The typhoon outside the window seemed to be even more violent, but Zhang Dingbian in the room finally calmed down. Zou Pusheng also took the opportunity to tell the things he had discussed with Li Jie before, which surprised Zhang Dingbian even more, and then fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhang Dingbian suddenly looked up and said, "Deputy Envoy Li, if we are willing to go to Tsushima Island, can we rescue our old brothers?"

"That's natural. Your subordinates are still weaker, but if you add the fishermen in Nine surnames, you can use Tsushima Island as a springboard to step on the land of Kyushu Island, and the court will also give you some help!" Li Jie nodded with a smile.

"No, based on my understanding of your Emperor, how could he agree so easily to let go of the nine-subject fishermen, and how could he provide us with help?" Zhang Dingbian immediately said suspiciously. When he was under Chen Youliang, he had specially studied Zhu Yuanzhang's character. After all, in this world, the person who knows you best is your enemy.

"Didn't Deputy Envoy Li say that after we conquered Tsuma Island and Kyushu Island, we will completely solve the problem of Japanese pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. I think compared to Japanese pirates, our old brothers are nothing at all, right?" Before Li Jie could answer, Zou Pusheng next to him answered.

"Impossible. Although the Japanese pirates have serious problems, in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he is probably more worried that we are gathered together to cause trouble. Even if we become a big shot overseas, wouldn't the threat to the Ming Dynasty be even greater in the future?" Zhang Dingbian shook his head again and said.

Zou Pusheng also showed a suspicious look when he heard this, and he also saw Li Jie at the moment, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

Li Jie smiled again and said, "Master Mu Ran said it well. If you only solve the problem of Japanese pirates, Your Majesty will definitely not easily agree to release the fishermen of Jiu, and will not support you. However, there is something we need in Japan, so after you capture Tsushima Island and Kyushu Island, you will also help us obtain such things!"

"What?" Zhang Dingbian asked anxiously.

"I can't say it for the time being, but don't worry, this kind of thing will be good for you too!" Li Jie said with a mysterious smile.

Seeing that Li Jie refused to say anything, Zhang Dingbian and Zou Pusheng had no choice. The two looked at each other, and then discussed in a low voice for a while. Finally, Zhang Dingbian looked up and said, "Okay, we promise you, but unless we see old brothers such as the Jiushi fishermen, we will not leave!"

"No problem, you can live here temporarily. I will return to Beijing in the next two days. As long as you convince Your Majesty, you will be notified as soon as possible!" Li Jie nodded immediately.

"Okay, one word is determined!" Zhang Dingbian stretched out his hand and said, and Li Jie immediately slapped the other party as a sworn. Although this vow depends entirely on personal integrity, Li Jie and Zhang Dingbian both believed that the other party was not a villain without words.

In the afternoon of that day, Jiang Qi brought the Jinyiwei to see Tang He braved the wind and rain. The countless spies who colluded with the Japanese pirates, as well as their subordinates and families, were all captured by Jiang Qi. These people sold stolen goods for the Japanese pirates and provided supplies and intelligence for the Japanese pirates. Almost all the people killed by the Japanese pirates died indirectly at their hands.

What surprised Li Jie was that among these spies, there were actually officials from the court, not one, but seven. Among them, the highest position was a judge. He had previously welcomed Tang He and Li Jie with the prefect Wang Lun. It was no wonder that the Japanese pirates knew so clearly about their whereabouts.

These spies are to be escorted back to the capital, and the Jinyiwei will be interrogated before handling it. It is estimated that they will be scrambled by thousands of swords in the end, but compared to the sins they committed, scrambled by thousands of swords are lighter.

In the evening, Li Jie also found an opportunity to meet Tang He, and then told him what he discussed with Zhang Dingbian and Zou Pusheng. After all, Tang He also needed to know about this matter. However, after hearing this, Tang He stood up in shock and said, "You kid are crazy!"

"I'm very clear. If this matter is done, it will be a matter of success. It will not only be good for our Ming Dynasty, but also for Zhang Dingbian and others. The only one who has suffered damage is Japan!" Li Jie replied with a smile.

"Of course I know that this matter is beneficial, but Your Majesty will never agree!" Tang He shook his head with great certainty. He was the one who knew Zhu Yuanzhang the best. Compared with the Japanese pirates, these old subordinates of Chen Youliang had a greater threat in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

"You don't have to worry about this Grandpa Tang. I have a way to convince Your Majesty. It just so happens that those spies are going to escort the capital. Why not let me go back in person and convince Your Majesty to agree to this matter!" Li Jie smiled confidently.

"You want to go back?" Tang He showed a strange expression when he heard this, and then he sighed, "Now is definitely not a good time to go back to the capital. You have to think clearly!"

"Why, Grandpa Tang, have you received any news?" Li Jie's heart sank when he heard Tang He's words.

"It's okay to tell you!" Tang He hesitated for a moment and finally spoke, "Just today I just received the news that Li Cunyi and his son have been arrested by His Majesty and returned to the capital for interrogation. Li Cunyi, you are your grandfather's younger brother, and you are Hu Weiyong's children and relatives. He was involved in the Hu Weiyong case at the beginning, but he escaped because of your grandfather's relationship. Now that he is arrested again, you should understand what this means!"

Li Jie was also shocked when he heard this. Did Zhu Yuanzhang finally take action against Li Shanchang? Could it be that his reminder to Li Shanchang still did not work?

"Boy, I advise you to stay here with me and wait until the limelight in the capital passes before talking!" Tang He also spoke again at this time. Although Li Jie had threatened him, it also tied Li Jie and the fate of their Tang family together, so he didn't want anything to happen to Li Jie again.

Li Jie also showed a thoughtful expression at this time. After a while, he finally shook his head and said, "No, I have to go back. This time I finally convinced Master Mu Leung and Master Zou that I must strike while the iron is hot to settle the matter, otherwise I will be worried that it will change if I change!"

Of course, Li Jie had another reason not to say, that is, he was worried that when Li Shanchang had an accident, his family would be implicated. Although Lao Zhu had promised him that as long as he wiped out the Japanese pirates, he was still worried. Although Lao Zhu was the emperor, he was known as a golden word, if he really had no faith, no one could do anything to him!

"You kid is such a donkey-tempered person. You can't even get back if you decide the truth!" Tang He saw Li Jie insisting on going back, and immediately complained angrily, and then said unwillingly, "How are you resettled those women you saved? Don't think of leaving a mess. You pat your butt and leave. You must finish these things before leaving!"

"Grandpa Tang Don't worry, among those women who are willing to go back, I have prepared some property for them, but most of them don't want to leave. So I discussed with Master Wang and bought them a farm outside the city, so that they could do some textile and embroidery work, and could support themselves. In addition, I have some business in the capital, and I will take care of them in private, so I will definitely not make things difficult for them!" Li Jie reported immediately.

"Where does the money come from?" Tang He asked again.

"Of course it was the property seized from the Japanese pirates, and the prefect Wang agreed to this." Li Jie smiled again. He has not been idle these days. He has also spent a lot of effort to resettle these women. Moreover, if these women do well, he will give them some more important things in the future.

Seeing that Li Jie was arranged all of them, Tang He had no reason to leave Li Jie again, so he finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if you want to go back, go back. Then help me bring back the memorial to me. It is also a great achievement for you to persuade Zhang Dingbian and others to help. Your Majesty should not make things difficult for your family again!"

"Thank you Grandpa Tang!" Li Jie thanked Tang He again after hearing this. He returned to Beijing with his credit, and he had a layer of guarantee.
