Chapter 227: Set an example
p1()
At this time, Zhou Chengfeng's face was already pale, and this time it seemed that it was extremely safe to hand over the goods, but he didn't expect it to be a trap, but he couldn't figure out who was going to harm him.
The captain saw that Zhou Chengfeng didn't speak, so he didn't dare to speak, and the crew was worried that if they didn't stop the boat, they were afraid that the other party would really destroy the boat, and everyone would have to follow the funeral.
The crew took advantage of Zhou Chengfeng and the captain's lack of attention, exchanged glances with each other, and they had already made a decision in each other's hearts.
Suddenly, a crew member who was close to Zhou Chengfeng suddenly rushed towards Zhou Chengfeng, Zhou Chengfeng was absent-minded at this time, and was thrown to the ground by the crew without any reaction at all.
Another crew member was quick-eyed, rushed up and kicked the gun in Zhou Chengfeng's hand away, and then bent down and held Zhou Chengfeng down.
Zhou Chengfeng was furious and scolded loudly: "What are you going to do!" It's against you! ”
The captain was also taken aback by the sudden change, and at this time several other crew members rushed up, hugged the captain, and persuaded him: "The captain should surrender!" Don't drag everyone to death together! ”
The captain said angrily: "Are you going to rebel? It's an act of betrayal......"
An older man in the crew said: "Forget it, captain, if you surrender, you can still live, why bother everyone to die together?" It's not worth it for a batch of goods......"
Zhou Chengfeng was pressed to the ground and scolded himself: "You wait, I must clean you all up when I go back!" ”
The crew didn't care whether Zhou Chengfeng scolded or not, tied Zhou Chengfeng and the captain with all hands and feet, and then said through the public channel: "We surrender, the captain has been caught by us, please don't ...... fire"
Liu Yi and the others received each other's calls on the bridge, and they looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
At this time, the cargo ship also passed the news, and the two armed ships had been attacked by mechas, one ship chose to surrender, and the other ship resisted stubbornly and was finally destroyed.
Now that the cargo ship and an armed ship have been controlled, they are rushing over to rendezvous, and the ship of Zhou Chengfeng and others has also slowed down, waiting for the battleship to come over and accept the surrender.
This ambush of the fortress garrison won a complete victory, not only did not lose a single person, but also captured Zhou Chengfeng alive, and gained three additional boats, which can be described as the greatest victory of the fortress in recent decades.
The battleship of Liu Yi and others was finally connected with Zhou Chengfeng's ship, and the soldiers on the battleship rushed up and rushed into Zhou Chengfeng and the others' ship like a tiger.
Soon the soldiers controlled the whole ship, and then escorted the captain and Zhou Chengfeng back to the battleship.
Liu Yi and the officers were already waiting at the hatch, and when they saw the soldiers escorting two people over, their eyes widened, wanting to take a good look at what the person who planned the attack on the patrol ship looked like.
When the two were escorted to Liu Yi, Liu Yi recognized who Zhou Chengfeng was at a glance. Shangguan Qi once described Zhou Chengfeng's appearance to him, coupled with Zhou Chengfeng's cold temperament, so that Liu Yi could easily distinguish who was Zhou Chengfeng and who was the captain.
Liu Yi came to Zhou Chengfeng and looked at this person carefully, and Zhou Chengfeng also looked at Liu Yi with cold eyes.
"You are Zhou Chengfeng?" Liu Yi asked.
Zhou Chengfeng raised his head, snorted coldly in his nose, and did not answer Liu Yi's question.
Liu Yi was not angry, and said with a smile: "You don't answer my question, I have a way to make you speak, I'll introduce you to someone first, see if you know each other?" ”
After saying that, Liu Yi beckoned, and Shangguan Qi walked over from the crowd and came to Zhou Chengfeng.
Zhou Chengfeng looked up, his face was full of surprise and surprise, his mouth was wide and round, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"President Zhou, do you still know me?" Shangguanqi said with a smile.
Zhou Chengfeng sank his face and said viciously: "I didn't expect you to be the emperor's undercover agent!" You shameless villain! ”
"You're wrong, I'm not the emperor, I'm just doing me a favor, how about it? It's not a good feeling to be deceived, right? Shangguanqi sneered.
Shangguan Qi knows Zhou Chengfeng better than everyone else, this is a very conceited person, he has always thought that he is the smartest one, and everyone else is his pawn. Therefore, Shangguanqi deliberately stimulated him with words, as long as he broke this person's self-esteem, he was not afraid that he would not tell the truth.
Sure enough, Shangguan Qi's few words immediately made Zhou Chengfeng furious, as if he was crazy, and all kinds of vulgar and unbearable language suddenly blurted out, completely lacking his usual appearance.
