More than a dozen merchant ships whose rudders were destroyed got anchored and drifted on the sea. The ship was silent and there was no one to see. Originally, the pirates on the ship were concentrated by Zuli to attack the Taiping and Changyang ships. Now, these people are either dead or become prisoners.

When they set foot on the merchant ship, the piles of wooden boxes were stacked neatly, which made everyone excited. In their eyes, it was all money.

He reached out and pulled open a box cover. The monkey let out a gentle whisper. Everyone walked forward, full of silk, and the bright silk almost dazzled everyone's eyes.

The silk of Chu State is not a luxury in the Ming Dynasty now. Because of the Dazhi of Izumo County, Geng Jingming transported a large amount of silk into the Ming Dynasty. The price of expensive silk in the past plummeted, but even so, it was not something that ordinary people could afford.

"Your Majesty, silk is not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty now, but it will be several times or even ten times the profit when transported overseas."

"So high?" Qin Feng was startled. Even the masks and perfumes that Shu Chang made were just this profit.

"That's true, the risk of maritime trade is extremely high. It has to deal with the government of our country and the plunder of pirates. It also depends on God's luck. If you are not lucky, a big storm will be enough to lose all your money. So over the years, some small maritime merchants have either gone bankrupt or depended on a large clan like Ning and Zhou in order to get a share of the pie. The wealth is not strong and they can't afford to play this at all." Zhou Li explained.

"In addition to silk, the most popular overseas are porcelain and tea. Porcelain is more profitable, but it is easy to get cargo. Therefore, among these ten ships of cargo, there are at most one or two ships of porcelain, which are mostly like silk and tea. Of course, there are also some other daily necessities, but they are just added to the bottom of the rudder."

"Let's go and take a look at every boat." Qin Feng went to patrol his spoils with great enthusiasm. As Zhou Li said, in addition to a large amount of silk and tea, there were also two ships of porcelain.

"Zhou Li, tell me, if these things are sold overseas, how much silver can you get in the end?" Qin Feng asked. When Zhou Li was in Ning's family, he could naturally estimate the value of these things.

"It's about one million taels of silver." Zhou Li pondered for a moment, and said a number, which scared Qin Feng.

After looking at Qin Feng, Zhou Li continued: "The last thing is to say is the final profit. These dozen merchant ships will be purely worth one million taels of silver in the end."

Qin Feng shivered for a moment. It seemed that there was not much cost to him. If he insisted on the cost, it would be that he would fight this battle, kill several soldiers and some injured people, which required some pensions. In addition, the Taiping and Changyang ships were shot by heavy crossbows and needed repairs. Compared with income, it was a drop in the bucket.

"Sure enough, robbery is the easiest thing to make money!" Qin Feng said with emotion.

A soldier hurriedly ran over, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there were many people found in the bottom cabin of a merchant ship, as if they were from these caravans."

"Have they been killed yet?" Qin Feng widened his eyes strangely. There were many dead bodies floating in the sea before.

"Your Majesty, those who were killed were all armed guards. These, or just some ordinary boatmen, are also property for pirates!" Zhou Li said with a smile.

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Every time there are robberies, there will be casualties, so they also need to replenish their personnel. This is one of them. Secondly, even if they do not need to replenish their personnel, they can be sold as slaves. If someone is literate and skilled, they will be worth a lot of money!" Zhou Li said.

"So that's how it is." Qin Feng said thoughtfully: "We are going to swallow this batch of goods, but now the victim has appeared. Zhou Li, what should I do?"

Zhou Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we are pirates now." The implication is very clear, so naturally it is to kill people to silence them. Kill them all, and there is no suffering master, and there is no explanation.

Qin Feng was very satisfied with Zhou Li's statement. Of course, he did not want to kill someone, but was satisfied with the position expressed by Zhou Li.

"It doesn't matter whether you kill or not. Let's go and see these people." Qin Feng said with a smile.

He didn't care about the victims or the victims. He was a real pirate and he didn't care. As the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he didn't care even more. Could it be that the Ning family of Quanzhou dared to come to the Ming Dynasty to find him for wealth? If he really dared to come, then the Ning family of Quanzhou must have been in a mess.

If you grab it, you will rob it. What do you dare?

Nearly two hundred people were driven out of the bottom cabin with their hands and feet tied up. The fresh air was breathed again and it did not make these people happy. Many people even burst into tears.

They were raised before they arrived at the destination, and there was only one possibility, that was, they were going to kill them.

