Cheng Chumo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing the name of the Cham country.

I heard him continue to ask casually, "What's your name?" But the local people of Champa? ”

The military advisor replied: "The villain is indeed a native of Champa, named Fan Tong. ”

Cheng Chumo continued to ask: "Then why did the Huang Shiren kidnap you for no reason? ”

The military advisor replied: "Just because the villain has read some books, then Huang Shiren will ask the villain to be his military advisor."

The villain didn't obey, but he threatened me with the villain's family. ”

Cheng Chumo fell silent after listening to his words.

There are no loopholes in what Fan Tong said now.

As for whether it is true or not, I am afraid it needs to be confirmed from the mouths of others.

Now that Huang Shi is still in a coma, he can only hope that others will know the whole story.

Cheng Chumo did not continue to dwell on Fan Tong's origin for the time being, but turned to him and asked him another question.

I only heard him speak: "Who do the Huang Shi people associate with on weekdays?" Is there a financier behind it? How do you sell the stolen goods after you rob them? ”

Fan Tong spoke: "The villain can only be trapped on the island on weekdays, and he really doesn't know about these things!" ”

Cheng Chumo couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Just when he didn't know how to speak, Xu Lang next to him suddenly said, "How long have you been on that island?" How many votes of business have you done? ”

After listening to these two questions, Fan Tong hurriedly answered truthfully.

The timing of their establishment and the number of robberies are well known, and he can't lie about that.

Xu Lang said: "Is there still treasure left on the island?" Do you wait for the pirate's family to stay on the island? ”

Fan Daodao: "The villain's family is not on the island, but many others have taken their families to the island.

As for whether there is any treasure left, the villain really does not know. ”

Xu Lang sneered: "You old boy picked himself clean, you don't know any useful information, but you can answer the useless information happily." ”

Fan Tong opened his mouth and said: "It's not that the villain deliberately concealed it, but the villain is not his own person who is not the pirate, they deliberately conceal the villain!" ”

Xu Lang looked at Fan Tong for a long time until he turned his head sideways.

He opened his mouth and said to Fan Tong: "I think you think that Huang Shiren is dead, so you dare to hide the truth, right?" ”

Fan Tong's heart moved after hearing this.

He had indeed heard the soldiers passing by outside discussing the dying story of the man beating the Huang Shiren in front of him.

That's why he doesn't have any pressure to lie at this time.

At this moment, listening to the meaning of this person's mouth, the Huang Shi people have survived and still not died.

This means that his lies may still be exposed.

But there was no way back for him at the moment.

Therefore, he continued to speak: "Everything the villain said is the truth, and he really did not hide the adult's thoughts. ”

After his words were finished, Cheng Chumo and the two had no choice for the time being.

This person has always said that he was forced to helpless, and it is difficult for them to torture him at will without evidence.

Therefore, the two had to leave temporarily with limited information to report to Zhang Lei.

After the two left, Fan Tong breathed a long sigh of relief and sat on the floor.

He could only pray for Huang Shiren to die soon.

In this way, I have some certainty that I will be able to get out.

At this time, the confessions collected from other pirates had also been collected into Zhang Lei's hands.

It's a pity that the pirates were already unified when they were called.

They all say that they are from the Cham people.

They joined the pirates just to make their lives better.

As for the origin of Huang Shiren and the military advisor, they all didn't know anything.

The more Zhang Lei took this information, the more he felt strange.

But for a moment, he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

So he decided to send someone to the island first and bring the people and belongings back to the ship.

Follow-up actions will be considered slowly after returning to Guangzhou.

Although Huang Shiren was barely breathing at this time, he was actually no different from a dead man.

Not only were the bones on his body injured in many places, but even his internal organs were injured a lot.

On the way back to Datang, he was in a coma, but fortunately, there was ready-made glucose on board to barely keep him alive.

Otherwise, the nearly four-day voyage would have starved the Huang Shiren to death.

When the fleet appeared off the coast of Guangzhou, it had already been discovered by the residents and merchants of the city from afar.

The docks, which were not very lively, quickly became crowded with people as the fleet returned.

Merchants from all walks of life are rushing to the dock in anticipation.

Some people are even trembling with excitement and their palms are sweating.

This year, many of them have already tasted the sweetness of short-distance sea trade.

The cargo they received from the cargo ships of one or two hundred materials alone had already made them a lot of profits.

Now that Datang's ocean-going cargo ship has finally returned, they are all waiting to take on one or two cargoes from it to make a big profit.

Li Zhi, who was originally playing cards with Li Yuan in the courtyard, heard that the caravan was returning, and immediately ran to the dock accompanied by Liu An and others.

He also wanted to know the details of this trade at the first time.

The Marine's warships were separated from the merchant ships and returned to the Marine's own harbor before entering the port.

At this time, more than 300 large ships of more than 500 materials entered the port in turn.

Almost every big ship that enters the harbor is surrounded as soon as it comes to a standstill.

The bidding of merchants comes and goes, and they do not give the owner time to react.

This time, the officials of the city department already have experience.

They moved their office directly to the dock.

In this way, all the formalities can be completed before the goods leave the port.

The tax payable by the cargo owner will be moved directly to the terminal in the terminal for temporary storage.

Li Zhi observed with a telescope in the distance for a long time, and after a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

According to his estimates, this time the sea trade is enough to bring no less than one year's tax revenue to Datang.

This is just the beginning, with the continuous development of maritime trade, Datang's tax revenue will usher in an exponential increase every year.

After observing for a while, Li Zhi took Liu An and the others to the camp of the water division.

He also wanted to find out about the safety situation on the waterway.

After a year of wind and sun, Zhang Lei and others have all lost a lot of weight.

Seeing Li Zhi's arrival, all the generals in the army surrounded him.

Zhang Lei was about to speak when he was interrupted by Li Zhi raising his hand.

I only heard him speak: "Today, the soldiers have just returned, and they are celebrating greatly.

Let the brothers settle down first, and this king will arrange for everyone to eat and drink well tonight. ”

As soon as Li Zhi's words were finished, the generals cheered.

Then the good news was announced, and it was not long before the whole barracks burst into cheers.
