The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

Even if Xun Feiguang doesn't remember the past, his majesty is still full when his face is cold, which makes people fearful.

A long line of people were taken into Qing Lingwei's prison and guarded separately.

Xun Feiguang took Shaoxin and Xun Jiu to interrogate overnight, Shen Ge was also there, and beside him were literate soldiers who spread out their pens and ink to record.

Xun Feiguang sat there with a big horse and golden knife, even if he didn't do anything, it was scary enough. The old man of the Li family turned pale and kowtowed tremblingly, "My lord, my little one..."

Shaoxin took Xingmu and patted the table lightly, sat on the chair and looked at the old man kneeling on the ground, "Master Li, let's talk after we think about it. There are so many children and grandchildren under your knees, don't be burdened and go to Huangquan together."

The old man of the Li family nodded repeatedly, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Yes, yes, please ask, my lord, I will know everything I can say, but if I lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

Shao Xin snorted softly, "It doesn't matter if there is a thunderstorm, we living people don't care about God's affairs, you should be careful with your family's heads. After all, how long has your family been with Yang Yi?"

"That's what happened this year. Some Yangyi came to me and said they wanted to buy some grain. I was obsessed with it. When I saw that the price offered by Yangyi was high, I just sold some of them."

"I can't see more than this year's events?" Xun Jiu stared at him with black eyes, which looked very permeable under the light of the torch, "Someone saw your family contacting Yang Yi the year before last. Last June, a grain merchant Come to collect grain, your family sold [-] shi less than last year, and you said you want to store some grain. This year your family bought [-] shi less than last year, where did the grain go?"

Mr. Li was sweating profusely, his face turned pale, his mouth was open and he could hardly speak.

Shao Xin patted Xing Mu again, "If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, and you haven't really brought it on!"

This burst of drinking made Old Man Li tremble in shock, he rolled his eyes, fell straight down and passed out, a smell of hot urine wafted from the small space.

The faces of all the people present did not change, Shao Xin gave a wink, and the soldier with a knife standing beside him immediately went over to check, and clapped his hands to report: "Master, he peed his pants because of the fright, and he is now unconscious."

Mr. Li was old, so he couldn't help being frightened, Shao Xin glanced at the people on the ground, and said, "Bring the eldest man of the Li family here!"

"No." The soldiers dragged Mr. Li down.

Dalang from the Li family was quickly escorted over, and Shao Xin cut to the chase and asked the dark man kneeling below: "Li Dalang, your family started doing business with Yang Yi the year before last, how many things have your family sold over the years? Where is the ledger?"

Da Lang of the Li family was still trembling, Shao Xin said lightly: "Answer after you think about it, this is the only chance for your family to redeem your sins, if you don't answer, you will commit a serious crime to the enemy, and I have no choice but to drag your parents, wife, children and family out to live I want to thank all the heroic spirits who died in the battle with Yang Yi."

Li Jia Dalang was dripping with cold sweat, "The ledger, the ledger is buried under my father's bed."

"Your family communicates with foreigners, so besides food, you must have prepared a lot of weapons, right?"

"My lord, I am wronged. We ordinary people are just greedy for money, so we dare not use swords and guns..."

Xun Jiu interrupted him, "On March [-] this year, you personally took people to the Yangyi ship and brought back eight loads of things. Where are those things?"

Li Dalang suddenly felt like a duck being strangled, he couldn't even scream, and went dumb.

Shen Ge glanced at Xun Jiu in surprise, he didn't expect that Xun Jiu knew so much about Nanguan, that such information could be obtained.

Shao said: "You recruit, we will save your children's life, if you don't recruit, we can slowly find after the family goes to see the King of Hades."

Xun Jiu smiled ambiguously, his eyes still dark, "You are not the only one who knows these things, if you don't recruit, whoever will get the chance to make a difference."

Dalang Li's complexion changed, he kowtowed heavily after a pause, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's all in the dry well in the backyard. Yang Yi discovered gold and iron mines on the island outside the year before last, and pulled a large number of mines. People used to dig, so they would come here every now and then to buy grain. Not only my family, but also the Jiang family and the Zhao family have sold grain and bought knives. The Jiang family also has a big boat hidden in Feiyu Bay, and it goes out to sea from time to time."

"I've told you everything I know, sir. I beg for your grace." Li Jia Dalang kowtowed after he finished speaking, and the blood from his forehead flowed all over his face.

"Jiang family, Zhao family." Xun Feiguang looked calm, "The water is deeper than I thought."

"The little one dare not hide it!"

"Shao Xin, you take 500 people to surround Jiang's house, and Xun Jiu takes 500 people to surround Zhao's house. Be quick and don't leak the news. The water depth is just right for a big fish to come out."

"Yes." Shao Xin and Xun Jiu cupped their hands.

Shao said: "Master, don't worry, I will let people watch these houses, so I can't escape."

Xun Fei glanced at Li Jia Dalang who was kneeling on the ground, "Take him down, don't treat him slowly."

"promise!"

The soldiers standing around dragged Li Jiadalang down.

Shen Ge watched him staggering forward, sighed secretly in his heart, he did not do well, ran to join the enemy, and ended up in this end.

Xun Feiguang turned his head to see him, stretched out his hand to pull him up, his expression softened suddenly, "Sleepy?"

Shen Ge didn't feel it at first, but when he asked such a question, all the sleepiness in his heart came up, and he couldn't help rubbing his eyes, "It's a little bit."

Xun Feiguang gently pushed him on the shoulder, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep."

"What about you?"

"I'll interrogate a few foreigners and come over later."

