The men hurriedly searched around, and finally found the two men guarding the warehouse outside the house, but they smelled a strong smell of alcohol on their bodies.
Seeing that there were several wine bottles next to them, I knew that these two idiots were probably being tricked by others.
"Third Master, do you want us brothers to chase this person back now?" His subordinates cautiously suggested as they saw Third Master's expression suddenly turning cold.
After all, they all know that Mr. Ming is cruel and very stingy.
He suffered a loss today, and it might happen to his subordinates tomorrow.
Therefore, they can only make those who deserve to pay the price pay the price.
Mr. Ming squinted his eyes, his face that was already mean became even more sinister now.
It's too late to chase him now, not to mention that this kind of thing should be done in secret.
If he was really brought to light, he would not be able to stand upright in terms of emotion or reason.
And if the host family knew about it, they would not blame themselves for leaving these things behind, they would only feel that they were incompetent...??.
"I didn't expect that while I was hunting geese all day long, my eye would be pecked by a house bird. Do you remember what those people looked like and what signs they had on their boats?"
What does it look like?
Everyone was confused.
Because of the epidemic, the father and daughter used masks to cover their faces when they came to buy supplies. They could only see a pair of eyes, and they couldn't even see their figures clearly because they covered themselves from head to toe.
Wrapped up.
As for the boat
The men were sweating. Then they remembered that when they went to the dock to transport goods, the ship's manpower was sufficient, so the owner of the goods transported it to the ship himself.
They even got a reward for free. Now that I think about it, could it be that they have been plotted against from that time on?
When Mr. Ming saw the stupid look of his men, he was so angry that he kicked them several times.
"That's great! You idiots were fooled and you didn't know it. They actually knew our rules for a long time. They just wanted to take advantage of the epidemic to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers!"
But he forgot that although Lin Mengya's price was slightly lower, he definitely did not suffer a loss.
He was so angry simply because he had taken it down and lost 30% of what could have gone into his pocket.
He has always been like this over the years. Even if others know about his methods, they dare not speak out.
Nowadays, it's just someone using some means to protect their own interests, and he can't stand it.
Can go forward
, there will only be more, not less, such things.
The ship Lin Mengya used to buy supplies was the grain ship that came with them, but the grain on it was moved to the big ship. Now looking at the supplies inside, she nodded with satisfaction.
"With these supplies, if we can leave some manpower on the Iron Ore Island, these supplies can not only be left to support their lives, but can also be used as a thank you gift to the Iron Ore Island."
Uncle Huo's expression was not very relaxed. He was always looking at Lin Mengya worriedly, but he hesitated to speak.
Lin Mengya couldn't tell that Uncle Huo had something to say, and she couldn't stand other people's hesitation, so she took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Huo, just say it if you have anything to say. There are no outsiders anyway."
Uncle Huo sighed and looked at Lin Mengya with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
"Master, I know you are kind-hearted, but our trip to the upper realm is inherently dangerous. This group of people met us by chance. If you were kind enough to send them to a safe place, why bother to work so hard?
"
He is not selfish, nor does he care about money. The main reason is that he feels that the head of his family is already tired, and he did not expect to have to worry about these irrelevant people.
She is such a small person (please take the initiative to assume the perspective of the old father), and the burden on her shoulders is so heavy. She really can't bear to see her working hard for these things.
As a result, Lin Mengya smiled and said to him, "Uncle Huo, what do you think we are doing in Shangjing this time?"
Uncle Huo thought for a while and said sternly, "Of course it's to make them give up their ambitions and stop trying to take advantage of us."
Lin Mengya sighed and shook her head, "It's not just that, we want to turn this place upside down."
"You should have noticed after all these years that they are definitely not the kind of people who can reason. In this case, we must unite all the forces that can be united in order to be qualified to become those people's opponents."
What happened to the slave?
Those are just shackles imposed on them, not that they are born like this and should be inferior to others.
Life should not be divided into high and low.
Especially people like Wu Yun and the others, who among them would want to leave their homeland and risk death across the ocean to come here as slaves?
Uncle Huo is a smart man, so he can understand everything clearly.
"I understand what you said, but, but this
You can also leave things to others."
