After hearing that they could still live, the bandits immediately knelt on the deck and nodded in agreement like chickens pecking at rice.

It is no longer easy to survive being captured.

Due to the deep hatred of water bandits, generally speaking, whether it is a cargo ship or a warship, after catching a water bandit, they will basically kill it directly.

Given the chance to survive, this group of water bandits became very cooperative!

"Very good, first question, can any of you tell me who initiated and organized this robbery and what the order said? If I remember correctly, Fengzhong Mining has signed an agreement with the Yunze Gang. As long as

It is a ship with the flag of Fengzhong Mining and is not allowed to be robbed. For this reason, Fengzhong Mining also paid a huge sum of 100,000 silver to the Yunze Gang in advance!"

Although Chen Tianhua knew that someone from Japan was involved in this matter, he wanted to know the specific details and who were the specific executors so that he could find an excuse to ask Xiao Long Wang Zhang Beiji for someone.

The freighters Meihua and Orchid were robbed twice, and Xiaolongwang Zhang Beiji must have been planned and instigated by the Japanese behind the scenes.

But Chen Tianhua knew in his heart that he could not directly target Zhang Beiji and start a war with the entire Yunze Gang. With his current strength, he would definitely end up hurting both sides and play into the hands of the Westerners.

If we target Zhang Beiji's subordinates, give him a step down, let him see the situation clearly, and then force him to sign a new agreement, this can ensure the smooth flow of this fatal shipping line, which is Chen Tianhua's purpose

.

By the way, the prisoners on the deck looked at each other in confusion, and the last water bandit who looked stronger said, "I know!"

"Who is it?"

"It's the fifth master of the Yunze Gang, the fifth master, who asked us to rob. The fifth master said that the Xiaolong King ordered each branch to send people out of the ship. All the looted property belongs to us, and we will pay 30% of the ransom for the ship and coal.

Give it to us, that’s why we took the risk! We didn’t do it voluntarily, and we didn’t dare to disobey the Little Dragon King Long Ye!”

Chen Tianhua heard that the Little Dragon King Zhang Beiji had eight great kings under his command. The third master was the naval admiral of the Yunze Gang, and it was he who led the warships and gangs to intercept the freighter Meihua.

The Fifth Master is the deputy admiral of the Yunze Gang Navy and one of the Eight Great Vajras. Zhang Beiji arranged for him to gather a team to attack the Orchid.

What Little Dragon King Zhang Beiji didn't expect was that no matter whether it was the third or fifth child, the final result would be to steal the chicken but lose the rice. After the two battles, the Yunze Gang's warships were lost by 30%, and the backbone was lost.

The bandits killed more than 600 people.

"Fifth Master? Who is he?" Chen Tianhua deliberately asked these prisoners sternly.

"The fifth master is the fifth leader of the Yunze Gang. He is the deputy admiral of the navy directly under the gang. He is ruthless and scheming. He is deeply loved by the gang leader, Xiao Long Wang. He and Xiao Long Wang are both from Xiangxi." A sub-rudder replied.

.

Chen Tianhua turned his head to look at the other prisoners and said sternly: "Is it your fifth master who is taking the lead?"

The leaders of the Yunze Gang who were directly affiliated with the navy immediately nodded, but then shook their heads and said:

"Yes, but not entirely. Our fifth master just called everyone together and held a meeting. Then this group of people was him. He was also the sub-rudder. He was present at the time and was very active!"

"I...I am here, but...everything was planned and proposed by the Fifth Master, as well as One-Eyed Dragon and Baldhead. It was the three of them who kidnapped us. We were just forced. Sir, please believe me."

"My brothers at the helm have never thought of hijacking Fengzhong Mining's ship. It was Master Wu who insisted on it. Just now, my people were just walking around in circles and did not dare to take action. I really ask you to believe me.

!”

The helmsman was so frightened that his face turned green, and he knelt on the deck and tried his best to defend himself.

"I hope to believe you, hehe... But my men suffered a lot of casualties, and I need compensation. Tell me how much I can buy your life!"

Chen Tianhua said jokingly while repairing his nails with a dagger. There was no expression on his face, but he was thinking in his heart.

How much wealth do these water bandits have, and how much can they redeem?

The sub-rudder was stunned for a moment. They used to rob others, but today was the first time they were robbed. He felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't turn his head around.

He scratched his head and thought for a long time before holding back a sentence: "I only have 20,000 pieces of silver on my island, and this is all my savings!"

"Very good, Fei Ge, take him down and lock him up first, and ask him to write down a list of all the leaders who participated in this interception. After recording the interception process, let him sign a bond! Then ask his cronies to bring money to redeem him tomorrow.

"

"Yes..." After Fei Ge heard this, he walked towards the sub-rudder with a ferocious smile, lifted him up directly, and walked quickly towards the cabin.

After solving one of them, Chen Tianhua looked at the rest of the water bandits.

Originally, he planned to kill all these people, but after thinking about it, he felt that these water bandits were still a bit oily, and they might be able to squeeze out something. These ill-gotten gains would be free of charge, even if they had some diesel money.

OK.

Among the water bandits, there were three leaders who were willing to pay 10,000 pieces of silver to redeem them. These three people were also taken away by the guards and held in solitary confinement. Tomorrow, their cronies would be asked to redeem them with the money.

In today's world, money can buy your life.

As for the other water bandits, they were all young ones. They said they had no savings, so they just took off all the valuable things on their bodies.

A large number of gold necklaces and rings were found on this group of water bandits, as well as a small amount of silver coins.

"Major General, what should we do next?!" Fei Ge glanced at the water bandits and whispered in his ear.

He was eager to try, knowing the Major General's temper, and he would definitely not let go of these water bandits who had blood debts, and was waiting for the latest order.

As expected, Chen Tianhua sneered, tilted his head and said to Fei Ge:

"What should we do next? Do we want the governor to raise them? Hehe... throw everyone here into the lake, and swim back to the island if you can!"

The sergeant who acted as a temporary translator, maybe because he had a wrong string, he still translated Chen Tianhua's words very honestly.

When the water bandits heard this, they immediately became furious and wanted to stand up and beg for mercy.

"Don't kill us, sir. Didn't you say you would let us go? Didn't you say you wouldn't kill us if we surrendered?"

Chen Tianhua turned his head, looked at the faces of these water bandits with a surprised expression, and joked:

"That's a bad statement! I didn't say I wanted to kill you. You see, your ship has been registered as a trophy and needs to be confiscated. It is impossible for me to follow the law and take you back by ship. Now,

I just asked you to swim back to the lake. Whether you can survive or not is none of my business. I gave you a chance to survive. The rest depends on how hard you live and how hard you work.
