Hearing Zhou Chong suddenly say such a paragraph without beginning or end, Huang Qionghai was also stunned at that time, but he still asked, "I don't know what Lord Admiral has heard?" ”

"Admiral Ben heard that a few decades ago, there was a princess of our Ming Dynasty who married into the Kingdom of Malacca, and your King Alek is her son, and I also heard that your Huang family came with the princess, but what makes the official very puzzled is that why in the annals of the Ming Dynasty, there is no record of the marriage of the Ming princess?" Zhou Zhong asked with a smile at this time, and his eyes kept staring at Huang Qiong, observing the changes in his face.

Sure enough, when Huang Qionghai heard the mention of Princess Han Baoli this week, his face immediately changed slightly, but he seemed to have been prepared, so he lowered his head and said calmly: "Lord Qiyu, for Princess Han Baoli, in fact, our Huang family doesn't know much, I only heard my father talk about it before, at that time, the reason why our Huang family was fortunate to come to Malacca with the princess was mainly because our family was relocating at that time, but we encountered wind and waves at sea, fortunately we were rescued by Princess Han Baoli, in order to repay the princess's kindness, That's why we came to Malacca with the princess to settle down. ”

Zhou Zhong heard that Huang Qionghai actually said such a leaky reason, but he was sneering in his heart, he was sure that Princess Han Baoli must have a deep relationship with the Huang family, but now Huang Qionghai used such a reason to put aside the relationship, it was nothing more than that Zhou Zhong exposed that Han Baoli was a fake princess, and thus implicated the Huang family, after all, pretending to be a royal family is a big crime to kill the head, even if it has been so many years, but Da Ming can still hold the Huang family accountable.

Come to think of it. Zhou Zhong also understood that what he had thought before was too simple. The Huang family will definitely not easily tell themselves the true identity of Princess Han Baoli. will not admit the relationship between their family and the princess, anyway, after so many years, the people of the year are almost dead, and it is impossible for Zhou Zhong to find any evidence to prove the relationship between the Huang family and Princess Han Baoli.

"I see, the official is very curious about the life of Princess Han Baoli, and if she is really the princess of our Daming, then Alec can also be regarded as our Daming's relative, and there is such a relationship. This official can directly help Alec restore his rule over the Kingdom of Malacca, but I don't know if you have anything to prove the identity of the princess? Zhou Zhong asked with some reluctance at this time, if he could get some relics of Princess Han Baoli, he might be able to deduce some useful information.

In response to Zhou Chong's question, Huang Qionghai replied without thinking: "My lord doesn't know, when we retreated to Jinzhou, because of the tight time and the limited number of ships, we discarded a lot of things, including most of the items in the palace. It just so happened that Princess Hanbaoli's relics were also among them, and now they have been lost for many years. I'm afraid I won't find it at all. ”

"Oh? Is it? Zhou Zhong stared at Huang Qionghai with a meaningful gaze for a long time, and then spoke again, "Isn't Patriarch Huang a little too arbitrary, your king Alik, as the son of the princess, may bring with him one or two relics left by his mother, and these relics may just prove the identity of the princess, if you can prove the identity of the princess, this admiral will have reason to support you, so that you can return to Malacca City openly, so this matter is very important, Patriarch Huang should go back and ask King Alec! ”

Hearing Zhou Chong unceremoniously point out the loophole in his words, Huang Qionghai's face changed slightly, he did not want Zhou Chong to know the identity of Princess Han Baoli for some reason, so he didn't want to say that there was no princess's relics, but he didn't expect that this Zhou Chong in front of him would be so shrewd that he would suddenly catch the loophole in his words, which is really bad.

However, although Huang Qionghai knew that it was not good, he still said calmly: "The lesson of the Admiral is that the villain was indeed too arbitrary just now, and when I go back, I will definitely ask His Royal Highness the King in person, maybe I can find the princess's relics!" ”

Zhou Chong knew that the other party was perfunctory, and even if he sent some princess relics in the future, I am afraid it would be inconsequential, and there was no practical value at all, but he also knew that no matter how much he asked, Huang Qionghai would not tell the truth of the matter, after all, this matter may be related to hundreds of lives of the Huang family, so Zhou Chong also changed the topic and began to ask about the situation of the Huang family and Alec on Jinzhou.

Hearing Zhou Chong change the topic, Huang Qionghai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he knew everything about Zhou Chong's problem, and soon Zhou Chong had a general understanding of the situation in Jinzhou.

