"Five minutes!" The middle-aged man with a beautiful beard stood there cross-legged and shouted into the woods: "I will only give you five minutes to let your leader come out and talk to me at once, or I will immediately flatten this island, and then find you like cockroaches and hang you here one by one!" ”

The words were shouted in the words of the Great Ming, and Shinnosuke Nohara understood it, even if he couldn't understand it, there were people around him who were dressed like them, but they were not accomplices from the Great Ming Dynasty.

"Xiao Zhulang, you go, see what they want!" Shinnosuke Nohara shouted to his right-hand man, and a guy shorter than him reluctantly walked out of the woods with a sword.

"Uh, what are you doing!" Xiao Zhulang shouted five people and six people, and suddenly more than a dozen muskets pointed towards him, and he suddenly shuddered, and did not dare to continue walking.

"You're in charge here?" The look of disdain in the bearded man's eyes flashed, and he glanced behind him: "How many of you are there?" ”

"What are you asking for?" Xiao Zhulang asked boldly, but in the face of the muzzle of the musket in the black hole, he always felt that his voice was a little weak.

"I want to talk to you about business!"

The middle-aged bearded man grinned and found a clean stump and sat down: "A big business!" ”

"We're all a bunch of fishermen, we don't know what business is!" Xiao Zhuyun opened his eyes and talked nonsense, and the bearded man glanced at the sword in his hand, and smiled disdainfully: "If you can't talk well, then there is no need to talk about business, of course, there is no need for you to exist!" ”

Xiao Zhuyun timidly glanced to the side, boss, if you don't say anything, I can't hold on!

"I don't know where you come from, who dares to talk to you about business, who knows if you are a Ming sailor in disguise!" Nohara Shinnosuke walked out of the woods and said loudly, he understood, this group of people looked aggressive, and even opened their mouths to threaten, but, since they found this place, it was not a random killing, maybe, these people really have the intention of talking to them about business, of course, since they are asking him, then as long as they don't talk about collapse, there is no danger.

"Seeing our ship and not knowing where we came from, are you still a competent pirate?" The bearded man replied proudly: "Deacon of the Victor Chamber of Commerce in the Far East of the Kingdom of Portugal, Leo, you can call me Lord Leo!" ”

"Victor Chamber of Commerce?" Nohara Shinnosuke was stunned, and the deacon, this is the head of the Chamber of Commerce, not those merchant ships protected by the Chamber of Commerce.

What kind of behemoth is the Victor Chamber of Commerce, he knows, it is said that a pirate of the descendants of the Nine Ghost Family on Kyushu Island plundered several ships of this Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce organized more than 20 armed merchant ships and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers to directly pull out the descendants of the Nine Ghost Family from his nest, and then hanged hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, directly pulled the descendants of the Nine Ghost Family out of his nest, and then hanged them on the dock of Hao Jingao, just this one thing, It's enough to make all the heroes who beg for a living in this sea area jealous.

Later, it even developed to the point that even if no one provoked the ships of this Chamber of Commerce, the ships of this Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to provoke them, the heroes of the sea, and it was not that no one thought of teaching them a lesson, but the other party's ships were big ships, and there were also many muskets and cannons, and the pirates' ships were no different from a tattered sampan in front of their ships, and they couldn't run away, and they couldn't beat them, just like Nohara Shinnosuke's current situation, I don't know how aggrieved I am.

To put it mildly, this ghost chamber of commerce is much more hateful and annoying than the sailors of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's Leo-sama!" Nohara Shinnosuke bent down slightly, showing respect, for the strong, he is happy to offer his humility.

"I just want to ask you if you are willing to accept the protection of our Chamber of Commerce!"

Yes! Nohara Shinnosuke's eyes widened, looking at the person in front of him, is there such a good thing in this world that fell from the sky, if there is the protection of this Victor Chamber of Commerce, what kind of pirates do they have, that is, running trade and eating a little difference, it is enough for them and his brothers to be happy, they are pirates, they are not without identity, and they owe too much human life.

