Sun Yueling's heart was full of contradictions and was very entangled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you agree to their request, then you will have to share a boat with them from now on and become one of them, but in this way, you will disappoint Zhu Qinxiang's kindness, and even blame him; If they do not agree, the coastal trade will be chaotic, and countless people will become pirates.

The reason why Yu Zhigao was able to look down on him and come to him for talks was nothing more than to value his status as a deputy envoy to the procuratorate, and it was difficult to rely on one military officer to accomplish all the work in Jinghai Pingkou, and if there was the cooperation of the Yamen of the Imperial Envoy Department, he would inevitably get twice the result with half the effort. As long as the two sides can join forces, they may be able to firmly control the illegal trade along the coast, as they say.

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Yueling smiled and said, "What you just said is very reasonable, and this official is close to him. After a pause, the conversation changed, "However, this official has just arrived, and he doesn't know a lot about the situation, so he has to refer to it carefully." ”

Privately reached an alliance with Yu Shigao and others to control coastal trade, and the matter was very high, Sun Yueling did not dare to nod easily for a while, so he only tried to be vague in his eyes. After all, this is something that violates the laws of the imperial court, and it is not that he does not dare to do it, because perhaps only this is the most appropriate way to do it at present; But this was too sudden, and it directly disobeyed his boss Zhu Qinxiang, so he hoped to be able to slow down and make a decision.

Xu Xinsu couldn't help but said again: "If you can control the sea trade, just by collecting taxes, each ship can earn at least 1,000 taels, and in a few years, I'm afraid it will be nearly 10 million taels of silver......

This is the naked temptation, when he said this, everyone was silent, just wanting to hear how Sun Yueling responded.

Such a confidential matter, he actually said it in front of so many people, it seems that this Xu Xinsu has an extraordinary relationship with the people present. Sun Yueling didn't want to refuse openly, otherwise he might provoke their disgust, so he said, "Is it? That's a huge benefit, haha......"

After laughing for a while, he said, "It's better to be like this, let me think about it carefully, I can't say, he will sit down with you to drink tea and chat in the future, laughing and talking, haha......"

Hearing his vague statement, the look of disappointment in Yu Zhigao's eyes flashed, he glared at Xu Xinsu, and said: "Hugh wants to chew the root of his tongue, this kind of nonsense is also what our Ming courtiers can do?" Turning to Sun Yueling, he said with a smile, "Lord Sun wants to listen to his nonsense, this matter is just talking, without the approval of Lord Zhu and Lord Sun, how dare we do anything?" ”

Sun Yueling said with a smile: "The old general's words are serious, his words are serious, this official inspects Fujian, and he has to rely on the old general, and he will need more advice from the old general in the future." ”

Yu Zhigao smiled: "How dare you, Lord Sun is too modest." ”

Next, the topic of conversation shifted elsewhere, and there was no more talk of monopolizing maritime trade.

Sun Yueling was eating and drinking, thinking in his heart. Yu Zhigao, Xu Xinsu and others are locals, who have been in business for many years, and they can be said to have deep roots, even if they disagree with their opinions, they can't be offended at this time. Because he is just an outsider official, if he wants to make achievements in office, he will inevitably have to rely on them.

Besides, what they say is not untargeted, nonsense, if they can really control the private trade along the coast, it may not be a good thing, at least those who become pirates will be greatly reduced, and the traders will not have to fight each other for profit.

Therefore, he didn't say it very much, maybe one day, he Sun Yueling may really cooperate with them.

As the night grew darker, the feast finally came to an end.

After everyone dispersed, Sun Yueling and Dongfang Shengping walked into the still lively Nanhou Street, and walked all the way to see it, so comfortable.

Suddenly, a carriage came from behind, stopped beside them, and one of them lifted the curtain and shouted, "Lord Sun." ”

Sun Yueling looked back, but it was Li Dan who was at the banquet just now, and he was surprised in his heart, why did he find him at this time, could it be that Yu Zhigao still didn't give up, and asked him to persuade him?

"What?" Sun Yueling said to him.

"Please also ask the adults to get in the car, and there is something to ask for below." Li Dan looked at him with a sincere face and expectation.

Sun Yueling frowned, and finally boarded the carriage. If Yu Zhigao really asked him to persuade himself, I am afraid it will backfire, but looking at this Li Dan's appearance, it seems that there is something else going on, since he has eaten at the same table, it is naturally difficult to ignore it at this time.

As he sat in the brocade-covered carriage, the coachman shouted, and the carriage moved slowly. Dongfang Shengping and several of Li Dan's subordinates could only follow behind on foot.

The curtain was removed, and only half of the window was opened, and the cold moonlight and the lights of the street shone in, illuminating the situation inside.

Li Dan's round face trembled twice, as if he was unable to speak, and finally made up his mind, and said to him: "My lord, I am here to ask for a favor from my lord." ”

Sun Yueling was surprised for a while, and said lightly: "You say." ”

Li Dan cautiously said to Sun Yueling: "Dare to ask your lord, did you capture a group of pirates a few days ago, one of them is called Zheng Yiguan?" ”

Sun Yueling's heart was dark, and he said, "Not bad." "Those captured pirates were all imprisoned, and according to the prosecutor's envoy, the Yamen was agreeing on the crime and preparing to punish him, but I don't know why Li Dan in front of him suddenly asked about it.

