"I don't understand!" Yu Dayou frowned tightly and said: "It stands to reason that if you lose forty-three ships, the brothers on the ships should also be killed, how can you just strip them and send them back?" When did pirates become so polite? ”

"Besides......

Where does Wang Zhi still have the strength to defeat the forty-five boats of the Daming Sailors? At first, he only escaped with 2,000 people, and he couldn't figure it out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"My lord, I'll go back and investigate." Lu Liang said.

"No need!" Yu Dayou shook his head and said: "You won't find out, after you go back, forget about it, and don't show a trace of interest." ”

"Why?" Lu Liang asked puzzled.

"This matter is not simple, although I don't know the truth of this matter, but there is definitely a conspiracy in this matter, I have a feeling that if you have a hint of interest, Hu Zongxian will kill you immediately. In fact, I would recommend that you leave and flee immediately. ”

"Then you ......"

"Me? If I don't understand something, I'll find someone to figure it out. ”

"Who's so powerful?"

"Don't ask about this, you or flee immediately, if I don't die, I will help you after Hu Zongxian falls. Or you forget about it, don't let Hu Zongxian think of you. ”

"I ...... Get back. ”

"Then you remember for me, forget about today's events, and don't care about the affairs of the forty-three ships."

"I ...... Got it. ”

"Go ahead!"

"General Yu, farewell."

"Take care!"

"Take care!"

Lu Liang turned over his horse, walked out of Suzhou City, and galloped towards the camp of the sailors. And Yu Dayou returned to his home, took out the war horse, turned over the horse, and galloped towards Hangzhou.

Hangzhou.

Prefect's Yamen.

Luo Xin, He Nian and Wang Ziren sat in the second hall, and all three of them frowned slightly. All three of them wondered why the merchants of the vassal kingdom hadn't come yet.

Now that the Japanese have been pacified, those feudal merchants should come! Emperor Jiajing has already come to the will again, on the one hand, it is a reward, on the other hand, it is urging Luo Xin to hurry up and make money, and the treasury is empty again.

Emperor Jiajing is still not crying poor, although Luo Xin has earned him more than 5 million taels of silver, but it is really not enough, in addition to reissuing the officials' money, it is not enough to rebuild the north and help the victims. Now Beijing City is still in dilapidated shape after being attacked by Huang Taiji, and there is no money to repair it until now.

He Nian and Wang Ziren really couldn't figure it out, now that there are no Japanese in the southeast, don't those vassal merchants know? If so, why haven't they come?

Luo Xinxin's thoughts were different from the two of them, he knew that the merchants of the vassal kingdom must have come, and at worst, the first batch of merchants of the vassal kingdom should have arrived. However, it has not yet arrived, so there is only one reason, Hu Zongxian sent troops to rob him by pretending to be a pirate.

The person who arranged to monitor the camp of the sailor had already informed Luo Xin that forty-five ships had gone out of the camp of the navy. There is no doubt that Hu Zongxian did it.

In order to sabotage the market company run by Luo Xin, he has done everything he can, ignoring the laws and regulations of the state, and his purpose is to get Luo Xin to dismiss his official position, and then put Luo Xin to death.

Luo Xin raised his hand and rubbed his brows, and said secretly in his heart: "Luo Sheng, they should have received their own letter, did they do it according to their plan?" ”

Wan Daquan appeared at the door and gave Luo Xin a look, and Luo Xin got up and walked towards the back hall. Coming to Wan Daquan's side, Wan Daquan said in a low voice:

"Zheng Darttou came in through the back door and is now waiting for you in your study."

Luo Xin nodded, came to the study, pushed open the door and walked in. Zheng Dangtou hurriedly stood up and said:

"Meet your lordship."

"What's the news?"

"News from the Mariner."

"Speak!"

"The departing ship has returned."

"Huh?" Luo Xin's heart jumped, since the departing ships were back, it proved that they had succeeded in robbing. So, what did Luo Sheng do to eat?

"You're back in two boats, though." Zheng Dart said in a low voice.

Luo Xin almost kicked out, did he have such a big pant when he spoke?

"Only two?"

"Well, there are only two."

"What about people? How many come back? ”

"It's almost all back. It's just ......" Speaking of this, a strange look appeared on his face: "It's just that they have all been stripped naked, and the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands are gone." ”

Luo Xin's eyebrows immediately showed joy, and he knew that this was Luo Sheng's move. In this way, with Hu Zongxian's character, he would never dare to send sailors to sea again, at least not in a short period of time. He was thinking at this time, what is Hu Zongxian's mood now?

Suzhou Prefecture.

Lobby of the Governor's Palace.

"Are you saying that the pirates who came later didn't kill you, but only took away your armor and weapons?"

"Yes!"

"Then what do they do with those vassal merchants? But the goods were confiscated, and then the merchants of the vassal kingdom were released? ”

"No, they robbed the vassal people, ships and goods."

The look on Hu Zongxian's face relaxed slightly, this is the good news in the bad news. Although the losses on his side were huge, losing forty-three boats, he always managed to cope with it. As long as those pirates who appeared later robbed the merchants of the feudal kingdom, it would destroy Luo Xin's business in the city.

And......

Since those pirates released all the Ming officers and soldiers, it proves that they dare not do anything wrong, maybe this is just a demonstration against Hu Zongxian, and they want Hu Zongxian to recruit them.

As the saying goes, murder and fire prevention are recruited. Maybe those pirates had this idea.

Now that Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang are all dead, and Wang Zhi has become a defeated remnant, maybe those pirates are afraid, afraid that the Ming officers and soldiers will exterminate them again. And they may not know that Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang's deaths, as well as Wang Zhi's defeat were all done by Luo Xin, after all, he Hu Zongxian is the king of the southeast, and those pirates should think that these achievements were obtained by him in Hangzhou City, so they want to demonstrate to Hu Zongxian and show favor to Hu Zongxian.

"Well, that's not bad either! A loss may turn out to be a gain! Hu Zongxian touched his chin and said secretly in his heart: "If you can contact that mysterious pirate, and then subdue them, let them fight Luo Xin, and bluff on your side to suppress the pirates." Emperor Jiajing will definitely not remove himself.

This is the self-respect of raising a coarse! ”

Hu Zongxian's mood improved again, he had already decided that since the mysterious pirate had released his people, he would definitely take the initiative to contact him, and he would wait.

Hangzhou Mansion.

The second hall of the prefect's yamen.

Zheng Darttou had already left from the back door, Luo Xin returned to the second hall, and saw that He Nian and Wang Ziren were still there with sad faces, so he smiled and poured two cups of tea for the two of them:

"Don't be sad, there must be a road to the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the wharf."
