Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Ning Fan stared at Wang Hai carefully. He was observing the man's expression and every move. It took a long time before Ning Fan raised his hand to indicate that Wang Hai could stand up.

"You used to be a pirate and how many people did you kill?"

Ning Fan asked straight to the point.

When Wang Hai heard Ning Fan's question, he was immediately startled, with a look of extreme embarrassment on his face. After thinking about it, he said seriously to Ning Fan: "Although the common people have been pirates, But he has never killed anyone with his own hands. The common people are only responsible for accounts and logistics in the pirate gang."

"Every time pirates come ashore to rob, plunder and kill, the common people never take part."

Wang Hai explained to Ning Fan seriously, explaining that he had never killed ordinary innocent people with his own hands.

When Ning Fan heard what Wang Hai said, he naturally didn't believe it. With a cold snort, Ning Fan sneered and said, "So, you are a really good person."

Hearing Ning Fan's sarcastic words, Wang Hai was immediately startled, with a miserable look on his face. He glanced at Qin Ying, and then said to Ning Fan: "Actually, ordinary people are not No matter how good people are, they only join pirates to earn more money, and ordinary people also do bad things without conscience, but the piracy trend has gone away recently, and ordinary people want to join the imperial court and find a place to settle down."

"You are honest."

Ning Fan nodded, recognizing Wang Hai's attitude. If Wang Hai was glib, Ning Fan would not believe him. But while Wang Hai admitted his mistakes, he also expressed his speculative thoughts. Frankly, this is a real villain.

"If you are just an ordinary businessman, then it is useless for me to make you an official. At best, it will only exempt you from the death penalty. Of course, you will also need to spend a lot of money to buy your life."

Ning Fan stared at Wang Hai coldly without giving in at all.

Wang Hai originally thought that he could tell the specific location of the pirates, and the imperial court would definitely give him a promotion, and he would have a prosperous career from then on, but he soon discovered that he had thought wrong. The young emperor in front of him was simply It's just soft and hard, and it doesn't take itself seriously at all.

"If you say now that you regret it and don't want to lead the way for me, then I can have your whole family executed for piracy."

Ning Fan seemed to have guessed what Wang Hai was thinking, and a colder look appeared on his face.

Sure enough, Wang Hai was startled when he heard Ning Fan say this, with a look of embarrassment and fear on his face.

"Your Majesty, ordinary people do not seek to be an official, they only seek to survive in this world. From now on, I will change my mind and never do any bad things again."

Wang Hai was tortured to the point of tears by Ning Fan. This former pirate leader was like a child in front of Ning Fan, being played around with.

"If you are leading the way, then there is no way to offset the crimes you have committed before. I just said that you have to dedicate all your property to the court. In addition, you have to show your worth. Otherwise, I have no reason to keep you and let you live."

Ning Fan's attitude was still cold, and these words drove Wang Hai to a dead end. Even Qin Ying, who was standing aside, felt that Ning Fan had gone too far.

It was clear that Wang Hai was willing to surrender, but Ning Fan did the opposite and acted against common sense.

"Your Majesty, the common people know that Your Majesty has great expectations for the great cause of overseas trade. The common people are not talented and have a lot of experience in navigation. In terms of shipbuilding technology, I have never seen anyone who is more proficient in this than me. people."

Wang Hai also knows that now is not the time to be humble. If he cannot prove his worth, he may not be able to get out of here alive today, so he is willing to risk it now.

Ning Fan was slightly surprised when she heard what Wang Hai said. She didn't expect that Wang Hai, who looked like an extremely shrewd businessman, was actually an expert in shipbuilding and navigation.

Ning Fan looked like he had found a treasure. He looked at Wang Hai carefully for a while and suddenly smiled: "You said you can build ships and also know how to sail?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Cao Min has been wandering on the sea with his father since he was a child. He has taken ships to Fuso and other coastal countries."

Wang Hai has a strong desire to survive. After all, the lives of his whole family are in the hands of the Jin Yiwei. Even if he wants to fight against the imperial court at this time, he doesn't have the ability.

So he simply showed his cards and explained his value nakedly, so that Ning Fan could make his own judgment.

"You just worked as a logistics officer for the pirates, responsible for sorting out the accounts, right? You have never personally stained the blood of innocent people? Yes or no?"

Ning Fan looked at Wang Hai seriously.

"Back to Your Majesty, the common people have never done anything harmful to nature. The common people only worked for the pirates because they were forced to make a living. But later, when His Majesty personally came to suppress the bandits, the common people took the initiative to surrender after taking pictures of the emperor's Tianwei. ."

If there was any hesitation in Wang Hai's answer, then Ning Fan would have reason to believe that Wang Hai was lying. However, Wang Hai was confident and answered straightforwardly without hesitation. This made Ning Fan a little more concerned about Wang Hai's previous words. Very convinced.

"Okay, I believe you. You have no serious sins yourself, and now you have taken the blame. I am exempting you from all sins. From now on, you will be a sinless person, as long as you can make contributions to the court. , it won’t be a difficult task for me to appoint you as an official when the time comes.”

Ning Fan finally showed a happy look on his face.

In fact, he just used that cold attitude to test and scare Wang Hai at the beginning. Now that Wang Hai has told all the truth, Ning Fan naturally has no need to embarrass Wang Hai anymore.

"Well, let's not worry about suppressing bandits for the time being. After all, this group of pirates are now trapped at sea and cannot cause any plunder or damage to the fishermen on the seaside. It's not a big deal to let them survive at sea for a few more days. "

Ning Fan said calmly.

Wang Hai had already seen how powerful this young emperor was. When he saw Ning Fan saying this, he didn't dare to express his anger or respond. He just stood there in a daze, waiting for Ning Fan's next step. say.

"What you have to do now is to cooperate with the Marine Design Bureau that will be established soon, help them design ocean-going ships, and teach all the knowledge you have learned in your life and your understanding of ship construction to the core members of the design bureau. This process, I only give you half a month of your time”

"In half a month, you will build a warship that can go to sea to suppress bandits. At that time, I will reward you. If the payment is successful, you will be rewarded based on your merits. There is a high probability that you will transform from a bandit to a court official. An official who honors his ancestors."

Ning Fan looked at Wang Hai calmly and said.
