I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

Zheng Zhipeng knew very well that his business in the Shaoxing mining area was challenging the entire Donglin Party. This was not a matter of just one mining area, but a challenge to the entire rules, rules that Emperor Wanli did not even understand back then.

Regarding this kind of matter, those gentlemen dared to confront even the emperor, and even dared to change the emperor if they were pushed to the limit, even if it meant shaking the country's foundation. How could they tolerate Zheng Zhipeng?

So Zheng Zhipeng was actually ready to face the storm, but facing the Donglin Party does not mean facing the entire court, so Zheng Zhipeng directly took half of the shares and gave them to no one but the eunuchs, completely destroying himself. He has completely turned into a eunuch. Anyway, he will definitely fight to the death with the Donglin Party in the future.

He also believed that in the face of such a major event, neither Eunuch Yang nor Cao Huachun would dare to put money into their own pockets.In essence, what he is doing now is no different from the mine supervisor in Wanli.

Soon, Eunuch Yang finished the discussion with Zheng Zhipeng, and simply stayed at the Weaving Yamen for dinner in the evening. Eunuch Yang also called his woman out to accompany him, which was a bit like his own. After the meal was finished, , Zheng Zhipeng and Yang Xu said goodbye and left. Eunuch Yang said earnestly and sincerely:

"Fourth Master Zheng, I do admire your courage, but it is no longer as good as the previous one. My master wants stability and does not dare to let the court start a partisan fight in any case. Money is certainly a good thing, but if you send me this silver , how much things can be done, and whether I can protect you, but it is really hard to say. In my judgment, it is even impossible for the master to stand up for you personally. "

"Thank you, Eunuch Yang, for reminding me. I know it. But our Zheng family is not made of dough after all. We have to have the Lord Long Live personally to save it."

Eunuch Yang nodded and said, "As long as you understand, I won't give it to you."

"You stay."

After that, Zheng Zhipeng led Yang Xu out, full of worries.

"Fourth Master, where are we going now?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhipeng said naturally: "It's getting late now, so I won't go back to Hangzhou yet. I have a private hospital in Suzhou, which is Tang Bohu's Taohuawu. You can come with me to rest for the night."

But he saw Yang Xu frowning, with a rare look of disdain on his face, and then said: "Uh... forget it, Fourth Master, I am familiar with the eunuchs in the Weaving Bureau, otherwise I will live here. Come on, it just so happens that I have some personal matters, so I won’t go back to Hangzhou with you."

After that, Yang Xu actually turned around and went back, which shocked Zheng Zhipeng.

After a while, Zheng Zhipeng seemed to realize something. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he could only sigh.He has been thinking about world affairs all day long recently, and he has not thought about the love between his children for a long time.

The guards around him all saw the clues, but most of them were silent and didn't dare to ask. Only Xiao Wang hesitated and asked: "Fourth Master, are we still going to Taohuawu?"

Zheng Zhipeng glared at him angrily and said, "Go! Of course, where else will I live? Do I live in the Weaving Bureau like Yang Xu?"

Xiao Wang smiled and retreated, while Zheng Zhipeng looked at the clean Suzhou River and suddenly wanted to recite a poem, but he couldn't hold it in for a long time.

Forget it, I'm just a vulgar person, talking about poetry and pictures, anyway, Chen Yuanyuan is beautiful, that's enough.

In fact, as soon as Zheng Zhipeng arrived in Taohuawu and saw Chen Yuanyuan's peerless appearance, he immediately threw all his thoughts out of the sky. After all, men are still visual animals. It is basically a foul to look like Chen Yuanyuan. , who still has the mind to think about other women?

When she got up early the next morning, Chen Yuanyuan took a round bowl of glutinous rice balls and fed it to Zheng Zhipeng with her own hands. Although Zheng Zhipeng really couldn't bear the idea of ​​killing the candy sellers in Suzhou cuisine, Chen Yuanyuan had worked so hard to make them. For his own sake, he still ate up a bowl of glutinous rice balls. Perhaps this is what people often call a beautiful meal.

"Fourth Master, that Yang Xu...has he encountered any difficulties recently?"

When Zheng Zhipeng heard the word Yang Xu, he immediately sat up. This kid is definitely not a good person, and he may not have the courage to plot against Chen Yuanyuan. His expression was quite serious: "Have you been in contact with him? He took the initiative to find you?"

Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said: "That's not true, but I am quite concerned about his affairs. It was I who took the initiative to send people to inquire about his affairs. Aren't they all saying that he is your brother-in-law?"

Zheng Zhipeng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't mess with him, don't recruit him, and don't listen to the rumors outside. He is not my brother-in-law, but to you... forget it, there is no explanation for this. Qing, in short, you can stay as far away from him as you can, this guy is a treacherous guy, I'm afraid you will have to count the money for him if he sells you."

"Yes."

After a pause, Zheng Zhipeng asked: "You said he encountered difficulties?"

"Ah, I heard someone say that he is raising money everywhere recently."

"money?"

Zheng Zhipeng was really stunned now.

"What does he need money for? Why didn't he tell me that he was short of money?"

"I don't know about this concubine. All the big merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou know about this. He relied on his relationship with the Weaving Bureau to book a piece of the dock on the Suzhou River. He also relied on your relationship to get There are a lot of foreign goods. To open a Wanhuo Trading Company on the Suzhou River, it will be very big. It may cost 40 to 40 taels of silver. I also feel puzzled. Since he has such a relationship with you, he has always been close to you. Winning your trust is like being my right-hand man. To others, these [-] to [-] are an incredible amount, but to you, it is just a drop in the bucket. His... concubine really can’t understand."

When Zheng Zhipeng heard this, he glared at Chen Yuanyuan rather coldly. His investigation was so clear that this was by no means as simple as asking casually, and if he thought about it carefully, he did mean to sow discord.

Normally, I should have scolded her a little at this time, but this woman was so beautiful that I couldn't say anything serious, so I could only say dullly: "I know."

Immediately fell into contemplation.

He didn't pay much attention to this trivial matter, otherwise the writing style would easily be distorted into a female pornographic article. What he was more concerned about was what Yang Xu was thinking in his heart.

To be honest, Yang Xu didn't really pay much attention to him at first, and even regarded him more as an accessory to his sister. However, in less than a year, the little bastard grew up at a speed that is unbelievable. Zheng Zhipeng I still clearly remember the scene yesterday when he entered Eunuch Yang's bedroom without knocking on the door.

That was to show off my strength to myself, and I was really surprised that I was very successful.

Faintly, Yang Xu had a premonition that he was about to lose control, which made him feel bad.
