Ji Shan raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu with complicated emotions on his face. He never thought that he would be a pirate, but he was forced to leave his hometown and became a pirate that everyone called out to beat.

From the moment he stepped on the pirate ship, he had the realization that he could never turn back.But Xiao Yu's question directly hit the depths of his soul, is he really going to live under the knife for the rest of his life?He didn't want to, he wanted to live a stable life with his relatives on land, without being wanted by the government.

Jishan lowered his eyes: "I don't want to, but I have no other choice."

Xiao Yu said: "According to the law, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and you are no exception. But killing people does not have to pay for their lives, because there are many types of killings. Even if they kill actively, they must be sentenced according to their motives and methods. It is particularly bad. The other is accidental death, where you accidentally beat an official to death, you did not kill the man on purpose, and you have a heart of repentance, the crime does not deserve death, but you need to accept punishment, such as exile and hard labor wait."

Yoshiyama clenched his fists and pursed his lips. What is the difference between being exiled and being a pirate? It is better to be a pirate and be free.

Xiao Yu seemed to see through his thoughts: "Perhaps you think that exile is better than being a pirate, right? Being a pirate robs others and makes enemies of the world, does it really make your conscience feel better? The reason why we are Human beings have human nature. Human nature is good. Respect the elders, love the weak, be worthy of the world, and not violate conscience. If you lose your humanity, you are just a beast in human skin, and you lose the qualification to be a human being. Count as people."

Ji Shan lowered his head and said nothing.

Pei Linzhi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xiao Yu with eyes full of surprise and admiration. His Highness was so insightful into human nature.

Xiao Yu continued: "If one day you become a vicious and murderous pirate, will you still have the face to come back to meet your parents and younger siblings? You used to hate those bad guys the most, but in the end you became them Is this what you want to see?"

Ji Shan's throat slipped, he raised his head, his eyes were a little red, and he said loudly, "What do you think I can do? Are you going to arrest me and send me to jail?"

Xiao Yu looked straight into his eyes: "Have you ever killed someone?"

Ji Shan didn't speak, Xiao Yu changed his words: "Besides that official, have you killed anyone else?"

Ji Shan shook his head and sniffed his nose: "No!"

Xiao Yu said, "I won't send you to the government."

Ji Shan stood up when he heard the words: "Then I have to go."

Ji Hai and Yu'er quickly asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

Xiao Yu also said, "Stop! Where do you want to go?"

Pei Linzhi stood up, ready to stop Ji Shan from leaving at any time.

Ji Shan looked at him expressionlessly: "I am a murderer wanted by the government. If your husband doesn't send me to see the government, is it possible that he will keep me?"

Xiao Yu frowned: "Are you going to meet up with your companions now, and then go to attack the city?"

Ji Shan said: "I want to kill those dog officials and avenge my parents!"

Xiao Yu said: "There is an injustice and a debtor. Do you know who killed your mother? If you kill innocent people, can you avenge your mother?"

"No one in the government is innocent!" Jishan said viciously.

"Your words are too extreme. It is not ruled out that there are scum in the government who abuse their power and seek wealth and death, but for most people, they are just looking for a job to support a family of ordinary people. They also have conscience and Compassion. Those officers and soldiers guarding the city, like you, are also the sons of their parents and brothers and sisters, but they were conscripted to the barracks by the court. If they were in the north, they would probably go to the front to fight bloody battles with foreign enemies to defend their home and country .They were not killed by the enemy on the front line, but in the end they were killed by the people he desperately protected? Why are they guilty?" Xiao Yu pressed.

"They worked their lives for the dog officials, they should die!"

"They fight against bandits and pirates not only to protect those officials, but also to protect those unarmed civilians!" Xiao Yu did not back down.

"So don't take revenge on me?" Jishan became anxious and shouted loudly.

"Pay attention to your tone of voice!" Pei Linzhi stood in front of Ji Shan unceremoniously.

Sensing the danger, Yoshiyama subconsciously took a step back.

