After waiting for another two days, Li Chenghuai and the sailors returned from Fuzhou, and Pang Shangpeng, the governor of Fujian, arranged for them to settle in the designated place in accordance with the preferential treatment of Ma Zhishan and others, and placed Li Chenghuai and several other leaders in Yuzhenzhou, Jiulongjiangwan, Haicheng County, Zhangzhou, hoping that Ma Zhishan, who lived here, would be restrained from them. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

More than 500 family members from the tortoiseshell port came to the wharf with the old and the young, and the limping Li Chenghuai commanded them to line up in order, Zhang Gou'er took Lin Aying and said goodbye to them one by one, until everyone boarded the official ship sent by the governor's yamen, and Luo Amin came to see them off accompanied by Guo Yi, Xu Ling'er and Feng An.

At this moment, Luo Amin hid his face and cried bitterly, he couldn't help but recall the past, and the scene of taking these people to start a business together is vivid, and from now on, he may never see each other again in this life.

All the villagers stood on the deck and said goodbye to Luo Amin and others, shouting "Madame take care", at this time, Li Chenghuai, who had not yet boarded the ship, quietly called Guo Yi and Xu Linger aside.

"The great kindness of the two thousand households, Li will never forget it, thank you on behalf of the villagers of Tortoiseshell Harbor." As he spoke, Li Chenghuai knelt down for them.

Hurriedly helping him up, Xu Ling'er comforted: "Brother Chenghuai, Yuegang is a good place, you should work hard first, maybe Elder Yuekong will come there to find you." ”

"I went to Fuzhou to see the huge people this time, and I have to say something, you took 200 Ming army brothers to overseas and rescued our people, but these Ming army brothers are bloody on the battlefield, I am afraid that this responsibility will have to be borne by General Hu Shouren, it is said that ......"

Before Li Chenghuai finished speaking, Guo Yi asked in surprise: "Did someone impeach General Hu for this matter?" ”

"General Hu will be demoted and fined, and he will be transferred to Mobei, I'm afraid that even the kind General Feng will have to be punished." Li Chenghuai replied.

"This responsibility should be borne by me." Guo Yi said that he was going to find Feng An and ask her to send him to Fuzhou to meet Pang Shangpeng.

Seeing this, Xu Ling'er hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't be rash, you must find out the cause and effect." ”

"Sister, if I don't take responsibility, I'm afraid that even Sister Feng An will be affected, you take Mrs. Luo back to Ryukyu first, and after I ask for guilt, it's not too late to go to you." Guo Yi replied.

At this time, Feng An walked over, shook his head and said: "You don't know, even if this incident doesn't happen, General Hu will also be transferred to Mobei, Guo Qianhu, you don't need to go back to ask for guilt, the sky is falling and being carried by a huge person, you and I don't have to worry." ”

"Sister, what the hell is going on?" Xu Ling'er asked puzzled.

"It's okay not to care about these things. Regarding the affairs of the imperial court, we can't figure it out if we want to, so let him go. Feng An replied helplessly.

"So, sister, will you be affected?" Xu Ling'er asked with concern.

Feng An smiled slightly, and replied euphemistically: "Taiwan's sailors are trained by me, and someone has to do the work of guarding the sea frontier, no matter how the governor and the chief soldier fight, the huge people are not confused, and it will not affect my level for the time being, please rest assured." ”

Although this mission to the tortoiseshell port rescued many innocent people, to be honest, this operation was not successful, but allowed Lin Feng to easily get rid of the burden, regardless of whether he had the ability to drive away the Westerners in Luzon, but his continued intention to collude with the Japanese has never changed, therefore, sooner or later there will be chaos along the coast of Fujian.

So, Guo Yi stepped forward and grabbed Feng An's hand, and said with emotion: "There is a long way to go, please take care of my sister!" ”

At this time, someone came to ask Feng An to start the boat, and everyone sent Li Chenghuai on the ship, with Feng An's order, the big passenger ship sailed away from the dock, and the farewells of the villagers and Luo Amin's mother and daughter resounded one after another, resounding in the sky above Beigang......

People are not grassy and ruthless, and it can be seen that the families of Hawksbill Harbor have a deep relationship with Luo Amin.

At this moment, the grief-stricken Luo Amin ran towards the sea like crazy, but was tightly pulled by Zhang Gou'er and Xu Ling'er until the passenger ship disappeared into the vast ocean......

Soon after, Feng An began to arrange for their return to the Ryukyus, and since the arquebus was confiscated by the officers and soldiers, Mark feared that Simon Almeida would seek compensation from him in the future, and pestered Feng An for compensation.

Luo Amin learned of this situation and promised to return to the Ryukyus and take out a sum of money from the Lin family's shochu shop to compensate him, and Mark was relieved.

Mark's team of sailors came from a complicated background, and in order to keep it a secret, he left all of them in the North Harbor Army as miscellaneous servants, although these people were unwilling, it would be good to leave a small life.

The next day, Feng An selected a group of sailors from Beigang and sent Guo Yi, Luo Amin and others back to Ryukyu with Mark's merchant ship, arriving at Naha Port at dusk.

