"Brother, please come in quickly. As you said, that boy is not willing to hand over the city of Malacca at all!" Huang Qionghai saw the tall man with gray beard outside and said immediately. He had long known that the other man would come to find him.

The tall man outside walked into the cabin, carefully closed the door, and then said: "The Ming Dynasty was already in the midst of internal and external troubles. At this time, it actually sent a navy to Nanyang and made great efforts to fight against them.

If the Portuguese ran away just to protect the security of their vassal country, I'm afraid no one would believe it. And the only thing that Ming Dynasty likes about Nanyang is money. After all, occupying the port of Malacca is equivalent to a lot of money.

Having an inexhaustible money bag, although it cannot completely solve Ming Dynasty's financial problems, it can always relieve some pressure."

The man who came in was wearing a boatman's shorts, and his skin was dark and shiny. His gray hair was pinned on his head with a fish bone as thick as a chopstick. He looked like an elderly man.

An ordinary boatman. But just now Huang Qionghai called him "brother", which is a bit strange.

"Brother is right. I think that boy Zhou Zhong had this idea. I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty valued him very much. It is probably as you guessed that he used smuggling to open up a new way of making money for the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.

Now he has made plans to come to Nanyang, but it has only been less than two years. How did he make the Chamber of Commerce so big, and how did he get in touch with the emperor's boy in the capital?" Huang Qionghai said.

In the end, there was a look of confusion on his face. Not only did his words show no respect for Zhou Chong, he even referred to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty as "boy", which was really bold.

The tall man didn't pay attention to Huang Qionghai's disrespect for the Ming Emperor. He walked back and forth in the cabin several times, and finally stopped suddenly and said: "Qionghai, I think I should go see Zhou Chong!"

After hearing what this tall man said, Huang Qionghai looked a little anxious and said: "Brother, this is absolutely impossible. You have said before that the current Zhou Zhong is definitely not the original Zhou Zhong. After all, the original Zhou Zhong was raised by you."

The big one knows him best. With his ability, it is impossible to bring the Chamber of Commerce back to life in such a short period of time, let alone become the overlord of Shuangyu Port. Even now, he is still in the officialdom.

Come on, this is like a monster!"

Hearing Huang Qionghai's words, the tall man couldn't help but hesitate. He stood there with his head lowered and said nothing. This tall man was none other than Zhou Zhong's father, Zhou Hai. Everyone thought he had died in a shipwreck. But in fact

The truth is not like this. In fact, Zhou Hai did not die, but stayed in Jinzhou in Nanyang and managed the territory of the Kingdom of Malacca on Jinzhou together with his younger brother Huang Qionghai.

Zhou Hai's original name was Huang Zuohai, and he and Huang Qionghai were brothers from the same mother. However, Huang Zuohai returned to the Ming Dynasty with the mission of his family since he was a child, and stayed there for decades. Although he returned to Nanyang several times during this period,

They all came and went in a hurry, but he kept writing letters to his younger brother Huang Qionghai. The two brothers were also very close, and Huang Zuohai also had a very deep affection for the Huang family. When he first heard that the Huang family was in trouble, he happened to not

There was no reason to stay in the Ming Dynasty anymore, so he used a trick to fake his death and return to Nanyang.

Huang Zuohai lowered his head and thought for a long time. Finally he said: "Zhou Zhong was terminally ill at the time. I almost went to all the doctors to treat him, but everyone concluded that he would not survive the end of the year. If Zhou Zhongyi died, then what would happen if Zhou Zhongyi died?

My years of hard work have no meaning. In addition, there were changes in my family at that time, so I gave up everything and returned to Nanyang. But I didn't expect that Zhou Zhong did not die. Instead, he showed extraordinary everywhere. But that was not Zhou Zhong at all.

, although his appearance is the same as Zhou Zhong. But he is definitely not Zhou Zhong!"

At the end of the sentence, Huang Zuohai was a little excited and incoherent, and even showed a look of fear on his face. After all, he was Zhou Zhong's father and had watched him grow up. He also formulated Zhou Chong's lessons bit by bit.

Yes, he had even planned Zhou Zhong's life trajectory, but he never expected that something would go wrong at the last moment, and the son he was most familiar with seemed to have become another person, completely beyond his expectations.

How can he not be afraid of being in control?

Seeing the look on his elder brother's face, Huang Qionghai hurriedly poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him. Huang Zuohai took it and took a big sip before sitting down with a heavy breath, but there was still a look of panic in his eyes.

"Brother, let's not think about why Zhou Zhong had such a big change for now. After all, we have been thinking about it for a long time. In the end, except for the possibility of being possessed by a monster, we really can't think of any other possibility.

"At this time, Huang Qionghai poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said helplessly.

