Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 242 Arrangements Clearly

After Shi Lang returned to Jinmen Island, he began to feel a little worried.His uncle Shi Fu and several family members followed Zheng Sen's army and killed Zeng De without authorization. Will Zheng Sen blame him, and will his family be hurt?

But Shi Lang quickly relaxed his mind. He was very conceited and thought to himself: "My Shi family has worked for the Zheng family for decades, starting with my uncle. I have worked hard and made great achievements. How can the young master not miss the old love?"

"What's more, I lead troops to garrison Kinmen Island. This island has a very high strategic position and cannot be lost. The young master is not a mediocre person. Naturally, he is not willing to watch Kinmen Island fall. He still needs my assistance. He will definitely not do it for a mere A man who is virtuous and foolish."

Thinking about it this way, I feel that the big deal is just some punishment, so there is no need to worry.

Shi Lang stabilized his mind, first told the generals on the island about beheading Zeng De, and tried his best to put the blame on Zeng De alone: ​​"Zeng De neglected his duties, ignored his superiors, and had ulterior motives. This general had no choice but to kill him. This matter has nothing to do with you, you just need to perform your duties, this general will plead guilty to the young master."

After appeasing the soldiers, Shi Lang went back to his study, wrote a letter carefully, and sent someone to Jilongyu.

After finishing these things, Shi Lang tried his best to rectify the island's military affairs, and continued to build and strengthen fortifications such as fortifications.

He thinks he has a good attitude and is responsible for his duties, so he will only be reprimanded or have his salary confiscated at most.

It's a pity that Shi Lang is conceited, Zheng Sen is even more conceited than him.Before Shi Lang's letter arrived at Dongfan Island, Zheng Sen had already learned of the incidents on the Penghu Islands, so he first sent his fourth uncle Zheng Hongkui to take over Zeng De's barracks and garrison the island.

Then one night, without warning, everyone in the Shi family was arrested and put in jail.

Zheng Sen came to the prison with two guards and motioned the guards to stand outside the door. He walked in alone with a basket.When he came to the cell where Shi Fu was held, he ordered the head of the cell to open the door.

"Uncle Shi, I'm here to visit you." Zheng Sen walked into the cell, took out food and drinks from the basket, and sat on the stool in front of the table.

"Brother Sen, why did you arrest us?" Shi Fu asked.

"This is a letter from your nephew Shi Lang. It was just delivered to Jilongyu Island today. Let's take a look." Zheng Sen took out a letter and handed it over.

Shi Fu received the letter, looked at it with the dim oil lamp, stood up and said: "Shi Lang killed the general without authorization, violated the military law, and he is indeed guilty. Brother Sen wants to deal with him, and I will not stop him, but the people of the Shi family have nothing to do with him. This matter has nothing to do with it, so why implicate the innocent?"

Zheng Sen didn't answer directly, but said in a roundabout way: "Uncle Shi, have you followed my father for most of your life? Do you think it's easy for the Zheng family to come to this point?"

"Being a pirate leads a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. Of course it's not easy!"

"Yes, starting a business is difficult, and keeping a business is even more difficult than starting a business. My father led you older generations to start a business, which is admirable and admirable. However, the Zheng family suffered a change, and the burden of keeping the business fell on my shoulders. Uncle Shi, If you want to keep the legacy of your ancestors, what do you think is the most important thing?"

Zheng Sen poured a glass of wine, handed it to Shi Fu himself, and continued: "In my opinion, the most important thing is to be able to convince the crowd and to be able to suppress people with evil intentions! Shi Lang is a real talent, but he is good at acting Advocating beheading the general is a thorn in my eyes."

"There is a nail in the eye, a thorn in the heart, shouldn't it be removed?"

Shi Fu was surprised: "You want to kill Shi Lang?"

Zheng Sen still did not answer directly: "In the past, there was a hero in the Tang Dynasty, named Changsun Wuji, who was the uncle of the country. He won the trust and respect of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of Tang Dynasty. Dabao. But after Li Zhi became emperor, he killed Changsun Wuji, why do you think?"

Hearing these words, Shi Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he gasped: "Brother Sen, you want to kill me too, and you want to use my head to show your prestige, don't you?"

"Li Zhi killed Changsun Wuji in order to establish his prestige and intimidate his subjects. A single head can calm people's hearts. This move is very clever!" Zheng Sen finished speaking and walked out of the cell.

At noon the next day, Shi Fu and his family members were escorted to the barracks, beheaded in front of the soldiers, and hung their heads on high poles for public display.

……

The news quickly spread to Jinmen Island, and Shi Lang was like a thunderbolt, filled with grief and indignation.He wailed loudly and cursed again and again.

After crying enough, Shi Lang locked himself in the study for a day and a night without seeing anyone.

"Brother Sen, you are so cruel!" Shi Lang gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, his nails dug into his flesh, bleeding came out.

The pain brought Shi Lang back to his sanity, and he muttered to himself, "Okay, it's very good! You don't have to be kind and blame me for being unrighteous. I should save myself a way out."

Hiding most of the generals, Shi Lang and a few confidants quietly lifted Zhu Tiangui out of the dungeon, prepared another boat for him, and planned to release him.

Zhu Tiangui observed Shi Lang's expression, and asked, "Did Zeng De trick you? Look, I'm right!"

"My family was killed by Zheng Sen!" Shi Lang pushed Zhu Tiangui onto the boat, and shouted with a gloomy face, "Get out, get out, don't wait for me to repent!"

"What?" Zhu Tiangui shouted, but Shi Lang had already stepped off the boat.

Zhu Tiangui returned to Zhenhaiwei, met the Holy Majesty, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, your plan is complete, Shi Lang and Zheng Sen have turned their faces!"

"Tell me in detail." Li Cunming seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, and was very calm.

Zhu Tiangui said: "When Shi Lang let me come back, he didn't say anything clearly, he only said that his family members were killed by Zheng Sen. But I inquired about it, and it turns out that Shi Lang went to the Penghu Islands a few days ago and committed suicide without authorization. De, presumably the reason for his falling out with Zheng Sen came from this."

"It should be like this!" Huang Degong stood up and said excitedly, "Your Majesty is truly a god. After fighting for so many years, this is the first time I know that prostitutes can be used as weapons. I am so impressed!"

"Those prostitutes are just condiments. The real surprises are Zhu Aiqing and Hei Mudan. Heh, Hei Mudan has done a great job!" Li Cunming laughed.

Xia Wanchun said: "Anyway, this situation was caused by His Majesty's schemes. His Majesty has arranged Shi Lang clearly. Shi Lang's intention to let Zongbing Zhu go could not be more clear. He intends to return to my Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, there is no chance." If you fail, I ask for orders to recruit Shi Lang."

Li Cunming smiled and said: "Xia Wanchun, you are progressing faster and faster, I am very relieved! It is just this one credit, I am reluctant to let you take it all alone, I want to go along with the flow and personally recruit Shi Lang, you are not allowed to take the credit. "

Everyone present laughed, Huang Degong said: "Follow Your Majesty, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to make meritorious deeds?"

Xia Wanchun also said with a smile: "I dare not covet the merits of heaven, I understand your Majesty's thoughts, you value Shi Lang's talent very much, you must give him a big face, let him be convinced."

Li Cunming stood up and gave the order: "Duke Yasukuni, order all the warships to set off and go to Jinmen Island. Remember, the Dafu ship will be decorated with lanterns and festoons, bring the musicians, and the atmosphere will be brightened!"
