The rest of the Japanese people knelt down and asked for surrender. Only three people probably felt that they could not live, so they turned and woke up with only their servants around.

Xiao Gu Wei shook his head. The black thorn people didn't help. They all looked at the two Japanese people with dead eyes.

Fang Xing frowned and looked at the pirate kneeling on the ground and walked slowly past.

The servants suddenly stopped, and the two Japanese people were overjoyed. They saw that Fang Xing's identity was not low, and thought that as long as they could catch him, they could get away safely even in exchange.

Fang woke up as if he had not seen it and walked towards Cao Qi. When the two Japanese people rushed in ecstasy, an arrow flew, and a Japanese man on the left got an arrow in his forehead and stood on the spot.

At the same time, a throwing knife was accurately inserted into the throat of the Japanese man on the right.

When they were shaking, Fang woke up and walked through them. Immediately behind them came the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

"My Lord, he is Cao Qi."

A pirate immediately turned back and identified Cao Qi,

Fang Xing went to Cao Qi and asked, "where are Li Er's goods?"

Cao Qi looked up and Fang woke up close at hand, but he didn't dare to move. He could only honestly say, "Sir, it's in the warehouse."

"Very good!"

Fang Xing needed the goods to track down the big boss behind Li Er, so he was in a good mood and asked, "Why are you hanging out with the Japanese?"

Cao Qi said bitterly: "the small family is poor and can't go to sea to find a way to live. Later, the country of Japan disappeared. The small ones have no place to make money, so they brought them here. On weekdays, they go to rob those secretly trading ships in Luzon and other places..."

Although Daming has set the national policy of "official trade", Daming can have businessmen who go to sea without permission. Naturally, those countries will have them, and they are even more unscrupulous.

Fang Xing walked behind him and said, "you are single, but did you kill Daming people in those years?"

Cao Qi wanted to say no, but immediately saw that the eyes of those under him were full of begging. He was cold in his heart and bowed his head and said, "a small sin should die."

Fang woke up and pointed to the Japanese kneeling. The black thorn sergeants immediately went and tied them one by one.

"I said you were single. In that case, let you suffer less."

Cao Qi said gratefully, "thank you, sir. I promise you that every sentence is true."

……

Under the designation of Cao Qi, the pirates' warehouses were found and opened one by one.

As soon as Fang woke up, he was sneezed by the pungent smell of spices. He looked at the scattered goods inside and said, "it's not very useful to take the grain back. On the return trip, he gave it to the people of xiaoryukyu."

Cao Qi is very cooperative, so the search efficiency is very high.

After explaining everything, Cao Qi simply stood under a big tree, raised his bound hands and said, "uncle, my parents are gone, and I have no face to go back to the Central Plains again. The knife must be inconvenient. Please give me a rope and I'll break it myself."

Looking at Cao Qiyi's calm face, Fang woke up and said: "it's a man, but it's a pity that he went the wrong way. It doesn't matter. Ben Bo once said that it's nothing for us Daming people to kill and set fire outside, but you shouldn't do it to yourself..."

Cao Qi knelt on the ground and said with a bitter smile, "uncle, it's really not good. Just behead the little one here. The little one really doesn't want to go back to the Central Plains."

"Why don't you want to go back?"

The desire of the Han people to return to their roots is so deep-rooted that Fang Xing asked curiously.

Cao Qi hung his head and said nothing. At this time, a pirate shouted, "uncle, the father of the seventh brother was unable to pay the grain urging, and later he was tossed to death by the grain chiefs."

Fang Xing's heart was shocked, and the characters in the water margin turned again in his heart.

The pirate continued, "uncle, those Ming people killed by the seventh brother are pirates. They don't obey the rules and start fighting against the people of xiaoryukyu. The seventh brother took us to destroy them."

Fang woke up to see Cao Qi still hanging his head and asked, "but really?"

Cao Qi nodded slightly, "uncle, I killed the grain chief before I came out..."

"Happy gratitude and hatred!"

Fang woke up with a helpless sigh, waved to Xin Laoqi, whispered a few words, and then turned and left.

