238,238 bait(1/2)
Everyone found a large amount of gold and jewelry on the pirate ship that drifted to Xiankong Island at night.
Zhao Pu summed it up, "Actually, Zhan Zhao can not only pick up corpses, he can also pick up money."
Everyone recalled the money that Zhan Zhao had picked up, and it was indeed a lot of money.
Zhe Ying said, "I heard that the Ministry of Household Affairs has made statistics that the gold found in the Kaifeng Prefecture in solving crimes over the years is equivalent to the money of a national treasury."
The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows very high - what do you mean by doubling the treasury of the Song Dynasty?
Ocher Shadow nodded.
Everyone touched their chins and looked at Zhan Zhao, who was standing on the second floor holding an oil lamp and looking into the window - after cooperating with the wronged souls to ask him to redress their grievances, they also gave him a huge reward!
On the second floor, Brother Xu found that the cabin doors were locked, so he sent someone downstairs to get an ax to open the door.
Zhan Zhao quickly stopped him, "Oh, I can't do it, I can't do it."
Xu Qing looked at Zhan Zhao in confusion.
Bai Yutang also looked at Zhan Zhao who was a little panicked, "Mao'er, what's wrong?"
Zhan Zhao looked around and saw that everyone on Xiangkong Island was looking at him curiously, so he pulled Bai Yutang, "That means - lend me a step to talk!"
Pulling Bai Yu aside, Zhan Zhao whispered, "Do you really want to open the door? The lock is so tight!"
"Then you have to see what's inside, right?" Bai Yutang said.
"But what if there is a corpse?" Zhan Zhao whispered.
Bai Yutang was helpless, "Do you know how many corpses my second brother and third brother have fished out when they went out to sea?"
Zhan Zhao looked at him, "Did the corpse they retrieved contain a murder case and a series of unsolved mysteries?"
Bai Yutang patted him, which meant - don't worry.
Zhan Zhao dragged him and wouldn't let go - that's not good!
Bai Yutang said seriously, "Even if we didn't come to Xiankong Island today, the ship would still drift to the shore! Whether we come or not has nothing to do with whether the ship drifts over or not!"
Zhan Zhao continued to think casually, "That's not what you're saying... Why don't you let the Fourth Master or the Demon King take a look at it to see if it's auspicious or unlucky?"
Bai Yutang thought for a while, then looked back at his third brother.
Xu Qing was still standing there waiting with the ax in his hand, looking curiously at the two people who were hiding and mumbling.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were quite amused at the moment. One wanted to open the door and the other refused to let go. They were back and forth.
Mr. Xu had a bad temper, so he raised his ax and struck it down.
Just after hearing the sound of "clang", Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw sparks flying on the door from the corner of their eyes.
"I go."
Brother Xu's hands were numb from the shock. When he looked at the ax again, he saw that there was a gap in the axe, but the chain that locked the door was motionless.
The third brother waved his hands and took a closer look. There was not even a crack in the iron chain.
Xu Qing was a man of great strength. Although he didn't use his internal strength just now, because he felt that it had been soaked in the sea for so long, it was probably corroded, and he was afraid of breaking the door, but he never expected...
…
The Third Master narrowed his eyes and waved to Bai Yutang, meaning, "Yutang, come and pick the lock!"
Bai Yutang walked over, and Zhan Zhao was still buzzing beside him like a little bee, which made him excited. The lock was so good, who knew what was inside, or he would find an unusual corpse soon.
Bai Yutang also asked him - what kind of corpse is the unusual corpse?
Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Sea corpse? It's very scary!"
The Fifth Master was speechless, "There are sea lions, but they are very cute ones and they can bark."
Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Then why isn't it called a sea dog?"
Fifth Master picked up the object and observed, "Where is the sea cat..."
Zhan Zhao poked him, "Is there a sea cat?"
While holding his hand back, he didn't let him touch the lock.
The two of them were standing at the door, one saying that he wanted to come in and the other saying that he was going in quietly.
