Ningbo Port was already very lively in the early morning. Many ships had already prepared yesterday. Today, when the sun rose, they immediately stood up and left the port. After all, they had to arrive at the next port in a hurry and try to avoid sailing at night.

.

Among these ships leaving the port, there is a very ordinary appearance, but when the merchant ships around him see the ship, they all give way to the other party because the ship is hung with the banner of the Maritime Bureau, that is,

, This is an official ship collected taxes by the Maritime Bureau, and these merchants cannot afford to offend them.

However, the merchants who gave way did not know that there were no people from the Maritime Office on the ship. Except for the ship workers, they were all Jinyiwei and eunuchs. In the cabin, an old eunuch was sitting on the seat.

There, his face was full of resentful expressions. This person was Zhang Rui who asked Wang Gui for help from the capital.

Since losing power, Zhang Rui suffered a lot in the palace. That night, a little eunuch asked him to go out and told him a happy event, which was to transfer him out of the palace to do business.

When he first heard the news above, Zhang Rui was overjoyed and thought that his hard days had finally come to an end, but soon he felt something was wrong. After all, he offended Zhou Chong, who was the number one celebrity in front of His Majesty, and even

Even Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong have to curry favor with each other, so as long as the other party doesn’t speak, who dares to activate himself again?

Thinking of this, Zhang Rui immediately felt cold all over, and he thought that the matter of sending him out of the palace this time was unclear, and he did not say where he was asked to serve, nor did he say who promoted him.

, and what's even more strange is that he has seen the appointment to transfer him out of the palace just now, and there is no problem with everything. In other words, this appointment full of problems was handled through formal procedures.

Who has such great energy? In fact, Zhang Rui doesn't need to guess this question at all. Apart from Zhou Chong, who even wants to flatter Gu Dayong, there is probably only the emperor in the leopard room, but His Majesty

I don’t care about myself as a little person, so the only possibility is that Zhou Chong is doing something behind the scenes.

It was precisely because he guessed this. Zhang Rui suddenly became a little nervous, but he had no choice because the order was real and he could not disobey. Moreover, there were a few other ones with him this time.

The little eunuch, although these little eunuchs are called to serve, they are actually to monitor him. There is even a small team of Jinyiwei who is accompanying him. It can be said that the guards are very strict. He usually requires someone to follow him when he goes to the toilet.

"Zhou Chong, you made me have nothing at the beginning and I was bullied in the palace. But even so, you don't plan to let me go. Do you really want to kill me?" Zhang Rui, who was sitting in the cabin.

Suddenly he stood up and said in an angry and resentful tone.

He had almost no personal freedom along the way from the capital, but he endured all this, but what made Zhang Rui most uncomfortable is that he still didn't know why Zhou Chong had to spend so much effort to get it done.

Come to Ningbo Mansion? It is precisely this unknown about the future that Zhang Rui suffered a lot. During this period, he couldn't sleep or eat. He looked much older, and even had white hair on his head

All came out.

"Zhang Rui, your breakfast!" As Zhang Rui was walking back and forth in the cabin like a trapped beast, suddenly the door of the cabin opened, and a fat eunuch walked in with a food box and said, and after saying that

The food box in his hand was placed on the table and turned around and was about to leave.

"Please stay, please stay. I have something to say!" Seeing that the fat eunuch who was delivering food was about to leave, Zhang Rui immediately called out and said, "This fat eunuch is Niu, who is usually responsible for delivering food to himself, so it is considered

He is a more familiar eunuch.

"What's the matter?" Eunuch Niu stopped and asked when he heard this. However, the expression on his face was very cold, and he didn't seem to want to say too much to Zhang Rui.

"Eunuch Niu, I want to know where we are going and which father-in-law are we going to do things?" Zhang Rui said with a flattering look on his face. He really wants to know where these people are going to take him. Zhou Chong is again

How do you plan to deal with yourself? Although this person named Niu is just a food delivery person, he should know something.

After hearing this, Eunuch Niu looked up at Zhang Rui. Although he knew that Zhang Rui had lost power because he offended a noble person, and this time they were going to escort Zhang Rui to see the noble person, but they got along along the way.

After that, Zhang Rui was very respectful to him, and he was not as arrogant as the governor of the East Factory before. So for the sake of this incense, Eunuch Niu was not good enough to leave like this.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Niu sighed and said, "We have just left Ningbo Prefecture, and we are going to Shuangyu Port next. It is said that there were ports opened by some smuggling merchants in private, but now they have been re-introduced by the Admiral Zhou of Sihai.

