Chapter 563 Chapter 576: Japanese pirate lair
Don’t rush to write the memorial, let’s convict Liang Wenyou and Han Jin first. Although Han Jin is dead, his crime is too great, bigger than Liang Wenyou’s. His family will definitely be implicated, so there is still a conviction necessary.

Next, many people went to the court to express their grievances and sued Liang Wenyou, Liang Ping and Han Jin. Others made accusations, sent them to prison, and then embezzled their family property; for example, Liang Ping broke the legs of his old father in order to snatch other people's daughters. Some of them were the work of the bullies under their command. Just as Ye Mengqiu and Situ Feng came back to report, they had taken all three bully lairs in Hangzhou, and captured more than 220 people in total.

Li Hao sent those hooligans to the hall for interrogation one by one. Li Hao tried the case very quickly because he used the trial mode of the future world, where the plaintiff would sue and provide evidence for the defendant to defend himself. Conviction, never procrastinate.

In less than an hour, the trial of the case was almost over. Liang Wenyou and Han Jin were the chief culprits, and they were charged with more than 20 crimes. , There are more than a dozen charges, but he is not an official after all, and there are no political charges. The biggest charge is murder, which is enough to be executed.

After drawing the bet, Liang Wenyou and Liang Ping and his son knew that they were going to die this time, and they knelt there with ashen faces, their expressions a little dull. Li Hao slowly walked in front of them, looked at Liang Wenyou, his face full of dignity He asked, "Liang Wenyou, I heard that you were born as a Jinshi and received admonitions from saints. Why did you come to this point?"

Liang Wenyou trembled when he heard the words. He raised his head and stared at Li Hao for a long time. Two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, and he wailed sadly: "The student is wrong, the student is wrong, the embankment of a thousand miles! Collapsed in an ant's nest! Collapsed in an ant's den Ah... woo woo woo..."

Li Hao paced slowly with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "It's easy to stay in poverty, but it's difficult to stay in poverty for a lifetime. The way to be an official doesn't care how much talent you have, but whether you have a sincere heart, this sincere heart , You must be loyal to the country, loyal to the people, and be willing to be poor. The power given to you by the imperial court is to let you benefit the people, not to harm the people. Take one step, and you will not be far away from the abyss of eternal doom, these words of this king are not only for you, but also for everyone present, including the people who are outside the court for trial."

The common people were very surprised when they heard the words. What Li Hao said was the reason for being an official. They are just ordinary people, so what can they have to do with them.

Just listen to Li Hao continuing: "Now Your Majesty is spreading his voice, promoting the imperial examination, and the lives of the people are getting better and better. More and more children have the opportunity to go to school and participate in the imperial examination. Maybe the children of some people who are here today , that is, the future ministers of the court, who can be officials in the same dynasty as the king, or on the side of the state shepherd. I hope that everyone can remember the truth that the king just said, and educate your children and grandchildren, so as not to end up like Liang Wenyou in the future .”

All the people nodded their heads when they heard the words. They felt that what Li Hao said was right, and they all secretly praised Li Hao. He really is a generation of heroic officials.

The next step is to put Liang Wenyou and those local tyrants who have committed the most crimes into prison, and then send people to search the property of those tyrants. Li Hao himself is responsible for writing the memorial and sending it back to Chang'an.

After dealing with a series of things, it was late in the evening, and Yuan Tiangang finally arrived. However, the origin of Yuan Tiangang was unknown, so it was not appropriate to show up. He could only hide in the wilderness on the east bank of the canal. Li Hao sent Li Guocheng to contact Yuan Tiangang, borrowing He had two Galen boats, and Yuan Tiangang took people on board overnight.Li Hao's 5000 troops also changed into Galen ships. Li Hao's fleet entered the sea first and headed for Zhoushan.

With the wind tonight, Galen's boat sailed extremely fast, approaching the Zhoushan Islands in only three hours. Li Hao stood on the side of the boat and looked around with binoculars, and found that there were several islands in the sea area within a dozen miles ahead. There was no one on the island, so he turned around and asked Otsuka Yuo: "Is this here?"

Yuo Otsuka nodded again and again: "Yes, this is the direction, but...it's too dark now, and I don't know where to go."

Li Hao smiled coldly and said, "It's okay, I can give you some blood to remind you where to go." After he finished speaking, he pulled out the small dagger in his boots, grabbed Otsuka Yunan's ear and prepared cut it off.

Otsuka Yuo screamed in horror, "Please, it's too dark, I really don't know where to go..."

"really do not know?"

"I really don't know, please, trust me." Yuo Otsuka begged bitterly, almost crying in fright.

Li Hao let go of his ears, put away the dagger, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have always believed in you. Just now, I just made a joke with you. Don't take it to heart."

Seeing his smile, Otsuka Yuo couldn't help trembling all over his body. He felt that the young man in front of him was too scary, and he would cut himself with a knife if he disagreed with him, but the next moment he was smiling again, it was so cloudy and uncertain, and Like a smiling tiger, he couldn't figure out his thoughts at all. He didn't believe that Li Hao was joking just now.

