Ang Lee's approach was already benevolent enough. As long as these pirates could provide him with effective help, he could pardon their crimes. Even the crime of suddenly escaping this time could be forgiven, as long as these guys could provide some very important information that Ang Lee did not know. Of course, this information had to be true and effective, and could not be fabricated by the pirates themselves. Otherwise, it would be an additional crime. Ang Lee had enough means to verify the authenticity of the information. If the pirates wanted to deceive Ang Lee, they would be courting death.
These pirates might have known that their chances of escaping were slim. After being captured, they immediately divulged a lot of useful information. Li An didn't know about this information, but as long as he spent some time to verify it, he would be able to figure out whether this information was true or false. This wasn't too difficult.
Under the strong pressure, several escaped pirates gave in. Even Black Tiger's confidant had no choice but to confess.
"What? You were sent by Black Tiger to monitor Black Wolf? Why? Aren't they all pirates? Why do they use these methods against each other?"
Ang Lee knew that Black Tiger had designs on Black Wolf. He had some doubts in his heart, so he opened his mouth to confirm.
"Ordinary brothers will compete for family property. Pirates will naturally scheme against each other. This doesn't seem strange."
The pirate said.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "You're right. However, how do you make this official believe what you said? It won't work just based on your one-sided words. "
Black Tiger's spy said, "I know the situation of Black Tiger Island and even the entire Black Tiger Sea Area very well. I also know everything about Black Tiger. At least half of these can be investigated."
Ang Lee nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good, very good. This official will investigate everything you said. If it is true, this official will pardon all your crimes. At the same time, I will give you some good rewards. Of course, you will continue to work for this official in the future. When I need your help, this official will let you know."
Black Tiger's spy said a lot about the situation on Black Tiger Island. Many of these situations were easy to investigate. As long as they investigated these easily investigated situations, they could roughly understand whether this guy was telling the truth or not. Moreover, after investigating these situations, they would have a higher understanding of the situation on Black Tiger Island. Next, they could launch targeted operations on Black Tiger Island.
Black Tiger Island was in the south of the entire Black Dragon Sea Area, while Black Wolf Island was in the north. One was in the south and the other was in the north. They were the furthest apart. Black Tiger's idea of attacking Black Wolf Island was difficult to arouse suspicion. After all, there was still Black Dragon Island in the middle. It would be difficult to control it. It was because others didn't think of it that he did this. In addition, among all the forces, Black Wolf Island had always been the weakest and the easiest to deal with.
After interrogating Black Tiger's spy, the other pirates who tried to escape were also interrogated a lot of new information. These pirates were actually spies sent by other pirate leaders. Even the Black Dragon had sent people to Black Wolf Island. This made Ang Lee very surprised.
"You were sent by the Black Panther. Why? Is the Black Panther also interested in Black Wolf Island?"
Ang Lee asked.
"I'm not sure. Our King didn't ask me to do anything. He just asked me to stay on Black Wolf Island and inform him if anything happens."
The pirate replied.
"Oh, it's that simple. What does the Black Panther mean by this? Don't try to brush me off. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I don't mind throwing you into the sea to feed the fishes. "
Ang Lee said.
The pirate said, "He really just asked me to keep an eye on Black Wolf Island. Maybe the King has other plans! I really don't know what he wants. I'm not the King's confidant. I'm just a small character. It's true. It's absolutely true. "
Ang Lee couldn't be sure if this pirate was telling the truth. However, it didn't seem to be important. Whether this pirate was telling the truth or not, it was enough to confirm that he was sent by the Black Panther.
"You two were sent by the Black Dog. What are the Black Dog's plans?"
Ang Lee looked at the two pirates and asked.
"Our King Black Dog doesn't have any plans. Moreover, King Black Wolf also knows that the two of us are his men. This way, it's convenient for the two Kings to contact each other. The two of us are actually messengers. If anything happens, the two of us will report it immediately."
One of the pirates said.
The other pirate continued, "Yes, Sir. The two of us are messengers to the two Kings. The reason we want to escape this time is to send a message to King Black Dog so that he can be prepared and escape from the Black Dog Island as soon as possible. After all, we also know that the King can't defeat the soldiers with his little strength. We are indebted to the King, so we naturally have to think for the King."
