Chapter 33
After hearing this, there was an "ah" sound below, and the people kneeling on the ground raised their heads at the same time, looking at Li Tingyu sitting on the grand teacher's chair with different expressions, some were stunned, some were surprised, some were at a loss, but the most excited was Counting the waves, the White Dragon Wang Tao is gone.

The short fat man smiled like a peony flower, and walked a few steps on the ground, almost reaching Li Tingyu's feet, and asked eagerly: "My lord, my lord! Did Prince Yu really wait for me?"

Li Tingyu looked at Wang Tao with disdain on his face and said, "When I first arrived, I told you that Wang Ling was with me, but you actually forgot?"

Wang Tao said repeatedly: "Don't dare to forget, dare not forget." His heart was full of joy. Although he lived in this Hongze Lake, he did not change his habit of traveling all over the world when doing business. Situation in the Quartet, pay attention to collecting, so who is the Prince Yu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and what rights he has, he is very clear in his heart. Prince Yu Duoduo is the general who was ordered by Dorgon to conquer the South. From the south of the Yellow River, except for the emperor and the regent, he is him The biggest feudal official in the frontier is powerful, and if he wants to recruit a small group of Hongze Lake pirates, that's a matter of one sentence.

Li Tingyu looked at Wang Huan, nodded and said: "Please consult and read out the king's order." It was barely acceptable for him to act like a costumed god, but if he wanted to fabricate the non-existent Wang order, Li Laosan didn't have that kind of literary talent.

Wang Huan bowed and agreed, reached out and took out a scroll from his bosom, held it in his hand, and said to Wang Tao in a sharp voice: "Wang Ling is here, please wait for the case to be ordered quickly!"

Wang Tao and the others were immediately dumbfounded. The court rules were too high-end for a rough man like them. A group of illiterate water thieves brought a long table from outside, and it couldn't fit in the main room, so they had to put it in the open space outside the house, and then simply set up an earthen stove and burned three sticks of incense, and it was done.

Li Tingyu led a group of people outside the house. Wang Tao and others immediately knelt down in front of the incense table consciously, touching their heads to the ground, not daring to release their breath, and waited quietly for Wang Huan to read out the order.A water thief secretly muttered on the side: "Grandma, I kowtowed more on this day than I have in my whole life!" The voice was very small, but Wang Tao heard it, and he suddenly opened his round eyes, looking like a cannibal. He looked at the water thief fiercely, and was so frightened that the man dared not make a sound.

Wang Huan coughed, walked to the incense table, slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand, and then raised it high to cover his face.

He was also a little nervous, because after the scroll was unrolled, there was not a single word on the white paper, so Wang Huan had to improvise by himself and make up a Wang Ling on the spot.In his mind, he tried his best to recall the appearance of the eunuch reading the imperial decree in the TV series of later generations, and at the same time, he thought over the ancient prose he had read before, trying to figure out how to write the classical Chinese prose.But after thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly recalled: the ones kneeling below are a group of illiterates, can't I, a college student, fool around a group of illiterates hundreds of years ago?Do they know more than I do?How can it be!

So he cleared his throat, and Wang Huan read aloud: "Prince Yu and the general who conquered Nanda made an order: The water bandits in Hongze Lake have been in trouble for many years, cut off the waterway, and caused harm to all directions. I like you. But this king thinks that there is a reason for the chaos. It is because the officials of the Ming Dynasty abused the villagers and forced them too much. The officials forced the people to rebel. And because the emperor of this dynasty is kind, he has orders in the world, but only the bandits of the previous dynasty And so on, those who have changed their minds and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty can be pardoned extrajudicially, their bodies can be preserved, and they can find another place to resettle. Therefore, Zhengbai Banner Ezhentuhai was ordered to go to Hongze Lake to recruit the leader of the water bandits, Wang Tao, and below. Take your life, otherwise, the army will come overnight, and not a blade of grass will be left! This order!"

Facing a blank piece of paper, Wang Huan read an article without hesitation, causing sweat to fall from his forehead.Li Tingyu and Li Yan standing next to him were also sweating profusely. They could see clearly that there was not even a single punctuation mark on the paper. While Wang Huan was reading, they were secretly worried, for fear that Wang Huan would read it. If you can't read half of it, it will be difficult.When Wang Huan finished reading, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

When the voice fell to the ground, there was a dead silence in the audience, all the people were silent, those who were kneeling on the ground did not dare to move, and those who were standing did not speak.

After a pause, Wang Huan put away the scroll and said to Wang Tao on the ground: "Chief Wang, do you understand?"

Wang Tao raised his head, his eyes were red and his teeth were clenched. He looked as if he was going crazy. Wang Huan frowned and subconsciously wanted to touch the short knife in his arms.

But in the next second, Wang Tao jumped up, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, the imperial court is going to recruit peace! The Qing Dynasty is going to recruit peace! Hahaha!"

He turned his head like crazy, and yelled at his men who were still kneeling on the ground watching him, his excitement was beyond words: "Brothers, we can finally stop hiding on this bird mountain bird lake! Grandma's, this bird lake I've had enough of staying here, we're going back to the city, hahaha, no need to lick blood on the tip of the knife, no need to eat the last meal without the next meal, we will become the people of the Qing Dynasty and enjoy endless wealth ,Hahaha!"

