Just when Fidel and the others thought that the "indigenous soldiers" outside the wall would not take care of them, the officers of the Marine Division, who had already been mobilized, asked an interpreter who knew Spanish to call out and ask them to hand over the murderer of Li Hongyu.

In the war room, Fidel's brows furrowed again after receiving the news, realizing that the people surrounding the camp were not local natives, but soldiers of the Ming Empire, no wonder they had such sophisticated weapons and equipment.

"What's going on?"

After glancing around at the group of officers sitting in the room, Fidel asked in a deep voice, he didn't know about Li Hongyu's shooting, could it be that someone did it behind his back?

The officers glanced at each other suspiciously, and their faces showed blank looks, as if they didn't know anything about Li Hongyu.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, the natives outside have reported the number of a musket, which belongs to our battalion." Soon, the silence of the scene was broken, and a soldier came in and reported loudly.

"Our battalion's muskets?"

For some reason, Fidel had a vague sense of foreboding, and then asked in a deep voice, "What is the musket number?" ”

The soldier then gave a serial number, which caused the officers on the scene to look at a tall lieutenant sitting in the crowd.

This lieutenant was none other than Gonzalez, who was dueling with Li Hongyu, and judging by the number of the muskets, it belonged to the soldiers under his command.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, this is impossible, our company's muskets have always been well kept, and it is impossible for them to be left outside." Seeing this, Gonzalez quickly stood up and said to Fidel with a serious expression.

"Lieutenant Gonzalez, I believe you, you go back to the camp now and bring that gun with the same number." Fidel frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice.

Gonzalez was a young officer in Fidel's high esteem, graduated from the best military school in Spain, and was still an honor student in the school, so he naturally believed Gonzalez's words.

Hearing this, Gonzalez bowed to Fidel and walked away quickly, ready to bring the gun.

To Gonzalez's disappointment, however, when he found the platoon commander of the platoon where the soldier with the gun was, the man who was directing the soldiers on the wall told him the bad news that the Spanish soldier with the gun had taken leave last night to have a tryst with his lover outside and had not yet returned to the camp.

According to the rules of the barracks, the soldier should go back to the camp at night to sleep and not stay outside.

"What? He's not in the camp! When Gonzalez broke the news to Fidel, Fidel was taken aback, and this was a bad sign.

"Does he know the interpreter of the Daming fleet?" Later, Fidel asked Gonzalez in a deep voice, since the soldier was not there, then he was suspected of shooting Da Ming's Tongshi, and he knew that "Tongshi" was the translator.

"Back to Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I haven't heard Cole mention anyone he knows about Daming."

Gonzalez didn't know about these private matters, but he called all the people in the soldier's class, and a middle-aged soldier immediately replied that the soldier's name was Cole.

"Lieutenant Gonzalez, Cole is your soldier, and you're now in charge of getting him back." Fidel groaned for a moment, then said to Gonzalez.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I will definitely get him back with the gun." Gonzalez pressed his legs together, slammed his right fist the back of his chest, and left expressionlessly, looking for Cole.

However, it was not easy for Gonzalez to leave the camp, the whole camp was already surrounded by soldiers of the Daming Naval Division, and after some negotiations, the military attache of the Naval Division who led the army agreed, but he had to send the soldiers of the Naval Division to find someone with him, so as not to play any tricks.

Led by one of Cole's comrades, Gonzalez went to a slum in the harbor and knocked on the door of one of the houses, where a rather handsome young widow lived and told Gonzalez that Cole had not been there for the night.

This made Gonzalez's heart sink suddenly, realizing that something was wrong, all of this was naturally not a coincidence, could it really be that Cole attacked the Ming Dynasty?

At this moment, Gonzalez didn't know that the general manager of Daming was the young man who duel him, and it was impossible for him to know Li Hongyu's identity.

Upon Gonzalez's questioning, the widow said that Cole was either drinking or in a casino, or in a brothel, and Gonzalez led the men to a place where Cole might go.

