Chapter 721 The second wave
But naturally he could not say to Hu Zongxian, otherwise he could not explain how he was so clear about the situation of the pirates. So, he frowned and pretended to ponder for a while and said:
"I don't know either. However, there is nothing wrong with this. I'll send a few people to keep an eye on him, and I'll know what he's here to do."
“That’s right.”
Hu Zongxian nodded, and the two of them talked for a while, and Luo Xin said goodbye and left.
As the days passed, Mao Haifeng had been in Suzhou for a long time, but when he was not far from the Ming Navy, there were several small boats hidden on a small island, monitoring the Ming Navy day and night.
Xu Hai and Xin Wulang were crippled by Luo Xin. Although they later became entangled with some small pirates and suddenly attacked Wang Zhi, they caught Wang Zhi off guard, which made more small pirates like sharks asking about the smell of blood and gathered. Want to blow the wind, Wang Zhi was once worried.
However, the pirates that were temporarily pieced together were mobs. When Wang Zhi completely reacted, it was difficult for Xu Hai and others to gain advantage. Instead, Wang Zhi took revenge on several battles and wiped out many pirates. However, when Wang Zhi was happy, the things he had been worried about appeared again. One of his islands was snatched away by the mysterious pirate. Just as before, all the supplies and people were snatched away, leaving only an empty island. This incident was born while he was fighting with Xu Hai.
However, Wang Zhi had no temper this time, but left and sent someone to Suzhou to find Mao Haifeng to investigate the movements of the Ming Navy. When Mao Haifeng learned that his island had been robbed again, he was stunned. He knew that the Ming Navy had not left the Ming coast at all. A few days ago, he was drinking with several generals of the Ming Navy.
He asked someone to go back and tell Wang Zhi that mysterious pirate was not the Ming navy, and then he went straight to the Maritime Office. He planned to live in Maritime Office during this period. He wanted to see who stole their things. He believed in his adopted father's judgment. If he stole their pirates, he would definitely transport some things here for sale in exchange for food and other supplies.
Luo Xin received Mao Haifeng in the Maritime Warehouse and then arranged Mao Haifeng in the best inn in Hangzhou. After sending Mao Haifeng out of the Maritime Warehouse gate, Luo Xin walked back with a smile. When he came to the backyard, he saw Wang Cuiqiao standing at the door of the study room with a pale face and looking at him. Seeing Luo Xin entering the study room, he walked in with a teapot, poured tea for Luo Xin, and stood there to speak but stopped. Luo Xin looked at her and said:
"Is there something wrong?"
Wang Cuiqiao whispered: "Is Mao Haifeng here?"
"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "What? Are you afraid that he will recognize you?"
"Yes!" Wang Cuiqiao nodded and said, "It's nothing to recognize my family, but I'm just afraid of implicating the master."
Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, he won't enter the backyard, so you don't go out too. You two will have no chance to meet."
"Yes!" Wang Cuiqiao nodded obediently.
"I just feel sorry for you." Luo Xin pulled Wang Cuiqiao into his arms and asked her to sit on his thighs.
Wang Cuiqiao sat gently in Luo Xin's arms, and said with a worried look on his face: "Why don't Mao Haifeng stay at Hu Zongxian, why do you go to the master to do?"
Luo Xin hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to test Wang Cuiqiao. Since Wang Cuiqiao is already his woman, some things can never be hidden. Moreover, Wang Cuiqiao is not an ordinary woman, although not as good as Zhong Jinhatun, her pirate career has made her a person like Zhong Jinhatun. Sometimes Luo Xin feels that letting Wang Cuiqiao hide under his wings is a waste. He is not sure whether Wang Cuiqiao has put all his thoughts on him. If this is true, he will gradually hand over some things to Wang Cuiqiao.
Luo Xin lowered his voice and said, "Do you know what happened over Xu Hai?"
The blood color that had just recovered on Wang Cuiqiao's face turned pale in an instant, and his body sitting in Luo Xin's arms trembled slightly:
"Master, you... doubt Yun'er?"
Seeing that Wang Cuiqiao's face looked like he was fake, Luo Xin smiled and said:
"Yun'er, you're thinking too much. I just want to tell you about Xu Hai."
