The red invitation, golden gold-plated big characters. The content on it is very common, nothing more than a person’s birthday, especially in a certain place, with a little wine, please come here, etc.

But the name on the invitation is a bit extraordinary, Golden Travel.

If it weren't for systematic research on the Fujian officialdom, Jiang Xia wouldn't have understood the meaning behind this name.

Huang Jinyou was not from the Fujian officialdom, but he had another wife named Yang Lianyu. Yang Lianyu had an older sister named Yang Yanting, and Yang Yanting's husband was Jiang Wenqiang, the left governor of Fujian Chengxuan Government and the Ministry of Education.

In this way, we can basically understand the identity of Golden You. It is obvious that he is Jiang Wenqiang. Or the Fujian official system represented by Jiang Wenqiang, and the spokesperson in front of Fuzhou.

There are still five days left before Jiang Wenqiang's birthday, so Jiang Xia temporarily stopped during these five days and no longer sent people to rob those pirate ships.

The pirates who were robbed by Jiang Xia before have surprisingly stopped causing trouble for Jiang Xia these days.

During the five days, Jiang Xia was idle, so he simply pulled out all the pirates from Cangshan Island for training.

On the third day, Jiang Xia received a message from Qiu Wenshi that the martial arts lecturers were about to arrive in Fuzhou soon.

Jiang Xia ordered Han Mufeng to return the message and ask them to settle in Cangshan Island first.

Fuzhou, Manfu Building.

A very tacky name, but it is a place that everyone in Fuzhou wants to go in.

It’s not that Manfu Building is amazing, but because this Manfu Building is the headquarters of the Jinghai Chamber of Commerce. All those who can enter it are from the Jinghai Chamber of Commerce.

In the past, when I passed by the door, I could always vaguely hear the sound of piano music and the laughter of a woman. But today it seemed very quiet, which made the vendors who set up stalls across the street of Manfulou feel a little uncomfortable.

The lobby on the second floor of Manfu Building is usually used to watch the singer and dancer perform, but now there are thirty-five chairs.

The Jinghai Chamber of Commerce included 41 people. Today, thirty-five people came, which shows that there was an important matter to discuss.

Thirty-five chairs, thirty-four were all over the crowd, and the remaining one was still empty.

The chair was placed in the middle of the hall, obviously left by the most noble person.

Everyone was sitting in the chairs waiting, without showing any impatient expression. Occasionally, a few people were talking to each other, but they tried to lower their voices.

Suddenly, a loud voice shouted: "Mr. Jiang is here."

Hearing this voice, everyone immediately stood up.

A middle-aged man with a big belly, two beards and fat heads and ears walked into the hall. The middle-aged man walked towards the empty position in the middle and turned around.

The thirty-four people standing saluted to the middle-aged man and said, "See sir."

The middle-aged man pressed his hands and said, "Please sit down everyone."

After saying that, he sat down first. When everyone saw that he had taken the seat, they sat down one after another.

Who else will be treated like this in Fujian except Jiang Wenqiang?

After Jiang Wenqiang sat down, he leaned his body slightly back on the back of the chair, and then his eyes swept across everyone.

Anyone who was swept by his eyes would subconsciously straighten his back and try to maintain a solemn expression on his face.

Jiang Wenqiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know you are very busy, and everyone is a person who fights gold every day. Therefore, I am really unfair to let you take the time to come here to gather in your busy schedule."

"My lord is too arrogant and too polite. I have always been with the care of my master, so I am today. I just came to this Manfu Building in a word. Even if I go to Daoshan and go down the oil pan, who would refuse?"

The thin middle-aged man sitting under Jiang Wenqiang's right hand said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Boss Ma said it right. I'll let you send me a message, sir," everyone agreed.

Jiang Wenqiang waved his hand, and everyone immediately stopped talking and did not speak.

Jiang Wenqiang said: "You are all well-informed people, and some things may have heard the news. I'm summoning you to discuss the matter of opening up Fujian customs trade in the prime minister Jiang Xia."

"Everyone knows that Fujian is not as good as Jiangnan and the capital. Apart from being able to earn some scattered silver with a vast ocean, there is basically no other way to make money.

Over the years, we have worked hard to make the cake bigger and bigger, so that everyone can eat a lot. However, at this order from the court, it was said that customs trade would be opened.

By then, all merchants from all directions from Daming will flock to our Fujian and go to trade with people from overseas countries. Not to mention everyone here, even if you are the official, it will be a question whether you can have enough food."

"Sir, we have heard a little about this. What should we do? The adults say that.

Although the priest general is not young, the people from our Jinghai Chamber of Commerce will not be afraid of him. If he doesn't come and provoke us, that would be fine. If he comes, hum."

