Zhao Lao Wu was in a very happy mood, and he didn't feel depressed at all when he was woken up. Because Li Qi and Wang Ergou, who had made him uncomfortable for 5 days, were finally caught, and they really hid the gold privately! But what made him a little puzzled was why Lord Liu and Lord Xiao Liu didn't pursue those in their group who had assisted the two.

Holding a torch in one hand and washed gold in the other, Ao Bai loudly announced that the two had hidden the gold.

The people looked at Liu Yifeng, who was standing behind Ao Bai and holding Siha, and they all felt that it was even colder this night. They remember a month ago very well, and it looks like it's going to happen again tonight, but will God help you this time?

There are also two protagonists who are also thinking about this problem, but they don't dare to bet their lives on it, Wang Ergou directly coaxed it, crying and saying that it was Li Qi's idea, while kneeling and holding Aobai's trouser legs.

And Li Qi scolded loudly, scolded Ao and worshiped dog slaves, scolded other Jurchens and Goryeo people as slaves, and dared to kill Han people, and finally scolded Liu Yifeng for abusing lynching, and sooner or later he was caught by the Maritime Safety Bureau. even shouted loudly at the people, saying that Liu Yifeng would definitely stop saying in the end.

I have to say that the effect is still good.

Originally, the people were reminded of the extremely shocking memories of a month ago, and they would see that they were going to experience it again, and a kind of feeling of the death of a rabbit and a fox and a sad thing suddenly enveloped the audience. Coupled with Li Qi's hoarse shouting that Liu Yifeng was going to kill him, their hearts began to be impetuous.

Li Qi is quite good at playing with people's hearts.

This is Liu Yifeng's evaluation of him, and he guesses that this kid is a liar if he doesn't do well in his hometown.

He guessed correctly, Li Qi was indeed caught by the government for fraud in his hometown and sent to be a man, and one of the three most important skills of a liar is to capture people's hearts.

They also saw that they couldn't continue to let Li Qi incite the people, but Liu Yifeng stopped them and didn't let them stop Li Qi.

Liu Yifeng put down Siha, walked up to Li Qi, who was panting loudly, leaned over with a smile and said, "Who told you that I was abusing lynching?" ”

One sentence made the already very impetuous atmosphere stabilize in an instant, people, look at me, I look at you, and find that the other party is actually the same as himself, and he actually believes Liu Yifeng's words a little. And the expression on Li Qi's face went from stunned to desperate too quickly, and the smug smile on the corner of his mouth hadn't had time to disappear, and his whole face looked extremely distorted.

Ao Bai and the other Liu Yifeng's early team were all proud and worshipful, and they felt that only Liu Yifeng could stabilize the situation that made them extremely anxious and at a loss with a single sentence.

Liu Yifeng smiled, and gently patted Li Qi's face like the underworld boss of the Hong Kong film he watched when he was a child, and his voice rose sharply as he got up and said again: "Who told you that I abused lynching, is it possible that I have authorization from the Maritime Safety Bureau?" ”

The people who looked at Liu Yifeng subconsciously lowered their heads, and more and more people believed in his words.

Li Qi had already come back to his senses and shouted loudly: "Impossible, you are talking nonsense!" You're not abusing lynching what you are, you're digging for gold! The Maritime Bureau will not let you go, and you will definitely kill us in the end, because we know that you are digging gold mines! ”

Liu Yifeng snapped his fingers with his right hand, pointed at Li Qi and said loudly: "Well said! ”

Then he motioned to Ao Bai to stop Siha, who saw that Li Qi was not good for his master, and roared to rush over, and continued: "You are very right, if I am digging gold mines privately, none of you will survive, and you will definitely be destroyed by me." Because according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who open mines without permission will punish the nine clans! ”

In ancient times, no matter when it came out of someone's mouth, the three words of "Zhujiu Clan" were loud and sound, and Li Qi was also shocked by these three words when he wanted to say something more.

"I don't want to be punished by the Nine Clans, so I won't dig gold mines privately. Where do you think I'm going in the month I've been gone? Have you seen the newly built Yamen of the Maritime Safety Bureau in the eastern part of Jinshan Bay? That's big and spectacular. ”

Li Qi's eyes widened in shock, and he muttered, "You... You're not really going to join the Maritime Bureau, are you? ”

He thought that the people who came to Jinshan City to dig gold would definitely not hand it over as long as they really dug up the gold mines. After handing it over, the reward given by the Maritime Safety Bureau can only be a shopkeeper, but if you dig it up privately, the owner of a chamber of commerce is the lowest.

At least he will regain his freedom next year and will definitely not hand it over after digging the gold mine. He firmly believes that Liu Yifeng will kill his mouth because he and Liu Yifeng exchange positions, and they will definitely kill him.

"I'm a law-abiding citizen."

Without giving Li Qi time to think about what "citizen" meant, Liu Yifeng turned to the people in the audience and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, when I hired you, I did mine by myself privately, but now I have joined the Maritime Safety Bureau, and you are indirectly employed by the Maritime Safety Bureau. The gold dug up by the Maritime Safety Bureau belongs to the imperial court, it belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and stealing the things of the imperial court should be beheaded! I'll send them to the Maritime Bureau in a while, and I hope I'll be the only one I'll send by then. ”

Wang Ergou cried and fainted, Li Qi's face turned pale, and the people who helped the two of them in the audience lowered their heads with great weakness and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Seeing that everything went smoothly in the plan, Liu Yifeng secretly rejoiced that this time was much smoother than last month's.

