Chapter 1719: Heaven’s Jealousy of Talents 81
Two large trucks and an off-road truck arrived. After stopping on the beach, the soldiers on the truck jumped down like dumplings.
The plump body of the second-rate man got off the somewhat unflattering military off-road vehicle and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come here all, sir, I want to ask questions!"
The faces of the villagers suddenly became solemn, their smiles stopped, and they moved closer one by one. And Park's parents did their part to cut through the crowd and walked to the front.
Even if there is danger, it is because of their son, and they must take responsibility.
After seeing clearly, they actually came with troops. Everyone turned and looked at Jiang Debin. There is no government or military district in the first district. It is the closest to the second district. If soldiers are mobilized overnight, these soldiers are likely to be from the second district, and the military uniforms on their bodies confirm this.
Jiang Debin looked a little ugly: "I'll take care of it."
"Don't tell us your identity yet." Xining became interested: "Don't you want to see what your father's soldiers look like?"
Jiang Debin took a deep breath: "I hope they won't go too far."
Miss Ying and Fourth Young Master Zhe from District 10 were all watching. If they knew that the soldiers from District 2 had gone to the first district to burn, kill and loot, then this friend might not be able to do it.
"I'll fight if it's too much. I haven't fought in a real fight for a long time." Ying Feihu clenched his fists, eager to give it a try.
Instructor Ying, you are a teacher in school, but you like to fight. Is this okay?
"I want to try it too." Hu Liangming's eyes lit up. After studying martial arts for so many years, he could only get beaten in the academy. I don’t know how much of a scumbag he is outside. Anyway, with Jiang Debin here and a master like Ying Feihu, I won't be afraid of suffering a loss even if I can't defeat him.
"Then go take a look." Xining patted the sand on his body and walked over. Don’t forget to bring the half-drunk coconut with you. The coconut juice should be drunk while it’s fresh.
Two men who looked like officials got out of the off-road vehicle. Judging from the epaulettes, one was a lieutenant and the other was a second lieutenant.
The grassroots are different from technical officers, they actually have soldiers in their hands. A lieutenant is equivalent to a platoon leader and can lead about 30 soldiers. This depends on the different personnel arrangements in each district. There were about twenty people in the truck this time, which was equivalent to bringing all the soldiers he had.
Needless to say, he was moved by the pearl.
"It's them!" With the professional army as his backing, Er Laizi felt confident and pointed at Xi Ning and the others.
The lieutenant looked around quickly. Some were tall and some were short, but all had tight muscles and plenty of energy. They were all practicing martial arts. It’s just that this image is a bit...
Even the most permeable big guy is now shirtless, showing his black hair, and his shoulders are covered with some unknown liquid. Is it a new sunscreen lotion?
For a moment, I was really unsure about the origins of these martial artists. I only knew that they were guests from this village.
"Hululu~" Xining sucked in the coconut water, almost to the end, and the reed tube made the sound of air flowing and hitting.
The lieutenant glanced at the second lieutenant. The second lieutenant immediately understood and shouted loudly: "You have none of your business here, go aside."
"It's weird!" Xining said first: "Where we are is our business, why do we have to go aside?"
As long as the boss speaks, he will know what to say next and what tone to use. The boss obviously has a lot of gunpowder!
So Hu Liangming put on the posture of a middle-aged young man who feared nothing and no one: "We're just going to stay here, what's going on?" "You're looking for death! Do you want to be shot?" The second lieutenant immediately got angry and put his hand on his face in a bluffing manner. On the holster on the waist. In this world, others are scared to avoid soldiers when they see them. There are still some who are not afraid of death if they don't believe it.
"I advise you not to draw a gun." After Zhe Zhiwei finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Debin.
This idiot is used to being arrogant, but today he met a hard core... After Jiang Debin sighed, he reminded almost earnestly: "Using a gun when the other party does not carry a gun is murder. Counterattack is considered self-defense, but it can be done on the spot. Put to death, or be shot by a military court.”
The second lieutenant was stunned. Although his hand was still on the holster, his eyes looked at the lieutenant in a panic.
It was really boring, so Xining simply said directly: "The purpose of your visit is pearls, right? Let me tell you, there are indeed no pearls here. We have gone into the sea several times, not to mention pearls, not even pearl powder."
The villager who knew the common language then said: "Yes, I have told you before that the pearl was brought back by someone before. This person has been dead for a long time, and no one knows where he got it."
The other villagers nodded immediately, not sure if they understood, but it was always right to nod first.
"They asked you to go into the sea?" Er Laizi sneered: "In this case, we also have to go into the sea. If there are pearls, we will know after looking for them."
Two sets of diving equipment were thrown in front of me. This time I came prepared!
Zhe Zhiwei added another sentence at the right time: "It's all coral down there, who gets it if it's stepped on?"
"That's right!" Hu Liangming shouted: "Today this one will come, and tomorrow the other will come and trample the coral to pieces, scare the fish away, and make it difficult for them to survive?"
In this world, corals are not valuable. Except for red corals used as ornaments, other corals are just like stones. Pearls are valuable. But where there are corals, if the corals are destroyed, the natural balance will be disrupted.
Xining said in a very affirmative tone: "There are indeed no pearls here. We can't make a misjudgment just because of what one or two people think. If there are pearls here, why didn't anyone know about it before? If there were pearls, wouldn't they pick them? Every year If you sell one or two, life will be much better here.”
According to ordinary people's logic, this makes sense.
The lieutenant glared at the second lieutenant fiercely. When the second lieutenant saw the second lieutenant, he immediately grabbed the collar of the second lieutenant's clothes with his hand, blowing his beard and staring: "Didn't you promise that there are pearls here? Where are the pearls? I can't see the pearls today. They came out this time." You get the fuel expenses and military supplies!”
This is a win-win situation. If you have pearls, take them; if you don’t have pearls, take a break from the second-rate son. You must know that soldiers cannot be easily mobilized.
The second laizi made a sad face and lost his air of arrogance: "Master, it's easy to say, it's easy to say. They did sell pearls, three of them, they were all very big..."
"More than ten years ago!" Xining interrupted abruptly: "I have done much more detailed research on pearls than you. Why didn't you think of coming here to check for pearls more than ten years ago, but now you think of it?"
"Shut up!" The second lieutenant turned to the ensign and smiled apologetically: "After they sold this pearl, it has been hidden in the safe by the jeweler. They just took it out, made it into jewelry, and gave it to District 10 Zhe Ruicheng’s favorite concubine”
Xining and the others all turned to look at Zhe Zhiwei... The whole world is so small.
Zhe Zhiwei's face suddenly turned red and turned blue. This pearl was definitely not given to his mother. Although his mother was a concubine, she was definitely not the favored one.
