"Let me out! Let me out." An impatient shout came from the empty cell.

"This military master, we did nothing, just killed a few red-haired men, why did we lock us up? Please tell your general, we have suffered a huge injustice!" In the dim cell, a middle-aged man with bearded face kept shouting there, still shaking the unmoving prison door with force.

A prison officer sitting at the small table drinking some peanuts and wine was heard so noisy, and he was upset and stared at the cell where the middle-aged man was.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he saw the prison guard noticed him and hurriedly shouted: "This military master, the young men are really wronged! Please tell your general, please tell me!"

The prison officer sneered and said, "You turtle, you see my low position, and mock me, right? Are those generals we prison officers able to see? You just want to lose your mind. Besides, the one who entered this cell did not say that he was wronged. If he was really wronged, go and tell the King of Hell. Don't shout here, and it's a big deal to make the uncle's interest in drinking."

"This military master, we are really wronged!" The man shouted again.

The prison officer was immediately furious, slapped the table, took a whip from the wall, walked straight to the cell where the man was, and whipped hard at the middle-aged man's hand that grabbed the prison door, shouting: "Kill your mother, don't want to live anymore, right? I won't be honest with me when I'm at my territory. I have to give you some good looks. If I dare to shout poorly, I will let you have a full whip!"

The middle-aged man felt ache in his hands and stopped talking. No one was willing to do such a thing that he had to suffer!

When the prison officer saw that the man had settled down, he walked away cursingly. But the man's eyes remained.

"Float, stop calling, it's useless to call. This time I'm the one who has implicated everyone!" Shang Di next to him said faintly behind him, revealing a lot of sadness in his words.

Shangdi, Zheng Zhilong and others were also unlucky. They finally risked their lives to kill several Dutch red hairs, and they almost died in the end. They thought they were rescued by the Ming Dynasty's official army, but they did not expect that what they were waiting for was the crime of affair with the red hairs. They did not allow them to say anything and were directly imprisoned in this prison. They did not interrogate them for seven or eight days, and they did not interrogate them or let them go, which made the men so anxious that they were anxious.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the decadent look on everyone's face and said, "Don't worry, my Zheng family still has some tricks in Quanzhou. In a few days, I will definitely find a way to get us out!"

However, such comforting words had no effect, but instead aroused the sadness of everyone. When everyone heard Zheng Zhilong's words, they replied: "Yiguan, you have said this dozens of times, but now you don't even see the figure in your family. I guess the outside knows our whereabouts. Maybe they think we were plundered by those red hairs. Now, there are so many red hair goods in our store. If we are really charged with this crime of having sex with red hair, we will probably have to cut off all our heads."

As soon as this man said this, everyone in the prison suddenly stopped and began to remain silent.

The sunless prison cell was silent, only the slight wailing sound came from the torture room, and the sound of the serious criminal in the prison dragging the iron chains as he walked. Time passed so slowly at this moment, as if a century had passed.

The footsteps of a group of people slowly approached Shangdi and Zheng Zhilong's cell. Then there was a sound of fiddling iron chains and opening the copper locks. Everyone looked at the door of the prison and saw the prison guard just now open the prison door with a serious expression, and there were more than a dozen constables holding iron chains standing behind him.

At this time, the prison guard said coldly: "Get up quickly and line up, lock the chains and go out for me."

After saying that, he pushed open the prison door and said, "Your number one person is really useful when you shout just now. I didn't expect you to be sure that you really got it. This time, you are lucky. The imperial envoy from the capital has just arrived in our Quanzhou Prefecture. When he heard that there were criminals who had an affair with red hair, he would interrogate you in person!"

Shang Di was ecstatic when he heard this. If this was the magistrate of Quanzhou, he would probably have been charged with the crime of affair with Hongmao. Even if he resisted it, he would have suffered only flesh and blood. Now he is the imperial envoy from the capital, which is a good opportunity.

So he immediately asked happily: "This military master, is the imperial envoy really the interrogation envoy?"

"Kill your mother, I'm lying to you, but I'm just useless to be happy. I've long known what happened to you. I've been stolen and beheaded, and I'm sure I can't escape. I'll see if you go to court later, I'll pour beans into bamboo tubes. Be honest and explain to you so that you won't suffer the flesh and blood." The prison guard couldn't help but slap his joy when he saw Shangdi's joy.

"Come in line for me quickly, the imperial envoy is waiting there!" The prison officer saw that everyone was dragging his feet, so he went up to face a few slow guys.

After seeing this situation, Zheng Zhilong immediately burst into anger again and thought about rushing up!

Shang Di grabbed Zheng Zhilong, who was about to be thrust, and cursed softly: "One official, don't cause trouble! Now he is impulsive and seeking trouble!"

