On the way back, Zhang Huanggai's attitude towards Lu Huai was obviously a lot more deferential.

It wasn't until the ship entered the sea that it had been floating for about a day and night, and Lu Huai felt that the ship had sailed into a ship port.

Although it is an island, it is no different from Daming City.

In addition to the goods being loaded and unloaded on the wharf, you can also see a lot of silk and satin shops, porcelain shops and other shops outside the wharf, which is very prosperous.

It's just that he hasn't waited for Lu Huai to speak.

Zhang Huanggai sensed that something was wrong on the island.

"Something is wrong on ...... island"

Before Zhang Huanggai finished speaking, the guard next to him pointed to a big boat on the dock and said excitedly: "Big brother, it's the big shopkeeper who is here." ”

Zhang Huanggai was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Quick, Mr. Lu, I'll introduce you later, my big shopkeeper has always been good at socializing with nobles like you."

Lu Huai frowned when he heard this.

"The big shopkeeper?"

Xu Dong and Li Guangtou are dead!

Where did the big shopkeeper come out of the sea?!

Zhang Huanggai didn't explain, and pulled Lu Huai to walk in while smiling: "Mr. Lu, I'll know when I meet you." ”

Under the leadership of Zhang Huanggai, Lu Huai was taken into a mansion on the island, saying that it was a house, but it was very well built, and the building was magnificent.

"My subordinate Zhang Huanggai has seen the big shopkeeper."

The man in the courtyard seemed to be deliberately waiting for Zhang Huanggai.

Lu Huai and Zhang Huanggai just appeared.

Laughter rang out in the hall.

"This is Mr. Ganquan's big disciple, right? Wufeng has heard Mr. Lu's name for a long time, and this is polite. ”

Lu Huai's eyebrows were raised, and he asked with a little surprise: "Shopkeeper Wang?!" ”

"It's Xiao Ke."

Wang Zhi bowed again, and Lu Huai hurriedly bowed his head.

"I've heard the name of Shopkeeper Wang for a long time, and I finally saw it today, but I didn't think that the shopkeeper actually teamed up with Shopkeeper Wang."

A few years ago, it was Wang Zhi who led people to kill the Xie family.

Lu Huai only thought that Wang Zhi had died with Xu Dong in Zouma Creek as early as the beginning of the year.

Unexpectedly, this Wang Zhi actually survived.

"Mr. Lu is tired of traveling, let's sit down first, come here, bring my good tea."

"Whoa."

The two maidservants retreated from their own accord.

Lu Huai just looked at Wang Zhi with some vigilance and said, "Does Shopkeeper Wang know why Lu came here this time?" ”

Wang Zhi took a sip of tea, bowed his head slightly, and said: "I have seen it roughly, and Wufeng is waiting here for this matter." ”

Without waiting for Wang Zhi to finish speaking, Lu Huai just stroked his palms and sighed.

"If I had known this earlier, I would not even be like this Meng Lang, and I would have asked Shopkeeper Wang to forgive me."

As he spoke, Lu Huai got up and bowed to Wang Zhiyi, making an "apology" gesture.

Wang Zhi looked at Lu Huai in surprise.

"...... this?"

Zhang Huanggai was also puzzled.

"Mr. Lu, you don't have Meng Lang, the experience we took in Songjiang was the happiest trip I have ever done in my life."

Wang Zhi's brows tightened.

"What's the matter with Matsue?"

Lu Huai also waved his hand and said: "If you don't mention it, it's all Lu and Meng Lang." ”

"It was Mr. Lu who took a few of us to rob the Huating granary, and the horse team of Huating didn't even chase after it."

"Mr. Lu said that this is called a fire dragon burning warehouse, and those state and county officials wish we would rob it like this in the future."

Lu Huai glanced at Wang Zhi with a slight expression, and Lu Huai deliberately told Wang Zhi when he said this.

It's too late for you to regret it now, the court already knows, and there is no turning back when you open the bow.

Lu Huai picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Lu has only heard a little mention from his colleagues, and he can't be on the stage." ”

Wang Zhi's complexion changed slightly.

After a long time, he spoke again: "What Mr. Lu said, no matter who took this job, as long as we took it, we will be entrusted by others, and we will be loyal to people, which is the rule in ancient times." ”

Hearing Wang Zhi say this, Lu Huai's originally hanging heart was relaxed.

"What Wufeng means is that Wufeng has made some good things at sea, which can just help Mr. Lu."

Wang Zhi glanced at Lu Huai mysteriously.

Lu Huai also looked at Wang Zhi with great interest.

"What do you mean by this?"

Wang Zhi smiled, then got up and waved his hand behind him.

"Go get those guns."

"Whoa."

After that, Wang Zhi stretched out his hand to Lu Huai in the courtyard: "Mr. Lu, please." ”

"Then Lu Mou is disrespectful."

Lu Huai followed Wang Yuan and walked towards the backyard, until he walked into the backyard, and Lu Huai saw that on a high platform in several rockeries behind the mansion, two black "cannons" were placed facing the sea in the distance.

Daming's firearms are mostly tiger squat cannons.

The largest firearm is the so-called "Great General Cannon".

It's just that these general's cannons are also old things from the Yongle period, and they have not been improved for more than a hundred years.

Around the cannon, there were more than a dozen wooden crates.

Wang Yuanzi winked at the two gunners.

"Take a look at Mr. Lu, and go far."

"Whoa!"

The two gunners immediately loaded the gun with ammunition and lit the fuse behind the gun after correcting it.

