A few days later, King Luo Yin suddenly called Du Buyi and others to a side hall and said to a few people:

"You use the ice Gu to treat Min'er, this king has already considered it, and this king has also found a suitable master, so there is no need to trouble you anymore!"

Du Bucheng and a few people naturally understood in their hearts, so they said:

"Okay, since that's the case, then we have to go back to the Central Plains, after all, we've been out for too long, and we miss the Central Plains Daming very much!"

Luo Yin then ordered someone to take a stack of letters, handed them to Du Wuyi, and said:

"This is our reply letter from the neighboring states, they have already agreed to trade with your friend Wang Zhi in the face of this king, you return the letter to Wang Zhi, and let him take out these letters directly when the merchant ships come, and trade freely in the countries of the South Seas!"

Then he slowed down for a moment and said:

"However, recently, all the countries in the South Seas near us have been harassed by some golden retriever devils, although they have all repelled the golden retriever devils, but those golden retriever devil strongholds are all over the South Seas, and the safety of this merchant ship cannot be guaranteed by our states!"

Du did not forget to smile and said:

"Then thank you, the king, this safety matter is fine, my friend's subordinates are all trained samurai, don't be afraid of these golden retrievers!"

Du Bu Bu took the three daughters to say goodbye to Chi Yi and Min'er again, and then returned to the boat, at this time Du Bu Bu suddenly remembered his apprentice Zhang Songxi, so he asked the boatman:

"Why don't you see my apprentice Zhang Gongzi?"

The boatman replied:

"Zhang Gongzi is a little in a hurry, he has already returned to the Central Plains, he has a letter for Du Gongzi to leave you!"

Then a letter came out of the cabin, and it was written:

Master and a few aunts, when you read this letter, I should have already returned to the Central Plains, I want to go to Guangzhou Fucheng first, visit one of my uncles, and we will see you in Xiangyang in half a year.

Du did not forget to read the letter, and said to himself:

"My apprentice has good roots, worship me as a teacher, I really haven't taught it martial arts well, I was about to teach it on the boat when I went back, but I didn't expect to be in a hurry to go back to the Central Plains!"

Feng Niang then said:

"He's a bit like you, he can't let go of things in his heart, there should be something big, so he is in a hurry to leave, anyway, we are also on the way, it is better to go directly to Guangzhou Mansion!"

Du did not forget to ask:

"You don't want to go back to Penghu?"

Feng Niang says:

"What can we do when we go back? We are tired of the sea now, so we should hurry back to Canton as soon as possible, and then we will ride north. ”

White Lotus also said at this time:

"I really want to ride a horse, and when the time comes, we must ride a horse to try the feeling of going from Guangzhou Mansion to Dengzhou Mansion!"

Duan Xian'er said with a smile:

"Don't you know that it rains in the south?

Then he looked at the White Lotus and said with a smile:

"Sister Ling'er, have you forgotten the embarrassment of drinking coconut water and wetting your clothes last time?"

The White Lotus immediately clenched her fists, glanced at Xian'er, and said:

"Sister Xian'er, you actually make fun of me, see if I don't beat you!"

The two girls chased after each other on the boat.

A few days later, Du Buyi and the others finally returned to the Central Plains Road after a long absence, and landed in the largest port city in the south.

Due to the tribute, the Ming Dynasty closed out of Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou all foreign trade ports, and Mingzhou, Quanzhou due to the geographical location of the proximity to the place of the rebellion of the sea, and far away from the countries of the South Seas, at this time the trade has been much worse than before, and Guangzhou has already become the largest foreign trade place of the Ming Dynasty.

After a few people went ashore, they naturally encountered some foreign merchants dressed in foreign services.

At this time, the white lotus was walking behind, and just saw a group of blonde and blue-eyed merchants holding ivory and hanging a large amount of gold jewelry on their chests passing by, and couldn't help but think of what happened to Dongfan Island, and couldn't help but feel resentful, so they took advantage of the fact that these blonde people were not paying attention, grabbed the ivory in the hand of one of them and ran.

The merchant who had been robbed of his ivory immediately shouted to his surroundings:

"There are thieves...... There are thieves...... Catch the thief!"

Then he took his men and chased after him.

At this time, Du Buyi, Feng Niang, and Duan Xian'er were curious about who this thief was.

Suddenly, the White Lotus came through the crowd, returned to Du Buzhi's side, and said with a smile:

"Do you know what just happened?"

Du did not forget and replied:

"A few golden retriever devils were robbed just now, isn't that what happened? Why didn't you see Ling'er just now?"

The White Lotus whispered to Du Buyi and the others:

"I was the one who robbed those golden retriever ivory just now!"

Du was taken aback, and immediately asked:

"You're so bold, don't you know how many people there are here? There are officers and soldiers nearby, aren't you afraid of being arrested?"

The White Lotus replied:

"I'm not a fool, just now when I stole ivory, I deliberately approved the beggar's clothes to rob it, no one will know that it was me!"

Feng Niang asked:

"What about the ivory you snatched, Sister Ling'er?"

The White Lotus replied:

"Ivory, I threw it into the river, I don't like this thing anyway!"

Feng Niang then said:

"What a waste of you, ivory is worth a lot, I heard that an ivory can be worth hundreds of taels of gold?"

White Lotus hurriedly asked Du Cheng again:

"Is what Sister Feng'er said true?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"It's true!"

