"Your Majesty, I lost three gold coins to your new ship!" Hong Tao did not let Luo Meizhou, Hong Yu and Wen Xiaoqi join the ship. They shouldn't know about these things now.

"You two have bet on my boat? Have you won? Well, the management fee for paying a gold coin is not much, right?" Hong Tao stretched out his hand, took the gold coin handed over by the charity, and put it in his mouth and bit it. He was not afraid of being dirty, so he put it in his pocket.

"Depending on how you two look, things must be done. There is no illegality in the arrest process, right?" After putting away the gold coins, Emperor Hong began to talk about the serious matters.

"I promise it is completely legal! All the process is carried out under the supervision of Marine Corps officers and soldiers, and it is still a person who has been captured! The people from the Interior Bureau and the Marine Corps have asked briefly, and Weng Xiaoyi has also asked them all, and the Marine Corps and his nephew testified. This matter is a foregone conclusion. Who dares not admit it? The Marine Corps and I will never agree! They not only cheat the country, but also joke about the lives of our Marine Brothers." Langya was not completely convinced by Ciqi. He still wanted Hong Tao to come forward because he really couldn't figure out why Ciqi had to take the blame for the sake of the country and the law? Even if the procedures were a bit illegal, it was understandable.

"Your Majesty, you should take Xiao Yu and America to continue testing the new ship. This matter is handled by the Interior Bureau. You have to report to the Supervision Department and the government first..." Ciqi was very moved. Even if a gold coin was stolen, he did not hate Hong Tao. At this time, the emperor dared to come over, which means that he didn't really want to take the blame with himself, but he had no choice.

"Langya, doing your job well is the highest loyalty to the country. Don't interfere with other people's work, and don't use the troops in your hands as bargaining chips. I want to chat with Director Ci, and you take the others to the deck first." Hong Tao pretended that he didn't hear Ciqi's warning, and asked Langya to clear the front deck.

No one heard what Hong Tao and Ciqi said on the front deck. Ciqi seemed a little excited. She wanted to kneel down and beg the emperor several times, but she didn't kneel down. He was not as strong as Hong Tao. The two of them muttered for a while and argued fiercely for a while. It took half an hour before the conversation ended.

Hong Tao's face did not change much. He still smiled and greeted the sailors. The Marines greeted everyone, and then got off the boat and drove away on the Americas. Ciqi was frowning. He squatted alone on the deck of the bow of the boat, sucking his life with a cigar in his mouth, and no one paid attention to it.

The American ship was quick and arrived in Jinhe City in advance. After getting off the boat, Hong Tao went directly to a large courtyard near the river in the east of the city. This was the Weng family's house. Since there were many wives in the Weng family and it was not convenient to welcome and see him off, this house was built outside the city.

The three old ladies of the Weng family were a little older than Mo Fu, but they were quite tough and often drove small boats to cast nets by the Jin River. According to their words, this is not to forget their roots. The Dan family has been fishing for generations and is rich now and does not have to eat with the sea, but the lives of their ancestors cannot be forgotten. Of course, this is just the idea of ​​the three old ladies. The next generation and the next generation do not value these. They just took turns to accompany them to suffer in order to make the old ladies happy.

The Weng family has two seedlings in a thousand hectares of land. There are only two real relatives and great-grandsons. One of them is Weng Ya's cousin named Weng Shu, but he has not had children after more than two years of marriage. The other is Weng Xiaowu's son who was killed by the mast of the Haibo. He was only a few months old at that time and just graduated from the Navigation School last year. Like his father, Weng Ping'an also joined the Royal Navy and became a navigator. In order to give the Weng family a few more descendants, the young man got engaged since he was fourteen years old, and the other was a girl from the Weng family. After the coming-of-age ceremony, the couple was forced to get married immediately by the three old ladies of the Weng family. Now Weng Ping'an's wife is pregnant. As long as the three old ladies can live until the end of the year, they can meet the fifth generation of the Weng family.

"Grandma, third mother-in-law, I'm so excited. How did you get today?" Hong Tao did not enter the Weng family's large courtyard, but walked to the river. Although the royal family was one of the guests that the Weng family was willing to receive and had to receive, he talked with a large group of women, Hong Tao, and if it weren't for the Chinese New Year and the holiday, he wouldn't come here to disturb others.

"Since the emperor fishing in this river, the fishes dare not come around again. We cast three nets. Look, there are only a few little ones who are not very eye-catching!" There were two mother-in-law on the boat. They are sisters. The one who talks is the eldest sister and the third sister who is on the net. The one in the middle is not in good health these days, so they don't leave the house very much after the Spring Festival.

