Chapter 124

Gu Qinghua laughed, she remembered when Wang Hairong asked for the imperial decree and married herself when she was on the mountain in Yuli Village.Marriage is of course impossible, not only for her, but also for a court lady—what kind of rumors will it spread!

However, she had planned to give the imperial decree.

"Isn't it just an imperial decree to forgive sins?" Gu Qinghua said: "I can give it, I can tell the world to forgive all your past crimes, but I have conditions."

Both Wang Hairong and Lao Bao were overjoyed.Before Wang Hairong could open his mouth, Lao Bao hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty has any conditions, but it's okay to say, the criminals will definitely do it!" After all, only the imperial decree of forgiveness of sins and the imperial edict proclaiming to the world are the most convincing and protective. As long as Gu Qinghua can fulfill his promise, they can completely get rid of their worries!

Gu Qinghua turned his head and stared straight at the map of the southern border sea area hanging on the wall beside him. He turned around and said to them, "The southern border sea area is vast, so there can't be only one pirate on Chong'an Island, right?"

Wang Hairong was stunned, nodded and said: "That's right, our Chong'an Island is the largest group, with seven or eight islands of different sizes including Baicao Island in the east of Chong'an Island, Yishan Island and Xiaochun Island in the southeast, and Pingluo Island in Nanyang. There are five or six islands inhabited by pirates, some of which are climate-worthy and some are not. In total, only Yishan Island, Weining Reef, and Pingluo Island have some weight. Among them, Weining Reef is the most vicious. Dou, their leader is Sha Kuang, known as Hai Yan Wang, he is a difficult master, they are different from other places, they are really bloodthirsty pirates."

Gu Qinghua nodded and said: "That's right! What you said is similar to what I understand." She looked at Wang Hairong firmly, and said word by word: "I want you to wipe out all the pirates in the southern sea area, and you can do it." ?"

It turned out that this was the quid pro quo!Wang Hairong nodded secretly.

"I will provide you with weapons, food, medicine, all kinds of wood for building large ships, and even craftsmen. These people can be recruited if they can be recruited, and those who are mad can be killed, can they do it?" Gu Qinghua asked again.

Wang Hairong only thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "Criminals can do it, but this matter still needs to be discussed with several leaders." Without eliminating pirates, it is impossible to carry out normal overseas trade. Naturally, Wang Hairong understands this. He also understood that Gu Qinghua's request of them was not just a matter of asking them to show their loyalty, but that he didn't believe that the court navy could do so except that they could bear this responsibility.Otherwise, kill them early!

"This is a big matter, and it won't be done in a short while. Haste makes waste, and I won't force you." Gu Qinghua smiled, and said with a slightly relaxed and high-spirited tone: "Okay , I already have a bottom line in my heart, let Taifu Shen arrange the specific matters with you. You have to be prepared, the meeting with the local officials tomorrow will inevitably have a verbal battle!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Wang Hairong said proudly, "The criminals have finally come to this point, and there is absolutely no reason to give up easily. The big deal is that when the time comes, just make up for it and make amends!"

Gu Qinghua's blood couldn't help but also boiled, she gave a thumbs up and praised: "Wang Da is indeed a man, I read it right! I have to protect myself even if I compromise, in the future, I will use you again!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Wang Hairong's face turned red immediately, but his heart was full of pride, churning like the sea. He never thought that his life would have such a situation and turning point—this is not a dream, it's real happening right in front of your eyes.

Gu Qinghua nodded, waved his sleeves, raised his head and said to Su Jun: "Ask someone to take them to Mr. Wang's side! Master Wang, tonight you and Mrs. Shen have a good discussion about tomorrow's affairs, and," she said a little After pondering for a while, he said: "Don't mention the matter of my obedience a few days ago to others. You have to act as if you have never met with me before this, let alone reached any agreement. Everything, just listen to Taifu Shen!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Criminals obey the order!" Wang Hairong agreed with his hands clasped.

"You two, come with me!" Su Jun smiled and led them out of the small study.

Before Su Jun had time to call the little eunuch to lead the way, the old Bao glanced around and saw that there was no one around, so he couldn't help approaching Su Jun, and said with a smile: "Young Master Su, I don't think you look like a father-in-law, how could you be by His Majesty's side?" How about serving? Your Majesty seems to trust you very much!"

Su Jun snorted, his face was dark and gloomy, and the title of concubine emperor was not pleasant to hear, so he simply pretended not to hear him, so he was too lazy to answer him, called a little eunuch, ordered to lead the way, then clasped fists to the two of them and said calmly : "The two of you go over first, I still have something to do, so I will see you off soon!"

Wang Hairong didn't have time to stop Lao Bao from asking such gossip questions. Seeing Su Jun's unnatural expression flashing by, he felt a little sorry, but Su Jun pretended not to hear and ignored Lao Bao. He wanted to apologize but felt it was too obvious, so He smiled very friendlyly and said politely: "Mr. Su, what did you say! This journey has caused Mr. Su trouble, thank you Mr. Su!"

