Chapter 782 News
"I don't understand!" Yu Dayou frowned and said: "It stands to reason that if 43 ships were lost, the brothers on the ship should also be killed. How could they just strip them and send them back? When did the pirates become so polite?"

"Moreover……

Where does Wang Zhi still have the strength to defeat the 45 ships of the Daming Navy?At the beginning, he only escaped 2000 people, so he couldn't figure it out. "

"My lord, I'll go back and find out." Lu Liang said.

"No need!" Yu Dayou shook his head and said, "You won't find out. After you go back, forget about it, and don't show any interest in it when you go."

"Why?" Lu Liang asked puzzled.

"This matter is not simple. Although I don't know the truth of this matter, there is definitely a conspiracy in this matter. I have a feeling that if you have a tendency to be interested, Hu Zongxian will kill you immediately. In fact, I would rather suggest that you leave immediately and run away."

"then you……"

"Me? If I can't figure it out, I'll find someone to figure it out."

"Who is so powerful?"

"Don't ask about this. You can run away immediately. If I don't die, I will help you after Hu Zongxian falls. Or you forget about it and don't let Hu Zongxian think of you."

"I'm going back."

"Then remember, forget what happened today, and don't care about those 43 ships."

"I see."

"Go!"

"General Yu, farewell."

"Take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Lu Liang got on his horse, left Suzhou City, and galloped towards the navy camp.And Yu Dayou returned to his home, took out the horse, got on the horse, and galloped towards Hangzhou.

Hangzhou.

Prefect Yamen.

Luo Xin, He Nian and Wang Ziren were sitting in the second hall, all of them were frowning slightly.All three of them were wondering why the merchants from the feudal kingdom hadn't come yet.

Now that the Japanese pirates have been pacified, those merchants from the vassal state should come!Emperor Jiajing has already come to order again. On the one hand, it is to reward, and on the other hand, it is to urge Luo Xin to make money quickly, and the treasury is empty again.

Emperor Jiajing was not crying for poverty. Although Luo Xin had earned him more than 500 million taels of silver, it was really not enough. In addition to repaying the salaries of officials, it was not enough to rebuild the north and relieve the victims of disasters.Now the city of Beijing is still dilapidated after being attacked by Huang Taiji, and there is still no money to repair it.

He Nian and Wang Ziren really couldn't figure it out. Now that there are no Japanese pirates in the southeast, don't those feudal merchants know?If so, why haven't they come yet?
What Luo Xinxin thought was different from the two of them. He knew that the merchants from the feudal kingdom must have come, and at worst, the first batch of merchants from the feudal kingdom should have arrived.However, it has not arrived yet, so there is only one reason, Hu Zongxian sent troops to pretend to be pirates to rob.

The person who arranged to monitor the navy camp had already notified Luo Xin that 45 ships had been dispatched from the navy camp.There is no doubt that Hu Zongxian did it.

In order to destroy the Shibo Department run by Luo Xin, he has done everything he can, ignoring the laws of the country at all, and his purpose is to get Luo Xin dismissed from office, and then put Luo Xin to death.

Luo Xin raised his hand and rubbed his brows, thinking to himself: "Luo Sheng and the others should have received their letter, have they followed their plan?"

Wan Daquan appeared at the door and gave Luo Xin a look, and Luo Xin got up and walked towards the back hall.Coming to Wan Daquan's side, Wan Daquan said in a low voice:

"Boss Zheng came in through the back door and is waiting for you in your study."

Luo Xin nodded, came to the study, opened the door and walked in.Escort Zheng hurriedly stood up, saluted and said:

"Meet your lord."

"What news?"

"The news from the navy."

"speak!"

"The sailing ship has returned."

"Huh?" Luo Xin's heart skipped a beat, since all the boats that set out had returned, it proved that they had successfully robbed.So, why did Luo Sheng eat it?

"However, you have returned with two boats." Escort Zheng said in a low voice.

Luo Xin almost kicked him out, did he pant so much when he spoke?
"Only two ships came back?"

"Well, there are only two."

"Where are people? How many come back?"

"Almost all of them are back. It's just..." At this point, a strange look appeared on his face: "It's just that they were all stripped naked, and their armor and weapons are gone."

Luo Xin's eyebrows immediately showed joy, and he knew that Luo Sheng had made a move.In this way, with Hu Zongxian's character, he would never dare to send sailors to sea again, at least not in a short period of time.He was thinking at this moment, what mood is Hu Zongxian now?
Suzhou House.

Governor's Palace lobby.

"You mean those pirates who appeared later didn't kill you, but took away your armor and weapons?"

"Yes!"

"Then how do they treat those vassal merchants? But they confiscated the goods, and then released those vassal merchants?"

"No, they robbed the people, ships and goods of the feudal kingdom."

The expression on Hu Zongxian's face relaxed a little, this is the good news among the bad news.Although the losses on his side were huge, losing 43 ships, he always had a way to deal with it.As long as those pirates who appeared later robbed the merchants of the feudal kingdom, it would destroy Luo Xin's management of the Shibo Department.

and……

Since those pirates released all the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty, it proved that they did not dare to do anything. Maybe it was just a demonstration against Hu Zongxian and wanted Hu Zongxian to recruit them.

As the saying goes, murder and fire prevention are recruited.Those pirates might have taken that idea.

Now Xu Hai, Ye Ma, and Xin Wulang are all dead, and Wang Zhi has become a remnant and defeated general. Maybe the pirates are afraid, afraid that the Ming officers and soldiers will wipe them out again.And they may not know that the deaths of Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang, and the defeat of Wang Zhi were all caused by Luo Xin. After all, Hu Zongxian is the king of the southeast. I got it, so I want to demonstrate to Hu Zongxian and show favor to Hu Zongxian.

"Well, that's not bad either! You know it's a blessing in disguise!" Hu Zongxian touched his chin, thinking to himself: "If you can get in touch with the mysterious pirates, then subdue them and let them attack Luo Xin, while your bluff , to suppress pirates. Emperor Jiajing will definitely not dismiss himself.

This is the self-respect of raising bandits! "

Hu Zongxian's mood got better again. He had decided that since the mysterious pirates released his people back, they would definitely contact him, so he just waited.

Hangzhou House.

The second hall of the magistrate's yamen.

Escort Zheng had already left through the back door, and Luo Xin returned to the second hall. Seeing that He Nian and Wang Ziren were still there frowning, he smiled and poured two cups of tea for the two of them:

"Don't frown, there must be a way for the car to reach the top of the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the pier."
