Yaoyao drove Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang quickly to the vicinity of the boat that was about to sink.

There were several people on the boat, all gathered together, and some of them were injured.

Zhan Zhao saw a purple orchid pattern on the broken sail.

Bai Yutang said, "He is a fisherman from Zilan Island."

Zilan Island is a very small island and belongs to the Zilan Fishing Ground. Its main business is clam farming and pearl fishing. Especially the purple sea pearls produced by the fishing ground every year are in short supply.

On the boat, a young man in black with a sword looked up and saw Bai Yutang on the dragon's back. He quickly shouted, "Fifth Master! Fifth Master!"

Bai Yutang nodded to him.

Yaoyao did not land on the ship, but fell directly onto the sea.

Almost at the same time, many sea pigs and kun gathered nearby to help hold up the ship that was about to sink.

Soon, the ship from Xingkong Island arrived.

Everyone helped transfer all the wounded on the ship to the big ship.

After the Kun group dispersed, the Zilan Fishing Boat also sank.

It was the first time for Zhan Zhao and the others to see a large ship sink. Although the ship was not particularly large, it was still quite shocking when it sank.

Several people on the Purple Island boat were injured.

Gongsun treated their wounds and found that they were all injuries from explosions and burns, so he asked what was going on.

The young man in black who was talking to Bai Yutang just now is called Zi Xin, and he is the young master of Purple Orchid Island.

Zi Xin said that they originally came to see Kun together. The weather was nice today and it was quite pleasant. Who knew that as soon as they arrived near here, something suddenly hit the bottom of the boat. It made a thumping sound and vibrated. They thought it was a sea pig at first.

I was playing naughty with them, and I saw something like a fish tail swimming away. I was wondering, and suddenly the bottom of the boat exploded! Later, the boat sank, and some wine was stored in the cabin. When it exploded, all the wine was spilled, and the fire

When the heart falls on wine, the boat is on fire...

The more Zi Xin thought about it, the weirder she became, "Those people with human bodies and fish tails were something, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye... There were no other boats within a few miles! If they were pretending to be people, how could they swim like that?"

Far!"

After hearing Zi Xin's description, everyone raised their heads and looked into the distance... Indeed, the sea was calm and there were no other ships. If it was a sea monster disguised as a sea monster, how could it swim in the water for so long?

"How big is that thing you saw?" Everyone asked Zi Xin.

Zi Xin thought for a while and said, "It's almost like a human being."

Zixin was born on the island since she was a child. She waved her hand and said, "They are definitely pretending! They can't be sea monsters! They must have been responsible for the recent shipwrecks!"

After sending everyone on Purple Orchid Island ashore, we first found a place for them to recuperate.

Chen Hui and others from the He League also came, and everyone gathered in the meeting hall of Xiankong Island for a meeting to discuss this matter.

There are two doubts at the moment. One is how this group of people got close to the ship, and the other is what is the purpose of doing this.

Zhan Zhao and the others have been on Xingkong Island for a while. After resting for a long time and recuperating, they feel it’s time to do something serious to help everyone!

But where should we start now? In the vast sea, can we just rely on these few landlubbers?

In the next few days, several shipwrecks occurred in succession, and now everyone could not sit still.

On this day, someone came to deliver a letter to Uncle Lu.

Lu Fang opened the letter, read it, and frowned.

After calling some brothers over, Uncle Lu took out the letter and showed it to everyone.

It turns out that because ships have been frequently harassed by sea monsters recently, someone has called on people from various islands and villages in the River Gang and Water League to come to Songjiang Mansion to discuss matters and discuss joint efforts against the enemy.

Zhan Zhao thought this was a good idea, but he saw Lu Fang and the other island owners frowning, and their faces seemed a little upset.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

In fact, the Fifth Master doesn't care much about the affairs of Xiankong Island, but he has heard about it at least - the islands and villages of the Hebang Water Alliance, although the names sound quite united, in fact, not all families have a particularly deep friendship.

.And some of them are mainly inland rivers, some are mainly open seas, some are for transportation, some are fishing, some are cultured, and some even just sell sea salt and produce pearls... In short, we rely on the sea to eat and rely on the sea.

Rivers eat rivers, each has its own differences and circumstances. If you have to organize yourself, it is inevitable that you will end up forming cliques, and it is not good to have too many things.

Zhao Zhen had been accompanying Concubine Pang in the mountains these past few days. Today he came down to have breakfast and join in the fun at the council hall.

After hearing Brother Lu read the letter, the emperor suddenly laughed.

Everyone looked at him.

Zhao Zhen held his chin with one hand and patted Lu Fang's shoulder with the other, "It seems... he's like the third child again."

Brother Lu seemed to understand what Zhao Zhen meant. He sighed and shook his head, "It might as well be a real sea monster!"

"What kind of third child?" Zhan Zhao was a little curious.

Zhao Zhen asked Zhan Zhao, "Does Guard Zhan know about the predecessor of the He Gang Water League?"