However, to Gonzalez's disappointment, he tossed and turned all night until dawn the next day and still couldn't find Cole, and he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

As Gonzalez continued to search for Cole's whereabouts where Cole might have been, the local government in Bangkok received a report from the people that a Western soldier had hanged himself in a grove.

The government then sent someone to check the scene, and recognized it as a Spanish soldier from the military uniform, so it sent someone to the Spanish soldier to report, and met Gonzalez and his party who were looking for people all over the world on the way.

Hearing that someone had hanged himself, Gonzalez realized that things were going bad, and hurried over to check on it, and the soldier hanging from the tree was indeed his soldier Cole, who was hanging from the tree with his neck in a rope noose, and at his feet was a kicked down wooden pier, apparently hanging himself from the wooden pier.

Gonzalez had Cole's body untied from the tree with an expressionless face, and he looked at it carefully, and Cole had no injuries around him, and he was indeed hanged.

"You're Gonzalez from yesterday's duel?" Just as Gonzalez was about to bring Cole's body back, a major of the Marine Division led a group of soldiers in a hurry, staring at him with a grim expression, and asked the interpreter to ask.

"I'm Gonzalez, what's the matter with you?" Gonzalez nodded, looked at the Marine Major, and asked.

"You're looking for you!" After confirming Gonzalez's identity from the interpreter, Major Sailor sneered, waved his hand to the soldiers following behind him, and shouted, "Take it down for this officer." ”

Following the order of the Marine Major, the soldiers who followed him immediately rushed towards Gonzalez.

"What do you want to do?" Gonzalez was taken aback by this, brushed and drew his saber from his waist, and the soldiers he brought with him nervously raised their muskets in their hands.

"The Commander has an order to capture Gonzalez." The Marine Major suddenly sneered, stretched out his hand and pointed at Gonzalez, and gave the order again.

With a whirl, the sailor soldiers who had been following Gonzalez and the sailor major converged and surrounded Gonzalez and the others, and the archers and crossbowmen aimed their cold arrows at them.

"It's me who you want to arrest, and it has nothing to do with my men, let them go back."

Gonzalez only brought a dozen or so Spanish soldiers, and there were more than 200 sailors on the scene, although he was brave but not stupid, he knew that Cole's matter was very important, so he thought about it and said to the sailor major, "Otherwise, we will defend the honor of the soldiers and die in battle!" ”

The sailor major groaned when he heard this, and saw that Gonzalez didn't seem to be joking, so he nodded and waved his hand, and the sailor soldiers around him dodged a way, his order was to bring Gonzalez back alive, if Gonzalez died, he would not be able to deliver.

Gonzalez breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and after instructing his soldiers to rush back to the camp and report Cole's matter to Fidel, the situation was now very serious.

"Take him down." After the Spanish soldiers left, the marine major pointed to Gonzalez and said in a deep voice,

Several soldiers swarmed up, removed Gonzalez's saber from his waist, and tied him with rope after the search.

"Why are you arresting me?" Gonzalez didn't understand why the Ming Army's sailors wanted to arrest him, and after being tied up, he asked the sailor major in confusion.

"Hmph, you know it!" The sailor major stared at Gonzalez coldly, since they learned that Cole was Gonzalez's subordinate, Wang Hong and Bai Cheng both suspected that Gonzalez instructed Cole to murder Li Hongyu, so they sent someone to arrest him.

The sailor major was also an old man from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, so he knew Li Hongyu's identity, if it wasn't for Bai Cheng's order, he would definitely kill Gonzalez to avenge Li Hongyu.

Now all kinds of evidence point to Gonzalez, Gonzalez is now jumping into the Yellow River and can't clear his suspicions, not only Cole is his subordinate, but he also has a motive to kill, in ancient times, these evidences were enough to convict a person.

"What happened to your correspondent has nothing to do with me, I don't know him at all, why do you want to harm him?" Gonzalez realized from the hateful gaze of the Marine Major that the matter was more serious than he had thought, so he said helplessly.

"Our general master is the one who duel with you last night, I didn't expect you to be so despicable and shameless, and send someone to plot against our general master." Hearing this, Major Sailor couldn't help but clench his fists, glared at Gonzalez angrily and said.

