Chapter 79: Alliance, Shen Hai

So, Wang Fulin deepened his relationship by saving his life. He hoped that he would continue to sit in the position of Deputy Envoy of the Haidao after he recovered?

Zhou Congwen thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that his thoughts were reasonable, and he was naturally a little excited.▲∴▲∴, especially when Wang Fulin discussed with him about the pirates from Chaozhou Prefecture, his mood became even more relaxed, and he no longer had the irritability of gains and losses when he was recuperating. Unconsciously, his personal impression of Wang Fulin was no longer the initial secret repulsion, and he kept away from him, but quietly became a person who regarded the other person as a kind and memorable person.

Anyway, he had already made enemies. When he was in the Gongyuan, Wang Fulin stood up and died suddenly. He then reorganized a deputy envoy who could get along well with the relationship network in the court. That was not something that could not be done. So, he was worried about during his recuperation before, and he never thought of such a joint!

Seeing that the words were already very thorough, Wang Fulin turned the topic to Qiu Sihai calmly: "Would Zhou Zhan ask me to find someone to come here? Maybe it can relieve your illness?"

Compared to his sincere gratitude to Wang Fulin for saving his life and his words just now, Zhou Congwen frowned slightly when he heard the chef.

Of course, any official attaches great importance to life, and life-saving grace is not idle. But the problem this time is that Wang Fulin took the lead in saving grace before Qiu Sihai. At the same time, because he and Zhou Congwen only have a grade gap, they are people of the same class and may also become ally in the future, so Zhou Congwen will of course admit this favor openly. But a small chef only knows a little acupuncture and provides some pills. Even if he has taken care of him for a few days, he is the most embarrassing side he has ever seen, and that is not a doctor and may not be useful in the future!

Since that's the case, the previous heavy reward is enough to repay this favor, so there is no need to deepen the contact.

So, after a moment of hesitation, thinking that several doctors who were well-known in Guangzhou City who had invited before said that his condition was not serious, Zhou Congwen shook his head and said, "Forget it, this person is not a serious doctor. I used to treat him as a living horse, not afraid of quack doctors misleading people. Now, I have to cherish my life and not give it to people with unknown foundations at will. Besides, this person is quite rude. In those days when I was in the Gongyuan, I thought he was noisy. If I hadn't heard that his ancestral home was Chaozhou Prefecture and I had a little understanding of some pirates, I would have no need for him."

"Oh, is this person from Chaozhou Prefecture? Is he still clear about the situation of pirates?" Wang Fulin immediately showed some interest, and then said sincerely, "I will not hide it from Zhou Observation. Before, Ling Zhitai once handed over the incident of pirates and fishermen in Xin'an County to me for investigation. At the same time, because there was news that Lin Daoqian had returned, his whereabouts were also handed over to me for investigation. If possible, he would help him to urge him or wipe him out. It was just because my party accidentally encountered an assassin, so he temporarily put it aside. Zhou Observation has been in Guangdong for so many years, with a deep experience and a close understanding of maritime affairs. If his body is still able to bear it, can he give me some advice?"

Since he had already regarded Wang Fulin as his future ally in his heart. Not to mention that Zhou Congwen's situation is fine at this moment, even if it is not good, he has to hold on. At this moment, he carefully recalled the words of Qiu Sihai, such as Lin Afeng's gods were elusive in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian. However, his subordinates gradually became interested in surrendering, and the ships were less manned than before; Lin Dao Qianmen's internal strife, so he sneaked back to the coast of Chaozhou Prefecture to recruit the tribes again; the newly debuted pirates were not convinced by these outdated bosses, but were afraid of the prestige of the government... After choosing some important things, he saw that Wang Fulin was attentive to listen, and he felt that he was valued. His tone was even more gentle.

"It's not easy to deal with when Ling Jiantai gives you this matter. In this way, I will write a letter to ask several staff members on my side to collect some information for you. Some of them have been in the Haidao Yamen for more than ten years, and they know a lot more about the inside story than me. However, Xiao Wang Xun, don't be too hasty. Wait for a while, my condition will improve. Then you and I work together, why worry about not being able to do it?" This time, Zhou Congwen's four words Xiao Wang Xun's has a bit of intimacy, which obviously means to further narrow the relationship between the two.

"Thank you, Zhou Observer. But you should be at ease and take care of your illness, and don't be distracted. If you can have some clues about this matter, I will never forget Zhou Observer when recounting my merits. If you gain nothing or even make mistakes, I will naturally bear it. I, Wang Fulin, dare not say anything else, but I will never give any promises!"

In other words, if you have credit for everyone, you will be responsible for the crime? This young boy is really courageous!

