Chapter 237 Harbor Surveillance Troubles
“A seemingly ordinary Poseidon statue can have a real and powerful effect, which shows that this copy world is likely to have very high-end powers, such as gods.”
< br>After communicating with the crocodile-man brawny man, Wang Zhifan quickly understood that the world was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface, which meant that he had to take this aspect into consideration in his subsequent actions and not just be careless. And provoked the enemy that cannot be provoked.
At the same time, this magical statue of Poseidon also strengthened his determination to control the ship, because the existence of this good thing ensured that he would not have to worry about ordinary wind and waves when taking this ship to find islands in the Storm Sea, and it was efficient. It can be much taller than other sea ships.
Immediately, he left the cabin of the pirate ship and returned to the captain's cabin on the upper deck. He planned to personally stay here most of the time to prevent the pirates from having any bad intentions, and at the same time, it was also convenient for him to be there at any time. Call on the giant crocodile man and the one-eyed old man to do ideological work.
Especially the one-eyed old man, who said that people become spiritual as they age. Wang Zhifan felt that his verbal offensive might not have much effect on him. He planned to use intimidation to see if he could make this old man who claimed to have searched for the Forbidden Fruit Island. The guy worked for him.
In this way, the relatively smooth sailing time passed day by day.
In the past few days, Wang Zhifan has stayed on the pirate ship to suppress the overall situation. The pirate ship is mainly controlled by the sailors assigned from the Sea Parrot, and no key positions are left to the pirates to prevent them from causing trouble. , allowing the pirate ship to follow the Sea Parrot and head to Puerto Princesa at a constant speed.
At the same time, Wang Zhifan also asked the pirates to put away the Dogfish pirate flag, carefully cleaned the deck, and washed every blood stain with sea water, and then followed the advice of the captain of the Sea Parrot, Some other arrangements were made to allow the pirate ship to disguise itself as other identities.
So three days later, the Dogfish pirate ship and the Sea Parrot passenger ship arrived at their destination in Puerto Princesa.
As soon as their two ships approached here, they found a quite tall white warship parked at the port. Then the white warship quickly launched several small boats into the sea. There were people wearing white clothes riding the small boats. Heading towards each incoming ship.
"Your Excellency, the people in those small boats are the Imperial Navy inspectors. They have great power and are responsible for confirming whether each sea-going ship has the qualifications to enter the port and whether it has committed smuggling crimes. You will be able to tell me later. Don’t offend them.”
At this time, it passed. On the camouflaged Dogfish pirate ship, not only Wang Zhifan himself was standing on the deck looking down at the sea below, but also the captain of the Sea Parrot stood beside him. It was obvious that this man attached great importance to his promise to Wang Zhifan. In order to deal with the navy's supervision, Instead of staying on his own ship, he came over to help in person.
"Okay, I'll trouble you later, Captain, we will act according to the plan."
Wang Zhifan nodded slightly after hearing this. As an outsider, he didn't know much about this aspect. Dao said, intending to rely on the captain of the Sea Parrot to deal with it as much as possible. If anything goes wrong along the way, he will come up with specific solutions.
In this way, a few minutes later, as several steel hooks were hung on the side of the pirate ship, two naval inspectors in white clothes climbed onto the deck of the ship along the rope.
The two people who came up here looked like they were white men in their twenties, very young, but they both had stinky faces, and their nostrils turned up in the air made them say "I am the biggest" On the face.
"Who is the captain of this ship! Come out quickly! Submit the departure point, sailing route, passenger list, and cargo list!"
The two inspectors stepped on After getting on the deck, one of them shouted an order without even looking at the crew members waiting here.
"Inspector! I am the captain! Everything you want is here! Please check!"
The captain of the Sea Parrot, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately greeted him with a smile. As someone who often runs the Princess Harbor route, he is very aware of the supervision rules here, so he has already prepared what these people want. It's done, or it's faked.
