Sha Dinghai on the side was frightened by Zheng Zhilong's words and broke out in a cold sweat.

Judging from his expression, Zheng Zhilong must have known something.

If I let my father know that he caused all this today, I am afraid that this father and son will not be able to do it.

Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Their fleet, adrift at sea for more than a month, finally returned to Manila at 10 noon on the third day of July.

Today, Manila has become a more prosperous port than ever before, with more ships coming and going.

As soon as their fleet approached, they were detected by the soldiers on Corregido Island, who immediately reported to their superiors, and at the same time organized passing merchant ships to make way for Zheng Zhilong's fleet!

Zheng Zhilong is back!

By the time Zheng Zhilong's ship approached the dock, Zheng Zhibao had already led many of his subordinates to meet him at the dock.

"Big brother! You're finally back! I miss you!" As soon as Zheng Zhilong stepped off the warship, Zheng Zhibao walked forward quickly and greeted him with a hippie smile.

"It's such a big person, and it's not in shape." Zheng Zhilong reprimanded, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

He greeted his long-lost subordinates one by one, and then walked towards the city.

When he returned to his residence, Zheng Zhilong completely relaxed, sat on a chair, and instructed his subordinates to pour tea for him.

"Big brother, how about going to Jiaozhi this time?"

"What else, we're not the main force. When I arrived, the soldiers sent by His Majesty had already landed at the Zheng Clan's port."

"So powerful?"

"It's amazing! The soldiers of the Beijing camp are very sharp in weapons and equipment, and they are invincible! Even if there are only more than 10,000 people, you can easily defeat ten times as many enemies!"

"If it's so powerful, then why do you let the eldest brother lead the troops?"

"Assist. After all, it's not enough to just knock it down, and there are many places to use people." Zheng Zhilong took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Zheng Zhibao nodded, and after a while, he said cautiously:

"What if you compare it to our people?"

Syllable!

Zheng Zhilong slammed the cup in his hand on the table next to him, and then looked at Zheng Zhibao coldly:

"I'm not here these days. What have you done?"

Zheng Zhibao was frightened by the sudden change of face of his eldest brother, hurriedly stood up from the chair, and stood aside nervously.

"It is to manage the daily military affairs and cooperate with the people sent by the imperial court to calm the situation everywhere."

"What else?"

"No, no..."

"Zheng Zhibao, I don't know who you met, what you heard, and what thoughts you have. But I warn you, it's true that this place is far away from the capital, and the Emperor of Shangao is far away! But if I hear this again today, I will cut off your head with my own hands and send it to the capital to ask for sin! Did you hear that!?"

"Listen, hear."

"Get out!"

Zheng Zhibao took a few steps back and staggered a little.

"Master, your hand—" The butler who was waiting on the side whispered.

Zheng Zhilong ignored his hand cut by the cup, and sat on the chair without saying a word.

"What has Zhibao done these days? Who do you have more contact with? Check it out for me."

After a while, Zheng Zhilong exhaled lightly and instructed the housekeeper.

Originally, going home was a joyful thing, but Zheng Zhibao's words made his heart half cold.

Although he didn't say much, the meaning of the expression was quite obvious.

Zheng Zhibao had a different heart, was he bewitched by others, or did he think that the Zheng family's power was huge enough, big enough to fight against the emperor who was far away in the capital?

If it is the former, there is still a possibility of saving.

If it's the latter, then how many people below him have the same idea as him?

Zheng Zhibao this ***.

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong felt that his hand didn't hurt anymore and opened

I had a toothache at first.

Zheng Zhilong declined all the guests who came to visit, bandaged the wound on his hand, and then sat quietly in his study waiting for news.

It wasn't until nightfall that the butler hurried back from outside.

"Master, I've found out."

"Say."

"In the days when you are away, the third master has had more contact with a group of red-haired ghosts. Moreover, over the past few days, the third master has said a lot, a lot of things that he doesn't like."

"Red-haired ghost? Where did it come from?"

"Said I arrived a month ago, Dutchman, and said I wanted to see my lord. The old man was not there, so they waited in the city, and they didn't know what was going on, so they came into contact with the third master."

"I know, you send someone to Shen Qianhu's mansion to have a look, if you haven't slept, ask him to come over."

"Yes, sir."

Two quarters of an hour later, the butler came in again.

"Master, the people in Shen Qianhu's mansion said that Shen Qianhu had been tired of traveling and had fallen asleep."

"Got it."

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand, and his mood suddenly became irritable.

It's not yet time, so why did you fall asleep?

I'm afraid that during the time he got off the ship, Shen Lian already knew something, and if he thought about it at worst, it was possible that even His Majesty already knew about Zheng Zhibao's behavior.

Zheng Zhibao!

Zheng Zhilong scolded again.

This night, tired and ready, he was ready to sleep until dawn. But I can't sleep at night.

As soon as it was dawn, Zheng Zhilong got up from the bed, got into a sedan chair and came to Shen Lian's residence.

At this time, the door of Shen Lian's house was not opened.

Zheng Zhilong didn't care about it, and went up and knocked on the door.

"Who! Who is it! What a shot in the morning! Rushing to reincarnate? Ouch,, Mr. Zheng. Damn it!"

A teenage boy swore open the door, then sat down on his knees in fear.

Zheng Zhilong ignored him and walked straight to the courtyard.

"Brother Shen! Brother Shen! Did you get up!? The sun is all taking a snap of the ass! I can't afford it!"

Zheng Zhilong shouted as he walked, and came to the door of Shen Lian's room.

Shen Lian's residence was not big, except for the little boy who followed him, there was no one else.

Zheng Zhilong's loud voice successfully woke up Shen Lian, who was sleeping Zhengxiang.

Rao is poker face, he can see some unhappiness.

"Mr. Zheng came to me early in the morning, what is the matter?"

"Hey! It's not for Zheng Zhibao's ***!" In the hall, Zheng Zhilong sat on a chair and sighed and said to Shen Lian.

But Shen Lian didn't answer, just looked at Zheng Zhilong so quietly.

"In the days when we went to Jiaozhi, Zheng Zhibao may have been bewitched by some bad people and said some crazy things."

"What did you say?"

"Alas, in front of my brother, don't pretend to be confused. What did you say, you still don't know?" Zheng Zhilong stared at Shen Lian and said tentatively.

"Your Majesty already knows."

Shen Lian was still calm.

"Thank you, Brother Shen!"

Zheng Zhilong got up and saluted, and then walked out.

Knowing the news from Shen Lian's mouth made him give up the last bit of luck in his heart.

"Send someone to arrest all those red-haired ghosts! And Zheng Zhibao! Arrest them all!"

Out of Shen Lian's house, Zheng Zhilong immediately commanded his subordinates.
