Chen Kai was summoned, and had a rough conversation with Zheng Chenggong about the things that had already been mentioned in the admonition, and then without waiting any longer, he hurriedly took Cai Qiao and those guards and soldiers to board the long-distance sea ship.

Before Zheng Chenggong came back, Chen Kai had been in the Zhongzuo Institute for some time. Through his contacts with Hong Xu, Lu Ruoteng, Shen Yanqi, Ruan Minxi and others, as well as Lin Dezhong's report, I have a comprehensive understanding of what has happened recently in the center-left. In fact, many of these things he had received when he was in South Australia, but because he didn't do it deliberately, so the news was delayed, and the details were unknown, but now he has finally completed all of them.

Boarding the ship, Chen Kai came in a low-key manner and left in a low-key manner. However, a few days after Chen Kai left, Zheng Chenggong first appointed Zhongzhen Bo Hong Xu to manage the local affairs of the Zhongzuo Institute and Feng Chengshi to replace Chen Kai as the head of the Ordnance Bureau.

What is the current situation of the imperial court, it is not known on the side of the Zhongzuo Institute, not even the Zhongzuo Institute in Fujian, but even Chaozhou. However, Zheng Chenggong struggled for nearly a month, and finally chose to let go, but many people fell through their glasses. What's more, he has even begun to suspect that Chen Kai's so-called entry into the court this time is actually just a scam - when the ship leaves the Zhongzuo Institute, or even leaves the coast of Chaozhou, the guards sent by Zheng Chenggong can directly invite Chen Kai to eat a meal of wonton noodles, and then throw the body into the sea.

"This kind of statement, it is very likely, if I am a national surname, I will never easily let that guy go to work for others. Not to mention anything else, Chen Kai will take Lin Dezhong or Lin Dexiao with him every time he travels, and the Lin family brothers are his diehards, so he can rest assured. But this time, the national surname was still to let Lin Dezhong lead the patrol camp, let Lin Dexiao guard the Ordnance Bureau, but instead sent all the cronies and soldiers from Cai Qiao to accompany him, not to hide people's eyes. ”

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if he's dead or alive. It's better to die, and it's far away in Guangxi if you don't die, the marriage can be said to be yellow, and it's difficult to meddle in the affairs of the national surname. ”

The Shi brothers' whispers were followed by a burst of laughter. In their opinion, Zheng Chenggong and his people are nothing more than being fierce and inward-looking, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard - Chen Kai killed Zheng Zhiguan, he made a show, and he pressed his own family; Shi Lang bullied Huang Ting and killed Zeng De without permission, and Zheng Chenggong only dared to "not do anything hurtful"; Now that Chen Kai intends to break away from the Zheng group, Zheng Chenggong did not dare to be executed publicly, so he started a river piracy business. This is not only a string of markets, but more importantly, this has already shown that just like Emperor Chongzhen back then, Zheng Chenggong only dared to touch relatives and civil officials, and he did not dare to do anything to the generals who held military power.

Since then, the Shi brothers have also become increasingly arrogant, bullying generals and colonels at every turn, and running rampant in the center and left. However, Zheng Chenggong was deaf and blind in this regard, and he only continued to deploy the next round of warfare, and did not have any treatment for them.

On May 20, Zheng Chenggong's troops had already agreed to enter Haicheng, but this time it was not Zhibo County, but went to a place called Cizao, and waited for the Qing army to throw themselves into the net.

At nightfall, Zheng Chenggong held a military meeting on the ship to further refine the specific details of the battle plan. Shi Xian, as the chief military officer of the aid to Zuozhen and the general of this battle, was also on the list. When the hour came, Shi Xian boarded Zheng Chenggong's ship, entered the cabin, but was immediately disarmed and secretly imprisoned.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Ting, who was not a general in this battle, received an order from Zheng Chenggong to arrest Shi Lang. Huang Ting was humiliated by Shi Lang directly into the camp some time ago, and when he received the order, he led the troops to the Shi family's mansion.

The right vanguard town surrounded the Shi family's mansion, but Huang Ting did not persuade him to surrender, and directly launched an attack, easily crashing into the gate. Immediately, the army rushed in and quickly locked up Shi Lang and all the people of the Shi family, including his father Shi Daxuan.

The two Ming soldiers twisted Shi Lang's arm and forced him to his knees. Huang Ting sat on the Taishi chair in front of him with such a loud voice, and then took the scabbard and rudely picked up Shi Lang's chin, looking at the dazed, angry and a series of emotions intertwined, and even distorted the familiar face, and then snorted coldly: "Venerable Marquis, the way of heaven is good, now it's your turn." ”

The words fell, and the word "smash" came out, and a personal soldier who knew the master's heart lifted a porcelain bottle on the case and smashed it on the floor in a daze.

With a "bang", the porcelain bottle shattered to the ground, just like the Shi family's status and dignity in the Zheng Group. However, this was only the first sound, and when this crisp sound came to the ears, it was as if a horn sounded, and the movement of smashing tables and stools resounded throughout the mansion.

Shi Lang couldn't care about any anger at the moment, everything in front of him, Huang Ting's temperament, all showed that he was actually just falling into the trap of Zheng Chenggong's weakness. Whether it is the sentence "You can't do hurtful things", or the recent pretending to be deaf and dumb, or even the news of Chen Kai's entry into the court is nothing more than a part of this trap, in order to let him and his younger brother Shi Xian continue to make trouble on this island recklessly and boldly. And Huang Ting at this moment is exactly what he has offended many times before, and he is also the best person to carry out this task.

