Myanmar.

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

Since fleeing from Calcutta, they have eaten and slept all the way, and finally arrived at the small fishing village mentioned by Liu Qing after thirteen days.

"Liu Qing, it's up to you now, as long as you can successfully return to the UK, I will definitely let the Queen of England reward you as a nobleman, and at the same time give you ten thousand taels of silver as a reward."

At this time, everyone is hiding in the woods on the side of the mountain path, and they can see the small fishing village on the beach.

This small fishing village is not large, with only about 30 households, and the small fishing village seems peaceful and cozy, as if it is a paradise.

A hint of undetectable mockery flashed in Liu Qing's eyes, but his expression looked respectful and humble, and he said respectfully: "This is what I should have done, this small fishing village is the place where Ma Hai temporarily rests, it seems that they didn't go to sea today, we are very lucky." “

Cao Zhengtong was still a little worried, they were facing pirates, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no way out, they would never follow Liu Qing to take this risk.

He asked again, "Liu Qing, is your friend really reliable?" ”

"There's no going wrong." Liu Qing patted his chest, and he said, "Let's go, if the imperial army catches up, none of us can escape." ”

With that, he walked straight along the path to the village, and the others immediately followed Liu Qing down the mountain when they saw this.

Cao Kun and Cao Zhengtong glanced at each other, and now they were also desperate, gritting their teeth, the two still followed Liu Qing into the fishing village.

"Liu Qing, why are you here?"

The people in the fishing village were already busy, but when they saw a wave of people coming over, they stopped what they were doing. ’

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the house, and when he saw Liu Qing, he looked very surprised, and shouted loudly.

"Brother Ma!" Liu Qing also smiled happily and arched his hand to Ma Hai.

Seeing the acquaintance of the two, Cao Kun felt a little relieved, and at this time, he looked around carefully and found nothing unusual, and he was even more relieved.

The others were also happy, they had been worried day and night all the way, and now that they saw the hope of escaping, they were naturally in good spirits.

Liu Qing and the middle-aged man talked for a while, and then pointed to Cao Kun and his party and said something, the middle-aged man understood, and said at this time: "Since it is Liu Qing's friend is my friend of Ma Hai, the matter of going to sea is simple, you might as well follow me to the room to eat and drink enough before going on the road, but this escape requires a lot of silver, at least one thousand taels per person." ”

When Cao Kun heard this, he was convinced, this Mahai lion opened his mouth, but he was explaining his true character as a robber, and if he didn't want money, he would be suspicious.

"That's a lot of work, brother." Cao Kun smiled lightly, "As long as Brother Ma helps us get out of trouble, I can afford to pay more silver." “

"Okay, refreshed!" Ma Hai shouted, pointed to the house beside him, and said, "Come, come, come, we'll leave after eating." ”

Everyone was already hungry, so there was a polite reason, and the father and son of the Cao family followed Liu Qing and Ma Hai into the room.

It's just that as soon as the curtain of the windproof door of the room was opened, the faces of the two of them suddenly turned blue, because what was in front of them was not wine and food, but black muzzles.

"Cao thief! You didn't expect it to fall into my hands today. "In the center of the room sat Yue Yun.

At the same time, a large number of Imperial soldiers rushed out from other rooms on the beach and surrounded Cao Kun and his party.

"Liu Qing! You! Cao Kun said incredulously.

Glancing at Cao Kun with contempt, Liu Qing said, "Cao Kun, do you think the empire will indulge you in stirring up trouble at home? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, on the first day you came to India, our secret guards had their eyes on you. ”

Cao Kun had an expression of disbelief, and he said urgently: "Imperial Admiral Yue Yun personally took action to arrest me, if it was impossible to premeditate in advance, how did you deliver the news?" ”

The reason why he believed Liu Qing was because Liu Qing, like everyone else, had never behaved strangely.

But now everything turned his perception upside down.

"It's just to tell you, and you won't understand." Liu Qing laughed.

Yue Yun sneered, and he said to the soldiers who were ambushed in the house, "Arrest them all." ”

After receiving the order, if the tiger-wolf-like soldiers quickly rushed into the crowd, the remnants of the Hao clan who followed Cao Kun would be controlled.

"General, there is a roster in Cao Kun's salute, which records the chess pieces buried in the empire by the merchant council, and the people he arranged during this time." Liu Qing did not forget the most important thing.

Yue Yun took the salute off Cao Kun's body and poured out all the contents inside, and sure enough, a booklet fell down.

Picking up the booklet and flipping through it, Yue Yun's face changed greatly, there are many names here that he is very familiar with, they are all people from officialdom, if this booklet is submitted, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm.

"Cao Kun, you have been scheming all these years, hmph, it's a pity that everything has ended here." Yue Yun put away the roster, "I will personally escort you to Qingzhou, and at the same time hand over this roster to the emperor!" ”

When Cao Zhengtong heard this, his legs were so frightened that his legs weakened, and the whole person knelt on the ground, and Cao Kun's face was also 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 lightly, and he said to everyone: "Everyone must keep their mouths shut about this matter, and they must not leak any news about Cao Kun's capture, so as not to startle the snake." ”

"Yes, General." Everyone said in unison.

Nodding slightly, Yue Yun ordered people to light a bonfire, their battleship was moored far away in the sea, as long as the signal was given, the battleship would come.

Escorting Cao Kun and his party, who were crying for his father and mother, Yue Yun went directly to Qingzhou after the arrival of the battleship, this matter was too serious for him to have any ambiguity.

Seven days later.

Yue Yun's warship arrived in Qingzhou, and on the train of the same day, Cao Kun and his son were escorted to Qingzhou, and along the way, in order to prevent the Cao family father and son from being recognized, the two were covered with black cloth.

After arriving in Qingzhou, Yue Yun did not hand over the two of them directly to the guard station, and now he couldn't trust any officials.

Because if the news of the arrest of the Cao family father and son spread, those people on the list would inevitably flee early, and it was extremely difficult to prevent them from fleeing at the moment, and he could not take this risk.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Qingzhou, he went directly to the imperial city and asked to meet the emperor.

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

"Isn't this General Yue? Aren't you fighting a war in the South Seas? How did this end up in Qingzhou? Who's behind you?"

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Ge Yiren poked his head out and asked with a smile, he and Renhe had just finished a lecture in a Confucian hall and were about to go back, but they didn't expect to bump into Yue Yun, who was escorting the prisoner, and couldn't help asking.

Also with Ge Yiren was Renhe, his gaze swept over the two behind Yue Yun, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
