"Father, this is an Oriental." Mary, with her freckled face, slammed her thick thighs on the stomach of the Oriental man lying on the board, and the guy squirted water like a whale.

"Orientals? I've seen them in Paris, and these people are very rich, and you see, he has any money on him. Old John, with a rotten tooth, looked at the corpse that was fished up in the early morning.

"No money!" Mary's hand slapped wildly on the corpse, and suddenly Mary exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" John, who was struggling to steer, poked his head out of the cockpit.

"He's alive!" Mary exclaimed.

"Alive? Send him to Lord Dawson, and maybe there will be a reward. Ian, you idiot, get the man in the cabin. After a while, he froze to death. "Old John, I want to roar in the cabin. A tall guy came out of the cabin, and picked up Zheng Sen with one hand and entered the cabin.

"Toot toot toot ......!" John Sr. stepped up and continued north along the English Channel.

It was a small steamer custom-made from Germany to England for transporting craft beer from Hamburg to Paris. Craft beer has a very short shelf life. In Paris, only a few aristocrats could afford to consume hamburger beer.

So, this little steamer only runs to Paris once a week.

I don't know if Zheng Sen was lucky or unlucky, he was actually fished up by this small freighter.

There are only three people on the little steamer, old John and his daughter Mali, and son-in-law Ian!

Ian carried Zheng Sen into the cabin and placed him on a small cot next to the small boiler that could only accommodate one person.

It was cold outside, but it was warm inside the small boiler. Ian pressed Zheng Sen's stomach, and when he saw that there was no more water coming out of Zheng Sen's mouth, he threw it directly on the small bed.

As for whether he can survive or not, it can only depend on the luck of this guy.

The little freighter sailed for one night and arrived at the port of Hamburg the next morning. Napoleon organized more than 10,000 people to find Zheng Sen, but he never dreamed that Zheng Sen would fall into the hands of his sworn enemies, the Prussians.

"John, didn't you come back after sleeping in Paris?" As soon as the small freighter was parked back in port, the shipowner, Dawson, got on board with a smile.

The ship was the property of Duke William, whose official Sir Dawson was in charge of the small freighters. On weekdays, Dawson doesn't come to the docks often, and today I don't know why Sir Dawson came to the docks on a whim to inspect them.

"Why! The ladies in Paris are too expensive, where is our burger ladies good. Sir Dawson, look at what I've brought back to you. ”

When Old John saw Sir Dawson approaching the docks, he immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. Pulled Sir Dawson into the cabin!

The soot-covered cabin made Dawson frown. It was dark and I saw a person lying on the small bed. I couldn't help frowning: "How did you bring back a dead man?" ”

"Sir Dawson, this is not a dead man, but a living man. And he is also a Ming man! Old John hurriedly ruffled Zheng Sen's hair and approached the kerosene lamp so that Sir Dawson could see clearly that this was a great man.

"The Ming people ......!" When Sir Dawson saw that he was really a great man, he immediately became alarmed.

There are no Ming people in Hamburg, but as a knight, he met the Ming people when he went to London, and heard that the Ming people have a tradition that even if they are dead, they must be brought back to the Ming for burial.

The Ming Dynasty is the world's most powerful country, and the Prussians advocate bravery, but a consensus of the entire Prussian Kingdom is that the Ming Dynasty is invincible.

Since the Ming Dynasty is invincible, then ...... The Ming people can't be offended.

"Put it down! Drop it off quickly, go to the shore and call a carriage, and take the person to the hospital immediately. "In the aftermath of the last war, Prussia produced many outstanding medical personnel.

It would be a waste of these medical talents if they were dismissed after the war. King Frederick and Prime Minister Bismarck consulted and established a number of hospitals in major cities across the country.

Gather these medical talents together to treat the common people. Although the people don't have many external injuries, these people are people who have really saved people and have professional medical skills in their brains.

It's better than those quacks who only know phlebotomy!

"Oh! Good! Seeing Sir Dawson's solemn face, Old John knew at once that this man seemed to be very important. Since this person is important, it is very likely that you will be rewarded for picking up this person.

