Chapter 367: Human hearts are made of flesh, they cannot withstand such stabbing

I really am not unprofessional, main text, Chapter 378: Human hearts are made of flesh, they cannot withstand such stabbing. Yin Yin Zhengmao pondered for a long time and finally became convinced that there was no problem with his background. His father was really his father; it was just that His Majesty attached great importance to the strategy of opening the seas, and coupled with the fact that he, Yin Yin Zhengmao, was doing a really good job, he was able to receive such thick holy favor from His Majesty.

Yin Yin Zhengmao was very sure because the dates didn't match. He was born in the Southern Southern Yamen in the eighth year of During Zhengde, while the day Emperor Wu Xun of Ming toured the south to suppress the rebellion was when he arrived at Yingtian Prefecture in the fourteenth year of During Zhengde. Since the dates didn't match, there was no need to be overly suspicious.

Emperor Wu Xun was an absurd person who had the legacy of Wei Wu (Cao Cao). There are two records in the "Veritable Records of Ming."

The first is Liu Liangnu, the wife of Yang Teng, a musician in the Jin Prince Mansion in Taiyuan. Because she was excellent in both appearance and talent, she was valued by Emperor Wu Xun when he toured Shanxi, and was then taken away directly. Yang Teng later even went to the capital, beat the drum for reporting grievances, and sued Emperor Wu Xun for the hatred of stealing his wife. It wasn't until Emperor Wu Xun paid one hundred taels of silver that it was considered settled. Emperor Wu Xun gave Liu Liangnu a status and enfeoffed her as an Imperial Consort.

The second is Wang Wang Mantang, the wife of Duan Chang, a mountain bandit in Bazhou. After this Duan Chang was suppressed by the court for doing evil in Bazhou, Wang Wang Mantang was offered into the palace as a captive and became a laundry maid. This Wang Wang Mantang was a very scheming woman. When she was delivering clothes to Emperor Wu Xun one time, she accidentally hooked up with Emperor Wu Xun. Wang Wang Mantang was also one of the imperial concubines very favored by Emperor Wu Xun before he died.

These two women were clearly recorded in the "Veritable Records of Ming" as wives of others who later entered the harem. The reason they appeared in the "Veritable Records of Ming" and were recorded in such detail was that the last people Emperor Wu Xun of Ming favored in the sixteenth year of During Zhengde were these two. Grand Secretary Yang Yang Tinghe had been hoping that these two women's bellies would be a bit competitive, as a young master and a suspicious state were far better than a side branch entering the Great Sect.

Alas, in the end, they didn't wait for any good news, and finally, the Emperor Jiajing Emperor arrived in the capital and sat on the dragon throne.

This was also one of the reasons why, when Wan Wan Shihe and Hai Rui were running to the Imperial Palace to blame Chen Shan and bitterly denounce the harm of the situation when His Majesty allowed the Third Lady to have an audience as usual, they did so because this could be considered an ancestral established law; Emperor Wu Xun of Ming had truly done it back in the day.

For so many years, the "Musician Consort" and the "Laundry Empress" had become jokes known on every street and alley.

The Great Ming's system design was like this: once the Emperor was young and strong, and grew up a bit, no one could stop him from doing whatever he wanted. When Emperor Wu Xun and the Little Prince were physically tearing each other's hearts out in Yingzhou, the ministers weren't that they didn't try to stop him, and even the historical lessons of Emperor Yingzong being captured in the north were shouted out, but didn't Emperor Wu Xun still fight a battle with the Little Prince? Since then, the Little Prince no longer came south to plunder.

If His Majesty really had intentions, someone would immediately wash San San Niangzi clean and lift her onto the dragon bed. San San Niangzi would probably wake up laughing even if she were rolled up in a quilt. An old ox gnawing on a piece of tender grass—as for age, age is not a problem. The Wan Imperial Consort, who was exclusively favored by the Xianzong Emperor, was seventeen years older than the Xianzong Emperor.

The Great Ming might not dare to say anything else, but it really doesn't lack ancestral laws.

It's just that the falling flowers have intentions, but the flowing water is heartless; the Emperor never lacked beauties by his side.