Zhou Congwen believed this without any doubt. After Wang Fulin lingers for a while, then comforts him, and then says goodbye and leaves. He breathes a sigh of relief, feeling that the worries and concerns that have been in the past few days have temporarily subsided, replaced by a faint excitement.

If he is not an enemy but an ally with Wang Fulin, it means that he can get the circle behind Wang Fulin, and that is likely to be the circle of the current chief minister Zhang Juzheng. In this way, his illness is really good. Not only does he have no worries about his life, but he still has great potential in the future!

After visiting Zhou Congwen, Wang Fulin walked to the Guangzhou Prefecture and had a cordial meeting with Guangzhou Prefect Pang Xianzu.

When it comes to official rank, the prefect and the sub-guard are equal, which is six levels higher than the inspector and the Censor, but their power is only within one government. Wang Fulin, who holds the power of supervision in the entire Guangdong, not only does not have to look at his face, but can sometimes restrain the prefect. Therefore, Pang Xianzu was initially worried that Wang Fulin was coming to seek punishment. It can be seen that Wang Fulin was a gentle person. He even regarded him as a senior in the imperial examination field and gave him a bunch of high hats. Finally, he expressed his guilty suspicion who had been thrown to the Censor's Office before and asked the Guangzhou Prefecture to work with the Censor's Office to deal with it. The implication was nothing more than to show absolute trust. He immediately understood and felt relieved.

Therefore, when Wang Fulin said goodbye and left, the prefect Pang personally sent it to the government office. Even the officials and the minor officials and officers in the three squads and six wings were shocked.

After visiting three officials, he threw such a big event out of trouble, and to the outsider's eyes, Wang Fulin temporarily stopped the storm, or hid in the procuratorate to smile and watch the storm. Even the county magistrate Gu Jing in Xiangshan County supervised the businessmen to select the insurance business and formed a suggestion bureau. Wang Fulin did not show up. He only saw Zhao Haitao, the magistrate of Nanhai County and Yu Chenghui, who visited the procuratorate one after another. No one expected that Wang Fulin was not in the procuratorate at all. Zhao Haitao and Yu Chenghui's visit was just Pang Xianzu, who was asked by Wang Fulin to act together in a play. In fact, Wang Fulin, who had escaped from the procuratorate, had long been no longer in the procuratorate.

Wang Fulin went to Xin'an again, but this time he showed his identity and met the magistrate Tang who was kind and lacking ability. He had learned that a fishing village under his command had once produced an assassin who was planning to assassinate the inspector of the censor. The magistrate Tang was going crazy. This time, when he heard Wang Fulin's request, he picked out absolutely capable people and sealed the fishing village where the old man was on the grounds of having pirates. He was not allowed to go in and out, but at the same time he had to ensure his life, he agreed without thinking. However, when Wang Fulin left a entourage and also allocated funds to directly provide food and food for these fishermen, he was also relieved while surprised.

The small Xin'an County is very tight for public expenses. If Wang Fulin does not keep anyone and approve funds, he will have to repeat the old tune to the wealthy families in the county to beg for alms!

After returning from Xin'an, Wang Fulin went straight to Xiaobei's house in Guangzhou. He used to regard his wife's temporary residence as a prison cell. There was nothing he could do. Although he had thrown all four people other than Old Man Fu to the Censorate, the dozen people who were still kept in the prison could not be ignored. In order to prevent the movement during the interrogation, it attracted attention. In addition, he had also been there before. In case of precautions, he asked someone to rent another extremely secluded house in Guangzhou City, and transferred Xiaobei, including all the prisoners.

It is the easiest thing to pry open the mouths of two Folang Ji people.

For Victor, who had never been corporal punishment at birth, he whipped it down a few times. He was afraid that the news he had revealed was not detailed enough, so he wanted to tell him what he had eaten in Portugal. He had been with the real Captain Franco for a long time. This famous Portuguese social handsome man bid farewell to his mistress, and the viscount daughter came to the far east. After walking with the ship a few times, he was very talented in language and quickly mastered his daily conversations. After seeing the rich profits, he had a bad idea.

Taking advantage of Captain Franco's opportunity to trade through Macau and Nanyang, he used his relationship with the Bragansa family to recruit a group of natives in Manlacca, intending to pretend to be pirates after returning. Who knew that when Xiaoxiao of Haojing was trying to catch a side door, he encountered Wang Fulin to see through it. He had to take the risk of launching a rebellion and then jump into the sea to escape. As for using a small sampan to kill fishermen to rob the boat, he said that it was not their first move, but the fishermen who sank their boat. If he hadn't convinced the other party to save them with sweet words and treasures, and then killed people and seized the boat while they were unprepared, he would have died. Even so, one of the three people was still dead, and he and the other person met Fu Xiong's real pirates, and then fell into Wang Fulin's hands!

