Although he knew that Qiu Sihai had a black cloth on his head and couldn't see himself, when Xiaobei threatened with the words of sinking people into the sea, his heart was still not as natural as Wang Fulin, so he had to glare at the side fiercely. If it weren't for Wang Fulin's claim that Qiu Sihai had heard his voice, no matter how he disguised and changed his voice, he would definitely be recognized, and he was unwilling to let other people around him come out, for fear of being remembered for his voice, how could it be her turn to come out? At this moment, she was a little impatient and waited for the other party's reply, thinking that she might still have to be punished in the end, but she didn't want Qiu Sihai to suddenly speak out.

"If I really say it, Feng Ye will never be able to go back, can you really guarantee me a future?"

"Do you have any other options right now? If you don't believe me, you die; Believe me, there may be a way to live. Since you've been a pirate for so many years, you should be very skilled at gambling on this kind of thing! ”

Qiu Sihai froze. He had gambled many times in his life, but this was the first time in such a sinister scene as the one he was now. After all, whether it is an accomplice at sea, or a strong wind and waves, there is still a glimmer of life, not like life and death are now in the hands of others. After weighing and weighing, he said carefully: "I came out this time, just to explore a way for Feng Ye, there are not many things up and down, a total of spices and gems worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, and 500 taels of gold. It was true that the thing was not hidden on the body, but buried in a house in the city of Guangzhou. ”

"Only you know? So you can only lead the way? ”

"Yes." Qiu Sihai spit out such a word very cautiously, and then said, "After the honorable driver takes this money." Is it really intended to be dedicated to the government? I don't know which adult you're on? ”

"Huh. Do you still doubt me? I've been staring at you for more than a day or two. You went to Nanhai County to send money to mix up the identity of a cook, and then entered the tribute courtyard during the previous township test, and by knowing both medical skills, you calculated the deputy envoy of the sea channel, Zhou Guan, and wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to him and do this to appease him. You think I don't know? ”

The most secret whereabouts and purpose were directly revealed by the other party, and Qiu Sihai finally realized that he had no bargaining capital. After a long silence. He finally had to admit defeat, but he also grabbed the last straw: "Okay, I am willing to dedicate all these treasures and gold to Zunjia, I only hope that Zunjia can take me and these brothers in." Since Zunjia intends to appease and does not do anything, even if these officials receive money, they may not be willing to do anything. I can help you rein in Feng Ye's power, and when the time comes, if you become the king of pirates in Guangdong and Fujian, your strength will be strong, and the government will appease you. It is also generous to give official positions and fields! ”

Sell your boss so quickly?

Wang Fulin's eyes widened when he saw Xiaobei turn his head to look at him. He smiled and shrugged his shoulders, then nodded at her, suggesting that she could say yes.

Although Wang Fulin said so, Xiaobei knew that it was easy to arouse suspicion if he agreed too quickly. Therefore, she deliberately pretended not to trust Qiu Sihai, and rubbed back and forth with people for a while, and finally agreed with some reservations. Of course, this is just a verbal agreement and has no binding force, but for Qiu Sihai, the fact that the other party seems to be moved is his best guarantee. Is it important to kill him if he only covets more than 10,000 taels of silver, or keep him, and then collect the nearly 1,000 people on the dozen or so boats in Lin Afeng's hands, so as to get a bigger bargaining chip when negotiating with the imperial court?

With such a verbal agreement, Wang Fulin did not make much effort when he sent someone to take out the property that Qiu Sihai had buried. The final result is that two boxes of uncarved ruby sapphire rough, two boxes of South China Sea pearls, a number of tortoiseshell agate, in short, are gold jewelry shells that dignitaries like, and it is very rare to have a few pieces of ambergris with considerable weight, plus five hundred taels of gold, Qiu Sihai estimated the value of these things, and if they are sent to the Beijing division thousands of miles away, it is very likely that 20,000 taels will sell this batch of goods.

If Wang Fulin is a person who loves money, at this time, as long as he slaughters Qiu Sihai and other disgraceful pirates, these things can all be laughed at in his arms, but he is no longer a little Xiucai who was burdened with huge debts and his fame is still in jeopardy, not to mention that the rice industry guild alone has advanced to Wuhu and mastered a large number of stacks in Wuhu at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Therefore, this windfall is not worth worrying about at all, what he has to worry about now is how to talk to Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang.

Especially with such a batch of property, how could he guarantee Ling Yunyi's integrity and guarantee that this governor would not embezzle it privately? How can you guarantee that Ling Yunyi won't think that he swallowed the big head and offered the small head? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Ling Yunyi is also a person who does not love money like him, and is committed to reaching the top of officialdom, then when the other party sees such things, will he turn his mind to the imperial court, and then fight the pirates with his backhand, completely ignoring his advice? Judging from the previous measures of the imperial court, it is very possible, and the four words of backtracking were originally the most commonly used methods of the government, not only the patent of pirates.

