The next morning, the first person to come to the "other courtyard" was a donkey cart escorted by Song Jia.

The house where the envoys now live was formerly a merchant's annex. After being bought by Tang Qi, the house was idle there, and there was no signboard of the Tang Mansion, and the interior has always been codenamed "Courtyard".

Four donkey carts, escorted by Song Jia and sailors, brought the cargo aboard the Ryan.

The cargo was unloaded from the Ryan to the sampan in the early morning, and then the sampan circled the moat half a circle and entered the city through the Jinglou Gate in the southeast corner of Fuzhou.

The Jinglou Gate was called the shipyard gate before Wanli, and the Minjiang Shipyard was outside the door. There are not only government-run shipyards here, but also large and small private shipyards gathered here. Timber is piled up, craftsmen gather, and a large number of lucky ships are built from here every year.

The "other courtyard" is not far from the gate of the well building. After the sampan entered the city, it unloaded directly at the Lion Bridge near the Zhongyi Temple, and then hired a few donkey carts, and the goods were delivered to the courtyard.

After the four donkey carts were unloaded, they had to make a second trip non-stop - the Ryan came to Fuzhou this time, and the ship was loaded with a large number of goods and gifts, which were ready to give gifts to the officials of all sizes in Fuzhou.

......

Dozens of people were busy until dinner, and then the goods that came one after another were sorted and placed, and then it didn't take long for the guests to come.

When it was still dark, two small sedan chairs entered the door of the other courtyard one after the other.

When the first sedan chair entered the door, there were several figures around him, and there were people on the way to monitor the scene, and the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

The person in the sedan chair is Xue Haiyuan: the person in charge of the semi-public office in Fuzhou City.

The office stationed in Fuzhou is currently under pressure from all sides. As a semi-public agent of the sea owner, at least in the eyes of others, Xue Haiyuan and Xiong Dao, who is far away in Hangzhou, are all the way.

The days of obscurity are over. As the news of the occupation of the crossing forces gradually spread, there was another group of bandits who could defeat the Dutch on the surface of Fujian and Guangdong, and this news has now been known by most people who eat sea food.

There are many offices of sea owners in Fuzhou City, and there is suddenly a newcomer in the circle, so naturally some people will come to try it, some of them will come to contact them, and some of them will inquire from the side.

And the Fuzhou office, which was faintly at odds with Lao Zheng, soon felt the pressure. Especially at the moment, Zheng Zhilong is powerful and arrogant, and there are a lot of people in Fuzhou City who want to do it, so Xue Haiyuan has to be careful when he goes out now, and it is necessary to make a detour and break off, otherwise there will be problems with safety and tracking.

After coming to the courtyard, Xue Haiyuan and Zhang Dongdong had a brief meeting, and then everyone had a meal while waiting for Comrade "Emeifeng" to enter the door.

Today's gathering is the most well-staffed and the last time for the crossing forces in Fuzhou City before their public appearance, especially Xue Haiyuan himself.

Theoretically, Xue Haiyuan should be in charge of the reception activities of the mission. However, because Xiong Wencan and the crossing forces did not want to let the outside world know about the existence of the ambassador before the successful appeasement, the public figure Xue Haiyuan was not suitable to appear.

In the future, communication between the parties will be carried out through the car radio, and high-risk activities such as meeting will not be carried out again.

......

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Without waiting for the dishes to be served, Comrade Emeifeng's sedan chair arrived at the door.

Naturally, Comrade Emeifeng did not come alone.

A small group of personal soldiers wearing the governor's yamen uniform, and a henchman of the boss Xiong follows Xiong Qi, which is the basic configuration.

When Song Jia heard the news, he hurriedly walked out of the door. After a while, Huang Pinghuang, who was holding a folding fan and wearing a Songjiang muslin cloth, was welcomed into the main room where everyone was eating.

And the Fu Ya soldiers who came with him, at this time, were naturally invited into the side room, and began to enjoy the good banquet brought by the nearby restaurant with a smile, and after eating, each deputy master could also receive five taels of silver for his hard work.

As for Xiong Qi, a cronie who can reveal Xiong Wencan's dynamics at any time, at such a critical moment, the traversal will naturally not be stingy with silver. So after Xiong Qi entered the door, someone who looked like a housekeeper immediately invited Xiong Ye into the wing room alone, and in addition to setting up wine and dishes, Xiong Qi also got a 20-tael gold bill.

With a smile, he put the gold ingot into his sleeve, except for Huang Ping, Xiong Qi, the only one in this team who knew the origin of the crossing crowd, only used one sentence to repay the gold ingot: "A few days ago, Zheng Yiguan captured the Zhongzuo Institute, and my lord was angry in private, alas, the world is difficult." ”

......

Xiong Qi's hint was soon passed on to the table of the traversal in the main house.

And Huang Juren, who was being teased by everyone, knocked on the fan in his hand after listening to it, nodded and said: "Xiong Qi's news is consistent with the results of my observation, Lao Xiong was indeed not in a good mood for the past two days. ”

"In this case, you still have to focus on talking to Lao Xiong about Zheng Zhilong's harm tomorrow, and then compare us with each other." When Song Jia heard this, he turned his head and said to Zhang Dongdong: "If there is no comparison, there is no harm." ”

"Understood." Zhang Dongdong, who was immersed in eating fish, nodded and said that he had received it.

