I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

Zheng Zhipeng took a moment to look at Zhang Bingzhen, the legendary frontier official, the immediate boss of Zhejiang Province, one of the legendary mainstays of the Sea Ban Sect, and one of the leading figures of the Donglin Party.

Ordinarily this should be an enemy.

But at this status, whether there is hatred or resentment, it is so easy to tell the difference. The important thing is to drink from the golden cup together and not to show mercy. Before I saw this kind of person, he always smiled at everyone. of.

At least in Zheng Zhipeng's eyes at this time, he was quite kind. He was wearing regular clothes and had a beautiful beard. Although he was nearly fifty years old, he had an elegant temperament and was quite charming.

Zhang Bingzhen was naturally also looking at Zheng Zhipeng, and couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart.

For a person like him, if he is a loser, he doesn't even need to speak. He can tell with just a glance that he is a young man with some talent. He can tell people about him in just three sentences. They were inseparable, but he couldn't understand the trash and shit that everyone knew before him.

Wearing a green shirt, made of fine cloth, and a pair of ordinary black shoes with soles in both hands, also made of cloth. There is no jewelry on the body, and there is no trace of unruliness or flattery on the face. There is even a little elegance. This temperament is like He is a teacher.

After chatting with each other for a few words, Zhang Bingzhen saw that he responded appropriately, with great courtesy, and was neither humble nor arrogant. Apparently he had not lost his sense of proportion because of his status. He couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. This was already on par with a few rare talents he knew. After all, It seems that even if a high-ranking official like him deliberately restrains himself, his official authority is real, not to mention that he has not restrained himself at all.

After a few polite words, Zhang Bingzhen asked: "There are rumors in the market that General Zheng San has come to Hangzhou in person and invited friends from three mountains and five mountains to gather together. I have also heard about General Zheng San's bravery for a long time. In my name, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet General Zheng San?"

Zheng Zhipeng laughed when he heard this and said: "Master Bu Tang is joking. Everyone knows that my eldest brother is fighting against the Japanese pirate Zhong Bin. The third brother is my eldest brother's right-hand man. How can we separate ourselves? Naturally, it is in the Fujian-Jiangang-Guangdong area. , how could he come to Hangzhou? Besides, if my third brother is really in Hangzhou, how dare he not greet the minister in person."

Zhang Bingzhen was even more suspicious when she heard this. After all, everyone knew that Zheng Zhibao had arrived in Songjiang before. The so-called Liu Xiang's men were probably deceiving villagers and village women. Zheng Zhipeng's words were clearly nonsense, but It made him even more suspicious that Zheng Zhibao had arrived.

However, these two sentences also conveyed a message to him, that is, even if Zheng Zhibao comes to Hangzhou, it is impossible to really see him, because the official statement is that Liu Xiang is coming this time, and he knows in his heart that it is Liu Xiang. One thing is another matter on the surface, but it is another matter. Unexpectedly, the Zheng family is obviously from a group of Japanese pirates, but they still know how to be an official.

On second thought, some of the things he said to Zheng Zhipeng seemed to be the same. If Zheng Zhibao really came, I think he would relay it on his behalf. And if Zheng Zhibao didn't come, judging from this person's behavior just now, he can no longer be regarded as a Here comes the dandy trash.

"Since General Zheng San is not here, then Mr. Zheng is the one who can handle this heroes conference?"

"Sir, Lord, is joking again. It's just a villain asking some friends to gather at home. How can it be called a hero's conference?"

Zhang Bingzhen's eyebrows knitted even tighter upon hearing this. If the Tai Chi practice continued like this, they wouldn't be able to talk about it until dark.

He simply showed off his cards and said: "Mr. Zheng, can you give me a face and turn the feud with the Xu family into friendship and stop causing trouble? If the Xu family has anything against you, I will be the host and set a table for them." How about the head of the family, Xu Lang, apologize to you?"

Zheng Zhipeng was surprised and said: "Xu family? Are you talking about the Xu family, the fourth generation of scarlet robes after Wen Zhengong? This... where do you start talking about this? My brother is just a small guerrilla general, and he is borrowing from us." Even if you are extremely brave, you would not dare to provoke such a prominent eunuch family. Besides, they are from a scholarly family, and we are the gangsters who suppress bandits and fight against the Japanese. We have never interacted with each other on weekdays. We are stupid and we really don’t know. What do you mean, sir?"

