591. Another encounter with pirates

An old merchant ship that seemed to be unable to withstand the strong winds and waves floated out of the sea.

This port, dozens of miles outside Yanshui City, was naturally lifted after Cai Jianjiu's death. After all, no one would be unable to get along with money.

The news that Cai Weijun and Cai Jianjiu were killed had spread throughout Liuqiu at the speed of a strong wind and dark clouds in these days. Now it is the time when Liuqiu is undercurrent and all parties are accumulating their strength to compete for the real power of Liuqiu. Although the lord of Yanshui City is nothing about Liuqiu, if he takes this opportunity to make money, it would be useless to spend a lot of money to buy this position from the Wulin League.

Is it really a matter of becoming an official to benefit the people?

fart!

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Cai Weijun, Cai Jianjiu controlled the current government and sought the government. He kept his personal pockets all day long to seek benefits for the Wulin League. How many good birds can these officials below have?

It was extremely easy for Zhao Dongting and his party to go to sea, and there was no obstacle at all.

Although the merchant fleet in the Central Plains had not yet heard the news, they hurried to Liuqiu and continued to do the sea transportation transaction that could make a fortune. However, Liuqiu fleet had already gone to all parts of the Central Plains, especially Liuqiu. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that it was time for sea transportation to make money. After some time, more and more people flocked to this industry, and it was almost impossible to have such a big profit. Now they still depend on the plump chest of the wife at home, that is, they could not get along with the word "Rijin to fight gold".

Zhao Dongting only spent a small price, which made the managers in the merchant fleet happily agreed to take them to Leizhou.

Of course, in addition to the serious ship fare, Zhao Dongting must also give some money to the manager. However, Zhao Dongting obviously didn't take this little money seriously.

Snakes have snake holes, rats have rat paths. It is inevitable to live comfortably on the boat.

Zhao Dongting was probably the emperor who was most familiar with these "little rules" among the people in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Because language communication is not convenient, Zhao Dongting and others seemed a little bit unique on the boat. He was also happy with this, and was bored, so he fished on the boat.

And the vast ocean is obviously rare to gain.

After more than twenty days, the merchant ship approached the Dongsha Islands. The atmosphere on the ship suddenly became much more solemn, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the top of the boat at all times.

Roughly speaking, Liuqiu banned the port for nearly half a year. Those pirates must have been "very hungry", and the merchant ships ahead could not find out whether they could fill their appetites. More money is a trivial matter, and the most feared thing is that those pirates do business of detaining ships and intercepting goods and killing people regardless of the rules.

Although the owner of this merchant ship has some connections, allowing the merchant ship to follow the middle of the large fleet, if it has a special foundation, it would not be the only one of the broken ships going to sea. If you really have to be unlucky at that time, you will be afraid that these merchant ships who are dependent on others will take the blame. If you want to pay, most of the money will have to be paid.

Zhao Dongting didn't care, he was as leisurely as ever.

These days, he has recovered his injuries and his cultivation has been consolidated in the Shangyuan Realm. He has also broken through two acupoints with the momentum of breaking the realm. Although Mrs. Xu and Tie Liduan have already returned to Leizhou first, there is Hong Wutian and Kumano on the side, and Cai Vaisu, who has no idea of ​​his specific strength, who has been refined into a zombie by Kumano, cannot be swallowed by pirates.

The fleet passed between the Crescent Islands and the South Ring Islands and the North Ring Islands.

Perhaps because the Mishima blocked the hurricanes at sea, the waves here are always smaller. Merchant ships in some years no longer sway so violently.

The fleet is not unable to bypass the Dongsha Islands, but the pirates have a very wide radiant strength. They can bypass temples, but they may not be able to bypass monks. If they really are surrounded by pirates outside the Dongsha Islands, then it will not be a problem that money can solve, and they will inevitably be killed and looted. When sea transportation was just booming, there were many bloody lessons, and later every business company learned to be honest.

When I lived in the Dongsha Islands, most of the pirates still used the rules and killing people and intercepting goods, but it was just a small probability event.

That night, the fleet was stopped by the pirates in front of them without any surprise.

The pirates mingling in the Dongsha Islands all had small boats on the sea. This merchant fleet was obviously stared at after entering the Dongsha Islands, even earlier.

