Hearing Zhang Changyi say that he wanted to see that prince Wang, everyone was taken aback, and Yang Zhizhong said: "Brother! I also know that you have always been kind, but we are going back after we have walked this island, so why bother with it? ”

Zhang Changyi said: "To Brother Zhongxian, you and I are both people who have been exiled overseas, and we know the pain very well!" If it weren't for the rescue of our father-in-law, how would you and I be where we are today? Imagine how you would feel if you were left here, and someone could raise their hand to save you without helping! Although we are in business, we have finally read the book for two days, and the teachings of the saints should not be forgotten. What's more, after listening to what Yue'e said, I think that most of this prince is also a scholar, and he is very down-and-out, and it is even more pitiful, if we only need to free up a space to save them from ascending to heaven, it is reasonable and reasonable, and we should not turn a blind eye. But whether this group of people are good people or traitors, Yue'e is young, and I'm afraid I can't see it really, so I want to see him in person. ”

Everyone was convinced that he was old and virtuous, and when he said this, most of them were silent, but Zhang Yixing still said: "Uncle, our business is to make money, why do you care so much about him?" ”

Zhang Changyi reprimanded when he heard this: "Are you talking about human words!" If they are villains, we must guard against them! But if they are good people, as long as they can do it, how can they not help? Blindly mercenary, what is the difference between you and those uncivilized barbarians! ”

Zhang Yixing didn't dare to say any more, Zhang Yisheng didn't dare to speak, Yang Zhizhong said: "Good things can be done, but you must also be careful." ”

"This is natural," Zhang Changyi said, "I have already made arrangements." ”

When the sky was bright, he sent someone to write a book to Dongmen Qing. Zhang Changyi has two capable subordinates, one is called Yu Buyi, and the other is called He Wuxing, both of whom are Zhang Changyi's people who fished up from the waves, Yu Buyi is more than 30 years old, knows 13 kinds of words, and is now the financial deputy of the Guangchangping, in charge of the merchant team, He Wuxing is close to standing, is the sentry of the Guangchangping, and is mainly armed on the ship.

At this time, Yu Buqi had been sent out to find the tribe on the island, He Wuxing was in charge of guarding the ship, and when he heard that Zhang Changyi was going to write the book by himself, he never doubted the master's decision, but said: "They seemed to be running in circles last night, and they don't know where to go." ”

Zhang Changyi said: "I guess their nest must not be far from here, otherwise they wouldn't have found out as soon as we docked the boat." Didn't you find some wood around here yesterday? I guess that's something they've left over from their time here. When he came to the deck and looked around, he pointed to the high ground and said, "You go up there and have a look." Well, there seems to be a cave there, and if there is no one on the high ground, you can send someone to the cave to see it. Be careful, this gang is very wary. ”

Zhang Changyi went for more than an hour, and then sent someone back to say: "There are indeed many footprints, wood, and stones on the high ground, and there is blood on some of the stones, as if there was a war there." We went into the cave and found some crude supplies, a row of planks, and a few javelins. He Guanshao said that the people inside may not have been gone for long. He was still guarding on the high ground, letting the little ones come first. ”

Zhang Changyi thought for a while and said, "The leader of this group of people is quite insightful, and he actually expected that I would find them. Then he wrote a letter and said to the sailor, "Let the intrepid stick to the conspicuous place on the high ground and go up and downhill, and then come back." ”

The sailor hurried away, bringing the letter and instructions to He Wudaunt, and a sailor next to him said, "They are all gone, where will they come again?" I see this letter as vain. ”

He Wuxing said: "What do you know about the owner's thoughts!" He still did as Zhang Changyi intended. Soon after they left, two people came out from behind the trees, one was Chen Baifu, the other was Shui Shrimp Cai, Chen Baifu saw that He Wuxing waited far away before he approached the letter and took it, Shui Shrimp Cai said: "I'll go to the cave to have a look." ”

"No need." Chen Baifu said: "It is inconvenient to go up and down the cave, and there is only one road, in case they suddenly turn back, you are afraid that you will be trapped there." He took him back to meet Dongmen Qing and others, and showed the letter left by He Wuxing.

