Chapter 52: Coming to the Door
If there is nothing to do on weekdays, the ordinary crew members of other ships will definitely not board the warship where Baisha and Zheng Zhilong are located, and there must be something wrong with the arrival of these crew members.
The crew members who came to the warship got Bai Sha's permission, and said a little nervously: "Tell the first mate, we were blocked when we came back, and the people who blocked the way were the group that bullied Li Qiaoer, and they gave us a thing, saying that it was a gift to apologize." ”
With that, the crew took out a bag and presented it to Baisha.
Bai Sha took the bag and motioned for the crew to leave.
If several crew members were amnestied, they didn't dare to look at Da Biao, and they hurriedly disembarked.
The bag is very lightweight, and it is not like gold or silver. Bai Sha was in no hurry to open the bag.
The others on the warship didn't know what this meant, and Da Biao took his leave first.
After Da Biao's group left, Bai Sha called the rest of the people back to the house.
Bai Sha's heart cleared this bag must have been sent by a man named Li Jian, and he didn't know what it contained.
After returning to the house, he closed the doors and windows, and Bai Sha slowly opened the bag.
The contents of the bag were beyond everyone's guesses, and even Bai Sha didn't understand for a moment why Li Jian used such a valuable thing as a gift to apologize.
When Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong brought Li Qiao'er back, Li Jian insisted on compensation.
Bai Sha once said that if he had to pay compensation, the treasure map obtained at the auction could be used as compensation, but at that time, Li Jian just said that it was just a parchment scroll, where did the treasure map come from.
I didn't expect Li Jian to really present the treasure map today.
Bai Sha didn't know what the other party's purpose was, and it was very clear at the auction that the authenticity of this treasure map could not be guaranteed, and now Bai Sha held the treasure map in his hand, and he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.
"Li Qiao'er, you go and bring the second dog to this room." Bai Sha said.
After Li Qiao'er left, several people in the room stared at each other, not knowing what to say.
Niu Xiaohua has been on the warship for this time, so she naturally knows the secret of the treasure map, and now she can't keep her inner peace, looking at the treasure map, her eyes are hot.
Bai Sha handed the treasure map in his hand to Niu Xiaohua, "Captain Niu, why don't you see if it's true or not?" ”
Niu Xiaohua stopped playing with a pair of iron balls in her hand, and quickly waved her hand and said, "Just look at it as a first mate, I'll forget it." ”
Bai Sha just smiled, and he didn't embarrass Niu Xiaohua.
After a while, Li Qiaoer took the second dog back to the house.
In Ergou's opinion, the people sitting in the room are all big people, and it is inevitable that they are nervous and forget the basic etiquette.
If the treasure map that Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong originally owned was genuine, according to this comparison, it would not be difficult to find out the authenticity of the treasure map sent by Li Jian, and to identify the authenticity of the treasure map, no one should be able to compete with the two dogs at present, he is a veritable expert.
Bai Sha beckoned Ergou to his side and sat down, and handed the treasure map sent by Li Jian to the other party, "Ergou, take a closer look, this picture is true or false compared to the one I gave you." ”
Ergou, who was idle on the boat and had nothing to do, now received Bai Sha's instructions, and Ergou, who was originally very restrained, became professional, carefully took the treasure map in Bai Sha's hand, and looked at it carefully with his eyes close to the treasure map.
Bai Sha sat quietly beside Ergou, and did not say a word to disturb the other party during the period.
After a long time, Ergou finally let out a breath of turbidity and returned the treasure map to Bai Sha.
Ergou wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "First mate, the small one has been carefully compared, this picture is compared with the previous one, the material looks and smells the same, for the sake of caution, I also specifically compared the signs of the line outline on the two pictures, and they can all match, so I deduce that this incomplete picture should be true." ”
Ergou said the conclusions reached.
Looking at Bai Sha, who was deep in thought, Li Qiaoer left the house with Ergou.
Bai Sha really couldn't understand that such a valuable treasure map was sent over like this, and it was real, and regardless of the real value of the mutilated treasure map, he had bid for thousands of taels of silver at the auction.
Baisha really can't figure out what strange things will happen if he stays on this island any longer. First, the sloppy old man Yin Mole, who wanted to join the fleet regardless of the pay, and now Li Jian, who sent the treasure map at will, these people are more strange than the other, and one is more incomprehensible than the other.
Will Li Jian take Bai Sha's words seriously and really send out the treasure map? This kind of thing is not believed by Baisha.
Bai Sha couldn't think clearly, but Bai Sha still wanted to ask Ergou a question, but when he turned his head, he found that Ergou was no longer there.
At this time, Li Qiaoer just pushed open the door and came in, and was instructed by Bai Sha to call the second dog.
In this way, Ergou came to Baisha's room again.
