CP145 Don't tell the truth? Truth-spitting treats
As one of the ports connecting with the outside world, the wharf of Changhu Town is filled with merchants from all over the world, and local fishermen also use this place as their base camp, as if the town is transporting all kinds of fresh ingredients. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Merchants are taxed on their goods, and fishermen are required to pay management fees. Although the dock is not very large, the position of managing this place is obviously a fat gap.
Bablog is the caretaker of the docks in Long Lake, and in terms of ability, he is just a ruffian who can't get on the stage, but who let him have a beautiful sister? Toefl's illicit relationship between his sister and the mayor of the town, and his invisible brother-in-law also got a lot of benefits from the mayor.
At this time, Bablog, wrapped in a thick winter coat, was 'patrolling' the docks—not to see if there were any suspicious people who might threaten the peace, but to watch the fishermen's catches and get some good food for their dinner.
Every fisherman who passed by Bablog smiled at him, and without him opening his mouth, he offered to deliver one or two of the best fresh fish. In a matter of moments, Bablog had a dozen large fish in his net pocket, and he even received a large amount of filial piety from a smuggler who happened to have just arrived at the docks.
The harvest was very good, Bablog was in a very good mood, fantasizing that after eating and drinking enough at night, he could go to the wind-scratching dancer to enjoy it, fantasizing about the dancer's soft and delicate figure, his face unconsciously hung a ruffian smile, and his mouth also hummed an unbearable tune.
"Are you the steward of the docks?" Just as Bablog was thinking about it, a cold greeting interrupted his fantasy.
A little angry turned around, wanting to scold the comer, and then Bablog saw clearly who was disturbing his daydreams, and subconsciously swallowed the swear words back.
As a ninth-rate gangster, Bablog had been on the streets before his 'career', and he had more or less exercised some skills to recognize people, knowing what kind of people could be bullied by himself, and also knowing what kind of people he would never provoke.
The group of people in front of him is the object that he must not provoke - although there are only six of them, which is not a lot in number, but it includes elves, dwarves, and humans, such a composition is rare in Long Lake Town. Aside from the unusual composition of the personnel, each of them does not look simple, whether it is the protective gear they wear or the weapons they wear, it does not look like a bargain that can be bought everywhere.
Special, it means that the origin is not small.
"Yes, I'm the caretaker here, just call me Bablog. Is there anything I can do to help? Before, he was laughed at by the fishermen, but now, Bablog changed his face to flattery, and smiled at the person who asked the question.
"We're looking for someone, his name is Bud, I heard he's a fisherman, do you know him?" Although he didn't like the smile of the person in front of him very much, and he could see that he was not a good person, in order to avoid side complications, Chu Xiaobai still endured his temperament and asked Bablog gently.
There are dozens of fishermen in the town who make a living from fishing, and if Chu Xiaobai said another name, Bablog would definitely tell him what he knew as soon as possible, but the person he asked at this time was Bad, which made Bablog hesitate.
As a thug who relies on nepotism to rise to power, Bablog knows that his good life depends on his cheap brother-in-law who holds the position of mayor of the town. If the mayor can't keep his position, then he, the dock manager, will definitely not be able to do it, and there is even a possibility that after he steps down, he will be retaliated by those fishermen.
Bard is precisely the one who could threaten the mayor's position. Although he is now so down-and-out that he has to make a living from fishing, he is after all a descendant of the Lord of Riverdale, Jillian, and with this background alone, he can gain the support of many townspeople, and with the help of outside forces, he really has a good chance of replacing the current mayor.
These people in front of you all look like big shots, maybe they are the outside forces that can help Bard? If you give them the right direction and get them to meet with Bud, you might get in trouble for Mayor Mare's 'brother-in-law'. If the mayor's 'brother-in-law' steps down, then his good days will definitely come to an end, and even if the mayor's 'brother-in-law' does not step down, he who has led the way for his hostile forces may also be hated by the mayor's 'brother-in-law' and lose his current position.
They must not be given directions. His eyes rolled a few times, and Bablog had already figured out the joints: "Bud? I don't quite know. As far as I know, there should be no fishermen with that name in the town. Perhaps, my lord, you misremembered his profession? ”
If it had been someone else, he might have been fooled by Bablog's answer.
Chu Xiaobai, who has watched the original movie, will not be deceived by Bablog's lame lies. In fact, even if you haven't seen the movie, you can see from the ghostly expression on Bablog's face when he answers questions.