Dongmen Qing opened it and looked at it with Chen Baifu and Shen Wei, and Kavala asked, "What do you say?" ”

Shen Wei said: "This letter is signed by Zhang Changyi, who claims to be the owner of the Guangchangping firm and the owner of the Guangchangping, and he invited Wang Gongzi to the ship for a while, but Wang Gongzi can only go alone. ”

"How's that going to work!" Shuiyu Cai said: "Maybe it's a trap!" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Dafu said: "If they are really sincere, why should they only name Wang Gongzi to go alone?" ”

Chen Baifu said: "But it is also possible that the woman helped us say good things, so they want to meet Wang Gongzi." This may be an opportunity. ”

Everyone talked about it, and finally Shen Wei said to Dongmen Qing: "Prince Wang, he invited you, you can get an idea or not." ”

Dongmen Qing pondered for a moment, then looked at the words of this letter, and thought: "This character is written steadily and calmly, not frivolously, well, it looks like it was written by an elderly reader." He also thought: "If we miss this opportunity, and then we have to build our own ships, and we can only build small boats that sail near the sea, and if we want to go back to the Ming Dynasty, we still have to rely on other big ships, or we have to talk to others, and the situation may not be better than now." Thinking of this, he made up his mind and made a gesture to indicate that he was going.

The bullfrog said, "Then we'll send you to the vicinity of that little bay." ”

Dongmen Qing shook his head and signaled them not to show up, lest the other party have bad intentions and be caught in the net.

Shui Shrimp Cai said again: "In that case, Prince Wang, you can bring two more knives." ”

Carava brought the stock of his gun over and said, "Bring my gun with you!" ”

Dongmen Qing looked at the knife in Shui Shrimp Cai's hand and the gun in Kavala's hand, smiled and shook his head, but instead took out his knife and handed it over to Chen Baifu. Chen Baifu was stunned, and Zhou Dafu said: "Yes, Wang Gongzi went to the meeting alone, what is the use of bringing a knife and a gun?" It's better not to bring it to show sincerity. Dongmen Qing glanced at him, and saw Zhou Dafu smile in return, thinking that this guy's brain is actually relatively lively, no wonder he can get the trust of the Franco.

At that moment, Dongmen Qing went alone, Shen Wei, Chen Baifu and others sent him to the edge of Guangchang Pingzhong's field of vision, watching him appear, being searched by Guangchangping's guards, and taking in, the nine people were all worried, Zhou Dafu said: "I don't know what will happen to Wang Gongzi?" ”

Chen Baifu sighed: "Wang Gongzi is in Bo this time! If he falls, there's nothing we can do. ”

Everyone felt reasonable, each had some sighs, and they all said: "I hope that the prince will be auspicious." ”

Over there, Dongmen Qing was taken on the big ship, and Zhang Changyi met him on the deck. There were three tables on the deck, one from the inside out, with Zhang Changyi sitting, one opposite Zhang Changyi, empty, and one on the side, but Yang Zhizhong was sitting, and the other directors were waiting on both sides.

After Dongmen Qing came up, Zhang Changyi got up to greet him, and He Wuxing said to Dongmen Qing: "This is the owner of our main ship Guangchangping, surnamed Zhang, and he is Shangchangxia Yi." This is the owner of our deputy ship Fu Zhilong, surnamed Yang, who is loyal to his superiors and subordinates. The host and guest bowed and sat down in turn.

Zhang Changyi and Dongmenqing each placed a very flat stone on the table, and there was a brush and water on the side of the stone. "This stone is an uncarved good inkstone billet, the pen has left marks, a moment to dry, no need to wipe.

Dongmen Qing recognized his handwriting, and wondered in his heart: "Could it be that he is also a dumb person?" But I don't know that Zhang Changyi's move has another deep meaning.

