By the time Lu Jing returned from the research ship, the more than 20 guards and members of the expedition team who had been imprisoned in the cabin had regained their freedom and were standing on the deck with a cower.

There are many people but no one dares to act on their own, and the corpses around that have not been cleaned up are undoubtedly the best sedative.

At the same time, Shen Linyue was accompanying an old man with gray temples to discuss something with Fu Ju and Gorman.

"The captain is here, he is the one who has the idea, and you tell him something. ”

When Fu Ju saw Lu Jing returning, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking, turned to trott to the latter's side, and said,

"They want to get back to their ship and are willing to pay us a lot of money in return for saving them. ”

"Got it, did you find anything in the ship?"

Lu Jing was not in a hurry to talk to them, but just asked.

"The two boxes of Xingsha still have some miscellaneous coins, I probably counted them, not counting Xingsha, only about 10 gold leaves, guns and ammunition, etc., I have all moved back to our ship, and there are nothing else valuable. ”

Fu Ju couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when he said this.

You must know that she has seen a lot of strange things and pseudo-strange things, and she has also counted the boxes of gold leaves in the captain's room of the Tideflow, and she thought that she could gain something this time, but in the end, she was naturally very disappointed with these things.

"Do you think everyone is us, this kind of pirate group composed of ordinary people, it will only be a dozen gold leaves for a few months, and the really valuable things are not here...... You hurry up with the mechanical box to the inspection ship, Xu Chu is waiting for you there, there is something you need to move. ”

Raising his hand and talking about Fu Ju's forehead, Lu Jing rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

"Okay. ”

Raising her hand and snapping her fingers, several unloaded mechanical boxes on the deck of the Tide Stream next to her immediately ran back along the sampan, and followed Fu Ju to the tail of the pirate ship.

Waiting for Fu Ju to leave, the expression on Lu Jing's face gradually became indifferent, and the pistol he had just borrowed temporarily from Xu Ju was held in his hand, and he released some killing intent slightly, which immediately plunged the deck, which was still a little noisy just now, into silence.

"He's the boss of these people?"

Lu Jing walked up to Shen Linyue and asked bluntly.

"This is the leader of this expedition, Mr. Zheng Wenqi. ”

Sensing the change in the momentum on Lu Jing's body, and then thinking of the words she heard on the Xiliu before, Shen Linyue's face turned pale and replied softly.

"I hate to go around the bush, and to put it bluntly, I can let you people go, and I'm not interested in that research ship, if you want to, this pirate ship will also belong to you. ”

Lu Jing said this in a loud voice, so everyone on the deck naturally heard it, and they all showed joy, so they continued to speak,

"However, I have saved all of you, and there is still to be a reward for everything, and I find it quite interesting that the wreckage and stone fragments in the bilge of the ship, so I want you to help translate the contents, and as soon as the translation is complete, you can leave immediately. ”

When it came to the slate, whether it was Shen Linyue or Zheng Wenqi, their expressions were stiff, and the crowd on the rear deck began to talk to each other again.

"This ...... This hero, those stone slabs are cultural relics that we salvaged, and the words on them have to be translated by professionals, and we are all engaged in salvage projects......"

"You're saying that none of you here can translate the words on the tablets?"

Lu Jing smiled, took out the pieces of paper from his pocket, and looked around at everyone present,

"So, when the pirates boarded the ship, they must have killed all the people who were going to translate the rubbings?"

Seeing that Lu Jing took out the paper that had not been burned in a hurry, the old man immediately wanted to explain, but found that Lu Jing in front of him suddenly raised his finger and signaled him to shut up.

As it turned out, Xu Chu was right.

Most of the time, people are cheap bones, and they have to feel pain to know how cruel this world is!

"I'm curious, why do you think we're good people when we killed a whole ship of pirates?"

Lu Jing took a step sideways to the right, walked to the old man's side, and no longer gave him a chance to speak,

"Mr. Zheng said that there is no one here who can translate these symbols, I don't believe it, so I'm going to ask again, but this time with the conditions, I just roughly counted, there are about 16 stone slabs in the bilge, and there are more than 20 people here, so let's do it, if any of you can translate a stone slab, I will let whoever go back to his ship, of course, if there is one who can translate two, he can also save one person, as for the rest...... The weather is nice today, the water of the Boundless Sea is not cold, you should be able to swim, right?"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd on deck immediately became noisy.