"Mr. Zheng, I am also a parent official of Zhejiang Province. Although I have always advocated that the imperial court ban the sea, that is a matter between me and your eldest brother, or even a matter between me and Xiong Wencan. It should have nothing to do with you. After all, you live in Hangzhou now, do you think it's appropriate to pretend to be confused with me?"

"Oh~ Could it be that Master Bu Tang is talking about the Xu family being robbed by Liu Xiang's men? I have also heard about it, and I even wrote a letter to my brother, but what can I do? My eldest brother and Zhong Bin have already been beaten. At the most critical moment, we really can’t get away! We even have no way to divide our forces!”

Zhang Bingzhen was furious in her heart, but she didn't show any expression on her face. She just said: "I don't know when Liu Xiang's hand reached Jiangnan. How could your brother allow him to stretch his hand so long! "

"Isn't this a fight with Zhong Bin? There is nothing we can do about it, but don't worry, my elder brother said that as long as he gets rid of Zhong Bin, he will go south to hunt down Liu Xiang."

"Humph!"

Zhang Bingzhen flicked her sleeves angrily, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, she knocked over the tea cup on the table.

"Xiaodie, go and clean up Mr. Butang. Xiaolian, go and make a new cup for Mr. Butang."

"No need. Since Mr. Zheng is pretending to be confused, I can speak frankly. Regardless of whether General Zheng San comes or not, you must know that it is not easy for your brother to recruit him. He has worked hard for more than ten years, and the Xu family is a literary After Zhen Gong, the fourth generation of Fei Pao, with deep roots and big leaves, is the leader of our Donglin Party. If a family of this kind were to be destroyed by our Japanese pirates ashore, regardless of whether it was Liu Xiang's doing, your brother, who resisted the Japanese Guerrilla warfare may have come to an end, so I would like to write a letter asking Xiong Wencan how he, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, leads the troops!"

Zheng Zhipeng said with a smile: "My lord, you are joking again. You and Governor Xiong are both second-grade officials and border officials. If there is any communication between you two, it will be called a state secret. How can you be a idle person like me?" What do you say?"

"you……"

Zhang Bingzhen stood up angrily, and Zheng Zhipeng naturally stood up and bowed humbly, thinking that he was going to walk away. Unexpectedly, this guy stood up, took a deep breath, and then sat down again.

"That's all, I can ignore your affairs with the Xu family. Anyway, Songjiang Mansion is not under my control."

"If you have any instructions, sir, please state them clearly."

"You are a kid. Although you are not old, you are still very good at it. I am looking down on you. I won't go around with you. To put it bluntly, there are currently only a few soldiers and horses left in Hangzhou city that can be dispatched. We've reached 3000 people. You can't hold a meeting like this and just ask me to mobilize troops from other places.

Of course, I know that your Zheng family will not cause trouble for me. Otherwise, with the strength of General Zheng San, he might not be able to rob Hangzhou. These are the friends Mr. Zheng invited this time. They are very unruly. Unruly people, even if Mr. Zheng has no other purpose, there is no guarantee that none of these friends will cause trouble.With the current strength of the troops in Hangzhou, if a big incident occurs, I will naturally be held responsible, and my brother may not be able to explain to the court. "

"I understand, I understand, it is the city of Hangzhou that does not welcome these friends of mine."

"That's right. If you really have to open up now, you and I will each take a step back and open outside Chun'an County. I will dispatch troops and horses from all over the place to wait here, just in case."

Zheng Zhipeng laughed when he heard this.Just waiting for this sentence.

"Why bother? Isn't Chun'an also under your jurisdiction? If something goes wrong, wouldn't you be able to explain it to the superiors? How about we not go to the Zhejiang-Jiang border now?"

"Where do you want to drive?"

"What about Songjiang? It's not far from Hangzhou, but it belongs directly to Nanzhili. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you. As long as you issue an order, let the provincial officials not embarrass us. How about I also write a letter to the Songjiang Magistrate and say hello to him in advance so that he doesn’t misunderstand me? I can promise not to even enter the Songjiang Mansion and just build a village outside the city."