When Zhou Chengfeng was tired of scolding, Liu Yi said: "I will give you two choices now, first, you will honestly explain all the things about attacking the patrol ship of the fortress, and I guarantee that you will receive a fair judicial trial." Second, if you refuse to tell the truth, I will use all means to make you speak, and then hang your corpse outside the fortress, so that all the passing ships can take a look, this is the end of the White Rock Fortress, you should think about it. ”
Zhou Chengfeng stared at Liu Yi with a resentful and vicious gaze, but Liu Yi ignored him and waved his hand to let the soldiers escort him away.
Then Liu Yi came to the captain and said loudly: "You are not the murderer who attacked the fortress, I will not embarrass you, as long as the matter is investigated, you can go home, I can assure you of this!" ”
After speaking, Liu Yi didn't wait for the captain to speak, and waved his hand to let the soldiers escort him away. The other captured crew members also took the same approach, keeping them in custody for the time being and then letting them go back when the matter was settled.
After Liu Yi finished disposing of it, Ye Na whispered to Liu Yi: "Sir, will you really let these people go back?" ”
Liu Yiqi said: "Of course, why do you ask that?" ”
Ye Na hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth: "Once the previous commanders caught these foreign smugglers, they would all be shot to death regardless of size, so as to achieve the effect of deterrence. Sir, you let them go, aren't you afraid that they will retaliate in the future? ”
"If I don't kill them, why should they take revenge on me?" Liu Yi asked puzzled.
"That's not the case, the hatred between the empire and the overseas colonies has long been difficult to resolve, even if you let these people go, they will not thank you, maybe they will take revenge in the future, and this is undoubtedly a way to let the tiger go home." Ye Na said.
"You're in favor of killing them all, too? Or does everyone think it should be done? Liu Yi asked.
Ye Na replied, "I personally do not like this kind of indiscriminate killing, but it is not for nothing that the previous commanders did this, and the soldiers and officers also think that this is revenge, so I hope that the commander will consider this matter carefully." ”
Liu Yi heard the sincerity in Ye Na's tone, Ye Na said these words not to go against herself, but to think about herself sincerely, and she was very happy for Liu Yi.
"I see, I'll think about it carefully." Liu Yi said solemnly.
After Liu Yi and the others returned to the White Rock Fortress, the fortress was suddenly full of jubilation, and everyone was sincerely happy for this victory, and at the same time, they were also happy for their dead colleagues.
The news of Zhou Chengfeng's arrest spread quickly, especially when the news reached Bai Wen, the whole Bai Wen was very shocked.
You must know that Zhou Chengfeng is also a heavyweight in Baiwen, and he rarely appears in public, who would have thought that he would be caught by the White Stone Fortress, this incident immediately caused various speculations.
For a while, all kinds of rumors were rampant, and all kinds of strange speculations continued to flow out, and unconsciously described the White Rock Fortress as a place like a ghost gate.
In particular, Bai Wen's smugglers, large and small, now shook their heads at the mention of the White Rock Fortress, and said that they would rather take a long detour than never pass through the White Rock Fortress again.
After some careful thinking, Liu Yi still decided to let go of those who had nothing to do with the matter, and only handed over Zhou Chengfeng and Liang Song to the higher authorities, and sent the two to the court for trial.
Although Liu Yi also considered whether to learn from the practices of his predecessors and shoot all these crew members to make an example, in the end Liu Yi gave up this idea.
Liu Yi specially explained his thoughts to the officers, the reason why he used various methods to investigate the culprit in the first place was to no longer use simple and crude methods to take revenge on the overseas colonies, and if he casually shot these crew members now, it would be tantamount to going against the original intention.
Liu Yi said to everyone: "Although I don't expect them to be grateful to me, I hope that at least the flames of revenge will not spread meaninglessly, as for how many people can understand my heart, it depends on luck." In short, as long as we do it properly, even if they come to retaliate, we don't have to feel empty-hearted, and we just need to fight them with dignity. ”
Liu Yi doesn't know how many people can understand this statement, but since he has made a decision, he will not change it, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to be the same as he thinks, as long as he can be worthy of his heart.
Of course, Liu Yi also knew that it was not enough to rely on rhetoric to gain everyone's support, and giving the soldiers the rewards they deserved was also a positive means.
After Zhou Chengfeng and Liang Song were sent to the higher departments, Liu Yi first wrote an application to the higher departments, hoping to award honors to the soldiers and officers of the fortress.
At the same time, Liu Yi also asked Ye Na to formulate a reward system, to give everyone in the fortress some cash as a reward for their hard work.
In fact, Liu Yi doesn't have to pay for this bonus himself, since he cracked the accounts of Liang Song and Zhou Chengfeng, Liu Yi has received a huge amount of money, and the money to reward the soldiers comes from here, and Liu Yi himself does not have to spend a cent.
Liu Yi didn't even tell Ye Na about this huge amount of money, the only person who knew was Shangguan Qi, Liu Yi didn't want to swallow the money privately, but was worried that once the money was transferred to the fortress account, it was likely to be taken by the higher authorities, and the fortress itself would not be able to make much.
Therefore, Liu Yi decided to use this money as the secret fund of the fortress and keep it for future use when he secretly developed the fortress.
