I kidnapped an alien civilization
Chapter 687
Amidst the melodious suona sound and the miserable weeping, the funeral procession walked to the depths of the cemetery.
Captain Yumaz Lara was lost in thought as he watched the lantern disappear into the bushes.
Obviously, the death of the old man's son is likely to involve powerful figures in Guhuai City, so the government will come forward to cover it up.
As for the black-robed man who mysteriously appeared in the inn and sent back his arm, he might be the murderer, or someone who knew the inside story.
A life is lost like this, but the family members can even know the reason. This seemingly absurd thing is very normal on the primitive planet Gay.
This reminded Captain Yumaz Lala of Huang Mingzhu's words, in this cannibalistic world, civilians are tools used by magicians to enjoy themselves.
All of this had nothing to do with Captain Yumaz Lala, he could just sit on the sidelines, but the strange feeling in the vagueness made him realize that this was his opportunity.
The next day, Captain Yumaz Lara hired a homeless man on the street to take over the job of the grave keeper with two big bucks.
Then he brought four team members and a housekeeper surnamed Wang from the Huang family to Guhuai city.
The Huang family has businesses in Guhuai City, and this housekeeper is the person in charge of these businesses.
Captain Yumaz Lala had to admire Huang Mingzhu's mind. Every time she opened up a market in a town and bought a few shops, she would elect a housekeeper from the family to be in charge of the town's business. The salary of the butler is linked to the quality of the business. In this way, the butler will definitely do his best. At the same time, since the butler is only a servant of the Huang family, Huang Mingzhu holds the deed of prostitution, so there is no need to worry about him getting caught.
At the same time, this butler is only in charge of one town, so over the years, he will inevitably establish a huge network of relationships in this town.
On the carriage, Captain Yumaz Lala looked at the rows of shops on both sides of the road, and couldn't help frowning.
Just entering Guhuai City, he clearly felt that Guhuai City was much bigger than Huangtu City, and the pedestrians on both sides of the street were dressed much better. Although most of their clothes were patched, they were much cleaner.
This is not the key point, the key point is that there is not a locust tree on both sides of the road.
"It's so strange that there are no locust trees in Ancient Locust City."
Butler Wang explained with a smile: "Don't say that there are no pagoda trees in the town, even if you don't find a pagoda tree in a radius of ten kilometers."
"The reason why this town is called Ancient Locust Tree is because the magician in the city is called God Ancient Locust Tree."
At this moment, Captain Yumaz Lala understood that this place is not like the small city of Huangtu City, where magicians are in charge.
Just what does the ancient locust tree mean? Can it transform into a big locust tree?
The Huang family has three businesses in Guhuai City, namely Huang's Leather Goods Store, Huang's Pawn Shop and Huang's Restaurant.
The guests drinking in the restaurant are all merchants from south to north, so the Huang Family Restaurant also serves as the information center of the Huang Family. The staff in the restaurant have received special training. In his heart, he sent it back to the Huang family's mansion in Huangtu City by carrier pigeon, and Huang Mingzhu sorted it out.
This kind of wine shop is distributed in more than a dozen nearby cities, forming a huge information network.
There were several times when Huang Mingzhu used the few words of the guests in the restaurant to hoard goods or clear warehouses ahead of her opponents, earning huge profits.
This time Captain Yumaz Lala naturally wanted to use this information network to investigate the cause of the death of the carriage and horse shop guy Mopan.
When the carriage arrived in front of Huang's Restaurant, it was already dark. The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw Steward Wang getting off the carriage, and immediately understood the identities of the few people. He had already received Huang Mingzhu's carrier pigeon.
"Master, you have been tired all the way, and I have already prepared food and drinks to welcome you," said the shopkeeper of the wine shop, surnamed Huang, who came from the outhouse of Huang's family.
"The shopkeeper Lao Huang is here."
The Huang's Restaurant has two floors. There are dozens of wine tables in the hall, mostly small businessmen. There are more than ten private rooms on the second floor, which are usually used to receive distinguished guests.
Under the guidance of Shopkeeper Huang, Captain Yumaz Lala brought two team members, Steward Wang, to the second floor.
As soon as they sat down, the boys brought a table full of dishes and two jugs of dirty wine.
