Sun Junming and Zheng Qing also took the opportunity to secretly go to the city gate to see the two Japanese people hanging naked.

Kanzaburo was half-frozen to death, while Heihachiro was even more breathless, with countless bones in his body broken. If not for the occasional slight movement of his nose, he would have been no different from a dead pig.

But this is much better than those Japanese warriors who died in front of the City God's Temple and are now burned.

Sun Junming and Zheng Qing were secretly frightened. They did not expect Ximen Qing to be so ruthless. It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, but Ximen Qing completely broke this rule and caused quite a stir as soon as he came.

Mingzhou Tong sentenced Cui Shuqing to prison, the magistrate of Mingzhou hid at home and refused to show up, the Japanese warriors and Poshuhu disappeared, and the public security suddenly improved a lot.

Anyone who dares to stand up at this time is simply seeking death.

But the Japanese warrior is not Sun Junming's last trump card. In fact, there is another trump card that he has never wanted to use, but now he has no other way.

Soon, a wax pill with a hidden letter was sent from Fuhongfang, and was taken to a small island east of Mingzhou Port by a merchant ship out to sea.

Just like when doing business on land, the green forest heroes on each mountain top have to take care of things, and the same is true at sea.[

Sun Junming and Zheng Qing were merchants who specialized in trading with Japan, so they naturally knew one or two maritime overlords. What's more, sometimes the identities of merchants and pirates were interchangeable. For example, Sun Junming was a pirate for a period of time.

.

Although I can't say that I have friendship with those maritime overlords, on the sea, money is friendship.

Since the 60% promised to Wang Fu was in vain, Sun Junming simply agreed to a 50/50 split with a certain maritime overlord in the letter.

Those maritime overlords are like sharks. When they see money, they are like sharks that smell blood. People from far away will surround them, wanting a piece of the pie.

Sun Junming's move was like throwing a piece of meat into the sharks, and the piece of meat was not small.

The value of the goods in return gifts alone is more than 100,000 yuan. This is the price that the government kept suppressing during the purchase. The goods are still high-quality. When sold in Japan, the profit will be several times, even ten times.

Therefore, Sun Junming was very confident that he could give Ximen Qing a famous blow at sea.

While he and Zheng Qing were planning, a figure quietly joined the queue at the entrance of Fuhongfang.

The mission requires dozens of maids, and no one will miss the opportunity to travel for free, not to mention the food, clothing, and different statuses.

Therefore, before the recruitment notice was posted, an extremely long queue formed at the door. When the notice was actually posted, the door was almost packed with people.

Sang Sanniang was also lining up in the crowd, and the warblers and swallows around her reminded her of Baihua Tower.

If it weren't for Ximen Qing's lack of money, why would Sang Sanniang, the boss of Baihua Building, come here to pretend to be a maid?

Sang Sanniang had clearly seen Heihachiro's miserable situation, so her revenge plan had to make some changes. This time Sang Sanniang had to do it herself.

Sang Sanniang didn't know how much confidence or confidence she had, but the anger accumulated in her heart became stronger and stronger. Unknowingly, Sang Sanniang had put on ordinary people's clothes and mingled with the team.

Sang Sanniang's followers were all sent to wait at Baihua Tower in Mingzhou. Instead of bringing two followers and being discovered by others, it is better to find an opportunity on your own.[

She inquired that the trip to Japan would be smooth sailing and would take twenty or thirty days. She would have plenty of opportunities on the ship.

Sang Sanniang did not want to get too close to Ximen Qing, but kept a certain distance, because after all she had met Ximen Qing when they were in Bianliang. Ximen Qing was as cunning as a fox, and it would not be good for him to be recognized.

.

Out of caution, Sang Sanniang prepared a small piece of jade and secretly held it under her tongue when speaking. This way she could make her signature voice ordinary and no one could identify her through this.

By noon that day, the first round of recruitment had been completed, and there were actually more than a hundred people left. Looking around, they all looked to be between seventeen or eighteen to twenty-four or five years old, and their appearance was all above average.

Capital.

Although Sang Sanniang deliberately made her face slightly yellow, her outstanding appearance still allowed her to successfully pass the first round of recruitment.

However, Sang Sanniang was still slightly surprised. It was just a selection of maids, so how could it be like a talent show? People say that Ximen Qing is very romantic, could it really be like enjoying the treatment of an emperor on a ship?

Doesn't Ximen Qing already have three concubines? I heard he also has a Hua Yuerong at home. Why can't this satisfy him?

Sang Sanniang's cheeks were slightly red. Although as the owner of Baihua Building, she had seen and understood a lot, the only man in her life was Cai You.

Unknowingly, Sang Sanniang had reached the front of the team, but she still could not get rid of her thoughts.

"Girl" Master Scholar Xiao Rang coughed as a reminder: "This girl"

Sang Sanniang suddenly struggled out of her thoughts and hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves. On the surface, she was hiding her loss, but secretly, she took the prepared jade into her mouth and pressed it under her tongue.

"What's this girl's name?"

Although Xiao Rang felt a little strange, he had read the number of girls since morning and was too lazy to think about what was strange about the girl in front of him.

Yeah, it seems like I'm a little older.

"The slave's name is Bitao." Sang Sanniang reported the nonsense name.

