As Cheng Ziyu guessed, Second Master Wan was begged for by Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin was afraid of hurting Cheng Ziyu, so she didn't dare to report to the official, and after notifying Li Chun, she felt guilty in her heart, and always wanted to do something, so she thought of Wan Mingyang almost immediately.

Wanjia's overseas trade has been booming in recent years, and their strength in Ningbo cannot be underestimated. Whether it's black and white, or government pirates, they all have some doorways. If Wanjia can help, maybe this matter can be simplified.

And Wan Mingyang himself is in Ningbo, and he also knows Cheng Ziyu, this favor can probably help.

Mrs. Lin found Wanjia Courtyard from Wanjia Goods Store, and finally found someone in the restaurant.

When Second Master Wan heard this, his face darkened.

What he was not pleased with was not that someone dared to kidnap Cheng Ziyu, but why Mrs. Lin came to him!

If you don't do this, you will offend people. If you don't do it, you will not save yourself when you see death, and you will offend the court and Li Chun. did it, offended some behind-the-scenes people, and what hurt it was his Wanjia business.

Mrs. Lin also took this into account, she knew that no matter what the relationship was, Wan Mingyang would definitely not be able to refuse, once she opened her mouth, there was a high probability that she would have to help.

"I understand the second master's dilemma. The second master's loss this time is on the head of my Lin family. Ask the second master for a favor. Count my Lin family to owe the second master a personal favor, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely serve the second master. General Li and the county lord will also be grateful to the second master. I heard from the county lord that the second master was keen on charity, and he took a lot of money to support the charity hall several times. You don't want anything to happen to the county lord, do you? When the time comes, it will be the refugees who will suffer. This matter should not be delayed, in case something happens to the county lord, you can't afford to take care of it......"

"That's it!" Wan Mingyang nodded in the end. "I accepted your gift today, and the bento is to return your kindness."

"The second master is kind, if you need the help of the Lin family in the future, just ask."

"Let's go......"

Wan Mingyang did not disappoint Mrs. Lin.

He let Mrs. Lin quickly see his strength and talk to him and do the same thing, crisp and neat boldness, so that Mrs. Lin couldn't help but praise his righteousness and trustworthiness from the bottom of her heart.

Wanjia has its own large merchant ships, and its manpower has always been maintained. In less than half an hour, everyone was assembled and quickly seated.

Mrs. Lin, who had been blaming herself, was also relieved.

She transferred all the people that the Lin family could transfer in Ningbo, and she thought that even if she could help create some pressure, it would be good.

She led people to follow Wan Ming onto the Wanjia ship.

Wan Erye decisively ordered the helmsman to deflect the bow of the ship from the direction of the bow of the ship where Cheng Ziyu was, and in this way, the angle at which their boat left was sealed.

At the same time, he beckoned several small boats to approach.

As he approached their ship, Wan Erye's face gradually tensed.

"This ship...... Eye-born. A few days ago, I heard that the Xu family had several new ships entering the port, and this was probably one of them. ”

"The Xu family? Is it the Xu family at sea? Mrs. Lin also changed her complexion.

"Hmm!"

"Second Master Quanlao!" Mrs. Lin was slightly nervous......

The Xu family?

For hundreds of years, there have been many civilian pirates in the waters of Zhejiang and Fujian, relying on various sea livelihoods, accumulating a lot of wealth, but also possessing a certain amount of armament, and in a certain sense controlling the trade routes on the sea.

In other words, nine times out of ten, overseas trade has to be under the noses of pirates.

And the Xu family is the most powerful pirate in the Fujian and Zhejiang seas in the past 30 years. They basically controlled several major shipping routes in the vast seas, and occupied nearly forty percent of all pirate trade. Even just the "clearance" and commission fees for ships coming and going can already make a lot of money.

Among the remaining sixty percent of the transactions involved in the pirates, the Wang and Shi families accounted for forty percent, and the rest of the small pirate groups could only barely share the remaining two percent from the three major families that were given up because the profit was too small.

Therefore, this Xu family is the absolute boss of pirates!

Wanjia can do this business, naturally it has something to do with some pirates. Just seeing that Second Master Wan quickly judged the situation, Mrs. Lin was glad that she had found the right person. But when he said the other party or "Xu's" family with a gloomy face, Mrs. Lin's mood fell to the bottom.

First, the other party is too big, and secondly, Waner's expression is clearly that he is not familiar with the Xu family. There is no Xu family in the backer of the Wan family, which is not a good thing.

Fortunately, Wan Erye did not flinch from the battle.

He took a deep breath and went ahead, asking to see the owner of the ship opposite.

Both groups gathered at the bow of the ship......

