At the foot of Jinji Mountain, Zhaobao Village.

There were dozens of tall horses at the beginning of the village, gathering dozens of strong men, each wearing a long sword, and even a few bird guns wrapped in blue cloth.

On the dock outside the village, more than a dozen large and small ships were ready to go. Wang Yizhi and Mao Haifeng pressed their swords at his waist and stared at the river.

"What happened?"

"Thank you Mr. Fang, I'll drink a bowl of herbal tea first."

The first sentence is Mao Haifeng with a hot temper, and the second sentence is Wang Yizhi.

"Something happened, but it has nothing to do with us." Qian Rui took the bowl and took a few sips. The sound of cicadas on the tree in his ears was heard, "It's so hot this year."

Wang Yizhi smiled and said, "It's not yet time to reach Huangmeitian, it will be cooler in a few days."

Qian Rui nodded and threw away the bowl and walked in. The village was full of Wang Zhi's family members. Although they were solemn, they could see a little panic. Some families were even piled up in small carts.

Walking further in, when we arrived at the gate of Wang's house, more than a hundred big men holding sharp blades were patrolling around, and Xu Bixi was waiting in the doorman with an anxious look on his face.

"Entertainment Father, Empty Father!"

"What are you shouting, you have no gains and losses." Wang Zhi was leisurely in the yard. He glanced at Qian Rui's expression before turning around and scolding Xu Bixi. "If the court is treacherous, it will take until today. If the Japanese pirates attack..."

"If the Japanese pirates come..." Xu Bixi blinked, "then..."

"That is a good thing for the old ship owner, for us." Qian Rui smiled and continued, "Chen Longquan insisted on alliance with the old ship owner, but he was just looking at the old ship owner across the sea... If there were new Japanese, he would naturally have to do his best."

"It's hard to say, the emperor will be the minister." Mao Haifeng muttered: "Ding Zhan, the deputy envoy of the Haidao, sent dozens of lucky ships, but Wang Min should have captured Ligang within a few years."

"One time and another time." Qian Rui smiled and pointed at Mao Haifeng, "What role was Ding Zhan, the deputy envoy of the Haidao in the past?"

Mao Haifeng was not convinced, "Listen to the chatting of the county people, Qian Yuan only has a free job in the capital and has no authority."

"Stop!" Wang Zhi slapped the table beside him, "If you are a father, you should call him 'Qian Longquan', but you have the courage to call him by his name!"

Mao Haifeng, Xu Bixi and Wang Yizhi were both stunned. When we were not outsiders, didn’t we all call that?

Wang Zhi grinned. There was no way to explain this. I can't say that Mr. Fang had a collusion with Qian Yuan, right?

"It's nothing to call him a name behind his back. As long as you don't want to face it, the Qian family guard has a bad temper." Qian Rui mentioned it and explained carefully: "Qian Zhan is a Shujishi. He only stayed in the Hanlin Academy for half a year and then transferred to the Censorate to inspect Zhejiang, but he is still a Hanlin Academy.

Although he is a free job now, he is in the Zhanshi Mansion and is considered a prime minister. Even if he cannot enter the cabinet, he can become the Minister of the Six Ministry as long as he accumulates his qualifications. After all, he is an old minister of His Majesty's residence, and he is in the heart of the emperor."

"I understand?" Wang Zhi waved his palm fan and lit Mao Haifeng. "After all, Qian Longquan is too young and is less than thirty years old, otherwise he would have been promoted long ago. Besides, although the scholars in Suiyuan are not old, they are all considered to be the old minister of His Majesty's residence... By the way, there is still that tall, tall..."

"Gaoyi Gao Zixiang, Qiantang, Hangzhou, whose daughter married Xu Wenchang the year before, was promoted to the priest of the Imperial College in Nanjing, and was successively promoted to the priest of the Taichang Temple in Nanjing. Two months ago, she was transferred to the Minister of Rites in Beijing and was also in charge of the Zhanshi Mansion." Qian Rui said in detail: "In addition, there are also Qian Gangsheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lu Pingquan, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, Pan Siming, and Huang Linyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"There are no ministers in a row..."

