Chapter 506

"Thank you, your highness."

With a strong smile on her face, lvluo salutes Xiao Ming, revealing two rows of white teeth.

With a slight nod, Xiao Ming indicates that lvluo can go to Fei yue'er, while he takes Zhao long and Zhao Hu to Qingzhou prison.

Through the dark and humid passage, Xiao Ming meets Meng Youliang in the deepest part of the prison.

Although Meng Youliang was kept in the dungeon during this period, his food and clothing expenses were different from those of other prisoners, and he was not wronged at all.

After all, even the head of the prison knows that he is lvluo's brother, and lvluo is the maid of the king of Qi.

When he was in Dengzhou, Meng Youliang had already seen Xiao Ming. When he heard the sound of footsteps, Xiao Ming immediately climbed down from the bed.

"Criminal Meng Youliang has met his highness." Meng Youliang said nervously.

Xiao Ming looks at Meng Youliang. He is wearing new clothes, and his bedding is new. The cell is a single room. There are leftovers, a bowl of rice, a plate of pickles and a plate of green beans on the table mountain.

"You've had a good time in prison." Xiao Ming has a smile on his face.

Meng Youliang said with a smile: "thank your Highness for your kindness, otherwise the grass people would not have such a great grace."

"What you should thank most is your sister, who sent you all these things." Xiao Ming snorted coldly, "but your heart is cruel enough. You never care about her life or death."

Meng Youliang's face darkened and his expression was sad. He said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, the grass people know that they are sorry for her. If it wasn't for the impulse, she would not have sold herself. The grass people have been regretting all these years."

"You still have a conscience." Xiao Ming snorted coldly, "it's no accident that I came to see you today. It's just that lvluo has done a lot for me during this period. I love her and want to give her a reward. I never thought that she still cares about you in her heart."

"This silly girl." Meng Youliang was more and more sad when he heard the speech, and his voice was choked. He suddenly knelt down and said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, the grass people are not the people who know Japanese. I beg your highness to let the grass people out. The grass people don't want to compensate for themselves, but just want to spend the rest of their life to compensate lvluo."

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said, "I have confirmed the news you have brought. The Japanese do have plans to attack the state of Dayu, but you have been among the Japanese for so long, and you have injured many fishermen in Dengzhou. It's hard to believe that you have bad deeds."

Meng Youliang lowered his head, "Your Highness, at the beginning, the grassroots were forced to do it by the Japanese pirates. If the grassroots didn't do it, they would not be able to get into the Japanese pirates and find their enemies, but every time the grassroots left room."

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming said: "I believe you are innocent now, but if it is true as you said, I don't want to let a meritorious person be shamed, coupled with lvluo's request, so you are free now."

"Can we go?" Meng Youliang couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, after you get out of prison, find a way to make a living." Xiao Ming said lightly.

Meng Youliang was stunned. He didn't react to this sudden change for a moment, but when he came back, he suddenly said, "Your Highness Xie, it's just that the grass people are used to living on the sea, and don't want to carry the charge of tongwo. Please give the grass people a chance to prove themselves."

"Just like you proved that you really wanted to be a Japanese pirates?" Xiao Ming asked sarcastically that Meng Youliang really bothered him.

Meng Youliang's face turned red, and he opened his mouth. He suddenly sighed deeply, "a mistake has become eternal hatred. The grassroots really deserve it."

"But..." Just when Meng Youliang secretly regrets, Xiao Ming's words suddenly change.

Meng Youliang suddenly raised his head, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope, "also hope your highness."

Xiao Ming thought for a moment and said, "if you really want to prove yourself, there is a way. Now our king has controlled the coastal routes and defeated the Japanese pirates in Ryukyu. In the future, the Japanese pirates will surely retaliate against our king at sea. After all, there are many Japanese pirates and have been at sea for many years. They will not be so willing to lose to our king. In our opinion, the way to deal with the pirates is very important It's pirates. If you want to prove yourself, it's better to wipe out the Japanese pirates at sea for our king. "

"Destroy the Japanese pirates at sea?" Meng Youliang's forehead was covered with sweat. He said, "Your Highness, the number of Japanese pirates is 80000. These people are scattered on the sea. Sometimes they gather, sometimes they are scattered and difficult to deal with. How can we eliminate these 80000 Japanese pirates with the help of the grass people?"

"It's because you think it's hard that you can prove your value, but the word pirates seems to be a bit inappropriate. What I asked you to do is actually the business of privatizing ships. Have you ever heard of privatizing ships since you've been on the sea with Japanese pirates for so many years?" Xiao Ming asked.

Meng Youliang understood, he said: "CaoMing understood, CaoMing really heard of privateering, in fact, they are just a group of pirates, but they are for the country to rob enemy merchant ships, attack each other's pirates."

"Yes, it's such a pirate. Since you have been at sea for so many years, you can't even pull up a ship of people." Xiao Ming seems to ask unintentionally."Your Highness, the grass people can pull up a boat of people. Many of the Japanese pirates' seamen are actually fishermen along the coast, and some of them are businessmen. Among them, the number of the real Japanese pirates is no more than 30000. The grass people have known a lot of people at sea these years."

"In this case, I'll give you a boat and make you the first captain of a privateer in Dayu, OK?" Xiao Ming said with a smile.

In fact, Xiao Ming and Meng Youliang said today that this was not a whim, but that he had considered for some time that in the next few years, the number of his naval warships would not be able to compete with the real European powers at sea. Moreover, according to Claire, European powers have been supporting privateering or piracy.

On the one hand, this is to supplement the lack of naval strength. At the same time, when one's own merchant ships are attacked by privateering ships of other countries at sea, it can also be applied to the retaliatory plunder of the other's merchant ships by privateering ships to recover the losses. After all, when the law of the jungle and there are no international rules, the merchant ships can not be compensated through formal channels.

"Of course, you can also choose to refuse and live the life that Wang said." Xiao Ming added.

After a moment's hesitation, Meng Youliang said, "Your Highness, I'd like to be the captain of the privateer, but what if we encounter the fleet of Dayu at sea? Yue Yun still hates me. "

"It's very simple. The chamber of Commerce will issue you a plunder license. From then on, you are the secret power of the king's sea."
