"Liu Yifeng, what did the captain say?"

Looking at dozens of pairs of crew members staring at him, Liu Yifeng couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, because what he brought was not good news.

"He said: The contract signed between you and the previous captain, the Maritime Safety Bureau still admits that there should be someone to dock with you when you arrive in Dongshan Prefecture."

"And can he guarantee it?"

Liu Yifeng shook his head: "He doesn't make a guarantee, what he said was also told to him by someone from the Maritime Safety Bureau, he was just carrying out orders, he was not responsible for any problems, let you go to the Maritime Safety Bureau." ”

The crew's faces suddenly darkened.

They were all recruited by the old captain one by one, and the contract was also signed with the captain, although as Party C, Party A is the Maritime Safety Administration and the Navy, and the captain is only Party B.

Some of these crew members have personal relations with the old captain, but when they know that the captain is smuggling birds, the best personal relationship is at most to go back to the Ming Dynasty to meet the old captain in the prison.

The crew's dissatisfaction with the attitude of the substitute captain is now due to the fact that they are very worried about the damage to their interests.

Of course, the substitute captain knew what they were thinking, and in addition to worrying about this trip in vain, the crew was also worried that the ship would be directly taken back by the navy when it arrived in Dongshan Prefecture. There is a high probability that the next new captain assigned by the Maritime Safety Bureau will bring his own team, and the long-term meal tickets for these crew members will be lost.

But this is not something that he can decide on behalf of the captain, and it is unreliable for these crew members to ask for a guarantee or something from themselves.

Therefore, after the substitute captain knew that Liu Yifeng was the only person on the ship who could talk to all the crew, he no longer faced the crew directly, and the game with the crew depended on Liu Yifeng to communicate.

In the back and forth of communication, Liu Yifeng gradually understood the concerns of the crew. It is true that the substitute captain has no responsibility, his guarantee has no value, and even if he tries to do something for these crew members out of sympathy, it is doomed to be null and void.

The crew also understood this, and let Liu Yifeng go in a depressed mood, returned to their respective posts, and began to maintain the treasure ship.

Liu Yifeng sighed and returned to the cabin where Minfu was.

It has been decades since the Ming Dynasty reopened the sea ban, and the Maritime Safety Administration has been established for more than 20 years, and there is a set of maritime rules and systems that have been run-in according to the actual situation. This is not Liu Yifeng, who has no relevant theoretical knowledge and experience, but only knows some of the navigation rules of later generations, who can point fingers.

"Aobai, where is Feng Shuo?"

"Back to the master, Boss Feng is on the side of the Japanese slave girl."

"What's going on?"

"Someone from the Maritime Administration wants to take them away."

Liu Yifeng was worried that this group of men would be working against the Maritime Safety Bureau, so he hurriedly ran to the cabin of the Japanese slave girl with Ao Bai.

There was already a confrontation over there, and the grassroots officials of the 1 Maritime Safety Bureau were surrounded by Feng Shuo and the leaders of the people.

Liu Yifeng didn't hesitate, pushed away the crowd, and kicked Feng Shuo. But the kick wasn't heavy, it just looked big.

"Look for death! You dare to stop the Maritime Safety Bureau, do you want to fish in the cold water!? ”

His chanting calmed down the excited people, and they suddenly realized what they were doing, and their faces turned pale.

Officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau have the right to kill!

The little official of the Maritime Bureau was red with anger, and he received an order to come up and pick up the Japanese slave girls. Thinking about picking up the female slaves, he didn't bring any weapons, so he couldn't kill people immediately after being surrounded by Feng Shuo and others.

Feng Shuo also understood, so when Liu Yifeng kicked him again, he jumped out after an exaggerated scream, rolling on the ground in "pain".

"Liu Yifeng, what the hell are you doing!"

"My lord, my lord, it's our fault." As he spoke, he took off the delicate deerskin gloves on his hands, which Song Yingxing had rewarded him.

Without any hesitation or dragging, Liu Yifeng stuffed his gloves into the official's arms: "My lord, everyone is a man, understand." This group of mud-legged people has been holding back for too long, and they really can't bear to let go of these ugly and weird slaves. You also know that after holding it for a long time, my pants are wet every morning, and it's uncomfortable. ”

Maybe it was the deerskin gloves that worked, or maybe it was the man's understanding of the man, and the official was a lot less angry.

Seeing this, Liu Yifeng immediately shouted and scolded everyone: "Hurry up and apologize to the adults!" ”

The chaotic apology made the official angry completely, but he was not ready to take the Japanese slave girl off the ship in person, he had a psychological shadow about being surrounded just now, and he was afraid that this group of men with a brain would be impulsive again: "Liu Yifeng, I will give you a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, you will bring me out one by one!" ”

With that, he left.

"You are looking for death, and you are actually rebelling against the people of the Maritime Administration!"

"But the big chief, they want to take away the slave girls!"

"So what? Haven't you figured out who these slave girls belong to? ”

To whom?

5 major trading houses, but they are also strictly speaking one of the smuggled goods, and now they belong to the Maritime Administration. But whether it is the five major commercial houses or the Maritime Safety Bureau, it has nothing to do with their people.

"We've already taken advantage of it, don't be satisfied!"

Feng Shuo and the others lowered their heads and stopped talking.

They were the ones who played with those Japanese slave girls, but the one who paid for the delicate gloves was Liu Yifeng. That glove was nothing in the eyes of Song Yingxing and the others, but it was a very valuable thing in the eyes of these people.

"Okay, it's all gone, Feng Shuo, Ao Bai, you two go to the kitchen to get some pastry, and say I'll take it."

With that, he walked into the cabin of the Japanese slave girl.

There were two women among the Japanese slave girls who could speak some Chinese, and they had already understood what was going on. lined up one by one, ready to leave with Liu Yifeng.

