Chapter 60: Hidden Sins, the Superior of the Slave Trade! (2-in-1)
The inspector sent by the Navy Headquarters to the 133rd branch of the Navy was none other than Kuzan, who had become a brigadier general.
In addition to the accompanying officers and soldiers of the headquarters, Ji Guoyuanyi also saw another acquaintance.
"Oh! Instructor Victor, you're here too. ”
The two officers and men who led the headquarters were commodore Kuzan, a commodore of the Navy headquarters. And the other person is the instructor of the naval school, Victor. They are all acquaintances of Jiguo Yuanyi and Cyrus.
"Yuanyi, what kind of guy am I? Why can't you be a censor? ”
"A guy like you can become a major, and I'm the censor, what's the problem?"
"You guy, you just came to Xihai for an apprenticeship, and you actually made such a big noise."
"Do you know that because of your relationship, Mr. Zefa has received a lot of criticism!"
Dressed in a white suit and dressed in a righteous coat, the pheasant slowly walked down from the boat. Seeing the spiritual Jiguo Yuanyi, the pheasant's face couldn't help but show a smile, but his smile turned away and turned to complain.
Victor followed the pheasant, stepped off the ship, smiled at Yuanyi and Cyrus, and remained silent.
"Criticism... Is it because of my promotion to major? ”
"Indeed, this kind of promotion should be unique in the navy."
Today's navy has not started the "world conscription". The promotion of the ranks of the navy needs to go up one level at a time, and it is impossible to have the situation of leaping from civilian to admiral in the future.
Jumping from a third-class soldier to a major like Ji Guoyuanyi is already a very amazing thing. Even though Ji Guoyuanyi killed 200 million sea thieves when he was in the Kingdom of Neil, he had the merit of protecting the members of the royal family.
Jumping to level 10 is still too appalling.
During the time when the pheasant set off for the West Sea, the news of Ji Guoyuanichi's promotion to lieutenant had spread in the Navy Headquarters.
Although it is an order from the Warring States General, Zefa, as the teacher of Jiguo Yuanyi, is also the current guardian of Jiguo Yuanyi, and Jiguo Yuanyi will have such a jump, and it is difficult for others not to think of Zefa's body.
Of course, the fact is that Zefa did intervene.
"If it's just you being promoted to major, there's not so much criticism."
"The biggest reason for the criticism is the things you do in the 133 branch."
"Just because of suspicion, arrest all the officers above the rank of lieutenant in the branch, to be honest, no one has done such a thing before you."
"This incident has a great impact, and for some reason, this matter has spread to other branches of the Navy, and the reactions of each branch are also very violent."
"Now there are people in the headquarters saying that Mr. Zefa spoils you too much, what do you say... The Navy is the Navy of all, not the Navy of some high-ranking individuals. ”
"If this matter is not handled well, the matter will be a big deal."
"Yuan one, 133 branches, will there be a problem? Did you investigate something!? ”
After the pheasant got off the boat, he paced to Jiguoyuanichi's side, and lowered his voice to talk to Jiguoyuanichi about some things about the headquarters. Hearing the pheasant's words, Yuan Yi could roughly imagine what kind of pressure Zefa was under.
Although with Zefa's status, it is impossible to be affected by these rumors. But it is conceivable that if the affairs of the branch are not handled well, Zefa's majesty in the navy will definitely be damaged.
Jiguo Yuanyi, who realized that Zefa was being attacked by public opinion, looked much more serious.
In the future, Roger only used one sentence to set off the terrible Age of Discovery. No matter what time it is, Ji Guoyuan will not underestimate the power of public opinion, this is an invisible knife that kills people.
"Let's go, let's go to the base first, I'll talk to you in detail. Before you came, I had been reining in the actions of the branch navy. ”
"There is no one to trust, and there are many pirates in the waters near the Kingdom of Mia, and Cyrus often needs to lead the team to attack."
"To be honest, I didn't even open the so-called investigation."
"However, Kuzan, one thing I am sure of is that there must be a lot of problems in the 133 branch."
While the two were talking, Ji Guoyuan and Pheasant walked towards the conference room of the naval base, and Victor listened to the conversation between Ji Guoyuan and Pheasant throughout the whole process, and his expression was always very calm.
When he followed the pheasant and Ji Guoyuan to the base, his eyes kept wandering on the sergeants of the branch, as if he was examining something.
The headquarters navy led by Pheasant arrived at the branch, and all the sailors patrolling and in charge of the prison in the branch were replaced by people from the headquarters.