Bai Sha took out two different treasure maps, handed them to Ergou at the same time and said, "According to these two broken maps, can you use this to launch a complete map, how many pieces of such broken maps are needed to piece together completely?" ”
Ergou said cautiously: "First mate, these two pictures can't be put together, I can't guarantee if I can deduce it, but I need a little time." ”
Bai Sha nodded.
Ergou turned around and walked away quickly, and when he returned to the room, he compared the two pictures again.
The reason why Bai Sha asked Ergou to calculate the number of broken treasure maps was because he found that the two treasure maps were almost the same size, and although he had no other clues, Bai Sha still wanted to give it a try.
Bai Sha looked at Zheng Zhilong, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
It was easy to get a treasure map, which surprised Zheng Zhilong.
Li Jian was willing to spend a lot of money to get this treasure map at auction, obviously he must have known the value of the treasure map. His subordinates bullied Li Qiaoer that day, but in the end, this matter was over, and Li Qiaoer was not harmed. If it was common sense, he would certainly not really use the treasure map as a gift of apology, but Li Jian did so. I don't know exactly what Li Jian wants to do, but I'm sure his purpose is not pure. Zheng Zhilong said.
At this time, Niu Xiaohua said inappropriately: "If only Li Xu hadn't died, so many things wouldn't have happened in the future." ”
Bai Sha thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the truth, but he still said: "Captain Niu, if Li Xu hadn't died, you wouldn't have waded into this troubled water with us now and provoked Li Dan's forces for no reason." ”
Niu Xiaohua was not interested in playing with the iron ball in her hand, and said with a wry smile: "What the first mate said is that in fact, the navigation and trade in this sea area are all carried out under Li Dan's gaze, and sometimes we trade with Li Dan, in fact, why are we not part of Li Dan's forces?" Our status is not equal, we are just begging for food in Li Dan's hands. ”
Niu Xiaohua's words made Li Kuiqi a little touched, and he couldn't help nodding secretly. Every time he goes to sea to trade, it seems that he makes a lot of money, but in fact, Li Dan has the lion's share, and they are all the objects of exploitation.
Niu Xiaohua can say these words, Bai Sha doesn't think it's a bad thing, although their fleet is ostensibly offending Li Dan's authority, but according to Niu Xiaohua, these fleets don't belong to Li Dan's forces, so what happened in Fenglei Hall is a family matter, but it's just infighting.
But this is just wishful thinking on the part of White Sands......
Since Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong's fleet went to sea, most of what happened every once in a while was inseparable from the treasure map, which was a large net interwoven on the vast sea, and everything that happened was closely related to it.
That night, when Li Jian obtained the treasure map through auction, Bai Sha had already remembered this person at that time, and privately discussed with Zheng Zhilong whether it was necessary to snatch the treasure map. However, the time that happened later in the Wind and Thunder Hall made the two of them have no time to think about this matter, and now this treasure map appeared in front of everyone, full of strange atmosphere.
Zheng Zhilong thought of a possibility, "Bai Sha, do you say that there is such a possibility, that is, Li Jian wants to release the news of the treasure map in our fleet, so that others have the intention of snatching it." ”
Bai Sha thought about it carefully and shook his head and said: "I think this possibility is very small, we fought in the Wind and Thunder Hall at night, this battle has made a lot of reputation, now we have a large crew and strong strength, there is no such force on the island that can compete with us, this method is useless at least here." ”
What Bai Sha said made sense, and Zheng Zhilong fell into deep thought again.
Just when everyone was thinking hard to no avail, Ergou came back.
Ergou handed the two treasure maps back to Bai Sha, and then said, "First mate, I have carefully observed, and according to the size of the two maps, I estimate that a map of this size should take fifty to make a complete map." ”
Bai Sha gasped, a treasure map so mutilated could make everyone's head bleed. The treasure map in Bai Sha's hand is a parchment scroll, and it is not very small in itself, if according to the proportion, fifty incomplete treasure maps are put together, then the complete treasure map area is also considerable, it is a big deal, Bai Sha can't help but sigh.
Ergou was not invited out by Li Qiaoer this time, but said goodbye and left with great interest, he understood that it was better not to know some things.
An idea arose in Bai Sha's heart, that is, to let Ergou continue to rub the treasure map sent by Li Jian, and the speed should be fast, so that the treasure map sent back can be returned, no matter what the other party has in mind, this approach is very safe.
Just do it when you think about it, and it's time to do it.
"Li Qiao'er, please go and call Ergou over again." Bai Sha said.
In this way, today's second dog was very busy and was brought to the room again.
Bai Sha handed over the treasure map sent by Li Jian to Ergou, "According to this picture, print two more copies!" ”
The second dog took the order again, and this time, he forgot to close the door when he came to get it.
