Dogs bite dogs.

The Japanese are not the official army of the Japanese state. However, the real widows of the large shares usually had the secret support of the feudal lords and daimyos.

For example, Higashihachiro had the support of the Satsuma clan.

And the Kyushu Domain, again, has always been at odds with the Satsuma Domain.

While returning to the kennel of the Satsuma Domain by boat, Higashihachiro encountered the fleet of the Kyushu Domain at sea.

After a fierce battle, Higashihachiro abandoned the ship and fled. His ship was captured by the Kyushu Domain. The Poseidon Pearl was also robbed by the Kyushu Domain.

The lord of the Kyushu domain dedicated the Umi God Pearl to the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

Higashihachiro was furious. Poison vows to recapture the Poseidon Pearl.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa obtained the Sea God Pearl, handed it over to the Japanese envoy, and took it to the Ming Dynasty. The envoy is clever and wants to trade privately and exchange more goods.

This matter was learned by Chang Feng, who detained the Sea God Pearl and dedicated it to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered Changfeng to carry the sea god bead to pay tribute to Mazu.

After going around, the sea god pearls collected by Chinese pearl divers were finally used to pay tribute to the Chinese gods.

This is a good result.

However, one man was not happy! This person is Higashi-Yoshihachiro.

I grabbed the beads, and they are mine! I have to take it back! Robber logic has always been like this.

Chang Feng and these Qin sent to Hangzhou, and the Hangzhou officials all knew that the imperial court was going to use the sea god bead to pay tribute to Mazu.

It's no secret. Soon spread throughout the city of Hangzhou.

There are real Japanese people in the city of Hangzhou. Higashihachiro also knew about it.

As a result, Higashihachiro found the vast Four Seas Society. Ask the Four Seas Society to provide him with the southbound route of the Qincha team to help him recapture the Sea God Pearl.

Originally, the Four Seas Association had a bottom line, and when it came to Qincha, they didn't dare to help Higashi Hachiro.

Higashihachiro has been looting along the coast for more than ten years, and it can be regarded as half of the Ming Dynasty. Those officials and gentry who know the Ming Dynasty.

He told the Four Seas, "If you don't help me. I'll compile a list of who has helped transport smuggled goods over the years and hand it over to the Ming Court!"

"When the time comes, we will shoot and scatter! What the Ming Court does with you will not do my business."

At the hands of the Four Seas Society are the eight elders. The elders had no choice but to provide Toyoshihachiro with a southbound route for Chang Feng and the others.

And let the members of the Four Seas Association in the Zhejiang Navy Division go with the ship, looking for an opportunity to help Higashi Hachiro get back the Poseidon Pearl.

On the city wall, Chang Feng's interrogation of Zhao Sanhu ended.

Xu Fatzi gasped on the side: "If this matter is made public, the emperor will have to issue an order to clean up this Raushzi Four Seas Association."

"I'm afraid there are more people to be killed in this case than the Lan Yu case of the Hongwu Dynasty!"

Chang Feng said, "Yes. I really didn't expect that the gentry of all sizes in the southeast and a large number of magistrates were involved in smuggling! The civil servants in Kyori were also implicated in this matter."

"No wonder those civil officials shouted at every turn, and it was the ancestral system to seal the customs and forbid the sea. You can't shake it!"

"It turns out that they can gain huge benefits from the closure and confinement of the sea."

Xu Fatzi said, "Master Chang, what should I do about this? I'm fat, but I'm not stupid. If you shake this matter out, the officials and gentry of the whole southeast will regard you as an enemy."

Chang Feng did not answer. Instead, he asked Zhao Sanhu, "You just said that there will be eight elders in the four seas?" Who is it?"

Zhao Sanhu said, "The status of the elder is noble. How do I know how to know a little quack like me."

"The hall master of the Hangzhou branch one level above me should know."

Chang Feng asked, "Who is the hall master on the first floor above you?"

Zhao Sanhu replied: "The head of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, Ma Youlu."

Chang Feng exclaimed, "Fatty, it's so dangerous. We are fortunate to have confiscated the silver sent by Ma Youlu. Otherwise, we'll get on their thief ship!"

Xu Fatzi said, "No wonder Ma Youlu is so generous. It turned out that he wanted to plug our mouths with silver, so that we would turn a blind eye to the rampant Japanese pirates in the southeast."

Chang Feng said, "Yes, that's right. You take Zhao Sanhu down first, so that he can take care of it."

Chang Feng sat on the edge of the city wall, carefully considering the stakes of this matter.

Such a big case, if it is made public. The emperor has to raise a big prison. It is likely that he will be sent to take charge of the case.

Xu Fatzi was right just now, once this earth-shattering case is investigated, I am afraid that the number of people killed will not be less than the Lan Yu case.

At the beginning, Grandpa Tai reused Mao Xiang, the first commander of Jinyiwei, to investigate and handle the Lanyu case and kill more than 15,000 people.

In the end, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked.

In order to appease the dissatisfaction of the people in the world, the grandfather put Mao Xiang to death.

The murderous dagger, after it was used up, was discarded by successive emperors.

It's the same with my Changfeng. If the case of the Four Seas Society is investigated, kill him cleanly. At that point, I will be the target of public criticism.

A bunch of officials, the southeastern gentry, will see me as a thorn in the flesh.

Will I still be alive then?

What to do? If you don't know about this, after paying tribute to Mazu in five rows and tens, you will return to Beijing calmly?

But this is sorry for the people on the coast who were slaughtered by the Japanese pirates. I'm sorry for the robes that Yongningwei died in battle today.

Chang Feng was caught in a dilemma.

He was a decent man at heart.

Getting along with Huai En and Ma Wensheng made him decide to be a loyal minister.

is timid and afraid, and tolerates his adopted daughter, that is not the work of loyal ministers.

Chang Feng made a decision. Inform Yang Tinghe, Li Guang and others of this matter.

One envoy and five deputy envoys will make a decision together. Everyone bears the consequences.

It's a very chicken thief's choice.

Night. Chang Feng said that there was something important and discussed it with Yang Ting and them.

They went into a room. Chang Feng instructed You Tianjue to send someone to strictly guard the room and not let anyone in.

Chang Feng said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a big case on the southeast coast. Fat Xu, you read Zhao Sanhu's confession to everyone."

Xu Fatzi picked up the confession and read it carefully.

After reading it, Yang Tinghe didn't say a word.

Li Guang reacted violently. He shouted, "This is a female climbing around! The southeast is the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, the southeast of the emperor."

"I don't believe it, more than half of the gentry and officials in the southeast are all in the same place!"

"This must be the dog jumping over the wall and biting people after the female cadre was caught."

"How can such an unsubstantiated thing be made public?"

"In my opinion, take that woman's dry and correct the Fa on the spot! This confession is burned!"

"We participated in the Battle of Yongning, repelled the Japanese and kept the Sea God Pearl. It's a great achievement."

"After sacrificing Mazu. Let's go back to Beijing to get rewarded. Why bother with more trouble?"

Li Guang took the silver presented by Ma Youlu, the head of the Chamber of Commerce. He was afraid that Ma Youlu would be convicted, and he would also be implicated. Therefore, he expressed his stance to calm things down.

Chang Feng said, "Hmm. What Gonggong Li means is that we should not know about the Four Seas Society. What about Director Yang? What do you think?"

Yang Tinghe spoke. His opinion was greatly unexpected.

Yang Tinghe said, "I have the same meaning as Gonggong Li. It's better to settle things down."

"Still. The reason why I advocate peace of mind. It's a little different from Gonggong Li."
