Zheng Zhilong stayed in the governor's yamen today for a lot longer than he imagined - Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, also gave him enough face this time.

Later that day, Zheng and his entourage returned to Hengguangkang with joy. And at this time, since the news has not been deliberately blocked, then Fuzhou City will naturally set off a wave of undercurrents with red and white.

The first to come to the door was Tongzhi Lin Shudi. As the main figure who has been sparing no effort to help the Zheng family, seeing that victory is imminent, he naturally wants to find Brother Zhilong to sell a wave of credit.

Lin Tongzhi was not disappointed. When he left Hengguangkang, he not only got a gift list, but also a promise: in the future, the cargo ship of the Tongzhijia will receive the flag from the Zheng family and be free for life......

Several large and small maritime merchants who had already been prepared also came to the door one after another to congratulate them.

You must know that Zheng's trip to Fuzhou, even if it is the so-called "light car and simple follow", then there are at least 5 Fu boats.

These 5 ships are also loaded with 800 elites of the Zheng family, and they are Zheng Zhilong's core soldiers.

This group of people is on the shore, and it is impossible to say that the people of the three mountains and five mountains do not pay attention. Even if Zheng Zhilong ordered to keep a low profile before entering the city, it was normal for the brothers to go to Fuzhou City to drink some wine and have some fun. After coming and going like this, there were more people who knew that Juqu Zheng Yiguan had entered the city to recruit An.

Of course, that's not a big deal right now. As long as Zhao'an can be successfully completed, then the maritime merchants of the entire Fujian will have to look at Zheng's face from now on.

......

The next day, the time was familiar, the familiar yamen. Today, the place where Lao Xiong met with the Zheng family seems to be closer: the big study.

The candidates involved in this matter also had an extra Huang Zan painting with a folding fan in his hand and smiling all the way. And Zheng Zhihu, the fierce general brought by Zheng Zhilong, also met with the governor for the first time.

Familiar scenes, familiar mutual acting skills, familiar impassioned.

Therefore, when the governor listened to the Zheng pirate brothers' plan to sweep away the other pirate brothers, the old man was also quite excited: he finally found a candidate who could entrust Wan Jun with the heavy burden! Shengshang's ardent expectations before leaving Beijing, the old man is finally expected to achieve it now!

When this person is excited, he is easily fooled.

Lao Xiong was obviously fooled by the Zheng brothers at that time, so as soon as the old man was happy, he took out a treasure that flowed out of the palace in small amounts.

This treasure is a pocket watch. A cloisonné shell with a strong Chinese style, a transparent inner case, a Chinese character dial, and a mechanical pocket watch that keeps ticking and ticking.

The invention of pocket watches was not until the end of the 19th century, so the Zheng brothers must have never seen this thing...... According to Huang Juren, who was in charge of explaining on the side, this silver dial was made by the master craftsmen of the inner palace supervisor, and the timing was accurate and the number was scarce; Only those who are above the second rank can "flow" out of half of the palm print eunuchs.

Brother Zhilong is a person who has seen the world, so he can see the exquisiteness and extraordinariness of this object at a glance, and knows that this thing must be made by a master craftsman in Ouchi, so he hurriedly got up and thanked him.

"When the old man went out of Beijing that day, he also saw that this thing was very good, so he brought it with him." Old Xiong looked like a kind elder at the moment, and said with a smile: "Since the gadget is accurate in time, it is useless to stay in the governor's yamen, so it is better to pass it on to the younger generation." Zhilong, you will sail day and night in the future, serve the imperial court, and with this thing by your side, you can rely on more than others. ”

To be honest, when Lao Xiong finished speaking, Zheng Shuai was really a little moved at this moment. Touching the inscription "Pinghai Jingbo Mo Da" on the outer ring of the case with his fingers, although Zheng Zhilong couldn't understand the meaning of the whole sentence, just the first four words were enough to make him feel five inside.

"Zhilong should take this thing as a warning, live up to the trust of the adults, arrive in the southeast, and repay the court's kindness!" At this moment, Zheng Shuai sincerely bowed to the old bear, and he couldn't feel the evil aura emanating from the pocket watch in his hand at all.

......

In the afternoon of the same day, Zheng Zhilong left the south gate of Fuzhou and returned to his ship "Tong'an" in the midst of a large number of subordinates.

The reason why he was in such a hurry was because before leaving Fuya, the Zheng family had already reached an agreement with Xiong Wencan: early tomorrow morning, General Xiong would personally go out of the city to see off the Zheng family.

Since there is a show of love to be staged on the dock tomorrow, the Zheng family naturally has to prepare in advance: including recalling all the manpower, taking care of housekeeping, and tidying up the deck...... Be sure that when Xiong Da arrives tomorrow, he will see a mighty army, a neat army.

As for Zheng Zhilong himself, it is not to mention. He must open the city gate early tomorrow morning, and before Lao Xiong leaves the city with a large army, he must do all the work on the ship to welcome the leaders to inspect, so he will leave the city this afternoon.

With Zheng Zhilong going out of the city, Fuzhou City, which has been faintly fluctuating in the past few days, soon returned to its slow rhythm in the past. In fact, in the Middle Ages, the vast majority of mediocre people did not feel any special atmosphere, and without the assistance of smartphones, those events that were enough to affect the trend of history were difficult to make waves in ancient cities.

Xiong Qi is such a mediocre person.

