Qin Feng said bluntly that Zhou Li could not do the matter of the Maritime Affairs Department, but Zhou Li on the other hand was at ease because Qin Feng said it was just right. He also came out of the system. He had been in the Chu Navy before, but his position was not low. He was in the fleet and had a very complicated matter. He could not handle all aspects clearly. What he was good at was just leading troops to fight. When it comes to leading the fleet to fight, he believed that he was no worse than others, but if he wanted to hand over all the big business of the Maritime Affairs Department to him, he had no choice but to retreat.

Not to mention anything else, he didn't know how the goods from more than ten merchant ships were sold this time. Moreover, a few days ago, Qin Feng had told him some maritime affairs, which made his scalp numb.

What's more, Qin Feng's second son, whom he liked this time, got along well with him when he was in Ning. Although the other party had a purpose and wanted to win over him, he was always someone who valued himself and also made him like him.

So when Qin Feng said this and Young Master Ning looked at him again, he smiled and nodded at the other party, which was a reassurance for the other party. Even if he came earlier and was deeply trusted by Qin Feng, as long as Young Master Ning was the leader of the Maritime Affairs Bureau, he would never be embarrassed by him.

Zhou Li expressed his opinion, and the second young master Ning was overjoyed. At this moment, he was just eager to deal with the matter in front of him, and then returned to Quanzhou to take down the position of leader of the Ning clan first.

There is a small lake on the big island with a few acres of area, but there is no problem with supplying fresh water throughout the island. A good building is built by the lake, and there are no other houses around it. The whole house is made of stone and is extremely sturdy. A small platform on the facade is half exposed to the lake. If it is sunny, a small table is set up, a pot of fragrant tea, a tea at the lake, and fishing on the sun, it is also an extremely elegant place.

"This is where Zuli lives on weekdays." Luo Ping, the pirate leader who surrendered a few days ago, looked a little decisive. He saw the opportunity early and surrendered very quickly. He did not die many of his brothers on the boat, but now they are locked in the bottom cabin of the ship on the sea. As for what ending he will end up, he has no idea. When he saw the Changyang attacking Huludao just now, his legs were even weaker.

Until now, he didn't know where this crossing dragon came out, but judging from their familiarity with the second young master Ning, he seemed to be very familiar.

"This Zuli looks like a fierce and evil spirit, but unexpectedly he is also a person who will enjoy happiness." Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh at the furnishings in the room.

The decorations in the house are not ordinary things, no matter which one you take, they are valuable things on the market.

"He is a person who does a business without capital, and money comes quickly." Zhou Li smiled.

"Luo Ping, Zuli has been working as a pirate for most of his life, and I think there are a lot of gains. Since you are his alliance, do you know where his good things are hidden?" Zhou Li asked straightforwardly. You can't let His Majesty ask, Zhou Li has the awareness of being a villain.

"Chief Zhou, villain, villain was just invited by them this time. Although they usually know each other, they are not familiar with each other. If Zuli didn't need us this time, we would also want to get a share of the pie. If you dare to provoke Zuli, the villain is terrible. He swallowed me in one bite. How could anyone like the villain know where Zuli's property is hidden?" Luo Ping said tremblingly.

To be honest, Zhou Li nodded at Qin Feng. However, this is Zuli's old nest. The wealth he stole can only be hidden in this place. Qin Feng is not in a hurry, and he can find it on both sides. There must be Zuli's confidant on this island. When Huo Guang and Zhou Yangfan and others catch everyone later, they will be clear after the trial.

"The scenery here is very good. Why don't we sit here? Zeyuan, Zhou Li and He Ying, also happened to talk to me about the navy's battle. I really know nothing about this." Qin Feng said with a smile.

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Ma Hou immediately directed several guards to move tables and chairs on the wooden platform outside. At this time, the sun was just right, the lake was rippling, and the sound of the waves in the distance was heard, which really made a unique scenery.

It is peaceful here, but outside the forest of this small lake, there is another scene.

There are about hundreds of people on the island, mostly women and children, basically all of them are pirates' families, and some powerful people, but at this time, they are all tied up by four horses. The usual ferocity has long disappeared, and there is only a look of fear in their eyes.

