Yan Yuheng and Dongfang Xu stood face to face for a while, and Ruan Jingxin only felt extremely eye-catching. It is rare that two peerless beautiful men can be in the same frame, with different styles and the same prosperous beauty.

Dongfang Xu glanced at Ruan Jingxin, he actually knew that one of her fetishes was that she liked beautiful people. It can be seen from the subordinates she uses that there is no mediocre person. So for this man who suddenly appeared in front of him, he was also rarely on guard.

Ruan Jingxin looked at the two men funny, Yan Yuheng and her friendship were not enough, and they couldn't even talk about friendship. But when she met today, she really wanted to explore his intentions.

"I'm tired, let's find a private room and sit down!" Ruan Jingxin took the lead in turning around and going to a private room that she usually used. Xiao Er is a very discerning person, and hurriedly beckoned people in, and then delivered the tea and snacks that Lady Ruan likes.

Dongfang Xu glanced at Xiao Er with satisfaction, and then poured tea for Ruan Jingxin himself. Yan Yuheng, who didn't care about the latter's cheekiness, asked with concern, "How did you run out on such a cold day?"

"Come out and relax. Ruan Jingxin lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea, "How was your trip?"

"It's just a formality. Dongfang Xu shook his head, looking at his expression, he didn't want to say anything, "By the way, I brought you some gadgets, and someone will send them to your house later." ”

The two of them are inconsequential, you and I say a word, as if you have inadvertently forgotten the third person. But Yan Yuheng knew that he was deliberately waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.

He also wants to play with the reserved set, but in front of such two people, what qualifications do he have? So he coughed dryly twice, and finally interjected, "Lord Shizi and Lady Ruan, there is something I want to tell you here." ”

Yes, the posture is very low. Dongfang Xu curled the corner of his lips on one side, "You're not here to do business in the capital?"

"It's for business, but ......," Yan Yuheng frowned, "It's also for another thing." ”

Ruan Jingxin smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, don't play those imaginary things." You are the person in charge of the Yan family, how can you be used to wait for idle things?"

Yan Yuheng smiled humbly, and then became serious, "Do you two know that our shipping business in Dayan has become more and more prosperous in recent years?"

Ruan Jingxin raised her eyebrows. Dongfang Xu asked directly, "Is there an accident at sea?"

Yan Yuheng nodded, "The Yan family also has several ships that travel to and from the sea, and there were also people from outside the country in the normal trade in the past. Lately, however, something has been unusual. ”

"Since you found something unusual, why don't you just report it to the local shipping department yamen?

"If it could be that simple, Yan wouldn't have come here on a cold day. Yan Yuheng smiled bitterly, "We salt merchants often deal with various yamen, and we have some friendships, but this incident made me feel a little unusual. First of all, the Yamen of the Maritime Department turned a blind eye and no longer strictly investigated foreign ships. Then, a large number of Gentiles began to appear in the city. Just before they entered Beijing, the Sang people robbed a few ships and a large amount of goods at sea and left! However, the Yamen of the Maritime Transport Department said that they were only in charge of trade, and that such matters needed to be reported to the Yamen. ”

"Those ships belong to the Yan family?" Ruan Jingxin asked curiously, "What is the value?"

"One of them is that this time the fleet was sent by the ships of all major households, and it was full of brocade, porcelain, tea and other things. If you want to say that the value is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention the ship. Yan Yuheng frowned.

Dongfang Xu smiled, "Your Yan family won't feel distressed for this bit of silver, right?"

Yan Yuheng's face was instantly difficult to look at, "Money is small! We dare to go to the sea to fight for wealth and nobility, and we are not incompetent." It's just that when we recovered the ship, the things on the ship were empty, not to mention, and the people had been tortured and killed!"

Ruan Jingxin suddenly remembered the perverted bloodline of Sang Guo. She sat up straight and said solemnly, "Did they do anything else besides hijacking ships?"

"Yes!" Yan Yuheng's face became even more ugly, "They burned, killed and looted in the fishing village, but the officers and soldiers of the yamen didn't know how to control them. Because they are not from the Dayan Dynasty, they have also crossed the Ming Road in the Maritime Division, and even if they are caught, they will be expelled from the country, and they will come back in a few days. Later, I ran away after the robbery!"

"How can this be reasonable!" Ruan Jingxin remembered that she seemed to have heard about this in her previous life, when the imperial court was in turmoil, which led to the rampant piracy along the coast. It is said that a small island a few dozen nautical miles away was occupied by some people and became a den of pirates.

Dongfang Xu was also obviously a little unhappy, "You came to Beijing just to find a chance to find out about this matter?"

Yan Yuheng sighed, "We don't have less filial piety in business, but we really don't know how to talk about this kind of thing." I thought I could go and visit Lord Ruan, after all, he is our local official, even if he is not in charge of this matter, he can show the way. If this continues, it will be difficult for us to do business, but it is the people along the coast who will suffer. ”

Dongfang Xu glanced at Yan Yuheng deeply, then nodded and asked him, "Have you learned to write a note Chen Zheng?"

"I have also read books for a few years. Yan Yuheng was overjoyed.

"You write down this matter in detail and submit it, and when we report it to the prince and implement it clearly, we will deal with it. As for you...... Go back as soon as possible, this matter is poked out, and it is not good for you. Dongfang Xu felt that Yan Yuheng was much more pleasing to the eye at the moment.

Yan Yuheng bowed his head respectfully, didn't talk nonsense, and went back to prepare to write first.

Ruan Jingxin kept rubbing the teacup, "To put it mildly, it means that other countries are invading our territory and territorial waters and persecuting our people. To put it mildly, it is also rampant, so that the lives of the people are threatened. ”

Dongfang Xu instantly understood the meaning of the territorial waters, and nodded smoothly, "I'm afraid this matter is a big deal, I want to see who gave these bastards the courage to dare to mess around in my Dayan Dynasty!"

"It's just a mulberry country, a land of projectiles, and it's a period of civil strife, could it be that you crossed the ocean just to burn, kill and loot?" Ruan Jingxin was not impressed by these things, but her intuition told her that this matter was not so simple!

Dongfang Xu's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Those bastards who do evil in the land of Dayan should naturally be punished according to the laws of Dayan, but it is useless to forcibly expel them." How can they have time to care about their civil strife?"

"Since they don't care, let's take care of it!" Ruan Jingxin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Those who offend me will be punished!"