After the captain handed the prepared materials to the white inspector who spoke, the man began to read with a straight face, while the other man had already started to read vigorously on the deck of the ship. Walking around, his eyes glanced at all the people and goods, and occasionally flipped through the boxes, but no one dared to be dissatisfied with his actions.
About half a minute later, the inspector in charge of reading materials suddenly frowned, cast a suspicious look at the captain in front of him, and then said:
"Your sea The Parrot is the only registered passenger ship in our port, that is It was the smaller ship next to it, but now you suddenly report that there is an additional ship, and it is still a large ship. Is this reasonable? "
I asked the inspector in front of me, The captain of the Sea Parrot immediately used his prepared words.
"Dear Inspector, I borrowed this large ship from an old friend to expand my business. Recently, the passenger transport business at sea has become more and more popular. You should also know that people like us who have been at sea for half our lives can buy it for a while. If you can't afford another boat, it's very common to find an old friend to rent one. This old friend of mine is..."
He made up a name for this boat in his name. It is difficult to distinguish true and false reasons in a short period of time, because the communication in this world is not very developed. If he casually mentioned the name of a distant friend, these naval supervisors would not be able to fly over immediately to confront someone, and he also knows the rules quite well. In addition to doing In addition to various disguises, he also understood the unspoken rules of this profession very well. During the conversation, he unknowingly thrust a gorgeous coat of arms made of pure gold into the hands of this inspector.
“Your Excellency, Inspector, this is an exotic souvenir sent to me by my old friend, but I don’t know much about these things and cannot see its artistic value. You are well-informed and will definitely be more knowledgeable. Suitable for appreciating its charm..."
Under his skillful operation, the inspector's expression soon changed from The coldness became softer, and he pinched the golden coat of arms with his fingers, quickly put it into his pocket, then pretended to start reviewing the information, and after a while he said:
"Well...there's nothing wrong with the files. I'll actually check them again."
Although he spoke in a businesslike manner and began to walk around on the deck of the ship, inspecting some crew members and looking through some cargo, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he did so perfunctorily and basically acquiesced to this. legality of the ship. " We are very lucky, this inspector is not that old Board, it depends on how the other one is doing.”
“Both of them have to deal with it? Aren’t they together?”
Wang Zhifan was a little confused after hearing this. Once you get rid of the one who read the file just now, you've basically cleared the level.
"They are separated. We can only enter the port if both of them pass. The new governor of Puerto Princesa did this very disgustingly, but don't worry, I will deal with the other one right away."
海The captain of the Parrot immediately assured Wang Zhifan. A few minutes later, when the inspector who had been looking at the documents was still looking around on the deck, another inspector also came out of the cabin below the deck and returned to the deck. This person actually went to the cabin alone to conduct the inspection. The inspection showed that he was a very meticulous and resolute person, which immediately put pressure on the captain of the Sea Parrot who was waiting to deal with him on the deck.
"Your Excellency, Inspector! There can be no problem with my ship. I have been taking the Princess Harbor route for many years. We can be said to be old friends..."< br>
The person quickly stepped forward to get close to this meticulous inspector, and seized the opportunity to bribe him. However, the situation was completely different from the previous one. The attitude of this inspector was quite cold!
"Take the things off your hands, or I will report you for bribery!"
The inspector quickly scolded the captain of the Sea Parrot who was stuffing things for him, without even looking at him. What he prepared to give him was so valuable, and he had a completely formal and selfless style.
And that’s not all, the man then said a few words to the captain of the Sea Parrot that made his heart sink:
“I just checked in your cabin. , found many people with suspicious identities, I now seriously doubt you The origin of this ship is unknown. Stop the ship here and don’t move it until the Port Administration sends someone to take over and conduct a thorough investigation.”
After the inspector finished speaking, he immediately moved toward the side of the ship. He hooked up the rope and left, and he was going back to report without any delay.
"Damn it...How could I meet such a stubborn guy?"