Jinzhou is the later Sumatra Island, is the second largest island in the South Seas, second only to Borneo, because it is rich in gold, so it is called Jinzhou by the Nanyang people, in fact, in addition to being rich in gold, it is also rich in copper, iron, coal and other minerals, but I don't know what the reason is, the waves near the coast of Jinzhou are very large, and they can even overturn the big ship, so there are almost no excellent natural ports on the coastline of the entire Jinzhou, in contrast, The Malay Peninsula, which is only separated from Jinzhou by one strait, has many excellent seaports along the route, such as the port of Malacca, where Zhouzhong is located.

It is said that this kind of wave is called "Indian Ocean Lapping Waves", which is often a number of rows of waves superimposed together, and the power is very amazing, and it is precisely because of the existence of the Indian Ocean Lapping Waves that Jinzhou and the Java Island next to it have almost no natural excellent ports, and even some excellent ports in the Strait of Malacca in later generations are also located on the Malay Peninsula, such as Singapore, Malacca, Port Klang and so on.

The area of Jinzhou is vast, the Kingdom of Malacca occupies only a small area in the middle of Jinzhou, about only one-sixth of the entire Jinzhou, and the rest of Jinzhou is ruled by the Kingdom of Aceh in the north, while the Kingdom of Banten belongs to the south, and the territory of the Kingdom of Malacca is just located in the buffer zone of the two kingdoms.

After Alec and the Huang family fled to Jinzhou, they settled in a small city called Dumai in the southwest of the port of Malacca, this small city is located on the coastline of Jinzhou, and there is a small island called Lupa in front of it, which just blocks the wind and waves at sea, so the port of this small city can barely be berthed, but it is much worse than the port of Malacca, and the population in the city is not much, whether it is agriculture or industry and commerce are very backward, the life of the Huang family there is also very difficult, so they want to return to the port of Malacca all the time.

However, Huang Qionghai mainly introduced some of their lives in Dumai, and by the way, he also complained to Zhou Chong, but Huang Qionghai said very vaguely about the relationship between their Huang family and Alec, as well as who is in charge of these political-related matters in Dumai City, but Zhou Chong can guess with his toes, I am afraid that their Huang family has now controlled the political and military strength of Alec's side, and even the Huang Qionghai in front of him is likely to be the principal of the other party.

After introducing the situation in Jinzhou, Huang Qionghai begged again: "Lord Admiral, we have been forced to the poor place of Jinzhou in the past two years, and we can't support our financial needs by relying on the gold produced every year, so our Huang family has to take out their own savings to subsidize the finances, but now it is almost impossible to support it, and the rest is fine, in case our army makes trouble because of lack of money, then our Huang family will be in danger, so the grass people ask the Admiral to have mercy and save the lives of my Huang family!" ”

Seeing Huang Qionghai playing the sad card to himself again, Zhou Zhongzhong was unmoved, because he knew that the Huang family's control of the central region of Jinzhou was definitely not so fragile, but his face still showed a little sympathy: "Patriarch Huang, it's not that I don't help you, it's really that Admiral Ben, as an official of the imperial court, naturally has to act according to the rules of the imperial court, if you go back this time and can find a certificate to prove the identity of Princess Han Baoli, then this official will definitely give justice to your king!" ”

Huang Qionghai saw Zhou Chong once again use the identity of Princess Han Baoli to prevaricate himself, which made him also hate in his heart, but he didn't have any way, and he didn't even dare to show the slightest disrespect on his face, after all, now Zhou Chong represents the Ming Dynasty and also has heavy troops in his hands, if he angers the other party, it is really not a wise move.

Next, Zhou Chong asked people to set up a banquet to entertain Huang Qionghai, of course, he didn't have any good intentions, and planned to pour a few more glasses of wine at the banquet to see if he could pry out some useful news from the other party's mouth, but it is a pity that Huang Qionghai is also an old fox who has tested alcohol, and he drank a lot of wine with Zhou Zhong at the banquet, but the most lull is that his eyes are clear and his thoughts are clear, and he doesn't look drunk at all.

At the same time that Zhou Zhong was sleeping in his residence, Huang Qionghai went straight back to his ship after leaving the barracks, at this time it was almost three watches, the sea was quiet, Huang Qionghai locked himself in the cabin to drink tea and sober up, after all, he had drunk a lot just now, although he had a lot of alcohol, but he also felt a little uncomfortable, and there was still something to do in a while, so it was natural to keep a sober state.

"Knock knock~" There was a slight knock on the door outside the cabin, and with a special rule, which made Huang Qionghai immediately stand up and walk to the door to open the door, only to see a tall man standing outside, through the faint light in the cabin, you can see that this person is not young, his gray hair and beard keep dancing with the sea breeze, and his face is uncertain under the swaying light, making it impossible to see his appearance.
