Under the cover of Song He and Wanxi, the four of them went out of Zhangzhou City together, because Xuande Zhenren was in a continuous hurry, he didn't sleep all night, and now he was exhausted, Zhu Hui, who was drugged by sweat, was still a little dizzy and couldn't walk, worried that someone would go to the warehouse to make trouble, so the husband and wife had to go back to Yuegang first. [Full text reading. 】

Not long after they left the city, the Fuzhou side reported that Zhu Hui, the chief banner officer of the Fusi Division of Jinyi Weibei Town, was suspended from his post for investigation, and had absconded from the capital half a year ago.

Annoyed and angry, Liu Qian personally went to Yuegang to find Zhang Biao, the chief flag officer of the Commander of the Metropolitan Command Department stationed in Yuegang, and asked him to immediately send officers and soldiers to arrest the fugitives Zhu Hui, Xuande Zhenren and their accomplices.

As soon as Song He and Wanxi returned to the warehouse, Zhang Biao's men arrived, arrested them all into the Jinyi Guard, and launched a comprehensive search, and at this time, Xuande Zhenren and Zhu Hui were still on their way back to Yuegang from Zhangzhou.

It was nearly noon, Zhang Biao had not found the fugitives, suspected that they did not return to Yuegang, and it was very likely that they went to Fuzhou to complain, once the governor Pang Shangpeng was alarmed, then Shen Qi and others became a hot potato, so they hurriedly brought Liu Qian to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Qian was also afraid that they would sue Pang Shangpeng, but he now knew that Zhu Hui was a fugitive, and Xuande Zhenren's reputation had not been very good, and it was said that he was a demon who escaped from the palace, so he was now full of confidence, and he wanted to continue trading with Westerners, and resolutely refused to agree to release Shen Qi.

Zhang Biao didn't want to set himself on fire, so he proposed a compromise solution and wanted to hand over Shen Qi and others to Haicheng County.

Liu Qian didn't understand what he meant, and asked angrily, "Master Zhang, are you scared?" ”

"Brother Liu Nian, think about it, Zhu Hui is very likely to escape, and that bull-nosed old man, maybe he will really go to Fuzhou to complain, the governor will come in two days, when the time comes, if we can't catch the fugitive Zhu Hui, but detain the merchant for no reason, I can't afford this crime." Zhang Biao replied worriedly.

Liu Qian smiled when he heard this, and said, "I don't care what Shen Qi and the others do, but I must not let them continue to trade with Westerners." ”

"Do you want to continue with that deal?" Zhang Biao asked puzzled.

"Of course, not only do you have to do it, but you have to do it well, isn't the governor coming? Let's do a good job to show him, it's definitely a fair deal, so that the Westerners are convinced, for this reason, you have to cooperate with me to play this play. Liu Qian replied.

"I said Liu Daguan, you are really confused, are you really a fool to be the governor? I can't play this play, I have to help you play it......"

Liu Qian interrupted Zhang Biao and asked angrily: "Zhai Yin, this kid, has not visited the dock since he took office, and even sent an official to summon me, how can I get him to cooperate with the acting?" ”

"Later, I will send someone to Zhai Yin to write an official letter, Shen Qi and his gang can let them take away, before the fugitive Zhu Hui is not brought in, they are not allowed to release people, in this way, the task of capturing Zhu Hui naturally falls on Zhai Yin's head, this is called wanting to capture the old man, and then set a deadline for him, if he can't catch the fugitive, I will even arrest him at that time, and it is useless to let the governor come." Zhang Biao replied viciously.

Liu Qian knew that Zhu Hui had saved Pang Shangpeng, and it was very likely that he had also gone to Fuzhou, so he asked worriedly: "But, Lord Zhang, have you thought about it, what if the governor protects Zhu Hui?" ”

At this time, Zhang Biao replied proudly: "It's easy to do, isn't Shen Qi in Zhai Yin's hands?" Let Zhai Yin explain to the governor, let's try our best to get rid of the relationship, during this period, you implement the trade with the Westerners as soon as possible, it is said that the merchant ships in the hands of the Westerners are from the hands of the governor, and they are given to the Westerners in some way, if you can really make the Westerners applaud, hehe, it really gives the governor a long face. ”

This idea is indeed very clever, and they no longer have any worries, so they immediately let go of martial law in the whole city and continue to arrest the fugitives Zhu Hui and Xuande Zhenren.

Xuande Zhenren and Zhu Hui did not dare to take the main road, dodged and dodged along the way, until it was nearly noon before they arrived at Yuegang, and when they were about to enter the city, they suddenly found that there were countless strong men in black wandering around, and then there were groups of officers and soldiers in and out, preparing for martial law, the two knew that it was not good, just when they were at a loss, a sedan chair with eight lifts entered the city, and the formation was more pompous than the travel of the Zhangzhou prefect.

So, Xuande Zhenren proposed to let Zhu Hui hide in Shaolin Temple, but he insisted on entering the city to protect Shen Qi, so he didn't stop him anymore, staring at Zhu Hui's distant back, and silently praised in his heart, this is a child who dares to shoulder morality with iron shoulders.

