A few days later, Li Hongyu's ship arrived at Jilong Harbor in the northern part of Xiaoliuqiu, the largest port in Xiaoliuqiu and an important gathering place for smugglers and pirates on the island. 2.

Li Hongyu stood on the bow of the ship and stared intently at the dense shacks built on the mountains around Jilong Harbor, due to the limited conditions, the residents could only live in simple shanty houses, which were extremely eye-catching at a glance.

Diametrically opposed to the shanty houses on the hill is the delicacy on the wharf, there is a town located against the mountain, blue bricks and green tiles, lively and prosperous, it is the most prosperous and rich place in Xiaoliuqiu, living in the rich and noble people on Xiaoliuqiu Island, it can be described as the economic center of Xiaoliuqiu Island, and many maritime merchants trade here.

At this time, the port of Jilong Port is full of large and small ships, there are fishing boats that go out to sea to fish, and there are also sea ships that carry out sea transportation, crowded with people, boiling and surging, and it looks busier and more lively than any port in Daming.

Li Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, if the sea ban was not implemented, the ports along the coast of Daming would be as prosperous and busy as Jilong Port, but now they have become a pool of stagnant water, allowing smugglers to crisscross the sea.

Waiting near the chicken coop port, Youlan changed into a red dress, and her face was covered with a layer of red veil, which looked a little cold and mysterious.

It turned out that in view of Youlan's appearance was too outstanding, Youlan had to wear a red veil so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and at the same time, it was also a lonely person who made people with bad intentions stay away.

Speaking of which, everyone on Xiaoliuqiu Island knows that Youlan is beautiful and fragrant, but unfortunately there are very few people who have seen her appearance, and it is precisely because of this that people are more interested in this and want to see her beauty.

Before getting off the ship, Youlan repeatedly told the people on the boat not to reveal Li Hongyu's identity, otherwise it would cause a big disaster, after all, Li Hongyu was a guest of the court's auxiliary minister Li Daxue, and now he was hijacked by Liu Haiying from the county seat of Shanghai County to Xiaoliuqiu Island, which made Li Daxue lose face.

Although Li Daxue is the orthodox two champions, but he is a good hand in the war, it can be said that he is strategizing, winning thousands of miles, first there is the Liaodong War to build a slave to move the capital to flee for his life, and then there is the death of the Wanli Emperor after the rebellion in the capital to quell the rebels, all led by Li Daxue.

Therefore, once Scholar Li is provoked to attack Chicken Coop Harbor, I am afraid that Chicken Coop Harbor will suffer a catastrophe, and with the power and ability of Scholar Lee, Chicken Coop Harbor will definitely be bulldozed.

Everyone also knew the seriousness of the situation, and if other forces in Xiaoliuqiu learned of Li Hongyu's identity, they would definitely come to rob people and use them as bargaining chips to negotiate with Li Daxue.

Li Hongyu naturally knew the danger of Xiaoliuqiu Island's situation, and he didn't want to become a prey in the eyes of others, so he would definitely not reveal his identity, so as not to seek trouble for himself.

Someone on the dock greeted Youlan and Liu Haiying, and since they could not notify the island in advance that they were going to return, they must have been seen when the ship entered the port, and then reported it to the relevant people.

"Haiying, why did you come back with Second Miss." Greeted on the dock was a middle-aged man with a beard, seeing the veiled Youlan following behind Liu Haiying, he couldn't help but show a surprised look, as far as he knew, Youlan went on a secret mission, as if he shouldn't come back with Liu Haiying.

"It's hard to put into words."

An embarrassed look appeared on Liu Haiying's face, and then he asked the middle-aged man with a beard, "Uncle Jia, is my father here?" ”

"Big brother is at home." The bearded middle-aged man nodded when he heard this, then turned sideways and moved out of the way, and made a gesture of invitation to Youlan, "Second Miss, please." ”

"Uncle Jia!"

Youlan smiled and bowed slightly to the bearded middle-aged man, and then led Li Hongyu to the carriage waiting on the side under the surprised gaze of the bearded middle-aged man, while Liu Haiying got on a horse and drove the road in front of the carriage.

"Lao Zhang, why are you here, the owner wants you to do something?" The next moment, the bearded middle-aged man's gaze fell on a person who got off the boat, and hurriedly walked up and looked at Dr. Zhang who was holding his little grandson in his arms in surprise, "What are you......?" Moving in? ”

"It's hard to put into words.

Doctor Zhang smiled bitterly and said to the bearded middle-aged man, "This is not the place to talk, I'll tell you when I go back." ”

"By the way, Lao Zhang, who is the young man who got into the carriage of the second miss, even Haiying has never been in the carriage with the second miss, but the second miss let him get in the carriage!"

The bearded middle-aged man knew that Dr. Zhang and Youlan must have hidden feelings that were inconvenient for outsiders to explain when they came back with Liu Haiying this time, and then Yu Feng turned around and asked suspiciously, it seems that the relationship between Youlan and him is not simple.

"Second Miss's master." Hearing this, Dr. Zhang stepped forward, lowered his voice and said to the bearded middle-aged man, "This matter is extremely complicated, I will talk to you in detail when I go back." ”

"Master?" The bearded middle-aged man's eyes widened suddenly, and his face showed an unbelievable look, never imagined that the arrogant and cold Youlan would also have a master.

