As soon as the conversation between Dongmen' Qing and Wang Zhi came to an end, a subordinate came to report that there was a group of people running on the shore to chase the fleet: "Li Chengtai, a subordinate of Wang Bozhu, said that it was Qing Huaxiang's people. "As soon as he heard it, he guessed that Cui Guangnan and Li Rongjiu rushed over, and hurriedly asked Wang Zhi to take them on the boat, and Wang Zhi agreed.

Soon Cui Guangnan, Li Rongjiu and others boarded the ship one after another, and they were all relieved to see the East Gate Qing, and the East Gate Qing asked when they met: "There were no casualties last night, right?" ”

Cui Guangnan said: "I only injured a few brothers. The gang fought with us for a while, and then fled, without a fight. But when we found the room where the head of the house rested, we saw the second husband lying on the ground, but we didn't see the head of the house......"

Dongmen' Qing was shocked: "Second husband, is he okay?" ”

Li Rongjiu said: "There is no danger to life, but I am afraid that I will have to raise it for a month or two." Because he was not lightly injured, we didn't bring him over. ”

Dongmen' Qing was a little relieved, and Cui Guangnan said again: "The second husband was still awake at the time, so he told us that the head of the house had jumped out of the window and left, and Li Chengtai followed." We went into the grove to search, and then followed all kinds of clues along the way, and chased here. ”

Li Rongjiu suddenly threw a guy who was tied up on the deck, and Dong 'Gate' Qing took a closer look, but it was the one from Hakata among the two guides, and said, "He ......"

Cui Guangnan said: "It's this guy who betrayed us and joined the assassins!" During the fight, he was already biased towards the other party, so we recognized and restrained him. Because of the tight time, I haven't interrogated him if he has an accomplice and who the mastermind is! ”

The east 'gate' Qingwei sank 'groan', and said in his heart: "It seems that this time it should be the Longzao Temple family who wants to take advantage of this incident, and the merchants I offended want to take revenge on me, and the two groups of people colluded together, so there was last night's disaster!" He said, "I know who the Lord is." As for the accomplices, I also have some eyebrows. ”

Cui Guangnan and the others were a little surprised: "The boss knows? ”

The East Gate Keito said: "I'll talk about this matter when I return to Hirado." Come, I'll first introduce you to the famous Wufeng Shipowner. So he took Cui Guangnan and Li Rongjiu to meet Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi's power has developed so fast in recent years! Cui Guangnan looked very in awe in front of him, but Li Rongjiu was not affected, but Dongmenqing asked him to salute, and he saluted. Wang Zhi looked in his eyes, and also comforted each other, and said to the east 'gate': "I often hear that you have a lot of capable people, but today I only saw two, and I know that the rumors are true." ”

Dongmen' Qing laughed and said, "They can afford me!" I don't have any skills myself, and it's all thanks to them that I have this name. ”

"Not really!" Li Rongjiu shouted: "The master of the ship has great ability!" If it weren't for him, I would still be fishing on the island! ”

Wang Zhifu smiled and nodded.

The fleet continued to the west, but Xu Weixue's boat turned to the east, and the east 'gate' Qing guessed that he was ordered to go to Ouchi's house as a lobbyist. It didn't take long for the main team to arrive in Hirado, and after putting down the East Gate, Wang Zhi led the crowd to Goto, and the East Gate Kei had already deduced from some of the information revealed in the words of Li Guangtou and the four elders that there would be a grand event in Goto, and Wang Zhi was most likely going to arrange this matter at the moment. However, Wang Zhi did not invite him to go with him, and he was still worried about the affairs of the Longzao Temple family, so he did not ask to follow, but he still sent Zhou Dafu to go and let him keep an eye on all the people who arrived on the five islands and everything that happened.

After he arrived in Hirado, he posted a big invitation to merchants from all walks of life, and divided them into two sessions, the first of which was to invite all Chinese merchants. Many large Chinese businessmen have never seen him so far, but everyone who received the post was happy, only the head of the Su family complained of illness, Cui Guangnan said: "This person has a ghost in his heart!" ”

The east 'gate' celebrated: "It should be." He sent someone to invite the important people of the Huang family and the Lin family, together with Yang Zhizhong and Du Guoqing, to visit the patient, and invited the Su family to the banquet again. In the end, the Su family really couldn't refuse, so they sent his son to the table.

