Cheng Ziyu was patting the window to see if it was firm enough.

"When it comes to the Xu family, I understand everything. They chose the Xu family to take the blame, that's why they are so unscrupulous! The more arrogant they are, the greater the Thunder Fury will be triggered later!

In fact, the Xu family is not only behind the blame, but also their real goal! Li Chun told me a lot about the situation at sea before, and the Xu family was the only one and controlled a lot of maritime resources. This alone is enough to make the Xu family a target coveted by many people.

However, it is not easy to shake the supremacy of the Xu family, I heard that the Xu family itself is armed, and the reason why they can dominate is that their numbers and equipment are far superior to other maritime forces. The other forces did not dare to take action against them lightly. ”

Mrs. Lin's face gradually sank, and she already understood.

Therefore, the Xu family's share is something they covet but can't get. They wanted to pull the Xu family down, but they didn't have the ability enough. And it is very likely that the Xu family is still their competitor or an old enemy, and they can take revenge by the way, is that so? ”

"Madame is very right. The reason why they got such a big game of chess is actually to borrow my hands and you to get rid of the Xu family! We're all pawns. ”

There was a lot of gasping in the carriage.

Cheng Ziyu swallowed her saliva.

"Whether I fell into the water and was rescued, or Wan Erye rescued me by threats or negotiations, they all achieved their goal. I will definitely investigate, you are an eyewitness, and the more miserable I am, the more angry Li Chun will be when he arrives.

If Li Chun really cares about me, this matter will definitely make him angry. Even if it wasn't, I would undoubtedly slap Li Chun in the face if I hurt me. He will definitely take revenge and go back. Although Li Chun and others are not on the coast, the emperor favors him, and the emperor will definitely force Kang Anbo to do this for the sake of Li Chun and the royal family. The Xu family is in big trouble. But that's not the most important thing. ”

"What else?" Liu Er was so shocked that her eyelashes fanned several times.

"The emperor will definitely be suspicious when he knows this, and he must inquire about the ins and outs. What I thought of before, the emperor will definitely think of it too. Do you remember? What did Xiao Wu want during the negotiation?

What he wanted at first was Li Chun's promise. Li Chun is the emperor's most trusted person, what is he going to do? What kind of movement do you want to make around the emperor?

Later, he asked for a pointing object and a firearm. But the markers have not yet been circulated, and the emperor specified that they were going to be used in the army, but they wanted to covet military supplies, which was to dig the foot of the wall in the Great Zhou?

Firearms are even worse, the Xu family has almost become a cancerous existence, and they still need firearms? What do they want to do? Their power at the moment is not enough to satisfy them? The sea is almost in their pocket, so what more do they want?

If these three articles are determined to be requested by the Xu family, they have one thing in common, that is, the Xu family has the intention of going to the court......

That's one of the reasons I deliberately refused at the time. Wan Mingyang and Xiao Wu really didn't insist, and soon transferred the negotiation request to the silver. Because their goal has been achieved, they only need to put it forward, they don't need to achieve it, they just need to let me know and recognize the rampant of the Xu family, and that's enough! ”

Mrs. Lin's car is very sturdy, and the whole is made of solid wood, which also makes Cheng Ziyu slightly relieved.

"At that time, someone will definitely jump out and lead this matter to the Xu family's rebellion. The emperor already has his own judgment in his heart, and he will definitely not let it go easily this time.

Originally, the scope of piracy was only at sea, and most of the damage was caused by merchant ships, although the imperial court knew that they were rampant, or most of the time preferred to turn a blind eye and focus more time and energy on suppressing the pirates. But when it comes to rebellion, this thing can't be good. This time, the emperor will definitely send troops to officially clean up the Xu family.

Wan Mingyang has always been suspected of colluding with pirates, so I suspect that Wan Mingyang's legacy is very likely to be the Shi family or the Wang family, which are ranked second in the sea power after removing the Xu family. The Xu family fell, which was the most beneficial to the two of them. They can then re-divide the chain of maritime interests on a large scale. Of course, it is also possible that the Shi Wang family is working together to kill the Xu family.