"Heh, you thieves actually have a heart of gratitude and righteousness. How incredible! Then you think that being thieves is right. "
Chen Long asked with a cold smile.
One of the pirates said, "Sir, please calm down. We know we were wrong. We know we were wrong. We can redeem ourselves by doing meritorious deeds and persuade our King Black Dog to surrender. I believe that King Black Dog will definitely submit."
"Yes! Yes! Our King Black Dog will definitely submit to the Imperial Court. "
Another pirate said.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "Then what if you escape with your King? If that's the case, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain? "
"Then what does Sir want us to do? As long as we know how, we will definitely do it."
One of the pirates said.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "That's more like it. Since you're in charge of messengers, you're naturally more familiar with the situation in the Black Dog Island. Tell me! What's the situation in the Black Dog Island? If you tell me well, I'll reward you. If you don't, I don't mind throwing you into the sea to feed the fish. "
"Yes, we'll tell you. We'll tell you everything. We'll tell you everything we know."
The two pirates hurriedly expressed their gratitude. Then, they really did tell Li An everything they knew. Li An was very satisfied with this.
It didn't take long for Ang Lee to have a basic understanding of the situation in the Black Tiger, Black Panther, and Black Dog Islands. Understanding these situations was very important for occupying these three areas.
Finally, there was a pirate who escaped. He was sent by the Black Dragon. This guy was also in charge of messengers. The Black Dragon gave him the task to stay on Black Wolf Island. As long as there was nothing special, he was not allowed to go back. If something special happened, he was to immediately send a message back so that the Black Dragon could know what happened on Black Wolf Island immediately.
Through this series of investigations, Ang Lee had already understood that the relationship between the pirate kings in the Black Dragon Sea was not very good. Some even had the idea of annexing other pirate kings. At least, they were on guard against each other and there was no trust between them.
The most excessive was naturally the Black Tiger. This guy actually had the idea of annexing the Black Wolf Sea. Unfortunately, he was one step too late. Ang Lee had already occupied Black Wolf Island. The Black Tiger had no chance. Not only did he not have the chance to annex Black Wolf Island, but at the same time, he was about to face the fate of being besieged by the soldiers.
After interrogating all the pirates who tried to escape, Li An appeared to be somewhat tired, but he was very happy in his heart. At the very least, he had figured out a lot of the situation in the Black Dragon Sea Area, which was very important in completely eliminating the pirates here.
"Assistant Minister Li, I think we might as well beat them at their own game. Lure the pirates to Black Wolf Island and then wipe them out. This idea is not bad, right?"
Chen Long looked at Ang Lee and said.
Ang Lee smiled and asked seriously, "Beat them at their own game? How do we beat them at their own game? Tell me the details."
Chen Long thought for a moment and said, "The details are like this. First, we send someone to inform the Black Tiger that the armed clipper ship has begun construction. Let him send someone to send a deposit first. This way, he will definitely send those people from before to meet with the spy. Then, we will let the spy who has already submitted to us meet these people and tell him the fake news that Black Wolf Island is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. This will make the Black Tiger greedy. If the Black Tiger really sneaks people to attack Black Wolf Island, we can definitely catch him like a turtle in a jar."
"Oh, that sounds pretty good. Let's tell the Black Tiger that when Black Wolf and many of his brothers went out to rob, they were all injured and many of his brothers were killed. As a last resort, they recruited a group of people to build defensive towers on the island to strengthen the island's defense. In fact, they just don't have enough manpower, hahaha! This is really a good idea! "
Ang Lee said with a smile.
Chen Long quickly nodded and said, "Assistant Minister Li, I'll arrange it right away. First, send someone to see the Black Tiger and ask him to prepare the deposit for the shipbuilding."
Soon, under Chen Long's arrangement, two surrendered pirates and four soldiers of the Tang dynasty boarded a small fishing boat and headed to the Black Tiger Island. They went around the Black Dragon Island and were not stopped. After all, the ship hung a sign to prove that they were on the same side. The patrol ships near the Black Dragon Island naturally would not stop their own ships.
