Chapter 185: Not Listening to Advice
The appearance of the water thief was unexpected by everyone.
According to common sense, even if water thieves rob, they should not rob such a huge ship.
"This situation is not normal. Could it be that the water thieves have also run out of food?" Sun Jiaxing said softly.
He and Gu Mingda looked at each other, and the two of them quickly made a decision.
"Father, mother, Yun Niang, you find a hiding place to hide and take care of the children. Let's go and have a look in front." Gu Mingda said to Zhang Yun Niang.
Sun Jiaxing also warned Li in the same way.
The men from both families have decided to sacrifice themselves, just to protect their wives, children and family.
Together they found the chief steward on the ship.
"Manager Xu, the water thieves are coming with force. The plan for now is to organize the strong men on the ship to fight against the enemy together." Gu Mingda suggested.
When facing Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing, the chief steward always had a very considerate and courteous attitude because he knew that the two were Juren and Jinshi.
"No, no, no, our boss has already dealt with the bandits along the road. I just took a look from a distance and saw the flag of Wuyazhai hanging out on the opposite side. The boss has a close relationship with our business. As long as we show our sign, They won't make it more difficult," the chief steward said confidently.
Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing were not as optimistic as him.
"Manager Xu, I vaguely remember that it seems that the flag on the bow of the ship is hanging with the sign of your employer." Gu Mingda reminded.
But the chief steward still didn't take it to heart and said: "Nowadays, the wind and waves are strong, and it is common to see the flag clearly. You don't need to worry too much."
When Gu Mingda heard this, a big stone hung in his heart, and he did not feel relaxed at all.
"Manager Xu, no matter whether the water thief is properly dealt with or not, it is not a bad thing for us to prepare first. If the visitor is really evil, there will be no time to make temporary preparations." Gu Mingda persuaded earnestly.
But Guanshi Xu seemed to have made up his mind, and a look of impatience began to appear on his face: "Gu Juren, we people have been making a living on the water all year round. I have never had any problems with water thieves in all my years of sailing. Things on the water No one knows better than us, just keep your heart in your stomach!”
The big steward almost pointed his nose at them and said they were meddling in their own business.
While several people were talking, the water thieves' boats had formed an encirclement. The chief steward asked someone to let a small boat down. He took the prepared silver and took several boatmen to transfer to the small boats and went to the water thieves leader.
The chief steward saw what seemed to be the third leader of Wuyazhai standing on the boat headed by him, and he did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
"Third master, why are you out on business today, while the first master is his old man?" the first steward asked with a smile.
The Third Master sneered: "It seems like you don't care about me anymore!"
The chief steward was stunned when he heard this. They had always been polite in their dealings, so why did the third master suddenly fall out with each other.
The chief steward hurriedly handed over the silver: "Third Master, you are just joking. Be careful and treat the brothers to a drink with it."
The third boss didn't answer.
The big steward didn't know what went wrong for a moment, so he added a handful of broken silver.
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen Manager Xu for a few days, and today I found out that our Wuyazhai is just a bunch of beggars in the eyes of your trading company." The third master said in a strange tone.
When the chief steward heard this, he only felt aggrieved: "Third Master, our boss just ordered someone to send the offering money a few months ago."
"The money is not in my hands, how do I know whether the money is real or fake." The third master replied casually.
Perhaps it was because the former head of Wuyazhai was too polite to the chief steward. The chief steward had not noticed anything was wrong at this time and only said: "Third Master, you are not being unreasonable. You have already given me the money you should give." After that, if you don’t believe it, send someone back to ask the boss.”
The third master sighed and said: "You are making it difficult for me. Since you are unwilling to pay and are eager to see the first master, I can only help you."
Hearing this, a young man next to the third master seemed to be eager to show off, and he took a big knife and slashed directly at the chief steward: "Old man, one by one, the third master, don't you take our first master seriously! "
Before the big boss died, his eyes widened: "You...you...killed the big boss too?"
The big housekeeper took everything into account, except that there was trouble in Wuyazhai, and a bloody seizure of power actually occurred.
Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing stood on the board of the boat, watching those people who were originally talking about killing people suddenly killing people.
Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing expected that there might be twists and turns, but they did not expect that the chief executive would use his life to verify this.
There were many people on the boat who saw this scene. The small boat led by the big steward was gone, and the boatmen suddenly became chaotic.
Seeing that he was about to get into chaos on the ship, Gu Mingda directly grabbed a young steward who was in a panic and didn't know what to do.
"Quick, the water pirates have turned against each other! Hurry up and organize the boatmen to pick up weapons!"
When the young steward heard this, the look of panic on his face continued: "I...I...I'm just a handyman, how can I disturb them..."
Gu Mingda said directly: "The chief manager is dead. We can't escape anyway. No matter what you say or scare us, we can only fight to the death. As long as we survive, you will definitely be able to be our boss when you return to the trading company." Big boss! Don’t you want to be a big boss?”
When the little steward heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into light: "Okay, okay, I'll call the boatmen to come over. If there is no big steward, then I will be the big steward!"
Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing went around telling people to organize the staff. Sun Jiaxing was in charge of the lower class cabin, while Gu Mingda was in charge of the upper class cabin.
At this time, the people in the lower class cabin were easier to talk to. If they were promised a huge profit, they would be willing to fight for the life and death of everyone.
On the contrary, the masters in the upper class cabin all wanted to keep the young and strong servants to protect themselves. No matter how much Gu Mingda talked, they were unwilling to provide any manpower.
Even the ordinary young and strong men that Sun Jiaxing had organized with great difficulty, the masters in the upper class cabin wanted to get involved when they saw it.
"How much did he give you? I'm willing to pay double!"
The masters in the upper class cabin dragged their feet crazily in the face of a life-and-death situation.
The dozens of people that Sun Jiaxing had organized with great effort were originally gathered for profit. Now that they heard that someone offered a higher price, they turned against them on the spot. A bunch of people ran away and surrounded the group of masters. They looked so dedicated that those who didn't know would think they were originally their servants.
Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing were so angry when they saw this.
The boat shook violently. Seeing that they could not persuade these people, Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing could only take the servants of the Sun family, armed with weapons and stand in the front line with the boatmen.
"How about we give some money to the pirates and ask them to let us go?" Someone suggested.
This was immediately retorted: "Can't the pirates kill all the people and search slowly? In this way, they don't have to worry about us hiding anything. They are all vicious people who kill without blinking an eye, and they will not let us go!"
The cunning master heard this and began to urge his servants: "Hurry up, hurry up, look for a small boat. If it is torn open later, we will quickly get on the boat and run away."
