Chapter 94: The Head of the Bazaar
Although Scar Man does not have a half-official position in the Golden Islands, and he is not the leader of any pirate group, he has the trust of Arthur, and he is also very skilled and ruthless, so the pirates on the island are sometimes more nervous when they see him than Arthur, and they call him Grimace Dante in private.
The pirate leader who was humiliated in public looked at the scar man and gritted his teeth with hatred, but the scar man was Arthur's confidant, and he couldn't do anything to the scar man, and if he really started to do it, he probably didn't even know how he died, so in the end, he could only leave a few cruel words that were not painful and take his pirates away in embarrassment.
The scar man looked at the back of the pirate leader leaving, sneered disdainfully twice, and then said to the middle-aged man: "You come with me to see Master Arthur now, but I want to remind you that the pirates here are not all as wasteful as him, so take care of your own mouth, and even more so the knife in your hand." β
The middle-aged man nodded and didn't speak, then followed the scar man to the parliament building.
At the same time, Uncle Wei and I also rushed to the slave market on the island, but unfortunately the slave market was closed again.
The head of the bazaar looked at our group, and suddenly pointed to the small card and said, "Aren't you a slave bought by the fat girl?" Why is it uglier than before? And she's a lot thinner than before, tsk, the fat girl is really not something that ordinary people can bear. β
"You may have mistaken someone, he's my friend, and I don't know any fat girl. Let me ask you something, have you received a few students here today? I asked for a cigarette from Uncle Wei and handed it over, and asked as I lit it for the head of the market.
"Someone who looks like a student?" The head of the bazaar puffed on his cigarette and said, "You mean the young men who came from Suel and preached some kind of bullshit revolution, right?" β
"Exactly!" I nodded and asked, "Have you seen it?" β
"I've seen it, I've seen it, but that was a while ago, those kids are really bold, they dare to come here to promote some republican system, and let us all follow the great steps of Glass, I fucking know what the hell Glass is." As soon as the head of the bazaar talked about the students, the spitting stars flew straight away, and I dodged as politely as I could, listening carefully for any clues.
"Later, the students were even more terrible, and they actually ran to the parliament building to talk to Master Arthur, but they were arrested by Master Bren's men on the way. After a round of looting, Master Bren rummaged through the belongings that the students had brought with them, but they were of little value except for a pile of revolutionary materials. Fortunately, two of the schoolgirls were pretty, so Master Bren kept the two schoolgirls behind, and blasted the other students off the island, and warned them that if the ransom was not paid within seven days, the remaining schoolgirls would become slaves. At this, the head of the market stopped abruptly, shook the ashes from his hands, took two puffs, and threw the cigarette butt on the ground.
"Didn't you come after?" I hurriedly asked Uncle Wei to hand over another cigarette, and then quickly lit it to the market leader, who took two puffs before continuing: "Later, the students who went out to find the ransom came back, but not all of them came back, and they were brought back after being put down by Fanny's little rabbit cub, which means that they went out and didn't find the ransom, and they became slaves." Oh yes, those two female students who were left behind later were also sold to me, supposedly to have bitten Lord Brun, his grandmother, these students really don't know the sky, who is Lord Brun, that is the character of the entire Golden Islands after Lord Arthur, and the most ruthless character on the entire island. β
The head of the bazaar stopped talking again, but this time it wasn't that the cigarette was gone, but that there was really no follow-up.
"You haven't seen those students since, have you? Especially today? I asked, unrelenting.
"No," said the head of the bazaar, with great certainty, but he looked at me, suddenly became vigilant, and asked with a straight face, "Who are you?" Why have you been asking about these students? Are you their accomplices? β
I quickly waved my hand and said, "Of course not, I'm not interested in any bullshit republican revolution either." We are rum merchants from Paradise Island, and this time we came to discuss trade with Lord Arthur, but this is not about the same thing, I heard that there are students from Suel on the island, and I have never seen them before, so I came to inquire. β
"Just curious? What are the curious questions of a few students, you have asked so much, I'm afraid this explanation doesn't make sense, right? The head of the bazaar was not stupid, and with a wave of his hand, seven or eight of his men quickly surrounded him.
I smiled and said to the head of the market, "Oh, you see, if I have to tell the truth, I'm not just going to be like this." β
"Okay?" The head of the bazaar thought for a moment and suddenly laughed obscenely, "Hello, this mouthful? β
"Yes, yes", I pretended to be embarrassed and nodded, "You also know that the laws of our British Empire are strict, and we businessmen have more or less social face, so we can only come to us to find an opportunity. β
"Ouch," said the head of the bazaar, smiling even more obscenely, patting me on the shoulder, "brother, your taste is not only unique, but also quite heavy, okay, for the sake of your cigarettes, if there are more students in the future, I will definitely keep it for you." By the way, if you really can't wait, you can go to the little red mansion on the island, and I sold those two female students there last time. β
The more we talked, the more dirty it became, and the market leader barely had any useful information in his mouth, so we hurried out of the slave market.
The students on the ship weren't sold to the slave bazaar, so where did they go? The rum on the ship is gone, and who removed it? It stands to reason that those students have no relatives on this island, and the only few companions are either sold to the Fengyue Place, or they are sold into slavery, and they should not be able to go anywhere with so much rum.
"Otherwise, let's go to the little red mansion first, those students may be planning to use rum to save their companions." Uncle Wei suggested on the side.
"Well," I nodded, "it's also possible, and if that's the case, then those students are too naΓ―ve and deserve to be where they are now." β
Since ancient times, no matter where it is, no matter how large the Fengyue place is, it is generally filthy, so I decided to let Xiaoka, Uncle Wei and Lin Ruyi, the bearded man go back to the boat first and wait, Xiaoka is because he is young or don't be polluted by these things, and more importantly, to avoid meeting a fat girl again, Uncle Wei is because of an old comrade, and he can't stand too strong sensory stimulation, not to mention Lin Ruyi, a girl will doubt life when she goes to that kind of place.
After everything was explained, before parting, Lin Ruyi suddenly asked me: "You just told the head of the market that you are good, which one is it?" β
"Didn't this damn girl ask knowingly! The reason why I said that just now was not entirely a temporary expedient measure, how could she be as sensitive as Su Yuliu. I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say that, so I touched her head and said, "I'll kiss you." After speaking, he kissed her lightly on the head, and Uncle Wei, Xiaoka and others on the side rolled their eyes for a while, and they almost didn't spit out.
