Yu Xiaotian took the confession of the Tian shopkeeper and the bartender from the torture hall, and breathed a long sigh of relief after reading it.

Under the torture and interrogation of the torture hall, these guys told the truth, Tian shopkeeper was not Chu Cailao's subordinate, he was indeed a businessman in Quanzhou, but this guy had dealt with Chu Cailao before, and he had a little friendship.

Since the sea wolf was inexplicably attacked by several ghost ships a few years ago, Chu Cailao went around to find out who was the main messenger behind the scenes, this Tian shopkeeper when he returned to Quanzhou to do goods, learned about it, and felt that this was an opportunity to make a fortune, and secretly colluded with Chu Cailao's subordinates.

When he heard that the ghost ship that Chu Cailao was looking for was quite similar to the new Feizi clipper made by Seawolf, he secretly informed Chu Cailao that he wanted to receive the reward.

After Chu Cai Lao learned that this incident should be done by the sea wolf, he gave the surname Tian a large amount of silver, and asked the surname Tian to act as his eyeliner on Nanri Island, and promised him a lot of silver.

As for the bartender of Juyouzhai, he was originally introduced to Juyouzhai by the surname Tian, and the surname Tian didn't have too many plans, just for his own business matters, let this bartender help him pay attention to some sea wolf things when he was working in the restaurant, and tell him at any time.

This bartender is also sincere, and when he heard anything, he ran to tell the surname Tian secretly, and later after Chu Cai bought the surname Tian, this bartender became the full-time eyes and ears of the surname Tian, helping him collect and inquire about various things about the sea wolf.

Chu Cailao also sent two subordinates to the surnamed Tian, who stayed in the Guanghe firm as a companion, as Chu Cailao's full-time spies, responsible for collecting information on the sea wolves here, and then passed the news to Chu Cailao through the carrier pigeons they brought.

Of course, the carrier pigeon was also sent by Chu Cailao to the surnamed Tian, during this period of time, the surnamed Tian and the two Chu Cailao's subordinates and the bartender did not miss the news of the sea wolf, while using the carrier pigeon to deliver the news to Chu Cailao, while sorting out the news records of the inquiry, preparing to send it back to Chu Cailao in the next two days, but they did not have time to send the detailed information out of the Lu Dynasty, so the incident occurred in the east window, and the sea wolf came to get all the stolen goods.

The guy who was killed on the spot in the Guanghe firm was a subordinate sent by Chu Cai, who tried to resist and escape when he saw that the situation was not good, but he overestimated his ability too much, and was killed by a sea wolf with a handcuff on the spot.

As for the other guys of the Guanghe firm, some of them were insiders, and some of them were not, and they were all screened out after interrogation.

And the shopkeeper of Juyouzhai Tavern was accidentally implicated, and he didn't know that this bartender of his was secretly doing things for the surnamed Tian, helping Chu Cailao collect all kinds of news about the sea wolf.

Now this matter has been thoroughly investigated, and the ship that left the island of the Hirowa firm that night was also intercepted, and no information was found on the surname Tian, but the ship was still detained by the sea wolf, including the business name and goods on the island, and all were confiscated.

But this incident also caused a lot of shock in the business area, when copying the Guanghe business that night, Meng Fei and their actions alarmed all the shops gathered in the business area, many people did not understand what was going on at the time, only knew that the sea wolf of the road was doing things, and the Guanghe business was suddenly surrounded, and the shopkeeper in the shop, including the guys, was all arrested, and killed people, and the Juyouzhai restaurant was also seized that night, and everyone was controlled.

So there were various rumors in the business area, some people said that Guanghe Firm and Juyouzhai were Chu Cailao's meticulous works, some people said that they offended the sea wolf, and some people even said that the sea wolf took a fancy to their business and wanted to swallow them.

In short, before the sea wolf did not announce the truth of the matter, there were people in the business inn area, and some businessmen felt that it was not as safe as before, in short, there was a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, and the recent turmoil between the sea wolf and Chu Cailao was stormy, so some people couldn't help but retreat, and began to quietly pack up their things, load some goods on the island, and transport them away from Nanri Island, temporarily stopping the business here, leaving only one or two guys to watch the store.

After Yu Xiaotian verified the matter of Guanghe Firm, he immediately asked people to post an announcement in the business inn area to announce the matter, and as a knock on the mountain, he ordered all the people involved to be shown to the public on the spot, and the rest of the people who knew about it were sent to Tamsui Village as slaves for five to ten years, as for those who did not know, they were acquitted, and they could go home if they wanted, but they had to stay on Nanri Island for the time being, waiting for the incident to pass.

Juyouzhai also cleared his name, fined him five hundred taels of silver, allowed him to reopen after paying the fine, and returned the seized things, but the one who ran the hall must have landed on the ground, which can be regarded as a warning to his shopkeeper and the bartender in the store.

In this way, the gossip in the business area was stopped, so that everyone understood why the sea wolf would treat Guanghe Firm like this, and the most taboo thing about them being pirates was to be buried in the nail and find out the news, no matter who caught this kind of person, he would not be spared, and Yu Xiaotian would never be magnanimous to this kind of thing, only cutting off their heads, in fact, it was already cheap for them.