After three rounds of drinking, when the crowd of businessmen laughed, the east 'gate' Qing suddenly cried, the head of the Huang family, Huang Pinyan asked why, the east 'gate' Qing cried: "I cried that I was young and ignorant, and as soon as I came to Pingdo, I broke into a big disaster!" ”

Lin Xu, the head of the Lin family, hurriedly asked what trouble had happened to the East 'Gate' Qing, the East 'Gate' Qing wept silently, and Lin Xu said: "We are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and when we go out at the moment, we are all our own family!" Even if something really happens, everyone will definitely help Qingguan to take care of it! Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and the Qingguan can't solve it, let's sum it up together, maybe it will be solved. ”

When all the businessmen heard this, they all thought in their hearts: "You Lin Xu, don't 'mess' represent us!" The misfortune that his two-headed koi was scared and cried was probably a big disaster! It's better to avoid this kind of thing early! Who will take care of him? But he said: "Yes, yes, what happened, Qingguan might as well say it directly." ”

Dongmen' Qing sighed: "Boy, I crossed the ocean and studied all the way, but because of the high cost of crossing the sea, I had no choice but to do some business along the way, which was regarded as subsidizing myself and barely making ends meet." Because of this, boy, I don't know a lot about the rules and taboos of the mall, and after coming to Hirado, I guess I offended someone in the mall! Now even a small life is not guaranteed! And he began to cry bitterly!

Some people at the banquet were puzzled, but others were full of discomfort, and Huang Pinyan asked again: "Why did Qingguan say such a thing?" ”

Yu Buci stood up and sighed: "This time, our son-in-law is going to Hakata to see the new store, many people here should know, right?" But our son returned in vain, do you know why? ”

There were those who knew and those who didn't, but they all said in unison: "I don't know!" ”

Yu Buti said sharply: "That's because our son was attacked on the way!" Someone wants to take my son-in-law's 'life'! ”

All the merchants were shocked when they heard this, Li Rongjiu came out from behind the screen, and put the guide from Hakata on the ground, and several people at the banquet were restless, so he pointed to the guide and said: "It is this person who secretly communicated with the gangsters and set up an ambush on the way to Hakata, if it weren't for the great life of my son, you wouldn't be able to see him now!" As he spoke, he told the origin of this guide and the beginning and end of the attack on the East Gate.

The merchants were silent, and Huang Pinyan said, "It sounds like this, this is a well-thought-out ambush!" ”

Lin Xu said: "Qingguan, we have to interrogate this person well!" Ask the mastermind behind the scenes, and then everyone will find a way to avenge Qingguan you! ”

Dongmen' Qing shook his head and said, "I don't want revenge." ”

Everyone wondered, "Why?" ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "I just want myself to be safe, earn some stable money, and support my brothers." I don't dare to think about the rest. Someone is trying to calculate me this time, and I think I'm young and ignorant! This is the inadvertent offense of people! I invite you to come today, firstly, after I arrived in Hirado, because of the water and soil, I did not meet with you in the sick pavilion, and I must 'hand' a voice with you, which is not only a banquet, but also an amend! Second, I hope to tell the people who attacked me through everyone's mouth: I won't care about this incident! I didn't interrogate this guide, and I don't want to pursue it. But I don't want a second time, and dare I say there isn't! On the spot, he ordered the guide to be released.

When everyone heard this, they all praised Qingguan for his magnanimity, which was beyond anyone's reach. Dongmen' Qing turned crying into laughter and said, "Okay, okay, for my business, I disturbed everyone's interest." Come, keep drinking, keep drinking! ”

The scene became lively again, but all the merchants were clinking glasses and 'handing heads' to see that the banquet was coming to an end, and suddenly someone came to report that the guide who had just let go was dead, and the east 'gate' Qing was shocked: "How did you die?" ”

The person reported: "The man had just turned out of the street when he suddenly disappeared, and soon after that he rushed out of some alley, and his throat was full of blood!" 'Convulsed' for a while, and died not long after. ”

The east 'gate' Qing was surprised: "This ...... What's going on! ”

The people sent by the Su family to the banquet: "This is called a lot of injustice and will kill yourself!" It must be God who avenges the celebration official! ”

The east 'gate' celebrated and said, "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself?" Well, I see. ”

Lin Xu said: "Then ...... this matter?"

"Forget it!" Dongmen' Qing said: "Since God has helped me, I have nothing to worry about!" ”

Everyone said, "Not bad, not bad!" Qingguan is generous and benevolent, and he is favored by God. ”

Huang Pinyan took the lead in toasting, and the people who came to the east 'gate' celebration did not refuse, and the participants were really happy and happy to disperse!

The next day, I invited Japanese businessmen again, but this time it was much calmer.

On the third day, Dongmen' Qingcai summoned all his subordinates, including Yang Zhizhong, Yu Buci, Anthony, four stormtroop captains, two musket captains, and three ship owners, Chen Baifu and Shen Wei, the two ship supervisors, except for Zhou Dafu, who had a task, and the main leaders of Qinghuaxiang were all present. Everyone sat down, and Dongmen' Qingcai told his own consideration of this attack and Wang Zhi's analysis of the Longzao Temple.