On Gay Star, a kind of grain called millet is used to make wine.
Chestnuts are very small, and due to the lack of filtering equipment, the brewed wine is extremely cloudy, which is called cloudy wine.
The alcohol content is not high, two small bets, Captain Yumaz Lala is just a little tipsy.
Since he has become a real sleepless person and doesn't know hunger, he naturally doesn't need to eat. He just tastes all kinds of dishes and then puts down his chopsticks.
Shopkeeper Wang and the two team members had already pressed their chests against their backs after a day of travelling, and they were naturally feasting on the meal.
Captain Yumaz Lala was analyzing the cause of Mopan's death in his mind, when he suddenly heard a movement in the box next door.
"Brother, do you know that the old man has been ill again recently."
"Sick again? How many servants died this time? Has the pension been arranged?"
"Hey, this time the old man didn't fall ill in the house, he fell ill on the way to Cuiyunxuan and killed a boy passing by."
"Cuiyunxuan? Didn't I tell you not to let the old man leave the old house?"
"Heh, you know the old man's temper and tricks, who can keep him locked up."
"Yes, but this is not the way, why don't we report it to the Magician Club."
"Brother, are you crazy? Once the Magician Club intervenes, you know better than me what awaits the old man, and if you leave the old man, our family will be over. Do you really think you are a business wizard? Isn't it those people? For the sake of the old man, I entrust the business to you."
"Keep going on like this is not a solution. Today is the fifth time the old man has fallen ill, which is twice more than last year, and the condition is obviously more serious. Once the old man's pancakes explode completely, not only our family, but the whole city will suffer." There could be a catastrophe.”
"Brother, how can I not know the seriousness of the problem, but now is not the time. After I finish mining the gold mine outside the city, we will take the gold and go to the western country to seek refuge with the third brother, and report the old man's affairs to the gods. The Artisan Club. This will not only keep our family rich for thousands of years, but also prevent so many people from being affected."
"Well, it seems that this is the only way now. By the way, has the third brother received a letter recently? Has he gained a firm foothold in the Western countries?"
"The day before yesterday, I just received a transnational letter from him through the Four Seas Station. With the support of the people we sent, the third brother has killed two underground gangs in San Francisco, and now completely monopolizes the bootlegging market. He recently He is having a hot fight with the daughter of the mayor of San Francisco, maybe he wants to get help and develop his career."
"Well, the third brother is a character and has vision. This is a good move. After all, bootlegging is not a long-term solution. Only by becoming the top figure in San Francisco can we keep the wealth we sacrificed so many people. How about it? , you will send him another share of gold bars tomorrow, so that he can act quickly and take down the mayor's daughter as soon as possible. I always feel that the old man's illness can't last long."
"Understood, I'll let the housekeeper handle this matter in person tomorrow. Come, have a drink. We two brothers finally got together, we must be drunk!"
"Come on, do it!"
The two brothers in the next box were obviously worried about the old father's condition, but the information revealed in the words caught Captain Yumaz Lala's attention.
A sick old man who killed a boy. Report it to the Magician's Club.
The little guy is most likely the millstone.
And if an old man needs to report his illness to the magician club, and the consequences of the report are likely to bring disaster to their entire family, then this old man is likely to be a magician out of control.
God Ancient Locust Tree is out of control!
This thought scared Captain Yumaz Lala himself. He didn't know what level of magician the god Ancient Locust Tree was, but even if the god Ancient Locust Tree was only a first-level magician, after he lost control, God Ability will be greatly increased.
Captain Yumaz Lara is most likely not the opponent.
Now he regrets not bringing more team members with him. Who would have thought that the death of a young man would involve an out-of-control magician.
However, these are just his guesses, which need to be verified by relevant evidence.
Captain Yumaz Lala pretended nothing had happened, and continued to drink with his team members, Steward Wang.
Butler Wang knew that Captain Yumaz Lala didn't usually have a wedding in the Huang's mansion, but now he clinked glasses with him again and again, thinking that his performance was favored by Captain Yumaz Lala, and he was even more delighted He pursed his lips, and asked shopkeeper Huang to bring two jugs of dirty wine.
