By the time Zhu Zhanyan arrived in Xiangzhou Mansion, it was already September.

In this era, everything is good, and problems can be overcome, but only the problem of transportation is what Zhu Zhanyan has always wanted to change, but it has never been effective.

He didn't actually do anything this year, he set off for Europe in Suncheon in February, stayed in Europe for only two months, and then spent more than three months on the way back and forth.

By the time he returned to Suncheonfu, he would have to spend four months on the road.

Don't look at these four months as a long time, but in fact, it is already very short, because if you take it apart, Zhu Zhanyan's one-way trip to and from Europe is only two months.

You must know that in the past, when Zheng He went to the West, although he had to visit various countries, the round trip started in a year, and even longer, and the farthest was only around the Red Sea.

Zhu Zhanyan went to Europe, and he was going to cross the Red Sea into the Mediterranean, and the time for a single trip of two months and a round trip of four months was already very fast.

……

"Oh, where are they all here?"

As soon as I got off the boat, I saw the man kneeling on the ground, as well as his brother and ...... Future brother-in-law.

"It's all here." Zhu Zhanqi stepped forward with a smile.

"Big brother, it's also appropriate for you to come back, these people have just been arrested for less than half a month, I originally planned to escort them to my father's side, or send them to your side with the supply fleet, but I happened to receive the news that you are coming back."

"Big brother, look at it, what are you going to do with these people?"

"Just follow the normal process." Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand and didn't say anything.

For the Shi family who occupied the Old Port Propaganda Division, Zhu Zhanyan actually wanted to dispose of it a long time ago, but because he didn't have much time to go west, and there was nothing wrong with the people before, he didn't worry.

As for now...... Actually, there's not much to say.

Zhu Gaosui, the former king of Zhao in the Ming Dynasty, was charged with rebellion, although he retained the identity of the clan when he was exiled, but the crime remained unchanged.

Shi Jisun privately colluded with Zhu Gaosui and took Zhu Gaosui away from Australia, the place of exile, which is the same capital crime as rebellion, and the crime will be linked to the nine clans.

This is the most normal process and the most normal conviction.

As for what his brother said, it was only half a month since he caught these people, and Zhu Zhanyan didn't feel that his brother was ineffective.

Although Malacca can be said to be the shipping choke point of the whole world, its development is still relatively backward.

During the Hongwu period, piracy was rampant, and it lasted until the Yongle period, until Zheng He's ocean-going fleet began to go to sea, which was a relatively complete solution to the problem of piracy.

Therefore, the development time around Malacca is actually only more than ten years, and the backward society and relatively primitive environment make it more difficult to catch people and clean them.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, it's a disappointment." Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand as he spoke, slightly letting go of his position.

"Shouldn't you care more about this one in comparison?"

As Zhu Zhanqi moved away, two clusters of blush appeared on Zhu Zhanqi's face, even Mu Qin, who was standing beside Zhu Zhanqi.

Because behind Zhu Zhanqi is the head of the Mu family today, Mu Sheng.

This time he set off to return to Shuntianfu, and when he passed through the Suez area, Zhu Zhanqi also called Mu Sheng by the way, after all, when he went to Europe, Zhu Zhanqi promised Zhu Zhanqi to handle his marriage.

Marriage events, in this era of "parents' lives, matchmakers' words", if the parents of both parties are not there, it is fine, since they are still alive, they will naturally be present.

Moreover, the marriage of Zhu Zhanqi and Mu Qin is already very contrary to the conventions of this era, because their weddings are basically prepared by themselves, and both parents are not available.

If the parents don't show up at the wedding, then it is estimated that the marriage will become a joke.

"Alright, let's go back and talk about it." Mu Sheng looked at his daughter with a little love and a little emotion.

It was only at this time that he would cross Zhu Zhan Yan and say these words, because he knew that with this marriage being put on the agenda, the relationship between their Mu family and King Wu would not be the same as before.

Of course, it is true that the relationship is closer, but this does not mean that their Mu family can do whatever they want.

After guarding the Suez area for so many years, the Mu family has also learned the importance of the Suez area, which makes the Mu family even more like walking on thin ice.

Because the Mu family knows very well that Zhu Zhan Yan handed over such an important place to them, firstly because of trust, and secondly because of Mu Qin's relationship.

However, this does not mean that they can rest easy, because the more important they occupy, the more careful they must be, and if they make mistakes, the punishment will be far heavier than others.

Because of Suez's throat area, Zhu Zhanyan will never allow any problems.

"Okay, listen to your future father-in-law, go home first." Zhu Zhanyan also stood up and laughed at the pair of future newcomers.

If it was in the past, Zhu Zhanqi would definitely follow behind honestly and listen to Zhu Zhanqi's words, but this time he didn't.

"Eh, big brother!" Zhu Zhanqi hurriedly grabbed his eldest brother.

"Don't be in a hurry to go home first, there is still something my brother wants to explain to you, but it is not the same as other things, I am afraid that you have to go and see it in person."

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanyan was a little surprised, but seeing that the expression on his younger brother's face was very serious, it didn't seem to be a fake, as if there was really something important.

"Then let's go check it out first."

Although he didn't know what his brother was talking about, Zhu Zhanyan still decided to take a look, after all, it was his younger brother, and he hadn't made any mistakes after so many years.

But he never thought that Zhu Zhanyan was just about to walk towards the carriage that his younger brother had prepared for him, when he was stopped again.

"Huh! Eldest brother! Zhu Zhanqi hurriedly grabbed his eldest brother, and after looking around, he actually pulled his eldest brother and walked two steps to the side.

"This thing...... Not everyone is suitable for the ...... of the past"

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanyan frowned, but then he thought of something, and looked at his younger brother sharply.

Although he didn't speak, Zhu Zhanqi nodded slightly, confirming Zhu Zhanqi's conjecture.

"Zhu Ling!" Zhu Zhanyan turned around, and his expression became very serious.

"You bring something to the palace! Zhu Ping, you draw 200 people out and come with me. ”

"Second Uncle Mu......"

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan's gaze turned to Mu Sheng and hesitated.

"Second Uncle Mu's words, come with me, but Mu Qin can't go over yet."

"The courtier will go back to the palace first, and instruct the Shang Food Bureau to prepare meals in advance, so as to catch the wind and wash the dust for His Royal Highness."

Mu Sheng was originally going to open his mouth and let his daughter leave first, after all, the time with Zhu Zhanyan was not short, and he could naturally see that Zhu Zhanyan really had something very important.

But Mu Qin's sense of smell and sensitivity are not weaker than her father's, let alone exercising by Zhu Zhanqi's side for so long.

As soon as Zhu Zhanyan spoke, she knew what she should do.