Yuan Yi led Pheasant and Victor into the conference room, and after a few people sat down, Ji Guoyuan told Pheasant and Victor about what he encountered in the branch at first, and at the same time said some speculation about Ji Guoyuanyi.
From the two of them hiding their identities and stepping on the warship of Kane's return, to Yuanyi's suspicion of the missing "servants" on the ship, and then to the strange interception when they went to sea. No matter how big or small, the fate is told to the pheasant and Victor.
At the same time, in order to prove his words, Yuanyi also took Pheasant and Victor to board the patrol ship he was on before, and showed them the "scene" at that time.
Ji Guoyuan knew early on that the headquarters would come to investigate the matter, so Yuan Yi never cleaned up the "scene" on his patrol ship at that time.
When Yuan Yi took the pheasant and others to re-board the patrol ship, the strong smell of blood and corpses came to his face.
In more than ten days, the corpses had already begun to decompose.
However, this does not affect the pheasant's injury, after all, it is quite easy to tell whether the fatal injury is a sword wound or a gunshot wound. Moreover, the firearms that fired were also left at the scene, and it was not difficult to find out about this matter.
After inspecting the scene, the pheasant's expression was also much more relaxed after learning about the whole thing, and he also realized that this 133rd branch of the Navy may really have a big problem.
Although Zefa had already told him some things before he came, before he saw the scene, the pheasant's heart was a little apprehensive, not that he didn't believe in Jiguo Yuanyi, but that he felt that Jiguo Yuanyi might not be so reliable because of his young relationship.
However, Qing Pheasant didn't expect that what Ji Guoyuan did was quite orderly, although the approach was a little rougher, but relying on the existing things, it was indeed possible to start an investigation.
Soon, Pheasant took over all the affairs of the branch and began to review all the officers of the branch.
And it wasn't until the pheasant began to examine these officers that Ji Guoyuanyi was finally able to free up his hands and take a good look at the Luoluo Chamber of Commerce, which covered the entire Mia Kingdom with tentacles.
Yuan Yi didn't forget that the group of pirates he slaughtered at that time came with the order of the "president"!
...
"There will be a lot of great value in the future."
"Please pay attention and don't miss it!"
"So, let's take a look at the next item..."
This is the venue of a large-scale auction organized by the Luoluo Chamber of Commerce, and in the center of the venue, the host is holding a microphone, inciting people's emotions.
As the host spoke, the lights in the venue dimmed. In the center of the venue, a beam of light hit the stage in the center.
A crack cracked in the ground next to the host, and in the next second, the floor slowly parted, and the lifting platform held a huge cage, slowly rising.
"Sa! Check it out, everyone! ”
"Lot No. 6! It's five sturdy slaves! ”
"This is the best quality that our chamber of commerce has worked so hard to get! These guys are all sea thieves with bounties! ”
"In order to maintain peace in the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Mia, it took us a lot of effort to catch these people."
"Lot 6, five pirate slaves across the Western Sea!"
"The starting price, 5 million Bailey! All it takes is 5 million Bailey, these pirate slaves, you can pack and take them away! ”
"Sa! Start bidding! ”
As the host's voice fell, enthusiastic cheers rang out in the venue. It was clear that the stage was engaged in human trafficking, but the people participating in the auction were enthusiastic, and the cheers seemed to break through the roof of the venue.
"Some of the previous lots were normal, but now, the auction of slaves has begun?"
"Speaking of which, the Kingdom of Mia is a member of the World Government, right? Is it legal to auction slaves in all member countries? ”
In a corner of the auction venue, Ji Guoyuan, who was wearing regular clothes, clasped his hands in front of his chest, his back slightly against the back of the chair, looked at the "No. 6 lot" in the center of the venue with a calm expression, and asked his companions beside him.
"Basically, there is slavery in almost all countries. Once you become a slave, you become an object, and it is not surprising that it will appear at auction. ”
"There are also in Dressrosa, and a large part of the sword fighters who fight in the arena are slaves."
By Jiguo's side, Cyrus frowned slightly, as if he remembered something bad, and replied in a deep voice.
"Slaves, how did they come here?" Yuan Yi didn't have a deep understanding of the "slavery" in this world, and at this time, Cyrus seemed to have some understanding, and continued to ask.
But this time, it was not Cyrus who answered Jiguoyuanichi, but another person who sat next to Jiguoyuanyi.
"There are many ways to obtain slaves, some are sold as slaves by their families, some are the children of slaves, some are pirates caught by slave teams, and some are bought through buying and selling."