…………

Feng Luoyun sat high in the lobby of the prefect's office. Looking at the officials under him who were crazy about the victory in the Anping Port Battle, he couldn't help but look down on him, thinking that he didn't know anything. He spent five days rushing to Fujian from the capital and meeting the Fujian governor Nan Juyi in Fuzhou. He had a preliminary understanding of this situation. Although he obviously knew that there were many untrue things in Nan Juyi's words, he did not reveal them. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Quanzhou, what the Quanzhou prefect said was even more exaggerated. It seemed that Nan Juyi had not turned his head yet. Compared with what the Quanzhou prefect said, it was more true.

When the prefect saw Feng Luoyun's distracted look at him, he knew that he had said too much, but this was the unspoken rule of the officialdom. Anyway, if he had a false report from his subordinates, he could get rid of it. And if he waited to give some money to please Feng Luoyun's happiness, Feng Luoyun's memorial was handed over to the emperor, he might have to be promoted and made a fortune.

"Sir, the criminal has been brought!" a yamen runner reported in the lobby.

At this time, Feng Luoyun saw several constables bringing up a dozen ragged sailors with haggard expressions, each with a dull expression on his face.

"Master Feng, these are the criminals who accused the Red Hair who were caught in the last Battle of Anping Port! At that time, a large number of Red Hair goods were found in their goods!" The prefect saw that Shang Di and Zheng Zhilong were brought up, so he quickly said to Feng Luoyun, so that Feng Luoyun would have a preconceived impression.

In fact, it was also a bit of Shangdi and Zheng Zhilong for being unlucky. The Ming army in Fujian garrison was slack in its military equipment, and the reaction time was particularly slow, and its combat effectiveness was not good. Although we arrived at Anping Port later, we just met those red hairs surrounding Shangdi and Zheng Zhilong and others, and we started fighting immediately. Although the Dutch retreated immediately, the Ming army did not take any advantage. In total, dozens of Dutch red hairs were killed, and hundreds of them were killed. Moreover, the Dutch bodies were all taken away by the Dutch, and there was no spoil. Fortunately, they finally found Shangdi and Zheng Zhilong. So in this era when military merits were prevalent, the Dutch killed by Shangdi and Zheng Zhilong naturally became the spoils of the Ming army. Shangdi and Zheng Zhilong were also successfully organized by Liu Gongfu into bandits who had an affair with Red Hair.

Feng Luoyun turned to look at the prefect after hearing the prefect's words, and saw that Shang Di and Zheng Zhilong were already surprised, angry, helpless after hearing the prefect's words! Then he said, "Prince Liu, have these prisoners interrogated?"

The prefect Liu was obviously a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he quickly replied: "Mr. Imperial Commander, Xiaguan is busy rectifying defense and relocating the robbed merchants in Anping Port. It is still time to interrogate! However, at that time, both people and stolen goods were obtained and the evidence was conclusive. Xiaguan was temporarily detained in prison. When the military situation is no longer urgent, the interrogation will be interrogated!"

Shangdi was shocked when he heard the words of the prefect Liu. When the Ming army arrived at his side, he didn't say anything, so he arrested himself, Zheng Zhilong and others, and did not sue him or release him. It turned out that he had already arranged the charges for himself and immediately said: "Sir, the imperial envoy, the people are wronged! We are bandits who have affair with red hair. We are just merchants who are doing small business. How do we affair with those Dutch red hairs?"

The Master Liu immediately replied: "Businessman, how did you come from so many red-haired goods? And why didn't the red-haired men kill you at that time? The merchants in Anping Port were all running away cleanly, and only you. If it weren't for the soldiers from our garrison going to rescue, you would probably have been strongly shining with those red-haired men in the entire Anping Port!"

Shang Di was immediately anxious when he heard this. He did not expect that he had not died in the store and became evidence of his affair with the red hair. He quickly shouted: "Sir, Cao Min was forced into such a thing by those red hairs. My merchant ship was also sunk by those red hairs. There was another brother in the ship who was blown to death by those red hairs!"

"It seems that's not the case. When General Hong went to Anping Port for rescue, he captured you in that store. At the same time, he killed a few red hairs with you and captured one red hair alive. What else do you have to say?" Liu Zhifu thought to himself that I had a red hair captive in my hand, and the most important red hair seemed to suffer from apathy and couldn't understand anything he said. But just so, his statement became more convincing. I had evidence, so it was useless for you to argue.

Feng Luoyun was obviously convinced by the words of the prefect Liu, but he thought there were still prisoners. Although he was not very clear about it, he could still meet him, so he said, "Take that Dutch prisoner up to me and see me!"

Master Liu thought to himself that he was just a madman, and was afraid that you would ask something, so he said a few words to several constables. After a while, he brought a red-haired and blue-eyed Dutchman up, and his head was wrapped with thick white cloth, and blood still oozed out of it. Moreover, this man was wearing a prison uniform with a large prison word on it, which combined with the appearance of the Dutchman, and it felt like time and space was confused.

