Daming pirates

There are several reasons why Yu Xiaotian predicts that this person does not look like a spy. One is that this person has fair skin and does not look like someone who lives at sea all year round. He rarely gets sunlight, which is not in line with the characteristics of a pirate.

, the second one is if he is a spy, as a spy the most basic

The key factor is that he must find ways to make himself inconspicuous. Under normal circumstances, spies try to dress themselves up as the most ordinary person possible, so that they are not noticeable when thrown into a crowd. However, this man is dressed like a scholar.

, this is seriously inconsistent with the behavior of spies.

If this place were on land, then dressing up as a scholar might not be eye-catching, but in a den of thieves like Nanyue Island, dressing up like this would be really eye-catching!

Nanyue Island is the home of the Sea Wolf. There is no shortage of people from all religions and professions here, but what is most lacking is scholars like this. However, they are the most lacking characters on the island. Scholars are self-righteous and often look down on pirates like them and treat pirates badly.

He is even more contemptuous and resentful, so under normal circumstances, very few scholars take the initiative to defect or come here to do business, so people dressed like this are extremely conspicuous on Nanyue Island.

If he were a spy, he would definitely not wear such eye-catching clothes to hide his identity. Therefore, although this person behaves strangely, he should not be a spy sent by someone.

So Yu Xiaotian gave up the idea of ​​going to the boat house and instead became interested in the arrested man, so he led Liu Wang and Zhao Si towards them.

Several patrol officers who were pushing and shoving the man suddenly looked up and saw Yu Xiaotian. They belonged to the Xingtang, the security personnel of Nanyue Island, and to some extent they interacted with the police in later generations.

The situation is more similar to that of . In addition, there is another layer of pickets or military police, who usually maintain law and order on the island. Sometimes they are also responsible for hunting down spies of hostile forces and detecting the unruly behavior of the Sea Wolf tribe, so they have great powers.

However, these people are also carefully selected and are among the most loyal people among the sea wolves. They usually have more contact with Yu Xiaotian and other senior officials, so they all know Yu Xiaotian. When they see Yu Xiaotian suddenly suddenly

When he appeared in front of them and walked towards them, these people immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "See you under the banner!"

Yu Xiaotian raised his right hand, put his five fingers together on the eyebrows on the side of his face, and performed a military salute as a return salute to them. Now this military salute has gradually begun to be implemented among the Sea Wolves, especially when subordinates meet their superiors.

In military affairs, people usually kneel on one knee to salute, but higher-level leaders cannot ignore the salutes of their subordinates. Starting from Yu Xiaotian, they gradually implemented this method of returning military salutes as a form of salute to their subordinates.

kind of respect.

"Get up and talk! Who is this person? Why did you arrest him?" After Yu Xiaotian finished the ceremony, he put down his hands and asked the patrols to stand up. Then he pointed at the tied man and asked them.

"Report to the boss! This person is not a good bird! The boys have been watching him for several days. It has not been long since he came to the island. On the surface, he seems to be the accountant hired by the Lin family firm, but this guy

Guys we find these days are very dishonest!

This guy had nothing to do, so he slipped out of the shopping mall area and wandered around the island. From time to time, he asked people on the island to inquire about our affairs. The afternoon before yesterday, he even went all the way to the restricted area on the east side of the island, but was blocked by a sentry post to no avail.

After returning, he has been sneaking to Dazhai from time to time in the past few days, looking around, and even trying to sneak into the workshop area to get news!

The boys noticed that this guy was acting strangely, so they took notice. Today, the guy slipped over again, so the boys felt that this guy must be a spy sent by Chu Cai, so they arrested him and prepared to send him to the prison.

Go to the hall!

This guy is very stubborn and refuses to admit that he is a spy no matter what. After he has a taste of the torture hall's methods, this guy should tell the truth!"

Yu Xiaotian glanced at the tied-up man who was in a state of distress. The man was also looking at him at the moment. His eyes seemed to be full of curiosity. He struggled to stand up and straightened his waist. For Xiaotian

He said: "Dare I ask, are you Yu Xiaotian, the head of the family?"

As soon as this guy said this, the patrolman next to him immediately yelled and cursed: "How dare you! You are looking for death. You dare to call our boss by his name! Why don't you kneel down! You will look good in a while!"

The scholar's face changed slightly, but I still refused to kneel down, but sneered and said: "I am a scholar. Although I have not yet won the imperial examination, I am still a scholar at least! The Ming Dynasty law stipulates that we can

If you don’t kneel when you see an official, even though you are the leader of your sea wolf family, you are not an official, so why should I kneel down?

Although I have never met Master Yu, I feel that Master Yu is not an unreasonable person and will not blame me for my rudeness!"

As soon as these words came out, the noses of several patrolmen, including Liu Wang and Zhao Si, became angry. They went up to beat him and had to break his legs.

But after Yu Xiaotian heard this, he became even more interested in this guy. At the same time, he became more sure that this guy was not just a spy, so he raised his hand and shouted: "Stand back, everyone! Okay! I

It's Yu Xiaotian. I dare to ask, sir, why do you come to my place and do so many strange things? I hope sir can give you a reasonable explanation!"

Seeing that Yu Xiaotian did not blame him for his rudeness, the scholar showed a look of admiration on his face, so he said: "I'm Lin Yiyang! I've met Mr. Yu! Please forgive me for the inconvenience at the moment and I can't help you.

A gift from the master!

I am originally from Xinghua Prefecture, and I was lucky enough to be a scholar in my early years. However, due to the pressure of life, I am a distant relative of the Lin family firm, so I came here to help the firm manage its accounts!

