I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 59 Pirates II

He turned back the same way and walked halfway. He was covered in sweat and sat under a tree to rest. He couldn't help but feel sad.

 It’s not that I hate being fat, after all, every piece of fat on my body is eaten by myself.

Just because history is so similar, after a boring day, there will always be a new boring day.

Jinyi jade food, poetry wine romantic, and wind and snowy moon have nothing to do with him.

 As a result, he is now intermittently complacent, constantly eating and waiting to die.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but in the south, it’s still just “cool”.

 Those in Sanhe have not yet experienced what it means to be cold.

There are still a lot of people on the streets, but the security is much better than before.

Any green-skinned hooligan who can be named has long been sent to labor reform by the palace guards.

Businessmen in Baiyun City discovered for the first time that doing business can be so easy and simple.

There is no need to worry about extortion or thieves. Although there are not many guards in the palace, they are all good at climbing over walls. A handful of little thieves can hardly escape their eyes.

Shopkeeper Liu Duo Liu of Zhongjie Silk Cloth Shop was sitting on a chair with a tea bowl in his hands, watching the waiters at the door greet him and then took another sip of tea.

He has never been so comfortable in his life.

 He thinks this is called business now, because he only needs to concentrate on business matters.

 Because they don’t need to take care of many things, including roads, which are repaired by the prince and the government.

He was imagining that as soon as this road passed through Nanzhou, he would sublet the store and rebuild a shop along the newly built road.

 At that time, the real wealth will come from all directions.

Three big men with big waists and thick arms walked in. The leader was a big man with a ferocious face. If it were in the past, he would definitely have gone over to entertain them in person, for fear that one of his little guys would accidentally offend them.

Whenever such a person appears in Sanhe, he is either a pirate or a salt owl. He will draw a knife to kill someone if he disagrees with him. If he is not careful, his family will be destroyed. He must not be offended.

How can I be like now, holding a tea bowl, and although I greeted him with a smile, I looked at him coldly and didn't even move my buttocks.

He looked towards the street again and glanced at the two young men who suddenly appeared in the shop opposite and wandered around. He felt relieved again.

Although the two men were disguised, he still recognized them at a glance as the guards of the royal palace.

 After all, there are only a few people in the palace, and most of them are walking on the street. If you can't recognize them, you don't have to do your business.

These three people were so "distinctive" and "outstanding" when walking among the crowd, and it was impossible not to attract the attention of the palace guards.

 A mule dragging a cart surrounded by railings appeared on the street, followed by the sound of gongs and drums.

 The garbage truck is coming.

The waiter was greeting the customers, so he, the shopkeeper, could only empty the barrels of garbage into the truck.

 Now, the only trouble is this.

Hong Kong and the palace have already established a rule that you cannot dump garbage at will, otherwise you will be fined a penny.

It’s fine if you don’t pay, then just wait until you go to the labor camp.

This is what the old man Xie Zana said, and the compulsory nature of the king's regulations.

Whether you agree or not, the regulations are there waiting for you. As long as you violate them, someone will always come to you.

After taking out the garbage, he happened to meet the three big men coming out of his shop holding a piece of white coarse cloth. He watched the three big men go away, and then saw two guards from the palace following him.

 “Three suspicious people were found?”

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Didn't you arrest him?"

Bao Kui said, "My subordinates were afraid of disturbing the grass, so they only sent people to follow behind."

The prince asked him and He Jixiang to investigate the person who sent the letter. It has been a month. Even if the prince does not ask, he must come and report.

 “Why is it suspicious?” Lin Yi asked curiously.

Bao Kui said, "These three people are salt lords. According to the investigation by my subordinates, they have been hanging around the palace these days."

“What does hanging around this king mean?”

Lin Yi touched his bald chin, pondered for a while and then said, "Did you discover my king's **** spirit and come to serve me?"

Bao Kui laughed and said nothing.

 If you answer in the affirmative, you are deliberately lying to the prince.

 If you answer in the negative, the prince will probably be unhappy.

The prince is unhappy. He can't do anything to him, but Hong Ying can peel him off.

 “Your Majesty, someone wants to see you!”

