At this time, at the scene, seeing Brother Zhu's brows tightened, Xue Laixiang also knew the reason, so he hurriedly explained to Zhu Beiguo quietly on the side, didn't this Sulu country promise to give us preferential treatment? I still have to pay compensation, and now if I don't deduct it from these merchants, how can I make it up?

Zhu Beiguo couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart when he heard this, he suddenly lost interest in visiting the market, so he waved his hand and left the shop with Hu Xiaolin, Wei @ Hong, and more than a dozen of them, leaving behind the hustle and bustle mixed with scolding and lamentation.

Because Zhu Beiguo knows that some kind of tragedy must be being staged there at this time, hey, the so-called gentleman is far away from cooking, don't think about it, let's stay out of the matter, out of sight and out of mind......

Therefore, the first three days of market research yielded little results, and Zhu Beiguo and his entourage were thrown a few stones and dirt from the shadows after doing several so-called market surveys with a few trembling shopkeepers who answered their questions.

Fortunately, Hu Xiaolin and the others were not afraid of the heat for safety, and they were fully armed and equipped with motorcycle helmets for defense, so the brothers were just frightened and nervous, but no one was injured.

During this period, one of the most serious attacks encountered by the brothers was that a piece of dirt hit Wei @ Hong's helmet, which startled him, and then Xiao Wei angrily pointed at the direction of the source of the attack, and couldn't help but say, with the AK47 in his hand, there was a burst of three bursts of point shots, after the shooting, everyone went to check, but no one was found, only a pig in the grass that had fallen in a pool of blood and had died.

In the end, the pig became a dish on the Pride table, and as for the attackers, there was no trace of them.

Wei @ Hong was very angry about this, and he was also a little disappointed, he asked Brother Zhu what was going on? Do the people of Sulu really hate us?

Zhu Beiguo comforted Wei @ Hong and said, I am probably hating and afraid at the moment, have you noticed the family of the shopkeeper who just talked?

The comprador of Sulu was so vicious to this family, but the shopkeeper's family was still deferential, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the other party was silent and even ignored us, and the half-grown child of the innkeeper still stared at us viciously......

"Did his relatives die in a naval battle?"

At this time, Wei @ Hong guessed.

"Who knows, maybe it's because we're demons! In public opinion, all bad things can be pushed on us. ”

At this time, Ren Ke interjected next to him, and then added:

"It's really sad......"

Zhu Beiguo shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said:

"Don't be sad, we are now but do good deeds without caring about people, I believe that sooner or later these people will thank us, and people will eventually understand that the enemies of the common people of Sulu are not us Australians who have come here to do business, but the tyrannical rulers who ride on their heads......"

However, what Zhu Beiguo didn't know was that Wei @ Hong's counterattack really shocked many locals, Wei @ Hong's scene of continuous shooting and killing a fat pig on the spot was seen by the Sulu people who were hiding in the house and behind the battlements of the city wall, and they were shocked, and there were all kinds of rumors in the market immediately, but there were no more attacks since then.

Of course, since the attack happened, Zhu Beiguo would definitely protest.

So Zhu Beiguo solemnly pointed out in front of Captain Kazakhstan and Zheng Fu that if Sulu cannot guarantee the safety of our procurement personnel, then we will reserve the right to use force!

In order to calm the situation, Sulu sent a team of 200 soldiers to protect the "Australian people" closely, and searched for the perpetrators throughout the city overnight, but after a lot of chickens and dogs, except for the officers and soldiers who participated in the search, the real culprit was not found.

But in the end, in order to give an explanation to the Australian people, it seems that they still took a few unlucky eggs to blame, two days later, the jailers of Sulu tied those people to the cable stakes in the dock square and tortured them to the "Australian people" to show the "Australian people", in order to show the sincerity of Sulu's friendship with Australia, as for the final fate of these people, Zhu Beiguo They don't know, and they don't bother to ask, let alone ask, because they have more important things to pay attention to.

