Fucha Mingsi didn't ask any more questions. The two talked about the railway plan for a while, and then Bobo went back to rest.

Bobo was indeed on guard against Liu Wenyu, so he sent out a convoy early the next morning, starting from the mansion, while he instructed Xu Nian to make other preparations.

I originally thought this preparation was completely unnecessary, but it turned out to be useful. However, it wasn't the Japanese pirates; it turned out to be people who opposed the Qing dynasty and sought to restore the Ming dynasty.

"Your Highness, what should we do with the people we've captured?"

Should we interrogate him now, or take him back to the capital for interrogation?

"The journey back to the capital for further interrogation isn't long; we'll arrive tomorrow."

"yes."

"By the way, drug them and knock them out. There's too much trouble when they're awake."

"This servant understands. This servant takes his leave."

In the capital, Yinzhen received Bobo's letter. After reading it, he sent people to investigate. Liu Wenyu was originally from Guangzhou, a place where all sorts of people came and went. It was a mixed bag, and it was necessary to investigate Liu Wenyu's true situation.

Who exactly is he? What kind of accomplices does he have? When did he begin colluding with the Japanese pirates? What did he do? How did he pass on messages? How many other people are like him...?

These all need to be investigated.

When Yinzhen saw the Japanese pirates, many things came to mind, such as the gunfire and cannon fire that would erupt in the Forbidden City a hundred years later, and the tragic desolation on this land.

The term "Wokou" refers to pirates who came from the sea, but many of them were spies sent by Japan. Real Wokou, seeking only wealth, would not have gone to such lengths to collude with officials of the Qing Dynasty. Such behavior suggests they were not true Wokou, but rather spies.

Yunrong understood her partner's feelings very well.

"What's wrong with you today? You seem a little unhappy. Isn't Bobo coming back?"

Yinzhen didn't hide it and said, "Bobo sent a message back and found out that the magistrate of Jinghai County was actually colluding with the Japanese pirates."

Yunrong: "Japanese pirates? You mean Japan?"

Yinzhen nodded: "No one paid attention before. I didn't expect that before I even had a chance to settle accounts with them, they would come to me on their own initiative."

What are you planning to do?

"Let's follow the clues and investigate further. If we have enough evidence, it's not impossible to send troops once the navy is built up and its naval equipment is strong."

Yunrong didn't think there was anything wrong with what Yinzhen said.

"Let's investigate first!"