With such means, they successfully provoked a war between the Xu family and the imperial court, and they could just borrow the hand of the imperial court, but they themselves did not have to spend a single soldier! All they have to do is wait for the final fruits to be harvested. At that time, we, the court and the emperor will become a big joke!

That's the only way to do it! That's the only way to call it a big lure! Enough for them to take this risk. They don't have to take care of Li Chun, and they don't have any troubles, they just need to grasp the time.

Four or two thousand pounds, they got everything they wanted, except for the big trouble; The situation at sea has been redrawn; Wan Mingyang became a hero who acted bravely; became a benefactor of me and Li Chun; Three favors, I can't kill him! At that time, I guess he will definitely propose to the Cheng family to take down the pottery markers for future sales, and I will definitely not refuse......"

Cheng Ziyu laughed.

"I didn't stop thinking about it. But when this guess came out, all the things I couldn't figure out came to fruition. This just explains that they have to dispatch hundreds of people to deal with our master and servant, and even use firearms such as firearms.

They have always guided my thinking! Let me take the initiative to think about their identities as pirates, and let me take the initiative to observe that the forces that have captured me are extraordinary!

Such a gorgeous ship, a house full of treasures, made me think that they were a powerful and wealthy group of pirates!

After I have made my own judgment, Wan Mingyang will come to tell me again that this is the Xu family's ship, and that person is the Xu family's Xiaowu, then I will naturally be convinced.

In the future, when the emperor investigates, madam, you will also come out to testify to everything you see, and the identity that Xiao Wu on the deck recognized when he shouted, so this is another witness who framed the Xu family.

They were well prepared. And I guess that in order to sit on what the Xu family did, the image of the fake Xiaowu is still pretended to be the real Xu family's Xiaowu. When I was pouring tea and drinking tea, I saw that he accidentally got his beard when he drank it all in one gulp. Several elders in my family have beards, and they either hold down their beards when drinking tea, or they are very careful, not because they are afraid of dirt or are particular, but because it is a habit. But that little five didn't have that habit from beginning to end, and I even suspected that his beard was fake. When I go back, remember to remind me to find someone to get a portrait of Xiao Wu to see......"

"Girls are exquisite." Liu Er was dumbfounded. "No clue escapes your eyes. If you are the master of the blue sky, you will definitely be able to solve many strange cases! ”

Liu Er's voice was full of admiration, and Xia Wei's expression, which was very clear to listen to by the window, was a little complicated......

Cheng Ziyu asked Liu Er to take out the brocade box that Xiao Wu gave her.

It's a painting.

Landscape painting!

A famous painting from 500 years ago.

"I guess there's something going on in this painting. That 'Little Five' was obviously prepared a long time ago, probably to be used to frame the Xu family. In this way, there is not only Mrs. Lin's certification, but also this physical evidence! ”

Mrs. Lin flipped through for a long time, and there was nothing special about the painting, but there were dozens of appreciation medals on the painting, one of which was the word "sea".

"Could it be this? The head of the Xu family is called Xu Haizhi, and there is a word 'sea' in his name. And this word is magnificent, a little wanton and arrogant. ”

"Possibly. Liu'er, put this painting away, this painting may be of great use later! ”

"Yes!"

"I guessed too much, so I didn't dare to question Xiao Wu's identity there, let alone expose their calculations of the Xu family. Once I tell the truth, all the charges will be transferred to them, how can they still let us go? It is a matter of rebellion, and they will not give up.

And if this matter spreads, the Xu family will inevitably come to the door to seek revenge, and they will face the two enemies of the court and the Xu family at the same time, they don't dare! Two-way attack, they are all finished!