However, the appearance of these soldiers who are close to "protection", in addition to "protection", another side effect is to completely isolate their own direct communication with the Sulu people, so this is even more impossible to conduct market price surveys.

Fortunately, there is a group of consultants like Xue Laixiang Huang Zhiyan and their guys, plus the traversers are not fools, although the value of the goods in front of them is not completely accurate, but it is not outrageous, so Zhu Beiguo and they finally shifted their attention to commodity procurement and determining quality and price.

In order to show sincerity, Sulu is really sincere in terms of product quality, and Zhu Beiguo also has a deep understanding of this, the quality of exported goods is indeed much better than that of domestic sales, and the price is indeed more affordable.

So with Xue Laixiang's quality control and Zheng Fu's help intentionally or unintentionally, the quality of the goods is indeed very good - at least Zhu Beiguo Xue Laixiang thinks so.

On the fourth day when the business between the two sides was in full swing, a sail shadow finally appeared on the sea, and Xue Laixiang recognized three of them at a glance - they were the three Cantonese hard-sailed tea ships of Heng'an, Hengtai and Hengxiang that were snatched by the Sulu pirates more than ten days ago.

After Zhu Beiguo learned of the situation, the group immediately put down all their business, took Captain Ha and Zheng Fu back to the trestle, and then quickly went to the Pride Class A, and after a while, a long whistle sounded from the top deck of the cockpit of the Pride, and thick black smoke erupted from the chimney at the stern.

Three red pennants quickly rose to the top of the Pride's mast as a signal for the opposing fleet to stop for inspection.

Obviously, the other party already knew what happened a while ago in Holo Harbor, and this time the entire fleet was very obedient, obediently stopped all the ships, and began to be inspected.

Zhu Beiguo was very satisfied with this, and he asked Zheng Fu, what kind of goods would those ships bring back when they returned to Hong Kong in the past?

Zheng Fu responded that the three ships of the Xue family brothers had been at sea for more than ten days with the other two giant pulp sailing ships of the Prime Minister, and if they did business, they would usually exchange them for some goods trafficked by the Hongmaoyi, such as Indian calico, velvet, pepper, etc., and if there was a demand, they would also exchange them for armor, swords, muskets, and bronze cannons.

In case of smuggling, there will also be confiscated jewelry, silver and other items.

Zhu Beiguo said that he was very interested in Indian calico and velvet, and he told Zheng Fu that the Australians were willing to buy some of the goods on the ship.

After an hour of stalemate on the sea, Captain Ha and Zheng Fu returned to the Pride and brought a message:

During the inventory of the goods on board, please allow the cargo to be unloaded at the port before the ship is delivered. Please contact the comptoir for purchases, as according to the laws of Sulu, no transactions are allowed on board......

Li Sanduo and Zhu Beiguo on the Pride knew that it must be such a reply in the end, and the main reason why they came to intercept this fleet was to know whether the other party had given in and was willing to act in accordance with the agreement, obviously through the other party's answer, it seemed that they had indeed known the agreement reached by the two sides and were willing to abide by it, so there was no need to continue to intercept it.

A whistle sounded, and the Pride turned away, leaving the aisle and back to the docks.

At this time, Huang Zhiyan also left the Nicole with a group of more than 50 people, and the brothers soon took the Nicole boat to the dock.

It can be seen that they are very excited, at this time, Xue Laixiang Huang Zhiyan and more than 50 of their guys, standing on the trestle and watching their boats gradually approach the dock, the expression is the same as seeing a family reunion after a long absence......

There was nothing to see about the ship being unloaded at the port, but both the crew of the Pride and the crew of the Nicole watching through the distance with binoculars were in high spirits, as men and women tied up with ropes appeared on the decks of several of the ships.

"There's a girl!"

"Holy! Legend has it that the Sulu pirates went to sea to rob the population! ”

"I found a girl in Hanfu!"

"Are you dazzled? That's obviously a cloth robe......"

"That's right! So far, we haven't visited the human market! ”

"Yes, yes, Captain Gu promised to tell us, saying that it was just these two days!"

"Buy a girl! Buy a girl to go! ”