The Great Ming's harem management is extremely strict. There are confirmed records of who the Emperor favored and when. Even if they were not from good families, they would be recorded in the files, so the probability of having illegitimate children left among the people is zero.

This kind of outrageous self-suspicion by Yin Yin Zhengmao was the second time. The first time was when he entered the capital to report on his duties and received special treatment from His Majesty.

The appearance of these five five-masted ocean-crossing ships made Yin Yin Zhengmao's breathing quicken a bit.

"Minister, is it really not?" Zhang Zhang Yuanxun pointed to the things unloaded from the five-masted ocean-crossing ships and asked blankly.

"It shouldn't be... right." Yin Yin Zhengmao looked at the four Type C five-masted ocean-crossing ships and looked at the boxes upon boxes of goods, and became a bit uncertain again.

Yin Yin Zhengmao led the civil and military officials of the Governor's Office to the pier to wait for the envoys. When he saw the fifty-four nine-jin naval cannons on the ship and saw the boxes upon boxes of saltpeter being carried down from the ship.

Yin Yin Zhengmao couldn't figure it out; he really couldn't figure it out.

In this era, the only ones capable of large-scale mass production of high-quality gunpowder were the Great Ming and Philip II of the Sun Never Sets Empire, and saltpeter was the root cause of this monopoly. The saltpeter-boiling cave in the Great Ming's Laojun Mountain was one of the Great Ming's secrets. Even Yin Yin Zhengmao only knew this secret after he became the Viceroy of Liangguang and the Minister of War.

The Great Ming Emperor brought saltpeter over, which made Yin Yin Zhengmao confused. Was there really no problem with his background?!

These saltpeters could at least supply Lu Song's gunpowder needs for three years. If used sparingly, they could be used for at least five years.

Li Li Yougong, the eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial, stepped off the ship steadily and stood on the pier, stomping his feet. The last time he came, he took the hydrofoil sailboat of the Coastal Defense Inspection, which was fast, but anyone who had sat on it knew that thing would really shake one's internal organs out.

"Greetings, Envoy." Yin Yin Zhengmao hurriedly saluted; he was saluting the imperial decree.

Li Li Yougong handed the imperial decree he was holding to the two small eunuchs. Just as he was about to open it to proclaim the decree, Li Li Yougong suddenly reached out and stopped the small eunuchs, signaling Yin Yin Zhengmao to step aside for a word.

Li Li Yougong said in a low voice: "Lord Guo, I won't play word games with you, nor will I sow discord. If there is anything to say, I will say it to your face. General Qi and the Grand Secretary do not quite approve of deploying extra five-masted ocean-crossing ships to Lu Song. There should have been two, but it was His Majesty's decision to send two more, fearing that his own people out and about would suffer losses."

"The Grand Secretary said that human hearts cannot withstand testing. If one controls too much, few people can hold on. The Grand Secretary's words are reasonable."

"His Majesty's holy grace—Lord Guo has been in office since the twenty-sixth year of Emperor Jiajing, so naturally you know the weight of it. I am a castrated eunuch, a small person. I don't understand many grand principles; I am just a loyal dog by His Majesty's side. I only hope that Lord Guo can think a little about His Majesty's difficulties."

"I have followed His Majesty since I was young. I have accompanied him through all the hardships His Majesty has suffered, so I know His Majesty somewhat."

"The Great Ming's national situation is as precarious as a pile of eggs. His Majesty has to make himself invulnerable and cold-blooded, but in the end, he still hopes for some beauty. The Grand Secretary said: 'The most skillful means of ministers is to constantly accumulate disappointment until despair, and then ministers can do whatever they want.'"

"Lord Guo, I am just a dog that bites when His Majesty tells me to. I say these words because I am by His Majesty's side. Whether Lord Guo wants to listen is up to you; if you don't want to listen, I still have to say it."

Yin Yin Zhengmao frowned and asked in a low voice: "Great Eunuch, have you received any wind? If you could give me a few hints, I would be very grateful."

"There really is." Li Li Yougong gave a few more low instructions, and Yin Yin Zhengmao's face changed drastically, his fists hardening!

