Chapter 0212. Widows, traitors
Dengzhou Port, which has been born for more than a year, is also known as White Harbor, the reason is that the houses here are all supervised by Qi Wangfu, with bamboo wood as the reinforcement, brick and stone casting walls, cement bonding, the outermost layer is uniformly brushed with lime, which looks neat and neat, and is strong and fast, and the only one with the traditional architectural style of the Tang Dynasty is only the wooden eaves and arches of the roof and the corridor lined out on the second floor.

However, in this pure white city, there are still dark places, such as in the dungeon of Dengzhou Mansion, in the dark underground prison, committing adultery, petty theft, murder and arson, perverts are everywhere, the city is prosperous, and these underworld forces have come out irrepressibly, and Li You, who is disturbed, is also annoyed.
However, in the innermost room, the pirate Yamamoto Sanfat, who was supposed to be among them, swaggered outside the prison door, and pointed to the inside of the cell with sadness and shouted: "It's him, the lackey of the Wa King, Su I half of the city, stationed in the Zi Clan, absolutely can't be wrong!" Back then, my whole family was forced to die by this dog thief! ”
However, Yamamoto's big enemy, a short and fat man wearing a silk robe and also a lewd mustache, was covered with black blood at the corners of his mouth, and the wounds with arrows on his body emitted a strong smell, and he didn't care about the three fat Yamamoto who cried for his father and called his mother, Li Jie was holding a map stained with black blood, and his brows were wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
The first task of the Pirate Guild was to let this Yamamoto Sanfat take it, and near the mountain island off the coast of Dengzhou, it hijacked the three merchant ships of the Xiao family, but brought back a big problem to Li Jie.
On the merchant ship of the Xiao family, the high-ranking nobles of the Japanese Kingdom were captured, and the map of Dengzhou Port was also searched from the Japanese people, which is intriguing.
However, in order not to leak the secrets, the guys on the Xiao family's merchant ship were all thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, if it wasn't for the discovery of this big enemy when cleaning the battlefield, Su I Bancheng would not have been brought back, but unfortunately looking at the hedgehog that was shot because of his bravery and the general Su I Bancheng was dying, Li Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly, it is estimated that even if this guy wants to say it, he can't say anything.
"Yamamoto-kun, this matter is very good, from today onwards you are a senior member of the Pirate Guild, enjoy a twenty-percent discount treatment at the Denglai Shipyard, and there will be a better price for the disposal of stolen goods, I will go to Lei Bi'er to handle it later, go down."
Being called a gentleman by the nobles of the Tang Dynasty really made Yamamoto Sanfat excited, but listening to Li Jie's next instructions, he gritted his teeth and shook his head and refused: "Thank you for the rewards, but the little ones don't want these rewards, and ask the nobles to give back this widow to the villain, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
Anyway, this Suwu Bancheng has no use value, Li Jie is also willing to be a favor, waved his hand to let the cell head drop the key, and led people out of the prison by themselves, not a few steps, even the dying Sume Bancheng behind him let out a burst of screams and wails.
Back to the Qi Palace, in the Tianyuan Palace, the mushroom house where King Li You of Qi met yesterday, Li Jie couldn't help but be disappointed, and Li You's cronie Liang Mengbiao's bearded face was full of humble smiles: "His Royal Highness King Shuo, I'm really sorry, I didn't say when I would come back when my prince left, but the prince explained, King Shuo's words are his words, what do you have to say, just tell the villain." ”
"It's okay, Lone needs you to immediately transfer troops and fully monitor the Xiao family's stronghold in Dengzhou City, but don't startle the snake, can you do it?" In addition to being disappointed, Li Jie still ordered, Liang Mengbiao immediately patted his chest with confidence and responded: "King Shuo, don't worry, Denglai is one acre and three points of land, that is, a fly is the male and female, His Royal Highness wants to know, and the ministers can find out!" ”
"So much best, go for it!"
I have to say that the efficiency of the Qi Wangfu is really high, but also thanks to the advantages of geographical advantages, in addition to some ancient cities, the coastal area of this era has always been desolate, and the plastered land of Qi is all in Qizhou, that is, on the Great Plains near Jinan.
In just over a year, Denglai and Denglai were so rich that the Qidi wealthy family was dumbfounded, and when they wanted to intervene again, Li You's power in the two places was already deep-rooted, and they couldn't get in at all, and they had to shrink back after suffering a few big losses, so Li You had absolute control over the two ports, and hundreds of Dengzhou troops were arranged in half a day near the Xiao family's shop in the south of the city.
On the rich restaurant near Xiao's house, standing at the window of the three-story building, Li Jie was still frowning, and a large number of binoculars went down, as if he didn't know anything about the loss of the ship, and the Xiao family was still busy as usual, continuing business, or cleaning the yard, it was also this Xiao family who had a criminal record before, Li You also sent people to still monitor non-stop, leaving a lot of surveillance reports, Li Jie's eyebrows curled higher.
"Lang Jun, what's wrong?"
Originally covered with a deep mark on the red wrist, Wu Meiniang was still angry and pretending to be reserved, last night Li Jie wanted to play a thrill, but she was miserable, first suffered Li Jie's great desire, in the morning this villain did not untie her, the harmful Wu Meiniang in the quilt with her little hands tangled for a long time, then endured the shame and anger to call the maid to untie her, embarrassed to think about it now blushing.
However, looking at Li Jie's worried appearance, Wu Meiniang finally relented and took the initiative to ask, which made Li Jie sigh and handed over the map in the morning.
