The bay near Haicheng late at night is no longer as bright as when the lanterns first came on.
The lights from the night watch in the Navy camp are scattered in the embrace of the camp, as if the entire Haicheng has fallen into a deep sleep.
Although Oda Trading Company has closed, in his reception room, President Oda Shinji is anxiously waiting for the man in black to appear.
"It's already midnight, why haven't you arrived yet?"
Hearing the sound of the clock coming from the street, Oda Shinji couldn't sit still and started pacing back and forth on the ground.
Suddenly a black shadow flashed out of the window.
Oda Shinji was secretly happy.
He carefully opened the door of the living room, and the man in black finally appeared in front of him.
"senior" "We say inside" Oda Shinji quickly invited the man in black into the hall, looked around and closed the door.
"Oda-kun, why are you so anxious to call me over?"
the man in black asked hurriedly.
"Senior, I invite you here because I want to report to you the results of the day's actions."
Oda Shinji reported respectfully.
The man in black nodded in response.
"Um" "I have followed the instructions of my seniors and made a trick to let Qingfeng and others change their clothes.
They should be able to avoid the interrogation of Marquis Shengjue's men," Oda Shinji said with a sigh of relief.
"They have successfully evaded the interrogation arranged by Hou Shengjue at the city gate," the man in black said calmly.
"Seniors already know it."
Oda Shinji was a little surprised when he heard it, but if he thought about it carefully, for an important town like Haicheng, there must be many warriors from the empire lurking here.
If the man in black wants to know the progress of something, in fact, It’s not too difficult either.
"They have changed their appearance again and are preparing to thoroughly investigate the details of the fishermen's disappearance," the man in black said seriously.
"Senior, how can I serve the empire?"
Oda Shinji asked.
The man in black smiled and replied.
"Oda-kun, from now on you have to keep an eye on one person."
"Senior please make it clear" "This person is none other than Hou Shengjue, the magistrate of Haitian County," the man in black said calmly.
"Senior, what's so important about Hou Shengjue?
He already has the leverage in our hands."
Oda Shinji asked in confusion.
The man in black shook his head repeatedly and explained to Oda Shinji calmly.
"Oda-kun, you are thinking too simply.
People in the Qing Dynasty love to default on their debts.
The little leverage we have in our hands now about Marquis Shengjue cannot completely make him obedient."
"That's according to senior's wishes," Oda Shinji asked.
"You send people to keep an eye on Hou Shengjue at all times, and we will kill someone with a borrowed knife," the man in black replied calmly.
"Isn't that one of the thirty-six strategies of the Qing people to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
Senior is really a pure Qing master."
Oda Shinji's admiration for the man in black was beyond words.
"Oda-kun, in the Qing Dynasty we must learn their culture so that we can understand their thoughts and use them for our benefit," the man in black said proudly.
"I'm deeply inspired by what the senior said.
You want Qingfeng to find some more handles for us to control Hou Shengjue, and then we can hit it with one blow," Oda Shinji boldly guessed.
After hearing what Oda Shinji said, the man in black smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"Oda-kun, you are right.
This is my plan to kill people with a borrowed knife.
However, we will not kill Hou Shengjue, but make good use of him."

"Senior has foresight and is worthy of being an elite of the empire," Oda Shinji said sincerely.
"Oda-kun, I'm sorry.
I hope to work with you to make great contributions to the empire, so that the empire's cultivation for you and me will not be in vain."
The man in black said, patting Oda Shinji on the shoulder sincerely.
Let's talk about Han Yongzhong and Old Man Li carrying the food back to where Qingfeng and the others were waiting.
They greeted everyone and filled their bellies.
Qingfeng rearranged her hair, and then they left Haitian County smoothly together and hurried towards Jiaoshi Town, where Old Li's fishing village belongs.
"Dad Li, why is that town called Jiaoshi Town?"
Xin Yun asked curiously.
Before Old Man Li could speak, Tian Guang had an explanation.
"Oh, little master, you are so smart and you still can't figure it out.
It's perfectly normal for a town next to the sea to be called Reef Town."
"The reef is also in the sea, so what does it have to do with the name of this town?"
Xin Yun asked rhetorically.
"This" Tian Guang was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer.
Old Man Li said with a smile.
"If we follow ordinary people's understanding, Tian Guang's explanation is the most reasonable."
"Ah, no, Father Li, does it mean that the origin of Reef Town has nothing to do with Reef?"
Tian Guang heard the mystery from Old Man Li's words and said with some helplessness.
"The young master is also making mistakes.
The origin of the name of Jiaoshi Town has nothing to do with Jiaoshi," Old Man Li said calmly.
"Oh, Heavenly Master, listen, after what Old Man Li said, I found it a bit interesting."
Han Yongzhong on the side didn't pay attention at first.
After hearing what Old Man Li said, he became interested out of curiosity and said to Qingfeng with a smile.
"Master Han must have traveled to many places when he was young, and may have seen many place names that were created due to misinformation," Qingfeng said calmly.
"The Heavenly Master is right.
I did travel to many places when I was young.
As you said, the names of many places are due to slips of the tongue."
Han Yongzhong nodded repeatedly, expressing his deep views on Qingfeng.
Agree.
"Some place names are misrepresented as elegant because they are too vulgar; and some place names are misrepresented because of homophones.
The origin of the name of Jiaoshi Town must be somewhat strange," Qingfeng continued to say calmly.
"Then what kind of misinformation does the origin of the name of Jiaoshi Town belong to?"
Han Yongzhong asked curiously.
"I can't explain clearly, I just have a hunch," Qingfeng replied with a slight smile.
"Master Han, the Heavenly Master hit the point just casually.
The name of the Jiaoshi Town is indeed a misinformation, and there is also a little-known legend."
Old Man Li reported to Han Yongzhong seriously.
"Ah, Dad Li, there is another legend that you should tell everyone about," Xin Yun, who loves listening to stories the most, urged hurriedly.
Old Man Li nodded and spoke to everyone calmly.
"Everyone doesn't know that this Jiaoshi Town was originally called Jiao Shi Town."
"Dad Li, this is different.
They are all in Reef Town," Tian Guang said with a smile.
Old Man Li immediately realized that his Haitian dialect was causing trouble, and continued to explain embarrassedly.
"The name of Jiaoshi Town was misunderstood because of its almost homophonic pronunciation.

It was originally the surname Jiao, and the envoy's envoy."
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what Old Man Li meant.
But the name Jiao Shi caught the attention of Qingfeng and Han Yongzhong.
Thank you all for your continued attention:
