After the beating, His Royal Highness the King of Chu asked without anyone in his eyes: "Now learn to speak politely to this king, right?" ”

"Phew!" Chen Shanghai took a sip and spat out a bloody tooth.

"Well, it's still a tough one." The king of Chu couldn't see it but heard it, and said with a smile: "This king likes tough guys." In this way, as long as you answer me a question, this king will set you free. How is it? ”

"What's the problem?" Chen Shanghai asked coldly.

"Who ordered you to attack this king?" Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Normally, one million taels of gold is enough to make you obey the rules." ”

"......" The corners of Chen Shanghai's mouth twitched, and he said in a muffled voice: "But no amount of money can buy back my father's life and my eldest brother's life!" ”

"Who's your father?" The sixth asked curiously.

"Don't ask knowingly!" Chen Shanghai said angrily.

Yu Tongyuan, who was on the side, hurriedly explained to His Royal Highness: "His father is Chen Youding, and his eldest brother Chen Zonghai are all warlords at the end of the Yuan Dynasty......"

"My father and brother are loyal to the country, and they will not disgrace their ministers until they die!" Hearing this, Chen Shanghai said proudly: "It's a hundred times stronger than your father's rebels and impermanence!" Bah! ”

Zhu Zhen suddenly knew that Chen Youding still knew. In the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, this eldest brother can be described as unique, obviously a Han from the south, but he became a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and he forgot his ancestors. and Yuanren Bai Timur, Dieri Mishi and called 'honey three knives'...... Oh no, 'Min Sanzhong'.

From the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng period, the 'Liukou' rose everywhere, Chen Youding should be edicted to enter the Shi Yuan Dynasty, recruit group training, because of the meritorious work of the thief, gradually promoted, occupy eight counties in Fujian.

After the rise of Boss Zhu, Chen Youding led the army to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang many times, and also killed Zhu Yuanzhang's general Hu Shen, and has always been the most diehard Baoyuan faction.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a large army to conquer Fujian, Chen Youding insisted on holding on, but the Ming army had become a trend that swept the world and could not be resisted. Chen You said goodbye to his subordinates: "The general trend has gone, I can only repay the country with death, and you will continue to work hard." ’

Then he retreated into the provincial hall, tidied up his clothes, and after two bows facing the north, he committed suicide by swallowing medicine. The soldiers of the department scrambled to open the city gate to accept the Ming army into the city.

After the Ming army entered the city, they found that he was still not dead, so they sent him to the capital with a flail. Chen Youding entered the palace to visit, and Zhu Yuanzhang accused him of 'ignoring current affairs and recognizing thieves as fathers'.

Chen Youding said sharply: 'The country is ruined and the family is ruined, if you want to kill, you will kill, there is no need to say much. Zhu Yuanzhang then executed him and his son Chen Hai, and both father and son died calmly and without fear. It's a very backbone traitor...... Of course, a traitor with backbone is still a traitor.

"You just praise your father, why do you want to scold my father?" Zhu Zhen was helpless, and let people beat Chen Shanghai again.

"Son of a bitch, my Chen family and the dog thief are incompatible!" Chen Shanghai was knocked out of another tooth, and he kept screaming and scolding. "How much money you give me, I'm going to kill you!"

"How do you know I'm on the boat?" Zhu Zhen raised his hand and signaled not to fight yet.

"......" Chen Shanghai's expression was obviously stunned, and he said in a muffled voice: "I just know." ”

"It seems that someone has leaked the news to you, and that person's status is not low." Zhu Zhen said lightly: "This king is secretly on the expedition, and if he is not at a certain level, he will not know about it at all." ”

"Your father and son are angry and resentful, and they have long since betrayed their relatives and left!" Chen Shanghai gloated and laughed: "You have to go back and check it out, you really can't get a big prison and arrest all the suspects, otherwise you won't be able to sleep peacefully." ”

"Alright, don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf here." Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "You are the same as your father, but you are just a dog fed by others." Oh, no. Your father is loyal to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, what the hell are you loyal to? If you think you are loyal to the Lord, people will sell you a long time ago! ”

"You talk nonsense!" Chen Shanghai snorted disdainfully.

"If you don't believe it," Zhu Zhen pointed around and said, "Facts speak louder than words, you listened to that man." took the opportunity to launch a shameless sneak attack on the king, but the whole army was wiped out, and the king's ten ships were safe and sound! You don't even think about why this is happening. ”

"That's because you put a lot of cannons on the ship, we haven't seen them before, and you are defenseless, so you suffered this big loss!" Chen Shanghai gritted his teeth and said.

"Haha, idiot, why don't you want to think, why didn't that man tell you this? We have planted so many cannons on the ship, and the movement is much more than the king's expedition. Zhu Zhen said conclusively: "It doesn't make sense, he only knows one and doesn't know the other." ”

"Hiss......" Chen Shanghai was really taken into the ditch, and the fierce light flashed in his single eye.

"So that person clearly wants to get rid of you by the hand of this king!" The sixth child helped the 'sunglasses' and said in a deep tone: "Although this king is also very happy to get rid of you, but the incident of being used as a gun makes me very angry!" ”

"......" Mr. Luo was stupid, didn't His Highness use his body as bait to induce the other party to make a move? The sixth child's mouth can say that the dead are alive. How is it different from that Cao thief?

"So, confess that person, and the king will avenge you." Lao Liuyi said solemnly: "And I will return your freedom, this deal is a good deal, right?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will make waves again?" Chen Shanghai asked loudly.

"Hahaha!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu replied with a disdainful laugh.

"Yes, you'd rather smile at the seagulls on the railing than look at me." Chen Shanghai said to himself: "It seems that I am not as good as a bird in your eyes." ”

"......" The corners of Lao Liu's mouth twitched slightly, and he realized that he was talking and talking, and his face was off track. But he was accustomed to pretending, and continued to say to the bird: "The bird is free, and you are the captive of this king, so you are really not as good as a bird." ”

"Niang ......" Chen Shanghai was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"You think about it," Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Before returning to Beijing, give this king a reply, and my promises will be counted." ”

The guards took Chen Shanghai down to the cell at the bottom of the bilge; And the seagull on the railing spread its wings and flew into the free sky.

'I'm really not as good as a bird'......' Chen Shanghai took one last look, and the sky where the seagulls flew was cut off from light by the hatch.

~~

After Chen Shanghai's trial, His Royal Highness the King of Chu asked Mr. Luo to stare outside on the grounds of seasickness, and hid in the cabin without showing up. Anyway, the follow-up matters have already been arranged, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Later in the evening, Luo Guanzhong came in and reported that all the gold handed over to the Haikou had been recovered, not only one million taels and one tael, but also more than 200,000 taels of gold, silver, copper coins, jewels and jade from the captured pirate ship.

Wang Dayuan knew this very well, and explained that it was because the Haikou did not trust each other. Therefore, unless the nest has its own family, when going to sea, it is customary to carry the fine soft with him to avoid being stolen.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu rubbed his eyes with an egg, and said with emotion: "That's really rich......"

"Yes, after deducting the casualty pension and the reward for the soldiers, the remaining money is enough for His Highness to return to his capital." Mr. Luo's accounts are very good, and all the costs of buying ships and making cannons are in his heart.

"That's right, but you have to improve your thinking. How can anyone spend their own money to do business? Isn't it fragrant to spend someone else's money? Zhu Zhen laughed.

"......" Mr. Luo easily resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Then he reported: "In addition, the lair of the two pirates has been interrogated from the mouths of the captives. ”
