She looked at Mo Qingyan with some embarrassment and forced out a smile that was even more ugly than crying.
"That... child... Tong Yan Wuji, I don't think you, Master Mu, either..."
Before she finished speaking, Mo Qingyan reached out to stop her.
Smiling calmly: "Jiang Daxia, I think he is in his teens or 20s, right?"
"At that time, we had already traveled around the world with swords, and we were still children? Can't you make sense?"
After speaking and sighing, Mo Qingyan smiled: "To put it bluntly, today, I am the only one who met me."
"If he were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have been poisoned by you and others, right?"
"So there is no need for Master Jiang to say these words. Since he wants to die, I will just send him away. It won't be a bother."
Then he stopped dwelling on this topic and looked at Jiang Yingxue with some regret.
"On the other hand, Daxia Jiang, you are also a famous hero in the world. Why do you have to be someone else's lackey?"
"To be pointed at and scolded by a loser is really not the behavior of people of my generation."
"Uh, I..." Jiang Yingxue was speechless for a moment.
After stammering for a long time, he reluctantly gave his hand to Mo Qingyan: "There is no way, I have to live and support my family."
"It's not easy to get involved in the world right now. I can't compare to you. You are protected by Master Nangong and Master Lu."
"Of course you don't have to worry about these things, but I don't have as good a family background as you."
After saying that, he sighed deeply: "Making money... don't shiver!"
Then he bowed to Mo Qingyan again: "Master Mu, please show your respect!"
"After I go back, I will definitely report this matter to my master and ask him to educate him strictly..."
However, before he could finish his words, a shout suddenly came from the sea outside the ship.
"Passenger ship ahead, I am the Coast Guard. Stop the ship immediately for inspection!"
Everyone turned around and saw two warships from the Nanhai National Coast Guard, one on the left and one on the right, approaching the passenger ship.
On the deck, stood a government officer wearing a white and gray Coast Guard uniform, using a long loudspeaker to shout loudly at the passenger ship.
Nan Yanxi knows that whether it is Daxia, Nanhai, or Dayan.
Any country with a relatively large number of coasts will have this so-called coast patrol department.
This group of people are not soldiers, but more like government officials like police officers.
Mainly responsible for maritime patrols, catching pirates, destroying pirates, and combating smuggling.
It is an organization that protects maritime trade routes, manages maritime fishermen and legal production.
Usually at sea, he is also responsible for temporarily inspecting passing passenger and merchant ships to see if there are any violations of laws and regulations.
At this moment, Zhang Houde burst out laughing when he saw a warship from the Coast Guard approaching.
"Haha... You are in such a miserable situation, Master, my reinforcements are here!"
"The supervisor of the Kyoto Coast Patrol Department is a close friend of my father. You guys are waiting to be sent to prison... Hahaha..."
With that said, he turned around and ran to the deck of the passenger ship, jumping up and down and waving to the big ship of the Coast Guard.
He was still shouting: "Here comes someone...killing people...help..."
On the patrol boat opposite, Liu Damin, the head of Dudu, was building a pavilion and looking towards the passenger ship ahead.
Suddenly, he saw a man running out of the cabin, covered in blood, thinking about waving to himself.
Liu Damin was suddenly startled, turned to the deputy on the side and said: "Let this passenger ship stop."
"Get closer and order the first officer to block the stern!"
"Yes!" A sailor agreed, turned around and left with the order.
Two coast guard ships docked at the passenger ship, one behind the other.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of Coast Guard officers wearing gray and white leather armor filed in, carrying recurve daggers.
Behind him, Dutou Liu Damin and his deputy boarded the deck of the passenger ship aggressively: "Who is the boss of the ship? The boss of the ship!"
"Here it is, sir!"
Hearing Liu Damin's cry, the captain of the ship, who had been frightened by the fight just now, hurriedly ran over from his hiding place.
"Sir...my lord...I am..."
Liu Damin looked up and down and said disdainfully: "Oh...are you the boss of the ship?"
"Who was calling for help just now? Where is the person?"
Before he finished speaking, a person stumbled out from the upper deck: "I, I, I...I shouted for help!"
Liu Daming took a look and couldn't help but be startled: "You...are...the son of Zhang Fucai's family, right?"
"Hey...it's me, Uncle Liu...I'm Houde..."
When Zhang Houde saw it was Liu Damin, he immediately felt as if he was seeing a relative.
He knelt down on the ground with a plop and started wailing loudly.
In this way, Liu Damin was shocked: "Emma...is she really kind?"
"How did you become like this?"
It was okay not to ask, but when asked, Zhang Houde cried even harder.
"Uncle Liu...my dear...you are here...it's amazing, there are pirates on this ship!"
"What!"
With one sentence, all the officers and soldiers of the Coast Guard instantly became nervous.
Miso, miso, all the daggers were unsheathed, and they looked around cautiously.
"Pirates? Where are they?" Liu Damin frowned and asked quickly.
Zhang Houde pointed to the second floor of the passenger ship in the distance.
"They were up there. They robbed me of my belongings. They killed several of my guards and they wanted to kill me."
After saying that, he pointed to his bleeding nose and half of his missing front teeth: "Look at what you gave me!"
"Oh? It's so bold to actually do this!"
When Liu Damin heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his expression became righteous for a moment.
In fact, he knew this Zhang Houde and was quite familiar with him.
This group of people belongs to the Coast Patrol Department of Kyoto, Beijiao County, and Pinghai County.
Zhang Houde's father, Zhang Facai, traveled on the maritime trade route all year round.
I am very flattering to the Coast Patrol Department, a department that specializes in maritime law enforcement.
Especially their Pinghai County Coast Patrol Department.
Because Zhang Facai's business firm is in this county.
Moreover, Pinghai County is the northernmost county in Kyoto by the sea. Generally, those traveling on the Daxia trade route will start from here.
Therefore, if you have nothing to do with making a fortune, you can go to the Pinghai County Coast Guard Department, euphemistically calling it a reward for the army, but it is actually a bribe.
All kinds of rare gadgets are given priority to the Chief Officer of the Coast Patrol Department.
And for low-level officers like myself, the benefits are indispensable.
Whether it's various gifts for the New Year or festivals, or money for tea on weekdays, they have everything you need, and they are never left behind.
Therefore, Liu Damin naturally knew Zhang Houde, the son of the Zhang family.
Although he had already known something about Zhang Houde's dandy nature.
But if you don’t look at the monks and look at the Buddha, and don’t look at the Buddha and look at the money, you have to take care of it no matter what.
Anyway, I am an official, so why don’t I have the final say on this sea?
Seeing this, Liu Damin turned his head and looked at the captain of the ship.
Then he ordered the soldiers: "First put the thief's boss in prison, and the others will follow me!"
"yes!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison, but their hearts were filled with joy.
The opportunity to make a fortune has come again.
In the past, the Coast Guard had plundered the ship's finances in the name of searching for pirates.
It is not uncommon to extort a large sum of money from the ship boss.
They did this kind of thing frequently. When they got the benefits, some of them were given to their superiors, and the rest was divided among everyone.
As for corruption and perverting the law... they have long forgotten about it.
After all, it’s about making money… and not getting chills!