"All aboard, let's go back!"

Xiao Guwei didn't know what Fang Xing was going to do with Cao Qi, and he wasn't interested in knowing. For him, for the black thorn, death is an option in life. If he can, he won't be afraid.

Xin Laoqi took Cao Qi and soon disappeared into the jungle.

After walking for more than a mile in the jungle, Xin Laoqi suddenly shouted to stop. Cao Qishun knelt on the ground and led his neck to kill.

"Do you have an enemy here in xiaoryukyu?"

Cao Qi shook his head and said, "I have helped them..."

"Why help them?"

Cao Qi kept shaking his head and said, "although you are far away from your hometown, you can see that the people of Daming are always kind, so when you know that they have been blackmailed by scattered pirates, you go to help them... Later, you can change some food..."

Cao Qi couldn't help smiling when he thought of those days: "someone said a daughter-in-law to Xiao, but Xiao didn't dare to respond even if she died on the ship one day..."

"Those Japanese people can bear it. They are afraid of fire. They don't have enough hands, so they bear it. Today I wanted to kill them all, but who ever thought... Adults? Do it!"

"My lord?"

Cao Qi shouted a few times and didn't respond. He looked back and was stunned.

There was no one behind him, and there was a long sword with scabbard on the ground.

Cao Qi stared at the long knife, slowly turned around, and then kowtowed to the coming way, pious kowtow.

"Thank you, uncle. I will change my ways in the future..."

Cao Qi picked up the long knife and crept into the jungle.

At this time, the fleet has been loaded and anchored.

……

In early summer, the weather in Ningbo is just right, neither cold nor hot.

A man came to the back door of Mu's house.

The man bowed his head slightly and knocked on the door gently.

"Who?"

Inside came a voice of questioning, and the man whispered, "Li Er."

There is an eye in the crack of the back door, and then gently open the door.

When the doorkeeper saw Li Er go straight in, he said, "the master is teaching two young masters to read. Don't go in first."

Li Er didn't stop. The servant angrily said, "Li Er, be careful that the master will clean you up!"

Li Er stopped. When the servant was proud, Li Er turned back and stared at him and said indifferently, "I'm going to see my mother, don't you?"

The servant just wanted to say exactly, but under Li Er's cold gaze, he felt that his voice was blocked by someone, and he couldn't speak.

Li Er shook his head slightly and turned to go in.

As a famous farming and reading aristocratic family in Ningbo, Mu family is very big, but there are not many houses. It seems that it is scattered.

After passing a door, there is a lane between the backyard and the wall. This is where the porter and some servants stay.

Li Ermu went in without squinting. Several servant girls were not surprised to see him at the gate of the backyard, so they went all the way to a cabin at the right corner of the lane.

The hut was a brick house with no windows, and the door was still closed.

Li Er whispered, "Mom."

There was some noise in the room. After Li Er called his mother again, there was more rustle in the room.

When the door opened, the light poured in. An old woman in cloth looked out blankly and reached forward to feel.

Li Er grabbed the pale hand and put it on his face. He whispered admiringly, "Mom, the child is back."

The old woman touched his face and said in a dry voice, "second brother, you can come back. My mother was worried about you, so she asked the people in the house. They ignored my mother. My mother thought you were crazy, so she closed the door to chant Buddha and asked my son to come back safely..."

Hearing this, Li Er's heart was greatly mourned. A trace of murderous spirit flashed in his eyes, and then he helped the old woman in.

A servant girl secretly stared at the back for a long time. Seeing this, she quietly went to the front yard.

But Li Er suddenly turned around and looked at the back of the servant girl with a sneer.

"Second, sit down quickly. My mother will pour you water."

The old woman touched the table, got up, and then touched the mouthless teapot and teacup

Li Er hurriedly helped her sit down, then squatted in front of her and said, "Mom, my child will make money. Let's go out together and my child will marry a daughter-in-law to serve you."

The old woman smiled, but with a trace of desolation: "second, it's my mother who dragged you down."
