It should be after the recent incident?

Don't?

Zhao Yan hurriedly said: "My lord, could it be the surname He......?"

"Shut up!" Wu Tiju was also confused.

He asked his students, "How much cargo is on board the Proji?" ”

"It's worth more than a thousand taels."

Wu Tiju breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not much." ”

"But there are 1,900 sacks of grain to be delivered to the official warehouse."

Wu Tiju said angrily: "Can't you finish it all at once? ”

“…… Students, students are wrong. ”

Wu Tiju paced back and forth a few times. The grain will be flooded, and even if some of the other goods can be salvaged back, this 1,900 bags of grain will really be lost.

However, this is still the grain purchased by the city, and it is ready to be handed over to the treasury to deal with the urging of Mu Guo.

Mu Guo also "bought" grain and grass from Qingguo, and it paid 200,000 taels of silver, and Qingguo had to send out grain with an actual value of more than 500,000 taels. Mu Guo urged for several months, and Qingguo also dragged his feet and did not get it together, and the City Shipping Division, as the richest port, undertook a large number of official purchase tasks.

Previously, Bailie also bought grain at Blade Harbor, which pushed up grain prices. The city department has the duty of leveling and determining, but it cannot be forcibly bought from foreign businessmen. This 1,900 bags of grain don't seem to be worth much, but it's also very troublesome to buy and ship them again.

The three of them looked at each other, their hearts swirling with suspicions, and they all thought about the same question:

Was the Yin Yu sent by the Lord of Hejima?

Wu Tiju asked Zhao Yanshi: "What do you see? ”

"The lower officials, the lower officials don't know." Just kidding, how dare he judge such a thing? "In the past, there were accidents when Yin Yu attacked merchant ships, and there were, and the most recent one seems to be the year before last?"

"There was a lot of fog at sea, and the ship strayed into the depths of the archipelago." Wu Tiju had a calm face, "The Baoji was attacked in the Westfjords, and it is not in the Yangshan Islands!" ”

Zhao Yan wanted to say something and stopped. This top boss just said that it is nonsense that the Lord of He Island can control the Yin Worm, and it is simply impossible.

Now, that thought has been shaken, right?

"So, I'm going to get the supervisor surnamed Ding and ask?"

Wu Tiju hesitated for a long time before shaking his head: "No, maybe it's really an accident." ”

Whoever comes first will bow his head.

How can there be nine out of ten stable boats on the sea? He has been doing this for more than ten years, and he has heard of at least dozens of major shipwrecks.

But he still explained to Zhao Yan: "If the surnamed Ding comes to be sent for inspection again, you bring him to me." ”

……

However, in the next two days, Ding Zuodong did not go to the city at all, but Wu Tiju had two more merchant ships attacked at sea.

It was also done by the Yin Yu, and it was also not in the Yangshan Islands, but near the Fishbone Reef and the Baosha Reef, and several merchant ships on the side saw it.

But the Yin Yu just didn't attack them, even if they swam past these merchant ships, they didn't pay attention, staring at the "Qingyu" and "Bailang", that is, the two ships that Wu Tiju lifted, and kept digging through them and dragging them into the deep water before they roared and left.

Everyone watched the live broadcast of the ship dismantling attentively at the scene, and this process lasted for more than half an hour.

Shipwrecks are not new, but Blade Harbor has been running for so many years, and it has long planned a route to avoid evil spirits and avoid the area where the shadows are active, and ships of all sizes have been walking well.

They avoided the evil star, but the evil star came directly to the door. This incident was simply incredible, so it quickly spread through the mouths of eyewitnesses in the streets and alleys of Blade Harbor, and it was also spread vividly, and even how the Yin Yu played the person who fell into the water was described with a nose and eyes.

The good man and the smart man soon found out that the three scuttled ships had one thing in common:

They are all from Wu Tiju's family.

The upper and lower nine streams of Daofeng Harbor all know that Wu Ti has a lot of money, especially a lot of ships.

It's all an open secret.

So when the merchants went to rent a ship again, they had to inquire whether it was Wu Tiju first, but if they had anything to do with it, they immediately shook their heads.

These messages were handed to Wu Tiju one by one, and he had no intention of being on duty at all.

Besides, he wasn't targeted, and he didn't believe it anymore. The strange eyes of the people around him also made him particularly unhappy.

He immediately set about to check it, and found that he still had fourteen ships running around the seas, five or six of which would be in and out of Blade Harbor in the near future.

His ships were always best to hire, with few free breaks.

This kind of advantage has become a sore foot at the moment.

Wu Tiju hurriedly informed the owner of the ship that he was not allowed to go to sea for the time being in the near future.

As soon as I got in touch, people said that all customers had to quit the lease.

What are you kidding, there are rumors outside that Yin Yu specializes in dealing with Wu Tiju's boat, how dare they rent it? How many people's lives are behind the sea cargo, and who is responsible for all the losses?

I'd rather not have a deposit for renting a boat, and I can't rent this boat!

Wu Tiju held his breath in his stomach, panicking.

When have you ever suffered such a loss?

But there are still two that are at sea and are about to return to Hong Kong, and Wu Tiju can't control them.

