Chapter 209: Watching

A run-down log cabin on the outskirts of Yorktown North.

The fireplace in the house is lit, and the greasy-rich pine wood crackles and smells strange as it burns.

A man sits in front of the fireplace and bakes a fire, the beating flame reflected on his bald head, which is extraordinarily bright.

The footsteps came from far and near, and the man who was roasting the fire jumped up, quickly grabbed the long sword beside him, drew it out of its sheath, and looked at the door vigilantly. The door was pushed open from the outside, and the man was relieved, put his sword back into its sheath, and sat down again.

The man took off his hood, took off the sack cloth from his body, revealed a passable suit hidden under the pieces of the broken sack, walked to the fire, took off his tattered soft-soled shoes, brought his stout toes close to the fire, and restored the sensation of his toes, which had been numb from the cold, with the warmth of the flames.

"I do look like a homeless man with a sack on it, and I keep warm! No one can see that the clothes I am wearing are the sin of my feet, and the tattered soft-soled shoes are the same as those without shoes. The visitor complained.

The bald head moved his body back, avoiding the new strange smell, and said with a wistful face: "Big brother, when are we going to do it?" You have been investigating for three days, and if you don't do it, I'm afraid they will run away!"

"No, if the Backstreet Brotherhood gang wanted to run, they would have run a long time ago. They went out to sea when Edgerton tipped us off.

The reason why they parked the boat here must be that they don't want to leave yet!" the visitor analyzed, rubbing his frozen toes.

The bald head was still a little worried: "Then what are you going to do?" Edgerton said that they also have a high-level sculptor! ”

"I'm waiting for my chance, waiting for that guy to leave the ship, just like the other day he went to the Moulin Rouge, last time I hesitated and missed it. We've just become the Sculptor, and I'm worried that two hits won't be able to beat the high-level Sculptor. ”

At the mention of the Moulin Rouge, his bald eyes lit up: "Brother Hairy Feet, after doing this business, can I go to the Moulin Rouge?"

The two came to Yorktown with the dream of making a fortune, but found that their meagre 5,000 silver coins were really not enough to spend to do business, buy a house and marry a wife, so they immediately decided to use these silver coins as the principal and start their old business.

If you want to do "no capital trading", you must first have manpower, relying on the two of them alone is far from enough, Mao Zu knows that the sailors who go to the open sea are their natural allies, so they often go in and out of the taverns and gambling houses in the port, and easily find a few sailors who have some skills and are not satisfactory in life.

Drinking, eating, and playing with women, painting cakes and promising to talk about the future, coupled with the strength of the two new molders, and took the newcomers to do a few deals of beating sticks and robbing foreign merchants, and the hairy feet and the bald man finally gathered more than a dozen subordinates, and a few of them were transcendental.

With manpower, Mao Foot plans to make a big deal.

A group of pirates who are mixed in the port, the first big deal they want to do is naturally to get a boat, with a boat, they can carp jump over the dragon gate and go out to sea to turn into dragons.

With his subordinates looking for suitable prey, he soon received a report from his right-hand man Edgerton, that there was a ship in Herring Bay, which was said to be a smuggling boat of the Backstreet Brotherhood, and that gang seemed to have provoked the underworld bigwigs in Sleepless Street, and the good hands of the plasticizers were injured and fled to the ship overnight, and most importantly, they also brought a lot of things.

Early the next morning after receiving the news, Hairy Feet went with the bald man to inquire about the situation, and coincidentally, as soon as they arrived at Herring Bay, the target ship lifted anchor and left.

Thinking that a good prey had been lost, a boat full of backstreet fraternity savings slipped away in front of me. But the sharp-eyed bald man found that the ship did not seem to be heading for the open sea, but in the direction of the estuary.

The two quickly got a small fishing boat and followed, and the smuggling boat of the Brotherhood of Fruit Street sailed into the mouth of the Leichardt, sailed up the estuary, and finally docked at the small river harbor on the outskirts of the northern city of York. It seems that they just changed their hiding places.

After stopping the boat, the boss of the Backstreet Brotherhood asked Rupert to get off the boat and go to the city, and Hairy Foot and Bald Man also quietly followed, summoning his men along the way.