Yin Yin Zhengmao said furiously: "These dog things! Zhu Wan didn't listen to them and insisted on suppressing the Japanese pirates, so these dog things forced Zhu Wan to commit suicide to show his ambition! Is it not enough? Is it still not enough?! Do they want to turn Lu Song into the Southeast of the past? Even a dog knows how to bark twice. After riding the east wind of the Great Ming's opening of the seas and having a little silver in their hands, they don't even know what their surname is or what they are called!"

"They are just chaotic subjects and traitors without monarch or father!"

Li Li Yougong had indeed received some news, and it was very certain. Before he came, he met with Luo Luo Bingliang, the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander of the Southern Southern Yamen, and understood the situation. Some wealthy households in the Southeast who had risen with the wind after the opening of the seas hoped to set up a Shipping Commissioner's Office in Lu Song—a private one, of course—to facilitate the movement of goods.

Why did Zhu Wan have to die? Because Zhu Wan suppressed the private market in Shuangyu, Zhoushan, Ningbo, so Zhu Wan was forced to commit suicide. A Governor of Zhejiang, a high official, ended up in such a situation.

But the situation in Lu Song is different from that in Shuangyu, Ningbo. Lu Song is very far from the Great Ming, and the Great Ming is somewhat beyond its reach. If Yin Yin Zhengmao really cooperates with these wealthy households to set up such a private market, it would be raising a pirate nest, and the Great Ming's southeastern sea borders would never be peaceful.

Opening the seas not only brings benefits but also new contradictions and challenges. Li Li Yougong, as the third-ranking figure in the palace, actually had extremely limited ability to deal with this matter. The words he said to Yin Yin Zhengmao were actually playing an emotional card. For someone who values feelings, it is like a great weapon.

Li Li Yougong really hoped that Yin Yin Zhengmao could remember His Majesty's kindness and remember His Majesty's difficulties, and not take things too far. Interests are one aspect, but His Majesty's new policy of opening the seas is likely to encounter great resistance, even to the point of ending up in a sloppy state. Even if they really set up a private market, don't go too far; just let everyone save face.

However, what Li Li Yougong said was also the truth. If Yin Yin Zhengmao really was no longer of one heart and one mind with the Great Ming, what would His Majesty become? Li Li Yougong didn't even dare to think about it.

Human hearts are made of flesh; they cannot withstand such stabbing.

"Heaven is watching what people do." Yin Yin Zhengmao did not express his loyalty, nor did he play with words, but gave Li Li Yougong six words. But these six words were heavier than Mount Tai. A man is born between heaven and earth with integrity as his foundation. Yin Yin Zhengmao is an uncompromising man of integrity; he cannot fail His Majesty's holy favor.

Yin Yin Zhengmao was almost furious. These wealthy households had come to his territory to seek death. This is Lu Song, not the Great Ming's hinterland. Even if he sank all these wealthy households into the sea, it wouldn't cause a single ripple. The sea is so big that it can hold corpses as big as mountains!

He, Yin Yin Zhengmao, is not Zhu Wan. Yin Yin Zhengmao is a man who doesn't care about face; Zhu Wan was just too much of a gentleman. If Yin Yin Zhengmao cared about face, he wouldn't have done the thing of tearing down doors and moving beds. Yin Yin Zhengmao and Zhang Zhang Juzheng were from the same list. After the Yan Party fell and the Qingliu (Pure Stream) came to power, Yin Yin Zhengmao originally hoped that the Great Ming would get better. As a result, the Great Ming not only didn't get better, but went from bad to worse.

Since Xu Xu Jie, Yin Yin Zhengmao's way of doing things had become like this: a pragmatic official who only sought to get things done.

"Great Eunuch, is it the Sun family of Songjiang?" Yin Yin Zhengmao asked in a low voice. Human hearts change. The Sun family, who were submissive before, might not necessarily remain submissive. Yin Yin Zhengmao knew that the Sun family was very wealthy.

