Chapter 103 Chasing in the middle of the night
"Stop!" the clear Chinese words rang out on Hirado Street, slightly blurred by the rapidly blowing wind.
The white figure was running quickly in front, followed by several people in black clothes. Under the vast night, it was a speed contest and competition.
The white figure sped up and ran quickly, passing a corner. By the time those people caught up, the man in white had disappeared.
"Master Yan, which road should we pursue?" Facing the forked intersection, a man in black looked at Yan Zhan in front of him in confusion.
Yan Zhan was dressed in a light blue long satin with a silver orchid pattern on it, which shone with the luster of Tsinghua University under the moonlight. Under the bright white moonlight, he cast his eyes intently into the distance, and then slowly
The ground shook his head: "Let's go back."
"Why?"
"After taking these two roads to the end, they all end up in the same place, the Tazawa family."
The man in black was puzzled: "Why? We have no enmity with the Tian Ze family. We came to Japan just to catch that man. How could we let him escape? And I heard that Prince Rui's men also came here secretly. He has ulterior motives.
We must capture that person before then, and we shouldn’t let Prince Rui’s men succeed.”
"Once we are discovered after passing the Tian Ze family, not only will we not be able to capture the person, but we will also lose our troops and our lives will not be saved." Yan Zhan put his hands behind his hands and raised his slightly long phoenix eyes. The cold moonlight reflected in his eyes, and there seemed to be a clear glow flowing through them.
, "Have you forgotten that there is someone living in the Tazawa family that we cannot afford to offend?"
As soon as Yan Zhan finished his words, the scene of that day flashed before the eyes of the man in black. A man in a black brocade robe was waving flags familiarly on the boat, looking at them with cold eyes. In the surging sea water, he
The narrow eyes are ruthless, cold and murderous.
Yes, Yan Zhan once worked as an undercover agent for the East India Company and had someone plot against Chu Zhiling.
Even if Yan Zhan doesn't pursue them, as long as Chu Zhiling discovers their whereabouts, he will definitely trace them. After finding out the clues, there is no guarantee that he will not interfere with their actions.
With Chu Zhiling's character of showing no mercy to his enemies, it would be wise to stay away from him.
A few people dispersed, leaving the autumn moonlight shining coldly on the ground, and a few cicadas perched on high branches, making short calls from time to time.
It was very quiet at night.
After running for a long time, the white figure stopped when he saw that no one was following him. He pressed his hand on the wall, panting from exhaustion.
After he finished panting and his breathing returned to normal, he straightened up. Under the bright white moonlight, he could vaguely see a roof standing on the other side of the wall. Beside the roof was a handful of flags, fluttering in the night wind.
This flag indicates that this is the home of the owner of Hirado Island, Tazawa Yuhuang, and his family is the only one in the area who puts a flag in the house.
The white figure foresaw something, and the expression in his eyes suddenly became complicated. He seemed to want to climb over the wall, but for a long time, he only showed a pale smile.
His back was pressed against the wall, sliding down bit by bit.
"I don't know what happened to my sister-in-law today, but she actually thought of making delicious food for us."
The two pirates were walking in the courtyard. Because today was a full moon day, they felt a little homesick. Neither of them slept, so they walked around. Finally, they sat in a small pavilion and chatted about various things.
Chinese pirates are no better than European pirates. European pirates are generally rebellious and want to pursue freedom, or search for treasures on the sea.
Although Chinese pirates are not without this idea, most of them are not willing to do so. Many of them are forced to have no other choice. Many of them are persecuted by the government at that time. It is very likely that they are now armed with knives to enter the village to rob.
The ferocious pirates were not long ago the poor people who were kicked out of their food baskets by patrolling officials and were crying for help.
In a country dominated by small-scale peasant economy, the land-based concept is deeply rooted. If there is no way out, who would be willing to abandon the land and plunge into the cold and unpredictable ocean?
For example, Chu Zhiling was the son of an official in his previous life, but he served the country but was massacred by his family. Another example is Tian Zeyihuang, who made his fortune in Hirado. He was formerly a tailor. Due to the continuous sitting system implemented in the Ming Dynasty, one person in the village committed a crime and was unable to report it.
, so several nearby people were affected and went to the execution ground together, except those who could afford to pay for their lives. Tianze Yihuang didn't want to die without a body, so he threw himself into the river. He didn't expect anyone to help him. He worked as a pirate for several years, and finally got the chance.
By coincidence, I settled down in Hirado.
So now, two pirates who were once ordinary people were sitting in the pavilion, looking up at the mirror-like full moon, full of homesickness. After feeling sad for a while, they started chatting about some meaningless things.
topic.
When talking about Xin Yue, she has changed a lot in the past few days. Although she still doesn't talk much, she doesn't look at them with a slightly mocking look like before. When she is in a good mood, she will make something for everyone to eat.
"Do you think our sister-in-law has really fallen in love with our eldest brother? I feel like she has changed a lot." The man named Chen Xiao asked.
It turns out that people are all very gossipy, and this has nothing to do with gender...
"I heard that my eldest brother and my eldest sister-in-law are planning to have a child, but where can I raise this child? I don't think my eldest sister-in-law is the kind of person who takes care of a child. If he wants my eldest brother to take care of him, he definitely wants us to take care of him..." Li Quanfu
Touched his forehead.
"No...this is too cruel."
The voices of the two men were a bit loud, and they drifted to the ears of the man in white outside the wall with the night wind.
The man in white suddenly stiffened his back. Is it time to give birth to a child?
He clenched his fists tightly and looked deathly pale.
The man in white stood up. He seemed to want to climb in. Due to Japan's frequent earthquakes, the buildings are not very high. This wall is higher than the ordinary wall, but fortunately he is tall and tall and can climb in.
But when he really wanted to climb in, he thought, what's the point of climbing in? Can he bring her out?
Thinking of this, he sat on the ground dejectedly, his forehead-length hair covering his eyebrows. The late autumn moonlight shone on him, and he suddenly felt a biting desolation.
At this moment, a slightly cold female voice came from the wall: "Hey, you two are thinking too much, right?"
The familiar voice, light and lazy, with a hint of pride, has not changed at all.
The man in white immediately raised his eyes, and the moonlight shone on his face, his stunning face and tight lips.
Hearing her voice, what rose in his heart was the joy and satisfaction of suddenly finding a lighthouse when he was abandoned a long time ago and drifting in the vast sea. Although the light of the lighthouse was unstable, it was warm and bright just looking at it.
Bright, shining.

The last years of the Ming Dynasty were a mess, with unjust, false and wrongful cases emerging one after another, and many of the systems implemented were unreasonable.