The window where Cheng Ziyu and the others were was on the side, and they couldn't see the condition of the bow of the boat, so they could only listen.

Fortunately, the three of her ears are good, and it is a tailwind, and the two groups of people are shouting because of the sea water, so their conversation, Cheng Ziyu and the others leaned against the window, and they could basically listen to it.

Listening attentively, Wan Erye's request was rejected as soon as he came out.

Wan Erye was very imposing, and after reporting to his home, it was both a warning and a threat, and he waved his hand, signaling his people to come forward, and there was a great tendency to surround the ship where they were.

"Girl, look!"

Looking out of the window on the other side, more and more people were gathering on the pier in a short period of time.

Those people were uniformly dressed and looked energetic, and there was a steward in front of the command, and it was thought that they were also the people brought by Wan Erye.

They lined up on the docks as instructed, and waited for them, their eyes fixed on their boat, as if they were going to strike at the first opportunity.

The two girls were excited, but Cheng Ziyu squinted.

Then, I heard the scolding of Second Master Wan.

"Either release them! Or, invite your master out! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! ”

"Yo, who was I!" Little Five's voice. "It turned out to be Wan Erye, a rare guest! If Second Master Wan wants to drink tea, I'm afraid that the time is not right today. We'll never entertain you! ”

"Little Five! Sure enough, it's you! Wan Mingyang's voice was a little gnashing of teeth. What about your grandfather? ”

"Second Master Wan, your appearance is not a gift to see!"

……

Liu Er snorted when she heard this. "That guy is really called Xiao Wu."

"Girl, do we plan to continue?"

"No!" Cheng Ziyu closed her eyes and waited for two breaths before answering.

"It's good!"

Escaping is still risky, so it's better to wait and see what happens......

That Xiao Wu and Wan Er Ye are still grinding.

Wan Erye didn't give an inch, and Xiao Wu's response was obviously impatient.

"You and our master's well water do not interfere with the river water, do you really want to make a muddy? Have you weighed the consequences? ”

Wan Erye recognized that the other party lacked confidence and quickly gained the upper hand.

"There is no point in stalemate! Let's be straightforward, the person you won is my friend Waner, and Wan Someone wants you to give face. After all, it's a matter of looking up and not looking down, and there's no need to make a fuss about a little thing for a person. Xiao Wu, although I don't know if today's incident was instigated by your master, I can be sure that your master will definitely not want to make a big fuss. Is that right?

Wanjia still has business in the inland, some things must be done, and some positions must be standing, so Wan doesn't mind tearing his face today. On the contrary, if you can take a step back, we can sit down and talk. Xiao Wu, go to your master, see if you want to have a fish to die and a chicken to beat the egg, or to know the current affairs? Look at the situation for yourself, you should know very well in your heart that although my ship is not as fast as yours, you have no way out, and you are already a caged bird and a turtle in an urn. ”

Xiao Wu's response gradually weakened, and Cheng Ziyu and the three of them couldn't hear it clearly.

But they could tell from the expressions and demeanors of the people standing on the hull of the Wanjia Ship that probably Wan Erye's purpose had been achieved......

Xia Wei couldn't hold back, her legs hooked on the edge of the window, and after Liu Er helped her, most of her people leaned out of the window. She saw that the two boats had already set up pedals on the bows, and Wan Erye and others were coming up to their boat.

He brought a lot of people, and Xia Wei saw that at least fifty people had come up.

It's just that Mrs. Lin was blocked.

Mrs. Lin insisted on getting on the boat, but she couldn't talk about it.

Xiao Wu didn't let her go on because she was a living person.

Wan Mingyang could only persuade her, saying that it was relatively safer for her to stay on his ship.

In this way, Mrs. Lin could only stay on Wan Mingyang's ship and be in a hurry......

Xia Wei threw a handkerchief at the opposite boat, which immediately attracted Mrs. Lin's attention.

Mrs. Lin saw where Cheng Ziyu and the others were, and hurriedly ran from the deck to the back of the boat, dozens of feet away from Cheng Ziyu and them, she called out.

"Don't worry, the second master has gone up. The second master will think of taking you down. Mrs. Lin didn't dare to call Ziyu's name.

Cheng Ziyu beckoned to her, nodded, and signaled that she was fine......

After about half an hour, Wan Mingyang and Xiao Wu finally entered their house.

The expressions of the two were not very good, and if they guessed, they should have bargained and not negotiated.

"I will give you a quarter of an hour to speak and discuss." Xiao Wu left this sentence and walked out......

As soon as the people left, Wan Mingyang's people stood by the door.

"How? They didn't do anything to you, did they? He sat down after Cheng Ziyu signaled, his face full of worry.

Cheng Ziyu shook her head.

