In Hangzhou City, Lu Zonghan, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, escorted more than 20 pirates to swagger through the city, which immediately caused a sensation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hangzhou Mansion, Li Qiankuan is anxiously turning around in the back office.

Footsteps sounded, and the butler hurried in.

"How? Is it really a Daishan pirate? Li Qiankuan asked anxiously without waiting for the housekeeper to stand firm.

"Yes, that's them." The housekeeper gasped for breath and replied, "It took me five taels of silver to get accurate information from a Jinyi guard, and I heard that it was the Daishan pirates that Lu Baihu and Yin County Xiucai Ren Siqi exterminated. ”

"How so?" Li Qiankuan sat down in a daze, "This pirate of Daishan is really a fucking bunch of waste, there is so much silver that I don't know how to recruit troops and buy horses, and it was destroyed like this, if it involves the head of this official, how can it be done?" "The Daishan pirates looted Changshapu at his behest, and he was afraid that the matter would involve him.

"What about your nephew, hurry up and give him a sum of silver, and let him get out of the way for me." Li Qiankuan said to the housekeeper.

"Don't worry, my nephew said that he didn't reveal his relationship with you at all, and the pirates didn't know." The housekeeper's words relieved Li Qian a little.

"Let's let him out and avoid the limelight. By the way, what's going on with that Yinxian show? , but the Ren Xiucai of the 'Fuchun'? Li Qiankuan asked.

"Yes, my lord, I will let my nephew go back to his hometown when I go back." The housekeeper agreed, "It is that Ren Siqi Ren Xiucai, it is said that some time ago he was imprisoned for his crimes, and the pirates in the same prison escaped from prison and coerced him out, so he arrived on the 'Fuchun', and somehow there was a big ship." Later, the new county magistrate of Yin County confirmed that he had been wronged, washed away his grievances, and the great master also restored his fame. ”

The housekeeper told Li Qiankuan in detail what he had heard.

"This show is a character!" Li Qiankuan sighed and said, "Fu Bin and the others are destroyed, and we have one less way to make money, since this Xiucai has a ship, do you think we can partner with him and continue to do this sea trade?" ”

"My lord, do you want to cooperate with that Xiucai?" The butler asked.

"Why not, he has a ship, I have power, it is a match made in heaven. In this case, you can go to that Xiucai and talk to him about cooperation. Li Qiankuan was impatient, with the death of Dai Bin and others, he had one less way to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, and now he had to think of making up for the loss.

"But is that Xiucai willing to cooperate with us? He has caught up with the brocade guard, and has other ways. The butler said.

"You tell him that if you don't cooperate with us, don't think of purchasing goods in Hangzhou, and don't even think about coming to Hangzhou Wharf!" Li Qiankuan said domineeringly.

"But my lord, Naxiu is from Ningbo, so there is no need to come to Hangzhou." The butler reminded.

"So what, as long as he doesn't go to sea in Yuegang, he is going to sea illegally, and he violates the law of Daming. I would be able to do his sin. He is a scholar with a reputation for showing off his talents, and he must know that everything he wants to do in Daming must be supported by the government. Besides, he has a connection with the pirate Mao Eighteen, it's not as simple as being coerced by the pirate, we have Mao Liu as a witness, with this handle in our hands, he will figure it out. Li Qiankuan said, "But he definitely can't accept the conditions of our previous cooperation with Fu Chun, alas, let's relax some conditions, you go and talk to him, our bottom line is fifty-fifty!" ”

In Li Qiankuan's opinion, with his identity as the prefect of Hangzhou, it is naturally not a problem to crush a small Xiucai, who only has something to do with Jinyiwei, and I haven't heard that there are other backstage. But what about Jinyiwei, this is not the year of the Apocalypse, under the suppression of the righteous people and gentlemen in the court, the factory guard has long lost its former majesty!

The housekeeper agreed, and he immediately went to the Ren Xiucai to discuss the partnership.

Li Qiankuan walked around the hall of the back office, thinking, and still faintly uneasy in his heart. It's because of the fact that he once contacted the pirates, and he can't let Jinyiwei find out about it!

"Come on, go find that Mao Liu!" Li Qiankuan found a subordinate and commanded.

Not long after, Mao Liu walked in. Mao Liu, a former crew member of the "Fuchun", made a meritorious contribution because he revealed the details of the "Fuchun" to Li Qiankuan, and Li Qiankuan made him an errand officer of the government office.

Kowtowed respectfully to Li Qiankuan: "Humble Mao Liu has seen an adult!" ”

"Mao Liu, I want you to do something for me." Li Qiankuan said to Mao Liudao in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, just command!" Mao Liu lowered his eyebrows and said.

"You should know the butler's nephew, you go and kill him for me quietly!" Li Qiankuan's gloomy and sympathetic words made Mao Liu startled.

"What? Not happy? Li Qiankuan asked impatiently.

"Yes, sir. I'll go. Mao Liu gritted his teeth and agreed, he didn't dare to disobey Li Qiankuan, who had mastered his own life and future.

"After killing someone, don't stay in Hangzhou, go find that Ren Siqi Ren Xiucai." Li Qiankuan's words surprised Mao Liu, he leaked the news of the "Fuchun" in order to get a position in the government, but he didn't expect that now Li Qiankuan would let him get back on board.

"I plan to cooperate with that Ren Xiucai, you get on his ship as my internal response, as long as you do this well, I will promise you a future for the head of the third class of officials." Li Qiankuan saw through Mao Liu's thoughts and promised.

Team leader, if you are the team leader, then you can walk sideways in Hangzhou City! Mao Liu's eyes were red when he was seduced by this position, and he immediately agreed.

Looking at the back of Mao Liu's departure, Li Qiankuan stroked his beard with satisfaction, everything was under his control.

Renjiawan

Ren Siqi was delighted to see Hu Deji, the short and fat rich man who had suffered together on the canal boat. At the beginning, in order to repay Ren Siqi for saving his life, Hu Deji promised to hand over 100 quintals of raw silk from his family to Ren Siqi, and wait for Ren Siqi to come back from overseas to settle the payment. Now he promised to transport a hundred quintals of raw silk to Renjiawan by boat.

"Brother Hu came at the right time!" There were another hundred loads of raw silk cargo, which made Ren Siqi very happy, but now it was only enough for one shipload of goods, counting the raw silk and all kinds of goods seized from the pirate's lair, the cabin of the "Flying Fish" was full, but the cabin of the "Fuchun" was empty.

"Brother Xiucai, how can this work, I said that I would settle the silver when the ship came back from overseas, why did you give it to me now." Hu Deji was very surprised that Ren Siqi settled the payment on the spot, a load of raw silk eighty taels of silver, looking at Ying Yang worth eight thousand taels of silver, Hu Deji asked puzzledly.

"Brother, I'm not short of money now, just bad goods!" With more than 100,000 taels of silver seized from the pirate's lair, Ren Siqi's confidence is now very strong.