"This was found on the Japanese nobles captured on the Xiao family's merchant ship."
Suspiciously, she took the map, just looked at it for the first time, Wu Meiniang's eyes were round, and the map in front of her almost included the entire Dengzhou Port, the half-moon-shaped protected bay, the anchorage of merchant ships, the location of the barracks city wall, and even the military port and the protective position of the shipyard were vaguely marked, especially next to the dock, and a circle was drawn with a red pen.
"The Xiao family is going to be bad for Dengzhou!" In just over ten seconds, after putting down the map, Wu Meiniang bluntly judged that Jin Shengman, who was pouring tea behind her, was trembling at first, and then her beautiful eyes showed excitement.
"Indeed, after the turmoil of the Xiao family, more than two-thirds of the land was deprived, and now most of the income of this generation of royal family is pressed on the trade routes, at sea, the power of the Xiao family in Jiankang has been greatly affected, and the shipbuilding capacity is even weaker.
Nodding in agreement, Li Jie sighed again, shook his head helplessly and said: "Now your family Langjun is not worried about the invasion of foreign enemies, our fleet strength is still there, but internal unstable factors are not excluded, Dengzhou has always been like a spark buried, if you want to draw such a detailed map, it is not possible without a large number of people, but the Xiao family is here, there is really no change." ”
So the business and action records are traceable, the Xiao family is really like a good baby, even better than the wealthy families in Qizhou, looking down, Li Jie angrily threw the record to Wu Meiniang.
Looking at those records with a gloomy face, Wu Meiniang was also silent for a long time, and after a while, she also threw away the records and accompanied Li Jie to look at the Xiao family compound below, behind the two, only Jin Shengman, a noble person of the Silla Holy Bone, was still preparing a tea set with resentment, and downstairs, there was a street where people came and went.
"Bastard, I don't want to live anymore, dare to rush into Uncle Ben!"
The crisp slap accompanied by the scolding suddenly sounded downstairs, followed by the sound of punching and kicking, and the ugly screams begging for mercy: "Ya Yan Butterfly~"
It's no more ordinary, there are a lot of slaves looted by pirates in Dengju, and a Japanese slave bumps into a rich merchant, if a rich merchant of the Tang Dynasty may have the cultivation to reprimand two sentences in the past, but it is a rich Goguryeo merchant, since the third century, Goguryeo has been stumbling in Baekje, and the Japanese people who support Baekje have stumbled, which will make the rich merchant take advantage of the problem and simply fight.
Just a sentence of Ya Yan Butterfly attracted a little Li Jie's interest, looked down and saw that it was a man, and immediately looked away from the lack of interest, Wu Meiniang's gaze did not leave, after pondering for a while, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly slapped her little brain and shouted: "The concubine knows!" ”
Listening to Wu Meiniang's excited narration, Li Jie's eyes immediately lit up, and he turned around and shouted at the door of the building: "Jiao Laosan, little white face, don't eat, hurry up and prepare the car, now let's go to the dock!" ”
The location of Dengzhou City is quite elegant, the semi-circular two mountains stretch out to the sea to form a natural haven, the mountains are also lined with trees and people are inaccessible, a large area in the south is a commercial port, a small piece of the back is wrapped in the peninsula arc The safest is the core of the entire Dengzhou Port, the shipyard.
In the dock, more than 20,000 craftsmen sweated like rain in the sea water and kept building big ships, and were stimulated by Li Jie's Shuowang on the sea and became jealous, a sixty-meter-long sea Qiwang has been out of most of the prototype, because Li You urged the work very tightly, it is even more busy here, and the Han technical craftsmen are desperately supervising the construction while drinking hot tea, not to mention those Japanese and Silla slaves.
Under the urging of the torturers and whips, the hammers and saws of these people could hardly stop for a moment, half of their bodies were soaked in the sea water and were white and swollen, and the upper half of their bodies were frozen purple when exposed to the cold sea breeze, and sweat flowed all the time.
"Tenth Regiment, up, Eighth Regiment, up!" The order of the overseer immediately made the slaves who worked like a pardon, and they were ten times more tired than Foxconn, but there was no salary, and a moment of rest made these slaves like heaven, without saying a word, they lost their tools and hurried ashore, and the new slaves of the 10th Regiment went to the sea like mourners, crying for their fathers and mothers.
"Ichiro Yamaguchi, you have relatives coming to visit, come with Lao Tzu!"
Suddenly someone in the overseer shouted, and under the envious eyes of the slaves, a young slave with a pale face and trembling body shook out of the queue, followed by a muscular overseer man out of the shipyard.
At the door of the high wall, there were already fat and fat Japanese merchants wearing Chinese silk waiting there, as soon as they saw the overseer come out, they immediately smiled and stuffed a large handful of silver into the overseer's hand, looking at the shiny silver, the overseer immediately showed greed, snorted coldly and pushed out the young Japanese slave behind him, and coldly warned: "Uncle Ben has also taken a lot of risks, if it weren't for the fact that you Japanese people also understand filial piety ethics, I won't give you this opportunity at all, hurry up!" ”
"Yes, yes, this filial piety uncle you drink tea."
Another handful of silver was stuffed over, and the overseer swaggered to the side to look at the wind, and leaned against the slave, and the "Father of the Wa Kingdom", who had just been kind, immediately became fierce, and asked in a low voice, "How is the workshop that you have been inspecting?" ”
"My family, my mother, wife and children, what's going on?" After a moment's hesitation, the slave asked earnestly.
