Traveling through the world of Paper Wedding Dress

Chapter 134: Pirate with an Eyepatch

Xun Yuanfeng found a bill in the corner after a search, and it was signed by "Outside Chamber of Commerce". Ping Zang also saw the bill: "Outside Chamber of Commerce? I have never heard of such a chamber of commerce on the outlying islands... If it is an out-of-town chamber of commerce, then the possibility of smuggling is even greater."

"Well... Well, I have a preliminary guess. First..."

"Hey! Who is it?!" Two soldiers shouted loudly, interrupting Heizo's reasoning.

Seeing someone coming, Paimon panicked: "It's over! We've been discovered!"

"Huh? This is... the captain?!" The two soldiers walked up and found that it was someone they knew.

"It turned out to be the captain. I was scared to death. I thought it was a thief. It was such a false alarm, hahahaha."

"Captain, do you remember us? When the war broke out, Shoji and I were in the wounded camp. Teppei brought you to see us, and you even found some medicine for us."

Xun Yuanfeng looked as if he had suddenly realized something: "It's you guys, how are you doing recently?"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "We are fine! Captain, don't worry."

At this time, another sergeant next to him exposed him: "What are you talking about? Captain, you don't know that the general suddenly fainted on the front line before. The doctor said that he might have a brain problem caused by excessive excitement. It's very dangerous. If he hadn't been taking medicine later, the doctor said that the worst case scenario would be dementia!"

Although he sounded like he was complaining, the concern and worry in his eyes could not be faked.

Masashi immediately retorted, "You are the one who has become demented, and you still have the nerve to criticize me. Why did I faint? It was because I heard that you were shot and died, and I was so angry. Later I found out that Tokuda was shot in the buttocks and was fine. I wasted my time."

Tokuda immediately said anxiously: "How can it be okay? I was hit by two arrows in a row. Two arrows! The first arrow was on the left, and the second arrow was also on the left!"

"The arrowhead was poisonous, and the wound has not healed yet. I apply medicine every day, and I am worried that it will burst open when I sleep."

"Puchi" Xun Yuanfeng and Paimeng couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard their conversation.

Maybe that smile was a little too arrogant. Xun Yuanfeng felt a little embarrassed when being stared at by the two of them: "Ahem... Sorry."

"By the way, Captain, are you here for something this time?" Tokuda asked puzzledly.

"It's because of these goods." Xun Yuanfeng pointed.

"Oh, these goods, they were seized from the Nobushige and the treasure-stealing group. They were intelligence given to us by Uncle Hong. He said there were criminals somewhere, so we went over and captured them all, and seized the supplies at the same time."

"By the way, Captain, you don't know Uncle Hong yet, right? We are working for him now. A while ago, Lord Coral Palace announced some plans to boost the economy and formed a caravan. Uncle Hong is the head of the caravan."

Masashi: "He is amazing. Although he was just a farmer before, he has now run a prosperous caravan. Moreover, his two sons are also our comrades-in-arms. They have also won special merits awarded by Lord Goro. Isn't that amazing?"

Tokuda: "So all of us wounded veterans have now been transferred to Uncle Hong. Our actions are arranged by Uncle Hong, and our salaries are also paid by Uncle Hong."

After hearing this, Xun Yuanfeng fell into deep thought. Wasn't it too frequent for this Uncle Hong to appear in the show? And where did he get the information? According to Tokuda and Masashi, Uncle Hong was just a farmer and he shouldn't have such a big power to get this information, unless there was someone behind him. Thinking about how Goro had been evasive before, could it be that the person behind him was actually Goro or Xinhai?

But this only clarifies a small part of it, and there are still many things that are not understood.

Heizo: "I see. I think I understand. Can I ask a question? Where are these prisoners now?"

The commander looked at the person they had ignored before and looked at Xun Yuanfeng: "Who is this?"

"Don't worry, you are my friend."

After hearing what Xun Yuanfeng said, the two men relaxed their guard, obviously trusting him very much: "Captain's friend, it doesn't matter, we have captured the criminals and temporarily suppressed them not far ahead."

"It's just that Jiang Si and I have a mission tonight and can't get away. How about you wait a while and I'll find someone else to come for you."

Xun Yuanfeng immediately waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You guys go and do your work. We can go there by ourselves."

After Xun Yuanfeng and the other two walked away, they looked at Ping Zang.

"I roughly know what's going on. I just need to get final confirmation from those people. Traveler, let's go."

Shikanoin Heizo immediately understood, but Xun Yuanfeng was still a little confused.

Ping Zang looked at Xun Yuanfeng's expression and obviously understood his confusion: "Are you a little confused? Haha, let me tell you, this is very similar to a case I once handled. It was a contraband transaction, and there was an old trick involved."

"The criminal first wandered around the street and deliberately knocked down a passerby. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he secretly put the goods into the passerby's pocket. After the recipient learned the news, he made an excuse to cause trouble for the passerby and then robbed him of everything in his pocket."

Xun Yuanfeng seemed to understand a little bit. The passerby was the Yefu people and the treasure-stealing group, and the recipient was Wulang's side, but who the criminal was was still unknown. Also, if this transaction was really made by Xinhai, why was it so secretive? Haizhi Island was managed by Xinhai, so there was no need to hide these convoluted things from everyone?

Ping Zang asked a follower of Yefuzhong for questioning. When the man saw Xun Yuanfeng and Ping Zang, he immediately begged for mercy in fear: "Master! Master, spare my life! I am just a small character."

Hearing his address, Heizo asked angrily, "Do I look old? Does the person next to me look old?"

The little follower immediately changed his address to "Little Master! Little Master!"

Heizo didn't dwell on this question: "Answer me a few questions first."

"You said it, you said it."

"The officers and soldiers found a lot of good stuff in your camp. It shouldn't be local stuff, right? Where did it come from?"

"Ah? Those goods? I picked them up from the beach!"

"Picked it up?"

Maybe because Heizo's tone sounded a little dangerous, he immediately changed his words: "Ah, no, no... I stole it, I stole it."

"Be honest, tell me everything, and explain the whole story to me!"

Perhaps he felt his intimidation, so the little follower dared not hide the truth: "Yes, yes, young master, we robbed the goods from a small merchant ship on the beach, but we didn't actually rob them all, because the guards of the merchant ship ran away when they saw us brothers, not caring about the goods, so we picked them up. But before we could be happy for long, a team of soldiers came and caught us all in one fell swoop. Don't you think we were unlucky? The goods flew away before we could even warm them up, and even we were caught!"

"Oh, the caravan guards didn't dare to take action and just turned around and ran away?"

"I guess they were scared and didn't dare to do anything. I'm not bragging, our boss has such big muscles and fighting power, everyone is afraid of him! A while ago, a group of us even scared off a group of soldiers. They ran away when they saw us, and the goods were lost. I still remember that batch of goods included a lot of coral pearls and crystallized bone marrow. The luster and appearance were amazing!" He sighed, "It's a pity that they were robbed by a group of pirates. Our boss had a stomachache that day and didn't beat them. Alas, he was so unlucky."

Heizo asked suspiciously, "Pirates?"

The Nobushi followers said, "They are not pirates. They came from a big ship. The leader is a beautiful woman with an eye patch... I didn't expect them to be so fierce."
