So as soon as the case was announced, the citizens of Holo City were deceived, and many people were indignant, and said angrily that the Australians were here with bad intentions! Sure enough, as the family members of the Prime Minister's Mansion said, the Australians are the great enemies of my Sulu country!

Then, some Sulu citizens suddenly appeared among the shops in Porto Holo, shouting slogans such as "Get rid of the national thieves" and "Clearing the side of His Majesty the King", brandishing sticks and smashing several shops that had been doing business with Australians for a while, and injuring several compradors.

However, before they could continue to smash the next few houses, these people encountered a group of guards with knives from His Majesty the King, and they ruthlessly slashed at this group of people, and more than a dozen people fell in a pool of blood on the spot.

As a result, the indignant scholars and scholars took to the streets again, ran to the palace and the prime minister's mansion to kneel down and petition, and returned thousands of people's letters, shouting slogans such as punishing the national thieves at home and retreating from Australia.

However, this time, they were served by the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion with big sticks, and a group of family members rushed out of the gate, picked up the sticks, and beat a group of scholars kneeling outside the gate to scream like pigs.

After eating this stick, the group of small nobles and scholars who were beaten and stunned immediately wilted, but it only stopped on the street for a day or two, and then there were moths, and a few days later, rumors spread in the streets, saying that Zheng Fu, who was now transformed into Lord Habersuri, was actually the internal response of Australians!

Some people also said conclusively that Zheng Fuli went to Australia and sent his daughters to the devil's ship as hostages, and it was also widely rumored......

So His Majesty the King couldn't sit still, he called Zheng Fu to the court to confront the whistleblower, Zheng Fu naturally resolutely denied these rumors, and finally gave the whistleblower the bottom line: that is an old slave in the family of a relative of the Prime Minister, and he is also a comprador who specializes in buying wood for Australians in Holo Harbor, this old slave not only does business with Australians, but also deceives his superiors and subordinates, falsely quotes, and embezzles money for doing business with Australians!

Then, after a period of awkward silence, both His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister immediately said that what they were talking about was a matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, and that the embezzlement of silver and silver cited by Zheng Fu was an error in the accounts, not a real corruption.

Of course, the whistleblower said that Master Zheng had a foreign connection, which was also a thing, but the whistleblower out of justice, although he wronged Zheng Fu a little, but you, Zheng Fu, are now a Lord Habersuri, so there should be a large number of adults, so don't be harsh on your subordinates, so this public case finally ended up like this, and the page was turned in a daze......

However, Zhu Beiguo knew that it was a real thing for Zheng Fu to send one of his two sons and three daughters to the Pride number, because he was the person concerned!

On a dark and windy night in a certain month, Zhu Beiguo at that time was really embarrassed to delay under Zheng Fu's sincere eyes, so he just recognized Zheng Fu's son and daughter as righteous sons and daughters in public.

According to Li Sanduo's somewhat sour statement, Dr. Zhu is terrible now, this brother doesn't know whether he is gone this year, he has a wife and children at home, and now he has become the godfather of other people's girls......

Obviously, for Zheng Fu, this is by no means a hostage, but a secret arrangement for his own children by his father.

Zhu Beiguo knew that Zheng Fu had two sons and three daughters, born to the lost original partner and two Sulu slave girls, Zheng Fu kept the eldest son and two second daughters by his side, and the twelve-year-old second son and thirteen-year-old eldest daughter would go to Australia with the Pride to study in Zhuyuan and Sunflower Public School respectively.

At the beginning, Zheng Fu saw the 31 orphans from Macau on the Pride, and only made this decision after learning the ins and outs of the children.

However, in fact, this decision was not made in a hurry, and what prompted Zheng Fu to take the risk of taking this step was another letter from afar.

Just a few days before the Pride arrived at Holo Harbor, a seagoing ship that had come to Holo Harbor to do business brought Zheng Fu a letter from Macau, written by his old acquaintance ---- Xue Laixiang.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Zheng Fu was already Xue Laixiang's secret stake in Huoluogang, not long after the two met.

In this letter, Xue Laixiang told Zheng Fu that although he missed the meeting with the Australian benefactor in Macao, he had a lot of contacts with the Chinese maritime merchants in Macao, so he learned about what the Australians were doing in Macao, and at the same time he also accepted the commission of the Ao family and the Zhong family in Macao to purchase the goods needed by the Australians for the two families in the Jinxia area of Chaoshan and southern Fujian.

Because this is the foundation of your Zheng Fu's foothold in the country of Sulu, you must understand that you can now survive in the battle between the king and the prime minister of the country of Sulu because your backer, His Majesty the King, needs you to deal with the Australians, but because of this, your real backer is not the King of Sulu, but the Australians!

Therefore, you should not take the king's so-called trust lightly, let alone put your entire wealth and life on the line......

This is one of the reasons why Zheng Fu entrusted his second son and eldest daughter to Zhu Beiguo.

Zheng Fu knew that the turmoil he experienced in the court a while ago was just a prelude to a series of fierce palace fights, and more thrilling things must be yet to come, and now His Majesty the King protected him because he needed to use his chess piece.

Sure enough, on the evening of the third day when the "Great Devil's Ship" of the Australians arrived outside the port of Jolo, the young King of Unduhara, suddenly summoned him and two other low-ranking courtiers......

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night that day, Zhu Beiguo received a report from Peng Qiang, who was patrolling on the deck, that Zheng Fu took two people to ask for a meeting, but the three of them behaved secretively and did not want to be high-profile, and even lowered their posture and whispered when they requested to board the ship.

Peng Qiang said that the three of them, dressed in black clothes with their heads covered at night, seemed to be very afraid of being discovered by others, although there would be no one on the dock at this time, especially next to the "devil's ship" of the Australians. So he thought it was a little strange and didn't put the three on deck right away.

Zhu Beiguo was also puzzled after listening to Peng Qiang's report, usually this time is the time of curfew in Huoluo City, and Zheng Fu did not come with Haluban, which is very strange.

So Zhu Beiguo hurriedly put down the diary and asked Peng Qiang to inform Li Sanduo and Hu Xiaolin, who was not on duty, and he came to the front deck after a simple dress.

Sure enough, Zheng Fu was standing motionless on the pier trestle in black, and behind him, there were two black shadows in the same outfit.

At this time, Zhu Beiguo guessed in his heart that Zheng Fu's visit to the other party must have something important, and it was the kind of confidential matter that could not see the light.

So Zhu Beiguo didn't greet the other party loudly as usual, nor did he turn on the lights on the ship, but silently and gently put down the board and let the three people over.

Soon, Zhu Beiguo took the three people who were also silent into the crew dining room of the Pride, which was relatively spacious and the electric lights were also on, which was a suitable place for guests.

Zheng Fu and the three of them didn't say anything after they came in, but respectfully bowed to Li Sanduo and Zhu Beiguo, Peng Qiang and Hu Xiaolin, who were seated, and then took off the black robe of the night walk, revealing the indigo official uniform and green bandana of the Sulu Kingdom on their bodies.

Li Penghu and the three of them were full of vigilance at this time, one by one with their hands on their waists, and in the holster was a little bit 38 Colt, and the brothers were especially staring at the two young men behind Zheng Fu.
