Smuggling Daming

Chapter 291 Zhang Rui Jumps into the Sea

The port of Ningbo in the early morning is already very lively. Many ships were ready yesterday. As soon as the sun rose today, they immediately lifted anchor and left the port. After all, they have to rush to the next port and try to avoid sailing at night. .

Among the ships leaving the port, there was a ship with a very ordinary appearance, but when the surrounding merchant ships saw this ship, they gave way to each other one after another, because the ship had the flag of the Shi Ship Department, that is to say , this is an official ship of the Municipal Shipping Department to collect taxes, and these merchants cannot afford to offend them.

However, those businessmen who gave way did not know that there was no Shizhusi on board the official ship of the Shizhusi. Except for the boatman, they were all Jinyiwei and eunuchs, and in the cabin, a young eunuch sat There, his face was full of resentment, this person was Zhang Rui who Zhou Zhong asked Wang Gui for help and came here from the capital.

Ever since he lost power, Zhang Rui has been tortured in the palace. That night a young eunuch specially asked him to go out, and told him a happy event, that is, to send him out of the palace to handle errands.

When he first heard the above news, Zhang Rui was also overjoyed, thinking that his hard life was finally over, but soon he felt something was wrong, after all, he offended Zhou Zhong, who was the number one celebrity before His Majesty, even Even Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong want to curry favor with each other, so as long as the other party doesn't speak up, who dares to use themselves again?

Thinking of this, Zhang Rui immediately felt chills all over his body, and he also thought that the matter of sending him out of the palace this time was not clear, that is, he didn't say where he was asked to work, and he didn't say who promoted him. .And what's even more weird is that he has also read the appointment that transferred him out of the palace just now, and everything is fine, that is to say, this appointment full of problems was done through formal procedures.

Who on earth has so much energy?In fact, Zhang Rui doesn't need to guess at all to know this question. Except for Zhou Zhong who even tried to curry favor with Gu Dayong, I am afraid that there is only His Majesty the Emperor in the Leopard Room, but His Majesty will not pay attention to this little guy like himself, so The only possibility is that Zhou Zhong is playing tricks behind his back.

It was precisely after guessing this that Zhang Rui suddenly became a little panicked.But he has no choice, because the transfer order is true, and it is impossible for him to disobey, and there are several other young eunuchs who went with him this time. .There is even a small team of Jinyiwei accompanying him. It can be said that the guards are very strict. He usually has to be followed even when he goes to the toilet.

"Zhou Zhong, you left me with nothing at the beginning, and I was bullied all the time in the palace, but even so. You still don't intend to let me go, do you really want to kill me?" Zhang Rui sitting in the cabin Suddenly stood up.Hate in an angry and resentful tone.

Walking all the way from the capital, he hardly had any personal freedom, but he also endured all this, but the most uncomfortable thing for Zhang Rui is that he still doesn't know why Zhou Zhong spends so much effort to get it. Ningbo mansion?It is precisely this kind of unknown about the future that made Zhang Rui suffer even more. During this time, he couldn't sleep or eat.The whole person also looks much older, and even the white hair on the head is coming out.

"Zhang Rui. Your breakfast!" While Zhang Rui was walking back and forth in the cabin like a trapped animal, suddenly the door of the cabin opened, and a fat eunuch walked in with a food box. The food box in his hand was placed on the table, and he turned to leave.

"Elder Niu, please stop, I have something to say!" Seeing that the fat eunuch who delivered meals was about to leave, Zhang Rui immediately called to stop him and said that this fat eunuch, surnamed Niu, was usually in charge of delivering meals for himself. He is a eunuch he is familiar with.

"What's the matter?" Eunuch Niu stopped and asked when he heard this, but the expression on his face was very cold, and it seemed that he didn't want to talk too much with Zhang Rui.

"Elder Niu, I want to know where we are going and which father-in-law are we working under?" Zhang Rui said flatteringly. Now he really wants to know where these people are taking him. What are you going to do with yourself?Although this man surnamed Niu is just a food delivery man, he should know something.

After hearing this, Eunuch Niu looked up at Zhang Rui. Although he knew that Zhang Rui had lost power because he offended a nobleman, and this time they were also going to escort Zhang Rui to meet the nobleman, but they got along along the way. After coming down, Zhang Rui treated him with great respect, and he didn't have the airs of the former governor of the East Factory, so in view of this kind of incense, Eunuch Niu couldn't just shake his sleeves and leave.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Niu sighed and said, "We have just left Ningbo Mansion, and we will go to Shuangyu Port next. It is said that there used to be a port opened by some smugglers without permission, but now it has been reintroduced by Admiral Zhou, the Admiral of the Four Seas. It is within the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and the supervising army next to the admiral is Wang Guiwang Gonggong!"

