He Renlong looked at Xiong Zijian, his eyes were full of envy and reverence, he led two thousand soldiers to wait at Wuli Bridge, nothing happened, the swords and guns did not move, the subordinates who came out of Zheng Zhilong's mansion were captured by the soldiers who were ambushed outside, and no one went to report the news at all, most of the people did not get up, and when the people found out that there was an abnormality here, the battle was over.

Inside the mansion, several places where battles were concentrated had begun to be cleaned up, and Zheng Zhilong and his family were taken into custody.

The tragic battle was mainly concentrated in the barracks where the soldiers were, Xiong Zijian and He Renlong did not expect that there was actually a thousand households killed, and the casualties also came out, the Jiangning battalion was killed and wounded, nearly 1,200 people, Zheng Zhilong's 3,000 personal soldiers, except for more than 200 people who later laid down their arms, the rest were all killed. According to this ratio, the Jiangning battalion won a complete victory, but the casualties were so large that Xiong Zijian did not expect.

The next task is to confiscate Zheng Zhilong's gold and silver treasures and escort Zheng Zhilong and his family to Dengzhou.

Xiong Zijian had already found Zheng Zhilong's housekeeper, and after some threats, the housekeeper said a few places where gold and silver were stored, but there was not a lot of gold and silver found, less than three million taels of silver, Zheng Zhilong's wealth was far more than that, Xiong Zijian understood that Zheng Zhilong also had a secret treasury, and rich families were like this, there were special secret treasurys to store gold and silver treasures, and these secret treasury were dedicated to storing gold, and these secret treasury were dedicated to storing gold, and these treasury must be found.

Zheng Zhilong's mansion is too big, if you want to find the secret mansion, the possibility is not great, you have to open your mouth.

For a person like Zheng Zhilong, who puts wealth first, it is difficult to ask him to speak. Xiong Zijian and He Renlong were not sure, but before coming to Quanzhou, Fujian, Su Tiancheng specifically told Xiong Zijian, asking him what to say, he could make those promises, and let Zheng Zhilong choose by himself.

The appeal for human interests comes step by step. From scratch, from small to large, the requirements become higher and higher, so if you can grasp the essential things, you will definitely be able to break through the weaknesses of others.

After Zheng Zhilong was brought in, Xiong Zijian looked very polite.

However, this kind of polite attitude, in Zheng Zhilong's opinion, is very bad, and there must be something wrong with people. After catching himself and his family, what else can he do, it is nothing more than coming for the wealth of the Zheng family, but fortunately, he left behind and secretly hid most of the gold and jewelry, except for Tian Chuansong and Zheng Chenggong and others, no one else knows the Tao.

Zheng Zhilong forced himself to calm down and sat down with a big grin. I didn't say anything polite, this was originally in my own home. Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, if it were not for such an accident, the worship ceremony would be over at this moment, and the family would have gathered to eat, wish each other well, and hope that the coming year will be more smooth. It's a pity that everything doesn't exist anymore. In just over an hour, after learning that there were 3,000 personal soldiers and only more than 200 people around him, Zheng Zhilong knew that he had met his nemesis.

"Lord Zheng. Ming people don't say dark words, this time we came all the way to Quanzhou, but also admire Lord Zheng is rich and rival the country, this wealth is not too much, if Lord Zheng can tell the location of the hidden wealth, everything is easy to say, if you don't want to say, then the official will be sorry. ”

A sneer appeared on Zheng Zhilong's face.

"Lord Xiong, for the New Year, you led the sergeant to break into my house, and asked me to hand over the treasure, I don't know if this is a requirement of the imperial court, not to mention that I Zheng Zhilong has no wealth, just a false name, even if there is a treasure, I'm afraid I won't hand it over, Lord Xiong is so refreshing, I admire it."

Xiong Zijian stood up, a smile on his face.

"Lord Zheng is very refreshing, what I said just now is obviously a resignation, it doesn't matter, it was already expected by me, there are some words, I still have to say it in front, otherwise I will be an official in the same dynasty as you, and my face will not look good."

Zheng Zhilong's muscles on his face twitched, and he didn't speak.

"Lord Zheng has been obedient to the imperial court for several years, and he was appointed as the governor of Tongzhi, from the military attache of the first grade, it is very amazing, so the background of the Zheng family is enough to be enviable, but the rules of the imperial court, Lord Zheng is clear, what it means to disobey the holy decree, Lord Zheng also understands, sent three hundred warships to attack Weihaiwei, this is a rebellion, if I report to the Governor like this, I don't know what the Imperial Court will do, has Lord Zheng thought about it."

Zheng Zhilong's body trembled and quickly regained his composure.

