As a descendant of Qi Jiguang, Yu Qi not only inherited Qi Jiguang's brave side, but also inherited Qi Jiguang's smart side.

After coming to Dengzhou City, he did not rush to suppress the Japanese in a blind way, but secretly sent people to investigate the situation in order to find out how many Japanese pirates in Wendeng were, what scale was, and where they were entrenched.

In his opinion, only by clarifying these problems can we successfully eliminate the Japanese pirates.

Yu Qi's subordinate Wang Ermazi played an important role in this process.

Wang Ermazi is already familiar with the people of this generation, and he also uses his advantage to investigate the truth of the matter to the greatest extent.

In Wang Ermazi's view, many private news are more efficient and more realistic than inquiring about news through the government channels.

He didn't know if he didn't ask, but he was really shocked.

It turned out that according to local people, the Japanese pirates entrenched near Wendeng actually had a close relationship with the Luo family, a wealthy businessman in Wendeng.

It is said that the Luo family and the Japanese pirates reached an agreement, and the Luo family would pay tribute to the Japanese pirates on time. In return, the Japanese pirates would not only not harm the Luo family's people, but also escort the Luo family caravan to sea to ensure their safety.

This hearing shocked Wang Ermazi.

He was shocked and felt very angry.

If it is really as the people say, then the Luo family will be really angry with each other.

He was obviously a citizen of Daming, but he reached a bullshit agreement with the Japanese pirates.

For the sake of a private family, I would not hesitate to raise a tiger to harm my fellow villagers and would harm my fellow villagers. Such people are so hateful.

Of course, Wang Ermazi was not blinded, but immediately returned to Dengzhou City to report the situation to his elder brother.

At this moment, Yu Qi was still in Dengzhou City, training soldiers while thinking about the next plan.

Seeing Wang Ermazi rushing over in a hurry, Yu Qi put down the document in his hand and smiled, "What, it seems that Wendeng has gained a lot from this."

Wang Ermazi walked to Yu Qi, picked up the teacup and drank it all.

He had a dry mouth all the way, how could a cup of tea be able to do it?

Wang Ermazi drank a few more drinks one after another, and then sat on the chair with satisfaction.

"Brother, this matter is a long story, let me tell you slowly..."

Wang Ermazi told Yu Qi all the things he heard and like a bamboo tube pouring beans. He was very excited.

Yu Qi was also very angry when he heard this.

Who wouldn't be excited about this kind of thing?

"The Luo family is so bold? You know that the Japanese are a serious crime of extermination. How dare they take such a risk?"

"Oh, brother, have you heard of this profit? Collusion with Japanese pirates can bring a lot of benefits. The Luo family is a well-known local wealthy businessman, and it is probably quite a lot of business in the house. Is there anything more profitable than being a maritime businessman these days? If they collude with Japanese pirates, they can go to the maritime business without any scruples. Compared to making money, what is the money given to Japanese pirates? It's just a drop in the bucket."

Wang Ermazi carefully analyzed: "And you think, this kind of thing cannot be groundless. Since the people say this, it naturally means that the Luo family is already blatant and uncovered."

Yu Qi thought about it carefully and felt that what Wang Ermazi said was very reasonable.

He nodded and said, "Yes, if it's really as you said, you need to investigate it."

He paused for a moment and said, "You know that I can't rub sand in my eyes. I will not let a bad person go, nor will I wrongly accuse a good person. If this group of Japanese pirates really colluded with the Luo family, I will eliminate the treacherous traitors for the court."

"Old Wang, please send someone to the Luo family quickly, but remember not to alert the enemy. It is best to find someone to get into their shop and see if you can get some useful information."

The Ming Dynasty law emphasizes evidence, and Yu Qi naturally cannot order people to be taken based on his own subjective conjectures.

He wanted to make sure that the Luo family was really treasonous with the Japanese, and then took them down with justification.

Wang Ermazi was overjoyed when he heard this, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely do the things for you."

...

...

Wendeng, Luo Mansion.

The head of the Luo family, Mr. Luo, sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

It's too hot and it's really hard to get away from the sea breeze.

Although there were a lot of ice cubes in the cellar in the yard, Old Master Luo still felt a little unbearable.

Old Master Luo’s name is Luo Fang, and his family is a wealthy businessman in Wendeng.

Since his ancestors' three generations, they have been running maritime business and are also a well-known prominent family in the local area.

After the Luo family became rich, they were very good at engaging in camps. They not only established good relations with the local government, but also formed good relationships with brothers in the underworld.

The Luo family, which is both black and white, develops rapidly.

In Old Master Luo's life, he had saved up a huge family business.

Unfortunately, the world is changing, nothing remains unchanged.

Soon the Japanese pirates came to the coast of Shandong, which was very terrifying.

The Luo family is a wealthy local businessman and is the fattest piece of meat. How can they keep themselves safe?

What Mr. Luo was most afraid of at that time was that the Japanese pirates came to Wendeng and swept away his family's wealth.

If this is true, how can he explain to his ancestors in the future?

At that time, his son Luo Danian came up with an idea. Instead of being so worried and worried all day long, it would be better to take the initiative to contact the Japanese pirates in order to seek cooperation with the Japanese pirates.

When he first heard this idea, Mr. Luo refused.

No matter what, he is also a wealthy businessman in the Ming Dynasty. What's the point of taking the initiative to communicate with the Japanese?

Moreover, this is a serious crime of extermination. If the news leaks out, the government will not be able to protect him no matter how good the relationship with him is.

After all, no one will joke about their own heads, and this is not something that money can solve.

So at that time, Mr. Luo flatly refused.

But Luo Dainian did not give up, but analyzed the reasons with his father one by one.

He explained the pros and cons, and then analyzed the pros and cons, which made Mr. Luo dizzy in the end.

Luo Dainian promised that there would be no news leaked, and suggested that his father give it a try.

In the end, Old Master Luo was explained and his son was fully responsible for the matter.

Luo Dainian was overjoyed and quickly sent someone to contact the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates were stunned when they heard this. They did not expect that the Ming people would do this.

They were used to fighting and killing, so they suddenly sat down to negotiate and felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Luo Dainian was very sincere and directly took out 50,000 taels of silver to honor him, and countless other ate bacon.

These things are what Japanese pirates need the most.

Japanese pirate leader Kojiro Miyamoto immediately agreed to cooperate with the Luo family.

After several cooperations, the Luo family gradually tasted the sweetness, and Old Master Luo was also secretly happy. With the backing of the Japanese pirates, their family could really leave in Wendeng in the future.
