The Little King Next Door

Chapter 59 Task Details and Leaks

The young man seemed to be very eager. He had released this mission for a while, but no one expressed interest. Before finally, someone came to the door, but the other party came to warn him, telling him not to cause trouble for Prisoner Island, and said One of the people he was looking for was dead, and the other was not found at all, so he was asked to cancel the mission and not to look for it again.

The young man was very frightened and excited for a while, and even ran to the prisoner's island with his guards.

But he was also afraid that someone would harm him, so when he went out, everyone told him that he was going to find his father and his uncle on Prisoner Island, and visited every person who had a relatively high status at home, and he even sent his servants to the tavern Let's just say, within two days almost everyone in their city knew that he was going to Prisoner Island.

In this way, if he died outside, people related to Prisoner Island would be the biggest suspects.

The young man's family is rich, and he found many people to protect himself and his family.But when he arrived at Prisoner Island, he found that he could not enter at all. He asked the guard on Prisoner Island for his father's body. The other party said that his father died of illness. In order to prevent the epidemic, he burned the body and finally gave him an ashes jar.

The young man didn't believe that the ashes of his father were in the jar. Later, he went to the pharmacist and found out that the ashes of a dog were in the jar. He was very angry.

The young man went to the prisoner's island guard to reason. The guard first said that he had made a mistake, and then impatiently said that the ashes could not be found and were thrown into the sea.

The young man didn't give up, and the guards even used the excuse that he was disturbing the security of the prisoner's island, suspected that he was spying on the defense of the prisoner's island, and wanted to drag him into the prisoner's island forcibly and lock him up.Fortunately, the guards he hired were pretty good and rescued him.

The young man was unwilling to leave like this. He heard that there was a market on the nearby Seagrass Island, thinking that there might be a lot of people in the market, and maybe someone would be interested in the mission he released, so he brought people to live here.This wait is more than two months.

Now he finally waited for it, and what he was waiting for were two strong men who were beyond his expectations.

Well, the child who is said to have the Eye of Truth is not considered strong, but his brother is really strong.

One hit six, and they went to the boat at night to abolish the other people's stewards.That is to say, the Li family was lucky and took the old man with the broken leg who was said to be healed by the child to live in other places instead of living on the boat, so they were not blamed.

Many people look down on the behavior of the Li family.It's too careless to beg people and children to save people in the front, and to think about the benefactor's storage space in the back.Even pirates still talk about loyalty and gratitude.

The Li family probably also knew that they were wronged, so they went secretly to the owner of Haicao Island to redeem someone, and then hid. Now the group of people don't know where they are hiding.

The remaining members of the Kuman Chamber of Commerce were picked up by Bai Kaka, the young master of the Bai family, and those who were still alive were arrested by the young master. It is said that they will be brought back to the Kuman Chamber of Commerce to ask for a ransom to compensate him for being arrested at sea. Losses from pirate raids.

The young man especially admired Lei Mu, the way he looked at Lei Mu was like looking at idols, even the strange looking tattoos seemed mysterious to him.

As for the master's younger brother... the child's strength is not high, but his eyes are also very useful.If these two people can enter the prisoner's island, maybe they can really help him find some clues about his relatives.

So the young man said everything to the two of them.

The young man's name is Zuo Yuan, a small nobleman in the Xiyu Kingdom, and his family is a businessman.

According to the youth’s narrative, his father, Zuo Qinsang, was imprisoned on the Prisoner’s Island because he had been punished on behalf of others. He would have been able to return home in about ten years, but in the second year after Zuo Qinsang entered the Prisoner’s Island, the Zuo family received a notice saying that Zuo Qinsang had died of illness on the island.

But Zuo Qinsang also has a younger brother, Zuo Qinyu. The two brothers are twins. Zuo Qinyu firmly believes that Zuo Qinsang is still alive, so he also tries to enter the prisoner island.

Zuo Yuan said bitterly: "Uncle disguised his identity and entered the prisoner's island as a guard. He still had contact with us at the beginning, but there was no news about him in the second month. We went to the island to visit, and it turned out that the island The guard actually told us that there is no such person.”

