Chapter fifty-eight
Pirates in the sea?
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, looked at Wei Du with deep meaning, and said, "You actually have a friendship with the Pirates in Ming. I admire you, admire you!"
The Pirate Head of Minghai was not a traitor since he was born. When he was on the shore in his early years, he had a close relationship with Wei Du's father, Wei Wenyuan, the Marquis of Guanzhong. Later, because he killed the whole family of elders in his family, he could only go to sea to become a bandit. With his extraordinary courage, he gradually got to the high position of the Pirate Head of Minghai. However, he did not break off contact with Wei Wenyuan in private. After Wei Du grew up, he had seen him several times, and the incisions in the world were also learned from this person. Later, the pirates of Minghai became more and more troubled, and they became the biggest bandit in the coastal areas. Wei Wenyuan claimed to be his identity and was unwilling to commit crimes. He was afraid that he would implicate his family and gradually became distant from the Pirate Head of Minghai. Instead, Wei Du was interested in getting close to him in recent years and gave some gifts during festivals. The two of them also worked together to do some business. So this time, the Shanzong was arranged to find a place to hide, and the Pirate Head of Minghai was looking for Wei Du, not Wei Wenyuan.
Wei Du's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you know the pirates too?" The so-called relationship is just like this. If you go around a few more circles, you might have been distant relatives five hundred years ago.
"The pirate leader Yan Qingzhou has a great reputation in the world, and it is difficult to recognize him!" The man suddenly asked, "Hi Pirates have also participated in the business you are doing?"
"Sometimes, it is troublesome to transport land, and it is easy to leak news. It is better to go north from the sea to Shaohaidu and then go shore directly in Qingzhou. But if you want to take this road, it is impossible to nod without the Yan Pirates' heads and nods..." Shaohai is the Bohai Sea. It was called Shaohai in ancient times, and it was always the Bohai Sea after the Yuan Dynasty.
"Since that's the case, it's better to ship it by sea. Why do you have to go by land?"
"It's different. Although sea transportation is convenient, but plagues occur frequently. It often costs five or sixty percent of the damage. It can only be used as a backup when land is unsafe."
The man nodded and said, "All walks through the sea, your roots are in the hands of the pirates. At that time, the other party asks for a lot of prices, but whether to follow or not? Therefore, it is wise to keep two lines in hand as bargaining chips for negotiations and will not be controlled by others."
"This... the husband is a clever look!"
Wei Du was stunned for a moment. He didn't think so far. Even if the sea transportation was damaged, it was told by others. His eyes rolled and he felt quite satisfied. He said, "There are so many clans in Jiangzuo, but I can speak well with Yan Tuoshou and be fully trusted by him."
The man smiled and said, "That's why they pulled you into the gang, right?"
Wei Du was shocked and said, "What... I didn't hear clearly..."
A flash of cold light.
Blood splashes everywhere!
Wei Du's thigh was cut, not deep or long, but his skin was exposed and blood was flowing, which looked very scary. Wei Du's face turned pale in an instant, his mouth opened, and his expression was painful, but he couldn't even make a sound.
"I said, my patience is limited. Hachiro, should I repeat the question just now? I forgot to tell you that if you don't stop the bleeding quickly, you will immediately feel dry mouth and tongue, then you will be dizzy, and your body seems to be sucked by some monster, until you see your skin shriveling and it's so painful. I just hate why you didn't die earlier."
"ah!"
Only then did Wei Du let out a pig-killing scream and said, "I...I said, I said everything... hurry up, stop the bleeding!"
The woman put away the knife and sneered: "No hurry, wait for him to answer the question first!"
"Yes, the man's cave is shining. They just like my friendship with Yan's thief, so they are willing to join me. Otherwise, He Jie's eyes are higher than the top and he will not look down on me at all!"
"He Jie? The fourth son of He Chun of Shanyin?"
"Yes, it's him! These things are controlled by him. If you want to participate, it won't work without him. Let me go, I will be responsible for talking about He Jie. We will make money together. Just make friends. Don't hurt my life!"
The man was silent for a moment, turned around, walked slowly to the corner, opened a black curtain, took the curtain fence on his head, and said, "Meng Jiaozuo, you have heard it, and you can also testify before the Lord in the future!"
Behind the curtain, there was a fake Mong Xingchun from the Sili Mansion Wohusi!
"Climbing mountains and ridges is like walking on flat ground?" Zuo Qi thought hard and said, "There are such a strange woman in Yangzhou, how could I never hear of it?"
Xu You smiled and said, "It may not be from Yangzhou. The world is so big. Zhu Rui is still martial. It is not surprising that he has a few friends from all over the world."
He Ru was not interested in these things and said, "Zhu Zhi has never done things that are unsure. Since he dares to design this way, he should be sure to make sure. When will Gu Yun's information be done?"
"I just received it today and sent it from Shangyu three days ago."
"Three days ago... If you do it, it will be only a few days!" He Ru narrowed his eyes, as if he could see what was happening to Shangyu from the reflection of the bright moon in the sky, and said: "Practice risks cannot be delayed for a long time. The faster the better. Shangyu is the territory of the Wei family after all, and it will change for a long time."
The Shanzong was most concerned about his life and death, and he asked: "Qilang, if he caught Wei Du and obtained evidence from him, what should he do next? He is the in-laws of the emperor, so it is not easy to mess with!"
"He is not easy to mess with, so Gu Yun and I gave Zhu Zhi an idea!"
"What's the idea?"
"The emperor has no family affairs, and his in-laws violate the national law, so the emperor will deal with it himself. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, at this moment, Meng Xingchun from Sili Mansion is with Zhu Zhi and others."