Zhang Changyi asked again with a pen: "Where is the hometown of your guest?" ”

Dongmen Qing was going to answer "Zhangzhou, Fujian", but seeing his pomp and circumstance, most of his knowledge was extraordinary, and then he thought about the name of the ship, Fu Zhilong, and the ship was a Fujian ship, the owner was afraid that he was a Fujianese, and if he lied and was exposed, he would make a mistake, not to mention that he was far away in Nanyang at the moment, and he was not the sphere of influence of Dongmen Ba and Hong Dizhen, so he replied: "Wang Qing, who was born in the late life, is a native of Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian." ”

Next to him, Yang Zhizhong sighed and said: "Yang is a native of Jianzhou, but he has stayed in Quanzhou for ten years, and he is also a fellow villager." There are many local figures in Quanzhou, and Yang knows a lot, and he may know the elders in Wang Gongzi's mansion. ”

Dongmen Qing knew that he wanted to inquire about his origins, shook his head and sighed lightly, and wrote: "Although the ancestors have shade, the boy is living abroad, and he is insulting to his family, so he doesn't want to mention it again." ”

Yang Zhizhong also sighed and said: "I also had such a career at the beginning, but the longer I wandered, the more homesick I became. Later, even the mountains and rivers of my hometown, even a well and a thing, were never forgotten, and the history was dangling in my heart, especially clearer than when I was at home. "Let's talk about the scenery and people of Quanzhou.

Dongmen Qing knew that the other party was testing himself under the pretext, when Yang Zhizhong said every thing and everything, he picked up the pen to continue, supplement, Yang Zhizhong said at the beginning of the big place, and then went to the very small place to find! Many things would be difficult to know if it weren't for the people who have lived in Quanzhou for many years. Not only that, but there are also one or two sentences in his ten sentences that are deliberately wrong, depending on how Dongmen Qing responds. Fortunately, Dongmen Qing is a native of Quanzhou, and he has traveled widely, and he is familiar with the people in the market everywhere, although Yang Zhizhong's problem is tricky, it is not difficult for him, and every time he sees that Yang Zhizhong is not right, he will put pen to paper and correct it tactfully. The two talked and wrote for half an hour before Yang Zhizhong nodded to Zhang Changyi.

Zhang Changyi sighed and wrote: "Quanzhou has also been visited, and I know that it is a beautiful land in the world. Wang Gongzi deviated from such a rural well, and there must be a reason for coming. ”

Dongmen Qing wrote: "Ashamed, ashamed. In his later life, he failed many times, his family was scarce, and he had to board a ship to seek profits, but he was attacked by the Francophone man and became a slave! The Chinese on the ship were bullied and resisted, but unfortunately failed, and dozens of victims ......" wrote here because he remembered the tragic situation of a boatload of compatriots burned to death by the Francophone people on the sea surface of Fujian, his eyes blinked twice, and he shed tears, and continued to write: "I waited for ten lucky immortal people, but were banished by the Francome people on this island, so I wanted to build a ship and go to sea, hoping to return to China, and did not want to be trapped in Tufan. That night, I sent someone here to investigate, hoping that your fleet could bring us back to Daming, but I didn't want to make a misunderstanding. ”

This passage is half false and half true, but it is also sincere, Zhang Changyi, Yang Zhizhong, etc. can't find a flaw. Zhang Changyi wrote: "That being the case, why didn't you say it when your envoy came last night? ”

Dongmen Qing wrote: "The matter of the Buddha Lang machine is really deliberately concealed, why do you hide it? First, because of the helplessness of the Franc machine man's expulsion, after all, his face was gloomy; Second, the Francophone man is infamous for his evil deeds, and we are worried that those who are new to it will be suspicious. I don't want to end up, but I have a big misunderstanding to avoid small doubts. ”

This passage is also true, Zhang Changyi and Yang Zhizhong have not answered, and news suddenly came from the shore, saying that the finance deputy has returned. Zhang Changyi was overjoyed, and Yang Zhizhong said to Dongmen Qing: "There are some small things to deal with, please wait a while." ”

Zhang Changyi turned around and signaled Zhang Yue'e, Zhang Yue'e walked over and said to Dongmen Qing a little shyly: "Prince Wang, please come here." Led him to the cabin to rest, served tea and snacks, Dongmenqing patted her hand with his hand when he took it - he was inconvenient to speak, this was meant to be a thanks, but Zhang Yue'e panicked, lowered her head, and even the half of her face without a birthmark turned red. Dongmen Qing is a veteran of Fengyue, and when he saw it, he said: "This girl won't take a fancy to me, right?" He is not a young man, he was moved when he saw a woman like him, this matter just passed by in his mind, and he didn't take it to heart, Xun remembered again: "They said that the deputy of finance came back, I don't know what the deputy of finance did before?" ”
