Chapter 59: Crisis
"So, the Jerle you are talking about is the culprit this time, right?"
"I don't know, Your Highness. ”
How could Angus possibly answer, if so, wouldn't he admit that he had led people to the fertile land of the Demon Kelp?
"Interesting"
Licourt chuckled under his breath and didn't say anything more, but kept fiddling with his slender fingers, and suddenly the whole hall was only Labo and the three of them in pain*, which was extremely depressing, and this situation made Angus tremble uncontrollably, this feeling was really uncomfortable.
As if there was some special charm in these hands, Lycourt kept playing, and it took more than ten minutes before he put it down, and finally he spoke:
"I am a person with clear rewards and punishments, I will give you a chance, whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself. ”
"What chance?"
Angus's eyes lit up intensely.
"I'll give you a small team of fishermen, about ten people, a week's time, during this time you will capture that Gyal alive, remember that you must live, if you succeed, I will not be in charge of your fault, and even I just executed a councillor last time, and his place will be taken by you and become my right and left hand, but if it fails-"
Lycott looked up at Angus.
"Your Highness, there will be no failure. ”
"I hope so. ”
......
Angus slowly swam out of the legal department, followed by ten strong fishermen, his figure was a little unstable, if you were close to him, you would clearly hear his heart pounding violently in "Peng Dong, Peng Dong".
The merchant pursues profits, otherwise he would not have smuggled sea rice at the risk of hanging on Xingtai, but smuggling sea rice is not worth it at all compared to the identity of the council and the right and left hands of His Royal Highness, smuggling sea rice can earn an extra one or twenty gold scales a year, but he doesn't have much idea of how much money the council can transfer, but he has heard his nephew Rapo say that when he copied the previous council member's Zi Nu family, there were hundreds of gold scales, a lot of jewelry and treasures, and a two-story stone house!
As long as you can capture that Jell alive, you can ascend to the sky!
But if it fails—no, no, it won't fail, but His Highness has given him ten elite fishermen, plus his own wisdom, how can he fail to catch a mermaid!"
Angus, who was distracted, returned to his store, and when he opened the door, he saw two mermaids rummaging through his shop, and his pockets were even stuffed with all kinds of goods.
"What are you doing?"
His roar startled the two merfolk, and then Angus panicked at first, but couldn't help but sneer at the thought of something
"Angus, your mother-in-law took your money away with her children. ”
Angus was stunned, didn't he tell Quilla that he didn't come back for a long time before doing this? Now it's only been two hours, but then he didn't feel relieved, after all, Quera is just a woman, and she is pregnant with a child, and what she said at that time is so serious, it's a good thing to leave early, in case he is really sent to hang Xingtai, then his wife may not be able to get out.
Angus is in love with Quera, after all, Quera has been with him for more than ten years, and the two children in her belly are not a little bit, and he even spent his wife leaving early, which is very likely to be what these two said.
"You two Grah, hurry up and spit out the money my wife gave you, and I will also have to pay for the damage to my shop!"
As soon as Angus thought that his wife might be intimidated by these two people, he became even more angry and scolded loudly!
"Phew, Angus, what are you, you can't protect yourself, and you're still here to take care of your little shop. ”
The two fishermen, called 'Gera', were a little annoyed, but they didn't dare to do much, they could show off their might in front of the common people on weekdays, but in the middle of the kelp, the position of the merchant was much higher than that of the fisherman, after all, the merchant made money, and the fisherman had to spend money!
"Captain Anfu, these two have destroyed my shop, and I would like to ask you to help me dispose of them. ”
Angus shouted respectfully behind him, and it was only then that the two merfolk noticed that there were other people behind Angus.
A burly man swam in, two and a half meters tall, and the door of the shop was a little bit of a male gun before squeezing in, carrying a knife made of two isopropylene huge fish bones behind his back, extremely hideous.
If Cleveland saw this mermaid, he would have been killed, and this mermaid was the captain who had stopped him for hundreds of years in kelp that day.
"Anfu-sama!"
The two fishermen immediately shouted in horror, and Anfu's name can be said to be known to everyone in the fishing team in the middle of the kelp! He is a warrior who has been awarded the honor of a warrior, and he once smashed a monster of the two meters level with his bare hands without the help of any kind of weapon!
