Chapter 272: Salvage for nothing
"Thank you, thank you so much." The rescued villagers thanked Chu Lingyi and Mu Li vigorously, and Mu Li was embarrassed.
"Okay, let's stop talking about it, let's get on the boat first."
The villagers, who had not eaten enough for several days, were very pitiful with yellow faces and thin muscles. Especially the children, when they are growing up, their hungry eye sockets are a lot deeper, which is really pitiful.
Everyone has already been caught, but in the cave, Chu Lingyi has been looking for a long time and has not found those boxes of jade, so it can't be that they have disappeared.
"Say, where did you hide the jade?" Xue Ping whipped and used all the punishments, but they just kept their doors shut and didn't speak.
They were going to buy that batch of jadeite elsewhere, and then buy arms for it, and they wouldn't say it so easily.
In this regard, Chu Lingyi was very troubled, if he couldn't find this batch of jadeite, then Nanchen Kingdom would suffer a lot of losses. "Keep calling me until you tell me where you are."
Their treatment of the people like this has made Chu Lingyi unbearable, and now they don't say a word about the whereabouts of the jade, which makes Chu Lingyi's atmosphere extreme.
Mu Li pulled Chu Lingyi aside, "The one-eyed man has woken up." ”
Chu Lingyi asked Xue Ping to continue asking, while he went to see the one-eyed man. As soon as the one-eyed man saw Chu Lingyi, he hurriedly closed his eyes in fright, pretending that he was still in a coma.
"Okay, don't pretend, since you've woken up, let's cooperate obediently, don't suffer from flesh and skin when the time comes." Chu Lingyi saw that the one-eyed man was pretending, and he said that he couldn't speak, this kind of routine Chu Lingyi didn't know how many times he had seen it.
The one-eyed man didn't expect to be recognized so quickly, "Lord Wang, I really don't know anything, don't embarrass me, you see I'm already like this." The one-eyed man didn't know about the arrest of the Fuso people, and he was afraid that if he told everything he knew, the Fuso people would definitely take his life.
"Come, throw him out to me, this king will never leave a useless person." Chu Lingyi wanted to see how long the one-eyed man would last.
"Don't, lord, I said I'll say." It's hard for one-eyed people to understand that there is only Chu Lingyi to rely on at the moment, and if he is thrown out, he will definitely die.
The one-eyed man was a greedy man, he only informed Chu Lingyi of the Fusang people and the place where the villagers were being held, and kept silent about the jade.
"All said and done?"
"Well, that's all I know, I've said everything I know, and I promise it's all true."
Chu Lingyi naturally knew whether the one-eyed man was telling the truth or a lie, but there was one more thing he had never mentioned. "Yes, but as far as this king knows, you also know the whereabouts of the jadeite."
The one-eyed man chuckled in his heart, how could he know.
"No, I really don't know." When the one-eyed man said this, his whole body was trembling, but his greed had already made Chu Lingyi see through it.
Chu Lingyi's backhand was a slap, "Keep making it up, don't you know that besides you, there are other people who have also been arrested by this king?" ”
People like one-eyed men just don't cry when they don't see the coffin.
"What?" The one-eyed man was stunned, such a hidden place was actually found by Chu Lingyi, who was worthy of being the prince of the dynasty, both civil and military, and had to admire his superb ability. At this point, the one-eyed man has nothing to deceive. "The jadeite was at the entrance of the cave near the sea, and it was deliberately sunk at that time, so that it could be transported away in the future."
"Hmph, I dare to steal things from Nanchen Kingdom, I really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall." Chu Lingyi immediately ordered to go to the place where the one-eyed man said to salvage the jade.
After a while, the person sent came back, Mu Li thought that the jade had been salvaged, but he knew that he went to pounce, and there was no jade that the one-eyed man said.
"What, no? Absolutely impossible, I saw them sink with my own eyes, how could it not be! "This time the one-eyed man really didn't lie, and he couldn't believe that the jade had disappeared like this." No, have you been looking for it? ”
"What, do we still need you to do things?" Liuyun is very unaccustomed to the virtue of the one-eyed man.
Mu Li stopped Liuyun, "Okay, I don't think he is lying." Since the jadeite is gone, it may be that after he left, the gang deliberately changed the jadeite. ”
Chu Lingyi felt that what Mu Li said was right, but this was the coast, and it was probably a little difficult to find such a big place.
"Let's go, we'll meet those guys again."
Chu Lingyi and Mu Li came to Fusang's head, and looked at him with a proud appearance, which even made Mu Li angry. "Say, where the jade is hidden, you must know whether you say it or not, I have a way to know."
The Fusang man spat at Mu Li, and then turned his head and didn't speak. This made Chu Lingyi angry, and he raised his hand and wanted to slap him, but was stopped by Mu Li.
Chu Lingyi didn't know what Mu Li's move meant, but he believed Mu Li. I saw Mu Li move a chair and sit in front of the leader, and said unhurriedly: "Do you have a wife and children?" Do you miss them? ”
Mu Li knew that these people who had left their hometowns missed their hometown very much, and they had been doing wrong things for the so-called beliefs, but they still took it for granted.
The leader didn't speak, but there were tears in his eyes, which surprised Chu Lingyi. A seven-foot man would be moved when he heard Mu Li's words, but how could they have a conscience about their attitude towards the villagers.
In fact, everyone who is far away from their homeland is homesick, but the responsibility on their shoulders cannot be forgotten. They stole this batch of jadeite in order to fill their own treasury and prepare for the preparation of arms, as long as the time comes, they will attack Nanchen Kingdom.
But all this has been non-existent since this moment, and Chu Lingyi will not let them easily transport the jadeite away.
Mu Li continued: "Since you want to, then go back to them. But they want a husband, not a heinous man, and I don't think your child wants his father to be the one who started the war. ”
Mu Li knew the cruelty of war, she didn't want to experience it, she didn't want to see it. If the Fusang people really grow stronger and attack the Nanchen Kingdom, then the people of the Nanchen Kingdom will really suffer.
The leader still didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he wanted to say but didn't say it.
"I think as a father, you should try to maintain your child's innocence, including his kindness. If he's a heinous person, I don't think he needs it. Mu Li knows that every bad person was a good person, and they also had their own hardships.
"Don't say it, I won't tell you, you're going to die of this heart." The head of Fuso had a very hard mouth and refused to reveal anything.
