Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

"That's a good idea!" Xu Ning slapped his thigh excitedly. He didn't even bother to cry out in pain because he was so strong. He said directly, "He's not the only one who knows how to stir up trouble. I'm the best at stirring up trouble! Everyone knows how to throw dirty water!"

Speaking of making trouble, Xu Ning immediately listed a bunch of plans. Since the old tutor wanted to spread rumors, then they would spread rumors about him.

Xu Ningke didn't believe that the old tutor, Lao Deng, was a good person. When something happened that endangered everyone's life and death, a normal person's first reaction should be to tell the outside world.

Moreover, everyone can see what kind of person the Grand Minister of Agriculture is. It is really a disaster for the Daqing Dynasty that someone like the old Grand Tutor can become the Grand Tutor.

What happened in the court spread among the people of the capital the next day.

The people were talking about it, full of curiosity and concern. Some people directly cursed the old tutor, and the students under the old tutor cursed back.

Soon, some negative rumors about the old tutor began to spread, including some involving lawsuits involving lives.

These news changed the views of many people on the old master, and those who originally supported him began to waver. As for those students, they realized that their actions could bring serious consequences, so they kept silent.

At the same time, the people who stood on the side of the Minister of Agriculture became more determined and united, and their voices became louder.

The emperor had been following the matter closely. Although he expected that people would plead for the Minister of Agriculture after the news spread to the public, he did not expect that the incident would develop in another direction.

Xu Ning was extremely surprised by this. She had only released a few real murder cases related to the old Taifu's mansion, but it caused an uproar among the people.

She couldn't help but sigh: "Old Qin, you are really popular among the people!" She just threw a brick into the water, but it caused such a huge wave. She sincerely hoped that the equally old old master could withstand the pressure.

After all, if he had not committed sin, he would not have suffered this sin. But in any case, everything he experienced was a deserved retribution.

Just as things in the capital were becoming more and more intense, Xu Ning and his two companions, along with Pei Yongjun, went to the cannibal island to conduct some investigations.

The process was full of difficulties because the cannibals were very vigilant. Without the telescope provided by Xu Ning and the drone she secretly released, it would be difficult for them to get any information about the cannibal island.

However, everyone was shocked to see the cannibals treat other lives so cruelly. Not only did the cannibals kill all creatures close to the island, some even ate them alive, which made several people except Xu Ning doubt whether those cannibals were really human. Their behavior was more like a group of beasts in human skin, completely losing their humanity.

After this difficult investigation, Pei Yongjun realized that it was not easy to eliminate the cannibals. Xu Ning was greatly shocked because she witnessed the horrific scene of the cannibals killing people and drinking blood. For several days in a row, she couldn't eat and looked listless.

Through drone detection, they learned that the cannibal island was quite large and that there were at least thousands of cannibals living there. Faced with such a large number, it would undoubtedly be a difficult task to completely eliminate them.

Several people did not dare to go to the island rashly. In the end, they could only draw a topographic map of the outer area of ​​the cannibal island and return to Haicheng.

At this time, the news from the capital had already reached Haicheng.

After hearing about the old tutor's current troubled situation, Xu Ning happily ate an extra bowl of rice.

At the same time, the people sent by the court to inquire about the news also arrived. Xu Ning and others looked at each other, and finally decided that Pei Yongjun would take them to the Cannibal Island again.

“Uncle Pei, if they want to go to the island, let them go. But if anything unexpected happens, be sure to sink the ship and they can’t bring them back. If you’re worried about not being able to explain, just leave one person behind and don’t let him go to the island.” After all, once they go to the island, they will most likely be killed or infected with prions, both of which are fatal!

So you have to be careful.

Pei Yongjun nodded silently, but despite his repeated warnings and dissuasion, these people still seemed to firmly believe that there were secrets on the cannibal island, and even thought that the legendary treasure was on the island.

So in order to gain huge wealth and honor, they didn't believe what Pei Yongjun said at all.

Pei Yongjun shook his head helplessly, looking at their excited and greedy eyes, and sighed inwardly. He knew that no matter how he persuaded them, he could not change their determination. So he ordered his men to lower a small boat and let them explore the island on their own.

At the same time, Pei Yongjun signaled to a confidant, who quietly knocked one of the men unconscious and took him away, hiding him in the cabin. Only a few people knew about this plan, and everyone else thought that the man stayed on the ship because he was unwell.

When those people boarded the boat, they initially tried to look for their missing companions. But when they learned that the person who was knocked unconscious could not go to the island just because of diarrhea, they no longer cared about it. Their eyes were full of desire to achieve success, and they completely ignored Pei Yongjun's advice.

Even when Pei Yongjun repeatedly reminded them to be careful, they mistakenly thought that Pei Yongjun was preventing them from making achievements, and became more convinced that the treasure was on the island, and thus became more eager to go ashore.

"General, why are some people so eager to die?" Pei Yongjun's confidant asked in confusion. As a soldier, he could not understand the motivation behind such behavior.

Pei Yongjun has been in the officialdom for many years and knows the complexity of human nature. It is the greed in human nature that is at work. People are often blinded by the immediate benefits and cannot see the potential dangers.

"When people's eyes are filled with benefits, they cannot see the danger." Pei Yongjun sighed deeply and said with emotion. He took out a telescope and observed the actions of the people who came ashore attentively.

The drone that was also arranged by Xu Ning was also there. When he saw these people sent from the capital city coming to the island, Xu Ning almost laughed out loud. They were just trying to find a way to test the power of the cannibals.

It really proves the saying that good words cannot persuade a damned ghost.

But soon, Xu Ning couldn't laugh anymore.

Not long after those people came ashore, a group of cannibals emerged from the jungle. Most of them were only wrapped in a piece of animal skin or hay. Their skin was dark, their eyes were bloodshot, and they were grinning like wild beasts.

At first these people were startled, but they quickly reacted and immediately took out their weapons to deal with it.

Most of those cannibals had no weapons, only sticks or stones, and most of them had sharp claws.

"Ah!" a man screamed in horror.

The timid one was frightened and just as he was about to remind the leader to retreat, a cannibal boy suddenly jumped out and scratched his throat.

Blood gushed out, splashing on the faces and bodies of the people nearby.

"Ahhhh..." A terrified scream rang out and the others immediately fled in all directions.

The scene immediately became chaotic. The originally neat team collapsed in an instant. Some people panicked and some people fought with the cannibals, but the weapons in their hands did not pose much threat to the cannibals.

The cannibals were extremely ferocious. They attacked humans with their sharp claws and teeth, easily tearing open their skin and flesh.

The smell of blood filled the air and fear enveloped everyone.

"Help!" Someone cried and begged for mercy, but the cannibals ignored them and continued to attack frantically.

Xu Ning in front of the screen turned pale, and the people on the big ship where Pei Yongjun was also changed their faces. The people who were still alive on the island tried to stay calm and tried to find a way out, but they were surrounded by chaotic crowds and fierce cannibals.

"We must leave here!" Someone shouted, and soon several people ran towards the boat together.

The cannibal boy blocked their way first. At the same time, Pei Yongjun asked someone to pull the rope, and the boat gradually moved away from the island.

The next moment, the scene that Xu Ning had imagined really appeared, and the cannibal boy really chased after the boat.
