A few days later, the Huang family officially returned to the port of Malacca. This incident caused a sensation in the entire city of Malacca. After all, everyone knew that the Huang family represented Alec's forces. Now the Huang family returned to Malacca with such a high profile. Hong Kong, does that also mean that Daming decided to support Alec's side?

However, people in Malacca City soon discovered that only members of the Huang family came back this time. Not only did Alec not come back, but even the rebels controlled by the Huang family stayed in the opposite Jinzhou. Only the Huang family came back, and the Huang family did not intend to take over the city of Malacca. This made many people feel relieved. It seems that the Huang family was only allowed to come back as an ordinary Han family.

As the largest Han family in the port of Malacca, the Huang family, coupled with what happened two years ago, made many people attach great importance to the return of the Huang family, especially when they saw that the admiral actually took the Huang family's When the old house was returned to the Huang family, many people guessed that the Huang family's return this time might have something to do with the young admiral. This made many people go to the Huang family to congratulate and express their goodwill to them After all, a family that can establish a relationship with the admiral must have a bright future in the future.

After the Huang family renovated the old house, the whole family moved back immediately, and on the day of the official move-in, the Huang family used this as an excuse to have a big banquet for the guests, firstly to celebrate the housewarming, and secondly, to celebrate the people who visited the Huang family a few days ago Thank you.

Zhou Zhong also received the invitation from Huang's family. He was currently arranging the military and government affairs of Malacca Port, because he was going back next month.So the affairs of Malacca will be handed over to his subordinates to manage, but before he leaves, he will naturally make arrangements for this matter.

It was also because Zhou Zhong was busy with affairs in his hands, so Zhou Zhong originally planned to ignore Zhou Hai and the Huang family's affairs, but seeing that the Huang family was so obedient and moved back so quickly, this made him The Huang family was also relieved, and after he left in the future, the management of the port also needed the support of the local Han family.As the largest family in the area, the Huang family's status is also very important, so after thinking about it, Zhou Zhong decided to come to the Huang family's banquet, and get in touch with local Han families like Lu Lao and the others.

Huang Jiading's life is very good, and the sky of Malacca is full of white clouds this day.Blocking the scorching sun, coupled with the breeze blowing by the sea, made the weather not as hot as before, and even had a cool feeling.

When Zhou Zhong brought people to the old house of Huang's family, he saw that there were already people living in this newly renovated mansion.But they have controlled Jinzhou's gold mine business for the past two years, so they are not short of money.The scale of the banquet set up this time is also very large. Not only did Lu Lao, Zhao Pu and other Han families feast, but also some wealthy businessmen who survived in Malacca, but there were no Tamils ​​like Baman. The Huang family and the Tamils ​​had already fallen out, so it was naturally impossible to entertain each other.

When Zhou Zhong entered the gate of Huang's house, the rest of the people were almost there.Seeing Zhou Zhong coming in, these people immediately stood up and saluted him.At the same time, Huang Qionghai also greeted him personally.At this time, Zhou Zhong also greeted everyone with a smile, and finally came to the hall accompanied by Huang Qionghai.

Compared with the messy banquets outside the hall, the hall seemed much quieter. There were only a dozen tables of banquets, and the seats were all important figures, such as Mr. Lu and his Han family, as well as some well-known wealthy businessmen in the city. Even civil and military officials such as Tang Bohu and Shenying were also included in the banquet. When these people saw Zhou Zhong, they also stood up and saluted. bit.

Seeing Zhou Zhong sitting down, the other people in the hall felt relieved to sit down. There were not many people sitting at Zhou Zhong's main table, except for him and Huang Qionghai as the master, only Tang Bohu, Shenying, Chang Xiao, Qu Lie, and the representatives of the two local Han families, Mr. Lu and Zhao Pu, can be said to be Zhou Zhong's acquaintances. From this, it can be seen that Huang Qionghai also spent a lot of thought on arranging the banquet After all, if there are strangers present, it may affect the atmosphere at the wine table, so the Huang family tries to arrange acquaintances at the same table as much as possible.

It is also worth mentioning that Zhou Hai did not show up at the banquet. This is because Zhou Hai's existence has always been a secret of the Huang family. With someone like Zhou Hai, as for the relationship between Zhou Hai and Zhou Zhong, only Huang Qionghai knew about it, so Zhou Hai usually would not appear in front of the public.

After Zhou Zhong arrived, the banquet officially started. Zhou Zhong's table was full of acquaintances, and the only person he didn't know very well was Huang Qionghai. In this way, he quickly got along with Tang Bohu and Shenying, and even Zhou Zhong had a good impression of Huang Qionghai.

