Chapter 674
Upon hearing He Jin's words, Mr. Li conceived the possibility at that time: Hearing that this kid is in the capital, if he captures Jin Yingji this time, although there is a slap in the face, it is a great achievement after all.
More importantly,... this kid seems to be shameless, and it can be explained that the agreement was signed before was to paralyze Jin Yingji.
But in this way, although my life can be saved, the maritime industry will be completely completed.
And only captured Jin Yingji, the pirates under her will inevitably take revenge. He Jin is likely to be in no danger, and she may have to move her family...
After weighing the pros and cons, Mr. Li immediately spoke: "Mr. He, no one can stand without trust. Since he has signed an agreement with the owner of the gold ship, he should fulfill his promise."
"But if I fulfill my promise, I will be attacked by the whole court, and my career may be ruined. On the contrary, if I fail to fulfill my promise, I will be safe... At most, others will scold me for being shameless, but the problem is that I have never thought that this face is of use."
After saying this, he couldn't help but glance at Jin Yingji.
Jin Yingji's face was undoubtedly ugly at this time. Of course, she also thought that He Jin would be such a ruthless person, but unexpectedly things would come so quickly.
Thinking about my previous love for this young man, I felt even more stupid.
At this time, she stubbornly pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing this, Mr. Li was even more sad and frightened, and almost begged He Jin and said, "Mr. He, what should we pay attention to in life at least!"
"We haven't discussed it before. We asked the owner of the Golden Ship to come here just to discuss how to kill the pirates, recover the cargo ship, and make up for this mistake. How can you do all the tricks and take the blame for me?"
"Well, Mr. Li's words are reasonable." He Jin's expression was a little ashamed when he heard this.
But just when Mr. Li thought that things were going to turn around again, this shameless thing turned against each other and said, "But I regret it now...and think about it, I am an official, you are either a civilian or a thief. It's too simple to just rub it flat and round."
It was not until this sentence came to my ears that Jin Yingji was completely disappointed with He Jin.
Looking at the anxious and heartbroken old man Li, she slowly stood up and said the first sentence: "Mr. Li, you have been cheated, I don't blame you."
Then he turned to He Jin and said in anger and desolate manner: "Mr. He is the little girl who is blind and is destined to have this disaster. But can you please give me some pleasure if the little girl is determined to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and has not made any rebellion..."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jin suddenly bounced the imperial chamber of the Japanese sword in his hand. The cold light shone like a pool of autumn water, which immediately reflected the shocked eyes of Mr. Li, and the beautiful face of Jin Yingji closing her eyes and waiting for death.
He Jin then held the knife in his hand, and the knife light flashed and put it on Jin Yingji's neck, sarcastically: "Hmph, you are still pretending to be a white lotus. Do you really think I don't know those thoughts?"
"I signed an agreement with a foolish boy in the court, and only provided the fleet's manpower, money, combat power, etc., but did not inform the place where the entrenched place was. Then I borrowed the hands of the court and found Liu Crook's hiding place to annihilate it in one fell swoop."
"If you can delay the recruitment matter, you can still hide back to your nest when you can't... The Ming Dynasty court was played with by you, a woman, and I really don't know where you got the courage!"
As soon as he said this, Mr. Li looked at Jin Yingji in disbelief and said, "Master Jin Ship, you!"
"What do I do?" Since He Jin saw through his mind, Jin Yingji didn't intend to hide it. Instead, she said frankly: "Mr. Li, don't laugh at him for fifty steps. If Lord He hadn't been anxious, how could you tell the secret of the Chamber of Commerce? You and I are just a bird of a feather, what qualifications are there to doubt the little girl?"
"Old, I...ah." Mr. Li had nothing to say now and said regretfully: "What the owner of the Jin ship said is right. When he heard the news that the court was about to open the sea, I was really excited to sleep all night and worshiped the family temple for three days. Thank God for opening his eyes and the court's wiseness."
