Chapter 1997 Wu Shouxu
Last time, the Japanese pirates rushed to Hangzhou City and kidnapped them.
It scared Hangzhou officials and wealthy businessmen very much.
They reported to the emperor one after another, asking the emperor to send troops to eliminate the Japanese pirates.
However, officials in the court took this to participate in the report of the Governor-General of Liangzhe, Wu Shouxu, to fight against the Japanese, and asked the emperor to severely punish him.
It was because of his unfavorable resistance to the Japanese pirates that the Japanese pirates dared to go to the city to commit crimes blatantly.
Fortunately, the group of Japanese pirates were found and slaughtered by the Jinyiwei, which had little impact.
Zhou Hao also received verbal praise from the emperor, and he would remember this skill.
Yuan Jinxia said speechlessly: "Isn't this nonsense? If it weren't for Wu Shouxu and Yu Dayong, Hangzhou City would have fallen long ago."
Yu Dayong is a front-line general, and his troops are trained by themselves. It is also quite sharp to be called the Yu family army to fight against Japanese pirates.
Zhou Hao sneered: "There should be many people from the strict party here to take the opportunity to fan the flames!"
Yuan Jinxia: "By the way, sir, Wu Shouxu tricked Wang Zhi into surrendering, and then went back on his word and imprisoned him. Why is that?"
Wang Zhi is Mao Haifeng's adoptive father and the leader of the former Japanese pirates Mao Haifeng.
Zhou Hao shook his head: "There are rumors outside that Wu Shouxu is not trustworthy. In fact, they don't know that it was all done by the idle ministers of the court. Since Wang Zhi came ashore, Wu Shouxu wrote a letter to the court to not kill him. Unexpectedly, he was impeached by the minister to accept bribes and shelter the Japanese pirates. In desperation, Wu Shouxu had to imprison Wang Zhi. Later, the Japanese pirates rebounded, and the emperor was displeased and ordered a thorough investigation. At that time, Wu Shouxu almost went to prison."
Yuan Jinxia: "This is too shameless, right? No wonder people say that literati are insidious, but they are indeed not as honest as martial artists."
Zhou Hao laughed and said, "If a warrior becomes insidious, he is better than a literati. In fact, in my opinion, Wu Shouxu is considered to be unfavorable. He took the initiative to entrust Wang Zhi, but he did not have the emperor's imperial edict. When Wang Zhi got ashore, he came to ask the court not to kill Wang Zhi. Those who are interested will naturally not miss the opportunity to impeach."
It can only be said that these ministers in the court did not use their intelligence in the right place.
All of them are used to form cliques and fight for private parties.
Cen Fu walked in and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, Lord Wu sent someone to invite you into the mansion, saying that there is something important to talk about."
Wu Shouxu faced very serious things in the officialdom. Yan Dang wanted to deal with him, but he was now looking for a backer.
Zhou Hao nodded: "I understand."
Cen Fu retreated.
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "This Wu Shouxu is so calm. I thought he would have to look for me when he first came to Hangzhou."
Yuan Jinxia was stunned and said, "Sir, you knew he was looking for you for a long time? Wu Shouxu and Liao Wenhua have a close relationship. Liao Wenhua is Yan Song's adopted son. Then Wu Shouxu should be the Yan family faction. Why did the Yan Party target him?"
Zhou Hao: "Wu Shouxu, the governor, is indeed highly recommended by Liao Wenhua. I didn't say that last time. Liao Wenhua was so proud that he went over Yan Song and used the wine of flowers to please the emperor. Yan Song was fine, but Yan Shifan would never let him go. This time, Lord Xu and Xiaolan dealt with Liao Wenhua, Yan Dang would not help. Maybe Wu Shouxu felt something and was in a hurry to change his backer."
-------------------------------------
Zhou Hao and Yuan Jinxia came to the gate of the Governor's Mansion in casual clothes.
But I found a pitch-black coffin at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Wu Shouxu, wearing a red official robe, ran out all the way, making people open the coffin and almost fainted.
It seems that he is his closest relative.
At this time, Wu Shouxu saw Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Wu, Lu Yi, the assistant minister of the Jinyiwei, was invited to visit!"
