The third part of the dark war 23, greed causes disaster



Ling'er and Guo Yi had already understood Huang Bingwen's situation, and the two glanced at each other and nodded to each other.

"What are your plans for the future?" Ling'er asked.

Huang Bingwen straightened his hair and replied: "I don't have the face to go back to Daming, this is also to cut off all my thoughts, now, I just want to lose my hair and become a monk, but I will be alive, and practice the next life." ”

Guo Yi scolded: "Since you want to become a monk, why are you begging in front of the Christian church and embarrassing my Daming brocade guard!" ”

"Hehe, Guo Qianhu is angry, I was rescued from the island by a Western missionary, a few days ago, I also helped in the church, mixed food, because I don't understand the local language, after the Western priest left, the local priest kicked me out of the church." Huang Bingwen replied.

Guo Yi smiled and asked again: "Since it was the missionary who saved you, and you helped in the church, how could you think of becoming a monk?" ”

"I don't understand the scriptures that the missionaries preached, but I got into trouble in my hometown and took refuge in a monastery, but unfortunately I was young and ignorant, arrogant, and greedy for fame and fortune, and I was bent on getting promoted and getting rich, but I couldn't understand the Buddha's revelation to me, I lost my nature, and I did some things that hurt nature and reason; Now that I have realized that the church does not want me, I will become a monk and look forward to the next life. Huang Bingwen replied.

Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "There is a Taiheiji Temple (the temple of the Shimazu family) in Kagoshima, not far from here, so let's send you there." ”

Hearing that Ling'er said that he was going to send him to the temple, Huang Bingwen hurriedly lifted the copper plate and asked, "Thank you two thousand households for caring so much about me!" Don't you have any interest in those treasures? ”

Guo Yi and Ling'er both shook their heads lightly, and did not answer Huang Bingwen's words.

Huang Bingwen sighed and muttered: "I have been to Taiping Temple, but because I don't understand the local language, I was driven out by the monks there, alas......"

Looking at Huang Bingwen's meaning, it seems that he is still looking forward to something......

Ling'er said to Guo Yi: "Sister, take him back to Qiumupu Village, wait for Wen Tao to come back, and see if Wen Tao is willing to take him in." ”

Guo Yi nodded.

"Thank you for the grace of the two Thousand Households!" Huang Bingwen said, half-knelt up, and kowtowed to the two.

"Please don't call me Qianhu anymore, I'm no longer Jinyiwei." Ling'er said.

Guo Yi also said: "Come with us, as for the treasures in your mouth, you need to wait for Nanguangfang Wentao, Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren to come back and discuss it." ”

Huang Bingwen dragged one leg, stood up, and asked in surprise, "Xuande Zhenren, this bastard is also here?" ”

Guo Yi smiled: "Yes! Your enemies are all here, come with us, and get ready to be beaten first. ”

"Okay, just let them beat me, the harder I beat, the happier I am, and the more I can eliminate my sinful karma."

Huang Bingwen dragged one leg and followed Guo Yi and Ling'er to the entrance of Qiumupu Village, where he met Jingkong, Jingming Brothers and others who were patrolling.

The patrolling guards came to help, took the things in the hands of Ling'er and Guo Yi, and saw that they were followed by a beggar, and a few guards stopped Huang Bingwen.

Jingming was looking at the beggar carefully, opened his mouth wide in surprise, ran forward with his eyes wide, kicked Huang Bingwen to the ground, turned around and asked, "Two sisters, do you want to learn from Mr. Dongguo?" ”

Guo Yi smiled, pouted at the clear space, and did not speak.

Jingming stepped on Huang Bingwen's injured leg and scolded: "You dog, don't die yet!" What are you doing with my sister? ”

Huang Bingwen sweated out in pain, gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Only then did Jingkong shout: "Senior brother, you have to forgive and forgive people." ”

Jingming kicked Huang Bingwen over again, Huang Bingwen turned his back to the sky, closed his eyes tightly, and his teeth creaked.

"Senior Brother Jingming, don't forget the teachings of the elders, everything has Buddha nature, it seems that Huang Bingwen has repented, spare him." Ling'er said.

"I spared him? Zhu Hui, Song He, Zhang Gou'er, and Tang Daguan, can they spare him? If I spare him, and how many of them come back, they won't turn against me? Jingming said, and gave Huang Bingwen a few more kicks without reluctance.

Jingkong hurriedly came over and pulled Jingming away, and read: "Amitayus Shoufu, junior brother, since the two sisters brought him back, maybe they have their own intentions, and they must not be rude!" ”

"You don't need a bodhisattva's heart for this kind of person! I saw that the two sisters brought this bastard back, just to let me clean him up! Jingming said, pulled out the saber he was carrying, and prepared to end Huang Bingwen's life with one sword.

Jingkong hurriedly grabbed Jingming and pushed him aside.

