Chapter 130 Planting Spies
Caught Wood, a big fat man, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't waste it. If you want to maximize Wood's value, of course, you must find out all about Wood's identity and background. As soon as the battle was over, Sholin sent a few clever warriors to catch up with Izuk on horseback. As a sharp tool for detecting the enemy situation and surveying the terrain, the Polaroid camera night owl is naturally equipped. As soon as Igic looked at the photo, he knew that Wood was the sworn enemy who had always opposed him and relied on his sister to ascend to power.
The most valuable information of this is that Igcik's sister is the woman of the son of Charlie's most trusted old butler, and may even be his fiancΓ©e. It seems that this relationship is a bit winding and has no effect. But when it comes to it, Wood and Charlie aren't that far apart. Charlie is not a military saint like Sun Bin who has been famous for the ages, and he is not a dedicated Zhuge Kongming in political affairs. Usually there are a lot of things, so naturally you need to talk to someone.
And some complaints, some dissatisfaction, will also be revealed in front of close people. And this intimate person may be a relative, or a lover, but this old housekeeper must be one of them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become Charlie Mill's chief butler, a personal person. These, naturally, were also found out by Igsick, the head snake of Boston.
Since the establishment of a hostile relationship with Charlie Mill, the company had to find out all the movements of the British. The most important thing is to find out Charlie's arrangements and plans. However, since suffering three losses in a row at the hands of the company, Charlie has learned to be obedient and has done a very good job of keeping information secret. The spies sent by the company could not enter Charlie's closest circle at all, and they could not get any valuable information at all.
Even, some families who had dealings with the company were excluded by Charlie without any notice at all. Originally, the colony had more than 50,000 troops, and it was used to fight the Yanhuang Trading Company, and there was no chance of winning by mobilizing 30,000 companies. However, he only relied on the nearly 20,000 troops in his hands, and he also tried his best to waste money and transferred 30,000 Hessian mercenaries from Europe.
If it weren't for the fact that the French were now more threatening, I am afraid that at least 30,000 elite troops would have come to the company's territory to attack. In order to prevent the company from being unable to know Charlie's arrangements in the future, resulting in the company's lack of preparation and huge losses, it is necessary to buy off a person close to Charlie and at least obtain approximate intelligence information. And Wood's identity can be used completely. The old butler's son is a playboy, and Wood, relying on connections and money, is sure to get some news from him.
There is no need for the old housekeeper's son to take the initiative to investigate. This man is a gossip when he is old, and he is not specially trained in secrecy, nor is he able to keep it. Although the old butler is a professional butler trained by the big family, Charlie is not a very important person in the Mill family when he meets the old butler. When he was sent to the colony, there was a little bit of exile for him.
This also means that the old butler is not the outstanding type of housekeeper cultivated by the Mill family at the beginning, and is even the last echelon person. Charlie later struggled on his own, so that the Mill family gradually saw his value, and gradually increased their investment, putting him in the position of governor of the colony. And the old housekeeper did not return to the furnace for training, and the Mill family, it should be said that the current British, almost did not have this concept.
Although I also know that I can't go out and talk nonsense, but chatting with my son at home will also be unnaturally a little bit. Even the excuse Shawlin helped Wood think about it, that is, knowing Charlie's arrangement in advance, there will be more loopholes to exploit, and there will be more opportunities to make money. Next, it's up to Wood to see if he deserves it. Shawlin felt that Wood had to be cleaned up before he could be bribed.
Under the guidance of Shawling's thinking, Wood was able to clean up miserably along the way. For a whole week, I got up earlier than the chickens, slept later than the dogs, and although I didn't lack food or clothing, I had to do heavy work every day, riding a fully loaded three-wheeled bicycle. The warrior with the night owl sitting on both sides, the slightest notice of his crooked mind is a slap. Wood was so remorseful that his bowels were blue, and he didn't know if he had been blinded by lard and dared to provoke such a terrible enemy.
Fortunately, a week later, when he passed the last gathering point of the British, Wood's miserable life was over. When he was brought into Shawlin's marching tent by the two warriors, an interrogation was already waiting for him in the tent. In the 21st century police interrogation room, Wood was pressed into a chair that was fixed to the floor, and the handcuffs tied his hands and feet to the chair. As soon as Shawlin moved the lamp, a bright light hit Wood's face.
