Chapter 174: Father-in-law

Soon, he was taken to a tall room.

The room was bright, with the afterglow of the setting sun laying out on the floor, and four-legged chairs on either side. Some of the pirates sat in their seats, enjoying their tea, and watched him come in.

Lin Haoran guessed that these were important figures of the pirates at a glance, but his eyes fell on the bearded man sitting in the hall, and he had a bit of the might of the king of the mountain.

The man was in his early forties, dark-skinned, very stocky, with a full beard and the usual coarse cloth, but his face did not look angry. He was playing with a jade plaque in his hand, which was the peace charm that the tiger girl had given him.

When he saw this jade plaque, he instantly thought of a lot of things, and also solved some mysteries. If I guessed correctly, the owner's daughter turned out to be Oiran Mulan.

Tie Wenliang's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Lin Haoran who walked in and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Guangdong Xie Yuan Lin Haoran!" Lin Haoran arched his hand towards him, revealing his proud identity.

The entire lobby suddenly exploded, and they all re-examined Lin Haoran in surprise. No one thought that this young scholar turned out to be Xie Yuanlang, a reserve official of the Ming Dynasty.

They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, how do they not know what Xie Yuan represents, and what the officials represent. Now looking at Lin Haoran, his eyes are full of shock, but also with a touch of deep envy.

"Do you have a certificate?" Tie Wenliang was calm, and asked him sternly.

"What you have in your hands...... It's the best credential! Lin Haoran arched his hand and smiled confidently.

Tie Wenliang looked down at the jade card in his hand, nodded slightly, but looked at him sternly and said, "Lin Haoran? No wonder the name is so familiar, it turns out that you are the scholar who wrote bullshit words to my daughter, but how did you get here? ”

This question puzzled everyone present, and they all looked at Lin Haoran one after another.

Lin Haoran hesitated for a moment, but still told the story of taking a military ship to the test and encountering a pirate attack on the way. However, the plot of the discovery of the conspiracy is hidden, and it is only said that after seeing the fire in the cabin, he jumped into the sea to escape, and then drifted to the island.

"Pirates attacking the Great Ming Marine?"

Everyone originally came to join in the fun, wanting to see what the captain's son-in-law looked like, but after hearing the news, they all looked at Lin Haoran in shock.

Although the strength of the Daming Water Division has been greatly reduced, its combat effectiveness is still very fierce. If they are really angry, I am afraid that this sea will not be idle, and their lives will not be easy.

All along, even the most rampant of the Japanese invaders have targeted civilians. If the Daming Sailor came to encircle and suppress, he only chose to passively counterattack, but he never fought hard.

Now that there is a pirate gang taking the initiative to attack the Daming Sailor, this matter will inevitably anger the Daming Sailor, and this area is afraid that it will not be peaceful, and they are very likely to be affected.

Tie Wenliang stared at Lin Haoran, if ordinary people told him, he would only listen to it as a joke. It's just that now that it came out of Lin Haoran's mouth, he couldn't help but believe it a little, not to mention that this also reasonably explains why this Xie Yuanlang appeared here.

It's just that he did things very carefully, carefully observing his facial expression, and asked solemnly: "What you said is true?" ”

"It's true!" Lin Haoran met everyone's eyes and replied very calmly.

Airplanes!

The whole lobby immediately exploded, and they talked about it one after another.

They are not the same as the other pirate gangs, and the other pirate gangs are all singles. If the Ming sailors come to encircle and suppress, they will flee, and in this vast sea, it is extremely easy to escape.

It's just that now, they use this island as a base, and once the Daming Naval Division comes to encircle and suppress, they can only fight passively. If a small group of sailors is fine, if a large number of sailors attack, how can they withstand it?

A bald man sitting on the left realized the seriousness of the problem and asked in a deep voice, "Who did this?" ”

"Who else dares to be so rampant, it must be Xu Liang, the mad dog brought out by Xu Hai. I used to wonder how they were so honest lately, and they were going to do this big ticket! A one-eyed dragon next to him slapped his palm on the table and gritted his teeth hatefully.

"He took the initiative to attack the Great Ming Water Master, what good would it do him?" The bald man asked, puzzled.

As soon as these words came out, the entire lobby was quiet. However, it cannot be said that the Ming sailors have no property, but compared to those smuggled merchant ships or coastal towns, the risks and benefits here do not match.

The Daming Sailors are all sturdy soldiers, and they definitely kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, even if it is the former madman Xu Hai, he will not do such a stupid thing.

"In my opinion, he wants to prevent the old shipowner from accepting the court's recruitment, if the old shipowner takes over the court's good work, can he still have his Xu Liang's life?" A man with white eyebrows said in a deep voice.

With the imperial court attaching great importance to the plague, it not only sent a large number of strong men to come, but also dispatched a large number of materials, and the coastal defense strength of Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions was greatly enhanced, and large pirate gangs began to recruit security.

After destroying Xu Hai last year, Wu Zongxian sent an envoy to Japan and offered the old shipowner attractive terms. not only agreed to the old shipowner's request to open the sea ban, but also gave him an official title.

It was precisely because of this that the old shipowner had already written to them to settle down, and personally led 3,000 of his subordinates from Japan to accept Wu Zongxian's surrender and accept the reward from the imperial court.

But now, Xu Liang has provoked the anger of the Daming Water Master, undoubtedly wanting to muddy the water. It is very likely that the meeting between these old ship owners and Wu Zongxian will be affected, and even the friendly talks will be ruined.

"So what are we going to do now?" The bald man frowned, with a sad face.

The others also looked up at Tie Wenliang, but Tie Tie Wenliang looked at the old man who didn't say a word in the hall, and asked him respectfully, "Strategist, what should we do?" ”

"Arrest the people on their side and hand them over to the Daming Water Master to clear our suspicions!" The old man said leisurely.

"Okay, let's do it!" Tie Wenliang made a decision and agreed to this plan.

He actually hoped that the old shipowner would accept the conditions of the imperial court and become an official of the Ming Dynasty. Then, as a subordinate of the old ship owner, he can not only clear his identity, but also return to the happy life of trading in the past, and earn a lot of silver from Japan.

Now that things have taken a turn and turn, he naturally can't sit idly by.

After Lin Haoran was brought in and asked a few words, he was put aside, and then saw that Tie Wenliang was about to take someone away, so he hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has to rush to the exam, and please send someone to send me back to the shore!" ”

"I'll talk about it when I get back!" Tie Wenliang didn't agree to his request, gave him a faint look, and then strode away.

“…… I'm in a hurry! Lin Haoran's hand was raised, but the person had already walked away.

Because of the aura of his son-in-law, the treatment he enjoys has suddenly improved. Not only did he have a sumptuous meal, but he also arranged a nice place to live, but there was no beauty to warm the bed.
