After Niumancun left Shandong, Liu Pei was not idle. He took Liu Dahai to Ye County. On the one hand, it is to finalize the wedding. On the other hand, it is to discuss how to promote Wang Changde.

In this matter, Wang Changde's opinion is very important. He must explain to Liu Pei in detail which faction he belongs to? Who is there to support you? Who are the relatives and friends who can get help in the same year? It's quite a complicated thing.

When discussing this matter with Wang Changde, Wang Changde was very embarrassed. As Liu Pei's father-in-law, he needs his son-in-law to help him get an official position, which makes him feel ashamed! But the desire for promotion prevailed over the shame. So he explained his connections and resources to Liu Pei in detail. And carefully scrutinize the plan.

I have to say that Wang Changde is not a person who is very good at drilling. He has poor connections at the top. Not many of his peers occupy high positions. This makes the whole plan more difficult. Therefore, Liu Pei proposed to follow Wei Zhongxian's path again, but was resolutely opposed by Wang Changde! The reason is that he doesn't want to bear the reputation of a eunuch.

And Liu Pei knew that in less than two years, Wei Zhongxian would be tossed to death by Chongzhen. So now with the help of Wei Zhongxian's death, it is not impossible to ascend to the throne. However, there are some hidden dangers in doing so, and it will be easy to be liquidated after Wei Zhongxian's death. After all, after Wei Zhongxian's death, most of his henchmen were liquidated, and only a small number of people did not have an accident, but they were also dismissed from office.

Considering this, Liu Pei also agreed to Wang Changde's choice. Fortunately, it is just to seek Wang Changde's promotion to a higher level, and the difficulty is not too great. As long as you sprinkle a lot of money to open the way, that's it.

However, Liu Pei regretted that he still didn't see Miss Wang this time. However, Liu Dahai was clever and quietly stuffed a letter to the female martial artist who took care of the house, and asked her to transfer it to Miss Wang's personal maid. And it worked!

Those female martial artists are the ones left behind by Liu Pei when he kidnapped Wang Changde last time. Now they are in charge of the family care home, and they are also responsible for monitoring the entire Wang family's every move.

Liu Pei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he got the news, and comforted himself that this could be regarded as a Hongyan biography! What Liu Pei didn't know was that his every move was watched by his wife. If it weren't for her acquiescence, how could the little girl dare to accept Liu Pei's letter?

After Ye County sent Liu Dahai away, Liu Pei rushed back to Jiaozhou. However, a few days after he returned to Jiaozhou, he received bad news, his ships at sea were attacked, and more than once.

The sea is now Liu Pei's lifeblood, so he can't help but be nervous. He immediately thrifted Wu Yizhou to inquire about the situation.

As soon as Wu Yizhou entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Family master, I'm afraid we are being targeted by that bastard Zheng Zhilong!" Now the ships of the sea will attack when they see us! ”

Liu Pei hurriedly asked what was going on? Wu Yizhou said: "Family master, things are not good! On the way back, we were attacked twice! This is very unusual! And one of the ships is clearly looking specifically for what we look like! ”

This matter starts with Liu Pei's official takeover of the trade between Neiku and the Shimazu family a few years ago. When Liu Dahai returned to the Ryukyus from Beijing, he also brought a token and a letter. Because his wife attaches great importance to this matter, she specially asked Wu Yizhou to go to Dengzhou in person according to the address on the letter.

When Wu Yizhou arrived at the merchant's shop, he learned that the owner of the shop was a hidden stake of the East Factory, which was specially set up to raise goods for trade with the Shimazu family.

The shopkeeper was white and chubby, with two moustaches. If it weren't for Wu Yizhou's suspicions, he deliberately observed carefully, only to find out that the two mustaches were fake beards. Otherwise, you wouldn't have noticed that it was a fake beard! It's quite fake, it should be the craftsmanship of the inner house.

The eunuch read the letter brought by Wu Yizhou and also checked the token. It was confirmed that Wu Yizhou was indeed a person sent by Dongchang. But his complexion was not pretty. And he wanted to talk to Wu Yizhou several times, and he wanted to talk and stopped.