"I don't want to listen!" Wang Cuiqiao said resolutely: "My name is Qin Yun now, and he is the master's concubine. I don't know Xu Hai."
Luo Qing gently stroked her show and said, "Didn't you just asked Mao Haifeng why he came here?"
Wang Cuiqiao was stunned in a dark look: "Is it related to Xu Hai?"
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "You should know why Xu Hai wanted to attack Hangzhou?"
"Well, I know." At this time, Wang Cuiqiao's face no longer had the weak appearance just now, but was full of wisdom:
"It's because Wang Zhi sent someone to snatch Xu Hai's sea boat."
Luo Xin laughed, lowered his voice and said, "It's not Wang Zhi who went to grab it."
"Who else would it be if it wasn't Wang Zhi?" Wang Cuiqiao looked at Luo Xin in disbelief and said, "Only Wang Zhi has this burden and strength at sea."
"It's me!" Luo Xin said softly. Seeing Wang Cuiqiao's beautiful eyes wide open, he looked in disbelief, and gently scraped Wang Cuiqiao's nose and said:
"It's your master, I."
"Master, you..."
"You just need to know that I have a very strong force on the sea, Master. But no one knows this force. After they snatched Xu Hai, Xin Wulang and Ye Ma's ships, they hid. Xu Hai and Xin Wulang were like you, and they all decided that it was Wang Zhigan, haha..."
Speaking of this, Luo Xin couldn't help laughing proudly. The disbelief in Wang Cuiqiao's eyes gradually turned into worship. He was a pirate, but he didn't have such a powerful force on the sea now, and this force was secretly managed by Luo Xin.
"Is this the Ming army god?"
"Then Xu Hai and Xin Wulang went to find Wang Zhi's trouble." Luo Xin's hand reached into Wang Cuiqiao's arms and said while touching:
"When Xu Hai and Wang Zhi were fighting hard, my maritime force sneaked into Wang Zhi's island and then disappeared quickly. This made Wang Zhi suspected the Ming Navy, so Mao Haifeng came to Suzhou this time to investigate the movements of the Ming Navy.
And now he came to the Maritime Bureau again and acted as if he wanted to live here for a long time, which only shows one thing."
"What's the matter?" Wang Cuiqiao couldn't help but ask.
Luo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It can only be shown that the master, my navy robbed Wang Zhi's island. Wang Zhi sent someone to find Mao Haifeng, and Mao Haifeng naturally knew that the Ming navy had not moved, so he expelled the suspicion of the Ming navy. Yun'er, what do you think Mao Haifeng came to the Maritime Bureau to do?"
Wang Cuiqiao thought for a moment and said, "He wants to find clues from the Maritime Bureau!"
Luo Xin pinched her with approval, and made Wang Cuiqiao "moan".
"Yun'er, you're right."
"Then you, Master..."
"Master, I have my own solution. OK, Master, I have something to go out."
Wang Cuiqiao obediently came down from Luo Xin's thigh, tidied up Luo Xin's clothes, and looked at Luo Xin's leaving back and began to ponder.
She cherished the happiness in front of her very much. She started to welcome and see her off in brothels as a teenager, and then she kept wandering, which made her heart extremely tired. Especially when Xu Hai was defeated and she was wandering as a beggar, she was simply worse than death. It was Luo Xin who saved her from the sea of suffering and did not have to live a life of wandering around and fearing, so she cherished and was particularly grateful to Luo Xin.
During this period of time, she felt that Luo Xin was completely different. The rumors about Luo Xin in the world were a devil, cold and ruthless, with blood on her hands. But now she didn't hear anything. Luo Xin treated people sincerely and humorously. The most important thing was that Luo Xin never regarded her as a fair woman, nor as a pirate, nor as a disgusting her because she was a broken flower and willow. Instead, she was very nice and careful. This made her feel warmth that she had never felt before, and her heart was all over Luo Xin.
People like her were born in brothels when she was a child, got married twice, and married once. Not to mention the top scholar like Luo Xin, even ordinary businessmen would not marry her. Her heart was not placed on Luo Xin's body?
But through these few days, she has basically learned about Luo Xin's family situation and knows that Luo Xin's parents are there and there is a eldest brother, but she died in the grassland. There is a wife in the family, the daughter of Shilin celebrity Liu Tingfang. Luo Xin and Liu Rudai's childhood sweetheart, and they are very loving.
