Located on the north side of Dahao Commercial Port, Dahao North Street is the location of the Chaozhou General Office and the Chaozhou Prefectural Office of the Ming Dynasty!

The two yamen are actually two square shaped buildings that are almost identical. Both of them are two-story high. There are towering corner buildings on the four corners, and there are also a wide and grand gate. There are stone lions outside the door. At first glance, it looks no different from the "Caigong Mansion" where Zhu Hesheng is staying, but it covers more than twice the size.

When the sky became dark, a man dressed in a blue cloth shirt dressed in a servant quietly walked into the tiles of the General Army's Office and walked straight to a main hall inside. The soldiers standing guard inside and outside the General Army's Office seemed to have not seen him, neither interrogating nor blocking him.

After the man in green walked into the main hall, he bowed and said, "Big Boss, the cannon Zhu arrived at the factory mansion yesterday afternoon."

"Big Boss" is Qiu Hui's honorific title. Qiu Hui was originally a villager who recruited capital on Dahao Island and relied on raising ducks and selling salt. Zheng Chenggong went to follow the crowd when recruiting soldiers in Nan'ao and became a soldier in Zheng Ming's army. Later, he got a small official for his contributions and made friends with a group of heroes in the army.

Before the Qing Dynasty implemented the sea ban on the relocation of the border, he was ordered to operate in the coastal areas of Chaozhou. After the relocation of the coastal areas began, Chaozhou was in chaos and the Qing army was exhausted from suppressing the situation everywhere. Qiu Hui seized the opportunity to initiate an operation in Dahao, gathering more than 10,000 troops, and occupied Dahao Island, which was close to the mainland.

After that, with the assistance of Zheng Ming's forces, he worked hard to build Dahao into a wealthy trading port and coastal salt farm. He used private salt and maritime merchants to gain huge profits to recruit soldiers and dominate one side. At the same time, he also used the "intermediate forces" like Mr. Yu who were on both ships to share the spoils with corrupt officials in Chaozhou and Huizhou in the Qing Dynasty.

Because the Qing court carried out relocation of borders and banned seas in various coastal areas, the originally prosperous international trade suffered a heavy blow. However, the demand for trade did not completely disappear, and the Qing court could not fully control the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian, so three main smuggling trade ports emerged, Xiangshan, Macau, Dahao and Xiamen.

The only three remaining ports in the country are naturally prosperous and wealthy... Moreover, Qiu Hui does not eat alone, and there is also the need to raise enemies in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion and Xushun Gong Mansion.

Therefore, Qiu Hui has been "ignored" by the Qing army in Guangdong in the past two years, and they also allowed the forces that depended on Qiu Hui to continue to expand their power in the territory of Huilai, Chaoyang, Chenghai, Jieyang and other counties in Chaozhou Prefecture.

Qiu Hui himself was also praised by the heroes of the rivers and lakes along the Chaohui coastal areas as the boss Hui.

Now this boss Hui is using supper, not eating alone, but a man and a woman, who are accompanying her deskmates.

The man was in his thirties and looked very similar to Qiu Hui. He had a face full of flesh, his eyebrows were erect, and he had a scary scar on his face, and he looked like an unreasonable and cruel man. The man was named Qiu Rong, and his nickname was "Scar Rong". He was Qiu Hui's eldest son, and he was also the second-in-commander of Dahao Ming Army. He was appointed as the prefect of Chaozhou.

The woman looked much better. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with white skin, a melon-shaped face, thin lips, agile eyebrows and eyes, and quite heroic. She was Qiu Hui's fourth daughter, named Shuzhen. She was the daughter of the Qiu family that Zhu Qipao had always been thinking about.

In this feudal society, men who prefer boys over girls were generally not allowed to eat, but wives, concubines, daughters, and daughters-in-law were not allowed to serve.

Of course, Qiu Hui was also an old feudal country. After his development, the family had quite a lot of rules. But he was really an exception to his fourth daughter Shu. He really gave whatever he wanted and said whatever he said. As long as the boss Hui could do it, he would never have any words and would definitely be so spoiled that he had no rules.

The big boss Hui is so pampering his daughter Shuzhen, not because this girl is very beautiful, nor because her mouth is sweet.

But it was because of an unknown domestic violence tragedy! Shuzhen's biological mother was beaten to death by the big boss Hui, who was drunk too much and fell into a violent state!

Not long after killing Shuzhen's biological mother, Qiu Hui, who was in good health, suffered a serious illness. After recovering from the illness, he developed a circle of rat sores on his neck. Therefore, it was also called "stinky neck suck" by Qing officials who were enemies.

