Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Everyone on the Fu ship was shocked. They were so happy that they didn't know whether the visitor was a pirate. You know, in the vast ocean, it would be very dangerous even if they met an official ship.

They are now in such a situation and have no power to resist. If someone with a cruel heart comes, they would be in great trouble.

As soon as Hu Chong finished speaking, Yong Ji at the bow shouted, "You dawdle when I ask you to do something. Hurry up and finish it. It's time to eat."

Yongji despised Hu Chong's pettiness the most. He would think twice before doing anything. Last time, because he helped tow a fishing boat back to the port, the fisherman was poor, so he did not accept the reward, and this guy kept complaining about it all the way.

It's really enough. If it weren't for his good boat driving skills, I would have sent him to dig bird shit long ago.

"Then let's make a deal first. I'll go up and take a look." Hu Chong muttered to himself, but his hands were not slow. He swung the hook at his waist, climbed onto the side of the boat, and went up in two moves.

Two people followed behind him and flipped over together, and the three of them landed on the ground and took a look.

"Oh! Why are so many people still tied up?" He looked a little regretful. He thought that everyone had run away, so they could leave once they cleared out the goods.

Seeing the regret on his face, everyone was afraid that their lives would be in danger. Jin Damang showed a flattering look: "My dear friends, we are merchants from Daxia. Now we are in trouble. If we can get your help, we will definitely give you a generous gift."

They just want to survive now. As long as they can stay alive, they would be willing to give away all the goods.

But at this moment, he didn't dare to say it directly. As for the matter of giving money, if people wanted money, wouldn't it be easier to just kill them all? Keeping them around would only cause trouble.

Originally, seeing that the pirates had fled, Zou Tongyi wanted to untie them, but seeing that they had just escaped from a wolf's den and entered a tiger's den, he untied Jin Dalian and quickly took the rope in his hands and knelt down.

Hu Chong looked around at the crowd. They were all merchants from the South. He had seen some of them before, but he had been sailing on the sea for some time. He had become much darker and had changed a lot. If you were not familiar with him, you would not be able to recognize him as the former leader of a sea gang.

In just a short while, the other two went to the cabin to check and make sure that nothing had slipped through the net.

"Report, all wood and fragrant fruit."

Another person came up soon after and shook his head at Hu Chong, indicating that there was no danger.

"Tsk! What a trouble!" He walked to the rudder, where valuables searched from the people on the ship were placed, including a pile of various gold and jade accessories.

He didn't move, and the two people next to him glanced at him casually and then looked away.

"According to the rules, I will charge you 30% of the goods for rescuing you from the pirates. How about that?" Hu Chong has been trained in this period of time. This method of collecting protection fees by force was also Xie Xian's idea.

She couldn't follow the ship all the time. Of course, everyone had to get something out of the work they did. It was better for her and others to get 30% than to lose their lives.

But what no one expected was that the South China Sea pirates learned their practices tenfold.

Hu Chong saw that everyone had strange looks on their faces, and immediately frowned: "Why, you guys don't want to?"

Everyone was silent. Mr. Zou stood up and said, "Don't be angry, it's just that the South China Sea pirates asked us to charge 30% of the toll..."

It just feels weird, and I can't tell what's wrong.

Ah this! Hu Chong was also speechless.

"Boss! We collected 30% of the protection fee from the monkeys last time. They learn very quickly!" said one of them.

Hu Chong frowned. If the pirates wanted 30%, they would also want 30%. Wouldn't that be the same as the pirates?

There is no advantage at all!

"Boss, how about we ask for more? At least more than the monkeys!"

"Go away!" Hu Chong said impatiently.

Jin Da and his companions looked at each other in bewilderment. Oh, this! So the bandit ancestor is here!

Hu Chong thought for a long time and scratched his head. Forget it, he was just a sergeant, why should he worry about it.

He stared at the jewelry box and picked out an iron plate from it. The expressions of the two people next to him also changed slightly.

No way! I could even run into friendly clients, which would be even more troublesome.

He held the iron plate of the Pigeon Hall in his hand and winked at the person beside him. The person understood and got off the boat quickly.

After a while, Zhanlang approached, Yongji walked over from the wooden board, took the iron plate from his hand, and smiled: "Oh, you are a distinguished guest!"

He held up the iron plate, turned it around and asked, "Whose is this?"

Jin Da's face changed slightly, he didn't dare to say anything. He came out in a hurry this time, and his servant hung the badge he gave him around his waist. When he was searched just now, it was also collected together with the badge as an ornament.

It's over. Could it be that Zhan Lang and Ge Tang have some grudge against each other?

Seeing that no one responded, Yongji became impatient and said, "Hurry up and tell me, I don't have time to waste here."

When Jin Da saw that some people around him were beginning to make moves, he knew that he was going to be sold out, so he might as well get out first!

"It's mine!" he said weakly.

Yongji chuckled and asked, "Where did this thing come from?" He wanted to know clearly, because the Pigeon Hall had no foundation in the South, and under normal circumstances it was difficult for anyone to pay to become a member.

"Oh! So it's a gift!" Yongji understood immediately. He knew his lady's personality very well. She would definitely not want to accept things from others for nothing, so giving Xie Xian the Pigeon Hall iron plate was something she could do.

He knew in his heart that they couldn't charge more tolls this time, so he stuffed the iron plate into Jin Da's arms and said, "Okay, we won't charge you any money. Getang has some friendship with us."

Then he signaled Hu Chong and the others to untie them, "Let Monkey and a few others help them fix the sail ropes, or let them go down to feed the fish."

I can't rob this boat either, oh no! I feel like I lost out on this trip.

He left in depression, and the people on the Fu ship behind him were puzzled. What was going on? Why did the captain of the ship become so easy to talk to after seeing an iron plate, and even asked people to help them repair the ship?

Zhou Tongyi asked in confusion, "Mr. Jin, can you please take out the iron plate for us to see?"

Crowds of people gathered around, they were also very curious, what was Getang and how could he have a relationship with Zhanlang? It seemed that Jinda could be exempted from the toll.

This is a big profit!

Jin Da was excited. When he took out the iron plate from his arms, he was still a little bit unbelievable. He thought this thing was just a token of a small gang at first, but he didn't expect it could save him a lot of money.

This amount of money is much more than the 150 taels I got for the iron plate! This time I really made a profit!

"You said that this Pigeon Hall is an organization for buying and selling information? Isn't it the same as Yanlou?" someone said.

"How can they be the same? Yanlou buys and sells secrets of various families, and also has assassin business. This Pigeon Hall is different. They just use pigeons to connect different places and deliver family letters. It is very convenient for merchants like us."

"Hey, why does it sound so much like the Mi Yu Tower in the capital?" Someone seemed to remember something.

"Come here, let me take a look at this brand. I've bought news from Mi Yu Lou several times."

"Hey, the pattern on the back is exactly the same!" The man pointed at the feather pattern on the back of the sign and shouted. This is the pattern on the plaque in Mi Yu Tower. It is very special and can be remembered at a glance.
