"I don't know if Zhu should call you Liang Shao? Or should I call you Mr. Liang, the chief soldier? After sitting down again, under Chen Tianbao's explanation, Zhu Kui, who knew Liang Pengfei's identity, couldn't help but say sarcastically.

"Brother Zhu is annoyed that Liang has let Brother Chen hide from you for so long, and he also asked him to persuade you to leave Fujian and Zhejiang and escape to the South Seas? If this is the case, Liang asked Brother Zhu for the crime, but Liang sent someone to say that your brother Zhu Lian and Cai Lian at least showed my Liang Pengfei's attitude, if you are my friend, then, please accept my help. Liang Pengfei didn't care about Zhu Kui's annoyance, this kind of battle of words didn't mean much, besides, he did hide a lot of things from the other party, and it was normal to have a few complaints.

When Zhu Kui heard Liang Pengfei's words, he couldn't help but fall into silence, but a sturdy man standing behind him stood up: "Young Master Liang, since you have said so, then the little one really has a problem, do you want our Zhu family to serve you?" Or do you want our Zhu family to accept Zhao'an? ”

Hearing this, Liang Pengfei couldn't help laughing: "If it was two months ago, you wanted to recruit An, maybe there was a real chance, at that time, your uncle and second master might really be able to become officials of the court, but now, even if you really want to accept Zhao'an, do you think they will be willing to recruit Wu Lana, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the admiral Zhao Chengwan?" ”

"But if we ...... to the Governor of Liangguang," the sturdy man couldn't help but argue when he saw Zhu Kui's somewhat gloomy face.

"I can only send you three words: impossible. If before, maybe it can be said that you were threatened by Cai and helped him to abuse, but at that time, you didn't force the court too urgently, and you supported the army to respect yourself, maybe the court would show mercy at that time, but now, the Fujian Navy Division made you mess up, lost thousands of people, several generals, and how many officials in Fujian and Zhejiang were implicated because of this matter, which is related to the face of the court, as well as the reverse scale of Qianlong, who has the best face. ”

Liang Pengfei glanced at Na Zhu Kui and continued: "Now, your strength has been damaged and you have been driven away in a hurry, and the Fujian and Zhejiang sailors are waiting to take your heads to report to the emperor to eliminate the past and let Qianlong calm down his anger. Or kill you, exchange your heads for the favor of Fujian and Zhejiang officials and the emperor, which method is more profitable? ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The strong man was speechless, and the right-hand man who could be sent by Zhu Wei to assist his second brother was naturally not a fool, Liang Pengfei's thorough analysis made him no longer find a trace of reason and argument to refute.

"Naturally, it is more profitable to take the heads of our brothers to report the victory. Liang Shao is worthy of being a figure who dares to mingle in the court officialdom, and his words solved the confusion in Zhu's heart, and also broke the last trace of thought in Zhu's heart. Zhu Kui gave Liang Pengfei a fist salute with a bitter face. I wonder what Liang Shao is going to do with my brother and his brothers? ”

"Brother Zhu, don't say such things, Liang has only heard that your Zhu family was originally a well-known wealthy family in Yunxiao, Fujian Province, and not only has a large amount of land in the Yunxiao area, but even a mine, but who would have thought that more than ten years ago, the mine was confiscated by the prefect of Zhangzhou Prefecture. If, I mean, if I let you stay in the waters of Fujian and Zhejiang and continue to do your maritime business, would you be willing? Liang Pengfei stood up, paced a few steps in the cabin, and then turned to Na Zhu Kui and asked.

"This ......" Zhu Kui's eyes lit up at first, and then his face flashed bitterness. But now, the names of my two brothers have become famous all over the world. ”

"This is true, but, it doesn't matter, I can give you a new identity, in the name of Guangdong Hailianxing to continue to do maritime business, business income, Liang does not want a certain point, I only ask you, help me collect intelligence in Fujian and Zhejiang, and I know that although Fujian is close to the sea, it is not as good as Zhejiang, Fujian is mountainous, and the people work hard but often have difficulty in food and clothing, often in order to survive, people have to resist the court, or flee the sea for pirates, or move to Taiwan or other places. I hope you ......," Liang Pengfei whispered in Zhu Kui's ear.

Zhu Kui listened for a long time, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Liang Shao, I really don't understand, what are the benefits of you doing this?" ”

Liang Pengfei smiled and didn't answer Zhu Kui's question, but just asked: "How is it, are you willing to cooperate with me?" ”

"Such a big temptation, if Zhu doesn't agree, then he is really a fool, but, why are you doing this?" Zhu Kui repeated his question very persistently, because the conditions thrown by Liang Pengfei were really tempting to the extreme, but often there were poisonous snakes hidden near the attractive fruit, and Zhu Kui knew this truth very well.

Just then the sailor outside stuck his head out and came in again. "Someone's coming our way."