The town of Jilong Harbor is prosperous, the crowd is surging, there are people of different costumes and skin colors, speaking with various accents, because of the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty, so whether it is the Japanese people or the Nanyang people and the red hairy people of the West are doing business here, trading goods, and the business can be described as exceptional.

Li Hongyu opened the curtain and looked at it, just looking at the prosperity of the street market is no less than Yangzhou, he was surprised by the high level of commerce, he began to think that the chicken coop port was just a simple port where pirates gathered, and he didn't expect it to be a prosperous town at all.

"Sir, although the Chicken Coop Harbor is prosperous, it is an outlaw place, and if you want to gain a foothold here, you must have a strong enough fist."

Seeing that Li Hongyu was very interested in the scenery and pedestrians in the market, Youlan Zhengse said, "Mr. will soon know how this place is different from the city where Mr. has stayed in the past." ”

As soon as Youlan's words fell, a man's scream came from the front, and the sound seemed to be falling from a height, followed by a bang, and the man's voice stopped abruptly.

Li Hongyu's brows suddenly frowned slightly, if he didn't guess wrong, someone fell from the building on the side of the road, and it seemed to be more than lucky.

"Sir, the matter of dead people will be born here every day, and it is as simple as a daily routine, Sir must be careful in the future, don't have too much contact with people from outside." Youlan solemnly warned Li Hongyu that it was obvious that a person had died just now, and this kind of thing had long been accustomed to in Xiaoliuqiu.

Li Hongyu hesitated for a moment when he heard this, then opened the corner of the curtain of the carriage and looked forward, only to see a man with a broken brain lying on the ground not far away, his body was twitching slightly, red blood and white brains were sprinkled on the ground, and it looked extremely eye-catching at a glance.

The surrounding pedestrians were indifferent to the scene in front of them, and walked past the corpse with a calm expression, as if it was a cat or dog that had died, and if it had been left in the inner 6 cities, the street would have exploded.

Li Hongyu looked up, there was a three-story attic next to the street next to the corpse, and next to the guardrail on the third floor, several strong men were leaning down to look down at the corpse on the road, it seemed that they had thrown people down the building.

"What about this corpse?" Li Hongyu then closed the curtain and asked Youlan with a pretended shocked look.

"Someone will come and collect the body, and if someone claims it, give it to them, and if it doesn't claim it, bury it in a mass grave."

Youlan smiled bitterly, and then replied helplessly, "Since the identities of those people on the island are all fake, if they are buried in a mass grave, they will become anonymous without a name and place of origin, and they will never be able to return to their hometown." ”

Li Hongyu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, the Chinese tradition is to return to the roots, but now those anonymous people are going to die in a foreign land, I have to say that it is a great sadness.

"Isn't there anyone in charge?" Then, Li Hongyu frowned and looked at Youlan, this town in Jilong Harbor must have its own rules if it is so prosperous, otherwise it can't be operated.

"After years of fighting, the affairs of the town are jointly managed by the most powerful families, each with its own territory, and although there are many fights, on the whole the well water does not interfere with the river water."

A wry smile flashed at the corner of Youlan's mouth when she heard this, and she explained to Li Hongyu in a deep voice:

"Because this kind of balance is a competition of whose fists are hard, so many new forces want to replace the old forces, so that the new and old forces change quickly, but the situation has been better in recent years, and the people in charge of several families in the town have formed an alliance in order to protect their own interests, and jointly deal with those who want to fight a piece of the world with their fists."

"However, this combination of interests is only temporary, and there are always people who want to crush others and become the hegemon of the seas, so once someone's power is strong enough, then this alliance will also come to an end."

Saying that, Youlan sighed and said bitterly, "My father is worried that he will be swallowed by others, so he wants to climb to Scholar Li, and he can also find a backer at that time, and maybe he can annex other forces in one fell swoop." ”

Li Hongyu saw Youlan's eyes gloomy, knowing that she was secretly sad, her father actually gave her away as a gift by doing this.

But then again, with the beautiful appearance of Youlan, there must be few men who are not tempted by it, and even he can't help but feel pity for the jade.

Because this topic was relatively heavy, Li Hongyu and Youlan fell silent for a while, sitting quietly in the carriage thinking about their own thoughts.

As far as Li Hongyu is concerned, he has to find a way to contact the people in the Inner 6 as soon as possible, and the nearest port to Xiaoliuqiu is undoubtedly Fuzhou Port, where there are not only the Customs Department and the Sailor but also the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, which is the target of Li Hongyu's choice.

Youlan has to think about how to explain to her father, she will definitely have no way to return to Jiangnan after being stirred up by Liu Haiying, because as a woman who has been kidnapped by gangsters, she must have no reputation.

Although Youlan's current identity is a prostitute, she is a flawless Qingqi person, and it is precisely because of this that she is attractive to the outside world to get close to Scholar Li, and now that her name is ruined, how can Scholar Li be interested in a woman who has been defiled by gangsters, she has lost her biggest bargaining chip.

Youlan knew very well that her matter would soon reach her father, and she didn't know that her father would deal with this matter like this after hearing about it, hoping that things would be good and that one of her matters would be settled.
