The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

"Brother Zheng, you go inside and hide first, and we'll deal with the pirates. Don't come out!" businessman

Shi Jinqing sent someone to send Zheng Hai into the cabin.

Zheng Hai followed the crew into the cabin slowly, and the voice of the white-robed boy came from behind him.

"Dad, are the pirates here to arrest him?"

"Master, he must have lured the pirates here!" A housekeeper of the Shi family pointed at Zheng Hai: "Master, we should hand him over, so that the pirates may not embarrass us."

Zheng Hai stared at the butler, the man was a thief, and he didn't look like a good person.

"Shut up, you all shut up! If I, Shi Jinqing, are so treacherous, what's the difference between me and a pirate!" Shi Jinqing

inspected the housekeeper and glared at the white-robed boy at the same time: "You remember, as businessmen, what we value most is integrity. The pirates are just for some money, it's a big deal that we give them all the money and belongings!"

"Master, what if the pirates want more than that?"

Shi Jinqing explained to the butler: "Steward Chen, don't worry! You come to Daming with me for the first time, maybe you don't understand." I have some contact with the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, and they can only rob money, unlike the Japanese and Chen Zuyi, who kill people and set fires.

Shi Jinqing comforted everyone, "Everyone cooperate with me, and when the pirates get on the ship, don't clash with them." "

Dad, if they dare to be rude, we will fight with them!" The white-robed boy held a scimitar in his hand, staring at the approaching pirate ship.

"Master, Childe is right, if the pirates want to do it, we will fight with them!"

Shi Jinqing said: "Everyone calm down, let's see what the pirates say first." Don't clash with pirates, saving your life is the most important thing!" Zheng

Hai followed the servants of the Shi family into the cabin and hid in the lower cargo hold.

There were not many goods in the hold, grain, vegetables and cloth were stored in the hold, and there was only a small amount of cargo, some porcelain and tea.

Looking at these goods, Zheng Hai no longer doubted Shi Jinqing's identity.

Merchants of the Ming Dynasty rarely sold porcelain and tea, as the imperial court had banned private overseas trade, and it was impossible to store such goods on ships that could only be sold through ocean-going trade.

Of course, smugglers who traded with Japan or the South Seas also sold porcelain and tea. However, there was very little cargo on this ship, and it was clear that smugglers could not have stored such a small amount of cargo.

Zheng Hai had not been in the cargo hold for long when he heard the sound of footsteps and many people coming down from the upper deck.

"You go and check if there is anyone hiding in the cabin, and the helper orders that all the crew be gathered on deck.

"Yes!"The second master, the little ones will drive everyone up

!""You guys go over there!You two go to the cargo hold!"

Listening to the noise of the commotion, Zheng Hai knew that this was a pirate searching for people.

He untied the hair tied around his head, loosened it, and wiped a few handfuls of dust on his face to make himself look more depressed and unrecognizable by pirates.

Whether these pirates were the same pirates from last time, whether they came to arrest him, Zheng Hai didn't know. So he tried to disguise himself so that he wouldn't be recognized by the pirates.

Zheng Hai sighed in his heart: I originally came to suppress pirates, but I was so embarrassed by pirates

"Boss, find a person in the cargo hold, it seems that he is hiding in the cargo hold to steal something!" the two pirates escorted Zheng Hai and prayed to the leading pirate leader.

The pirate leader just glanced at Zheng Hai and said, "Escort him to the deck." "

On the deck, the crew of the Shi family's merchant ship was gathered, and the pirates surrounded them in the middle with waist knives.

Shi Jinqing and the white-robed son were held alone, and a sturdy man was looking at Shi Jinqing and the Shi family's son.

The sturdy man is barefoot, wearing shorts on his lower body, small leather armor on his upper body, bare arms, a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is somewhat similar to the Jiangyang thief Xiang Batian that Zheng Hai killed before.

The barefoot bearded man was accompanied by several retinues, including one with a bald head. Zheng Hai once saw this bald head in the tea shed, his name is Li Er, and he is the second leader of the Sky Eagle Gang.

"Back to the big boss and the second boss, the people in the cabin have all come out. A small leader of the pirates, pointing to Zheng Hai with unkempt hair, said to the bearded man and the bald head: "This kid is the deepest hidden, hiding in the cargo hold, and he was also found out by the brothers. "

Okay!" The bearded man waved his hand and said loudly: "Escort him over!" Shi

Jinqing saw that Zheng Hai was also searched by the pirates, sighed softly, and said to the pirate leader, the bearded man: "This big boss, you can take the money and goods as you like, please don't hurt the people on our ship." I also hope that the big boss will open up and let us live.

The bearded man stared at Shi Jinqing, laughed and said, "Everything on the ship

is ours, even you are ours! We want them all!Hahahaha!" Li Guangtou, the second leader of the Sky Eagle Gang, echoed loudly: "Big brother is right! All these things are ours! Brothers, do you say?"

"Yes!" The pirates responded loudly and laughed.

The bearded man stared at Shi Jinqing, nodded, and asked, "You are

Shi Jinqing, Mr. Shi?" "It's Shi Jinqing below, and the big boss recognizes him?" Shi Jinqing, who had a vicissitudes of life, was a little puzzled.

The bearded man replied, "I didn't know you before, but now I know you." You are indeed as you said in the letter, with a face of vicissitudes, Mr. Shi is very old!Hahahaha!" Shi

Jinqing looked at the bearded man with a confused expression.

Li Guangtou stepped forward and explained: "This is the leader of our Sky Eagle Gang, known as Xiang Xiaotian. Mr. Shi, you should have heard of it

!" "It turned out to be the sea overlord in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, and he admired the big boss for a long time!" Shi Jinqing hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted.

"Hahahaha! Mr. Shi, you are too polite!" The bearded man stretched out his hand to Shi Jinqing to help Xiao Tian, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Shi is the military advisor of the King of the Three Buddhas, brave and strategic, and when I see it today, it is true!" "

Xiang Da Boss, I actually know the Three Buddhas! The big boss is well-informed, which makes Shi Mou admire!"

Xiang Xiaotian ignored Shi Jinqing, and instead stared at the white-robed boy beside Shi Jinqing, looking at the white-robed boy from top to bottom.

Shi Jinqing hurriedly introduced: "Big boss, this is Shi Mou's dog, named Shi Jisun. Jisun, hurry up and meet the big

boss!" "Mr. Shi, this is your daughter, right

?" Shi Jinqing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Big boss, why

do you say this?" The bearded man Xiang Xiaotian still stared at the white-robed son, and a lewd smile appeared on his face: "Is it a man or a woman, let me check it?" What do you say, the son of the Shi family?"

"You dare!" The white-robed boy pulled out the scimitar on his waist.

"Hahahaha!Then let me teach the Shi family and the son's knife skills!" Xiang Xiaotian was not angry but happy, and said with a proud face: "If you lose, you want me to check it well!"

The pirates on the ship laughed and laughed.