"Thank you Lord Xiong for reminding me, I didn't think of it so much, what Lord Xiong is willing to do, that's your business, I can't influence it, but the emperor and the court have their own justice."

Xiong Zijian suddenly laughed, and Zheng Zhilong, who was laughing, was cold.

"Lord Zheng, you are too naïve, I will say some things, lest you regret it when the time comes, and there is no place to reason."

Zheng Zhilong concentrated his attention and looked at Xiong Zijian, he wanted to know what Xiong Zijian would say.

"After you return to the imperial court, you still dominate the sea, rich and rival the country, what does all this rely on, relying on silver, is the army of warships supported by silver, although you are far away in Fujian, do you think that what you do, the court does not know the way, that can only show that you are naïve, or you know these things, because you hold the army, occupy the hegemony of the sea, it doesn't matter, you may do everything possible to use silver to protect yourself and your family, and you have done well all these years."

"But you ignore a truth, that is, people are watching the sky, what are you thinking in your heart, the emperor will not know the way, the cabinet will not know the way, you think that silver can pass the gods, there are so many adults in the court, you can buy a few people, can you buy the emperor, on the one hand, what you do, the emperor and the court know the way, on the other hand, you are still trying your best to weave a protective net for yourself, do you think it is seamless."

"When you are far away in Fujian and have the army and silver in your hands, you can not care, the emperor and the court will not do anything to you, and you will rely on you to guard the sea area of the Ming Dynasty, but after you lose these things, you should think about what kind of decisions the emperor and the court will make."

"I don't want to fool you, if I escort you to the capital, you don't have a chance to defend yourself, as for what kind of treatment will be encountered, I don't want to talk too much, you have been a pirate, and the imperial army has fought, now with you to send a warship to attack Weihaiwei Wharf, I'm afraid the past will be raised."

"Yes, you have silver, countless silver, it's a pity that you are in prison, you can't manipulate this silver, do you think someone will help you speak, the crime of rebellion, who dares to give up their lives to help you, no matter how much silver you gave people before, I can guarantee that no one will stand up and speak for you, even if there are people who are not interesting to stand up, I am afraid that it will be a disgrace."

"You have experienced a lot of life and death, I'm afraid it's underestimated, it doesn't matter, but what about your family, the crime of rebellion is to be connected with the nine clans, that is to say, your family will be implicated, at that time, you will guard your wealth and go to another world with your family to enjoy it."

"Another point to remind you is that all the family members of the crime of rebellion will be assigned to the Teaching Division, and you know what to do."

After Xiong Zijian's words, Zheng Zhilong, who was still a little hard before, began to turn pale, and his body began to tremble, he knew that Xiong Zijian's words were likely to become a reality, he was originally obedient to the imperial court, to a certain extent, he was also guarded by the imperial court, what he did in Quanzhou was indeed out of line, these things were concentrated, the crime was indeed not small, I am afraid that no one can protect himself, and his family is also implicated.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong's reaction, Xiong Zijian sighed secretly, Master Inspector is amazing, he has grasped the key, in fact, to do these things, Master Inspector needs to spend some energy, and Master Inspector doesn't want to do this.

"Lord Zheng, I tell you very clearly, there are two ways for you to choose, the first is to take out the wealth of the family, the second is to be escorted to the capital by us, take out the wealth of the family, you can protect the family, this is equivalent to nothing happened, but you can't continue to stay in Quanzhou, the family to Dengzhou to live comfortably, the dog Zheng Chenggong and your fourth to participate in the township test, is also very promising, they may be able to glorify their ancestors, as for the unwillingness to take out the wealth, I don't force you, Let that wealth go down with your family. ”

After saying this, Xiong Zijian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Zheng, give you an hour's time, you choose, after an hour, if you don't want to speak, we will leave Quanzhou and escort you and your family to the capital, as for Zheng Hongkui, you can rest assured, you will see him in the capital."

A few minutes later, Zheng Zhilong spoke, not directly saying where the treasure was, but asking if the family could be preserved, Xiong Zijian opened his mouth very happily, and the implication was that doing these things was not a matter for the Supervisor.

After thinking about it for half an hour, Zheng Zhilong finally spoke up and said the location where the gold jewelry was hidden.

Xiong Zijian smiled and said that Lord Zheng is very wise, wealth is something outside the body, and protecting the family is the most important thing, otherwise it will be useless to hold so much gold and jewelry.

Xiong Zijian, who achieved his goal, would not stay in Quanzhou for a long time, but it would take time to carry the Zheng family's gold, silver and jewelry, and after discussing with He Renlong, he decided to leave Quanzhou on the second day of the first lunar month and return to Dengzhou.
