Chapter 372 Reunion (2)
The wind blew again in the outside room. Although the door of the house was closed, there was still a wind coming through the crack of the door. The oil lamp on the table was blowing and the lights were flashing. Qian Yuan stared at the candle flower in a daze.
"Brother, I won't go back, I'm afraid my father will be anxious, and others will be confused..." Qian Hong was a little anxious. This time he tried to persuade his mother to move and take the risk of coming to Huangyan County. He planned to go for four days, but it was already the third day.
Qian Yuan seemed to have not heard it, and he thought for a long time before whispering: "Brother wasn't curious before, why did I know everything?"
"The government has any suspicion among Japanese pirates?"
"To be precise, it was arranged by my uncle and I, but not the same person." Qian Yuan made up his mind. Relatively speaking, he trusted his father and brother more.
"My uncle is Tan Wei..."
"Second uncle?" Qian Hong's eyes widened, "Why don't I know?!"
"In the 25th year of Jiajing, my second uncle came to Huating. That time you were not here, I'm afraid he won't recognize you now." Qian Yuan explained: "I went to the sea that year. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, Ligang was destroyed. He was swept by Xu Hai. He didn't contact my uncle as a spy until last year."
After a pause, Qian Yuan added: "My second uncle's pseudonym is Tan Long..."
"Oh, I remember, it's an old Japanese man, I didn't recognize him. The last time I met my second uncle was in the 19th year of Jiajing, in Nanjing... At that time, my uncle was in the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue." Qian Hong rubbed his eyebrows, "The reputation is not very good, he is very slick in the battle, and he is very hard to grab things. He has been cursing Xu Hai for a while... He has sent all kinds of good things up, and many Japanese pirate leaders below were quite disdainful."
"This is a good thing, and I'm asking for it." Qian Yuan licked his lips, "It's because the person I installed is next to Xu Hai, you should know Wang Cuiqiao."
This time Qian Hong's eyes were almost falling out, "How is that possible?"
Qian Yuan continued calmly: "It is said that she should know a lot of secret matters when she sorted out the documents for Xu Hai."
"She should be half of Xu Hai's planner." Qian Hong swallowed, "But how could she be your eyeliner?"
Qian Yuan raised his glass and drank it all, "her parents, brothers, sisters and nephews are all in my hands."
He slapped the wine glass on the table heavily, and Qian Yuan whispered: "I will kill Xu Hai."
"Assassination?" Qian Hong shook his head, "If you are assassinating, not to mention whether you can succeed, even if you succeed, the Japanese pirates will definitely scatter all over the southeast, and there will be even more chaos."
Qian Yuan nodded. It is true that Xu Hai and Wang Zhi's existence greatly enhanced the military strength of the Japanese pirates, but at the same time it also had a certain binding force on the Japanese pirates.
At least, Xu Hai's invasion is traceable and will not invade Taizhou at the same time, and the two areas of Songjiang, one south and one north, but if the Japanese pirates scattered, anything could happen.
Judging from the local invasion by Japanese pirates, the former plundering is even more fierce, but the latter can cause serious political consequences.
Once the Japanese pirates invade everywhere, they may be considered by the important officials in the court and even Emperor Jiajing to be unfavorable to resist the Japanese. If the generals are replaced at the last minute, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
After hearing Qian Yuan's explanation, Qian Hong nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I will go back and discuss with my father. I will contact my second uncle and Wang Cuiqiao first. The former is not easy to deal with, but that woman... her father is still her and Xu Hai's matchmaker. Every time she goes to Xu Hai's house, she will come forward in person."
"No." Qian Yuan's response surprised Qian Hong.
"Don't contact Wang Cuiqiao." Qian Yuan paused a little and continued: "Don't contact my second uncle."
"Why?"
"Look at them." Qian Yuan's voice was a little low, "Don't show up until the critical moment."
"You are afraid that they will turn against each other... my second uncle probably won't..."
"Leave one more backup, who knows what will happen?" Qian Yuan stared at his brother's eyes and said sternly: "I'll tell my father when I go back."
After a while, Qian Hong responded in a silence. After four years of separation, he felt that he still liked the younger brother before.
"I left in the middle of the night, and there were boats at the pier. This time I came to Huangyan County to bring eight guards and picked two old men to take them away." Qian Yuan continued: "They all have families and rooms, so you can use them with confidence."
"Tell my father that because he encouraged Xu Hai and Wang Zhi to start a war, Yu Dayou, Lu Bin, and Qi Jiguang have been training the new army for more than a year. The day when Xu Hai was awarded the title of the head is not far away, but you can't be too hasty. In addition, don't break the line of Wang Zhi."
