Zeng Yi suddenly stood in awe of the old man and secretly gave him a thumbs up, "You're always like this!" The old man gave a wry smile and said, "You're just hanging on for a breath."
As the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Zeng Yi was very concerned about the suspected spies that the pirates secretly placed back to the Central Plains. He looked around and asked in a low voice: "Then do you know who has been released recently?"
"A few know, but most of them are not very clear. They know that most of them are from the Central Plains. According to him, a businessman from Jiangnan is mainly engaged in the tea business. After being captured, he processed tea for the pirates. Later,
After working for a few months, he was let go. It was said that he performed well. From my point of view, that guy must have given benefits to the pirates..."
Zeng Yi learned about a few personnel from the old man's mouth, and he kept it in his mind. That day, he followed a group of old boatmen to rest the warships for the Persian pirates. As night came, several more warships came back from overseas, "Sure enough,
, these pirates are more than just a few battleships!"
Counting the pirate warships that hijacked them, there are now seven or eight main warships docked at the port, all of which are Persian warships. "With so many warships and only us, can we come here?" Zeng Yi asked the old men intentionally or unintentionally.
The boatman asked. There were only dozens of old boatmen helping the Persian pirates build warships, and all of them were grinders. Their efficiency was appalling.
"It turned out to be more, but I heard that it provoked forces that shouldn't be provoked. Several ships were destroyed and now only these few are left. Moreover, we are only responsible for repairing some minor injuries. If there are serious battle losses, these pirates usually
Send it out for repair."
"There are only these few warships left, and they will basically all come back at night. If ten warships are dispatched and surrender at night, these pirates can be completely annihilated within a few hours!" Zeng Yi had already figured out the situation of the pirates in his mind.
Thinking about the battle plan.
The original plan was for Zeng Yi to commit suicide and leave after figuring out the strength of the pirates. However, he accidentally learned that the Persians might have planted a lot of spies in the Central Plains, so he decided not to leave for the time being. He wanted to find out who had been released by Persia recently.
Those Central Plains people, have these people already taken refuge in Persia?
The Persian pirates basically did not regard these prisoners as human beings. They did the most dangerous and tiring work, lived in the worst houses, and ate food that was not even as good as pig food. During dinner, Zeng Yi was so disgusted that he almost vomited out his breakfast. This
Not to mention, if he was accidentally caught by the pirates, he would be beaten severely. After seeing these situations for a day, Zeng Yi was even more sure that the Central Plains people who were let go were not normal.
Zeng Yi seized the time and asked the captured hostages for information on those who were released when he had the opportunity, and got a lot of information one after another. "Based on the information obtained so far, the situation of more than a dozen people from the Central Plains has been basically determined.
These people are all businessmen, and they are basically businessmen from various ports along the coast! In addition to knowing some business information, these people are also unlikely to know other national secrets. Why do these Persian pirates have so many spies like this?"
In a few days, Zeng Yi figured out the identities of most of the Central Plains people who were let go. In addition to the identities of these people, Zeng Yi also discovered something. These pirates did not go out to fight in the autumn wind every day, but there was no pattern.
He would go out every few days, but every time he went out, he would gain something. What made Zeng Yi even more puzzled was that the Persian pirates seemed to know that they would gain something when they went out, and they were ready to receive the goods before each time they went out.
Zeng Yi also specifically asked the hostages about this, and the situation was exactly as Zeng Yi suspected. Some people even told Zeng Yi that not long after the pirates left, the pirates who stayed behind began to instruct them to clean up the warehouse where the tea was stored. As a result,
The pirates came back the next day and brought back several merchant ships' worth of tea.
Zhongyuan, who felt more and more that things were abnormal, took the time to learn about all the people who had been released from Zhongyuan. The one Zeng Yi came into contact with first, the old man Zhongyuan, was so tough that he seemed to have noticed something unusual about Zeng Yi, and even took the initiative to help Zeng Yi.
Yi investigated the news about those people from the Central Plains. The old man had been here for more than two years, and he was considered an old man. The hostages with him were either dead or had been released long ago. He was the only one who was still alive. With this, he could be considered an old man.
With the help of people who knew the situation extremely well, Zeng Yi quickly grasped the situation of dozens of Central Plains people.
Dozens of people from the Central Plains were let go. Most of them were merchants from coastal areas, and these merchants were engaged in tea, silk, and porcelain. Only a few were merchants from inland areas. Among them, what Zeng Yi paid more attention to was
A businessman engaged in the spice business in the capital.
The situation was almost under control. Zeng Yi knew that it was time for him to leave here, but Zeng Yi couldn't just commit suicide and leave. A sudden suicide of a person who looked normal just a few days ago would attract the attention of Persian pirates, and
The ship Zeng Yi spent money to board was not the crew of the original merchant ship. If the Persian pirates discovered something unusual and might alert the snake, the previous investigation of the situation of the Persian pirates would be in vain.
Another reason is that these Persian pirates also use the system of sitting together to manage hostages. If something goes wrong, the entire team will encounter them. Although they will not kill them directly, they will also punish others very cruelly. These hostages are all NPCs.
But everyone actually helped Zeng Yi. Zeng Yi thought that he was not a good person, but he had a bottom line and could not harm the people who helped him.
Therefore, in order to commit suicide safely, Zeng Yi made a special design and pretended to be sick from exhaustion. The pirates would naturally not waste medicinal materials to treat a person who was of little value in their eyes, and did not even reduce Zeng Yi's work.
I pretended to be cross-dressing for two days, pretending I couldn't stand it anymore, so I committed suicide that night.
The scene that Zeng Yi played for two days was indeed useful. He did enough for the show. After Zeng Yi committed suicide, he did not resurrect immediately but waited for almost half an hour before resurrecting. If he resurrected immediately, the body on the other side would be dead.
It was wiped out immediately. If the pirates thought he had escaped, the hostages would be in trouble. The hostages on the other side found out that Zeng Yi could not bear it and committed suicide, and immediately reported it to the Persian pirates. The pirates looked at Zeng Yi's body and also
Without thinking much, he quickly threw it into the sea.
After the resurrection, it was already late at night. Zeng Yi did not rush to Jinyiwei. Instead, he went offline and took the three bosses to discuss it. After hearing the news Zeng Yi got, the three people also immediately suspected those who had been released.
people, it is very likely that they have taken refuge with the Persians.
