Chapter 3160

Although Wang Yuan had been an official of the Ming Dynasty for the first half of his life, he was not optimistic that the Ming Dynasty could counterattack Haihan and regain the lost territory.

The Ming Dynasty sent spies to Hangzhou to collect intelligence, bribe officials, and wait for opportunities to create chaos. Wang Yuan saw this and although he didn't say it, he thought in his heart that these small actions were all in vain.

Over the years, he had been invited to Zhoushan more than once, and had seen with his own eyes the powerful ships and cannons of Haihan. He knew that the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty who were far away in the temples could not imagine the mighty national power of Haihan and the strength of the armies of the two countries.

The gap in strength is so big that Ming can no longer make up for it with these little tricks.

Moreover, the areas under the rule of Haihan are far richer and more peaceful than those under the Ming Dynasty, and the taxes that ordinary people need to pay to the government are also lower. Those areas that have recently been included in the territory of Haihan can even get three to

Tax-free treatment ranging from five years.

As long as they don't go against the government, even former officials like him can be treated well under Haihan's rule, let alone ordinary people.

Living a good life, how many people are willing to risk beheading to rebel in order to welcome back the Ming Dynasty? At least he, Wang Yuan, is not willing to do such a thing. He just wants to collect rent and become an apartment owner.

Does it smell good?

Wang Yuan had met many people like Zhu Zhongyun who had illusions about the restoration of the Ming Dynasty in the past twenty years, but these people either suddenly disappeared from the world without a trace, or they gradually became aware of the power gap between the two sides.

He became disheartened and gave up the idea of ​​restoration completely.

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "You people always think that just making some noise can cause chaos in Haihan... Let me tell you, Haihan is different from Ming Dynasty. If it is so easy to cause chaos, how can Ming Dynasty do it?"

They took over the world!"

Zhu Zhongyun's face darkened and he said: "The Haihan rebels only gained power temporarily and will be liquidated sooner or later. Furthermore, our Ming Dynasty was not destroyed, so how can we say that they took over the world?"

Wang Yuan snorted and didn't agree with his statement, but he didn't want to argue with him about it. People like Zhu Zhongyun, who don't turn around until they hit the wall, will suffer big losses sooner or later.

Zhu Zhongyun then said: "Master Wang, I do have important things to do when I return to Hangzhou this time. But you also know that I can't show up easily now, so I probably have to entrust you to complete some errands."

Wang Yuan waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no! I have no interest in participating in your affairs!"

Wang Yuan could turn a blind eye and pretend not to know what Zhu Zhongyun was doing, but he didn't want to get involved personally. He felt that the other party was a little shady, and taking him in at his own risk was already a great favor.

This guy is still thinking about dragging himself into the water.

Zhu Zhongyun sneered and said: "Master Wang, don't forget the convenience the court provided you in the past. Now that you have voted for Haihan, you want to turn your back and deny him? Have you ever thought about what if the Haihan people knew about your previous tricks?

How will I deal with you after finding out the truth?"

When Wang Yuan heard that the other party started to settle old scores, his face suddenly darkened.

During his tenure in the past, he had used his position for a long time to make it easier for Haihan goods to enter and exit Zhejiang, and in exchange for this, he earned a lot of income.

But how can such a good thing be enjoyed exclusively by a sixth-grade general judge with no background for a long time? These small actions of Wang Yuan have long fallen under the surveillance of the Ming Dynasty factory guards.

If Wang Yuan is to be convicted, the charge of having connections with foreign countries must be indispensable. His cooperation with Haihan has become a handle for the factory guards.

So while Wang Yuan was working for Haihan, he would also provide information to the Daming Factory Guard Yamen, and even take the initiative to run some small errands for them in exchange for the Factory Guard Yamen's protection.

For example, in a certain month of a certain year, how many Haihan goods that were not under government supervision arrived in Hangzhou through secret channels and entered the Zhejiang market. Or how much money and land Haihan gave to Mr. XX through him.

Some Ming Dynasty factory guards with special tasks also used the channels arranged by Wang Yuan to go to Zhoushan and other places under Haihan's rule.

Although Wang Yuan has never openly opposed Haihan, his cooperation with the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty is also true. After so many years, the factory guard yamen naturally has some information about him. If this information is leaked to Haihan,

If he goes, although his crime will not lead to death, he will still lose Haihan's trust.

As for the way to make money that was finally established, most of it will be like the sealed underground casino and disappear.

Wang Yuan is heartbroken about money, but he is even more worried about the consequences it will cause. By then, he will surely fall into a situation where neither party can get a good deal, and no one will provide him with protection.

And the family property he has finally accumulated over the years will not only not be the guarantee for the family in the future, but will also attract covetous people. The Wang family, which has lost its protective umbrella, will immediately become a piece of fat in the eyes of others. It is difficult to say that there will be

What kind of situation occurs.

Wang Yuan was not willing to be controlled by the factory guards, but he did not dare to risk his life and family's future.

He thought for a long time before answering: "I will not participate in such things as ugly talk, murder, arson, and rebellion."

Zhu Zhongyun sneered and said: "Master Wang thinks too highly of himself. Do you think you can still be trusted by the court to entrust you with such a big thing?"

Wang Yuan was ridiculed by him. Although he was a little unhappy, he felt a little relieved.

He now wished that the court had forgotten that there was still a person like him and would not entrust any important errands to him.

The more important it is, the greater the risk. Wang Yuan does not want to continue to work for the dying dynasty of Ming Dynasty.

But it seems that what Zhu Zhongyun said cannot be fully believed.

When this guy first arrived in Hangzhou, he only said that he wanted to meet some local people in the casino for future activities. Wang Yuan thought that this was just a trivial matter. People from the factory guards sneaked into Hangzhou to do such a shady job.

Well, let him do it.

Who could have imagined that Zhu Zhongyun would drag officials from Haihan to the casino to gamble, and eventually the incident would come to light, causing the casino to close down and almost implicate himself. If he could have predicted such consequences, Wang Yuan would not have dealt with this guy in the first place.

Wang Yuan said coldly: "You tell me what you want to do first, and then I will consider whether to help you or not."

Zhu Zhongyun said: "I want you to deliver a few letters and meet a few people for me."

Wang Yuan asked suspiciously: "Delivery? Can't you just find an errand boy to deliver it?"

Zhu Zhongyun waved his hands and said: "I don't trust the errands I find from outside!"

Wang Yuan sneered: "Let me deliver it, and you can rest assured? Okay, where's the letter?"

Zhu Zhongyun said: "The letter is on a boat outside the city. You can pick it up tomorrow."

Wang Yuan became suspicious again: "Since it is an important secret message, why didn't you carry it with you?"

Zhu Zhongyun said: "This letter... is not convenient to carry with you. Anyway, after you pick up the letter tomorrow morning, deliver it to the recipient according to the address on the letter. Remember to get the receipt."