"We investigated outside and also found that my uncle's pseudonym had disappeared from the Prisoner Island watch list, as if he had never been to Prisoner Island, and he had never been there."

Zuo Yuan said painfully: "I want to know if my father and my uncle are still alive, what happened to them? If possible, I hope someone can help me find them and bring them out of the prisoner island .As long as I can bring people out, no matter whether they live or die, I am willing to pay you a lot of money."

Zuo Yuan promised that as long as he can give clear information about his father and uncle and have evidence to prove it, he will give a hundred gold.If one can be brought out alive, one thousand gold coins will be given if one is brought out alive, and three thousand gold coins will be given if two people are brought out together.If it is a dead body or ashes, one person will be given two hundred gold, and the two together will be given five hundred gold.

Lei Mu didn't agree on the spot, but only said that he would consider it and give him an answer at night at the latest.

Zuo Yuan looked at Lei Mu expectantly, but he didn't want to pester him, he only said that he would come to ask again in the evening.

The two also left the mercenary guild. Wang Ye wondered as he walked, "This family is very rich. So rich, why can't they buy out his father and uncle?"

"Not all prisoners can be bought. If it involves treason, offending the nobles, etc., no amount of money will help." Lei Mu understands this very well.

"Then Zuo Qinsang was ordered to be killed by the nobles above?" Wang Ye asked.This is not uncommon in prisons.

Lei Mu shook his head: "Zuo Yuan said that his father was a successor. I suspect that Zuo Qin Sangdai is a great nobleman. If he can make a great nobleman subdue and find someone to replace him, then the person who offended the great nobleman In this way, even if Zuo Qinsang's family is rich and someone is covering him, he can't come out so quickly. If he says he will be in prison for ten years, then he will really have to spend ten years in prison, otherwise the other party will be unhappy. But No one will abuse him, because the great nobleman he replaced will secretly protect him."

Wang Ye suddenly realized: "That's why Zuo Yuan dared to find someone in such a big way, because he was sure that the problem was not outside, but on Prisoner Island."

Lei Mu: "Yes. And he dared to do this, and he was probably encouraged and instructed. You think his uncle Zuo Qinyu can get a false identity as a guard, and let himself enter the prisoner island. No one will help him. possible?"

"That is to say, someone from the upper echelon of Xiyu Country, or even the upper echelon of Chunmu Shang Country, wanted to investigate Prisoner Island, but they couldn't make it clear, so they used the Zuo family to test it out?" Wang Ye showed a strange smile on his face. : "It seems that there is a real problem inside this prisoner island, and there is a big problem with the guards."

Lei Mu also said: "Someone can erase Zuo Qinyu's name from the guards, as if this person has not been sent here, which means that the other party has certain influence outside. Or someone outside is guarding the prisoner's island."

"Gold mine!" Wang Ye blurted out.

Things were connected in series, and the two speculated that Zuo Qinsang and his brothers probably discovered the secret of the gold mine and were wiped out by Prisoner Island.It may also be related to parasites.Whichever it is, the wardens of Prisoner Island are the ones in the know.

Wang Ye also opened his mind, suspecting that Zuo Qinsang didn't suffer on behalf of others at all, but was sent to investigate the gold mine.

"Things are not clear, everything is possible. Whether it is gold or parasites, it is troublesome." Lei Mu actually didn't want Wang Yezhan to get into such trouble, but the child seemed to be particularly interested in the prisoner island, knowing that the prisoner The island is not safe, so I have to run inside to have a look.

"It seems that we have to find someone." Wang Ye hesitated, he really didn't want to see that guy again.

Lei Mu saw his expression and guessed what he wanted to do: "You want to find Zhang Hui?"

"He is the person we know who knows the inside situation of Prisoner Island the best. This guy must have kept a lot of things from us. If we really want to enter Prisoner Island to find Zuo Qinsang brothers, it is very necessary for us to go Meet this pervert." Wang Ye didn't want to go to Zhang Hui either, because every time he saw this person, he would get furious.

It was a foreknowledge of danger.

