Chapter 174: The Thirty-Six Surnames of the Ryukyus (Second Watch)

Chen Xinggui immediately told Lin Yanchao what had happened. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Xinggui said: "Brother Yanchao, do you know that in August this year, when the Haiphong Governor and Capture Hall led the navy to patrol the sea by building a ship to prepare for the Japanese, several Japanese ships were found in the north of Xiyang Island. Then the sailors of the Haiphong Pavilion attacked it, and won a big victory. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "I have heard, I was still in the hospital at that time, and a few days later, a notice was issued by the government of Mancheng saying that the navy had won a great victory, killing hundreds of Japanese criminals, capturing more than 30 prisoners, and capturing a ship with a large number of Japanese knives and materials, which was a rare victory in recent years. On the tower of the south gate, there are still dozens of heads. Just ......"

"Just what?" Chen Xinggui asked.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "It's just that I am a little strange about this matter, the drills of the Haiphong Supervision and Capture Hall are far inferior to the officers and soldiers of Shuizhai, and they are okay on weekdays, but they have never heard of any great ability to defend against the sea and prepare for the Japanese, how dare they fight with the Japanese Naval Army at sea?" ”

Chen Xinggui patted his leg and said: "Brother Yanchao really understands people, in a word, where does the Haiphong Governor's Capture Hall dare to fight the real Japanese robbers, in fact, those people are not the Japanese robbers, but the Ryukyu boat people!" Hmph, this is a good killing! ”

"Ryukyu boat people? Killing good and risking merit? Lin Yanchao asked, "Why did the Ryukyu boat people's ship appear here?" ”

Chen Xinggui said: "Brother Yanchao, these Ryukyu boat people didn't go to Xiyang Island originally, but they just happened to drift here due to the wind rudder. At that time, there were several Ryukyu ships on the sea, and although one was captured, the rest escaped. Among the Ryukyu boat people on the ship, there happened to be members of my Chen family, so they sent someone to find our Chen family and ask us to ask for help. ”

"Chen family in-laws?"

Lin Yanchao was surprised: "There are still our Fujian people among the Ryukyu people? ”

Chen Xinggui said: "Yes, in order to facilitate the passage of Ryukyu tribute ships, the Son of Heaven in Hongwu moved 36 surnames of boatmen from Fujian to Ryukyu to build tribute ships for the Ryukyu Kingdom. Later, the king of the Ryukyus admired my Huafeng and let them intermarry with the royal family, and most of the 36 people with the surname were in important positions in the Ryukyu royal family! ”

"And the surname Chen among the thirty-six surnames comes from our Chen family, and my surname Chen is in the Ryukyu Palace, and the official is in the third division. Those people in the Ryukyus come to my hometown of Changle every two years to pay tribute to their ancestors, so the two sides have never broken off, and now that they have an accident on the sea, how can we sit idly by? ”

Lin Yanchao suddenly said: "I see, the two families still have such a relationship. ”

Chen Xinggui nodded, and said sadly: "So after the person who reported the news told us about this, the patriarchs and old people in the family were shocked, not to mention that there were people surnamed Chen who were detained." Even if you don't have it, you can't sit idly by, this is more than 30 lives. So please believe me this time, that it was indeed the Ryukyu boatmen, not the Japanese who were on board. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Brother Chen, don't be excited, since that's the case, I'll see what I can help!" ”

South Park of the South of the City. Two sedan chairs go straight into the park.

Lin Yanchao stepped down from the sedan chair, and in front of him was a gorgeous house. The house was surrounded by several well-dressed servants.

Chen Xinggui knocked on the door in front of the house, and soon the door opened.

Chen Zhenlong arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Lin Xian." Finally you've been waiting for you. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Brother Lao Chen has been waiting for a long time. ”

He saw Chen Zhenlong wearing a moon-white shirt, although this person was a businessman. But it is also a talent in the Jiajing period, and the students of Changle County School are qualified to wear this shirt. Of course, for a big businessman like him, Xiucai's identity is just an umbrella.

Lin Yanchao and Chen Xinggui entered together, but they saw that in addition to Chen Zhenlong, there was also an old man smoking dry cigarettes.

Chen Zhenlong said: "This is the elder of my family. ”

"Uncle Chen!" Lin Yanchao said at the moment.

The old man had a dark complexion. The hands and feet are rough, and at a glance, you can see that you run at sea all year round, and the sun is dry.

The other party had a straight face, and there was a hoarse voice like gold and iron friction: "Where do you dare to be called uncle by Lin Gongzi, I heard that you were a talent show at the age of fourteen." That's right. It's just that our difficulty is not something that you can deal with by composing poems and writing eight-strand essays on weekdays. ”

As soon as this Uncle Chen spoke, Chen Zhenlong and Chen Xinggui didn't dare to say anything, it seems that this person is the real master here.

Such a person who begs for a living at sea has a straight temperament. Lin Yanchao thought to himself, then it would be good to meet someone and say something.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, you don't have to provoke me as soon as you meet. Brother Xinggui is my classmate, and I am here to help my friends. ”

Uncle Chen smiled and said: "It's not a big offspring, but you learn to speak from us people at sea, I'll see what you can do?" ”

After speaking, he smoked the dry smoke horizontally, and smoked it on the side of his mouth.

Chen Yinglong hurriedly explained: "Brother Lin Xian, my thirteenth uncle, I don't like to read people on weekdays, so you can take care of it." Xinggui, can you tell the virtuous brother about this along the way? ”

Chen Xinggui only then spoke: "Brother, I have already said it." ”

Chen Yinglong nodded and said, "Okay, I won't be verbose anymore, dare to ask Brother Xian if he has any eyebrows?" ”

Lin Yanchao said immediately: "Before I say this, I have a rule. ”

"There are still rules, the score is not small?" Uncle Chen sneered.

Lin Yanchao said: "Uncle Chen, the so-called working for others, you care about a word of faith, if you don't believe me, even if Zhuge Liang comes to give you a clever plan, it is useless." If you don't believe me, I'll take my leave. ”

Uncle Chen's face jumped slightly, took a few puffs of dry cigarettes, and then said, "Hou Shengyi, you can talk about it first." ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhenlong and Chen Xinggui both showed relieved expressions.

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Okay, I can plan for you and fight this lawsuit, but I can't come forward, this matter can only stand behind the scenes, and you can handle it." ”

Uncle Chen said coldly: "Why? ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It's very simple, you can know that there is a sentence, in the Huang Palace, a piece of paper does not enter the public gate." I'm a student right now, and if I deal with the government, my reputation will be damaged. ”

Uncle Chen snorted and said to Chen Yinglong: "Look at what Hou Sheng said, didn't you say that he was a disciple of Governor Chen?" Does he have weight in front of him to speak? If he doesn't come forward to intercede with Governor Chen, what's the use of looking for him? ”

Chen Yinglong frowned and said, "Brother Lin Xian, can't you turn around?" ”

Lin Yanchao shook his head.

Uncle Chen smashed the dry tobacco on the table, and said with a sneer: "Then it's a fart, send off guests!" ”

Lin Yanchao stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll leave." ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao got up, and Chen Xinggui chased after Lin Yanchao on the side and said, "Brother Yanchao, think about it again." ”

Lin Yanchao stopped and said: "Brother Xing, we are friends, so I tell you the truth, if you want to turn around this matter, then it is useless to find Governor Chen!" Don't try to waste your efforts there. There are many sins today. ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao walked out of the door and was about to step out of the threshold, but he heard a voice behind him: "Slow!" (To be continued.) )