That's why, if I expose it, not only will we not leave, but we will all die! They will be reckless. So I've been careful what I'm saying, for fear of making a mistake.

But Xiao Wu has been seducing me, testing how much I guessed. And the more he did, the more I confirmed all the speculations.

Later, although Xiao Wu didn't do anything, he actually dominated all the situations. Once, during this period, Xiao Wu shouted directly at Wan Mingyang, 'Shut up', I think, no matter how big the steward is, he doesn't have the guts, right? ……

And have you noticed, after I said that I wanted to go back, it was Xiao Wu who first said that it was all misunderstandings and jokes, and then ordered someone to get the gift, he didn't ask Wan Mingyang what he meant, and Wan Mingyang didn't object, but followed his statement......

I know that all my speculations are correct. Xiao Wu is not only not ordinary, but also can call Wan Erye. Wan Mingyang is already a rich party, and there are not many people who can call him. The other party is either the one he relies on, or the one who holds his handle. I think about it, Wanjia's industry and business in recent years have turned overseas, does it show that Xiaowu is the pirate group that Wanjia relies on?

Wan Jia's like this, probably can't cling to the Xu family, but they may not be able to see the ordinary little pirates, from this point, does it prove that Xiao Wu is behind Shi, a branch of Wang? That Xiao Wu, whose identity is above Wan Er, is very likely to be a master in the Shi Wang clan. You can also check this when you go back.

In order to make sure that we can leave with one body in mind, I can only say that it is half broken, and let their plan not continue. As time passed, my threats were repeated, and my plan to use me and my wife to accuse me was completely in vain. They had no choice but to let them go.

Since I said it, I have been acting like a rat and being complacent, and I deliberately said threatening words such as 'your Xu family will also be implicated' to Xiao Wu. I didn't reveal any suspicion of Xiao Wu's identity at all, I deliberately focused all my eyes and resentment on Wan Mingyang.

In Xiao Wu's opinion, I have probably decided that today's incident is all due to the collusion between Wan Mingyang and the Xu family. So Xiao Wu not only let down his guard against me, but also quickly arranged for me to leave. In this way, the Xu family is hated by me, and their original plan is still basically half achieved, and the only thing that is not under control is that the Wan family may suffer some revenge.

Probably the same, and later Wan Mingyang apologized again and again, and said several times that he would come to the door to make amends in the near future...... I guess I lied to them. They might be making fun of me right now. ”

"I should have been deceived," Liu Er suddenly said, "The slave didn't think that Xiao Wu suspected you at all." ”

"I hope so!"

Mrs. Lin was surprised and shook Cheng Ziyu's hand tightly at the same time, sorry and guilty made her choke for a while. If it weren't for Cheng Ziyu's vigilance, I don't know what the final consequences would have been today. Her Lin family will also be involved in a trap, and it will be difficult to extricate herself from now on......

"Ziyu, do you mean, will they still come after you?"

"I don't know." Cheng Ziyu shook her head.

"I don't know if you've noticed, most of the weapons and equipment on the Little Five ship are long-range attacks. Except for the few guards who followed Xiao Wu who used swords, the other people's weapons were not firearms, but basically a bow and crossbow in each person's hand. These are not for hand-to-hand combat. But only our master and servant are outsiders on the ship, so they don't need to, right? I suspected early on that these crossbows were actually used against us! ”

"Won't it?" Mrs. Lin and Liu Er asked in unison.

"What if not? Don't forget, their purpose is to make a profit! Only by making our situation more dangerous, the greater the loss of my wife and me, and the more we play with the situation, will Wan Mingyang's act of saving people become more and more glorious, the greater his credit, and the more benefits he can grab.

At the same time, I, Li Chun, Mrs. Lin, the imperial court, and even the emperor will become more and more angry, and I will hate the Xu family even more, and I will take revenge endlessly.

Think about it, what would they do if I did dive? Will they just stare at me and swim out of their control? No way! What a great opportunity.

