Chapter 214

Commander Zhou came in a hurry this time and only brought less than 300 personal soldiers with him. Li Yunchang had a guard, and there were warships here.

He even had some ideas and didn't dare to move now.

I immediately said with a smile on my face: "Is this not what the subordinates mean? How dare I compete with the masters for me? It's just that a young subordinate has not known what happened to have collided with the adults. People from small places have never seen the world. Please don't bother with him. After the young man is in charge, he will leave immediately."

Liu Yunchang knew that when he let the tiger go back to the mountain today, something would inevitably happen again, so he secretly looked back at Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu nodded slightly, Li Yunchang reached out and gently stroked his beard, and pondered: "Master Zhou, let's talk about this matter."

When Commander Zhou heard this, he hurried forward. Li Yunchang turned around and left, and he followed behind.

"Commander Zhou, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Qianhu, the surname Zhao, spoke too rudely. I naturally wanted to arrest him in front of the three armies. But if you want to plead for him, I will give you this little face." Li Yunchang smiled.

Commander Zhou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Li Yunchang was arresting Zhao Qianhu because Li Yunchang had the information that Panshiwei indulged in the smuggling of the Wen family. Now, when he heard this, he thought that it was probably the one who had hit him by chance, so he felt relieved. As for the captives of the Wen family, he would find a way later.

What he was most worried about was that if Zhao Qianhu couldn't stand the torture, if he vomited, could he run away? He hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, sir, thank you."

"Don't thank me, the people who lead the troops will naturally have to think about their subordinates, otherwise who will work hard for you? Let's go. I'll take you there." Li Yunchang said with a smile.

Commander Zhou became more at ease and followed Li Yunchang toward Ningcun.

When we arrived outside the gate of Ningcun Institute, we were more than a thousand meters away from the pier, and Commander Zhou's personal soldiers were thrown away from far away.

Li Yunchang smiled and said, "You wait here, I'll let him out now."

Commander Zhou hurriedly thanked him, and Li Yunchang turned around and left.

Commander Zhou was secretly anxious, thinking about the next step to find Wang Ming and settle Li Yunchang's affairs. After all, the sailors of the Wen family's smuggling fleet fell into his hands for more than 70. As long as the first interrogation is in question, I am afraid I can't stand anything.

However, as long as Wang Ming is willing to deal with it, this matter may not be exposed.

While he was planning, more than a hundred people suddenly rushed out of Ningcun Station, and Commander Zhou was caught off guard. Even though he had divine power, he was still pressed to the ground.

Then he was tied up and Commander Zhou struggled desperately, "Random, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Li Yunchang came out of the crowd and pointed at Commander Zhou and said angrily: "Idiot. Your subordinates have already told you that as the commander of Panshiwei, you have accepted bribes from the Wen family to smuggle sea goods. You are afraid that things will be exposed, and you are ready to kill and silence them. If the official hadn't arrived in time, you would have almost succeeded. Being honest!"

Commander Zhou was stunned as if five thunders were thundering.

He immediately said angrily: "Sir, you're wronged."

"I'm wronged. Just drag it on." Li Yunchang waved his hand and immediately Commander Zhou was taken away.

At this moment, the personal soldiers commanded by Zhou at the dock last year heard Commander Zhou screaming. Just as they were about to move, the archers around him opened their longbows, and people from all directions rushed over and surrounded them.

Li Yunchang brought his personal soldiers to the front of the formation and shouted sternly: "Zhou Cang, the commander of Panshiwei, accepted bribes, colluded with Japanese pirates, and intended to rebel. Now he has been captured by this general. Don't you surrender quickly? Otherwise, you will kill him."

When the personal soldiers who followed Commander Zhou saw that the situation was hopeless, they were anxious. Moreover, Li Yunchang was crowded with people, so they all hurriedly put down their weapons.

Then Li Yunchang's soldiers rushed over and tied them up.

After everything was done, the navy began to clear the battlefield.

Zhang Mu stood on the dock and watched the Wen family's sea boats being swallowed by the fire bit by bit, and sighed in his heart.

If it weren't for the ban on the sea, businessmen like the Wen family would not have to bribe the coastal defense guards and justify themselves. The officers and soldiers of Panshi Guard naturally would not have to risk being beheaded to indulge the Wen family to smuggle.

The Ming Dynasty set up customs in several natural ports, and the annual income is probably several times that of the current treasury income.

The coastal areas have regained their prosperity and prosperity, and the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is far superior to that of the Song and Tang Dynasties.

The treasury has money, and if it comes to the capital to deal with the Mongol Yuan, why are you still afraid of him?

Unfortunately, a ban made all this a phantom.

The Wen family did nothing wrong with everything that happened today. If the seal of the sea and the sea is closed, more and more merchants like the Wen family will emerge.

The coastal defense officers and soldiers will become increasingly corrupt. From now on, we can predict that in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the outbreak of Japanese pirates will not be a strange thing.

"How much did you pay for this cargo?" Li Yunchang asked.

"Forty thousand coins." Zhang Mu said here, and felt a pain in his heart.

"What do you plan to do next?" Li Yunchang continued.

"This time the Wen family went to sea, they would definitely find Japanese pirates to trade. From these sailors, they could ask where the delivery was. Isn't Lord Li going to make achievements again?" Zhang Mu smiled.

Li Yunchang's eyes shone brightly, patted Zhang Mu's shoulder and said, "You kid is really smart. What are you waiting for?"

"First go and transport some of the goods, so that our brothers can change into casual clothes. After cleaning the battlefield, we went out to sea. With these sailors here, we would not worry about not being able to find the Japanese pirates. Unfortunately, Wen Desheng ran away, otherwise he would be a full load today." Zhang Mu sighed and said.

Li Yunchang smiled and said, "Let the Wen family be rampant for a few days first. After we capture the pirates, even if Wen Desheng is on the run, they can still ask them about their affairs from the pirates. At that time, the corrupt officers and soldiers of the Wen family and Panshiwei will not be able to argue. You should think about the problem carefully."

Zhang Mu smiled and said, "If you suffer too much, you have to think more. The officialdom is like a battlefield, and killing people will not be seen."

After saying that, Zhang Mu headed towards Ningcun.

The officers and soldiers began to transport goods from the Wen family merchant ship that had not been damaged. Fortunately, they only burned four large ships. Although the remaining four were riddled with holes, the goods were still basically there.

When everything was right, it was already late at night, Li Yunchang and Zhang Mu boarded the ship and started to exit the dock.

The remaining officers and soldiers in Ning Village watched Li Yunchang's fleet leave, and they all looked like frosted eggplant.

Seeing Commander Zhou and Zhao Qianhu being arrested with their own eyes made them even more worried.