It was discovered that Rupert had finally entered the Moulin Rouge, but when they had gathered all the men, Rupert returned to the ship, and he did not get off the ship for three days.

So they hid in the neighborhood next to the river harbor, and waited for three days.

The hairy foot of the roasting fire was very anxious, and the news that his right-hand man Edgerton inquired about was that there were four plasticizers in the Backstreet Brotherhood, and three of the first-level plasticizers were injured in the conflict in the streets of the night, and Rupert, the high-level plasticizer, was intact.

This delay is three days, and the injuries of the originally injured people are almost healed, they only have two primary sculptors, and when the injured people on the other side have recovered, it will be a little self-sufficient to swallow the Backstreet Brotherhood in one bite.

Hairy Foot thought about it carefully for a long time, and really let him come up with a solution.

Poisoned!

Due to the increasing size of the city and the increasing population of the city, as early as a hundred years ago, centralized water supply facilities appeared in the large cities of the empire, and most of the water supply facilities were built by private individuals and the water was billed.

It's just that they're now on the outskirts of Yorktown, close to the Lechhardt River, and the water company doesn't see the spending power of the neighborhood at all, so they don't provide running water here.

In recent years, the water quality of the Leichardt River has become worse and worse due to pollution from various factories, and people living on the riverbank generally do not drink the river water unless they have no choice.

There is a public water pump in the neighborhood next to the river port, and residents in the vicinity generally go to the pump to get water.

After three days of observation, Mao Foot found that the Backstreet Brotherhood smuggling boat did not deliberately store fresh water, but arranged for someone to pull a cart with buckets to go to the public pump to get water every morning.

Poisoning the water may be a solution!

Hairy Feet happens to know a kind of medicine, which is colorless and odorless when added to water, and a small amount of contact will cause dizziness, and a large amount of drinking will cause a coma.

If they can seize the opportunity, they can sneak up on the people on the ship after breakfast, and if they cooperate with the effects of the drug, they will be able to defeat the Backstreet Brotherhood.

When the time comes, you want money and money, and you want ships and boats!

Having made up his mind, Hairy Feet decided to take a risk, beckoning his men to make arrangements.

......

Rupert received an urgent notification from MI that morning that he should evacuate quickly.

He immediately pulled anchor and set sail, but he did not dare to leave Yorktown just like that, as the enforcer of Yorktown's southern district, he could not leave his post without permission, and he had to get the consent of the organization.

In the end, he had to hide in the small port of the upper Lechat River, and then went to the Moulin Rouge to find Eliza for news.

Finally learning that it was Michaels's Stuart spy identity was exposed, and he and James were also on the City Guard's list of arrests, but fortunately he and James were notified to escape in time.

I thought I would need to hide for a while and wait for the organization, but I didn't expect Rupert to meet the grandmaster Storm who had been hiding in the Moulin Rouge this time. Storm used his discretion to arrange for Rupert to hand over all the affairs of the South City to Eliza, and then evacuate back to Londinium to await the next steps of Stuart's spy department, MIS.

So for the past three days, Rupert has been hiding on the ship, sorting out the materials that need to be handed over, waiting for Eliza to receive them, and then sailing back to Stuart without incident.

Rupert had just informed the military intelligence department of the news of his intention to flee back to China through secret channels, and he was immediately notified that he needed to pick up James, who was also hiding, and return home together.

So Rupert sorted out the materials overnight this night, and finally packed two large boxes, planning to send them to the Moulin Rouge early tomorrow morning, and then pick up James to return to China to rest for a while.

Although he lost his position as an enforcer, he might have a new arrangement when he went back and hugged the thigh of the Great Elder.

As for Stuart's MIA, it is impossible to punish him severely, and it is a big deal to be sent to a remote area to lurk, and James is a good example.

I heard that he made a mistake in Castile that year, exposed his identity, and was assigned to a remote area. It's just that I didn't expect that place to be a fat mess, James made a fortune quickly, if it wasn't for the escape of the prisoners escorted this time, James might still be counting money in Medis!

Now everyone has the same disease, and the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother. Each of them prepared silver coins and went back to the officers and men of the Military Intelligence Department, in order to punish the board and hold it high.

Both Hairy Feet and Rupert were waiting for the next day.
