Things are not big things, at least in Zhu Laosi's opinion, it is not big things at all, and in Yang Shaofeng's opinion, it is just that Zhu Laosi is a little confused.

The Ming Dynasty captured forty-three Japanese pirates, and the leader was called Ge Cheng Erlang and Ge Cheng Wulang. The two brothers and dozens of horsemen were taken away and sent to Shuntian Mansion. After being questioned, the Jinyiwei also confirmed that these people were indeed Japanese pirates.

Then the question arose.

Should these people be killed or put back? What are the plans of Japan not tribute for so many years? Should we bombard them with artillery?

The big men in the court naturally had different opinions. Some people thought that since they had arrested people, they should directly kill these dozens of Japanese pirates based on the principle of punishing past mistakes and preventing future ones and curing diseases to save people from being able to kill these dozens of Japanese pirates, so as to save them from wasting food.

Some people also think that the Japanese pirates do not come to pay tribute because these Japanese pirates are causing trouble on the beach. The normal mission is stopped by them and cannot get through the sea. Therefore, these Japanese pirates should be thrown back to Japan and let the Japanese imperial court deal with it, and then tell them to come and pay tribute quickly.

Zhu Laosi was quite confused about not only wanting to kill the people but also not wanting to influence the major event of Japan's return to the vassal because of these forty-three Japanese pirates. After all, the previous Japanese king, Ashikaga Yoshimi, performed very well.

As for the so-called country that does not conquer, whether it is Zhu Wanzhang or Zhu Laosi, it is actually not taken seriously.

"If a barbarian country overseas is suffering from China, you must not refuse to seek refuge; if you are not treated by Chinese patients, you must not raise troops at once."

You should not raise troops at will. In fact, it is as honest as not using some kind of killing weapon first. It is a country that does not seek refuge. If you make a mistake, it is a different matter.

Then the idea of ​​Zhu Laosi's plan to send these Japanese pirates back made Xia Yuanji furious.

If there were no these Japanese pirates, would the treasury pay more taxes? If they were to be sent back to Japan, would they have to be kept first and then they had to pay for their travel expenses?

The treasury is empty!

Zhu Laosi was naturally helpless about Xia Yuanji's scoundrel attitude that he could not kill and was useless to scold, so he simply threw this aside and ran to the construction site to relax. Zhu Laosi now especially liked to wander around the construction site. Whenever he saw any changes on the construction site, Zhu Laosi would be happy from the bottom of his heart.

After arriving at the construction site, Zhu Laosi inexplicably thought of the fallacy that Yang Shaofeng, a bastard, said to Zhu Zhanji that tribute was full of pitfalls, and what this bastard did in the border city.

Zhu Laosi thought Yang Shaofeng was much better than the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites. Anyway, the Tatars and Oirat that they could not handle were dealt with by Yang Shaofeng. Why would you rather ask this bastard for the Japanese pirates this time?

Then Yang Shaofeng thought of the famous "Records of Xuan Zu of Korea" about Xuan Zu Li's filial son and rebellious son, "Chinese parents are both foreign countries, like sons, and to say that their parents are filial sons in my country and Japanese thieves."

Thinking about the countless unjust souls in Nanjing and the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Yang Shaofeng thought about it and said, "Otherwise, they will be killed? As the saying goes, far away barbarians should be threatened with punishment. Emperor Taizu Gao also said that if there are barbaric countries overseas, those who are suffering from China must be challenged.

As the saying goes, the caliber of the artillery is justice, and the range is truth. My grandson thinks it is better to take these dozens of Japanese pirates to sacrifice flags first, and then build a few more warships to go to Japan to shoot a few cannons. Then they will come to pay tribute obediently."

After thinking about it, Yang Shaofeng was afraid that this statement would not be enough to impress Zhu Laosi, so he pointed to the direction of the border city and whispered: "The Tatars and the Oirat are no longer a problem. If the friendship is balanced, how can we leave alone in Japan? If we judge the father and son, then North Korea can be called a filial son, and Japan will be a rebellious son, and it is not enough to be beaten to death!"

Zhu Laosi glared at Yang Shaofeng and said angrily: "Bastard! What did I tell you in the past? Don't always think about fighting and killing, why can't you remember it if you don't remember it?

Don’t forget that the construction site in the border city has not been completely completed, and the Jiaozhi has not been completely pacified. Let’s look at this construction site. Two hundred thousand young men work day and night, ten million treasure money, and mountains of stone and huge trees. These things are not troublesome enough?”

Yang Shaofeng's eyes turned, he chuckled, then leaned over to Zhu Laosi with a terrible heart and said with a smile: "Why don't you do this? You can hand over those dozens of Japanese slaves to your grandson to deal with it, so that you will not spend a cent on the national treasury and will not cause any quarrel."

Zhu Laosi looked at Yang Shaofeng with his eyes slanted and mocked: "Do you guys want to get them to be laborers? If not, the Japanese pirates are unruly and hard to be disciplined. Most of them are not familiar with others. How can you feel at ease when using them on the construction site?"

Yang Shaofeng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, since my grandson dares to say it, he dares to issue a military order. As long as you lend the imperial prison under Wuxin and Ji Gang to your grandson for a few days, you will ensure that there will be no problems."