Shen Ge shook his head, held his wrist with his backhand, looked into his eyes, "Brother Xun, let me accompany you, let's catch up on sleep together tomorrow."

Seeing that he persisted, Xun Feiguang summoned the soldiers to whisper a few words, and the soldiers ran out quickly, and came back with a bowl of sweet soup after a while.

"Use something first."

Xun Feiguang ordered the soldiers to bring up Yang Yi who had two teeth knocked out and could speak Dayan's official dialect.

That Yangyi's face was swollen high, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes when he was brought up, but he still stood there, poking his neck and said: "We are here for business, you have no reason to lock us up!"

This time without Xun Feiguang's orders, two soldiers behind him kicked his knees, and with a bang, they pressed him firmly on the dirt floor of the prison.

Shen Ge sat next to Xun Feiguang, glanced at him, and asked, "Have you killed the people of Great Swallow all these years?"

"Nothing!" Yang Yi quibbled indistinctly, "We have always made money through harmony."

Xun Feiguang cast his cold eyes on him, and he visibly flinched, not daring to shout anymore.

Shen Ge asked: "Where did the Great Swallow people on your island come from?"

"It's none of our business, it's because they voluntarily go to the island to earn money. We send them a lot of money every month."

"Oh? How many Dayan people are there on your island?"

Yang Yi's eyes flashed, "Not many, just four or five."

"These daring gangsters dare to openly go to sea in violation of the order, and they don't take us seriously!" Shen Ge's burst of shouting startled Yang Yi, Shen Ge didn't look at Yang Yi, but turned to look at Xun Feiguang, "We have to bring those troublemakers back!"

Xun Feiguang said from the side: "This matter must not be tolerated, and we will let people go after dawn."

Shen Ge seemed to have lost his anger, and asked Yang Yi, "What's your name?"

"Smith, my name is Smith."

"Success, you can lead us the way tomorrow."

Smith dared not respond.

Seeing this, Shen Ge said to the soldiers on the side: "Go and bring over other Yangyi who can speak Dayan dialect. Tell them that Yangyi who can't speak Dayan dialect are useless, don't waste food, go hungry first, and pass the time." It was chopped off in a few days."

"promise."

Shen Ge turned his head, looked Smith up and down, smiled and said to him: "A useless person does not deserve to live. I wonder if you are useful? Do you want to die or live?"

Looking at his handsome smiling face, Smith couldn't help shivering as if seeing a man-eating sea monster. These Dayan officials have always been cruel, and Smith knew they would do what they said.

"Huh? No talking?"

"I, I, I want to live!"

"If you want to live, cooperate well. If you behave well, we can send you out afterwards." Shen Ge still smiled like a flower, but the words he said were particularly sinister, "If you lie to us, then don't let us cut you alive." Blame me for being rude. There are still several foreigners in the prison waiting to give us news in exchange for survival, so be careful with your words."

"My lord, I dare not lie."

"How long will it take you to travel from the island to Li's house?"

"Half a day, when the weather is fine, start in the morning and arrive in the afternoon."

"On the island, there are Yangyi people, Dayan people, Japanese pirates, etc. How many people are there in total?"

"I only know that there are more than 600 people. I haven't counted how many people there are."

"Except for the Li family, the Jiang family, and the Zhao family, which other family do you have contact with?"

Smith replied in a strange official tone, "I-I don't know about that."

Shen Ge smiled tolerantly: "It seems that you know a little, but it doesn't matter, there will always be someone among your companions who knows."

Smith became more and more frightened, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and the sweat dripped into his eyes accidentally, which made his eyes hurt.

"How much food do you have on your island? How many days is enough for the people on the island?"

"Enough for a month, so Jeff asked us to come out and buy food?"

"Jeff is your leader?"

"Yes."

"How many of you came out to buy food? Where is the boat parked?"

Smith gritted his teeth, "Sixteen of them, six went to Li's house, and the other ten went to Jiang's house. The boat stopped at Feiyu Bay. It was originally agreed that people from Li's family would pick up the grain on board. We will go to sea at dawn. .”

"Thank you for the news." Shen Ge looked him up and down, and motioned to the soldiers standing beside him, "Pour Smith a glass of water to moisten his throat."

Smith drank a large mug of warm tea and settled down.At this time, there was a scream from the depths of the prison, and he trembled, almost dropping the cup.

Shen Ge listened attentively, shook his head, and said to Smith: "Our Dayan has an old saying, 'A man is a knife, and I am a fish'. It seems that your companion Dayan is not as good at learning the language as you."

Smith was so intimidated that he almost peed. Hearing this, he hurriedly nodded tremblingly.

"When was the gold mine and iron mine on your island discovered, and how much was mined? Where did it go?"

"Back to my lord, I discovered the iron ore the year before last. I was digging the iron ore. Last year, I discovered the gold mine next to it. Some of the iron ore was transported to make weapons. Not much gold was dug out, and part of it was taken by Jeff's People brought it back to Gege Continent."

"So, there is still a large pile of iron ore on the island?"

"Yes."

Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang looked at each other, and they both saw unexpected joy in each other's eyes.

Dayan was extremely strict with salt and iron, even Xun Feiguang couldn't get much iron.If there are iron mines in Yangyi, at least they can match Qing Lingwei's sword and shield.

Qing Lingwei was Xun Feiguang's private soldier. In the next year, another Yan army would come under Xun Feiguang's command to resist foreigners.At that time, there were so many people talking, it was hard to hide anything.

Xun Feiguang and the others knew the news now, and just in time to swallow this batch of gold and iron before Dayan's army arrived, it was impossible for this item to slip into their hands quietly.