In fact, not only Xu Qing was watching, there were also a bunch of people on the deck of the ship.
Lin Yehuo was a little disgusted, "What kind of show is this in the middle of the night!"
Zhao Zhen's legs were numb from squatting on the shore, so he took Nangong with him and went back to accompany his wife and daughter.
Bai Yutang found that he had never seen this kind of lock before, and Fifth Master had opened many locks before, but this was the first time he encountered it.
And there is a strange thing. Although these chains, including the railings on the windows and the patch rivets on the walls, are all rusty, if you scrape off the outer layer of rust, the insides are still shiny and very hard.
Bai Yutang did not take it seriously at first, but now it seemed that it was not simple, so he looked back at Xu Qing.
Although Mr. Xu is making a fuss, he is not stupid - there are some taboos to make a living at sea, and it is right to be cautious. In addition, Zhan Maomao is so against it, Xu Qing loves his younger brother Bai Yutang the most, and Zhan also
Zhao Yi is doting on her, but since Zhan Zhao said not to come in, then he shouldn’t come in.
"Then why don't we just wait until tomorrow morning for the old men to come and take a look? Let's talk about it then." Third Brother asked.
Zhan Zhao nodded and nodded - yes, be careful, Third Brother is right!
Bai Yutang didn't care. According to his idea, no matter what was in it, just push it back to the sea and don't disturb their vacation.
…
It was getting dark now, so everyone decided not to care about the ship. It was stranded and couldn't move anyway, so they went back to rest.
As for the gold and silver treasures on the ship, no one on the island cares about it. Skyfall Island is not short of money, and if this ship is a pirate ship, the money must have been stolen, so there is no need to covet it.
Returning to the shore, everyone went back to rest.
Zhan Zhao and the others went up the mountain to soak in the hot springs and talk to the old men about the boat.
On the mountain, Tianzun and the others were not asleep yet. A group of old men were noisy in the garden, drinking and playing horses. They looked like a group of three-and-a-half-year-olds.
The Demon King made a pot and was cooking seafood skewers. Tianzun and the others were making skewers each, eating and playing at the same time.
Just now Zhan Zhao was wondering why he couldn't find Xiao Wuyinxue. It turned out that all the animals were in the garden. Yaoyao was running around the yard flapping his wings, as if he was catching mosquitoes to eat.
The ball is wrapped in a circle and hung on the corner. From a distance, it looks like it is wearing a crown.
This manor is located at the highest point of Xiankong Island, so you can still see the coast very clearly.
Although the Demon King was making food here, he saw some kind of boat floating on the beach, so he asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang what happened.
A group of children talked all over the place.
The old man thought for a while and asked, "What are those boxes made of?"
"It looks like bronze, quite green."
"They're all tied up with iron chains!"
"That chain is too strong!"
“I don’t know what material it is made of.”
The Demon King heard everyone's description and asked, "Did you really insert a huge harpoon into the hull of the boat?"
Everyone nodded.
"There are gold, silver and jewelry in the cabin and on the ship?"
"Um!"
A group of young people guessed that the Demon King might know something. After all, the old man was well-informed, so they asked together, "What kind of ship is that?"
The demon king held a wine glass and said, "That ship..."
Everyone nodded "Yeah" and waited to hear the story.
Who knew that the old man took a sip of wine and shook his head, "Where can I go?"
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the Demon King dissatisfied.
The Demon King waved his hand, "Except for taking a boat out to the West Sea when I went to the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses, I have basically never been to the sea. I know very little about the legends of the sea."
Everyone was disappointed.
"Nothing!"
The Demon King's voice rose a bit.
Everyone was upset by him. The old man was full and had nothing to do, so he was tormenting the younger generation for fun...
"I think you are right not to open the box."
Everyone is curious - how to say?
"Pirates are robbers on the sea. All bandits in the world have one thing in common, that is, they are greedy for money. They work hard for gold, silver and jewels." The Demon King said with a smile, "Do you know how many pirates drowned in the sea?
?”
Everyone is wondering - probably a lot of them.