Within the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, the military supervisor around the Admiral was the King of Emperor Wang!”

After saying these words, Eunuch Niu didn't care about Zhang Rui's reaction. He raised his legs and went out of the door, and closed the cabin door. Although he shouldn't have said this to Zhang Rui, they were about to reach the double.

It's Yugang, and Zhang Rui will definitely know it when the time comes, so it's nothing he can say it earlier.

"Shuangyu Port?" Zhang Rui was stunned when he heard this name, and then suddenly thought that he had heard someone say that Zhou Chong was originally a smuggling merchant, and the old nest he smuggled seemed to be the Shuangyu Port.

I was actually brought here.

"Shuangyu Port is Zhou Chong's old nest. Since he is here, the Bai sisters must be here too. In addition, there is... Qingqing, my daughter..." When Zhang Rui said this, he suddenly kept silent.

After entering the palace, he had no relatives in this world, but when he heard that his original wife Bai Junwan actually gave birth to a daughter for him, Zhang Rui couldn't help but feel a little turbulent. After all, he had a deep affection.

No matter how heartless he was, he still loved his daughter very much, but unfortunately Bai Junwan didn't let Qingqing recognize him as her father.

Thinking of Bai Junwan and his daughter Qingqing, Zhang Rui only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he seemed to understand something. If Zhou Chong wanted to kill him, he would probably die in the palace in one sentence.

There is no need to spend so much effort to bring him to Shuangyu Port, so the only explanation is that Zhou Chong does not want to kill him, and it is even likely that he was entrusted by Bai Junwan to bring him to Shuangyu Port because Bai Junwan

There must be many questions to ask yourself.

"It must be like this. It turns out that Junwan wants to see me, I...I..." After guessing the truth of the matter, Zhang Rui's face suddenly became panicked, and even a little scared, because he really didn't want to see Bai Junwan

Mother and daughter, especially in his current state of nothingness.

Perhaps in the eyes of Zhou Chong and other bystanders, even the victims of the Bai sisters, Zhang Rui is a beast that is worse than beasts. It would be fine if he abandoned his wife and became a eunuch, but after gaining power, Zhang Rui thought.

It is not only disgusting, but even worse than beasts to send Bai Junwan to the palace to win the favor of Emperor Zhengde.

But only Zhang Rui himself knew that he actually loved his wife very much and his daughter even more. But his love was different from others. Maybe Bai Junwan and others could not accept it, but Zhang Rui firmly believed that he did it for them

good.

But unfortunately, Zhang Rui's plan was very good, and he also realized his "love" to Bai Junwan step by step. However, Bai Junwan later ran away with her sister and daughter, which disrupted Zhang Rui in an instant.

The plan, coupled with Zhou Chong's intervention later, even knocked down the power he had finally obtained. The past glory was gone, and Zhang Rui had finally accumulated confidence into nothing, so he didn't want to

At this time, I met Bai Junwan and his daughter.

"No, I don't want to see them, I want to leave here!" Zhang Rui walked back and forth in the cabin like a trapped beast, and suddenly stopped and said in a panic.

After saying that, Zhang Rui looked at the cabin door. He knew that there were two Jinyiwei guards there, and he would never escape from there. Fortunately, there was a small window in the cabin. Zhang Rui immediately walked to the window.

In front, he reached out and pulled it but couldn't open it. After looking carefully, he found that the window was nailed to death with a nail. It seemed that these people had been on guard against him for escaping.

Seeing that even the only window that could escape was nailed to death, Zhang Rui was not discouraged. He only saw him rummaging through the cabin, hoping to find a tool to open the window, but those who were guarding him thought very much.

Zhoumi left him no tools at all.

Looking at the empty cabin, Zhang Rui was even more panicked when he thought of arriving at Shuangyu Port in two or three hours. He saw him quickly running to the window and checking it carefully, but found that the nails on the window were not

There were so many, and the nails were not very strict, which made Zhang Rui feel so good that he simply opened his mouth to bite the nail on the window. Unexpectedly, he actually bit off one of them, and the entire window was also somewhat moved.

There was a nail in his hand, and Zhang Rui finally saw a glimmer of hope. At that moment, he used nails as tools and pried up the nails on the window one by one. Finally, it took nearly an hour to finally lift all the nails on the window.

, The window can finally be opened, but when he opened the window, he saw a sea.

Zhang Rui is from the south and his family is relatively poor. Therefore, when he was a child, he often went to the river to fish. He knew some water quality, but it was just in a small river, like the sea in front of him. I guess even if Zhang Rui has good water quality, I am afraid that in the end

They will also be drowned.
