The guards on either side responded and rushed forward to cut his ropes. Then he pressed the man to the ground, ignoring the man's pig-like howl, and simply cut off a little finger of his left hand! The man screamed after his finger was cut off, and he jumped on the ground in pain! But the two guards were both tall and powerful men, and he was firmly held down and couldn't move!

Liu Jiang shouted beside him: "To say or not to say? Cut another finger without saying anything! The fingers are gone and the toes are gone, and they are cut until you say it! ”

The man was crying so hard that his nose and tears were slugging! Hearing Liu Jiang say this, he shouted repeatedly: "I said! I say! ”

Liu Jiang picked up a towel from the table and threw it over, and said, "Tie a wound for him first, so as not to make the ground full of blood and difficult to clean up." ”

After the guards helped him tie up his wounds indiscriminately, Liu Jiang began to question. Liu Jiang asked sharply, "Which pirate sent you here as an eyeliner?" Say it! ”

The man was frightened and said, "The villain doesn't know either! The man gave me twenty taels of silver, and told the villain to go around the wharf to see which ships were loading and ready to set sail, and then write some of the days on strips of cloth, and then tie them to the legs of the flying slaves and let them go. ”

At this time, Liu Pei also reacted that this pigeon was really not something that pirates and ordinary farmers could make up. So he slowed down and asked, "Then do you know words?" ”

The man said, "The villain has been a farmer for generations, where can he read and write?" ”

Liu Jiang then asked, "Then how do you communicate with them?" It's not a painting, is it? ”

The man said, "It's just painting!" He taught me to draw circles on strips of cloth. A circle represents a day, and a half circle represents a half-day. If there is gold or silver on the ship, add a point to the circle! ”

Liu Jiang's voice suddenly turned stern, and he asked loudly, "Who made you do this?" ”

The man was startled by Liu Jiang's sudden change in voice, and said quickly, "I don't recognize that person either." He's certainly not a pirate, though. I look at the green coat and hat he wears, but it looks like he was born as a servant of a big family! ”

Liu Jiang has been in charge of the Intelligence Bureau for several years, and he is already well versed in talking to such people

Law. To deal with this kind of ignorant stupidity, as long as one is soft and one is hard, repeated inquiries can easily achieve the goal. So Liu Jiang lowered his voice and asked slowly: "How did those flying slaves come from, they won't fly away and fly back, right?" ”

Seeing that Liu Jiang slowed down his tone, the man felt a little relieved, and said in a low voice: "Those flying slaves were sent by him to the villain. The villain doesn't raise these things, he just gives some rice grains and water indiscriminately. He brought me five at a time, and he would send them again when he was done. ”

As soon as Liu Pei and Liu Jiang touched each other's eyes, they both understood each other's thoughts. Liu Pei can already connect the front and back of things at this time. It must be those big families who have been running the sea all the year round are unwilling to pay them silver taels, so they deliberately contact pirates to spoil their own situation.

They first plundered ships in the waterways, ruined their reputation, and made many maritime merchants no longer trust them. Later, he carried out a series of conspiracy activities such as sowing discord, dividing and disintegrating, and let his pirates centrifuge. You know, you can gather a lot of money to join the pirates.

In their opinion, when these pirates turn against the water, it will probably be their end. But what these gentry don't know is that Liu Pei has done things very well. Through coercion and inducement, and promises of a future life, he completely divided and disintegrated the pirates and incorporated them into their subordinates. There is no point in them using this method any longer.

Because those pirate leaders are no longer part of a group. Or maybe they're completely out of the way. Their pirates have truly integrated into Liu Pei's army. These are things that the gentry do not understand.

The gentry and gentry fed up these pirates, but they never treated them as human beings. For these gentry, these pirates were just a tool for them. If the tool doesn't fit well, or if it's damaged, just throw it away.

Liu Pei is different. He believes that every human being is a simple person. The whole society is made up by each individual. He worked hard to give a bright future to the people under his rule. So he gave the pirates one of the most precious things, and that was the household register.

With a household registration, they just ceased to be pirates. but good citizens who are protected by the law. They and their children and grandchildren can land, go farming, go sightseeing, go to school, go to business. will live like a real person. And these are precisely the ones that the big ones refuse to give, or are too lazy to give.

In the next time, Liu Pei left, leaving Liu Jiang to interrogate repeatedly. Liu Jiang's questions became more and more detailed, and he even asked how he fed each other.

In fact, who was involved in this matter, both of them had a rough estimate in their hearts. Because at this time, there were not many sea ships on Penghu Island. The man who brought the pigeon to the man must have come by sea. So if you know what day he received the pigeons, and check the records on the docks, you will know whose ship the pigeon was sent from. As soon as this person is found, the person behind him will naturally emerge.

When Liu Pei was drinking tea in the back, Liu Jiang walked in with a stack of files. Liu Pei stretched out his hand and pushed forward a cup of tea that had been poured earlier, motioned for Liu Jiang to drink, and then said, "Have you asked for it?" ”

Liu Jiang handed the file to Liu Pei with both hands. Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "Take a sip of tea first and speak slowly." ”

After interrogating that person for so long, Liu Jiang was indeed a little thirsty. He picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp and said, "Dashuai, this person actually doesn't know much. He's just a bought eyeliner. It is only responsible for finding out the news of sea vessels. However, there may be one or several big families behind him. I suspect they're here for the big guy! ”

Liu Pei nodded and said, "I already thought of this just now. They were probably very unhappy with the 3000 silver charge I charged per ship! It's no wonder that these people don't even dare to pay the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, how can they be willing to pay me money! ”

Liu Jiang nodded and said, "Dashuai, I think so too." Now we can definitely follow the clues of the sea ship to find out all these people. It's just that what is the big boss going to do with them? ”

Liu Pei sneered and said, "What else can I do?" One word, kill! These people are real coffins and don't cry! I don't believe their necks are harder than my sword! ”