"No, you know him, you just don't want to tell us." Originally, he didn't like the slippery-looking guy in front of him, but now, he dared to lie and create obstacles to the actions of his group, which made Chu Xiaobai even more unhappy. Too lazy to be polite to him again, Chu Xiaobai directly exposed his lies.
Hearing Chu Xiaobai's words, feeling the affirmation in his tone, Aragorn, Balin, and Tao Lier, who had already been deceived, all showed angry expressions. As for Thorin, who was even more hot-tempered, he had even removed the axe from his back by this time, and he had a big look: 'Are you insulting labor and management?' Labor and management will hack you to death now's momentum.
Bullying the weak and fearing the hard is a common trait of gangsters, and Bablog is no exception. However, in order to keep his good life, he actually held on, and was not crushed by the momentum exuded by the few people in front of him.
Bablog even fought back - grabbing Thorin from the handle of his weapon, he began shouting loudly at several soldiers on the docks.
A few soldiers who are not in the stream, even if they send a half-grown child Aragorn, can easily defeat them. However, if the matter gets bigger, it will still be a little inappropriate, and it may even hinder the next action plan. So, after seeing Bablog's actions, Chu Xiaobai unconsciously frowned.
"Leave it to me." At this time, Toril took the initiative to stand up.
Greeted a few soldiers who surrounded him, and put them on the ground by dividing them by two, and then, Toriel took out a token, held it in his hand like a defeated soldier and the surrounding onlookers to reveal his identity: "I am Toriel, the leader of the royal capital guard of the Elven Kingdom, not the dangerous element he said." In addition, we only wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of a person, not to do anything bad...... ”
Bablog, who was powerful on the docks, was already unpopular, and the soldiers came only because they were worried that he would find a posterior. And now, Toriel has revealed her identity, regardless of whether her identity is true or not, at least she has given others an excuse not to interfere.
The soldiers did not attack again after they got up, and the fishermen and merchants watched the excitement from the sidelines, and even a few people who had been bullied were already secretly smiling.
"Bablog, what else do you have to do? Let's use them all. "The trouble is solved, it's time to turn back to Bablog's trouble, grab him by the collar, lift him up with a light lift of the internal force, and lift him up. Staring at his increasingly panicked eyes, Chu Xiaobai asked in a deep voice again.
"My lord, ahem~." The collar was choked around his neck, and Bablog's voice was a little muffled.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from Chu Xiaobai's hands, his face became redder and redder, and his breathing became more and more rapid, and in the end, Bablog had no choice but to give up resistance, patting Chu Xiaobai's arm while begging for mercy.
Pursed the corners of his mouth in disdain, he threw Bablog on the wet ground. After he took a few big breaths and relieved his stuffiness a little, Chu Xiaobai squatted down and stared at him tightly: "Say~." ”
"Bud, ahem, Bud lives in a hut on the west side of town, and there's a big tree ...... in front of his house." It seemed that he couldn't bear Chu Xiaobai's eyes, and it seemed that he really didn't have the strength, Bablog lowered his head and gave an answer.
"No, he's lying to ......." After listening to Bablog's answer, Chu Xiaobai was just about to stand up. Suddenly, a crisp voice came from the side.
Turning his head, he saw a little child being dragged back by his mother with his mouth covered. Even if it was just a glance, Chu Xiaobai saw the panic in the woman's eyes and the honesty in the eyes of the child.
After a little thought, I understood what was going on.
Squatting down again, grabbing Bablog's collar again, Chu Xiaobai's face was very unhappy: "It seems that you are planning to go all the way to the dark?" Well, since you're so uncooperative, don't blame me. ”
"No, what do you want to do? No, I said, I said ....... His lie was exposed by a child, and Bablog wanted to go back and trouble the family. But now, seeing Chu Xiaobai's expression and feeling the force coming from the collar, he really panicked.
"It's too late, do you think I'll still believe you?" Ignoring Bablog's struggle and begging for mercy, Chu Xiaobai flipped his palm, and a small bottle appeared in his palm. Then, under Bablog's panicked gaze, while loosening his collar, he gently pinched his jaw, and while he unconsciously opened his mouth, this small bottle of potion was poured into his mouth by Chu Xiaobai.
"Okay, let me ask you, where is Bud's home?"
"The Bard family lives in the north-central part of the town, at the intersection of three waterways, and the door of his house faces the north, where they can see the boardwalk that connects to the shore and the lonely mountain ...... to the north." Obviously he was still resisting in his heart, but he honestly said the correct answer, and this strange situation made Bablog almost scared: "You, what did you give me to drink?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a bottle of truth spitting."
