At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 359

When Huai En heard that there was a boat going to Ningbo, why did he go back to Nanjing? Just follow along!

That night, he found someone and said he was going to the city to handle errands the next day, so he asked him to deliver a letter and promised that he would receive a reward of two taels of silver after delivery. and left.

In the city of Nanjing, Xiao Jing was almost dying of anxiety. The arrival of this letter made a big stone in his heart finally fall to the ground.

"Thank you!"

"that……"

Xiao Jing saw that the other party hesitated to speak, so he asked: "The person who wrote the letter... did he ask you to bring something else?"

The man scratched his head embarrassingly, and said: "The gentleman said, if the letter is delivered, I will give you two taels of silver..."

Immediately afterwards, a silver ingot appeared in front of him, and it seemed that the size was more than two taels.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Xiao Jing returned the gift with a smile: "It is we who want to thank you!"

The man took the silver and left with gratitude, Xiao Jing immediately summoned the Xichang team and went straight to Ningbo.

At this time, Wynn was sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at the broad river, in a daze.

It was a fluke to escape from death this time.

If he hadn't found the dark river from the cave, or if those people had directly killed him...

But I don't know where Li San, who killed a thousand swords, is now. When this person is found, he must be hacked into thousands of swords to vent his hatred!
Thinking of this person, I thought of my childhood, the memory that had been dusted for a long time.

He thought that the past had disappeared with time, but Li San's sudden appearance made him have to face this reality.

Yes, I am the prisoner.

Since entering the palace, it has been a great honor to start as a little transparent, step by step, to become the eunuch in the hands of the Chief of Ceremonies, but...

In Li San's case, no matter what, he would definitely be implicated.

Even if he could save his life, the position of the Supervisor of Ceremonies would definitely change hands.

So far, the only option is to catch Li San, kill the thief, and then take the initiative to resign from the emperor, and go to guard the mausoleum of the late emperor, and spend the rest of his life.

Damn, Li San, the dog thief, actually recognizes the thief as his father!

I have long known that building slaves is not a good thing, otherwise, why would the emperor order to destroy them.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, his eyes were red, and he almost stood up and cursed a few words to vent his hatred.

"Master Cao still does business with foreigners?"

"That's right, let me tell you, those foreigners... have green eyes!"

"Green? Isn't that a fairy?"

"Don't tell me, those foreign women look...really like seductive little fairies..."

In the cabin, several boatmen were chatting and joking. Wynn listened and didn't take it to heart.

Since the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, many merchants, headed by the imperial court, have also started doing business with the surrounding small countries.

For example, countries such as North Korea, Ryukyu, Java, and Zhenwa are rich in products. Materials such as spices, silver, cane sugar, and ivory are transported to Daming for huge profits, and Daming’s silk, cotton, porcelain, and other goods are also sold locally. Can sell for a good price.

Since it was profitable, those people abroad were not fools, and Daming couldn't make all the money. Therefore, foreign merchant ships also came to Daming with goods, and landed from the southeast coast.

It is normal for these boatmen to have seen foreigners.

After Wynn listened, he didn't take it to heart. He only wanted to find the emperor as soon as possible after arriving in Ningbo and explain everything clearly.

I am innocent, the traitor Li San who killed a thousand swords...

"...You sure don't know, Mr. Cao has done big business with foreigners!"

"Which of those rich people doesn't do big business with foreigners?"

"You don't understand this, the relationship between Mr. Cao and foreigners...is not an ordinary business!"

"What else is there, isn't it just buying some silk and porcelain and reselling them, what's so unusual?"

"Look, don't you know?"

The boatman who spoke was Wang Fusheng, and he seemed to have drunk too much, and he began to talk loudly.

"Even if Mr. Cao sells things to foreigners, even ten boats of silk and porcelain can't be exchanged!"

"What the hell is it, mysterious..."

"Hey... I really can't tell you this!"

Wang Fusheng shook his head with a mysterious look on his face.

"Just brag, you kid!"

"Who is bragging?"

Wang Fusheng blushed and said loudly: "I will tell you today, but I have something to say first, and no one can say it, otherwise... it will be the crime of beheading!"

The other boatmen didn't take it seriously at all, they thought he was bragging after drinking too much, and the leader was called Zhang Laoliu, so he joked: "OK, let's not say it, you can say it!"

"I've said it, you all sit still, after listening, don't drop your jaws in shock!"

Zhang Laoliu said with great interest: "Hurry up and tell us, kid, it will shock us!"

"Humph!"

Wang Fusheng first snorted disdainfully, then lowered his voice, and said three words: "Ironclad Ship!"

Zhang Laoliu froze for a moment, then asked, "What did you say?"

"I said... an ironclad ship!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhang Laoliu burst into laughter immediately, and all the boatmen followed suit, as if they had heard something very funny.

Outside the cabin, Wynn's face suddenly became tense.

He still stood outside, but focused on the conversation of these people.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Hahahaha... I didn't laugh, haha..."

"Zhang Lao Liu, you don't believe me?"

"I believe, I believe...haha!"

"Then you still laugh?"

"I, I... Yesterday, my mother-in-law just gave birth to a big fat boy, weighing seven and a half catties. I'm happy... Hahaha..."

"Don't believe pull it down!"

Wang Fusheng didn't bother to argue, so he turned his face away.

Zhang Laoliu laughed so hard, and after a while, he said, "You mean, Mr. Cao sold the iron-clad ships of the Ningbo Shipyard to foreigners?"

"Do you believe it or not!"

"Do you know that the emperor has already arrived in Ningbo. According to what you said, the iron-clad ships have been sold to foreigners. What is the emperor looking for?"

"You know shit!"

Wang Fusheng looked contemptuous, and said: "The iron-clad warships of the imperial court are so big, even if Mr. Cao dares to sell them, can foreigners drive them away?"

"Didn't you say..."

"I mean, Mr. Cao sold the blueprint of the ironclad ship to foreigners. It's a blueprint, understand?"

"I said you're not done yet, boy? The blueprint of the ironclad ship is a secret of the imperial court. I don't believe it. No matter how rich Master Cao is, can he get the blueprint?"

"What do you know, Mr. Cao's drawings..."

Wang Fusheng stopped suddenly, and then said: "Forget it, forget it, it's useless to tell you!"

"Just blow it up, kid!"

All the boatmen burst into laughter again, but Wang Fusheng just smiled contemptuously, then shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Outside the cabin, Wynn's face became increasingly ugly.