"But with Lord He's arrival, all merchants were trying to expand their business openly and secretly, and I couldn't help but think about taking advantage of the situation to make the industry a step further. As a result, one wrong step was wrong. The agency was too smart to plot, and in the end, he was too hasty and he paid himself..."
When He Jin saw the picture, Mr. Li realized that he had no power to fight back at all. He could only crawl down on his old body and beg He Jin sincerely: "Mr. He, I firmly believe that you still have the common people in your heart. As long as you can continue to open the sea this time, I would rather pay any price."
He Jin glanced at Mr. Li indifferently and said, "Mr. Li, you said these are useless. The one who can decide to open the sea now is the golden ship owner in front of you, not you."
When Mr. Li heard this, he suddenly realized that He Jin didn't really want to take Jin Yingji to punish him, and he still had a trace of expectation in his heart.
"Then, I wonder what Lord He has to ask for?"
"Didn't the agreement agree that his fleet is obliged to protect the Ming merchant ship? Since something happened this time, his fleet will be dispatched immediately to fulfill the promise."
"In this way, although Haicheng lost a cargo ship, at least I also persuaded a pirate. If you compare your merits and demerits, you can find someone to operate it from it, which is a thing of the past..."
"Imagination!" Unexpectedly, He Jin and Mr. Li were thinking very beautifully, but Jin Yingji sneered and said, "I want my subordinates to do things for you. I really have a good plan!"
"My father asked the government to give us a way out and let us surrender to the court. But what we got was not encirclement and suppression again and again! Anyway, you officials are used to being untrustworthy. Even if I die in front of you, I will not work hard for you again and again!"
"Ha..." He Jin suddenly laughed, took back the Japanese sword, and said, "Sure enough, I have cheated it out. The owner of the Golden Ship, you really treat me as a fool."
Mr. Li looked at He Jin's reaction and was puzzled at the time: "Sir, you?"
"What do I do?" He Jin continued to smile and said, "I am such a wise and foolish person. If I am not so fake and stupid, how can you relax your vigilance and be grabbed by me by the fox's tail?"
"Mr. He, don't be content with your heart." Since this has been said, Jin Yingji didn't want to hide at all and said, "I'm not hiding it. It's always my father's wish to surrender to the court. As a man who was born without knowing his roots, I don't understand my father's obsession at all."
"But what I know is that he gave a referee more than 10,000 taels of silver and wrote countless letters. But as a result, his father was deceived to come ashore and was surrounded and killed by the court. After escaping by chance, he was still the abandoned people of the Celestial Empire and the traitor whom you called!
Speaking of this, Jin Yingji couldn't help but smile coldly, but shed tears in her face, and continued: "On the contrary, the Promoter has been promoted all the way. In the end, she can't forget the fat Zhangzhou Prefecture. She tried her best to transfer her back to the prefect here to be the prefect!"
"Prince?..." He Jin was a little dumbfounded at the time and said, "What you are talking about is the Prefect Yao who looks harmless and has always been in love with Mr. Li?"
Then Mr. Li's face became weird and said resentfully: "Mr. He, he just looks harmless, but in fact he is more greedy than you. Our chamber of commerce has been enduring his exploitation and has to offer him at least 5,000 taels of silver every year!"
"Oh...that is to say, you are all fooled by him. When people were powerless and powerless, they were paving the way with ill-gotten wealth while taking over the smuggling trade. Then they became the prefect and transformed into a protective umbrella for smuggling trade?"
He Jin was shocked when he heard this, clapped his hands and exclaimed: "It's amazing, no wonder he is the prefect, one of you is a civilian and the other is a thief..."
He heard He Jin's comments, Mr. Li and Jin Yingji looked at each other and wanted to refute. But when they were on the verge of words, they didn't know what to say.
Then He Jin held up his chin and smiled and made a suggestion: "If I could help you get rid of this Yao prefect, will you devote yourself to doing business with me?"
Mr. Li and Jin Yingji looked at each other again, both of whom were interested.
But before they agreed, He Jin repented again and said, "Hi... I haven't finished my business yet, what side plot should I do? Forget it, I just pretended that I didn't say anything."
"you!......"