Wood, who had been busy all day, was illuminated by the bright light, and most of his drowsiness disappeared. There was a long silence, there was no sound in the tent, and Schorin and a few warriors exuded their momentum with all their might, staring at Wood viciously. Wood was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he thought he was going to be killed. Seeing the dripping appearance of the big man Wood, Xiao Lin finally opened his mouth.
"Little fat man, I heard that the son of the old butler next to Charlie Mill is your brother-in-law. β
"Oh, you're talking about Governor Charlie, yes, yes, you're not wrong. β
"Little fat man, you know who we are now, right?"
"Naturally, I know. β
"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, there is no room for turning in circles between us and Charlie Mill, you are close to Charlie, and we are naturally enemies. Besides, you took the initiative to offend us this time, and now there are only two paths in front of you, this one, we will kill you, throw the corpse wherever you want, and then never care anymore......"
"I'll pick two, I'll pick two!"
Before Xiao Lin could finish speaking, Wood, who was afraid of death, had already answered first. Wood was originally a businessman, and his life was not easy when he was a child, but he finally got out of the way, and his family had a better life, and he also had several lovers, two of whom were aristocratic ladies he couldn't think of before. This good day has not been long in coming, if he dies, he believes that these things will be snatched away by Charlie, and his in-laws will be ruthless.
So, he had to live. Even after a week's hard work, he didn't think about looking for death and life, that's why. Rather than annoyed, Shawlin was happy with Wood's performance. A person who is greedy for life and afraid of death is the best to control.
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. These two are just to do things for me, I need you to get Charlie's information from your brother-in-law, other than that, I don't want you, I don't care about your business, and I don't want money. And, as long as the information is valuable, I will also have a generous monetary reward. β
"This ......"
"I believe that you have paid a lot of price for your business to this point. At least the general proceeds were handed over, I don't know how much Charlie Mill took it?"
"Well, forty percent, my brother-in-law took a layer. β
"Yes, if you think about it, whether it is buying goods, raising slaves, or running sales, or negotiating business, they have not contributed much. It is to provide you with protection and deter competitors. You have to take care of those soldiers, these are their hands, and there is no cost at all to order the army, but to divide half of your income. β
"I ......"
Xiao Lin's words seemed to be magical. Wood hadn't felt it before, but now he realized that he was also resentful of taking out half of his income. All the costs are paid by him, the bigger the business, the more slaves he enters, and the more little brothers he raises, the greater his costs. And the income, it's only half. From an unruly trafficker to the position of the number one triad leader in the British colonies, his income was only twice as much as before.
Although it is enough to consume, in fact, the level of luxury of life may not even be surpassed by a baron. The lovers of two aristocratic women were also married, and when the family was defeated, they would be raised by him. If he had the other half of his income, his life would even be able to leap to the level of a powerful earl. Because, that half is pure profit.
Leaning on Xiao Lin, although he can't get back the other half, he can generate income. For Yanhuang Trading Company, he naturally knows something. The company's products were very popular in the colonies, and the prices were still very expensive. If it weren't for the fear of annoying Charlie, he would have chosen to smuggle the company's goods. Therefore, he knew that the company must be very rich, and Xiao Lin said that there was a heavy reward, so naturally it would not be fake.
"This, I don't know how much money you can pay?"
"Hehe, don't worry, each piece of information is worth five thousand pounds, but it can't be filled with garbage information such as eating, drinking, and lazing, it must have enough value. Moreover, I can also buy the slaves in your hands for the same price as those in Izuk. If you want the company's goods, I can provide them to you. β
"Okay! I did it. β
After thinking about it, Woods felt that this thing could be done, and in order to ensure his life, he agreed. However, Xiao Lin did not finish the conditions. He's not stupid, what if he doesn't control Wood and returns to Boston and he doesn't admit it. Therefore, Xiao Lin directly called in the four elite fighters. They are the most clever people in the Night Stalkers, and they will be close to protect and spy on Wood in the future.
Wood could only agree, and Shawlin smiled, walked up to him, and began to uncuff the handcuffs. Suddenly, before Wood could react, he was stuffed with a pill by Xiao Lin.
"What's, what is this?"
"Hehe, since I know that I am an Indian, I naturally know that there is something magical in our hands. This is a medicine that contains scavengers on the inside and mud on the outside, which can make the scavengers go dormant, but only for a month. If you don't take the antidote next month, the scavenging insects will wake up and bite your internal organs, and I will put the antidote in their hands, as long as you do things well, the antidote will definitely be given to you on time. β