After thinking about it again, Wang Fulin finally decided that since he couldn't make up his mind about this kind of big matter, he would go to someone to discuss. After all, he hired his staff not only for work, but also for the sake of having someone to sum up on specific policies. Therefore, he asked Xiaobei to continue to help him play the role of the cell leader, and he hurried back to the procuratorate.

In the past few days, after Du Maode drafted the trial dispatch of Beijing officials in Jianyan Township, he also drafted a note on the impeachment of several Guangdong officials according to his instructions, but it was not limited to Guangzhou, but was scattered in the ten prefectures, ranging from learning and teaching in districts and counties, to dividing the way and guarding the road, from corruption to incompetence, covering all aspects.

Relying on Wang Fulin alone, of course, it is impossible to travel all over these places even if he has two long legs, but he can't stand the fact that Lu Guangwu, who has been to Guangdong twice in a row last year and this year, and has gone deep into the people, plus Xiaobei went to Lianxi Academy to meet Wang Ji, who is still lecturing here, and what this Mr. Longxi has seen and heard corroborates it, plus Xu Xiucai and Du Maode, two authentic locals, corroborate it. Naturally, the accuracy of the list of impeachment candidates can be guaranteed. And so it goes. One of the greatest responsibilities of the Imperial History has been achieved--Spraying people--After all, the patrol is also a member of the Imperial History team. And so it goes. Even if he closes his door in the procuratorate, others can't find fault.

Chen Bingchang has been helping Du Maode to sort out the chronicles of the European countries, although it is still an extremely simple version, but Wang Fulin believes that compared to the understanding of the historians who revised the history of the DPRK and China, this is already very in-depth. And just as Wang Fulin brought the money Qiu Sihai said back to the procuratorate, Xu Xiucai happened to rush back from Haojing and brought back Jia Nailao's positive response to the exchange students. Of course, there were also protests against the government's revocation of the lease rights.

At this moment, the Xiucai think tank was completed, and Wang Fulin simply summoned everyone to the hall where he lived in the backyard, and directly put a few boxes of jewels, agate, pearls, etc. on the big case.

Although Xu Xiucai is also a person who has seen a lot of good things in Haojing, he still can't help but be stunned at this moment: "Master Wang, this is ......"

Wang Fulin glanced at Du Maode, and saw that this talented man with a good iron ruler had a normal face, so he did not explain the cause and effect, but said concisely: "It was a few pirates who sneaked into Guangzhou. Trying to dredge the government and seek a windfall of appeasement. ”

This kind of explains where things come from. But for Xu Xiucai, who has rich experience and is ill-fated, there are more guesses. He didn't care that he was still happy that Wang Fulin had recruited Du Maode by listening to his recommendation, so he took a deep breath and decided to die as a confidant, and advised Wang Fulin not to do bad things because of money, who knew that the words were robbed by Du Maode.

"Brother Xu, Brother Chen, the matter has come to this, although Wang Ye concealed it for me, I can't just treat it as a matter of my own business."

Du Maode paused slightly, and then told him about his experience of being forced to be a pirate back then, as well as being recognized by Qiu Sihai and coming to the door to threaten him, etc., seeing that Xu Xiucai's mouth simply couldn't close, Chen Bingchang was also dumbfounded, he sighed secretly in his heart, and then looked at Wang Fulin and asked, "This batch of property of Wang Ye is from Qiu Sihai?" ”

Seeing that Wang Fulin nodded, he took a breath lightly, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "If Wang Ye intends to follow the old example of Hu Meilin Gong in the past to take down Wang Zhi, the owner of the Twin Peaks, the student is willing to serve." ”

That incident was so famous back then, not to mention Xu Xiucai's age, even Chen Bingchang had heard of it, and the latter jumped up all of a sudden: "Senior Du, this is too dangerous!" It's so easy for you to escape, isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger to go back? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Xiucai didn't have time to think about why he recommended the person to Wang Fulin, but now Wang Fulin knows Du Maode's past better than himself, and he now knows that there are many people who have no choice, so he didn't blame Du Maode with righteousness at all, but echoed Chen Bingchang and said, "Since they already have the intention of appeasing themselves and have sent this big fortune, it is obvious that they don't have to take such a risk." ”

"If Wang Ye thinks the same way, he shouldn't let me wait to see these things, but what did the student say?"