Xiao Yu walked to Pei Linzhi's side and said, "Of course revenge must be avenged. I said that there is an injustice and a debtor. You have to find the murderer who killed your mother instead of killing innocent people indiscriminately."

"Then where do you think I'm going to find them?"

"If you want to look for it, you can always find it. Skynet is full of details."

Ji Shan kicked the stool angrily. Finally, he had a chance to avenge his parents, but he was stopped here. He sneered: "Speaking lightly, can you find it for me?"

Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi looked at each other, Pei Linzhi said, "I can."

Jishan raised his eyes and looked at them suspiciously.Ji Hai grabbed his elder brother's hand: "Brother, you have to trust Lang Jun and Master. If they say they can, they will definitely do it. You don't know how powerful Lang Jun and Master are."

Ji Shan turned to look at his younger brother and said, "Then I will trust them once."

Xiao Yu said unceremoniously: "Don't forget, you still bear a human life on your back. No matter how vicious those officials are, they will not deserve death. No matter how vicious a person is, you are not qualified to sentence him to death, let alone Execute him, and deal with him according to the king's law."

Jishan knew he was wrong, but still turned his head to look elsewhere unconvinced.

Xiao Yu continued to ask: "Jishan, have you ever thought about redeeming your crimes?"

Jishan realized what: "You want me to betray my brother?"

"Then do you think pirates should exist?" Xiao Yu asked him.

Yoshiyama said, "If we had another choice, would we be pirates?"

Xiao Yu suddenly laughed: "Really? This is really the case, or are you making excuses for yourself? What did you think of pirates when you were not a pirate? Everyone present, are you afraid of pirates? "

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Li Zheng said, "Why not be afraid? When picking pearls, I worry about pirates coming to snatch pearls, and I also worry about them coming home to grab food."

Xiao Yu said: "When you were at home, you could still rely on your own labor to eat. Why did you become a pirate and start robbing others to make a living? Why did the government exterminate bandits and pirates? Because you threatened the lives and property of the people. Don't deny it, you are now standing on the opposite side of us, and you are also standing on the opposite side of your younger brother and sister, if you insist on being a pirate, that is the enemy of all of us."

Jishan became excited: "Is this what I want? If I had a choice, would I go this far?"

Xiao Yu said: "You have a choice, and now you have the right to choose. Tell me, where is your boat parked? How many guards are there on it?"

Ji Shan hesitated in his heart: "What do you want to do?"

Xiao Yu said: "I have a method that allows you to pay off your merits and avoid punishment from the government. You can still live with your younger siblings in the future, so you don't have to be homeless."

Jishan is still struggling: "I can't betray my brother."

"And what if your brother killed your younger sibling?"

"Impossible, I will protect them."

"Can you protect them for a while, can you protect them forever?"

Yoshiyama finally stopped talking.

Xiao Yu continued: "In the future, we will help you find out the truth about your mother and let your brothers and sisters take revenge."

Ji Hai quickly shook his elder brother's arm: "Brother, tell me quickly, you have to trust Mr. Lang, he can really do it. Yu'er and I hope you can come back."

Yu'er also begged: "Brother, come back quickly."

Jishan finally spoke: "It's parked on the beach outside the village. There are less than ten people guarding the boat."

Xiao Yu asked again: "How many people are here tonight?"

"More than 500 people."

"Dare to attack the city with more than 500 people?" Pei Linzhi thought carefully, "Did your leader find any help?"

Ji Shan shook his head: "I don't know, but our king is very thoughtful and rarely fights a battle that has no chance of winning."

Xiao Yu frowned, which means that the pirates have helpers, either insiders or helpers. Zhoucheng is in danger tonight. He said to Pei Linzhi: "Rinzhi, come here, let's discuss it."

Pei Linzhi followed him to the next hall, Xiao Yu sighed: "Rinzhi, the city is in danger. I don't know if Xue Zhao can hold it."

Pei Linzhi said: "I'm going to Zhoucheng now, and I will capture the king first while the chaos comes. I guess that gang of pirates is also a mob. Once the leader of the pirates dies, the pirates will surely flee. Maybe the siege of Yazhou can be solved."