This person must not be allowed to die, and if he dies, the reward may be greatly reduced.

Old John hurried up to the docks, shouting and getting a carriage. His son-in-law, Ian, took Zheng Sen out again. Sir Dawson was very rare to help Ian hold Zheng Sen's head, and his intuition told him that this man could not die.

"It's so hot!" Holding Zheng Sen's head, Sir Dawson knew that this guy had a fever.

Fever is a big or small problem in this era. Many people have an unexplained fever, and they die while burning.

There are also some people who have inexplicably subsided their fever while burning. No one knows what the reason for this is!

Anyway, it's a life-threatening symptom.

Putting Zheng Sen on the carriage, Zheng Sen coughed violently. With coughing, yellow-green sputum clumps erupt from the mouth.

Sir Dawson hurriedly ordered a carriage to take Zheng Sen to the hospital, and he followed the carriage to the hospital. Because he saw Zheng Sen's belt, the belt was nothing, and it was nothing new in Prussia.

But the head of the leather is platinum, and there is a fierce shark cast on it.

Platinum is not something that everyone recognizes. At least old John and Mary didn't know it. As a low-level nobleman, Dawson naturally recognized this thing.

These days, most people like to show off with gold. Only the high-ranking nobles would use platinum. Because this is something that the average poor person simply cannot understand, and it is worth more than gold!

As for the shark, Dawson thought it should be a family crest or something. This is not difficult, because the city of Hamburg has a lot of well-informed businessmen who have done business with Orientals. There are also a few Japanese merchants, as long as you ask the Ming whose badge is a shark, you will definitely be able to find out the origin of this person.

The carriage arrived at the hospital, and Sir Dawson found someone to settle Zheng Sen in the hospital. After several doctors' examinations, Sir Martin, a graduate of the Hamburg Medical School, came over.

"Dawson, this man's condition is serious. I'm not sure he'll survive! ”

The answer was pessimistic, and Sir Dawson couldn't help it. Although I feel that this Ming man seems to be very important, there is no solid evidence.

Zheng Sen's clothes were ripped off from the inside out, and Sir Dawson looked at the leather head. The feeling of nestling in his hand lets Dawson know that this is a real piece of platinum, and that it is very pure.

"Huh......!" Sir Dawson found a watch on the table, and when he lifted Zheng Sen, he held his head and did not see his arm. Now that I saw it, I realized that this guy actually had a piece of ...... in his hand Wristwatch.

Many people have never even seen a watch. Sir Dawson had only seen it on Duke William's wrist, and the watch was significantly smaller than Duke William's.

Because of the processing technology, it is difficult to make such a small timepiece in this year. Even in the Ming Kingdom, the number of watches produced in a year is extremely limited. This man almost has a watch!

The same platinum texture, the scale of each hour, seems to be a gemstone. The twelve and six points are sapphires, and the three and nine points are rubies. The rest, it seems, are all diamonds.

A little below twelve o'clock, there was a protruding shark. It's exactly the same as the one on the belt head, but it's much smaller.

I sighed on the glass of the watch, but it couldn't fog up. It's crystalline! Crystal dial cover!

This person is not simple, because it is impossible for ordinary people to carry such an expensive watch. Who could this be?

Why did the magnates of the Ming Dynasty suddenly appear in Paris?

These are all questions!

As a low-ranking nobleman, Dawson couldn't explain these questions.

One thing is certain, however, that this watch is much more valuable than the one in Duke William's hand. This guy was fished out of the water, and the watch didn't leak.

Picking up his watch and belt head, Sir Dawson stepped out of the hospital and into the carriage. He was going to see Duke William to report the strange situation.

Just as he was about to get into the carriage, he actually saw two Japanese people. He recognized these two Japanese people as silk merchants who dealt in Daming silk. Because Prussia was too far away, the amount of silk used was not much. The silk merchants of the Ming Dynasty did not come here to do business at all, but were exploited by the Japanese people.

"Hello, Yamamoto-kun!" Sir Dawson got out of the carriage again and walked over to Kazuki Yamamoto.

