Chen Xi wanted to pull the tiger away from the mountain, but he didn't know that Yu Niang and Zi Qian were met. This was mainly because he did not trust Zi Qian, the woman.￥f.￥f

Zi Qian wanted to resist Song Xier in name, but behind his back, he might betray his accomplices for some interests. It would be like a scam with a tiger.

Two days later, Ma Jiu came back to report and successfully sent the Japanese pirate letters fabricated by Chen Xi to Huaiyang Tower.

Chen Xi was originally afraid that Ma Jiu would show his strength, but this person was smarter and smoother than Chen Xi had imagined. After leaving Huaiyang Tower, when someone followed him, he led people out of the city and crawled into the Jin'an River like a ship that had been prepared long ago and went down the river.

Ma Jiu took a boat along the Minjiang North Port River, went upstream from the Wulong River Minjiang South Port, bypassed the South Island, and then rushed back to Fuzhou City.

"The shopkeeper is right. The woman really sent someone to follow her. Fortunately, I followed your instructions and made arrangements in advance. I got rid of them without much effort."

Chen Xi saw that Ma Jiu had changed all his clothes and pants when he came back, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, that woman has doubts."

Ma Jiu thought for a while and replied: "There must be some doubts, but I said a few quarrels of Japanese words to him, and then chatted with an old man dressed in Japanese with a scholar beside her. She believed it and rewarded me with a tael of silver before leaving, and the money was here."

Although Ma Jiu was a gangster, he had no intention of greed for money at all. He handed over a ingot of silver to Chen Xi. Chen Xi waved his hand: "Since it was rewarded by Song Xier, you can just take it. After the matter is done, there will be a lot of rewards. In the next step, Song Xier will definitely try every means to plunder the population, and should not take care of the Chamber of Commerce for the time being. When it is almost done, you can contact us and try to trick Song Xier out."

Ma Jiu nodded: "Okay."

In order to make the whole plan reasonable as much as possible, Chen Xihuan asked Ma Jiu to rent a simple house near the Jin'an River Wharf outside the city as a contact location. Before confirming that there was no risk in this transaction, Song Xier would definitely not take action in person. At most, Deli's subordinates would come forward. This requires Ma Jiu to be sophisticated and sophisticated, adapt to the situation and fool Song Xier's subordinates.

About five or six days later, Song Xier sent someone to the contact location and agreed to meet Ma Jiu that night.

Ma Jiu didn't dare to be careless and hurried over to report to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi stroked her chin and thoughtfully: "With Song Xier's shrewdness, it is impossible to expose the date location early, there must be a fraud. There must be something wrong with this appointment. You don't have to pay attention to it, come and visit again after two."

Ma Jiu asked in confusion: "Little head, since the woman named Song sent someone here, will it be a mistake to avoid him?"

Chen Xi smiled faintly: "It is easy to get bad things when we meet. You have to know that she is doing a beheading business now, and she must be more cautious than anyone else. Any impatience we show will arouse her suspicion."

Ma Jiu seemed to understand, but he still followed Chen Xi's instructions that night and did not go to the agreed location. He just hid in the grass in the distance early to look at it.

As Chen Xi said, Song Xier sent thirty or forty people, holding swords, guns, swords and halberds, ambushing around the agreed location, as if preparing to come to "black and eat black". As a result, no one showed up, which made Song Xier lose her temper.

The next day, Chen Xi asked Ma Jiu to go to the blacksmith shop under the name of the Chengxi Chamber of Commerce to retrieve a few newly created long swords. All of them were carefully crafted according to the extended Japanese swords that Japanese pirates usually used. Although the sharpness is definitely not as good as that, at least there is no difference in appearance.

In addition, there are several daggers and more than a dozen uniquely shaped ninja darts.

Chen Xi asked Ma Jiu to find a beggar on the street and gave him two cents, saying that he would give him an additional fifty cents after delivery. He helped him give Huaiyanglou a "gift".

The beggar was so hungry that he excitedly went to Huaiyang Tower to give gifts when he heard this. As a result, he was detained on the spot. The people from Huaiyang Tower immediately escorted the beggar to the agreed place. Unfortunately, there was not even a ghost on the ground except for a red seal that had been filled with fifty cents.

The gift is a brocade box containing a dagger and a dart used by ninjas.

In the next few days, Huaiyang Tower was heavily guarded, and there were also personnel inside and outside, and there were also soldiers patrolling the nearby streets. It was obvious that Song Xier was worried that her rash actions last night would annoy the Japanese pirates, and the other party would be unable to resist the revenge they came to the door.