"Lord Anfu, we ......
One of the fishermen immediately began to plead.
"Shut up, you two real fishermen's faces, see how you look different from those lowly outless robbers, put everything back, and the other one will pay a gold scale. ”
"Lord Anfu, one golden scale is too much. ”
The low-level fishermen in the middle of the kelp only have five silver scales a month, and one gold scale is equivalent to two months of work in vain, and the total of these things they damage is probably only three or four silver scales!
"Are you questioning me?"
Anfu said with a deep brow.
"Yasuo-sama, this kind of thing should be ...... the Ministry of Justice."
The fisherman tried to defend himself, but the older companion of the narrator grabbed him and stopped him.
"Lord Anfu, this kid just became a fisherman and doesn't know anything, don't be surprised, a golden scale is a golden scale. We did it wrong."
Anfu snorted and nodded, and then Angus stepped forward and stretched out his hand:
"Take out the golden scales that my wife gave you!"
The two fishermen each took out a small cloth bag from their bosoms and handed it out with a look of reluctance, which contained five golden scales, the price that Angus's wife had paid for bribing them to let her leave the shop.
Angus snatched it away, opened the mouth of the bag and counted it quickly, and then his face sank, he remembered that he had told his wife to take out half of the money to bribe the fishermen who guarded it, and by that time the two of them together would be only ten, and his property was no more than thirty gold scales, and there were five more!
"You've stolen five golden scales!"
"You don't want to spew blood!"
The young fisherman's face turned red all at once, and he was already extremely unhappy that he had not made any money and had pasted a gold scale, and he was now framed.
"Impossible, Captain Anfu, I want you to search their bodies for me, the money must be on them"
Anfu frowned slightly, he punished these two people and one gold scale is already to give Angus face, after all, he is also a member of the fishing team, for outsiders to bully his own people, it is not good to spread out, but this Angus is a blessing in disguise, and is valued by His Royal Highness Richot, and it is not a hunt for monsters, it is easy to catch a mermaid, so Angus is almost ironclad to be a councillor, and it is not worth offending the future councillor for these two ordinary fishermen.
After a short period of thought, the rugged-looking man made a decision.
"Someone will restrain these two mermaids!"
A few more people came out of the door to hold the two fishermen down, Angus rushed forward, pulled off the clothes of the two directly, and searched carefully over and over again, except for a few copper scales of change, there was no money, then he let go of his hand, it seems that his wife only spent ten gold scales, but he didn't have the heart to apologize to these two fish, just now the two of them were still acting recklessly in their own shop.
"Captain Anfu, my wife is worried about my affairs, I want to go to her first. ”
Anfu nodded, he had to listen to Angus for a week.
The small kelp shop, which had been noisy for a long time, finally fell silent amid the sound of Angus locking the door.
......
Angus was going to find Joyce, this guy was his younger brother, but he was a half-brother, and few people knew about it, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Quyla to ask Joyce for help.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at Joyce's quarters, the stone house on the first floor tightly closed.
"Joyce has already left the middle of kelp with Quila?"
Angus swooped out, but quickly noticed that the door of Joyce's house was tied from the inside, which meant that there must still be mermaids in the house, and the tail fin quickly waved twice to the coral door. A slight voice was heard.
“...... Quera, my brother really loves you, and he can't guarantee that he will arrange you well, tsk, so many golden scales. ”
It was Joyce's voice, Angus was overjoyed, great, Quila was still in Joyce's house, raised his hand and was about to knock it down, but the next sentence was to give him a hand.
"That's only part of it, he actually hid a sum of money from my brother, if it wasn't for the fact that this time it was too big, he probably wouldn't have told me, and my brother really didn't tell me anything. ”
It was his wife's voice, but what did that mean? Quila was still talking
“...... Joyce, I heard the two fishermen say that Angus's evidence this time is conclusive, that he is responsible for the matter of the magic kelp, and that nine times out of ten he will hang on Xingtai, which scares me to death, let's hurry up and escape from the tribe together, and then go to my brother to cheat the money over, and then join other tribes, and the two of us have to settle down quickly when the child is about to be born. ”
'We're two children!'
Angus was momentarily stunned.
