Compared with the two pirate kings who came from She County, Huizhou Prefecture and Wang Fulin were the same hometown, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai. After the Japanese pirates were wiped out by famous generals such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, the pirates in Guangdong and Fujian who were still rampant along the coast almost all came from two places next to each other, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian and Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong.

At the junction of the two palaces, there are Nan'ao Island and Dongshan Island, which have been the most active place for smugglers and pirates for decades. But after repeated attacks, the surrounding areas of the garrison are densely populated, which makes it difficult for large-scale pirates to move forward, and more pirates have to break into pieces and disperse their actions.

However, in addition to pirates, Chaozhou Prefecture is also the richest place in Guangdong except Guangzhou Prefecture. The share of Chaozhou merchants in Haojing Sea Trade is also very significant, but compared with the wealthy merchants in Guangzhou, Chaozhou merchants often take odd steps in addition to serious business and are involved in smuggling. Some families even have close ties with pirates, providing supplies, supplies and even various other support behind the scenes, and sometimes even spend a lot of money to open up the joints between the government and the garrison.

It is precisely because it is a place where crime and commerce are extremely prosperous, Chaozhou Fucheng is not inferior to Guangzhou Fucheng, but the size and population are somewhat different. This is also a place where water systems meet, and water transportation is extremely developed. If the court had not prohibited going to sea on the surface, the prosperity would have only exceeded it.

Therefore, finding someone in such a prosperous city was like looking for a needle in a haystack, especially for Wang Fulin, who came here for the first time. Fortunately, Du Maode brought him today. This scholar was like an old horse's guide to know the way, and successfully brought him to an alley far away from the bustling one.

Du Maode did not know the owner of the house in the deep alley, but just asked along the way according to Wang Fulin's instructions and found it all the time. After all, the rich merchants in Chaozhou who stayed in Haojing all year round could speak fluent Cantonese dialect, but when they arrived in Chaozhou, they had to face the baptism of Chaoshan dialect that was not the same system as Cantonese dialect, but the Minnan accent. If Du Maode did not have Du Maode this time, even Wang Fulin's so-called "excellent" language talent would become deaf and mute. He came to the door successfully, and then looked up at the words on the lintel, and Wang Fulin knocked on the door gently.

The one who opened the door was an old servant. He looked at Wang Fulin who was knocking on the door in confusion. When he learned that he was here to see his master, he had no intention of opening the door wider and letting people in. Instead, he interrogated it carefully before closing the door with a slam. It is unknown whether to report or turn people out of the door.

Faced with this kind of treatment, Wang Fulin touched his nose. He was not much angry about receiving such treatment for the first time in his life, but felt it was a little funny. After all, he had an experience of getting along with him in the past and heard from Zhang Zhiyu of Xiangshan Academy. It was a bit unreasonable to pass by Haiyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture but passed by his door and did not enter.

"Which old friend is visiting?"

Wang Fulin didn't wait too long. With this very fluent accent, the door was opened again. What appeared was a middle-aged man with a lot of white hair on his temples and aged about 46. As soon as he met, his eyes flew over Du Maode and landed on Wang Fulin. Then he widened his eyes incredibly: "You, you... you are..."

"Master Feng, it's been a long time since." Wang Fulin smiled and bowed. Seeing that Teacher Feng from She County's former She County Academy Teacher, whom he always called Master Feng, was still in a dull state, he coughed dryly, "Why? I am not welcome as a student? I just arrived at Chaozhou Prefecture and found this place directly. No one knew that I was here."

"You...ah, look at me, I'm not prepared at all."

Master Feng hurriedly bowed and gave Wang Fulin in. Seeing that there was only one follower in Du Maode, he drove the old servant away. After he didn't care about that, he grabbed Wang Fulin and walked in and said in a low voice: "You are not the little scholar back then. Why are you so careless when you go out? You only bring one person? If you make a mistake, you will let Ye County Master... Cough cough, what should you do? White dragon fish suit, fish and shrimps can play with you. You should understand this principle!"