Li Li Yougong shook his head and said: "That's not it. It's the Zhao clan of Quanzhou taking the lead. It was Sun Sun Kehong who revealed the news to the Embroidered Uniform Guards. The two Sun brothers can still see the situation clearly. The path of offering tribute can only be walked to the end. Once you turn back, not to mention the Emperor's reaction, those wealthy households in the Southern Southern Yamen could tear their Sun family apart and eat them."

It really wasn't the two brothers Sun Sun Kehong and Sun Sun Keyi that Yin Yin Zhengmao guessed. These two really had a submissive heart. The Xu family's misfortune had passed for seven years, and the great kindness had been repaid, but Sun Sun Kehong and Sun Sun Keyi had already chosen the path of offering tribute. There was no turning back on this path.

Sun Sun Kehong received the news and immediately reported it to the Songjiang Tax Investigation Office. This Zhao clan of Quanzhou was a big maritime merchant, and their foundation was all on the sea. Even if the Embroidered Uniform Guards exerted their strength, they couldn't achieve complete success.

"Great Eunuch, move to the Governor's Office." Yin Yin Zhengmao turned his head and shouted loudly: "Zhang Zhang Yuanxun, Deng Deng Zilong, get your weapons!"

Yin Yin Zhengmao didn't say much; he only acted. When Zhang Zhang Yuanxun and Deng Deng Zilong heard about this, they immediately started to take action against the ships of the Zhao clan of Quanzhou. Deng Deng Zilong boarded the ship directly, took more than twenty coastal defense inspectors, went to Miyangang, captured the big manager and a group of clerks of Quanzhou in Lu Song, sealed their shops, and confiscated their goods for the public.

After a smooth set of moves, when Deng Deng Zilong returned to Manila, it was already evening.

Li Li Yougong looked at the statue in front of the City Hall—Pangu opening heaven and earth, Nüwa creating humans and mending the sky, Jingwei filling the sea, etc. —which Ma Deli Li Yougong linger and forget to return. Yin Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Zhang Yuanxun, and Deng Deng Zilong had finished their work and just happened to see Li Li Yougong standing with his hands behind his back, standing in front of the statue of Kua Fu chasing the sun. The evening sunlight sprinkled down, which was quite complementary.

"Kua Fu is a good man. Some people think Kua Fu chasing the sun is overestimating his own strength, but His Majesty says Kua Fu is human strength overcoming heaven, human determination overcoming heaven." Li Li Yougong turned his head and said with a smile: "Has Lord Guo finished his work?"

Yin Yin Zhengmao nodded and said: "The Great Eunuch's news is accurate. These scoundrels have already set up a private market 60 miles away from Miyangang, established in Guiyan Bay. If it weren't for the intention to investigate, I'm afraid these people would really become a serious trouble for Lu Song."

"Lord Guo, Marquis of Marquis Yingyang, Uncle Shi Long, it's getting late. If there's anything, let's talk about it tomorrow?" Li Li Yougong smiled and didn't ask for details, and even put on a lazy attitude of "let's talk tomorrow." However, Li Li Yougong is not a lazy person. In order to seek speed, he had taken hydrofoil sailboats back and forth to Lu Song before, vomiting until he lost all face, and he was also a person who sought speed.

Li Li Yougong went to rest directly, and Yin Yin Zhengmao arranged for the hostel where the envoys would stay.

Deng Deng Zilong said confusedly: "Great Eunuch Li has always been swift and decisive. Has he changed his nature today?"

"No, Great Eunuch Li gave us time to align our stories." Yin Yin Zhengmao sighed and said helplessly.

"Ah?" Deng Deng Zilong was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood. Li Li Yougong gave them enough time to make this matter decent, beautiful, and presentable, so that everyone would be decent.

Rushing to arrest people today—did the private market in Guiyan Bay really have anything to do with the Lu Song Governor's Office? It's best if it doesn't. Even if it does, Li Li Yougong dragging it out for a day can make it have nothing to do with it.

It can only have nothing to do with it. The private market was set up by the wealthy households themselves for private gain, and after being discovered by Yin Yin Zhengmao, it was hit and disappeared.

Obviously, Li Li Yougong knew some details before arriving in Lu Song and had already prepared a contingency plan. The things His Majesty, the Grand Secretary, and General Qi did, compared to Shang Yang, Zhuge Liang, and Yu Qian, were no different; they were all going against the heavens.

