Tang Mu thought about it for a long time, and when he figured it out, Li Zhaoji was already talking to Liu Li on the side, Tang Mu walked over quickly, put the cloak on Li Zhaoji, and Li Zhaoji said, "Let's go, prepare the horses, and go to Guangzhou." ”

"Big shopkeeper, what's going on?" Tang Mu was puzzled and asked.

Li Zhaoji said: "Zheng Tingqiu, that guy succeeded, he really caught Lin Cha, he really had some luck." ”

"Big shopkeeper, this is Zheng Tingqiu's secret letter to you." Liu Li handed Li Zhaoji a bamboo tube.

The wax on the bamboo tube was very well sealed, Li Zhaoji nodded slowly, and said to Liu Li: "Ali, you go and get busy, during this time, the shopkeeper of the Guangdong gentry will come a lot, you don't have to work hard, treat well, and the trade affairs will be in accordance with the regulations we have agreed." ”

"Yes, Shopkeeper." Liu Li owed himself and left.

Li Zhaoji opened the bamboo tube, looked at the contents of the bamboo tube, nodded with satisfaction, suddenly, he seemed to have found something wrong, looked at Tang Mu again, and then turned his head down to look at the letter, Tang Mu shrunk his neck in fright, and muttered in his heart that he wouldn't say anything unfavorable to himself.

Li Zhaoji beckoned to Tang Mu, motioned him to come closer, and suddenly slapped Tang Mu in the face, and asked with a cold face: "You went to have something to do with Zheng Tingqiu, did you go in person?" ”

"Oh...... Yes, I think it's very important, it's about the overall situation, and I don't worry about other people going to ........ Tang Mu explained, but the left side of his face was hit again.

"Did I tell you to send someone else?" Li Zhaoji asked.

"Yes, but it's ........."

Bang, another slap hit Tang Mu in the face, Tang Mu lowered his head, knowing that he couldn't defend anymore, but said, "I'm sorry, big shopkeeper, I was wrong." ”

"Do you know what's wrong with you?" Li Zhaoji asked.

"You shouldn't be in charge of your orders." Tang Mu said.

Li Zhaoji snorted coldly: "Think again!" ”

Tang Mu nodded stupidly and followed behind Li Zhaoji, he really couldn't understand, when he arrived in Macau, Tang Mu first arranged a horse team, and rode north with Li Zhaoji, and after crossing the gate, Li Zhaoji asked: "Do you understand?" ”

Tang Mu still shook his head, and Li Zhaoji asked, "You said, why did I explain this matter to you, instead of me contacting Zheng Tingqiu in person." ”

"How can you go!" Tang Mu immediately said, his face was full of course, and said: "You are the big shopkeeper of the trading company, and Hong Kong is the tiger's den in Longtan, if you have three longs and two shorts, what can the trading company do?" ”

Li Zhaoji asked: "What about you, are you a person who can die casually?" ”

Tang Mu lowered his head, Li Zhaoji's voice was much softer, he rode on his horse, and comforted: "Tang Mu, you are not the little soldier who relied on courage and courage to fight for the future in front of the battle, you have made great achievements, and I have also given you the corresponding status and authority."

In a trading company, you are already an important person, and the son of a daughter does not do a penalty, even if you are not a son of a daughter, you also have a lot of responsibilities. If you continue to insist on going your own way and not taking your life to heart, how dare I explain to you when I encounter a major event related to fate in the future.

And how do you get you in charge? Imagine, if I give you an army, but you charge ahead, and when you die, the army is scattered, defeated, annihilated, and scattered........ How tragic. ”

"Yes, I see." Tang Mu wiped his somewhat sore nose and said.

"You kid is much more important than you think, bravery is a virtue, and to be honest, I'm not as good as you in this regard. But bravery can't solve everything, you are already married, you must learn to be mature and steady. Trading companies need people who are in charge of their own affairs, and they need people who are both loyal to me and can be independent. Li Zhaoji patted him on the head and persuaded.

