Chapter 12 In the South there is Hong Kong, Hao and Mirror Macao
Unexpectedly, Canghai Mingzhu not only met with the "first capture" Zhou Miao, but also for the sake of Canghai Mingzhu, Zhou Miao formed a bond with the "Flying Fox" He Chong, and the result was fifteen years.
The Pearl of Canghai in the palace was not burned out because of a fire after the Renyin Palace changed, but was stolen by He Chong. Unexpectedly, He Chong actually sold it to a foreigner, which really made Zhengyao Waiting for others was very angry.
Anyone can sell it to anyone, but it can't be sold to foreigners, otherwise it will be a crime of "traitor"! For He Chong, flying thieves don't matter, but traitors are different. Although they are all thieves, they are of quality. But it is completely different.
"Hao...Hao Jingao?" Zhengyao looked at He Chong in confusion and asked.
Zhengyao still doesn't understand the geographical name of the Ming Dynasty, because unlike now, the name at that time may change after various policies, such as Nanjing. Sometimes it is called Yingtian Mansion, sometimes it is called Jiangning, sometimes it is called Nanjing, and sometimes it is called Nanjing, which makes people lose their heads.
As for Haojing Ao? Where?
Chen Tianfu heard this, but he smiled slightly and said, "Hao Jingao, belongs to Xiangshan County, has two bays in the north and south, and is like a mirror and looks like a shell. Hao Jingao is a Hai'ao where a foreign ship is moored, and it has a guardian. Whenever the official arrived, the official guarding the Macau government reported his superiors on his behalf. At the beginning of the Jiajing period, the Portuguese only used ship trade and built thatched tents to live in the ship. However, in less than ten years, the number of Portuguese in Macau increased greatly, so Building thousands of rooms and thousands of people."
Chen Tianfu is a businessman who travels around all year round, so he naturally knows many places in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the coastal areas, and often trades with merchants from surrounding countries. It is not surprising to know Haojingao. thing.
"I have never been to Haojing'ao, but the Portuguese introduced me at that time. He also said that a large group of people had obtained the right to live there. They would always live there, and would not leave if there was no accident. .”
He Chong added. It doesn't look like he is lying.
The so-called thief also has a way. Since he was trapped in Zhengyao, he would definitely not use any means to retaliate. What people in the world value most is the word "trust and righteousness". He Chong is also a famous thief, and this is even more so.
"This... isn't this Macau?" Zhengyao immediately opened his mind and said with a sudden realization.
"Australia...Macao?"
Everyone looked at Zhengyao in surprise. What is this Macau? They have seen the wooden door and the iron door. What kind of door is Macau?
Seeing the surprised eyes and expressions staring at him, Zhengyao understood what everyone meant, so he immediately explained: "Macau is a ziyou port, not a gate. There are mountains in Macau like gates, so it is called Macau. On both sides of the Pearl River Estuary, Jiuao, it should be what you mentioned. Actually, I heard from others, and whether it is really still to be discussed."
Although Zhengyao has never been to Macau and Hong Kong, he has also read the introductions on TV and computers. And when Macau returned on December 20, 1999, although Zhengyao was only twelve years old, the school organized the relevant information to welcome Macau's return. He was the host of the event at that time. He naturally collected a lot of Macau information in private, so he got a little understanding of it.
What Zhengyao said is correct. This rich mirror Macao is indeed the so-called Macau, but at that time it was not called Macau.
"Oh! So that's it!"
Everyone also solved their doubts for a while and nodded to show that they understood.
Of course, Yuan Haiyun and Zhengyao have been together for so long and have never heard of anyone he mentioned about Macau. I can't help but feel a little curious, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhengyao has a lot of time when he went out alone, maybe someone really gave it to him.
It is not surprising that he said it.
"Well, since that's the case, I think we'll set off tomorrow as soon as tomorrow dawn!" As he said that, Zhengyao looked at Yuan Haiyun.
Now time is urgent. If Zhou Bing's injury worsens for another two or three months, the consequences will be unimaginable. Zhengyao dare not neglect it. The purpose of this trip is to find the "Pearl of the Sea".
The whereabouts of Canghai Mingzhu has been cleared, and the next thing to do is to rush to Haojingao immediately. Of course, Zhengyao also understood that such a valuable thing would not be easy even if he met the Portuguese person when he arrived at Haojingao.
Leave it to yourself, but if Zhengyao doesn't go, he won't even have any chance.
Yuan Haiyun responded: "Well, you are the one who decides everything!"
Shen Tianfu said with a embarrassed look: "Mr. Li, Mr. Yuan, both of you have helped Shen a lot. Shen has not yet had time to thank him. I wanted to thank the others in my family when they come back from the village.
Seeing that the two of you are so busy, Shen didn't stay any longer. But you still rest here for a night and wait for tomorrow to leave!"
"Well, I'm all tired now, so I'll have to arrange a house!"
After working all night, it was a lie to say that he was not tired. Zhengyao didn't want to go back to the inn now. This time, I don't know how long it will take to go. Zhou Bing has Man'er and Xing'er in the inn
Nothing should happen if you take care of it.
"Ruoyun, hurry up and help the distinguished guest arrange the room!" Shen Tianfu nodded and smiled immediately, and then said to Mrs. Shen next to him.
"Well, Mr. Li, Mr. Yuan, Constable Zhou, please come with me!" Mrs. Shen leaned slightly and then walked out of the hall slowly.
