Although from the very beginning, Fan Jin arranged for people to monitor the dock, and was ready to severely punish the guys who dared to go to the boat to extort bamboo. But looking at the woman with bright eyes and bright teeth in front of her, and the waist card in her hand, her face was still a little embarrassed.

"No way, that's how being the boss is. It is impossible for all the people under him to be obedient, and there are always people who make their own calculations. Three knives and six holes can't be stopped, not to mention that it's just the official authority in the yamen. My people went to the docks to blackmail you, and you got caught, and I think this joke will make you laugh for a month. How is your Lin Fang's health, do you have it? ”

The woman looked at Fan Jin's eyes with a complicated look, and was silent for a moment before replying, "Lin Fang is pregnant with your child, and it will be born in a few months." If it weren't for that, she would have come on her own this time. She asked me to bring you a message and ask when Zhao'an's matter will be done? And ask when you will give her the name, she can't just have a child in vain. ”

Fan Jin said: "The matter of Zhao'an told her not to be in a hurry, now that I have just become an official, it is no good to mention the matter of Zhao'an." It would be more appropriate to wait until I am on my feet to do this. As for the name, it's the same, I have to talk about it after I get married, remember to tell you Lin Fang, I'm not the kind of man who doesn't admit it if I do it. Since she is pregnant with my flesh and blood, I will definitely give her an explanation. Dare I ask you what is the name of this leader? It looks very familiar. ”

"Pan Qiong!" The woman gritted her teeth and said her name, her eyes complicated.

Fan Jin suddenly said: "I remember, the daughter of the King of Good Wings." You...... Occupied? ”

The two met in the inner house, and they were not afraid of being seen, so they had the courage to ask. Pan Qiong nodded with a blank expression, "My brother is also the only bloodline in my family in the hands of Lin Fang, what if I don't join the gang?" Besides, Lin Fang's methods of controlling people are very powerful, and I admit that I can't refuse her orders right now. She asked me to accompany you instead of her, but I wanted to make a deal with you, and if you promised not to do that with me, I promised not to kill the catcher. He kept saying that it was your relative......"

Fan Jin interrupted her with a wave of his hand. "I don't trade this kind of thing, you Lin Fang this order...... I have nothing to say. Anyway, you don't want to do it, I don't force it. As for the man, you can lock him up for the first time, and do whatever you want with him, and remember to spare his life. Tell me, how did you end up in the tributary fleet? How many of your people are up there? ”

Seeing Fan Jin's promise, Pan Qiong finally let out a sigh, obviously she was not ready to sacrifice her body to the enemy who destroyed her own foundation and killed her own family. Not moving the knife when meeting is already a great restraint, and I don't want to do that kind of thing at all.

The lark of Luoshan, once cultivated by Lin Haishan, is now quite capable, although it has no technical skills, but its ability to deal with affairs is already very good. Without the worry of doing that kind of thing, her emotions could barely be calmed down, and she suppressed her anger to explain the situation to Fan Jin.

It was true that this fleet had been a Siamese envoy, and it was true that it had drifted to Leizhou in a storm, but that was before encountering pirates. In fact, before the storm, the fleet had already suffered a man-made disaster far more terrible than a natural disaster. A Spanish pirate attacked the fleet, killed the envoys, and took the treasure for themselves. But then it encountered a storm and fell to Leizhou's side. At first, it was not the Leizhou military guards who contacted them, but Lin Haishan's subordinates.

After a period of lurking, coupled with Fan Jin's allocation, the Lin fleet has barely recovered a little bit of vitality, and although the whole team is slightly less powerful than at the beginning, its strength is not weak. From Lingyunyi and the eighteen-shop merchants, they could trade materials and obtain military material support, and the strength of the troops developed rapidly. Now it is a very powerful mountain on the sea, and Lin Haishan also holds the power of the sea even during the period of recuperation.

These pirates were very obedient and did not want to fight by force, and generously paid protection money in exchange for peace. Lin Haishan took the opportunity to make a suggestion to these pirates: Do you want to come to Jiangning to trade and see?

The Siamese ships were full of ivory and sumac, which were good, but useless to pirates. What the pirates wanted was fine Ming silk to return to their own country to trade.

Although there is also silk to buy in Guangzhou, the price is high and the quality is inferior. Several of the merchants who did business with pirates were all ruthless people, and the prices were kept extremely low. What the pirates desperately got back was worth a penny in their hands. Lin Haishan's suggestion is naturally the best for these pirates, and there is no way to accept it.

Lin Haishan's price is not low, and she wants a large benefit fee, and the reward is to ensure their safety in Jiangning, and by the way, she must maintain long-term business contacts with them.