There were only more than a dozen pirates, not big, and they could not tell the depth.

But no one dared to take this small group of pirates seriously.

I learned that there were definitely many pirates passing through the merchant ship, but why could this little pirate have the courage to stop the fleet before the rest of the pirates arrived?

If there is no contest between the light, it is obviously impossible.

Big pirates eat big fleets, while little pirates eat small fleets. This is an unwritten rule that has been agreed upon in the Dongsha Islands. No small pirate dares to commit taboos.

The pirates who were arrogant in the past had committed such a taboo, and the endings were similar and miserable, and even their names disappeared in the Dongsha Islands.

The fleet manager is a person with some status in Yanshui City. The master behind the scenes is said to be the top wealthy businessman in Yanshui City, and he can get in touch with the Lord of Yanshui City.

This manager seems to be a fellow villager to the cousin of the concubine of the Yanshui City Lord.

Such people still have a sense of demeanor in front of outsiders.

After the merchant fleet was intercepted by the pirate ship, the most luxurious ship that the manager was riding slowly sailed to the front of the fleet.

The manager dressed very well and had a businessman's temperament, and he didn't look like a servant at all. He walked out of the cabin and saluted the pirate ship standing in front of him, "I've seen all the heroes."

The sound is shaking in the night waves.

On the pirate ship, the torches also swayed with the night wind. Under the light of the torch, the hideous faces also flickered and darker.

The fleet and the pirate ship are only a few meters apart.

The pirate ship was still approaching, and finally, it hit the merchant ship where the manager was located.

This made the merchant ship shake, and the in charge and the people on the ship change color slightly.

Although the pirate ship in front of them is much smaller than the merchant ship, their prestige can already make them feel upset.

The manager waved to the back.

A few pirates, big and thick, jumped onto the bow of the pirate ship, and their muscles trembled. They were holding knives in their hands.

This is not the Central Plains, and the pirates also think that the sword makes it easier. There are very few people using the sword, and they are basically masters.

However, although these guys use swords, they can jump onto the ship directly, and obviously some kung fu disciples are also some kung fu disciples.

Someone trotted to the front with a plate behind the scenes.

"Please accept it with a smile, all the heroes."

The manager took the plate and respectfully handed it to the pirates in front of him who made him scared. The plate was about 20 yuan, all five taels of silver.

This is not a small amount, and it is more than two more dollars than the previous examples.

But the pirate in the lead just swept across the silver lightly, "That's all? Can you be a beggar?"

The manager smiled all over his face, "Don't you know the current rules of the head?"

He spread his fingers for the pirate, "It will cost fifty taels."

The manager couldn't laugh anymore and showed a bitter look, "Official, our profits this time..."

Those who do business are always accustomed to bargaining.

But what the manager never expected was the pirate who could actually make some sense in the past, but this time he was extremely arrogant. Before he finished speaking, a knife was put on his neck, "Talk for a long time!"

The manager swallowed his saliva and slapped his legs, almost scaring his urine. Of course, he would no longer have the courage to bargain.

After all, the money belongs to the master. How much money can be earned on this trip will not be too much on his hands. There is really no need to risk being beheaded for this.

He hurriedly shouted to the back: "Go and get another fifty taels of silver to honor all the heroes."

The accountant who had just sent the money to the accountant ran into the cabin again.

"Damn it."

The pirates in the lead seemed extremely impatient, "You guys are just a little too late, but now they live. I'm afraid that Mo will not get any good things I have obtained."

The manager was confused, but he didn't dare to ask.

A pirate next to him smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. It will take some time for the boss and the others to deal with the men of the Hongniang who is the woman. We should be able to catch up."

The pirate, who led the pirate spitted heavily, "If you catch up, there will be only leftovers. It is said that the girl from the Matchmaker is very beautiful and tight, and there are many beautiful women below. I'm so nervous these days that I'm so nervous on the island. If I can't catch up with something new, how disappointed?"

The pirate who had just spoken next to him licked the corner of his mouth and laughed, "If you can't get something fresh, you can have a few more, and you can enjoy it."

Their words and deeds were unrestrained, and their voices seemed as rough as they looked. Even under the cover of the night wind and waves, they were naturally heard in the ears of Zhao Dongting and others who were smart and clear-headed.
