Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 42 The Fisherman's Husband
The two came to the provincial capital, and Xiao Zimo brought Wu Bai to the bookstore.
The shopkeeper of the bookstore saw Xiao Zimo bringing a little brother over alone, his eyes were full of surprise, and he didn't know what the relationship between the two was.
In fact, the last time Xiao Zimo brought Wu Bai and others over, the shopkeeper probably glanced at them, and didn't think much about it, because several of them were present at the time, but this time it was different, only Wu Bai was alone, which highlighted the Come out, especially when the shopkeeper was going to welcome Xiao Zimo to the special private room upstairs, Xiao Zimo actually wanted to take Wu Bai upstairs together, and he didn't shy away from it at all.
"Master, what is this?" The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before asking.
He decided that it would be better to ask him personally, in case he guessed the wrong relationship and treated this little brother in an inappropriate way, it would be bad if it caused the dissatisfaction of the master.
Xiao Zimo was also worried that the shopkeeper would treat Wu Bai poorly, so he took Wu Bai's hand and replied, "This is your future lord. When you see him in the future, respect him as you would treat me."
"Yes." The shopkeeper replied, and then hurriedly took Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai upstairs to guide them.
When the three of them arrived in the private room, there were already four or five people waiting inside.
"Master is well." Everyone saluted Xiao Zimo.
"Sit down!" Xiao Zimo ordered.
"Yes." After everyone sat down, they also looked at Wu Bai in surprise.
Xiao Zimo was annoyed by their staring at Wu Bai. He tapped on the table lightly, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then introduced again: "This is your future lord. Don't take it lightly in the future." lazy."
Everyone glanced at Wu Bai again, then lowered their heads and said, "Yes."
"Why are there only a few of you?" Xiao Zimo asked.
"Back to Master, everyone else has gone out to continue looking for news. We are staying here to wait for news from Master, so that Master can't find us when he comes." One of the men in brown clothes replied.
"How is the matter that you asked to investigate before?" Xiao Zimo asked.
"This..." The subordinate glanced at Wu Bai with some embarrassment, and then thought that since Xiao Zimo brought the other party here, he must not have to hide the other party, so he went on: "We have already We have found some clues, but we still haven't thoroughly investigated it, but we found that in the past two days, the other party seems to be quietly buying a large amount of kerosene."
"Fire oil? Have you found out what the other party is buying this for?"
"Not yet, the subordinates are still investigating, but the name used by the other party is to use rockets when the enemy attacks, so they will prepare kerosene."
Xiao Zimo nodded, and said: "Well, you should find out the use of the other party's kerosene as soon as possible. If it is used normally, he should not be so secretive."
Yangjiang Province is close to the sea, and the sea trade is developed. There are countless ships that come and go every day. Although this has improved the economy of these areas in the South China Sea, it also breeds many pirates. There is a navy with 1 people under the command of the Governor of the Navy, Tang Maode, who is usually responsible for the safety of ships passing by in Yangjiang Province.
Since the establishment of this navy, the chances of being killed by ships going out to sea have dropped significantly. Although pirates cannot be completely prohibited from committing crimes, this is already the best way.
It’s just that in recent years, pirates have become more and more rampant for some reason. Not long ago, they even robbed the boat that the eldest princess’ son-in-law was returning home to pay homage to, resulting in the death of the son-in-law. The emperor knew that the water was deep here, and it was not easy to destroy these pirates, so he quietly sent his confidant Xiao Zimo here to investigate.
Since ancient times, there have been many collusions between officials and businessmen, officials and bandits. Pirates in Yangjiang Province are rampant. This is definitely related to Tang Maode, the governor of the navy. Xiao Zimo asked his subordinates to investigate whether Tang Maode had colluded with pirates. But Xiao Zimo couldn't just convict Tang Maode based on guesswork, he still needed evidence.
So when he heard his subordinates report that Tang Maode had been quietly buying kerosene recently, he immediately realized that this was a breakthrough, and ordered his subordinates to investigate this matter clearly.
Then after giving the order, he remembered the name 'Yan Shaoyuan' that Wu Bai had mentioned before. He beckoned one of his subordinates to come over, and told the other party this name softly, and asked the other party to check this person.
Seeing this, Wu Bai didn't say anything, he believed that Xiao Zimo would not hurt himself, so even if Xiao Zimo ordered his subordinates in a low voice at this moment, he didn't have any doubts.
After explaining everything, Xiao Zimo took Wu Bai to the downstairs again. He asked the shopkeeper to prepare a carriage for him. After all, he will often travel between Yangjiang Province and Haining Village in the future. It will be convenient to have a carriage a lot of.
The shopkeeper immediately ordered the waiter in the store to lead out the carriage tied to the backyard.
"No, let's go shopping first, and come back later when we are about to leave," Xiao Zimo said.
"Yes." The shopkeeper waved his hand to tell the waiter to go on with his work instead of pulling the carriage.
The two of them had just left the bookstore, and before they had walked far, Wu Bai heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Yin Yun.
"Brother Bai, I didn't expect to meet you by such a coincidence." Yin Yun held Wu Bai's hand and said with a smile.
"Yeah, what a coincidence to meet you again." Wu Bai responded with a smile, then turned to Yin Yun and asked, "Who are these two beside you?"
Yin Yun let go of Wu Bai's hand, and grabbed the person beside him who was wearing ice blue brocade, and said, "Brother Bai, this is the young brother of the Wen family, the richest man in Yangjiang Province, whom I mentioned to you last time." , Wen Ke, my good friend."