Zhu Laosi said, "Then let's make up that. All the forty-three Japanese slaves belong to you. If you have any questions, go find Wuxin and Ji Gang yourself. Just don't let Mr. Xia get upset again."

Yang Shaofeng nodded vigorously and promised: "Don't worry, grandson will definitely do the work properly. Even if Mr. Xia tries to the point of having a headache, grandson will guarantee that he will not bother you."

After receiving Zhu Laosi's promise, Yang Shaofeng immediately asked Wu Ming to bring the forty-three Japanese slaves to the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei. After finishing the work on the construction site that day, Yang Shaofeng took Wu Ming and Wu Xin to the imperial prison together.

Unlike the extremely gloomy prison image in film and television dramas, the Jinyiwei Zhaozhuo on the surface is actually very clean and tidy. After all, it is used to detain officials who have committed crimes, so you still have to do some tricks on the surface.

As for what is really covered with torture instruments and bloody atmosphere, it is actually still in the innermost torture room of the Jinyiwei Zhaozhu. Usually, the officials do not even have the qualifications to enter.

Yang Shaofeng swayed into the innermost torture room, and then sat on the chair brought by the Jinyiwei lieutenant with a golden knife, looking at the brothers of Zheng Ge Cheng Erlang and Zheng Ge Cheng Wulang who had been tied to a wooden stake and had been tortured once.

Two whistles, two buckets of cold water poured on their heads. The brothers Zheng Ge Cheng Erlang and Zheng Ge Cheng Wulang, who had been beaten to the point of being half-dilded, woke up slowly, and coughed from time to time.

Yang Shaofeng smiled and said, "Can you understand human words?"

“あなたはですか?何をしますか?”

Yang Shaofeng laughed and ordered Wu Ming directly: "I can't even speak humanly, just beat me to death, and let two people talk humanly."

"No! No! We can speak Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing that Yang Shaofeng's handling was so simple and crude, and he didn't even mean to interrogate, Zheng Ge Cheng Erlang and Zheng Ge Cheng Wulang were anxious and didn't care about pretending that there was no Ming Dynasty Mandarin language, but shouted directly in Chinese.

Yang Shaofeng then smiled and said, "You can speak human language? That's good. Let me introduce myself first. My official Yang Shaofeng, Hanlin Academy's Attendance to Hanlin, and the Capital Construction Sect. He was appointed by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to deal with the affairs of you.

Let me explain to you first, I am a gentleman and always talkative. I am very soft-hearted in my daily life. I am very particular about being kind to others and not like killing people easily. Therefore, as long as you cooperate well, it will naturally be you and I and everyone. Otherwise, the eunuch around me is not a good person."

When he heard Yang Shaofeng say this, Wu Xin, who was cursing in his heart, suddenly smiled sinisterly at the brothers Cheng Erlang and Wulang, saying that he was indeed not a good person.

Zheng Ge Cheng Erlang also cursed wildly in his heart, but he did not dare to curse. He could only nod his head wildly with Zheng Ge Cheng Wulang, and then shouted: "Yes, the villain has heard that Shangguan loves the people as much as his son, and he has also heard that Shangguan is a kind-hearted and kind-hearted man. The villain is willing to set up a temple for Shangguan and worship day and night!"

Yang Shaofeng nodded and laughed: "Very good, I like smart people like you. Now I have a question to ask you, do you want to die or live?

If you want to die, it is very simple. I heard that the Jinyiwei Zhaozhuo has tormenting tricks. One is used a day, and it will not bring you a whole year of repeated use, and it can also ensure that you can leave a breath.

If you don’t intend to enjoy the tricks in the Jinyiwei Prison, the unintentional eunuch beside me is also a good person. He knows more ways to ensure that you can survive and die, and then be obedient.

Look, I have shown you two clear paths, and now it depends on how you choose. You say, are I very kind-hearted?"

Zheng Ge Cheng Erlang shouted: "Yes! The adult is kind-hearted! The adult is a living Bodhisattva of the Buddhas of all families! The villain is willing to cooperate! The villain wants to live! He wants to live!"

Yang Shaofeng took a stack of white papers full of words from Wu Ming's hand, and smiled and said to Zheng Ge Chengerlang: "If you want to live, it's actually not difficult.

Look, here is the confession prepared by this official for you. As long as you write your name on it, and then sign and seal it, you can survive.

Moreover, I can guarantee you that you can not only survive, but also live a good life, and even have a lot of money to make. Maybe you can become Daming Guan Bai and the like in the future, and from then on, you will reach the peak of your life."

Zheng Ge Cheng Erlang shouted: "The villain is willing to write a picture, but the villain wants to live! He wants to live!"

Yang Shaofeng waved his hand and ordered Wu Ming: "Let him down and let him sign and seal it."

Wu Ming nodded, first moved a table, put a confession, ink and ink on the table, and then walked to Zheng Ge Cheng Erlang, untied the rope that tied Zheng Ge Cheng Erlang, reached out and pointed to the table, and signaled Zheng Ge Cheng Erlang to go over and sign and write.

Zhengge Cheng Erlang endured the pain on his body, slowly moved to the table, picked up the so-called confession and glanced at Yang Shaofeng, and cursed: "ばかやろう!"