While drinking wine with Butler Wang, Captain Yumaz Lara paid attention to the situation opposite. When he heard the sound of the two leaving from the opposite side, he went to the window in the private room and looked downstairs.
The guy who designed the restaurant is well versed in the psychology of the guests, and designed a small window in each private room, through which you can clearly see the situation in the hall, so that the expensive guests have a sense of superiority. Even if the distinguished guests upstairs want to, they can even spit on the dishes of the guests downstairs.
Captain Yumaz Lara waited in front of the window for a while, and saw two men walking down the stairs, one of them was wearing a green satin robe, tall and thin, with a green finger on his finger.
The other was wearing a purple-red robe, was short and very fat, and the satin wrapped around his waist was almost torn when he walked.
The two members of the team were immediately greeted by the door when they saw Captain Yumaz Lara approaching the window.
Shopkeeper Wang was a little puzzled. Could it be that this master is drunk and drunk?
He approached carefully, and lowered his voice: "Master, upstairs is the guest room. All the utensils have been replaced with brand new ones according to Madam's instructions. Why don't you go to rest first?"
"Come here!" Captain Yumaz Lala beckoned.
Shopkeeper Wang hesitated for a while, and seeing that he didn't look drunk, he went to the window and looked down.
"Did you see those two people, do you know them?" Captain Yumaz Lara pointed to the emerald green silk and purple red silk who were about to walk out of the gate.
Although Guhuai City is richer than Huangtu City, only the rich can afford silk and satin clothes.
And the rich man in the city, shopkeeper Wang, who specializes in running relationships, should know him.
Sure enough, shopkeeper Wang recognized them after just one glance, and said with a smile, "They, everyone in Guhuai City knows those two masters."
"The fat one is called Yang Youtian, and the thin one is called Yang Youdi. They also have a younger brother named Yang Youyue. The third brother is the son of the magician god Guhuaishu."
it is as expected.
Captain Yumaz Lala sat back on his seat, thought for a while and asked, "Can you give a detailed introduction to the situation of the third brother and the god Guhuaishu?"
Shopkeeper Wang was shocked, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a "slap".
He didn't care to pick it up, and asked in a low voice: "Why, what you want to investigate this time is actually related to God Gu Huai?"
He only knew that Captain Yumaz Lala came to Guhuai City this time to investigate a matter. As for the matter, Huang Mingzhu, the head of the Huang family, did not tell him, but asked him to cooperate fully.
Unexpectedly, this matter was related to a magician. Shopkeeper Wang retreated in his heart.
He was not disloyal to the Huang family. In fact, he was a vagrant. The Huang family picked him up from the street, taught him to read and write, and made him a manager in charge of three shops. A lot of dividends, relying on these dividends, he even married the little maid who used to serve the old lady as his wife.
It can be said that the Huang family is his savior, and he has sacrificed his life to fight disasters for the Huang family several times.
It's just that the God Ancient Locust Tree is a magician, a magician who can kill thousands of people with a single breath.
Seeing the terrified expression on Shopkeeper Wang's face, Captain Yumaz Lala naturally understood the fear in his heart, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "How can I investigate a magician? I'm just interested in these two people Forget it, look, as brothers, one of them is as fat as a fat pig, and the other is as thin as a twist, isn't it ridiculous."
Shopkeeper Wang breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "Master, you really scared me to death just now." He picked up the wine glass on the ground, wiped it with his clothes, and refilled the wine: "Come on, Master, let's go together."
After drinking dirty wine, shopkeeper Wang broke free from the panic just now. He took two mouthfuls of vegetables and swallowed them, and said with a smile: "Master, you don't know, their third brother is still triplets."
"When they were born, the god Guhuaishu was not a magician, but a small landlord. But he had a younger sister who was as beautiful as a flower. This younger sister married a magician in the city of Gu Na. The head of the Shi family, of course, the head of the family was already very old at the time, and his sister was only married as a concubine."
"However, God Ancient Locust Tree is good at digging into camps and has a sweet mouth. Thanks to this relationship, he became a magician during the coming of the black tower twenty years ago. After becoming a magician, God Ancient Huaishu felt uncomfortable staying in Gua Na, a place full of magical masters, so he came back here. When the master was about to come back, the government changed Liumu City into Ancient Huai City overnight."