There are still two days left on August 15, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er are like arrows, very worried that something will happen to the Lin family shochu shop, the merchant ship has just docked, let Zhang Gou'er accompany Luo Amin's mother and daughter, Mark and Louis and others to wait on the boat, the two of them got off the boat first, they wanted to go to the Lin family shochu shop to see first.

Suddenly, a large group of Ryukyu officers and soldiers surrounded them, and when they saw this, all the people on the ship were frightened and hid.

One of the officers and soldiers at the head of the group said in a loud voice: "In accordance with the orders of the Naha Port Horse Conductor, we will board the ship and search to see if there are any prohibited items. ”

"We are merchants from Taiwan, and now the ship is empty, so there is no need to check it." Guo Yi replied.

"From Taiwan? This is obviously a Westerner's galleon. The officers and men pointed to the sails on the ship and asked: "You are talking nonsense with your eyes open, who are you trying to deceive?" ”

"Look, there are two Western red-haired ghosts on the ship." Mark and Louise were spotted among the officers and soldiers.

Guo Yi wanted to take out the waist card of the Jinyiwei and ask them to let him go, but it felt inappropriate to think about it carefully, this time she came to Ryukyu to shoulder a secret mission, not to mention that when she went to Ryukyu several times before, she had offended many magistrates, especially Chen Ping, the representative of Shuri, not only would not help herself, but she might also fall into the well, so she held back her anger and took out a bag of broken silver from her arms......

Helplessly, these Ryukyu officers and soldiers refused to eat hard and soft, so they had to board the ship for inspection, and even proposed to hand over the two Westerners, which made Guo Yi and Xu Linger quite annoyed, but they were helpless.

The Taiwanese sailors who came with the ship were a little impatient, and all of them got off the boat and confronted the Ryukyu officers and men, and the danger was imminent.

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er both knew that at this time, they must not cause trouble, let alone easily alarm the government, and wanted to send someone to deliver a letter to the Lin family soju shop, but the officers and soldiers learned that they were here to pull soju, so they immediately became polite and sent someone to their chief to report the news.

Before the messenger had yet to set off, he heard a shout from the pier: "The horse pipe has arrived!" ”

Guo Yi didn't know what would happen to this horse manager, so he was a little anxious, and hurriedly returned to the cabin to get his brocade guard waist card, Xu Linger was worried that these officers and soldiers would break into the boat, and still chatted with them with a smile.

"Don't act rashly, the horse pipe belt is coming."

Listening to this shout, Zhang Gou'er felt more and more familiar with the voice, and couldn't help but lie on the side of the boat to the shore to watch, and suddenly anger rose from his heart, evil to the side of the guts, and he opened his bow and arrows to aim at the shore......

Luo Amin hurriedly stopped Zhang Gou'er and asked in surprise, "Dog, what do you want to do?" ”

"Auntie, leave me alone." Zhang Gou'er said, pointed to the dock, and replied angrily: "Huang Bingwen, who was raised by this son of a bitch, actually bullied us to Ryukyu!" ”

Although Luo Amin had lived in Nanjing for five years, he had never seen Huang Bingwen, and when he looked towards the shore, he saw an unkempt beggar behind the ranks of officers and soldiers, and couldn't help asking: "Which one is Huang Bingwen?" ”

"It's that beggar, he must have put on makeup to find his uncle's possessions overseas." Zhang Gou'er said, and aimed the arrow at Huang Bingwen again.

At this time, Guo Yi also saw Huang Bingwen and hurriedly persuaded: "Dog, put down the bow and arrow." ”

"Isn't that person Huang Bingwen, the criminal officer in charge of the East Factory? Doesn't such a thief deserve to die? Zhang Gou'er asked.

"When he came, we were relieved." Guo Yi said, put the brocade guard waist card into his arms, and got off the boat with Zhang Gou'er.

What is strange is that Huang Bingwen has been standing in the distance and shouting "The horse pipe has brought", but he did not dare to come to the dock, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er couldn't get out, and the Ryukyu officers and soldiers became polite at this time, and no one insisted on boarding the ship for inspection.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the pipe belt saddle of the Naha Port Patrol Battalion led the men and horses over, separated the crowd and stepped forward, and found that it was Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er who arrived, so they hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said very politely: "The lower official didn't know that the benefactor had arrived, and he missed the distance, please forgive me!" ”

When the officers and soldiers saw this, they were so frightened that they hurriedly hid back.

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er immediately understood that the stirrup and saddle brothers had made a contribution by transporting Mrs. Wang Cuiqiao's bones back to Ryukyu, and now they are all officials, so they smiled and bowed to him.

"Lord Guan Dai, we are coming from Beigang, Taiwan this time, and we are going to the Lin family shochu shop to do business, you should understand, please let your brothers disperse." Guo Yi said politely.

"Let's all disperse, these two girls are wealthy businessmen in Taiwan, and they came to Shuri Castle to buy soju."

