Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1103

[Chapter 1093 Traitor]

Myanmar.

Cao Kun looked at the pirate ship anchored on the sea and breathed a sigh of relief.

Since escaping from Calcutta, they have been sleeping and sleeping all the way, and after thirteen days they finally arrived at the small fishing village Liu Qing mentioned.

“Liu Qing, it’s all up to you now. As long as you can let us return to England successfully, I will definitely let the Queen of England confer you a noble title and give you ten thousand taels of silver as a reward.”

At this time, everyone is hiding in the mountains. In the woods on one side of the trail, from a high position, they could see the small fishing village on the beach.

This small fishing village is not big, with only about thirty households. The small fishing village looks peaceful and comfortable, as if it is a paradise.

A trace of undetectable sarcasm flashed in Liu Qing’s eyes, but his expression looked respectful and humble. He said respectfully: “This is what I should have done. This small fishing village is where Ma Hai temporarily rests. It seems that today We are lucky that they did not go to sea. “

Cao Zhengtong is still a little worried. They are facing pirates. If they had no way out, they would never take this risk with Liu Qing.

He asked again: “Liu Qing, is this friend of yours really reliable?”

“It can’t be wrong.” Liu Qing patted his chest and said, “Let’s go quickly. If the imperial army catches up, none of us can run away.” Drop it.”

After that, he walked straight out of the village along the path. When the others saw this, they immediately followed Liu Qing down the mountain.

Cao Kun and Cao Zhengtong looked at each other. Now they were desperate. They gritted their teeth and followed Liu Qing into the fishing village.

“Liu Qing, why are you here?”

The people in the fishing village were busy, but when they saw a wave of people approaching, they stopped what they were doing. ‘

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the house. He was very surprised to see Liu Qing and shouted loudly.

“Brother Ma!” Liu Qing also smiled happily and extended her hand to Ma Hai.

Seeing the familiarity between the two, Cao Kun felt a little relieved. At this time, he carefully looked around and found nothing unusual, which made him even more relieved.

Others also became happy. They had been worried day and night along the way. Now that they saw the hope of escape, they were naturally in high spirits.

Liu Qing talked to the middle-aged man for a while, and then pointed to Cao Kun and his party and said something. The middle-aged man understood clearly and said at this time: “Since you are Liu Qing’s friend, you are my Ma Hai’s friend. Going to sea is a matter of course.” The matter is simple, you may as well come with me to the room to eat and drink before setting out on the road, but this escape requires a lot of money, at least one thousand taels per person.” When

Cao Kun heard this, he was convinced that this Ma Hai. When the lion opened his mouth, he showed his true nature as a robber. If he didn’t want money, he would be suspicious.

“This will save Brother Ma a lot of trouble.” Cao Kun said with a smile, “As long as Brother Ma helps us get out of trouble, I can afford no matter how much money we have.”

“Okay, cool!” Ma Hai shouted, pointing to himself The house on the side said: “Come, come, come, let’s go after having a drink.”

Everyone was already hungry, so there was a reason to be polite. The Cao family and his son followed Liu Qing and Ma Hai into the room.

But as soon as the windproof door curtain of the room was opened, the two men’s faces suddenly became livid, because what they saw in front of them was not wine and delicacies, but black holes of gun muzzles.

“Thief Cao! You didn’t expect that you would fall into my hands today.” Sitting in the center of the room was Yue Yun.

At the same time, many imperial soldiers rushed out from other rooms on the beach and surrounded Cao Kun and his party.

“Liu Qing! You!” Cao Kun said in disbelief.

Looking at Cao Kun with disdain, Liu Qing said: “Cao Kun, do you think the empire will allow you to stir up trouble in the country? I am not afraid to tell you the truth. On the first day you came to India, our secret guards targeted you. You.”

Cao Kun looked in disbelief and said urgently: “The Imperial Navy Admiral Yue Yun personally took action to arrest me. It is impossible without advance planning. How did you pass on the news?”

Why did he believe it ?

Liu Qing is because Liu Qing, like everyone else, has never behaved strangely.

But everything now overturned his understanding.

“Even if I tell you this, you won’t understand.” Liu Qing laughed.

Yue Yun sneered again and again, and said to the soldiers who were ambushing in the house: “Catch them all.”

After receiving the order, if the soldiers like tigers and wolves quickly rushed into the crowd, the remnants of the wealthy family who followed Cao Kun were all controlled.

“General, there is a roster in Cao Kun’s salute, which records the chess pieces buried by the merchant council in the empire, as well as the people he arranged during this period.” Liu Qing did not forget the most important thing.

Yue Yun took off the salute from Cao Kun and poured out all the contents. Sure enough, a booklet fell down.

After picking up the book and flipping through it, Yue Yun’s expression changed drastically. There were many names here that he was familiar with. They were all officials. If this book was presented, it would definitely cause a bloody storm.

“Cao Kun, you have been working hard over the years, but it’s a pity that everything has come to an end here.” Yue Yun collected the list, “I will personally escort you to Qingzhou, and at the same time hand over this list to the emperor!”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengtong was so frightened that his legs weakened and he knelt on the ground. Cao Kun also turned pale.

He knew what he would encounter when he returned to Qingzhou.

“What a pity.” Cao Kun closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Yue Yun snorted softly and said to everyone: “Everyone must keep their mouths shut about this matter and not leak any news about Cao Kun’s capture, so as not to alert the enemy.”

“Yes, general.” Everyone agreed. said the voice.

With a slight nod, Yue Yun ordered his men to light a bonfire. Their warship was moored far away on the sea. As long as a signal was sent, the warship would come.

Escorting Cao Kun and his party who were crying for their father and mother, Yue Yun went directly to Qingzhou after the battleship arrived. For him, this matter was too serious and there could be no ambiguity.

Seven days later.

Yue Yun’s warship arrived in Qingzhou and took the train that day. Cao Kun and his son were escorted to Qingzhou. Along the way, in order to prevent the Cao family and his son from being recognized, their faces were covered with black cloth.

After arriving in Qingzhou, Yue Yun did not hand the two of them directly to the security station. Now he could not trust any officials.

Because if the news of the arrest of the Cao family and his son spreads, those people on the list will inevitably flee early. It is extremely difficult to prevent them from fleeing at present, and he cannot take this risk.

Therefore, upon arriving in Qingzhou, he went directly to the imperial city and asked to meet the emperor.

But halfway through, his path was suddenly blocked by a carriage.

“Isn’t this General Yue? Aren’t you fighting in Nanyang? Why are you here in Qingzhou? Who is behind you?”

The curtain of the carriage opened, Ge Yiren stuck his head out and asked with a smile, he and Ren He Gang After giving lectures in a Confucian school and preparing to go back, he unexpectedly bumped into Yue Yun who was escorting prisoners and couldn’t help but ask.

Also with Ge Yiren was Renhe. His eyes swept across the two people behind Yue Yun, and his expression suddenly changed.