Liang Pengfei looked out of the window of the cabin, saw Sun Shijie's hurried figure, turned his head and patted Zhu Kui's shoulder, and said sincerely: "There is only one reason, because you are all Han like me." With that, he turned and walked out of the cabin. I'll give you time to think about it, but it's better not to go beyond tomorrow. In addition, I will tell you a piece of news, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang has already ordered Liang to lead the army into Fujian to suppress thieves! Although the order has not yet arrived, I think it is a matter of the past two days. ”

Looking at the back of Liang Pengfei hurrying away, Zhu Kui didn't know what to say for a while, and Chen Tianbao, who was signaled by Liang Pengfei to stay, looked at Liang Pengfei's back, and there was eagerness in his eyes. "Liang Shao is right, I am also Han."

"Liang Shao, what does this mean? I also hope that Brother Chen will solve Zhu's doubts. Zhu Kui turned his face to look at Chen Tianbao and said earnestly.

"Say a bad word, Chen Mou, as the governor of the Xishan Dynasty Naval Army, a super master, and 30,000 sailors under his hands, if Liang Shao takes me to make meritorious contributions, you say, and than take your brother to ask for merit, Liang Shao can be more reused and rewarded by the court?" Chen Tianbao sighed and sat back in his chair.

"This ...... Naturally, it's Brother Chen. Zhu Kui blushed a little, the meaning of Chen Tianbao's words is already self-evident, although the Zhu family can be regarded as a famous pirate, but compared with the former governor of Annan Xishan Dynasty and Water Master in front of him, it is really like an elephant and a soil dog, which is not comparable at all.

"But do you know why I am willing to serve Liang Shao, and even those brothers under my command are willing to work for him, even if we can't get an official and a half knight from Liang Shao's hands now, we are willing?" Chen Tianbao raised his head and glanced at the people in the cabin.

"Go down, all of you." Zhu Kui comprehended and let his henchmen leave the cabin and walked to the position next to Chen Tianbao and sat down.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"My lord, according to your instructions, the people sent by Hailianxing, Tongfu Xing, and Yichengxing have already arrived, and are ready to set up shops and liquor stores here, and in addition, the housekeeper of Yongdaotai has sent a message to his wife, Wu Lana, according to your instructions, that the people of Lin Shuangwen in Taiwan have withered, and they hope to relocate the displaced people to fill Taiwan. In addition, Luo Fangbo, the general manager of the Lanfang Republic, had already arrived at Dagou Port, saying that he had something important and wanted to see an adult. After Sun Shijie saw Liang Pengfei walking down from the boat, he stepped forward and lowered his voice to tell Liang Pengfei the news he had just received.

"Hmm, Luo Fangbo is actually here?" Liang Pengfei scratched his scalp. "There shouldn't be any movement over there in the South Seas."

"I received the news some time ago that everything is fine in the central Luzon Islands on the other side of the South Seas, but the Dutch in Borneo are not very quiet during this time, and the pirates are becoming more and more arrogant about Borneo." Sun Shijie's words made Liang Pengfei frown.

"Said your grandmother, the matter on Lao Tzu's side has not been dealt with yet, and the Dutch are looking for the ballast of Lan Fangguo, tsk, tsk, I really know how to pick a time, let's go, go and meet President Luo." Liang Pengfei sighed, glanced back at the merchant ship, Chen Tianbao has not come out yet, it seems that he should be able to talk deeply, he didn't get Cai Lian, but he got Zhu Li, it seems that the effect is better for his future arrangement.

Lose the east corner, harvest the mulberry elm, this is not bad. Cai Lian, Cai Lian, it seems that you can only blame your fate. Liang Pengfei shook his head and left the dock directly.

"Luo Fangbo, see Lord General Soldier." As soon as Liang Pengfei stepped into the front hall, he saw that Luo Fangbo greeted him and saluted him respectfully.

"Hurry up, don't be like this, you and my uncle are always friends, there is brotherhood, you do this, but you are burying the little nephew, if it reaches my uncle's ears, I will not be scolded to blame." Liang Pengfei hurriedly picked up Luo Fangbo, and saw Luo Fangbo's face, which seemed to be much older than the last time they met, Liang Pengfei couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It seems that this old man has indeed spent a lot of time in Borneo, which is surrounded by strong enemies.

Hearing Liang Pengfei's sincere tone, Luo Fangbo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, so he was no longer arrogant, and sat on the chair next to him. Since this is the case, Luo Mou called himself an old man. Virtuous nephew, this time the old man came, hoping that the virtuous nephew could send troops to help my Lanfang company tide over this unprecedented crisis. My Lanfang company to the top to the bottom of millions of people, will be grateful for the kindness of the virtuous nephew, the virtuous nephew as the benefactor, but after the sending, Lanfang company should poke the force. Luo Fangbo went straight to the point.
