When Li Feiyu heard that Zhang Shitou had revealed the details all at once, he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart! He immediately looked at Zhang Shitou. Zhang Shitou also turned to look at him and said, "This is our only chance!"
Li Feiyu was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Shitou's words, and then smiled bitterly! Because he felt that what Zhang Shitou said was very reasonable. It was simply impossible for the two pirates to seek revenge, and with their status, they could not contact other criminals. So when the matter reached the current level, they could only Take a gamble!
Liu Guangting had already figured out the secret at this time, and knew that these two people were not messing around, so he wanted to interrogate him and said directly: "Brothers, what is the charter? Tell me carefully! If it is really possible, My brother is also brave enough to demand Mr. Li, let him find an opportunity to introduce him!"
Li Feiyu smiled bitterly and told what happened. The story is very cliché and simple. Li Feiyu's original name was Li Qingsong, and Zhang Shitou's original name was Zhang Guorui. Both of them were from De'an Prefecture, Huguang. Both of their fathers worked in government offices, and the two families were neighbors, so they had a pretty good relationship.
Because of their positions, both families have a good income, both secretly and overtly, so the life of a well-off family is peaceful and peaceful! However, when Li Feiyu and Li Feiyu grew up, they both became obsessed with learning martial arts. Although their family members did not support them, they could not get rid of them. Moreover, both of them had brothers, and they were not needed to establish a family, so they were allowed to go out to learn martial arts. Got it!
After that, the two of them became apprentices to an old escort head of an escort agency. In a few years, they developed good martial arts skills. Occasionally, they would go out as escorts with a few senior brothers. They encountered some risks, but they had also seen the world. The days passed happily!
But one day when they came back from the escort, the master panicked and told them to leave the city quickly. He also told them that something happened at home and the whole family was imprisoned!
Only then did they learn that Zhang Shitou's father had embezzled 160,000 shi of grain from Chang Pingcang. Li Feiyu's father had used his identity to help him make false accounts. The two families had their homes confiscated and were imprisoned!
Naturally, the two of them didn't believe that such a thing would happen, so they wanted to complain. However, when they came back, their whereabouts had already been revealed. As soon as they left the escort agency, they were arrested by the police. In order not to implicate the escort agency, they did not resist, so they were immediately thrown into prison after being arrested.
When they saw their family members in prison, they finally knew what had happened! It turns out that this food was embezzled by the prefect of De'an together with others! However, this year there was a severe drought in Anhui, and the imperial court ordered the surrounding areas to mobilize food. This matter could no longer be concealed!
So the prefect wanted to find someone to admit the case, and the chosen target was their father! At first, the prefect still tried to persuade them nicely, saying that letting the two of them take responsibility for the crime would bring benefits, and it would also protect them from death.
But Zhang and Li's family were both from yamen, so they naturally knew what was going on! This case is too big, someone must die, but if they die, the family will be afraid that they will get nothing and they will be blamed for it, so they will naturally refuse!
But before they could take precautions, the prefect directly worked with them to prepare evidence, directly framed them, and directly arrested the person and put him in jail!
Li Feiyu and his wife were naturally furious when they heard about this, and planned to escape from prison that night with their family. But it would be easy if they were just the two of them, but how could they escape with their family members! So in the end, only the two of them escaped from the prison.
The magistrate and others did nothing but set fire to the prison after establishing solid evidence. Not only did the two families die tragically in the prison, but they also placed the charges on Li Feiyu and Li Feiyu! After the two escaped, they tried to assassinate them but failed. Instead, they were hunted down by the government and finally fled to the sea.
As for the prefect, because of the solid evidence and careful management, not only did he escape the blame, but he still sat firmly in the position of prefect of De'an Prefecture. So these two brothers think about revenge all the time!
But De'an Prefecture is too far away from the sea after all. If they took a group of people across the state and provinces to get to De'an Prefecture, they would be raided before they were halfway through. So they can only continue to accumulate strength! If Liu Haojia hadn't suddenly appeared this time, these brothers would have been planning to venture to De'an Prefecture in two years!
Liu Guangting sighed repeatedly after hearing their stories, but he felt the need to
Hold on to these two people! However, he still asked: "Just now you were talking about offering a treasure, what is that treasure?"
Li Feiyu said: "There are two pictures! One picture shows the pirate forces and nest owners that our two brothers have been investigating over the years. So, if we are caught in the future, we will sacrifice this picture to save our lives! The other picture is The chart copied by Zhang is said to be a copy of the chart drawn by the good eunuch Sanbao when he went to the West, but we don’t know whether it is true or not!”
Liu Guangting's brows jumped when he heard the second half of the sentence! It goes without saying how important nautical charts are to navigation. However, the nautical charts left by Sanbao eunuch were incomplete for a long time. Even the palace did not have a complete version. Therefore, Liu Haojia always kept talking about this matter. sigh! If this chart is true, its value is immeasurable!
Thinking of this, Liu Guangting said decisively: "Come on, follow me to see Mr. Li! By the way, do you have those two pictures with you?"
Li Feiyu nodded and said, "I'm bringing it with me! Since I want to see Uncle Wu Ning, I must bring something with me!"
Liu Guangting said: "Okay, in that case, you two will directly follow me to see Mr. Li!"
At this time, Liu Guangting could not directly reveal his relationship with Liu Haojia, so he naturally asked Li Wenliang to cover it up. When Li Wenliang heard that Liu Guangting had brought two people to see him, he directly let Liu Guangting enter his tent alone to understand the situation.
When he heard that Li Feiyu kept some of the charts of his voyage to the West, he was also surprised! He immediately went to see Liu Haojia. Then Liu Haojia was surprised and immediately summoned Liu Guangting and the others.
Liu Guangting and the others were about to bow down as soon as they entered the tent. Liu Haojia waved his hand and said, "Liu Longtou, you are considered a person of status now, so you don't need to be polite!"
Li Feiyu and Li Feiyu knew that they didn't have such a big reputation, so they still bowed down obediently, and then knelt there and waited for Liu Guangting to explain the cause and effect of the matter.
After Liu Guangting finished speaking, Liu Haojia looked the two of them up and down and said, "You two get up and talk."
The two thanked them and stood up. Liu Haojia then asked, "Tell me the details."
