Zheng Zhilong was a little nervous, and once again sorted out his dress, because he was about to meet one of the most important officials of the imperial court: Song Yingxing, the general staff of the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau.

Although it is still under the name of the Maritime Safety Bureau, in essence, Song Yingxing is already a minister of feudal territory, and he is the same minister of feudal territory as the protector of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, the Northern Courtyard Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Metropolitan Protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which will definitely be rebuilt in the future.

And in these days in Jinshan City, Zheng Zhilong gradually understood the gold content behind the name Song Yingxing, and only then did he know that the lord who was transported on the Nanyang class he served at the beginning was a rising star in the Ming Dynasty!

In the face of such a person, can you not be nervous?

It wasn't even him who was nervous, but Boss Qiu of the Fleet Chamber of Commerce was also nervous, although he was standing aside with the appearance of an old god, his clenched fists and tense face showed that he was very important and nervous about seeing Song Yingxing for a while.

Just when the two of them were so nervous that their nerves were about to break, a person who didn't seem to be weak, between a boy and a man, walked into the small courtyard of Song Yingxing's guest house with a young man who was dressed in silk and had an extraordinary background at a glance.

After Boss Qiu saw this young man, he was habitually ready to smile and say hello, but suddenly the whole person seemed to be stunned as if he had pressed the pause button, and then his expression became extremely subtle and complicated, and he peeked at Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong didn't know the person who was brought in, so he retracted his gaze after looking at the other party, and continued to wait anxiously for Song Yingxing's summons.

"Sangui, who are these two?"

"Brother Yizhi, they are also the people who were summoned by the teacher, so you should wait in the courtyard first."

These two are Wu Sangui, who was sent as apprentices by Song Yingxing's political allies, and Zhang Yizhi, who doesn't know his true origin and the real owner behind Dongshan Qianzhuang.

Boss Qiu knows Zhang Yizhi, after all, he can be the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, and there should be connections in all aspects, but Zhang Yizhi has no impression of Boss Qiu. At his level, ordinary rich businessmen are too lazy to spend energy to remember.

Boss Qiu didn't know what the considerations were, but in the end he still felt that he didn't say hello, and the three of them just stood in the courtyard and waited honestly, and the atmosphere became more and more weird.

"Sangui, have you all arrived?"

"Back to my lordship, except for the people from the navy, everyone is here."

Song Yingxing put down the letter in his hand and said expressionlessly: "Then let the people outside come in, if you have a confrontation, you don't need people from the navy, and it's not too late to call them when it's time to execute." ”

Although Wu Sangui said yes, he didn't understand what Song Yingxing was saying at all, not only did he not understand, but Yang Changbai and Sun Xin on the side also obviously didn't understand, but they all knew one thing, that is: the teacher was very angry!

This can be evidenced by the appearance of several other senior officials of the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau, who obviously don't know what the reason why Song Yingxing, who has always been kind and approachable, is so angry, and is afraid of harming the pond fish.

Especially the three people standing outside, except for Zhang Gongzi, who arrived last, among the other two, they only knew Boss Qiu of the Fleet Chamber of Commerce, and the last person didn't know anyone, but it was obvious that the reason why Song Yingxing was so angry was related to that person, because the letter was sent by that person.

"See the steward."

The people of the Ming Dynasty called the officials all called the lord, the lord, so there is a saying that the lord of the blue sky. Adults are more often used to address each other within the system, or as a folk honorific title.

On this kind of occasion, it is the most appropriate title to call the eldest master, and a high-level person who is called the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau knows very well that Zheng Zhilong has a certain understanding of officialdom.

Zheng Zhilong learned these from his uncle back then, and he didn't expect that they would be useful one day.

"Zheng Zhilong, right, your uncle is still a member of our Maritime Safety Bureau, and you can be regarded as a relative of our Maritime Safety Bureau."

Song Yingxing's words made everyone on the sidelines stunned, and they began to secretly figure out the deep meaning behind Song Yingxing's words.

Zheng Zhilong can indeed be regarded as a relative of the Maritime Safety Bureau, but there are countless officials up and down the Maritime Safety Bureau, and there are not too many relatives. Besides, Zheng Zhilong's uncle is just a petty official, not a member of the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau, so Song Yingxing's words are obviously endorsing Zheng Zhilong's background.

Who is the endorsement for? All the people who reacted looked at Zhang Yizhi.

It was indeed endorsed to Zhang Yizhi, and Zhang Yizhi also came over, but he didn't know what was going on, so he silently chose to continue to wait and see.

And Zheng Zhilong was the most nervous by Song Yingxing's endorsement, he didn't expect that in just one or two days, his family history would be investigated clearly. When others heard Song Yingxing's words, they felt like they were endorsing your identity as Zheng Zhilong, but Zheng Zhilong sounded like a beating.

"Back to the steward's old man, Uncle Xiaomin is indeed a low-level official of the Maritime Safety Bureau."

"In that case, what you said should be true?" Song Yingxing raised the letter that made everyone extremely curious.

"What Xiaomin said is true!"

Song Yingxing smiled and continued to ask: "Including the output and the gold rush points that you have discovered, are all true?" ”

"Back to the steward's words, all of them are true, and Xiaomin also participated in the survey of several gold rush points."

Gold Rush Point!?

The most anxious thing for the Maritime Safety Bureau during this period is the fact that "there is no gold mountain in Jinshan City", and they are extremely sensitive to the word "gold".

Could it be that a gold vein has been discovered?

That's a good thing!

The eyes of all the officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau looked at Zheng Zhilong friendly, no wonder he wanted to say that he was a relative of the Maritime Safety Bureau, and he was indeed his own person.

Who knew Song Yingxing's next question, and they were dumbfounded: "Dongshan Qianzhuang sent people to attack your gold panning camp, and wanted to take the gold and all the gold panning points for themselves, is this also true?" ”

Everyone present, except for Boss Qiu, who had already known about the matter in advance, looked at Zhang Yizhi violently, and Zhang Yizhi also raised his head in shock and looked at Zheng Zhilong, who was kneeling in the middle hall. At this time, he realized that it was not a good thing to be suddenly summoned by Song Yingxing today.

Zheng Zhilong didn't know that the major shareholder of Dongshan Qianzhuang was standing behind him, so he quickly kowtowed, and loudly complained that the shopkeeper of Dongshan Qianzhuang Xia and Zhang Bandit himself had hired hundreds of explorers as mercenaries to rob their camp to rob them of gold and gold panning points.

Zhang Yizhi's face turned pale suddenly, he remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but he didn't pay attention to it at all. Dongshan Prefecture is the least valued part of their other family's industry, if it weren't for Song Yingxing being demoted to Dongshan Prefecture this year, Zhang Yizhi might not have set foot on the land of Dongshan Prefecture in his life.

When Xia Jie applied to him for a firecracker, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and always thought that he was stealing gold from Zhang Bandit. Even if Xia Jie is allocated 50 firecrackers, it is because in the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, the family has always acted at this number, and it can only be said that he is a cub who sells Ye Tian and does not feel pain.

Even he didn't know how Xia Jie's progress was, all he thought about every day was how to meet Song Yingxing and beg him to help the family.

Now it seems that Xia Jie should have caused trouble for himself, and it was a big deal.

Zhang Yizhi immediately strode up, knelt down first, and said loudly: "Master Steward, Xiaomin doesn't know about this matter, but Xiaomin is willing to cooperate with the Maritime Safety Bureau to investigate this matter in detail!" ”