Soon, the small fishing boat arrived at the Black Tiger Island. Three people disembarked from the boat and went to see the confidant of the Black Tiger.
"My Lord, Green Dog from Black Wolf Island sent someone to deliver a letter. He wants us to send the deposit for the clipper ship over first. What do you think?"
After the confidant heard the news, he quickly went to see the Black Tiger.
When the Black Tiger heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He said, "This is a good thing! Let them go back first. Later, send someone to Black Wolf Island and send the deposit over. "
"Wait, isn't it more convenient to give it to them now?"
The confidant said.
The Black Tiger reprimanded, "Are you stupid? If we give them the money now, how are our people going to meet the spy on Black Wolf Island? The last time we went to Black Wolf Island, we didn't see our spy. If we don't see him this time, it will be a big problem. I have a hunch that we will definitely see our spy this time. Go there an hour later. "
"Yes, my Lord."
The confidant agreed and then went to send away the people sent by Ang Lee.
On Black Wolf Island, Ang Lee looked at the Black Tiger's spy and said, "It's time for you to perform. Soon, the Black Tiger will send people to the island. Find a way to contact them and then tell them that the Black Wolf and his subordinates went to rob White Dragon Island. They suffered heavy casualties, but they got a lot of treasures. Because of the heavy casualties, they had no choice but to start building defensive towers. At this time, the defenses of Black Wolf Island are empty, so it's the best time to take over Black Wolf Island in one fell swoop."
The first half of what he said was true, but the second half was false. The purpose was to lure the Black Tiger to the island and then destroy them all.
The Black Tiger's spy was shocked. He said, "Okay, okay, I promise you."
Chen Long added, "I'm warning you, don't play tricks. If the Black Tiger doesn't come, you can prepare to go into the sea to feed the fish! Also, if they ask you why you didn't appear last time, you can say that you were injured in White Dragon Island and didn't come out to recuperate in the house. "
The Black Tiger's spy was bitter. How could he be sure if the Black Tiger was fooled? This was forcing him to his death!
"But I don't have any injuries on my body! What if they don't believe me? "
The Black Tiger's spy said.
"That's easy. I'll get you some bandages later. Also, your face is too clean. There aren't any bruises. Come, come here."
Chen Long said and left a few bruises on the Black Tiger's spy's face, making him look like he was injured.
Less than an hour after the people sent by Ang Lee returned to Black Wolf Island, the people sent by the Black Tiger arrived. There were also six of them. Three of them went to the island while the other three waited on the ship.
After going to the island, they quickly met the spy who had many injuries on his body. They were shocked.
"What happened to you? Why are you injured so badly?"
Asked one of the pirates.
"Don't mention it. A few days ago, the Black Wolf King led all our brothers to rob White Dragon Island. In the end, the guards of White Dragon Island were very tough. More than half of our brothers were killed or injured. Even the White-Eyed Wolf and the Big-Eyed Wolf were killed. The Black Wolf King was also injured. It's good enough that I can come back alive. However, we still defeated the guards of the Zhou Family in the end.
I'm rich, and I'm rich, "said the Black Tiger's spy in a low voice mysteriously.
The three people on the other side were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect such a big thing to happen on Black Wolf Island. This shocked them quite a bit.
"Robbed White Dragon Island? It turns out that White Dragon Island was robbed by the Black Wolf King and his men. They even gained so much."
"With so many casualties, isn't the defense of this Black Wolf Island …"
The Black Tiger's spy said, "Half of our brothers are dead or injured. How can this Black Wolf Island still have any defense? In order to make it look impressive, they had to find people to build defense towers to make Black Wolf Island look very impressive. In fact, it's just a strong appearance. Now, the only leader of the Black Wolf Island is Green Dog. The others are all injured. That's why you can't see them."
"Oh, this is a good opportunity! How many people are left on this island now? "
The Black Tiger's spy replied, "More than half of the brothers of the Black Wolf Island are dead. Half of the remaining brothers are also injured. There are less than 30 of them who can fight. In addition, there are more than 100 fishermen who were temporarily recruited to be responsible for building defense towers."
