Beiyang new warlord

"Young Master, let me introduce you. This is Master Zhao, a well-known knife cobbler in Xiaodao Hutong in the capital. In the past, many father-in-laws in the palace were served by Master Zhao. Taking care of it, the craftsmanship has begun to be a must!"

While Luo Zhen was stunned, the hunchbacked old man lit the lamp again, and put the tool bag hanging on his body on another table. Inside the bag, he took out a knife with a curved hook, gleaming with cold light. But there was a ferocious and perverted smile on his simple and honest face.

"Treasurer Chu is absurdly praised. It's because the father-in-law thinks highly of it. However, your majesty has not used the old man's skills for a long time, and they are all rusty!"

The smiling face disappeared, replaced by a sense of fear in his heart. Hearing Master Zhao tinkering with those iron guys, the hair on his body stood up uncontrollably. Surprised and angry, Luo Zhen couldn't believe it. roared.

"Chu Tian, ​​what are you going to do? Just, I just made a little joke. You want to eunuch me and your own husband? Are you crazy?"

"A joke? Young Master, it was a joke! Then I'll make a joke with you, too!"

On the pretty cheeks, the coquettish and weird smile made Chu Tian look like a fox spirit waiting to eat people's hearts. She hugged her arms full of smiles, and she shook her little head playfully.

"My family also wants to earn some pocket money in the tourism industry of the Wa country, but Mr. Cao Xi, the treasurer of the Shengtai Heda shop in the country of Wa, has been in a bad mood recently, and refuses to give this pocket money to my family! It makes my family's rouge money not enough to spend !"

"Treasurer Cao was born in the palace in his early years, but his treasure was destroyed when the intruders entered the city. At his age, he might travel westward at some point! But it is said that if he does not bury his treasure with him, he will die in the next life." Maybe he was reincarnated as an animal, because of this, Master Cao is very irritable!"

"My lord, please help my concubine and make Mr. Cao happy, okay?"

This is not a joke, the castration knife was dipped in high-grade wine, and a blue light was already burning in the fire, the cold wind outside the window made the room shiver from the cold, but bean-sized beads of sweat continued to flow from Luo Zhen's forehead Flowing down, seeing Chu Tian's charming smile, in the incomparable panic and anger, he struggled with his hands and feet fixed on the shackle bed, screaming in panic.

"My surname is Chu, my lord, I am an official! The court wants to investigate, if something happens to me, you can't bear to go around, let me go, let go!"

Seeing him like a trapped animal, flopping on the wooden bed, and listening to his threats, Chu Tian suddenly raised her head and smiled coquettishly, covering her small mouth, her giggling echoed in the dark night sky , Just like the fox fairy's sly smile, Luo Zhen felt chills all over his body when he heard it.

"Young master is so innocent and cute! Do you think you are going to be an official now?"

"You said it yourself, the new government system is extremely strict, and the slave family doesn't have such great supernatural powers, so they can buy an official position."

Qing Congyu pointed at the tip of Luo Zhen's fiery nose, and Chu Tian's laughter became more cheerful again.

"However, the official status cannot be bought, but the civil status can be sold! Especially the old Lai who doesn't pay back the loan like the young master! The government allows people like you to sell Daming's citizenship to repay the debt owed by the government!"

Smiling, she turned around and returned to the small table where she had just counted the money, and patted the box. Chu Tian said with a coquettish smile, "My son is worth a lot! In exchange for my son's status, I am naturalized, Sir Duffy of Portugal. But I gave the concubine 1000 taels of gold!"

"So you don't have to worry about the slave family. The son is now a savage from Fanbang and is not protected by Ming Dynasty. After the son is castrated, the government will not trouble the slave family!"

"Besides, you don't need to worry about it after the young master is castrated. Although Daming doesn't need eunuchs anymore, the nobles from the barbarian states in the five Central South countries and Southeast Asia still need them, especially the young master, who is a scholar who is born as a scholar, and is even more sought-after. The slave family has collected 1 taels of silver, and has already found a home for the young master! That family will definitely love the young master!"

"Young master, you are truly a nobleman of the slave family!"

He was really used by this woman to the fullest, sold his identity, used his precious guy to curry favor with the former eunuch to make money, and was even sold out by her in the end. At this moment, Luo Zhen really experienced despair!

The despair of being betrayed, loneliness, anger, all kinds of emotions are entangled in his chest, like a wild beast, Luo Zhen is extremely manic, struggling with the wood on his body, facing the back of Chu Tian walking out, tearing his heart Lung-cracking growl.

"Chu Tian, ​​bitch! It's in vain that I trust you so much! You treat me like this! You're going to die so badly!"

While he was yelling loudly, Master Zhao stuffed a hard-boiled egg into his mouth with ease, and he almost choked on the crushed egg yolk instantly, and the anger and curses in his stomach also It was all stuck in the mouth with sticky eggs.

There was a chill in his lower body, and the sharp knife directly cut his silk trousers. In his fearful eyes, Master Zhao was wearing leather gloves professionally. .

And amidst Luo Zhen's screams of shock and despair, Chu Tian's next words made his blood-red eyes widen for an instant. He walked to the door with the golden box in his arms, and suddenly Chu Tian was stunned again. Slapped his head and turned his head again.

