Chapter 179: The fish died and the net broke

At this time, Lu Wenjie saw the boy in front of him laughing. His smile looked very sincere, like an innocent boy, but it made Lu Wenjie feel no pleasure at all.

But Ye Chunqiu continued, "And I have a habit, that is, when I want to fish, no one can beat me, and I don't promise anyone. In this Ming Dynasty, even a piece of paper cannot go into the sea, especially some criminals, Lord Lu, I hope you can understand that in any place with salt water, whoever dares to break the rules of the court and the major affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion will not follow. If necessary, I will turn against others. If necessary, I will even kill people. Ye Chunqiu killed many people, not nearly as many as hundreds or thousands of people have fallen to the ground."

Lu Wenjie was furious and could not have expected Ye Chunqiu to threaten so nakedly. But he could not refute, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Lu Wenjie's face that curled his smile and stood up slowly, saying, "I will not pursue the matter of Qinhuangdao anymore. Since it has passed, I will forget it for the sake of my fellow countrymen. But if there is another time, things will not be so simple." After Ye Chunqiu said that, he bowed deeply to Lu Wenjie and said, "Gold, Lord Lu wants not only to send back three thousand taels of gold, but Ye can also offer another three thousand taels of gold to the palace. But the matter should be explained clearly. Does Lord Lu understand what Ye mean now?"

Lu Wenjie's face was gloomy and couldn't help but say, "Duke Zhenguo, this fisherman has been fighting for several lifetimes. If you want to rob, it's not easy to get involved in such a big deal? Lu is just a small character who runs errands. You tell Lu these words, Lu is just a message to others, but... it must be clear that the court has suppressed more and more enemies in the past, but Zhenguo must be careful. Don't let the fisherman not beat him, but he is rolled up by big waves. The sea is not as good as the capital. If one wave is hit, it will be doomed."

"Is that true?" Ye Chunqiu looked straight into Lu Wenjie's eyes, looking fearless, and said, "Let's wait and see."

Although Lu Wenjie was furious, he still gave Ye Chunqiu a whisper with a dry smile; "Lu said goodbye." After that, he hurriedly left.

After watching Lu Wenjie leave, Ye Chunqiu knew very well that once he said something, neither side had any room for a turnaround.

But then again, all this is what he said. From the beginning, he didn't want fish, he was a fisherman, and he was definitely not a profiteer who enjoyed his achievements.

What's more, why should we share this huge benefit with these people?

As for Lu Wenjie's attitude, it is worthy of fun. He threatened Ye Chunqiu twice. The first time was to tell Ye Chunqiu directly that he was just a errand runner. So... who else is the real person behind the scenes? Only God knows.

But since this person can let the minister run errands, his status will never be below Ye Chunqiu.

The second threat is to suppress the pirates. Since it is a pirate, it must be a pirate. Who else is the pirates of the Ming Dynasty except the Japanese pirates? This is telling Ye Chunqiu that if he is forced to do something urgent, he will be defeated by the death.

Ye Chunqiu smiled, disregarding his concern, but his eyes fell on Ye Song who had been listening, and said, "Second Uncle, have you heard everything you said just now?"

Ye Song said: "I heard it clearly."

"Then..." Ye Chunqiu said: "Uncle Second should know what to do, right?"

Ye Song said: "Immediately inquire about the news, try my best to find out the people who are usually close to Lu Wenjie, and try to learn about some of the Japanese pirates at sea from certain people, or even the Japanese affairs. You can also take the opportunity to find out. The Jinyiwei can ask Lord Qian and Juncai to contact some fellow villagers in Ningbo. There will always be people who know more or less about the inside story."

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "Then I'll be fine with my second uncle, be careful."

After having a card with Lu Wenjie, Ye Chunqiu was relaxed. He took a moment of rest and hurried to see Xiaohai.

Holding the washed and full little guy in his hand, Ye Chunqiu felt a little warm in his heart. This little guy is the person he should protect.

Xiaohai was sleeping soundly, and Ye Chunqiu tiptoed over to her wet nurse and went to see Wang Jingchu.

Wang Jingchu was weak and tired, but she had woken up and was carefully feeding her rice porridge.

Ye Chunqiu sat aside, looking at her with a gentle and smiling face.

Wang Jingchu seemed a little embarrassed, her face turned a little brighter, and she said angrily: "Why don't you go to meet guests?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "Ten thousand guests are not as good as Jingchu, well, Xiaohai."

Maggie's hands trembled, the spoon in her hand trembled, almost spilling out the porridge, and said playfully: "I really envy my grandfather."

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but say, "What do you envy?"

Maggie said: "I envy my grandfather for having such a clever mouth. Look, people outside can't compare to my grandfather's tongue with ten thousand mouths."

Ye Chunqiu said with a little bit of anger: "What are you saying? I am from the heart."

This made Wang Jingchu laugh, and Ye Chunqiu sighed and said, "Oh, Your Majesty always says I'm too serious, you guys, they're all arranged and said I'm sloppy!"

Wang Jingchu smiled again. She had eaten half a bowl of porridge and had not fully recovered. She didn't want to eat anymore, so she asked Maggie to remove the food and asked the wet nurse to carry the child over.

According to Wang Jingchu's wishes, the wet nurse placed Xiaohai next to Wang Jingchu, while Wang Jingchu looked at Xiaohai with a gentle face. Ye Chunqiu looked at them and their mother and son, and his heart softened. The expression on her face became softer. She said to them, "Our family will definitely live a happy life in the future!"

……………………

After spending a few days at home, Ye Chunqiu had to get busy again. The first thing he did was to rush to Tianjin Wei.

The naval guns of the research institute have finally been finalized, and now they have started to take craftsmen to the Tianjin Wei wharf for trial installation.

How could Ye Chunqiu let go of such an important thing? He said goodbye to his wife and children, and hurried to Tianjin Wei. When he arrived at the port, the craftsmen had already loaded the cannons onto a small boat, and then sent them to the ship moored a few miles away. The sailors above put down the cables. The craftsmen at the bottom tied the cannon to a strong rope, and then the sailors above shouted and pulled the cannon up.

Ye Chunqiu also held the rope ladder to the deck, and the craftsmen were quite excited at this time. After all, it was a month or two. The time for the real test results was up. They commanded the sailors to move the artillery to the artillery cabin. The artillery cabin was under the deck and was in the hull. The original artillery here had been withdrawn long ago, so the artillery cabin seemed particularly empty.
