Chapter 28 Smugglers

"Huh?" Locke frowned and looked carefully, the faces of the squatting people were covered with black spots smeared with plaster, their hair was yellow, they should not have been washed for a few days, they were wearing shabby gray cloth clothes, and they looked unkempt, and they really couldn't see the appearance of women.

Gulas smiled flatteringly, "This is a gang of second-class dealers, when the city was broken, I saw these people sneaky, so I took the brothers to serve them, but I didn't expect it to be a big fish, No, those boxes are full of their goods, there are a lot of good things!"

Only then did Locke realize that there was an unwritten rule that the brothers at the bottom of the group had obtained a large amount of private goods was to hand over fifty percent, twenty percent to the battalion, thirty percent to the squadron leader, and the rest to be divided equally among themselves. The reason why there is such a rule is because of a large number of seizures, and the soldiers have no channel to get out, even if there are channels, secretly occupying such a large fortune will cause a rift between the soldiers and the commander, so there is this kind of rule.

However, Locke had rarely heard of underground soldiers snatching large quantities of goods before, those merchants and wealthy people who had the ability had already run away before the arrival of the army, and those who were not able would also be targeted by the baron's cavalry squadron, the baron connived at the soldiers to make their own money, but he would not condone the soldiers to make money in their own money bags, if there were soldiers who robbed the camp for money, the soldier would never see the sun the next day.

"Yes. Locke praised that Locke had never made such a fortune before.

"Hey, hey. Gulas didn't speak, just giggled.

Locke looked at this guy with a beard and a stout physique, and he really couldn't see that his heart was so fine, he was really unseemly. "You will go to the logistics of the one handed in, and you will give me my share after changing it to Deloit, and as for these goods, you give half to the baron's caravan and half to a merchant named Henry in the battalion. "Locke is not a man of his word, he intends to befriend the fat merchant, but he does not dare to give him all the capture of the soldiers, who knows if the baron will give him small shoes because of the profits of the caravan, it is safe.

Since Gulas said that this is a gang of second-class traffickers, there must be a leader. "Which of you is in the lead?" Locke asked.

The few people squatting on the ground clearly sensed that the person who was questioning was the leader of the soldiers, and although they did not speak, they all looked at a thin man in the middle of them.

"Is that you?" Locke looked at this unattractive man, who looked like ribs, and if it weren't for the slightly cunning eyes, he might have ignored this person. However, looking at his trembling appearance at this time, he did not have the momentum of the leader of the two dealers.

"Yes, my lord, the villain's name is Vic. "Although this rib man is timid, he is quite articulate. "The villain is a famous merchant in the city of France, you let the villain live, and the villain can bring great wealth to the adult. ”

"Oh, a second-class peddler, a smuggler, and dares to call himself a businessman. Gulas next to him smiled disdainfully.

Locke was interested in him, not in his talent, but in his wealth. Locke suddenly thought that a two-way dealer like this is not doing business alone, it should be a group of people, this group of people is sweeping goods, then there must be people who receive goods, if they follow his line, there should be a surprise.

The rib man was anxious when he heard Gulas's words, he was especially afraid that this group of soldiers would think that he was worthless and slaughtered him, "The villain can also see things, and the villain has been working as a handyman in jewelry stores and pawn shops since he was a child, and he has practiced a pair of fiery eyes, which can help adults find treasures." ”

"Kebi yes, you can help me see this. Locke remembered the handmaiden's bracelet he had taken last night, and asked him to see if it was worth it.

When Nakerby heard this, he immediately wiped his hands on his clothes, took the gold bracelet, observed it repeatedly by the light, and even flicked the bracelet with his fingers, which was a little professional. However, he quickly showed a hint of disdain, which others did not see, but Locke, who had been observing him, caught it.

"How?" asked Locke quietly.

"My lord, this ...... This ......," Kirby stammered.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Locke urged.

"My lord, this bracelet is not a top grade in my opinion, although the weight of the bracelet is not much different from the real gold bracelet, but the bracelet does not have the softness of gold, it should be doped with copper, the weight is not bad, it should be added with some silver, as for gold, it should be coated with a layer of gold powder on the surface, and there are no other dopings, no tools, the villain can't see it at present. "Kerry, the rib man, is saying everything is true. "All in all, this bracelet is worth a maximum of five silver coins. At the end, Kirby also valued the bracelet.

