Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth eight: although far away will be punished
Chapter 758: Even if it is far away, it will be punished
After a while, the lieutenant in the back hall came with a group of people. Chen Ao stood up from the chair, glanced at the Yue people, and said slowly: "I know you know that you understand Chinese. Tell me, who is the leader?"
More than a dozen Yue people knelt on the ground in a daze and said nothing.
Chen Ao said lightly: "Don't you say it? Since I have come to the door, do you still want to get away with it?"
People in Yue still kept silent.
As he was speaking, a captain came out of the back hall, took a running script, and said, "Your Highness, I found this."
Chen Ao opened his running script and saw that the ink traces of the running script were not dry, with the words "Transatisfaction and far-reaching".
Chen Aoyuan just took a look at it casually, but his eyes fell on this running script, so he couldn't let go. The brushwork of running script is very delicate. From the perspective of layout and ink, the person who wrote this running script has an elegant style that uses the brush to express his natural style without indulgence. In terms of character formation, the strokes of each character are different in weight and come from nature; the beginning and the strokes are echoed, creating a diverse and unified font; at first glance, the aura is very moving.
"Cai style characters!" A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Ao's eyes. The brushwork of Cai style characters is also vigorous, which is fine. The problem is that most people only copy and do not get the charm of Cai Jing. But this copybook has both the charm of Cai Jing and the momentum of Ouyang Xun. Ouyang Xun is also the most famous calligrapher in the Song Dynasty. His brushwork is known for its steepness. Cai Jing once studied under Ouyang Xun and was able to create the style of Cai style characters.
Chen Ao immediately concluded that this person who wrote a running script for at least thirty years had been immersed in his writing skills. He could not achieve this kind of achievement without the guidance of these two people.
This person actually hides Yue people's business. He will never be a Da Yue people. There is no such person in Quanzhou unless...
Chen Ao's eyes lit up, and all his doubts were explained. He exhaled and said, "So it was him?"
Chen Ao put down his running script, then glanced at the Yue people with a knife, and said, "Where is Cai You?"
Yue people dared not speak, but Chen Ao said Cai You in one whisper, and a hint of horror and surprise flashed in the eyes of several Yue people.
Chen Ao sneered: "People are tortured day and night. No matter what method is used, they must pry their mouths open!"
Chen Ao's heart was covered with a shadow, first there was Tianyi Sect, then Li Gongyun, and finally Cai Tao. Now, where has Cai Tao gone?
The matter was about Cai Tao's head, and Chen Ao became scared at this time. Fortunately, he made a quick decision, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. However... since the other party dared to offend him, Chen Ao would never stop.
Then several lieutenants came to report panting and had already controlled the dock. They took dozens of Yue people. The navy also transferred the report documents for the fleet to enter and exit the port. Chen Ao read it out and looked at it. The fleet of Xingyue Trading Company left the port half a month ago. It was strange that it did not carry any cargo, but they were willing to pay the money, so the navy did not need to ask.
Chen Ao thought for a moment and seemed to have caught something, but he couldn't use a thread to connect everything together, so he simply stopped thinking about it and saw what he could ask from these people before talking about it.
Just as Chen Ao was about to return home, someone said outside: "The King of Dayue has arrived."
Chen Ao didn't even think too much, so he walked out of the front hall and saw a man wearing a new garment, dark-faced and burly figure emerged from the sedan chair with a smile. Seeing Chen Ao, his eyes that could break their skulls were slightly stunned at first. Perhaps he didn't expect that Chen Ao was so young, and then he smiled again, with a somewhat majestic voice, saying, "Hello, Your Highness, Pingxi."
Chen Ao also smiled and said, "When did Your Highness King Yue arrive in Quanzhou?"
Li Gongyun's face was plain and said, "It's just a few days earlier than Your Highness. This Quanzhou is a good place. I am quite happy." He smiled and greeted Chen Ao, with his eyes, but he looked at the Xingyue Trading Company from time to time, and then said, "I heard that Your Highness has captured many Yue people. Most of my Dayue Kingdom are good people, and occasionally there are a few sluts. It is a last resort to violating Quanzhou's laws. Dayue and Dasong are kings and ministers. I will definitely not tolerate such people. Your Highness might as well hand these people over to me and let me punish them severely?"