Wu Shouxu looked sad and said with a fist: "I have met the Zhongyong Uncle! I have forgiven for not being well received by Wu. I originally planned to invite you to visit the mansion, but now..."
Zhou Hao understood that the coffin was sent by someone else, and Wu Shouxu was unaware of it before it was delivered.
"I'm sorry to ask, who is in this coffin?" Zhou Hao said.
Wu Shouxu said sadly: "It's my adopted son. When he heard that I imprisoned Wang Zhi, he brutally killed my adopted son. He just wanted to revenge me!"
Revenge? Zhou Hao felt that he was angering Wu Shouxu and asked him to kill Wang Zhi as soon as possible (PS: The previous timeline was wrong, Wang Zhi was not dead at this time! The modification must be edited, and everyone knows it.)
Yuan Jinxia spoke: "Who are you talking about? Mao Haifeng?"
It's Mao Haifeng, and there is no one else except him.
Wu Shouxu ignored Yuan Jinxia, looked at Zhou Hao with fists and said, "I'm afraid Wu will not have the energy to entertain you today. Zhongyong, we will talk about it later!"
Zhou Hao nodded and gave a greeting.
Wu Shouxu called someone to carry away the coffin of his adopted son and buried him.
Yuan Jinxia wanted to say something, but Zhou Hao held her hand and pinched it gently.
She shut her mouth honestly.
Wu Shouxu turned around and went home with a sad look on his face. It seemed that he was really sad.
Everyone left, Yuan Jinxia squatted down and looked at the location where the coffin was parked, where there was a pool of blood.
A horseshoe fell on the ground.
She picked up the horseshoe and the iron track: "Sir, I have been dead for no more than three hours. The coffin was not carried over, but pushed down from the carriage. The end of the coffin has the largest amount of blood, and there are deeper marks on the ground. Judging from the blood volume, it should be that the person was dragged over as soon as he died. With the distance of the carriage, the murderous place is no more than two miles away. Do we want to go and take a look?"
Zhou Hao: "Let's go!"
......
Yuan Jinxia followed the imprints of the carriage, and after about half an hour, he arrived at a small fishing village.
The architectural style of this fishing village is a bit strange, and Zhou Hao thinks it is a bit Japanese.
There were children and women playing on the street, but when they saw Zhou Hao and Yuan Jinxia enter the village, they were vigilantly holding the children into the house.
And locked the door from the inside.
Zhou Hao was observing the surrounding environment. A crack was opened at the doors of several houses, and the people inside were looking at them with malicious eyes.
Zhou Hao felt the murderous aura. The reason why the Japanese pirates were powerful was because they burned, killed, looted, and experienced many battles.
Even if you don’t have any profound internal strength, when you swing your sword tens of thousands of times, you will still become a master of kendo and can still practice infinitely.
Many Ming soldiers train less on weekdays, and it is difficult to get along with such people.
However, Yu Dayong's Yu Family Army and Qi Weigang's Qi Family Army are powerful, and they are all achieved through hard training.
Therefore, the Japanese pirates Zhou Hao met were at the lowest level as a third-rate master.
But in front of him, a third-rate master is just a guy who can kill him!
"Sir, it's strange. The traces of the carriage disappeared here!" Yuan Jinxia was still holding the horseshoe in her hand and searching for traces on the ground.
Zhou Hao grabbed her hand and said lightly: "If you have murderous aura, be careful!"
As he said, two long swords suddenly appeared in his hand and handed them to Yuan Jinxia one.
These swords were all found from Sima's mansion, and they were all good swords with one in a thousand and a broken hair.
Sima Chang'an used good ore to refine springs, but he never forgot to build weapons.
However, it seems that there are collections in his arsenal, and he can't use them normally.
When Zhou Hao went to search the house, he found that it was covered with dust.
He took a lot of it without hesitation and put it in his storage space.
Use it now.
They were visiting the Governor's Office today, so they would definitely not bring weapons.
Yuan Jinxia knew that Zhou Hao had no say anything, so she took the sword and pulled it out and looked around vigilantly.
But the Japanese pirates hiding in the house were shocked!
"Nani? Kateva Road is also given to you!" A low voice came from the Japanese.