Zhan Zhao nodded. In the past, the Hebang Water League was so large that it owned all corners of the country. It was not the same concept as it is now. At that time, the head of the Hebang Water League was Aunt Huang and Huang Yuelin from the Demon Palace. Don’t look at Aunt Huang’s usual confusion.

He is silly, chubby and cute, and once he gets into the water, he will be the Dragon King! Back then, the River Gang Water Alliance was so united mainly to resist pirates and grab territory, which even the emperor did not give face to.

Zhao Zhen held a tea cup with two fingers and shook it while he said slowly, "The late emperor worked hard to dismantle the Hebang Water Alliance. It was not easy to break it down into the current state with relatively balanced strength.

Guarantee the prosperity and stability along the southeast coast. Now that He Qing, Haiyan and the world are at peace, will the good life just mean that we have to start looking for trouble again? I have decreed that the yamen in the southeast area and the various supervisory and transfer envoys will be responsible for it.

If anyone dares to organize various water village island alliances, it is tantamount to rebellion."

Zhao Zhen held out three fingers and said, "Fishing, transportation, and sea salt must be decided by the court. As long as we don't organize an alliance and everyone can do business as they please, the Yamen will ensure order, safety and fairness. But whoever dares to organize will be treason."

. Are there pirates? There are water fortresses along the two Zhejiang roads. There are hundreds of thousands of navy troops. How many pirates can be defeated. Everyone wants to have the final say. The consequence is that no one can have a good life. Huang Yuelin only appeared in troubled times.

, as soon as the time of peace and prosperity comes, people will immediately put down their clothes and go away, this is the understanding person."

Lu Fang also sighed, "There are just some people who don't want to live a pure life..."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "It can be seen that it is not a sea monster, but someone acting as a monster."

Brother Lu nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zhen put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Zhao Pu with a smile, "Uncle Jiu, let's catch the rebels?"

Zhao Pu looked at Zhao Zhen speechlessly.

Behind Zhao Zhen, Nangong kept shaking his head, his eyes making Zhan Zhao and the others feel a little distressed.

Zhao Pu also said, "If you can't find the truth, I can just take someone there."

"That won't work!" Zhao Zhen finally caught the opportunity and refused to let it go. "I want to see who is seeking death and dares to make trouble here!"

…

After leaving the meeting hall, everyone was discussing what happened this time.

Zhan Zhao is usually sensitive to murder cases, but not too keen on intrigues. In fact, Bai Yutang is not very good at this either. It mainly has to do with the environment in which they grew up. Are they smart? Of course they are.

Bingxue is smart, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has a lot of heart. But the problem is that they grew up in a relatively "simple" environment, and most of the elders around them love and care for them, so they are not interested in fighting for power and intrigues.

All lack experience.

After listening to what Zhao Zhen said just now, Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "So this time the sea monster attacked the Kun Kun boat, someone deliberately created chaos. The purpose was to organize all the villages and islands of the He Gang Water League.

Form the same large-scale water alliance as before to fight against the imperial court?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Maybe, but the question is...can it succeed?"

Zhan Zhao also nodded, "Indeed, the imperial court has repeatedly issued orders to prohibit things, and life is going well now. Why should the country be peaceful and the people be safe?"

Bai Yutang also nodded, "No one is stupid! The pirates in the offshore areas have been wiped out by the navy. Now when we go out to fish, as long as there are so many fleets together, no pirates dare to approach."

On the other side, Zhao Pu and the others are also discussing this matter.

Gongsun asked Zhao Pu the same question that Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

Zhao Pu's answer was similar to Bai Yutang's, but the Ninth Prince was more familiar with the tactics of power and scheming, so he felt that this might not be the case.

"If someone really caused the sea monster attack for such a purpose, then it would be a bit wishful thinking." Zhao Pu said, "Brother Lu will smell a letter, and the heads of other island villages are not stupid either.

, formed an alliance, and in the end, I changed from a good island owner to a follower of the alliance leader. At first, everyone was doing their own thing, and now they have to hand over part of their interests. Why bother? The imperial court did not affect their business. On the contrary.

, the Navy and the Yamen will help maintain order at sea, it will be great for everyone to live with peace of mind!"

"Then why do you want to do this?" Gongsun asked.

"Maybe...someone does want to cause trouble, but it may not be what we think."

…

"Any other plans?" Lin Yehuo asked Zou Liang.

The two Zhejiang naval forces were actually soldiers and horses subordinate to Zou Liang.

Zou Liang also told Lin Yehuo that he felt that it was not someone who wanted to rebel, but that there might be other plans. If there was a rebellion, this method would be too cheap and whimsical.

…

After receiving the letter, Lu Fang and Chen Hui were both curious as to who had called for this meeting in Songjiang Mansion.

After many inquiries, it was found that three places were called upon this time: Wujiazhai, Longting Island, and Sanjitan.