The White Lotus immediately said:

"I didn't know it was so valuable, it couldn't be wasted, I had to get it back!"

Seeing that the White Lotus ran back to the riverside, Du Bucheng and a few people had to follow.

At this time, I saw that the White Lotus didn't know where to find a bamboo pole to find by the river, and after fiddling in the water for a while, he said to Du Bucheng who was walking a few people in a hurry:

"I just lost it here, why can't I find it?"

Du Bu Bu was about to come over to help the White Lotus, when suddenly a large group of catchers came around, and one of the leaders pointed at the White Lotus and said:

"Girl, what are you fishing here?"

The White Lotus glanced at the head catcher, stopped the bamboo pole in his hand, and said:

"I dropped a bracelet in the water, and I was just salvaging it?"

The head catcher smiled and asked:

"Girl, did you really drop your bracelet in the river?"

White Lotus replied with some anger:

"Yes, otherwise I lied to you about something!"

At this time, the head catcher took out a dripping ivory from behind him and said:

"Tell me honestly, are you salvaging this ivory?"

As soon as the white lotus was ivory, her expression changed, and she immediately eased up again, and said:

"Since the bracelet can't be salvaged, then I'll go!"

The head catcher immediately said to the White Lotus:

"Girl, don't be in a hurry to leave!"

The White Lotus walked up to Du Buzhi and asked the catcher:

"And what do you want?"

At this time, Du did not forget to whisper to the White Lotus and said:

"Look at you, you're in trouble again!"

The White Lotus replied:

"Since you're so scared, then let's go, don't worry about me!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Seriously?"

The White Lotus replied:

"Yes!"

Du did not forget to pull Feng Niang and Xian'er, and said:

"Since the White Girl let us go, then let's go!"

Xian'er asked:

"Isn't that right?"

Du did not forget and said:

"Then I'll follow the trend, you accompany her!"

So he pulled Feng Niang and said to the head catcher:

"This official, we don't know that girl, so let's go first!"

The head catcher replied:

"Since it doesn't matter to you, let's go!"

At this time, the White Lotus angrily scolded Du Yiyi:

"You damn Du Don't forget, you are so unkind!"

Du didn't forget to ignore the white lotus, pulled Feng Niang and left.

After a while, the blonde merchant with a group of subordinates also ran over, took the ivory from the head catcher, looked at it, and said:

"Yes, this is the ivory I just snatched, thank you for helping me get it back!"

Then he looked at the white lotus on the side, pointed at her and said:

"It's her...... It's her...... That's her...... She was the one who pretended to be a beggar and snatched the ivory from my hand!"

The head catcher then said to the white lotus:

"Girl, how else do you explain?"

White Lotus was still secretly scolding Du Cheng in her heart at this time, so she replied casually:

"What if I stole it, I just don't like these golden retrievers!"

The headcatcher immediately replied:

"Since you have recognized it yourself, let's take a trip to the yamen!"

White Lotus wanted to resist, but was stopped by Duan Xian'er on the side, and Duan Xian'er said:

"Bear with me, the people don't fight with the officials, even if you go to the yamen, it doesn't matter, you're just stealing things!"

White Lotus had to endure it and said to Duan Xian'er:

"Okay, it's still only Sister Xian'er, you are the best for me!"

So White Lotus and Duan Xian'er were arrested and taken to the nearby prefect's yamen.

After Du Bu Bu pulled Feng Niang to a place where no one was, Feng Niang stopped and asked Du Bu in confusion:

"How can you just leave your sister alone?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"I didn't say I didn't care about her, should we all be put in prison together?"

Feng Niang said:

"But you hurt my sister's heart too much, besides, even if you go to the yamen, this crime of stealing is just a fine of silver, what can you do?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"What you think is too simple, if you steal the things of our Central Plains people, you can naturally accompany some silver taels, but Ling'er is stealing things in the hands of foreign merchants, these foreign merchants will naturally not give up, they have much more gold and silver in their hands than us, in such an important place as Guangzhou, if a merchant is robbed, even the prefect does not dare to forgive it easily!"

Feng Niang asked:

"Then you mean that Sister Ling'er has caused a big disaster?"

Du Bu sighed and said:

"yes, so we'll have to figure out how to help her!"

Feng Niang then said:

"Then wouldn't it be okay for Ling'er to apologize to the golden retriever?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Ling'er's temper won't do it, besides, this golden retriever merchant may not accept it, we are thinking of other ways!"

Feng Niang then said:

"Brother Du, you are still a famous person now, can't you just go to the governors here and see if they have any problems?"

Du Cheng Cheng said:

"It's useless to find anyone, because this is a major matter related to the trade and reputation of the two countries, even my second brother has to think about it!"

Feng Niang smiled and said:

"You still admit that the emperor is your second brother, but people don't think you are the eldest brother. ”

Du Cheng said:

"You're still laughing, since I have married Zhu Houxi, no matter what happens in my heart, he has always been my second brother!"

Feng Niang then said:

"Well, I wasn't Xiao Ling'er's sister just now!"

Du Cheng Cheng said:

"Of course I do!"

Then he hesitated and said:

"We only have two choices now, one option is to rob Ling'er and Xian'er at night, and the other option is to let Ling'er apologize to the golden trader while the yamen has not yet been formally convicted, and ask the golden trader to agree. ”
