Fang Zhiyuan and others returned to the village with a group of people in the village. Those who stayed in the village were still awake and were waiting to know what the result would be.

Some people have never had any contact with the government in their lives, and they have some innate fear of the government and officials.

This time, people in the village were also a little worried about whether the government had colluded with the pirates and would arrest them all and find a reason to hold them accountable.

The people in the three villages were so uneasy that they did not rest. After dinner, they gathered in the open space. They waited until Haishi, when everyone returned home, but except for the children, no adults could sleep.

It was not until midnight that Fang Zhiyuan and the others came back. All the people from the neighboring village returned to their own village, and only the people from Sanjing Village came back.

Because there were livestock carts, people who were not sleeping in the village ran out when they heard the sound of the wheels.

They all asked the village chief, "Village chief, how are you doing? Have all the pirates been handed over to the government?"

"Did the official give me a reward?"

"What did the official say? What should we do with those outsiders?"

"Yes, do you live in our village? Do you have any explanation? What is the situation?"

Seeing so many questions from everyone, Village Chief Yu knew that if he didn't talk about it today, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

I might as well have someone light a few more torches and call people to go to the open space to talk to everyone, so as not to have to repeat it tomorrow.

When everyone arrived, including those from Yuncheng who had recovered their physical strength, the village chief Yu loudly recounted the story of how he met Lord Fu Wei and Lord Magistrate in Wuling City, as well as the decisions of the two adults.

Narrated it once.

After everyone heard this, they finally felt relieved knowing that the government attached great importance to it and would catch all these pirates in the future.

Moreover, their merits will be rewarded according to their merits, which is very exciting. I wonder what they will be rewarded for?

They sent the pirates away with great fanfare, just because they were afraid that the government would conceal their achievements. If the government wanted to deny their credit or go back on their word, it would not be that easy.

After hearing what Village Chief Yu said, I felt relieved for the time being. It was already so late. If I had anything to say, I could talk about it tomorrow, so I went straight home to rest.

After all, the whole day has been busy from morning to now, and I am very tired, especially those who went out to sea. They went out early in the morning and have not rested until now. They are probably very tired.

Yu Fugui took his family, Jiayin and the others back to his home. After saying a few polite words, they left. They were indeed exhausted.

Fang Zhiyuan and others discussed with Jiayin and the others first, and would rest in Mitsui Village tomorrow.

By the way, I would like to see if the government would summon them for questioning. If not, I decided to go into the mountains to visit the Four Seasons Valley the day after tomorrow, and then leave.

Anyway, they weren't going to get involved in what happened later, and they didn't need anything to receive the reward. Who knew when it would be, they didn't have that much time, and they had to go to other places.

After the discussion, they each went back to their rooms. It was almost dawn now, and it would be dawn if we didn't sleep.

Jiayin waited for everyone to fall asleep, then took Qingzhu and left again, this time to go mining on Turtle Island.

The dragon and the snake still went for a swim in the deep sea first, and then swam all the way to the edge of Turtle Island. Only then did Jiayin transform into a human form and come out of the sea, taking Qingzhu to a crater in the southwest corner of Turtle Island.

The top of the mountain is circular, with a concave circular pit in the middle. The shiny ore that Jiayin saw with his spiritual consciousness before was in this pit.

The stones are not big, mostly the size of a fingernail, and the largest one is as big as a baby's fist, but they are very beautiful and emit colorful lights under the light.

Jiayin thought that if this was mounted on her golden crown, it would be very beautiful and dazzling.

Qingzhu did not shrink his body at all, and directly carried Jiayin with his huge body and ran forward. It was not like Jiayin's body, because if he did not belong to this world, he would be rejected by this world.

Although Qingzhu practiced the Dragon Clan's skills in the Boundary Breaking Pearl and absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the spiritual stones.

But Qingzhu itself was conceived in this world, so it is recognized by the laws of heaven in this world, and will not reject it, nor will it be struck with lightning.

Although Qingzhu is now showing signs of turning into a dragon, it has not reached that level yet.

Moreover, it is impossible to turn into a dragon in this world. After all, there is no spiritual energy and no thunder tribulation. If you want to break through, you must leave this world and go to a higher level world.

In this way, if you stay in this world, you can actually use some magical powers, but of course they are limited to communicating with people or controlling the sea beasts in the sea.

Just use its coercion to control those sea beasts. Of course, you can do it on land, but it's not as easy as in the sea. After all, you can control water as a dragon in the future.

Just like that, Jiayin rode on Qingzhu, pointed in the direction, and ran to the top of the crater mountain at an extremely fast speed.

The two of them ran to the low-lying area and prepared to dig down there.

Jiayin has seen it with his spiritual consciousness. Not only is it on the surface, but there are also many hidden underneath, and they are much bigger.

Because it was night, it would be inconvenient for the two of them to dig only by relying on their spiritual consciousness.

Jiayin simply took out the luminous bead from the space and used it for lighting.

She placed the luminous pearl on a dead tree branch and set it up, so that the area could be illuminated clearly.

If someone looks down from above, he can see the southwest corner of the turtle-shaped island, where there is a bright circle.

Fortunately, the southwest corner is a low-lying area. If you look at it from all sides, you can't see it at all.

