"I haven't asked yet, what should I call this brother?"
Shen Tingyang planned to use the bullying of Han businessmen to establish his authority, but he did not expect to be undermined by fellow Han people.
The eyes of the wealthy Han businessman were full of vigilance.
"My subordinate, Chen Zhong, has gained the trust of an official and is in charge of the trade with Japan."
Shen Tingyang suddenly realized.
"It turns out to be Mr. Chen."
On that day when Xia State was negotiating with Japan, this Chen Zhong had appeared as a representative of the Zheng family and was obviously a core figure of the Zheng family.
But so what?
"Since it is Mr. Chen, why do you turn a blind eye and stand by while we Han people are being bullied?"
As soon as these words came out, they were quite suspected of sowing discord.
But this was the case, and all the Han businessmen couldn't help but look sad and angry, and they were even more resentful towards Chen Zhong.
How could Chen Zhong not know his sinister intentions, and he was immediately filled with anger.
"Haha, I, Mrs. Zheng, have my own rules for how to act. I won't bother Xia Guo to do this."
Shen Tingyang laughed loudly and became more and more aggressive.
"What's the matter? Does Mr. Chen think that he can satisfy the Japanese people by being humble?"
Chen Zhong suddenly changed his color.
"Xia Guo has always been on good terms with me, the Zheng family, but I don't know what Mr. Shen has done. Where will your family be placed?"
Shen Tingyang was contented.
"If the road is uneven, you have to tread on it, and if things are uneven, you have to deal with it. These merchants have traveled far across the ocean, and when they come here to trade, they have to be robbed of their goods. Since they are Han people, how can I, the Xia Kingdom, ignore them and allow them to be bullied?"
The Han businessmen saw the entire confrontation between the two in their eyes, and their eyes were filled with tears.
In times of crisis, there is nothing better than the feeling of having a backbone to rely on.
The hope of keeping their wealth suddenly made them look eager.
"Please also ask Master Shen to make the decision for us."
The effect Shen Tingyang wanted finally appeared, making him laugh involuntarily.
He looked at the Japanese official.
"You heard everything, right? I will take care of this matter."
The Japanese officials were in a panic and fell into confusion for a moment.
At this moment, the voice of saving him sounded from behind.
"Lord Shen, what you said is wrong! Wherever these businessmen should be, that's where they are. How can you confuse right and wrong with just words?"
The dark Japanese warriors quickly occupied the pier and escorted a senior official slowly.
It was none other than Nagasaki Kagawa Shinao.
As an eyewitness to the Xia Navy's bombardment of Nagasaki, Kanhara Shinao hated the Xia people to the core.
But the situation is stronger than the person, so he can only bury this hatred in his heart and dare not show it on the surface.
However, as a Nagasaki leader, he must maintain his authority.
Seeing his arrival, the Japanese officials at the execution office finally found their backbone. Everyone held their heads high, feeling that the situation had finally been restored.
Only Shen Tingyang didn't care about the arrival of Shen Yuan Zhizhi.
"It is not Japan's turn to comment on our Han people's affairs. These people belong to our Xia Kingdom, and I must give an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, we will find another way to communicate."
Under countless gazes, Shen Yuanzhi was completely unable to get off the stage.
"What if I still carry out the plan?"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Tingyang suddenly pulled out his sword.
"Then you kill all of us first, and then I, the Xia Kingdom, will tell the shogun personally what will happen next."
Shen Yuan Zhizhi had no idea that Shen Tingyang would be so strong and domineering, and would even draw a sword when he disagreed.
Does Shen Tingyang dare to take action?
He wasn't sure.
The only thing he knew was that if the business representatives sent by Xia Kingdom to Japan were really killed, then what awaited Japan would be Xia Kingdom's overwhelming fleet.
If those terrifying warships come again, I'm afraid it won't just be the west coast of Nagasaki that will be burned.
Kannahara Shizhi seemed to see all the cities along the coast of Japan burning with fires all over the sky, and countless Japanese people wailing and running for their lives.
This made him break into a cold sweat and make him feel frightened.
He was sent by the shogunate to serve as the chief minister of Nagasaki. He was originally a good man, but it was a poor one.
But now, it has become a hot potato.
Shen Yuanzhi urgently needed to find a step for himself.
He looked at the Han businessmen who straightened their bodies.
"Are you really a businessman from the Xia Kingdom?"
Finally had the opportunity to get their goods back, how could these Han businessmen miss it?
"We are naturally businessmen of the Xia Kingdom, and we are deeply protected by the Xia Kingdom. You are acting wantonly, and please ask the General Agent to make the decision for us."
Now that things have come to this, Shen Yuanzhi clearly understands that he has no choice.
"Since we are merchants from the Xia Kingdom, everything we did before was just a misunderstanding. Please forgive me, Mr. Shen. From now on, there will be no mistakes in the execution office."
He motioned to the official and asked them to return the Han merchant's goods.
Obviously they are on their own territory, and there are only a dozen or so people on the other side. Maybe they can all be killed with a single blow. However, the Japanese could only choose to give in under Shen Tingyang's coercion.
"The Sword Comes"
This made all Japanese people present feel humiliated, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Who knew that behind these dozen people stood the extremely powerful Xia Kingdom?
After finally getting their goods back, the Han merchants burst into tears one by one and expressed their gratitude to Shen Tingyang continuously.
Shen Yuanzhi was completely embarrassed and decided to win back the victory.
He looked at Chen Zhong and started to set the trap.
"Mr. Chen, Mrs. Zheng's hand is too long. If there is a next time, I will never be polite again."
Chen Zhong was panicked.
"Sir, these people are indeed..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Yuanzhi had already turned around and left far away.
Chen Zhong was left standing alone, messy in the wind.
When he saw those Han businessmen from Fujian, all of whom were bowing and thanking Shen Tingyang, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Zheng's majesty cannot be challenged.
On the seas of the East, Zheng is the king.
When did anyone dare to snatch Zheng's name?
He lowered his voice and told his entourage: "Send this matter back to Fujian immediately. An official must know about it."
The attendant took the order and went in a hurry.
Chen Zhong walked over casually.
His wolf-like eyes swept over the businessmen, and he did not hesitate to threaten them.
"Congratulations to everyone. From now on, you have been protected by the Xia Kingdom. You will definitely be able to make a lot of money. It seems that the flag of my Zheng family is no longer useful. Please return it to me."
The Han businessmen suddenly turned pale and trembled all over, finally realizing that they had been in trouble.
Sailing on the sea of the East will offend the Zheng family, which can only lead to death.
Shen Tingyang had just established his authority, how could he be suppressed at this moment?
He took a step forward and positioned himself very cleverly, as if he was shielding these businessmen from the wind and rain.
"Mr. Chen, everyone is selling Zheng's face because they believe that Zheng can stand up for everyone. But just now, Zheng allowed everyone to be bullied by the Japanese. I wonder if this is Mr. Chen's fear or the official's intention?"
If you want to pick a fight, let’s make it bigger.
