Thinking of this, Yu Ren felt a little guilty. Zhao Rui has obviously been paying attention to and caring about herself. But he has never thought of her for such a long time, let alone sent someone to inquire about her. He didn't even know anything about such a big thing as when she would get married.

"I'm ashamed of what you say! I haven't taken the initiative to contact you for more than half a year. ”

Zhao Rui comforted Yu Ren in turn, "You can't be blamed for this. I know you've had a lot of things to do in the past six months, and you can't keep busy. As long as you have this heart, I will be satisfied. At this point, her eyes lit up, like stars in the night sky.

Yu Ren felt that Zhao Rui's eyes were pure but direct, and her affection for herself was undoubtedly expressed from these eyes, without words. Yu Ren's heart moved slightly, he believed that as long as he stretched out his hand at this time, the beauty in front of him would throw himself into his arms. But he didn't dare, and he couldn't, because his heart already belonged to another woman. This kind of responsibility to a woman lets him know that love is also to be tempered.

Yu Ren avoided Zhao Rui's somewhat hot eyes. "You said in the letter that there is a way to solve our family's crisis this time, what is going on?"

Seeing that Zhao Rui never mentioned this matter, Yu Ren really had some doubts about whether she sent this letter just to see herself.

Zhao Rui saw that Yu Ren was on business, so he sat down on the stone bench again.

Yu Ren also sat down on the stone bench next to her, only to find that the stone bench was really cold. Now that the weather is approaching the wax moon, sitting on a stone bench in the wilderness is like being on a piece of ice.

"This stone bench is too cold, be careful of getting sick. Let's talk in another place! Yu Ren said, naturally reaching out and pulling Zhao Rui up.

Zhao Rui stood up obediently, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but Yu Ren just pulled her up and let go of her hand. Zhao Rui was a little disappointed, but she still followed Yu Ren to a pine forest not far away.

"That's right." Zhao Rui knew that Yu Ren was anxious to know how to solve their Shen family's difficulties, so he stopped selling Guanzi.

"The day before yesterday, when I heard the news from Matsue's men about your uncle's house being surrounded by officers and soldiers, I hurried to visit an old friend of my father's. He is not only the master of our Donglin people, but also a resourceful predecessor. I know he'll be able to help you.

At first, he was reluctant to do so. Saying that your identity is suspicious, I'm afraid that you really have something to do with the bandits. I have no choice but to bring up the fact that you once sacrificed your life for our Donglin Party in Hangzhou to win reputation. And reminded him that if you are overthrown because of this matter, I am afraid that those Zhejiang party elements in the DPRK will take the opportunity to attack our Donglin Party again.

That's when he gave me an idea. I got the idea, so I hurried to Songjiang, and then quietly sent someone to put the letter in the basket of the next person who was out of your house to buy vegetables when the people were unprepared. ”

When Yu Ren heard this, he realized that Zhao Rui really had a way, and it was not just an excuse to see himself. However, after all, what Zhao Rui sees about her situation is only the surface, and her method is not feasible, but it is not necessarily. So, Yu Ren hurriedly asked, "What is the solution?" ”

"That man gave me an idea, saying that as long as you can do what he said, not only are you not guilty, but your whole family is not guilty, and you will get a great credit for this, and maybe the court will make you an official because of this."

Yu Ren was a little unconvinced, he could be regarded as having been put on the neck with a knife in front of him, how could there be such a good thing. But he didn't immediately dismiss Zhao Rui.

"Tell me about it."

Zhao Rui moved his body to Yu Ren's side. "Do you know why the imperial court suddenly and vigorously used troops in the southeast? It is said that at this time, Liaodong was newly defeated, and the situation was urgent and critical. However, the southeast coast is too peaceful, and the imperial court should send heavy troops to Liaodong, and it should not be distracted in the southeast at this time. ”

Yu Ren nodded. "Yes! That's where I couldn't figure it out. ”

Actually, it's a bit of a fluency to talk about this reason. It is said that it was because Nan Juyi, the current governor of Fujian, was on his way to his post and sailed south from Nanjing, and once he happened to hear a few businessmen talking about the business of going to sea to depreciate goods. Those few people talked back and forth, and there were only two people who were concerned, but they never mentioned the ship berthing department set up by the imperial court. It's as if the ship doesn't exist at all.

