The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 313 News from the Brothel

It is already autumn, and it is impossible for them to go further afield, and this time is just right.

The wind and waves on the sea are not very big, it can be said that there is almost no, it is not like the typhoon in summer.

This time his request was not very high, nor did he say how far he would let these people go.

Zhao Xu's request was for them to occupy the Strait of Malacca, which was not called the Strait of Malacca at this time, maybe it didn't even have a name.

The leader of Zhao Xu, that is, the guy named Luo Cheng who turned out to be Li Chongjin's housekeeper, not much, he is not the Luo Cheng in the novel, nor is he as handsome as the Luo Cheng in the novel.

Zhao Xu also didn't know what the Strait of Malacca was called now, but only knew its shape and approximate location.

So he briefly said, let them pay attention, hoping to find it, not only to find it, but also to firmly grasp the opportunity.

That is to occupy this place and become their base. After all, there are [-] well-trained soldiers on the ship they accompanied.

There are also merchants headed by Wang Yanmin who boarded these fleets with great interest. They used to be adventurous merchants, but now they are members of the imperial court.

There are so many soldiers guarding them, this is something they didn't dare to think of before, but now they have done it.

Wang Yanmin, the former chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and now the head of the merchant ship, said:

"Guys, did you see that we used to be on small boats, but now we are on the official ships of the imperial court, no matter what we say, we are half of the imperial court."

"In the past, we not only had to guard against pirates, but also paid taxes to the government. From now on, we are also proud."

Wang Yanmin has memorized the fresh vocabulary of "pirate" and is already familiar with it.

"Treasurer Wang said that we used to make a lot of money, but our status was very low. We had to manage everywhere, and we had to be grandchildren when we saw people blocking the road. Now we are protected by soldiers when we go in and out, hahaha."

The other people are also in line with the Tao, and one can feel joy and satisfaction from their tone.

"Okay, don't talk about it, everyone. This is the honor given to us by the crown prince. If it weren't for the crown prince, would you think that we would have a position in the court?"

Zhao Xu asked them to have false positions in the Shibo Department. Although they had no real power, these people were very happy.

"Once upon a time, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants were at the bottom of the queue. Now we can also be officials. Tell me, this is not the grace of the prince, so we all have to complete the tasks assigned by the prince."

Wang Yanmin said to these people excitedly.

The task Zhao Xu gave them was very simple, all the goods on the ship were sold, there was nothing to say about that.

I asked them to find some kind of rice. The specific name was not mentioned, but they were given a picture.

And told them that it can be found in a place called Zhancheng, so they all firmly remembered it.

And said to the commander in charge of this matter, a person who came out of Jinyiwei, you must occupy a place for me somewhere.

Regardless of whether you are burning, killing and looting, you must stand firm, and it will be of great use in the future. Everyone keeps this in mind.

"Treasurer Wang, don't worry, we dare not forget about the prince. Besides, we have been to Zhancheng, and we will definitely be able to complete the mission of the prince."

This group of them is very confident, unprecedented confidence, but later facts proved that they did.

Zhao Xu and Miao Xun chatted about other things, and then they got drunk and didn't know how they got back.

Anyway, when he woke up, he was already lying on his own bed with a splitting headache, and he didn't even know how he got back.

He felt in a daze that someone was bringing him water, but soon he fell into a deep sleep again.

Zhao Xu didn't get up until the third day of the day, and before he had time to eat, Dong Zhenhai ran over in a hurry, looking very anxious.

While eating the fine snacks in front of him, Zhao Xu met Dong Zhenhai and listened to him explain what happened, which made him anxious like this.

"Hey, I told you a long time ago, don't take anything lightly. Now you know, those who died must be buried properly, and their families must take good care of them."

Zhao Xu sighed and said, while our Comrade Dong Zhenhai hung his head and kept saying yes.

It turned out that Dong Zhenhai sent four people to follow Wang An yesterday, and nothing happened along the way, but when they reached a sparsely populated place, several people suddenly came out and surrounded the four Jinyiwei.

By the time Dong Zhenhai found out, it was already too late. There were only four corpses on the ground, and none of them were alive. Naturally, he didn't know where Wang An went.

"You told us that Liu San, who was monitoring Wang An, paid close attention to Wang An's movements, but he must not be discovered by him. By the way, what did Liu Qinhu do?"

Zhao Xu didn't see Liu Qinhu. He was in charge of intelligence and should have something to tell him, but he didn't come today.

"I haven't seen him either, why don't I go find him?" Dong Zhenhai asked tentatively.

Zhao Xu waved his hand:

"No, you go and do your work first."

"The subordinate has retired."

As soon as Dong Zhenhai left here, Liu Qinhu rushed over in a hurry. Judging by his appearance, there is some good news.

"Prince, I have made a major discovery." He yelled before reaching Zhao Xu.

"What are you shouting for, lest people don't know you're here, come here and tell me what's going on, don't tell me you're so happy after eating bee poo."

Zhao Xu gave him an angry look. How could this guy be so reckless? When will he be able to stabilize his focus?
"Prince, am I not happy? I accidentally discovered the person who connected with Wang An, that's why I'm so happy."

Liu Qinhu told the reason why Zi was happy, no wonder he was so happy, it turned out that he had gained something.

"Oh, tell me, do you know who it is, and where did you find it?" Zhao Xu pretended to be very natural, but in fact, he seemed to know it in his heart.

"Hahaha, it's a coincidence that I found it in the brothel. Wang An went to the brothel, and there happened to be a Fengying staff who was on vacation, so we discovered it by coincidence."

Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing. The eunuch went to the brothel, which was unexpected to him, but it might be the safest thing for Wang An.

"You mean you got the news from the brothel?" Zhao Xu couldn't believe it, so he asked specifically to confirm.
