Chen Kai was summoned and had a rough discussion with Zheng Chenggong on the matters that had already been mentioned in his admonishment. Without waiting for a while, he hurriedly brought Cai Qiao and the guards with him, and the soldiers boarded the distant Moving sea ship.

Before Zheng Chenggong came back, Chen Kai had been staying at the Zhongzuo Institute for some time. Through his interactions with Hong Xu, Lu Ruoteng, Shen Quanqi, Ruan Minxi and others, as well as Lin Dezhong's report, he had already learned about recent events at the Zhongzuo Institute. He had a comprehensive understanding. In fact, he had already received news about many of these things when he was in South Australia. It was just because he did not do it deliberately, so the news was delayed and the details were unclear. But now he has finally understood all of them. Completed.

Boarding the ship, Chen Kai came and left in a low profile. However, a few days after Chen Kai left, Zheng Chenggong first appointed Zhong Zhenbo, Hong Xu to take charge of local affairs in the Zhongzuo Office, and Feng Chengshi, who joined the army, to replace Chen Kai as the director of the Arms Bureau. After the appointment, rumors began to spread on Zhongzuosuo Island that Chen Kai came to say goodbye to Zheng Chenggong and prepare to take up a post in the DPRK.

The current situation of the imperial court is unknown to the Zhongzuo Institute. It is not only the Zhongzuo Institute in Fujian, but also Chaozhou. However, Zheng Chenggong struggled for nearly a month and finally chose to let go. But it shocked many people. What's more, they even began to suspect that Chen Kai's so-called entry into the DPRK was actually just a scam. When the ship left the Zhongzuo Institute, it even left After arriving at the Chaozhou coast, the guards sent by Zheng Chenggong could just treat Chen Kai to a meal of wonton noodles, and then throw his body into the sea. They would deliver it later, and the blame for Chen Kai's disappearance could be thrown on the court.

"This statement is very likely. If I had the surname of Guo, I would never let that guy work for others easily. Among other things, Chen Kai would take Lin Dezhong or Lin Dexiao with him every time he traveled. He is the Lin brother. He is a die-hard loyalist, so rest assured. But this time, Guo Xing still asked Lin Dezhong to lead the patrol camp and Lin Dexiao to guard the weapons bureau. Instead, he sent all his trusted guards and soldiers from Cai Qiao down to accompany him. To deceive others.”

"Hmph, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive. It is better to be dead. If he is not dead, he will be far away in Guangxi. The marriage can be said to be ruined. It is difficult for the country to interfere in matters here."

The Shi brothers whispered, and were immediately met with laughter. In their opinion, Zheng Chenggong was nothing more than a tough-looking person who bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong - Chen Kai killed Zheng Zhiwan, and he put on a show, suppressing him. Since Shi Lang bullied Huang Ting and killed Zeng De without permission, Zheng Chenggong only dared to "do no harm to kindness"; now Chen Kai intends to leave the Zheng Group, Zheng Chenggong does not dare to publicly execute him, so he started to make a living as a river pirate. This is not only a tampering with the market, but more importantly, it shows that just like Emperor Chongzhen back then, Zheng Chenggong only dared to touch relatives and civil servants, and did not dare to do anything to generals who had military power.

Since then, the Shi brothers have become increasingly arrogant, bullying generals and commanders at every turn, and running amok. However, Zheng Chenggong regarded this as deaf and blind. He just continued the deployment of the next round of war and did not do anything to them.

On May 20th, Zheng Chenggong's troops had already decided to attack Haicheng, but this time they did not go directly to Bo County, but to a place called Cizao, waiting for the Qing army to fall into their trap.

At nightfall, Zheng Chenggong held a military meeting on the ship to further refine the specific details of the battle plan. Shi Xian, as the chief military officer in aid of Zuozhen and the general participating in this battle, was also on the list of attendees. When the time came,

, Shi Xian boarded Zheng Chenggong's ship, entered the cabin, but was immediately disarmed and secretly imprisoned.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Ting, who was not a general in this battle, received an order from Zheng Chenggong to arrest Shi Lang. Huang Ting had been humiliated by Shi Lang straight into the camp some time ago, so after receiving the order, it goes without saying that he led his troops to attack the Shi family's mansion.

The troops of Youxianfeng Town surrounded the Shi family mansion, but Huang Ting did not persuade him to surrender. He directly launched an attack and easily broke open the door. Immediately, the army filed in and quickly captured Shi Lang and his father Shi Daxuan.

Everyone in the Shi family locked up and took it.

The two Ming soldiers twisted Shi Lang's arms and forced him to kneel on the ground. Huang Ting sat on the chair in front of him, and then roughly lifted Shi Lang's chin with his sword scabbard.

Looking at that face of confusion, anger and a series of emotions intertwined together, and even distorted the familiar face, he immediately coldly snorted: "Honored Lord, God's way is good, now it's your turn."

As soon as he finished speaking, the word "smash" came out of his mouth, and a soldier who knew the commander's heart well lifted up a porcelain bottle on the table and smashed it on the floor.

With a "clang" sound, the porcelain bottle shattered to pieces, just like the Shi family's status and dignity in the Zheng Group. However, this was only the first sound. When this crisp sound came into my ears,

It was as if a horn sounded, tables were smashed, stools were smashed, and other sounds that immediately echoed through the big house.

Shi Lang couldn't care less about his anger at this moment. Everything in front of him and Huang Ting's temper all showed that he had just fallen into Zheng Chenggong's trap of showing weakness to his enemies. Whether it was the sentence "You can't do anything to hurt a favor" or the recent one

He pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even the news of Chen Kai's release into the court was nothing more than a part of this trap, in order to allow him and his brother Shi Xian to continue to make trouble on the island boldly.

