Whether Lin Daoqian and Lin Afeng are connected or not, Qiu Sihai doesn't know, but he feels that he is only one line away from collapse.

Since Lu Guangwu mentioned the so-called Wu Ping's relics in front of him, his life has suddenly changed drastically. Every day, he felt like someone was watching him when he was doing anything. He suspected that someone was drugged for three meals a day, and he wanted to let people taste it before eating it himself, even so, he had diarrhea once and almost felt that he would die at any time. When he slept at night, he would wake up from his sleep at the slightest movement, and even felt like a ghost pressing down on him a few times, and even had difficulty breathing.

It is suspected that someone is secretly calculating and even plotting to kill him, but after more than ten days of hard work, he has become a lot haggard, his eyes are deeply sunken, and he has lost a lot of weight. Although neither Lu Guangwu nor Du Maode ever asked him a word again, he instinctively regarded this as an attempt to get away with it. Seeing that if he continued like this, he was only afraid that he would be dragged down by life, and maybe even his life would be gone, and he finally had to choose between life and wealth.

But when he was going to exchange his confession for terms, Dumoud was not there. He had to go to Lu Guangwu and try in every possible way, but Lu Guangwu turned his back to him indifferently, as if he hadn't heard his words at all, and in the end he tried his best to say a lot, but in exchange for a sneer: "What kind of treasure is not treasure, I just asked casually at that time, you are still serious." I think that when the government took Nanao Island, it was light to dig three feet into the ground, if there was really any hidden treasure, it would have been raised a long time ago, and it would be left to this day? The Xinchang Lu family is not poor. I don't care about tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of silver. ”

It stands to reason that Qiu Sihai can rest assured here. Once the suspicious and parakesome emotions are born. Then he couldn't let it go anymore, Lu Guangwu didn't answer the stubble, but he was even more panicked. He couldn't get any news about being watched like a trapped beast on this Nanao Island for so many days, and he didn't even know who was behind Du Maode and Lu Guangwu, but at least he had determined that it was not another group of pirates who had just risen in his imagination, but definitely people from the government. And because of that. He knew the virtues of the people in the official mansion, and he was afraid that with such a big secret, he would worry about his life anytime and anywhere.

So, when he came back from Lu Guangwu's encounter, he thought about it, and finally thought of the boat that Xiuzhu was on at the beginning. Although Xiuzhu has not shown up since she arrived on Nanao Island, it is said that she was taken to the Nanao General Military Mansion, but there are other people on her boat, fortunately, the details of these people are not a secret, he talked to a few and found that they were all Zhelin's military remnants. A few of them, who were not tight-mouthed, claimed that they were recruited by Lu Shisan and Uncle Shi Lulang for a lot of money. For him, whose future is unpredictable and even his life is in danger. Even if there is a slight possibility of escaping, now I will immediately find someone.

After wandering around the place where the pirates who had been appeased had been carved out for a long time, he finally found the round-faced young man who had been pointed out to him by others, and it was said that it was Shi Lu, who was one of the conveners in the first place. Although he only knew that the other party was also a soldier, and there was no way to know who was behind it, but seeing this person sitting lazily on a branch with a piece of grass in his mouth, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, and put on the front with a smile on his face. But it was almost the same as when he dealt with Lu Guangwu before, he was about to wear out his mouth, but the other party was just uh-huh, which made him almost suspect that he was a dumb person.

But just as he was cursing in secret, the young man, who he thought was dumb, suddenly stood up, looked into the distance for a moment, and jumped down directly, leaving him and walking forward. Looking in that direction, he saw a young man with beautiful eyebrows not far away, about thirty years old, it was Lu Shisan, who was overjoyed, and hurriedly planned to follow and try his luck. However, he didn't have time to contact the other party at all, and he didn't know where to get out of two people, so he stopped him directly. Even if he was good at talking, the two of them didn't move like clay carvings and wood sculptures, and he couldn't get forward even if he jumped his feet.

"Brother-in-law, how's it going? What did that Wang Ye say? ”

Seeing that Shi Lu hurriedly came up, he was in a hurry, Lu Shisan glanced at Qiu Sihai, who was stopped not far away, and glanced at his brother-in-law, and the two left a few steps. At this time, Lu Shisanfang lowered his voice and said: "Wang Ye plans to develop Dongfan, and recommended to the imperial court that Du Xianggong to go to Dongfan to serve as the county commander, and change the name of Dongfan to Taiwan County, and set up the Taiwan Inspection Division, with me as the inspector and you as the deputy inspector." ”

"I just want to send people for a mere nine-grade inspection!" Shi Lu was disappointed and said angrily, "Isn't he the junior brother of Lu Gongzi?" This time he got such a big credit, and he didn't take care of you! ”