"Come on, I will definitely come." Jiang Wenqiang said: "Now the Jiang Zaizhi is already rushing to Fujian, and Huawenshan, who is traveling to Fujian merchant ships, is accompanying him.

Today I call you to come and ask you for a clear letter. If the court is really preparing to open customs trade, do you really dare to do such a great thing with me?"

"Sir, this is nothing to say. As long as you give me an order, we dare to rebel against this dog court. Then we will support you to become the king of Fujian and be a local emperor."

"Okay, since you have such a heart, I will tell you my plan today." Jiang Wenqiang clapped his hands, and immediately walked into the hall with a group of men with hair shaved into a half-moon shape, wearing single clothes on the upper body, naked on the lower body, only wearing a crotch on the lower body, wearing wooden clogs, and holding a samurai knife on their waists.

With such a distinct image, you can tell at a glance that it is a Japanese pirate.

Seeing these Japanese pirates, none of the people at the Jinghai Chamber of Commerce showed surprise or nervousness, but were calm and very casual.

Several of the people who were close to Jiang Wenqiang also bowed to the man who was the leader of the Japanese pirates and said, "Mr. Ikawa."

As soon as he heard this, Mr. Ikawa, the rest of the people from the Jinghai Chamber of Commerce also understood that this was probably the legendary president of Fujiwara Club and Ikawa Matsushita.

Most of the people at the Jinghai Chamber of Commerce have cooperated with Japanese pirates in this way or that. At the same time, they also know that the Japanese pirates in Fuzhou, except for some sporadic organizations, are managed by Fujiwara Club.

However, few people have met the president of Fujiwara Club, but they only know that he has a close relationship with some major officials in Fujian.

I saw it today and found that the president of Fujiwara Club looked no different from other Japanese pirates, both of which were short and short trunk legs.

Jiang Wenqiang stood up and said, "I will introduce to you, this one is the famous president of Fujiwara Club, Mr. Ikawa Matsushita. Come here, I'll be there, see the seat."

Soon, several servants from Manfulou brought chairs to Ikawa Matsushita and the others. After Ikawa Matsushita took his seat, Jiang Wenqiang sat back on the chair and said, "You are all responsible and courageous people, but now is not a good time to be independent. If you want to destroy Jiang Xia, you don't have to take such a risk.

I have already discussed with Mr. Ikawa. Only 200,000 taels of silver were needed. Mr. Ikawa helped us kill Jiangxia to prevent future troubles. Now it depends on what you mean. The 200,000 taels were distributed to everyone, and the silver was not much."

"No problem, sir."

"Even if I told you, I will make a special trip to inform us about this matter. I am so kind."

"Okay, then I wish us a successful kill of Jiangxia and continue to make a fortune." Jiang Wenqiang laughed and clapped his hands and said, "Come, come to the banquet, sing and dance."

The quiet Manfu Building suddenly became lively again.

The sound continued until night fell without stopping

Until midnight, there were basically no people on the streets outside Manfu Building. As late as night, few people in Fuzhou would walk on the streets.

Because if you encounter Japanese pirates at night, you will probably die somehow.

After eating and drinking, Ikawa Matsushita, who had fun, walked out of Manfu Building with seven or eight subordinates. Just as he was about to walk to the dock where he parked his boat, Ikawa Matsushita suddenly found someone standing in front of him.

This man was wearing a straight-collared shirt, a long skirt on his lower body, and a hat, and holding a long samurai sword in his hand.

When Ikawa Matsushita saw that it was clearly dressed as a Japanese samurai.

He asked in Japanese: "Who are you?"

The man just replied in Japanese lightly: "Don't ask me who I am, please fight me in the name of a samurai!"

Ikawa frowned slightly and waved his right hand.

The subordinates beside him pulled out the samurai sword together, held the hilt of the knife in both hands and rushed towards the Japanese warrior.

The Japanese warrior did not move at first, until a subordinate of Ikawa Matsushita approached him, he drew out his long sword and then put it back.

Drawing the sword and retracting the sword, these two actions were only completed in an instant. If it weren't for a flash of cold light, no one would have been sure that this Japanese warrior had really drawn the sword.

The samurai bypassed the man who attacked him and walked towards Ikawa Matsushita. Until the samurai had already walked three steps away, the man fell to the ground and did not move. It was obvious that he was dead.

"Master!" Ikawa Matsushita said in his heart.

When ordinary people see the warrior taking action just now, they may only think that he was drawing his sword and retracting his sword very quickly, but Ikawa Matsushita noticed that the warrior drew his sword and retracting his sword, but there was no sound at all.

Only when you swing your sword, there is a slight sound of slashing the wind.

Ikawa Matsushita frowned and asked, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