From time to time, soldiers rushed over and whispered in Zhou Yangfan's ear. Zhou Yangfan's face became worse and worse. The island occupied, but the property on the island was pitifully small, which was far from what they expected.

Compared to Qin Feng, Zhou Yangfan was even more eager to make a fortune. His Majesty the Emperor had already said that this time the Ning family's cargo profit was returned to him so that he could use this as a capital to fight for the position of patriarch. If the Zhou family and his son wanted to expand the fleet urgently, they had to get more materials and money. His Majesty the Emperor had promised that the income this time would be invested in the Baoqing Shipyard to produce more warships.

It wasn't Zhou Yangfan's thoughts, but he had some thoughts. In the future, the Ming fleet would not be the opinion of his Zhou family. Once the second son of Ning joined the gang, He Ying would be a ready-made maritime general. Although this person was not as good as his father and son, he was also a powerful general at the sea. Moreover, once the second son of Ning became the patriarch, more people would inevitably come to join us. The father and son of Zhou had previously left the Ning family, so there would naturally be a barrier with these people.

Instead of waiting until later to compete with others, it is better to take it into your hands now.

Some more prisoners were tied up and taken over.

"Brother, these guys are alert and want to run away with a small boat, but my brothers are also fed from sea. If he is letting him run away like this, wouldn't he be shameless? We drove the boat to chase him, killed two, and caught three." A barefoot sailor smiled and said, "He was brought by Zhou Li and his son, Zhou Li's old subordinate, and he always called Zhou Yangfan the eldest brother. "It seems that this guy has a good status!"

Zhou Yangfan squinted his eyes and smiled, "Zuli settled his nest here, so naturally the robbery is here, but the search on the island was almost done but it was not found. He could only put the matter on these people."

After walking a few steps forward, staring at the people in front of him, he shouted: "Everyone is seeking life at sea. I think everyone knows that if you lose, you have to accept your fate. Zhou is not a nameless person at sea. Today, he has just piled up his words here. If the person knows where Zuli treasure is located, as long as he is willing to confess honestly, he will let him go a long way to live. He will neither kill you nor sell you outside as a slave. If no one confesses, I will not be lazy to judge you. He will kill you all and then slowly search on the island. But I dig three feet into the ground, but I can't find it if I don't believe it. Now I give you a chance, and God has a good life. From now on, I will count from one to ten. If no one confesses, please take the road to the underworld!"

After hearing Zhou Yangfan's words, the person tied up suddenly became turbulent.

"One, two..." Zhou Yangfan raised his head, and without looking at everyone, counted slowly.

At this time, the topic of the second young master Ning seized the position of patriarch.

"He Ying lost five warships this time, but I will give you all the captured pirate ships this time. I'm afraid there are not enough sailors. This requires Zhou Li to cooperate. After returning, he will cooperate with you. Don't worry about the warships. Give you these 800 warships first. Anyway, our navy will be quiet for a while. After you have won the position of patriarch, let's talk about other things." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, why not the last general will go back with the second son." Zhou Li smiled and said, "Zhou is quite famous in Quanzhou. Going back may also give the second son a better chance of winning."

"If you leave, what should I do if you train new sailors?" Qin Feng asked.

"It is enough to set sail for the navy training." Zhou Li said.

"What do you say about Zeyuan?" Qin Feng looked at Ning Zeyuan.

Ning Zeyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I think this proposal is excellent. If I go back like this, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. If General Zhou follows him, I can say that I encountered pirates at sea, but I met General Zhou by chance. I cooperated with General Zhou to defeat the pirates and even seized something."

"Since that's the case, Zhou Li, just take the Changyang ship back. Since you want to make a strong sense, you might as well do it bigger." Qin Feng smiled.

"But Your Majesty, a warship like the Changyang ship is so eye-catching." Zhou Li hesitated.

"What are you afraid of? Zhou Li is famous in this sea area. If someone asks, you can say that you have done your old business. What's so strange about having this boat? There are so many island countries overseas, just say that the boat was brought from there, isn't it enough." Qin Feng smiled. "You go and do something for Zeyuan, and come back next spring. At that time, I think of the fleet of Master Ning, Zhou's fleet, and some small merchant ships, who should go out to sea during that season, and just grab another one."

"Yes, then follow Your Majesty's arrangement." Zhou Li said with a smile.