"What nonsense!" Lu Shisan stopped Shi Lu and looked around to see that there was no one else, so he lowered his voice and said, "Others don't know, you don't know?" How big is Nanao Island and how big is Dongfan? There are almost ten or eight South Australia in one Dongfan! Moreover, the imperial court has always strictly forbidden the coastal islands, generally only setting up guards, not prefectures and counties, like us, taking a hereditary hundred households and other military positions to prevaricate, and then stuffing us into which guard station to be an errand, how many bosses do you count? ”

Shi Lu is not a stupid person, when Lu Shisan said this, he suddenly realized, but he still had a little emotion: "But this time, we are fighting with our lives, and an inspection is too stingy." ”

"There are some things that have to be looked at the reality, not the surface. Even if the imperial court really gives me a command and gives you a thousand households, but so what, we don't know in Zhelin, how many people with hereditary military positions have not been assigned real positions at all in these years, and they can't support their families with that little money? Moreover, now that the civil and military are cheap, don't look at the Yan handsome in Nanao now, it seems to be quite majestic, and when he really arrives in front of the governor Ling Zhitai, isn't it the same to say that he has to kneel? On the contrary, if Wang Ye's performance can really get the approval of the DPRK and the central government, it means that there are only Du Xianggong and our three officials in the huge east. The people who are now entrenched in Dongban are, in principle, under our jurisdiction. Du Xianggong's person is still very good. ”

Shi Lu's heart was finally pounding, he swallowed hard, and only after a long time did he whisper: "Isn't that what you mean." This Dongfan is ours? ”

"That's right. The county government is in charge of the people. The inspection department is in charge of the archers, whether they belong to Fujian or Guangdong, because they are separated by the vast sea, and it is risky to take a boat to get there, which boss will risk going back and forth for many days to get there? That means there's no other boss holding us back, you know what that means? ”

"It's not that way. Can we be counted as half of the king of the East? ”

"Silence!" Lu Shisan didn't expect Shi Lu to be so open-mouthed, and after drinking him in one gulp, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When this Imperial Shi Wang Ye first saw me, he said that even if Dongfan is vast and sparsely populated, how many years will it take to cultivate the land to be self-sufficient?" Since Dongfan has officials and belongs to the imperial court, it means that we can justifiably send ships from Zhangzhou Fuyue Port to Dongfan, even if the annual share is limited, but it is quite considerable. And after the Toho. Whether you go to the East or the West or the South Sea. As you rejoice. The ships left Dongfan with heavy cargo, and returned with less cargo and light weight, so that they could bring grain, so that the problem of food supply for the first two years was easily solved. ”

Speaking of this, he accentuated his tone: "Wang Ye also said that these pirates are all settled in Dongfan, as long as they are moved by profit and threatened, they will not be used by us." But in order to suppress them, I need to use my reputation to recruit the right people, and my fame over the years will come in handy. In the past two years, we have used Dongfan as a stronghold, attacking everywhere, collecting and appeasing pirates, and when the time is ripe, we can go to the South Seas in the name of helping Manraka restore the country. Once we have occupied Manraka, we can also borrow the set that the Franc Ji people pretended to call for the Manraka people to ask for tributary trade. ”

Shi Lu was already a little stunned when he heard it. He took a light breath, his throat a little dry: "This kind of doorway that is definitely not the right way can a court official think of?" ”

"Have you forgotten that Wang Ye is Lu Gongzi's junior brother?" When he said this, Lu Shisan himself was also a little agitated. However, Wang Fulin recruited them before and gave them real money as a reward, and the people he and Shi Lu recruited were all old acquaintances who had known each other for many years, and they were willing to kill people for ten taels of silver, how could they not be willing to work hard for twenty taels of gold? Now that the battle is over, Wang Fulin has drawn a beautiful picture in front of him, how can he not make him excited when he is tired of smuggling and selling a life of running a gang? After all, this kind of opportunity to be on your own, if you miss it, there will be no next time!

Shi Lu smacked his mouth slightly, and finally clenched his hands: "Then do it!" Anyway, it's either a lifetime of being poor and oppressed, so it's better to gamble on your luck! However, everything has to wait for the response from the imperial court, otherwise everything will be in vain. Maybe the imperial court is reluctant to even have an empty county order and two empty patrol deputy inspectors. Those bosses are shouting about the ancestral system all day long, and they are the most unwilling to be flexible! ”

Just when the two uncles reached a preliminary agreement, the sharp-eyed Shi Lu saw a personal soldier trotting towards them not far away, and hurriedly stabbed Lu 13 with his elbow. When the person came, he was about to ask, but he didn't want the other party to immediately say loudly: "Two, the messenger from the court sent an official document over, and Yan Dashuai and the inspector Wang Ye invited the two to come over." ”

So fast!