Wu Yizhou had been instructed by Liu Pei in advance, and he also guessed what he wanted to say. said directly: "Brother, I'm not from your Dongchang. Strictly speaking, I'm just hired by your East Factory to sail the boat. As for the rest, I won't care. ”

After getting Wu Yizhou's promise, this person opened his eyes and smiled. Wu Yizhou gave a detailed introduction to the trade situation over the years. He also said that he could continue to help Wu Yizhou raise goods in the future. Because a while ago, the Shimazu family and Liu Pei went to war and occupied all the ships. So it's been a long time since there have been ships to deliver goods. There is a large amount of goods in the store, but there is no need to worry about the goods being transported. Wu Yizhou, who was overjoyed, ordered some goods with relatively high value to be loaded and shipped to Shimazu's house.

Wu Yizhou's journey to Shimazu's house was very smooth and there were no accidents. It should be because no one runs this route. The accident happened on the way back.

On the way back, the ship was heavy with copper, brimstone, and marry. So on the way to Jiaozhou, he was gradually chased by a boat. After the ship recognized it as Liu Pei's ship, he followed it for a long time before deciding to attack. However, his will to attack is not resolute. After the two ships had fought back and forth a few times, the search retreated.

But the second ship is not simple. The ship seemed to be searching for prey in the waterway. They relied on the fact that the ship had no cargo, sailed briskly, and repeatedly entangled with Wu Yizhou's ships. Fierce clashes broke out between the two sides.

Later, Wu Yizhou had to discard some copper and sulfur to make the ship lighter. Moreover, the ship's artillery is very powerful, and it can suppress the opponent from a long distance, and does not let them get close. After killing and wounding many people on the other side, he also paid some casualties. The pirate ship left completely. After that, Wu Yizhou turned around the sea, and after making sure that no one was following him, he quietly slipped into Jiaozhou Bay at night.

After Liu Pei heard the whole story, he was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table. said: "It's all Zheng Zhilong, this bastard!" He's really up to me! ”

Wu Yizhou said worriedly: "Family master, we still have a lot of boats outside, will something happen to us?" ”

Liu Pei sneered and said, "Something will definitely happen!" It's just a matter of how much is lost. ”

Now Liu Pei's biggest concern is the accident of the ship transporting the victims. Those ships were full of victims, and if they were attacked by pirates, the victims would probably suffer heavy casualties! If this is the case, this will make Liu Pei's conscience unbearable!

Liu Pei thought for a while and then said, "Zhiheng, you go to the dock now to sit down." Once a ship comes into port, don't let them out again. Then let the captain come to me and report on the voyage. ”

After Wu Yizhou was ordered to go out, the angry Liu Pei sent someone to call Liu Jiang. As a result, Liu Jiang met the guards who invited people on the way here.

Liu Jiang came by coincidence because he had good deeds to repay his merits. Through the female martial artist installed in the Wang family, he got a reply from Miss Wang to Liu Pei, and he was happily reporting to Liu Pei. I didn't expect to go to the opposite side of the food on the way here.

On the way, he had already taken out Liu Pei from his mouth in the morning, and he was in a bad mood at the moment. So he also restrained his grinning expression. However, Liu Jiang was not afraid of Liu Pei's tantrum today, because he had a talisman in his arms.

As soon as he entered the door, before Liu Pei could open his mouth, he took out the letter from his arms and handed it over and said, "The head of the family, it's just a reply from Miss Wang!" You read the letter before you explain it. The messenger is still waiting for me to reply! ”

Liu Pei guessed Liu Jiang's ghost idea when he saw the letter. However, he had a good relationship with Liu Jiang, and coupled with the effect of this letter, Liu Pei also restrained his anger. However, in order to punish Liu Jiang for being clever, Liu Pei still kicked two kicks. And understanding is grinning!

After calming down for a moment, he took the letter and opened it. However, to Liu Pei's disappointment, there was nothing substantive in the letter. Just a simple greeting and a few small questions. This disappointed Liu Pei. However, Liu Pei felt not disappointed when he thought about it. Because he and Miss Wang have no substantive contact at all, and they don't even know about common topics, how can there be detailed letters.
