Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 444
After the beating was over, His Royal Highness King Chu asked defiantly, "Have you learned how to speak politely to me now?"

"Bah!" Chen Shanghai spat out a bloody tooth.

"Well, I'm still a tough one." The King of Chu couldn't see it but could hear it, and said with a smile, "This king likes tough guys. How about this, as long as you answer one of my questions, this king will let you go free. How about it?"

"What's the problem?" Chen Shanghai asked coldly.

"Who ordered you to attack this king?" Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice, "Normally speaking, 100 million taels of gold is enough for you to abide by the rules."

"..." The corner of Chen Shanghai's mouth twitched, and he said in a muffled voice, "However, no amount of money can buy back the life of my father and my elder brother!"

"Who is your father?" Lao Liu asked curiously.

"Don't ask questions knowingly!" Chen Shanghai said angrily.

Yu Tongyuan at the side hastily explained to His Highness: "His father is Chen Youding, and his elder brother Chen Zonghai, both were warlords at the end of the Yuan Dynasty..."

"My father and brother are loyal to the country, and they will not disgrace their ministers until they die!" Chen Shanghai said proudly: "It is a hundred times stronger than your father and those who rebel against impermanence! Bah!"

Zhu Zhen suddenly realized that Chen Youding still knew about it.In the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty where all the heroes arose, this eldest brother was unique. He was clearly a Han Chinese in the south, but he became a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty.Together with Bai Timur and Dieli Mishi from the Yuan Dynasty, they are called "Misan Knife"... Oh no, "Fujian Sanzhong".

From the late Yuan Dynasty to the Zhengzheng period, "rogue bandits" appeared everywhere. Chen Youding was appointed as an official in the Yuan Dynasty and recruited regiment training. Because of his meritorious service in suppressing the bandits, he was gradually promoted and occupied eight counties in Fujian.

After the rise of Boss Zhu, Chen Youding led his army to fight Zhu Yuanzhang many times, and even killed Zhu Yuanzhang's general Hu Shen. He has always been the most diehard Baoyuan faction.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a large army to conquer Fujian, and Chen Youding insisted on defending it, but the Ming army had swept the world and was irresistible.Chen You said goodbye to his subordinates: "The general situation is over, I can only serve the country with my death, you guys continue to work hard." '

Then retreated into the provincial hall, tidied up his clothes, and after two bows facing north, he committed suicide by swallowing medicine.The soldiers of the troops rushed to open the city gate to admit the Ming army into the city.

After the Ming army entered the city, they found that he was still alive, so they put him in shackles and sent him to the capital.When Chen Youding came to the palace to meet him, Zhu Yuanzhang accused him of "ignoring current affairs and recognizing a thief as his father".

Chen Youding said sharply: "The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed. If you want to kill, kill it. Don't talk too much." Zhu Yuanzhang then executed him and his son Chen Hai, and both father and son died calmly without fear.It can be regarded as a traitor with a lot of backbone... Of course, a traitor with a backbone is still a traitor.

"It's all for you to praise your father, why are you scolding my father?" Zhu Zhen had no choice but to have Chen Shanghai beaten again.

"You son of a bitch, my Chen family is at odds with a dog thief!" Chen Shanghai lost another tooth, and Youzi kept yelling and cursing. "How much money you give me, I will kill you!"

"How do you know I'm on the boat?" Zhu Zhen raised his hand, signaling not to hit him yet.

"..." Chen Shanghai's expression froze obviously, and he said in a muffled voice, "I just know."

"It seems that someone has disclosed the news to you, and that person's status is not low." Zhu Zhen said indifferently: "This king is going out in secret. If you are not at a certain level, you won't know about it at all."

"Your father and son are making a fuss, and everyone has betrayed their relatives and left!" Chen Shanghai gloated and laughed and said, "You have to go back and investigate carefully. If you really can't, set up a big prison and arrest all suspects, otherwise you won't be able to sleep peacefully."

"Okay, don't pretend to be a wolf with a big tail here." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "You are the same as your father, but a dog fed by others. Oh, no. Your father is loyal to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. What the hell are you loyal to? If you think you are loyal to protect the Lord, people have sold you for every catty!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Chen Shanghai snorted disdainfully.

"If you don't believe me, take a look," Zhu Zhen pointed to the surroundings and said, "Facts speak louder than words. You listened to that man's words. You took the opportunity to launch a shameless sneak attack on the king, but in the end the entire army was wiped out, and the king's ten boats were safe and sound! Didn't you think about why this happened?"

"That's because you put a lot of cannons on the ship. We haven't seen it before, and we suffered such a big loss because we were caught off guard!" Chen Shanghai gritted his teeth.

"Haha, idiot, why don't you think about it, why didn't that person tell you this? We put so many cannons on the ship, and the movement is much bigger than this king's expedition." Zhu Zhen said convincingly: "It doesn't make sense, he only knows one thing and doesn't know the other."

"Hiss..." Chen Shanghai was indeed brought into the ditch, his one-eyed eyes flickered fiercely.

"So that person clearly wants to get rid of you with this king's hand!" Lao Liu held up his 'sunglasses' and said in a deep tone: "Although this king is also very happy to get rid of you, but being used as a gun makes me very angry!"

"..." Mr. Luo was dumbfounded. Could it be that His Highness used his body as bait to lure the other party to make a move?The mouth of the sixth child can make the dead alive.How is it different from that Cao thief?
"So, if you confess that person, this king will avenge you." The sixth righteous man said solemnly, "And he will give you back your freedom. Isn't this a good deal?"

"Are you not afraid that I will make trouble again?" Chen Shanghai asked loudly.

"Hahaha!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu replied with a disdainful laugh.

"Yeah, you would rather smile at the seagulls on the railing than look at me." Chen Shanghai hurt himself slightly, "It seems that I am not as good as a bird in your eyes."

"..." The corner of Lao Liu's mouth twitched slightly, only then did he realize that his face had strayed away again while he was talking.But he used to put on airs, and continued to say to the bird: "The bird is free, and you are the king's prisoner, so you are really not as good as a bird."

"Young lady..." Chen Shanghai was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Think about it," Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Before returning to Beijing, give me an answer, and my promise will count."

The guards took Chen Shanghai to the prison cell at the bottom of the bilge; and the seagull on the railing spread its wings and flew to the free sky.

"I'm really not as good as a bird..." Chen Shanghai took a last look, and the sky where the seagulls were flying was cut off from the light by the hatch.

~~
After the interrogation of Chen Shanghai, His Royal Highness the King of Chu asked Mr. Luo to watch outside on the grounds of seasickness, and hid himself in the cabin and did not show up again.Anyway, follow-up matters have already been arranged, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Later, Luo Guanzhong came in and reported that all the gold handed over to the pirates had been recovered, not only a lot of 100 million taels, but more than [-] taels of gold, silver, copper coins, jewelry and jade were found from the captured pirate ship.

Wang Dayuan knew this business very well, and explained that it was because the pirates did not trust each other.Therefore, unless you have your own family in the old nest, when you go to sea, you are used to carrying your valuables with you to avoid being stolen.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu rubbed his eye sockets with an egg, and said with emotion: "That's really fucking rich..."

"Yes, after deducting the compensation for casualties and the rewards given to the soldiers, the remaining money is enough for Your Highness to pay back." Teacher Luo calculated all the costs of buying ships and guns in his heart.

"That's right, but you have to improve your thinking. How can you spend your own money for business? Isn't it good to spend other people's money?" Zhu Zhen laughed.

"..." Teacher Luo finally resisted the urge to roll his eyes.Then reported: "In addition, two pirate lairs have been interrogated from the captives."