"You stupid guy, go out!" Wang Zhi cursed: "Qian Longquan is under thirty, can he suppress a great nine ministers?"

Xu Bixi smiled and said, "He hated Qian Longquan who played tricks on him several times back then, and was forced to go to Nanyang twice, and later he was forced to dig shepherd's purse in the middle of winter..."

"Ahem, okay, shut up, I think you are free to have a bird!"

Wang Zhi cursed a few times, turned his head and glanced at Qian Rui who was smiling... He didn't forget that Mao Haifeng was driven to dig shepherd's purse by Qian Yuan, and the guy turned around and pulled Fang Hong to dig together.

"I won't say these." Qian Rui added: "The biggest difference is that this time and then, the sea ban is opened for trading. This time, the Chinese Communist Party discussed the old ship owner, and the old ship owner was also named Jing Haibo. If the court wants to betray the old ship... aren't you afraid that the trade route will be cut off and the Japanese pirates will rise again?"

Wang Zhi nodded and said yes. He had already figured it out in the past few years. If the court had betrayed his faith, there would be no peace on the southeast coast... Moreover, Yu Zhifu was transferred to Guangdong in the south and Qi Yuanjing went to Jimen in the north, which also showed that the court did not intend to settle the accounts.

"It's still unstable." Mao Haifeng murmured: "Why don't your foster father go to Zhoushan to avoid?"

"Stop it!" Wang Zhi was too lazy to pay attention and asked, "Mr. Fang has taken the risk of crossing the river, can he verify it?"

"That's natural." Qian Rui looked at Wang Zhi calmly.

Both of them knew that Wang Zhi had noticed that Qian Rui and Qian Yuan had acquaintance a year ago, and Qian Rui also noticed that Wang Zhi had noticed this.

There was chaos at the mouth of the sea. Yang Wen led his troops to fight. Wang Zhi ordered Xu Bixi and others to organize their weapons, and at the same time... Before he could speak, Qian Rui volunteered to cross the river to explore the truth.

"Sir, what the hell is going on?"

"Yes, that guy Yang Wen has sent troops!"

"The iron cannon at the top of Weiyuan City is facing the sea estuary, but there are also those facing Jinjishan!"

Qian Rui smiled and took the palm-leaf fan and shook it, "It's nothing, it's not the Japanese pirates coming, nor the imperial court..."

After just starting out, Qian Rui couldn't help but burst into laughter, "It's just an internal fight."

"Infight?"

"Who fights with whom?"

Qian Rui said slowly: "A month ago, fifteen large ships entered Zhenhai. It took three days to transfer the goods alone, and the dock was filled. Sun Wenhe, the magistrate of Zhenhai, was so angry that he picked up a long sword and wanted to chop people... Remember?"

"Of course I remember, Huating Xu family." Xu Bixi snorted, "It's such a big show. I didn't want to give in after occupying the dock. I waited for the ship to transport goods from Hangzhou Haishi and other places for three consecutive days, and forced the sale in Zhenhai, which made Sun Wenhe furious. The old man Hai Rui was almost beaten by the servants of the Xu family."

Wang Zhi couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Fifteen big ships, and a few of them... I remember it came from the shipyard run by Qian Longquan back then, so it was so generous!"

"The shipyards all come out of warships, but the iron cannons were dismantled as cargo ships." Qian Rui shook his head and said, "That fleet lingered in Zhoushan, gathering nearly forty sea ships, and then set sail south. Today is the return journey."

"Just now, the families of Shanyin came to report that they encountered pirates on their way back from Nanyang. Other ships decisively threw goods into the sea and fled. Only the Xu family's fleet..."

Mao Haifeng smacked his lips, "It's really a matter of money but no life!"

"No, eight of the fifteen ships were lost, and the remaining seven were left to sell goods." Qian Rui spread his hands, "When he arrived at Zhoushan, the Xu family quit doing the business and insisted on other fleets to compensate!"

"Compensation?" Wang Zhi was stunned when he heard this. Going to sea to sell goods is a high-risk transaction. Can you still get your companions to compensate if you lose money?

"And then the fight started?"

"No, the remaining seven ships in the Xu Mansion chased them all the way to the estuary..."