Other pirates would often take more brutal measures against them if they caught such spies, such as skinning cramps, delays, and lighting sky lanterns.

As a result, the people who had nothing to do in the business inn area were relieved and no longer panicked as they were at the beginning.

However, the matter of the sea wolf offending Chu Cailao has also completely lifted the lid of the pot, and all the businessmen have realized that after the sea wolf offended Chu Cailao, this place will no longer be as safe as before.

Although they didn't say it openly, but secretly they all began to make their own plans, after the Guanghe business incident, the special wharf in the business inn area obviously began to become cold, even if some ships came, most of them were empty, no longer to the island to unload goods, but began to load the inventory in their shop and transport it away from Nanri Island one by one.

Seeing this situation, the director hall was worried, although the cargo throughput of the business area is not too large, but after all, it was not easy for Yu Xiaotian to attract so many businessmen, and the Nanri Island business area has reached the current level, and they also make a lot of profits every year.

Now the merchants have begun to evacuate and close their shops and stop trading here, which will have some impact on their income, so the council hall means to prevent them from leaving, but Yu Xiaotian shook his head and vetoed their opinions.

Yu Xiaotian's opinion is very clear, businessmen are businessmen, what they seek is profit and peace, if Nanri Island is under threat, it is obviously impossible to expect them to advance and retreat together with the sea wolf, what they have to do now is to eliminate the threat of Chu Cailao as soon as possible, at least let Chu Cailao know that he is not easy to mess with sea wolves, and dare not make trouble again, these businessmen will naturally come back.

After the beginning of March, the entire bustling island of Nanri gradually began to become deserted, and the people of the island's migrant villages and fishing villages also felt the change and began to become a little uneasy.

Now everyone knows that the sea wolf and Chu Cailao are on the same page, Chu Cailao's fame is big enough, and the people living in the coastal area are all known to everyone, Chu Cailao has attacked the coastal area of Fuzhou before, and the Shark Gang didn't even dare to let go of a fart, let them come and go freely, and the people were not less harmed by him.

Now although these residents of Nanri Island are united with the sea wolf, they have no bottom in their hearts, I don't know if the sea wolf is Chu Cai's opponent, if Chu Cai's boss makes a move, once the sea wolf is defeated, then they will become victims of this dispute.

But these common people are different from the merchants, they now have to rely on the sea wolf and this Nanri Island to survive, their homes are already here, their fields have food grown, and they also have to fish in this area, so they can't pack up and leave like the merchants.

Now, Yu Xiaotian no longer covered the lid, and simply sent people directly to the villages, told them about Chu Cailao, and sent two or three soldiers to each village, gathered the young people in the village, organized them, and began the simplest military training.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian ordered that some unused knives, guns, bows and arrows stored in the treasury were ordered to be distributed to the villages, and equipped to the young and strong in these villages, and Yu Xiaotian temporarily called these organized villagers Xiangyong, through a short period of intensive training, first made these villagers have a certain self-defense ability, and at the same time made them initially learn some organization, once something happens, although these villagers may not be able to resist the pirates who landed on the island, But at least it can be done to protect the old and weak women and children in the village and flee to the big village of the sea wolf for refuge.

After several expansions, the area of the sea wolf's Dazhai has expanded several times more than when Zhang Hu was here, and once necessary, the islanders can basically be temporarily moved into the Dazhai to provide shelter for a period of time.

But if the villagers have not received a certain degree of training, once the chaos breaks out, no one organizes them, it is difficult for them to quickly escape to the village to hide, so he arranged for his subordinates to go to the villages and organize the villagers to train, just to avoid once Chu Cai is old, when he can't fight the village, he will be angry on these islanders, so that the islanders will suffer heavy losses.

You must know that in order to prosper Nanri Island, he tried his best to get immigrants from all over the world to come to the island, but he spent a lot of effort and money.

So although he was ready to face Chu Cailao on Nanri Island, he didn't dare to ignore the islanders, he didn't want the islanders to feel that when the disaster came, he was a sea wolf who only cared about himself and ignored them.

Although this exacerbated the tension of the islanders on the island, but also made the islanders feel the goodwill of the sea wolves, and the importance of them, these islanders basically rely on the sea wolves to survive, at this time can not help but have a feeling of hatred and hatred, many people scolded Chu Cai Lao without doing anything, cursed Chu Cai Lao This guy quickly died and pulled down, and the life of the province is a scourge.

After the beginning of March, the whole Nanri Island began to become completely tense, and the soldiers began to march into the Dazhai and Shangzhan areas in groups, and the patrol personnel also strengthened their patrols around the island, and the batteries began to replenish ammunition reserves, including the new battalion The recruits who were being trained also changed their weapons and began to be temporarily assigned to the soldiers to lead, ready to meet Chu Cai's old attack.

Once again, I would like to thank the three old brothers Hu Lulu, Eagle Zhiwu, and STDX for their tips!
