Chapter 686 Southeast Asia Route Map

When Li Zhang heard that Ah Guse wanted to use other things to exchange for a chance to survive, he was stunned and then asked, "What?"

"Navigation!" Aguse's eyes turned and replied, "Navigation is also the route map, which is the basis for sailing on the sea. You must know that the navigation in this era is still very primitive, and the routes are all piled up by generations of sea merchants with their lives. Especially when sailing near the sea, it is very easy to encounter reefs. Therefore, sea ships must know a safe route before they dare to go out to sea. For unknown sea areas, they must also explore a safe route.

In other words, the route map is actually the basis of maritime trade. In this era, most of the route maps were hidden by various maritime merchants. Except for some public routes that were public, the others were regarded as their own secrets by maritime merchants, and under normal circumstances, they would never be circulated outside.

"The chart is indeed a good thing, but your home has been confiscated, and all the crew members of your name are controlled by the court. Even if the chart cannot be found, as long as you interrogate those ships or the managers, you can summarize the information on the route!" Li Zhang responded with a cold smile when he heard this.

Li Zhang had heard Dong Qing mention the importance of the route map before, so he naturally would not ignore this kind of thing. When he was searching his house, he also found some navigation information from the warehouses of Agushe's houses. In addition, those experienced old seamen, it was not difficult to collect the route maps from the hands of Agushe's hands.

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Ah Guse couldn't help but feel a sank in his heart, but he had a trick and immediately spoke again, "Marty, you have my route map in your hand, but I'll go and know a detailed route map of the South Ocean. Nanyang is really a treasure pot, especially the rich spices. Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Dashi, spices are worth ten thousand gold!"

"Nanyang? It's so close to my Song Dynasty. Do you think our Song Dynasty hasn't had a route map to Nanyang?" Li Zhang sneered again and asked back. Now he felt that Aguse was just trying to fool him with some useless things.

"No, no, no, no, this is different. Marquis, you have never been to Nanyang, so you don't know much about the situation there. There are too many islands in Nanyang, and not every island produces spices. And even if it produces spices, some islands still have vicious natives and are not easy to mine. The route map I know not only indicates the route, but also marks the location of some islands that are rich in spices, and there are even gold mines on some islands!" Aguse hurriedly replied, and when he mentioned the gold mine, he also showed a bit of greed on his face, which is truly worthy of being the true nature of a merchant.

"I...I also know, Marquis, don't be deceived by him. The route map is not in his hands. He wants to exchange other people's things for his own life!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Mahler suddenly jumped out and shouted, but as a result, the others seemed to wake up from the shock, and immediately shouted that they knew it.

Seeing Male and his group of people coming out to make trouble, Ah Guse couldn't help but push the other party in anger. As a result, both sides actually started to fight again. This time, Ah Guse was still surrounded by people. Because he was injured before, Ah Guse was quickly knocked down. This time, Male and his group also took the terror. Ah Guse finally fainted and asked them to stop.

"Mr. Marquis, the villain also knows where the Nanyang route map is. As long as Marquis, you are willing to give up your hand, the villain will immediately deliver the news with both hands!" Male rushed to the fence and said to Li Zhang with a flattering look on his face, but his nose was punched by Ah Guse, and he was bleeding at this time. Coupled with his smile, it looked really funny.

"What does it mean to let you go? Shouldn't we die?" As soon as Male finished speaking, a Hu Shang next to him stepped forward and pushed him aside, and then said to Li Zhang, "Marty, the villain knows more and more in detail. Even if you are willing to let the villain go, the villain will immediately pick up the route map for you!"

However, as soon as this guy spoke, the others were reluctant. After all, there was only one way to save his life, but there were so many people, and no one was willing to give the opportunity to others, so soon these people started arguing again, and some were even ready to take action.

"Enough!" At this moment, Li Zhang finally couldn't help but roar, which made everyone honest. Li Zhang sneered and said again, "When did this marquis say that he would spare your life?"

As soon as Li Zhang said something, everyone's faces changed. Aguse, who had fainted at this time, also woke up. When he heard Li Zhang's words, he laughed happily. After all, no one could imagine what he could not get, and he was even a little grateful to Li Zhang at this time.

"When I arrived in prison, everyone was still not honest. It was just a route map. Under Sanmu, I don't believe you, but if I explain it honestly now, I can still suffer less flesh and blood!" Li Zhang snorted coldly again. No matter what conditions these Hu merchants have, these people will definitely die, and no one can change it.

Now Male and others were all ashamed, and they didn't know what to do. At this time, Ah Guse sat up and wiped the blood on his face and laughed, "Hahahaha~, don't snatch it, a bunch of idiots!"

Aguse said and struggled to stand up, then staggered to the fence and looked at Li Zhang and said, "It seems that Dingbei Hou is determined to take the lives of us?"

Li Zhang also looked at Ah Kiyo's eyes at this time. The other party was a smart person. After guessing his thoughts, he seemed to let go and his expression was not as respectful as before. At this point, Li Zhang also smiled faintly and said, "Yes, not just you people, all Hu Shang who violated the law in my Song Dynasty will be severely punished!"

"So... everything? What do you... the Song Dynasty do?" Aguse also heard the murderous aura in Li Zhang's words at this time, and he couldn't help feeling an unprecedented fear.

"What are you doing?" Li Zhang stared at the other party and sneered, "Don't think I don't know the details of you people. On the sea, you are just a group of pirates. Only our Song Dynasty is too lazy to pay attention to you, so we let you live in the Song Dynasty. However, you are not grateful, but instead killed my Song Dynasty people. They colluded with Sun Li and other corrupt officials to annex the property of the Dong family. They usually bully the market and do evil. For you, you can't even kill thousands of swords and even kill them!"

The murderous intent revealed in Li Zhang's words also made Ah Guse feel frightened. He really couldn't understand why this Dingbei Hou was so hostile to him and others? However, he confirmed one thing, that is, his group of people had absolutely no chance of survival, and even if he did not cooperate, he would definitely be severely tortured.

Thinking of this, Ah Guse couldn't help but give up and immediately said again, "Brick, a famous sea merchant in Guangzhou, has a route map for the South China Sea. It is precisely because he has the spice business in Nanyang that Brick can become Guangzhou's leading sea merchant."

"Very good. If you can cooperate like today next time, I may give you a pleasure in the future!" Li Zhang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. He was originally going to go to Guangzhou. After all, there were many Hu merchants there. Now that Brick has a chart of Nanyang in his hand, there is an extra reason, because he will definitely promote the sea trade of the Song Dynasty next, and Nanyang is the first goal of the Song Dynasty.

Seeing Ah Guse telling the news of the Nanyang route map, coupled with the news revealed in Li Zhang's words just now, they were all in a state of silence. Before they met Li Zhang, they still had a luxury in their hearts, but now this luxury has turned into despair.

Now Li Zhang formally interrogated Ah Guse and others. After what happened just now, they all confessed very honestly. Although they were all dead, they did not want to suffer any more flesh and blood before they died. This also made Li Zhang quickly clear the crimes of these people, and the verdict on them was soon issued by Li Zhang. .
