My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 392 The False Monk

"My son, the grandson said that he received news that Japanese pirates might raid Putuo Island. Is this true?"

On the way, Cao Lei asked Zhu Zhanhe worriedly.

In case the news Zhu Zhanji got was true, but Zhu Zhanhe didn't listen to Zhu Zhanji's words and transferred Dinghaiwei to do other things. If Zhu Zhanji reported this to the capital, Zhu Zhanhe might also be punished. punish.

"How can it be so easy to have definite news about Japanese pirates?"

Zhu Zhanhe said with a sneer.

Zhu Zhanji has been investigating Japanese pirates recently. Although he has used a lot of manpower, the sea is vast. Finding Japanese pirates at sea is not as easy as finding a needle in the sea. What's more, rumors about Japanese pirates have been flying all over the sky recently. Yes, that's why Zhu Zhanhe didn't believe that Zhu Zhanji would have the exact news of the Japanese pirates' raid.

What's more, Zhu Zhanhe believed in his own judgment, there must be something wrong with those monks on Xuanshan Island, and they might be the Japanese pirates they were looking for, so as long as those monks are caught, everything will be solved.

Zhou Zhong commanded Dinghaiwei's navy, and soon arrived at Xuanshan Island. People from Dongchang also took a small boat to monitor around the island. When they saw a navy warship, they immediately reported it.

"Are all the monks on the island returning to the monastery?"

Zhu Zhanhe received the supervisor in charge of monitoring, and asked immediately.

"They are all in the temple, and no one left during the period!"

The monitoring file head replied.

"very good!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Zhou Zhong beside him.

"General Zhou, it's up to you next!"

"Don't worry, son!"

Clasping his fists, Zhou Zhong immediately commanded the warship to surround Xuanshan Island.

In fact, it is a bit exaggerated to say that the encirclement is a bit exaggerated. Although Xuanshan Island is not big, it has a radius of more than ten miles. Fleeing, you can step forward to intercept in time.

After assigning the task, Zhou Zhong personally led a team, landed on Xuanshan Island, and went straight to Xuanshan Temple.

Xuanshan Island is mountainous, with cliffs everywhere, and Xuanshan Temple is built on the largest cliff on the island, and the terrain is very dangerous.

Zhou Zhong's men had just arrived at the foot of the mountain, when suddenly a rain of arrows flew out from behind a rock, and someone unexpectedly attacked them.

This made Zhou Zhong both surprised and happy. Someone sneaked up on them, which meant that they had found a place.

"kill!"

Although Zhou Zhong was caught off guard, they were well equipped, did not cause too many casualties, and quickly organized a counterattack.

There were not many people who attacked, they were probably just guards at the foot of the mountain, and they were quickly surrounded by Zhou Zhong's men, most of them were killed, and a few were captured alive.

"A group of fake monks! It really is you!"

When Zhou Zhong saw the sneak attacker, he also said angrily.

I saw that this group of people were all bald, and a few were still wearing monk clothes, obviously they were monks in the temple.

"Pass on my order, enter the Xuanshan Temple and try to catch as many alive as possible!"

Zhou Zhong gave an order, and all the officers and men under his command were on alert and rushed all the way to Xuanshan Temple.

Sure enough, in the process of going up the mountain, they encountered several groups of fake monks who intercepted them, but how could they be the opponents of the imperial army?Even with the help of the dangerous terrain, it only delayed the army for a little time, and it was quickly wiped out.

But when Zhou Zhong and the others rushed into the Xuanshan Temple, they found that the temple was empty, and in the wing room behind the temple, they found many Japanese pirates' clothes, weapons, and most importantly, wigs.

"It really is this group of people!"

Zhou Zhong sneered, although there was no one in the temple, he was not in a panic. After all, Dongchang had already found out that there was a road behind the temple, which could lead directly to the sea. Those who blocked them just now were also fleeing for the monks in the temple. To gain time.

It's a pity that Zhou Zhong had already laid a net of heaven and earth, and Zhu Zhanhe stayed in the sea himself, so it was impossible for him to escape.

Sure enough, at the same time Zhou Zhong and the others charged into Xuanshan Temple, dozens of small boats commonly used by Japanese pirates rushed out from a hidden bay. There was a mountain road in this bay that could lead directly to Xuanshan Temple.

As soon as the group of fake monks left the bay, they were immediately intercepted by naval warships, and then a naval battle broke out between the two sides. Zhu Zhanhe personally took command from the rear, and naval warships from other directions also rushed over. Surround these dozens of boats.

Seeing that he had already fallen into the siege, any resistance would be a dead end, so the leading fake monk was very decisive and immediately dropped his weapon and surrendered.

After a while, a leading monk was tied up and sent to Zhu Zhanhe's boat.

This monk is short in stature, but very strong, and has a rather vicious appearance. He looks a bit like a Japanese pirate, but when he faces Zhu Zhanhe, he has a look of fear. After all, he knows that he has fallen into In the hands of the government, he must die.

"What is your name?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked in a deep voice.

"Lin...Lin Lishi."

The fake monk shook his body and replied with a face full of horror.

"The members of the Xiangshanlin family are really courageous!"

Zhu Zhanhe sneered.

Hearing that the other party revealed his background, Lin Lishi's face turned pale with fright. He was indeed from the Xiangshan Lin family, and his wife and children were all in Xiangshan County.

"Let's talk, are you pretending to be the Japanese pirates who robbed Pingshan Island and Xiangshan County before?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked straightforwardly.

"me……"

Although this Lin Lishi looked fierce, he was actually a guy who was strong on the outside and capable on the inside. At this time, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled and he was completely speechless.

At this moment, Zhou Zhong also arrived by boat and immediately reported to Zhu Zhanhe: "My lord, we found clothes, weapons and wigs pretending to be Japanese pirates in the temple. We can be sure that they are Japanese pirates pretending to be them!"

"Very good. General Zhou led his people immediately, and followed the Dongchang people to Xiangshan County, and wiped out the entire Lin family, and no one was allowed to escape!"

Zhu Zhanhe ordered immediately.

Since Lin Lishi, who pretended to be a Japanese pirate, is from the Lin family, the Lin family must be one of the masterminds of this matter.

However, Zhu Zhanhe felt that there must be other people behind this incident, and even the Lin family might be just a pawn, after all, a mere businessman does not have such courage and courage.

When Lin Lishi heard that Zhu Zhanhe was going to send troops to arrest the Lin family, he was so frightened that he collapsed into a ball, and then he shouted loudly: "My lord, the villain is wronged!"

"Wronged? Pretending to be Japanese pirates and slaughtering the people of Ming Dynasty, do you still have the face to call yourself wronged?"

Zhu Zhanhe sneered, the crime committed by Lin Lishi could not be exaggerated.

Although Lin Lishi was timid, but thinking of the current situation of his family, he also went all out at this time, and immediately shouted again: "My lord, although I did the thing, we were forced to do it, and someone forced our Lin family to do it behind the scenes. ah!"
