The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 591
An old merchant ship that doesn't seem to be able to withstand the wind and waves swayed out to sea.

After Cai Jianjiu's death, the port, located dozens of miles outside of Yanyan City, naturally lifted the ban. After all, no one would have trouble with money.

The news of Cai Wutang and Cai Jianjiu's killing has spread throughout Liuqiu at the speed of a storm and dark clouds these days. Now is the time when Liuqiu's undercurrent is surging, and all parties are accumulating their strength to fight for the real power of Liuqiu.Although the city lord of Yanyan City is nothing in Liuqiu, if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to make money, it would be in vain for him to spend a lot of money to buy this position from the Wulin League.

Is it really for the benefit of the people to be an official?

fart!
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.Cai Wutang and Cai Jianjiu control Liuqiu's government, filling their own pockets all day long, and seeking benefits for the Wulin League.How many good birds can there be among these officials below?

It was extremely easy for Zhao Dongting and his party to go out to sea, without encountering any obstacles.

Although the merchant fleet of the Central Plains has not heard the news, they hurried to Liuqiu to continue to do the sea freight business that can make a lot of money.But the Liuqiu fleet has already been headed towards all parts of the Central Plains, especially Liuqiu.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that now is the time for shipping to make money. After a while, more and more people will pour into this industry, and it is almost impossible to make such a large profit.Now he is still relying on the plump breasts of his mother-in-law at home, which means he can't get along with the word "Ri Jin Dou Jin".

Zhao Dongting only paid a small price, and the steward of the merchant fleet happily agreed to take them to Leizhou.

Of course, in addition to the serious boat fare, Zhao Dongting had to give the steward some money.It's just this little money, Zhao Dongting obviously doesn't pay attention to it.

Snakes have snake holes, rats have rat ways.This is inevitable if you want to live comfortably on board.

Zhao Dongting was probably the emperor who was most familiar with these "little rules" among the people in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Because the language communication is not convenient, Zhao Dongting and the others on the boat seem to be somewhat independent.He also enjoyed it, and when he was bored, he went fishing on the boat.

And the sea is vast, obviously there is little to gain.

After more than [-] days like this, the merchant ship approached the Dongsha Islands.The atmosphere on the boat suddenly became much more solemn, as if there were dark clouds overwhelming all the time.

Roughly speaking, the port of Liuqiu has been banned for nearly half a year.Those pirates must have been "extremely hungry", and the merchant ships in front didn't know if they could satisfy their appetites.It is a trivial matter to pay more money, what I fear most is that those pirates disregard the rules and do some business of arresting ships and intercepting cargo and killing people.

Although the owner of this merchant ship has some connections, allowing the merchant ship to follow the large fleet, but if he has a special background, it will not be the only broken ship that goes to sea.It will be really bad luck at that time, I am afraid that these merchant ships who are regarded as dependent on others will be responsible.Most of the money has to go to them.

Zhao Dongting didn't care, he was as leisurely as ever.

In the past few days, he has healed his injuries, and his cultivation has been consolidated at the Shangyuan realm, and he broke through two acupoints in one fell swoop with the momentum of breaking through the realm.Although Mrs. Xu and Tie Liduan had gone back to Leizhou first, with Hong Wutian and Kumano by their side, as well as Cai Wutang, whose specific strength was turned into a zombie by Kumano, it was not something pirates could swallow.

The fleet passed between Crescent Island, South Ring Island, and North Ring Island in Dongsha Islands.

Probably because the three islands block the hurricane at sea, the waves here are always smaller.Some years merchant ships don't rock so much anymore.

It's not that the fleet can't bypass the Dongsha Islands, but the pirates' power is so radiant that they can bypass the temple, but they may not be able to bypass the monk.If you really want to be surrounded by pirates outside the Dongsha Islands, then it will not be a problem that money can solve, and you will have to be killed and looted.In the past, when shipping was just booming, there were many bloody lessons learned from the past, and later all the companies learned to be honest.

In the Dongsha Islands, most of the pirates still obey the rules.Killing and cutting off goods is only a small probability event.

That night, the fleet was stopped by pirates at the front without any surprise.

All the pirates in the Dongsha Islands have small boats with eyes and ears on the sea. This merchant fleet was obviously targeted just after entering the range of the Dongsha Islands, or even earlier.

The pirates have only a dozen or so ships, which are not big, and they can't see the depth.