"Monster? Qiong Hai, do you think there are really monsters and monsters in this world? Zhou Zhong is now like this. He is completely different from the nerd who only knew how to read before. But he is obviously Zhou Zhong. You said that apart from being possessed by monsters and monsters,

Are there any other possibilities that can explain this matter?" Huang Zuohai's guess is actually very close to the truth, but he has always believed that ghosts and gods are nonsense, so when he said these things, even he himself did not believe it

.

When Huang Qionghai heard that his brother who never believed in ghosts and gods actually said such words, he smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, the theory of ghosts and gods is too false. We have lived for decades and have never seen any ghosts and gods. Although Zhou Zhong has

What happened is too unbelievable, but I am more willing to believe that there is something we don’t know about it, and this Zhou Zhong may even be just a guy who looks exactly like the original Zhou Zhong!”

Huang Zuohai didn't react at all to his brother's words. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally said again with a firm face: "No matter what, I must see Zhou Zhong, no matter how he became what he is now."

With this look, you will definitely show some flaws after meeting my father!"

"Brother, no, Zhou Chong has already met the emperor of the Ming Dynasty before. If he knows his true life experience, wouldn't it be a trap for eldest brother to meet him this time?" Huang Qionghai heard his eldest brother's decision,

He immediately changed his face and said, he was not only worried about Huang Zuohai's safety, but also worried that if Huang Zuohai was caught, the secrets that his family had guarded for many years might not be preserved, and the whole family might be executed.

"It's not as simple as you think. Only you and I know about Zhou Zhong's life experience. Everyone involved in this matter is dead. It is impossible for any other person to know. And if he knew about his life experience, I'm afraid he would have already known it by now.

The whole world has known about the trouble, how could he still be just a small admiral like now?" Huang Zuohai said in a calm tone. The original plan cost him almost all his life's energy and paid a huge price. Unfortunately, it ended in failure.

Because he failed unexpectedly, he had to figure out the reason no matter what.

After hearing his elder brother's analysis, Huang Qionghai also felt that it made sense. In addition, he could understand Huang Zuohai's thoughts, so after lowering his head and thinking for a long time, Huang Qionghai finally nodded and said: "Okay, elder brother, since you want to figure this out.

Whatever is going on, I won’t stop you from going to see Zhou Zhong, but for the safety of the family, you can’t just go to see Zhou Zhong directly.”

Although Huang Qionghai is Huang Zuohai's younger brother, he is now the patriarch of the family, so no matter what he does, his first consideration is the safety of the family, so he will never allow Huang Zuohai to gamble with the safety of the entire family.

Huang Zuohai also understands his brother's situation, and he has no intention of exposing his relationship with the Huang family. Even before he said the above words, he had already thought of a solid strategy in his mind. As long as he acts according to this strategy, he will see you later

No matter what happens in Zhou Zhong, it will not affect the Huang family.

A few days later, a small fleet arrived at Malacca Port, which had restored order. This fleet was carrying spices shipped from the southeast of the Nanyang Islands. It seemed that they planned to find a buyer in Malacca Port. A small fleet like this

There are many fleets in Malacca Port every day, so this fleet is not noticeable at all.

This morning, Fugui got up early as usual. He and his brother Wangcai were Zhou Zhong's most trusted servants. In addition to helping Zhou Zhong with errands, they also had to take care of Zhou Zhong's food and daily life. During this time, he had been with Zhou Zhong.

Live in a military camp.

After Fugui washed up, the eastern sky had just turned white, but Fugui had his own things to do. He immediately left the military camp and walked towards Sanbaoshan not far away, holding a

Food box. Fugui wanted to buy breakfast for Zhou Zhong, because the food in the army was very rough. It was okay to eat it occasionally, but Zhou Zhong felt unbearable if he ate it for a long time, so after he settled in Malacca, Fugui went to Sanbaoshan every day.

Buy him a meal. There is a restaurant run by Han people over there, and the Central Plains cuisine is very suitable for Zhou Zhong's appetite.

As usual, Fugui came to the busiest street in Sanbaoshan and found a large restaurant with "Zhao's Restaurant" written on it. It served a variety of breakfasts every morning, including steamed buns, steamed dumplings, porridge, pancakes, etc.

Not only the local Han people like to come here to eat, but those who are temporarily staying in the port also like to come here to have breakfast.

Fugui wanted three steamed buns, two pancakes, and three large bowls of porridge. Of course, Zhou Zhong didn't eat these alone. Fugui and his brother Wangcai also liked to eat breakfast here.

Just when Fugui put his breakfast in the food box and turned around to leave, he suddenly saw a group of people dressed as boatmen coming outside the restaurant. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but just as he passed by these people, a sudden glance came out of the corner of his eye.
