Chapter 719: Alliance, Sinking Sea

In this way, Wang Fulin deepened the relationship by saving his life, hoping that he will continue to sit in the position of deputy envoy of the sea route after he recovers?

Zhou Congwen thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that his idea was not unreasonable, and he naturally became a lot more excited. Especially when Wang Fulin actually discussed with him about the pirates from Chaozhou Mansion, his mood was a little more relaxed, and he no longer had the irritability of suffering from gains and losses when he was recuperating from his illness before. Unconsciously, his personal perception of Wang Fulin was no longer the initial secret disgust and stayed away, but quietly became a person who regarded the other party as a kind friend.

Anyway, he had already made a feud, and at that time, when he was in the Gongyuan, Wang Fulin did nothing, which made him die suddenly with a heart disease, and then reassign a well-related deputy envoy of the sea route with the network in the DPRK and China, it was not impossible. Therefore, during his previous recuperation, it was all in vain, and he never thought of such a joint!

And seeing that the words had already been said quite thoroughly, Wang Fulin quietly turned the topic to Qiu Sihai: "That cook who knows acupuncture, do you want me to let someone find it, maybe it can relieve your pain?" ”

Compared with his sincere gratitude to Wang Fulin for saving his life and the words just now, Zhou Congwen's brows furrowed slightly as soon as he heard the cook.

But all officials, of course, attach great importance to their lives, and the grace of saving lives is not the same, but the problem this time is that Wang Fulin took the opportunity to save his life before Qiu Sihai, and at the same time, because there is only a gap in grade between him and Zhou Congwen, they are people of the same class, and they may also become allies in the future. So of course Zhou Congwen will be generous enough to recognize this favor. But a little cook. Just a little acupuncture. provided some pills, even if he took care of him for a few days, but after all, he had seen the most embarrassing side of him, and it was not a doctor, so it might not come in handy in the future!

In this case, the previous heavy reward is enough to repay this favor, and there is no need to deepen the relationship.

So, after a moment of hesitation. Thinking that several well-known doctors in Guangzhou City who were invited before said that his condition was no longer serious, Zhou Congwen shook his head and said: "Forget it, this person is not a serious doctor, I used to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and I am not afraid of quacks misleading people, but now I have to cherish my life, and I can't give it to someone with unknown roots at will." Besides, this person is quite rappy, and in the days before I was in the Gongyuan, I thought he was noisy. If you hadn't heard him say that his ancestral home was Chaozhou Mansion, he would have some understanding of some pirate affairs. I didn't need him for a long time. ”

"Oh, this person is from Teochew? Do you know what about pirates? Wang Fulin immediately showed a little interest, and then said sincerely, "Don't hide Zhou's observation, Ling Zhitai once handed over to me to investigate the murder of fishermen by pirates in Xin'an County, and at the same time, because there is news that Lin Daoqian has sneaked back, this whereabouts have also been handed over to me to investigate, and if possible, he will be appeased or exterminated." It was only because my group accidentally encountered an assassin that I put it on hold for the time being. Zhou Guan has been in Guangdong for so many years, has profound qualifications, and knows a lot about maritime affairs. ”

Since he already regards Wang Fulin as an ally in his heart, not to mention that Zhou Congwen's situation is okay at the moment, even if it is not good, he has to hold it up. At that moment, he carefully recalled Qiu Sihai's words, what Lin Afeng was haunted along the coast of Guangdong and Fujian, but the subordinates gradually had the heart to surrender, and the ships were less manpower than before; What Lin Dao cadres were infighting, so they sneaked back to the coast of Chaozhou Prefecture to recruit the subordinates again; What new debut pirates are not convinced by these outdated bigwigs, but they are afraid of the prestige of the government...... After picking up some important things, seeing that Wang Fulin listened attentively, he felt that he was valued, and his tone was even more relaxed at the moment.

"It's not easy for Ling Zhitai to hand over this matter to you, so I'll write a letter by hand and ask a few of my staff members to collect some information for you, some of them have even been in the Haidao Yamen for more than ten years, and they know a lot more about the inside story than me. However, Xiao Wang Xun pressed you not to be in a hurry, wait for some time, my condition has improved, then you and I will work together, why worry? This time, Zhou Congwen's little Wang Xun pressed four words, but it brought out a bit of intimacy, which obviously meant to further bring the relationship between the two closer.

"Thank you for your observation. But you can recuperate with peace of mind, don't be distracted, if this matter can have eyebrows, I will never forget the observation of Zhou during the recount, if there is nothing, or even a mistake, naturally I will bear it. I, Wang Fulin, don't dare to say anything else, but my promise will never be discounted! ”

In other words, everyone has the credit, and everyone bears the guilt? This young boy is really courageous!

