But Zhang Fan and Xuanyuan Xing were in a hurry to go to China to find the 'evidence of the four seas' of the anti-scale fragments, and they had no time to take care of anything else. Although the book demon knew history, he didn't remind Zhang Fan. Probably he also thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to meet the 'Pure Sea King' Wang Zhi. After this task is completed, it may be too late to go to the great geographical discovery......

Intimidated by this attack, Zhang Fan and Xuanyuan Xing drove the 'Holy Fox' by sea for two weeks in a row. It's a little slower, but it's much safer. It took more than ten days to drive to the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. Although he experienced a storm at sea along the way, he did not encounter any sea monsters.

It was only twenty nautical miles away from Wake Island that he encountered a super giant tortoise with a gentle temperament. Zhang Fan didn't dare to approach by boat. Only sent Xuanyuan Xing to drive the wooden kite around the sky a few times to check. The giant tortoise seemed to be asleep, floating motionless on the surface of the sea, and if you didn't pay attention, you thought it was an island. Its size seems to resemble the giant tortoise in the Edo period in the past, and I wonder if there is some connection between the two. In fact, because of Zhang Fan's caution, he did miss some opportunities.

Close to the Chinese mainland, the weather is sunny. Zhang Fan collected the big ship, and still flew to the mainland with Xuanyuan Xing in a wooden kite. And took advantage of the night to land outside Hangzhou. Slept outside the city for a night, and the next day when the city gate of Hangzhou opened, Zhang Fan and Xuanyuan Xing went straight into the city. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan's identity automatically became a middle-level officer in mainland China, and Xuanyuan Xing became his entourage. The soldiers at the gates of the city saluted respectfully. It seems that the Zhengliupin Zhaowu Lieutenant who was awarded in the Tang Dynasty can also be used in the Ming Dynasty.

The capture of Wang Zhi, the 'King of the Pure Sea', was also a major event in Hangzhou, which naturally caused discussion in the streets. Although it was a few months later, there was still a lot of gossip in the tavern in the city, so it was not difficult to secretly inquire about the place where he was under house arrest. In addition, Zhang Fan Xuanyuan Xing had a lot of silver taels in his hands, and his means were generous, and he soon found out the information from the mouths of some soldiers who came to the tavern to drink and have fun. Among them were several sergeants, and they were the peripheral soldiers who were guarding Wang Zhi. I have to say that Zhang Fan's luck is good enough.

The place where Wang Zhi was placed under house arrest turned out to be the Zhejiang patrol to supervise the imperial history Hu Zongxian's patrol in the palace, Hu Zongxian's word Ruzhen, the name Meilin, Huizhou Jixi (now Anhui) people, at this time the official to the military department Zuo Shilang and the capital of the Imperial Court Zuo Yushi, the governor of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fu and other military affairs, responsible for the southeast coast of the anti-Japanese heavy task, is the Ming Dynasty anti-Japanese general. It is claimed that without Hu Zongxian, there would be no Qi Jiajun. It was he who designed to trap the 'King of the Pure Sea' Wang Zhi, but he did not agree to kill Wang Zhi, but hoped that the imperial court would recruit him and control the thief with a thief.

But his good words were framed by the honest and honest Zhejiang Inspector Wang Guben as accepting the benefits of the 'King of the Pure Sea', and deliberately let Wang Zhi go. In self-preservation, Hu Zongxian Zuihou could only write to kill Wang Zhi, resulting in ten years of chaos in Fujian and Zhejiang.

Hu Zongxian was a protégé of a generation of traitorous ministers Yan Song in history, and he was also a big corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty. He embezzled military salaries, lived extravagantly, suppressed dissidents, and bribed courtiers. But he has quite a bright spot in resisting the Japanese and exterminating the sea bandits. It can be said that without Hu Zongxian, there would have been no victory of the Ming Dynasty in exterminating the pirates. In addition, for the first time, the "Compilation of Charts for the Sea" compiled by him clearly marked the location of the fishing-fish-island, and Hu Zongxian was the first person to assign the fishing-fish-island to Chinese territory. In the general direction, this person can be said to have more merit than demerit!

However, the honest and upright Wang Guben did not know right and wrong and killed the 'King of the Pure Sea' Wang Zhi, which caused Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei's years of hard work to control thieves with thieves come to naught. So much so that for ten years of chaos in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, countless dawn people died at the hands of the Japanese invaders. Even if he is unintentional, but the mistake is a mistake after all, it can only be said that he is a stupid person who does bad things with good intentions, and it can be said that the past is greater than the merit!

The anti-Japanese struggle presided over by Hu Zongxian was the biggest highlight of his life. The courage and resourcefulness he showed were indeed remarkable, and he could be called a capable minister and a rare talent. However, his friendship with the powerful, his tendency to become inflammatory, and his extravagance also made his character controversial. Can a talented person be reused? Corrupt officials are not necessarily bad officials. On the other hand, although Wang Bengu is honest and honest, he cannot cover up his political mistakes, and clean officials are not necessarily good officials.

Zhang Fan learned about this history through the book demon, and he had a plan in his heart. This Hu Zongxian put Wang Zhi under house arrest in his own mansion, although it was to protect the leader of the pirates from the overall situation. In order to avoid the death of Wang Zhi, the pirates and pirates will be leaderless, scattered and self-proclaimed kings, and it is not easy to clean up. But from another point of view, it is inevitable that he wants to get some oil and water from this rich and rival country's 'Pure Sea King'.

With this person, Zhang Fan felt that it was much easier to do things. So Zhang Fan discussed with the book demon for a few days, and asked Xuanyuan Xing to bring a letter of greeting with the fire paint seal of Baron Zhang Fan's badge to Hu Zongxian's mansion, and this exquisite greeting post contained a silver ticket of two thousand taels......