Fan Jin frowned and said, "These pirates are very bold? Dare to come to Jiangning once for this matter? Besides, they killed the tribute envoy, and they dared to appear under the banner of the tribute envoy, once they were found out, they couldn't even get rid of the Ling army. ”

Pan Qiong's hatred for Ling Yunyi was even deeper, and when she heard this name, her face showed a little disdain, but Lin Haishan was very useful to her training, and she still endured great discomfort and said:

"The officials of the court are very lazy, they can't tell the difference between Siamese and Franco, as long as you don't tell the truth, they can't know the truth. Besides, there were indeed Siamese people on their ship, and even if they had to be inquired, that person would be enough to deal with it. Where does your government have the interest to care about the authenticity of a few tribute envoys and merchants? ”

Fan Jin said: "What if the Siamese people report to the official? ”

"How did you get sacked when this fleet was looted? It was because of these Siamese people who colluded with the pirates and betrayed their masters, that the messengers died. How could they report it to the government? ”

"Then why did Ling Zhijun help you with this?"

"Money, what other reason. Business is business, and it is said that you said this in front of him. In fact, there have always been people in Guangdong who have been doing this kind of business. However, those people have no deep relationship with Ling Yunyi, and he can't share much money in this kind of business. So this time Lin Fang wanted to open a new road, and he was very supportive. The point is that he has to take a copy from it, and he can't take risks, your officials are so cunning! ”

Fan Jin didn't bother to argue with her about this kind of issue, how could it be wrong to destroy the enemy. He understands Pan Qiong's idea very well, but he can't support it.

Although the ivory wood on the ships of the tribute envoys was shown on official documents, it was no longer usable to be used by flooding or cut by knives, so they asked to be sold cheaply. In fact, according to Pan Qiong, the damaged tributes only accounted for less than 20% of the total number of goods. The remaining ivory and sumac wood are still intact. It's just that on the premise of promising Ling Yunyi a profit, these goods have become what they look like on the report.

For Lin Haishan, in addition to profits, the most important thing for this trade is to open a road. There are several merchants in Jiangning who are responsible for exporting silk and satin, and many of the silk in Guangdong come from Jiangning. This time, it is said that a big seller thought that these middlemen were too heavy and decided to change agents.

If Lin Haishan can get this agent qualification, it will be equivalent to controlling a dirty business route on the sea, and there will be no business opportunities in the future. Selling the silk of the Ming Dynasty through pirates, and then receiving them at a low price, is both profitable and prestige. The development of the old shipowner Wang Zhi was largely due to the monopoly of the dirty sales channel at sea. As long as this road is opened, Ling Yunyi will next start to crack down on smuggling and dirty sales in Liangguang, and finally leave only a private trade route under his control.

This kind of thing is highly profitable and risky, and Lin Haishan deliberately asked the Spaniards to explore the way, also just in case. Although most of the people who came, her minions were the majority, but the name of this fleet was borrowed from the trade negotiations, and even the person who negotiated business was a Francophone under her.

Seeing that she was meticulous in her work, Fan Jin was also relieved, after all, she was the mother of her own child, and she couldn't let her people go wrong. He asked who the person selling silk in Xia Jiangning was, but Pan Qiong himself didn't know very well. This person is very mysterious, and he is only sent out by his subordinates, and he does not show up. Even the silk sold is also designated by a few merchants, and they are bought from them, so that no one can find out the roots.

Fan Jin said: "How careful is this person, I feel that the number of roads is not correct, is it reliable?" ”

"Who will be reliable? But we are not easy to bully, he does business well, and we will accompany him. If he dares to mess around, we will kill him! ”

Pan Qiong's performance is also very charismatic, and the image of Luoshan Bailing in the past is no longer obvious.

Fan Jin said: "Since that's the case, then don't do it at all." There are many people in Jiangning who do silk business, and I will find a way to solve the matter of buying silk. ”

"No need." Pan Qiong shook his head and said: "There are many silk merchants, and there are many who can do business with the tribute envoys, but there are few who are brave enough to do business with pirates. Lin Fang asked them to come to Jiangning, just so that we could come and say hello to you, and by the way, see if you still have feelings for Lin Fang. Judging by your performance, you still have some conscience, and that's enough. As for business, you don't have to bother. Even if I'm hiding behind, you won't be able to show your face. ”

Pan Qiong's face was serious, "Lin Fang specially instructed, if you still remember the old love, it is my family's life talisman." Your relationship with Lin Fang is a secret here, and no one will know about it. If you really want to eat black, you can try to save some people. If you've been implicated in the first place, we've got no one to save you. Besides, our use of the Siamese Tribute Envoy identity this time is also a talisman. The government can't do anything to us, if it is tough, there are hundreds of people on our ship, and it is not for people to take care of it casually. ”

Fan Jin looked at Pan Qiong, this woman's words are not unreasonable, it seems that Lin Haishan has grown up very quickly, and she already has a bit of a dragon head. But when it comes to Pan Qiong, the reason why she refuses to accept her help, in addition to what she said, is it difficult to say whether she is also worried that she will be forced to repay her after accepting help.

