"Although I know they are lying, you have not found anyone. Even if I believe you, they will not admit it." Tianba said coldly.
"City Lord, my subordinates should be damned for not doing things well! But I did see them getting on the boat. This is really strange. They must have hidden the people." Wen Yang said.
"I checked when I left just now, and there was no one on the boat at all!" Tianba said with a gloomy face.
There was nothing he could do about Feilong Trading Company's lies. After all, he couldn't forcefully question Feilong Trading Company. What's more, compared with Elder Xiao, his strength is not as good as him, so what can he do?
Thinking about it, he was really frustrated as a city lord. He was bullied to the point of being bullied by a trading company. If it weren't for the fact that Feilong Trading Company was still of great use to him, he would never tolerate what Feilong Trading Company was doing now.
Originally, he could check whether there was anyone on the boat when he got on the boat, but Elder Xiao was there at the time, so he couldn't find anyone this way.
It was only when he left that he felt unwilling to do so, so he quickly searched with his consciousness, but found no one.
"How could this happen? Did they disappear out of thin air?" Wen Yang looked confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
If he had seen it alone, he might have really thought he was dazzled. But there were so many team members who saw these people, and he didn't believe that all of them were dazzled.
Those people do exist, but now even the city lord has not discovered them. This is really strange.
"During this period, has anyone got off the ship?" Tianba thought for a while and asked.
"After the city lord reminded me, it really reminded me of something. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I feel that this person is really suspicious!" Wen Yang suddenly thought of a middle-aged man.
"Who?" Tianba asked.
"A middle-aged man, but he had the Elder Token of Feilong Trading Company in his hand, and he was the only one disembarking the ship at the time, so I didn't pay too much attention.
Moreover, it was him who made it possible for us to get on the boat, but he reminded me at the time that there was no one else on the boat. Now it seems even more strange. "Wenyang said.
"Middle-aged man? Holding the elder token of Feilong Trading Company? What's his name?" Tianba frowned.
Feilong Trading Company had a lot of elders on board, and he couldn't possibly know all of them. However, among the elders he knew, they were all old men. He had never seen an elder who looked like a middle-aged man.
"He didn't say anything. He just told Elder Xiao that he had something to do and he wouldn't go back to Taize City with the ship this time!" Thinking about it now, Wen Yang felt that this middle-aged man was becoming more and more suspicious.
Could this be the person they want to arrest? But there is no such person in the portrait they have? He was confused.
"What does he look like?"
"He looks very ordinary, nothing too special. He has a long beard on his chin. He is about seven feet tall and wears a blue robe." Wen Yang thought for a while and said.
"Can you still remember what he looked like? If you can, maybe you can ask an artist to draw it!" Tianba searched through Wen Yang's description among the elders of Feilong Trading Company he knew, but he never found such a figure. A middle-aged man with a bad face.
"Yes!" Wen Yang nodded heavily.
It was because of the middle-aged man's help that they had the opportunity to board the ship. He was grateful, so he paid more attention to the middle-aged man and was very impressed by him.
So, after the group returned to the city lord's mansion, Tianba immediately sent someone to find a painter, and based on Wen Yang's description, the painter finally painted the appearance of the middle-aged man.
"Is this what a middle-aged man looks like?" Tianba asked, holding the portrait in his hand.
What he was sure of was that he had never seen this middle-aged man before.
"Back to the city master, this is exactly what the middle-aged man looks like. Although it is not exactly the same, it is still 70-80% similar. It is easy to recognize him as long as you see him!" Wen Yang said.
"Okay! Make a rubbing of this portrait, and then find someone to distribute it to. We must find this middle-aged man!" Tianba handed the portrait to Wenyang.
"City Lord, this man is the elder of Feilong Trading Company. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to spread rubbings of his portrait like this?" Wen Yang said with some worry.
When he was on the ship, even the city lord did not dare to get angry at Feilong Trading Company. He felt that he had underestimated the significance of Feilong Trading Company to the city lord, so he kindly reminded him.
"Don't worry, these portraits are not passed on to outsiders, they are just circulated among the people in your hands. You must find this person." Tianba shook his head and said.
He had no doubts about the identity of the middle-aged man. If his identity as an elder was fake, how could he appear in front of Elder Xiao?
However, he suspected that he was the one who took those people out.
"Does the city lord suspect that he is the person we are looking for? But he is only one person and the others are missing? This is not right." Wen Yang continued to ask.
"He shouldn't be the person we are looking for, but he can help those people escape."
"But how did those people escape?" Wen Yang asked very puzzledly.
"If he had a space magic weapon on him, wouldn't it be easy to take a few people out?" Tianba said.
"Space magic weapon?" Wen Yang was shocked, with a look of envy on his face.
It's not that he has never heard of space magic weapons, but this kind of magic weapon is too rare, so he has never considered it in this direction.
If this human space magic weapon is said to be a magic weapon, it can indeed send those people away secretly.
Thinking of this, Wen Yang felt a little angry. He originally thought that the middle-aged man was really helping him. What he didn't expect was that the other party had already set a trap for him.
"Go ahead, remember, even if you turn the entire Tianhai City upside down, you have to find him!" Tianba said with a stern face.
"City Lord, I will definitely not disappoint the City Lord this time. I will arrange manpower now!" Wen Yang left the hall directly after saying this.
Tianba sat alone in a chair and meditated. He was thinking about the people he wanted to arrest.
Previously, someone from the dynasty told him to pay attention to such a group of people. At this time, he also happened to get news from below that this group of people not only appeared in their Tianhai City, but also killed the guards of his city lord's palace.
However, after that, these people seemed to disappear. He also considered that the reason why these people came to Tianhai City was probably to go to sea.
Therefore, during this period, he ordered people to inspect all the treasure ships coming to Tianhai City from Taize City.
Now that he finally got the information about these people, how could he let these people escape from his territory? He believed that if he found these people and handed them over to the dynasty, they would be appreciated by the dynasty.
