There is no need for Shen Shouyao to relay it, Zhu Youzhen's words Han Chengzu has heard it very clearly. Han Chengzu's heart fluctuated violently.

Han Chengzu's Daming official words are actually very good. is just using a strong vernacular dialect to say that paragraph, Han Chengzu is more to hide his turbulent mood.

A lonely vassal king, a high-ranking figure similar to a legend, suddenly appeared in front of him, and the pressure on Han Chengzu was too great.

The excuse that was originally familiar to him and memorized it like a stream, at the moment of exit, Han Chengzu suddenly felt a little inappropriate. Unconsciously changed Han Chengzu's proficient official dialect to the vernacular dialect he was more familiar with.

Speaking in dialects, Han Chengzu tried to test the other party's reaction. As soon as the words came out, Han Chengzu pricked up his ears and waited for the other party's reaction, while examining the excuses he had made again.

As soon as Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, it caused a violent shock in Han Chengzu's heart again.

Although the voice of the person who spoke was young, the situation revealed in the words made Han Chengzu startled. Separate the sailors and the cargo ship will be exposed. Even if the sailors did not reveal anything else, it was difficult to explain the whereabouts of the cargo ship under the original pretext.

Who is giving advice to the other person? is so old and spicy, is it an old official?

A heavy shadow appeared on Han Chengzu's low face.

Is this a second excuse?

Kneeling on the ground, Han Chengzu's mind spun rapidly.

"Sailor, we're asking each other. Your Highness is kind-hearted and would like to give you another chance, and you can say it again from the beginning. Remember, to tell the truth, use official words. ”

Shen Shouyao's threatening voice sounded in Han Chengzu's ears, helping Han Chengzu to make up his mind completely.

"The villain should be damned, the villain will tell the truth, this will tell the truth."

Han Chengzu's kneeling body suddenly trembled like chaff, and he screamed in fear.

"The cargo on the villain's ship, in fact, was actually bought by these pirates. After passing Zhifu Island, the pirates guided the villain to drive the ship here. The villain is just to earn a few more taels of silver, and the villain really didn't mean to collude with them.

Today, these pirates suddenly changed their faces, and they locked up the villain, if it wasn't for the big man to save him, the villain would definitely die.

The villain, the villain is willing to sacrifice all the goods on the ship to thank the lord for saving his life. ”

Han Chengzu knocked his head on the ground, and kept chanting loudly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

"Thank you?"

Seeing that Han Chengzu was trembling with fright, and only kowtowed without raising his head, Zhu Youzhen showed a smile on his face. Chong waved his hand left and right, and Zhu Youzhen said noncommittally: "Okay, let's take him down first." ”

"Xiao Shen, is he telling the truth or a lie?"

Looking at Han Chengzu's back as he was taken away by the guards, Zhu Youzhen asked easily.

"Your Highness, what he said the second time may be true. It is not uncommon for merchants like them to be greedy and supply supplies to pirates. ”

Speaking of this topic, Shen Shouyao obviously had a trace of loneliness on his face.

Shen Shouyao grew up on the coast of Daming. Shen Yourong has been responsible for clearing out the bandits along the coast of the Ming Dynasty all the year round, and all kinds of businessmen who collude with pirates, Shen Shouyao has long been surprised.

On the sea of the Ming Dynasty, how many maritime merchants themselves are engaged in the side business of pirates. Or to put it a little more ruthlessly, those sea merchants are actually a layer of protection on the pirates. On the sea of the Ming Dynasty, there are no pure merchants at all. Without collusion with pirates and without the protection of force, pure merchants will not be able to move an inch in the Daming Sea.

"You say, can he know some of the maritime merchants of sufficient weight?"

Plenty of maritime merchants?

Zhu Youzhen's words startled Shen Shouyao.

If you dare to call it a maritime merchant of sufficient weight, you have to be a big pirate with a name on the sea.

What is Your Highness going to do?

"Your Highness, with the name of my old man, absolutely no one dares to touch our fleet."

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Shouyao figured out what Zhu Youzhen meant, and he shouted angrily.

"What are you thinking?"

Zhu Youzhen unceremoniously reprimanded Shen Shouyao.

"With the prestige of General Shen, no one dares to rob our fleet. Do you know where you can buy cheap goods and from which dock where to load the goods? ”

Staring at Shen Shouyao, Zhu Youzhen's expression was unusually serious: "Lone handed over the silver to you, can you buy the goods back for Lone quickly and cheaply?" ”

was stunned by Zhu Youzhen's series of questions, and after thinking about it again and again, Shen Shouyao still lowered his head silently.

Seeing that Shen Shouyao lowered his head tamely, Zhu Youzhen provoked a trace of laughter at the corner of his mouth, but he still taught him a serious lesson in his mouth: "Do you know? Be sure to ask a few more whys so that you can grow into a real fleet commander as soon as possible. ”

As he was talking, Zhu Youzhen suddenly remembered that Han Chengzu seemed to have said a very familiar place name.

"Xiao Shen, what island was he talking about just now? Is it Zhifu Island? ”

In the previous life, the district where Yantai Port was located was called Zhifu District, and Zhu Youzhen had a deep impression of this rare area code.

Zhifu District, pronounced as (prefect district). This rare district name, Zhu Youzhen once mispronounced it as a (branch) district, which made him remember it very deeply.

The pronunciation of Zhifu Island appeared in the pronunciation of Han Chengzu's official dialect, which made Zhu Youzhen, who suddenly remembered it, pay special attention to it.

If it is really the Zhifu Island in Yantai, then Yantai Port is easy to find.

Zhu Youzhen stared at Shen Shouyao and waited for Shen Shouyao's confirmation.

Han Chengzu has spoken in dialect and official dialect twice before and after, if this place name is mentioned, then Shen Shouyao should also be able to hear it.

"Back to His Highness, he did say Zhifu Island."

Zhu Youzhen's topic changed quickly, which caught Shen Shouyao off guard. After thinking carefully for a moment, Shen Shouyao gave a definite answer.

"Your Highness, Zhifu Island is an important port of call for cargo ships coming from the south. Most of the cargo ships coming from the south will dock there to repair and then sail to Dengzhou.

If the surname Han is indeed from Jiangnan, Zhifu Island is indeed the only way for him, and he should not panic. ”

"Zhifu Island, it's really Zhifu Island. It's from Dengzhou, no, how far is it from here? After muttering two sentences softly, Zhu Youzhen asked in a condensed voice.

"It takes 2 days for the cargo ship from Zhifu Island to Dengzhou. To this point? ”

After carefully calculating the distance traveled, Shen Shouyao definitely replied: "The cargo ship should take more than 1 day." If you want to use our clipper, you should be able to get there in half a day. ”

It takes 2 days for the cargo ship to go to Dengzhou, and it takes more than 1 day to get here. Are we still near Dengzhou?

Hearing the distance calculated by Shen Shouyao, Zhu Youzhen suddenly found that they didn't seem to have run far at all in the past two days.

However, this distance and this name are really similar to Yantai in the previous life.

"Great," Zhu Youzhen shouted excitedly: "Let's go see this Zhifu Island early tomorrow morning." ”