At this moment, Huang Ting was exactly the person he had offended many times before, and he was probably the best candidate to perform this task.

Fortunately, just like the last time he smashed Huang Ting's big tent, Huang Ting smashed the house in front of Shi Lang and even the entire Shi family, and then took them all back. Zheng Chenggong

As they were about to send out troops to fight, they handed over the Shi family members to the custody of Zhongding Bolin Xishan, and Lin Xishan handed Shi Lang over to the custody of his deputy general Wu Fang.

After capturing the Shi brothers, Zheng Chenggong did not rush to try, judge and punish them. Instead, he sent troops to Haicheng County according to the original plan. The only difference from the original plan was that the commander-in-chief of the Zuozhen Army came from Shi Xian.

He was replaced by Lin Sheng, the former deputy general of the Central Association of Rongqi Town, and that was it.

The army set off for the expedition, and a few days later news of success came. Late at night, a man came to Wu Fang's ship with an official document, claiming that he had been ordered by Zheng Chenggong to escort Shi Lang to Zheng Chenggong's ship for trial.

The good news had already reached Louchuan Town. Wu Fang did not doubt that he was there. After reading the official document, he led people to escort Shi Lang away from the ship. Unexpectedly, halfway to a remote place, someone came and plotted against Wu.

Fang and his men were beaten unconscious and then walked away.

Shi Lang didn't know what was going on. Was it Zheng Chenggong who wanted to execute him privately, or was it Huang Ting and other generals he had offended who wanted to take this opportunity to avenge their personal vengeance, or was Chen Kai's departure originally a fake and this time he was waiting for

The snipe and the clam were fighting over each other and the fisherman got a profit. Everything was unknown, and besides, these people were afraid that he would make a fuss, so they even blocked their mouths. It wasn't until the group of people hurriedly arrived at a house that Shi Lang finally relaxed.

Come on.

This is the home of his trusted general Su Mao. Visitors came here and told the story. According to them, Zheng Chenggong acted secretly. The place where he was imprisoned was learned by Su Mao from the expedition.

, his uncle Shi Fu sent someone overnight to inform him. Shi Fu was not within the scope of the arrest, so he teamed up with Su Mao, used good news and official documents to make Wu Fang careless, and then hijacked him.

The next day, news of Shi Lang's disappearance spread, and Lin Xishan began to investigate everywhere. Su Mao was away with the army. According to common sense, the Su family would not have much possibility of hiding him. Moreover, there were many ships coming and going on Xiamen Island, which made it even more difficult.

It is possible that they have already escaped with the ship, and their attention has been diverted a lot from this place.

In this way, they hid in the Su family for a day and a night. At nightfall the next day, Shi Fu prepared a ship that he usually used for sea trade. Shi Lang quietly boarded the ship from the private port and left Xiamen Island. The sea ship went all the way north,

Soon we arrived at the pier in Anping Town.

According to the information sent by Shi Fu before boarding the ship, Shi Lang's father Shi Daxuan, brother Shi Xian and other relatives are still in detention and cannot be rescued for the time being. Shi Fu's intention is to let Shi Lang go to Anping Town.

Someone has been sent to negotiate with Zheng Zhibao, hoping that Zheng Zhibao can be a peacemaker between Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang. Not only is Shi Fu and Zheng Zhibao's relationship irreconcilable, but also based on Shi Fu's statement, Chen Kai's entry into the court is probably a fake

, the children of the Zheng family now see Chen Kairu as a thorn in their flesh, and it is a win-win situation for both parties to join forces.

Walking in the night at the end of May, the cicadas were chirping and the moon was like a Wu Gou. Shi Fu was very optimistic about the success rate of making peace, but Shi Lang was not. Compared with his optimistic uncle, Shi Lang had already figured out what Zheng Chenggong wanted.

The careful planning and previous tolerance and outbreaks are bound to be violent, just like Huang Ting that day, isn't that the case?

"After this time, even if peace is made, that guy will never believe us again. In this case, it is better to surrender the Qing army and then fight back to give the man named Zheng and the man named Chen

A good one!”

Having said that, Shi Lang didn't dare to join the army rashly. Speaking of which, he was originally from the Ming army, and then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Then he followed Li Chengdong anyway, and then he was driven away by Li Chengdong and joined Zheng Chenggong.

Under his banner, Zheng Chenggong had saved his life. Now that he is destroying the internal unity in Zheng Chenggong's army, he can no longer survive and wants to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. I am afraid that the Qing army may not be able to trust him anymore.

This is probably what he is like as a repeated villain. Shi Lang would not be so self-deprecating, but the problem still exists. He still needs to contact the Qing army first and make sure that the Qing army is willing to accept him and give him military power.

Good investment in the past.

However, just as he was thinking about this, the Shi Fu soldiers leading the team suddenly stopped. After a moment of surprise, Shi Lang also noticed that under the moonlight, by the Anping Bridge in the distance, there was a young man dressed like a Confucian scholar.

Wandering there, as if waiting for someone.

Not far from Anping Bridge is Anping Town. I think this scholar must be waiting for someone from the Zheng family. If there are some romantic and charming associations, there is also the artistic conception of the moon on the willow branches and people meeting after dusk.

They were acting in secret, so they couldn't survive. Especially, they couldn't expose their whereabouts before Zheng Zhibao succeeded in making peace and were captured by Zheng Chenggong. However, before they could come forward to take action, the scholar seemed to have feelings for Yue.

He was shaking his head and reciting poems.

“In the past, my old friend’s cock was like yours, but now his grave is full of green grass;

The widowed wife has a drunkard lying on her bedside, and the surviving son has an empty stomach and rotten clothes.

The old and sick parents have no one to care for, and their corpses are lying beside the road, eaten by thousands of maggots;

You should learn from the past, and the prodigal will do his own thing when he turns around."