In fact, Li Hao also knows that in ancient times, when sailing on the sea, one must first figure out the direction, otherwise it will be absolutely dead. During the day, the sun can be used to identify the direction, but at night, the most common method is to look at the stars. The Polaris and the Big Dipper are the best for the ancients to identify the direction. Coordinates, but tonight there are a lot of dark clouds in the sky, the moon is very hazy, and the stars are naturally invisible, but it doesn't matter, Li Hao has a compass.

He took out his compass and looked at it, pointed to the south, and said, "This direction is south." Then he pointed to three directions respectively, and said, "There is an island twelve miles away from this direction, and fifteen miles away from this direction." There is a bigger island, and thirteen miles in this direction, there is the smallest island."

After finishing speaking, he took out a map from his words, folded it, and showed the Zhoushan Islands in front of Otsuka Yuo, saying: "According to the positions of the three islands just now, we can confirm that we are here now, what next? Come on, you should know this time, right?"

Yuo Otsuka was a little stunned for a while, he was startled by Li Hao, he can recognize the direction at night is already very good, what's more, he can see the island more than ten miles away, which makes him feel unbelievable. There is the map of Li Hao, which is drawn in too much detail, he is in admiration besides admiration.

"Speak!" Li Hao suddenly raised his voice.

"Yes yes yes." Yuo Otsuka hurriedly responded, stared at the map for a moment, pointed with his finger, and said, "Master Xintiao should be on this big island, but there are also people on the two islands on both sides."

"Oh? How many?" Li Hao asked.

"The island on the left has about 2000 people, and the one on the left has 500 people."

Li Hao nodded, and said loudly: "Feiying, send an order, turn right 20°."

"Yes!" Feiying hurried to the helmsman to convey the order.

Soon, Li Hao's mast and sail moved slowly, turned 20° to the east, and the course changed immediately, and the ships behind followed closely behind.

Soon, Li Hao and the others passed through many reefs and islands. Fortunately, Li Hao had night vision binoculars, otherwise their boat would most likely run aground.

After a while, Li Hao picked up the binoculars and looked at it, exclaiming in surprise: "Finally found it."

Through the binoculars, he could see a very large island in front of him. There was a simple palace in the middle of the forest. Although simple, it was very large, and there were many wooden houses around. The aborigines' houses we visited, but the style of the houses is not the same.

There are also many houses on the small islands on both sides. They are hidden in the forest, and there are sentry posts on the coast. Li Hao ordered the anchor to stop the boat, but did not furl the sails. Then he took a small boat to the boat where Yuan Tiangang was.

Seeing Li Hao's arrival, Yuan Tiangang jumped onto Li Hao's boat and asked, "How, have you found the Japanese pirate's lair?"

"Yeah." Li Hao nodded, and pointed to the east: "Ten miles ahead is the lair of Japanese pirates. On the left and right sides, there are two small islands with more than 2000 Japanese pirates on each. It is three o'clock in the morning. I suggest that we split up. Let’s go out and deal with the Japanese pirates on the small island first, and it will end around five o’clock in the morning, when the sky is slightly bright, how about we work together to wipe out the Japanese pirates on the main island?”

"Yes." Yuan Tiangang nodded.

Since Yuan Tiangang had no objection, they were in a hurry again. Yuan Tiangang returned to the big ship, and Li Hao also returned to his own big ship in a small boat, and ordered to attack. All the ships lifted anchor and attacked the small island.

More than a dozen galleons approached the island silently. The lush island looks like a giant sea monster, which looks eerie and terrifying under the dim moonlight. However, Li Hao is very excited. This is not a giant monster. It's a behemoth.

"Be careful, everyone, there are Japanese pirate guards by the sea." Li Hao reminded everyone, and at the same time untied his strong bow, staring at the port at any time.

Landing from here is the fastest way, although it is possible to be discovered, but the soldiers are very fast, he must take this island before dawn, there is no time to detour.

As soon as the boat approached the shore, the Japanese pirates from the two watchtowers on the harbor shouted loudly. They picked up the conch horn and prepared to blow it. Li Hao bent his bow and set his arrows, shooting two arrows in one go. The interval between the two arrows was no more than three seconds. , the Japanese pirates on the two watchtowers were killed by arrows, and the conch horn naturally failed to sound.

Seeing this, more than a dozen Japanese pirates fled back one after another. Li Hao shot and killed seven people in a row. The distance was too far to catch up. However, the boat had landed and everyone began to land one after another.

"Quick! Quick battle and quick decision!" Li Hao shouted, put away his bow and arrow, put on a quick crossbow, and rushed to the front with two hundred special forces.

The terrain here is not complicated. Li Hao knew the direction of the Japanese pirates, so he led the special forces and ran all the way. Soon, they caught up with the escaped Japanese pirates. These Japanese pirates were very short, so naturally they couldn't run fast. Two miles away, they were overtaken so quickly. Seeing Li Hao and the others chasing after them, the Japanese pirates screamed in despair, but it was a bit far from the Japanese pirates' residence, so they couldn't hear them.

"Whoosh, whoosh..." The arrows flew, and the Japanese pirates fell to the ground one after another, and the whole forest fell silent.

"This way!" Li Hao snarled and led the way ahead. He was very excited at the moment. He was not a war madman, but he was very keen on killing Japanese pirates.