After convicting Li Qi and Wang Ergou, Liu Yifeng threw the situation back to Ao Bai and returned to his room.

"I've met the big boss, and it seems that everything is going well."

He was greeted by a short man, he was Song Xiance, who had already taken refuge in Liu Yifeng.

"Advice, how did you know that these two would never bring back the gold?"

Song Xiance was no longer as cautious as when he was first captured, he smiled generously, and then said with a little smugness: "Big leader, that Li Qi is a smart person, he has lived here for so long, he will naturally find that walking out of the camp is very abnormal, and it is as easy as if he was deliberately let out." Then surely he will not come back with the gold, but hide it deeper and better in a better place for future returns. ”

Liu Yifeng nodded, this time he did think less than Song Xiance. However, he will not have any thoughts about Song Xiance because of this, he is not a person with a small belly, but he thinks that it is a good thing that Song Xiance is capable.

Song Xiance has also followed Liu Yifeng for more than 3 months, and he has seen through that Liu Yifeng is a tolerant person, as long as you show loyalty and ability, he will give you a stage for you to perform. That's why he slowly changed his cautious low-key to a generous display.

However, he still admired Liu Yifeng very much: "Big boss, have you really figured it out, and you want to hand over the gold mine and gold panning methods to the Maritime Safety Bureau?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Yifeng nodded.

Song Xiance may be stronger than Liu Yifeng in terms of strategy, but the pattern is much smaller. He is also a little family, and Li Qi has the same concept, thinking that anyway, now that the Maritime Safety Bureau has not found them, he will continue to dig secretly, and if he wants to hand them over, he will wait until he is caught by the Maritime Safety Bureau.

"Big Boss, we were discovered by the Maritime Administration?"

"Nope."

"Then why do you want to turn it in?"

"Because now is the best time to go."

Liu Yifeng had his plans, he never thought of digging for gold in North America all the time, and the gold mines in North America were just a stepping stone for him to obtain the privilege of building a city. At first, his idea was to dig up enough gold and rely on the amount of gold to impress the Maritime Administration, but this time when he returned to Jinshan City, he got an update that made him make the decision to hand over the gold mine and the way to pan for gold.

In fact, he has been panning for gold for 3 months, and the pressure has been very high.

The first time I felt the pressure was when I went back to Jinshan City to trade gold from Dongshan Qianzhuang, and the second time I felt the pressure was when I managed this group of newly hired people and discovered that six people were secretly hiding gold a month ago.

That time was the most shaken time for Liu Yifeng to cross over so far. At that time, the situation was that he had to punish those 6 people severely, otherwise everyone would think that he was a soft egg, and in the future, not only would there be more and more people who hid gold privately, but it would also be more and more difficult for him to manage the team.

Feng Shuo advocated killing at that time, Song Xiance agreed, Li Hongji advocated heavy punishment, Zheng Zhilong abstained from the vote, but everyone knew that he was on Li Hongji's side in his heart. And Ao Bai and Kim Seungyou have no right to vote, which was requested by Song Xiance, and the original intention was to protect them. Because these 6 people are all Han Chinese, and there are two people Liu Yifeng hired them, they have been serving for 3 years, that is, the free Ming people. When it comes to the Han people, it is indeed some kind of protection to let Ao Bai and Kim Seungyou, who are Jurchens and Goryeo, not participate.

The final result was 2 votes to kill, 1 vote to impose a heavy penalty, 2 abstentions, and Liu Yifeng also abstained.

He has traveled so far, and he really hasn't killed anyone, although he has moved to kill several times, and he can be regarded as indirectly killing some of Sun Li's subordinates, but he really hasn't killed anyone with his own hands. This can be regarded as a disgrace to the majority of the seniors of the traversers, after all, the first thing they do after many crossings is to kill people.

Liu Yifeng psychologically, he has not passed the level of murder. He is not a cold-blooded decisive protagonist, he is relatively calm and rational, and he accepts the current situation quickly, but it does not mean that he can easily abandon the moral education that has passed through the previous 20 years.

Abstaining from voting is a manifestation of his mental journey:

I don't want to kill people, but my reason tells me that I must kill chickens and monkeys at this time, just a heavy punishment can't scare this group of people who are not good men and women before coming to Dongshan Prefecture, they must see blood!

The insistence that he didn't want to kill made him not vote to kill, but reason also made him not vote for the heavy penalty, and finally abstained from voting, which was the result of his battle between heaven and man. Liu Yifeng himself knew that he was a bit hypocritical and a virgin, but at least he couldn't pass his own level at that time. But he's pretty sure he won't be so entangled next time.

And Song Xiance really became Liu Yifeng's trusted person and successfully joined the team, and Feng Shuo, Li Hongji and Zheng Zhilong were at the same level, which was at this time.

With insight into people's hearts, he saw through the entanglement in Liu Yifeng's heart, so he found Liu Yifeng privately and proposed a plan.
