At the same time as Xue Tingxiang and Geng Ronghai were talking, a boat was sailing on the sea of Luanjiaoyang.
This boat has a square head and a square tail. At first glance, it looks like a sand boat, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like it, and it looks weird. It traveled very fast before, but it gradually slowed down when it reached this sea area. If there were people on the sea, it would be found that the ship was injured.
There was a huge hole on the right side of the ship. Fortunately, it was above the horizontal line, otherwise the designation would have sunk long ago.
At this moment, there was a dark-skinned man in class A in the bow of the boat, dressed in short brown with burrs. He was black, thin and short, his hair was a little yellow, and he didn't seem to be a good person.
His face is a little ugly, if you know that he is the leader who led the team out this time, I am afraid you can understand why his face is so ugly.
"Why has the speed slowed down? If you are caught up by the warships behind, you all have to go to the sea to feed the fish!" Xie Rong said in exasperation.
A man also dressed in short brown cloth hurried up, wiped his sweat and said, "Boss, the brothers are all very tired, so I let them rest. We have now entered Luanjiaoyang, Shuangyu Island. Those people's boats dare not come in."
Chaojiaoyang is a small area of sea where the two seas in the southeast meet. There are many small uninhabited islands, ranging from only a few feet in size to only a few miles in size. , so it is called Chaotic Reef Ocean. People who are not familiar with the terrain dare not come here at all, so this person would say that.
"Has entered the Chaojiao Ocean?" Xie Rong asked, after seeing the situation on the sea, he was immediately relieved.
But before the breath was finished, it turned to swearing: "These official thieves are so fucking hard to deal with, they even chased us for so long, and they broke the boat of the old men."
As long as the thought of the cannonball hit just now, Xie Rong was in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the boat was light and fast, so he touched the side of the boat. If they went a little further, their crew had designated all the fish to be fed.
Mentioning this, the man named Kuanzi was also full of frustration: "After we go back, Yaoye will definitely not be able to spare us."
This is also the reason why Xie Rong's face is ugly. They were originally here to explore the way. He was the one who attacked Shuangyu Island without authorization and wanted to take credit in front of Yaoye. No matter how you go back, you will be reprimanded, and you will be embarrassed in front of the brothers.
"What do you say now, the matter has already happened, and if there is anything, I will go back and take care of it."
Kuanzi is also a man of loyalty, so he said: "Of course we can't let the boss carry it alone, there are so many brothers." After a pause, Kuanzi said again: "Boss, tell me, the big dragon will not let us provoke the court. People, let's sneak out this time, if the big dragon finds out after we go back—"
"Are you listening to that mother-in-law, or the hall master?"
"This—" Lu Zi wanted to say that both the big dragon head and the hall master wanted to hear it, but looking at Xie Rong's face, he naturally didn't dare to say so, and he could only say one sentence that he must listen to the hall master.
"Since it's listening to the hall master, that's fine, how can there be so many things."
While speaking, the ship has entered a harbor on a small island.
This harbour is very hidden, the whole is crescent-shaped, and there are several small islands on the outside to cover it. It was not until we entered this harbour that I found that there were many ships parked here. There were five or six ships in total, and the most striking one was one of the medium-sized warships.
Xie Rong and others hurried to the island, and the fact that Xie Rong and others went out privately and the ship was broken was naturally reported to the young master.
Yao Ye is the one who led the team out this time. He is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a pair of hanging eyes and a mustache. The Red Gang is the most disciplined, so Xie Rong and others were beaten a few times.
After the whipping, the situation on Shuangyu Island was also known. Hearing that the local guards had strong ships and cannons, Yao Ye's face was a little bad.
He hesitated for a moment, and then sent someone to leave the island. It seemed that he was going back to report the letter.
By the time Xue Tingxiang returned from Shuangyu Island, it was already dark.
Zhao'er had just eaten with the second sister and the two children. Seeing that he came back from outside, his body was cold, so he hurriedly ordered someone to boil hot water for him to bathe, and then let someone cook some food to bring him over.
Xue Tingxiang took a hot bath and came out, much better than before. When dinner was served, he sat down at the table and ate a simple three dishes and one soup.
"Did something happen?"
"It's nothing, it's just that some pirates from nowhere attacked the island."
Don't look at Xue Tingxiang's understatement, but Zhao'er didn't believe him and asked, "Are there many injured people? I heard Xiaohong say that the medicine in the county's pharmacy was sold out by Shibosi."
"There are a lot of people injured, but it's not fatal, it's all trauma."
Zhao'er sighed and said, "This year is not over yet, so why not stop."
Killing people still have time? Those people must have come for Shibosi, but Shibosi is on the shore, and there are people patrolling the port all the time.
"Okay, don't worry about this, it's useless to think too much, just wait and see."
