Goshha's shout, and suddenly the noise in the entire hall disappeared without a trace, some were deathly silent, and there was a panicked atmosphere that spread in the hall.

"Bring it in." Fu Kangan, who was sitting on the main seat, opened his mouth with a standard Beijing film, his voice was not loud, and with his three long beards, he looked a little thin, which made people feel that he was like a scribe who read poetry and books, more like a general who was decisive in killing.

However, the light shining from the narrow single-eyelid eyes, as well as the killing aura and majesty that have been cultivated on the battlefield for many years, constantly reminded the officials present that he was the master here.

"Yes!" This Goshha walked forward quickly, presented the military report with both hands, Fukangan received it in his hand, and after opening it, the original face that seemed to be moody and invisible, couldn't help but show a trace of doubt, and it was incredulous, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at Pan Youdu, who was not far away.

Feeling Fukangan's sharp eyes like a knife, Pan Youdu's heart couldn't help jumping slightly, and he spun around, his eyes overflowed with a hint of smile, presumably the news in the military newspaper must have a close relationship with that young master Liang, which shows that the kid has finally made a grand debut.

"Marshal, but the pirates are in my state and county." After seeing Fukangan's expression, the Guangzhou prefect Leng Geli felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and he was the first to stand up impatiently.

Fukangan glanced at the prefect lightly, and handed the military report to the guards beside him: "Read it out, so that you don't think there is any bad news." ”

"Wow!" The guard with the knife took the report and read it aloud.

As soon as I heard the news from the military newspaper, all of a sudden, the originally quiet and suffocating lobby suddenly boiled again.

“…… Captured more than a dozen people including the Xiyi Sea Chief Owen and Mo Li, captured three Xiyi warships, dozens of cannons, and countless firearms and swords...... "The guard with the knife continued to read the military report aloud without being affected, and the loud voice spread throughout the hall and outside.

Those officials and the gentry who participated in the birthday banquet of Fukangan were all talking about it, but they never thought that the Daqing maritime merchant who had been rumored during this time had defeated Owen, the leader of the Xiyi pirates who had to flee for his life even if the sailor touched him, turned out to be true.

Several foreign envoys who had come to congratulate them were also wide-eyed, plucking their ears incessantly, and some of them stammered to communicate with their companions, as if they were afraid that they had misheard.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The eyes of several generals present suddenly turned red, panting like bulls in heat, and the fire of jealousy burned in their chests. This maritime merchant not only defeated, but also captured this famous enemy chief of the South Seas, such a great feat, why can't it fall on their heads, not to mention the 30,000 taels of reward, just this military merit is enough for them to move their butts up fiercely, maybe they can also change the title of a wife and a cute son.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Fukangan's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, he actually received such good news at his birthday banquet, what is it not a good sign? Moreover, he really didn't expect that it was Liang Pengfei, a maritime merchant who Pan Youdu mentioned to him a few days ago, to donate the martial arts position of a sailor.

"Come on, quickly let that Liang Pengfei come to see the governor, and drag those Xiyi thief chieftains in, the governor really wants to see what kind of person this Owen is who has crossed the South Seas and defeated my Daqingshui Division." Fukangan was just about to stand up, but as if he felt that something was wrong, he sat back and instructed Goshha, who had just come in to report the news.

After a while, he heard the roll call from outside, under the gaze of countless eyes in those gates, Liang Pengfei straightened out the brand-new lake silk robe on his clothes, lifted the placket and walked forward, behind him, there was a team of heavily armed Guangdong sailors, escorting the leaders of the seven Xiyi pirates, and there were several soldiers holding the box behind, the gap in the box faintly revealed a faint smell of lime, and the expression of the sailor soldier holding the box was not very good, it seemed that the things in the box made him feel very uncomfortable.

"This is the Liang Pengfei who defeated the Xiyi pirates?" Erdenbu, the superintendent of Guangdong Customs, played with the jasper wrench in his hand, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and next to him, his nephew, Leng Geli, the prefect of Guangzhou, also squinted at the high-spirited young man who walked in the door.

"Exactly." Cai Shiwen subconsciously gritted his teeth, and his eyes were shocked and suspicious, revealing a coldness.

"It's really young enough, just such a character, you can make Brother Cai suffer a small loss, hehe, you deserve to be a newborn calf." Erdenbu, the superintendent of Guangdong Customs, pursed his lips and said disapprovingly.

Hearing this, Cai Shiwen's mood can be said to be extremely depressed, but he can only accompany the smiling face, who makes this Guangdong customs supervisor not a person he can afford to offend, even if the governor of Guangzhou sees this master from the internal affairs office, he has to be polite, who makes him the emperor's domestic slave, you know, the people in charge of the customs must all be born in the yellow flag, and they must be favored by the emperor. Because most of the money from the customs has to flow into the emperor's pocket.