But no one dared to take this small group of pirates seriously.

There are definitely not a few pirates who know that merchant ships are passing through, but why do these little pirates have the courage to stop the fleet before the rest of the pirates arrive?

If there is no unseen contest in the middle, it is obviously impossible.

Big pirates eat big fleets, little pirates eat small fleets.This is an unwritten rule that has been established in the Dongsha Islands, and no small group of pirates dares to violate the taboo.

In the past, there were arrogant pirates who committed such taboos, and the endings were similar to each other. In the end, even their names disappeared in the Dongsha Islands.

The steward of the fleet is someone who is seeking some status in Yanyan City, and the master behind the scenes is said to be the top wealthy businessman in Yanyan City, and he can have a relationship with the city owner of Yanyan City.

The steward seems to be a fellow student of the cousin of the concubine of the city lord of Yanyan City.

Such a person still has a certain tolerance in front of outsiders.

After the merchant fleet was intercepted by pirate ships, the steward's most luxurious ship slowly sailed to the front of the fleet.

The steward was dressed like a wealthy businessman, he didn't look like a servant at all, walked out of the cabin, waved a salute to the pirate ship lying in front, "I have seen you heroes."

The voice fluctuated in the sound of the waves in the night.

On the pirate ship, the torch also swayed with the night wind.Under the light of the torch, those hideous faces also flickered.

The distance between the fleet and the pirate ship is only a few meters.

The pirate ship was still approaching, and finally, it slammed into the merchant ship in charge.

This caused the merchant ship to shake, and the person in charge and the people on board changed their colors slightly.

Although the pirate ship in front of them was much smaller than the merchant ship, but this preemptive momentum was already able to make their hearts beat.

The steward hurriedly waved to the back.

On the pirate ship, a few big and three thick pirates jumped onto the bow, their muscles shaking.They all had knives in their hands.

This is not the Central Plains, and the pirates also feel that the knife makes it easier.There are very few people who use swords, and they are basically masters.

However, although these guys used knives, they were able to jump directly into the boat, obviously they also had some kung fu disciples.

Someone behind the steward trotted forward with a plate.

"Please accept it, all heroes."

The steward took the plate, and respectfully handed it to the pirates in front of him who frightened him.There are twenty or so pieces of silver on the plate, all of which are five taels of silver.

This is not a small amount, and it is two chips more than the previous example.

But the leader of the pirates just glanced at the silver lightly, "That's all? Is it okay to treat me as a beggar?"

The manager smiled all over his face, "Don't you know the current rules of the head of the house?"

The leading pirate waved his finger, "I still need 50 taels."

The manager couldn't laugh anymore, and showed a bitter expression, "Master, our profit from this trip..."

Business people are always used to haggling.

But what the steward never expected, the pirate who was able to speak some sense before was extremely arrogant this time, and before he finished speaking, a knife was placed on his neck, "Talk about it! "

The manager swallowed his saliva, his legs swayed, and he almost didn't pee out of fear.Of course, there will no longer be the courage to bargain.

In the final analysis, the money belongs to the master, and as much as he can earn on this trip, he will not get too much. There is really no need to risk being beheaded for this.

In a hurry, he shouted to the back: "Go and get another 50 taels of silver to honor you heroes."

The accountant who had just brought up the silver ran into the cabin again.

"Damn it."

The leading pirate seemed extremely impatient, "It's not too late for you guys, let's live it now. I'm afraid I won't be able to get the good things I got."

The steward was confused, but dared not ask.

A pirate next to him smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. It will take some time for the boss and the others to deal with the red lady's subordinates, and we should still be able to catch up."

The leader of the pirate spat heavily, "If you catch up, there will be leftovers. It is said that the red lady is very beautiful, and there are many beautiful girls below. These days, I am on the island. I'm in a panic, if I can't catch a new one, how disappointed is it?"

The pirate who just spoke next to him licked the corner of his mouth and laughed again, "If you can't get fresh ones, get a few more, and you can enjoy yourself."

They were unscrupulous in their words and deeds, and their voices were as rough as they looked. Even under the cover of the night wind and the sound of the waves, they naturally still reached the ears of Zhao Dongting and the others who were sharp and sharp.

Zhao Dongting was squatting on the bow of the boat, watching the show tens of meters away.Hearing the conversation between the two pirates, the two sword eyebrows frowned slightly.
