Hangzhou Jinyiwei station

Lu Zonghan looked at the letter in his hand, and the smile on his face became more and more vigorous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the past few days, my brother Ren first broke through Sijiao Mountain and captured Gu Rong, and then supported Zhoushan to defeat thousands of pirates, it's really amazing."

Song Liben stood aside respectfully, his expression was indifferent, following Ren Siqi for more than half a year, he had experienced too many battles, and he had wandered in the pirate's lair, and he was no longer the lucky teller of the wandering side before, even in front of the notorious leader of the Jinyi Guard.

"My family inspector said that among the friends he knows, Lord Lu is the most heartfelt, so I will ask Lord Lu for this matter."

Lu Zonghan laughed when he heard this: "I didn't say anything about my friendship with Brother Ren, you go back and tell Brother Ren, I will immediately send someone to send the news to Nanjing, and ensure that it will be faster than the letter from the Zhejiang Command Envoy to Nanjing to report the victory." ”

Over the past year or so, since he met Ren Siqi, Lu Zonghan's official fortune has been prosperous, from 100 households to 1,000 households, and he is in charge of the entire Zhejiang Jinyi and Health System. And Ren Siqi is very good at being a man, and he gave Lu Zonghan a large amount of silver taels openly and secretly, and Lu Zonghan is naturally willing to help Ren Siqi in his quest to get Zhoushan generals. In fact, he couldn't help much, that is, he quickly and truthfully reported the battle that happened in Zhoushan to Nanjing for the reference of the Nanjing Military Department.

After coming out of the Jinyi Wei Yamen, Lu Zonghan went to the Hangzhou Prefect's Yamen, and the Hangzhou Prefect Li Qiankuan's cooperation with Ren Siqi earned a large sum of silver. This time, Ren Siqi asked Li Qiankuan to operate in front of the governor of Zhejiang and help him obtain the position of Zhoushan counselor. Ren Siqi assured Li Qiankuan that as long as Li Qiankuan helped Yucheng in this matter, he would help Li Qiankuan smuggle 1,000 quintals of raw silk every year.

Since secretly doing the smuggling business, Li Qiankuan has earned tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. With this income, he did not have to be corrupt and bribed, and he won a good official reputation in the officialdom. Last year, his evaluation was excellent, and there should be no problem in becoming a prefect again.

The cooperation with Ren Siqi is different from the previous cooperation with Fu Chun, Fu Chun is relying on his Hangzhou prefect to do maritime trade business safely, but Ren Siqi is different, Ren Siqi himself is a member of Ningbo, a member of the scholars, and now has the official position of Daishan inspection, which can completely put aside him Li Qiankuan to do maritime trade by himself.

So now Li Qiankuan is relying on Ren Siqi to make money, and he naturally dare not refuse to ask Ren Siqi.

Li Qiankuan told Song Liben that he had already gone to the yamen of the governor of Zhejiang to meet the governor Zhang Bingzhen, the captured bandit leader Gu Rong, and a pirate leader, and that there was no problem with Ren Siqi's contribution this time. Governor Zhang Bingzhen had already reported the victory to the Nanjing Military Department, and the messenger who reported the victory was already on the way. However, whether Ren Siqi can get the position of Zhoushan general depends on the meaning of the Nanjing Military Department. Li Qiankuan asked Song Liben to go back and tell Ren Siqi to go to Nanjing as soon as possible to operate this matter.

Song Liben stayed in Hangzhou for three days, and after receiving Li Qiankuan's reply, he immediately returned to Cen Port by boat.

At this moment, Ren Siqi was in a bad mood, because Huang Fengwu had just left in anger.

After Huang Binqing returned to Zhoushan City, he found that the captured pirate Gu Rong had been forcibly taken away by Ren Siqi, so he knew that the big thing was not good, and immediately asked his daughter to go to Cen Gang to see Ren Siqi.

In the end, the father and daughter are of the same heart, Huang Fengwu naturally didn't want to see his father dismissed, so he took a boat to Cen Port. Who knew that as soon as the ship got off the ship, it was seen by the shopkeepers of Cen Gang, which was under the jurisdiction of the Zhoushan General Mansion, and the shopkeepers naturally knew the daughter of Huang Binqing, the general who had always been flamboyant.

The money shopkeeper stopped Huang Fengwu and cried to her about Ren Siqi's cunning and seizure of their goods, and their pitiful appearance of crying and crying suddenly won Huang Fengwu's sympathy.

After seeing Ren Siqi, Huang Fengwu asked about it. Ren Siqi readily admitted the matter and asked Huang Fengwu to leave them alone.

"Although their goods were stolen by pirates, since you have taken them back from the pirates, you should return them, otherwise what is the difference between them and pirates?" Huang Fengwu said angrily to Ren Siqi.

"You're saying I'm a pirate?" Ren Siqi's face sank suddenly, "Those people came to Cen Port to open shops, what business can be done in such a desolate fishing port?" They are just taking advantage of the remoteness of Cen Gang to smuggle, the Ming Dynasty has a national policy, and the sails are not allowed to go to the sea, for these smuggling merchants, you Zhoushan General Mansion just ignore them, and now you still protect them? ”

Of course, Huang Fengwu knew that most of the merchants in Cen Gang were smugglers, but in the coastal areas these days, smuggling had become a common practice, and everyone took it for granted, and besides, the duty of the Zhoushan General Office was to prevent Japanese and theft, and to protect Zhoushan, a large coastal island, and it was not its duty to inspect smuggling.

Seeing Ren Siqi's face sank, Huang Fengwu's anger was suddenly stimulated.

"Do you have a reason to rob other people's goods? Saying that people are smugglers, what do you rely on for a small inspection department in Daishan to raise so many ship soldiers? Isn't it also smuggling? Huang Fengwu has a fiery temper, she has to say something in her heart, but she regrets it as soon as she says it, Ren Siqi came to Zhoushan for her, and now she shouldn't treat him indiscriminately.

"I'm sorry, I, I, I shouldn't have said that." Huang Fengwu muttered apologies.

"You're right, don't apologize," Ren Siqi and Huang Fengwu have been together for so long, and they also understand her temper, especially after the last night talk on the boat, the relationship between the two seems to be much closer all of a sudden, Huang Fengwu is a lot more coquettish when she speaks, Ren Siqi naturally knows what this is, only when a woman sees a man as a lover will talk like this. But Ren Siqi didn't dare to accept her friendship, because he had something ulterior in his heart.

"You're right, no need to apologize, I'm smuggling too. But I am a Daishan patrol, and it is also my duty to inspect smuggling, so when I see smugglers, I have to investigate, and if I don't arrest them, I will cheapen them, and dare to ask me for goods? ”

"You, you," Huang Fengwu was angered by Ren Siqi's unreasonable words, ah, you smuggle yourself, but you don't allow others to do such a thing, what is the reason?

"You, you, you're simply unreasonable." Huang Feng snorted angrily.

"Miss Huang is there anything else to do?" Ren Siqi asked lightly.

At this moment, how could Huang Fengwu still tell her father's affairs, and walked out with her legs.

"It's all right! I'm just here to see some bastard! ”

Ren Siqi looked at Huang Fengwu's departing back expressionlessly, but he felt a little heartache in his heart. (To be continued.) )