Heaven is good, just like the last time he smashed Huang Ting's big tent, Huang Ting smashed the house in front of Shi Lang and even the entire Shi family, and then staked them all back. Zheng Chenggong also wanted to send troops to fight, so he handed over the Shi family and others to the custody of Zhongding Bolin Xishan, and Lin Xishan handed Shi Lang over to his deputy general Wu Fang to take care of.

After capturing the Shi brothers, Zheng Chenggong did not rush to trial, sentence and punish them, but sent troops to Haicheng County according to the original plan. The only difference from the original plan is that the chief military officer of Zuo Town was changed from Shi Xian to Lin Sheng, the former deputy general of the Central Association of Rongqi Town, and that's it.

The army went on the march, and a few days later the good news came. In the middle of the night, a person went to Wu Fang's ship with an official document, claiming that he had been ordered by Zheng Chenggong to escort Shi Lang to Zheng Chenggong's ship for trial.

The good news had already reached Louchuan Town, Wu Fang did not doubt him, and after reading the official document hastily, he took someone to escort Shi Lang out of the ship. Unexpectedly, when they reached a remote place halfway through, someone suddenly plotted and knocked Wu Fang and his subordinates unconscious, and then walked away.

Shi Lang didn't know what was going on, whether Zheng Chenggong was going to execute him in private, or Huang Ting and other military generals he had offended wanted to use this to announce his personal vendetta, or whether Chen Kai's departure was fake, and he was waiting for the snipe and clam to compete for the fisherman's profit. Nothing is known, and these people are afraid that he will make a fuss, so they even shut their mouths. It wasn't until the group hurriedly arrived at a mansion that Shi Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the home of Su Mao, the general of his cronies, and when someone came here, he told the story. According to them, Zheng Chenggong acted secretly, and the place where he was detained this time was learned from Su Mao, who was recruited, and his uncle Shi Fu, who sent someone to inform him overnight. Shi Fu was not within the scope of arrest, so he teamed up with Su Mao to make Wu Fang careless with good news and official documents, and then kidnapped him.

The next day, the news of Shi Lang's disappearance spread, and Lin Xishan began to check everywhere. Su Mao went out with the army, according to common sense, it would not be very likely that the Su family would hide his people, and the ships on Xiamen Island were weaving back and forth, and it was more likely that he had fled with the ship, so his attention to this place was divided a lot.

In this way, he hid in Su's house for a day and a night, and at night the next day, Shi Fu prepared a ship that used to trade by sea on weekdays, and Shi Lang quietly boarded the ship from the private port and left Xiamen Island. The sea boat went all the way north and soon arrived at the wharf of Anping Town.

According to the notification of Shi Fu's cronies before boarding the ship, Shi Lang's father Shi Daxuan, younger brother Shi Xian and other relatives are still in detention and cannot be rescued for the time being. Shi Fu meant to let Shi Lang go to Anping Town, and he had already sent someone to talk to Zheng Zhibao, hoping that Zheng Zhibao could be a peacemaker between Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang. Not only is the relationship between Shi Fu and Zheng Zhibao irreversible, but also in Shi Fu's words, Chen Kai's entry into the dynasty is likely to be fake, and the children of the Zheng family now see Chen Kai as a thorn in the flesh, and it is also a win-win good thing for the two sides to join forces.

Walking in the night at the end of May, the cicadas are singing, and the moon is like a Wu hook. Shi Fu is very optimistic about the success rate of peace, but Shi Lang is not. Compared with his optimistic uncle, Shi Lang had already figured out Zheng Chenggong's scheming and the previous few times of tolerance. The outbreak is bound to be presented in a fierce way, just like Huang Ting that day, isn't that exactly the case?

"This time, even if it is said that peace is made, that guy will not believe us again. In this case, it is better to surrender the Qing army, and then kill it back, and give the surname Zheng, and the one surnamed Chen to look good! ”

Having said that, Shi Lang didn't dare to rush over. It is said that he was originally a Ming army, then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and then followed Li Chengdong anyway, and then he was driven away by Li Chengdong and joined Zheng Chenggong's banner. Zheng Chenggong is a lifesaver for him, and now he is destroying the internal unity in Zheng Chenggong's army, and he will surrender to the Qing Dynasty if he can't get mixed up, but I am afraid that the Qing army may not be able to believe him anymore.

Repeated villains, probably that's how it is. Shi Lang would not be so self-deprecating, but the problem still exists, and he still needs to try to contact the Qing army first, and make sure that the Qing army is willing to accept him and can give him military power to serve in the past.

However, just as he was pondering this, Shi Fu's personal soldiers who led the team suddenly stopped. After being stunned for a moment, Shi Lang also noticed that under the moonlight, on the side of Anping Bridge in the distance, there was a young man dressed as a Confucian who was wandering there, as if he was waiting for someone.

Anping Bridge is not far from Anping Town, and I think this scholar should be waiting for someone from the Zheng family. If there are some charming associations, there are also some willow tops on the moon, and people are about the artistic conception after dusk.

They were acting in secret, and they couldn't leave a living mouth, especially if they couldn't expose their deeds before Zheng Zhibao said and succeeded, and they were arrested by Zheng Chenggong. However, before they stepped forward to make a move, the scholar seemed to have a feeling for the moon, and actually shook his head and recited the poem.

"In the past, my old friend was like a dick, but now the grave is full of green grass;

The widow was a drunkard at the head of the bed, and the widow had an empty stomach and rotten clothes.

No one asked about the old and sick parents, and the corpses were poured into the side of the road to taste the maggots;

The king should be reluctant to learn from the past, and the prodigal son will look back and do it himself. ”

"I would like to present this poem to my dearest General Shi Langshi!"
