Return to the Qing Dynasty 87

The boy was calm and even felt a little embarrassed, "The disciple's adoptive father, I think my aunt should know."

"Who?" Yun Gu frowned, but remembered someone in her heart. She once heard that he had an adopted son, Ai Ruozhang, but she was in poor health and was placed in Qiongzhou. She said that the climate there was the most suitable for the child to recover from illness. She used some connections. Everyone in the church guessed that the child could be his illegitimate child.

Now that I look at this child again, I can't connect his gentle and handsome face with his gloomy face.

I was trying hard to deny it, but the boy's unique voice was still clearly heard. "The adoptive father's name was Xie Xiaqian. I heard his adoptive father mention his aunt, and I think he should know him."

It was indeed him.

If it were him, then there would be nothing strange about this. He is considered a living file of the White Lotus Sect, and there is nothing he doesn't know about the things in the sect.

"Isn't your adoptive father?" It is said that Xie Qian is dead. Now this child appears here to avenge him?

The third son was silent for a moment before saying, "The adoptive father is not dead yet. It was the brothers of the Cao Gang who discovered that the so-called dead body was a fraud..."

Yun Gu suddenly realized that when she looked at the child again, her eyes were not as intimate as before. She was a child and was very simple. If his adoptive father died, then there would be no problem. But if Xie Qianren did not die, then this would be a big problem. What did he say to go out? This is a big problem.

So many of the brothers and sisters in the church have been arrested. Is there any contribution from Xie Qian?

Not right.

But it is meaningless to pursue these things now. You can only know through this that there is no problem with the young man in front of you. He is Xie Qian's adopted son and has an inseparable relationship with the White Lotus Sect.

If he really concealed this section, she might have doubted the identity of the boy.

"He is willing to stand up for your adoptive father at this time, and he will not love you in vain." As he said that, he pretended to be unintentional and said that he was playing with Ma Gu when he was a child, and thanks to Xie Qian for twisting his feet.

The three sons looked honest and said that the adoptive father said that the scar on Aunt Ma's forehead was broken when she was playing with her. As for whether she twisted her feet, she didn't remember that the adoptive father said. Maybe it was because she forgot or didn't mention it.

Yun Gu smiled and no longer doubted, then she talked about the serious matter, "How many people are left you brought out?"

"Eighty-seven people." The third son glanced at Chen Da who was sitting and not moving, "The list is in Brother Chen's hands."

Yun Gu knew that this so-called list not only refers to the list, but also the things that everyone is good at, and they are recorded on it. Without this thing, it would be difficult to use people. But can you ask for it from Chen Da?

She smiled and said, "It's the same in anyone's hands."

Chen Da laughed and thought the woman was very tactful, "It's not that she refuses to give it to the girl, it's really a misunderstanding between us..."

Yun Gu understood that the main reason was that the Cao Gang did not trust the White Lotus Sect very much. Before, he used the 12th Master's hand to fool the Cao Gang into a lot of money, but in the end the matter was not so unresolved. It is said that the Cao Gang had several people involved in this regard. There is this misunderstanding that the two families lacked the foundation of trust, and it is probably not so easy to ask others to take action this time. If you take these people in your house, you will just come to your house to get benefits.

But at this point, it is impossible not to cooperate.

Yun Gu sat over, "Have Brother Chen seen a foreigner's boat?"

"Of course." Chen Da waved his hand, "It's incomparable to our ship." He looked disgusted.

Yun Gu choked, what's our ship? It's the ship of the court. Do you have the Cao Gang?

Thinking of this in my heart, I didn't look like a word on my face, but whispered: "I'm not talking about merchant ships, but the fleets of foreigners who were stopped outside Guangzhou Customs..."

What's the meaning?

Chen Dayi didn't understand Yun Gu's words in the first day.

Yun Gu then laughed and said, "Do you think, this foreigner is from afar and is coming across the ocean. Will that ship be an ordinary cargo ship?"

This is it!

Chen Da waved his hand, "I know this. Their ship is equipped with

The artillery is still far behind ours.”

This second-hand guy! Which one do you belong to?! With such a complacent tone, are you from the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty?

Yun Gu almost suppressed her temper and said in a good voice: "Yes! It's such a ship. They transported the cargo and wanted to do business with us, so they could only unload the cargo, but their ships, especially ships with cannons, are not allowed to dock. At sea, they have to be fed onto the prescribed ships, and their ships can only leave or float on the sea. If they want to get close, they have to dismantle their artillery and be inspected by the court's navy. Only after passing the qualification can they enter the offshore and then board 6. Brother Chen must have heard of this rule."

Of course this.

Chen Da still said in the same tone, "...This Tartar court is nothing else, it's just a beautiful thing to do! With weapons! How can you put people in casually? This is great, I, Chen Da, agree."

What you agree with or not is useless! Who knows which onion is Chen Da?

Now that I talk to him, I don’t know which end I am.

She decided not to talk to him and asked bluntly: "If I had this foreign artillery in my hand to equip the Cao Gang with ships, I wonder what Brother Chen thought?"

hiss!

Chen Dazheng looked at Mr. Ming with a slanted eye and imitated others to start stroking his beard. When he heard this, he couldn't help but tighten his hand and pulled off several beards.

Artillery!

This thing, "You really have it?" Chen Da asked with his eyes wide open.

Yun Gu's eyelids drooped and responded, "That's natural."

"How did it come from?" Chen Da looked over with some confusion, "Can you make any deals with foreigners?"

