Chapter 270 Arrange for the families to leave the island in batches
Thirty thousand people killed all the island guards who appeared.
The civilians originally had no weapons, and the weapons used to kill the guards belonged to these guards.
When the fighting stopped, some people started crying, and then more and more people started crying.
Ye Wuwei stood aside and waited patiently for the people to finish crying.
After the crying stopped, Ye Wuwei said to the tens of thousands of people:
"There are only five ships on the island, so everyone needs to leave the island in batches. Now I will take you to the beach."
After the people calmed down, someone asked Ye Wuwei:
"How can we believe that you are here to rescue us? And not to take us captive somewhere else?"
It is completely normal for the people to have such doubts. After being abducted to the island and forced to do free labor for several years, it is really difficult for them to trust others.
Ye Wuwei took out the "King Qi" jade token from his body:
"Everyone knows that His Majesty was Prince Qi before he ascended the throne. This is the jade plaque he wore before he ascended the throne. Seeing this jade plaque is like seeing Prince Qi himself.
This jade token was given to me by Your Majesty when you were Prince Qi, which means that I am a person Your Majesty trusts.
And I believe you have heard of His Majesty's reputation before: he is the God of War of the Qi Dynasty.
It was because Your Majesty led the soldiers to guard the north that we were able to drive the Ati people back to the north and prevent them from moving south to invade the Central Plains.
How could someone like Your Majesty be the same as the one who captured you and brought you to the island?
Even if you don't believe us, just follow us out of the island and onto the South City coast."
The people discussed in low voices.
Someone asked, "Will they let us go once we reach South City?"
"It was the Yuwen clan who abducted you to the island. They wanted to turn this island into another place to settle down.
It was the governor of Nancheng and his soldiers who transported you from the land to this island.
The governor of Nancheng was also from the Yuwen faction.
Therefore, my original plan was:
After rescuing you from the island, we will first take you away from Nancheng and place you in Huishui.
Once you reach Huishui, you can go wherever you want."
Another citizen asked:
"Since the court already knows that it was the Yuwen family and the Nancheng Governor who kidnapped us, why don't they punish them?"
“Punishment is of course necessary.
But before, we only heard that you were kidnapped, but we had no evidence. Now that we have evidence, we will naturally take action against the Yuwen family and the Nancheng Governor."
The people started discussing it again.
Seeing this, Ye Wuwei said, "Why don't we all go to the beach first?"
Everyone had no objection to Ye Wuwei's suggestion.
When we arrived at the beach, we saw five large five-story ships.
Yao Guangzhi was already waiting at the beach with a group of people. He reported to Ye Wuwei:
"We found ten crew members. I brought them here first. We are still investigating the others."
Ye Hongxia fed poison to the ten sailors as usual.
Ye Wuwei said to everyone:
“Each boat can hold nearly 900 people at a time, so there will be seven round trips.
But don't worry, we will get everyone off the island.
Once you're on the boat, you'll need to sign a 10,000-person book to prove you were taken to this island to do free labor and that we rescued you."
Some people asked:
"Is it enough for us to just prove that we were abducted to this island to do free labor and that you rescued us from the island?"
"Yes."
Seeing that everyone had no more questions, Ye Wuwei said, "Let's line up to get on board now."
Ye Wuwei did not leave and said to Yao Guangzhi:
"You will lead the first group of people first, and when you reach the South City Coast, you will be responsible for comforting the people.
If the soldiers Lei Dahong borrowed from Huishui have arrived, they will escort the first group of civilians out of Nancheng first."
"What about you?"
"I'll be the last one to leave."
Afterwards, Ye Wuwei told Yao Guangzhi some precautions.
……
After the first batch of ships left, Ye Wuwei said to the people who stayed behind:
"The boat takes seven hours to go back and forth, so we need to fill our stomachs.
But the two hundred of us alone can’t afford to feed so many people, so we need everyone to work together.”
Perhaps because everyone saw the first group of people boarding the ship and leaving the island, or perhaps because Ye Wuwei also stayed, the people had more trust in Ye Wuwei and his group.
Some people stepped forward on their own initiative to prepare food.
Ye Wuwei searched the crowd and found the man he had first chatted with when he last visited Shanghai Island. He sat down next to him.
"Brother, we meet again."
The man looked at Ye Wuwei doubtfully: "Do you know me?"
“A few days ago, I went to this island to investigate the situation and slept next to you. You told me why everyone was afraid to escape.
But I changed my appearance at that time."
The man became excited: "Oh, that person is you!"
The people sitting nearby asked what was going on, and the man started talking excitedly.
After finishing speaking, the man asked Ye Wuwei: "Sir, how did you get to the island?"
Ye Wuwei briefly told the story of how he disguised himself as a fisherman and hid on a boat to get to the island.
After listening to Ye Wuwei, the man sighed:
"Sir, I now believe that you are indeed here to rescue us, otherwise you would not have risked going to the island."
The people listening on the side echoed.
Ye Wuwei smiled and asked the man, "Where are you from? How did you get abducted to the island?"
“I’m from Pancheng, and once there was a flash flood, everyone in our village left.
We were originally placed in a mountain temple by the government, but when I woke up, I was already on a boat and was then sent to this island."
"Are there any acquaintances among your group?"
"Yes, when I first arrived on the island, I found two people from our village there, but I never saw them again."
Ye Wuwei then asked about the situations of the other people around him. Their experiences were similar to this man's, but some of them were still alive.