Kua Fu is a good man; his story is about human determination overcoming heaven.

"But that private market really has nothing to do with us! These damn wealthy households, damn it, blow up their mothers!" Zhang Zhang Yuanxun directly exploded with profanity. Zhang Zhang Yuanxun is a Confucian general. To be forced to the point of swearing and losing his refinement shows that Zhang Zhang Yuanxun was really angry. This thing is like yellow mud falling into one's pants; even if it's not shit, it's shit.

Zhang Zhang Yuanxun had specially rushed back to Manila from the Jiugang just to welcome the deployment of the two five-masted ocean-crossing ships. To express his loyalty and submissiveness, but it was all ruined by this private market.

"I will definitely give His Majesty an explanation for this matter." Yin Yin Zhengmao was not vague either. This was just the beginning. The existence of this private market exposed some problems, and a round of cleaning was imperative.

Yin Yin Zhengmao thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "The three of us are the backbone of the Lu Song Governor's Office. Once the three of us have problems, that's what's fatal. These are all small troubles. Zhang Zhang Yuanxun, Deng Deng Zilong, we must be clear about one thing: we are monks from outside, chanting the Great Ming's scriptures. Our roots are in the Great Ming. The most important contradiction of the Lu Song Governor's Office is still the issue of survival. A Governor's Office that breaks away from the Great Ming is nothing."

Without the Great Ming's support, the Lu Song Governor's Office would collapse in an instant. The contradictions in Lu Song are intricate and complex, and it needs to rely on the court's heavenly might to stabilize its rule. Yin Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Zhang Yuanxun, and Deng Deng Zilong have absolutely no need to dig their own graves. Not to mention anything else, the Red-Haired Barbarians on Mindanao Island are waiting for this day.

"Understood." Zhang Zhang Yuanxun and Deng Deng Zilong said very affirmatively.

Deng Deng Zilong returned to his Shi Mao General's Mansion, still furious. A great day was ruined by this group of wealthy households.

"Husband is back?" Luo Jin Lian was already showing signs of pregnancy. She was wearing a very loose silk gauze dress, and her plump figure was looming under the gauze dress. The weather in Lu Song was extremely hot, and she was a Westerner, so she dressed very coolly.

Luo Jin Lian had prepared coconut juice. When she held it, it was like holding three big coconuts in her arms. Looking at the baby in the future, it wouldn't lack food. She arrived at Deng Deng Zilong's side and asked with a smile: "When husband left, he said today was a great day, and even the Marquis of Marquis Yingyang came back from the Jiugang. Why is husband so angry?"

"Sigh." Deng Deng Zilong briefly explained what happened. Luo Jin Lian was not a political novice. Since she started contacting Deng Deng Zilong, she liked to discuss the similarities and differences between the Great Ming and Western systems. Deng Deng Zilong was a rough man and not very sensitive to these political things. This was Deng Deng Zilong's shortcoming, not that Deng Deng Zilong was stupid, but that fighting wars consumed a lot of mental energy, so he had no energy to study these.

Luo Jin Lian pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It's okay. Since the first year of Emperor Wanli, His Majesty has been a very magnanimous person. These are all setbacks that must be experienced. Even husbands and wives have times when they quarrel. If there are no bumps, that would be a strange story. If they look at each other with disgust, that would be truly dangerous. Husband, even the imperial censor who went to Yunnan wants to impeach the Qian State Duke's Mansion for annexing without count."

"It's really not a big deal. If small contradictions are not handled, they will accumulate into big contradictions. In Zhang Mr.'s words, it is 'freezing three feet is not a day's cold,' quantitative change leads to qualitative change, until heaven collapses and earth cracks. It's actually quite good to have some small contradictions. The Marquis of Marquis Sishui did a good job."

"Such a big Lu Song, such a big Ten Thousand Mile Sea Pond—if there were no moths at all, the court would be suspicious. Husband, set your heart at ease."

Deng Deng Zilong was stunned when he heard this, and the clouds of worry on his face finally dissipated. He said with a smile: "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be the case."