Chen Ao smiled and said, "Your Highness King Yue, you need to interrogate this person first, so you will naturally give your Excellency the King Yue."
Li Gongyun stood face to face with Chen Ao with a smile, laughing and said, "How can you work for Your Highness to interrogate yourself? Just let the next country do it for you."
One wanted to keep someone, and the other wanted to hand over someone. When Li Gongyun heard something happened in Xingyue Trading Company, he was anxious and immediately brought the people there, even if he wanted to take the people back. He thought to himself that he was a vassal king after all, and the King of Pingxi would have to give him some face.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ao smiled coldly at this time, and unconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword, saying, "Whoever violates the laws of the Song Dynasty will deal with it, my Song Dynasty will deal with it. What are you? Is this person the vassal minister asked about?"
Li Gongyun's smiled face immediately turned pale. He was in the Great Yue Kingdom with a word of nothing. Where did anyone dare to talk to him like this? In addition, the Chen surnamed changed as soon as he said something, and he was still like spring breeze just now, so he was not polite at all. Li Gongyun sneered: "What does your highness mean? Do you think my Great Yue Kingdom is easy to bully?"
Chen Ao smiled faintly: "You know what I said in your heart. The Kingdom of Great Yue doesn't count in my eyes. Get out of here, don't stop me from doing business."
Chen Lengzi started to be stunned. Not to mention a great King of Yue, even Wanyan Aguda stood in front of him, he dared to say such words. He didn't even look at King of Yue at the corner of his eyes, and then said lightly: "Come on, there are thieves and chaos in Quanzhou City. From now on, the Quanzhou port will be closed. Any ship must be carefully inspected, especially the Yue people's merchant ships, which are only allowed to enter and not leave."
Li Gongyun was bored and had to go back to the sedan chair in shame and wait for the sedan chair to leave. Yang Guo walked to Chen Ao and said, "Your Highness, the matter has not been found out yet, why do you need to have a dispute with King Yue?"
Chen Ao is so murderous, and he is confident. Under the situation of Quanzhou's maritime affairs, what is a king of Yue? In the past, they were vassals of the Song Dynasty. Now the so-called vassal states are actually under the vassal governments of the sea government. They are just under the control of the Haizheng government. If they really want to turn against each other, Chen Ao is the most unafraid. Besides, this kind of thing happened suddenly in Quanzhou. Originally, I wanted to make a little festive thing to come to pay tribute to all countries, but now the vassal states are coming, but they don't know whether they are watching the fun or laughing. Since the King of Yue is shameless, Chen Ao has no interest in giving him face.
Chen Ao said coldly: "This is not your business, let's prepare for the Nanyang Navy."
Yang Jiao said: "What are you preparing?"
Chen Ao said: "Suppress the rebellion!"

After a night passed, countless people were so anxious that they couldn't sleep. Early in the morning, Chen Ao was called up. Chen Ao went to the front hall to drink a sip of tea. Then a doctor took several copies of the words and said, "I asked clearly, the Yue people have already confessed."
Chen Ao said lazily: "You said."
The doctor said: "This Xingyue Trading Company is indeed related to the royal family of Yue. Not only that, it is also related to Qin's offender Cai You. The reason why they released the news of the Tianyi Sect was indeed to do something huge."
Chen Ao said lightly: "What a big deal?"
The doctor said: "The State of Yue has long been in contact with the Great Cannibal, and secretly communicated with the Qu. On the one hand, there were many people in Quanzhou. On the other hand, the Tianyi Sect used the Tianyi Sect to place the key points of Quanzhou's security in Quanzhou, and neglected the port. Then, in the other side of the city, the Great Cannibal warship and the Yue Kingdom warship disguised as the Great Yue Kingdom merchant ship came out in full swing and destroyed Quanzhou in one fell swoop."
