"I see, it's no wonder." The pirate boss suddenly said.
In fact, Chen Ping knows the clues left by Ling Shu. The only thing that is really useful is this jade ring. Since there are clues, he must seize the opportunity.
The whole ship was filled with the smell of sweat and sea, and all the pirates were carrying steel knives. The moonlight made people's hair stand on end. Ye Chongwen and Zhao Jin both broke into a cold sweat for Chen Ping.
"Where is your father from?" the pirate boss said as he raised his hand back, "What is your family's business?"
The minions immediately served drinks and grilled fish.
Chen Ping knew that this was the moment to test his acting skills!
He immediately pinched his thigh hard and stood up with tears in his eyes from the pain.
"My family was originally engaged in the grain business in Qianzhou, and our family was relatively well off. Later, my father got into a lawsuit for no apparent reason, and the family's money was almost all gone before we rescued my father. Unfortunately, my old father was old and frail and could not bear the torture in prison. , died soon after returning home...!"
Zhao Jin was very hungry. She picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat when she suddenly felt no longer hungry after seeing Chen Ping's performance.
Ye Chongwen was biting a piece of dry food in his mouth, his expression was a little hesitant, and he didn't know if he should cry cooperatively at this moment.
I saw Chen Ping sniffing and continuing with tears in his eyes.
"But not long after my father passed away, several uncles in the family tried to seize my property, grab my land, and destroy my business! I asked everywhere for help, but because I was young, my former friends turned a blind eye. It was really a bleak world. !"
After saying that, he raised his head and tears flowed down his cheeks. Those pirates who were used to fighting and killing couldn't help but feel a little moved at this time.
The pirate boss stepped forward and patted Chen Ping on the shoulder, comforted him, sat down and talked, and asked him a question by the way.
"Then why did you appear in Jianzhou?"
"Just because I was really desperate, I heard that there is some seafood and salt business in Jianzhou. If it is shipped to the inland and sold, the profit is not low, so I made an appointment with this friend and took the housekeeper to come here to try it. Just fight and find a way to survive!"
"Oh," the boss asked again, "What's your father's name?"
"My father, He Yuncong."
Chen Ping's answers were fluent, and no one except Ye Chongwen and Zhao Jin could tell that he had made them all up.
Seeing how sincerely he spoke, the pirate boss gradually lost his guard.
"I didn't expect you to be a miserable person too!"
This boss looks serious and cautious, but in fact he is just bluffing.
As long as they have some understanding of the situation in Zhengxing Mansion, they will not believe Chen Ping's lies.
Chen Ping was betting on an information gap. How could this remote seaside know the situation of a merchant in Zhengxing Prefecture? So he made the right bet.
Ye Chongwen didn't know how to manage his expressions, what his character position was, and how to coordinate with Chen Ping's performance.
So he secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin dropped the grilled fish in his hand, stood up and turned around with a sad look on his face, and sighed deeply.
The two of them sang together and quickly created the image of Chen Ping as a weak scholar who suddenly lost his father and was helpless.
Ye Chongwen: "..."
Why are you all so good, then how should I deal with it???
But the situation was urgent and it was too late for Ye Chongwen to think too much, so he had to bury his head and bite his lip without speaking.
The pirate boss who travels around the world is a man of great loyalty. After hearing this, he angrily cursed.
"Grandma, you have to calculate even a child's family property, you are so damn inhuman!"
"Things have changed, and I don't want to pursue it anymore. I just hate that my father left in a hurry and left some relics but I don't know how to use them..."
As Chen Ping spoke, his eyes glanced at the jade finger with meaning.
The pirate boss sighed and stepped on the stool.
"Although I have never heard of your father, I do know about the incident in Qianzhou. I even delivered goods there before. But you can't use this thing yourself."
The boss picked up the jade ring and waved the others to leave. Zhao Jin and Ye Chongwen were also taken out.
Chen Ping knew that it was finally time for the meaty part, but he didn't act too eagerly and just asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Why is this? Isn't this something from my home?"
"This is your father's thing, not yours. This thing also belongs to others!"
The pirate boss hooked a thin rope from his neck, and there was a jade ring hanging on it.
"Have you seen it? In fact, the thumbnail patterns of each state capital are different, so it is convenient for us to pass the message on. Your father's is a snake pattern, which should represent Qianzhou. I don't know the details."<
/p>
As he said that, he took off the ring ring from his neck and gave it to Chen Ping. "We built the state with sheep patterns."
Chen Ping took the wrench and through the light in the room, he did see that it had sheep-shaped patterns on it and the words '人巳'.
The back of his neck felt slightly numb. It turns out that each state has its own corresponding pattern to distinguish between regions. It seems that this organization is very huge.
This pattern is just like a seal. Just apply ink pad to the signature of the letter and cover it. It is specially used for internal identification.
But what does "Ren Yin" mean, divided according to the twelve o'clock levels?
Chen Ping said cautiously: "I have seen some letters written by my father, and the signature is Ren Yin. It must be a special pronoun."
"Well, you are right." The pirate boss was completely reassured, "I am a human being, and all I do is transport goods to people. But we are just in different places."
"Who is transporting goods to?" Chen Ping had no choice but to take the risk and ask.
"I don't know about that," the pirate shrugged, "We 'people' are not allowed to inquire. Anyway, I handed the goods to our superiors in Jianzhou."
Chen Ping's heart sank. He didn't expect these people to have such strict rules.
"Then I wonder who the superior of Jianzhou is...?"
"Why are you asking this? Jianzhou has no control over Qianzhou's affairs, and you can't use this trigger, so don't even think about it."
Chen Ping saw that he didn't care about saying anything, so he naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions and nodded in agreement.
"I just charge some money to work, no matter if the boss is a human or a ghost!" The pirate boss threw the ring back to him and said nonchalantly. "Your father probably doesn't know either."
Chen Ping caught the finger, and his eyes reflected a little silver light.
He recalled the letters he saw in Ling Mansion, and coupled with what he heard today, it seemed that there was a person in each state who was responsible for taking the lead.
From this perspective, is the Son of Man at the top?
After all, if you sort according to the twelve hours, Zi hour is the first hour.
As for the human character level, wouldn’t there be the earth character and sky character levels?
Could it be that what I have been exposed to for so many years is only the lowest level of this huge organization?
"By the way, your father didn't leave you a contact person? With their help, maybe you can take over this finger-wrenching business." The pirate boss suddenly said this.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Ping suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because he had no idea about this kind of information.
"My father passed away suddenly without any explanation." Chen Ping could only answer like this, otherwise he would be wrong.
The pirate boss nodded suddenly and comforted: "Don't be sad, maybe they will find you after a while."
"They will come to me?" Chen Ping knew this was impossible, because the ring in his hand belonged to Ling Shu, and all channels in Qianzhou seemed to have disappeared.
The pirate boss smiled and said: "Who knows. Keep this finger ring and don't take it out for anything else. If you really need it in the future, someone will naturally come to you."
Separated from different state capitals, the pirate boss doesn't want to cause trouble.
If something big happened accidentally, he couldn't bear it and just wanted to send the person away quickly.
"You eat first, I'll ask someone to bring your things over, and I'll send someone to take you back to town later."
Although Chen Ping felt a little regretful and did not find out much information, at this time, saving his life was the top priority and he quickly said gratefully.
"In that case, I would like to thank you, senior."