He was sick and sore, which finally made Qiu Hui feel deeply guilty for his wife. So he built a ancestral hall for his wife on Dahao Island, burning incense every day to forgive him and give birth to his only daughter Qiu Shuzhen, who was the only daughter of his wife.

An important reason why Qiu Hui refused to marry his daughter Shuzhen to Pao Zhu was also the crime of killing his wife he committed back then... He was just a cannon temper. After drinking too much, he had a quarrel with his wife, and he couldn't control his slap and punched him, which turned out to be a big mistake!

The cannon Zhu is also famous for his fierce temper, and his martial arts skills are even better than Qiu Hui at that time. I heard that he also likes to carry a short-handled axe with him. When he is in harmony with the human fire, he often kills people with flying axes!

If you drink too much, you can't kill anyone?

Therefore, the factory eunuch Pang was so proud that Qiu Hui refused to give in!

But the problem is that his daughter Qiu Shu really doesn’t know how powerful it is!

She didn't know that her mother was beaten to death by her father, so who dared to tell her? Moreover, Zhu Qipao is good-looking, tall, with a furious eyebrows and a roaring beard... The appearance of an uncle in the entire tower is uniquely masculine and is definitely not sissy. It is very consistent with the aesthetics of Miss Qiu Si who grew up in a pirate's nest.

So after Miss Qiu Si and Zhu Hesheng met for more than a dozen times, they already liked this fierce bearded man.

When Qiu Hui was in a dilemma, his daughter Shuzhen had already put down her chopsticks and asked: "I arrived yesterday afternoon? Why didn't I see Brother Pao come to the General Army Office to pay a visit?"

When Qiu Hui heard his daughter affectionately calling Pao Zhu "Brother Pao", he felt a little shocked.

This girl wouldn't wait to get anxious and want to get married, right? Qiu Hui also remembered the news that Zhu Qipao was captured by the Chaozhou Government of the Qing court a while ago. This little girl cried so hard that her eyes were red for several days.

This is not OK! Qiu Hui looked at his daughter and said to himself: "That cannon Zhu is very fierce and will hit you!"

"Reply to the fourth lady, Zhu Youxu was injured and might need to take a rest before visiting the mansion. In addition..."

This man in blue clothes and dressed as a servant was arranged by Qiu Rong to work in detail at the factory mansion (actually, the factory man knows his existence). He has always been more capable and can always find out the situation in the factory mansion to Qiu Rong. But now he looks like he wants to speak but stops, which is a bit strange.

"What can't be said?" Qiu Rong sternly said, "How can you hesitate?"

"Reply to the eldest son," Na Xizao said hurriedly, "I found that the behavior of the cannon Zhu was a bit strange..."

"What's weird?" Shuzhen blinked and asked curiously, "Have he asked about me?"

Qiu Hui was confused when he heard this...

The thin silly shook his head, "No, I didn't ask..."

"It's a bit weird!" Shuzhen muttered, "Then has he prepared a gift for me?"

"No..." As soon as the words of the fine work were said, he saw Miss Fourth's face sinking, and he quickly changed his words, "After he arrived at the factory mansion, he asked someone to buy candy and fish and shrimp, maybe he wanted to give it to Miss Fourth."

"Sugar and fish and shrimp?" Qiu Shuzhen was stunned.

Qiu Rongze looked at his sister and asked, "Sister Four, must have bought it for you? You like eating candy, fish and shrimp!"

Qiu Shuzhen nodded: "Yes, I like eating candy and seafood!"

Qiu Hui was confused, "Sugar and seafood are not expensive, how much did he buy?"

"Returning to the general, the cannon Zhu bought 360 kilograms of white sugar! In addition, the young father-in-law (Pang Siming) went to Haimen Port to collect one or two thousand kilograms of fish and shrimp."

"Then, so many?" Even Qiu Shuzhen felt something was wrong now.

The sophisticated man said with a lot of laughter and cry, "The people in the factory also think it is strange. Everyone below is saying, will this artillery Zhu have tortured the cruel officials of the Chaozhou government and become so unconscious, right?"

Unconscious?

Beat it stupid?

This stupid son-in-law can't be asked for!

Qiu Hui waved his hand to let the slightest move back while winking his son.

"Bad," Qiu Rong said, "It's better to go to the factory office early tomorrow morning on the grounds of visiting the hospital. If he is really stupid..."

Before he could say anything, his girl Qiu Shuzhen spoke, "Dad, I'll go with my brother!"

Qiu Hui shook his head, "How can you leave (daughter) show up in public?"

Qiu Shuzhen didn't listen to Qiu Hui's words, and shook her head and said, "I just pretended to be a man, but I can't recognize him."