The afternoon sea is not cool, but deep enough!

Shen Linyue next to her pulled the sleeve of the pale-faced old man, who was stunned for two seconds, and hurriedly spoke as if he had come back to his senses,

"This strong man, I actually ......"

"Hey, don't say you will, I hate people lying to me, maybe I'll change my words and translate two pieces to live. ”

Lu Jing directly interrupted his words, and looked at the rest of the people on the deck with a cold face,

"I've said dozens of times, if no one stands up, then I'll treat you as if no one here will, friendly reminder, if I think you have no value at all, the consequences are very serious. ”

Bang!

Pulling the trigger to the sky, in the midst of the gunshot, Lu Jing suddenly shouted: "I want to talk alive!"

"I'll translate those words, I, I want to live. ”

In the crowd, a middle-aged woman raised her hand and said tremblingly.

"Hey~ That's right, there are more than a dozen broken slates there. ”

Seeing that someone finally couldn't help it, Lu Jing immediately put down the gun, took a few steps forward to bring her out of the crowd, and at the same time looked at the other people around her, and continued,

"You can now think about who you'll save later...... By the way, I also have a service, if you don't want to save anyone, then you translate one more piece, and I'll help you send a nasty guy down for a swim, rest assured, it's the kind of diving that will never float up. ”

Someone raised his head, coupled with Lu Jing's deliberate amplification of his voice, the rest of the people naturally couldn't sit still, and spoke one after another, and for a while, half of the team of more than 20 people actually raised their hands, and the remaining people who really couldn't translate also began to ask for help from those who might be selected at this time, so that they could translate one more piece so that they could save themselves from this damn pirate ship!

"Gorman, take them there, remember to cross-translate, and if anyone dares to 'paddle', let him go into the sea and paddle enough. ”

Lu Jing secretly gave Gorman a look, he had to make sure that no one among these people deliberately caused trouble.

"Come with me. ”

With a shake of the giant scythe in his hand, Gorman's "facial paralysis" expression in the face of strangers undoubtedly played a big role at this time, and those who were chosen followed him half-sadly and half-happily to the research ship.

When the others were almost gone, Lu Jing returned to his previous position, leaning on the side of the ship, scratching his chin with glass, glanced at the rest of the people on the deck, and said with a sneer,

"What are you doing, don't you start warming up quickly, and no one will save you when you have cramps in the sea later. ”

"Boat, captain, can you give us another chance, those slate are secrets of the imperial court, and if we leak the secret, we will be questioned, so Mr. Zheng ...... just now"

Shen Linyue, who had not raised her hand, leaned in again, and she still wanted to make a final effort.

"Call me Captain Lu, you are not qualified to call me 'Captain'!"

Lu Jing frowned and interrupted Shen Linyue's words, even if there was only one word missing, there was still a distinction between outsiders and companions between these two titles,

"In addition, what kind of bullshit court asks, see clearly, it is me who is standing in front of you now, I reminded you before, and I also gave you a chance just now, since you toast and don't eat to eat and drink, then don't blame me for being ruthless, lying, you have to pay the price!"

In the second half of the sentence, Lu Jing said to Zheng Wenqi, he could see that this old man was still doing some kind of psychological struggle at this time, and it was obvious that he must still have some secrets in his heart.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Jing changed his words,

"But I'm still quite satisfied with you, the party leading the way, and I'm not an evil guy after all, so I can give you a chance to redeem it, but only this time, I will decide how many people to release depending on the value of the information you give, if you still want to perfunctory me like before, I will eat you people, the emperor can't keep it, I said this!"

"I know what you want, those slate spells, right?"

Forced to this, Zheng Wenqi finally opened his mouth.

"Yo~ I thought you were going to die to the end, what's the matter, I'm afraid of death now?"

Lu Jing looked at the old man in front of him, he had always hated people who didn't know what to do, pursed his lips, and continued,

"The good thing about me is that I talk a lot, and as long as you give you enough valuable information, I can let you go. ”

"I was involved in translating a complete slate out of curiosity...... I wrote them down, and I also learned a special spell that I used to exchange for the rest of our lives!"

"Spells?"

Hearing Zheng Wenqi's words, Lu Jing was also stunned immediately, and then his expression became strange again,

I thought about testing this guy, but I didn't expect to catch a big fish!