"What? Origin one, are you interested in slaves? ”
The pheasant sat down on the chair, looked at the center of the auction hall coldly, and asked in a deep voice. Today's Kuzan believes in "burning justice", and although he will not stop this kind of living trade from his position, the pheasant is blind to this kind of thing.
After this lot came up, the pheasant's face was a little ugly.
"How is that possible? I ask this, just to know what kind of slave is compliant and what kind of slave is not. ”
"Look at the 'honest' 'pirates' in the cage, no matter how I look at it, I can't see the appearance of thieves!"
Ji Guoyuanyi's words made both Pheasant and Cyrus look slightly stunned, and then both of them looked at the cage in the center of the venue.
Before Ji Guoyuan said this, the pheasant didn't pay too much attention, and after hearing this, the pheasant carefully looked at the five pirates in the cage at this time, and soon found some problems.
There is no murderous aura, these five pirates, none of them are murderous.
Pirates, what kind of people can be called pirates? Can a person who pursues freedom, seafaring adventure be called a pirate? In that case, wouldn't it be too glorifying of pirates? If such a person is a pirate, then is a person like Rolando also a pirate?
People who cross the seas and obtain resources by plundering and slaughtering are called pirates. And the people who can be called sea pirates have experienced countless battles large and small. Regardless of the strength or weakness, the murderous aura on his body is definitely very strong.
But at this time, the five "sea pirates" locked in the cage had no murderous aura at all, and they didn't look like pirates at all. Although the five slaves were all sturdy, there were no scars on their shirtless upper bodies.
"Yuanyi, what do you mean..."The pheasant touched his chin, and asked with his heart about this discovery.
"The breakthrough of the Luoluo Chamber of Commerce may be here."
"Let's go straight to it! I have a hunch that these five people will be able to give me the message I want. ”
As he spoke, Cyrus had already stood up with his long sword and was about to make a move, but when he stood up, he found that both Jiguo Yuanyi and Pheasant were sitting in their seats and looked at Cyrus with a strange expression.
And when Cyrus saw that the pheasant and Ji Guoyuan didn't move, he also scratched his head strangely and asked, "Didn't you shoot directly?" What are we waiting for? ”
Hearing this, the pheasant's breath stagnated, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Cyrus in disbelief, as if he had seen some strange species, seeing Cyrus's serious face, the pheasant finally sighed and said:
"A direct shot is a direct shot, but it's not now!"
"There are too many people, the impact is too great, I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry about it first."
"Wait a minute, after the auction is over, we'll do it, don't worry, it's too late, people won't run there."
"By the way, let's continue to see what else will be auctioned in the auction house, maybe, such 'pirates', they can't say for sure."
The pheasant tugged at the corner of Cyrus' coat and pulled him back to his seat.
At this point, the people who participated in the auction had already begun to bid.
Normally, the lowest price of an ordinary male human slave is 500,000 Baileys, and these five people will not exceed 3 million Baileys, but after the blessing of the name "Sea Pirate", the final transaction price reached 7 million Baileys.
After confirming the buyer, the lifting platform was slowly lowered, and the host looked down at the auction list in his hand, and suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Pay attention!"
"The next thing to be auctioned is the best in our auction!"
"Sa, come and see Lot 7!"
As he spoke, the spotlight hit the center of the venue, and the lifting platform, which had just fallen, slowly rose.
And on the lifting platform, there is a delicate pink cage, and inside the cage, a young woman is kept.
She was dressed in a long black dress, and her long snow-white hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
Her eyes were bright and focused, and there was a hint of wisdom in her deep dark eyes.
The woman has a handsome face, exudes an inexplicable independent atmosphere, her beauty is not the kind of charming beauty, but the kind of intellectual beauty, even if she is in a cage, her body still exudes a calm and unique temperament.
The appearance of female lots also pushed the atmosphere of the auction to a climax, and the excited cheers of the spectators instantly filled the entire venue.
"This man.... Why does it sound so familiar? ”
Jiguo Yuanyi's eyes fell on the woman in the cage, frowning slightly, he felt a strong sense of familiarity from the other party's body, but this familiarity, Yuanyi didn't know where it came from.
In the center of the venue, the host began to introduce the lots.
"This woman is not only beautiful, but she is also a scholar!"
"She's not the same as the mundane things you've ever seen, such a high-grade slave is very rare!"
"I don't need to say more, after you buy it, it's good to taste it yourself!"
"The starting price, 10 million Bailey!"
