Chapter 609 The Village Chief's Three Fires ([-])
"The pirates are good at navigating ships and are familiar with the sea. Their territory must be close to the sea. There are ship guns on their boats. It can be seen that their power has developed greatly and they are very rich. They may have their own dedicated ports and wharves. All the coastal tribes in the south will check pass?"

"Businessmen don't go inland to the south. Their goods are unloaded as soon as they arrive at the harbor wharf. The inland transportation is the business of other merchants. The chieftain tribes along the coast are the ones they deal with the most," General Mou said. , "We have found all the merchants we can find."

"If I have nothing to do with the court people, the origin of the pirates will be troublesome." Bai Qing looked serious.

"Overseas..." Mou Shenjiang and Cheng Feng said in unison, it can be seen that they both had the same idea.

"In order to find out the origin of the pirates, we have invited so many businessmen to help. No one is stupid. The pirates may come from overseas. They all have a good idea of ​​this guess."

"It's okay, just know in your heart not to say it. If it causes panic in Dong'an Mansion, they will know what will happen. The merchants know better than us to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

"Yes, both the government office and the general think so."

"It's possible that the pirates came from overseas. Has this conjecture been accepted by the court?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard the general talk about it before I set off, but it will definitely be played sooner or later. It would be great if we could give us a little more military expenses."

"Dream." Bai Qing and Cheng Feng said in unison, they were not at all optimistic about whether there was any money in the imperial court's pocket.

"Isn't it just a dream?" Mou Shenjiang patted his stomach and stood up, "Let's go, we all go back to the house to take a nap, wake up in the afternoon to watch a play, since I was busy last year, this is the first time I have time to sit down and watch it comfortably It's a play."

"Hey, let's go, there are still ice trays in the room, it must be cool by now."

Cheng Feng gave Bai Qing a hand, and the two followed Mou Canjiang and turned to the back room to take a nap.

After the soldiers in the courtyard outside put down their bowls one after another, the maids who delivered the food appeared again, quietly cleaned and tidied up the aftermath, and returned to the inn with their wheelbarrows.

Zhao Ling, who monitored everything, naturally listened to the conversations of the three of them. The military did their job well, ruling out the possibility that the pirates came from the people of the dynasty, and they were more likely to come from overseas.

These are all right, but they do not have enough information, so the investigation cannot proceed.

But Zhaolin knew which pier the big ship of Haikou was mooring at now.

Because of the last battle with the merchant ship, the ship's hull of the pirate was damaged. Usually, you can find a wharf to buy fresh water and food, but if you want to repair the ship, in order to protect the secret of the ship's cannon, you must find a collaborating partner.

So this ship is now moored at the wharf of a village called Alianhe Village in the south. It belongs to the Longgu tribe, one of the southern coastal tribes.

Some of the merchants invited by Dong’an Mansion actually knew the dialect of this tribe, but what they didn’t expect was that there were very few people on the pirate ship who could speak the dialect of the Longgu tribe. They belonged to the logistics staff who worked on the ship and were not responsible for going ashore to fight However, as long as these few people do not fall into the hands of the government, the government will not be able to find out the true origin of the pirates.

Zhaolin only knows this step now, which overseas country the pirates are from and still needs to be followed. They will return to their lair sooner or later. Find out the true origin of the pirates.