Then he pointed to the man in black brocade next to Wen Ke, and said, "That is Brother Ke's fiancé, Xue Yushu. The two have recently become engaged and will get married at the end of the year."
"That's great, then I congratulate the two of you for getting married soon!" Wu Bai congratulated Wen Ke and the two.
Wen Ke heard this, and lowered his head shyly.
The fiance next to him looked at him with a smile unconsciously in his eyes.
Seeing the appearance of the two people, they should have mutual intentions, but Wu Bai wondered why Wen Ke fell in love with Yan Shaoyuan later, and even provoked Tang Ling for Yan Shaoyuan, and was finally destroyed by Tang Ling's father and Yan Shaoyuan's family. Wu Bai thought again that Wen Ke's fiancé didn't seem to appear in the book he was reading. Could it be that something happened to the other party and he disappeared?That's why Wen Ke fell in love with Yan Shaoyuan later?
Wu Bai's head was full of question marks, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Then he heard Yin Yun say: "I'm afraid it won't work to get married as soon as possible. Brother Xue will leave for the capital to participate in the Qiuxiu in two days. You have to pass the exam before you can rush back to marry Brother Ke. At that time, Brother Ke My son is the official husband, hee hee..."
Hearing this, a flash of understanding flashed in Wu Bai's eyes, yes, Xue Yushu must have had an accident when he went to Beijing, that's why there was no news about him, and Wen Ke also fell in love with Yan Shaoyuan, a ruthless man, and was eventually punished by that man His family was ruined.
Although Wen Ke and Wen Ke had just met this side, Wu Bai had a good impression of them, and he didn't want the two to end up like in the book, so he reminded them: "Yangjiang Province is far away from the capital, and the journey is far away. It's hard and dangerous, Mr. Xue can bring more people, it's safer, and I want to drink a glass of wine with you at the end of the year."
Wu Bai wanted to remind them out of good intentions, but it didn't mean that to the ears of Wen Ke and the others. It always felt like a hint of curse. Fortunately, both of them had good family backgrounds, and they didn't show anything wrong , He just frowned slightly and regained his composure.
But they didn't want to continue to get along with Wu Bai. The two looked at each other and understood that the other had the same idea as themselves. As a man, Xue Yushu took the initiative to say: "Sorry everyone, I want to go shopping alone with Ke Geer I won’t be with you for the time being.”
"It's okay, you two can go shopping together!" Yin Yun didn't find anything wrong, he just felt that the two of them were fiancés, and it was normal for them to want to be alone.
He suddenly thought that he had been a big light bulb before, disturbing the relationship between the two of them, and felt a little frustrated. He raised his head and wanted to tell Wu Bai his awakening just now, but he saw that Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo had a tacit understanding Looking at each other, all the words stuck in his throat, and he forgot that these two people are also a couple.
Thinking of this, Yin Yun suddenly thought of Haizan's big log, and became even more depressed.
The reason why Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo looked at each other was because they both found out that Wen Ke and Wen Ke rejected them. Wu Bai was a little helpless. He really wanted to remind the other party, but this might happen in the future. It happened, his reminder sounded really bad, if he was a Taoist priest or monk, maybe it could be said that saving a life by a monk was better than building a seven-level pagoda, so that Xue Yushu and Wen Ke would not be angry.
Thinking of this, Wu Bai patted his head, thinking: Yes, why didn't I think of this just now, I shouldn't have just reminded them directly, but should find someone pretending to be a Taoist priest or something to remind them, so that , In the spirit of preferring to believe what is there or not to believe what is not, Wen Ke and the others should also make more preparations, alas, I wonder if it is too late for me to find a Taoist priest?
"Looking for a Taoist priest? What are you looking for a Taoist priest for?" Yin Yun asked.
Only then did Wu Bai realize that he had said the last sentence unknowingly, he quickly waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, it's just a rare visit to Yangjiang Province, I don't know if there are any temples or Taoist temples nearby to visit. ?”
"Yes, I know one. It's a famous temple nearby, but it must be too late to go today." Yin Yun said regretfully.
"It's okay, we can go together another day!" Wu Bai said.
"Well, it's settled. When I go back today, I must finish the account book early. Then I will have enough time to play." Yin Yun said happily.
Seeing Yin Yun's energetic appearance, Wu Bai couldn't quite match him with the Yin Yun in his original memory. He felt that although Yin Yun in his original memory had the same shrewdness as now, he was not as energetic. vitality.
A few people were shopping, but Xiao Zimo suddenly grabbed Wu Bai and said, "I seem to have seen sea pearls and sea stones just now."
"What? Haizhu and Haishi, you read that right? Why are they here?" Wu Bai asked in surprise.
"I know, they came to see Haizan. When they came to the store before, I happened to check the accounts in that store." Yin Yun said.
After hearing Yin Yun's words, Xiao Zimo looked thoughtfully at the corner where Haizhu and the others disappeared.
The shopkeeper of the bookstore saw Xiao Zimo bringing a little brother over alone, his eyes were full of surprise, and he didn't know what the relationship between the two was.
In fact, the last time Xiao Zimo brought Wu Bai and others over, the shopkeeper probably glanced at them, and didn't think much about it, because several of them were present at the time, but this time it was different, only Wu Bai was alone, which highlighted the Come out, especially when the shopkeeper was going to welcome Xiao Zimo to the special private room upstairs, Xiao Zimo actually wanted to take Wu Bai upstairs together, and he didn't shy away from it at all.