Xuande Zhenren had already made up his mind that he could only rely on his master to subdue a demon like Liu Qian, so the old man set off for Fuzhou immediately, regardless of the hardships of running around and working hard.

Zhu Hui was very worried about Shen Qi's safety, and quietly infiltrated Haicheng County, and found that the warehouse had been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and it was obvious that the people inside had been arrested. At this time, the streets and alleys were already under martial law, and on the road leading to the Hongmao Pavilion and the county yamen, there were officers and soldiers everywhere, and the strong men in black were holding pictures and pictures and were checking passers-by.

As a guilty body, Zhu Hui knew that they were all catching themselves, dodged into an alley, ready to find a place to hide, and was walking forward with his head down, feeling someone pat him on the shoulder, just about to resist, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say: "Chief Flag Officer, Lord Zhai sent me to pick you up." ”

Zhu Hui hurriedly turned his head and found that he had met this person in Haohai Tower, so he immediately relieved himself, bowed his head and said, "I'm causing trouble to Lord Zhai." ”

At this time, someone gave him a soap suit for the servants, Zhu Hui hurriedly put it on his body, wrapped a soap towel on the top of his head, took a water and fire G, followed the servants of Haicheng County, pretending to search and arrest along the street, just like that, he escaped the arrest of the officers and soldiers.

At this moment, the extremely anxious Zhai Yin was waiting for news from the county office, he couldn't judge whether Zhu Hui was a fugitive, and intuitively believed that this was an upright and kind young man, and he must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Liu Qian.

Someone brought Zhu Hui into the county office, Zhai Yin sent out the idle people, and asked quite sternly: "Zhu Gongzi, you tell the truth to the county, are you a fugitive from Jinyiwei?" ”

"Lord Qiqi Zhai, the fugitive can't be talked about, but he does leave the capital without saying goodbye......"

Before Zhu Hui finished speaking, Zhai Yin was shocked, and hurriedly called for two messengers to control him.

At this moment, Zhu Hui neither panicked nor resisted, he was held by two big men with his arms, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Lord Zhai, I don't hide it, I lost the suspect on the way to the next errand, and there is no charge of committing a J offense, only because the direct boss went to Japan, resulting in no one to try the Yamen of the Beizhen Fusi, so he was detained for a long time, during this period, because my uncle was framed and exiled to Liaodong, in order to save people, out of the sight of the supervisors, I gave the commander Liu Shouyou a letter to resign, about this matter, Beizhen Fusi's colleague Shi Shiyong, The governor is a huge person who can testify. ”

After listening to Zhu Hui's narration, Zhai Yin looked through the official letter sent by the commander of the Yamen, nodded and asked, "Zhuangshi, when you were in Nanjing, did you assist Master Hai of Yingtian to patrol the heavens?" ”

"Exactly."

"So, you once saved the Governor Massive?"

"This is the duty of the lowly office."

"After you came to Yuegang, have you ever visited the squire Liu Qian?"

"In order to prevent the business of Shen Daguan from being disturbed, I went to Liu's Mansion for a banquet last night, and I was given sweat medicine by that guy, but fortunately I was saved by Master Xuande Zhenren."

"Where is Xuande Zhenren now?"

"I went to Fuzhou to find Pang Shangpeng."

"What is the relationship between the huge man and Liu Qian?"

"I don't know, but the real master has full confidence and invites a huge number of people to come and hunt monsters."

"Liu Qian did evil in Yuegang, not for a day or two, and the huge people may not know it, but I don't know why Xuande Zhenren is so confident?"

"This matter is very strange, when I first met Liu Qian, I would not associate the bully in front of me with the cautious bookkeeper back then, after thinking about it, the reason why Liu Qian has no fear, there must be layers of protective umbrellas, plus the pirate Lin Feng has not been eliminated, constantly putting pressure on the governor's yamen, and the huge people are busy with military affairs every day, and they may not know about Liu Qian's crimes."

"It is said that this old Taoist is the junior brother of the Qin prisoner Wang Jin, and he is swaggering and deceiving everywhere." Zhai Yin suddenly aggravated his tone and asked sternly, "What is the relationship between you and Xuande Zhenren?" ”

"Yes, Xuande Zhenren has been ridiculous for most of his life, and he has met Elder Moon Sky since he met ......"

Before Zhu Hui could finish speaking, Zhai Yin's eyes widened and asked, "Which Moonsky Elder?" ”

"An anti-Japanese hero from the South Shaolin Temple."

Zhai Yin immediately stood up and asked in surprise, "So, where is Elder Moon Sky now?" ”

"The elder came to Yuegang with us, and in order not to disturb the government, he returned to the Shaolin Temple to stay for a few days."

"So, you also know Elder Moonsky?"

"Lord Qi Zhai, under the tutelage of the Moon Sky Elder to practice martial arts, as early as in Nanjing, has made a will, this life to follow his old man, across the ocean to the New World, to promote our Chinese civilization, and compete with Western missionaries."

