The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 112 Universal Meeting (fourth update)

Dogs will bite dogs.

The Japanese pirates are not the official army of the Japanese country.However, the big real Japanese usually have the secret support of the feudal lords and daimyo.

For example, Tokichi Hachiro has the support of Satsuma.

And Kyushu Fan has always been at odds with Satsuma Fan.

Tokichi Hachiro encountered the fleet of the Kyushu Domain at sea when he returned to the kennel lair of the Satsuma Domain by boat.

After a fierce battle, Dongji Hachiro abandoned the boat and fled.His ship was captured by Kyushu Domain.The Sea God Pearl was also robbed by the Kyushu Fan.

The Lord of Kyushu dedicated the Sea God Pearl to the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

Tokichi Hachiro was furious.He vowed to take back the Sea God Orb.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa obtained the Sea God Pearl, handed it over to the Japanese envoy, and took it to Daming.The Japanese envoy was clever and wanted to trade privately and exchange more goods.

Knowing this, Chang Feng took the Sea God Bead and dedicated it to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi also ordered Changfeng to carry the Sea God Pearl to pay homage to Mazu.

After going around in a circle, the sea god beads picked by Chinese pearl divers were eventually used to pay homage to the Chinese gods.

This is a good result.

However, one person was not happy!This person is Tokichi Hachiro.

I snatched the beads, so they belong to me!I have to get it back!Bandit logic has always been the same.

The imperial envoys like Chang Feng arrived in Hangzhou, and the officials in Hangzhou knew that the imperial court wanted to use the Sea God Pearl to pay homage to Mazu.

It's no secret.Soon it spread throughout the city of Hangzhou.

There are real Japanese craftsmen in Hangzhou city.Tokichi Hachiro also knew about this.

Ever since, Tokichi Hachiro found the Universal Club with great powers.Ask the Four Seas Society to provide the southbound route of the imperial envoy to help him recapture the Sea God Orb.

Originally, the Four Seas Association had a bottom line, and imperial envoys were involved, so they dared not help Dongji Hachiro.

Dongjibalang has been plundering along the coast for more than ten years, and he can be regarded as half a master of Ming Dynasty.Get to know the officials and gentry of Ming Dynasty.

He told the Universal Club: "If you don't help me, I will make a list of those who have helped transport smuggled goods over the years and hand it to the Ming court!"

"When the time comes, it will be separated! How the Ming court will deal with you will not be my business."

There are eight elders who hold power in the Universal Society.The elders had no choice but to provide Dongji Balang with the southbound route of Chang Feng and others.

And let the members of the Four Seas Society in the Zhejiang Navy go with the ship, looking for opportunities to help Dongji Hachiro get back the Sea God Pearl.

On the city wall, Chang Feng's interrogation of Zhao Sanhu ended.

Fatty Xu gasped from the side: "If this matter is made public, the emperor will have to order to clean up this Laoshizi Universal Club."

"This case probably kills more people than Hong Wuchao's Sapphire case!"

Chang Feng said: "That's right. I really didn't expect that the gentry, big and small, and a lot of local officials in the southeast were involved in the smuggling! Civil officials in Beijing were also involved in this matter."

"No wonder those civil servants are always yelling that sealing customs and banning the sea is the ancestral system. It can't be shaken!"

"It turns out that they can gain huge benefits from the closed sea."

Fatty Xu said: "Master Chang, what should we do about this matter? Although I am fat, I am not stupid. If you reveal this matter, all the officials and gentry in the southeast will regard you as your enemy."

Chang Feng didn't answer.Instead, he asked Zhao Sanhu: "You just said that there will be eight elders in the four seas? Who are they?"

Zhao Sanhu said: "Elders have a high status. How could a little quack like me know that?"

"The head of the Hangzhou branch on the floor above me should know."

Chang Feng asked: "Who is the hall master on the floor above you?"

Zhao Sanhu replied: "The head of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is Ma Youlu."

Chang Feng exclaimed: "Fatty, it's so risky. Fortunately, we confiscated the money from Ma Youlu. Otherwise, we would have boarded their pirate ship!"

Fatty Xu said: "No wonder Ma Youlu is so generous. So he wanted to use money to silence us so that we would turn a blind eye to the rampant Japanese pirates in the southeast."

Chang Feng said: "Yes, that's the case. You first detain Zhao Sanhu, so that he can take care of him."

Chang Feng sat by the city wall, carefully considering the stakes of this matter.

Such a big case should be made public.The emperor had to set up a big prison.He may well have been assigned to the case exclusively.

Fatty Xu was right. Once this shocking case is investigated, the number of people killed may not be less than that of the Lan Yu case.

At the beginning, Taizu used Mao Xiang, the first commander of Jinyiwei, to investigate the Lanyu case and killed more than 5000 people.

In the end, the cunning rabbit died and the lackey cooked.

In order to appease the dissatisfaction of the people in the world, Taizu executed Mao Xiang to death.

After the dagger used for killing people is used up, the emperors of all dynasties will throw it away.

The same is true of me.If the case of the Universal Society is thoroughly investigated, he will be killed completely.At that point, I became the target of public criticism.

A bunch of officials, southeast gentry, will regard me as a thorn in the flesh.

Will I still be alive by then?

what to do?Just pretend you don't know about it, and return to Beijing in a calm manner after paying homage to Mazu in five rows and ten?

But this is sorry for the people who were massacred by Japanese pirates along the coast.I'm sorry for those robes who died in Yongningwei today.

Chang Feng was caught in a dilemma.

He's a decent guy at heart.

Getting along with Wynn and Ma Wensheng made him decide to be a loyal minister.

Being timid and afraid of getting into trouble, condoning traitors is not what loyal ministers do.

Chang Feng made a decision.Inform Yang Tinghe, Li Guang and others of this matter.

Let one imperial envoy and five imperial envoys make a decision together.We all bear the consequences.

This is a very picky choice.

into the night.Chang Feng said that there was an important matter, and he discussed it with Yang Ting and them.

They entered a room.Chang Feng ordered You Tianjue to send someone to strictly guard the room and not let anyone in.

Chang Feng said: "Everyone, there is a huge Japanese case in the southeast coast. Fatty Xu, please read Zhao Sanhu's confession to everyone."

Fatty Xu picked up the confession and read it carefully.

After reading, Yang Tinghe didn't say a word.

Li Guang reacted violently.He yelled: "This is a spies' nonsense! The southeast is the southeast of Daming, and the southeast of the emperor."

"I don't believe that more than half of the gentry and officials in the southeast know Japanese!"

"This must be the spies jumping over the wall and biting people in a hurry after being caught."

"How can such unsubstantiated matters be made public?"

"In my opinion, the spy should be executed on the spot! This confession should be burned!"

"We participated in the Battle of Yongning, repelled the pirates and saved the Sea God Orb. This is a great achievement."

"The sacrifice to Mazu is over. Let's go back to Beijing to receive the reward. Why bother to cause more trouble?"

Li Guang took the money offered by Ma Youlu, the head of the chamber of commerce.He was afraid that Ma Youlu would be convicted, and he would be implicated accordingly.Therefore, it is stated that the matter should be calmed down.

Chang Feng said: "Yes. What Eunuch Li means is that we should pretend that we don't know about the Universal Meeting. Where is Mr. Yang? What's your opinion?"

Yang Tinghe spoke.His opinion greatly exceeded Chang Feng's expectations.

Yang Tinghe said: "I have the same meaning as Eunuch Li. It's better to calm things down."

"However. My reason for advocating peace of mind is slightly different from that of Eunuch Li."