"Tell my father that there are many places that need his efforts in the future. Xu Hai's death will never mean peace in the southeast."
Qian Hong took a deep breath and nodded vigorously. This was what he was worried about. Once Xu Hai gave him the title, his father would probably...
"Tell my father that my mother and my younger sister miss him very much...I miss him very much..."
"Tell my father that I have married and I always ask my daughter-in-law to visit my father-in-law. My father should not be stingy..."
Qian Hong's eyes were wet and he barely smiled, "Not only my father, I also want to give my sister-in-law a gift. I have received a lot of good things in recent years. It is said that my sister-in-law is Xu Huating's granddaughter, but I'm afraid my vision is too high."
"At the beginning, my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were enemies, but now it's much better. Xiaoqi knows some medical skills. She cured her illness when Baliang got sick... Don't worry, it's just a minor illness, it's already cured."
"That's good, that's good... The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were indeed enemies in her previous life, and your sister-in-law was the same back then...but the mother was kind-hearted."
Qian Yuan saw that it was getting late, so he stopped talking about serious matters, but instead talked about idle things.
"Really?" Qian Hong laughed and said, "Since the war in Chongde, my brother's famous saying in the southeast, Xu Hai regarded me as a thorn in his eyes. My father was openly inquiring about the news. It was said that Qian Zhan personally cooked for Bo's mother. He really had a good cooking skills?"
"It's a pity that I'll leave later, otherwise I'll show my skills for my brother to try." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "I have also opened a restaurant in the capital, and there are many guests... By the way, your sister-in-law also likes delicious food."
"Haha, that matches a lot. Actually, you were picky when you were a child. Every time my father and I went out and came home and didn't bring you pastries, you just shook your face!" Qian Hong laughed and said, "By the way, your house in Hangzhou... actually took the name of the food garden. My father couldn't laugh or cry after he found out."
"That house is the Jin family building..." Qian Yuan nodded, "So that's what happened to him?"
"The news at sea is very blocked, and my father and I dare not inquire randomly. We don't know that Zhang Siwei and Jin Hong have already..." Qian Hong explained: "I brought seven or eight subordinates into Hangzhou and touched the food garden, but they happened to run into your sister-in-law."
"Fortunately I met my sister-in-law." Qian Yuan sighed: "At that time, not only were there guards in the food garden, but also the wife of Ning Shaotai General Qi Jiguang, who was there. Then he made an appointment at Lingyin Temple?"
"Yes, it's just that your sister-in-law and little sister came with food boxes with her wife to burn incense." Qian Hong licked her lips, "It tastes so strong, it's said that it was the seasoning you got?"
"Can pepper." Qian Yuan's expression darkened, "If it weren't for me... you and my father wouldn't have gone to Ligang."
"How can I blame you for this kind of thing? I just regret that my father and I don't know what we know." Qian Hong waved his hand, "I still remember my father. On weekdays, he lived in seclusion, but opened a vegetable garden, and all the plants were not found in the Ming Dynasty..."
"Oh?" Qian Yuan was overjoyed, "I have the chance to bring some seeds back. What's there... Is there any yellow one, so long, with grains on it..."
"Yes, Fanmai, but my father called him a golden rod!" Qian Hong grinned and said, "It's very beautiful, and there are also one kind of beautiful. One plant has fruits, and each one is red like a hawthorn, which is slightly larger, but it's full of juice when cut."
"Tomato?" Qian Yuan twitched twice. A few days ago, Xiaoqi had no appetite and even said he wanted to eat cold tomatoes.
Qian Hong said a few more, but Qian Yuan didn't guess what it was, and he was sure there were no sweet potatoes. I remember that this thing was regarded as a treasure because of its high yield, so I was afraid it would not be easily spread.
Just as the chat was getting hot, the knock on the door sounded, and Zhang San whispered outside: "Young Master, the time is almost over, and the dock is ready."
Qian Yuan looked at Qian Hong, tidied up his clothes and fell to the ground, "I can't go there in person, so I ask my brother to ask my father for help."
Qian Hong received the gift calmly and then picked up Qian Yuan. "I was a senior high school Jinshi in my twenties and entered the Hanlin Academy. I became famous all over the world. My future is unlimited. Although my brother and father are far away from overseas, they are also..."
Speaking of this, Qian Hong was a little choked. He knew very well that if there were no accidents, he and his father would never be able to walk on the land of the Ming Dynasty as their original identity in this life.
"Brother, why do you have to be a child?" Qian Yuan grabbed Qian Hong's arm and whispered: "I am inside, my brother and father are outside. When the day we can eliminate the Japanese pirates, we will be able to reunite our family."