"By the way, look at the head of the Nu family, I almost forgot! Your Majesty and Sister Luo Yu also asked the Nu family to say hello to the young master! Wish the young master a good night, haha~"

Amid the silver bell-like laughter, the door was slammed shut with a bang, and Chu Tian's departure also took away Luo Zhen's last hope. Amidst his groaning as he was stuffed with broken eggs, he made up his mind. The small knife maker at the knife position held the sharp machete vigorously, and cut hard against the drawn surgical line.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!"

Chapter 865. Hunting

No wonder people say Jiangnan is good. At the end of January, Liaodong is still covered with ice and snow, but Hangzhou has begun to show a little warmth. It is estimated that winter is the most useless here. It has been sucked out, and now only the slight frost on the eaves can prove its existence.

Businessmen value profit over parting, but if it is not for the beautiful and decent life of the whole family, who would want to leave the warm home and travel on the ocean?It is precisely because of this beautiful driving force to revitalize the family business and leave wealth for future generations that just after the New Year's Eve, Hangzhou Port, which has only rested for a few days, is busy again. The goods transported out of the factory were pulled to the heavy wooden arm cranes. A dozen strong men who were responsible for pulling the pulley blocks were already sweating dryly, and even threw the company's rationed coats at their feet in the cold sea breeze. .

On the other side, shopkeepers and clerks in mink jackets or neat cotton coats kept waving their hands, saying goodbye to their families outside the port fence.

However, this thriving area is not so good for some people. No one knows that just under the busy port, there is a dark secret passage, which is responsible for transporting some "special" goods.

Luo Zhen is one of these special goods.

His upper body was naked, and in this late winter and early spring, he was so cold that his body was purple and rickety, but he couldn't cry out because his mouth was stuffed with a pile of rags and his hands were tied in front of him. , was dragged forward by guarded soldiers like cattle.

Killing is nothing more than nodding.It was too easy for Mao Jue to kill him! But it was too cheap for him! Confucius once said: Complain with straightness, and repay virtue with virtue! So what Mao Jue wants to deal with him is to let him experience the same, being the last The closest and most trusted person betrayed, used everything about him, and then was abandoned, the pain and humiliation brought about, and then let him continue to live in pain and humiliation.

When you die, there is nothing left!Living is punishment!

After undergoing a castration operation, the things on his body were given to another eunuch as a precious burial object, and he was sold overseas as a slave. Luo Zhen is obviously broken, his eyes are dull, like a walking dead being dragged.

Fortunately, he is not lonely, there are still five or sixty people who are being dragged together, no matter how bright the empire is, there are undercurrents surging below, no matter how kind, Mao Jue still has to deal with some political prisoners who are in the wrong team and status , overseas, has become their only destination.

Passing through this dark corridor, boarded the lower deck through a hatchway that was left aside from the shore, and was suddenly pushed into a crowded cell. The door was slammed shut.

The revenge against him ends here, I am afraid that Luo Zhen will not be able to escape the fear, torment and torture in his heart in this life!

After sending him to sea, Mao Jue was finally relieved, and as a king again, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his empire.

Like the people seeing off below, the royal family is also experiencing parting, except that others are sending off their husbands, while Mao Jue is sending off their daughter-in-law.

The mature uncle's temptation to Lori is undoubtedly great. During this period of time, the two have completed this great revenge together. The relationship between Mao Jue and Luo Yu has obviously warmed up a lot, but this is not a good thing. Let this farewell obviously have a lot more reluctance.

In the luxurious dedicated passage, Mao Jue personally pulled the luggage for Luo Yu, while holding her little hand with the other hand, the two walked side by side until the end of the passageway, where they could already see moored in the distance swaying in the harbor When he was on the big merchant ship, he just stopped, handed the luggage to Luo Yu with some reluctance, and said goodbye dryly.

"All the way, take care!"

"The concubine knows it, please rest assured, as long as the concubine is here, there will be no disturbances in Zhongnan!"

"Um"

Maybe both of them are professional and more proficient and sensational. The more formulaic farewell suddenly made the parting scene a little awkward. I didn't know what to say. Holding the big box, Luo Yu walked towards the ship dully.

However, halfway through the walk, the little girl suddenly turned her head eagerly, her little face flushed, but she mustered up her courage and waved her hand at Mao Jue.

"do not forget me!!!"

Mao Jue did not answer her shout, but simply took it out from the collar. A moment later, a handle was inlaid with rubies, and he took out the delicate golden feather. Under the shining light, Luo Yu was obviously surprised to see the feather, and after a while, Luo Yu showed a shy smile in surprise, lowered his head again, and his steps were obviously a little lighter.

However, watching her get on the boat, Mao Jue's smile couldn't help dimming. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Luo Yu had the smell of a substitute for Luo Ning after all. The two women from the Luo family, but It is so completely different, if, if that year, maybe the two people will have another ending, right?

However, the emotion only lasted for a moment, and he calmed down and rushed back to the carriage. In fact, this battle has just begun, and there are still many things waiting for him, the decision maker, to do!

Regarding the strategy of Zhongnan, Ming did not change too much. After all, the influence of the Ming Empire in the Indochina Peninsula was obviously far greater than that of the Dutch. The East India Company only needed to continue to export weapons and take advantage of the war to further control the economies of several countries. The lifeline, now the Dutch have only infiltrated a Taungoo dynasty, and their power is weak, and there is no trouble in Zhongnan.

However, this war with the Netherlands eventually affected Zhongnan.