"Second Master ......"

"County Lord, don't worry, the people below can still control the situation for the time being, and the county lord doesn't need to worry."

"In this way, I owe the second master a personal favor."

"What is the talk of human affection at this moment? The county lord still remembers that in the past, when you and I first met, I gave the county lord a token, saying that in the future, the county lord needs help, so he just took the token and came to find someone ......."

"When you say that, I owe you more. That's a good thing. Cheng Ziyu smiled lightly and lowered her eyes.

The two maids looked at each other silently, always feeling that something was strange. These two people, is this the time to be polite?

Wan Mingyang was slightly stunned, and then laughed.

"The county lord is really polite, but the situation is critical at the moment, we must hurry up and think of a way out. I had been talking to Xiao Wu for half an hour just now, and I knew that they were waiting for General Li. Although I don't know what they want to do to General Lee, or what they want to force General Li to do, it will definitely be very bad for you and the general. I don't think we can let them succeed, don't you think? ”

"That's what I'm worried about! I'm also thinking about solving this matter before Li Chun arrives! ”

"What the county lord said is extremely true! Moreover, although they have temporarily controlled the situation, it is difficult to ensure that they have no follow-up moves. I think you've heard of the Xu family in Fujian and Zhejiang, right? They are the people of the Xu family. Xiao Wu is the right-hand man of Xu Haizhi, the head of the Xu family. Xiao Wu dared to appear, and his master was only afraid that he was also nearby. In case his master is unwilling and comes out of the boat, I have more than 100 people in my hands, and I am afraid that I will not be an opponent. ”

Cheng Ziyu took a deep sip.

She knows the Xu family.

Speaking of pirates and Wanjia last night, Li Chun told her a lot about it. She never thought that she would run into this today.

Scold!

"I don't know if the second master has a way?"

"The only way to do that is with one word – 'quick'! There must be a rush for time! Grab ahead of the Xu family's follow-up forces! Ahead of General Lee's arrival! The sooner it is, the faster it will be solved, and the better it will be for us! ”

Cheng Ziyu didn't answer immediately.

"Girl, why did you lose your mind?"

"Girl, Second Master Wan is reasonable, we still have to fight quickly!"

The two girls agreed with what Wan Mingyang said.

At this moment, these two people are a little like ants in a hot pot, just like Cheng Ziyu a quarter of an hour ago, full of impatience. At this time, Wan Mingyang's heart was added to the heat, and it was even more like burning his eyebrows.

However, Cheng Ziyu's reaction was too calm.

However, Cheng Ziyu immediately nodded.

"What Second Master Wan said is, I don't know what Second Master thinks?"

"I've done my best just now. As soon as we got on the boat, our people were in tension with the people of the Xu family, and they almost made a move. Can...... First, they have firearms, and second, they have to consider the situation of the Wan family, so this hard fight can't be won! ”

Cheng Ziyu nodded again.

"That's what you're saying. Hard work is extremely bad for you, and I can't take revenge. ”

"So, in the next place, why don't we sit down with them in front of the gong and drum to discuss the deal?" Wan Mingyang lowered his voice.

"I have just tried it in the next place, and Xiao Wu did not object. He was forced to do nothing at the moment and had to bow his head. We just need to fool him and give him some sweetness, and it's about to go. How is it? ”

"If I can succeed, I am willing."

As soon as Cheng Ziyu finished speaking, Wan Mingyang raised his hand and motioned for his people to go outside to invite people. Cheng Ziyu smiled slightly, he was more anxious than himself!

"As long as you can get out smoothly this time, as long as Li Chun and I are safe and sound, anything will happen!"

"The county lord can rest assured, pirates are no better than robbers, most of them are converted merchants, merchants value trust, only seek wealth, not human life. As long as they can respond, with me here as a witness, they will definitely be able to keep the county lord out safely. ”

"That's good!"

Cheng Ziyu nodded, withdrew her gaze from Wan Mingyang, and stared at Xiao Wu who was coming in with her chin propped up, and then, she showed a smile.

Where did Xiao Wu think that as soon as he entered the door, he saw Cheng Ziyu staring at him so directly, and many thoughts flashed through his heart in a daze. Suddenly seeing Cheng Ziyu smile, and with a clear and grasp in his eyes, his heart trembled, and he almost subconsciously stared at Wan Mingyang viciously.

Interesting...... The way he looked, he did something angry and resentful of him.

Wan Mingyang faced him head-on, didn't see Cheng Ziyu's abnormality, only felt inexplicable, and naturally didn't give him much feedback.

When Xiao Wu was confused and retracted her gaze to look at Cheng Ziyu, she had already regained her previous faint expression...... It seems that everything is his delusion.
