In places like Guangzhou, except for those female family members who pay attention to rules, ordinary wealthy families either ride horses or cool sedans, or breathable mule carts with double-faced windows. Just like the green cloth screened sedans made by Du Maode at this moment, it is relatively rare. At this moment, sitting in it, he could clearly see the journey, and therefore clearly know that this was indeed the way to the procuratorate. So, when the sedan really stopped at the back door of the procuratorate, and a follower greeted him with a smile, he couldn't help but straighten the draped scarf on his head and then walked in.

But he knew exactly why he didn't go to the main entrance. After all, his other identity was shameful.

The prison guards went in and out three times. The entourage led him through the back door, but just led him into a corner door and retreated. The next person was greeted by a round-faced boy. He bowed deeply to the other side, then bowed with a smile and said, "Senior Du, I am Chen Bingchang, Mr. Wang's secretary."

"I've met Secretary Chen." Wang Fulin's two aides were all scholars, but their origins were different. Du Maode had heard of them when he went to the city for the rural examination, and he immediately returned the court meticulously.

The two bowed to each other, and Chen Bingchang led the way forward and led Du Maode to the door of a main hall. He said, "Mr. Wang lives and meets guests, either in the front yard hall or in the study room in the second yard. This is the place where Mr. Wang lives and sits and rests in his daily life. The east wing is the residence of Senior Xu and me, and the west wing is said to be left for Senior Du."

Du Maode realized that Wang Fulin had clearly understood that his affairs were already clear, and he had already put aside any concerns. However, no matter whether Xu Xiucai recommended him, Wang Fulin had arranged it in advance to solve his biggest crisis. At this moment, his own people had not been hired, but the place had been opened. He had to admit in his heart that Wang Fulin had just passed the courtesy of the wise and the county magistrates he knew more than a few streets. Although the matter of hiring a staff member was the master of the master of the court, most of the time, he chose the guest, but the guest of the guest was always choosing the master, for fear of losing his reputation?

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your reminder." He calmed down his emotions, but before entering the door, he lowered his voice, "Only Mr. Chen, please be careful in the future. Sometimes, you still need to say nothing."

Chen Bingchang couldn't help but be stunned until Du Maode entered the door. While thinking about it, he went back to his house, but when he was about to step into the threshold, he slightly realized the profound meaning. Although he had paid great attention to the difference between people and people, it has to be said that compared to Xu Danwang and Du Maode, two new scholars who were about to recruit, he had a much more intimate relationship with Wang Fulin, which can be seen from the title Wang Fulin usually calls him. So he could never help but go over half a step, say what he shouldn't say, and do what he shouldn't do.

Thinking of this, he gently knocked on his forehead with his fist and said to himself: "I remember it in the future. You have to listen more and watch more and talk less and do less!"

As soon as Du Maode entered the main room, his eyes fell on the young man sitting with a smile after the central case. The furnishings in the main room were very elegant, including some famous calligraphy and paintings and rare instruments. However, the jade-colored robe looked no different from ordinary scholars at this moment, and his leisurely demeanor was harmoniously integrated with this environment, which was more like a leisurely living picture than those calligraphy and paintings. Although he had heard of the age of the new inspector, he knew his skillful means under his young appearance, and he was still stunned for a moment before he stepped forward to salute.

"Sitting is not a court report. Just be at will." Wang Fulin smiled and threw down the unfinished letter he had written to Tan Lun before, and then said bluntly, "Xu Sheng was ordered by me to go to Haojing before, and recommended a few people to me before leaving, the first of which was you. If it were just like this, I would not have arranged such a complicated arrangement in Datong Village, but because I had heard of your unreasonable things that were not worthy of being spoken by outsiders before, I would have prepared for the future."

After sitting down, Du Maode thought Wang Fulin wanted to exchange greetings, but the other party turned to the table and knew the reason for his past tomorrow. He immediately moved his heart and couldn't help asking: "Can Mr. Wang know the hero Lu in Xinchang?"

Since the incident of Shao Daxia in Danyang, Wang Fulin has been very unaware of the word "门门". When he heard the title of Du Maode, he wanted to correct it, but he finally skipped this section. Of course, he would not say that Lu Guangwu was ordered by his teacher He Xinyin to travel around the world and visit heroes all over the country, but said lightly: "Yes, I have known Mr. Lu for a long time, and I have just met before."