You should know that the Japanese pirates kill and plunder in the coastal areas, and they do all kinds of evil, and even the official army dares to compete with each other. Sometimes, there will be scenes of a large group of Ming troops fleeing in small groups of Japanese pirates.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Xi wrote a second letter in Japanese, criticizing Song Xier for being "not keeping her trustworthy" and agreed on the time and place for the second meeting. It was said that Song Xier must bring the "goods" to trade in person, and there should not be too many people around her, otherwise she would "be responsible for the consequences".

This time, Chen Xi wanted to let others go because of the threat of "gifting" before, which angered Song Xier. If Ma Jiu goes, it might be dangerous. But Ma Jiu volunteered:

"Little shopkeeper, it was me last time, and they will definitely be suspicious this time. Besides, let others learn Japanese language now, and it is too late to go to the time. If I have any accidents, please tell the boss of the Chamber of Commerce Sun and ask her to help take care of my married sister, I am just a relative."

Ma Jiu's words meant to entrust his funeral behind his back.

Chen Xi nodded. Now that the plan is one step short of success, you must take risks. A woman’s kindness is not good.

After Ma Jiu set out, Chen Xi calculated that the worst result was that Ma Jiu was tortured and questioned Song Xier, and finally confessed to him and the Chamber of Commerce. Not only did the plan fail, but he might also have to find a way to escape. But Chen Xi was confident in Ma Jiu. He looked at people and felt that Ma Jiu was like Song Xiaocheng. Although he was born in a humble background, he was still reliable in doing things.

Chen Xi was restless until the next morning when Ma Jiu came back with injuries on his face and body. When Chen Xi saw the person, he asked with concern: "It's okay?"

"Little shopkeeper, I didn't say anything. The evil woman had no doubt about my identity as a representative of the Japanese. She ordered someone to torture me to force me to tell me the whereabouts of the Japanese. However, I was stubborn and they had no choice but to give up. In the end, I took out the letter and their attitude improved. After apologizing, they took me to see the goods they prepared."

"There are about fifty men and more than one hundred women in this batch. I don't know where they got them. They are all locked in the dungeon in the backyard of Huaiyang Building. The shopkeeper, why don't we go and sue the government and let the government take action."

Chen Xi shook his head: "It's useless. Since they are willing to let you meet someone, it means they are not afraid of the matter being exposed. If they report to the official, the custodian will disappear before the custodian arrives."

"Whether these people were really kidnapped by them to sell, or were disguised by their own people, it means they believed you. Brother Jiu, you did a good job this time."

Ma Jiu heard Chen Xi praise. He felt comfortable all over, and the little wound on his body seemed to be nothing: "My sixth brother warned that you must do your best to do your best to do your business to the shopkeeper, I just did what I should do."

Chen Xi nodded: "Now it's only the last step away from the agreed location outside the city. Song Xier is insidious and cunning, and may not be able to take action in person. We have to take one step at a time."

Ma Jiu asked, "Then I will go back and notify the brothers now and let them be prepared."

Chen Xi waved his hand: "No, it's too early to call people now. Song Xier may be staring at our Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce. It's hard to guarantee that no one will leak the secrets among the brothers. Brother Jiu, you go to a place now and invite someone to come."

Ma Jiu left with questions. At the third evening, Chen Xi was about to blow the lights and go to bed, but the person he invited arrived, but it was Yu Niang.

Yu Niang was still wearing men's clothes. Facing Chen Xi's unexpected invitation, her face was full of doubt. Chen Xi closed the door, and Yu Niang smiled: "I don't know, I thought Mr. Chen was in a foreign land and was lonely. I needed my servant to come and accompany her."

Chen Xi smiled bitterly: "Yu Niang smiled and asked you today. I have something important to discuss."

Chen Xi said that Song Xier might take people out of the city next time, and Yu Niang frowned: "Song Xier is cautious. She raises dead soldiers in Huaiyang Tower, and some people serve her. In addition to occasionally seeing Commander Fang, she usually does not go out of the gate. What strategy does Mr. Chen make can help her out of the city?"

Chen Xidao: "I won't say anything about the plan for the time being, but I'm short of staff now. I want to borrow someone from Yu Niang, but Yu Niang must ensure that this matter cannot be related to Miss Zi, otherwise the matter will definitely be exposed."