He really didn't understand: "There are so many ships at sea, how can the Yin Yu recognize my ship?" ”

The boss has a very bad temper these days, and even his breath is a little stinky, Zhao Baishi said cautiously: "Your ship has a mark on the bow, and the pirates can only let it go when they see it in the past." ”

In the past, no matter how reckless the pirates of the Yangshan Islands were, they would not rob the official ships and the ships of the city ship, otherwise they would attract the wrath of thunder.

These ships also simply marked their bows to alert pirates.

"Pirates?" Wu Tiju didn't care about his demeanor anymore, and slapped the table hard, "How can this be reasonable!" ”

The pirates of the Yangshan Islands were all subdued by He Lingchuan, which is already an ironclad fact. The secrets they knew, it was likely that He Lingchuan also knew.

Pirates and Yin Yu, aren't they connected together just a few big characters of "He Lingchuan did"?

This is revenge, this is blackmail, this is the threat of "if you don't give me accommodation, I will scuttle all your ships".

But he still had to give in, because He Lingchuan could really do it.

Wu Tiju closed the door and let out a burst of anger, even smashing his beloved teacup to pieces, before he called Zhao Yishi in again:

"You go to Ding, no, look for He Lingchuan and arrange a meeting for me!"

Zhao Yan trembled, and hurried out after answering.

But after only a dozen breaths, he hurriedly turned back again:

"My lord, Ding Zuodong has come to inspect the oil again."

Wu Ti raised his fists and stood up, his fists pinched until they turned white.

Zhao Yishi thought he wanted to beat someone, but in the end, the boss just gritted his teeth and said, "Bring him over!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yishi hurriedly ran out, and Wu Tiju slowly sat back in his chair.

He knew in his heart that the sinking of the three ships could only be regarded as a greeting gift, and if he didn't accept this level of "gift", then his Wu family would never go to sea in their lives; If you zoom in and see that if the Yin Yu starts to attack other ships on the golden route, will the merchants dare to cross the Blade Harbor in the future?

That would pose a substantial threat to the survival of Blade Harbor.

The kid surnamed He is very good at manipulating people.

……

Wu Tiju took the initiative to meet, and Ding Zuodong came quickly.

As soon as he entered the door, he clenched his fists and said, "Your Excellency! Heck, Lord Wu is busy with official business, and it's not easy to see you. ”

This is not a courtesy. The last time he asked to see Wu Tiju, the other party pushed and blocked him three times, dragged on for several days to see him, and sent him away without saying two words.

No matter how thoughtful his courtesy is, Wu Tiju is also smiling: "You and your master want to see me, there is always a way, isn't it?" ”

Ding Zuodong was stunned: "Huh? What do you mean by this? ”

"Do you know that Yin Yu attacked three merchant ships, Baoji, Qingyu, and Bailang, in the Westfjords and Baiqionghai?"

"A little heard, a little heard." Ding Zuodong sighed, "That's really a disaster." I don't know how the yin yin can leave the archipelago to make trouble. ”

Wu Tiju stared at him: "You really don't know? ”

Ding Zuodong was taken aback: "What you said! What the yin does thinks, how can the villain know? That's not human, and it's not human. ”

For so many years, almost no one could communicate with the Yin Yu...... Except for He Lingchuan.

Thinking of the legends of the pirates in Blade Harbor, Wu Tiju was indignant.

Zhao Yishi stood aside, knowing that it was time for him to open his mouth: "Isn't your master known as the lord of goodness, and even the Yin Yu can be dispatched?" ”

"Lord Wu Mingjian, how can there be such a thing!" Ding Zuodong looked terrified, "Yin Yu has been doing my own thing in the archipelago for many years, and even the immortals can't clean them up; My master is also a mortal in the flesh, how can he have that ability? ”

Reasonably, there is nothing wrong with this.

Zhao asked again: "Didn't your master sign an agreement with Yin Yu?" The pirates of the archipelago boasted about it in the taverns of Blade Harbor with a sip of wine and meat. "It's hard for others to hear it.

"No, no!" Ding Zuodong waved his hand again and again, "They listen to the wind and rain, what can they know?" There is no pirate I've ever seen who doesn't love nonsense. ”

"So how do you explain that the evil spirit of many islands in the archipelago has faded?"

Ding Zuodong said with a smile: "That's because my master is familiar with geography and found that the time and scope of the eruption of the earth's evil yin veins have changed. My master said that this thing is also like the tide, with ups and downs, tensions and shrinks. He had studied them all thoroughly, knew which islands he could go up and which ones he couldn't, and to outsiders it seemed as if he could drive away evil. ”

Seeing that the topic had diverged, Wu Tiju secretly scolded Zhao for being a "useless thing", so he had to ask in person:

"The Shadow Bird attacks the ships of Hong Kong, and Blade Harbor cannot sit idly by! Since your master has studied the archipelago thoroughly, tell me why the Yin Yu left the waters of the archipelago and why he attacked the sea vessels. ”

Blade Harbor can't sit idly by? Obviously, Wu Tiju was heartbroken, and his ship sank and ran away. Ding Zuodong sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he wanted to be serious:

"My master believes that Yin Qi is born by relying on evil qi, and is more sensitive to changes in the earth's evil yin veins and the reduction of evil qi, which may indeed cause them to change their temperament and become more aggressive." Ding Zuodong said slowly, "Things are not normal, they change from time to time, my lord." ”

He couldn't admit that Yin Yu's attack on the sea ship was ordered by He Lingchuan. That's not coercion, that's the truth, it's revenge.