The two feuds are finally settled, and she can't expect her to have a good face for herself. I thought she was either killed or given to a certain boss as a wife, but I didn't expect that now she is the leader herself. Fan Jin is not the kind of narrow-minded person, let alone thinking that he has to cut the grass and eradicate the roots to rest assured.

Lin Haishan is willing to use her, and she must be sure to restrain her. Besides, if Pan Qiong really couldn't be trusted, the government would have turned himself in and denounced himself at this time, and he wouldn't have come to see him. Since she has no problem, she doesn't have to worry about it, she just tells her to come to her own if she has anything, and reminds her who this business is doing with, and she must tell herself to avoid mistakes.

Pan Qiong Muran nodded, then said goodbye and left, and asked again before leaving: "That official is here to blackmail, but from what he knows, the people of Jiangning regard us as tribute envoys, so it is not a big deal." If you want him, I can arrange for his release right away without worrying about anything going wrong. ”

"As I said, as long as you don't die, nothing else matters. By the way, when Luo Shan was suppressed, his father was responsible for helping the officers and soldiers purchase non-staple food. ”

Pan Qiong didn't say a word and left.

The news of Hu Er's disappearance only began to react two days later. At first, everyone thought that he was either going to the ticket or gambling, but after his wife found out that he hadn't taken a penny, she knew what was wrong. ran to the yamen and cried, but then was frightened by several female bodyguards, and did not dare to go again.

Zhang Tiejian saw that something might be wrong, and he was perfunctory about the search, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and Fan Jin only thought that it hadn't happened. The other villagers probably knew in their hearts that Hu Er's disappearance might be related to Fan Jin, that is, the family affairs of the two of them, and it had nothing to do with other people. In these years, people have the understanding of not interfering in other people's family affairs, so they no longer care and only do their own business.

Needless to say, those who wanted to be quick catchers were also terrified by Hu Er's disappearance. Even his brother-in-law can do it, and others don't have much extra care. After all, everyone knows in their hearts, and the relationship between everyone is like that when they are in their hometown, it is far from a good standard. Whether it's out of my heart or not, I have to get up seriously this time, and in a short period of time, no one will think about making money anymore.

Pan Qiong didn't show up again since she came that day, until five days later, she was still dressed as a rich daughter and came to the county yamen again, but was told that Fan Jin was not there, but went to the women's school. After all, she came out of the primitive tribal form of Luoshan, and even if she was trained on Dayuan Island, she was only cultivated in terms of business ability, and she didn't know anything about things like a women's school.

Driven by curiosity, I asked the direction and took a sedan car.

This women's school is a folk courtyard repurpose, with dozens of small sedan chairs parked at the door, and the sedan chair drivers squatting on the wall chatting or smoking cigarette bags. There were more than a dozen rough mothers-in-law guarding the door, with angry eyes and frowning very frighteningly. Men only take one more look, and they will be scolded by them, and they will look like a wealthy slave from a wealthy family.

Pan Qiong's good silk clothes made the mother-in-law regard her as a student, and immediately changed her smiling face and greeted: "Miss, you are late, it would be good if you came earlier." Please come in, it's all already talking. ”

Talking?

Pan Qiong wondered in her heart and walked in, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry along the way, all of them were rough maids or mothers-in-law guards. When people were released at the gate, they didn't stop them, and let Panqiong come all the way inside. When I came to the door, I heard bursts of silvery laughter coming from inside, and the voice of a man.

The woman's face flushed slightly. In her impression, when men and women laugh together, it is definitely not a good deed. The heavily guarded place is Fan Jin's comfort zone?

Seeing that there was no one around, she quietly walked to the rear window, and the training she received under Lin Haishan also gave her a certain reconnaissance ability. Gently poking through the window paper and looking in, the situation in the room was not as ugly as she imagined the goblin fight.

Fan Jin was sitting with a group of young girls and was telling a story. Everyone was dressed in good condition, obviously they didn't do anything, they just listened to Fan Jin say: "Don't laugh, everyone, now let's continue, this story of Princess Huanzhu has just begun." ”
