Wang Zhi was originally a thief businessman, and it was Xu Jin who recruited him with one hand, and promoted him to be the first protector of the Oriental Metropolitan Protectorate, so Xu Jin can be regarded as Wang Zhi's benefactor.

At this time, Wang Zhi knelt down in front of Xu Jin tremblingly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Wang Zhi confessed, Wang Zhi deserved to die, ashamed of the court, ashamed of the grace of the handsome in the past, and worthy of the trust of the handsome!" ”

Wei Guogong Xu Pengju couldn't help but sneer: "Phew, it's really not a coffin without shedding tears, and now that the sword is added to wake up Lord Xu's trust and support for you, isn't it too late?" Why did you go earlier, why didn't you think that it would affect Lord Xu when you killed the official and rebelled? If it weren't for Lord Xu's deep trust from the emperor, I am afraid that he would have been killed by your father and son. ”

Although Xu Pengju can't lead troops to fight, who dares to say that he is not a smart person? At the beginning, Lu Bing, Zhang Xuan, Guo Xun and others joined forces to put Xu Jin to death, and Xungui Group also participated in helping, and even many people took action to snatch the property under Xu Jin's name, only he stayed out of the matter, so he can still maintain a good relationship with Xu Jin now.

However, although Xu Pengju stayed out of the matter at the beginning, he was also a member of the old Wuxun Group after all, as the so-called melon field Li Xia, he was always worried that Xu Jin would have a bad heart, so he tried his best to mend the relationship with Xu Jin during this time, and the words just now were ostensibly satirizing Wang Zhi, but in fact he was "confessing" to Xu Jin that he did not participate in the attack on him at the beginning.

Wang Zhi was scolded and scolded by Xu Pengju in a cold sweat, and he grabbed his head again and again and said: "Wang Zhi deserves death, but the reason why Wang Zhi rebelled is a last resort." ”

"How can this be reasonable, is it reasonable to dare you to kill officials and rebel?" Xu Pengju scolded violently.

Xu Jin waved his hand and said calmly: "Grandpa Guo is a little calm, and let him speak, Ben Shuai wants to listen to him as a last resort." ”

Xu Pengju immediately closed his mouth with interest, although he is the grandfather of the country, but with Xu Jin's status today, he Xu Pengju only has the role of a foil on the side, to be honest, Xu Pengju now has a fear of Xu Jin, not that Xu Pengju is too cowardly, but Xu Jin is too "strong", he has never lost a war, and the people who oppose him seem to have no good end, far away are the Zhang family brothers, the first assistant Yang Tinghe, Mao Cheng and other old ministers, close to Lu Bing, Zhang Xuan and Guo Xun and others.

For example, the Xungui Group participated in the joint attack on Xu Jin, but Xu Jin was fine in the end, but the official became bigger and bigger, and he also rectified two waves of the Xungui Group with his backhand, one was the title demotion system, and the other was to eliminate the 12th regiment battalion and restore the 3rd battalion.

In Xu Pengju's eyes, the title demotion system and the restoration of the three major battalions were what Xu Jin came up with to specifically rectify the Xungui Group. Anyway, if you can be friends with Xu Jin, you must not be an enemy.

If Xu Jin knew that Xu Pengju had this kind of thought, I am afraid that he would be ridiculous, he asked himself if he was not a righteous gentleman, but he was not a villain who would be repaid, the reason why he proposed the title demotion system was completely to reduce the burden of the imperial court, and the idea of eliminating the twelve regiments and battalions and restoring the three major battalions in the early Ming Dynasty was Zhu Houxi's own idea, and it was none of his business.

Getting back to the point, at this time, I only heard Wang Zhidao: "Wang Zhishang was born, and later went to sea as a thief, and was influenced by Lord Xu to accept the imperial court's recruitment." Lord Xu did not think that Wang Zhi was born despicable, and he was promoted to protect the Oriental Metropolitan Protector, Wang Zhi was grateful to him, and he wanted to serve the court conscientiously and conscientiously to repay the kindness of Lord Xu.

However, after the arrival of the political envoy Jia He and the criminal press Yan Song, they often sneered at Wang Zhi's father and son, made it difficult to find fault everywhere, and even directly denounced Xiao'er as a thief and bandit, and denounced Wang Zhi as an old thief behind his back, so the contradiction between the two sides is deepening.

Once Xiao'er took a fancy to a widow singer, but the political envoy Jia He took it back as a concubine first, and also posted a post to invite my father and son to drink the wine, Xiao'er didn't want to go, but the person who came deliberately provoked him with words, and the child went angrily.

Xiao'er was furious and lost his mind, and killed Jia He by mistake, Yan Song left the table in a panic, and soon led troops to arrest him. Wang Zhi knew that he was at a loss, and he did not resist and was arrested, but Xiao'er was angry and worried about Wang Zhi's safety, so he summoned his subordinates to rob people, and finally the two sides fought, and Yan Song fled to the port to board the ship and leave.

Wang Zhi knew that the crime of rebellion deserved death, but this matter was caused by Jia He and Yan Song, and he begged Lord Xu to learn from it and give justice to my father and son! ”

After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he slammed his head three times, and his face was full of blood, and all the generals present couldn't help frowning, if what Wang Zhi said was true, then the political envoy Jia He was really to blame, and Yan Song's goods were also very bad.

Wei Guogong Xu Pengju's face changed uncertainly, Yan Song did take Zhang Zhang's path before becoming the envoy of the Oriental Protectorate, and Jia He is also an upstart faction, and he is very close to Zhang Zhang, could the two have been instructed by Zhang Xuan to deliberately force Wang Zhi to implicate Xu Jin?

Tsk, if that's the case, then when Xu Jin returns to China this time, Yan Song may not have any good fruit to eat!

The cold glint in Xu Jin's eyes flashed, what Xu Pengju could think of, he could naturally think of it, in fact, he had long been surprised by the sudden rebellion of Wang Zhi's father and son, sure enough, someone was a demon, no wonder Yan Song pretended to be sick before leaving, and dared to love because he had a ghost in his heart, but he could hide from the first day of junior high school, could he still hide from fifteen?

Although he had believed Wang Zhi's words for eight ~ nine points, Xu Jin still said quietly: "If you are arrogant, you will listen to it." Wang Zhi, what you are saying now, Ben Shuai listens for the time being, after returning to the Ming Dynasty, do you dare to confront Lord Yan in front of the emperor? ”

Wang Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and faintly gave birth to a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly said: "What Wang Zhi said just now is true, and he is not afraid to confront Yan Song, a thief." ”

Xu Jin nodded and said lightly: "Come on, take Wang Zhi down for temporary detention, and then try it together after Mao Haifeng is arrested." ”

Sima Yuan immediately stepped forward in person to pick up Wang Zhisuo and escort him to the ship and put him in prison.

When the Ming army finished cleaning up the battlefield and it was already sunset, Xie Sangun took Xu Jin to an armory field on the island and handed Xu Jin a brand-new flintlock pistol.

Xu Jin's heart moved, took the flintlock pistol and skillfully pulled up the flint, and then pulled the trigger, only to hear a snap, the hammer hit the flint, and suddenly sparks.

Wang Lin'er said in a deep voice: "Dashuai, it seems that we still underestimate Wang Zhi's father and son, their weapons field can already make flintlock pistols in small quantities, although the quality is inferior, but it is not much worse!" ”

Xu Jin frowned and said decisively: "Pass the order, and send troops to take Kyushu Island in three days." ”

The craftsmen under Mao Haifeng's command were able to make flintlock pistols, which was beyond Xu Jin's expectations, so in order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, it was better to take it as soon as possible.
