Ye Chuchun nodded: "That's right! No matter how clever Hong Chengchou is, he wouldn't have guessed that the court already knew that we were in Edo the night before the court officials arrived in Edo, unless he knew it a long time ago and deliberately His extraordinary qualities are shown in front of us! We would rather believe him than believe him. Hong Chengchou is not very willing to fight against the imperial court with us, so we don’t feel at ease if we keep him!"
"In the past, it was just Mr. Yang who valued him and thought he had extraordinary abilities. To be honest, I didn't see what was so great about him."
Ye Chengmin also said a little unconvinced.
Seeing this, Ye Chuchun continued: "Mr. Yang was captured by the court about the Nagasaki incident. I'm afraid he was the one who leaked the secret!"
Ding Qirui was also dissatisfied with Hong Chengchou because Hong Chengchou did not recommend him as the commander-in-chief. Seeing what these two people said, Ding Qirui nodded and said: "Without further delay, we should quickly discuss a way to deal with this person!"
"If you kill him directly, it will be in honor of General Shangtu. After all, it was he and Mr. Yang who invited Hong Chengchou here. Why not just send him away and let him go back and forth wherever he comes! You two are now the commander-in-chief of the Juyi Hall. , just give me a warrant and ask me to transfer a boat to take him away from here. After I take him away, you can explain to General Tu, and General Tu will not blame you."
Ye Chuchun said.
Neither Ding Qirui nor Ye Chengmin liked Hong Chengchou staying here to steal his limelight, so they agreed.
Therefore, Ye Chuchun took the warrants from Ye Chengmin and Ding Qirui to prepare a fortune ship that formerly belonged to the Ye Xianggao family.
As the former chief minister of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao's family was quite powerful in Fujian and naturally had its own maritime trade fleet. Now that Ye Xianggao has passed away, the family business is naturally decided by Ye Chengmin and Ye Xianggao's descendants. .
However, people like Ye Chengmin are now using these fleets to escape overseas, intending to fight against the imperial court.
Now, it would be easy for Ye Chengmin to give Ye Chuchun a lucky boat.
After Ye Chuchun got a lucky boat from Ye Chengmin, he came to Hong Chengchou's residence, took out the warrants from Ye Chengmin and Ding Qirui and said: "Hong Gong, Ding Gong and Ye Gongzi are waiting to see you in the Juyi Hall. General Tu is also here, let me call you."
Hong Chengchou currently has no doubts about Ye Chuchun. In addition, Juyi Hall is a leadership organization he initiated and established. Naturally, he does not want to be the first to violate it, so he follows Ye Chuchun out without suspecting fraud.
But when Hong Chengchou and Ye Chuchun passed by a secluded place, two strong men suddenly walked out of the bushes and immediately captured Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou, a scholar, naturally couldn't break away, so he couldn't help but be shocked: "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing. I'm just sending you back, Mr. Hong. Don't you always think that we are trying to beat a rock with an egg and you don't want to fight against the imperial court with us? How can we force you?"
Ye Chuchun said with a smile.
"You, you, you doubt me?"
Hong Chengchou understood something at this time and couldn't help being a little shocked. He didn't expect that he would be suspected by these people, and he felt angry and shocked for a moment.
"Send Mr. Hong on board!"
Ye Chuchun ordered the two strong men behind him.
"yes!"
These two strong men were Ye Chengmin's domestic slaves, and they were sent here to help Ye Chuchun capture Hong Chengchou.
Therefore, after Ye Chuchun gave the order, the two strong men dragged Hong Chengchou to the dock in front.
At this time, there was already a lucky boat beside the small pier here.
Hong Chengchou was escorted onto the ship.
Ye Chuchun also followed, looked at Hong Chengchou and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hong, we won't kill you, we will just send you back! Didn't Mr. Hong always want to return to the imperial court and become an official? Now we have succeeded." It’s my wish.”
