"You don't understand this! Although Uncle Xu and our master were brothers, it was the time when they had just escaped from Luzon. At that time, Westerners massacred us Han people in Luzon. In order to cooperate with us, our master and Xu Erjun completely broke away from their control. That was why we joined forces.

Later, our master chose to settle in Dongyang, while Xu Erye chose to return to China. Although our Ming Dynasty had already turned on and no longer banned the sea, there were still many restrictions on the shipping goods. Therefore, many black merchant ships secretly left the foreign countries.

At this time, the military strength in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty was no longer as good as before, and there was no way to deal with these black ships. Coupled with the harassment of Westerners, the strength of the Ming Dynasty at sea plummeted. Mr. Xu gradually became the boss in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty.

However, since our eldest lady returned to China with a gunship, Mr. Xu's limelight in the Southeast Sea was taken away by the eldest lady. Although the eldest lady later invented the business of selling orders and selling orders, Mr. Xu also benefited a lot. But you have to think about it! If our eldest lady returns to the East and gives up all the southeastern waters of the Ming Dynasty, how much money will Mr. Xu earn in a year? Not to mention anything else, just selling orders, I guess I will have to earn at least one or two million more!

With such a great benefit in front of you, do you think Mr. Xu will not be moved?"

"But, if this is the case, will our Li family and Mr. Xu start fighting?" asked the young man.

"This is how master Xu Ershi is so clever. Look at when did he and our eldest lady turn their faces? When did they meet each other? When did they meet, they were not all friendly. Mr. Xu secretly used tricks, that's just our guess. Who has any real evidence?"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's tone suddenly became serious. "Amyko, remember it for me. No matter what occasion you are on, you can't say bad things about Mr. Xu. Otherwise, if the eldest lady hears it, she will never forgive you easily."

Mingzi obviously didn't understand the middle-aged man's advice, "Why? Did the eldest lady still not realize that Mr. Xu has ulterior motives for our Li family?"

The middle-aged man snorted. "You underestimate the young lady too much. Who is our young lady? Since she took over the domestic business of our Li family from the master, our Li family's influence in China has been a huge swathe. Five years ago, almost no one in the Ming Dynasty knew about our Li family, including those who have been abroad all year round.

But now, look, as long as the person who is working on a boat in the southeast half of the wall, whether in Songjiang Prefecture or Quanzhou Prefecture, if he does not sell the face of our Li family, his boat will not even be able to leave the harbor. The young lady is more than a thousand times smarter than you and me. Will she not see Xu Erye’s little moves? However, she did not say that, nor did she take action against the Xu family. It must have her profound meaning.

Anyway, you remember my words, that's right."

After that, the room became quiet again and the two stopped talking.

Yu Ren leaned against the wall and sorted out the words of the two of them in his mind. He finally understood the general idea. It turned out that the Li Yu family was not a high-ranking official or a wealthy man, but a giant thief at the sea. No wonder Zhong Qi, whom he met after going out to sea in Fuzhou, was frightened like that just seeing Li Yu's small flag on the boat.

Judging from the tone of these two people, Li Yu seemed to be the real ruler of their Li family. The Li family should be the overlord of this area. That time in Lianjiang, Fujian, those arrogant siege pirates were also her subordinates. No wonder she could take him with her, so she could come and go among the pirates, know everything well!

However, Yu Ren didn't understand why these pirates dared to be so arrogant, not only settled on land, but also built their own bases in big cities like Hangzhou.

Also, after hearing the conversation between these two people, the pirate group of the Li family has obviously become semi-public. Why does the imperial court still ignore it? Is it really impossible to control it as they said? Yu Ren finally solved a problem and found out Li Yu's identity, but it brought more problems.

Yu Ren squatted under the eaves for a while, hoping to hear some useful information. However, even breathing sounds gradually came from the room. Yu Ren knew that the two of them were asleep, so he had to quietly return to Liu Qiang's residence.

Yu Ren guessed that it took at least an hour for him to explain to Liu Qiang this time, which was a difficult problem. Although he has always been good at talking lies with his eyes open, this is the first time he has come to Wen Taoyuan. He doesn't understand the situation at all. It is not easy to find a suitable reason to not be accused of by Liu Qiang.

Along the way, Yu Ren was thinking about how to explain to Liu Qiang what he had suddenly ran out. However, he didn't expect that when he returned to Liu Qiang's house, Liu Qiang had not come back yet. Only the child who cleaned up his house was sitting on a chair and drowsy.

Seeing this, Yu Ren suddenly relaxed; at the same time, a feeling of sleepiness hit his heart. He did not wake up the child on the chair, but ran directly to the backyard and pushed open a door. Seeing that a bed had been laid inside, he knew it was prepared for him, Yu Ren fell down and fell asleep regardless of the situation.

The night was noisy, first fighting with the Wu brothers, and then being plotted by Liu Qi and the other two. He just became a spy again. Yu Ren was really tired. He slept very well this time.

When Yu Ren woke up, it was already three o'clock on the sun. When he arrived at the front room, he saw Liu Qiang sitting on a chair, staring at his bronze bell-sized eyes, staring straight at the ground.

Yu Ren walked up curiously and saw that there were no small things like ants on the ground for him to study, which made him even more puzzled.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Qiang was suddenly awakened by Yu Ren's words. He suddenly raised his huge head and asked Yu Ren. "When is it now?"

Yu Ren looked outside and saw that the sun was approaching the sky, so he said, "It should be almost noon!"

Liu Qiang slapped his thigh, "It's broken, it's broken. It's a big deal now."

Yu Ren was confused by him. "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Liu Qiang seemed not to hear Yu Ren's words, so he stood up from the chair anxiously. He kept paced back and forth in the room, and kept reciting, "What's the solution, what's the solution?"

Yu Ren looked at Liu Qiang's iron tower-like body and was walking around in this not-so-large living room. At first, Yu Ren was standing and watching. After a while, he felt tired and squatted down.

When he felt his legs numb, he bent like an iron tower and was still paced back and forth like a robot.

Yu Ren sat down, but Liu Qiang seemed to have no intention of stopping. When Yu Ren counted to the 83rd lap, he finally couldn't help it.

"I said. Even if you practice Taoism and become a Buddha, you are enough! You have already gone 83 times!"

Liu Qiang finally stopped his burly body, and he seemed to have seen Yu Ren. "Ah! You get up!"

Yu Ren was speechless. He had been in front of this guy for almost half an hour. He asked himself what time he had just arrived, but now he seemed to have discovered him.

"What the hell is going on?" Originally, Yu Ren didn't want to ask. But since he overheard the two soldiers last night, or to be more precise, the pirate minions, he planned to pretend to be stupid after knowing that Li Yu and the others were actually a group of giant pirates on the sea, he planned to pretend to be stupid. Although he did not reject pirates, he knew that such things had always been absolute privacy. If they knew that they had discovered their secret, maybe they might be killed and silenced. So, he was very careful in this matter.

Of course, Liu Qiang could bring him to Wen Taoyuan. At least he and Mr. Qu no longer regarded him as an outsider. However, even so, Yu Ren could only wait for them to take the initiative to reveal his identity to him. He believed that Liu Qiang would reveal his identity to him. Since he was willing to bring him here, it means that he did not regard himself as an outsider.

Sure enough, Liu Qiang sighed and took the initiative to reveal his identity as a pirate to Yu Ren first, and then briefly told him about the situation of the Li family, and then slowly told Yu Ren about the whole story.

It turned out that last night, Liu Qiang also found those people carrying the wounded after he went out. Liu Qiang was learning about the situation with those people, so Li Yu sent someone to call him.
