His Highness the Crown Prince visited the government office jail. This was something that Prison Mei had never dared to think about before.

In his impression, people like Zheng Jing who sing and eat in the cauldron all day should be surrounded by others and live an extremely luxurious life.

How could such a person be willing to go to the gloomy, damp and dim cell?

But he saw it with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Zheng Jing entered the cell surrounded by a group of personal guards.

Prefect Mei immediately followed behind.

The two "Japanese pirates" were imprisoned by Zheng Jing's men in the government jail, so they naturally went to ask for help.

Prefect Mei originally wanted to remind Zheng Jing to pay attention to safety, but when he thought that these two spies must have been shackled and Zheng Jing had so many guards around him, there should be no problem with safety, so he gave up.

Someone had already brought a chair for Zheng Jing, but Zheng Jing was not polite, so he lifted up the hem of the robe and sat down directly.

"Take the criminal!"

A moment later, two ragged prisoners were taken out.

Their faces were full of fear, and they knelt on the ground and buried their heads, and they didn't dare to show off.

Zheng Jing couldn't help but frown.

These two people are too cowardly.

"Raise your head."

Zheng Jing's voice was filled with an unquestionable prestige, and the two raised their heads tremblingly.

These two people are not others, they are Tiezhu and Erniu.

They escaped from Xiaolangyu and rowed directly to Quanzhou Port.

After finally arriving at Quanzhou Port, they were caught by patrolling Ming soldiers as soon as they got ashore.

The officers and soldiers determined that they were Japanese pirates, and without any explanation, they tied them up and escorted them to the government jail.

Although the two kept calling for justice on the way, the officers and soldiers did not listen at all.

"Are you spies of Japanese pirates?"

Zheng Jing was not angry and was so powerful that he was so scared that he cried and called his parents.

"Sir, please be clear. We are all local fishermen, so how could we be spies of Japanese pirates?"

Tiezhu and Erniu shouted injustice together.

But they concealed the fact that they were captured by Japanese pirates and went to Xiaolangyu, and called for justice based on the idea that it was better to have less than more things.

After all, they lived with the Japanese pirates for a long time. If this adult concludes that they are spies of the Japanese pirates, they will not be able to clean up even if they jump into the sea.

"Sir, we are all fishermen who are dedicated and can't be Japanese pirates."

"Rareless, this is the prince of Prince Zhong, you should call him Your Highness."

Prefect Mei stepped forward and scolded.

Zheng Jing raised his hand and signaled that Prefect Mei would not make any fuss.

"Forget it, I'll ask you, I'll say you are fishermen. But where did fishermen come back from the sea in the middle of the night?"

As soon as they said this, the two of them were mute and couldn't say anything about the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.

This is really an expert. Although the fishermen work hard, they usually come back before dark or just travel far away to the sea a few days later. There is indeed no reason to come back late at night.

But they have already said everything, so they can't take it back, it's too much.

"This, this..."

"You can't tell me, you can't tell me, it's confirmed that you are Japanese pirates."

Prefect Mei stepped forward and scolded.

"Sir, you know how to tell me, and the prince. We are really local fishermen."

Seeing that the situation was a little bad, Erzhu said everything in order to prove his innocence, and he said everything in a ruthless way.

Zheng Jing couldn't help but lit up when he heard this.

He just said that he felt that the two of them had extraordinary identities, not just as simple as fishermen, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

Sure enough, the two of them have something to do with the Japanese pirates, but they are not spies of the Japanese pirates, but people who were kidnapped by the Japanese pirates.

"According to what you said, there are still many people on this small Langyu Island that have been kidnapped by Japanese pirates."

"That's true if you go back to the prince."

Erzhu sighed and said, "We are all local fishermen, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden Japanese attack. We were all captured and plundered on the island. The Japanese pirates are really not humans. They treat us as cattle and horses, and scold us in every way. If they don't like them, they will whip us with a whip. The villain is now covered with blood marks."

After saying that, Erzhu lifted up his robe and saw scarlet blood rafters very conspicuous, like earthworms.

Zheng Jing swallowed a mouthful of foam, making himself calm.

"You just said that there are Japanese pirates stationed on this small Lang Island. How many people are there?"

"If you go back to the prince, there should be hundreds of people, but no more than a thousand."

Zheng Jing thought in his heart that the Japanese stricken areas in Fujian should be like this.

Although there were many Japanese pirates, they were basically hundreds of groups. They occupied an island as their nest and plundered in the surrounding waters.

Whether it is the local people or merchant ships, they basically cannot escape when they encounter Japanese pirates, and they can only become fish and meat that can be slaughtered.

If the official army wants to cure the Japanese disaster, it needs to plow the courtyard and clean the caves and pull out the nests of these Japanese pirates.

Zheng Jing is a very realistic person. After he figures out the truth of the matter, he will immediately make targeted arrangements based on the situation.

In his opinion, Erzhu and Tie Niu are very useful. After all, they know the exact location of Xiaolangyu and the specific situation on the island.

With the two of them leading the way, the official army can easily eliminate the Japanese pirates on Xiaolangyu.

But what about other islands and other Japanese pirates?

Zheng Jing can't expect to meet a fisherman who escapes every time.

But these are not the issues he needs to consider at the moment. His top priority now is to seize the time to quickly wipe out the Japanese pirates in Xiaolangyu.

Only when the first battle is beautiful and beautiful, the next battle will be encouraging.

"Take the two of them down and wash them up and give them some food and drink."

Zheng Jing gave an order, and Erzhu and Tie Niu were ecstatic when they heard this.

"Thank you for your grace, and thank you for your grace."

They didn't expect that this noble man was so easy to talk to, and this was really their blessing.

Zheng Jing and Prefect Mei were later released from prison.

The two of them chatted while walking.

"Magistrate Mei, it seems that most of the Japanese pirates here have their own strongholds like the ones on Xiaolangyu, so we have to investigate more and get rid of their nests."

"What the prince said is very true. The emperor must do his best to cooperate with His Highness, plow the courtyard and sweep the caves, and make extraordinary achievements."

Not to mention anything else, this prefect Mei’s mouth is really sweet.

Zheng Jing felt very comfortable being licked by him. Flattering things seem simple, but it is actually a test of skill when you want to shoot them just right.

This prefect Mei is very experienced.

Zheng Jing was becoming more and more optimistic about Prefect Mei at this moment. It would be so comfortable to have such a person beside him.

As for the so-called ability, Zheng Jing didn't need Prefect Mei to do anything, just ensure the logistics.
