"Take me to find him!" Tang Zheng slapped a few banknotes on the bar, pulled the intelligence man and left.
The dozen or so people immediately surrounded them, and even the intelligence man began to struggle.
"I've told you everything you want, what else do you want?"
Tang Zheng's answer was simple. He slapped the big ear scraper directly, causing the corners of the intelligence man's mouth to swell and spit out two teeth.
"You have no right to refuse. Either obey or die." Tang Zheng dragged the intelligence man away like a dead dog.
A man didn't want to get out of the way, so he was kicked away and a table was smashed over.
The thugs from the tavern showed up, but when they saw Tang Zheng was about to leave, they didn't take action. If you can avoid provoking such a tough fight, you should try your best to let him go.
The old man's home is in an alley, and it takes ten minutes to get there.
Tang Zheng did not waste this time and asked the intelligence man in detail about the information on the sea. This guy had no chance to lie.
Tang Zheng's hearing and observation skills were so good that whenever the intelligence man hesitated or his heartbeat increased, he would be beaten severely and he would be too frightened to say anything.
"Didn't you hear that? Go get the chart, or we'll wait to collect his body!" Tang Zheng yelled at the men following him, "Or I'll kill him."
Tang Zheng didn't pay much attention at first, but when he saw those men panicking and following behind, he knew that he had caught a big fish. No matter what the identity of the man in his hands was, he was still very important to them.
The old man's home lives in a dilapidated alley, and it takes fifteen minutes to walk there.
"Is this here?" Looking at the dilapidated house covered with ivy in front of him, Tang Zheng frowned. Because the door was closed, there were several men standing outside.
Although these people were disguised, the protective clothing exposed around their necks proved their identities and that they were survivors.
Seeing Tang Zheng's arrival, these people immediately showed their weapons as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Boom, the white dwarf star above Tang Zheng's head. Gravity suppresses the full radiation.
"Stranger. Fighting is not allowed here, otherwise you will not get anything from me!" An old voice came out, warning Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng carried the information man and walked towards the door.
A conqueror stared at Tang Zheng eagerly and was not prepared to get out of the way. Anyway, no action was allowed here. Let's see what he would do.
"Looking for death!" Tang Zheng didn't care about this. The gravity restraint suppressed him with all his strength. He just raised his leg and kicked him. If he didn't kill anyone, he could teach him a lesson, right?
Bang, the conqueror tried his best to block it, but still fell into the room. Although he was not injured, he was very embarrassed.
"The stranger who turns a deaf ear to my words, you are not welcome here."
The survivors were immediately happy. As long as Tang Zheng was driven away, he would not be able to buy a sea-going ship.
"I have a big business deal with you. This person is preventing you from getting rich. Shouldn't you teach him a lesson?" Tang Zheng entered the living room and saw an old man sitting on the sofa. He was drinking tea. Opposite him was the man with a little cinnabar between his eyebrows.
Indian women.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Tang Zheng opened the suitcase and poured out the banknotes inside.
"There is nothing that you don't have, and there is nothing that I can't afford." Tang Zheng showed a ferocious smile, stared at the Cinnabar girl, and talked to the old man, "Compared to this kind of rubbish, I am more suitable for cooperation."
"It's shameless words." Although the old man denied it, he didn't care about it for the sake of money.
"Tang Zheng, don't push yourself too far." Cinnabar Girl was angry.
"I will settle the matter with you carefully when we get to sea!" Tang Zheng walked straight to the sofa and sat down.
"I want to buy a seagoing ship, and I want the biggest one with the most cannons!" Tang Zheng looked directly at the old man, observing his every move.
"Where did you get the money?" Cinnabar girl frowned. She realized that she was at a disadvantage. It's not that she had never tried to rob the rich man, but those guys' bodyguards were so powerful that they couldn't succeed.
"Is there something wrong with you? Do you think I will tell you?" Tang Zheng sneered.
"Isn't it just to kill big pirates and earn bounties? What's there to hide?" The man with Buddhist beads strode into the living room and nodded towards the cinnabar woman.
"Stop arguing, don't you want to buy a seagoing ship? Here it is!" The old man took out a suitcase from under the sofa, opened it, and showed the model inside, "You can choose what you want, but don't blame me for not reminding you.
You guys will die if you can't pay."
The cinnabar girl's eyes flickered, and she had the idea of grabbing him hard.
"How does this work?" The Buddha Bead Man was very curious. Everyone was fearless and used to seeing strange and magical things, so they didn't think the old man was entertaining everyone.
"If you throw it into the sea, it's just a ship. Of course, I will also provide sailors and gunners. It depends on whether you can afford them." The old man showed a confident expression, "Don't even think about robbing them, let alone killing them.
If you don't kill me, once I die, these boats will be useless, and no one will sell them to you anymore."
"We have always been innocent!" Cinnabar Girl opened her eyes and told lies. She reached out and picked the largest sea ship. "I want this ship. How much does it cost?"
"One price, one million gold coins!"