After reading the post, Hu Zongxian immediately summoned Zhang Fan. During this period, Hu Zongxian actually retreated and had a secret conversation with Zhang Fan. Because Zhang Fan faintly mentioned in the worship post that he had a way to find out the treasure hidden by the 'Pure Sea King'......

Hu Zongxian had long heard of this middle-level officer in China, a nobleman from a foreign country. I heard that this Shi Fan and his companions once won hundreds of miles of territory for the imperial court in the Western Regions! Later, he sent envoys to Western countries, and made great achievements in England as his country, and was knighted by the king of foreign lands. Although it was not recognized in the Ming court, even the emperor appreciated his deeds.

This kind of celebrity is a person with a long face for the Ming Dynasty, if he faces the saint once, he will definitely be rewarded by the emperor. Now, although he is only a sixth-grade school captain, who knows when he will be crowned marquis, he can't ignore it. In addition, this person has a lot of adventures overseas, and it is rumored that he is already worth tens of millions, and he is rich enough to rival the country! Compared to the 'King of the Pure Sea', it is not much better, and it will definitely not suffer a loss if you associate with him. With so much careful thinking, Hu Zongxian, who is the third rank of the military department, actually met him as a courtesy.

"I didn't expect that my mansion would usher in a generation of strange people, Sir Shi Fan, and it is really full of brilliance!" Hu Zongxian greeted him with a pleasant face.

"In my later life, I was able to meet my Ming generation of anti-Japanese celebrities! It's really a blessing for three lives! Zhang Fan's words are the truth, "This time I am glad to hear that the lord has captured the 'Hui King' of the Japanese chieftain, which is really gratifying!" ”

"Eh, the Japanese chief Wang Zhi was captured by the Inspector Wang, how dare this official ask for credit." Hu Zongxian's eyes flickered.

Zhang Fan smiled and said: "If it weren't for your careful planning, where would this thief be caught by a rotten Confucian......

Hu Zongxian was overjoyed when he heard this, "Haha! It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Sir Shi Fan, please. ”

"Lord Hu, please ......"

Entering the inner room, Hu Zongxian let his subordinates go to the authentic West Lake Longjing. Zhang Fan found that this Hangzhou West Lake Longjing tea turned out to be a blue supply prop, it seems that Hu Zongxian really attaches importance to himself, and the tea is also the best Longjing tea, so there are regular props in the scene to display. So the two drank tea and complimented each other. Until Hu Zongxian asked Zhang Fan about his intentions, Zhang Fan was silent, Hu Zongxian understood, let the left and right screen retreat, and the two entered the topic.

"What does the treasure of the 'Pure Sea King' mean?" Hu Zongxian lowered his head and drank tea, pretending not to care.

Zhang Fan didn't look at him, but said to himself: "The last general has traveled overseas for many years, and he has some contacts with maritime merchants and pirates everywhere in Shijie. Knowing that pirate leaders everywhere have their own secret hiding places, hiding their looted treasures over the years. The number is unknown. So much so that as soon as the leader of the pirates died, no one knew about the treasure he hid. This time, the 'King of the Pure Sea' was captured, although the adults tried their best to protect it, in order to wipe out all the pirates and pirates. But looking at the situation in the end, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do what adults want......"

Hu Zongxian glanced up at Zhang Fan, "So what?" ”

Zhang Fan leaned over slightly and said in a low voice: "If the 'King of the Pure Sea' dies, his subordinates will naturally fight separately, and it will be a foregone conclusion to disturb the people of Fujian and Zhejiang in the future." And the hidden treasure of the 'Pure Sea King' will eventually be missing. The last general has a lot of dealings with these pirate leaders, and knows the temperament of these pirate chieftains. Why don't you let the last general go to the test, maybe you can earn a benefit for the court. It's also good to slightly reduce the evil consequences of killing the 'King of the Pure Sea' and causing the people of Fujian and Zhejiang to suffer misery......"

Hu Zongxian quietly listened to Zhang Fan's speech, slowly turned his head, thought for a long time, and said lightly: "Sir Shi Fan is sympathetic to the heart of the court, so that this official admires." However, if the Japanese chief knows that he will die, how can he tell you the treasure hidden? If he knows that he will not die, why should he tell you where the treasure is hidden? ”

Zhang Fan smiled and said: "The adult is really witty!" It is a matter of killing two birds with one stone to find out where the last general is hiding his treasures......"

"Oh, how to kill two birds with one stone?" Hu Zongxian was curious.

Zhang Fan took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said, "The last general has a special identity and has returned from overseas. Whether it is those pirates or our officers and soldiers, they do not understand the details. I went to negotiate with Wang Zhi, and it would be best if I could find out where the treasure was hidden. If you can't hear it, you won't have a loss, and you can get a good chance to wipe out all the pirates! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Hu Zongxian was puzzled.

Zhang Fan said softly: "If the last general can't find out his hidden treasure, the adults can also secretly leak this matter." Those pirates and pirates must follow the trail of the last general. The last general will lead them into the encirclement set up by the adults...... Zhang Fan drew a circle with his right hand, and then clenched his fist hard, signaling to catch it all. ”

Hu Zongxian gasped, clapped his hands and said, "This plan is very good!" ”

"Your Excellency...... There are ears on the partition wall......" Zhang Fan immediately signaled Hu Zongxian to silence.

Hu Zongxian also immediately understood his gaffe, and quickly covered his mouth lightly with his hand, and said in a low voice: "This plan is very good!" Sir Shi Fan really has something extraordinary. If he can wipe out all the pirates this time, this official will definitely ask for a head credit for Sir Shi Fan! Daming has such a pillar as Sir Shi Fan, which is really a great blessing for the people in the world! ”