"Ah? Sili Mansion?" Shan Zong trembled all over and said, "Your husband is so calculating!"
Meng Xingchun looked at the man's eyes full of distress, and after a while, he said, "Mr. Zhu, you invited me to Shangyu, saying that you were treating me to dinner. It turned out that he had dug a hole in it, no, it was an abyss..."
The man was naturally Zhu Zhi. He bowed and said, "It is indeed very disrespectful to come to Shangyu, but it was also a helpless act by Zhu. Such a big case of affair with the north and the south involves He Wei. It is not a county or a state, and one family can be dealt with. Only the Sili Mansion Shang Tongtian listened, bears the power of the officials, and entrusted the envoys to intervene in theft without many taboos. It is a plan for Yangzhou, the common people, and the plan for our great Chu. I hope that the fake assistant will not be afraid of power, enforce the law impartially, and give justice to those who died unjustly!"
After taking off his big hat, Meng Xingchun could not stay out of the matter with no treacherousness. He knew in his heart that Zhu's actions today were obviously ready to go all out. As the main person in charge of the Sili Mansion to monitor Yangzhou, if he had such a case, it was inevitable that he would intervene. However, there were early and late intervention, and the timing should be paid attention to. If there were risks too early, it would be impossible for the wise to see the situation and the outcome. If it was too late, it would be difficult for the lord and the captain to question his ability and it would be difficult for him to get enough benefits among the Yangzhou clans.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of information and lag, he had lost the initiative to choose the opportunity to intervene and was forcibly pulled into this muddy water by Zhu Zhi. Since this was the case, Meng Xingchun no longer hesitated. With his understanding of An Zidao, he would definitely order the officer to punish him severely without lending.
Sili Mansion is the emperor's hawk, and naturally follows the emperor's will to do things!
He tidied up his clothes, walked slowly to Wei Du, smiled gently, and said, "Mr. Wei, you are rude!"
Wei Du did not recognize Meng Xingchun, and the woman was leaning over to apply medicine to stop bleeding. She asked weakly: "Who are you?"
Meng Xingchun untied the black robe outside, and Wei Du was stunned. No matter how ignorant he was, he recognized the official uniform of the Sili Mansion's Cold Tigers. He wore a brocade yellow slap and was embroidered on his chest and looked down at Qiongqi. He looked like a tiger, with wings on his back, which made people intimidated.
Qiongqi is one of the four evil beasts. It ruins faith, evil loyalty, adores bad words, and specializes in eating up upright and kind good people. The Sili Mansion uses this as the official uniform of the Chouhusi to alert and encourage oneself, and avoid turning against the right and wrong of the black and white.
"In Xiasilifu, the Wohusi of Meng Xingchun, came to investigate the case of privately plundering a good man in Yangzhou. Since Wei Langjun has confessed just now, please tell me all the matters in detail, don't hide them, and don't be lucky. If you don't cause trouble for me today, I will not make things difficult for you in the future. Do you understand?"
Wei Du blinked his eyes and saw Zhu Zhi and Zhu Rui. The woman did not take off Muli. She must have been a member of Zhu. She suddenly lost her temper and hung her head, as if she had lost her parents.
Out of the dark room, waiting for seven fast horses outside, Zhu Rui gave them seven secret letters, turned his head to look at Zhu Zhi, saw him nodding, and said in a deep voice: "The horses are not stopped, the people are not stopped, and if you miss the matter, you will bring your head to see you! Go!"
"promise!"
The horse's hooves ran away like thunder. The dust spread all over the sky. Meng Xingchun walked out in a black robe. He was choked by the dust. He coughed a few times and said, "Mr., then I will take Wei Du to take one step first?"
"No hurry, I'll clean up and go back to Wuxian with the fake assistant!"
"Okay, the Wohusi Department is not in sufficient staff. When I go to Shanyin to arrest He Jie, I need more help from Zhu!"
When the people from Fengming Villa discovered that Wei Du was missing, it was already noon. At first, they thought they were hiding some secret place and played some exciting things under the bed with Fengjiu. But they searched the entire villa without even a trace. Two maids came with Fengjiu. One of them looked panicked and showed their intimidation. After asking, they realized that Fengjiu took the opportunity of Xiaojie to change clothes with others and didn't know where to escape.
These people knew that something was wrong, and in a rage, they accidentally killed a maid, and the other one committed suicide by jumping into the cliff while the other was unprepared. In fact, they had long been determined to die and followed the mountain, but could not escape. They could just suffer less torture.
When Wei Wenxuan, the leader of the Wei clan, learned that Wei Du was robbed, it was already the beginning of Xu Shi after dusk. He didn't understand what was going on, but he thought that this matter would not be so simple. He immediately summoned Wei Wenyuan to inquire about Wei Du. Wei Wenyuan had eight children, only such a precious son, and was so anxious that he begged Wei Wenxuan to send someone to search the four sides immediately to ensure that Wei Du was safe and sound.
Wei Wenxuan shook his head and sent someone to put Wei Wenyuan under house arrest, not to go in and out at will. Then he ordered some things and took a few people to Wuxian overnight.
He knew in his heart that anyone who attacked the Wei family would have to pass through the Yangzhou governor's office in the end, so he didn't have to look far and wide. When he arrived in Wu County, the truth would naturally come out of the water!
However, from the time Wei Du disappeared to the time he left Shangyu, most of the opponents should do, what they could do, and what they had to do for a whole day and night.
The first move has been lost!
However, that doesn’t matter. When it comes later, when it comes first, it’s the key to using military force. Wei Wenxuan admires the latter saint Xunzi the most, and he is familiar with this sentence!