"I think you can also see that we can't afford your seagoing ship, so you must have a solution!" The Buddha beads man was very calm.
"You're smart, you can get credit, but you have to pay it back within the time limit. If you still don't pay, then I'm sorry, your soul belongs to me."
"Okay!" Cinnabar said in her heart that I will go to sea directly. When the deadline is reached, where will you find me?
"Haha, sign this contract. As long as the debt is not repaid by the deadline, your heads will explode immediately."
The old man took out three pieces of parchment, which were covered with strange runes. Tang Zheng and the others couldn't understand them at all, but they had no choice.
Cinnabar Girl chose the largest ship. After some hesitation, Buddha Pearl Man chose three medium-sized sailing ships. The total number of cannons added up was more than Cinnabar Girl's. The larger number allowed for more flexible tactics.
"Sorry, you don't have enough credibility. You can only choose one ship, and the price is less than 500,000 gold coins." The old man shook his head, and the two of them were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" With the Buddha Pearl Man's good temper, he couldn't help but complain. This was a waste of time.
"If I don't let you appreciate the superiority of sea-going ships, how can you come to take care of my business next time?" The old man sipped tea.
"Would you like to have tea together? I have something to tell you!" Cinnabar Girl picked the boat and directly extended an invitation to Buddha Bead Man.
"Isn't it just cooperation? I agree." The Buddha Pearl Man immediately guessed what the Cinnabar Woman meant.
The more ships there are, the greater the possibility of blocking merchant ships. Cooperation in the early stage is undoubtedly the most correct approach.
"Choose two more gunners!" Cinnabar Girl understood that sailors can be recruited in the tavern, but gunners are skilled, and having a sharpshooter can sink the opponent faster.
The Buddhist beads man also bought two. He wanted to get more, but he didn't have enough money.
"They are obviously targeting you, aren't you worried?" The old man looked at the two people leaving and stared at Tang Zheng.
"My enemy has always been the whole world, who do they count?" Tang Zheng deliberately showed an arrogant attitude, picked up two medium-sized warships, and signed his name on the contract.
"I told you that if you exceed the deadline, you will die."
"It seems that your information is very ill-informed. My first ship is parked in the port now!" Tang Zheng pointed to the money on the ground, "The pirate leader is really a model worker. He not only donated his head, but also let me exchange for the bounty.
, and even sent a boat.”
"Don't you want to buy the gunner?" Seeing that Tang Zheng was about to leave, the old man promoted the product.
"No need, I have a more powerful gunner!" Tang Zheng walked out of the living room with the intelligence man. His companion was already waiting outside with a chart.
This is a more detailed nautical chart, which marks several important waterways that big merchants have traveled for a long time, as well as some nearby trails, which are the hiding places of some pirates.
"Do you have any grudge against these pirates?" Tang Zheng thought that he would not be able to help his opponents unconditionally, so he would have to play some tricks.
"Well, if you can kill them, we will pay you a reward." A man said bluntly. If you pull out these nails, this sea area will be their world.
"Are you responsible for selling the stolen goods?" Tang Zheng could see that these guys were doing a lot, and there must be big forces behind them.
"Then let's see if your goods are attractive to us." This guy is a manager, and he won't be humble or silent when the deadline is overdue.
"Very good, go away!" Tang Zheng was originally planning to kill the intelligence man. He thought that others would not be able to find the old man, or it would take some time, but when he saw the cinnabar woman and the Buddha bead man all appearing here, he gave up.
In the chaotic Age of Discovery, the most indispensable thing was intelligence dealers and various pirates.
Recruiting a group of bold and sinister sailors at a high price in the tavern, Tang Zheng hurried back to the ship.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Tang Zheng put the model ship he bought from the old man into the sea water. In less than a minute, it faced the sea breeze and turned into a tall sea ship with nearly thirty gun ports on both sides.
Arranged, full of killing intent.
Jiang Xiuming volunteered to be the captain. After preparing the supplies, he couldn't wait to shout.
"Weigh anchor, Yang Fan, set sail!"
All four women were on Tang Zheng's boat.
Ying Shangwu served as the helmsman, Tao Ran took the compass and sextant and learned to identify the direction. Dong Zixuan liked to shoot cannons and stayed in the cannon cabin all the time.
Fang Zhiwen looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, then went to find Tang Zheng who was looking at the charts in the captain's cabin.
"Have you completed the task I taught you?" Tang Zheng knew that Bai Fumei had come in without even raising his head.
"I learned to steer, but I was snatched away by Ying Shangwu." Fang Zhiwen had a good idea and found a suitable excuse, "What are you doing? Do you need my help?"
Bai Fumei poured a glass of water and brought it to Tang Zheng.
"I'm not thirsty." Tang Zheng glanced at the chart and formulated a strategy, "Go and make a semaphore and tell Jiang Xiuming that we need to keep some distance apart, otherwise no one will take the bait."
"Oh!" Fang Zhiwen agreed, but she hesitated and didn't want to go. She hugged Tang Zheng from behind and pressed her breasts hard against him. (To be continued...)
