But in view of the fact that the government had gone back on his word several times before, he was a little hesitant when he came ashore. The old man swore a poisonous oath with the lives of the whole family to protect him, so he took him to see Hu Ruzhen. You should know what happened next......"

"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded and said softly: "It's a pity that Hu Ruzhen can't fulfill his promise at all, because the officials of the southeast department are all strongly opposed to lifting the sea ban." Governor Hu had no choice but to appease Wang Zhi on the one hand, and find a way to dredge the old ...... of Xiaoge As a result, the old pavilion had not been opened, and Wang Bengu had arrested Wang Zhi first. ”

"Not bad." Zhao Liben nodded, and after many years, he still lingered and said: "At that time, he went to the governor's yamen every day to ask about the progress, and Hu Ruzhen was so annoyed that he asked him to go to the West Lake to relax. Because I was in Hangzhou, Wang Zhi came with peace of mind, but I couldn't see anyone in the Yamen. When I heard the news, I realized that the patrol royal king Bengu had arrested him! ”

Today's Wang Shaozuka Zai was just a seventh-grade hairy boy who had just entered the officialdom at that time. But one of the major features of the official system of the Ming Dynasty is the following suppression - in the center, the six departments can be on an equal footing with the six bigwigs; In the local area, the seven-rank patrol according to the imperial history does not even give the face of the governor and governor, let alone a three-grade inspector.

Upon learning that Wang Zhi had been arrested, Hu Ruzhen was shocked and immediately issued a letter to the Office of the Inspector General and asked Wang Bengu to release him. I also tried my best to rescue him, but the stalemate lasted for a whole year, and the final result was that he and his son were sentenced to be executed on the basis of complication. ”

"Before I was sentenced, Wang Zhi asked to see me, and I cried and pleaded with him, but he didn't blame me for not keeping my promise. just smiled and said, today I know that those famous families of poetry and books are a hundred times more greedy than pirates who kill people without blinking an eye - he is a pirate who still looks forward to the opening of the sea by the imperial court and the government and the people, but those people hope that the sea will be banned forever, and they will monopolize his trade. If he dares to go ashore against their will to negotiate peace, naturally there is only one dead word waiting for him......"

Zhao Hao suddenly said when he heard this: "It turns out that Wang Bengu is also their person......"

"Of course. Otherwise, with Hu Ruzhen's status as the king of the southeast at that time, plus me, who was in charge of the name of a provincial criminal officer, how could I not be able to fight a small patrol? ”

Zhao Liben exhaled a breath of turbidity in a gloomy manner, and continued: "In exchange for forgiving the old man, Wang Zhi asked me to promise him one thing - to save the lives of the rest of his family. I went to Hu Ruzhen in the starry night and jointly interceded with him. As long as the men of Wang Zhi's family die, the female dependents don't care at all...... Originally, it was just a sentence of exile, so I happily pardoned them, which can be regarded as compensation for us. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hao already understood everything.

It turns out that the 'Wu' in Wu Ji is not the surname Wu, but the capitalization of the five of Wufeng.

"You must guess that your Grandma Ye is Wang Zhi's stepfamily. But she is actually just a maid serving Wang Zhi's mother, and it is the two of them who are released, and Xue Ying in infancy. Yes, Xue Ying's natal name is Wang Xueying, and I changed my husband's surname to Jiang. ”

"Wu Ji was not originally called Wu Ji, but Wang Ji, and it was also changed by the old man. Although the imperial court released them at that time, after Wang Zhi's death, there was a big rebellion, and it was impossible not to prevent someone from being angry with them. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded, and said in his heart that now the chaos is in the past, and no one will pursue Wu Ji's past, so the old man came out to pick peaches.

This is quite similar to Peach's 'wife and child'.

"Wu Kee was originally Wang Zhi's business on the shore, which was small and unobtrusive at the time, but in fact it was more like a tool for him to gather intelligence. When Wang Zhi's mother passed away, Xue Ying was only six years old, in order for your grandmother Ye to support Wu Ji, the old woman made the decision to let her marry Wang Zhi's tablet before she died...... Therefore, the old man did not stand up to Wang Zhi. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Haoxin said, there must be no excuses, look at how moisturized my Grandma Ye is now.

~~

After listening to the old man's story, Zhao Hao was still a little puzzled: "Even if Xue Ying is Wang Zhi's only descendant, what's the point?" ”

It won't awaken the bloodline or anything.

"I don't understand, it means a lot." Zhao Liben said triumphantly:

"First, although Wang Zhi has been dead for eight years, his old team still controls a part of the Thirty-six Islands. These people hated the wealthy clan in the southeast who killed Wang Zhi, and they were forced to cooperate with them only because of the situation, but privately sent people to greet Xue Ying regularly, hoping that she would one day take over her grandfather's inheritance. ”

"Second, the Japanese pay more attention to blood than us, and the Japanese emperors have become grandsons, and no one dares to replace them. Therefore, Xue Ying's identity, they will definitely admit it, at least they can open the door to convenience. ”

"Thirdly, God help me. There was infighting among the people in the southeast and nine, and now the Lu family has been removed, but they accidentally lost the all-important 'Seal of the Pure Sea King', do you know what that is? ”

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded.

"You know? How would you know? Zhao Liben couldn't believe it.

"Because that thing, by accident, fell into my hands."

Zhao Hao laughed.

"How is that possible?!" This time it was Zhao Liben's turn to be stunned.

When Zhao Hao entered Beijing last year, he met people from Shanghai who were chasing the Lu family; After entering Beijing, the house was stolen, and he found out the gold seal and the maritime account book from his luggage, and told the old man the original.

As for Zhao Shouzheng being taken to Shuntianfu for questioning later, Zhao Hao had already written to tell the old man. I was just worried that the secret would be leaked, so I didn't say much in the letter.

It took a long time for Zhao Liben to come back from the shock, grabbed his grandson's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Where are the account books?" ”

"Jot down key information, and set it on fire." Zhao Hao replied.

In Zhao Liben's opinion, his genius grandson must not forget it, so he asked with confidence: "What about Yin?" ”

"Hide it, grandpa wants to see it, I'll find a chance to bring it to you." Zhao Hao said again.

"No, take it, don't show it to anyone." Zhao Liben said categorically: "That's a priceless thing!" ”

"Is it that important?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but be taken aback.

"It's very important." Zhao Liben nodded heavily and said, "Do you know what happened to those eight families because they lost this golden seal?" ”

"The first day of the Lunar New Year. Someone in Xinbeiguan burned a batch of goods from Huzhou that were ready to be sent to Zhoushan. Hundreds of thousands of silks and hundreds of boats were burned, dozens of people died, and then ......there was chaos in the city," Zhao Liben sighed with a long sigh:

"At sea, the jungle is the strong, and there are many fleets of all sizes. Every contract is the result of countless battles, often lasting for years, and no one can afford to spend it. So as a last resort, everyone still expects that it can be recovered. ”

After speaking, he looked at his grandson with blazing eyes and said, "You understand what I mean now, right?!" ”

"Grandpa wants to fill in the empty space of the Lu family and become the ninth?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but gasp, the old man's appetite is really not small!

"Why not? Just because the eight of them can have a fleet at sea and a territory overseas, don't we have the same Zhao family?! Zhao Liben raised his eyebrows and sneered: "What's the matter, is the good grandson afraid?" You are the one who even dares to smash Xu Ge's field! Don't be as good as grandpa an old man! ”

"Why don't you dare?!" Zhao Hao said angrily: "I had already made up my mind to meet them!" ”

"Okay, it's my grandson!" Zhao Liben was overjoyed when he heard this.