Zhao'er nodded, and after Xue Tingxiang finished eating, the two stopped.
Since this day, Xue Tingxiang has been busy again.
Not only was he busy, but Chen Qianhu and Geng Ronghai were not idle either. They thought that no one would be so ignorant during Chinese New Year, but who would have thought that they would come at this time.
Recently, there have been warships patrolling the vicinity of Shuangyu Bay and the surrounding waters every day, and more than one warship can often be seen on a piece of sea.
It seems that they are afraid of the strict preparation here, and there has never been any attack. After that chaos, Shuangyu Island has returned to the previous scene of heat.
Hurry up and hurry, and finally at the beginning of March, Shuangyu Island was finally built.
There must be some areas that are not perfect, but at least you can use it first, and then fill in the rest slowly.
As early as the New Year's Day, the Shibo Division was busy here, and this time it was busy approving the merchants stationed in Shuangyu Island.
The news has already been released. This time, unlike the last time, there were still people who wanted to take a look at the news. Last year, the companies that made a lot of money through the Shibo Division started to flock here.
There are more monks and less porridge, so naturally the Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers.
The Shibo Division was crowded through the threshold, and people from the Xue Mansion came to visit every day. At this time, Xue Tingxiang closed the door and disappeared. Xue Tiju could not be found, and everyone from Xie San to Bao Yixing and others was besieged and complained.
It is worth mentioning that the Xie family, Xie San was deprived of power through the Dinghai affair. Almost no one in the Xie family didn't watch the joke, and seeing Xie San actually gave up on himself to go to Dinghai, they all thought that the Xie family's day was going to change this time.
But in just over a year, Dinghai opened a shipping company, and Xie San also changed from a businessman to an official. It's not that the Xie family has not been an official, and an official the size of a sesame is not uncommon, but the deputy of the Shibo Division's promotion of such an official of the size of a sesame makes many people rare.
As soon as this incident came out, many people around Zhejiang laughed at the Xie family, saying that the Xie family lost the watermelon and picked sesame seeds.
You read as long as you read, and you have been reading for many years anyway. Even if you don't read a name, it's better than someone who doesn't know what to do. Since Xie San left Xie's house, Xie's family has made frequent moves, and how much business has been robbed.
Now Xie San has become a deputy promotion. Although he didn't suppress the Xie family, he didn't help. How many people got cheap from Xie San, but the family couldn't get it.
This time, the owner of the Xie family was in a hurry, obviously lying on the couch unable to move, and sent people to find Xie San repeatedly.
Xie San also dealt with it calmly. In fact, the whole thing was nothing more than killing the donkey. When the old family owner could still be the master of the house, he would naturally not be afraid of his side branch. But the old patriarch couldn't move, and he was naturally afraid of being squeezed out of the patriarch's position by a side branch, which was why he made a fuss and seized Xie San's power.
It seems that it was a stupid thing done by the son, but in fact, if I didn't participate in it, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
Now there is a lot of discussion inside the Xie family. Although the head of the Xie family is in front of the entire Xie family, the Xie family is not only the head of the family. .
This time Shibosi plans to open a business town on Shuangyu Island. The Xie family has already fallen out over this matter, and even someone in the clan has suggested that the business of the Xie family should be handed over to Xie San, following his heart. Tone, but Xie San's shelf is very high at the moment, and now people don't care about it.
"You're not afraid of offending people at this moment." Zhao'er teased Xue Tingxiang with a smile.
At this time, Xue Tingxiang was lying on the rocking chair like the eldest man, with a small table by his hand. On the table were snacks such as tea, dried fruits, cakes, and a few account books and books.
The rocking chair swayed gently, this is how the days of Mr. Xue came recently.
Of course, there must be more than that. Xue Tingxiang's reputation is to teach children to study at home, so he must instruct Honger and Brother Wei on their homework.
These two children are both talented and intelligent, and now they have started to learn "Dragon Whip Shadow".
"What am I afraid of offending? If I don't want to offend this, I offend that, so it's better not to show up." Xue Tingxiang said lazily.
"I'm afraid it's difficult for the third master Xie. I heard that Xie's family has been looking for him recently, and those people outside..."
Just as she was talking, Xiaohong walked in from the outside and said something to Zhao'er.
Zhao'er put down the needlework in his hand and walked out.
Gao Sheng was standing under a corridor, and when he saw Zhao'er, he said, "Sister Zhao'er, where is the Qian family's silk shop..."
Zhao'erwei: "I can't go now, you should talk to them about this first. You see, the family is so big now, and everyone is busy, and there are people watching on Shuangyu Island."
Gao Sheng nodded: "Well, I'll go talk to them first." Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly paused and turned to look at Zhao'er: "Sister Zhao'er, does he not want you to go out?"