They will definitely pretend to be the fierce and vicious Xu family, in front of Mrs. Lin and your people, insult me, spurn the court, and say some rebellious words, and at the same time, take out bows and crossbows and fire guns, and fire at me and my maid. At most, I'm seriously injured, and I definitely won't die. But what about Xia Wei and Liu'er? No matter how strong their martial arts are, can they still grow wings and escape in the water? They may be able to avoid the attacks of five or ten people, but the attacks of hundreds of people, how can they dodge?

Especially Xia Wei, the other party obviously knows that she is Li Chun's cronies and comrades-in-arms, and the other party wants to provoke Li Chun and completely frame the Xu family, Xia Wei will definitely become the target of their key attack......"

Cheng Ziyu paid attention to the window when she said this, and she saw that the figure behind the window had an obvious shaking. Xia Wei has been by Li Chun's side for many years, has lived and died together, and naturally has a friendship, which is as important to her as being in the painting.

So she didn't want to leave a two-choice problem for Li Chun. The best thing to do is to bridge the barriers between them.

"And madam, you should know on Wan Mingyang's ship that the weapons prepared by Wan Mingyang's people can shoot from a distance?"

"This ...... Not really! Mrs. Lin shook her head again and again.

"That's right! Wan Mingyang's people only have swords, and naturally they can't quench their thirst far from water, and they can only be beaten passively! This is destined to be a battle that ends with a big victory for the 'Xu family', and the 'Little Five' also won the high-sounding crown, and Wan Mingyang will not show his flaws because of the mercy of his subordinates.

'Little Five' and his men will have the upper hand, and while shooting us, they will naturally prevent your rescue. So Madame, your people will also be the focus of 'care'! And your situation is the same as mine, and you will not worry about your life, but it is difficult to protect you from shedding your skin.

In this way, even the Lin family will hate the Xu family. As you said before, you will definitely try to find out about the foreign businessmen who are good friends with the Xu family and cut off the other party's silk road. In this way, many merchant ships engaged in overseas trade will no longer follow the path of the Xu family, and it is very likely that they will turn to the protection of the Shi family and the Wang family. In this way, it is also a huge blow to the Xu family economically......"

Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but make a mistake and make a mistake.

So Wan Mingyang, what happens to this animal after it is all deserved! Since the Wan family is vicious and despicable, it must also bear the consequences that may be obtained. Looking at Xiao Wu's later attitude towards Wan Mingyang, it can be seen that this matter will definitely be carried by Wan Jia......

"The first step of fake Xiaowu and Wan Mingyang failed, and the only way to start negotiations was to start negotiations. Look at them, they started talking as soon as they started. Oh, in addition to persecuting me, they are still making big losses. Wan Mingyang's people were injured several times, all of which were 'to save me'.

But Wan Mingyang's loss is easy to make, and our loss is not so easy. I guessed then that they might make up for it. Then it is very likely that it is on the return trip, and it must be before Li Chun arrives.

I guess that on the return trip, Wan Mingyang's people will definitely escort me, and then find a remote place to create a revenge from the 'Xu family' - revenge against the Wan family who ruined the good deeds of the 'Xu family'.

In the chaos, we will definitely have casualties, so everything is still back in place. I was still rescued by Wan Mingyang, we and his losses are still very large, and the Xu family is still the culprit. And all the benefits are Wan Mingyang theirs.

In fact, this is also the reason why they are in such a hurry from beginning to end, and every action is very impatient. Especially Wan Mingyang, he has been urging me in various ways. Because he was in a hurry, if Li Chun came in time, not only would the assassination be difficult to carry out, but his credit would also be lost. If Li Chun catches the assassins, the consequences will be a series of bad news......

So when I was negotiating, I deliberately said that I would not do it, and I would wait for Li Chun, when their expressions were extremely ugly, and they took the initiative to take a step back. In fact, everyone knows that across a bay, Li Chun didn't arrive so quickly, so what are they anxious about? Even if Li Chunzhen came early, with Wan Mingyang's power at the dock, it was enough to block Li Chun for a period of time, which was used to allow Xiao Wu to escape.

