Ming Dynasty: My Father Zhang Juzheng

Chapter 89 Dog Training
After a while, Han San returned with a man and a woman.

The man was tall and thin, with prominent cheekbones and a face as sharp as a knife. At first glance, one could tell that he was unruly.

The girl was cute and well-behaved, with a round face like a duck egg, a white neck, and breasts the size of eggplants.

The most important thing is that there is a slight bulge in the lower abdomen.

Although it was only a little, it was obvious that she was pregnant.

At this moment, the woman's face was full of panic, and she kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Please, please, let me and my husband go, please, sirs, let us go."

"My wife, my wife, you don't have to beg them!" The man twisted his body and struggled frantically.

"Oh, you're still a tough guy?" Han San smiled and kicked him in the back. The man stumbled forward and fell. Han San stepped forward and pressed the man's head on the deck. With a ferocious face, he shouted coldly: "If you are so tough, why do you become a thief?"

"Not only did you board our ship, but you also dared to steal my food."

"Bah, we paid money, we didn't sneak on board." The man's face turned red and he yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Hey, did you pay for the meal? Who did you pay for it? Anyway, I didn't take your money." Han San smiled coldly, and suddenly a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he threatened, "If you dare to make a noise again, do you believe that I will throw you all into the sea to feed the fish?"

The thin man's eyes widened with anger, and he was about to answer, but the woman hurriedly knelt forward, covered the man's lips with her hands, and then shook her head with red eyes and said, "We dare not, we dare not, please let us go, sir."

"Alright, alright, it's just some food. It would be a waste if we can't finish it anyway, so just consider it as a good deed." Zhang Yunxiu, who was standing aside, understood the whole story and said nonchalantly without getting angry.

"Yes." Han San smiled flatteringly, then turned his head, glared at the two and said, "Alright, this time our young master is kind-hearted, so I'll let you go first. If there's a next time, I won't let you off easily."

"Thank you, sir." The woman nodded and smiled apologetically.

The man raised his neck and looked at Zhang Yunxiu.

Judging from the attitude of these people, this young man should be the leader of this group. Being able to control such a large fleet at such a young age, his status should be quite high.

"Sir, I didn't steal the food on purpose, but my wife is pregnant and can't starve."

The man said this with a sad face. Zhang Yunxiu sneered secretly and asked him, "Oh, you can steal when you can't make ends meet? What's the logic behind this?"

"If that's what you said, then there are many people in the world who don't have enough food to eat. Do we have to take care of all of them?"

I can magnanimously forgive you for stealing, but it doesn't make sense for you to be so self-righteous about it.

Han San observed his expression and sneered, "That's right. Not only do you have no ability, but you also make your wife suffer with you. And you are a Korean. Why don't you stay in Korea and follow us on the ship?"

The man said nothing, but took out two silver ingots from his pocket and slapped them on the table.

"Oh, I didn't realize you were wearing rags, but you still have some stuff on you." Han San grinned and asked jokingly, "You were living well in Korea, why did you run away? Did you commit some crime in Korea and want to escape to Ming Dynasty?"

"You don't have a Ming household registration, so you'll be put in jail wherever you go."

"Ah?!" the woman screamed in surprise, then looked at her husband timidly.

The man nodded to his wife to let her know she was relieved, then ignored Han San, his knees softened, and he knelt down in front of Zhang Yunxiu and said, "I know you are a noble man. If you are willing to save me this time, I will work like a slave in the future and repay your kindness."

As he spoke, he untied his belt under the gaze of everyone and took out a small bag inside.

When I opened it, I found seven or eight golden bars. The blood-red sunset shone on them, and the gold bars emitted an extremely strange light.

Zhang Yunxiu waved his hand, and his attendant came forward and ordered someone to take the gold bar. He weighed it in his hand and said with a smile, "It's quite heavy. With so much gold, how can it not be enough for you?"

At this point, Zhang Yunxiu threw the gold bar onto the table with a clang, crossed his legs and asked, "Tell me, what did you do wrong in North Korea?"

The man's expression changed and he was a little hesitant.

Han San, who was standing by, saw that he didn't say anything, and his face turned ferocious. He shouted coldly: "Young Master is asking you a question, are you deaf? If you don't say anything, I will throw you two into the sea to feed the fish."

Frightened by this, the man gritted his teeth and explained the whole story to Zhang Yunxiu in detail.

Listen.

Zhang Yunxiu and Han San looked strange, it turned out that they were the ones who brought him with them.

According to the man's narration, the man's name was Li Ergou and the woman was his wife Li Min'er.

The two had made a lot of money by hoarding salt, but later the price of salt plummeted and they suffered heavy losses.

Finally, Li Ergou managed to sell his shares at a loss before the price of salt collapsed completely.

But after being used to a luxurious life, he couldn't go back to a simple life.

So, he decided to go all out. He gritted his teeth, took the silver that everyone had collected, and took his wife on board the Ming army's ship.

He originally thought that as long as he had money, he could be a boss anywhere.
Unexpectedly, he was caught as soon as he got on the boat.

"Li Ergou." Zhang Yunxiu called out tentatively.

Li Ergou hurriedly knelt forward and said, "I'm here."

"I'll take the money. From now on, you'll be working under me. But I don't like people who betray their friends. I can let it go, but if you dare to do it again, you know the consequences."

"Yes. Yes."

"Get up." Zhang Yunxiu waved his hand, signaling him to get up, and then pointed at the food on the table and said, "We are full, it would be a waste if we don't eat, so just let your wife eat it."

"Thank you, sir." Li Ergou hurriedly stood up, holding his knees, then led Min'er forward and sat down.

Zhang Yunxiu shook his head and walked to the other side of the deck. Han San followed closely behind him and warned him solemnly, "Sir, this man betrayed his friends and is a traitor. He is not a good person at first glance. If you accept him, he will be a disaster sooner or later."

Without giving a direct answer, Zhang Yunxiu and Han San started talking about wild cotton: "I remember when I was a kid, I was playing on the street and a big dog suddenly jumped towards me.

Fortunately, my servant was loyal and protected me behind him despite the big dog's bite, so I was able to survive."

"Later, my servant ordered people to hang the dog up, beat it several times, and starve it several times. The dog was very obedient when it saw me, and I wagged its tail every time."

Han San smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry, sir. I promise to train this dog well for you."