Seeing Du Maode looking at himself and saying so, and the other two looked at him slowly, Wang Fulin secretly sighed that the two he picked were staff members who specialized in the art industry, and one could only be regarded as an intern, so naturally he could not compare with the late father-in-law Hu Zongxian's famous staff lineup, of course, although Hu Zongxian also started from patrolling the imperial history, but later the staff gathered, but it was a matter of the main party, and he is just a patrol now. He briefly talked about his concerns, as well as the new ideas and ideas he had mentioned to Lu Guangwu and Zheng Mingxian to appease pirates, and then mentioned Ling Yunyi's ambiguous attitude towards appeasement of pirates, as well as the court's long-standing hardline tendency.

It wasn't until the end that he said: "Therefore, discussing with the three of you this time seems to be for this ill-gotten gain, but in fact, it is for one thing, how to completely persuade Ling Zhitai, and even to move the first assistant of the cabinet of the DPRK and China." Even if it doesn't work, we must pay attention to the matter of passing through the Nanyang countries, even if it is the attention of a few people! ”

Pass through the countries of the South Seas!

In the face of such a heavy six words, the three showmen present were all silent. Chen Bingchang is young and talented, but he just keeps feeling in his heart that he is Brother Wang and has courage. Xu Xiucai, because he has dealt with Francophone too much, knows the storm and waves that will be set off after these six words. As for Du Maode, who has the most far-reaching vision and the most thoughtful thinking among the three, what he thinks of is that the Yongle Emperor sent Zheng He and others to the West and the East successively, the real purpose was not for any strategy, the legend is to find Emperor Jianwen, and sprinkled gold silk, spending countless money and food, if you really want to talk about the results, it is probably to establish the strong position of the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, so that the tribute will not stop in the future.

But since Yongle, Zheng He's treasure ship has been abandoned, and the opening of the imperial court's sea ban has become tighter and tighter.

Therefore, Wang Fulin now envisions how much resistance will there be from the DPRK and China? How likely is it to win over supporters?

Seeing that the three of them were raising their eyebrows and pondering, Wang Fulin threw out another bombshell news: "In addition, Xu Sheng and I have been to the coastal fishing village outside Xin'an City before. In addition to recapturing the Assassins who had taken people's money and tried to take my life, I also set up an ambush and captured a group of pirates who had left the village. In order to appease a large number of pirates, including Lin Daoqian, Lin Afeng, Xinchang Lu Gongzi and Kunshan Mr. Zheng took the white-ship ship deep into the enemy camp, and it should have been almost a month since they set off. However, no news has come back so far. ”

Although Du Maode had heard Wang Fulin mention that he had heard from Lu Guangwu about the past when he was forced to join the pirates, it was not until he learned about this incident that he was really sure of what the relationship between Wang Fulin and Lu Guangwu was—if it was not an extremely close relationship between going deep into the enemy camp, how could he easily agree and do it? It's yourself, if it weren't for the heavy stain on your body, it would probably affect your family, and in order to repay the kindness of your knowledge, how could you volunteer to take the risk to return to the tiger's mouth?

In the end, it was Du Maode who first suppressed his worries about Lu Guangwu's trip and asked, "I heard that Wang Ye saved Zhou Guan, the deputy envoy of the sea channel, in the Gongyuan before?" Have you visited him before? ”

Of course, Wang Fulin knew what Du Maode was going to ask, so he nodded and said, "After a bit of heart-to-heart, Zhou Guan can now be regarded as an ally. ”

"That's for the best! Wang Ye can talk about Qiu Sihai and these rare belongings, as well as the matter of appeasing the pirates, and talk to Zhou Observation in detail in advance, and strive for Zhou Observation's support, and after the plan is completed, he will see Ling Zhitai again. Now that Ling Zhitai is about to pacify the rebellion of the Yao people in Luobian Mountain, the property of one or two hundred thousand does not seem to be much, but whether it is used in the war or in the aftermath of the appeasement, it is all used on the blade, and it will never be too much. As for how to turn these things into cash, just based on the kindness of Wang Ye and Brother Xu to the dispute between the head of the Pan family in Guangfu, Master Pan will never refuse. As for the characterization of this money, it might as well be directly said to be stolen and used as military expenses. ”

Xu Xiucai suddenly understood. But the second half is easy to do, and even without Wang Fulin, there will be no problem for him to come forward, after all, he just let the Pan family eat these goods, and he is not giving money for nothing. But even if Wang Fulin said that Zhou Congwen was an ally, could he really say that he could move him to advise Lingyunyi together? Will Ling Yunyi really agree? If you talk about pirates passing through the South Seas, can you fool Ling Yunyi?

He desperately used his brain, thinking about some of his previous experiences when dealing with the Portuguese in Haojing, and suddenly a sentence came out: "If you want to say that you want to appease pirates and pass through the South Seas, can you say that, just say that our country recruits righteous men to help Manraka recover the country?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Fulin immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "What a Xu Sheng, I really see the same thing, that's exactly what I think!" ”