At this time, Ling'er stepped forward and persuaded: "The rarest thing about being a man is repentance!" Now that Huang Bingwen has repented, let him be spared. ”

Only then did Jingming turn his head and shouted loudly: "Let me see that he has a little evil thought, kill him immediately!" ”

Afraid that everyone would cause unnecessary trouble when they saw Huang Bing, Ling'er asked for a clear space outside Qiumupu Village and found a small cabin for Huang Bingwen and let him live first.

Since they had already contacted the merchant ships heading to the Ryukyus, they were going to leave early the next morning, and they were afraid that Huang Bingwen would have an accident, so Ling'er and Guo Yi gave an explanation to the Jingkong and Jingming brothers, asking them to treat this down-and-out person well, and wait for Wen Tao, Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren to come back and then deal with it.

Ling'er and Guo Yi had dinner at home, and then went to the cabin outside the village to meet Huang Bingwen.

Huang Bingwen had just eaten something, and when he saw Guo Yi and Ling'er, he was so ashamed that he burst into tears, knelt down for the two of them again, and asked, "Two young ladies, aren't you interested in those treasures at all?" ”

Ling'er replied: "Since there are so many hidden weapons in the treasure cave, it is not easy to get these treasures, to be honest, we really didn't think about it. ”

Guo Yi glanced at Ling'er and asked, "Sister, Elder Yuekong has been running from Taicang to Japan for more than two years, do you know how many times they have traded with Matsuura Takanbu and Wen Jing and others from the Hedo Domain?" ”

Ling'er was stunned for a moment and replied, "This, I really haven't asked." ”

Guo Yi said: "Sister, let me tell you, with the support of the two money houses in Nanjing, the capital of no less than three million silver was used, and the Elder of the Moon Sky used the big boat of the Tang Jing family, full of silk, porcelain and other things of the Ming Dynasty, and ran back and forth eight times before saving less than one million taels of silver. ”

"Over the past year or so, nearly a million taels of silver have been almost spent?" Ling'er asked in surprise.

Guo Yi sighed and replied: "Build big ships, build docks, and build all kinds of equipment for long-distance voyages; Pick up the pirates rescued by Chong'er and give them the money for the journey; For more than a year, nearly 100 people have been sitting on the empty side, and in addition to the continuous wars in Japan, prices have risen wildly, and it is not easy to spend it now. ”

Ling'er listened to this, and thought to herself, even if we go to Ryukyu Shuri to build a trading warehouse, how many trips will we have to make from Ryukyu to Japan to earn so much silver!

Guo Yi saw Ling'er's thoughts, and asked: "Sister, doing business requires capital, with this little capital in our hands, I'm afraid we won't be able to make much money, not to mention facing risks such as robbers, typhoons, and shipwrecks, if we can find these treasures, it's good to fund Elder Yuekong to sail to sea, what do you think?" ”

Ling'er nodded and asked, "Huang Bingwen, which island are those treasures on?" ”

Huang Bingwen saw that they were moved, as if he realized his own value, and replied with Guan Zi: "It's a long story......

"Who left this treasure behind?" Ling'er asked.

Huang Bingwen shook his head and replied, "According to speculation, it should be Wang Zhi or Xu Hai's gang hiding on the island." ”

"Which desert island is it?" Guo Yi asked.

"It's too far away, in the south of the Ryukyus, that's the land of our Ming Dynasty." Huang Bingwen replied.

Ling'er and Guo Yi knew that Huang Bingwen was kidnapped to Japan by Lin Feng's remnants who were found by Chen Yuanhua, how could he go so far to hunt for treasures?

"You've been to the Ryukyus?" Guo Yi asked.

Huang Bingwen replied: "Yes, I was taken by Hu Jiuguan's bastard pirates, running from one desert island to another desert island off Kyushu, Japan, for two or three years, with nothing to gain, there was no way, so I went to Ryukyu to find the prince of Dongchang, and negotiated the conditions with the prince, Hu Jiuguan and others took the whole family from here to Ryukyu and made a hostage to the prince, and the prince told us the location of the treasure he mastered. ”

Ling'er pondered carefully, felt that something was wrong, and asked: "Since the treasure hiding place is so far away from Japan, how did you return to Japan after Hu Jiuguan and the others died?" ”

Guo Yi was also observing Huang Bingwen carefully, remembering that Huang Bingwen was in Beijing to make a big fuss at noon, which shocked the holy driver, and when the old prince of Chengguo was about to question him, he heard that he received a secret letter from the Ryukyu Kingdom to Dongchang.

The secret letter mentions: The treasures that Yan Shifan, Luo Wenlong and others transported to Japan were hidden on a desert island by the pirate Lin Yiguan who was exiled in the Satsuma Domain in Japan, and now the pirate Lin Yiguan died of illness in the Ryukyu Shuri, and his wife Luo Amin was shipwrecked in Japan and her whereabouts are unknown......

Guo Yi and Ling'er both knew these origins, and seeing that Huang Bingwen's eyes were not wandering, and he looked very sincere, they looked forward to hearing how he explained.

"Amitabha, Amitabha, Mazu Bodhisattva bless, thanks to that young Western missionary, if he had arrived one day late, I would have died on that island......"