Even Du Maode was extremely smart, but he was surprised and happy at the moment because he suddenly heard the news of his benefactor and old friend. He instinctively thought that his affairs were revealed to Wang Fulin by Lu Guangwu. Although he had deliberately made several policy statements in the Gongyuan that would definitely be posted, and wanted to let Qiu Sihai go and attract Lu Guangwu, it seemed that he had not succeeded in the end, but found that he had escaped because of Lu Guangwu. He couldn't help but feel grateful, but at the same time, he was even more grateful. He had only heard Xu Xiucai and Lu Guangwu recommending him one after another, so he tried his best to protect Wang Fulin, who had worked hard to protect his family of three.

He immediately left his seat and stood up, went to the center to bow and said, "The students and their wives and children can be protected, thanks to Mr. Wang!"

Wang Fulin immediately stood up from the case and came up to help the person up. He smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. I might as well tell you clearly. I came to Guangdong to help Ling Jiantai destroy Luobianshan Yaoyun. Unexpectedly, by chance, it was Hao Jing's trip to Hai Trade, but then he was ordered by Ling Jiantai, and the pirates in Guangdong and Fujian did not allow any trouble again. I used Xu Sheng because he could communicate with the Folang Ji people and understand the situation of Hao Jing. I used you because of your past."

Du Maode had met Yin Zhengmao before and had more or less contact with officials at all levels in Guangzhou. He knew that these people in the officialdom often like to keep inseparable everything and make you confused. Wang Fulin was so straightforward, but after his initial shock, he felt relaxed. Therefore, when Wang Fulin let go, he was also very straightforward.

"Mr. Wang values ​​it, and the students dare not refuse. But among the pirates, there is no faith and no kindness, which is about interests and strength. If there is no strength, they will be annexed in a short time. If there is no interest, even brothers will turn against each other. This time, Qiu Sihai and others want to bring me back because Lin Afeng is severely defeated in Luzon. After sneaking back to Guangdong and Fujian, he is becoming increasingly embarrassed because of the continuous attacks of the government. If I have planned it in the middle, I will not say anything else. At least he can be more at ease in the Hezong Lianheng swallowing other pirates, but the most important purpose of their coming is that these people under Lin Afeng are willing to surrender."

After Qiu Sihai was taken down, Xiaobei did not immediately order someone to interrogate. Wang Fulin was also not in a hurry. If such a stubborn pirate was made to think it was important from the beginning, he would definitely play with all kinds of tricks. On the contrary, if he abandoned him like a shabby person and ignored him, then there might be some other gains. However, Du Maode actually knew that these guys had worked hard to sneak into Guangzhou, which was still a very unexpected surprise for Wang Fulin.

Of course, he would never think that the purpose of these people here is to surrender. Then the itinerary of Lu Guangwu and Zheng Mingxian will be very smooth and safe. After all, the court has a poor reputation in recruiting and pilgrims, of course, are also notorious in surrender. It can be said that both sides are half a pound and eight taels, and neither of them is much better!

"Are these revealed to you by Qiu Sihai?"

Wang Fulin narrowed his eyes slightly and saw Du Maode nodding. He asked in detail about the details. Until he learned that Lin Afeng's command had gone from being known as tens of thousands of people at its peak at the beginning, and hundreds of ships of course, this number would have to be countless question marks to only dozens of ships left now. At most, there were only a few hundred people left. He pondered silently and asked for a long time: "Where is Lin Daoqian?"

"Lin Daoqian may have sneaked back to Chaozhou Prefecture. After all, he was an outsider in Beida Nian in Siam. Although the local natives admired him a lot and many people joined him, he still hoped that more villagers would be more. Otherwise, if the natives rebelled, he would be in a difficult position. Moreover, the King of Siam was said to have planned to drive him away because of the strict orders of the imperial court several times. Lin Afeng could not survive in Luzon, because the troops under his command suffered heavy losses and could not withstand the Folang Jimen."

Du Maode only knew that the Folang Jiren who captured Luzon seemed to be a little different from the Folang Jiren who took root in Haojing, which is now in Macau, but he didn't know much about the deeper things, but this did not prevent him from gaining insight into the deeper connotation.

"After all, those Franchise men who captured Luzon, Manlacca and other places were said to have received support from their country's court, while Lindao, Qianlin, Afeng and others were regarded as rebellious by our dynasty. Even if they were recruited, they would be allowed to go ashore for the people and not go to sea again. If they did not follow, they would send troops to clear the situation to the end. Therefore, these pirates may be caught off guard by a surprise attack, but if they fought for a long time, they would be weak in succession. After all, this is the difference between a mob and a power of a country, whether it is a big country or a small country."