Luo Jin Lian stretched backward, and the eight taels of meat on her chest were sometimes a burden. Her eyebrows were full of waves, and she said with a light smile: "When I first served husband here, I wasn't unable to withstand the conquest, and I also had worries day and night, fearing that husband would abandon me. How could I live as a Red-Haired Barbarian? After a long time, my heart and eyes are full of husband's image."

"In the eyes, not in the eyes. This retroflex sound isn't used like that." Deng Deng Zilong corrected the error in Luo Jin Lian's pronunciation.

Luo Jin Lian shook her red hair and said full of style: "Is there a possibility that I just said it in the eyes? Hehe."

Only then did Deng Deng Zilong understand what Luo Jin Lian was saying. He was stunned for a moment. As expected of a lady from the West, she talked about these things and went straight to the lower three paths.

"Lady, we are discussing a serious problem." Deng Deng Zilong said somewhat helplessly. This lady of his saw these things very clearly, but she just liked to talk about dirty things.

"The Great Ming culture tends to be conservative and avoids such things, but in fact, it's nothing. Confucius said: 'Eating and sex are the great desires of humans.' Eating: people's livelihood; sex: health and happiness. The Sage Confucius still felt that these were the two major needs for human survival, but the later Confucian scholars avoided them like snakes and scorpions. They are just rotten Confucians." Luo Jin Lian had been with Deng Deng Zilong for six years, and the cultural differences still existed.

Luo Jin Lian liked to read. When Deng Deng Zilong was not there, she read books. Luo Jin Lian had read the Great Ming's Four Books and Five Classics and the Pre-Qin philosophers. She had even studied the theory of contradictions.

"Husband, do you remember the resistance in the Netherlands I told you about before? Some wealthy households in Spain, conspirators in England, and handicraft workshop owners in the Netherlands were the main force of resistance. Money is the devil, and now the devil is gradually showing its power." Luo Jin Lian chose to respect her husband and stopped talking about dirty things, instead discussing the social and human changes after the Great Ming opened the seas.

"Seeking profit, the nature of a merchant." Deng Deng Zilong said somewhat desolately.

Luo Jin Lian frowned and said: "Therefore, it is better for the natives of Lu Song to die. These wealthy households, stirring together with these natives, will also cause trouble. And as husband said, Li Li Yougong said let's talk tomorrow, which shows that Li Li Yougong is still not satisfied. He obviously knows more and is waiting for the Marquis of Marquis Sishui to deal with it."

"What does Lady mean?" Deng Deng Zilong was stunned.

Luo Jin Lian's eyebrows were directly twisted into a knot, and she said with deep worry: "There is a mole. The Governor's Office, the Shipping Commissioner's Office, and even the Coastal Defense Inspection must have developed parasites. Li Li Yougong is waiting for this, and Li Li Yougong is also observing whether the Marquis of Marquis Sishui will deal with it. Husband, don't look at Li Li Yougong always smiling; that place in the palace, how could someone who can fight to his position be simple? As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he is here to observe Lu Song on behalf of His Majesty."

"His words can completely influence His Majesty's view of Lu Song, and this person doesn't take silver, is impervious to oil and salt. The Marquis of Marquis Sishui tried it before. If not handled well, it will be trouble."

Deng Deng Zilong stood up and wanted to go out again to find Yin Yin Zhengmao to explain the severity of the matter. Luo Jin Lian smiled and pulled Deng Deng Zilong back, saying with a smile: "Husband, don't be in a hurry. The Great Ming officialdom is full of bloodless knives, but every knife wants a life. The Marquis of Marquis Sishui has been an official for many years; I'm afraid he has already thought of it. Husband, don't worry."

Yin Yin Zhengmao is so shrewd, he is simply an old fox. How could he not be thoughtful in his conduct? By the time Deng Deng Zilong went home to ask clearly, the day lily would have been cold. With Yin Yin Zhengmao's experience in dog-fighting, even if he went to the Zhao Wenhua Hall, he would still be a wise minister.

