"Third brother, early this morning, Zheng Zhilong came out of his house with a child and several entourages. It seems that he is most likely coming to Penghu and will arrive in the afternoon."
Although he had been prepared, Qin Yun's report still surprised Ding Yunyi.
What was supposed to come finally came.
Why did Zheng Zhilong suspect him so quickly?
Ding Yunyi carefully combed through the process of hijacking the "Viking" and found no flaws in it. Is this just Zheng Zhilong's judgment?
If this is really the case, then this person is really terrible.
"Have all the brothers involved in the operation been arranged to leave?" Ding Yunyi began to think of countermeasures quickly.
"They're all gone." Qin Yun replied, and then said: "What should I do with brother? He is timid. If Zheng Zhilong wants to question him, I'm worried..."
Ding Yunyi smiled bitterly: "It's not difficult to find an excuse to let the eldest brother leave Penghu, but it will arouse Zheng Zhilong's suspicion. Forget it, if the eldest brother really said something that shouldn't be said, we can just deny it, and he didn't do it anyway.
What evidence."
Even though he said this, he felt a little nervous in his heart. With Hong Tiaoyuan's character, it was difficult to guarantee that he wouldn't say something.
That day, he and his brothers suddenly left Penghu for "training", and when they came back there were dead and injured. If Hong Tiaoyuan had said these words, Zheng Zhilong would have understood what was going on on the spot.
But now there is no way.
But this reminded Ding Yunyi of another thing that he had considered for a long time, who has the final say in Penghu now. Although Hong Tiaoyuan didn't care about things, his character caused him a lot of trouble. Especially in
When facing a crisis like now.
Penghu is too small and its own strength is too weak. It must be twisted up and down into a rope and condensed into one heart before it can develop and grow quietly.
After all, the era of turmoil is not far away...
He temporarily put aside the idea in his mind, discussed it carefully with Qin Yun, and quickly told Qin Yun to do it. Qin Yun was about to leave, but Ding Yunyi suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute, you said Zheng Zhilong also brought a child?"
"Yes." Qin Yun said immediately: "The person we are monitoring does not dare to get too close, so we can't see clearly who it is, but judging from Zheng Zhilong's affectionate actions towards him, I am afraid it is his son."
Ding Yunyi's brows knitted together tightly.
Zheng Zhilong’s son? Zheng Sen? The future Zheng Chenggong? What was Zheng Zhilong doing in Penghu with his son?
After thinking about it for a long time, suddenly an idea flashed through my mind and I almost cried out.
I thought of everything, what Zheng Zhilong would do after coming to Penghu, and how Hong Tiaoyuan should defend himself once he was asked what he had discovered.
But I just didn’t expect Zheng Zhilong to have such a trick...
"Xiaojin, go and finish those things first, and call Ah Hu in on your way out."
After sitting on the chair and thinking for a while, Ah Hu rushed in: "Brother Ding..."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I remembered that it was inappropriate. You can't call me that in the military camp, so you quickly changed your words: "Boss Ding."
"Ah Hu, there is something I need you to do." Ding Yunyi called Ah Hu to his side and gave detailed instructions in a low voice.
Ah Hu nodded frequently, but Ding Yunyi was still a little uneasy after finishing his explanation: "This fact is very important. You must not expose any flaws, otherwise your brother Ding may be killed this time."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ding, just leave it to me." Ah Hu patted his chest and swore repeatedly.
Ding Yunyi smiled: "By the way, I'll call your sister over later."
"Hey...ah, are you called to the military camp?" Ah Hu was a little confused.
"Yes, just call him to the military camp."
...
"Shenrong, how did you come to Penghu in your spare time? Hong Tiaoyuan didn't know that Shenrong was coming, so he missed the opportunity to greet him from afar. I apologize for my sin."
Zheng Zhilong suddenly appeared in front of him. Hong Tiaoyuan was shocked and quickly apologized repeatedly.
Zheng Zhilong smiled slightly and said with a pleasant expression: "Hong Shoubei, I also came to Penghu because of my temporary sexual desire. What's your crime? By the way, I haven't eaten yet. Get me some food. I know you
It’s bitterly cold in Penghu, so a bowl of white rice is enough.”
"Yes, yes." Hong Tiaoyuan responded repeatedly and hurried out to prepare.
What day is it today? The dignified Zheng Zhilong actually appeared in Penghu and even came to eat at his place?
After a while, the food was brought, only a few bowls of rice, a bowl of fish soup, and a vegetarian dish. Hong Tiaoyuan was very embarrassed, but Zheng Zhilong and his son, and the soldiers he brought with him, did not think they were the same at all. A few people could eat
Very sweet.
"I've heard that Hong Shoubei is good at cooking, and he really deserves his reputation." Putting down the empty bowl, Zheng Zhilong smiled and said: "Mingyan, after you finish eating, go out for a walk. I have something to say with your Uncle Hong."
"Yes, father." Zheng Sen stood up: "Hong Shou Bei, Zheng Sen plead guilty."
"A tiger's son in a general's door is a tiger's son in a general's door." Hong Tiaoyuan was half serious and half flattering: "A little child can be so knowledgeable and sensible. He is really lucky to join the army."
Zheng Zhilong smiled and asked all the soldiers to go out: "Why didn't you see Ding Yunyi?"
"Ah, I'm afraid Dingba is practicing with his brothers. I'll have someone call him over right now."
"No need." Zheng Zhilong waved his hand: "What happened to Ding Yunyi after he arrived on the island?"
At that time, Hong Tiaoyuan told everything about what Ding Yunyi had done after arriving on the island. How he fought against the pirates twice, how he recruited strong soldiers to make up for the lack of troops, etc., he didn't hide anything.
Zheng Zhilong listened very carefully, and after Hong Tiaoyuan finished speaking, he suddenly asked: "Hitachi Gong Yaota and Oniou Marujiu were pirates, and they committed many robberies. Where are the stolen goods now?"
Hong Tiaoyuan opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to answer.
Zheng Zhilong laughed again, a very strange smile: "In the victory letter signed by Hong Shoubei and General Ding, it was said that most of Oniwang Maru's ships were defeated and sunk. I was looking at it with joy, but I couldn't help it.
I feel strange in my heart. There must be twenty or thirty boats in Oniomaru. How did you in Penghu sink all these boats? Did you rely on the fishing boats in Penghu? Or did you use fishing nets? As far as I know, how could you in Penghu sink them in the first place?
Don’t you have this power?”
Hong Tiaoyuan's body began to tremble involuntarily.
"It's amazing, that's amazing." Zheng Zhilong said repeatedly: "Oniwang Pills are crossing the sea, and even I have a headache when I look at it, but when I arrived in Penghu, the entire fleet was destroyed. So what do you want from my Zheng family's fleet?
As for the Ming Navy, your Penghu fishing boats are enough."
Glancing at Hong Tiaoyuan, Zheng Zhilong's face gradually turned gloomy: "Do you still want to deceive me?"
