Li Ergou pretended to be surprised and said:

"Why go to Heiyu Island for no reason?"

Bai Tao looked surprised and said:

"Didn't you say you wanted to go back? If you go back, don't you mean going back to Blackfish Island?"

Li Ergou suddenly laughed wildly, and the other pirate gangs around him also laughed together.

The laughter was so earth-shattering that it made Bai Tao's heart tremble.

"You...why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

Bai Tao's confused expression made all the pirates laugh so hard that they almost couldn't stand upright.

After a long while, Li Ergou finally stopped laughing, patted Bai Tao on the shoulder and said:

"Bai Tao, Bai Tao, you are really teasing me to death. Who told you that our home is Heiyu Island?"

At this moment, Bai Tao finally felt that something seemed a little wrong.

He hurriedly ran to find the second master standing at the bow:

"Second... second master, they... what do they mean?"

Jiang Hong didn't dare to talk to Bai Tao at this time. He just looked at Li Ergou with a troubled face and said:

"Brother Li, you think this man is too confused. Should you remind him?"

Li Ergou laughed loudly:

"What's the point of reminding me? You'll know everything when you go back anyway.

This idiot is quite funny. Seeing how happy you are for us, I won't hit you.

Let’s wait until the gang leader and the young master come back to decide what to do with you.”

Bai Tao looked at Jiang Hong in disbelief:

"Second Master, why are you so polite to this little guy?

Why don't my elder brother kill you if you are like this?"

Jiang Hong looked at him like an idiot, and then said coldly:

"Let's ask your eldest brother to come back to life first.

Also, I’m no longer the second-in-command of the Haima Gang, so don’t scream, or I’ll beat you up.”

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving Bai Tao standing alone on the bow of the boat, letting the wind mess him up.

…

After Hou Yao learned that Liu Fu had been released, he took his mother home.

When they arrived, they each had a small baggage. When they returned, they hired three oxcarts to load everything.

One cart contains clothes and sundries bought by Zhou Yu, and the other cart contains medicinal materials bought by Hou Yao.

The reason for buying the medicinal materials was that Hou Fu must have suffered from being in prison for so long.

So I need to buy more medicinal materials to nourish myself, but in fact it’s just to deceive others.

What Hou Yao really needs is saltpeter and sulfur.

Gunpowder was a strictly controlled military secret in Daxia.

Saltpeter and sulfur are both the main raw materials for making gunpowder, and are also subject to strict supervision.

If purchased separately, it will quickly attract the attention of the ubiquitous Daxia secret guards.

In order to deceive others, we can only adopt this safer method.

However, this also caused Zhou Yu to be extremely dissatisfied.

Along the way, Zhou Yu complained about Hou Yao for wasting his money.

In addition, she was holding back a lot of grievances. She hadn't had enough fun yet.

How nice it is to live in an inn, with clothes on hand and food on hand, mouth open. Isn’t it more comfortable than at home?

When I got home, I had to cook by myself, and I had to face Liu Fu's confused and serious face.

Thinking about it makes me feel aggrieved. I can't count on that good-for-nothing husband in this life. Fortunately, my son is promising.

Otherwise I might starve to death for the rest of my life.

"Yao'er, thank you for not being as stupid as your father, otherwise our family would starve to death.

It's better to do business, you can make a lot of money, which is better than farming."

Hou Yao could only laugh twice. In the past two days, in order to explain why he suddenly had so much money, he

He lied and claimed that he earned the money from doing business with other people.

Scholars have the privilege of tax exemption, so there are often shrewd businessmen who put their properties under the name of scholars.

Every year, a little bit of profit will be given to the talents,

However, for scholars, this tax-free privilege is not unlimited.

One person can only be exempted from two shops at most.

Therefore, if some people are not satisfied with just a small share of profits, they will ask for a share, that is, to join the business.

Hou Yao lied about buying shares in the company, thus deceiving the source of the money.

"Mom, I just got a little bit of money, so I can share more of the profits.