"Do you have a last name?" Xiao Rang nodded slightly. He had already registered several pieces of paper this morning, and Miss Bitao said there were three or five.

"My maiden name is Cai."

Somehow, Sang Sanniang accidentally adopted this surname.

"Cai Bitao?"

Xiao Rang, a master scholar, quickly wrote the three characters "Cai Bitao" and then said: "Recite the poem and listen to it."

"Ah?" Sang Sanniang was so surprised that the jade stone under her tongue almost fell out. To choose a maid, you have to recite poems?

Is there anything wrong? Being arty doesn’t seem to be the way to go?

"It doesn't matter whether it's a layman from Dongpo or a layman from Liuyi." Xiao Rang explained that he was incredulous about Ximen Qing's request. If Ximen Qing was Su Dongpo, this request wouldn't be too much. But this Master Ximen is very bad at his skills.

Words, reading gives me a headache

Sang Sanniang calmed down, this was not a difficult task for her.

"The green mist lightly cages the two phoenixes, and the cold smoke lightly touches the two crows." Sang Sanniang opened her red lips lightly and recited a poem by Dongpo Layman called Xijiang Moon.

"Huh?"

Xiao Rang, a master scholar, suddenly raised his head and looked at Sang Sanniang carefully, not because she was fluent in quilts, but because Su Dongpo's "Moon over the West River" is not the widely circulated "When will the bright moon come" or "The river goes east, the waves

Everyone can recite a few sentences.

This "Moon in the West River" is a little off-beat, because it is one of Su Dongpo's rare descriptions of "prostitutes" in brothel songs. At the end, there is such emotion as "Liu Lang saw the Wuling Flower, and his heart was full of love from then on." Some people even think that this is

The First Xijiangyue was not written by Su Dongpo.

Sang Sanniang lowered her head when Xiao Rang looked at her, and thought to herself: "Oops."

Among Su Dongpo's many poems, Sang Sanniang's favorite was "Moon over the West River". Unexpectedly, she recited it without realizing it.

Sang Sanniang also knew that reciting the Xijiang Moon poem on such an occasion seemed a bit too unusual, and she just hoped it would not arouse suspicion.

"Although this song Xijiang Moon is not widely known, the first two lines are considered rare and good."

Fortunately, Xiao Rang, a master scholar, just took a look and then lowered his head again, hurriedly wrote the number on the paper, took out a small wooden sign from his sleeve and handed it to Sang Sanniang.

"In three days, come to Fuxingfang as a servant."

Sang Sanniang's heart was beating wildly. She took the small wooden sign and bowed to Xiao Rang, the master scholar, and went in a hurry, almost missing a girl behind her.

The girl boss cursed in Mingzhou dialect unhappily, then smiled and asked Xiao Rang: "Sir, aren't there several rounds of selections to come, why did you give the small wooden sign to Bitao?"

The master scholar Xiao Rang rolled his eyes at her and said with a straight face: "It doesn't matter whether you are there or not, because you have been eliminated."

The girl chirped with an unhappy look on her face, but was taken away by her companions behind her. It was not fun to cause trouble in front of Fuhongfang.

"With this temper and character, I'd better be a young lady instead of a maid." Xiao Rang sighed softly and shouted lazily: "Next one"

Three days later, Mingzhou Port.

The magistrate of Mingzhou made a rare appearance and presided over the farewell ceremony.

For him, the sooner he sends away Ximen Qing, the god of plague, the sooner he can relax and carry out "normal" work; the two Japanese people have been put down from the city gate, and Heihachiro is already so excited that he doesn't know what happened.

It was time to burp, and Kanzaburo was only half-breathed, and was decisively thrown into prison.

"Sir, take care along the way!"

Zhizhou looked very sad and squeezed out a few tears, which made Ximen Qing almost stop making a move.

Damn it, I went to Japan to make a fortune, why are you crying in mourning!

"Sir, if something happens at home, it's better to go back early." Ximen Qing frowned and said, "Don't delay the funeral."

Zhizhou's crying face suddenly froze.

"Be content, the credit I have left for you is enough for you to get a good review this year." Ximen Qing shook his sleeves and said in a touching and dismissive manner: "Go away!"

Since Mr. Ximen made it so clear, the magistrate of Mingzhou accepted the credit for defeating the evil forces of the Japanese warriors without ceremony.

So even though he was scolded, Zhizhou said goodbye to Ximen Qing with a smile on his face.

Ximen Qing didn't bother to pay attention to him and led the people to the fleet. On the surface, these ships were conscripted by the government, but in fact, the merchants were eager for the government to do this. They could also bring some goods themselves, and the government made money for the round trip expenses.

Where can I find good things?

The first time he boarded an ancient sea ship, Ximen Qing was still quite surprised that the ship was so big. Although it was smaller than the ones that Zheng He sailed to the West in the Ming Dynasty, it was also close to two hundred Song feet in length, especially the first ship of Ximen Qing and others.

, almost two hundred and twenty to thirty feet long and forty to fifty Song feet wide. Ximen Qing secretly calculated it and found that it was almost sixty meters and ten meters wide. It was a veritable giant.

"Ah, Lord Ximen!"

As soon as we got on the boat, we were greeted by a friendly businessman with a round face.
Chapter completed!