"Is that him?" In another corner, a thin middle-aged man in a second-grade robe was whispering to Pan Youdu beside him, this is Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong, he was originally a member of the Han Army and the Red Banner, in the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong, he was promoted to the governor of Guizhou, and he was transferred from Guangdong to the governor of Guangzhou.

"That's the man." Pan Youdu saw Liang Pengfei's calm and calm expression, but he was not in the mood at all in the face of so many high-ranking officials and nobles, and the steps under his feet still seemed firm and powerful, and he did not have to hold a folding fan in his hand like those literati to pretend to be any scribes, but the fluttering robe, the tall figure, the handsome and calm face, and the deep and hidden eyes with a friendly smile. It makes people feel that this is not like a warrior who can reach out to catch thieves, but like a literati who has read poetry and books.

"Good demeanor, you can really know people." Guo Shixun couldn't help but praise lightly, and beside him, the smile on Pan Youdu's face seemed to be a little thicker.

"Liang Pengfei, a grass citizen, has seen Lord Fu Dashuai, the governor of Liangguang." Liang Pengfei walked into the lobby amid the whispers of everyone, and calmly lowered his robe and bowed down with the attention of those pairs of eyes.

"You are the Hailian Shaoxing Master Liang Pengfei who captured the thief chieftain?" Fukangan looked at this sturdy, but indescribable elegant young man, and couldn't help but feel a little more relieved in his heart, it seems that Pan Youdu really didn't see the wrong person, and recommended a young man to himself, just this humble and not arrogant demeanor, how many people present can reach?

You know, he Fukangan himself is also a young and famous hero, seeing the young man in front of him, he can't help but think of his own year, and the same is true, since then he has been favored by Qianlong, all the way up, and he is not confused, so he is a high grade, and his eyes reveal a trace of memories of the past.

"It's the grass people." Liang Pengfei buried his head deeper, although he looked so respectful, but he didn't know how many times he had greeted the ancestors of Fukangan, Young Master Liang had kneeled to his parents and ancestors in his previous life, but he had never groveled to the official, and now, he had to kneel here honestly.

"Your grandmother, kneeling with you today is for Lao Tzu's future future and planning, and Lao Tzu will let you guys know who will be the master of this land for the longest time."

Just when Liang Pengfei was resentful, Fukangan opened his mouth again: "Get up, let the governor take a good look." ”

"Thank you, Marshal Fu." Liang Pengfei didn't dare to lose his courtesy, and after respectfully thanking him, he got up neatly and stood with his hands down, but his head was not lowered like an ordinary person, but raised up, without a trace of fear and fear.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Some officials couldn't help but have a look of displeasure on their faces. "Isn't this kid too arrogant?" The Guangzhou prefect Leng Geli had a greasy expression, and at this time, Cai Shiwen seemed to be a little surprised and said: "Lord Prefect, this, this kid seems to be unreasonable to do this, right?" ”

"What do you mean?" was stunned, which really made Cai Shiwen stunned for a moment. Just when Cai Shiwen whispered in his ear, at this time, the leaders of the seven Xiyi pirates were all escorted to the lobby, and the smell of rot made the faces of a group of civilian officials change color, especially when they saw the terrible scars on the bodies of those Xiyi pirates, as well as the suppurating wounds, a few of them simply covered their mouths and rushed out of the hall.

The corners of Fukangan's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile that he didn't know if it was sarcasm, his eyes fell on these Xiyi pirates, the first thing he saw was a silver-haired, unruly Owen, his originally decent face was now distorted like a demon crawling out of hell, and the resentful gray eyes stared at Liang Pengfei next to him, if his gaze was converted into lethality, Liang Pengfei would have turned into ashes.

But right now, Liang Pengfei turned a blind eye to Pulsatilla Owen's eyes, but looked at Pulsatilla Owen with an almost appreciative gaze, as if admiring their tenacious vitality comparable to Xiaoqiang, who was actually cut so many knives on his body, and after being immersed in the sea water for so long, he could still survive, which has to admit that the limit of human beings is the most incredible.

However, there were also people who couldn't stand it, so Liang Pengfei could only cut off their heads, put them in a box and send them over.

"He's Pulsatilla Owen?" Fukangan motioned for the nearest Portuguese envoy to come to his side and asked in a somewhat jerky Latin.

The Portuguese envoy could not wait, and stood up to identify them one by one, and several other Western businessmen also approached to look at them with hatred and suspicion on their faces.
