After finishing dinner, he quietly called Su Ba into a guest room, Zhang Gou'er took out a map of Japan's sea area, and asked with a face full of resentment: "The fake map you gave to Ma Gongzi, where did you mark the location of Xu Hai's hidden treasure?" ”

So, Su Ba pointed to a series of islands off the coast from Satsuma to Hizen, and replied by comparison: "Probably in this sea area." 【Latest chapter reading. 】”

Zhang Gou'er was taken aback, and when he heard that Lin Feng had hidden the wealth that Yan Shifan had brought from him on an isolated island in this sea area, he glared at Su Ba fiercely for a while, looking at him straight hair.

"May I ask Mr. Zhang, is there anything wrong with this?" Su Ba asked.

Zhang Gou'er gasped, shook his hand and slapped him: "What kind of heart do you have?" ”

"Zhang Gongzi is angry." Su Ba covered half of his face and explained: "The reason why I did this is actually very meaningful. You know, I was kidnapped by Hu Jiuguan and others to Japan, just to find the wealth in Lin Feng's hands, I searched for five years in this sea area, but I found nothing, I believe that Lin Feng has his own merits, therefore, no one wants to find it, they can find it. ”

"So, what do you mean?" Zhang Gou'er asked loudly.

"Maybe on these isolated islands, there is no money that Yan Shifan shipped at all......"

Before Su Ba finished speaking, the angry Zhang Gou'er immediately interrupted him: "Before Lin Feng fled back to Ryukyu from Owari Province, he personally went to the sea to dig up 300,000 taels of silver and gave it to the monkeys. ”

Su Ba was slightly amused, shook his head and asked, "May I ask Childe, when you lived in Qiumepu in your early years, did you know Hong Zhenren?" ”

Zhang Gou'er was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a while, and seemed to have heard his father say that there was such an old way, but he only heard his name, but he had never seen him, and when he heard Su Ba ask about him, he first shook his head, and then nodded.

So, Su Ba continued: "Back then, Yan Shifan transferred his family property overseas, and it was this mysterious Hong Zhenren who was in charge of escorting, and the reason why Hu Jiuguan and others believed me was precisely because I knew the details of Hong Zhenren. In fact, this is also after the fall of Yan Shifan, the clues that he had when he secretly interrogated the housekeeper Yan Xi, what is strange is that after I arrived in Japan, I asked around about the whereabouts of Hong Zhenren, everyone was the same as Hu Jiuguan, only heard of his name, and never saw this person, but it is said that he had left with his own fleet a long time ago, and no one knew where he went, so I suspect that Yan Shifan's money was transported by him. ”

She got the news from Luo Amin that the huge amount of gold and silver was still hidden off the coast of Japan, but she didn't know where it was hidden, so Zhang Gou'er asked: "If it wasn't transported away by Hong Zhenren, and it was hidden on some isolated islands in that sea area, wouldn't it be okay for you to do this?" ”

"Hehe, Zhang Gongzi, how much do you think that Ma Gongzi and Xiaoxi Xingchang and others can be better than Zaixia?" Su Ba asked, squinting his eyes and smiling slightly.

"If they keep looking for it, they will be found sooner or later." Zhang Gou'er said and sighed.

"Your aunt, Guo and Xu, the two girls, all hope that Lin Feng can donate these gold and silver to Elder Moon Sky to form a huge ocean-going expedition team and cross the ocean to the New World to compete with Westerners, do you think Lin Feng will agree?" Su Ba asked.

Zhang Gou'er shook his head and replied, "According to my judgment, it is absolutely impossible. ”

"Now that Lin Feng and the others are entrenched in Luzon, if no one can restrain him, sooner or later he will have to cause a catastrophe, do you have any good way to subdue Lin Feng?" Su Ba continued to ask.

Zhang Gou'er, who was full of helplessness, shook his head again and replied, "Unless he is imprisoned again, he may not be able to hand over this money." ”

"So, what would happen to someone if he went to dig up these treasures?" Su Ba then asked.

"When Hu Jiuguan and the others took you around to dig, after he heard about it, he didn't care about it at all."

"Hehe, Lin Feng should know very well that Hu Jiuguan and I don't know the art of hiding treasures at all, so he can look on coldly and even disdain. So, if you take the treasure cheats left by Xu Hai, what will Lin Feng's attitude be? ”

At this time, I only heard someone outside the door say: "Eighth Brother Su did a good job!" Maybe only in this way can Lin Feng turn back. ”

As soon as the words fell, Luo Amin pushed the door and walked in, and Su Ba and Zhang Gou'er stood up at the same time.