Zhengyao and others did not refuse and immediately followed. As for He Chong, who was tied up by many flowers, he also followed under Zhou Miao's push.
Finally, Zhengyao and Yuan Haiyun lived in a wing room, while Zhou Miao and He Chong also lived in the same wing room. After washing up, they fell asleep peacefully.
Zhengyao's sleep is much better than usual tonight. As soon as he went to bed, Yuan Haiyun had not said three words, Zhengyao fell asleep. Perhaps because he finally had the whereabouts of the Pearl of the Sea,
That's why Zhengyao has such a good dream.
When Yuan Haiyun saw Zhengyao sleeping, he didn't say much. He lay on the bed, counting the sheep, and finally fell asleep.
Outside the window, the moonlight is bright, the star shadow is mottled, quiet and desolate, and silent, it is indeed a night suitable for sleeping peacefully.
The second thing happened when Zhengyao woke up, it was already Chen Shishi. After a brief wash, he came to the hall with Yuan Haiyun. At this moment, he saw Zhou Miao and He Chong appear in the living room.
Zhou Miao seemed very energetic. However, He Chong, who was still tied up by five flowers, seemed to be ignorant. In fact, this is reasonable. Zhou Miao could even sleep in the dilapidated temple. It was natural to sleep well in the Shen Mansion.
; But He Chong is different. He was tied up all night and can sleep well. That's really strange. Besides, he fell asleep late last night. He got up early this morning and had more than two hours of sleep.
It's really not enough.
At this time, Chen Tianfu walked over from the door with a smile on his face, and then said, "You are really early, so I'll use breakfast first!"
After saying that, Chen Tianfu slapped his hands and immediately came in outside the door one by one, seven or eight maids holding chopping boards. After a while, the Eight Immortals table was filled with snacks, which was what Chen Mansion called breakfast.
More than a dozen small steamers are all full of buns, steamed buns, desserts, abalone, chicken porridge, egg and meat porridge, etc. There is a large table. Not to mention a few people in the room, even ten people may not be Finished eating.
Of course, Zhengyao and others were not polite, so they sat down immediately and started to have breakfast.
After a sweeping, the table was not finished with half of the snacks and porridge, and Zhengyao had already got off the table. Then the maids began to clean up the table. Chen Tianfu started talking with Zhengyao and others.
"It's getting late, thank you Mr. Shen for your kind hospitality. I'm going to say goodbye, and there will be a date later!" Zhengyao immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, Zhou Miao also stood up, which was consistent with Zhengyao's idea. He obviously wanted to take He Chong away and then go back to hand in the office.
"Wait!" Chen Tianfu immediately called Zhengyao and others, then clapped his hands again, and then three maids walked out of the inner hall, holding a chopping board. Chen Tianfu said again: "Last night, the three were busy, Chen, so busy. Chen has no choice but to thank him. I hope you can accept some of Chen’s feelings here!"
After saying that, the three maids walked up one by one, and at the same time uncovered the red cloth on the chopping board, and then a dazzling golden light came out from the chopping board.
"This..." Zhou Miao said with some difficulty.
I believe everyone understands Chen Tianfu's meaning. Zhou Miao has been walking for many years and naturally understands it. However, Zhou Miao has always been upright and has never done much to stop others' money.
Zhengyao's mouth raised slightly. Chen Tianfu, like Han Ren, must have wanted to give himself money as a reward.
For Zhengyao, money is actually just a number. Now he is the prince consort, eating the country and using the country. How much does it cost? As long as Ning An talks about it, he will definitely get it. So the gold in front of him, Zhengyao didn't care much.
However, He Chong's eyes were straight, and the golden light emitted was completely comparable to the light emitted by gold. As a flying thief, why isn't he greedy for money?
Chen Tianfu smiled and said, "There are three hundred taels of gold here. Although it is not too much, please accept it and show Chen's wishes!"
In fact, Chen Tianfu also made a calculation. One hundred taels of gold per person is really nothing to him. But he understood that once he gave too much, Zhou Miao would not accept it, and Zheng Yao and Yuan Haiyun If one of Zhou Miao and the other two didn't accept it, the others might not accept it. So after thinking for a long time, he decided to repay one hundred taels of gold.
"Brother Zhou, accept it, Mr. Shen is also very willing. If you don't accept it, we won't accept it." Zhengyao said with a smile.
Zhengyao understood that Zhou Miao was alone at this moment, and now he was going back to Beijing to pay for his job alone. How could he do without any money? So Zhengyao decided to ask Zhou Miao to accept the money.
"Uh..." Zhou Miao was still in a dilemma.
"Okay, if you don't accept it, I'll leave this flying fox to us. No matter what, he was captured by my junior brother himself!" Yuan Haiyun immediately became tough and said threateningly.
However, what he said is not without reason, and Zhou Miao is upright and stubborn. Once he handed over the Feitian Fox to Zhengyao, how could he go back to work?
He couldn't help but pout and said, "Forget it, then I'll thank Mr. Shen!"
After saying that, Zhou Miao took one hundred taels of gold, bowed to thank him, and then walked out the door.
The same goes for Zhengyao and Yuan Haiyun. After taking the gold, greeting Chen Tianfu and his wife again, they walked out of the room and prepared to return to Yuanlai Inn. (To be continued...)