At that time, I guessed that the time they wanted to buy should be the time to do it to us! I deliberately pointed out that they were trying to run away, but I was deliberately trying to test and confuse their judgment. I saw their expressions, the fake Xiaowu's smile was fake at first, but later he was really happy. What he was happy about was that he saw everything fall apart but only went around in a big circle, and finally returned to his original idea......

It was with this possibility in mind that I rejected the negotiations early on. I decided they were in a hurry than I was, so I would let them go. In this case, there is no need to negotiate, anyway, it is a knife to stick out or shrink your head, so I don't want to agree to them for a tael of silver. And at this moment, what I have chosen is already the best way. ”

For a moment, the air was quiet. Cheng Ziyu didn't say anything further, everyone already understood. Even outside the window, Xia Wei gasped.

Indeed, although there was no dive in the end, and no negotiation was made, the result that the other party wanted, except for Wan Mingyang's article, has been basically reached.

Cheng Ziyu had already identified the "Xu family" as the culprit in front of Xiao Wu, and there was a chance that they would achieve it step by step according to the original plan.

"So, you guessed that they still had to chase and kill, so I prepared my horses, brought more men, and recruited secret guards to warn them."

Mrs. Lin's throat tightened, and her face was also very ugly.

If she were the other party, she would have done so. And try to cause the other party's huge losses to blame......

Cheng Ziyu grabbed Mrs. Lin's hand, in the final analysis, she actually hurt Mrs. herself.

"If we are lucky enough, Xiao Wu is afraid of Li Chun, we have this mighty group of people around us, and there are eight secret guards around me who deliberately deceived them, they may not be able to stop.

But if I guess they do, they'll do it. But you and I have our own uses, and we still carry interests, so there will be no danger to our lives, but others may not. ”

Cheng Ziyu felt that Mrs. Lin's hand was very cold, and just about to export, there was another condition that was swallowed back into her stomach:

If it is extremely unlucky, Xiao Wu and Wan Mingyang are not at ease when they look back, and they recall that she has any flaws or changes her mind and plans to do nothing, then I am afraid that they will be killed. If that's the case, I'm afraid it's terrible. They may be wiped out......

I don't know if I understood what she didn't say, Xia Wei, who had never spoken, spoke.

"Girl, Liu Er and I will do our best to protect you and make every effort to protect you from injury."

"No, as I said before, you're more dangerous than me. Xia Wei, you are more dangerous than Liu'er. You have to protect yourself. Cheng Ziyu opened the curtain and looked sincere: "This is my order!" ”

Cheng Ziyu said this sincerely.

She's going to take a gamble. The last possibility was slim to none, and she hoped that she had completely fooled the other party in that scene just now.

She spared her life, but she also didn't want others to risk death for her. She will definitely try to save her life......

"Girl, otherwise, let's stay in Ningbo, right? Find a lively place, let's simply wait for the male master to come over. "The carriage has entered the center of Ningbo City at this time. Liu Er thinks the center of this street is very good.

"That's what I've thought before. But then I changed my mind. No one knows when Li Chun will arrive. It's not early, and when it's night, it's not right for us to go anywhere. Ningbo is their territory, and it is too easy for them to do it. And what if they stumble on Li Chun? No one can guarantee that Li Chun will arrive as soon as possible. Stay here, and we'll be turtles in an urn. ”

"The government, what about the government?" Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up. "Turn left in front and you'll be the government office."

"It's the same. If they dare to make a move in Ningbo, there must be power here. The government is not necessarily reliable. And at this time, there should only be officers and soldiers on duty left in the government office. If they want to succeed, it will not be difficult! Instead of guarding against this and that, it is better to take the initiative in our own hands. ”

……