Zhang Hui looks weak, but as long as he can fight for a chance to survive, he will survive tenaciously like an inexhaustible weed, and give you a hard blow when you ignore him.

Although Wang Ye had never heard of Zhang Hui's name in his previous life, he doubted that this person would have survived without him, the kind of life that coexisted with parasites.

Otherwise, only Zhang Hui knew the whereabouts of the elf space, how could it flow out later?

And Zhang Hui's ability to get the iron box means that he walked out of Trench Island alive.

It was not difficult to find Zhang Hui. He pretended to be the illegitimate daughter of a certain nobleman, got involved with the Li family, got a ticket for the ship that the Li family was on, and got mixed up in a single cabin.

The Li family hid, but Zhang Hui didn't. He still stayed on the boat, hiding in the cabin all day long, like a real young lady who doesn't leave the house.

Zhang Hui looked surprised when he saw the two people visiting.

"Let's go out and talk." Wang Ye said.

The cabin is too narrow and not soundproof, and the breathing of the next door can be heard a little louder.

Talk about things, it's better to go to the open place, the beach outside is very big, so you can walk casually.

"At that time, you can tell the outside world that we came to you to inquire about the whereabouts of the Li family." Wang Ye also helped him find an excuse.

Zhang Hui smiled gracefully, and even her voice became soft: "Ah Hui understands, thank you young master for your concern. When others ask, I will tell them that my arm is injured, and it is the young master who helped me treat it. You make excuses to return me to the doctor, but it is actually Come to ask me about the Li family, but unfortunately, I don't know anything."

Wang Ye admired this person so much. If he saw Zhang Hui for the first time, saw his appearance, and heard such a voice again, he would definitely treat him as a girl. male.

So many people saw that Miss Zhang with an arm injury was taken off the big boat by the two brothers and walked on the beach.

The little pharmacist apprentice also bought a bunch of skewers and ate them as he walked.

In the eyes of others, the person who talks to Miss Zhang is mainly the one who is the eldest brother.

No one knew what they said, but Miss Zhang finally thanked the two of them and returned to the boat intact.

Afterwards, an older girl and a younger daughter-in-law deliberately met Zhang Hui by chance, talked to her, and asked her if she knew the pair of brothers.

Zhang Hui followed the excuse that Wang Ye made for him, and kept saying that the two brothers were good people with a naive and inexperienced appearance.

Because Zhang Hui is rich, and his manner is elegant, his advances and retreats are measured, and his personality is even more gentle and pleasant. He gets along very well with those ladies and ladies who come to inquire, and through them, he gets to know their husbands, fathers, and brothers...

Wang Ye didn't know that he and Lei Mu had unintentionally helped Zhang Hui again.

But Zhang Hui also provided them with a lot of useful information, is it mutually beneficial?

After separating from Zhang Hui, Wang Ye discussed with Lei Mu and took over the task of finding and rescuing people on the prisoner island, and made an appointment with the village chief to go back to Haigou Village with their boat tomorrow.

Next, Wang Ye stepped up time to teach the sixth primary school, mainly to let them memorize several common formulas by rote. In order to let them memorize more, let them memorize a formula specifically, and then teach each other.

Wang Ye also bought six sets of books for children to recognize characters, two books on herbalism, and a whole cart of white paper, ink, and quills from Youshang.

He would like to buy more books on herbalism, but the problem is that they are not sold openly in the market.

Generally speaking, medicinal herb books are handed down from master to apprentice, from parents to children. If you want to buy this kind of books, you can only go to the auction to try your luck.

And the books on herbal medicine that can be circulated in the world are still published by the Pharmacist Guild for the convenience of talented children to get started. Seagrass Island is very remote, and it is already lucky to buy two books from the traveling merchant.

Wang Ye bought so much white paper with the idea of ​​letting Liu Xiao copy the books. Six people copied the two books separately, and the ones that were copied belonged to him, and the other two books belonged to the village, including the reading books.

Needless to say, Liuxiao and Haigou villagers are grateful to Wang Ye.Wang Ye didn't ask for a copper coin from Haigou Village to buy these things.