Yu Niang has been struggling in the Fengyue Field for many years. When she heard Chen Xi's words, she understood. Chen Xi felt that Zi Qian was unreliable and even colluded with Song Xier behind her back.

Yu Niang said helplessly: "It's a pity that my family has just arrived in Fuzhou for a while. How can I find someone to help Mr. Chen? Even if Song Xier leaves the city, there must be a lot of people around her."

Chen Xi remained silent: "I don't want many people, I just need Miss Xier."

Yu Niang was surprised first, and after thinking about it, she seemed to understand something. Xier had some skills and could be useful at critical moments.

Yu Niang smiled sweetly: "I have already sent her to Mr. Chen. If Mr. Chen wants to order her, just give me instructions. Why do I need to borrow someone from me and be afraid that she will be shameful and will ruin the grand affairs of the young master."

Chen Xi said seriously: "Yu Niang just borrows someone. As for how to do it, I will explain in detail. Yu Niang must remember that you must not disclose this matter and know it with Miss Zi. Even if she asks, she will say that she doesn't know."

Yu Niang nodded, but wondered in her heart: "Why did he repeatedly remind me that I didn't know the importance of the Zi sister, and how could he dare to reveal such a thing easily?"

After Yu Niang left, Chen Xi began to prepare for the next action, that is, to design clothing and dialogue for the subsequent meeting.

Chen Xi was about to dress Xier up as a female ninja from Japan, and then let some trustworthy brothers at the entrance of the Chema Gang change into Japanese pirates' clothes. In this way, it would be difficult for Song Xier to be fooled.

In Huaiyang Tower, Song Xier was discussing with several confidants.

Song Xier sent someone to investigate for a long time, but still couldn't find out which group of Japanese people were going to do business with her. She would not accept transactions of unknown origin, but this time the amount was huge. Based on the amount of twenty taels of silver per person, the amount involved was as much as more than three thousand taels of silver. It was really difficult to suppress such temptation.

Furthermore, it is not easy for Japanese pirates to be spread along the coastal islands. It is not easy to find out where they come from. If the other party really wants to trade and give up the opportunity to make big money in vain, even Song Xier, who has a lot of money, will still feel heartbroken.

Finally, there are many people who have been plundered this time. I am afraid that something will happen if I am locked in the dungeon of Huaiyang Tower for a long time. It is best to send the person out early and put it in a bag.

A stout man named Shang Weiqi in his thirties said, "The boss, I saw that the boy who came before was unreliable. Last time we went to get people, we lost everything. What if they didn't show up this time?"

A half-bian wearing a Confucian shirt and whispering Wu Yue's voice, said, "It's not true, I tell you, the Japanese are suspicious by nature. I have read the letter carefully. It was definitely written by the Japanese. Although the grammatical sentences are a bit strange, it is indeed Japanese."

Shang Weiqi was a little angry: "How do you know the Japanese writings when you are a fake Taoist scholar?"

The old Confucian scholar replied disdainfully: "If you don't know me, you won't allow others to know me before helping the head of the family. However, I have been doing business with Japanese people for decades, so of course I know the words of Japanese people. I saw that even if I were not Japanese people, I would at least often deal with Japanese people, and I would speak with Japanese people."

"I know the habits of these Japanese people best. They are used to being cautious in their actions. They usually don't show up in the first contact, but they will appear the second time. If the transaction goes well, everything is easy to say, but if something happens, they will stab someone with a knife. Their long swords are very sharp and light and agile, which is very difficult to deal with."

Seeing that the old Confucian scholar was very polite, Shang Weiqi stopped refuting it, but instead asked Song Xier about his opinion: "The head of the family, do you think we will go or not?"

Song Xier said: "Don't do business with the Japanese once or twice. Is it possible that the money you put in front of me will not make money? The Japanese only ask me to bring thirty entourages. You can bring fifty people to cushion and bring all the guys. I don't believe that on our territory, the Japanese will be invincible."

ps: third update

It was probably because of a fever and a headache. After the emperor finished writing, he looked back and felt that Shen Xi’s response seemed to be a problem, but he didn’t know where the problem was. After all, this kind of brain-burning design is not the emperor’s strength. Let’s do it first. If you have any shortcomings, you can put it into the book review area.

There is no update today, and the monthly tickets have declined severely. For the sake of the emperor's illness and adding another chapter, everyone will give you a subscription. The monthly tickets and other things to be continued.
Chapter completed!