After Eunuch Niu said these words, regardless of Zhang Rui's reaction, he immediately raised his leg and went out, and closed the cabin door. Although he shouldn't have said these things to Zhang Rui, they are about to arrive at the double deck soon. Yu Hong, Zhang Rui will definitely know by then, so it doesn't matter if he said it earlier.

"Shuangyu Port?" Zhang Rui was taken aback when he heard the name, and then suddenly remembered that Zhou Zhong was a smuggler, and his smuggling lair seemed to be Shuangyu Port. I was brought here unexpectedly.

"Shuangyu Port is Zhou Zhong's lair. Since he is here, the Bai sisters must be here too. Besides... Qingqing, my daughter..." When Zhang Rui said this, he suddenly remained silent. After entering the palace, he had no relatives in this world for a long time, but when he heard that his original wife Bai Junwan had given birth to a daughter for him, Zhang Rui couldn't help feeling a little turbulent. No matter how heartless he is, he still loves his daughter very much, but it's a pity that Bai Junwan doesn't let Qingqing recognize him as a father at all.

Thinking of Bai Junwan and her daughter Qingqing, Zhang Rui only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he suddenly understood something.If Zhou Zhong wants to kill him, I am afraid that only one sentence is needed, and he will die in the palace for no reason. There is no need to spend so much effort to bring him to Shuangyu Port, so the only explanation is that Zhou Zhong Chong didn't want to kill him, and it was even possible that Bai Junwan entrusted him to bring him to Shuangyu Port, because Bai Junwan must have many questions to ask herself.

"It must be like this. So it was Junwan who wanted to see me, I...I..." After guessing the truth of the matter, Zhang Rui's face suddenly became panicked, even a little scared, because he really didn't want to see Bai Junwan Mother and daughter, especially in his current state of having nothing.

Perhaps in the eyes of onlookers like Zhou Zhong, and even the victim, Sister Bai, Zhang Rui is a beast that is not as good as a beast. He just abandoned his wife and became a eunuch. Sending Bai Junwan to the palace to win the favor of Emperor Zhengde is not only disgusting, it is even worse than a beast.

But only Zhang Rui knows that he actually loves his wife very much, and loves his daughter even more, but his love is different from others. Maybe Bai Junwan and others can't accept it, but Zhang Rui firmly believes that he did it for them good.

But it is a pity that Zhang Rui's plan was very good, and he also realized his "love" for Bai Junwan step by step, but later Bai Junwan ran away with his sister and daughter, which disrupted Zhang Rui. Zhang Rui's plan, coupled with Zhou Zhong's intervention later, knocked down the power he had acquired so hard. The absence of the past glory also wiped out the confidence that Zhang Rui had accumulated so hard, so he didn't want to At this time, I saw Bai Junwan's mother and daughter.

"No, I don't want to see them, I want to get out of here!" Seeing Zhang Rui walking back and forth in the cabin a few times like a trapped animal, he suddenly stopped and said to himself in a panic.

After speaking, Zhang Rui looked at the door of the cabin. He knew there were two Jinyi guards guarding there, and he could not escape from there no matter what. Fortunately, there was a small window in the cabin, and Zhang Rui immediately went to the window. He stretched out his hand to pull it, but failed to pull it open. After a closer look, he found that the window had been nailed to death. It seemed that these people had long prevented him from escaping.

Seeing that even the only window from which he could escape was crucified, Zhang Rui was not discouraged. He rummaged through the cabin, hoping to find some tool to open the window, but those guarding him thought very much. Careful, did not leave him any tools at all.

Looking at the empty cabin, Zhang Rui was even more flustered when he thought that he could reach Shuangyu Port in two or three hours at most. He ran to the window quickly and checked carefully, only to find that the nails on the window were not There were many nails, and the nails were not very strict, which made Zhang Rui's heart sway, and he simply opened his mouth to bite the nails on the window, but unexpectedly, he actually bit off one of the nails, and the whole window also moved a little.

With a nail in his hand, Zhang Rui finally saw a glimmer of hope. Now he used the nail as a tool to pry up the nails on the window one by one. Finally, it took nearly an hour to finally remove all the nails on the window. , the window could finally be opened, but when he opened the window, what he saw was a sea.

Zhang Rui is from the south, and his family is relatively poor, so he often went fishing in the river when he was a child, and he knew some water skills, but it was only in a small river ditch. will also be drowned.

"Zhou Zhong, even if I die, I won't let you go!" Looking at the vast sea in front of him, Zhang Rui growled ferociously, and jumped into the sea through the window without hesitation.
