"What's the matter?" Gu Ruyang asked.

Seeing Gu Ruyang's face was full of smiles, Zhaoyang didn't know how to say those words, so he stroked Gu Ruyang's hand, thinking in his heart that he should say those words.

"Why didn't you talk?" Gu Ruyang asked again.

"I'm afraid to say it, Ru Yang doesn't want to hear it." After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he sighed, Gu Ru Yang didn't want to hear it, and she actually didn't want to mention it to her.

Gu Ruyang raised her eyebrows, she was in high spirits now, even if it was Zhaoyang who hesitated to speak, she still thought it was cute, she didn't care what Zhaoyang wanted to say.

"I love to hear what you say." Gu Ruyang stroked Zhaoyang's hair with a doting look on his face.

But how can the words be as easy as Gu Ruyang said, Zhaoyang felt a torment in his heart, on one side was his country's hatred and family hatred, on the other side was his beloved, if he didn't say it, he would be sorry for his dead mother and those who fought for him. The sacrificed soldier, but if it is said that there will be another layer of estrangement between her and Gu Ruyang.

"Ruyang..." Zhaoyang clenched Gu Ruyang's hand, she was thinking, but finally forced out a smiling face: "I love you."

How did Gu Ruyang know that there would be such a sudden confession? Although the two had long been pleased with each other and went to the cloud and rain together, the love was so important. Gu Ruyang always thought that he would be the first to speak out, but he did not expect to be caught by Zhao. Yang took the lead.But Gu Ruyang is not a stupid person. After all, he manages tens of thousands of people, and he understands people's hearts and minds. She did have something important to discuss.

Gu Ruyang held Zhaoyang in her arms, and she asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

The more gentle Gu Ruyang was, the more Zhaoyang didn't know what to say. She was a little hesitant and sad, and even more hesitant. For the first time, this brave princess didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her eyes. thing.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

"No!" Zhaoyang said, "I can't hide it from you."

Zhaoyang sat up from Gu Ruyang's arms, she sat face to face with Gu Ruyang, staring into Gu Ruyang's eyes, Zhaoyang exhausted all her sincerity, she said word by word: "Wanshigang belongs to Fei The county, headed by the Gu family and all merchants in Hong Kong, need to pay taxes to Fei County according to the Dazhou law."

Gu Ruyang could feel that her smile was gradually stiffening. She had thought about the ten thousand possibilities that Zhaoyang might have mentioned, but this matter was really beyond her expectation. Taxes?In Gu Ruyang's world, Fei County has always been only a part of Wanshi Port, and paying taxes to Fei County is a big joke in the world!

"Yi'an, are you joking?"

Zhaoyang frowned and nodded cruelly: "I'm serious."

Zhaoyang showed the posture that the eldest princess should have, and said: "We are together, no matter whether we have expected the ending like today or not, this marriage is for Nianguicheng and Wanshigang to have a good relationship for a hundred years. I am so happy with you, so happy that I almost forget how my mother died!"

But that gesture gradually faded with Zhaoyang's mood: "But...but how can I forget the hatred because of ease? I only hope that one day I can return to the land of Hokuriku and put my mother's clothes on Buried in the land of Hokuriku, so Ruyang...I...For all of this, I can only do this."

Gu Ruyang became quiet, and she was also quiet at the same time as she was a little excited just now. She didn't know how to respond to Zhao Yang's words. It is impossible for Wanshigang to be a pirate forever. Even He Sansi knows this. Only Nianguicheng's rice and technology can change the fate of Taiping Island at this time.But Gu Ruyang didn't want to do that, she didn't want Zhaoyang to be the bargaining chip with her.

"Okay, I see." Gu Ruyang also knew that this question cannot be avoided, she got up from the couch and said to Zhaoyang: "I can't decide this matter alone, we can discuss it after Master Du comes back."

"Are you... are you leaving again?" Zhao Yang asked, it seemed to be the same last night, when it came to business, Gu Ruyang was like a general who abandoned his armor, just turned and left.

"What are you staying for?" Gu Ruyang's voice became cold: "Sign an agreement with you?"

Zhaoyang clenched his lips, Gu Ruyang had already reached a dead end, and it would only be wrong for the two of them to continue talking.

"No more, Mr. Gu."

The sound of Gu Ruyang slamming the door was like a drumstick knocking on Zhaoyang's heart, making her feel pained and sad. She knew that there was nothing wrong with what she did, the fault was that she and Gu Ruyang were in love other side.

Gu Ruyang's departure also brought Fengjian and Fengdi in. The two saw that the corners of Zhaoyang's eyes were slightly red, and knew that the young couple had a quarrel without saying much. They thought that the princess and the son-in-law were making progress by leaps and bounds, but As if it had dropped to freezing point in an instant, Feng Di quickly tidied up the room, and asked Zhao Yang to get up from the couch and go to sit at the desk.

Feng Jian was more straightforward, she asked Zhaoyang: "What's wrong with the princess?"