"Boom!" A loud bang came, and I saw that the projectile of the cannonball roared away in the distance, and it was smashed out of a distance of nearly ten miles.

At present, the general's cannon with the farthest range on the nine sides is only two or three miles in one shot.

Looking at Lu Huai, who was stunned, Wang Zhi smiled and introduced: "This thing was purchased by Wufeng from the hands of the Hongmao merchant of the Buddha Machine, according to Mr. Lu's opinion, how is it compared to the Shenji Battalion?" ”

Lu Huai was already stunned in place.

"Artifact...... Fruit artifact! This thing should be the most important weapon of the country! ”

Looking at Lu Huai, who was suppressed, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Zhi's mouth.

"Then Wufeng will send someone to load the ship, and go out of Mr. Lu's trip first!"

Lu Huai was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Is this true?"

"Naturally!"

Watching boxes of gunpowder being carried by a few sailors to Zhang Huanggai's ship, Lu Huai's already beautiful snot was about to bubble.

"Lu Mou is my teacher, thank you for the shopkeeper!"

"This will not be called thank you, Wufeng has also prepared good wine, just wait for Mr. Lu!"

Wang Zhi pulled Lu Huai and walked straight towards the side hall.

Lu Huai is a scholar, where have you drunk these floating on the sea all day long.

After three or two glasses of wine, Lu Huai was already blushing and hugging the bench to write poems to help the fun.

And Wang Zhi also left the wine hall at this time.

Soon after Wang Zhi left the table, one of the men ran out of the house quickly, and led the sailors to carry down the several gunpowder boxes that had just been loaded on the ship, and replaced them with a batch of boxes.

In the next few days, Lu Huai was dragged by Wang Zhi's subordinates day and night to drink and name his children.

The whole person is almost never awake.

It wasn't until three days later that Lu Huai climbed back onto the boat with the support of Zhang Huanggai.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I estimate that the news of Huating County has almost spread, and the matter is ...... Without further ado, after the matter is completed, I will come to the island again and find Shopkeeper Wang to eat and drink with you. ”

Wang Zhi, who was drunk and hazy, patted Lu Huai's shoulder and said loudly: "Big brother! You're laughing! We're all already married! From now on, you and I will be brothers! I'm in Ligang, and I'm with Brother Lu at any time! ”

Lu Huai then set sail and headed for Songjiang.

Just as Zhang Huanggai's ship sailed away from Ligang.

The smell of wine on Wang Zhi's body suddenly emptied.

"Wake up Four Creeks!"

"Whoa!"

Sixi is Fang Tingzhu's table, and Lu Huai's list was also received by Fang Tingzhu.

Two barrels of salty seawater poured on Fang Tingzhu's face, and Fang Tingzhu's wine also woke up.

"Sixi, have you forgotten the rules we set when we were partnering?!"

After waking up, Fang Tingzhu, who was drenched in seawater and sticky, struggled to stand up, but was held down by the person behind him.

"Big shopkeeper, isn't this a normal order? Besides, that's Mr. Ganquan's protégé, up and down the government and the opposition, how many arms to help! ”

"Didn't I send Haifeng to pass the word last month?! The opening of the sea in the imperial court is imminent, don't follow those people anymore! Does anyone recognize me as the big treasurer? ”

Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Fang Tingzhu couldn't help but turn pale.

"The Great Shopkeeper! Do you really think that the imperial court can control the maritime affairs of the southeast? How could this sea be opened by the imperial court?! ”

"Wake up! Without those gentlemen, this sea would not have been able to open in my life! We, brothers, will have to deal with these nobles in the future! ”

Wang Zhi seemed to have expected Fang Tingzhu's reply.

Xu Dong had just died, and Wang Zhi had just taken advantage of the leaderlessness of the dragons to piece together these forces on the sea.

After all, it is not completely digested, and these people cannot be convinced.

Wang Zhi didn't defend either, but just commanded in a low voice with a gloomy face: "According to the rules, ten lashes." ”

Fang Tingzhu was stunned when he heard this.

"Wang Zhi! Do you dare to beat Lao Tzu?! On weekdays, I look at your age and call you a big shopkeeper......"

Without waiting for Fang Tingzhu to finish speaking, Wang Zhi suddenly opened his mouth and scolded angrily: "Ten whips! Deaf?! ”

At present, Tingzhu was surrounded by Wang Zhi's people, and after a while, Fang Tingzhu was pressed to the ground and was really whipped ten times.

Only Wang Zhi's righteous son, Wang Cao, looked at Wang Zhi a little unseatedly and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, this Fang Sixi is highly respected, is it too much for us to fight like this?" ”

"There are no rules, there is no circle, do you want to be a bandit at sea for the rest of your life?!"

The whip dipped in seawater whipped Fang Tingzhu's body.

Fang Tingzhu's scolding also did not stop for a long time.

Wang Zhi only looked at Zhang Huanggai's sails that were drifting away, and said: "Lu Rude, Lu Rude, if you are not kind, then you will be unjust." ”

"You sent it yourself."

Wang Wei, who was standing on the side, looked at Wang Zhi with a puzzled expression.

What do you mean by that? That Fang Tingzhu is not easy to get along with, if we humiliate him like this, I am afraid that the island will not be able to live in peace again. ”

Wang Zhi didn't answer Wang Cao's words directly, but just asked, "Haifeng, do you know what kind of people in this world are the most likely to die?" ”

"Fang Tingzhu is such a reckless man?"

Wang Zhi shook his head.

"It is not easy to die if you are reckless to the extreme, and it is not easy for the most intelligent people to die."

"Those who think they are the most intelligent are the most likely to die!"