"It turned out to be him!"

After learning the identity of the Ming officer who had the accident from the translator, Gonzalez couldn't help but be stunned there, no wonder these Ming soldiers wanted to arrest him, it turned out that the person who duel with him had an accident, and then thought of Cole's matter, he was really speechless.

"Take it away!" The marine major sneered and waved his hand, and asked Gonzalez to be escorted back to his life.

The news that the soldiers of the Daming Navy surrounded the Spanish camp spread throughout Bangkok, and people were shocked, and the well-informed people knew that the Spaniards had shot and wounded a general of the Daming fleet, and the uninformed people did not know what had happened.

Although Cole died, due to the involvement of Daming and Spain, the local government in Bangkok wisely chose to retreat and let Daming and Spain settle the dispute between the two sides.

The Spaniards were completely planted this time, not only was the camp surrounded by water, but the warships and merchant ships anchored at the dock were all detained by the Daming Sailors, and they would not return the ships and goods to Li Hongyu until the matter was resolved.

Unlike the local people in Bangkok, people from other Western countries were surprised and inexplicably excited, and they all looked forward to the Ming Dynasty fighting with the Spaniards, so that Spain's eastward expansion plan would be seriously affected, and they just took advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits.

Fidel was helpless against the situation in front of him, and the Spaniards were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, and since the power of firearms was not enough to dominate the battlefield, they would definitely lose in the event of a clash with the Great Open Bomb.

Moreover, Fidel was not willing to provoke the huge Eastern Empire of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they would be in danger of being driven out of Asia, and most importantly, the loss of the long-awaited market of the Ming Dynasty would have a great impact.

Fidel wanted to see Wang Hong or Bai Cheng to explain, he didn't believe that Gonzalez would send someone to kill Li Hongyu, there must be some misunderstanding here.

It's a pity that Wang Hong and Bai Cheng didn't mean to see him, and the two would not have any contact with the Spaniards until Li Hongyu woke up.

Li Hongyu finally woke up the next afternoon, but a worrying scene inevitably appeared, Li Hongyu actually began to burn.

This is not what Dr. Edward wants to see, it means that Li Hongyu is infected nine times out of ten, and he can only do his best to treat Li Hongyu.

"It shouldn't have been Gonzalez's doing, this man is a knight as an example, he can't do such a thing!" After listening to Wang Hong and Bai Cheng's report on the incident, Li Hongyu shook his head in prostration, although he was dizzy now, his mind was still clear, and he had his own judgment.

"Scholar, now that the evidence is conclusive, Gonzalez is hard to get out of the matter." Wang Hong said to Li Hongyu with a serious expression, and Gonzalez could not get away with the existing evidence.

"A gun is a soldier's life, and that Cole shouldn't have lost it."

Li Hongyu knew the incriminating evidence in Wang Hong's mouth, so he groaned for a while and said, "Therefore, there is no reason to explain why he left that musket, isn't this self-defeating?" ”

"Maybe I was too panicked, and I left the musket behind in a hurry." Bai Cheng opened his mouth when he heard this, and the situation he said was not impossible, but unfortunately Cole was dead, and there was no proof of his death.

"The person who can injure me in the night is definitely a master of using a musket, as long as you follow this line, you will definitely gain something, don't act rashly until then!"

Li Hongyu felt that what Bai Cheng said also made some sense, so he coughed a few times and told Wang Hong and Bai Cheng in a deep voice not to let the two of them take action until the situation was clear.

Since Li Hongyu does not believe that Gonzalez is the mastermind behind the scenes, then there must be someone else behind the scenes, and his act of plotting to kill him must have other plans, so Li Hongyu believes that he should act cautiously and not fall into the trap of the other party.

In addition, Li Hongyu felt that the evidence was too easy to obtain, as if someone deliberately left it, and everything seemed unreasonable, so it had to be carefully verified.

"Tell Dr. Edward to come over." After instructing Wang Hong and Bai Cheng about some things, Li Hongyu said in a deep voice that he should now have an understanding of his condition so that he can deal with it in his heart.