After all, Uncle Huo was still worried that her body wouldn't be able to bear it.
Lin Mengya knew Uncle Huo's kindness. She blinked at him and said, "Uncle Huo, do you think I am the kind of person who will work hard for others?"
Uncle Huo thought about it carefully and shook his head, "If you want to put it that way, it really isn't true."
"So! I am training people in this field now, and it seems that she should do a pretty good job."
Lin Mengya looked at another slowly approaching ship.
Yan Jiahua stood on the bow of the ship. The light was dim now. In order to communicate, he held two hurricane lanterns on both sides and gestured in the air to speak secretly.
The message given by Yan Jiahua was that everything was normal and she asked to get closer. She was given a reply and asked her to just get closer as planned.
As soon as the two boats met, Yan Jiahua couldn't wait to jump aboard, just in time to see the head of the Gong family waiting for her with a smile.
It was the first time for the little girl to carry out such a big task, and she was somewhat excited. Especially her eagerness to be praised by her parents was clearly written on her face.
Lin Mengya did not disappoint her either. She gave her a heartfelt compliment when they first met.
"I really misjudged you, Jiahua, you really gave me a big surprise!"
Yan Jiahua had always maintained a serious face, but suddenly a red cloud appeared on his face.
She stood a little helplessly in front of her idol. If there was a little tail behind her, it would be spinning in circles now.
"Master, this is what I should do! Everyone has been rescued. Do you want to go and see for yourself?"
"Don't worry yet." I definitely need to see it, but not now.
Moreover, Lin Mengya and the others do not intend to reveal their true identities at the moment, so they just want to use the same excuse as before, saying that they are merchants who are here to do business.
"By the way, are you still going to follow that slave ship?" Lin Mengya asked.
Yan Jiahua finally calmed down, especially when it came to business matters, she didn't dare to be vague at all.
"Yes. The information we got is that the slave ship will probably leave tomorrow morning. I guess it won't be long before they dump all the slaves on the ship."
According to Wu Yun and others, as well as the information their people got from going to the slave ship, the number of slaves on the slave ship was about two hundred.
This number seems to be
Not much, but you must know that the prosperity of this island is inseparable from the slave trade.
It's just that I didn't see any slaves working on the island, but there should be many slave traders like Lin Mengya and the others they encountered before.
Otherwise, Mr. Ming would not have dealt with the disease so skillfully.
"Almost starting tonight, people will get sick one after another. So we must be careful. If they find out that we are secretly rescuing people, those on the ship will be in danger."
Lin Mengya reminded Yan Jiahua a few words, and the latter immediately remembered them and did not dare to forget them at all.
Seeing that the little girl was so prepared, she smiled and comforted her.
"Okay, you have done well enough. Just follow the plan we made before. Don't be too nervous. Even if something unexpected happens during the process, your family will be there to take care of you."
This sentence touched the little girl's nerves, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
A pair of big, watery eyes looked at Lin Mengya with tears in her eyes, making her a little at a loss.
"Did I say something to make you sad?"
She was good at coaxing children, but she had little experience coaxing such a grown-up girl.
The girls in her courtyard are very powerful, even her little fool Bai Zhi has now become the sole aunt in charge.
I heard that her courtyard is now well managed at home.
You must know that as the head of the Gong family, the courtyard she lives in is actually larger than the mansion of an ordinary aristocratic family, and her courtyard also includes her internal and external warehouses, hundreds of servants, etc.
Being able to settle all these things is enough to show that her little angelica has fully evolved.
If there weren't many things going on at home this time and Bai Zhi couldn't leave, she would have followed him no matter what.
Thinking of the girls at home, she was a little dazed, but she quickly regained her focus.
Yan Jiahua felt very embarrassed. She turned her head and wiped her face hard twice with her sleeves. Then she turned around and said in a hoarse voice, "No, no, it's just that since I was this old, no one has ever said it's okay."
Cover it for me."
Her eyes dimmed a little when she said this.
She has not been so strong since she was born.
But when she realized that she had nothing, and that her mother was not only completely unable to rely on her, but she even needed to provide advice and shelter from the wind and rain for her mother, she knew that she was a person with no way out.
