Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 103: Outside the world
The official didn't understand what the steward meant. Just when he was in a daze, the steward sighed, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the official history. After only two glances, Guan Shi's body began to tremble involuntarily.
"Do you understand?" After the butler sighed, he continued: "I don't need to say more, you should know how to deal with it, right?"
"I know, the lower official knows... Please don't worry, this will not be leaked..." When he spoke, the official had torn the paper in his hand to shreds. But even so, he still didn't dare to handle the shredded confetti easily. After hesitating for a while, he directly stuffed a handful of confetti into his mouth. In front of the housekeeper, he raised his neck and swallowed, and then he did not forget to open his mouth and let the housekeeper check that he had no residue.
The housekeeper disliked the taste in Guan Shi's mouth, frowned and waved his hand, then said: "Okay, don't look at it, it's not the first time you and I have worked together, can't I trust you? Our two owners are interested. To promote you as the county governor of Nanhai County, you have to be very careful, and you can't make any mistakes..."
"Thank you for the cultivation of the two owners, thank you for the cultivation of the respected management..." Hearing that the Sishui ship was going to promote himself several ranks to become the county governor, the faces of the current officials burst into smiles. At this time, I also felt that the county governor died in the right place, and just gave up his position.
While the officials and the steward were discussing how to ensure the safety of the two owners of the Surabaya, in the bedroom several dozen feet away from the two, Bai Wuqiu was eavesdropping on the two with his windows open. When I heard the voice of the voice, apart from the monks who could use magic, there were only monsters like Bai Wuqiu.
Being in the dormitory was banned, Bai Wuqiu spoke with impunity: "Old guy, this county guard is so dead, Liu Xi and the two are over, and they don't plan to avenge him? I don't want to. Understood, doesn't it mean that the county governor was raised by the two of them?"
"This was made by the county magistrate himself. Silly boy, do you think those people went straight to Liu Xi's bedroom after jumping over the wall last night. Who sold it?" After talking, he smiled and continued: "The county guard was killed by those people. Sun Xiaochuan's ability to give out a hundred taels of gold is not bad. The money is given because the county guard sold his life to the Sishui before, and he was the one who killed the corpse. Collusion with outsiders to plan the retribution of his own family. I never thought that Sun Xiaochuan, the storyteller at the time, has such a mind now. The longer you live, the better..."
Bai Wuqiu finally understood why Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan talked so coldly about the death of the county governor, Er Lengzi sighed rarely, and said: "This is giving gold and corpses, you people are too heartless. If you don’t agree, then we’re better off, we don’t have so many hearts. If you don’t accept it, do it until you accept it.”
"What you said, eldest nephew, is like you are the only demon here." At this time, Xiao Rensan got up on the bed and continued to say to Bai Wuqiu: "The unscrupulous demon is also This one is yours. Look at the demon king's sons. They have one mind to compete with one another. They are not worse than Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan... The immortal, it is getting more and more chaotic now, and we will continue to go down. ?"
"I've already followed here, if I don't follow to the end, will the old guy be reconciled?" At this time, Wu Mian smiled strangely at Gui Bugui, and then continued to say in his unique tone: "Me too I want to see who is going to attack Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan again. It shouldn't be that simple. The person behind the scenes is not simple, and neither are Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan. Am I right? Old guy... "
"I can't find anything else to add to the right old man." After returning home with a smile, he continued: "My old man also wants to see the east ship of their Surabaya ship, and they can build such a place on the island. , it is a remarkable thing. At the beginning, the island of Yidao was built because there were monks who became immortals. Their Surabaya was completely built on an overseas island by manpower. I can't imagine what kind of place it will be if I go back or not.
At the moment, the widow and family members of the county governor packed up the house and left Nanhai County with the 100 taels of gold given by the Sishui. The county guard's body was put on a linen and hung at the gate of the city. There was no official notice, and no explanation. And the people who traveled from south to north did not feel any discomfort, as if they did not see the corpse when they entered the city.
Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan moved to their own inn on the Sishui in the city that day. Because of the sudden death of the county guard, the convoy stayed in Nanhai County for a few days. Knowing that the superior's yamen's Jun order has come down, the officials of the county governor's yamen will temporarily serve as the county governor, waiting for the successor appointed by His Majesty to take over. However, at this time, the imperial court was already in a mess, and there was no time to worry about the affairs of this little Nanhai County. To the end, it was only to let the official history justifiably succeed the post of Nanhai County Governor.
After waiting for this result, the convoy of the Surabaya continued to march towards the pier at the seaside of Nanhai County. Continue down the road, and nothing suddenly happens. Three days later, I arrived at the pier at the seaside of Nanhai County. I didn't expect this little-known pier to be prosperous. It is more prosperous than Nanhai and other counties, and it is only a little smaller than big cities like Luoyang and Chang'an.
This pier is the main docking place for the Surabaya and overseas. People on the pier can see all kinds of people. There are people of color, people from Tianzhu, and some outsiders who are blond and blue-eyed. Among them, Kunlun slaves with dark skin can also be seen. If you hadn't come all the way, no one would believe that this place would be Han land. According to the person in charge here, there are 50,000 people living in this small pier all the year round. It is the confidants of Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan in the Surabaya who manage this piece of alien land, and there are guards from the Surabaya in the business on the dock. Once, a group of sea bandits entered the pier by mistake. At first, they thought that they would loot a lot of money, but they did not expect that the last remaining one died under the guards of the pier.
It is because of the coming and going of merchants from all over the world that this small wharf is prosperous. The Surabaya's secrecy is also at home, and no one knows about such a place in the inland. Later, after returning to the pier for a circle, I realized the reason.
Don't look at the many foreign merchants here, but they all do business with the Surabaya. Except for the Surabaya, no other Central Plains merchants would come here. After receiving the goods, the Sishui will have a special caravan to deliver the goods to the warehouse in Nanhai County. The guy in charge of delivering the goods is either dumb or deaf. After being delivered to Nanhai County by a special person, he came back immediately and did not have any contact there. Therefore, where did the Surabaya ship come from so many foreign goods for so many years, it is also a puzzle that cannot be solved by other merchants.
Because Jin continued the policy of light merchants during the Han Dynasty, the laws did not allow these foreign merchants to trade in Jin. Although the pier here on the Sishui is outrageously prosperous, it is only a distribution center for smuggling, but under the protection of Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan, no one came to seek trouble. This is also one of the reasons why the two brothers designed the Empress Bamboo Sleeves and could not let the Surabaya fall into the hands of others.
"The two of you have good skills, and you can build such a place here." After turning around, an old guy like Gui Bugui who had seen the world couldn't help but admire: "Old man, I'm a little bit smart. But my old man couldn't create such a place anyway."
"Xiaochuan and I were also forced to do business. When we started to do business, we were forced by the government, forced by bandits, and even the more fierce-looking ordinary people dared to come and give us their mouths." Thinking of the previous difficulties, Sun Xiaochuan smiled bitterly. After a while, he continued: "We were forced to do nothing later, so the two of us hid here to trade secretly. After this step-by-step process, we have now improved."
After finishing speaking, Sun Xiaochuan smiled again, and said to Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the two monsters: "Since we are here, after two days of playing, we will go to sea for the East. It's not Xiaochuan who blows it by himself. , and only this place in the whole world has such a situation.”
"I don't have that mind anymore, let's go directly to your east number..." Wu Mian looked at the endless sea and said as if to himself: "Why does the sea breeze smell of blood..."