And all books, including paper and pen and ink, are extremely expensive.Especially professional books related to knowledge are surprisingly expensive.

As for the two introductory books on herbalism that Wang Ye bought, each of them has only twenty pages, and the price is three gold coins without counter-offering.There is another book that is a bit thicker, with fifty pages, and the actual content is less than twenty pages, but because of the pictures of herbs on it, I dare to ask for ten gold coins.

Buying an ordinary book for 10 yuan is simply unbelievable on Earth, but it is extremely common on Shuangyuexing.And the more remote the place, the more expensive this kind of knowledge books are.

Wang Ye spent a total of [-] gold coins on the two introductory books on herbalism, plus a set of reading books, and those pens and ink papers.

And Haigou Village people go to the Haicao Village market, and the total income including the capital will not exceed ten gold. In previous years, it was basically three to five gold. This year, the income is expected to exceed eight gold. For things like gypsum, the whole village needs to pay for this little money.

Just ask how the people in Haigou Village are willing to buy these things that are not urgently needed?Even if you want to buy it, you can't afford it.

"How do you sell your sea turtle shell?" Because he was going to Prisoner Island, Wang Ye planned to stock up on more things, especially food and fresh water.

There are a lot of things on this stall, including jewelry strung with small pearls, necklaces made of fish bones and shells, dried starfish, small corals and so on.

The sea turtle shell that Wang Ye likes is not big, only a circle bigger than the palm of an adult, but the color is good-looking, the whole is snow white, but the snow white has light blue back shell lines, which destroys the overall beauty. Dirty things that couldn't be cleaned on the shell made the snow-white back shell suddenly lose a lot of value.

The stall owner saw that it was a child asking for the price, so he casually quoted a slightly higher price: "Five silver coins."

"Brother, I want it, let's buy it." Wang Ye picked up the turtle shell and asked Lei Mu to pay.

Lei Mu's eyes scanned the tortoise shell and found the energy fluctuations, so he immediately took out the money.

"I want this turtle shell!" A hand wanted to snatch the turtle shell away.

But Lei Mu and Wang Ye were faster, Lei Mu had already dropped the silver coin, and Wang Ye was holding on to the turtle shell.

The man was a step slower, and immediately said to Lei Mu: "Sell it to me, I am an alchemy apprentice, and I need this turtle shell to make something. How about fifty silver coins?"

The stall owner was stunned, and immediately regretted it.He only sold five silver coins, but the buyer could make ten times the profit if he changed hands.

Who would have thought Lei Mu shook his head: "Not for sale."

The man hurriedly said: "The turtle shell is useless to you, I really need materials urgently, or eighty silver? It's just a turtle shell..."

"Yeah, it's just a sea turtle shell, and it's also available at other stalls. If there are many, you can buy it elsewhere." Wang Ye said.

The man frowned, as if he had just noticed the tattoo on Lei Mu's face, "So you saw it. Are you a magician too?"

Lei Mu said with a cold face, "No."

"That's the magician." The young man who claimed to be an alchemist apprentice stared at the turtle shell Wang Ye was holding in his hand: "It seems that you can also see that this turtle was a monster before it was alive, and its turtle shell It is born with magical power, and the most wonderful thing is that there is a natural magic pattern on the turtle shell, which is an excellent magic material. If such a material is sold in a magic store, it is worth at least thirty or fifty gold coins. It is a pity that I did not let it See it sooner."

After hearing this, the stall owner didn't regret it anymore, but wanted to snatch the turtle shell from Wang Ye.Fifty gold coins, and he sold it for five silver coins!It was a loss, the stall owner was crying and full of remorse.

When Wang Ye saw the young man telling the secret of breaking the turtle shell, he was a little angry, so he gave Lei Mu the turtle shell and asked him to put it away.

The young man saw that the turtle shell disappeared when Lei Mu flipped his hand, so he knew that Lei Mu had a storage space, so he deduced that the two of them should not be easy to mess with, so they left without further entanglement.

This was just a small episode, and Wang Ye didn't take it to heart.
