Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Pirate's Den

After the negotiation did not go well, why bother and his entourage returned to Guangzhou, the biggest gain of this trip was that the Francosian said that there were many pirates lurking in the Donglaodao Village in Guangzhou, and after seeing the boss Wang Hong, why bother to cry and elaborate on the details of the negotiations, the boss Wang Feng was also prepared, this group of Francos even the officials of Guangdong dared to fight, and now they had to crack down on the pirates first to alleviate the grievances.

Wang Feng didn't trust this group of pirates: "Now we still have to confirm whether the news given by Franco is true, how many pirates are hidden in Donglao Island Village, and only after finding out clearly can we send troops to fight pirates." ”

Su Xiaolou nodded, although it is very likely that the Francos and the pirates will collapse and want to borrow our hands to teach the pirates a lesson, but we still have to find out the situation ourselves so as not to hurt the innocent.

Many of the pirates along the coast of Guangzhou are poor fishermen who live in poverty, and they go to sea to become pirates when they can't survive, and they usually disguise themselves as poor villagers, and they become pirates who do evil after going to sea, which is also the reason why pirates in Guangdong have been difficult to crack down on for so many years, which requires a smart and clever person to find out the news.

Speaking of being smart and clever, why bother to look at Su Xiaolou with Master Wang, Su Xiaolou is not only smart and clever, he is simply slippery, like a loach.

The two had a tacit understanding of the sugar-coated cannonball at Su Xiaolou: "This Xingwang's vision is really good, Su Xiaoqi is not only handsome, but also well-informed, shrewd and capable, sensitive and studious, and has the talent to help the world and save the people. ”

"I don't ......"

"Su Xiaoqi not only has the talent to help the world and save the people, but also has the worries of the world before and the joy of the world after tomorrow, how can he see the people along the coast of Guangzhou in dire straits, he will definitely not refuse."

"You ......"

"The old man first mentioned that the people of Guangzhou thanked Su Xiaoqi, and after this matter passed, the old man will play the credit of Su Xiaolou in the imperial court."

The two sang and harmonized, not giving Su Xiaolou the slightest chance to refuse, Su Xiaolou sighed and shook his head helplessly: "I can go, but Zhende Xiu has to go with me." "Su Xiaolou is not stupid, this is tantamount to a sheep entering a wolf's den, you have to pick a master just in case.

"No problem." Why bother to see that Su Xiaolou agreed, and sold Zhendexiu to Su Xiaolou very happily.

……

The next day, the sky was white, Su Xiaolou and Zhen Dexiu rushed to Donglaodao Village, passed a makeshift breakfast shop, tied the horse to a tree on the side of the road, asked for a bowl of porridge and cakes, and the two sat on a small bench on the side of the road to eat.

Su Xiaolou chatted with the boss: "Little brother, how far is it from Donglao Island Village!" ”

"It's not far away, it's almost five miles away!"

The little brother spoke in a thick Cantonese accent, and Su Xiaolou had to go through it in his heart in Yingtian's words to understand what the little brother said again.

"Little brother, have you ever been to Donglao Island Village?"

"Don't dare to go, there's an axe gang over there, it's scary, I advise you not to go, let's take a detour!"

"Little brother, have you heard of me? People gave me the nickname 'Huoyun Evil God', and when they met me, they were going to change their name to the Xiatou Gang. ”

Zhen Dexiu thought about all the killers and martial arts swordsmen he knew, and he had never heard of any Huoyun Evil God: "Su Xiaoqi, the title of 'Huoyun Evil God' is not famous in the rivers and lakes!" ”

After a full meal, Su Xiaolou and Zhendexiu walked away and went to Donglao Island Village, the entire Donglao Island Village lives near the sea, and there are scattered fishing boats on the seaside, and the two of them just entered the village and were blocked by a man, who looked at the two: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

"We are a restaurant in the county, and I heard that the quality of your aquatic products here is very good, so I came to have a look."

The man was about thirty years old, with tanned skin, tendons and flesh, and a pair of small eyes looked at Su Xiaolou vigilantly: "Which restaurant?" ”

"Eat at the Sifang Restaurant."

"Why haven't you heard of this restaurant?"

The vigilance is quite strong, Su Xiaolou saw that the man stopped in the middle of the road without the slightest intention of getting out of the way, and knew that if it was unprofitable, this person would definitely not let them in, so he casually said nonsense: "We are from Nanjing, and we want to open a branch in Guangzhou, we have just opened the store in the past two days, and it has not yet opened, and the eldest brother definitely doesn't know, but the financier behind us is the second richest man in Jiangnan, the Shen family, the eldest brother can go and inquire, as long as there are good things, no matter how high the price is, you can afford it." ”

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "You wait a while." ”

Leaving Su Xiaolou and the two of them to leave by themselves, after a while they called two or three middle-aged men over, and one of them stood up and said: "I, the village chief of Donglaodao Village, the quality of our seafood here is the best in this sea area, and you can't find anything better than us anywhere else, what kind of aquatic products do you want?" ”

"Let's collect some sea cucumbers, shrimp and the like first! We eat Sifang Restaurant only entertain VIPs, don't have bad quality! ”

"Then you come with me to the warehouse to inspect the goods!" The village chief led Su Xiaolou and the two of them to the warehouse where aquatic products were stored in the village, and before they got closer, a strong fishy smell wafted out, and the stomach churned, Su Xiaolou couldn't help but walk into the warehouse.

Several large boxes filled with water on the ground are full of dense black sea cucumbers, with a shiny luster, each of them is very fat, the smallest one is about fifteen centimeters, and the big one can even reach more than thirty-five centimeters, Su Xiaolou is also the first time to see such a big sea cucumber, but when you look at it, you know that it is a good sea cucumber, these sea cucumbers are all alive, and they are still messing around with chrysalis, this picture of Zhen Dexiu's scalp is numb, and he retreats straight, Su Xiaolou also didn't expect Zhen Dexiu to be an eight-foot man, a master of Jinyi Wei, to be so timid.

There are a few large sealed boxes in the innermost, which are covered with straw, and Su Xiaolou was stopped just as he wanted to go inside: "There are no sea cucumbers in it, don't go forward." ”

Those strong men have been following the two of them like stinky fart candy, monitoring their every move, the two of them can't go anywhere else at all, after Su Xiaolou and Zhen Dexiu glanced at each other, both sides understood that they had to get rid of this group of stinky fart candy as soon as possible.

Zhen Dexiu covered his mouth and nose, pretended to be very uncomfortable and ran outside to vomit, and immediately someone followed him out, and he really followed closely.

Su Xiaolou took out a small yellow croaker from his arms and threw it to the village chief arrogantly: "Your sea cucumbers are uneven, I have just said, we only need to be of the highest quality, you pick out the best sea cucumbers, I will take five catties to our owner to see the goods, if our owner is satisfied, we will buy from you in the future." ”

The village chief nodded again and again, asked the remaining two people to pick up the sea cucumber, and asked Su Xiaolou to go to the nearby village to rest first, Zhen Dexiu went for so long and didn't come back, the village chief began to be suspicious, and sent two strong men to check, Su Xiaolou is now being stared at, and can only rely on Zhen Dexiu to find out the news.