Wang Fulin was undoubtedly quite satisfied with this answer. It was able to see the difference, which shows that Du Maode had real information. After asking about the other knowledge of the thieves in Guangdong and Fujian, he pointed to the things on the desk and said, "These are some notes I got from Xu Sheng, about the Folang Ji people. Xu Sheng should have done this, but now I have to trouble you to preside over it. The so-called Folang Ji country actually includes many Western countries, including geographical and national conditions and strengths, etc. I have learned some of them in the past and made some corresponding records. All of them must be sorted out so that I can submit them to the court. In addition, I had agreed with Bishop Jia Nailau, Haojing, to send a few people to their St. Paul's Monastery to learn their language and to translate their books."

"You must know that unlike the Huns, Turks, Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongolia in the past, the Folangji people came from overseas, and their writing was not formed by the help of our dynasty. They must have their own unique features. Moreover, they are sailing on the sea and have extraordinary strength, so they need to deepen their understanding. Some old men in the court are complacent, and even if they don't pay attention to my comments, they must not ignore them. I will find some candidates through Lianxi Academy. If you have time in the future, you can check with Chen Bingchang."

Du Maode was in Guangdong and had followed pirates to Nanyang. His understanding of Folangji was naturally far better than that of ordinary officials. When he heard Wang Fulin say this, he felt convinced and immediately responded with sternness: "Students should do their best to sort out these notes first for Mr. Wang to refer to."

After the matter was said, the following conversation naturally became relaxed. Du Maode had some speculations about the place where his three members of his family had settled, but he had always been tacitly asking, but he didn't expect Wang Fulin to speak directly: "If your wife and children return to their hometown outside the city, you won't feel at ease. Just ask a few people to help the farmland to be harvested. As for the mother and son, they will continue to live with their inner son. They can also take care of each other. I originally planned to let Xu Sheng's family move there, but Xu Sheng thought that his wife and children were used to being in Yue's family, so I asked someone to send Shu Xiu over, so I won't force him."

Seeing that Du Maode was not as surprised as Chen Bingchang learned that he had brought his wife to Guangzhou before, Wang Fulin thought that this was the one who had been patient and endured among pirates for several years, he continued to say: "As for your Shun, Chen Bingchang came to me for experience, and thirty taels a year. When Xu Sheng used to do a comradeship in Haojing, there were 120 taels a year, so I would give him 120 taels a year. As for you, you should speak for yourself. Although I am not as generous as those pirates who do not have capital business, they are not poor. However, for the time being, you cannot show up like Chen Bingchang and Xu Sheng, just in case."

When talking about future work and salary issues, Du Maode was not as uncomfortable as other scholars, but he was really embarrassed to speak by himself. Thinking that his wife and children were still hiding in Wang Fulin's private residence, he quickly had an idea: "Since Mr. Wang knows my past, do you plan to use me to urge those pirates in the future?"

"good."

"Since that's the case, although I don't love money, I have to ensure that my wife and children in the family have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life. My remaining abilities are limited, so Shu Hui and Xu Sheng can be together. But if I need me to go to Lin Afeng's place in the future, I will ask Mr. Wang to take care of the students' family."

When Wang Fulin heard that Du Maode was directly entrusted to his family, he was stunned. Then he remembered Lu Guangwu, Zheng Mingxian, who had no news yet. He knew that he might really need Du Maode to take a trip, and this trip was undoubtedly quite dangerous. Therefore, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "If there is any, your wife will be your sister-in-law, and your son will be my son."

"Then the student, thank you Mr. Wang for this promise!"

The two officially decided to distinguish between the guest and the host. When Wang Fulin stood up and sent Du Maode out, he happened to see Wang Siming coming in from the third gate. The doorman with half of his ear quickly stepped forward and bowed, and then said with a strange expression: "Young Master, there are many new imperial examination candidates outside, saying that they are here... to pay homage to the teacher."

Meet the teacher...

Du Maode then remembered that when he was taking the provincial examination, Wang Fulin seemed to be the chief magistrate. But when he looked at the other party's age, he thought that the people outside would probably find it difficult to be younger than him, and he suddenly felt a very funny feeling. But at this moment, he saw Wang Fulin turn his head and look at him, and said with a smile: "To be honest, if you hadn't made any mistakes in your policy and made a letter, maybe you would be the one who came to pay a visit to the teacher at this time?"

When Du Maode saw Wang Fulin smiling, he directly ordered Wang Siming to bring people to the hall. Even if he was as serious as him, he had the urge to watch the fun with him.

This next scene is probably rare in a century, right? (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
