Five military camp yamen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because this building is newly built, so the air is still filled with a smell of varnish, the structure of masonry and the structure of the triple outside the hollow character building, the more you go inside, the more you feel secluded, leaning on the left and right sides of the main hall are the office of the scribes, at this time the five military camps have just been raised, so the scribes are sorting out some official documents from the past county and government offices, and disposing of these official documents in separate files.

At this time, Liu Chengfeng, who was dressed in a python suit, appeared with Wen Zheng, the general of the five military camps, and many scribes couldn't help but look at it from a distance through the window.

Liu Chengfeng walked into the lobby, the smell here was very unpleasant, and the new furniture and buildings all had an unfamiliar smell, but at this time, he didn't care about anything else, glanced at Wen Zheng, and said with a pleasant face: "Where is the head of the Wynn firm who escaped now, go and call him, the Lone King has something to ask him." ”

Wen Zheng nodded, originally these little things were personally inquired by a person of Liu Chengfeng's status, but Wen Zheng also knew that Liu Chengfeng was born in a criminal name after all, and some habits that he had developed over time were not changed just by saying that they would be changed, and if this case involved the chaotic party, then it would be extraordinary, he naturally knew that his son-in-law attached great importance to his enthronement ceremony, and he could not make any mistakes.

Wen Zheng called a scribe and gave a few orders, but the scribe nodded, and then hurried out.

Someone gave Liu Chengfeng and Wen Zheng tea, Liu Chengfeng drank tea slowly, but he didn't have the leisure to talk to Wen Zheng, at this time, his mind was thinking about the case, Wen Zheng also felt that the responsibility was heavy, the general of the fifth military battalion had just taken office and there was a big case, although Liu Chengfeng intervened in this matter, but he couldn't be idle.

After a stick of incense, a person was brought in, the steward's face was obviously not recovered, still pale, after coming in, he saluted in a proper manner, raised his eyes to look at Liu Chengfeng, and couldn't tell Liu Chengfeng's identity for a while, just said an adult.

Wen Zheng sat aside and slammed the table with his fist, and said: "This is His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the matter of your Wynn Firm, His Royal Highness intends to personally inquire about it, you have to reply carefully, and you can't be deceived." ”

"Yes......" The steward suddenly bowed to the ground with a look of sincere fear, and said, "The villain has seen His Highness." ”

Liu Chengfeng said with a pleasant face: "Don't be polite, the lonely king knows that you must have suffered a lot when you escaped back all the way, come, sit down and talk back, the lonely king is not here to judge you, but to ask some details, you don't have to be nervous, just tell what happened at that time." ”

The steward chick nodded like a pecking rice and said, "Yes, the villain will never dare to deceive." Then he stood up cautiously, and someone brought him a chair, and he sat down with his buttocks, and a scribe poured him tea, and the steward held the tea in his hand and looked a little restrained, and refused to drink it.

Liu Chengfeng said: "What's your name?" ”

"Villain Zhang Shicheng."

"Zhang Shicheng? This name Lone King sounds a bit taboo. Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but make a joke.

However, Liu Chengfeng made a joke, but he didn't scare this Zhang Shicheng half to death, Zhang Shicheng hurriedly said: "It's a secular world, a successful success, my father has no knowledge, and I don't know any allusions, and he also obtained a name indiscriminately at that time, so His Royal Highness laughed." ”

Liu Chengfeng pressed his hand, and said: "The lonely king doesn't mean to ask about the crime, okay, Zhang Shicheng, you now tell you all about going to sea and being robbed." The lonely king knows that this is a painful experience for you, and anyone who encounters such a thing is afraid and unwilling to think about it again, so you say it slowly. ”

Zhang Shicheng took a deep breath and nodded, as a steward, he had seen the world more or less, and Liu Chengfeng's performance was very kind and cordial, which also removed his guard a lot, Zhang Shicheng said: "Here's the thing, at the beginning of this year, the firm received this batch of goods, which were sent to Luzon, but not purchased by the Luzon court. ”

Liu Chengfeng frowned and said, "If it wasn't purchased by their imperial court, who has such financial resources?" ”

Zhang Shicheng said: "It is said that there are rebels in Luzon, which have spread to several provinces, and these rebels seem to have been funded by the Francois people, so they purchased these firearms." The major trading houses of the Ming Dynasty have always been only in charge of doing business, as long as they abide by the rules of the government that they are not allowed to sell the latest firearms to private individuals or foreign domains, and someone gives silver, everyone will naturally do business with him. ”