When everyone heard this, they all frowned, and Yang Zhizhong said, "We just want to make money and do business!" How did you expect to cause such a big trouble! I think it's better to set sail quickly, and first take refuge in the five islands - there is now the world of our Chinese, and there is nothing to fear when we go there. Wait for the north wind to come together, see if there is no heavy rain, hurry back to Daming! ”

Li Rongjiu sneered: "According to you, what is the difference between escaping from the battle?" ”

Chen Ajin exclaimed: "Not bad! How can you run away before you fight! ”

Anthony said: "Don't fight, don't fight, don't fight and kill as soon as something happens!" If we think about a way, it may not be impossible to solve it peacefully. ”

Tang Xiuji sneered: "If the Wufeng Ship Owner is right, if the family really wants to take advantage of this matter to raise troops, then even if we are willing to retreat, this battle must be fought!" Besides, how can we back down? Is it possible to 'hand' over the general owner? ”

Yang Zhizhong sighed and said, "But we are businessmen!" It's here to do business, not to fight! What's more, if you fight at the 'door' of someone's house, I'm afraid that you won't be able to please it. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake! ”

Dongmen' Qing was a little dissatisfied when he heard him say such a discouraged remark, and said: "Let's not talk about winning or losing for the time being, but we don't have to be too intimidating!" What a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake! In my opinion, it should be 'not a Raptor, but a river'! What's more, we not only crossed the river, but also crossed the sea! ”

Yu Buqi nodded and said, "What the master said is that I also think it's not a matter to just retreat like this!" Although we have made a lot of money now, we just ran away like this, and we will not have the face to come back in the future, and it is a pity that the business network we have just established here will be cut off from this time. ”

As soon as this remark came out, Cui Guangnan first agreed. Everyone also felt that they couldn't just run away, this was no longer a matter of losing face, but a matter of the essence of the 'sexuality' involving the firm's sphere of influence here! What's more, Wang Zhi has promised to help secretly, and everyone thinks: With Xu and Wang as backing, then no matter how fierce the Longzao Temple family is, Qing Huaxiang should still be able to fight with the other party!

Seeing that Wu Ping had not spoken, he asked him for his opinion, and Wu Ping said: "Just now I heard the chief owner relay Wang Wufeng's words, it seems that there is something inappropriate. "East Gate" Qing asked what was wrong, Wu Ping said: "Wang Wufeng said that Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose, if he is defeated, then what will he do?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the East Gate was silent when Qingdeng. Wang Zhi's sentence can be interpreted in many ways, and the worst case is that Wang Zhi took his head to make amends to the local snakes after the defeat of the East Gate! Although this is something that Dongmenqing is very reluctant to admit, it is what he is most worried about!

Wu Ping said: "Therefore, we still have to be cautious in this matter. The scale of this battle is too difficult to grasp, and it is not so easy to fight! ”

Tang Xiuji's mouth opened, and he was about to speak, when suddenly there was an urgent report from Chi Zhengnan outside, and the east 'gate' Qingzhi didn't dare to disturb his subordinates at this time, so he called in, but Chi Zhengnan brought a person here, his face was full of panic, unlike Qing Huaxiang's face, as soon as Chi Zhengnan introduced, everyone knew that it was a samurai from the Matsuura family, and the east 'gate' Qing smiled: "It's strange that the face is so familiar...... "Before the words were finished, the samurai had already knelt down and shouted: "The son of the east 'gate'!" Please send reinforcements to the Matsuura family! ”

The East Gate Qing was shocked: "Reinforcements? Ambulance? What's going on? ”

The samurai said: "The Ryuzoji family said that our Matsuura family colluded with the Ming Dynasty and intended to betray Kyushu, and said...... He has said a lot of bad things about my lord and the son of the East Gate, and uses these excuses to raise troops against us! Now their coalition is on the way! ”

When everyone heard this, they all sighed, and the east 'gate' was surprised: "So fast! ”

The samurai who reported the news said: "The family is secretly calling on all the wealthy families, agree on a date, and march at night!" By the time we found out, it was too late! Although we have our backs to the sea and have not been trapped for the time being, this time they are menacing, and I am afraid that our Matsuura family alone will not be able to resist it! East 'Gate' Childe! Please send reinforcements quickly! ”

Dongmen' Qing stood up and said, "Don't worry! I have the same flesh and blood as Longxin! If he has something, I've got something! You go back and tell Long Xin, just say that I caused this incident, and now he is implicated! I won't do anything about it! I'll go and order the soldiers and ships right away! Enter the city to share the hardships with Matsuura-kun! ”

The samurai was overjoyed, took the reply letter from the East Gate, and said goodbye and went back.

Dongmen' Qing said: "I didn't expect Jiajian to move so fast!" It's up to us to think about it now! People have already come to the 'door'! This battle has no turn! ”