Luo Amin said, "Let's go, the stirrups are here and waiting for you." The three of them returned to the living room together, only to see Guo Yi and Xu Linger chatting with the stirrups.

Maybe now the stirrup already knows what Su Ba has done, and as soon as he saw Su Ba, he immediately got up and said respectfully: "The junior greeting to meet the chief of the execution, there is something inconsiderate in these days, please do a lot of Haihan!" ”

"You're welcome." Su Ba hurriedly returned the salute and replied humbly: "There is no such thing as a criminal officer here, Su is just a beggar who is innocent of death." ”

Xu Ling'er said: "Brother Su, Governor Konishi and others have been looking for you in Naha Port for a whole day today. ”

"Did Ma Gongzi look for me?" Su Ba asked.

"He has also been there, but he has not met with President Konishi and others." The stirrup replied.

"It seems that they are all impatient, so I'll go, if they don't see me tomorrow morning, they will really come to the winery to make trouble."

Regarding the treasure map forged by Su Ba, Zhang Gou'er was still not at ease, and asked, "Will you take that treasure map to Japan?" ”

Su Ba smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Do you think that Ma Gongzi is a vegetarian?" ”

"Then why did you follow Yukinaga Konishi and the others to Japan?" Zhang Gou'er asked.

Su Ba replied: "Hehe, Ma Gongzi regards that picture as more important than life, and treats people who can help him find treasures more than his own father." Although I asked Konishi Yukicho and others to say that they were merchants from Hirado and had the convenience of treasure hunting, to be honest, Ma Gongzi may not be able to trust them, so I will take the initiative to help Ma Gongzi and go to Hirado first, and once I find that they do not have the ability to hunt for treasures, I will send him a letter to Ryukyu and then continue to contact the treasure hunters with strength. ”

"Does Lord Sangkook know about this?" Stirrups asked cautiously.

"I'm sure Ma Liangbi doesn't know, listening to his son, this old guy doesn't have a lot of money, and after becoming the prime minister, the expenses are even greater, in addition to taking advantage of Naha Port and Shuri Castle, it seems that he has the idea of the Lin family's shochu shop." Su Ba replied.

The Luo sisters were shocked when they heard this, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er were all judging, did Wang Gonggong really have a problem?

"It's a matter of urgency, who can contact the prince?" Zhang Gou'er asked loudly.

"My brother and I have tried all kinds of methods, but we haven't heard from us so far." The stirrup replied helplessly.

For so many years, the stirrup and saddle brothers have been secretly obeying the orders of the prince, and they have lost contact, which shows that the fate of the father-in-law is more auspicious. At this time, Guo Yi suddenly remembered one thing, when she and Wang Chong came to Ryukyu for the first time, they had just stayed in the National Post House, and someone stuffed a note through the crack in the door, so that they could not implicate the royal family in any case, maybe at this time, it was time to go out in person.

Thinking of this, Guo Yi said: "You don't have to worry, tomorrow I will enter the palace to meet King Shangyong in the name of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfusi, and I will definitely be able to contact the prince." ”

Su Ba shook his head and replied: "However, King Shangyong is still a child, all the power is in the hands of Queen Ma, and Ma Liangbi is the queen's younger brother, if the prince loses power in the palace, the concubine Niangniang, who has been painstakingly cultivated by the father-in-law, will also be in trouble, and being beaten into the cold palace may be the best ending, therefore, please Guo Qianhu must be cautious and not easily play all the hole cards." ”

"So, may I ask Brother Su what good advice does he have?" Xu Ling'er asked.

"Since the news in the palace is so tightly blocked, then you might as well wait for Ma Liangbi to make the first move, and the two thousand households will deal with Ma Liangbi, and you can also take the opportunity to test whether he has any collusion with the Japanese, Zhang Gongzi came forward to deal with Ma Gongzi, in the name of continuing to hunt for treasure, control him in his hands, I will entangle Konishi Yukicho and others in Japan, and I will never let him come to Ryukyu to make trouble again, what do you think?" Su Ba asked.