Although Victor, who had only seen Wang Fulin, still didn't know who Wang Fulin was, at least Victor knew that the other party was an official at least, just for this point, he could not even beat him up when he was in Portugal. Therefore, he fully utilized his verbal advantage over his companions or subordinates, kneeling when he said he would kneel, and hugging his thighs, without any ambiguity at all. So Wang Fulin finally broke free, which made people block him and drag him away, and couldn't help but wonder.

Does the viscount daughter from the side of the Bragansa family only value this guy's face? Such a backboneless guy can do whatever he wants as long as he benefits or whips!

"Young Master, let's ask the old man Fu next?"

"That guy doesn't need it. I've already asked all the questions. If Fu Xiong hadn't kept hostages to restrain him, I would have thrown this kind of thing to the Censorship Office and took Qiu Sihai over."

Since he was slaughtered that day, Qiu Sihai woke up and found that his clothes were almost peeled clean, and the bound rope was almost tied into the flesh. He didn't even have the chance to break free. He knew that this time he underestimated Du Maode and was so vicious that he had been so vicious. However, he found that his subordinates who had previously guarded the Du family in Datong Village were almost beaten up in one fell swoop. These people even revealed that the reason why they were so embarrassed was that Du Maode reported to the official and the government dispatched elite troops of the South China Sea Wei Guang Haiwei, but he did not believe it at all.

Because for days, the place where he was detained did not look like a prison cell at all!

For several days, except for three meals a day, no one paid attention to them, the rope never untied. At most, it was just a difference between looseness and tightness. In the end, he was even more detained by a gag and put on a gagging and was detained in another place. He felt that he was not wrong. If it were Du Maode who reported to the official, he would have been taken to court and tortured and suffered a lot, right? It is very likely that Du Maode had relied on other big guys, such as Lin Daogan, who had been defeated by Lin Afeng, or other emerging pirate forces. If that were the case, he should have a chance!

At this moment, when he was blindfolded and was held in a room and knelt down, he had already expected this to happen and was very calm. Especially when a low voice asked him whether he was assigned by Lin Afeng and why, he confessed very readily: "It was Mr. Feng who sent me. Mr. Feng hopes that the court can plead us and seek a way for his brothers to be rich and prosperous."

Anyway, he didn't observe Du Maode's bluffing plan for a while and said this purpose, and now there is nothing to hide!

"Recruiting the court? If I remember correctly, Lin Afeng asked the court for resurrection three years ago, but the result was that the Yin Butang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was not allowed, and he was defeated again and again by the government. He went to Luzon because he was chased by someone behind, and he was driven back by the Folang Ji people? Now there are only a few boats and a few people, and he still wants to ask the court for resurrection? This is simply a dream!"

Although he couldn't tell who the low and dull voice was, the other party directly exposed Lin Afeng's background behind him. Qiu Sihai still couldn't help but feel that the group of people who held him were not people in the government, but should be peers. At that moment, he raised his spirit and barely regained his strength: "Mr. Feng is not as strong as before, but now there are pirates who dominate the side like Wang Zhi and Xu Hai back then? Whether it is Wu Ping, Zeng Yiben, Lin Daogan, or Feng Master, now, have been driven away by the officers and soldiers and have nowhere to live. Since the Lord is a peer, he should know that he should not fight in this way, otherwise he will only be defeated by the government!"

"Oh, what else?"

He tried his best to present the facts and reason, but what he received was the other party's casual words. Qiu Sihai was suddenly a little angry. But now he is a prisoner, and even if he wants to curse, he has to think about his life. He is not sure whether the other party has Du Maode around him, so he dare not say anything that is too easy to see through. After all, it is very likely that the military advisor Lin Afeng used back then is there.

"Also, now there are people from Malacca and other places in Luzon, but these people are no better than us. They can occupy land for business in Haojing, so they are rich. If the Lord wants to, I can contact Mr. Feng and we will make a vote together..."

"No need to say these beautiful words. Lin Afeng has been lingering on the sea for some years. It is said that pirates like to hide things the most. If you want to survive, it is better to give out a few places for his treasure house! Otherwise, if he asked you to come to Guangzhou City to do such a thing, it would never be possible to let you come empty-handed. There should be a gift for a meeting!"

Qiu Sihai suddenly shuddered, and the premonition of eating black in his heart became even stronger. He took a deep breath and was about to speak, when the other party's next sentence immediately made him hesitate.

"To be honest with you, my family also has a meeting gift. I want to ask a certain adult to send it to Ling Zhitai for a plea. If you know each other, you will cooperate with each other. If the superiors are accurate, I can also find a future for you. Otherwise, you and your subordinates will all sink into the sea!"