"It's nothing." Zhaoyang didn't want to say more, and the two maids wouldn't understand some things.

"I see that the son-in-law's face is not good-looking." Feng Jian said: "It is common for a family to have friction."

Zhaoyang smiled dryly, and she said to Feng Jian: "Go find some soothing incense, and bring the pen and ink, I still have some official duties to deal with."

After Zhaoyang finished talking, Fengjian went to prepare, but Fengjian's words were still in Zhaoyang's heart, relatives?Gu Ruyang is her son-in-law, a close relative other than her father, and naturally also her family, but if this is really a family matter, why are they so embarrassing.

Gu Ruyang was not the only one who was so drunk, You Erniang was in worse condition than Gu Ruyang, and she didn't wake up from her sleep until after noon. She didn't feel half sober, and what was worse than Gu Ruyang was that Master Gu was sent back by Zeng Shi for nine days, and she herself was still in the bird boat where she drank last night, and there was no one around her to serve her.

You Erniang found a bucket of water in the boat, and tidied up her face casually. She tried hard to recall what it was like to be drunk yesterday, but she vaguely felt that Zeng Shiqian had kissed her face twice, and she didn't know if it was true. Fake, You Erniang shuddered at the thought of this.

Since it was such a trembling scene, You Erniang didn't want to recall any more. She walked out of the canopy in an attempt to stretch her bones, but when she opened the curtains, she was really stunned. Only a boat, an island, she looked at the anchor again, this damn thing is still hanging by the side of the boat, the three of them drank happily yesterday and completely forgot to put the anchor down, that’s good, nothing happened while drinking, she fell asleep After leaving this boat, I don't know where it came from.

Erniang touched her body again, and finally found a compass she had snatched back from the Westerners. She compared the position of the sun, and finally settled on the direction. She didn't bring any assistants on the boat. One person, which means she has to push the boat back to Wanshi Harbor alone.

Thinking of this, You Erniang cursed a curse word: "Grandmother."

You Erniang had to show her arms, and slid the boat up vigorously. After becoming the Four Heavenly Kings, she had never done this kind of work again, and it was a bit difficult to do it again, but it was well controlled and stable. She was heading towards Taiping Island. Thinking about the wind and waves last night, the boat was only [-] nautical miles away. You Erniang was still rowing vigorously, but after a while, she only felt that there was a foreign object on her right paddle.

You Erniang got up and looked out of the boat, only to see a man's body floating on the water. The body was soaked to a certain extent, and his face could not be seen clearly, but from the clothes, it looked like a sailor under her command. Pulled that person over, she had seen such corpses a lot at sea, except for a little smell, there was nothing disgusting to her. Out of a sense of responsibility as a ship boss, she began to turn over the corpse to find the shadow of the former person. Next, she can give her relatives an explanation.

She has tattoos, so naturally she also likes tattoos, so she simply took off the clothes of the corpse, first to see if there is anything in the clothes, and second, to see what tattoos are on this body, maybe To know who the deceased is.

Suddenly You Erniang came across an oily paper bag, but it was different from the paper bags you usually see. This paper bag was only the size of a copper coin, but it was very delicate. At first glance, it was something from Hokuriku or Nianguicheng. You Erniang opened the bag and shook it out , something really fell out.

"This is..." You Erniang picked up the dropped object and looked at it, it was clearly a note: "Is there any news?"

You Erniang opened the note, and sure enough, there was something written on it, but it was not what she wanted to convey. It said very strangely: "On the seventh day of the lunar new year, three hundred white fish, 24 boxes of spices, and two boxes of iron 170."

This is obviously recording something. You Erniang wanted to go along Chu Qi. She sent [-] boxes of white fish back to Wanshi Harbor that day. As for the spices and iron, she didn’t know. He Sansi was mainly responsible for these. , but what is certain is that this note conveyed the movement of that day, but the conveyer died here now.

"Could it be... There are traitors?" Wan Erniang said to herself, she didn't know where the strength came from, she pulled the boat violently and headed towards Taiping Island again.

Luo Qiaoniang counted the list of goods that had recently entered the port submitted by the Green Bee Group. She had known the huge capacity of Wanshi Port for a long time, but it was even more surprising to her now that these clear sights were listed in front of her eyes. While recording the accounts, she thought about the fear of such taxes. It must be difficult to complete. Wanshigang's tax revenue in January can be compared to Min County's three months. If the money can enter the national treasury, the day of Dazhou's revival will not be far away.

"Ma'am, it seems that one day's information is missing." The man who punted the boat that day squatted beside Qiao Niang, pointing to the tent and said.

"I asked Hu'er to check the accounts of the seventh day of the lunar new year, but I haven't come back yet." Qiao Niang said, she already had a bad feeling in her heart, but after joining the Green Bee Group, it was half a step forward. gate of hell.

"Don't have an accident," said the man.

"I hope so."