This wild shout woke up the water thieves on the ground. They all immediately jumped up from the ground and started laughing in agreement with Wang Tao. Some people shouted "Congratulations, brother!", and some people shouted "Long live the Qing Dynasty." !" More people were shouting and shouting, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

Wang Huan and Li Tingyu looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that this matter is over, and the first step of the estrangement has been reached.

Li Tingyu winked at Li Yan, Li Yan nodded, quietly walked away from the open space, and disappeared into the crowd.

After jumping and shouting for a while, Wang Tao calmed down a little, and then he remembered that he had patronized and celebrated, but the noble person behind him had been forgotten.He quickly turned around, bowed respectfully to Li Tingyu and Wang Huan, and said almost incoherently: "My lord, my lord, my little one, oh no, the grassroots are willing to join the Qing Dynasty, willing to surrender, everything willing!"

Wang Huan smiled slightly: "If you surrender to the Qing Dynasty, you will have to shave your head."

Wang Tao was in the middle of his hair, and immediately said: "Of course, of course, the grassroots are willing to shave their heads immediately! Adults, please have a look."

He took off the sweat towel on his head, threw it on the ground, turned around and took out a short knife from a water thief's waist, without saying a word, slashed the sharp blade towards his head, the knife fell, and the long hair fell to the ground, instantly, Most of the top of the head was bare, leaving only a small patch of hair on the back of the head that was not shaved.

Wang Tao pulled out another straw rope, roughly tangled the remaining hair at the back of his head, and tied it together. A scrawled money rattail braid immediately appeared in front of everyone. Although it was a bit ugly, everyone could see that this It's a standard Manchu hairstyle.

Wang Tao tossed his braid proudly, and wanted to say something to Li Tingyu and Wang Huan with a shy face, but one of the pirates pushed the crowd away from the outside, and hurriedly approached him, shouting: "Master, The master! The big thing is not good!"

Wang Tao glared, and said angrily: "It's not big or small, what nonsense? Didn't you see the adults here? I cut your tongue!"

His subordinates hurriedly covered their mouths, glanced at Li Tingyu and Wang Huan in fear, and said in a low voice: "The first master, the second master and the third master rushed over from the west of the island with people, saying yes, yes, yes... ..."

"What do you want? Tell me the fuck, believe it or not, I'll cut your tongue right now!" Wang Tao felt a little anxious when he heard that it was not good.

"Yes, I want to kill the adults of the Qing court, so that the head of the family will stop thinking about recruiting security!" Wang Tao is short and fat, but he is extremely powerful. The second half of the sentence roared out.

At this moment, everyone in the audience heard it, and the water thieves around made a "buzz", and started talking about it miscellaneously, some whispered in their ears, and some rushed out to grab weapons.

Wang Tao stomped his feet, dropped his hands, and shouted, "Quiet the fuck, what's the mess, I'm still here!"

This roar calmed down the flustered water thieves, and everyone quieted down. Then Wang Tao turned around and cupped his hands at Li Tingyu and Wang Huan and said, "Please sit in the room for a while, my lord, let Wang Tao take care of the door, and I will come to my lord later." apologize."

Li Tingyu was expressionless, and said gloomyly: "It seems that Wang Touling's cottage is not monolithic. Okay, please Wang Touling, I will wait for Wang Touling." Turning around, he took Wang Huan and others into the main hall of the small temple. .

Li Tingyu's words caused Wang Tao to have blue veins on his forehead. Master Manqing seemed to have a problem with him. After fetching water in vain, the bright prospect immediately came to naught, which Wang Tao could not accept anyway.

Wang Tao bowed and sent Li Tingyu and others into the main hall. As soon as they entered, he immediately turned around and asked the water thief in a panic, "Your mother, how many people did Zu Tianci and Zubian bring?"

The subordinate rubbed his neck and got up from the ground, and replied: "There are about seven or eight hundred people."

Wang Tao's face changed. Seven or eight hundred people, although not many, should all be the confidantes of the Zu brothers, the main force in foreign warfare, and their fighting power far exceeds that of seven or eight hundred ordinary people. To suppress them, I have to It is reliable to gather thousands of talents.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as the brothers from the ancestors are leveled, they will be able to rely on the Qing Dynasty tomorrow.Wang Tao picked up a spear and yelled at the little bosses gathered around him in a rough voice: "Go and call the children down there, follow me down and see, what medicine did those two boys take wrongly to make such a move?" Waiting for such an ungrateful and stupid thing! Grandma's, I saved both of their lives, have you forgotten all about it?"

Cursing, Wang Tao led a group of his men and rushed down the mountain in a panic. In a short while, there was not even a water thief left in the small temple on the top of the mountain.

Li Tingyu and Wang Huan stood at the entrance of the main hall, holding teacups, respecting each other, took a sip of tea, and looked down the mountain leisurely.

"Counselor, what shall we do next?" Li Tingyu gulped down the tea comfortably and asked.

Wang Huan smiled and blew on the tea leaves floating on the water in the cup, and raised his eyebrows: "My lord asked the question knowingly, of course I was sitting on the Diaoyutai and watching the fire from the other side."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and drank together again.