"Let it go, let them go back and pass the message, and wouldn't it be better to ask their parents to come here to avenge them." Before the boat could dock, Hong Tao rushed up, picked up the bamboo basket soaked in the water and looked in. Four small fish as big as a palm, flipped their wrists and poured them into the water.

"San Lao, have you seen it? Our emperor is becoming more and more kind. This is not like the great evil god in the past."

"Hey, sister, the emperor is not the young man he used to be. Look at his temples are white, why can he fight and kill? Tao Yizi, are you tired of farming and want to fish?" Seeing that Hong Tao did not even bring the guards, Weng San's mother-in-law thought the emperor was going to farm again, and the imperial village was not far from the Weng family's large courtyard.

"How to say, Haibo had my problems back then. There was nothing good about me today. I am afraid that the Weng family will suffer losses. Two mothers-in-law, this matter is related to the rise and fall of the Weng family. Can I finish my words?" Hong Tao couldn't find a suitable statement to say this more tactfully. Instead of hiding the two old ladies and making them anxious, it would be better to just say it.

"Is something wrong with peace?" Hong Tao's words did not work at all. One of the two old ladies put down the oars and the other threw the fishing net into the river. They blinked their eyes and stared at Hong Tao, and their legs began to tremble. If the Weng family's only seedlings disappeared in the end, they really had no hope of living. As for Weng Shu, who had not given birth for a long time, they ignored it directly.

"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with Ping An. He worked on the internship ship of the Mayi Port Military Academy. He neither sailed nor fought wars, and would not have any accidents. Another thing I mentioned was related to Mingyue's husband and two distant relatives of the Weng family. How could I say that Weng Xiaoyi and two other Weng people used their work to sell the secrets of the empire to foreign merchants, and were stolen and captured by the Interior Bureau. He and his nephew confessed. Moreover, he also had a family in Brunei Port, and he kept several women, and bought them with the stolen money. Mingyue also knew about this, and he helped Weng Xiaoyi for several years in reporting slave immigration." Hong Tao told the general situation of the Weng Xiaoyi case to the two old ladies Weng. Needless to say, there was too detailed, and there was no need to take any evidence. The emperor himself had this credit.

"Mingyue! She... She is so confused! If the second sister knows, she can't even survive Xia Tian. Your Majesty, mother-in-law, please, can you spare Mingyue once? I locked her at home and will not be allowed to leave the house after that..." The third mother-in-law Weng slapped her thigh when she heard it. Weng Mingyue is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Weng Haibo, and she is also a widow after half a year of marriage. She finally married Weng Xiaoyi and had four children. Now she is involved in this kind of thing again. Although the old lady doesn't quite understand the detailed provisions of the imperial law, she also knows that this is not a trivial matter, otherwise the emperor would not have to come in person.

"Three, shut up! Listen to Your Majesty first. What would happen to Mingyue if you follow the laws of the empire?" Grandma Weng, who is the youngest, is the most imposing. This old lady is the actual head of the Weng family. She doesn't know a big word, but she is very smart. The Weng family can monopolize the chemical group and rely on a group of women to gain a foothold in the empire. Most of them are her strategists behind the scenes. Weng Ya is her granddaughter, and her character is her inheritance.

"...According to imperial laws, if the crime of treason is involved, there is only one result. After public trial, it is hanged at the dock, no body is allowed to be collected, and no burying it in the cemetery. It is also necessary to inform the governors of all places that they may be written into school textbooks, which is almost the same as being infatuated for thousands of years." Hong Tao sat on the bow of the boat, clicked his mouth a few times, and told the truth.

"Then your grandfather, you just want to notify the Weng family to be arrested, right?" Old Mrs. Weng did not sit down, but tried to straighten her hunched back with a paddle. When she talked about the word "catching people", she looked towards the woods on the shore, wanting to see if Emperor Hong came with someone from the Interior Bureau of the Supervision Department.

"Grandma, don't worry, according to the law of the empire, I shouldn't interfere in this matter. The trial and arrest of the case are not the emperor's rights. Even if I really want to arrest the person, it's not my turn to arrest him. Not many people know about this matter at present, and even Bo Jiao and the others don't know it in detail. I also warned them that they won't say anything randomly. I just want to discuss with the three mother-in-laws first, how to solve this matter to minimize the harm to the Weng family, and at the same time, try to avoid destroying the empire law."
