Zheng Chenggong first asked irrelevant people to leave the deck, and then slowly asked: "What are you doing in Liaodong?"
Shi Xian lowered his head and replied, "To be honest, sir, we are here to smuggle."
"Smuggling to the Jiannu?"
"yes."
"When did it start?"
"Go...last year."
"Oh, last year?" Zheng Chenggong snorted coldly, "You still don't tell the truth even now. It seems you don't repent. Come on, throw them both into the sea to feed the fish."
The nearby soldiers rushed forward, grabbed Shi Xian and Zeng De, and pushed them to the side of the ship.
Seeing that Zheng Chenggong was serious about it, the two of them suddenly panicked.
Zeng De hurriedly explained: "Please spare us, sir, we will tell the truth."
"Okay," Zheng Chenggong waved his hand, and the soldiers pushed the two of them back.
"Go ahead." Zheng Chenggong put his hands behind his back.
"We have been smuggling to the Jiannu for about five or six years." Zeng De said with his head down, glancing at Zheng Chenggong out of the corner of his eye, fearing that he would lose his life for saying the wrong thing.
"I don't want an approximate time. I want the specific time." Zheng Chenggong asked with a gloomy face.
Zeng De joined relatively late and didn't know much.
So he could only look at Shi Xian.
Shi Xian thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "It will start from the eighteenth year of my reign."
"The smuggling lasted for seven years!" Zheng Chenggong clenched his fists and wanted to hit someone.
Fortunately, he still had some sense and did not swing his fists.
After calming down, he continued to ask: "Is it just smuggling? Didn't you do anything else?"
"And... we're still helping the Jiannu to guard the port!" Shi Xian's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Looking for death!" Zheng Chenggong began to burn with anger.
Looking at the fist coming towards him, Shi Xian took the opportunity to kowtow to avoid it.
Before Zheng Chenggong could raise his fist again, he immediately explained: "Sir, we have never sent troops to help the Jiannu before. This is the first time."
"Bullshit!" Zheng Chenggong, who was dressed in a refined manner, kicked Shi Xian and yelled, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?"
Shi Xian, who was kicked to the ground, quickly got up and knelt again, saying, "Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone else."
Zheng Chenggong no longer wanted to waste time on this issue, so he took a deep breath.
After a moment, he asked in a very serious tone: "Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this."
Shi Xian and Zeng De looked at each other and said nothing.
How to say it?
It is said that the mastermind behind this is his father Zheng Zhilong?
What would Zheng Chenggong think after hearing this?
Do you believe them? Or do you think they are framing you?
Obviously the latter is more likely.
If you don't tell it, you may still have a chance to survive, but if you tell it, you will surely die.
Seeing that the two remained silent, Zheng Chenggong became furious and said, "Come here, throw them into the sea."
here we go again!
Shi Xian and Zeng De looked at each other and saw fear and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Zende was the first to be lifted up by four soldiers.
Just when Zeng De thought Zheng Chenggong would ask for the last time, Zheng Chenggong turned his back and waved his hand.
Four soldiers simultaneously exerted force and threw him off the boat.
With a splash, he fell into the freezing cold sea water.
Zende quickly surfaced and shouted for help.
Zheng Chenggong pretended not to hear, looked at Shi Xian again and asked: "Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?"
"Yes... yes... yes..." Shi Xian said three yeses in a row but didn't dare to say the name.
Zheng Chenggong had lost his patience. He waved his hand and said, "Throw it down!"
"Sir, let me tell you!" Shi Xian was in a hurry and didn't care about anything else. "I'll tell you right away."
He has seen this through.
If you don’t tell, you will die, but if you tell, there might be a glimmer of hope.
"Go ahead."
Shi Xian replied in a very low voice: "It was the general who asked us to do this."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and waited for fate to come.
After getting this answer.
Zheng Chenggong was not surprised, shocked, or angry.
Because he confirmed his guess.
"You ungrateful person actually slandered the general, take this kick from me!" Hong Xu kicked Shi Xian.
"It's definitely not slander!" Shi Xian's nose and tears flowed down together: "Without the order from the general, how could these soldiers follow us here!"
All those present were military generals, and they were very familiar with troop deployment.
They knew that Shi Xian was telling the truth.
Since it is the truth, it indirectly proves that Zheng Zhilong is the mastermind behind the scenes.
When they thought of this, everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Zheng Chenggong didn't say anything either, he was very calm.
So calm that people around began to feel scared.
"Sir," Hong Xu pointed at Zeng De in the sea water and said, "Zeng De is still in the water."
"Don't worry about him!" Zheng Chenggong said, "Surrogate to the enemy is a capital crime. Letting him drown is already a mercy."
Under the gaze of everyone.
Zeng De was first frozen to death by the icy sea water, and then swallowed by the dark sea.
Without waiting for everyone to sigh, Zheng Chenggong looked at Shi Xian.
Shi Xian was completely dumbfounded.
He was not only afraid of death, but also afraid of being thrown into the sea and freezing to death or drowning.
"Please spare my life, sir! Everything I said is true!" Shi Xian said crying.
It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but after he said it, Zheng Chenggong's murderous intent increased sharply.
Zheng Chenggong had already made up his mind to kill all those involved in this incident.
"Throw it down!" Zheng Chenggong ordered without hesitation.
With a splash, Shi Xian was also thrown into the sea.