This made Wang Cuiqiao nervous. 6 Rudai was a lady from a family, and she was born in a brothel, with a broken flower and a broken willow. But this is not the case, she could not compare with 6 Rudai. Her identity and status were simply from heaven and underground.
6 Will Rudai tolerate her?
6Will Rudai allow people like her to enter the Luo family?
Will Luo Xin be lonely just because 6 Rudai is not around, and just play with her and will give her away at that time?
When Wang Cuiqiao thought of this, she felt confused. If a person had not enjoyed happiness, it would be fine. Because she didn't know the taste of happiness. But once she enjoyed happiness and lost it would be even more uncomfortable than killing her.
"No!
I can't leave the master, I don't want to compete for favor, as long as the master keeps me by my side."
Wang Cuiqiao sat on the chair weakly, and two lines of clear tears flowed down. After a while, he wiped his tears and his eyes showed a firm look.
"My identity and status are not as good as 6 Rudai, so I want to become a useful person to the master, so that the master cannot live without me, and I want to become a master's capable helper. But... what should I do?"
Besides, Luo Xin came to the second hall and ordered Lu Daqing to find the head of the Hangzhou Escort Agency. He knew very well that Luo Ye robbed Wang Zhi's three islands and would definitely transport some treasures that were not available to Taiwan Island to the Ming Maritime Bureau for the materials they needed to build Taiwan. These things cannot be known to Mao Haifeng. Once Mao Haifeng knew, he would probably follow the clues and find Taiwan Island. Today, Taiwan Island is still in its initial construction and may not be able to withstand Wang Zhi's army's encirclement. The best way is to secretly conduct Taiwan, and Wang Zhi and Xu Hai continue to fight, it is best to let them both lose money. At that time, Luo Sheng could come out to benefit, and maybe he could conquer both sides in one fell swoop and become the only overlord on the sea.
but……
I don’t know how Xu Hai and Xin Wulang are now, can they be evenly matched with Wang Zhi, or are they beaten to escape everywhere? If both sides cannot be injured, they will not be able to achieve the effect that Luo Xin needs.
If the uncle can lead some veterans to become people trusted by Xu Hai or Xin Wulang and join them, and increase Xu Hai's strength, Wang Zhi will suffer greater losses.
However, Xu Hai could not believe a group of strangers. Luo Xin shook his head and felt a headache. At this moment, the head of the escort agency was brought in by Lu Daqing, and Luo Xin took him into the study and told him his plan in detail.
Luo Xin's plan is very simple, that is, he would not let the materials from Taiwan Island enter the Maritime Bureau, but would secretly transport the materials away and let the escort agency transport them to the north, and then dispose of the accounts there, and transport them from the south to the north. Although there is a lot of car and horse fees, the price of the sold will double to twice. The materials needed by Taiwan Island will be raised by the Maritime Bureau. Of course, some things such as iron tools will be secretly sent to the ship.
After receiving the news, Tang Zhuang immediately started to operate. Tang Zhuang also rushed over from the capital in person, waiting for Luo Sheng to transport the things and things over.
This day.
Luo Xin was sitting in the second hall to process the official documents when he saw He Nian excitedly and said:
"Sir, the merchants of the vassal state are here again."
Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "How come the vassal merchants come back quickly?"
"No!" He Nian sat down and said, "It's not those merchants. Those merchants want to come back a year later. They are another group of vassal state merchants. These vassal state merchants returned to China after smuggling with six major families last year. Now they are coming from vassal states. They probably met those vassal state merchants who left vassal states and learned about the matter of the Maritime Bureau, so they did not visit Wang Zhi this time, but came directly to the Maritime Bureau."
“How many have you come?”
"Six and seven families, I heard that many of their group of smuggled back from the Ming Dynasty should come again and again these days. Sir, are we waiting for the business of those vassal states to come together after all the merchants of the vassal states to do this business together, or do as much as we do?"
Luo Xin frowned slightly and thought. He Nian beside him was about to speak when he saw Lu Daqing walking in and said:
"Mr. Marquis, Mr. 6 are here."
Luo Xin and He Nian looked at each other, and both of them understood what the five major families were doing here, so they said:
Chapter completed!