"In addition, Lao Xiong is more taboo about the four words of strong soldiers and strong horses, and you should pay attention when you speak." Huang Juren added at this time.

"Understood." Zhang Dongdong finally finished eating the fish at this time: "Lao Xiong was forced by Zheng Zhilong to come to Fujian to be the governor of Zhao'an, although in history he pinched his nose and appeased Lao Zheng, but this does not mean that he is comfortable in his heart, at least in the early stage of Zhao'an, he is this mentality." ”

Zhang Dongdong paused, and continued in the language of the organization: "Now that Lao Xiong has more choices for us, he can't listen to the words with hidden threats like strong soldiers and strong horses, which is reasonable. ”

"Zheng Zhilong's group, if there is still a set of stinky shelves in history in front of Xiong Wencan, hehe, the old bear who is now used to being praised by us is a tsundere person, Zheng Zhilong, let's rest."

"Well, yes, yes, Lao Zhang has a very accurate grasp of Xiong Wencan's mentality, and the word tsundere is used well!" Now Huang Juren, who has been mixed with Xiong Dafujun's side as a praise painting, praised it at this time.

"Hehe, speaking of tsundere, you Lao Huang is an expert! Do you know how many people said that after watching your tsundere video, they were severely injured physically and mentally, and the content caused serious discomfort? ”

"Hahaha......" The crowd began to laugh again.

And Master Huang was a little embarrassed at this time: "It's over, it's over, my brother is not done making fun of people!" ”

The dinner ended quickly.

And Huang Zanhua, who had the task of "meeting Cao Chuan secretly and discussing the meeting matters", had already discussed the details of the meeting between Zhang Dongdong and Xiong Wencan tomorrow with his colleagues at this time. Seeing that the time had reached half past eight in the evening, Huang Ping decided to go back to the yamen.

Theoretically speaking, after crossing the crowd to Fuzhou, he should have gone to the governor's yamen to post and ask for directions. However, the current situation is special, so Xiong Wencan specially sent Huang Ping, an inconspicuous Zanhua who has a detailed study of the situation in Fujian and Guangdong, to contact the envoys after dark.

Of course, in this way, Huang Ping just had the opportunity to exchange information with his comrades, which can be regarded as a good thing.

After deciding to meet with Lao Xiong tomorrow night, Master Huang and the pro-soldiers who had eaten and drunk enough officially took their leave. Master Huang's team didn't have any curfew and night curfew in their eyes, and after saying goodbye, they lit the lantern of the governor's yamen and went on a rampage.

The difference from when he came was that there was an extra donkey cart in the queue where Master Huang went back.

......

Time: 1 hour after Huang Ping left the courtyard. Coordinates: Fujian Governor's Yamen, back house, small study.

In the past, the study room that needed to light red candles was now without the smell of oil smoke, but the white light was blazing. A brass antique solar horse lamp is emitting a bright, even a little dazzling white light on the desk...... The characters in the small study are exposed at this moment.

Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, was sitting at the desk, carefully looking at a gift list in his hand. The light emitted by the solar lamp at this moment made the wrinkles on the old bear's face clearly visible, and even the slightly trembling beard on the old man's face fell on the eyes of Huang Ping, who was sitting on the side with a smile.

After a while, Xiong Wencan raised his head, put the gift list on the table, and then sighed lightly: "Old and dizzy people, it is effortless to look at this gift list, this pure yang lamp is really a treasure, this generation should have a heart." ”

Huang Ping smiled slightly at this time: "The proprietor is really discerning. Listening to what Cao Chuan said, this pure yang glaze is not easy to obtain, it is the land of Taixi, and it has not been able to produce a piece for ten years. ”

Hearing this, Xiong Wencan nodded, then stroked his long beard under his chin, and opened his mouth to ask, "Mr. saw that Cao Chuan today, can you get anything?" ”

Huang Ping knew that the critical moment had arrived, so he said: "I look at Cao Chuan, this person, his words are sincere, and he is eager to find a place to settle down under the rule of the owner, not like the hypocrite." ”

"Hmm." Xiong Wencan thought for a while and continued to ask, "What about the comparison between the Cao family and the Zheng family?" ”

Huang Ping smiled: "The Cao family is weak, the Zheng family is strong, one is a businessman, and the other is a robber!" ”

"In what you see, who should be appeased?"

"The proprietor, it is better to make the merit than to make it too much, and it is better to make the strong than to make it weak!"

......

On June 1, 1628, in the early morning of the third day of the arrival of the envoy in Fuzhou.

Zhang Dongdong was wandering around the courtyard.

Late last night, Huang Ping of the Governor's Yamen, the embassy of the other courtyard, Song Jia's Hangzhou Station headquarters, and Xue Haiyuan's office, these four locations have already made calls through the car radio.

So Zhang Dongdong is extremely calm now: he is full of confidence in the interview of the main exam Xiong tonight.

Zheng Zhilong, a contestant, has the first written test score in history. So despite the fact that this product is very dragging and the interview results are average, the examiner Xiong still pinched his nose and admitted him in history.

Everything is different now. The traversal has already opened up the joints, and the main examiner Xiong is already full of Moutai, so what about Zheng Zhilong's first place in the written exam? He will soon know what it means to be a hero who is sad to pass the interview.