Li Dan sighed heavily and said, "Don't hide it, this Zheng Yiguan is the righteous son of the next." ”

"Oh?" Sun Yueling was surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Li Dan was actually Zheng Yiguan's father-in-law. Zheng Yiguan was born as a pirate, although Li Dan in front of him was nominally a maritime merchant living in Japan, but most of the people engaged in maritime trade at that time were also merchants and thieves, presumably even if this Li Dan was not a pirate, he must have an extraordinary relationship with pirates.

Li Dan said again: "The dog mistakenly made a friend of the bandits, and he actually formed a gang with Yan Siqi and other thieves, which really makes me sad." However, my son, who has always been kind-hearted and peaceful, must have been coerced and instigated by the thief to plunder the coast with those thieves. After that, he lifted the brocade couch, took out a one-foot-wide wooden box from below, opened it to Sun Yueling, and said with a sneer, "Be careful, don't pay respect, and hope that the adults will be fulfilled." ”

Sun Yueling saw that this wooden box was full of golden nuggets, not to mention twenty yuan, which was worth a lot of money.

He couldn't help but turn a cold face and said to Li Dan: "Boss Li, what does this mean?" ”

Li Dan smiled and said, "Please let my son go, and I will be strictly disciplined in the future, and I will never let him do anything that hurts nature and reason." ”

Sun Yueling snorted coldly and said, "Zheng Yiguan, as a pirate, has repeatedly robbed the merchants' goods, and his crimes are extremely heinous, how can he let them go at will?" As a deputy envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate, how can this official accept your gold and silver in vain, so where is the law of the court? ”

He scolded so violently that Li Dan was speechless. What Sun Yueling and Fang Cai saw at the banquet in front of him seemed to be like two people, but with such a momentary effort, they turned their faces and didn't recognize people.

Li Dan's face was full of embarrassment, and Ai Ai said: "This ...... My lord...... I hope that adults will fulfill ......"

Sun Yueling ignored him anymore and shouted, "Stop." He jumped out of the carriage and headed to the side.

On the carriage, Li Dan, whose face was full of embarrassment and had turned into anger, looked at Sun Yueling's back and walked away, and a sentence popped out of the corner of his mouth, and said hatefully: "Good for you, you are an honest and honest Lord Sun......"

On the way back to the post house, Sun Yueling pondered in his heart.

Although in the original history he learned, Zheng Yiguan would become a pirate recruited by the imperial court in the future, and the power was tilted to one side, but this did not mean that he could be released privately now. Besides, he has no reason to release Zheng Yiguan privately, if he is released rashly like this, how will the people in the yamen think of him, and will he still be in charge of the entire Yamen?

Since Zheng Yiguan is now planted in his own hands, it is considered unlucky for him. As for how history will develop in the future, and what will be the fate of Zheng Yiguan, all this will be left to God to judge.

After entering the gate of the post house, Dongfang Shengping, who had been following behind him, suddenly said: "My lord, tomorrow at noon, the master of the Aotianmen Gate will be proud of Fuyong, do you see it or not?" ”

Sun Yueling was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it, did this Ao Fuyong make an appointment with me?" "There's been so much going on lately, he's been so busy all day that he doesn't remember it.

Dongfang Shengping muttered: "My lord is now in charge of everything, what a noble person forgets." ”

Sun Yueling smiled bitterly and said, "Dongfang is undefeated, you kid now dares to make fun of your family, and you have grown up." ”

Dongfang Shengping sneered: "How dare you, I still have to learn from you, my lord." ”

Sun Yueling snorted and said, "It's good if you understand." "Lift your legs and go forward.

Aotianmen is one of the four major merchant families in the world, and it is an out-and-out Fujian merchant. Now Sun Yueling does not know anything about these things as before, and under his intentional inquiry, he learned that because of the raging sea disasters along the coast, Aotianmen has been getting worse and worse in the past few years, and has become the weakest of the four major Shang clans.

The door master Ao Fuyong was born with a sick physique, and he couldn't learn martial arts, otherwise there would be no dispute between his two uncles, Ao Canghai and Ao Tianxing. After failing to compete for the position of the master of the door that year, Ao Canghai needless to say, he has since joined the Donglin Gate and has become Ye Xianggao's personal guard; And Aotianxing finally failed to become the master of the door, and gave up the position of the master of the door to their eldest brother's son Ao Fuyong, who never cared much about the affairs of Aotianmen, and it is said that he was obsessed with the woman of the Qinglou and couldn't stop.

Therefore, in the case of losing the two pillars, Aotianmen is getting bleaker and bleaker, and its reputation in the rivers and lakes is getting weaker and weaker. If it weren't for Xu Xinsu, the helmsman of Quanzhou, who had managed effectively in recent years and supported the overall situation, Aotianmen would probably have been removed from the rivers and lakes.

Thinking of tomorrow or seeing the Ao Tianxing and Sister Juan who were in a hurry back then, Sun Yueling felt that the world was changeable.

Back then, he was just an ignorant scholar with no name in Jinling City, but now, he wants to meet them as the deputy envoy of Fujian.

The world is impermanent. (To be continued.) )
