Chapter Eighty-Two: Outside and Inside
"Uncle Nine, I don't understand what he said, when did these Malays get along with us?
At the beginning of this year, more than a dozen people were injured by the Malay natives in the second room, and the Chen family even died. Ye Fulai asked with a smile in his small eyes.
"There must be petty fights, but it has never been said that we will send soldiers to drive us out of Pattani, right?"
Ye Wenxin shook his head and said, "According to my old man, could it be that they took the knighthood and reward given by the first king as a signal that the Siamese people want to move them, and regarded our Ye family as the internal response of the Siamese people?" ”
"Then what does Uncle Nine want to do? Is it to hand over our father and son to appease the wrath of Prime Minister Bagadur? Or do we want to resign from the reward of the first king? ”
Ye Fulai behaved like a diligent and inquisitive child, and there was not the slightest anger on his chubby face.
Ninth Uncle Ye Wenxin hesitated for a moment, he knew this nephew too well, he was absolutely ruthless, and the six relatives didn't recognize the master, but... Alas, Ye Wenxin sighed in his heart.
"Da Lang laughed, Uncle Jiu, how can I have such a mind, just think about it according to my elder, the king of this life has given so many rewards, fields, slaves, gold and silver, but everything has gone into Shu Wu's pocket, yesterday he shot in the martial arts arena is a few hundred taels of silver, hundreds of acres of fertile land, and slave women, can not be good land servants, gold, jewelry and jade are all returned to the individual, but the disaster caused by the sword and soldiers is borne by the clan!"
As soon as Ye Wenxin's words came out, the heads of all the rooms and families of the Zhongyi Hall couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, because Ye Wenxin's words were not unreasonable, and because the reward of Rama I was so amazing!
50,000 acres of fertile land, thousands of slaves, guards, and the future vice governor of Pattani (the Malays definitely don't know, but the helmsman of the Ye family's houses and families must not be able to hide it!) Any reward is a great treasure!
What's more, the land by the Tani River has to be grabbed by the Ye family, and everyone will contribute to it, and it is Ye Fulai's father and son who eat meat, and no one will want to put it aside.
"What Uncle Jiu said is that Shu Wu is young and has shallow talents, although these rewards are obtained by me in a fight to the death, but after all, we are a family, and we are all descendants of Mr. Feng Chuan (Ye Dajing, a native of the Southern Song Dynasty during the Xianchun period, a Jinshi, settled in Meixian County after the failure of the Anti-Yuan Dynasty, and the ancestor surnamed Ye in Meixian County), so I am willing to take out all the rewards given by the first king!"
Ye Kai stood up and deliberately accentuated the four words of death battle, just to tell everyone who was doing it that this reward was obtained by him Ye Kai who survived and rescued Rama II, and it was not given by Rama I.
"I'll just say it! Shu Wu, this kid has a future, atmospheric! Don't blame Uncle Nine, I'm outspoken, we are a family, we must have blessings and hardships! ”
Ye Wenxin's old face was wrinkled and blooming, and he didn't want more, thousands of acres of land, more than a hundred and ten slaves, and dozens of women who could be married!
"Of course Shu Wu won't blame Uncle Jiu, you are an elder!" An unnatural smile appeared on Ye Kai's face, looking a little gloomy and compassionate.
Ye Wenxin blinked his eyes that were a little presbyopia, why did he suddenly feel that the smiling face of Ye Kai in front of him was so familiar?
It's like. Just like Ye Fulai was when he was young, every time he, a nephew who was not too fat at that time, wanted to engage in some conspiracy, it was this kind of smile, as much as he wanted to infiltrate people, Ye Wenxin suddenly shuddered!
"But..."Sure enough, the uneasiness in Ye Wen's confidence rose, and Ye Kai spoke, "Although I don't dare to blame Uncle Nine, my grandson has some doubts, and I hope that Uncle Nine will answer one or two." ”
"What doubts? You name it! Ye Wenxin took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on his palms, and took a sip of tea from the tea bowl with a little trembling.
"How did Second Uncle Fulin appear on Bashar's ship? Why was Zheng Qiqi's 'white goods' collected by our Ye family sold to the Xie family's Tongyuan by Bashar's younger brother Mahmoud?
We have long made an oath in front of the ancestral tablet that we will never sell a gun or a knife to the Malays of Pattani, why did there be hundreds of good bird guns made in Foshan in the Sultan's Palace last month?
Why did the Dutch know the whereabouts of Zeng Mazi, who came to trade last time? And sank two of Zeng Mazi's three boats? ”
Ye Kai walked forward slowly, staring at the ninth uncle Ye Wenxin with two eyes like a falcon, Bashar is a famous Malay pirate, and the Ye family has never done much business with him.
As for the sale of weapons to the Malays in the Sultan's Palace, it was even more forbidden, and Zeng Mazi was not actually considered a pirate, he was a Chinese fisherman who lived on Wansheng Shitangyu, which later became the Natuna Islands.
He does not participate in direct robbery, but acts as a small pirate who needs to sell the stolen goods and the role of a broker before the Ye family.
But this back and forth between Pattani and Natuna, who is as familiar with the nearby waters as a pirate broker from his own family, was ambushed by the Dutch after completing the transaction with the Ye family two months ago!
The Dutch suddenly killed Zeng Mazi on the way home from the sea outside Pattani, as if he had been waiting there, although Zeng Mazi ran away in the end, but he no longer trusted the Ye family, which caused a big blow to the Ye family's reputation at sea!
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Wenxin, who was a little flustered, slammed the tea bowl on the coffee table next to him, "Do you suspect that these things were done by the old man?" It's a big unfilial piety to frame the elders, you have thought it through for me! ”
"Of course my grandson doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but isn't Uncle Nine a little confused?" Ye Kai's voice suddenly became stern, "What was the first thing Sun Er asked you?" Uncle Nine think about it carefully? ”
Ye Wenxin was stunned, he slowly recalled, "You are asking me, why is your second uncle Fulin in ......" Reading and reading, Ye Wenxin's eyes suddenly opened and he was stunned.
"Uncle Nine! Let me tell you the truth, that Bashar's brother Mahmoud has already sold you, and the ship that came yesterday was not a Malay pirate, but a Siamese navy! ”
"Forint! You.... What did you do with Forint? He's your second uncle, you're cheating! Ye Wenxin stood up with bloodshot eyes, trembling his body, pointing a finger at Ye Kai, and his mouth was closed one by one.
The arrest of Bashar's younger brother Mahmoud was actually only the decision of Rama I, he was afraid that when he marched into Pattani, Bashar would come to make trouble, so he wanted to pinch Mahmoud in his hand so that he could talk to Bashar about the conditions, after all, Mahmoud was not only Bashar's younger brother, but also a hand he stretched out to the outside world.
As a result, Rama I's request was not met, Ye Kai didn't know, and he and his father Ye Fulai had gained a lot.
When Ye Kai led the troops forward, the frightened Mahmoud thought that Ye Kai, who had just developed, was going to trouble him, but before he was interrogated, he told the news that Ye Wenxin and they had secretly colluded to enrich their pockets, make a fortune everywhere, and even sell weapons to the Malays in Pattani.
Ye Kai, father and son, who are both fox attributes, immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to get rid of Ye Wenxin and his cronies!