When the captain of the Sea Parrot saw this, he immediately felt that something was serious. He had not fought with the new inspectors of Princess Harbor in the past. Dealing with each other, but when encountering this kind of iron This is the first time that such a person is completely uncompromising. It can be said that this kind of person has no other choice but violence and power to suppress. But the problem is that this is a port managed by the navy. Using violence is the same as committing suicide. There is power, but But on the side of this inspector.
Even this person's tough attitude also caused another bad consequence, that is, another inspector who was originally dealt with by him also had other thoughts at this time. It is impossible for him to Unilaterally covering the ship, so when someone seriously declares that there is a problem with the ship, he will inevitably change his attitude, otherwise he will not be able to take responsibility when the ship really finds out that there is a problem.
Just when the plan to pretend to enter the port was about to collapse, Wang Zhifan, who had been pretending to be an ordinary crew member not far away, finally stopped being silent. He did not fully count on the captain of the Sea Parrot at the beginning of this plan. He can handle everything, but now that things have gone wrong, he will try his best to play his role and forcefully restore the entire collapsed situation.
As for how he could do such a thing in this situation, the process was actually not very complicated.
In the first step, Wang Zhifan quickly caught up with the extremely rigid inspector.
In the second step, he shouted to him in a loud voice:
"Original! We are all innocent and good citizens! I will show you some detailed documents and you will understand!"
In the third step, he took the man's arm without any explanation and took him to the captain's cabin.
In this step, of course this old-fashioned inspector would not listen to him obediently, but Wang Zhifan did not need to care about this. He only needed to exert some control ability to control parts of his body. Unable to move or speak, he could only be forcibly pulled away by him, and outsiders wouldn't be able to tell anything unusual unless they were very close.
The fourth step is to control this old-fashioned guy and quickly pull him into the captain's cabin. This is the most critical core step. However, this step actually takes a very short time. The two of them came out of the captain's cabin in about half a minute. Now, the person walking in front is still the old-fashioned inspector.
I saw the port official who had wanted to detain the ship just a minute ago. Just as he came out of the door of the captain's cabin, his attitude changed drastically and he turned around and said to Wang Zhifan who was following behind:
< br>"Well, I made a mistake in my judgment just now. There is nothing wrong with this ship. You can enter the port."
He finished speaking without waiting for the young man who followed him. As he spoke, he met another inspector who was walking this way, the one who was easily bribed by Captain Sea Parrot. He was currently here to clarify the situation so as to determine how to judge the ship in the end. , and when the old-fashioned inspector saw him, he said to him:
"I have finished checking the documents. There is nothing wrong with the ship. You can go back."
After saying that, he took the lead towards the steel hook rope at the side of the ship. Seeing how quickly his attitude changed, the other inspector looked a little confused, but he was happy and relaxed thinking that the other party was doing this. Anyway, the benefits were already there. Once I got it, I didn't waste time here, and immediately got off the boat and left.
This whole process can be said to be bizarre. The captain of the Sea Parrot who was watching this scene on the deck was very confused. He didn’t know what Wang Zhifan was doing in the captain’s cabin to make that The guy he felt he couldn't deal with was so quick to give them accommodation and let them into the harbor.
Being quite curious, he couldn't help but walk towards Wang Zhifan, who was still standing at the door of the captain's cabin, and wanted to ask him about the specific situation.
However, at this time, Wang Zhifan just shook his head and said nothing, and blocked the door of the captain's room to prevent him from entering.
"Sir, how did you convince that person?"
Even after being rejected, the captain of the Sea Parrot still couldn't suppress his curiosity and continued to ask.
But Wang Zhifan in front of him still did not answer him, and still stood guard at the door of the captain's cabin. It was not until a while later, when Wang Zhifan suddenly walked into the captain's cabin, that his voice finally sounded in the captain's cabin.
"It's finally done. You can try this new identity in the future."
I saw that he was holding an ordinary wooden mask in his hand at the moment, and in the cabinet next to him Containing the ice-hard body of a certain harbor inspector.