After hearing this, Zhai Yin folded his hands, bowed to the sky, and read softly: "Thank you, God, I can still see Engong in this life." ”

"Could it be that Lord Zhai also knows the elders?" Zhu Hui asked.

"Yuegang as early as the Zhengde period (AD 1506-1521), has been rich on the one side, has the southeast of the small Suzhou and Hangzhou said, because of the prosperity and caused pirates and pirates and pirates to intrude, they robbed boats and goods, burned houses and killed people, and more Westerners occupied Huyu Island as a stronghold, seduced private traders to trade secretly, and did a lot of murder and goods. During the rebellion of the Qi family in Yuegang, they fought with the thieves for more than half a year, and got the assistance of the Shaolin monks......

The more they talk, the more speculative they become, it's rare to have such a fate! So, Zhai Yin decided to protect Zhu Hui, Zhu Hui was very worried about the fate of Shen Qi, Song He, Wanxi and others, so he sent people out to investigate, and in the evening, there was definite news, they were all arrested by Zhang Biao.

Although Zhai Yin and Zhu Hui were very worried, they didn't dare to act rashly, and only hoped that Xuande Zhenren could see Pang Shangpeng as soon as possible and get rid of Liu Qian, the demon.

Just when he was eating, he suddenly had a messenger to report, and found that there were a lot of scoundrels, and besieged the Hongmao Pavilion again, and seemed to be preparing to hold Western merchants hostage, which was a big deal for Zhai Yin, if something happened to them, causing Westerners to start a war, as the local magistrate, Zhai Yin couldn't eat and walk.

Zhai Yin immediately ascended to the court, gathered the three classes of officials, and wanted to go to the Hongmao Pavilion in person to relieve the siege, and suddenly, the gunshots rang out again at Hailong Wharf......

Zhu Hui found that there were not many servants in Haicheng County, so he could only take care of it, and he had already seen the way: the officers and soldiers did not dare to easily besiege the Hongmao Pavilion, and most of the people sent were local ruffians, and if something really happened in the future, they could blame the local official Zhai Yin; And Hailong Wharf was originally guarded by officers and soldiers, and when there was a conflict between the Western musket team and the officers and soldiers, Zhang Biao could justifiably go to suppress it.

Therefore, the top priority is to quell the conflict on the Hailong Wharf, as for the scoundrels besieging the Red Hair Pavilion, Zhu Hui thinks that it is enough for him to go alone, according to his judgment, maybe Liu Qian still wants to continue to trade with the Westerners, so neither the Red Hair Pavilion nor the dock will necessarily have an accident.

Zhai Yin resolutely disagreed with Zhu Hui's actions, he first sent a team of officers to Hailong Wharf to maintain law and order, and then prepared to go to the Red Hair Pavilion in person, at this moment, the chief flag officer of Jinyi Wei stationed in Yuegang sent an official letter, they arrested a group of suspects today, and now they will be handed over to the county yamen for disposal, let Zhai Yin personally go to pick up people, Zhu Hui knew that Shen Qi and others should be fine, and immediately relieved.

Wave after wave, Zhai Yin, who was very busy, did not have three heads and six arms, just when he was writing an official letter and preparing to go to the Jinyi Guard to pick up people, he suddenly found that Zhu Hui did not know where he went.

*********************************

The following is Mr. Purple Mango's review of the first half of the fourth volume in "Group Portraits Gather, Good and Evil Are Ships, Blue Waves Wash Ambitions":

In the fourth volume of "Tang Boat", there has been a certain degree of inhibition, and the time when the protagonist experiences the event, the limitations have been more obvious, which is also the situation that the growth of historical themes will inevitably encounter for the original characters.

As said in the article, the pirates have declined, the pirates have been flattened, and all the crises have been almost resolved, and in the process of resolving these crises, the various characters who have grown up and have made corresponding achievements have changed very much at this time, and the upheaval of a small role is mentioned in the article: "After listening to Zhai Yin's words, Zhu Hui really can't imagine that the cautious Liu account room of Nanjing Xingji Qianzhuang and the bully Liu Haozi and Liu Qian of Haicheng County, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, can't be contacted together anyway......"

Yes, one of the bookkeepers of the day has now become such a high-flying and temperamentally changed character, not to mention other characters.

Because of this kind of drastic change, it is the inevitability of the future development of the work, and many times, a work will present a situation that is out of control here. Fortunately, in the work "Tang Boat", based on the author's experience and creativity, the drawbacks brought about by the subsequent growth have been dealt with accordingly and appropriately.

First of all, it is reasonable to make appropriate arrangements for the Ming Dynasty plot that will be used as a backdrop in the future, and in this process, in the form of chance, the characters who meet the next stage of maritime adventure are selected, and then the corresponding crisis points are arranged, and then the maritime Silk Road is opened cautiously.

is also consistent with what is expressed in the text, only by going to a new adventure can we continue to extend the excitement. "The road is long, the wind and waves are still behind, and unknown dangers are coming to us at any time......"

In the wind and rain, above the stormy waves, what kind of legend will be written, everything, is a reasonable derivation without deviating from the entire convergence and closing plot.
