Chapter 666: The Confusing Ship Hijacking Incident

Chapter 666: The Confusing Ship Hijacking Incident
Hu Yi went out quickly and came back quickly.

But after he came back, his expression looked a little off.

"What's wrong, Hu Yi? Did something happen to them?"

Master Hu looked at Hu Yi's expression and asked in confusion.

Why doesn't he believe it?!

With the escort of the Imperial Guards, and coming back from a prosperous place like Suzhou, how could anything go wrong?

Upon hearing this, Hu Yi looked up at Master Hu.

"Master, my aunt and the others are almost home now. Judging from the distance they are traveling, they will arrive tomorrow!"

"The reason they were delayed was because they ran into pirates on the road!"

Mr. Hu blinked and was stunned for a moment before asking.

"What do you say?"

"Water bandits?"

"Coming from Suzhou to Yingtian, can we still encounter pirates?"

When Hu Yi heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly.

"Yes, I was also surprised when I first heard the news!"

"We have been at peace for many years. Logically speaking, all these robbers have turned over a new leaf!"

"But the two concubines and my little boy followed the Jinyiwei and really ran into pirates!"

"If the Jinyiwei hadn't been alert and still had some fighting power, I'm afraid something terrible would have happened!"

When Mr. Hu heard this, his brows almost frowned together.

"wrong!"

"Nine times out of ten it's wrong!"

"If you said there were pirates somewhere else, I would believe you!"

"After all, there is no shortage of people who take risks in any year!"

"But I don't believe there are pirates on this stretch from Suzhou to Yingtian!"

"Damn it, how many official ships are there going back and forth on this waterway every day?"

"What's more, although I wasn't there, the Royal Guards were still there. Didn't they call in an official ship?"

Hu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"If you are not here, who is qualified to call the official ship?"

"Anyway, our family is not short of money, and we didn't expect there would be pirates at the time, so Hu Rong directly hired a civilian ship!"

"This is all because of the rebellious son of this old servant!"

Mr. Hu simply waved his hand.

"Let's not talk about this!"

"No matter how you look at it, this matter cannot be blamed on Hu Rong!"

"It's no problem to hire civilian ships!"

"My lord, it would be troublesome for them to use the official ship when I am not here."

"My Lord, I want to know where these pirates came from. Did the Royal Guards give us any explanation?"

"Since the person has fallen into the hands of the Jinyiwei, it is impossible that he has not taken out something, right?"

When Hu Yi heard this, the expression on his face became more and more strange, and he looked straight at his master.

Master Hu was frightened by this look. He kicked Hu Yi in annoyance and cursed him immediately.

"Don't give me that!"

"Speak directly if you have something to say!"

Hu Yi got kicked but acted as if nothing happened. He patted his head twice nonchalantly and said.

"Master, this is really strange!"

"The Jinyiwei said that according to the results of their interrogation, those people are your enemies!"

"They actually targeted you when you were still in Suzhou, but you left suddenly, so they just went after the concubines!"

When Mr. Hu heard this, he was dumbfounded.

He looked at Hu Yi somewhat bewilderedly.

"Are you sure you heard right?"

"Enemies?"

"Does our family still have any living enemies?" "Haven't we killed them all?"

That's right!

Mr. Hu is so arrogant!

How could a top boss of the Ming Dynasty, who made no secret of his pettiness and vindictiveness, let his enemy live?

After all, having conflicts and making enemies are not the same thing.

It is normal to have conflicts and disputes over interests in officialdom or business.

It could be considered a grudge, but someone was definitely killed.

But if there are such people, how can Mr. Hu let people live?

It must be given as a gift for a family reunion.

Otherwise, if some revenge story pops up in the future, wouldn’t we be dumbfounded?
It was precisely because of Master Hu's style over the years of either not making enemies or killing them if he did, that Master Hu himself began to doubt himself.

I just can't believe that there is an enemy alive who would seek revenge on me!
After hearing what Master Hu said, Hu Yi nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Master, don't say anything about you, I think so too!"

"As a rule, our family doesn't usually make enemies, but if we did, it was in the early years."

"But at that time, we did it cleanly, and our entire family was wiped out!"

"But this is the news given by the Royal Guards this time!"

"That's why I feel puzzled!"

"Because the Imperial Guards didn't say who the enemy was specifically, so I'm confused!"

When Mr. Hu heard this, his brows were completely furrowed.

He thought about it and suddenly slammed the table.

Snapped……

"Damn, that brat Mao Xiang really knows how to play!"

"Are you using that information to fish for us?"

"have to!"

"Master, I'm giving him face. I really want to see where this enemy of mine came from!"

"You can even contact the pirates to rob people on the water. You must be quite capable!"

Master Hu said this as he walked towards the outer room.

Hu Yi hurriedly followed.

He has to accompany her too!

On the one hand, he was naturally curious about this matter, and on the other hand, it was because his son Hu Rong was still on the ship.

As a steward who shares the honor and disgrace of the Hu family, he has done dirty work for Master Hu over the years.

Therefore, he was not afraid at all about what was going to happen next.

Enemy?

Can we use pirates to hijack ships on the waterway?

They seem to be quite powerful, but if their true strength is revealed, they will be doomed.

Hu Yike knew his master's temper too well.

If the master faces such a situation, he will certainly take drastic measures and kill the person. He will not be done until all the ashes are scattered.

The only problem now is the other party's identity.

After arriving at the Jinyiwei Yamen, this was also the first question that Master Hu asked Mao Xiang.

"Old Mao, don't tell me that your Jinyiwei couldn't even find out this little thing!"

"Now that I'm here, you can just say whatever you want to say!"

"Anyway, you must give me the name of this enemy!"

"I want to see how I, Hu Weiyong, could have gotten into trouble with such a powerful enemy who could mobilize pirates!"

Master Hu hooked his arm around Mao Xiang's shoulder and spoke very impolitely.

But Mao Xiang was not angry, instead his face was full of smiles.

"Master Hu, if you say that, it seems like I can't do anything!"

"You went to Suzhou before, but you went there on the emperor's orders, and the Jinyiwei also escorted you on orders."

"On the way back, you were robbed by pirates. This is not just your problem."

"My reputation as a Jinyiwei should be worth at least some money!"