Lee Siu-kee arranged for someone to go to Hong Kong to contact Zheng Tingqiu, and his purpose was twofold, one was to let Zheng Tingqiu act as an internal response in the next war and play a role at the right time. The other is to try to get rid of Rincha.

And the way to get rid of Lin Cha is to attack Nantou Water Village, so that Lin Cha will bear the responsibility for defeat, and Li Zhaoji can use both soft and hard means to make Shen Youlong blame Lin Cha, at least take away his military power. In this way, on the opposite side of Guangdong, the most aggressive force against the trading companies and with real power was dismissed.

Of course, Zheng Tingqiu caught Lin Cha, and the result seemed to be better.

But the foundation of all this is that Zheng Tingqiu is willing to cooperate with the trading company, but Li Zhaoji is not sure of this, he is not sure whether Zheng Tingqiu really values Miao Niang and his two sons, and even does not know whether Zheng Tingqiu knows that Wu Da and Miao Niang have an affair, and the child may not be his business.

Therefore, it is very dangerous for the Hong Kong party, so between the lines of Zheng Tingqiu's reply, it was mentioned that Tang Mu had been to Hong Kong Island, Li Zhaoji was so angry, this young man is a talent he focuses on cultivating, and he has always performed very well.

Guangzhou.

In order to show his closeness to Chen Zizhuang, Shen Youlong simply lived in Nanyuan during his stay in Guangzhou.

At this time, in the flower hall of the South Garden, a fierce pipa sound came, spreading far away in the silent South Garden.

"Okay, this song is ambushed on all sides, it is excellent, but a pipa plays a hundred thousand armor." Shen Youlong listened, high-fived and said.

Chen Zizhuang is not only the leader of the gentry in Guangdong, but also very famous, making a wide range of friends in Guangzhou, today invited a few scribes to come, and Shen Youlong drank and sang poetry, quite enjoyed, and there was a scribe Xinna and a concubine, a song was played, which aroused the applause of everyone.

"After all, it's still a little sad and generous." Chen Zizhuang said lightly, he looked around at everyone and explained: "Everyone can play this song, but only a woman who has a good idea in her heart and knows the sinister sword can play the true meaning."

There was also such a famous singer in Guangzhou, named Bai Mo, who can be described as a woman, playing this song, the most enlightened, but it was a pity that he was committed to Li Zhaoji. ”

"Yes, yes, then Li Zhaoji, how can he have such a strange woman." Some people are also indignant.

Shen Youlong smiled, and said in his heart, Chen Zizhuang is really extraordinary, just one repertoire, can say that so many literati are prejudiced against Li Zhaoji, and these people will be of great use in the future.

At this time, the servant outside the door said, "Master, someone has come from Guangzhou, and he wants to see the governor." ”

"Do you need to ask, please come quickly." Chen Zizhuang said.

After a while, it was Zhao Wenji who walked in, this is a person everyone knows, and they all saluted, Zhao Wenji held a letter, handed it to Shen Youlong, and said: "Dong Weng, a letter from Songjiang Lingtang, the students dare not postpone it, so they specially sent it." ”

Chen Zizhuang opened the letter, his face changed slightly, he looked at everyone, and said, "Mr. Zhao, where is the person who sent the letter at this time?" ”

"Dong Weng, the messenger is a Jiangnan businessman, who came to Guangzhou to buy goods, originally thought you were in Zhaoqing, so he went to Zhaoqing to deliver the letter, and heard that you were in Guangzhou, and hurriedly returned. Now that I have returned to Macau, I am afraid that I will leave for my hometown in the near future. Zhao Wenji said lightly.

