open sea

Chapter 32
The spike gun was still nailed to the ground at a slant, and the Japanese pirate who was face down had been dead for some time, the ground was stained red with blood, and his nose was full of annoying stench.

Kohachiro's bravery has long since disappeared. Sitting on the tree stump with arms folded and trembling, his lips turned pale with fright, his eyes staring blankly at the corpse of the Japanese pirate who kept kneeling to death, his whole body looks like a small sieve.

Chen Mu squatted next to him and held Xiao Hachiro's shoulders, his frowning face became more and more troubled, he opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything, his own worldview was still fighting against a wild world, how could he comfort the teenage killer? An adult child?

Could it be possible for him to say that this kid did the right thing?
He wanted to say it, knew it was right, but couldn't.

Following Wei Balang's gaze to see the kneeling dead Wozi, Chen Mu was extremely irritable, and waved his hand to call Shao Tingda, pointing at the dead body, and said, "Throw it into the ditch, look at it and make trouble!"

Shao Tingda was so simple and powerful, he pulled out the tassel gun upside down and danced in a circle in his hand, then inserted it on the ground beside him, lifted the Japanese's leg and walked two steps away, then put it on the side of the road, kicked it to make the corpse roll around a few times Turn to the bottom of the field beside the road.He didn't follow Chen Muzhen and threw it into the ditch. The ditch beside the road is used for irrigating the farmland, so it shouldn't be affected by the bad luck of the corpse.

What's more... this corpse might be full of money, how could Shao Tingda be willing to let the water soak.When his brother changes his mind, he will definitely take the corpse out of the field and send it to the guard!
He patted Wei Balang on the shoulder twice again, and then Chen Mu stood up and took two steps with his hands behind his back, and then turned his head and asked the Japanese pirates who were kneeling on the ground and tied up by five flowers: "You said your name was Qi Zhengyan, five years ago When my father was Xiaoqi, you were a fugitive from his command and wanted to go to Zhejiang to join General Qi. Since you said you knew him, Mr. Chen, you should know him first."

Chen Mu was not sure that he had this memory in his head, but Shao Tingda knew this bald Japanese pirate who spoke Chinese with a bare chest, so Chen Mu let go of the source first, and then asked: "The fugitive who was with you five years ago , what's his name, where did he go?"

Qi Zhengyan, who looked like a Japanese pirate, had his hands and feet bound. He seemed to have been frightened by Wei Balang killing his accomplice without saying a word. Drooling, he quickly replied: "His name is Xie Ping, he is dead, three years ago in Pinghaiwei, Xinghua, he was stabbed to death by Qi's army's big iron bamboo."

The big iron bamboo mentioned by the Japanese pirates should be the Wolf Whip of the Qi Family Army, which is powerful in the southeast.

The time was right. Five years ago, Qi's army recruited soldiers in Zhejiang. The soldiers were paid generously, and the guards' hearts fluttered. Many people went as fugitives to apply for the recruitment. Chen Mu remembered this.And the fact that the Japanese pirates occupied Pinghaiwei three years ago can also be mutually confirmed with the memory.

But here is the problem.

Chen Mu suddenly wanted to laugh, and stood in front of Qi Zhengyan and asked condescendingly: "You went to Zhejiang to join the Qi family army, why did you join the carrot head and shaved your bald head, and finally died at the hands of the Qi family army? Did you want to be Japanese pirates from the beginning? That’s why I voted for Japanese pirates and was killed, huh?”

"Xiao Qi, being a Japanese is not as good as being a military household. How can we go to the Japanese pirates? This is absolutely true, let me explain!" Qi Zhengyan kowtowed again and again, seeing that Chen Mu had no intention of killing him for the time being, he hurriedly said: "We will wait for you." After leaving Qingyuan, I went to Zhejiang after working day and night, but the Japanese pirates killed the people and ran away, so I had to run with the crowd and was caught up in the village. Yang Chen was killed one by one, and I was detained before I dared to fight again, which saved my life."

