In the hut, there was a dark man repairing the fishing net.
Hearing what the worker said, he raised his head and asked, "Did you see clearly? If I falsely report the news, you will be dead!"
"You see clearly, I laid the planks on which he boarded the ship!"
The workers vowed to do so.
The man put down the twine in his hand and asked, "When did you leave?"
"Two sticks of incense before!"
The worker said: "As soon as he left, I went to Hong Taoping to complain about my stomachache, and then ran all the way to Brother Liu, without any delay."
"For your reward!"
The man took out a bunch of copper coins from his arms and threw them on the ground.
"Thank you, Brother Six! Thank you, Brother Six!"
The worker picked up the string of copper coins and kept bowing to the man.
"Go away!" The man waved his hand impatiently.
"Brother Six, please remember to come to me if you need anything in the future!"
The worker thanked him a few more times, packed up his money and went straight to the casino.
After he left, a middle-aged woman came out of the hut and asked, "Are you going to do him?"
"No need." The man shook his head.
"What if he is caught and turns us in?" the woman asked with a frown.
"This kind of gambler knows best how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. When something happens to Jin Feng, he will naturally know what he has done and will definitely not tell anyone." The man said, "And when we leave, there are people watching him, and they will not tell anyone.
He has a chance to speak."
"Why bother doing so? Wouldn't it be easier to do it now?"
"Although Han Feng left, Jin Feng's Zhongming Group did not withdraw. If he did, he would alert the enemy." Hanzi explained.
"Indeed." The woman nodded: "Consider him lucky."
"It's just a gambler, don't take it to heart." The man said, "Send the carrier pigeon out and inform Mr. Liu that the operation can begin!"
"good!"
The woman agreed and entered the back room again.
After a while, a pigeon flew out of the window of the back room.
"Do you think you can kill Jin Feng this time?"
The woman came out of the back room and asked.
"Who knows, anyway, our work is done and we can evacuate. Whether we can get rid of Jin Feng or not is none of our business."
The man threw away the fishing net: "Pack up your things, we can go back to the Central Plains."
"It has been packed up a long time ago."
The woman took out two packages from the inner room: "I have been exiled here for more than ten years, and I don't know if Lian'er is still alive or grown up..."
"We'll find out when we get back."
The man threw away the fishing net, looked at the dilapidated hut again, took the woman out of the small courtyard, and went straight to the official road without looking back.
When passing by a forest, two arrows suddenly flew out of the forest, hitting both of them in the heart.
The woman fell to the ground with a thud and died after struggling a few times.
The man was covering his wound, staring at the woods with his eyes widened.
He saw several masked men rushing out of the woods and heading straight for him.
The man reached for his waist and wanted to draw the knife to resist, but all the strength in his body disappeared quickly due to the severe pain in his heart. Before he could pull out the knife, he no longer had the strength to stand firm.
Before the masked man could rush in front of him, the man's consciousness completely dissipated.
Without saying a word, the masked people separated into several people and carried the couple into the woods and threw them into a hole that had been dug. The other two people covered the blood stains on the road with soil.
The masked man's technique was very professional. Not only did the road surface look flawless, but even the deep pit where the person was buried was treated exactly the same as the surrounding area.
After doing this, the masked men changed into normal clothes in the woods and dispersed.
From beginning to end, a group of people didn't even say a word.
As for the worker who took the money, he was killed just like the couple before they even got to the casino.
But his body was sunk into the sea.
…
In the East China Sea, Jin Feng had no idea that a giant net had been opened against him, and he was looking around with his telescope.
Because pirates are rampant, they can still see some fishermen at first, but as they go deeper into the sea, they encounter fewer fishermen.
After walking ten miles away from the coastline, I never met a fisherman again.
Today's wind direction is not particularly suitable. The sailors have to constantly adjust the sails to keep moving in a specific direction.
Even so, they only walked less than twenty miles in one day.
Jin Feng's idea of making a steam engine became even stronger.
The era without mechanical power was too troublesome. When sailing on the sea, it all depended on God. When the wind was favorable, you might be able to travel a hundred miles in a day. If the wind was not favorable, you might not be able to travel even ten miles.
Sometimes the ship has to anchor, otherwise it may be blown off course by the wind.
There is nothing we can do about this. We can only blame Jin Feng for his bad luck in going to sea this time.
Zheng Chiyuan sent the navy to Jiaolin Island a few days ago, and it only took more than a day to arrive, but it took Jin Feng a full five days to finally arrive.
Jiaolin Island is indeed as rumored, with banana trees everywhere.
Outside the banana forest is a beach.
The fine, white sand shines in the sunlight, and the sea water is clear and blue.
If it weren't for the several skeletons piled up on the beach, this would definitely be a good place for a vacation.
The sailor parked the boat a few hundred meters away from Jiaolin Island, and then Liu sent a pair of escorts to the island in a small boat.
Gray Pigeon also raised two hot air balloons, one followed the escort to the island, and the other was tied to the fishing boat to keep alert.
Jiaolin Island is not very large, so the escorts conducted separate searches, and it only took half a day to search the island.
"Mr. Report, no pirates have been found on the island, but traces of recent habitation have been found. Judging from the ashes and feces, they have been away for no more than half a month."
The escort who went to the island to investigate came back and reported: "Moreover, we found a new grave to the west of their village. It seems that the person buried in the grave is a foreigner. I have never seen a yellow-haired Japanese, so I didn't dare to confirm, so I asked someone to take the body away."
came back."
After saying that, the bodyguard waved to the back, and the two bodyguards carried a cloth bag and placed it on the deck.
When he untied the bag, a thick rotten smell immediately filled the deck.
No bodyguard is afraid of death. Even Tang Xiaobei has seen many people starve to death on the roadside.
He took out two handkerchiefs from his pocket, handed one to Jin Feng, and then stretched his head to look at the bag curiously.
Jin Feng took the handkerchief, covered his nose like Tang Xiaobei, and opened the bag with a stick.
The body must have been buried for some time, and the body was severely decomposed.
But Jin Feng still judged from the opponent's yellow hair, aquiline nose, and protruding blue eyes that the opponent was indeed a Westerner.
"It's a yellow-haired devil," Jin Feng nodded: "Tie the body with rocks and throw it to the bottom of the sea."
He was not a forensic doctor, and the corpse was too badly decomposed for him to see anything else. It was too smelly to leave it on the ship.
"By the way sir, we also found this in the coffin."
The captain of the escort said and asked someone to bring over a long sword.
Jin Feng looked at the sword and his eyes suddenly lit up.