Mr. Yu just said that this is your place, but I really don’t agree with him. The world is as big as the king’s land, and the shores of the land are not the king’s ministers! This Nanyue Island is originally a territory of the Ming Dynasty, and although Mr. Yu is a pirate,

After all, I am still a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so why can’t I come here?”

Lin Yiyang's words seemed to be deliberately provoking Yu Xiaotian. After he finished speaking, he raised his chin slightly, quite intent on seeing how you would answer.

Yu Xiaotian once again stopped his subordinates who were about to teach this guy a lesson. After listening to Lin Yiyang's words, he became more and more curious about Lin Yiyang. Now he doesn't care much about whether this guy is a spy or not. Today he

He was in a very depressed mood and wanted to find something to relieve himself, but it would be nice to meet such an interesting guy, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! That makes sense! Haha! The most powerful thing in the world is the king's land!"

Is it the royal minister who is on the shore of the land? This Nanyue Island is indeed a territory of the Ming Dynasty, of course you can come!

But Mr. Lin, let me ask you, is the world as big as the land of kings, and is it a bit too narrow? In the past, it was fine, but now Mr. Lin must also know that although the world is big, not all of it is the land of kings.

! Looking overseas, there are so many places that we have never been to. Is it possible that in your eyes, they are all just a piece of land?

Furthermore, Mr. Lin just said that you are a scholar, so in terms of Ming Dynasty, you should be a high-ranking person! If you are good at learning, you will become an official. It stands to reason that Mr. Lin should continue to study hard and then pass the examination for talents, but no matter

My status as a businessman on the island is low in the Ming Dynasty, but Mr. Lin is willing to degenerate and wants to come here to be a bookkeeper and mingle with us. Don't you think it is insulting to be polite?

?”

Yu Xiaotian was not someone to be trifled with. He directly picked out Lin Yiyang's faults from his words and counterattacked Lin Yiyang unceremoniously.

Yu Xiaotian's words were not good words. They hit Lin Yiyang's sore spot immediately. Under normal circumstances, scholars despised merchants and bandits and would never associate with them unless there were special reasons. However, Lin Yiyang condescended to come here to help the Lin family.

It is contrary to common sense for a shopkeeper to do this. If word spreads, he will be ridiculed. Even if the government finds out about his coming here, his reputation will be revoked.

Lin Yiyang was so choked by Yu Xiaotian that his face turned pale. He wanted to refute Yu Xiaotian, but after opening his mouth, he couldn't find the right way to refute Yu Xiaotian's words. After a while, his face started to turn red.

Yu Xiaotian was very proud of making this guy uncomfortable, and immediately laughed and said: "What? Does Mr. Lin have nothing to say?"

Lin Yiyang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect Mr. Yu to be so sharp-tongued. Lin really admires me!"

"I don't believe it. Yu is just telling the truth! If Yu is not wrong and Mr. Lin is not lying, he must be forced to come here because of unspeakable difficulties! I don't know if Yu is wrong.

?" Yu Xiaotian saw that Lin Yiyang was squeezed enough, and his mood improved. He didn't want to continue pushing against him, so he took the initiative to say.

Lin Yiyang nodded and said: "Master Yu is really smart, thank you very much Lin!"

Yu Xiaotian was fine at the moment, waving his hands and saying: "Untie him, let me take this person back! You guys have done a good job, go back to the execution hall and report it, you will not be less rewarded!"

Also, go to the Lin family store and verify according to Mr. Lin’s words, and don’t be too rude to the Lin family!”

When several patrols heard Yu Xiaotian's instructions, they were a little hesitant. One of the patrol leaders said: "This person's identity is unknown. The master is letting him go like this. The younger ones are afraid that this person will be harmful to the master!"

Yu Xiaotian looked at Lin Yiyang, then looked down at himself, suddenly burst into laughter, and asked the patrol leader with a smile: "Do you think you are so contemptuous of me? Am I so unworthy in your eyes?

Can't you even deal with a powerless scholar like him?"

When the patrolman heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down on one knee and said, "Please forgive me, the master. I have no intention of doing so! I am just worried about the safety of the master!"

"Forgive you! Get up! Just leave him to me without any worries! Just report back to me as soon as possible after checking!" Yu Xiaotian waved his hand.

Several patrols did not dare to disobey and quickly went up to untie Lin Yiyang's rope. However, they still had strong opinions on Lin Yiyang. They had to pull hard a few times when untying him, which made Lin Yiyang suffer some more before he was untied. But for his subordinates to do this

Yu Xiaotian pretended not to notice any of the little tricks, because Lin Yiyang was a bit arrogant, so it would be nice to let him suffer a little.

When Lin Yiyang was arrested just now, he was beaten severely. His face was bruised and bruised. He was also pressed to the ground by Tian Chao. His face was covered with dirt and his forehead was bruised. His clothes were already worn out.

It was relatively clean after being washed, but now it was also covered in dust and dirt, and the clothes were torn in several places, hanging one by one on the body. Now he looked more like a beggar.

But Lin Yiyang didn't take it seriously. After untying him, he moved his arms, raised his hands to collect his loose hair, and dusted off the dust on his body. Then he cupped his fists to Xiaotian and said, "Thank you so much, Master! I don't know, Master Yu."

How do you plan to deal with it?"

Yu Xiaotian looked at Lin Yiyang and found that this guy was quite courageous and had a somewhat calm temperament. He admired this guy very much, so he said: "I want to see how I will deal with you.

What can you say? This is not the place to talk. If Mr. Lin doesn’t mind condescending to talk, Yu does have some good tea for Mr. Lin to drink!"

Lin Yiyang cupped his hands and said, "I can't get what I asked for, so I have no choice but to obey!"