"It's full of nonsense, the Japanese are vicious by nature, and they can still save your lives?" Shao Tingda took two steps forward with his sword, rolled up his sleeves and turned to Chen Mu, "Brother told me to kill these two Japanese pirates, so I don't have any ulterior motives!"

"It's absolutely true! The Japanese pirates didn't kill anyone they met. They captured women and sent them back when they became impatient. They just stole a life and were laughed at by the villagers all their lives. If the men were old and weak, they killed them. Whenever they are strong, they shave off their hair and pretend to be Japanese like me. Whenever they fight, they throw their knives at us and lead the battle. The officers and soldiers only need the leader of the Japanese pirates to receive the reward, and the common people will be killed if they are bald and have dysentery. If you pretend to be meritorious, it doesn't matter what is true or false."

"When my hair is shaved, I know I'm going to die." Speaking of this, Qi Zhengyan's voice was slightly weaker, and he looked up at Chen Mu before saying weakly: "Simply relying on Japanese power, I can survive for a few more days ..."

No one has ever told Chen Mu about these things, and now he is not in a hurry, sitting by the side of the road and nodding his head: "Later, let's talk about it."

"Later, later, later, the Japanese pirates raided various places and plundered gold, silver, grain and fodder. When they heard that the imperial army was approaching, they taught the Japanese to scatter the utensils with the people along the coast and exchange them for silk. They robbed the ships and went back to their home countries. Some people were driven away on the shore. , We knew some martial arts, so we were brought back to Japan and called slaves. We were shaved and barefoot, and looked like our own country. We were given knives and guns, taught to dance, and after a year and a half we got used to the soil and water, and the Japanese language was no different from real Japanese. "

Chen Mu interrupted and asked, "What do you call the Japanese pirates who kidnapped you in Japan?"

Qi Zhengyan was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "Some people call it the Tango Pirates, while others say it's the Qiyin Navy, and the leader is called Nihonsuke..."

Chen Mu waved his hand. He was not interested in listening any more. The Tango Pirate Qiyin Navy was a small character he had never heard of, and it didn't matter.Standing up and exercising his muscles and bones, he first pointed to the two Japanese pirates from the Ming Dynasty, and then pointed to the corpse under the field ridge, and said, "Your name is Qi Zhengyan, a fugitive; his name is Long Junxiong, a Fujian Haimin; the dead one is a real Japanese Haimin of the Wa Kingdom, he can bring Chen Mu 30 taels of silver—you two, one tael of silver is not worth it, so give Chen a reason not to kill you."

Congwo, are you pitiful?Pitiful.

But should they be killed?It's time to kill!

Qi Zhengyan originally thought that Chen Mu was willing to let them go, but he never thought that he would kill them in the end, so he quickly said, "We were forced to run back to Xiaoqi..."

"Don't talk about those useless ones. You came back because General Qi won a great victory in the southeast and drove here. Back then, he saw the Japanese pirates' strength and voted for them. This year, he saw the Ming army's strength and wanted to come back again." Chen Mu's face was full. Very calm, killing or not killing is between two choices, but if you don't kill, you have to take responsibility to restrain them, it's nothing more than a price, "What will you do, what can you bring to Chen?"

Besides, harboring Japanese pirates?Chen Mu had no such plan.

"I can dance and wield Japanese swords. After four years of learning, I can speak Japanese and can kill people for Xiaoqi! Toshio has been in Japan for six years. He can also dance Japanese and sail a boat! Xiaoqi left me alone Life, I can be an ox or a horse, don't kill me!"

Chen Mu raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and was about to make a decision, Shi Qi stepped forward and said to Chen Mu: "Xiao Qi, take a step to speak."

When the two concubines were worried, I didn't know what Shi Qi said beside him. When Chen Mu came again, he waved to Shao Tingda and said, "Mang Zi shaves their heads, keep them both!"
