A series of questions appeared in Lin Bai's mind.
He had never heard of Lotus Island before.
Moreover, he did not stay in Jinling for a long time, and he was just a scholar at that time. Logically speaking, he did not pose a threat to the hidden bigwigs in Jiangnan at all.
If you leave after that, you won't be able to do it anymore.
Why are these people targeting Veteran Logistics?
Is it directed at yourself?
Or is it just for veteran logistics? Has the circulation of old goods benefited some people?
It shouldn’t be!
Lin Bai shook his head subconsciously. Whoever's interests were affected would have been affected long ago. If the other party wanted to take action, they would have taken action long ago. There was no reason to wait until his official position became higher and higher before taking action. This was unreasonable.
Moreover, if it were just some benefits, with his current status and potential, the other party would most likely tolerate it.
To directly accuse Veteran Logistics of treason is to put yourself in danger.
So, this is not aimed at veteran logistics.
But this is even stranger.
I didn’t offend anyone in Jiangnan!
Lin Bai couldn't understand and was too lazy to rack his brains. The most important thing right now was to find out the truth.
Ji Xiaofeng also understood this, looked at a group of pirates and asked: "Do you have a chance to come into contact with Lotus Island? Maybe everything related to it?"
Everyone shook their heads, "Except for Brother Biao and some people around Brother Biao, we have no way of contacting him."
"By the way! I heard that Brother Biao is planning to select a group of young men recently, which will bring a lot of benefits. There are rumors that Lianhua Island wants them."
"Yes! I heard that he will be trained as a navy master of Lotus Island."
What!
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Recruiting young men to train as navy masters? Is this a rebellion? Or do you want to create an existence like the Golden Triangle?
There seems to be no difference, no matter which one it is, it will not be tolerated by the court.
However, it is really not easy to deal with these people at sea.
The key is that we don’t know where Lotus Island is. Even a powerful naval force cannot conquer it. And to find the source of the weapons, I’m afraid...
Lin Bai thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any chance of being selected?"
Several people were stunned for a moment.
Lin Bai continued: "I can give you an opportunity to serve as my internal correspondent and make meritorious service in the future. I will restore your household registration and allow you to return to the land openly. Not only that, as long as you concentrate on your work, I can still Keep your family safe."
A few people seemed a little hesitant.
Ji Xiaofeng shouted: "Idiot, why don't you hurry up and catch the pie falling from the sky?"
"Yes! You guys are willing."
Several people nodded quickly. They were not stupid, but they just didn't react for a while.
Under such circumstances, it would be a dead end for the other party to kill them or take them to the Yamen. Although it is dangerous to act as an insider, there is always hope.
At least the family is settled.
Ji Xiaofeng immediately found out the family backgrounds of these people. Firstly, it was to take care of them, and secondly, it was naturally a threat. Then he said: "Sir, once these people go back, it will be difficult to control them. Should we let two of our own people in?"
"No sir, Brother Biao is very cautious, and he is very familiar with the people in the government. Once you sneak in, everyone will be doomed."
Several pirates became a little nervous when they heard this.
Ji Xiaofeng frowned. This was true. People who have been wandering at sea all year round can easily tell the difference.
At this moment, the group of people were either surrounded by Feilong Guards or guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this time, the knife head on the side suddenly said: "Why don't you let me go!"
Well?
Lin Bai looked at the knife head in surprise.
Dao Tou said: "If Mr. Lin believes in Cao Min, Cao Min is willing to give it a try." m.
Lin Bai asked: "Why?"
Being an internal agent is not a good job. The other party actually took the initiative to ask for help, which was actually somewhat out of his expectation.
The knife head replied: "Three generations of Cao Min's family have been sailing. Two years ago, we went out to sea. We were suspected of encountering pirates. They invited us to join their gang. After our father refused, the whole boat was killed. Cao Min is good at water. I was lucky enough to save my life."
"But my father and brother were both dead. After returning home, my mother and wife forbade me to go to sea again, so I found a temporary job in the town. I wanted to live a good life, but I didn't want to encounter another famine. My mother and wife both Starving to death, only the grassroots and the child were left. I thought the child would not be able to hold on anymore, but with God's blessing, on the way to escape from the famine, I met an adult who was on an envoy to the Wu Dynasty, and the child was taken to Changjin County."
"The grassroots don't want to repay their kindness, they just want revenge. I later inquired about those pirate grassroots, and they should be people from Lotus Island."
Several people were a little surprised. They didn't expect that the child in Dao Tou was one of the children saved during the mission.
No wonder he volunteered to come when he heard that Lin Bai was going to sea.
He said he would not repay the favor, but in fact he had already done so.
Lin Bai asked: "If something happens to you, what will happen to the child?"
The knife head grinned, "The child is already ten years old. He has food and clothing in Changjin County. He is very strong. Now he helps move bricks in the red brick factory and can barely support himself."
"Besides, he must have a better life than ordinary people in Changjin County."
"The common people are used to being on the water, and they still like it after all."
The words were very simple, but they made Zhuiyue's eyes turn red.
The people of this era really don’t ask for much, but no one can satisfy them.
Lin Bai felt a little upset, and then nodded, "Okay! Be careful."
Knifehead is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. He has been drifting on the sea all year round, and the scar on his face makes him look particularly fierce, more like a pirate than a pirate.
Immediately, Ji Xiaofeng put the group back into the boat.
Includes blade.
These people are accustomed to drifting on the sea and can quickly find the previous pirates, so there is no need to worry.
This will not arouse suspicion.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you have doubts. These people are all bankrupt and can only drift on the sea. What pirates want are desperadoes, so naturally they don't care.
Moreover, in this vast sea, Lin Bai himself didn't know whether there was any use in it.
He was just making extra preparations.
In fact, if he hadn't been worried about Aojiao Niang, the little goblin, and Xiao Jiu on the boat, he would have really wanted to meet the so-called Biao Master. With these three hundred sailors, plus Gan Fan Wang and others, as well as Zhuge Liannu , enough to cope with it.
Wouldn't it be easier to just take down the other party and ask them clearly?
Unfortunately, it is obviously impossible at the moment. The arrogant girl and the little goblin still don’t know what happened, so there is no time to delay.
Xiao Jiu is the prince of the Wu Dynasty. If something unexpected happens and Gu Ling'er goes to him desperately, the Wu Dynasty might have an army to suppress the situation.
have to!
We can only talk about it when we have a chance. Finding the source of the weapons is definitely not easy.
Let’s wait until we meet the two ladies to talk about everything!
The ship continued to move forward, riding the wind and waves. No more pirates were encountered on the road. Generally speaking, it was calm.
Two days later, a continuous stretch of land finally appeared ahead.
finally reached!
Seeing the long-lost land, everyone on the boat couldn't help but cheer. Lin Bai also showed a look of relief on his face, as well as a cold and stern light.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
