Chapter Seventy-One: Jin Hai's Past
After Jiuqing introduced the creatures brought with him one by one, let everyone try to remember the characteristics and appearance of these creatures. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Heiqiao was still dragging the broken golden hairpin in his hand, facing the sea, his expression was not the usual evil appearance, and he was full of grief and indescribable sentimentality from the inside out.
"Don't prick your hand, I'm afraid the golden hairpin has been underwater for four or five years, and it's still stuck in a corpse, which must be soaked in toxin."
Jiuqing stepped forward, facing the sea like Heiqiao. Hearing that it was on a corpse, Heiqiao's whole body shook, and the resentment in his eyes turned into sadness, and he couldn't hide it. Mu Ze also stepped forward and stood quietly beside Jiuqing, only to hear Heiqiao ask with all his might
"You found it?"
Jiuqing nodded
"The ship was half buried in the sand, so it was not carried away by the currents, and judging by the corrosion of the ship, the accident was no more than five years old. The shipwreck accident is estimated to have occurred in the middle of the night, and many people are resting in the cabin, so most of the bones are still left in the cabin. There was only one body stuck in a crevice in a coral reef, and the golden hairpin was taken from him. ”
When Heiqiao heard this, her body staggered, she was really dead, she was really dead! should have hated, she killed the people of the Zhang family, she should have died, but why did she confirm her death, her heart hurt so much!
"This man is too tall for me to bring his bones up, so I have to bring this golden hairpin to you first to see if it is the person you are looking for."
Tall? Heiqiao was stunned, although she was slender, she was definitely not tall! Seeing that he was stunned, Jiuqing put his hands behind his back and quietly gestured to Mu Ze, Mu Ze saw that she had been observing Heiqiao's subtle emotions, and couldn't help laughing, Jiuqing should have another surprise for him, as long as he saw the opportunity to cooperate.
"Are you saying that the person holding this golden hairpin is very tall? Isn't it a woman? ”
Heiqiao asked, Jiuqing shook his head
"Judging by the size of the man, he must be a man, and he is not holding a golden hairpin, to be precise, the golden hairpin is tied to him for emergency tools."
Emergency? Heiqiao was even more surprised, and wanted Jiuqing to say more, so Mu Ze opened his mouth
"Don't be in a hurry when the head of the woodcutter is ahead, the place has been found, just go down and find out. Now that Xiao Jiu has found the location, it can be regarded as an explanation to you, you can also tell us the specific location of the ore vein, we are looking for the ore vein, and you take someone to find what you want, it is the right time. ”
Jiuqing straightened her spine and nodded, as if she was echoing what Mu Ze said, in fact, she was reminiscing about Mu Ze's title, Xiao Jiu, except for the eight people who called her like this, hearing such a title from Mu Ze's mouth, there was no sense of disobedience. Heiqiao woke up from the chaos of thoughts, and he naturally heard the meaning of the third master's words, this third emperor and Jiuqing were indeed righteous enough, and tried their best to do these things for him, if he still had something to hide, he would really live up to the intentions of the two.
"Third master, ninth master, in fact, there is an extension of the vein that needs to be confirmed, if I go back to the ship and see the situation above, I may be able to confirm the location of the vein closest to the coastline, so that the difficulty of mining will be much reduced."
He was finally willing to be honest with each other, Mu Ze and Jiuqing exchanged glances and nodded
"Since it is a matter of mutual assistance and reciprocity, then the cooperation is happy! We'll discuss the details and arrangements later. ”
Jiuqing saw that the two of them reached a consensus, and she was also very comforted, she had just tried to explore underwater, and she couldn't detect the direction of the vein in a short period of time.
At night, the three of them sat on the deck, with a stove burning in the middle, and a few wind lamps hanging on the side of the ship, illuminating the darkness in the night. Mu Ze and Jiuqing sipped tea and listened to Heiqiao tell his story.
The Zhang family is a big family in Qinyang, the eldest head is in charge of the family's affairs, and the second head of the family runs the Zhang family's shop to make a living, providing the clan with excellent living conditions, and has always been relatively harmonious. One day, the second head of the family got a stack of manuscripts and discussed with the head of the family behind closed doors for a day and a night.
Zhang Qiao is the second son of the eldest family, and the eldest brother inherited the family business and learned to run the family, so he was able to travel abroad to increase his knowledge. But it was at that time that his father called him back because he liked a woman from the island. After he returned to Zhang's house with his sweetheart, his sweetheart was immediately invited by his father, but he was left outside the council room. Later, his sweetheart said goodbye to him in a hurry, and before he had time to ask the reason, he hurried away with a team of people sent by the Zhang family, and he was also sent to a desolate place thousands of miles away.
When he rushed to the island with all his might, everything was over, the boat carrying the second family and his eldest brother sank into the sea together, and the Zhang family was beheaded on a trumped-up charge.
Qinyang? The big family is full of punishments? Mu Ze seemed to think of something, he had the impression that the Zhang family's crime was that the uncle of the country presented something to the emperor to be convicted, and the family of the uncle and the queen was from Qinyang!
Heiqiao smiled bitterly
"Since then, Zhang Qiao has also been buried at the bottom of the sea, and the person who gave the drawings has also died of heart, and no longer sends people to find this legendary vein."
The words have been said for this part, and everyone has nothing to hide, Jiuqing said bluntly
"I'll tell you the next story for you, the Zhang family formed an alliance with someone in the imperial court, and was guided by them to know about the ore vein, someone must have sent a lot of people out to look for it, but they all went and never returned, Qinyang is a water town, and the Zhang family has excellent people and water, so they were favored by someone. It just so happened that the second son of the Zhang family at that time fell in love with a smart and resolute woman at the destination, and if you guessed correctly, that woman was the daughter of a pirate leader. So someone took advantage of this to contain the Zhang family, and also colluded with pirates, and used these two groups of people to form a team to explore the veins, but the whole army was wiped out. The events at that time attracted the attention of the supreme leader, and in order to divert attention and bury the truth, someone placed a crime to exterminate the Zhang family. They thought that the second son of the Zhang family also died in the shipwreck, but he hibernated, bent on seeking the truth. first killed the previous pirate leader, became the leader of the pirates, and then used the pirates' financial resources to find out the people behind it, it seems that some conclusions should be reached. ”
Hei Qiao smiled, Jiuqing said the process too really, as if she had experienced it, but as the person concerned, his mood really couldn't be described in words.
"Yes, I've been looking for news about the veins for the past few years, and the old leader has given me some references, so I can determine the approximate location of the veins. And the second uncle has always been shrewd, and he must be wary of that person, so the ship will definitely find something that will finally determine the direction, and as far as I have been exploring for many years, that direction will definitely lead to a position not far from a certain coast. ”