Zhou Congwen believed this directly without doubt, waited until Wang Fulin pondered for a while, and then comforted him, and then said goodbye and left, he was half-lying on the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief, only to feel that the worries and worries that had been in place for several days had all subsided temporarily, replaced by a faint excitement.

If he and Wang Fulin are not enemies but allies, it means that he can reach the circle behind Wang Fulin, which is likely to have the circle of Zhang Juzheng, the head of the dynasty. In this way, he really does not lose money from this disease, not only does he not have to worry about his life, but he will have a lot to do in the future!

After visiting Zhou Congwen, Wang Fulin went to the Guangzhou Mansion and had a cordial meeting with Pang Xianzu, the prefect of Guangzhou.

If you want to talk about official qualities, the prefect and the sub-guard road are on par, and they are six levels higher than the patrol press imperial history, but the authority is only within one government, and Wang Fulin, who holds the supervision power of the entire Guangdong, not only does not have to look at his face, but sometimes he can also hinder the prefect. Therefore, Pang Xianzu was initially worried that Wang Fulin was here to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, it can be seen that Wang Fulin had a warm attitude, and even regarded him as a senior in the field between his words, and sent a bunch of high hats, and finally said that he had lost a few suspects to the judge before, and asked the Guangzhou government to deal with it together with the judge, which was nothing more than an expression of absolute trust, and he immediately understood it, and he was relieved all of a sudden.

Therefore, when Wang Fulin said goodbye and left, this Pang Zhifu personally sent it to the door of the government office, and his courtesy even made the officials of the government and the small officials of the third class and six rooms feel smacked.

interviewed three officials, and threw such a big thing out to make others anxious, in the eyes of outsiders. Then Wang Fulin temporarily died down. Or maybe he hid in the courtyard and laughed at the situation. Even Gu Jing, the county commander of Xiangshan County, supervised the selection of businessmen and the formation of a bureau, Wang Fulin did not show up, and only saw Zhao Haitao, the commander of Nanhai County, and Yu Chenghui, the commander of Panyu County, who visited the procuratorate one after another. No one thought that Wang Fulin was not in the procuratorate at all, and the visit of Zhao Haitao and Yu Chenghui was just that Pang Xianzu was invited by Wang Fulin to say that the two county orders co-staged a play, but in fact, Wang Fulin, who had come out of his shell, was no longer in the procuratorate.

Wang Fulin went to Xin'an again. This time, he showed his identity and met the Tang County Commander who was more than kind and incompetent. Hearing Wang Fulin's request this time, he picked out absolutely capable people, and on the grounds that he had been out of pirates, he was not allowed to let people in or out, but at the same time to ensure his life, he agreed without even thinking about it. However, when Wang Fulin directly left an entourage down. At the same time, he was surprised that the funds were allocated directly for the fishermen to eat. But he was also relieved.

The small Xin'an County is very tight on the public funds of the county party, if Wang Fulin does not leave people and does not allocate funds, he will have to repeat the old tune to the big families in the county!

After returning from Xin'an, Wang Fulin went straight to Xiaobei's house in Guangzhou. He used his daughter-in-law's temporary residence as a prison cell, but there was no way. Although the four people except for Old Man Fu have now been thrown away to the judges, the dozen or so people who are still locked up cannot be left alone. In order to prevent the interrogation from being too quiet and attracting attention, and in addition to the fact that he had been in and out of there before, as a precaution, he had people rent an extremely secluded mansion with a storage cellar in the city of Guangzhou, and transferred everyone including Xiaobei, including the prisoners.

It is the easiest thing to pry open the mouths of the two Francophiles.

For Victor, the impostor captain who had never been subjected to corporal punishment since birth, he went down with a few whips, for fear that the news would not be detailed enough, and he wanted to tell him what he ate for a meal in Portugal. He had been with the real Captain Franco for a long time, and the famous beautiful man in Portuguese social circles said goodbye to his mistress, and the viscount's daughter came to the far east, and after a few trips with the ship, he was quite gifted with language, and he quickly mastered the daily conversation, and when he saw the huge profits, he moved his mind.

Taking advantage of Captain Franco's trade with the South Seas through Macao, he used his connections with the Bragança family to recruit a group of natives in Manraka, intending to impersonate pirates on his return journey. Who knew that in Haojing, a small move to catch the door was discovered by Wang Fulin, and he had to take the risk of launching a rebellion, and then jumped into the sea to escape. As for killing the fishermen and hijacking the boat with the help of a small sampan, it was not their hands that made the first move, but the group of fishermen who sank their boat, and if he hadn't persuaded the other party to rescue them with his rhetoric and treasure, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to kill and seize the boat, he would have died. Rao is like this, one of the three people still died, and he and the other remaining people met Fu Xiong's group of real pirates, and after going around in a big circle, they fell into the hands of Wang Fulin!