Su Jun said "no problem", made a gesture of invitation, and watched them go with the little eunuch.Su Jun looked up to the sky and let out a breath of foul air. Thinking of what Lao Bao said just now, he was so angry that his fists were about to be crushed!Father-in-law?How unreasonable!What look!
Su Jun turned back to the small study room. Gu Qinghua was writing furiously. It should be related to the matter of recruiting pirates. He stood for a while and walked towards Gu Qinghua. He said sullenly, "Qing'er is not yet Tired?"

"I'm not tired, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully these days," Gu Qinghua sighed softly, and said, "I don't know how this game will end!"

"No matter how it ends, His Majesty will not change his mind anyway. If that's the case, why bother to think so much?" Su Jun smiled and put his hand on her shoulder lightly.

Gu Qinghua was stunned for a moment, raised his head and laughed, and nodded solemnly to him: "That's right! So, Su Jun, help me think about it, if those stubborn old people refuse to cooperate, how should I deal with them?"

Su Jun smiled and said: "Well, the soldiers come to cover the water and cover it with soil, and it's not too late to see what they do before making a decision!"

Gu Qinghua smiled, ignored him, bowed his head and continued with the unfinished business.

Gu Qinghua decreed that all the officials above the fifth grade in Southeast County will gather in the yamen for a meeting the next day. Everyone was at a loss, each in a state of anxiety. When they met, they chatted and asked each other, hoping to get some gossip from each other. But it all ended in disappointment.Only Zhang Zhifu felt a little uneasy when he thought of the two pirates who were inexplicably taken away by His Majesty the day before, but how dare he talk about such things?Adhering to the principle that more things are worse than less things, listening to everyone arguing, distracted from time to time.

Then, Shen Liulian came with Wang Hairong and Laobao in new clothes, followed by two eunuchs in brand-new sapphire blue costumes and four Habayashi sergeants with their swords in their arms. He stepped forward to greet Shen Liulian with a smiling face, but from the corner of his eyes, he glanced curiously at Wang Hairong and Lao Bao, secretly wondering about their identities.Could it be the official who just came from Zhai Fengcheng?Well, one looks a bit like the other, and the other doesn't look like much; what's more, even if Zhai Fengcheng came, what happened in the capital can't be related to their southeast county officials, which is strange. None of the officials from Duzhong came, but a group of them were brought here instead!
After everyone sat quietly, Shen Liulian cleared his throat and introduced the identities of Wang Hairong and Lao Bao. As soon as he finished speaking, before he had time to tell the whole story, the scene exploded like a thunderstorm!Especially those military generals who suffered from the pirates and lost face, lost their subordinates and were reprimanded by their superiors, so they have endured for many years without making it to the top. Shouting and cursing loudly, his eyes were like knives like swords, wishing to cut Wang Hairong and Lao Bao into pieces.Shen Liulian repeatedly emphasized that the two of them came to surrender, but no one listened to it, let alone believed it!

Lao Bao was furious immediately, and stared back viciously, holding the hand hanging beside him so that the veins on the back of the hand were protruding, and the joints creaked.

These court officials are even more rude and unreasonable than their pirates!
Wang Hairong silently stopped Lao Bao, who was about to lose control of his emotions, and lowered his eyelids, allowing them to insult and shout as if he didn't hear them, desperately thinking about what Gu Qinghua said to him, wanting to give Shen Liulian a sentence in advance, Thinking about the lives of thousands of brothers, looking forward to the future of the people in southern Xinjiang... I used it to dilute the obscene words that were forced into my ears one after another.

"Teacher Shen, how can these wolf-hearted things have such a high level of awareness, don't let your majesty be deceived by them! It won't be too late to make a conclusion after the officials take them down and torture them!" Suddenly, a face-faced purple hall The long-faced middle-aged general shouted loudly.

His words immediately received support from countless people around him.

The military commander got so proud that he stood up on the spot and was about to rush forward to grab someone.

"Presumptuous!" A Habayashi soldier standing behind Shen Liulian yelled coldly, his voice was cold and majestic, and he suddenly calmed down the crowd. The hall that was as noisy as a vegetable market was suddenly silent and empty. Like an uninhabited place.

Sergeant Yubayashi stared at the yelling general with scorching eyes, and said coldly: "Teacher Shen is here, how can you let me yell and be rude?"

The general choked immediately, and didn't dare to argue with him, so he snorted angrily, bowed to Shen Liulian and said, "I'm rude in my humble position, please forgive me!" Shen Liulian is the emperor's master, he I was in a hurry just now, and if I lingered for a while, it would be a big or small thing if I read his book.

Shen Liulian waved his hand, and said calmly: "Wu Can general is upright, how can I not know this old man?"

The atmosphere was heavy and a little lively, but it was no longer as noisy as before. The eyes looking at Wang Hairong and Lao Bao were still full of suspicion and hostility. Everyone's public and loud opposition just now turned into a silent line of resistance in whispers. .

Shen Liulian expected that the officials would object, but he did not expect the situation to be so out of control.He has always seen all the officials, although he also knows the temperament and demeanor of most of them behind the scenes, but in front of him, they are all polite and gentle. This kind of shrew-like swearing, he is the first See you once.Shen Liulian is simply—amazing!He couldn't help but think why Su Jun insisted on asking him to bring some Habayashi soldiers over, and kept calling it a fluke in his heart!
