Chapter 233: Pursuit

The ship moved slowly, and it seemed that the sky was moving with it. At this moment, Masarashi stood quietly on the bow of the ship, looking at the sea in the distance.

The sea breeze blows in the face, dips into the bottom of my heart, cool, and carries the smell of the sea. Today, the sea breeze is relatively strong, and I can see the sea water in the distance rolling up layers of waves.

It's been two days since that night, and at this moment Masahiro is already standing on the bow of the ship on the return trip.

The results of that night were quite embarrassing.

From the information provided by the fat man, Masato came to some results.

Zhang Tuiguan's batch of goods was robbed by the original thief of the cottage occupied by Zhengliang, and it was Zhengliang who obtained the goods. After losing the goods, Zhang Tuiguan was unable to trade with the Japanese and had to temporarily take away the firearms in the treasury of Ningbo Mansion.

Unexpectedly, when the goods were extracted, several craftsmen on duty in the workshop were alarmed, and in order to kill people, these craftsmen were put into prison by the people sent by Zhang Tuiguan without even having a chance to avenge their grievances, and they were killed on the same day, and they were also caused to be thrown into the warehouse and finally committed suicide in fear of crime. And these unjustly killed craftsmen are the families of the craftsmen in Zhang Qian's yard.

And the fat man is the second uncle of the stone, the second uncle who took advantage of the loneliness of the two brothers and sisters of the stone to help them, and the result was to rob the family business of the two brothers and sisters. What's even more embarrassing is that before he died, the fat man also told an astonishing fact that Shi's mother was killed. Before the death of Shi's mother, she went to Zhang Tuiguan's house as a servant, but she was too handsome because of her beauty. That day. Huahua is too handsome and comes back drunk, and meets the mother of the stone who has just finished washing her clothes in the yard, and the result is from the heart, and after drinking off the other servants, she pounces on the mother of the stone. Stone's mother panicked and ducked. He fell into a well in the courtyard and died.

And the fat man just received a dispatch from Zhang Tuiguan to deal with the tail of the hand, and finally temporarily occupied the remaining family business of the two brothers and sisters.

In the end, the fat man still died, and he was stabbed by Zhengliang. For the tiger, even if he is allowed to go back to get the antidote, and even becomes a thorn in Zhang Tuiguan's heart, it cannot change the essence of his evil. It is better to get rid of such people as soon as possible.

As for the stone, after hearing the truth about his mother's death, he was also sad and indignant. Zhengliang had to persuade him with good words. After all, the fat man who was the accomplice had died, and Huahua, who was the real murderer, was too handsome and would die soon, and the only thing left was Zhang Tuiguan. But neither Shi nor Masara has the strength to deal with the other party now, only to wait for the future strength is enough. Let's do the math again.

For this reason, Zhengliang made an agreement with the stone, that is, the stone can follow Zhengliang to learn art, and after learning art in the future, he can come back to avenge his mother and relatives, and eradicate the last enemy.

In addition to these embarrassing things. Zhengliang also dotted the gains and losses of this trip to the Ming Kingdom.

The first was the smooth laying of a trade route from Daming to Japan. This trade route has the Luo family represented by Zhengliang, the maritime smuggler represented by Wang Hai, and the local wealthy merchant represented by Zhu Zining, which constitute a complete maritime trade route. At the same time, by the way, it also took a road of private salt at sea, in the future. The salt lord You Swordsman will cooperate with the Luo family to sell illicit salt.

Secondly, more than a dozen Ming orphans and dozens of Ming country refugees were obtained. More importantly, more than a dozen Ming craftsmen have been obtained. These more than a dozen craftsmen and their families will officially become the lords of the Luo family, providing basic weapons and skills for the Luo family. Meantime. Masato also recruited two powerful retainers. Liu Le, as an authentic Ming person, can deal with matters related to Ming immigrants for Zhengliang. And the Jurchen Aguta is not only a fierce general in mountain warfare, but also a hawksmith with two Haidongqing. With these two Haidongqing, it is like putting two eyes in the sky for Zhengliang, and it will definitely bring help to Zhengliang on the battlefield in the future. …,

After the end, a lot of materials were harvested. The first thing is to get a total of 30 fires, plus the fires given by Wang Hai last time in the territory, there are already 31 fires in the territory, plus the little Franc cannon, you can completely form a firefighter. Although it can't become the main force in the war, as a surprise attack force, it can completely surprise the opponent. In addition, more than 400 taels of silver and 500 taels of gold were harvested. Silver was used as a fund for future immigrants, and Masahiro stayed in the cottage. As for the gold, after giving You Jianxia and Wang Hai 100 taels respectively, Zhengliang still had 300 taels left. It's a lot of money.

"Ding Ding Ding ......" Just when the political conscience was thinking about the death of this trip to the Ming Kingdom, there was a sound of metal knocking on the sea ahead.

"What's going on?" Masara looked ahead, but saw nothing but a blue sea.

"Childe, what came just now was the sound of the pirates gathering before they launched an attack, there must have been a naval battle in the sea area ahead, and one of the parties must be pirates," a sailor ran over and said loudly.