Xiao Yu said: "If the pirates flee, the nearby villages will be devastated, and our village is the least likely to be spared."

"Then take the opportunity to catch them all at once," Pei Linzhi said.

Xiao Yu said: "I have an idea. The pirate's boat is parked outside our village, and the defense is empty. We can take the boat and transfer all the villagers to the boat. This will not only cut off the pirate's escape, And protect the villagers."

Pei Linzhi thought for a while, and then said: "This trick is feasible. The pirates retreat to the sea and there is no way to retreat, and the officers and soldiers can just catch them all. I will take people to seize the boat first, and you and Li Zheng will inform all the villagers to prepare to board the boat."

After the two discussed it, they came out to discuss with others, and Li Zheng said in amazement: "Are we going to snatch the pirate's ship?"

"Yes, I will take people there. Jishan leads the way, and Haisheng hurriedly asks some skilled people to go with me. Jihai and Erlang go door-to-door and tell everyone to gather at the seaside. They can't bring anything, at most they can only take it away. Money, try to be as fast as possible." Pei Linzhi hurriedly explained, "Hurry up, this is an escape, remember the stakes."

Xiao Yu said: "Okay, leave the rest to me, I will arrange it, you guys hurry up, be careful."

So the troops divided into two groups, Pei Linzhi took his own bow and arrow and long sword, handed the dagger to Xiao Yu for self-defense, and hurriedly left with Ji Shan and Hai Sheng.

Xiao Yu and Li Zheng went to arrange for people to go door-to-door to call the door, and they gathered under the big banyan tree at the west entrance of the village.Xiao Yu made a point of explaining, don't make any noise, try not to wake up the babies and children, so as not to cause trouble by crying.

It is not easy to wake people up in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the winter nights in Yazhou are not cold, so getting up is not so difficult, and the villagers have been harassed by thieves for a long time, so they are very vigilant, and they wake up as soon as they are called.

There are old and young people in the family, and the neighbors help each other. The old and the young gather at the west entrance of the village. The crowd only whispers and seldom makes any loud noises.

Xiao Yu stood in front of the crowd and said: "Everyone must know what happened. The pirates are here. We are going to board the ship to avoid the limelight and come back when things subside. Now everyone is holding each other's hands. Or clothes, follow Li Zheng one by one. Keep quiet and don't make any noise."

So everyone walked towards the beach in an orderly manner.Xiao Yu called Ji Hai: "Hurry up and check the situation, and see how your master is handling it."

Before Ji Hai took a few steps, someone came back in front, very fast, Xiao Yu went up to meet him: "Rinzhi?"

It was Pei Linzhi and Ji Shan who came back. Pei Linzhi said: "I have taken control of the boat, and I have dealt with all the pirates on board. Haisheng is waiting for you on the boat. After you get on board, row the boat to another place. Not too close to the shore, but not too far either. I'm going to Yazhou now."

Xiao Yu said, "How many people are you going with?"

"If it's not that I don't know the leader of the pirates, I don't even want to bring Jishan." Pei Linzhi said.

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment: "I don't think the pirate leader is a heinous person, so try not to kill him if he can."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "I will try my best."

Xiao Yu said again: "But your safety is the most important thing. Take care of Ji Shan as well."

"I will."

Ji Hai looked at his elder brother and said anxiously, "Master, I'll go with you."

Ji Shan said sternly: "What can you do? Hurry up and get on the boat."

Pei Linzhi said: "Lang Jun, I'm leaving. Take care and see you after dawn."

Xiao Yu had complicated emotions in his heart, he was sending Pei Lin to the battlefield: "Rinzhi, please be careful, I will wait for you to come back!"

Pei Linzhi suddenly raised his hand and touched Xiao Yu's face: "Don't worry, wait for me to come back." He turned and left resolutely.

Xiao Yu didn't even have time to be surprised when he touched his face, he watched his blurry figure completely disappear into the darkness with some sense of loss, the uneasiness in his heart gradually magnified, and he prayed silently in his heart: Rinzhi, you must have nothing to do.
