I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

After Xu Bengao left, Zheng Zhiyan walked around in circles: "This person can't stay. It's obvious that he is here for revenge. Especially when I faced him just now, I felt like I was being targeted by a poisonous snake."

Zheng Zhipeng smiled bitterly and said: "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. If he said that he didn't want revenge, no one would believe it. If he just scolded me and started a fight, it would be easy to say, but now, he probably has some conspiracy in mind. But he is Ding You's former second-grade official! Can we really do it to him? If all the second-grade officials who returned to their hometowns died inexplicably, where would the imperial court's face be? If a strict investigation is carried out, what if? If you find out, things will become a big deal. Besides, how can such a person be so easy to kill?"

"What should I do?"

"Oh~ the soldiers will come to stop him. Fortunately, he is Ding You's second grade after all. I will go to Zhang Bingzhen to discuss it first, but I haven't figured out where his conspiracy came from. I really want to wait until Tu Qiongdeng sees him. , I’m afraid it’s already too late.”

"Then... what about giving him a fake one?"

"Impossible. He is the head of the Inspectorate in front of Ding You. He gave Zhang a fake job. Once something goes wrong, even Zhang Bingzhen won't be able to eat it. Maybe this is his purpose? It shouldn't be. It can't be so shallow. What's going on? What are you trying to figure out..."

A gust of fragrant wind drifted by, but Mrs. Yang sat on the edge and said: "I heard a rumor the day before yesterday. It's just a rumor. I don't know whether it is true or not, so I didn't report it to you. I don't know if it has anything to do with it."

"tell me the story."

"The day before yesterday, there was a table of horse traders from Guangdong. When they were drinking and bragging, they mentioned that Liu Xiang had been moving a lot recently and might want to go north. I asked a few more insidious questions. He also heard other people say this when they were drinking and bragging. But it’s hard to tell whether it’s true or false.”

Zheng Zhiyan immediately said: "This is impossible. He didn't dare to join forces with Zhong Bin when he was still there. Now that Zhong Bin has been destroyed, how can he dare to go north? To put it bluntly, no one can follow him along the coast of Fujian. When our Zheng family fights, we will destroy as many as we come."

Zheng Zhipeng thought about it for a long time and then said: "Who said that when Liu Xiang goes north, he must plunder Fujian? What if he goes further north and plunders Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Miss Yang, you also mean the same thing."

Madam Yang nodded and said, "I don't know anything about the sea. I wonder if this is possible."

Zheng Zhiyan was stunned for a moment and said: "This... plundering Jiangsu and Zhejiang should be even more impossible. Nanjing still has a fully-organized navy. Although the combat effectiveness is only average, there is always some. If we take the eldest brother again If they are lured and attacked from the shore and at sea, isn't he looking for death? Besides, they are all Cantonese, and they don't even know the road and don't understand the language. Who can he rob? Isn't this looking for death? "

"Then what if...I mean what if, Xu Bengao colluded with him."

Zheng Zhiyan stood up excitedly: "A second-grade official is in contact with the Japanese? How is this possible? Is he crazy? Besides, this is his hometown, what good will it do to him if he is in contact with the Japanese?"

Zheng Zhipeng said slowly: "Hatred makes people crazy. You said doing this is not good for him? Isn't it enough to kill me to avenge his father? Isn't it enough to kill my eldest brother as well?"

Zheng Zhiyan sat down on the chair, completely stunned, and said: "If he really dares to risk the world, then let's..."

"First, he asked for the coastal defense map and gave it to Liu Xiang. Then Liu Xiang pretended to be our family's flag and went ashore. He cooperated with the Xu family and plundered Songjiang first. I am afraid that Songjiang City will be captured in a few days and everyone will return home with a full load. The imperial court may not even be able to react. When the time comes, I will be dead.

I asked someone from our family to pretend to be him before. Now if someone pretends to be us and has a great success, it’s impossible to tell. We can’t say that they are the remnants of Zhong Bin. At his peak, Zhong Bin only had more than 2 people. Liu There are 5 to [-] people in Xiang, and even if we jump into the Yellow River, we can't wash away this shit basin. Maybe all the efforts that my eldest brother has made since he was recruited have been in vain, and he will be labeled as a rebel. "

Zheng Zhiyan swallowed hard, her face turned pale and her hands were cold.

"Even if the eldest brother is fine, he still has to fight against the Japanese bandits. You said that Liu Xiang came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to fight in a foreign country, but isn't the eldest brother the same? The eldest brother's confidence is nothing more than that he has recruited people and can get support and support from the government on shore at any time. We can also cooperate with the Nanjing Navy, but Xu Bengao was in charge of the Inspectorate before, but he just returned home as a filial piety and was not expelled from his post. If he used the name of supervision and inspection to investigate the Nanzhili troops and even our Zhengli Do you think the Nan Jingli gang who are sitting on the bench will reject him?

If all this news is passed to Liu Xiang, and if necessary he will delay the march of the court, then what is the advantage of the eldest brother over Liu Xiang?You must know that although Liu Xiang is not as powerful as his elder brother in terms of military strength, firepower, and financial resources, they have been looting all year round and are far better at fighting than our brothers. If it were a simple head-to-head confrontation, it is hard to say who will win. I am afraid that the victory will be a tragic victory.

Even if they win a miserable victory, are the Dutch on Treasure Island vegetarian?Even if Zheng Zhilong loses his tyrannical strength, can the court still tolerate him?This person is trying to kill our Zheng family! "

Madam Yang was a little frightened when she heard this, and whispered: "There is such a vicious person in the world. In order to take revenge, he first led thieves to massacre his hometown?"

"The Xu family has a watchtower, which is like a city within a city in Huating County. When the time comes, it will be said that the Japanese pirates are in a hurry and cannot be defeated. This move is enough to keep their family safe. As for the people in the same city, perhaps in his heart, it is far better to give him to his biological father Revenge is important."

Zheng Zhiyan said: "This...this is all conjecture. It should be more than that."

Zheng Zhipeng shook his head and said: "The more I think about it, the more I feel that it should be like this. Otherwise, why would he insist on setting up a defense plan? It's still in the Songjiang area. Besides, even if this matter is only half possible, we have to deal with it as seriously as possible. Let's go and see Zhang Bingzhen. .”

After that, Zheng Zhipeng pulled Zheng Zhiyan up her legs and left.

He turned around halfway and saluted Mrs. Yang with his fists clasped: "Thank you, madam. If this matter were true, if it weren't for my wife, I'd be afraid that all the Zheng family would have died because of this."

"Fourth Master must not do this. This is what I should do. Your investment is just for these gossips in the world. If the man hadn't come and remembered it today, this news would not have been reported to you. Come on, It should be my fault, and I want to ask Fourth Master not to blame me."

"Okay, then I won't be polite to my wife."

"Fourth Master, walk slowly."

Zheng Zhipeng indeed no longer wanted to be polite to her. After a few simple chats, he went out to ride a horse and hurriedly went to the governor's Yamen to look for Zhang Bingzhen.
