Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 980: Intricate Roots (3)

"Captain, am I really not dreaming?"

Cao Shi was a little excited, his thoughts still lingering in the past. As he walked, he said, "The commander-in-chief actually asked to see us. He is the commander-in-chief!!"

"Yes."

Xu Zhong at the side followed closely and said: "We have so many military affairs in Denglai Town, and our general is famous for not tolerating any injustice. It is no exaggeration to say that it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to see him."

"But, but today, we not only met him, but also talked with him for a long time. If this matter were to get out, I don't know how many people would be jealous!!"

The general mentioned by the two was Shen Yourong, the general commander of Denglai Town.

This person is very famous in Shandong.

Despite his age, the maritime force, led by the Denglai Navy, has continued to strengthen in recent years since he took over the position again.

When the three fleets were first being planned, a lot of elite troops could be drawn from Shandong. Shen Yourong did not resist this, but instead actively supported it.

However, even so, Shandong's naval strength was gradually restored under the coordination of Shen Yourong, and even took over many naval transfer matters to ensure the steady development of the three major fleets.

Don’t say anything else.

Shen Yourong has made a lot of efforts in the construction of offshore lighthouses in recent years. After all, the construction of such lighthouses is not only beneficial to maritime trade, but also to maritime power!

Compared to the excitement of Cao Shi and Xu Zhong, Chen Wu was much calmer, but his slightly frowned brows reflected his inner feelings at the moment.

"Look at your potential!"

Seeing the two of them grinning, Chen Wu said unhappily, "Are you only concerned with these? Do you still remember the military affairs that the general just talked about?"

"How can I not remember that?"

Cao Shi immediately said: "The general asked us to assist the Yantai Customs Branch from now on to track down the smuggling that was previously discovered at sea."

"Yep."

Xu Zhong stretched out his hand and said, "The general also said that we don't have to return to the base until the case is solved. This smuggling has alarmed the general, it seems that this is a big deal. Captain, the opportunity I've been waiting for has come!"

"what chance?"

Seeing Xu Zhong like this, Chen Wu frowned.

"Of course it's a chance to join the Navy!"

Xu Zhong spoke first, then looked around, and seeing that there was no one around, he whispered: "You know, the coastal towns have the power to recommend. If someone under your command performs well or makes great contributions, they can be exempted from the naval selection assessment and go directly to the three fleets."

"Our general has such a privilege!"

When Xu Zhong said this, a gleam of light flashed across Cao Shi's eyes, but Chen Wu frowned again. As the captain, how could he not know about this?

But for him, if he wants to join the navy, he must do so in an upright manner!

He was unwilling to do such a tricky thing.

"In that case, we should thank Chen Jing, haha!!" While Chen Wu was thinking, Cao Shi couldn't hide his excitement and laughed.

When Cao Shi first met Chen Jing, he disliked him because of his stubborn temper. Although he respected this man in his heart, he could not show it.

"But to be honest, Chen Jing is really amazing." Xu Zhong said with some emotion: "It was thanks to his persistence that we were able to uncover such a major case. Wow, several ships of people smuggled the goods back from North Korea without anyone noticing. The key is that they smuggled them in as Western merchants. There must be something fishy here, a big fishy thing!"

"There's no point in talking any more." Chen Wu frowned and said, "Let's hurry back. According to my understanding, Chen Jing, I'm afraid that the interrogation of those people has already yielded some results."

"Yes."

"Go back quickly."

Compared to what Chen Wu thought, neither Xu Zhong nor Cao Shi wanted to give up such a good opportunity. If they really assisted Chen Jing in finding out something in this case, then they would have the opportunity to serve in the navy!
With the establishment of the Ming Royal Navy, the powers of the navy have been gradually reduced and clarified. This has also made some people hope to join the navy. After all, who doesn't want to make achievements?

But not everyone can join the navy!
……

Compared with Chen Wu and his party, the office of the Denglai general at that time.

The atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat depressing.

"Why don't you Luanwei take over this case directly?" Shen Yourong stared at the young man in front of him with a serious expression, "If this kind of smuggling is discovered, it must have existed for a long time. Ask the people from the General Administration of Customs and my Denglai Navy to rush to the front to investigate this case. Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"

"General Shen, I don't know much about this."

The young man smiled and said, "I came to Denglai on the orders of my superiors. How can I guess what the superiors do?"

Shen Yourong frowned even more tightly.

He was clear about Luanwei.

When such incident happened in Shandong, it seemed that the Anti-Corruption Commission had taken all the limelight, but the officials hiding in the dark, especially the Luanwei, who knew about it, were all frightened.

However, Shen Yourong did not want to interfere too much with the deployment of the Luanwei. What he was concerned about now was how many treacherous villains like this were hiding along the Shandong coast!

It's only been a short time since then, and everything has been peaceful for a short time, yet such a filthy thing happens again.

You have to know that during those turmoil, many people were arrested in various parts of Shandong.

"General Shen, I'm afraid I'll have to bother you more from now on."

Seeing that Shen Yourong remained silent, the young man continued, "We will keep an eye on this case from the dark, and even borrow people from your Denglai Navy when necessary."

"This is impossible!"

Shen Yourong frowned, but then he changed the subject, "Unless you let me know where the people dispatched by the Luanwei this time are involved."

When Shen Yourong thought about the possible dirty things that might happen in the coastal areas of Shandong, or even other places in Shandong, he knew he had to do something.

It’s not easy for Shandong to be where it is today.

He will never allow some treacherous villains to ruin Shandong's bright future! !

"a lot of."

Seeing Shen Yourong like this, the young man hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "This time it not only involves the coastal areas, but also our Luanwei people in other places, and the Luanwei is not the one leading the investigation this time. General Shen, this is all I can say, I hope General Shen will forgive me."

This……

But when Shen Yourong heard this, his heart was in turmoil. He realized that this matter might not be simple, but he did not expect it to be so complicated.

What shocked Shen Yourong the most was that this case was not led by Luanwei. Then who was leading it?
When Shen Yourong thought of this, he knew that Shandong would inevitably stir up a storm. If things went wrong, the storm would even escalate. This was beyond his expectations...