After sending Zheng Zhilong away in the morning, to be honest, the old bear also had a breath of atmosphere in his back - Xiong Wencan seemed to be in a high position and majestic, but only he knew how much his family had to do with this series of choices.

And Xiong Qi, as the only cronie who knows the reason, naturally relaxed-there is no better way to reflect the meaning of the word "one loss and one loss" than the ancient personal attachment.

In the morning, Zheng Zhilong was sent away, and in the afternoon, he accompanied the old man to meet with the general of the Fubiao Battalion, and after assigning the matter of leaving the city tomorrow morning, the old man went to rest early today. As for Comrade Xiong Qi, after serving his master, he transformed himself into Uncle Xiong...... He needs to relax too!

Where to relax? Sanfu Pavilion.

Sanfu Pavilion is located at the head of the West Flower Market, which is a famous place for ecstasy in Fuzhou City. Since it is a good place to go, then Miao Ling 35, who can be regarded as a strong man, must have a fate with this place.

Theoretically speaking, if you want to have fun on weekdays, you should go to the West Gate, on the Lefang Street by the West Lake in Fuzhou to enjoy the moon and linger overnight. However, because the seventh master has an errand in his body, he often has to serve his master before dawn, so it is not possible to go outside the west gate: the city gate is not opened, and it is too late.

Therefore, Sanfu Pavilion, which is located in the city and not too far from Fuya, has now become the designated consumption place of the Seventh Master.

As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister. And Xiong Qi, the personal entourage of the feudal officials, in fact, for the lower-class people, the power is more than equal: the seemingly inconspicuous Seventh Master on weekdays, at least on the occasion of the wind and moon like Sanfu Pavilion, it is all sideways.

So when the lights were on, the seventh master was already sitting in the cool pavilion of his good friend, Sanfu Pavilion, and Shui Xiu'er.

Shui Xiu'er is 20 years old, born slim, soft and charming, and is the best years of a prostitute's life. And at this moment, her cheeks were flushed, her eyebrows were rolling, and she was staring at a few sparkling red sapphires in her hands, looking at them non-stop.

The next moment, Shui Xiu'er raised her head and looked at Xiong Qi with a smile: "Master, why have you been generous lately?" Xu is the eldest man who raised the monthly money? ”

"What a sharp-mouthed villain, not to mention the cheapness, and dare to make fun of the benefactor!" Not to mention Xiong Qi, who had already poured three or five cups of Gu Yue Mei, also had red cheeks and misty eyes at this time, seeing that he was talking, he stretched out his hand with a smile and pinched Shui Xiu'er's face.

With a "snap", the back of Xiong Ye's hand was lightly touched by his plain hand.

"You're the most unorthodox person, and people ask you something!" The beauty pretended to be annoyed at this moment, and her coquettish anger and white eyes flew together, and she looked at Xiong Laoqi in a daze.

"Hehe, my lord can't make more than 700 loads of grain and rice a year, which one is enough to eat?" Xiong Qi withdrew the back of his hand and sniffed it lightly on the tip of his nose, and then told Shui Xiu'er with a smile: "These Tianzhu gems were sent by earthen buns from Zhangzhou, and you should take them to beat a few hairpins, so as not to turn around and say that the master doesn't hurt you." ”

"From Zhangzhou? I can't complain! After hearing this word, Shui Xiu'er seemed to be much more excited: "In the past few days, the building has received a lot of Zhangzhou high-rollers, all of them are generous, and my mother is dazzled." ”

Xiong Qi laughed when he heard this, grabbed a peanut from the plate and threw it into his mouth: "Your plague-stricken mother should be happy this time, and those people will leave tomorrow." ”

"Hehehe......" Hearing this, Shui Xiu'er covered her cherry mouth and let out a string of silver bell-like laughter: "If that's the case, my mother will be looking at the door tomorrow." ”

After a man and a woman let out a burst of joyful laughter in the pavilion, Shui Xiu'er put away her laughter leisurely, as if she sighed inadvertently: "It's not easy to say that Bao's mother is not easy, she is in charge of such a big stall." Alas, those Zhangzhou seafarers may come again soon and it is not known. ”

Xiong Qi had just finished drinking a glass of wine at this time, and sneered when he heard this: "Come again?" Hmph, don't dream anymore. ”

Shui Xiu'er's eyes lit up: "Why can't you come?" ”

"Oh......" Although the seventh master drank a few glasses at this time, he still didn't drink too much, and when he said this, he stopped talking no further, but changed the topic and talked about the wind and snow.

Shui Xiu'er saw that the benefactor had changed sex, so naturally it was not good to ask any more. The next moment, the beauty raised her orchid fingers, bent her willow eyebrows, and lifted the silver wine jug on the table: "Come, wrongdoer, the slave will have another drink with you." ”

......

It didn't take long for the seventh master to arrive, only to see him dizzy, muttering gibberish, and following Shui Xiu'er into the bedroom. The maid who made the bed on the side had already taken care of the bed, so the seventh master rolled up the sheets with the beauty.

More than an hour later, under Shui Xiu'er's deliberate service, the seventh master was cloudy and rainy for several degrees, and he was already empty, tired and tired. And Shui Xiu'er, after waiting for the seventh master to fall asleep, first got up and lit a pillar of soothing incense in the room, and then hurriedly put on a red soft veil and walked out of the door.
