Section 299 Finding a clue

"This~" Piri broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, but he knew how terrible the combined power of the Hercules family and the Stephen family was, and it was definitely not something that his family could resist, but he was afraid that even his teacher Abraham might not be able to protect him, after all, the power of the Chaos Duchy was too far worse than that of the Griffin Kingdom. www.biquge.infoBesides, Catherine is more favored than herself, and her fiancé is also involved in this matter, and if she is implicated, I am afraid that even Abraham will not face him.
As soon as he thought of that serious consequence, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "This matter has nothing to do with us, those barbarians bought it from others!"
"Who sold it to you?" asked the old evil angrily.
When Piri heard this, he hurriedly turned his face to the other person and asked, "Go and find out, who sold those barbarians to us!"
"Master Piri, please don't forget. The customer's information is confidential, and we can't leak it casually! In that case, we won't have any business in the future!" That person obviously didn't know how powerful the old evil was, so he was still unhurriedly preparing to knock the old evil with this.
Piri was so angry with him that his face turned green, he snapped directly, slapped the other party to the ground, and then scolded angrily: "Fuck the secret, hurry up and check it for Lao Tzu, if you delay it, I will destroy your whole family!"
When the man saw that Piri was really playing, he was immediately frightened, hurriedly got up, and said tremblingly: "It's not that I don't want to check, in fact, I made this transaction, those people didn't leave anything, and the check was in vain!"
"Damn!" Piri kicked him in anger and scolded angrily, "Don't you dare to accept any information without any information, and you're not afraid of trouble?"
You must know that slaves bought and sold in the slave market, according to the regulations, must have legal identification, if not, it means that the other party is not a slave, as a free person, no one can buy and sell. This is also an obstacle set up to prevent those lawless guys from grabbing and buying and selling.
Of course, the so-called countermeasures and policies are only superficial, and many times, the slave market does not care about this. After all, the most profitable orc slaves were almost all captured by slave traders from orc territory, and they didn't have any identification.
Piri naturally knew what was wrong with this, but now that he was guarding such an outsider as Lao Xie, he couldn't say that he was also doing something illegal, so he pretended to be angry, and while scolding the other party for knowing the law and breaking the law, he punched and kicked him, and put on an innocent appearance.
The old evil naturally saw Piri's hypocrisy at a glance, but now was not the time to care about this, he first put on Piri, stopped him from beating him, and then asked: "Tell me about the transaction with them that day!"
"Yes!" The guy also understood from Piri's attitude that the old evil could not be provoked, so he hurriedly said respectfully: "It was nearly a month ago, a guy suddenly came to me and said that he wanted to sell me 30 barbarian slaves, and all of them were masters above the third level. You know, this kind of vindictive talent is very strong, and the price is high, so I was blinded by lard for a while, so I agreed!"
"What does that guy look like, did he come to you on his own?" the old evil continued.
"He's about 40 years old, he's burly, he looks like he's been trained, but he's very ordinary-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he can't find it in the pile anyway!" the guy then said, "Plus, he brought an entourage." ”
"Then can you tell where he is from the accent of his speech, the gestures of giving a salute, the way he talks, and other details?" the old evil suddenly asked.
After the old evil asked this, Piri's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but be impressed by the old evil's carefulness.
And the guy also seemed to understand something, first carefully recalled, and then said: "His accent is like that of a person from the Principality of White Bird, he moves quickly and powerfully, and his voice is loud and crisp, not like a businessman at all, but like a soldier! ”
Although there is a white bird principality, the old evil is not naïve enough to think that this is a clue, after all, this guy is from a place, and it doesn't mean that the person he is serving now is still there. This alone is not enough to identify the killer.
So the old evil continued to ask, "Do you still have any impression of the various badges on their bodies?"
"No, it's strange, they don't have any markings, they seem to have been taken off deliberately, even the carriage is on temporary loan from us. The guy said.
"And how did you trade?" asked the old demon.
"It was to negotiate the price during the day, and then they would send the people in a wagon by moonlight at night, and after we had verified that it was correct, we paid the money on the spot. The guy said.
"It's really simple!" said the old evil lightly: "Then, they must have chosen to deliver at night, also to better hide themselves, right?"
"It should be!" said Piri, nodding.
"Very good!" the old evil smiled coldly, and then said, "Then the time for your delivery should not be short, right?"
"Half an hour!" the guy said hurriedly.
"Very well, how much of your contact with them during this time?" asked the old demon.
"There are more than a dozen, right?" the guy hurriedly said, "After all, they are big customers, and we can't let them wait, we have to send water, tea, and some forage for their horses." ”
"Very good!" When the old evil heard this, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly said, "Go and call all these people!"
Piri didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave the guy a look and said, "Go and call, remember, no one is missing!"
Of course, the man understood at once, and hurried out in a hurry.
In a short time, more than a dozen people were brought over, including grooms, maids, and accountants.
The old evil didn't talk nonsense, took out the money bag directly from his arms, and then poured the dozens of gold coins inside on the table in front of him. Suddenly, the golden light made those people's eyes straighten.
Seeing their expressions, of course the old evil was very satisfied, so he smiled and said: "Everyone, the time has come for you to get rich, a month ago, you received a group of guys who sold dozens of barbarians, it was at night, you should all have an impression, right?"
"Yes~" They all nodded.
"Very good!" the old evil then immediately said, "Then, whoever can tell me where they come from, I will give them ten gold coins!"
For these people, ten gold coins is a huge amount of money, and they may not be able to earn these for several years, so when they hear the number of the old evil's bounty, they can't help but drool. In order to get the money, they then used their brains and thought about it carefully.
The old evil did not rush to force them, but prompted: "You can be inspired by the accent of their speech, the names of places mentioned in their conversations, the emblems on their bodies, and even the habit of drinking tea." ”
"Ah, yes, I remember!" the groom-like man cried out first, "they were riding their own horses that day, and although the saddle was new from us, I saw their horseshoe, which was badly worn, but I could vaguely tell from the shape that it was a special horseshoe of the Shiratori [***] side." ”
"Ha, it's the White Bird Principality again!" The old evil finally became vigilant this time, but this was not enough, after all, horses could also be sold, so he first threw ten gold coins to the groom, and then continued to ask: "Do the others have any clues? A sentence is worth ten gold coins, except for today, you don't want to encounter such a good thing for the second time in your life!"
"I have it too!" A maid suddenly stood up and said: "This young master, I am the person in charge of serving tea, I found that these people don't add sugar when they drink tea, and the white sugar I specially prepared has not been moved, and the habit of drinking tea without sugar is more popular in the area of the White Bird Principality!"
"Very good!" the old evil didn't talk nonsense, and threw another ten gold coins over. As soon as they saw that she had gotten the money, the other maids were envious, and at the same time regretted why they didn't say it first.
At this time, the accountant suddenly stood up, rubbed his hands and smiled: "This young master, if you can give more specific information, I wonder if I can get double copies?"
"Hehe, say it, if you satisfy me, don't say double portions, it doesn't matter if it's all for you!" said with a smile.
"Ah, you're so generous. In that case, I'll say it!" the fellow then immediately said, "That's right, that day, I took three people to get the money, and when I got some gold coins, one of the talkative fellows, as if he was too excited, couldn't help but whisper, 'Wow, brothers, this money is enough for us to be happy in Merida for a year!' Although the man's voice was not loud, I heard him, and his companion seemed to know that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and slapped him hard to shut him up. ”