Even Chen Ao was sweating in his heart when he heard this so-called worldly affairs. Not to mention that the great cannibals participated in this matter, the great Yue Kingdom was too brave. If Quanzhou was destroyed, would the Song Dynasty rest with him? The great cannibals were far away in the sky, and it would be fine. The Yue Kingdom was confident that he could withstand the revenge of the Song Dynasty.
The doctor said as if he had known Chen Ao's idea, "In fact, this is a plan for Cai You to King Yue. Afterwards, as long as the responsibility is pushed to the great cannibals, the news in the Song Dynasty may not be able to distinguish between real and false. Besides, when Quanzhou Port was destroyed, the maritime affairs would inevitably be abandoned. At that time, the people of Yue could take the opportunity to replace Quanzhou's status, establish a navy, and trade with various countries. King Yue has always been ambitious. After hearing Cai You's words, he was immediately happy and appointed Cai You as the recruitment envoy of the West Road, specifically planning this matter."
Chen Ao said: "Where is Cai You's people?"
The doctor said: "At the beginning, he was in the business, but somehow, His Highness brought the captain over there. The Yue people were in a mess behind him, and his people disappeared. Now Quanzhou has followed the map to see if he can hold it?"
Chen Ao said lightly: "The cunning rabbit has three holes, it is not easy to hold Cai You."
He sat on a chair, asked someone to change to new tea, crossed his legs, and began to slowly digest the doctor's words. One was an ambitious vassal king, the other was a great cannibal who competed with the Song Dynasty, and the other was his own old hatred. These three people were twisted together and wanted to have the idea of Quanzhou. What choice should we make now?
Rest and settle the matter? This is the best way. Now that the news has been ***, the King of Yue will inevitably restrain himself. Xingyue Trading Company has been destroyed, and those ships trying to attack Quanzhou may not dare to come.
But……
A trace of anger flashed in Chen Ao's eyes. Usually, others don't mess with him, but he also has to cause some trouble. Now someone is riding on his head and shit, how can he just calm down?
Hold the King of Yue now?
Chen Ao hesitated again. If he took King Yue now, it would be no benefit. The prince in the Dayue Kingdom also took a prince, and he took a Li Gongyun. The prince ascended the throne in Dayue, which would still be a problem for the Song Dynasty.
Chen Ao couldn't help but take the tea and hugged it in his hand. Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he smiled and said, "At this point, let's just talk about it. While all the vassal kings are there, I will kill the chicken to warn the monkey and come!"
The doctor said: "In."
Chen Ao said in a heavy tone: "Go and invite Ma Yinglong, Wu Wencai, and the navy commander Yang."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
There were three people sitting in the hall. Wu Wencai first coughed, then stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Your Highness, please come, what are the instructions?"
Chen Ao didn't say anything, but sent the confession directly to the several cases in front of Wu Wencai. After Wu Wencai looked at it, he looked horrified, and then passed it to Yang Guo. Yang Guo looked at it in a hurry and handed it to Ma Yinglong.
Chen Ao paced back and forth in the hall and said coldly: "What do you think about it now?"
Before Wu Wencai could think about it, Ma Yinglong believed that his identity was low and did not dare to speak rashly. Yang Guo pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, since you have a witness, I will just take the King of Yue."
Wu Wencai shook his head and said, "No, if you take the King of Yue, Da Yue will definitely get into evil with me, Da Song. At that time, Prince Da Yue will ascend the throne. What's the use of taking a King of Yue?"
Yang Guo said: "We must not ignore it. If we do not punish severely today, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no next time."
Chen Ao took a few steps and said, "Mr. Wu is right. It is useless to take over the King of Yue. Commander Yang is not wrong. If we cannot punish severely today, what is the majesty of our Song Dynasty? When this matter is spread, will there be anyone in the vassal states in the South China Sea be willing to call us the vassal states?" He said with a quick decision: "For the current plan, we can only conquer the Great Yue, take down Champa as quickly as possible, destroy their ancestral temples, and escort their royal family to Quanzhou to punish them to serve as a warning."