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but think in his heart, if this is the case, this batch of firearms is a thief who colluded with the Francois people, then there should be no reason for the Francos to take such a big risk to loot this batch of goods. Of course, this is not necessarily not the plan of the Francois people, they want to buy firearms, so that these thieves ask for delivery, so that the movement of this batch of firearms should be under the attention of the Francois people, since they know that the other party has shipped, but also know which ships are consigned, and know where they must go, the time and place seem to have been fully occupied, and it seems to be convenient to loot.

Zhang Shicheng continued: "At the beginning of April, the goods were already loaded onto the ship, because this batch of goods was the most important, and it was loaded with gunpowder, so the owner was very cautious, and repeatedly told us to be careful when we left. ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Be careful of what? ”

Zhang Shicheng said: "Naturally, be careful of the Luzon court, if the Luzon court learns the news, it will naturally send someone to intercept it." ”

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but nod his head, yes, these firearms belong to the Luzon thieves, how can the Luzon royal court be indifferent? In this way...... Even this Luzon royal court is suspicious?

But did the Luzon royal court have such strength?

Zhang Shicheng continued: "After the fleet went to sea, we have been going south along the waterway, things seem to be going well, almost to the Luzon Sea, we were nervous at that time, because this batch of goods is related to the thief, so we did not take the ordinary waterway, but find another way, the waterway has long been abandoned, so there are not many ships, that night is March 19, the weather is exceptionally sunny, but there is some light rain at night, the wind and waves at sea are not small, and at this time, There was still a fleet in front of us, this fleet was the same as our fleet, it was also four, all of them were huge lucky ships, and everyone who walked on the sea knew that most of the lucky ships were ships loaded with goods, and they could never be pirates, so we didn't care at the time, but just when the two sides were staggered, the other party suddenly released a rope cannon......"

When he said this, Zhang Shicheng's face became extremely nervous, and he said with fear: "Your Highness may not know, this rope cannon is shot out of the cannon with the strongest rope to contain the sharp anchor and shoot it out of the cannon. These thieves climbed along the cable with knives and guns to our side, and their numbers were so large that more than 200 people were killed on the small ship alone, and the sailors on board knew that if they were attacked at sea, if they could not resist, they would surely die, so everyone took weapons and fought the pirates. ”

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say, "Why don't you use the firecracker?" And with them in close combat. ”

Zhang Shicheng said: "The ship is full of a large amount of gunpowder, so who dares to use firearms unless it is a last resort?" ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded, under normal circumstances, ships going to sea will bring some firearms and gunpowder, but because there are not many of them, these gunpowders are sealed layer by layer, and there are many heavy protective measures, so even if there is danger, it will not be a big problem to use firearms, but the ships of the Wynn fleet are different, this is a ship full of gunpowder, once there is a mistake, it is all the bones of all the people.

Zhang Shicheng almost trembled and said: "Although we tried our best to resist, but we were outnumbered, they turned over from all over the ship, and they were all well-trained, one by one, the brothers fell to the ground one by one, what is the situation of other ships, the villain does not know, only knows that the Changsheng where the villain is has almost fallen, I took the opportunity with a few sailors to release the lifeboat, while the pirates were fighting on the front side, they quickly escaped, and floated in the sea for seven or eight days, almost to the point of exhaustion, Some of his companions had died of their injuries, and the rest had starved to death, and the villain had fainted at that time, when a boat passed by and rescued the villain from the boat, and he escaped from life. ”

When Zhang Shicheng said this, he couldn't cry anymore, that terrible experience, and many familiar people suddenly parted from life and death, and it was difficult to bear it if it was any one person.

Liu Chengfeng listened silently, but did not forget: "That's the matter? For example, have you met these pirates, what is their accent, what is their appearance, are they Han Chinese or Francophile? ”

Zhang Shicheng said: "The villain only heard someone say something in a Chinese language, and the situation was chaotic and noisy at that time, as for what accent was used, but I don't know, but from that sentence, we can know that this person must be a Han person." ”

It's Han Chinese...... So you can rule out the Francophone man? Even the suspicion of the Luzon people can be reduced a lot.
