"I don't know what the military advisor is talking about, I haven't seen this thing, let alone Peng San......"

Peng San or Xie San?

"Alas...... Okay. ”

Song Che was not embarrassed, but pointed to the tent door:

"If you really don't want to say it, I don't force it, you can leave the barracks with your mother, but don't blame me for not reminding you, Wang Qi's family of five, Kong Si's family of seven, and even the children have not been spared. For 'them', only the dead will keep the secret forever. ”

Xie San looked at the tent door, he couldn't take a step, he sighed, longing for Song Che: "Can the military advisor keep me and my mother safe?" ”

Song Che said: "If the military camp can't save your lives, what should you do when you go outside?" ”

Xie Sanchang sighed, "I am indeed Peng San......"

Originally:

Peng San, along with Wang Qi and Kong Si, as well as a few fellow Taizhou villagers, dug for gold on an island called 'Shedao' thirty miles off the coast of Tongzhou.

Later, when the pirates occupied Shedao, Peng San and others also changed from bosses to hard laborers, digging gold mines for pirates day and night.

It was not until the beginning of November that the Japanese suddenly gathered a large number of troops to conquer Yancheng, and the guards on Shedao were reduced, and the three of them took the opportunity to escape.

No wonder the Japanese are alive and well, and there is a gold mine for them to transfuse.

Peng San and the others fled back to the mainland, which would undoubtedly expose the location of the gold mine, which was the reason for their extermination.

But his words were a little suspicious.

"You said that Shedao is thirty miles away from the coastline and surrounded by the sea on all sides, even if the guards are weak, how can the three of you escape back?" Song Che asked.

"Does the military advisor suspect that I am a wolf?" Peng San was a little excited, "I finally escaped with nine deaths!" I just want to let my mother no longer suffer from poverty, I don't steal or rob, am I wrong! ”

"No one will say you're wrong, and they'll even reward you."

Song Che said: "The direction, size, location, and escape route of Shedao are all extremely crucial information, which can play a decisive role in launching a general annihilation against the Japanese in the future. ”

In the vast sea, if you can accurately position, you will definitely do twice the work with half the effort.

Peng San calmed down, and then he said:

"There are nearly 1,000 laborers on Shedao, all of whom are men caught from the coastal areas, digging every day and night, eating little and working hard, dying almost every day, and throwing people into the sea to feed the fish when they die;

I knew very well in my heart that if I didn't find a way to escape, sooner or later I would die without a body;

Wang Qi, Kong Si and a few other fellow villagers were the first to discover Shedao, and there are some secrets that only we know;

On the southeast side of She Island, there is a cliff estuary, under the cliff is a strange reef, and on the lower edge of this reef, there is a large karst cave, the entrance of the cave will be covered by sea water when the tide is high, and the mouth of the cave will be exposed half at low tide;

The location of the gold mine is precisely on the southeast side, and we think that if we can dig through the mine and the karst cave, maybe we can escape without knowing it;

We calculated the location, dug for a whole year, and finally really dug through the cave;

But in order not to be discovered by the overseers, we lied that the foundation of the mountain was weak, and buried the hole with rubble, leaving only a small hole;

Then, taking advantage of the rest and leisure, he began to hoard wood, whether it was sticks, branches, bark, or even chopsticks, all of which were thrown into the cave from small holes for later use.

At the end of October, I don't know what happened, nearly seventy percent of the pirates and ronins were transferred, and later learned that they were going to attack Chuzhou;

I knew my chance to escape had come.

At the end of the night, we did not return to the barracks, but hid in the cave until the overseer left, and then sneaked into the cave, and made a boat out of the hoarded wood and bark, and made sails into the sea along the cave passage.

The night at sea was dark, and we could not discern the direction, so we could only go with the flow and resign ourselves to fate;

God has long eyes, that night happened to blow the southwest wind, and before dawn we were washed up on the coast of Xiuzhou by the sea;

We went from Xiuzhou to Suzhou, and then to Chuzhou, and finally returned to Taizhou after half a month, I thought I had escaped from the devil's cave, but I never thought that before I was stable for two days, I heard that Kong Si's family of seven was wiped out by the Japanese invaders!

At that time, I realized that it was likely that the Japanese were looking for it, so I took my mother to Chuzhou overnight, but unexpectedly, the major states strictly investigated the road guides, and we couldn't get out of Taizhou at all, so we could only mix in the pile of displaced people;

The day before yesterday, I heard a notice from the Taizhou army that I could provide shelter without a guide, so I brought my mother to the barracks, and then came to you......"

After listening to this, Song Che nodded, picked up a handful of golden sands and said, "If I guessed correctly, it was this thing that killed Kong Si and Wang Qi." ”

Peng San was puzzled, "Why?" ”

Song Che said: "Because this golden sand is too small to be used as currency, it is either melted into gold ingots, or it is exchanged for money in equal amounts at a pawnshop; You are indeed smart enough, but you have forgotten that the Japanese are not only at sea, but also have their comrades in Taizhou, and they are powerful people;

I think it must have been Wang Qi or Kong Si who took the golden sand to exchange for money, which led to the exposure of his whereabouts and caused the disaster of death. ”

"At the beginning, we stole Jinsha because we wanted to come back alive and let our wives and children get rid of poverty, but we didn't expect that this greed killed more than a dozen lives of Lao Wang and Lao Kong's family!"

Peng San thumped his chest, his eyes full of remorse.

"By the way, there is another important thing, which is the leader who controls Shedao, do you know?" Song Che asked suddenly.

"I know him when he turns to ashes!" Peng San's eyes were red, "He is the great pirate Wang Zhi!" In the past, like us, he was just a fisherman, but later he colluded with the Japanese and became a smuggler, and after the sea ban, he formed gangs everywhere, which became the biggest scourge in Jiangnan today! ”

Song Che was overjoyed in his heart, and he searched for it, it turned out that this pirate leader had taken root in Shedao.

"What about the other than Wang Zhi? But is there anyone else? Song Che asked again.

"Yes!"

Peng San said firmly: "I don't recognize who they are, they look like people, but their hearts are worse than Wang Zhi;

Most of the hard laborers on the island were kidnapped by them, including the food, equipment, gunpowder, and even the women for the ronin to play with, all of which were also sent by them, and they pulled them boat by boat! ”

Those who have the ability to gather these materials must be big businessmen, the Yang family? The Ma family? Or more?

The Japanese opened gold mines, and then used gold to buy supplies, recruit troops, build ships and build weapons, not to mention local rebellion, which was clearly an attempt to rebel.

"Okay, you will live in the barracks during this time, or live as 'Xie San', and I will send someone to arrange an independent tent for you later, three meals a day, and you will not have to worry about food and clothing."

Peng San is currently the only person who knows the location of She Island, and he must lead the way to attack the island and capture the thief, and there must be no accidents.