At sea, killing people is as casual as killing chickens. There is not enough food and water, which is enough to make the pirates abandon them.

They were trembling and squatting on the deck by the soldiers of the Death Camp. They didn't even dare to raise their heads. They didn't even know that until now, they had changed their masters.

On this sea, if you become the prey of pirates, you can only accept your fate and have no way to escape. Life and death are the only way to fate.

Looking at these people, Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh that these people were really lucky. If they met themselves, if they didn't come, they would probably become slaves to others in a strange area. When they met themselves, they had the opportunity to return to their hometown.

"Mahou, untie their rope! Tell them that they will not die." Qin Feng whispered to Mahou beside him.

Mahou nodded, walked to the front, pulled out the knife with a choke. When the prisoners in the front row heard the sound of the knife being sheathed, they immediately collapsed on the ground and cried loudly, shouting for forgiveness.

Mahou frowned, his face full of disdain. With a cold light flashed, the rope that tied the man was cut off, and the other soldiers of the suicide camp followed suit, pulling out their swords and cutting off the ropes on these people.

The captives raised their heads in a daze. It was not until this time that they realized that the current group of people were no longer the pirates they had before. A small number of people even saw two giant ships moored in the sea not far away, and black flame flags floating above the bows of the ship.

"Zhou Li, Uncle Zhou!" A surprise suddenly sounded in the crowd, with an incredible sound. A man suddenly stood up from the ground.

Zhou Li was stunned and looked up at the man, and the man was running towards him. A guard standing beside him stretched out his legs and immediately tripped the man. The man fell heavily to the ground, but jumped up again. At the same time, several more people stood up beside the man, and actually guarded the young man heavily in the middle.

"Second Young Master!" Zhou Li's one-eye also flashed with an incredible look. "Why are you? Why did you go out to sea in person?"

"Who is this person?" Qin Feng asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, this man is the second son of Ning. In Ning, he is still in good terms with the last general." Zhou Li whispered.

"Well, come and treat him with courtesy. Don't reveal my identity. I want to hear some specific situations of Ning's family!" Qin Feng whispered.

"I understand." Zhou Li nodded repeatedly.

Qin Feng gave a wink, and Ma Hou immediately understood what Qin Feng meant, waved his hand, and the warrior who was standing beside Young Master Ning, dodging away. Young Master Ning staggered to Zhou Li, looking at him with surprise and incredible eyes.

"Uncle Zhou, I didn't expect it was you, you who saved me!" The feeling of surviving the disaster made Young Master Ning's eyes flushed a little.

"Captain Zhou, why are you? Why are you here? Are those two ships yours?" An old man following Mr. Ning looked at Zhou Li, his eyes flashing with a light of vigilance.

"Old He!" Looking at the person in front of him, Zhou Li laughed loudly, "You and the second young master are both nobles, why are you dressed up?"

The second young master Ning and Zhou Li both wore ordinary boatmen's clothes, and their faces were covered with black and black, mixed in a large group of boatmen. If they hadn't called it out deliberately, Zhou Li would have never thought that they would have mixed in.

"What should I do if I don't do this? If they know the identity of the second young master, how could the second young master still be alive?" Old He sighed.

"That's not necessarily. Zuli is not a fool. If he knew the identity of the second young master, he would probably provide for it well, so as to blackmail the master another huge redemption fee. Ning's reputation in the mainland is not obvious, but he is famous at the sea." Zhou Li looked at Lao He in confusion.

"This news cannot be transmitted back. If this news is transmitted back to the mainland, then the second young master will..." Old He suddenly stopped.

Zhou Li's eyes flashed and he stared at Lao He.

Knowing that Zhou Li, a person who has been in Ning's family for many years, Old He could only sigh again: "The master is sick. Now the family is discussing who will take charge of the Ning's ship."

Zhou Li immediately understood.

The second son of the Ning family is the youngest son of Master Ning and has always been deeply loved by Master. At least Zhou Li knew that when he was still in Ning, the master wanted to pass the position of head of the family to the second son, but the eldest son was much older than the second son. He had gone out to sea many times before and had many followers under him. When he was in Ning, the second son deliberately approached him and had the intention to win him over. But he ran away in the end.

"So that's how it is!" Zhou Li nodded in understanding.

"Zhou Li, are you now?" Lao He looked at the two warships in the distance, and the pirate ships were now lying on the sea as if they were dead.
