"Do you want to be a thief all your life?" Huang Tinghui's voice was not loud, but it was deafening.
Zheng Dasheng was struck deep in his heart by Huang Tinghui's words.
Although Zheng Dasheng, who was an officer and soldier, has now become a bandit, he lives a quite happy life.
If he hadn't met Huang Tinghui, he might have been able to get thousands of taels of silver.
But even so, Zheng Dasheng still had no shame in going home.
After all, his status is not very convenient.
What should you tell your family?
Say you are a thief, a bandit, or a thief?
Zheng Dasheng was silent. He didn't know how to answer Huang Tinghui for a while.
Liu Erhu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help it anymore. He took the lead and said, "Nonsense, a scholar who talks nonsense!"
"Who do you think you are? Is it possible that you can still make us an official?"
"If you could become a military attache of some rank for me, would I still be reluctant to wear the clothes of a bandit?"
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
After the words fell, the guy named Liu Erhu laughed loudly.
Zheng Dasheng did not laugh along, he just stared at Huang Tinghui's every move.
He tried to see through Huang Tinghui's heart and know what Huang Tinghui was thinking and what his plans were.
However, Huang Tinghui burst into laughter along with Liu Erhu.
Seeing Huang Tinghui laughing along with him, Liu Erhu couldn't help but feel angry. He slightly pulled out the long knife in his hand and said fiercely to Huang Tinghui, "Why are you laughing with me?"
"Then why are you laughing?" Huang Tinghui said to Liu Erhu calmly.
"You are laughing at your nonsense, and you actually want to deceive us!" Liu Erhu's eyes widened with anger, and he yelled at Huang Tinghui.
"How do you know I'm lying to you?"
"I wiped out all the pirates that day. If I was just a scholar, how could I do this?"
"And if I don't have any confidence, why would I have the courage to take risks alone and come to this tiger's den?"
"Liu Erhu, do you really think that I am as stupid and stupid as you?" Huang Tinghui taunted Liu Erhu mercilessly.
"you……"
"you wanna die!"
Liu Erhu pulled out the long knife on the spot. If Zheng Dasheng hadn't stopped him, the knife would have struck Huang Tinghui's face.
"You mean there is a way for us to become officials?"
"It's not that Mr. Zheng doesn't believe it. There are so many people in the world who want to be officials!"
"Why did you give such a great benefit to me alone?"
"What evidence do you have for me to believe that you can really make me an official?" Zheng Dasheng still looked at Huang Tinghui in disbelief.
Although judging from the rumors and the fact that Huang Tinghui repeatedly ruined his own good deeds, Huang Tinghui is indeed a monster-like figure.
But no matter how powerful he was, Zheng Dasheng still didn't believe that Huang Tinghui could really make him an official.
Besides, why did Huang Tinghui want him to be an official?
This is simply a fantasy!
Faced with Zheng Dasheng's doubts, Huang Tinghui did not panic at all.
He still said to Zheng Dasheng very calmly, "There is a reason why Tinghui said that!"
"Master Zheng, do you know who the prefect has been dealing with in the past few years?"
"What is the prefect's greatest concern?" Huang Tinghui looked at Zheng Dasheng with a smile.
Hearing Huang Tinghui's question, Zheng Dasheng said hesitantly, "Pirates?"
"Since the pirate disaster in Ruian County, the magistrate has made great efforts to deal with the pirates who caused harm to the sea!"
"But what does this matter have to do with giving me official positions?"
"Could it be that you want me to kill all these pirates and give us some official positions?"
"Those pirates are extremely vicious, and every one of them has blood on their hands!"
"What's the difference between letting us brothers deal with them and letting us die directly?"
"If this is really the case, Huang Tinghui, you have really disappointed me!" Zheng Dasheng shook his head and said.
He didn't want to become cannon fodder for the government and face those pirates.
What's more, if they fight with pirates, what official position can they be given?
How could I be beguiled by Huang Tinghui's few words?
"To deal with the pirates, it is natural for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to deal with them!"
"If Master Zheng were to directly deal with the pirates, wouldn't it be overkill?"
"And if that's the case, how can I persuade the prefect to look at you differently?" Huang Tinghui said to Zheng Dasheng with a smile.
"What do you want?"
Zheng Dasheng looked into Huang Tinghui's eyes. He really couldn't figure out what Huang Tinghui was thinking.
"There is an old saying: A thousand-mile embankment breaks down in an ant nest."
"Many times, if something can be caused from inside the enemy, the enemy who seems to be extremely vicious will be vulnerable in the end."
"It's like iron that looks indestructible if it's rusted on the inside."
"That iron weapon can be easily destroyed in the end!"
Huang Tinghui did not explain everything clearly, but everyone present was smart.
Not only Zheng Dasheng, but also Liu Erhu instantly understood what Huang Tinghui wanted to do.
Among the swindlers who wanted to frighten Huang Tinghui at that time, Liu Erhu was the most cunning person.
"You want us brothers to sneak into the pirates and spy on the pirates' movements for the government?"
"Provide useful information to the government!" Liu Erhu pointed at Huang Tinghui and said.
"You are delusional!"
"Those pirates are extremely cruel people. If they know the true intentions of our brothers!"
"We will definitely be chopped into pieces and thrown into the sea to feed the fish!"
"Our brothers can live freely on land, why should we take risks?"
"Huang Tinghui, you really have a sharp tongue and a good plan!"
"You actually want to use the hands of pirates to deal with our brothers. I have to kill you today!" Liu Erhu said viciously to Huang Tinghui.
Facing the menacing Liu Erhu, Huang Tinghui smiled.
He said to Zheng Dasheng without any panic, "Master Zheng, the prefect is now fully supervising the battle to exterminate the pirates!"
"The power of the pirates is no longer what it used to be. If you can make great contributions in the battle to annihilate the pirates!"
"It's no problem to break away from being a gangster and become an official of the imperial court!"
"How could you miss such a great opportunity?" After saying this, Huang Tinghui looked directly at Liu Erhu, and he said to Zheng Dasheng in a jealous manner, "How could such a great opportunity be missed like this!"
"It's such a pity that Tinghui is given charge of Zheng Da!"
"Brother of yours, you don't want Mr. Zheng to be an official!"
"It can be seen that he seems to have a deep resentment towards you, and maybe he wants to replace you!"
Huang Tinghui smiled softly and spoke to Zheng Dasheng in a leisurely manner.