Although Victor, who had only seen Wang Fulin, still didn't know who Wang Fulin was, Victor at least knew that the other party was an official - in this regard alone, he couldn't match the horse when he was in Portugal, and he only relied on a face to eat soft rice. Therefore, he gave full play to his linguistic advantages over his companions or subordinates, kneeling when he said he was kneeling, and hugging his thighs when he said he was hugging his thighs, without the slightest ambiguity. So much so that Wang Fulin was so easy to break free, and when people dragged him away with a gag, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Does that Viscount daughter of the Bragança family only value one of this guy's faces? This kind of spineless guy, as long as he has interests or whips, let him do anything!

"Childe, go ask that old man Fu next?"

"That guy doesn't need to be asked, he has already asked what he should have asked, if it weren't for Fu Xiong's need to keep hostages to contain him, I would have lost this kind of goods to the judge. Escort that Qiu Sihai over. ”

Since Qiu Sihai woke up that day, he found that the clothes on his body were almost stripped clean, and the rope that tied him was almost cut into the flesh, and he didn't think that he had the slightest chance to break free. However, he found that the subordinates he had sent to Datong Village to guard the Du family's family were almost wiped out, and these people even revealed that the reason why they were so embarrassed was because Du Maode reported to the official, and the government dispatched the elite soldiers of the South China Sea Weiguang Haiwei, but he didn't believe it at all.

For days now, the place where he has been held does not look like a prison cell at all!

And for several days, except for three meals a day, no one paid attention to them, and the rope was never untied, at most it was only the difference between loose and tight, and finally he was gagged and put on a hood and locked up in another place, and he felt even more that he was not wrong. If it was really Du Maode who reported to the official, I am afraid that they would have been escorted to the public court a long time ago, tortured and tortured, and suffered a lot of hardships, right? It is very likely that Du Maode has leaned on other bigwigs, such as Lin Daoqian, who was defeated by Lin Afeng, or other emerging pirate forces, if so, he should still have a chance!

At this moment, when he was blindfolded and was carried to a room and knelt down, he had already expected this to happen, and he was very calm in his heart. Especially when a deep voice asked him if he was assigned by Lin Afeng and what was the matter, he confessed very happily: "It was Master Feng who sent me." Feng Ye hopes that the imperial court can appease us and others and find a way for his brothers to become rich and glorious. ”

Anyway, he didn't notice Du Maode's bluffing plan for a while, and told this purpose, and now there is nothing to hide!

"Fussing? If I'm not mistaken, Lin Afeng begged the court to appease me three years ago, right? But the result was that Yin Butang, the governor of Liangguang at that time, did not allow it, and he was defeated again and again in the hands of the government, and he went to Luzon just because he was chased behind his ass and had no way out, and he was not chased back by the Franco? Now there are only a few boats and so many people, and they still want to ask the court to appease them? It's a dream! ”

Although he couldn't tell who this low and dark voice was, but the other party directly exposed the foundation of Lin Afeng behind him, Qiu Sihai couldn't help but sink in his heart, and felt that the group of people who held him were not from the government, but should be peers. At that moment, he raised his spirits, and reluctantly regained his strength and said: "It is true that Feng Ye's strength is not as good as before, but where are there still pirates who dominated one side like Wang Zhi and Xu Hai back then?" Whether it's Wu Ping, Zeng Yiyi, Lin Daoqian, or now Feng Ye, they have all been chased by officers and soldiers and have nowhere to stay, since they are peers, they should know that they should not fight in the nest at this time, otherwise they will only be broken by the government! ”

"Oh, and what?"

He tried his best to lay out the facts and reason, but in exchange for the other party's careless four words, Qiu Sihai suddenly felt a little angry. But now that he is a prisoner, even if he wants to scold, he has to think about his life, and he is not sure if the other party still has Du Maode by his side, and he doesn't dare to say anything that is too easy to be seen through, after all, it is very likely that there is still this military advisor used by Lin Afeng back then.

"What's more, now Luzon, Manraka and other places are full of Francophone people, but these people are not as good as us, and they can do business in Haojing, so they are very rich. If you are willing, I can contact Feng Ye, and we will work together to make a ......."

"Needless to say, these sounds like beautiful words. Lin Afeng has been crisscrossing the sea for some years, and they all say that pirates like to hide things the most, if you want to survive, you might as well give out a few places in his treasure trove! Otherwise, if he asks you to come to Guangzhou City to do this kind of thing, it will not make you come empty-handed, and there should be a meeting gift to send up! ”

Qiu Sihai struck a fierce spirit at this time, and the premonition of black eating black in his heart became even stronger. He took a deep breath and was about to speak, when the other party's next sentence suddenly made him hesitate.

"To be honest with you, my family also has a meeting gift, and I want to ask a certain adult to send it to Ling Zhitai and ask for a comfort. If you know each other, one of these two cooperation, if you turn back, I can also find a future for you, otherwise, you and your subordinates will all sink into the sea! ”