Of course, there are no ships within a few hundred miles of their spiritual consciousness.

When Jiayin intercepted the memory of the little pirate leader before, he knew where the pirate's lair was.

The pirates' home base is on a small island outside Guanhai City, Hainan County. The island is called Binghuo Island.

The reason why it is called this is because of the peculiar climate of the island. One side of the island is very hot and like a furnace all year round, but the other half is very cold and even covered with snow all year round.

The entire island is surrounded by ice and fire. It is said that this island cannot be inhabited at all.

But few people know that a piece of land about ten miles in the middle of Binghuo Island is like spring all year round.

Just like Songyuan County before, the top of Xuelong Mountain is covered with snow all year round, but the bottom of the mountain is like spring all year round.

The entire island of Ice and Fire Island is divided into two, no, it should be said to be divided into three, half ice and half fire, and the middle position is an environment suitable for human habitation. Those pirates have camped there, and there are quite a few of them.

According to the memory of the little leader, there were hundreds of people stationed on Binghuo Island, including men and women. The men were pirates and the women were kidnapped by them.

There are nearly a hundred pirates operating everywhere outside, and it is actually quite difficult to catch them all.

Because those people operating outside have no fixed residence at all, and even the pirates on the island don't know where they are.

It may be nearby, it may be far away, or it may not even be in another country.

The main reason is that it is not convenient to communicate externally, and we can only passively receive information from outsiders.

These pirates move freely when they go out. To put it bluntly, they go around robbing, doing business, and even collecting intelligence.

Most of them move around in the name of caravans. Only when they encounter the right opportunity, they will turn into robbers, directly rob other caravans, and then disguise themselves as that caravan to sell other people's goods. What they do is purely without capital.

Buy and sell.

Just like the pirate caravan that came to Mitsui Village this time, these pirates did come from the north.

They ran to the north a few months ago, and when they came back, they met a caravan coming here to collect overseas goods.

He pretended to be traveling with someone else's caravan, and then went to a remote place to kill all the people in the caravan!

After that, he directly took the money from the caravan and the grain that he brought as his own. When he arrived at a prefectural city, he sold off all the grain, bought a lot of local specialties, and continued walking south.

Just like this, I walked all the way back to the south from the north. When I arrived at Wuling City, I heard several fellow pirates who had just left the island saying that they were asked to find a way to capture some people and take them back.

It is said that this is the goods that the leader promised to others. I heard that Banyue Kingdom spends money to buy people and the price they give is very attractive, which is much higher than the price of buying slaves.

It seems that some other things were promised, which the people below them don't know very well, but there are only a dozen people in their pirate caravan. If they are asked to arrest people, how many can they catch?

So after discussing, they simply went to sea to deceive people along the way. These pirates used special methods to send signals to their accomplices, asking the pirates' accomplices to send people and ships to come over to pick up the people, capture them directly from the sea, and transport them away.

The reason why these three villages arrived later than those in Yuncheng was because their fake caravan was divided into two groups.

One group will leave first and go to the other two cities, spreading some rumors along the way and deceiving some if they can.

Wuling City was deliberately left behind for the next batch, so that there would be a time lag and it would not be easy to be exposed and discovered.

The first group of people had set out for Yuncheng early. Although they were busy along the way, people in some villages were more cautious and feared that there might be a scam and they would be deceived, so they sent people to the city to inquire about it.

In this way, we immediately knew that the north was not affected by the disaster at all, so we were not fooled.

And in some villages, like Mitsui Village, the people in the village are relatively simple and believe it easily.

Especially for the villages closest to Fucheng, maybe because of the darkness under the lights, they were relatively close to Fucheng, so they felt that the other party would not lie so easily exposed.

But the truth is exactly the opposite. The other party just told a lie that was so easy to expose and deceived the villagers.

It can only be said that several of their villages were really a little too careless. They were so close and no one thought of going to the city to inquire before going out to sea.

Not careful enough, so I got fooled.

If those pirates and all the villages they passed were fooled, hundreds of people would not have been captured on that island.

Jiayin originally thought about searching the memories of the four people who seemed to be the leaders on the ship later.

It's just that Fang Zhiyuan and the others want to escort these pirates to Wuling City and hand them over to the government. If Jiayin intercepts their memories, these pirates will become fools, and the government will be unable to interrogate them.

Jiayin couldn't directly tell the government the clues in her memory that she found, so she simply let the government examine it.

Jiayin can search other people's memories, for example, the fake caravan of a dozen people that has walked outside Guanhai City.

Those people are the pirate caravan that deceived everyone in Mitsui Village before. Now they have reached the vicinity of Guanhai City, and they are still half a day away.

There is a curfew in Guanhai City, and you cannot enter even at night. If you want to enter the city, you have to wait until the next morning.

Therefore, the pirate caravan is still on its way slowly. It plans to arrive at Guanhai City at dawn, which is the perfect time to enter the city.

Jiayin felt that if this was the case, then she would not be polite. She directly detected the leading pirate inside with her spiritual sense and searched his memory. The things she just knew were from his memory.

Now this information is enough. If the pirates here don't recruit, Jiayin can ask Qingzhu to send a message to the village chief, and ask the village chief to inform the prefect Zhou and Lieutenant Han.
To be continued...