Sun Yi trotted in.

"Who?" Lin Yi said with eyes shining, "Did you give me any money?"

Sun Yi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the three of them look like poor people at first glance. The younger one wanted to send them away, but he just kept insisting on seeing the Prince and said there was something important."

 “Is there something important?”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Then let them come in."

Anyway, idle is idle.

After a while, Sun Yi led three strong men into the courtyard.

As soon as the three people appeared, Bao Kui hurriedly said to Lin Yi, "Your Majesty, these three people are the suspects mentioned by my subordinates, but why are they here suddenly?"

 “Cao Min Tian Shiyou, see the prince!”

The bald man at the head knelt down first, and the two people behind him hurriedly followed suit. They were probably inexperienced and too hasty, and their knees made the stone floor tremble.

Lin Yi glanced at the big man, waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk. Why did you come to see me?"

 “The common people are here to report!”

Tian Shiyou still did not stand up, he knelt down and shouted loudly, "Pirate Du Sanhe violated the prince's regulations and robbed property in Baitou Bay!"

 “Is it Du Sanhe again?”

Lin Yi frowned, "Who did they rob?"

 “It belongs to the grassroots!”

Tian Shiyou said angrily, "This is the life savings of ordinary people. I hope the prince will uphold justice for ordinary people!"

"You are a salt dealer," Lin Yi said with a smile. "You know the law and break the law. How can you dare to come to see me?"

He had no choice but to deal with Du Sanhe, so he might as well send this guy named Tian Shiyou away first.

Tian Shiyou said without fear, "I heard that everyone in Sanhe has regulations to follow, and the prince will not allow Sanhe to harbor filth!

To be honest with the prince, the common people were lingering in Baiyun City as early as a week ago, reciting the prince's regulations every day. The common people really don't know which regulations they violated! "

Lin Yi was speechless for a moment.

 We are not afraid of gangsters and salt lords, but we are afraid that they are educated.

Tian Shiyou stretched out his hands and put his head on the ground, "The common people met the prince on the day he came to conquer the domain. It's a pity that the common people are ignorant and miss the prince's kindness. I hope you will forgive me!"

 “I have seen you before?” Lin Yi had no impression at all.

"That day, the common people and their brothers escorted the private salt. When they encountered the prince's chariot, they quietly retreated."

Tian Shiyou continued, "After the prince passed by, he ran out secretly. The prince did nothing wrong, and the common people shed tears of gratitude."

 “It turns out it was you that day.”

Lin Yi suddenly realized.

At that time, they didn't meet a single living person along the way. Finally, they met someone who could talk. They wanted to go up and have a chat. Unexpectedly, these people were as timid as rats and ran away.

"Exactly." Tian Shiyou said, "otherwise the common people would not dare to come to the prince."

"Hey," Lin Yi scratched his head and said, "This king also hates Du Sanhe with all his heart, but he is a tyrant on the sea. He comes and goes without a trace. Even if I want to make the decision for you, there is nothing I can do. .

 Sorry, your trip was in vain. "

 He has no shame in saying that his people have just been killed by others.

 “Your Majesty, there is no need to worry.”

Tian Shiyou took the piece of cloth that he had been holding in his arms under his body, and was about to unfold it when he saw Bao Kui sandwiched between him and Prince He, so he took two steps back.

 Then he stood up, spread it out slowly on a table, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this is the road book. I drew it with my own hands. With it, I can find Du Sanhe's lair!"

Lin Yi stood up and looked at the white cloth with squinted eyes. The messy lines and densely packed fly-sized characters on it made people have a headache.

"so much?"

 “Report to the prince!”

Tian Shiyou said in a high-pitched voice, "This manual is a draft written by our ancestors. The father of Cao Min improved it, and the people of Cao Min polished it.

 In the entire South China Sea, no one can do this better than the grassroots people, not even Du Sanhe! "

“You mean your whole family is a pirate and you are the second generation pirate?”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "A halfway monk like Du Sanhe can't compare to you?"

 “The prince speaks quickly”

Tian Shiyou blushed and said, "The common people admire me!"

　　ps: There must be a lot of shortcomings, please forgive me, bosses.