But Liu Yifeng stopped them until Feng Shuo and Ao Bai came over with a basket of dough cakes.

"During this time, you have also worked hard."

Out of the most basic sympathy, Liu Yifeng gave each of them a dough cake the size of a face.

Although these dough cakes are not fermented, they are dry and hard, but they are indeed made of refined wheat mixed with coarse wheat, which these Japanese people can't eat at all in the Japanese country, and they are all grateful to Liu Yifeng for their gifts.

When Feng Shuo was asked to take the Japanese slave girl out, the two Chinese speakers suddenly turned around and grabbed Liu Yifeng, and directly pulled him to the depths of the cabin, not only that, but the two of them also directly threw themselves on the bed where the Japanese slave girl spread the floor with a futon.

Liu Yifeng was stunned, and his first reaction was that these two people wanted to thank themselves with their bodies.

If it was a beautiful woman, he would close his eyes and not resist, but these two people were ugly and salty, and there was a sour smell on their bodies, so he quickly broke free from them.

"Liu さま (Liu Lord), here, violation, we, slave girl, bed, violation, give, Liu さま."

He went back and forth several times, and pointed to the place where the thick futon was spread on the ground.

Liu Yifeng frowned and lifted the somewhat smelly futon, and found that below was a flat wooden box about 70 centimeters long, 4 of which were vertically placed in two rows to form a bed. Many of these Japanese female slaves are only about 1.4 meters, and they lie on them and rub more than enough.

He opened one of the wooden boxes, and inside was a tight straw, and in the straw lay a pistol quietly!

No, in this day and age it should be said that it is handcuffs!

Liu Yifeng couldn't bear the shock, picked up a handful and looked at it, and found that this was not an arquebus, and the place in front of the trigger that should have been an arquebus ignition was a flint lighter device with a spring wheel structure, which means that this is a flintlock pistol!

The flintlock pistol was indeed the prototype that appeared at the end of the 16th century, and it is not clear whether there was Liu Yifeng in the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century, but this did not prevent him from recognizing the significance of these flintlock pistols.

In the same wooden box, there are also 4 small jars the size of a palm, which are sealed with wax. Liu Yifeng shook it, making sure that one jar was powdery, and the other three jars should be metal marbles or something.

It is clear that 1 can of gunpowder, 3 cans of bullets.

He put the handcuff back in and covered it with a plank. The bedding of the other slave girls was opened in succession, and sure enough, under each bed were four wooden boxes that stood vertically and in two rows.

Liu Yifeng looked up at the two who became the leaders of the Japanese slave girls because they knew Chinese.

"Liu, red bean grains Aligado, violation, give, Liu, we, don't say."

Liu Yifeng understood what was going on.

At first, each of these Japanese slave girls had only one blanket each, and they slept in groups on the cold cabin floor. Later, Liu Yifeng proposed to reward the crew, which improved the living environment of these Japanese slave girls a lot, because the crew gave them a lot of bedding for their own pleasant experience.

In order to better serve the people of the Heavenly Empire, she took out the smuggled bird gun wooden box and threw it on the floor to cover it with thick bedding to form a bed.

The reason why I only took the handcuffs was because the wooden boxes of the handcuffs were four in two rows to form a bed. The length of the wooden box of the bird gun, that is, the arquebus, is more than 1.7 meters, and their average height is only about 1.4 meters.

After having the "bed", the crew also felt much more comfortable when they were working, which made the Japanese slave girls who had used the goods without permission feel at ease.

Liu Yifeng estimated that they didn't know that they were sleeping on the smuggled bird guns at first, and they didn't know until the Maritime Safety Bureau of Liughost City found out.

The bedding was thick enough, and the slave girls slept in the corners that no one would find anything underneath in the dimly lit cabin. Liu Yifeng didn't notice it when he came in just now, thinking that it was the futon spread on the floor.

When the people of the Maritime Safety Bureau confiscated the smuggled birds, they did not think that those always honest Japanese slave girls would be so bold as to take the goods and use them as beds under them.

And so the handcuffs remained.

Japanese people are also human beings, and most of them are not stupid, the difference is only in the level of education received. The fact that these two Japanese slave girls learned some Chinese under such harsh conditions is enough to show that the two of them are quite smart.

After the captain was arrested, they learned that there was something wrong with the wooden boxes in the cabin, and the Japanese slave girls immediately began to be afraid.

Later, when serving Feng Shuo and the others, everyone tried their best to curry favor with them and take away the information from their mouths. As soon as they put it together, they probably understood what was going on.

After returning to the ship, the Japanese slave girl found that the wooden box was still there, and she was immediately very embarrassed. Fortunately, the people from the Maritime Safety Bureau wanted to take them away, and they were immediately relieved.

When Liu Yifeng sent them away, he gave each Japanese female slave a very valuable (Japanese standard) white flour cake, so that all the female slaves were grateful to him.

And during the time they lived in the dock camp, Liu Yifeng let them eat the same food as the "noble" Han people. Coupled with his tall and tall horses, many of these female slaves actually have some secret promises, looking forward to Liu Yifeng coming to him, and he will definitely serve him well.

It's a pity that Liu Yifeng didn't come.

These two are also one of the female slaves who have a crush on Liu Yifeng, they know the preciousness of the firecracker, and they also know from the people's husband that the captain was arrested because of the bird's gun.

The two of them thought that since they were leaving, they would give these firecrackers to Liu Yifeng as a gift and ask him to report them for credit.

After once again looking deeply at the beautiful man in their eyes with affectionate eyes, the two followed Ao Bai and got off the boat.

Liu Yifeng was left alone in the cabin.

He locked the door and opened all the bedding, looked at the 124 wooden boxes, and fell into deep thought......