Huang Bingwen showed a look of fear, remembered the Buddha, and saw that Ling'er and Guo Yi were listening carefully, so he talked about those terrifying experiences in detail......

It turned out that the prince sent by Dongchang to Ryukyu wrote a secret letter to the emperor in order to protect Lin Yiguan and Luo Amin.

The purpose of the prince's letter is, first, to convince the court that Lin Yiguan and Luo Amin are dead, and the pirates have broken up and should not be pursued further; the second is to show merit for himself, explain that he will serve the court again, and trace the whereabouts of the treasures that were transported overseas by traitors; The third is that the prince obeyed the orders of the great eunuch Huang Jin, and the Dongchang controlled by Huang Jin was at a disadvantage in the battle with the Jinyi Guard Yamen, which was commanded by Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, and wanted to secretly Yin Jinyi Guard, if Wang Chong, Guo Yi and others could not recover these treasures for the imperial court, even if they made great contributions, they would inevitably be held accountable by the imperial court!

When Huang Bingwen got this secret letter from Huang Jin's hands, he thought that he had mastered an unknown core secret, and gave up the attempt to use Luo Amin's promotion to make a fortune......

People are not as good as heaven! Huang Bingwen thought that he had caught all the witnesses who brought down Hai Jui, and when he returned to Beijing from Nanjing, he was kidnapped by Hu Jiuguan and others in the Yangtze River.

Knowing that he could not escape the clutches of pirates, Huang Bingwen had the idea of cooperating with Hu Jiuguan to find treasures, and the two sides negotiated the conditions, once these treasures were found, they were left to be dedicated to the Ming court, and the remaining two sides were divided equally.

When the imperial court sent Jinyi Wei across the sea to suppress bandits, before the great family Lin Yiguan escaped, all the treasures were secretly transported away, and the legend that there were countless treasures hidden in the castle of Akimeura, was plotted by those greedy daimyo in Japan, and caused a catastrophe to Akimeura, the castle was burned, and most people were killed.

Hu Jiuguan is also a small leader, he happened to go to sea at that time, and after returning to Qiumepu, Lin Yiguan's gang has been destroyed, but he did hear that those Japanese did not be able to grab any treasures in Qiumepu, and all the treasures were taken away by Lin Yiguan, the big boss.

Now, Lin Yiguan, the big boss's family, is dead, Luo Amin is missing, and the brocade guards who suppressed bandits back then have also returned to China. Therefore, when Huang Bingwen mentioned Lin Yiguan's treasures again, Hu Jiuguan really thought that this Jinyi Guard's senior official knew his whereabouts, so he took Huang Bingwen to Pingdo.

A group of them searched the islands near Hirado, but they couldn't find Lin Yiguan's treasure.

Then, I went to the desert island off Kyushu Island to look for it, and the little savings in the hands of Hu Jiuguan and others were not well spent, and the group slowly lost confidence and began to abuse Huang Bingwen and almost killed him.

Huang Bingwen was eager to survive, so he agreed to take them to Ryukyu to find the prince of Dongchang, and Hu Jiuguan and others were also desperate, so they agreed.

In fact, Huang Bingwen has lost confidence in treasure hunting, and after seeing Wang Gonggong, he took out the "golden signboard" that he was the godson of Huang Jin, the factory father, and asked Wang Gonggong to help, killed Hu Jiuguan and other pirates, and sent himself back to Daming.

But the prince didn't seem to buy it very much, and when he heard that they went to Japan to find Lin Yiguan's treasures, his nose was about to smile......

Huang Bingwen later learned that the prince had a great friendship with Lin Yiguan's uncle and the shopkeeper of Shuri Distillery, and Lin Yiguan did not die, but had changed his name to Lin Feng, and now there is still a lot of "power" in Nanyang, and the treasures hidden in the waters near Iki Island have long been transported away by them.

Guo Yi only now figured out that he and Wang Chong went to the Ryukyu Kingdom to hunt down Lin Yiguan, although those actions were strongly supported by the Ryukyu King and the cooperation of the government, but Lin Yiguan was always able to be like a fish in water in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and let him escape again and again......

Huang Bingwen was disappointed and was about to say goodbye to the prince and return to China, but the prince quietly told Huang Bingwen that he had mastered a little-known secret through years of secret visits: that is, when Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and other pirate leaders were recruited, in order to leave a way out, there were several desert islands south of the Ryukyus, and a large amount of treasure was buried, which was several times more than Lin Yiguan's treasures!

Wang Gonggong lamented that for so many years, he had not been able to find a suitable person to go treasure hunting, and now that Huang Bingwen is here, it is really suitable.

Huang Bingwen is tempted again, if you come, you will be safe, why not find that treasure, you can be promoted and make a fortune, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!

The prince gave Huang Bingwen a sea chart, and Huang Bingwen brought Hu Jiuguan and others over, and the prince asked this group of people to take all their family members from Japan to Ryukyu as hostages, and Huang Bingwen immediately took this group of people south from Ryukyu to the "desert island" to hunt for treasures......