Five silver coins, converted into Dele, can also be exchanged for one or two silver Dele, if Locke was still eye-catching before, now, it's still counted.

Locke took back the bracelet, it seemed that he was in a very bad mood at this time, and thought that those women had some background. But it was only the maid's, and it was almost forgivable, so Locke comforted himself.

Gulas is worthy of being a good person, seeing that Locke was in a bad mood at this time, he hurriedly kicked Nakeby, "If you have any good things, don't you take them out quickly and show them to Big Brother Locke." ”

When Kirby heard that the worth and life of his group might be in the hands of the officer, he was busy rummaging through the boxes of the group. Finally picked out a pair of beautiful earrings and a dark green bracelet. "My lord, this is the best thing for the villain, it is suspected that a noble woman pawned it in the villain, this earrings villain is so big, there are few jewelry I have seen that are more precious than her, and this bracelet, if the villain is not mistaken, it is made of Yunmo gemstones, such a big bracelet with Yunmo gems is definitely not small, Yunmo gems used to create high-end rings in the past. ”

These earrings are indeed fine, the diamonds on them alone are worth a lot of money, and as for the bracelet, Locke didn't see any doorway, since he said it was good, it should be good. Locke didn't say much, and put away the two things.

There was no point in staying here any longer, and as Locke left, he instructed Gulas, "Spare that boy's life, I'll be useful." ”

Locke walked around the city, and it was still so chaotic that it was not until the baron gave the order to stop disturbing the people that the situation would be subsided.

Locke went to the original team to take a look first, Hans was taking the brothers to copy things in a grocery store, Kane was sitting on the roof in a daze, Kane is like this, usually not in shape, like to take advantage of small advantages, but Locke knows that he is the kindest person in the team, and he basically does not participate in every kind of raid. Locke asked him once, and he said that the sight of the Charlotte civilians reminded him of his years as a beggar. Everyone acquiesced to his behavior, but every harvest would be counted as his share.

At noon, the city lord's mansion finally came with the baron's order, and the army stopped the "search" and stood by in the Xicheng District as a team.

Xicheng is the area that Baron Kashgar bombarded with magicians, and it is now barren, but it also means that the area is clean, just enough for the soldiers to camp there.

Most of the soldiers had not slept all night, and as soon as they had assembled in the fierce battle, they staggered to find a place to sleep.

Locke also met acquaintances from Baron Kashre's forces here. Sean, who is also a civilian-born squad leader, once fought side by side with Locke and has a good relationship.

"Why, you're over here too?" Locke greeted, this is a hierarchical world, and Locke is willing to make this friend if he speaks first.

"Yes, Brother Locke, you have been promoted, and I am happy, brother. It just so happened that I got a good wine last night, so go to my place tonight, okay, I'll do the east. Sean was glad to see that Locke was still in his old love. Although the two are not subordinate to the same army, but their positions and ranks are higher than his, that is right. There is no harm in making friends with this kind of person.

Those who have been in the army for more than a year understand that the most reliable person on the battlefield is themselves, followed by their comrades-in-arms, which shows the importance of a friend.

"No problem. Locke patted Sean on the shoulder and laughed. As usual, there should be no task between now and tomorrow afternoon, and Locke's injury yesterday will not affect his drinking under the nourishment of the vindictive spirit.

After mixing faces in the camp, Locke returned to his little yard, still carrying a chicken in his hand, which Hans had sent to him, worthy of an old brother.

In the courtyard, the maid Rafi was sweeping the floor, but she was so preoccupied that she didn't know what was going on. Christine sat on the doorframe and fiddled with her fingers, looking much better. Grace should be in the house. It seems that these women are not stupid and did not escape, Locke dares to guarantee that they can't escape from this city, just with the kung fu of the maid three-legged cat, they can't do it at all.

Seeing Locke return, the maid Raffi made a defensive gesture. But Locke ignored it, walked straight over, and threw the chicken in his hand to her, "Will it be handled?" Locke asked.

"Yes. Rafi was still a little confused, and replied dumbly.

"Brother!" Christine was thrilled to see Locke back.

Locke rubbed Christine's little head. He also has a crush on the little girl. Normally, the noble soldiers of Charlot would be handed over to the commander for a bounty, but Locke did not intend to do so. Although they haven't recognized their identities yet, Locke doesn't care, these women he has a crush on are his.
