Looking at the official seal in Chu Ze's hand, the woman's confidence instantly weakened.

Even if she hasn't done anything.

But the status difference between officials and civilians made her instinctively timid.

Even the sharp questioning at the roadside became much gentler: "But our husband said that he doesn't know anything. You can't just give in, right?"

Chu Ze didn't answer her.

He took back his official seal, looked past the woman, and fell behind her.

"Liu Laosi, do you really know nothing?"

Chu Ze's voice was extremely cold, resembling that of an official sitting in the county government hall.

The woman and Liu Laosi shook their bodies subconsciously.

Chu Ze's eyes fell majestically on Liu Laosi. Just when Liu Laosi was about to speak, he quietly reminded him: "Liu Laosi, you'd better think clearly before answering. Although I have not been promoted to court now, But if you dare to lie, I won’t mind dragging you to court. Once you go to court, the consequences will be light."

Liu Laosi's body was shaking even more violently.

His eyes kept darting around, and his lips moved a few times, but he didn't make a sound.

Chu Ze kept looking at him.

Looking at his expression, I knew in my heart that this man's psychological defense could no longer hold any longer.

"Liu Laosi, why are you sick?" Chu Ze suddenly changed the subject.

Zuo Ying turned her head sharply.

"No, Chu Ze, what's the use of asking this?"

He had been standing nearby just now, saying nothing.

I just don’t want to disturb Chu Ze’s case.

Seeing that Liu Laosi was about to speak, this man did not stick to the doubts, but asked irrelevant questions.

Zuo Ying couldn't help it.

He had to say a few words aloud to bring the topic back to the right track.

But Chu Ze had no intention of talking to him.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chu Ze raised a hand to signal him not to speak.

Then, Chu Ze still locked eyes with Liu Laosi and said: "Guilty? Blame yourself? Or do you regret it?"

Every time he said a word, Liu Laosi would tremble.

"Watching your colleagues die in front of you, doesn't it feel good?" Chu Ze continued.

When Liu Laosi heard this, his reaction was even greater.

Two lines of eyes rolled down at once, and the emotion of regret instantly overwhelmed him.

The person who was sitting on the bed just now threw himself on the bed and cried muffledly.

But still said nothing.

A lot of tough talkers.

Okay, this guy has the skills.

Chu Ze continued to exert force.

This time, his voice was as cold as winter ice, and his tone was full of accusations: "You clearly knew that there would be problems with that ship, but you didn't say anything or remind anyone. That incident There were dozens of people on the boat, and the twenty people who died were all killed by you! Liu Laosi, haven't you seen their faces every time you dream back at midnight?!"

"do not talk!"

Liu Laosi roared.

He cried so hard that his body shook, and the sound of sobbing was somewhat filtered by the quilt, but Liu Laosi's sadness could still be heard.

He said in pain: "Please stop talking, we don't want to. But if we don't do this, he will kill Amei and our son."

When Zuo Ying heard this, he felt a huge fire in his heart.

He took a quick step, grabbed Liu Laosi's collar, and asked with red eyes: "So, you are going to harm us?!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zuo, we're sorry for you."

Liu Laosi was cried so hard that his face was covered with tears.

But all he could say was "I'm sorry".

Zuo Ying was so angry that she raised her fist, wishing she could hit Liu Laosi hard in the face.

The woman was frightened. She quickly hugged Zuo Ying's hand and begged, "Master, please spare the fourth child. The fourth child did something stupid, but he didn't do it for money. He did it for us. We can't Watching him being beaten, if you really want to beat me, just beat me."

The woman let go of her hand and stood in front of Liu Laosi.

Liu Laosi was shocked and kept pushing the woman aside: "Mei, this is what we did wrong. It is right for the master to hit us, please get out of the way."

"No, you are doing it for us, we can't watch you get beaten."

The two kept pushing and shoving. Chu Ze frowned at this.

This scene is really heartwarming.

Unfortunately, the prerequisite for their warmth is the destruction of other people's homes.

Chu Ze didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Laosi's choice.

People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.

If it were him, he would be like Liu Laosi.

As for others, they can only hope for their own blessings.

But once that "other person" was related to him, Chu Ze couldn't sympathize with him.

He looked at the two of them, coughed slightly, and said, "Where is that batch of gold? Who took it?"

"Say it!" Zuo Ying wanted to curse.

There was still a cry in Liu Laosi's voice.

"In, in the hands of the water tiger."

"Water tiger?"

Chu Ze and Zuo Ying looked at each other.

A trace of thought flashed in Zuo Ying's eyes, and after a moment, he said: "Remember, in this area, there is a water bandit leader whose nickname is Water Tiger."

It is said that this water tiger has more than a hundred people under his command, all of whom are well versed in the nature of water.

He is the dominant force in Quanzhou.

but……

"We have never crossed paths with him, and we have never offended him. How could he get interested in me?" Zuo Ying couldn't understand.

What puzzled him the most was that their ship was indeed carrying gold.

But usually the ore is transported.

In addition, it is related to the imperial court.

Ordinary bandits wouldn't dare do anything to them.

This water tiger's courage is a bit too great.

Chu Ze looked at Liu Laosi and said in a deep voice: "Is everything you said true?"

"Really, everything we said is true."

Liu Laosi nodded hurriedly.

Without Chu Ze asking, he took the initiative to tell everything he knew.

Speaking of this matter, we have to start with the Zuo family's transport ship leaving Ryukyu.

At that time, the ship was already loaded with cargo.

The ship is slowly leaving the port.

Not long after the ship sailed out, he unexpectedly heard a conversation between two crew members.

Their voices were low, and they hid in corners, glancing around warily from time to time, as if they were afraid of being discovered.

Liu Laosi didn't want to join in the fun at first.

After all, who doesn’t have a secret?

He was about to leave, but suddenly he heard them saying that they wanted to scuttle the ship and steal all the gold on the ship before it entered Quanzhou Port.

Liu Laosi even heard them say that their boss, Water Tiger, was already waiting nearby with his people.

Just wait for the boat to get close and they can launch into the water.

Wait until the boat reaches the predetermined location, then you can start.

This way, they can steal the gold before any rescuers arrive.

Liu Laosi was very shocked when he suddenly heard this.

When people panic, accidents can easily happen.

He was discovered by the other party.

Then came the threats.

For the safety of his family, Liu Laosi could only agree.

What happened next was just as those two people said.

The entire ship was dead except for a few of them.

After coming back, Liu Laosi has been blaming himself. (End of chapter)
