The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 1039
[Chapter 1039: Ask the elders for an explanation]
Everyone left the hall and returned to their own ships.
However, on a certain ship, several people gathered together.
Yes, they were the three people who talked the most at the round table.
A charming, loyal man and a fair-faced young man.
The white-faced young man spoke first: “This woman must know something. We can’t wait any longer. If you want me to see it, do it now and kill this guy directly!”
“Haha, that’s easy to say. If this woman is so easy to deal with, Can she still occupy this island?”
Hu Mei glanced at the white-faced young man, rolled her eyes, and said angrily.
“Then what do you think we should do? Sit back and wait for her to come to us?” The white-faced young man’s temper also rose, he glared at Hu Mei and said angrily.
The loyal man next to him heard the two of them arguing, waved his hand, and said: “Okay, okay, don’t argue. No matter how powerful she is, she is only one person. Let her occupy the island in the first place. It’s just because everyone doesn’t We are willing to contribute, for fear that our strength will be weakened. But this
time
is different. The three of us are grasshoppers tied to a rope. If something happens, no one can run away!
Everyone has to do their best!
I won’t tell you these words, but you should know it in your own heart. What I want to say is the conflict between Scarface
and Pooh. I didn’t expect it, but it’s also very important. Normally, he has a hot temper and doesn’t do anything without thinking about it first.
We can join forces with him. “
“Huh” Hu Mei rolled her eyes again and said, “What the hell is Scarface? I’m better than you. Obviously, he is just a backstabber. If he is really included, we will probably be the only ones left after Winnie is killed.”
“Xiaobai, what do you say?” The honest man glanced at the white-faced man.
The white-faced young master glared at him and said angrily: “Call me Mr. Bai!”
“Okay, okay, Mr. Bai, what do you say?”
The loyal man waved his hand.
The white-faced young master thought for a while and said: “Scarface is indeed a person who stabs people in the back. There can’t be too many people involved in this matter. If there are too many people, there will be problems.
No one is willing to contribute because they are afraid that others are behind it .
The stabbing ended up being the same as last time.
The three of us were just right, and we didn’t have any worries when we did it.”
The honest man nodded and said, “It makes sense.”
After that, he looked at Hu Mei.
Hu Mei glanced at him and said leisurely: “Don’t look at me. I’ve told you before that the guy with the scar face can’t be trusted.”
“Okay!” The loyal man nodded and said, “In that case, it’s settled. , Let’s meet here in three days!”
“It’s a deal!”
“It’s a deal!”
Yamen, Jinzhou Prefecture.
The prefect of Jinzhou looked at the letter in front of him with a very ugly expression.
This letter was sent by the imperial court. It was not a formal document, but to some extent it explained the imperial court’s attitude.
Now that there is a problem in Nanyang, the shipping route is unworkable.
If the barbarians from the west are not rejected for a day, there will be no need to deal with those pirates.
Therefore, the imperial court did not want to care about the pirates in Jinzhou Prefecture at all.
It’s a waste of money and energy, and in the end it doesn’t do any good.
Not many people are willing to do such a loss-making business.
During this period, due to pirates.
Zhou Chen almost lived in the Yamen, and often discussed with the Jinzhou magistrate how to deal with the pirates.
At this moment, seeing the expression on the magistrate’s face, he already had a guess in his mind.
After hesitating for a while, he still asked: “Master Magistrate, what did the court say?”
The Magistrate of Jinzhou glanced at him, shook his head and sighed: “Hey silver, silver, after all, it is still just silver. If nothing happens in Nanyang, , our Jinzhou port is still the original Jinzhou port, how could the imperial court turn a blind eye?”
There is no direct answer, but it is equivalent to a positive answer.
The court doesn’t want to care about this matter!
When Zhou Chen heard this, the last bit of hope in his heart was shattered.
Decadently said: “During this period, Beizhi didn’t dare to go to Jinzhou port. He always met some common people and asked Beizhi when he would destroy the pirates and when he would avenge the Jinzhou Guards.
After hearing this, Beizhi had mixed feelings in his heart. , but he didn’t know what to say, so he just used quick excuses every time, but now…”
At this point, his eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn’t speak for a while.
The prefect of Jinzhou felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.
There is nothing more sad than this.
The people trust you, but you can’t help them.
The two of them stood there with dejected faces.
I don’t know how long it took, but the prefect of Jinzhou seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: “Jinzhou Prefecture is the state capital of the imperial court, and the people of Jinzhou are the common people of the imperial court.
Just because there is no money, the imperial court Just ignore it, in this case, this magistrate is not right! I am determined to go to Kyoto Prefecture to ask the elders for an explanation. If the elders just try to get rid of me, I will resign and return to my hometown. From now on, Don’t care about world affairs!”
Zhou Chen was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly tried to dissuade him: “Sir, this matter is not trivial. Don’t be arrogant!
You are the only one we have in Jinzhou Prefecture. If you leave, Jinzhou will be in trouble. What should the people of the government do!”
Jinzhou Prefecture has been able to gradually get on the right track in recent years. Half of the credit is attributed to An Guogong’s various measures, and most of the remaining half of the credit is due to the prefect.
Without the prefect, Jinzhou Prefecture would still be as poor as before.
The kind that the whole family only has one pair of pants to wear.
Although today’s Jinzhou Prefecture is far behind Jiangnan Province, it is much better than the former Jinzhou Prefecture and even other prefectures in the Gyeonggi region.
If the prefect disappears again, the people of Jinzhou Prefecture will really have no hope!
When the prefect of Jinzhou heard these words, he showed hesitation on his face.
Obviously, he was also struggling internally.
Time passed by, and I don’t know how long it took. The prefect of Jinzhou finally made up his mind: “I have made up my mind. Without the help of the imperial court, Jinzhou Prefecture will only become more and more in decline. This time, Kyoto Prefecture, I must go!
If I go, there is still a way out of Jinzhou Prefecture. If I don’t go, there will be no way out!
Therefore, I must go!”
When Zhou Chen heard this, he looked anxious and opened his mouth. , I still want to persuade him again.
At this time, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Then an equally urgent voice was heard coming from outside the door.
“My lord, my lord! Something big has happened!”
