I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

Zheng Zhipeng probably went crazy for half the night, so the three of them stayed with him for half the night. They were all worried for a while.

Finally in the middle of the night, Zheng Zhipeng finally stopped. His body no longer twisted randomly, his expression became peaceful, and he motioned with his eyes to take the thing off his mouth.

"Fourth uncle, are you okay? Then I'll put you down now."

"No, Fourth Uncle hasn't gotten over it yet. It's only temporary now. You'd better keep me tied up. You can ask the chef to make me something to eat."

"Fourth uncle, what on earth is going on?"

Zheng Zhipeng thought for a moment and said, "My fourth uncle has been poisoned by someone."

"A trick?"

"Yes, this Xiaoyao ointment is the poison that has been cast on me. You have seen how I am. In addition to being addictive, this thing will also get into your brain, make you confused, and even control your thoughts. Fourth uncle did a lot of stupid things in the past, all related to this thing."

Take the opportunity to throw the blame.

"This... this thing is so scary? Fourth uncle, do you know who is harming you?"

"I haven't got around to checking it out yet, but as far as I know, this thing is not native to China. It came from the sea. I suspect that the Dutch deliberately sold it to us, and this thing is breaking. In the past, the influence on people was subtle and could not be detected at all. If this thing is used on a large scale by us Ming people..."

Zheng Chenggong flew into a rage and cursed: "You red-haired devil, you have a vicious heart!"

"You will write a letter to your eldest brother later and inform him of this matter. Our family has the final say on the sea for the time being. In any case, we cannot let this thing appear in the Ming Dynasty again. As for me, I don't have the final say. If you know when to quit this thing, help me. If you don't quit it, your fourth uncle will be a waste for the rest of his life."

"Okay, fourth uncle, don't worry, my nephew will fully support you."

After a while, the raw crab roe porridge made by the kitchen was ready, and Mr. Tagawa fed it to him with his own hands. Zheng Zhipeng asked them for cigars and took two puffs, which made him feel frightened for a while.

The poison he was poisoned was only the most primitive opium, which was swallowed, so the poisoning was not deep and there was a possibility of withdrawal. Compared with the purified white powder in later generations, I really don’t know what kind of torture it was, working in this industry Really, five minutes of shooting is not too much.

In this way, a month passed.

For a month, Zheng Zhipeng went crazy every day at first, then once every two or three days, and then didn't go crazy for seven or eight days. By this time, he was finally almost cured.

During this period, Zheng Zhilong came over in person once, and happened to catch up with Zheng Zhipeng going crazy once. This heroic figure was so distressed that he burst into tears. It is said that he had a big fight with the Dutch when he returned. From then on, he established a rule that no one would do anything on the sea. Anyone who touches this thing will die.

After his drug addiction subsided, Zheng Zhipeng stopped being tied up all the time, but he never returned to his own yard. He insisted on learning swordsmanship from Iemon every day and exercising. His body was originally due to excessive drinking and sex. Coupled with being tortured by opium, it was actually already very bad, and I had to work ten times harder to recover.

During this process, the Tagawa family had a much better impression of him. After all, the pain was obvious, and his perseverance was enough to impress them. This was not something that a good-for-nothing kid could do. As for what he had done before, All the absurd things they did were naturally caused by opium.

Another month passed and drug addiction never recurred. Zheng Zhipeng was finally sure that he had successfully detoxified.

When I think of this, I feel like even the sunshine has become warmer, and my heart is bright everywhere.

It's not easy, it's really not easy.

Zheng Zhipeng also cooked himself and made several modern side dishes to entertain the Tagawa family. He also made an exception and asked Kinkiemon to join him in the meal. He picked up the wine glass and said: "Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you nephew, Thank you brother Youemon, without you, I might have been a useless person in this life, so I respect you first."

Tagawa stumbled and said, "Uncle, it's hard to say that. It's you who has perseverance."

"Sister-in-law, I have one more unkind favor."

"Uncle, please tell me."

"I want to borrow Brother Eemon to help me for a while. I have suffered such a big crime for nothing. This matter can't be let go just like this no matter what. The people in my front yard are all when I was bewitched. I don’t know if there is an opponent’s spy to recruit me, so I’m really embarrassed to use it, and I don’t dare to use it.”

Tagawa smiled and said: "Since I married into the Zheng family, I am the Zheng family's daughter-in-law. My uncle is too outsider. Iemon, in the next period of time, you will work with your uncle."

"Yes."

"Thank you sister-in-law."

After drinking a few more drinks, Zheng Zhipeng wisely stood up and left. He had been really tormented by others in the past two months. He knew very well that the Tagawa family did not want him to come into contact with Zheng Chenggong, regardless of whether he was a dandy or not.

Needless to say, he is not a dandy. In fact, they are even more reluctant to let their son come into contact with him, because the two of them want to train Zheng Chenggong to be a scholar. They have never mentioned the family business matters to Zheng Chenggong. Just a few words.

Although Zheng Zhipeng knew very well that being a pirate leader these days was far more promising than being a scholar or even a high official, no one except him believed this.

When he returned to his yard, the first thing Zheng Zhipeng did was to dismiss all the servants who usually followed him around, gave each of them a severance pay of 200 taels, and asked the Tagawa family to help him hire another batch. .

What kind of master looks for what kind of slaves? To Zheng Zhipeng at this time, these people are nothing but an eyesore.

Even the maids, only two were left to pass through the room. This kind of woman is almost the same as a concubine. If they are released, they will be killed. One of them is called Xiaodie, and the other is called Xiaodie. Their name is Xiaolian, Xiaodie is good at playing the jade flute, and Xiaolian is good at playing the pipa. This is a skinny horse bought into the family at a cost of 500 taels of silver, but she is not a plundered girl.

In these days of war and chaos, even a maid who could serve on the stove was only worth three or four taels of silver, but these two skinny horses cost him a total of 1000 taels. It is conceivable that such a figure has its own extraordinary qualities, and he also He is not a moral saint, so he is left here to be used.

"Xiaodie, do you remember who gave it to me when I first took Xiaoyao Cream?"

"Didn't Fourth Master always get the Xiaoyao Cream from Yan Daguan?"

"Yan Yunda? I understand. Please send someone to come and invite him over."

"Yes."

This Yan Yunda is a sworn brother of his predecessor. His family owns a herbal medicine shop in Hangzhou City. He doesn't have anything serious to do on weekdays. He just plays with his predecessor all day long and relies on his family connections to monopolize the market. The spice business in Hangzhou can be regarded as a wealthy man in the city from now on, but in fact he is his follower and a loser.

In the impression, Yan Yunda himself did not take Xiaoyao ointment, so he probably knew the toxicity of this stuff. Therefore, Zheng Zhipeng judged that there was a [-]% possibility that Yan Yunda was deliberately harming him. Even if he was wronged, haha, he was wronged if he was wronged. That’s it.