Du Maode only knew that Master Feng had been a teacher at the She County Academy back then. When he saw him, he reminded Wang Fulin in this way. Obviously, his closeness was far greater than that of ordinary teachers and scholars. He couldn't help but be curious. When Master Feng invited Wang Fulin to the study, he hesitated for a moment and planned to stay outside, but when he saw Wang Fulin waved to him, he finally followed him in. But as soon as he entered the house, he heard the next conversation between Master Feng and Wang Fulin, he found that this middle-aged man who had been a teacher and was called Master Feng by Wang Fulin was indeed very familiar with Wang Fulin.

As Master Feng mentioned in his speech, Ye County or Lord Ye, he realized that Wang Fulin had married the daughter of the former county magistrate, and he could not help but guess. However, when Master Feng smiled and recalled the old story, he realized that it was clearly not that Wang Fulin borrowed the power of the former county magistrate, but that the county magistrate was helped by Wang Fulin, so he achieved remarkable political achievements and became promoted and rich. So when he married his daughter, he was surprised and surprised.

However, the two people who met again after a long time obviously had no intention of just reminiscing about their old feelings, and the topic gradually changed. Especially when Wang Fulin came to find Master Feng today, in addition to visiting old friends, it was also for another thing: "In fact, if I hadn't visited Haojing before and passed by Xiangshan County, the Academy Teacher Zhang said that Master Feng and you are a fellow villager, even if I arrived at Chaozhou Prefecture, I wouldn't have known that you were close to you. The few people who came to this trip were for..."

Even Master Feng has always known that Wang Fulin is a very bold person. When he heard that Wang Fulin came here to hide the truth and only obtained the acquiescence of Ling Yunyi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, no one knew that he was going to recruit pirates, he still felt that his head was about to explode. In Chaozhou Prefecture, he certainly knew how terrible a creature like a pirate is. He couldn't help but persuade him, so he looked at the only middle-aged scholar Wang Fulin was with him today. It was obvious that the other person smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew that the other party must have had a lot of effort, so he was discouraged.

"How can you be so arbitrary when such a risky thing!" Master Feng couldn't help but take out the momentum of seeing Wang Fulin alone in the first time before, and he said nothing without saying anything. He scolded him angrily and anxiously, "Even if it's what the Shangfeng ordered, it depends on whether it can be done or not. How can you carry everything on your shoulders? If you have a few shortcomings, what should you do if you ask your family? Also, for such a big thing, someone who has nothing to do with me, what if it leaks out? You have always been the safest to do things. Why are you so reckless and confused this time?"

"Master Feng, I naturally know your kindness. Although I told the people in the procuratorate when I left that I was not allowed to disclose my whereabouts to outsiders, when I arrived at Chaozhou Prefecture, I would not go to see other people in the government. If no one knew that I had been here, if there was a mistake when I needed to pass the message, then wouldn't I dig a hole and jump myself? Master Feng, I have known you for so long, and I am doing things. You should be clearer. If you can't believe it in Chaozhou Prefecture, who can trust me? The reason for my coming here is not only to reminisce about the past, but also to help me!"

Although Master Feng has long passed the age of being easily moved, he has left She County for several years and has now passed the two levels of the provincial examination and the three-level official career. Wang Fulin, who has entered the official career with the Three-League, actually showed such deep trust in himself. How could he remain indifferent if he asked for help? So he didn't care that he had already given up his plan to find a second position, sat up straight, and asked with a serious expression: "How do you need me to help?"

Seeing Master Feng’s attitude on the face of the goat, Wang Fulin couldn’t help but feel happy. So many years have passed. Although he is no longer a teacher, Master Feng is still a enthusiastic person who is eager to be righteous. Otherwise, why would he have taught him a serious lesson in a hurry just now?

So he immediately bowed and said, "I plan to treat Master Feng as a contact center. Once something happens, I will send you a message to you first and then to Guangzhou. Any information in Guangzhou will also be transferred to you. Once you need to alarm the local government in Chaozhou, you will also work for Master Feng. In addition, I need a guide who is familiar with Chaoshan dialect, and it is best to be familiar with Zhelin and Nanao."

When Wang Fulin entrusts the contact relay point to Master Feng and then leaves the Feng family, Du Maode, who had basically said a few words to Master Feng when Wang Fulin introduced him, finally couldn't help asking: "Young Master Feng, who once served as a teacher in She County?"

