Chapter 10 Meeting with Mao Haifeng
Zhu Xixiao pushed the door into the house.
Lu Yanyuan also came in later: "You actually hid Mao Haifeng in your brother's study!"
Zhu Xixiao pointed to the inkstone on the desk that had been completely dry: "You see, my brother has not been home for many days, and he has never had the opportunity to listen to Fu Bo's report that I have raised a big living person in the secret room of his study." Besides, even if my brother knew, I think he would support me. ”
"You asked Shaoting to stay in the Imperial Prison to pretend to be you, but you brought me to see Mao Haifeng, and you never said where Mao Haifeng was hiding, do you suspect Shaoting?" Lu Yanyuan's voice was a little heavy.
Zhu Xixiao shook his head and sighed lightly: "I didn't doubt him, but ...... You're right, the three of us are caged birds, and we can't help ourselves, and if there is a half-point difference at the critical moment of the battle, we will lose all the games. Although Huang Zikai owes his mouth, he is right, the things that the Yan family has done will definitely be punished by law. The Yan family is undefeated, the strict party is not defeated, the people are suffering, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger! Whoever the emperor wants to appoint as the prince, we will not interfere and cannot interfere, but we should punish the traitor and eliminate the evil. ”
Lu Yanyuan smiled bitterly: "Treacherous? My father has done a lot of that. ”
"Although the commander has also done some things that should not be done, there is an essential difference between him and Yan Song's father and son. We must bring down the Yan family when the current emperor is on the throne, otherwise, the new emperor is the puppet of the Yan family, and the consequences are unimaginable! Zhu Xixiao said and stretched out his index finger to press the tenon at the corner of the desk, and with the sound of "rolling", a tunnel two or three feet square appeared under the table.
The two of them followed the steps of the tunnel to the underground secret room. A wall lamp casts the entire chamber in a faint dimness.
Mao Haifeng stood on the ground, although he was wearing shackles, but the whole person was quite neat. He looked slightly excited and nervous: "My father-in-law, I must see my father-in-law with my own eyes before I negotiate terms with you."
"Boss Wang was beheaded a year ago."
"You! Zhu Xixiao, you villain who has rebelled, a vicious, treacherous, and sanctimonious hypocrite, you will definitely be punished! Hearing that Wang Zhi was beheaded, Mao Haifeng immediately scolded and jumped up and pounced on Zhu Xixiao, helplessly handcuffed and shackled with the iron chain nailed to the wall, he could only clench his hands into a steel fist and volley in the air, tearing the iron chain behind him "bang".
Zhu Xixiao's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant: "Zhu Mou did lose his trust in Mao's family, but for the final victory of the great cause of resisting the Japanese and the coastal people, Zhu, no, the court is really helpless."
"Bullshit!" Mao Haifeng raised his head and let out a burst of wild laughter, and the echo of the laughter seemed to shake the entire edict to buzz: "The surname is Zhu, don't take those big truths around Lao Tzu." At the beginning, the surname Hu was like this, a table of fine wine and delicacies, coaxed me to willingly go for him to suppress the Haikou entrenched in Zhoushan; Those boxes of gold and silver treasures deceived me into convincing my father-in-law to go ashore and die. It was because of his intrigues and tricks that when my father-in-law was beheaded, no pirate force was willing to cooperate with me in launching a surprise attack on the city of Hangzhou, and I was trapped in Cen Harbor, and no one helped me. Why, isn't it a bit whimsical to try to trick me into cooperating with you with a few nice words now? You and that Hu Zongxian are basically the same dog. ”
"Yes, in the matter of Boss Wang's surrender to Cheng, Governor Hu did take advantage of the frank temperament of the big boss and used some means; In the early years, Matsuura Takanobu's generosity and friendliness to Boss Wang was righteousness or generosity! In fact, the big boss knew in his heart that Boss Wang's honor and power in Dongying were only superficial, and what the daimyo of the Japanese Kingdom were really interested in was the firearms that Boss Wang exchanged for tea, silk, and porcelain from the hands of the Francophone people. Similarly, the situation has changed, and Governor Hu wants to use Boss Wang's head to deter those Haikou leaders. Zhu Xixiao paced back and forth, and his sharp eyes swept over Mao Haifeng's face quietly: "The Dongying people have already given up on Boss Wang and are ready to support others, otherwise, those Dongying merchant ships who came with Boss Wang will not only care about their own bodies and retreat, regardless of whether the Mao Da family is dead or alive after the defeat." Master Mao thinks, who is the black hand on you on the ship? Do those leaders of Hirado, Japanese merchants, and even Matsuura Takanobu want you to go back and take over the power left behind by Wang Nao? ”
Mao Haifeng sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, but his tone was very calm: "Zhu Xixiao, I am no longer the Mao Haifeng who was played with by Hu Zongxian's old fox when I was on the coast. If you have the ability to bring the heads of Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei, I will help you find out all the secret strongholds and hidden piles set up by the Dongying ninjas in the southeast area, how about it? ”
Zhu Xixiao's expression suddenly became stern, and he stepped in front of Mao Haifeng with an arrow step, squatted down, and grabbed Mao Haifeng's collar tightly with both hands. Eyes met, and both seemed to want to read something from each other's eyes.
After a while, Zhu Xixiao let go, got up, and said coldly: "Mao Haifeng, you really look up to yourself."
Mao Haifeng said hysterically: "Okay, whether it is five horses splitting the corpses, peeling the skin and grass or cutting a thousand knives, just come on, I Mao Haifeng wait!"
"Mao Da is really easy to think, with the heinous crimes committed by your father and son against the people on the southeast coast, can it be offset by one death? Wang Zhi saw that he took the initiative to surrender to Cheng and your Mao Haifeng's face, so he was extra gracious and let him easily cut it off. And you, stay here quietly for the first time, if the time comes and you still have this attitude, the punishment of Jinyiwei will make you regret coming to this world. Zhu Xixiao said and strode out of the secret room.
As soon as he got out of the secret room, Lu Yanyuan said disappointedly: "It seems that this Mao Haifeng will not cooperate with us."
Zhu Xixiao shook his head: "No, just now I saw hatred, anger and unwillingness in his eyes, and he will not give up the opportunity to hate with his own hands." He will definitely try to break out of the cage and slash his enemies. ”
"Isn't cooperating with him tantamount to playing with fire, if he uses it, it will cause a big disaster!"
Zhu Xixiao showed a confident smile: "The one who was burned by the fire and made wedding clothes for others must not be me."
