Zhaoshi's arm.
"Ah!" Yuan Zhao initially made a pig-killing cry. But Yuan Chongcan was not moved and was still stubborn. Lin Shuisheng waved his knife again and cut off an arm, but he still couldn't let Yuan Chongcan let go.
Seeing that Yuan Chongcan was not eating soft and hard, he would rather not have his son's life than to save the money. It seemed that he could only use his big move. So Lin Shuisheng shouted: "Come here, I'm going to have a big meal for Mr. Yuan!"
The so-called big meal is to prepare water beheading. The water beheading move is really a good way that Zhao Peng has tried and tested. No matter how strong or hard the person has, as long as the water beheading is taken, they will basically beheaded. If it still doesn't work, then add water beheading, add chili, and use chili water to water beheading. No one can stand it.
Two Jinyiwei went out. They brought a bucket of water, poured it into the pot, lit firewood from below, and then sprinkled the chili powder into the pot.