"If you don't doubt people, don't doubt people. Just like I hire you, I will be honest and believe it without doubt. What's more, I know Master Feng very well. I have no relatives in Chaozhou Prefecture, and those officials only hear their names and do not know them. What's more, I don't want some people to know about the news of my coming."

Wang Fulin smiled, but knew in his heart that he had been running around over the years, and although he had been in danger, he still made many friends. Therefore, even if he was suddenly ordered to come to Guangdong, thousands of miles away from his hometown, he could still find someone who was trustworthy. This is the biggest reason why he could avoid fighting alone at a young age. Of course, the words he said to Master Feng just now were half true and half false, and the contact point was true, but it was probably not useful to contact Chaozhou Prefecture officials.

Speaking of this, Wang Fulin turned around and smiled at Du Maode: "Let's go, since the retreat has been ensured, it will be easier next."

After hearing this, Du Maode had to do his last effort. After leaving Guangzhou, he saw that Qiu Sihai had been blindfolded and thrown in the car. He had never known what Wang Fulin's constitution was and whether he wanted to take risks himself. However, when he just heard that Wang Fulin asked Master Feng to recommend another guide who was familiar with Chaoshan dialect, he finally guessed it in his heart, but decided to test it for the last time.

"Master Wang, you don't really plan to go there in person, right? If both of me were in danger, wouldn't you be able to do what you promised me before? Besides, since you want a guide, you must have noticed that if you don't speak Chaoshan dialect, you will be unable to move among pirates."

After Lu Guangwu and Zheng Mingxian persuaded him, Wang Fulin had long given up the idea of ​​doing everything himself. He specialized in his profession, and some things could not be easily obtained by courage. For several days, he has been changing the details of his plan based on various news. He wanted a guide to make up for the biggest shortcomings of unfamiliar with geography and human feelings.

Seeing that Du Maode was still persuading him conscientiously, he was silent for a while and finally nodded and said, "Enter the enemy camp alone, take Qiu Sihai, I will forget that I will not make any mistakes when adapting to the situation and will cause trouble." But when he said this, he was thinking about something else.

At this moment, Ling Jiantai, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, has begun to use troops to Luobianshan. I am afraid that even if I encounter any problems, I will not be able to free up my hands to deal with the emergencies here, so I cannot expect any support there. In addition to leaving a contact point for Master Feng of Chaozhou Prefecture, he needs to prepare a group of helpers for Du Maode.

Du Maode finally took out such a correct word from Wang Fulin, and immediately felt relieved. He was afraid that Wang Fulin would insist on mingling among the pirates, which would be a life-and-death life. Those pirates who could do anything, no matter whether you or the court officials have become more and more powerful in deterrence over the years, if the pirates really kill people in anger and go to the south of the ocean, where can they really catch the murderer?

When Wang Fulin briefly explained his other plan, he felt relieved and was naturally surprised and happy. When the matter was finalized, the two of them still followed the posture they had previously put on the inn, one after another, and only pretended not to know each other. When they returned to the small inn recommended by Du Maode, Wang Fulin saw Du Maode go straight to Qiu Sihai's room, and he sighed softly and went back to the room by himself. Not long after, Liu Bo, who had been staring at there, quietly entered the room, and whispered: "Young Master, Mr. Du has taken Qiu Sihai with him. Do you really need to go with him alone?"

Wang Fulin did not answer Liu Bo's question, but asked back: "When he was taken away, did Qiu Sihai do anything unusual?"

"No." Liu Bo hesitated for a moment and added another sentence, "Or, at least I didn't see it."

There is no and no see, the difference between them is naturally very big. However, Wang Fulin cannot demand it. After all, whether it is Lu Guangwu, Zheng Mingxian, or Du Maode's trip, it is extremely risky. Since he intends to provide support to Du Maode, he naturally cannot stay in this Chaozhou Prefecture City and will remain unmoved. After all, some Chaozhou businessmen may know him, otherwise he would not have to come to Master Feng.

"Where is Xiuzhu?"

"Miss Xiuzhu is also very peaceful and has been staying in the house and never came out."

Wang Fulin was a little surprised at such an answer. But when Xiuzhu came out this time, it was the result of Chen Bingchang's almost all efforts to guarantee, so he felt relieved. Although he was a girl who did his own way, his gratitude or feelings for Chen Bingchang were real, so he was able to restrain himself.