"That's great!" Guo Yi nodded and replied: "We must not let the hard work of the prince be in vain, let alone let the Ryukyu regime fall to the Japanese, if the political situation in the Ryukyus is stable, we can take over the merchant group of the Elder Moon Sky as soon as possible, and build an ocean-going base in Naha Port in the future." ”

At this time, Su Ba took out the portrait he had drawn yesterday, handed it to the stirrup, and asked, "Lord Tiju, have you ever seen this person?" ”

The stirrup looked at it carefully for a long time, as a native of Naba, after running the rivers and lakes for so many years, he still didn't recognize who this person was, so he raised his head and asked, "May I ask who this person is?" ”

Zhang Gou'er asked for this portrait, handed it to Luo Amin, and asked: "Auntie, when I was in Qiumepu before, everyone had heard the legend about Hong Zhenren, but we haven't seen it, do you see if this is Hong Zhenren?" ”

"Our sister was sent to Akimepo by Hong Zhenren, so it's certain that this is not Hong Zhenren." Luo Amin replied.

Su Ba handed this picture to Guo Yi and said: "Although the origin of this person is unknown, I believe that he has a direct relationship with the prince, the concubine, and Mrs. Wang Cuiqiao, therefore, he will not leave Ryukyu easily, please pay more attention, after finding him, you will be able to uncover all unsolved mysteries." ”

mentioned Wang Cuiqiao, the Luo sisters were immediately ashamed, which made them the most uneasy, I don't know how the concubine would treat Luo Wenlong's descendants?

After a moment of silence, Su Ba smiled slightly and asked, "Have you ever thought that if Concubine Zheng's handle is in Ma Liangbi's hands, will she fall to the Ma family and his son, and it will be detrimental to the prince?" ”

Regarding this issue, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er haven't thought about it, if it is not impossible for Concubine Niangniang to assassinate the princess for her own status, and if such a situation really occurs, how should they deal with it?

Finding that everyone was silent, Su Ba stared at Luo Amin and asked, "May I ask Madam, do you know why Lin Feng was able to escape from Tongdu Temple in North Korea?" ”

"I heard that it was the past Ryukyu merchants who proved that Lin Feng was just the shopkeeper of the sake brewery outside Shuri City, and he was plotted against for offending people, so Elder Jingcen of Tongdu Temple released him." Luo Amin replied.

"Guo Qianhu, you should know, right?" Su Ba then asked.

"I heard that it was the Ryukyu envoy * who forced Elder Jingcen to release Lin Feng." Guo Yi replied.

Su Ba hurriedly asked, "So, who is this Ryukyu envoy?" ”

"Could it be Ma Liangbi?" Xu Ling'er asked in surprise.

So, Su Ba slapped his face and replied quite excitedly: "Yes, after releasing the Qin prisoners of the imperial court, causing Lin Feng to escape from North Korea, he caused such trouble to the imperial court, what should I be guilty of?" ”

"How can you prove that it was Ma Liangbi who released Lin Feng?" Guo Yi asked.

"About this matter, I have tried the hornet's nest, in fact, their father and son have long coveted the Lin family shochu shop, which is because of the taboo of the prince, but recently, everyone has lost contact with the prince, the hornet's nest wants to start, whether this is the acquiescence of the concubine, I don't know, but Ma Liangbi tried his best to stop it, let his son wait a few days to say, but the hornet's nest is young and vigorous, ready to start, his father has to tell the truth, because he has done a foolish thing in North Korea, worried that someone in the Lin family shochu shop knowsTherefore, the hornet's nest is considered to be stopped. ”

Hearing Su Ba's words, the Luo sisters couldn't help but tremble, once the Ma family came forward to fight for this winery, their sisters would have no place in this world.

So, Guo Yi nodded and replied, "Please rest assured, Brother Su, we know how to deal with it." ”

Su Ba then reminded: "In this matter, there is another key witness, that is, the nominal maiden family of the concubine Niangniang, the old minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shi Zheng Zhen, when the time comes, once Ma Liangbi does not admit it, we must try to * force the chief Shi Zheng Zhen to come forward to testify, and he will be able to subdue the Ma father and son." ”

With a countermeasure, the Luo sisters relaxed a little, and couldn't help but be in awe of Su Ba, he really deserved to be a high-ranking official of the Jinyi Guard!

Before I knew it, it was late at night again, the stirrups were leaving, Su Ba and Zhang Gou'er were also going to the Naha Port Warehouse, and tomorrow morning they would introduce Zhang Gou'er to President Konishi and Mafengwo and others, so that he could take over and deal with Mafengwo in the future, and Su Ba went to Japan and didn't plan to come back.

Su Ba went to Japan to be more auspicious, Guo Yi and Xu Linger were deeply moved, in order to practice for him, they decided to accompany them to Naha Port, and the Luo sisters sent everyone out of the village with tears......