Although I have only discussed the bigwigs in the DPRK and China in private, those officers and bullies in the army can give them a headache on weekdays, so how can they not pay attention to the reaction of the DPRK and China? What's more, it's about your own future. Uncle Lang and Uncle Lang glanced at each other and immediately rushed over. As for Qiu Sihai, who was still stopped by someone in the same place, he had long been forgotten by them to the clouds.

Lu Shisan has been called into the South Australian General Military Mansion several times these days, but Shi Lu is still the first time to come. The posture of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry in front of the door has already made him a little drumming in his heart, and when the soldiers entered it with them, he saw no sound from the military academy, compared with the virtues of those officers in Zhelin Town, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart, this is called the army, and those he saw before were only soldiers!

When he walked around several very imposing buildings and entered a courtyard that looked like a daily life, he found that the guards guarding this place were generally in their forties, but the military discipline was not inferior to that of the outside, so he was even more envious.

That's how it should be!

"Come in."

There were faint three words from inside the door, and Lu Shisan glanced sideways at Shi Lu, opened the curtain and entered. I saw that there were not as many people as imagined in the small room, in addition to Wang Fulin and Lu Guangwu, who they knew, there was Du Maode, who had only dealt with each other these days, and Xiuzhu. Compared with others with calm faces, Xiuzhu actually had tears on her face.

Lu Shisan was shocked, and secretly wondered if it was the imperial court crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, not only was it not considered Xiuzhu's credit, but it was also investigated as Lin Daoqian's daughter? But what Shi Lu thought of was why Yan Jifang, the chief soldier of South Australia, and Wang Fulin summoned him together, but Yan Jifang was not here. Thinking about it, the two of them hurriedly attended the salute immediately, but after getting up, they saw Wang Fulin say with a smile: "I finally lived up to your birth and death, and made meritorious contributions." As soon as the palindrome of the DPRK came down, I promoted Du Maode as the county commander of Taiwan, Lu Shisan, and Shi Lu as the chief and deputy inspectors of the Taiwan Inspection Department. ”

For such a news, the three people in the room who already knew it did not react much, but Lu Shisan and Shi Lu were surprised and delighted. But Lu Shisan glanced at Lu Guangwu, and couldn't help but ask: "Then Lu Gongzi and that Mr. Zheng are also willing to risk their lives and die this time, so this credit is not considered a big deal?" ”

"Who's to say it doesn't count? How can our patrol press Yu Shi Wang Ye miss me? When I fought against the Japanese before, I pushed it to reward me with hereditary brocade clothes, but this time he simply invited me to a list of warriors in the world. Hehe, I, who have never been an official, can make multiple archways at home, and those fathers and villagers in Xinchang are not allowed to laugh at me? ”

said so in his mouth, but Lu Guangwu thought in his heart that such an outrageous suggestion could be approved by the imperial court, which shows that the rumors are true, Wang Fulin is indeed strong in the background of the court, or at least now he still has the heart of the first assistant Zhang Juzheng. Although he is not a person with a good name, he certainly will not push this kind of thing that is of great benefit to the family and future generations.

As for Mr. Zheng, Ling Zhitai kept him by his side and presented his deceased father's scroll to the imperial court, which had already granted his son additional favor to the imperial prison. Oh, in order to make Du Xianggong's county order more justifiable, and also reward him with the title of a prisoner, it is estimated that some people in Shilin will criticize him for a while. Wang Fulin said this, glanced at Xiuzhu, who still had tears on her face, and said with a smile, "Only Xiuzhu suffers a little, she is a woman after all, and she was born in Yaomin, and her father is unknown, so the court gave her the empty title of a seven-grade widow, who wants to marry her, and has to pay out of his own pocket to make a set of crown clothes." ”

Xiuzhu also just learned that Wang Fulin wrote on the song "Xiuzhu, the daughter of filial piety and righteousness, pretending to be the daughter of Lin Daoqian in order to avenge her relatives", so she was able to exchange for such a reward, so she was sad and happy, and cried a lot. At this moment, when she heard this joke, her face flushed for a while, but she was speechless.

Only then did Shi Lu realize that everyone had a share, and secretly thought that this patrol of the imperial history was really righteous. But the next moment, Wang Fulin's face changed, and he said word by word: "Although I suggested to the imperial court before, leaving Lin Daoqian and Lin Afeng alive in order to appease the pirates, but they ravaged the coast before, killing countless evils, especially Lin Daoqian's surrender and rebellion, capricious, the cabinet down, Lin Afeng and his people can be placed in Taiwan, but Lin Daoqian once occupied Taiwan's chicken coop, and this trip to Taiwan is tantamount to raising tigers for trouble, and he can't be spared, so he will be killed in Chaozhou City on a certain day." ”