"What?" Masahiro was taken aback. After separating from You Jianxia that night, Zhengliang led everyone to Hangzhou Bay where the ship docked non-stop. At this time, Wang Hai had already led the Luo family's supplies and new people to the sea three days ago. Zhengliang took the ship that Wang Hai intended to leave behind and went to sea overnight, and now he has been sailing at sea for two days and is about to leave the coastal range of the Ming Kingdom. But why did you encounter a naval battle at this time?

You must know that the boat where Zhengliang is located, plus the five subordinates left by Wang Hai to be responsible for rowing, there are only thirteen people in total, and the weapons are only a few long knives and three bows and arrows. There are still ten guns and five boxes of gunpowder on board, but no one knows how to use them. According to Masaliang's idea, after returning to the territory, he would select people to be taught how to use the fire system by a few fire master craftsmen who defected this time, but now he has encountered such a thing.

"Quick, steer, try to avoid the sea ahead," Masarashi ordered immediately. Naval warfare is like a whirlpool, as long as you get on the edge, you will be pulled into the whirlpool if you are not careful, so Masayo decided to avoid it as much as possible.

Under the orders of Masayo, the ship decisively began to turn, preparing to head diagonally upward.

"Boom" Suddenly, a wave rose on the distant sea behind the ship.

When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their heads and looked back.

"Huh? It's a lucky boat! It's the sailor of the Ming Kingdom! One of the sailors exclaimed. Due to the extremely fast speed of the Fufu, the sailors who were in charge of watching the wind just now did not see the shadow of the other party at all, and when everyone was busy preparing to turn the ship, the Fufune just caught up and finally appeared in everyone's sight.

This... What the hell is going on? Zheng Conscience exclaimed. In his sight, Masato saw three lucky ships sailing quickly towards this side. Is it for the naval battle ahead? Masahiro couldn't help but guess.

Of course, Masato didn't know why these lucky ships appeared here. In normal times, these sailors would not have bothered to sail to such a long distance, just because of the sudden order of Shangguan to sweep away coastal smuggling ships and pirates in the past two days. In desperation, these ships had no choice but to go to sea to carry out the order. After cruising for a long time, I couldn't find a single smuggling boat, and just as these lucky ships were about to give up, they happened to find Masayo's ship, so they chased after them.

In fact, the entire coastal area of Ningbo Province has not been quiet for the past two days. The Ming army's naval divisions were dispatched on a large scale and began the so-called sweep of pirates. In fact, most of the sailors only bully the small fishermen who go out to fish in violation of the sea ban, and as for those pirates, as long as they don't come out to cause trouble, they are often too lazy to use force. …,

Why all of a sudden? The culprits are still Masashi and others.

Before handing over Huahua Taishuai and the others to Zhang Tuiguan, Zhengliang put a poison in their meals. According to You Jianxia, who found these poisons, these poisons will only lurk in the human body under normal circumstances, but as long as you drink alcohol, you will immediately die of poison, which can be described as extremely vicious. If it weren't for You Jianxia being a man in the rivers and lakes, he wouldn't have found such a poison.

It was also the first time that Masara had heard of such a poison, and even from later generations, he was amazed by his strange effect. However, Zhengliang was not intimidated by its viciousness, but immediately entrusted You Jianxia to find a few bottles of such poison, such a treasure, maybe it can come in handy in the future.

You Jianxia was originally a frank person, and when he saw that Zhengliang was keen on such an insidious thing, he couldn't help but persuade him. Of course, he knew that the rivers and lakes were sinister, and he only persuaded Zhengliang to use this thing for the right way, and not to do things that hurt nature and reason. Of course, Zhengliang agreed.

On the day when Zhengliang went to sea, the news of the four evils of Ningbo Mansion suddenly came out of Ningbo Mansion and the violent death of Ningbo Mansion within one day, and the entire Ningbo Mansion suddenly boiled. Those who have been harmed by the four evils of Ningbo and the people at the bottom have applauded at home. And several parties led by Zhang Tuiguan were gloomy, and even Zhang Tuiguan was angry and crippled Scarface. This is his only son, he was fine when he was rescued yesterday, why is it suddenly gone?

When Zhang Tuiguan learned that the other three people who were rescued also died violently one after another, he finally knew that the person who kidnapped him last time had done it. In a fit of rage, he immediately searched all over the city, and he was not angry, and even let the sailor also dispatch through his connections. Dayou found those people through a great search on the ground and on the sea.

Of course, this time he still found a few people, especially a few Japanese who had infiltrated the Ming Kingdom (including that Akagi Daisa). In a fit of rage, Zhang Tuiguan directly clicked them off and became the substitute ghost for Zhengliang and others. Affected by this incident, Zhang Tuiguan not only cut off the trade of the pirates, but even became the main promoter of the coastal pirates in the future. Of course, that's all for later.

Now Masara is really in danger. Three fortune ships were speeding towards his ship.

"Quick, don't turn, just rush forward," Zhengliang shouted with a quick move.

All the people on the boat immediately picked up their oars and rowed hard. (To be continued......) ……,
