Chapter 58 Unexpected Discovery
After more than ten days of water and land trekking, the caravan where Bai Shier was finally arrived in Yingtian.
Naturally, Mato Hirota, who was also in the caravan, finally left the dangerous Ningbo Mansion as he wished and came to his dream hiding place.
Mato Hirota left on the excuse, and Bai Shier immediately followed him quietly.
Although the caravan manager found that one person was missing when he was counting, he chose to turn a blind eye to everyone after discovering that he did not lack any goods because of this.
The wages were only a small one. He did not even take over Bai Shier's wages, but took them out completely and distributed them to others evenly, treating them as a silence fee.
More often, I am worried that it will cause trouble.
The businessman has a low status and will be repeatedly made difficult for him when nothing happens. If he reports the case because of Bai Shier's departure, he will not get any share of the benefits, and instead will attract greedy officials to himself.
Not to mention, in the end, these officials may not be able to really capture the disappearing Bai Shier. What's more, it may be that the case hastily closed after eating.
And he will cause another trouble.
After all, I tried my best to get into the caravan and disappeared after arriving at the destination. Such people are not easy to mess with.
Therefore, if he spends money to cause trouble for himself, he will only do this if his mind is in a state of pain.
...
Bai Shier obviously guessed what the caravan manager thought long ago, so he changed his clothes without any scruples and secretly followed Mato Hirota who had left.
The bandits pass like combs, and the soldiers pass like combs.
He has witnessed this truth with his own eyes, so he is sure that the other party will not report the case because of his departure.
He didn't know that Mato Hirota, who had a tail behind him, had not changed his outfit. His outfit might be at risk of being seen in Ningbo Prefecture, but in this completely unfamiliar place, he was confident that even if he changed back to his original appearance, no one would know who he was.
However, he also knew that it would be absolutely not enough to live in this prosperous place to live alone by relying on the dozen taels of silver left on him, and in order to live here safely, it would definitely not be possible to rely on stealing.
Although he was the clear object of the entire first team, he didn't want to have too much contact with the government. So what he had to consider next was how to use the dozen taels of silver in his hand to find a career that could make a living for himself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the reins in his hand.
There is a shortage of horses in the south. Even Yingtian, who is Liudu, is a popular cargo. It may be much cheaper than when I bought it in Ningbo Prefecture, but now for him, money is still more important.
"Luojia, where is the cattle and horse market in the city?"
When he thought of it, he did it. Mato Hirota immediately asked a pedestrian beside him where the market for trading cattle and horses was.
When Bai Shier, who was following Hirota Mato, saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He was originally worried that if Mato Hirota arrived at Yingtian, he would continue to follow the caravan and go to other places, but now judging from his actions inquiring about Niuma City, Mato Hirota seemed to want to stay here for a long time.
This is undoubtedly good news for him.
However, did Hirota Mato didn’t know that Takatahara Head Office was in Yingtian?
With his eyes narrowed, Bai Shier's eyes looked at Mato Hirota became sharper.
Could it be that the content in Su Liangfeng's confession is fake? Gao Tianyuan's general hall is not in Yingtian?
Or was Gao Tianyuan's main hall originally moved to Yingtian after the chaos ended?
If it was the first type, the time for Su Liangfeng to escape was really right. He just ran out of the Jinyiwei prison when the insult was about to be revealed.
If it is the second type, then whether the Japanese are the ones in Gaotianyuan Hall are the mastermind or the Han people keep their word, it may be a big question mark.
Bai Shier couldn't help but recall the special envoy of Gaotianyuan General Hall whom he had seen and heard of.
Needless to say, the Su brothers with the pseudonym Su Muzhixiong and Su Muliangzhi, their ancestors had a grudge against their grandfather Changsheng Jian, and they were definitely Han people. Another one mentioned by Mato Hirota that once informed the first team to convene the meeting of the main hall, and it seemed that they were also a Han people with the name of Japanese.
The three envoys of the General Office are all Han people, and Bai Shier doesn't think this is just a coincidence.
Maybe I was still helping Masao Mato, the old fox, accidentally.
Recalling the death of Saburo Fujiwara, the captain of the third team, and Su Muzhixiong replaced him as the captain of the commander, Bai Shier touched his chin and the expression on his face became playful.
He was on Chu Island at that time, and the reason he did this on purpose was more to disgust Mato Masao, the old fox, but if his guess was correct, his actions might make Masao Masao alert.
However, this may be a good thing for me.
Bai Shier's face showed a little smile.
Maybe I didn't have to take action anymore. Masao Mato, who was already alert in his heart, would mess up the Takatahara's main hall conference and completely muddle the water.
...
While Bai Shier was thinking like this, Masao Mato was bidding farewell to Su Liangfeng with a kind smile on his face.
Since Su Liangfeng followed Mato Toshima a few days ago, he urgently came to Chujima with Mato Toshima, informed Mato Mato of everything, and comforted Mato Toshima with kind words, saying that the actions and guarantees that disrupted the first team before Bai Shier was just made up by him, Mato Mato has always had such a kind smile on his face when facing Su Liangfeng, and seemed to have completely believed what Su Liangfeng said.
Until today, Su Liangfeng was sent to the sea boat leaving Chudao, sent him back to land, and returned to the main hall to report the situation.
"Captain..."
Seeing that the sea boat Su Liangfeng was riding had only a black spot left in his eyes, the captain of the first team beside him could not help but feel confused and wanted to persuade Masao Mato.
"Okay, you don't need to say anything. I know very well what you want to say."
The kind smile on Masao Masao's face has long disappeared, and replaced by the seriousness and even coldness of the past.
"Captain,"
The team leaders who wanted to persuade him couldn't help but look happy, and then they had some enlightenment.
"Then the reason why you... are just to confuse Su Liangfeng?"
"Hmph, this is natural."
Masao Masao Masao snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Although I'm old, I'm not yet at the age of being confused."
Masao Masao, like an old farmer, inserted his hands into his sleeves, and his eyes were still staring at the ship that was about to disappear.
"That Su I, Zhixiong, may be fake, but the words he said were not false. Even an outsider could see clearly. Do you think I would throw it behind my head just because of Su Liangfeng's few words of comfort and praise?"
Everyone was silent and dared not answer.