"Lady, it's a beautiful night, and a beauty is by my side. Shouldn't we rest?" Luo Jin Lian licked her lips, her eyes blurred. Since she was pregnant, the fire in her heart was burning even more fiercely.

"Oh, Lady, you are pregnant! Husband also feels sorry for Lady!" Deng Deng Zilong had returned to Manila for three days. In these three days, Deng Deng Zilong deeply understood that sentence: there are no plowed fields that can be broken, only oxen that can be plowed to death. No matter how strong his Deng Deng Zilong's martial arts were, he couldn't withstand such exploitation.

"Go! Come into the room with me!" Luo Jin Lian's face changed immediately, and she pulled Deng Deng Zilong and walked into the bedroom of the General's Mansion in a hurry.

"Lady, you are pregnant! Husband also feels sorry for Lady!" Deng Deng Zilong had returned to Manila for three days. In these three days, Deng Deng Zilong deeply understood that sentence: there are no plowed fields that can be broken, only oxen that can be plowed to death. No matter how strong his Deng Deng Zilong's martial arts were, he couldn't withstand such exploitation.

"Bang!"

The bedroom door closed.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. Deng Deng Zilong had things on his mind, so he got up quite early. Luo Liang was, after all, someone who cherished him, so she did not pursue him excessively. The first three days were like a small separation being better than a new marriage. In fact, Deng Deng Zilong understood that Luo Liang was actually afraid in her heart. Deng Deng Zilong was, after all, Shi Longbo, a count with a hereditary certificate, and there were so many warblers and swallows on the island, all staring at Deng Deng Zilong.

Yin Yin Zhengmao and Zhang Zhang Yuanxun's wives were all Han people, only his Deng Deng Zilong's wife was a Red-Haired Barbarian. Wouldn't they just focus on Deng Deng Zilong alone? Luo Jin Lian had no good way, so she could only choose to squeeze him dry. If he was squeezed dry, he would be a saint.

Luo Jin Lian was somewhat lazy, yawning, and was truly radiant, still carrying some unfinished business.

What kind of person is Yin Yin Zhengmao? He is a ruthless man who climbed from a Reviewing Policy Advisor to the Viceroy of Liangguang, and then suppressed the Japanese pirates in Liangguang under the dog-fighting of Gao Gong and Zhang Zhang Juzheng. Li Li Yougong's "let's talk tomorrow" was something he didn't understand at the time, but after walking two steps, he understood what Li Li Yougong was looking at.

Soon, Yin Yin Zhengmao found out the truth. There were indeed moles, involving two coastal defense inspectors and three clerks in the six rooms of the Governor's Office. The wealthy households had infiltrated the Governor's Office extremely severely.

"Great Eunuch, let's take these criminals back to the capital for trial." Yin Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Zhang Yuanxun, and Deng Deng Zilong had reached a consensus on this matter. The criminals of the Guiyan Bay private market would all be taken back to the capital for trial, so as not to let the wise ministers in the court worry.

Li Li Yougong thought for a while and said: "Since it happened under Lord Guo's jurisdiction, let's deal with it in Lu Song."

"It's better to take them back to the capital for trial." Yin Yin Zhengmao glanced at Zhang Zhang Yuanxun and Deng Deng Zilong. These two were both indifferent. Their eyes were all on the five-masted ocean-crossing ships and had never been taken back. The only five-masted ocean-crossing ship in Lu Song was Type A, which was completely incomparable to Type C.

Yin Yin Zhengmao was even more convinced that these three clerks and the Guiyan Bay private market really had nothing to do with these two. Then take them all back to the capital for trial, and let His Majesty decide whether to kill or cut them.

"Oh, that's good, that's good. Lord Guo, set your heart at ease. I guarantee with my head that they will definitely arrive in the capital safely." Li Li Yougong said happily: "These wealthy households in our Great Ming have nothing else, but they have many means. If these criminals disappear on the way, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for Lord Guo."

"Sorry to trouble you, Great Eunuch." Yin Yin Zhengmao was very polite.

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Li Li Yougong, as a eunuch patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven, did the work of offending people, so he could only test it out like this. It was indeed annoying, but he was just doing this. Ask for monthly tickets, Awoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