This made the governor of the south very curious, so he asked the merchants about it. Because he was a simple man in civilian clothes, others didn't know that he was the new governor of Fujian, so they told him 1510. It is said that the two people who cannot be offended in this southeast sea, one is called Miss Li, and the other is a person named Xu Xinsu.

'Then, don't you have to go to the Accommodation Ship Boor? Nan Juyi asked. Unexpectedly, those few people, when they heard him mention the Boat Bo Division, all showed contemptuous looks.

'The ship berth division of the imperial court is nothing but an empty yamen. The people in them also rely on the Li family and the Xu family for food. As long as you get the relationship between the Li and Xu families right, do you still need to care about these minions? ’

It is said that after this incident, the governor of the south immediately sent people to secretly infiltrate those maritime merchants as soon as he returned to Fujian, and finally inquired about the situation of the Li and Xu families.

The governor of the south is a man with means, and I heard that he first used a trick to discord, and turned against a pirate leader at sea, Xu Yi, a high-ranking official, and ordered him to confront the strongest Li family. But I didn't expect this guy to be angry, and he was soon cleaned up by the Li family.

Therefore, the governor of the south wrote again, asking the imperial court to send a large army to recruit and suppress.

He wrote down all the information he had in his notebook, and analyzed that it was precisely because the imperial court was going to use troops to Liaodong and exterminate the Jurchens with all its might, that it was necessary to send troops to clear the southeast coast first. It should be known that the southeast half of the wall is the money and grain depot of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the army's logistics supplies are drawn from here. If something happens, it will certainly have a major impact on the war situation in Liaodong, and even shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, so it is necessary to clear the southeast coast before sending troops to Liaodong, so as to ensure that the army can have enough logistics.

The imperial court adopted his suggestion, so it sent 10,000 elite sailors to Susong, Zhejiang, and Fujian respectively, and gave them three months to deal with the bandits. ”

Only then did Yu Ren know the cause and effect of the whole thing. But he still didn't see his chance.

"So, what chance do I have to turn over?" Yu Ren asked anxiously.

Zhao Rui looked at Yu Ren and finally showed a shameless look, and felt that she was particularly relieved. All along, she always felt that Yu Ren was like a proud rooster in front of her, as if she took the initiative to get to him and sent everything to the door, and he looked like he didn't give it.

A hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. "Want to know?"

"Yes!" Yu Ren nodded affirmatively.

Zhao Rui suddenly stretched out her legs and leaned back. "Yikes! After sitting for a long time, this leg is really sore. ”

Yu Ren understood, at this time, he didn't dare to offend Zhao Rui. So he hurriedly used his unique skills, took out the massage techniques he secretly learned when he was getting a haircut in the hair salon, and pinched Zhao Rui's legs. In fact, this is the second time he has massaged Zhao Rui. The last time was when the two of them were locked up in a prison in Hangzhou, when Zhao Rui was sick. At that time, in order to prevent Zhao Rui from falling asleep, Yu Ren had to give her some full-body massage.

And for Zhao Rui, this is the most unforgettable experience of her life.

After pinching for a while, Yu Ren let go. "It's okay! Now let's talk about it! ”

Zhao Rui seemed to be still immersed in that happy and comfortable enjoyment, and was awakened by Yu Ren's words, so she opened her eyes a little reluctantly.

"Alright! For the sake of you pinching my legs so seriously, I'll tell you!

In fact, the key opportunity lies in these three governors. Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, advocated force, but Xiong Wencan, the governor of Susong, advocated that Zhao'an should be the mainstay. He believes that these pirates have always been mixed at sea, and they are very familiar with the waterways of the southeast sea, and they are good at water warfare, so they are not so easy to fight.

And when it comes to the essence, they are all businessmen, if they can recruit peace, they can use them to collect a lot of extra taxes and silver for the imperial court at sea every year, at least they can save their military salaries. It's a win-win-win

Therefore, as long as you can convince that pirate magnate Xu Xinsu to accept the court's offer. If you contact Lord Xiong on this side, this matter is basically done.

In this way, no matter whether you really had a gangster before, no one will pursue it. And because of this great contribution you have made for the imperial court, I am afraid that the imperial court will also grant you an official and a half-position. ”

Yu Ren fell into deep thought again.

"What you said was the man's assumptions, and there was always some wishful thinking, in case he guessed wrong. This Lord Xiong doesn't have the heart to recruit peace, so shouldn't I be caught in the net? ”