However, with the protection of the Victor Chamber of Commerce, who would dare to pursue them, Nohara Shinnosuke doesn't know about other places, but, in Haojingao, where the headquarters of this Chamber of Commerce is located, it is absolutely safe and there is absolutely no problem, and in Nagasaki, the people of the Chamber of Commerce also have enough weight to speak to the sheriff, that is to say, the identities of these people are not whitewashed in an instant?

A little farther away, Siam, Chenla, and even Manraka, those ports controlled by the southern barbarians, wouldn't they go as they wanted, and they didn't have to worry about anything anymore?

"Can you say that again?" He still didn't quite believe his ears.

"Just ask you, if you are willing, accept the protection of our Victor Chamber of Commerce!"

This time it was true, he was sure that he had heard correctly, but the wisdom of survival, he still had a little, he thought for a moment: "Very willing, but, Lord Leo, what price do we need to pay, you must know that our people and even our ship may not be seen by you!" ”

"Just do something for the Chamber of Commerce when it needs it!" Leo sneered: "Of course, you can also refuse, I believe this kind of thing, many of your peers are willing to do it!" ”

"We do!" Nohara Shinnosuke immediately decided, "After accepting the protection of the Chamber of Commerce, we can fly the flag of the Chamber of Commerce to the port, is that right?" ”

"With our permission!" Leo replied, "Of course, if you work hard and do your best for the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce will even promise you some escort missions!" ”

"We have two ships, forty-seven people, Lord Leo, Shinnosuke Nohara and his loyal subordinates, ready to do our best for the Chamber of Commerce!" Shinnosuke Nohara did not hesitate to express his position.

"Gather your men, get on the boat, follow us, and let me see if you have any value worthy of the protection of our Chamber of Commerce!" Leo snorted and walked towards the sea: "If you try to escape, you can compete with my boat faster than anyone!" ”

Wan Ziliang's efficiency is still relatively high, of course, this is also related to Qin Yi's close cooperation, in the Ming Dynasty, when Jinyiwei went out to handle cases, it was really rare to be able to cooperate with the local government without any mustard, even if there was cooperation, it was because the local government was afraid of Jinyiwei's notoriety and had to reluctantly cooperate.

Jin Yiwei and the civil official system, they can't pee in a pot at all on weekdays.

However, Qin Yi can be regarded as an outlier in the civil system.

From being raised to being a cold bench in the Ministry of Officials for two years, to being a county magistrate and a county magistrate in Xiangshan, his career was simply bumpy, and he finally got the official order of a county, and he also had the heart to do something for Li Shu, leaving a clear name for himself, to say that he was an official, although he said that he was an official for thousands of miles, just for food and clothing, but if he could have food and clothing, he could also have a clear name, such a good thing, who would not want to!

He has always been an official and a man in accordance with this purpose. The benefits that should be taken by him, he will not be pretended to be pedantic to the point that he does not want to, and the benefits that should not be taken, he will definitely not stretch out his hand indiscriminately.

On weekdays, he ushered in the send-off, honored his superiors, treated his subordinates well, and handled government affairs, which was also reasonable, upheld the law, and impartial.

However, this time the situation in the DPRK and China has changed greatly, he is just a petty official who goes with the flow, and he has also been affected, and some people are even aiming at the position under his ass, which makes him have to start thinking about himself.

After learning from the pain of this time, he finally came to a conclusion that the reason why he had such an end and was coveted like this, in addition to having no backing above him, was because he had always been unstable in his butt.

If you want to put your ass on the people and be a pedantic and clean official like Hai Rui, as long as the official reputation goes out, it will naturally rise higher and higher, and it will naturally become a clear stream in the Ming officialdom.

Or, don't think about those things that do things for the people, honestly serve the court, sit on the side of the court, and always put the interests of the court first, in this way, there is also a way to be promoted, and even when he encounters the current predicament, someone will pull him, so that he will not lose his family property, and it will be difficult to find someone to help.

The appearance of the adults is undoubtedly a huge turning point.