Shen Youlong got up: "The family letter is worth 10,000 dollars, my mother remembers it, I have to reply to a letter, I don't dare to delay, everyone, the old man will take the first step." ”

Back at Nanyuan's residence, Shen Youlong almost threw himself on the bed, disappointed, angry and other negative emotions completely knocked him down, he held the letter, sometimes clenched his fingers clicked, sometimes smashed on the bed, the letter was shattered by him.

This letter is not a letter brought by a merchant, but a letter written by Zhao Wenji, and the content is only one, Lin Cha was captured by pirates.

In the South Park, Shen Youlong was angry, and there was no way to vent the anger in his heart, so he only hated that he hadn't arrested Lin Cha earlier.

"Dong Weng, there are many people, so I made this decision, and now that it is scattered, it is better to ask Chen Zizhuang to discuss." Zhao Wenji said.

"No, you can't let anyone know." Shen Youlong said.

Lin Cha is not an ordinary person, he is the chief soldier of Guangdong, the military commander of a province, this kind of person is captured, and if people know it, his future will be completely gone. Shen Youlong suddenly got up and asked, "Can this matter be passed on?" ”

"There shouldn't be, the letter was sent to Guangzhou in the afternoon, General Chen directly took down the person who delivered the letter, and after interrogation, it was sent by the four pirates surnamed Shibi, and the arrangement for the pirates was that if they didn't go back after ten days, they would be made public.

Then put forward the conditions, let you disband the group training, and arrest Li Zhaoji to ransom Lin Cha. Zhao Wenji said.

Shen Youlong was a little relieved and stroked his chest: "It's okay, it's okay, fortunately, I have ten days, and I can still turn around at this time." ”

Zhao Wenji stopped talking, seeing that Shen Youlong was unwilling to say more, he retreated, Shen Youlong fidgeted, thinking about countermeasures in the room, but he really couldn't think of any good way, the two requirements were extremely difficult.

Li Zhaoji's life-sparing person, if it is easy to catch, he will be arrested at the Hongmen banquet last time, and he will not be taken hostage by him backhanded.

As for the group training, that is the reliance of the Guangdong gentry on the right to speak, how can they be willing to disband?

In a daze, Shen Youlong fell asleep on the bed, and in his sleep, many people appeared, and he dreamed of those important ministers who were executed by Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, Zheng Chongjian, the governor of Shaanxi, and those ministers who committed suicide because of defeat, Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting, etc.

These people were talking in his ear, some were intimidating, some were angry, some were angry.

In the end, these people actually stretched out their hands to him at the same time, as if they wanted to pull him into the endless abyss, and Shen Youlong, who was frightened, was sweating profusely and jumped up directly.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Song Bao, who was resting on the bed, got up, patted him on the back, and after serving him to sit down, he took a towel and wiped the sweat on Shen Youlong's forehead.

"Master, why don't I call Mr. Zhao and ask him to answer your questions?" Songbao said.

Shen Youlong waved his hand: "That's it, don't ask him about this matter again." ”

Zhao Wenji admires Li Zhaoji very much, so he can't accept the fact that Shen Youlong and Lin Cha set up the Hongmen banquet at the beginning, if it weren't for the fact that he has had a friendship with Shen Youlong for many years, after returning to Shen Youlong, he would have to leave.

Now Lin Cha wants Shen Youlong to arrest Li Zhaoji and replace him, but Zhao Wenji can't accept it.

Song Bao looked at Shen Youlong's face and said boldly: "Master, the little one has a way, that is, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Shen Youlong looked at Song Bao and said, "What can you do....... But now he has no choice but to say, "Forget it, you can talk about it." ”

Song Bao smiled and said: "The pirates want to arrest Li Zhaoji, and you want to use Li Zhaoji, Li Zhaoji also wants to cooperate with the imperial court, so he simply pushed this problem to Li Zhaoji and let him solve it." ”

"Li Zhaoji ......." Shen Youlong smacked the name, counted the days, and said in his heart that he was going to meet at the agreed Hongbin Building, maybe he could really ask Li Zhaoji about this matter.