"Hello Sir Dawson." After many years of business in Prussia, Kazuki Yamamoto has learned the Prussian language.

"Yamamoto-kun, could you please see whose badge this is?" Dawson was so confused that he only showed the belt head to Kazuki Yamamoto, but did not take out the expensive watch.

"Oh, I'll see. This is...... This is the badge of the Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty! Kazuki Yamamoto took the belt lead, looked at it and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"The Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty?" As a low-level nobleman, his knowledge is really limited, and Dawson doesn't know what kind of existence the Ming Zheng family is.

"The Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty is a very powerful family in the Ming Dynasty, they used to start as maritime merchants, and their power on the sea is very strong. Even in the Wa Kingdom, they were very powerful.

Later, they followed His Excellency the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty to the capital for development, and it is said that they are now one of the several major families in the center of the power of the Ming Dynasty.

Oh! By the way, Young Master Zheng Sen in their family is a student of His Excellency the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty. The only student! "Kazuki Yamamoto, I know these things in detail.

"The young master of the Zheng family? Have you seen it? ”

"Where have I been fortunate enough to meet such a noble person. I heard that this young master of the Zheng family is the person who is very fond of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, and according to our Wa country, he is the adopted son of the generalissimo. With the son of the generalissimo, almost the same. ”

"Oh! That's ......! ”

"Hmmm! I've heard that's the case, you're a ...... thing! ”

"Oh, someone gave it to Duke William, for the belt."

"It's great to meet you today, I wanted to go to your house yesterday to say goodbye, and now it's fate. I'm going to board the ship in a moment. ”

"In such a hurry?"

"The last payment has been received, and I have to hurry back to Daming to prepare the goods. If all goes well, I'll be back next year. Kazuki Yamamoto bowed to Sir Dawson.

"Oh, then I wish you a nice trip."

Sending away Kazuki Yamamoto, Sir Dawson couldn't hold back any longer. The things on this person's body absolutely confirm that he is a member of the Ming Zheng family. The Zheng family is a very powerful family in the Ming Dynasty.

With this information suffice, Dawson arrived at Sir William's official residence in a hurry.

A low-ranking nobleman like him is, at most, a butler of Sir Dawson. Even if there was an important report, Sir Dawson had to have time to see him.

When he reached the door, he saw that the Chief Intelligence Officer, Count Schmidt, had just walked through the door of Duke William's office.

After waiting for a long time, I saw Duke William come out with a frown. Count Schmidt followed suit. The two of them seem to be in a good mood!

"Lord Duke!" Seeing Duke William, Sir Dawson hurriedly saluted.

"Dawson, what are you doing?" Seeing Sir Dawson, Duke William was a little surprised. It seems that he did not call him!

"Lord Duke, look at these two things." So saying, Sir Dawson handed over the belt and watch.

"It's ......!" Duke William recognized this thing with the belt, but when he looked closely, this thing was actually platinum, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Platinum is something more valuable than gold. Whether it is the East or the West, only the great nobles can afford it.

On his own saber, there is a white gold edging.

Originally, Duke William was surprised by the belt head, but when he saw the watch, Duke William was even more surprised. Compared with other people's watches, Duke William couldn't wait to throw away the watch he bought at a high price on his wrist.

"This ...... Where did it come from? Duke William looked at Sir Dawson with blazing eyes.

"This was found from a man who had been fished up by the Ming Dynasty, and according to the Japanese merchants, the symbol of this shark was the emblem of a very powerful family in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, a young man in this family is the adopted son of His Excellency the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty. His Excellency the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty is very fond of him. ”

Sir Dawson, with great interest, reported his discovery.

"How do you know that?" Count Schmidt asked suddenly.

"I took the belt clip and asked a Japanese man named Yamamoto Kazuki. He told me! ”

Looking at Duke William again, his face was already extremely pale.

"Where are the people now?"

"Who? Kazuki Yamamoto? He seems to have said that he was going to take a boat back to the Wa Kingdom, and now he is estimated to have sailed. ”

"Damn, I mean the young man with this watch."

"In the hospital, Sir Martin said he might not survive."