Yun Gu smiled: "Why do you think so? If you are not my race, your heart will be different! Even the White Lotus Sect of Manchu Tartars cannot tolerate it, so how can you be involved with foreigners? Besides, foreigners are far away from the other side of the ocean, and the distance between them is not just a thousand miles away? They are different from the Tartars. The great Ming Dynasty, the iron hoofs of the Tartars came in. But what about foreigners? Do you take a boat? How many boats will transport them thousands of troops? Our large territory and so many people are afraid of them. They are just merchants, profit-oriented merchants. As long as the price is given, what are you afraid of? You must know that who can cross the ocean to make money is not a person who is foolish to make money. After all, it is just silver."

This is somewhat reasonable.

Chen Da looked at Yun Gu, "How many of that thing do you have? What are you planning to call Cao Bang to do?"

"You can equip ten boats." Yun Gu gave a good price, "As for what you asked Cao Gang to do, it is actually not a big deal..."

Chen Da didn't accept this, "We still have anything to say, it's better to say things in our heads. It's impossible to have no conditions for such a high price. You'd better say it straight."

"If the Cao Gang can break a few boats on the way to the Tartar Emperor's patrol, stop it a little..." Yun Gu raised her eyes and smiled, "I think this is not difficult."

If this is the case, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But there are dozens of brothers who must suffer a lot and go to the prison for a while.

This woman was so mobilized, but it was not just about stopping the ship. The key was what she would do after stopping it. If she really did something big, he would become a sinner of the Cao Gang.

Perhaps knowing what Chen Da hesitated, Yun Gu smiled, "Actually, Brother Chen really can't bear to part with his brother!" As she said that, she looked at the third son, "The dozens of people in our White Lotus Sect are enough."

In this way, the Cao Gang only brought in more than a dozen fishing boats.

This is really not a loss for the Cao Gang. There are a few brothers in the gang who can't build ships. If you have a ship, not to mention a dozen, even if you have one, each person can get one hundred or eighty ships. The price is affordable.

If something really happens, I will just push you to 625. Anyway, the Cao Bang has its own shipyard and is doing business. Who would ask them what they want to do? Is this the truth?

Thinking of this, he agreed very quickly, "Then I will leave my three sons and brothers behind. What should I do to cooperate with me?

, Just look for three sons." As he said that, he stood up and seemed to remember it, and asked, "The artillery equipped with ten boats?"

"Give half of it first." Yun Gu said, then stood up, "There will be someone to contact you. I think there will always be a quiet place to transform these ships in this vast river."

"This is natural! This is natural." Chen Da was very satisfied and left almost with a smile on his face.

The third son looked at Aunt Yun, then at Mr. Ming, slowly lowered his head, and said respectfully: "It depends on the instructions of Aunt."

good!

Yun Gu called Sanzi to come to her and whispered in a low voice. Sanzi didn't show any extra expression on her face, but just nodded. Mr. Di Ming bowed his hand and turned around and left.

Mr. Ming looked at Yun Gu and smiled: "You woman is really amazing. You lied to me and came to deceive others again. You played with them all in your palms. Is it fun?" He reached out and pinched the woman's chin, "Be careful to play with fire**."

Yun Gu slapped his hand off, "Don't say that, you appeared too abruptly. At this time, I wanted to give orders to the White Lotus Sect's official account, it was still a little too early."

Mr. Ming did not mention this, but asked, "Where did your artillery come from? Don't use the words to fool Chen Da to fool me. I know you don't have much money at all. After finally having a little bit, I was deceived by the Fourth Prince. What are you going to buy artillery from foreigners?"

Yun Gu knew he would ask, and she had nothing to hide when it comes to this point, just said, "Of course I can give them what they want."

"What do they want?" Mr. Ming narrowed his eyes, "What have you promised others?"

Yun Gu sneered, "What? You are like Chen Da, and you think Manren is different from that foreigner? But in my opinion, there is no difference. They are not my tribe members! What does it mean in the art of war? Far and close attacks. Foreigners are far away, so they can cooperate with each other with confidence." She reached out and patted Mr. Ming, "Whether you agree or not, since this boat has been on, don't think about going down easily."

Mr. Ming looked at the woman's back as she left, his eyes darkened, and then slowly closed his eyes, and the regret in his heart almost filled with overwhelming scent.

what to do?

Is this boat really not able to get off?

His eyes slowly opened, but it might not be.

Hongli was stunned when he looked at the notes handed over by Wu Shulai, "What does it mean?" At this moment, Uncle Twelve gathered in such a fun time. Didn't it have agreed at the beginning? The two parted ways and no longer had to get involved with each other. But now they use the previous contact information to deliver letters to themselves. What are they planning to do?

He frowned, but he took it, slowly unfolded the note, then ignited it, and completely burned it to ashes.

Wu Shulai was a little worried: "Master, what happened?"

I don’t know yet. The man who claimed to be his slave of the Twelve Uncle only said that there was something important to talk about.

As for what is important, I will naturally not mention this letter that I don’t know if it can be sent to my hands.

Hongli lay down and went to see the Emperor Ama today, but was not allowed to meet him. He felt overwhelmed and didn't know what it felt like. He said that the Emperor Ama had awakened, but if he really woke up, why could he be so good? But if he didn't, it wasn't true, and he always felt something was wrong recently.

"Don't think too much." Wu Shulai covered his master's quilt, and then whispered: "Never see the third prince or the fifth prince today. Even Eunuch Su didn't come out."

Everyone’s treatment is the same, so don’t think too much, people will be scared to be wrong.

Hongli responded in ambiguously, "I'll call you earlier tomorrow..."

Wu Shulai answered in a low voice without asking the reason.

The Fourth Master did not sleep well in a strange place and got up early. He couldn't go out today. He always had to see all the officials in Jiangnan. The meaning of this is different from seeing him in the capital.

Su Peisheng said that when the Fourth Prince asked for a meeting, the Fourth Master was washing without any pause. He rinsed his mouth and said, "Call him and Hongshi Hongzhou with him, take Hongsheng and go to the Yangzhou academy together."