The banquet held by the Huang family lasted from noon to dusk. The invited guests were drunk one by one, and many of them were carried away. They all paid attention to their proportions, and no one got drunk, but Tang Bohu, Shenying and other good drinkers blushed slightly after drinking, but they could barely stay sober.

Zhou Zhong looked at the sky and it was not too early, and if Tang Bohu and the others drank any more, they might really get drunk. As an official of the court, it would be out of manner to get drunk on such an occasion, so Zhou Zhong stood up Prepare to leave, and let someone escort Tang Bohu and the others back.

But when Zhou Zhong bid farewell to Huang Qionghai, the other party suddenly said in a low voice: "Master Admiral, my brother has something important to see you, he said that this matter is extremely important, and even concerns the life of Lord Admiral!"

Zhou Zhong was taken aback when he heard Huang Qionghai's words, then he stared at him aggressively and said, "Oh? This admiral really wants to know, what matters in your Huang family could affect my life?"

"My lord, I need my brother to tell you this matter. Now my brother is in the backyard, you will know as soon as you see him!" Huang Qionghai saluted very respectfully, and at the same time made a gesture of "please".

Seeing Huang Qionghai's refusal to say anything, Zhou Zhong was not afraid of any tricks played by the Huang family. After all, Malacca City was his territory, and everyone in the Huang family was under his control. If any danger happened to him in the Huang family, the entire Huang family would They were all doomed, so Zhou Zhong stopped talking nonsense and followed Huang Qionghai to the backyard of the Huang family.

The Huang family's house occupies a huge area, and it can even be said to be a small village. The middle courtyard is where the Huang family's direct descendants live.Zhou Zhong followed Huang Qionghai to a very quiet courtyard. Huang Qionghai didn't go in after opening the courtyard door, but stood guard outside the door. Zhou Zhong also let Wu Shan and his accompanying guards stay outside, and entered the courtyard by himself. inside.

The size of this courtyard is not small, and the architecture is a bit peculiar, there are no wing rooms on the left and right, only a very tall building in the middle.In addition, the yard is very empty. After two years without people living in it, the yard must be full of weeds and trees. Now the people of the Huang family have cleared out all the plants in the yard, and the new plants have not come to plant in time, so the whole yard Nature is visibly empty.

After Zhou Zhong entered the courtyard, he immediately saw Zhou Hai sitting in a gazebo in the middle of the courtyard. He immediately walked over, then sat down very casually and said, "What do you want from me today?"

Zhou Hai in the gazebo was making tea. After seeing Zhou Zhong sitting down, he poured him a cup of tea and said, "After the conversation last time, we have gotten to know each other better. For example, now I know that although you It's not my son, but your body is my son's, that is to say, my blood is still flowing on your body, I shouldn't be wrong to say that, right?"

"That's right, in a sense, I'm still your son, Zhuan'er and Duo'er's elder brother." Zhou Zhong picked up his teacup and took a sip without hesitation. Benefits are bigger than the sky, so he is not worried that Zhou Hai will do anything unfavorable to him.

"Hahaha~, that's right!" After receiving Zhou Zhong's affirmative answer, Zhou Hai immediately laughed and said, "Since you are still the blood of our Huang family, your current situation is very different. It's wonderful, it can even be said to be very dangerous, if you don't think about it, I'm afraid you won't even know how you died in the end."

"Well, what do you mean?" Zhou Zhong raised his head and looked at Zhou Hai very vigilantly. At the same time, he was also very puzzled, wondering what Zhou Hai's words meant?

"Hey, if you want to know what's going on, then follow me into the ancestral hall, and you'll understand then!" Zhou Hai said as he drank the tea in his hand, then stood up and walked towards the courtyard. Walk in the tall building.When Zhou Zhong came in just now, he felt that the construction of this courtyard was a bit strange. He didn't expect that it was the ancestral hall of the Huang family. No wonder it was built so tall.

Unable to understand what kind of trick Zhou Hai was going to play, Zhou Zhong sat there thinking for a while, and finally stood up all of a sudden, and followed him into the ancestral hall.Only two small windows were opened in the entire ancestral hall, making the light inside very dark. When Zhou Zhong came in from the outside, his eyes were a little uncomfortable. After squinting his eyes and waiting for a while, he felt much better.

After his eyes got used to it, Zhou Zhong finally saw the layout of the Huang's ancestral hall. He saw that there was nothing special about the whole ancestral hall. There were many futons in the open space in front, and a huge altar in the middle, with There were quite a few tablets, but when Zhou Zhong saw the names on the tablets clearly, his face changed drastically, and an inconceivable look flashed in his eyes.
