Chapter 924: They are all doing errands for the emperor (fourth update)

In the back hall of the Fujian Navy Yamen, Zheng Zhilong had a serious face and listened to his men's report. A total of five groups of people came ashore. This number was a bit too much, which made his face look very ugly, and he lost his mood for joking. Liu Jinsheng beside him, on the other hand, looked more relaxed than him. He seemed to be a little gloating about others' misfortunes, but he didn't show it.

As time went by, subordinates came back one after another to report the results of the tracking. Some people went to the shore to say goodbye to their families, and soon returned to the naval station; while some people went to the land of fireworks, went crazy and returned to the naval station. Others went to the Mazu Empress Temple and returned to the Navy Station not long after. Even Zhong Bin, whom Zheng Zhilong was most concerned about, returned to the Navy Station not long after.

But what makes Zheng Zhilong a little worried is that the men who followed Zhong Bin have not returned yet.

Whether these five groups of people actually went to the shore was as they appeared on the surface. This is not entirely certain. But along the way, the person following Zhong Bin hadn't come back yet, so something might have happened.

Zheng Zhilong waited patiently for a long time. Seeing that it was already long past afternoon, he finally couldn't sit still.

"Needless to say, there must be something wrong with those who eat things inside and outside, just arrest them!" Seeing this, Liu Jinsheng said unceremoniously, "99% of you have died in his hands!"

Zheng Zhilong felt the same way in his heart, feeling that his men were already in danger. But there was no evidence at the moment, so it was impossible for him to use this reason to arrest Zhong Bin. Otherwise, I don’t know what the other brothers with him would think if they knew about it?

what to do? He was thinking in his mind, but he had no good solution for the moment, so he was pacing back and forth thinking about it.

Liu Jinsheng beside him looked at Zheng Zhilong, who had always been calm and calm, but now he was not calm. He didn't know why, but he was very happy. He just looked at Zheng Zhilong, staring at his face, reluctant to blink.

After a while, Liu Jinsheng finally got a little impatient and said, "Don't hesitate. Just arrest him and interrogate him. If your men don't have the ability, I can help with interrogating people." , I’m the best! You’d better think more about going on the expedition tomorrow!”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he stood up and shook his head and said: "I don't know if those in the navy are unreliable and cannot go on expeditions!"

In fact, there was another reason why he didn't say anything, that is, his informant on Liu Xiang's side never passed on the news, which made him feel a little unsure. Now that there are five more groups of people in the Navy who need to be suspected and investigated, it is even more impossible to go on an expedition. Anyway, there are still some days before the time limit given in Lord Zhongcheng’s order expires.

After hearing this, Liu Jinsheng was about to laugh at Zheng Zhilong's military orders, which were changed day and night, when suddenly a subordinate came in. When he looked up, if he wasn't staring at Zhong Bin, who else could he be?

At this time, Zheng Zhilong seemed a little angry. Before the man could speak, he asked, "Why did you come back?"

The man looked at Liu Jinsheng who was present, and then replied: "Sir, I have something important to report to you alone."

The implication was that Liu Jinsheng was asked to go out and he didn't want him to listen.

When Liu Jinsheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw Zheng Zhilong wave his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, there is no need to hide anything from Brother Liu. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Liu Jinsheng was the person sent by Emperor Chongzhen to be by his side, and his purpose was very obvious, which was to supervise. If you avoid him to discuss things, even if nothing happens, something will happen. Zheng Zhilong will not do this.

After hearing this, the man hesitated for a while and then respectfully said: "Sir, Mr. Dongchangchang has invited me!"

"What, who?" Liu Jinsheng was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help asking.

Zheng Zhilong was naturally surprised, and then confirmed: "You said Mr. Dongchang is here?"

"Yes, sir, please come and see me secretly." The man nodded solemnly, or maybe because he was afraid of misunderstanding, he added, "Dongchang has mastered all the inside information, including that of Zhong Bin and Liu Xiang."

It was confirmed that it was the boss of Dongchang who summoned him, but Zheng Zhilong didn't have the courage to refuse. What's more, this confidant said that he had important news. Therefore, he glanced at Liu Jinsheng and said, "Are you going?"

Liu Jinsheng is a member of Jinyiwei, not a subordinate of Dongchang. Dongchang and Jinyiwei can be said to be competitors, so he asked such a question.

When Liu Jinsheng heard this, he said without hesitation: "Go, of course. Who knows if we really have to go see Mr. Dongchang!"

So, a few of them went ashore secretly, and his men reported what happened and led the way to see Wang Chengen.

When he saw Wang Chengen, Zheng Zhilong immediately paid homage and expressed his thanks. His attitude made young Wang Chengen very happy.

So, he told Zheng Zhilong all the information he had. When he said that Liu Xiang had summoned all the pirates he could muster, and his strength was almost twice that of this side, he was a little surprised. This was more than he expected. Then he realized that during the year when he was not in Fujian, it seemed that Liu Xiang had been struggling more, and his original prestige had weakened a lot. But even so, he didn't think anything of it. Having more troops does not mean stronger combat power. At least those who were involved in the sea, he understood and was sure of it.

The Dongchang stallman who was narrating next to Wang Chengen went on to say that when Hongyi also led all the fleets to rendezvous, waiting for Zheng Zhilong to throw himself into the trap, his face became a little surprised. He wouldn't be too worried if it was just the Ming pirates, or if it was just dealing with the Hongyi fleet. But once these two forces unite, it will be difficult!

Fortunately, they already know Liu Xiang's side well, at least they won't be fooled by Liu Xiang's side. After the information from Dongchang was released, Zheng Zhilong clasped his fists very solemnly and said to Wang Chengen very sincerely: "Thank you very much, Mr. Factory, for your help. I will be grateful!"

Wang Chengen was relieved after hearing this, but on the surface he waved his hand and said: "They are all doing errands for the emperor, so there is no need to thank you. Remember, as long as you contribute to the emperor, our family will naturally help you!" "

"The military situation is urgent. The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. The general will have to rush back to arrest Zhong Bin and rearrange the war." After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong kept it in mind and said quickly, "If the factory owner is still in the south, we will wait until this war is over." Now, we must let the general do his best!"

When he said this, he was not afraid of Liu Jinsheng being around. This was what he meant, and I believe the emperor would not care.

After hearing this, Wang Chengen smiled and said: "You said that we are outnumbered, but that is not necessarily true! When our family reported these things to the emperor before, the emperor revealed a piece of news!"