With the chanting of the saddle, the Ryukyu officers and soldiers dispersed in a hurry, and at this time, another voice came from a distance: "Lord Naha Port City has arrived." ”

After a while, the stirrup came with two entourages in a panic, and as soon as they met, they knelt down for Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, and tears flowed out of their excitement: "I don't know that the two benefactors have arrived, and the little one is late, it's really a sin, a sin." “

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er hurriedly picked up the stirrups, looking at the two brothers in amazement, now that one is the military governor of Naha Port and the other is the chief executive, they understand more and more that the power of the prince who lives in the palace is amazing.

The Paima brothers' retinue of guards cordoned off the dock, and the two brothers boarded the merchant ship and were taken aback when they saw Mark and Louise.

"May I ask you, two benefactors, what are you bringing this musket dealer for?" Saddle couldn't help but ask.

Guo Yi replied with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Mark has changed his ways, voluntarily gave up his position as a missionary, and will change to reading the books of sages in the future, please rest assured." ”

Mark also noticed the two shipowners, and found that they were all now high officials, so he took the initiative to greet them: "Meet the two lords!" ”

Ma Saddle waved his hand at him reservedly, and said with emotion: "The reason why the prince promoted us brothers to be in charge of Naha Port is because we were born in the rivers and lakes and know all kinds of tricks. On the other hand, Japanese businessmen were strictly controlled, and Japanese ronin was resolutely not allowed to set foot in the Ryukyus. ”

"The brave and loyal prince is loyal to the country, this heart can be learned, and it is a model for us to imitate." Guo Yi replied.

Luo Amin had heard them tell the story about the Ma brothers, it was they who quietly transported the coffins of Xu Hai and Mrs. Wang Cuiqiao back to Ryukyu, and their hearts suddenly overturned the five-flavor bottle, secretly complaining that their father Luo Wenlong was "seduced" by Wang Cuiqiao, and now, the daughter of Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao entered the palace as the concubine of the Ryukyu king, and as the family of the pirate Lin Wenjun, he was always facing the pursuit and arrest of the government......

Since Governor Konishi had threatened to send arquebuses to the Ryukyu warehouse before August 15, and would send ronins to wash the Lin family's shochu shop in blood, Xu Ling'er asked worriedly: "Has anyone been to the Lin family's shochu shop recently?" ”

Ma Saddle shook his head and replied, "Everyone in Shuri Castle knows that the backers of this brewery are very hard, who dares to make trouble easily?" ”

Xu Linger and Guo Yi glanced at each other, and they were all relieved.

"Have you seen the prince lately?" Guo Yi then asked.

The stirrup shook his head and replied, "Before our brothers became officials, they met with our father-in-law once, and they taught us face-to-face, and since then, we have never seen each other again." ”

"The prince can't trust the beggar who calls himself Su Ba." Saddle added.

"Why are you not worried about Su Ba?" Guo Yi hurriedly asked.

Ma Saddle replied: "The prince once instructed us brothers to be extra careful with Su Ba, and sure enough, recently, this kid has colluded with Japanese merchants in Naha Port, and secretly doesn't know what to do, and we are preparing to arrest them for interrogation." ”

It seems that there must be a reason for this, and I can't wait to find Su Ba to ask immediately, so Guo Yi said: "Two Chiefs Ma, about our identity, except for the prince, I'm afraid only the two of you know, because we are secretly on an errand, we must keep it secret for us." ”

"Please don't call us sir, our brother is always at the mercy of the two benefactors." The stirrup hurriedly bowed and saluted: "It's not early now, please come and dine with us." ”

Guo Yi nodded and replied, "In that case, we don't have to be polite, please send us quietly to the Lin Family Shochu Workshop." ”

So, everyone got off the boat together, but they didn't see the beggar Su Ba on the shore, and under the arrangement of the Ma brothers, they prepared more than ten carriages for them to send them to the Lin family shochu shop.

Luo Aping had already received the letter, and led the men, women and children of the winery to greet them outside the village, Luo Amin's mother and daughter hurriedly got out of the carriage, and the three of them hugged their heads and cried......

At this moment, the beggar Su Ba came out of nowhere, he quietly came behind Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, and whispered: "The two girls are okay. ”

The two hurriedly turned around, but found that Su Ba was waving his hand straight, signaling the two of them not to speak easily, and suddenly, Zhang Gou'er put a sharp sword on Su Ba's chest.

"Brother dog, let go." Xu Ling'er hurriedly shouted.

Su Ba saw clearly that it was Zhang Gou'er, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It turned out to be you, I will make amends to you another day." ”

"What are you doing in Ryukyu, you dog?" Zhang Gou'er asked.

Su Ba ignored it, stretched out his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "Those who should have come are here, they are temporarily tied up by me, now, please lend me two taels of silver, I have something to do tonight." ”

Guo Yi glanced at Xu Ling'er and nodded decisively, so Xu Ling'er took out a bag of broken silver and handed it to Su Ba.

"Thank you, two girls! Please come to the warehouse in Naha Port tomorrow and look for me. Su Ba said that, and disappeared into the night without looking back......

Zhang Gou'er asked puzzledly, "Sister, why do you trust him so much?" ”