Zheng Zhilong just heard the captive of the Dutch Red Hair captive, and was still wondering who this person was. When the captive came up, he couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud. Feng Luoyun saw that Zheng Zhilong dared to laugh here, and couldn't help but feel angry. He was about to be ruthless, but something happened.

It turned out that this prisoner was the one who hit the sword that Zheng Zhilong threw out. He fell to the knife and fainted. After waking up, he became nervous and said something messy and birds every day. The translators whom Liu Magistrate invited to understand Dutch were very troubled, so that the prefect Liu Magistrate dared to pull the prisoner to the court here. Unexpectedly, the captain probably had a deep impression of Shangdi, Zheng Zhilong and others. As soon as he saw Shangdi and Zheng Zhilong, he began to panic, and kept talking birds, which made Feng Luoyun confused.

Feng Luoyun saw the Dutchman in the lobby and turned to look at the prefect Liu. The prefect Liu laughed in his heart and quickly replied: "Master Feng, this person was hit on the head by our soldiers before he was captured. Now he is a little mentally abnormal. This excitement is probably because he was excited to see his own people!" Prefect Liu is worthy of being a master in the officialdom. As soon as the topic changed, he put the charges on Shangdi and Zheng Zhilong again.

However, if Feng Luoyun is so easy to deceive, it would be a joke. As the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, Feng Luoyun is a clerk who is proficient in nonsense and nonsense. This time he came to Fujian with the order, he had already prepared to talk to the Dutch, so he specially brought several masters from the Ministry of Rites who were proficient in Dutch. At this time, a master story behind Feng Luoyun came to Feng Luoyun's ear and said softly: "Master Feng, this Dutch is talking about God! The murderer, the devil! It seems that he is still calling for a head!"

Feng Luoyun became surprised when he heard this. Then he thought that he understood the key to the problem, and said to Shang Di, Zheng Zhilong and others: "Today, the Japanese imperial envoy will give you a chance. You will tell me about everything you have in Anping Port that day! This imperial envoy will not believe in one-sided words!" After that, he stared at the prefect Liu.

When the prefect Liu saw that something was going to be bad, he immediately said, "Master Feng..."

Feng Luoyun interrupted Liu's prefect and said, "Prince Liu, can you wait until these prisoners finish talking?"

Shangdi was so surprised that he was beyond words when he heard this. He knew that he was really saved this time. So he exchanged eyes with everyone, paused his throat, and began to say: "Caomin Shangdi and Zheng Zhilong bought a boat to do some small business... But when they arrived at Anping Port, they happened to encounter these red-haired men sneak attacking the port.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Shangdi is now performing his best. Shangdi, who usually speaks vulgarly, actually speaks every word today, lively and vivid, and Feng Luoyun is also very happy to hear it. Especially when talking about the thrilling scene in the store, Feng Luoyun still interrupts Shangdi excitedly and asks a few small questions. When the story is finished, the people in the lobby also understand the result of the case from Feng Luoyun's expression, and Liu Magistrate Liu stopped talking.

Feng Luoyun had long suspected that these sailors had accused of having affair with Hongmao. Now, listening to Shangdi's vivid narrative, he immediately made the whole story clear. It turned out that he was a trick of taking military achievements and framed the blame. He felt sad. The Dutch people came here to the door. The entire Anping Port was looted, and hundreds of merchant ships were either sunk or burned down. It was such a tragedy. These local officials were still whitewashing the peace. No wonder these Dutch people dared to come to the door.

So Feng Luoyun looked at the prefect Liu and said lightly: "Prince Liu, why is it different from what you said! Who should I listen to?"

Master Liu was also a slick person. He knew from the beginning that the matter was exposed, but he was not afraid. These things are common in the officialdom. It is common for the government to catch and kill mistakenly. If you find a reason to make excuses, you will be done. Then he quickly said: "Master Feng, this official has never interrogated these criminals, and the evidence of those crimes is reported to me by subordinates. I will definitely send someone to investigate carefully and resolutely not accuse innocent people!"

Feng Luoyun's mission this time is to urge the recovery of Penghu. As for the reversal of unjust, false and wrong cases, it is not the main business, and he is even more unwilling to offend local officials because of these irrelevant major events. He no longer entangled with the prefect of Liu. He still has to give these local tyrants some face, and said: "In this way, Prefect Liu must carefully investigate these corrupt officials, always deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates. Since there is no evidence and cannot be convicted, how should these prisoners deal with it!"

The prefect Liu cursed in his heart. Isn’t this obvious, and he said embarrassedly: “Since there is no evidence, I will be detained in the cell first…oh… I will be released without acquittal, and I will be released immediately!” When the prefect Liu said that he was detained by the cell, he saw Feng Luoyun’s face sinking violently, and immediately changed his words to be released without acquittal.