"No, no, I can't go back now. If I go back now, I will definitely die! How can you doubt Hong? Hong has been carefully planning for you gentlemen!"
Hong Chengchou did not expect that this group of gentry would be so stupid and incompetent. Instead of improving themselves because of his series of suggestions, Hong Chengchou began to doubt him and would rather send him back to China than trust him.
However, Hong Chengchou really couldn't go back now.
Because even if he was forced into the den of reactionary gentry, according to the requirements of scholar-bureaucrats in this era, Hong Chengchou should commit suicide or go on a hunger strike to preserve his reputation.
At least we should not help the reactionary gentry.
But he had already helped the reactionary gentry, and he also made great efforts to send 100,000 kilograms of iron materials and a group of craftsmen directly to the Japanese country, with the intention of colluding with the Japanese country to fight against the imperial court.
If Hong Chengchou goes back now, even if the emperor does not kill him, conscientious scholar-bureaucrats will ask the emperor to kill him.
That's why Hong Chengchou said he couldn't go back now.
"It's not up to you!"
Ye Chuchun smiled coldly.
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but yelled: "Why are you so stupid! No wonder you were brought to this point by His Majesty and Fang Congzhe. You deserve it! A bunch of stupid pigs! Your Majesty is right not to believe you. If His Majesty trusted you like Xiang Miao, Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in your hands, you, you have no knowledge of others, you only know how to fight for power and eliminate dissidents!"
Ye Chuchun was too lazy to pay attention to Hong Chengchou anymore, because the more fiercely Hong Chengchou scolded these reactionary gentry, the more comfortable he felt, and the more he felt that it was worthwhile for him to serve as an undercover agent for the emperor and Dongchang.
Suddenly, when they arrived at a pier near Yuegang, Ye Chuchun took Hong Chengchou ashore, who had been tied up with five flowers, and told other people on the same boat: "You wait for me for three days again, and come back after I send him to the city." I’ll meet you.”
Then, Ye Chuchun escorted Hong Chengchou to Haiden County alone.
As soon as they arrived outside Haiden County, a group of Dongchang Banner School students in casual clothes were waiting here.
"Qiao Ke, a member of Qianhu Household in Dongchang, has met Ye Qianshi."
Because of his many meritorious services, Ye Chuchun had already risen to the rank of Jin Yiwei and commanded the general affairs, so Qiao Ke could call him that.
"He is Hong Chengchou, and I will hand him over to you now."
Ye Chuchun said and pushed Hong Chengchou over.
Hong Chengchou's eyes widened when he heard the word "Dongchang". He looked at Ye Chuchun and said nothing for a long time.
…
"Mr. Yuan, since you have also received secret letters from overseas rebels, why don't you tell His Majesty that you really intend to lobby for Hong Chengchou who wrote to you?"
After Jiang Dejing learned that Yuan Keli had also received a letter from Hong Chengchou, he asked in confusion.
Yuan Keli smiled slightly and said: "I don't need to tell your Majesty that I know it. Your Majesty must have already known it."
"Then you return it?"
Jiang Dejing asked hurriedly.
But before he could finish speaking, Yuan Keli said: "It's not that I don't want His Majesty to know, but because I don't want this student named Hong Chengchou to be alive! This person has talent but no virtue. If he is left here, there will be trouble in the future!"
"Yeah?"
Jiang Dejing asked.
Yuan Keli gave Hong Chengchou's letter to Jiang Dejing: "Look at what he wrote! There is no backbone of our scholar-bureaucrats in the words! He only said that he was harmed by rebelling against the Party and was forced to use an excuse! Even if he was harmed by rebelling against the Party, if As a gentleman, you should commit suicide or go on a hunger strike to die for the festival! How can anyone survive! He even went to the Japanese country to seduce the Japanese chieftain! This person is simply an extremely evil villain! How can I let your majesty know that if your majesty wants to use this villain? But what to do.”
