On the outlying island, one of the three principles here, the Kaden-gōsho, is like a local emperor. No one can disobey the Hiiragi family here, especially the foreigners here. They are the fish and meat on the board of the Kagōng-gōng.
A handsome man on the street was holding a small bowl in his hand, which contained specialties such as octopus feet, tofu and bamboo shoots, which he bought from a stall on the roadside.
Several patrolling soldiers passing by saw the handsome man. One of them waved his hand and said hello: "Mr. Bai Zhe, it seems that you are in a good mood today. Did something good happen to you?"
Bai Zhe shrugged his shoulders to show his helplessness, picked up a piece of radish with his chopsticks, shook his head to express his denial, and slowly said, "I'm not walking around like usual to see if there's any good business I can do. I'm doing this every day." It’s obviously not a problem to drink to get by.”
"Haha, come on, I'll go on patrol first."
"Go ahead and meet you for a drink later."
After the patrolling soldiers walked away, the fellow soldiers curiously asked their companions: "Who is that person? He looks quite unfamiliar. He is not a local from our outlying island."
"Mr. Bai Zhe, he just came to the remote island recently. He seems to be a rich man from Inazuma City. I met him at a roasted bird shop. I chatted with him for a few words and then he bought me a drink. He was very generous. Very generous, worthy of being a rich man from Inazuma Castle... I really want to go to Inazuma Castle to see General Raiden..."
"Hey, isn't this just a big injustice? If you have a chance, introduce him to me."
"I knew you would have such an idea, don't take others for granted!"
…
Bai Zhe has been to the outlying island of Narukami Island's only large dock for several days. He decided that he could make a lot of money through this only trading port, so why bother to cooperate with the fools? Could it be that those guys from the Fools offered a sky-high price to tempt even those who held the treaty port designation and implementation?
What role does the Hiiragi family play in this? Bai Zhe doesn't know these things. Of course, for him, he can get the truth with just a little investigation. After all, he already has enough understanding of the methods of fools. Nine times out of ten, their purpose is still God, but this rice wife's god seems to be very strong. Unlike the wind god Barbatos and the rock god Morax, there is only eternity in his eyes and he has a strong obsession.
Bai Zhe did not take Alicia or Rita with him on this trip. Although Alicia wanted to come with him at the time, Bai Zhe sternly rejected her. Although she had a little emotion at the time, it quickly dispersed. After going, he was relieved to have Rita accompanying Alicia, but he didn't know what kind of reaction Kamisato Ayaka would make.
Taking Alicia with me was mainly because it was inconvenient, and secondly, if anything happened, I could escape alone. Taking her with me was an unwise choice no matter how I looked at it.
Moreover, Kamisato Ayaka has been quite diligent in finding them recently, and Bai Zhe can naturally guess the purpose. Most likely, it is for herself.
There were several ships parked at the dock for a long time. They seemed to be foreign fleets. Bai Zhe also found out that the name of the fleet was the Southern Cross Fleet. According to the soldiers he knew, he said that those guys were here to supply supplies because of the All Nations Chamber of Commerce. The reason is that this fleet was chartered to stay here, and of course it was inevitable to pay a large amount of mola.
After all, how could those guys who were determined to follow the rules let go of such a good opportunity and squeeze out everything they could? The rotten stench can be smelled even standing on the street.
Bai Zhe put his hands on the brown-black railing, his black and red eyes looking in the direction of the dock, and a playful expression on his face.
After all, those guys who are willing to spend a lot of money must have a purpose to stay here.
After all, he had heard about the Southern Cross Fleet when he was in Liyue. The boss of this fleet was a woman, and he remembered that her name was Beidou.
That guy from Beidou is very close to Tianquanxing Ningguang. Anyone who can deal with that guy from Ningguang must be thoughtful and flexible, otherwise he will eat all the bones left by that guy. This shows that that guy from Beidou He is not just a reckless man, and he manages a huge fleet, so his methods and his own strength cannot be underestimated.
But Bai Zhe felt very strange. Apart from seeing a few scattered crew members on the outlying islands, Bai Zhe did not see any senior personnel of the Southern Cross Fleet during this period. It was strange and unusual. There must be something in it. whats the matter……
Those guys who were determined to implement the plan didn't realize it, or they were bribed by Mora. After all, the top officials were already rotten. Isn't it normal for the people below to rot? But that’s fine, it’s easier for me to do things when the people below are rotten. After all, I’m here to earn money from Mora.
In the past few days, Bai Zhe made some money through bribery and reselling. Although he didn't earn much, his network of connections was already established. What you want to do next has everything to do with it. Although these are all based on Mora, it is enough. At least the source of the information is the internal information of the Ding Ding Sect, which is something that ordinary people can't figure out without any brains.
…
At night, most restaurants on the outlying islands open very late.
Bai Zhe walked out of a tempura shop that had been open for fifty years. Feeling tired from playing around, he stretched out his hand and patted his clothes.
After all, I just invited some people to dinner and got some bits and pieces of news. For Bai Zhe, this news is enough. He can just summarize it before going back to bed. The mola in his hand now has increased from more than one hundred The snowball has doubled several times, and a lot of money has been spent to establish relationships and pay bribes. These are all necessary expenditures.
After all, it seemed that everyone was just having a meal. Privately, Bai Zhe gave each of them a red envelope of 500,000 Moras. Working for Bai Zhe made them earn a lot recently, and Bai Zhe learned a lot of internal information from them. If both parties think it's a good deal, then it's a win-win deal.
After settling the bill, Bai Zhe was about to go back to the hotel for news. During this period, he had no contact with anyone from the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations. After all, looking at their current predicament, even survival was already very difficult. The fools inside were also Many people don't know how to be tactful in doing things, and they will suffer big losses sooner or later. Do you understand how people are in the world?
The evening breeze at night felt cool on the body, but Bai Zhe felt strange that a group of people gathered in the dark. At this time, ordinary people would have rested long ago...
"That's... the people from the Southern Cross Fleet. The other side is... eh~ interesting."
