Chapter 28 Smugglers

"Huh?" Locke frowned and looked carefully. The faces of the people who were squatting were covered with dark spots of mud and gray. His hair was probably not washed for a few days. He was wearing shabby gray clothes and his unkempt face. He really couldn't tell that he looked like a woman.

Then Gulas smiled flatteringly, "This is a gang of second-trafficking dealers. When I broke the city, I saw these people sneakingly and took them with my brothers. Unexpectedly, it was still a big fish. No, those boxes were all their goods, and there were a lot of good things!" After that, Gulas kicked open the wooden box, revealing glittering jewelry and gold and silver coins.

Lock then realized that there was an unwritten rule for brothers who got a large number of private goods like this, which was to hand over 50% to the battalion, 30% to the squadron leader, and the rest were divided equally by themselves. The reason for this rule was that the soldiers had no channels to get rid of it. Even if they had channels, secretly occupying such a great wealth would cause a crack between the soldiers and the commander, so this rule was found.

However, Locke rarely heard of underground soldiers snatching bulk goods before. Those merchants and wealthy families had the ability had already run away before the arrival of the army. Those who were incompetent would be targeted by the Baron's cavalry squadron. The Baron condoned the soldiers to make money by themselves, but would not condon the soldiers to make money in their own pockets. If there were soldiers snatching the wealth route from the camp, the soldier would definitely not see the sun the next day.

"Yes." Locke praised. Locke had never made such a fortune before.

"Hehe." Gulas didn't speak, just smiled foolishly.

Lock looked at the guy with a beard and sturdy face, and he really couldn't see that his heart was so delicate. He was really not good at being pretty. "You can handle the one you hand in hand, and you can exchange mine for Dele. As for these goods, you hand over half of the caravan to a merchant named Henry in the battalion." Locke was not a trustless person. He planned to hand over the fat merchant, but he didn't dare to give him all the soldiers' seizures. Who knows if the Baron would give him little shoes because of the profits of the caravan. It's definitely safer.

Since Gulas said this was a gang of second-trafficking dealers, there must be a leader. "Who are you leading?" Locke asked.

The people squatting on the ground clearly felt that the person who was asking was the head of these soldiers. Although they didn't speak, they all looked at a thin man among them.

"It's you?" Locke looked at the unpretentious man, looking like a rib. If it weren't for the slightly cunning look, he might have ignored this person. However, seeing his trembling appearance at this moment, he did not have the momentum of a second-hand dealer leader.

"Yes, sir, the villain is called Bick." Although the man with pork ribs was timid, he was still very smart. "The villain is a famous merchant in Francis City. You can let the villain have a way out. The villain can bring you great wealth."

"Haha, a second-hand dealer, smuggler, dares to call himself a businessman." Gulas next to him smiled disdainfully.

Locke was interested in him, not in his talent, but in his wealth. Locke suddenly thought that no such second-hand dealers do business alone, they should be a group of people. This group of people are shopping, so there must be people receiving goods. If they follow his line, they will be surprised.

The man with pork ribs was anxious when he heard Gulas' words. He was particularly afraid that the soldiers thought he had no value to kill him. "The villain can also see things. The villain has been working as a handyman in a jewelry store and a pawn shop. He has trained a pair of golden eyes and can help adults discover their treasures."

"Kebe, right? Please help me see this." Locke remembered the maid's bracelet he took last night, and asked him to see if it was worth it.

When Na Kebi heard this, he immediately wiped his hand on the clothes, took the gold bracelet, observed it repeatedly in the light, and even flicked the bracelet with his fingers, which looked a little professional. However, he quickly showed a hint of disdain, which no one else could see, but Locke, who had been observing him, caught it.

"How?" Locke asked calmly.

"Sir, this...this..." Kebi stammered.

"Speak quickly if you have something to do," Locke urged.

"Sir, this bracelet is not a top-notch in my opinion. Although the weight of the bracelet is not much different from that of a real gold bracelet, the bracelet does not have the softness of gold. It should be mixed with copper inside. The weight is not bad. Some silver should be added. As for the gold color, it should be a layer of gold powder on the surface. Whether there are other dopings or not, there is no tools. The villain can't see it at the moment." The ribs man Kerry said, "In short, this bracelet is worth up to five silver coins." At the end, Kebi also estimated the price of the bracelet.

Five silver coins can be converted into one or two silver coins. If Locke had taken a fancy to him in the past, now, let's forget it.

Locke took back the bracelet. It seemed that he was in a bad mood at this time. He thought those women had a big background. But this was just the maid, so it was almost understandable that Locke comforted himself so much.

Gullas is worthy of being a personal talent. Seeing that Locke was in a bad mood at this time, he quickly kicked Na Kebi, "Why don't you take it out if you have any good things and show it to Brother Locke."

When Kebi heard that his group of people might be worth and life in the hands of the officer, he went to the box to pick it up. Finally, he picked out a pair of exquisite earrings and a dark green bracelet. "Sir, this is the best thing for the villain. It is suspected that a noble woman pawned the villain. The earrings of the villain are so big, and there are few jewelry that have been seen more precious than her. There are also this bracelet. If the villain did not admit his mistake, it was made of Yunmo Gem. The Yunmo Gem used to make such a large bracelet. Yunmo Gem was used to make high-end rings in the past."

These earrings are indeed a fine product, and the diamonds on them are very valuable. As for the bracelet, Locke didn't see any tricks. Since he said it was OK, it should be OK. Locke didn't say much and put away the two things.

It doesn't make any sense to stay here anymore. When Locke left, he ordered Golas, "I'm useful to keep that kid's life."

Locke was wandering around the city, but he was still so chaotic everywhere. I was afraid that the situation would be restrained until the baron ordered the stop disturbing the people.

Locke first went to the original team to check out. Hans was taking his brothers to pick things up in a grocery store. Kane was sitting on the roof in a daze. Kane was like this. He usually had no formality and liked to take advantage of it. But Locke knew that he was the kindest person in the team, and he basically did not participate in this kind of robbery. Locke asked him once, and he said that when he saw those Charlotte civilians, he remembered the years when he was a beggar. Everyone accused of his behavior, but his gains would be counted as a share.

At noon, the Baron's Mansion finally came from the city lord's mansion, and the army stopped "search" and stood by in Xicheng District in a small group.

The West City area was the area where the Baron of Kashgar bombarded with his magicians. It was now a barren land, but this also meant that the place was clean and just allowed the soldiers to camp there.

Most of the soldiers didn't sleep all night, and with the fierce battle before, they had just assembled, and they found a place to sleep.

Lock also met an acquaintance from the Baron Kashgar troops here. Sean, also a civilian-born squad leader. He had fought side by side with Locke and had a good relationship.

"Why, you are here too?" Locke greeted him. This is a world of strict hierarchy. Locke's first words meant he was willing to make this friend.

"Yes, Brother Locke, you have been promoted, and I'm happy, brother. I happened to get a good wine last night. Let's go to me tonight, okay, I'll do it." Sean was very happy to see that Locke was still nostalgic. Although the two were not affiliated with the same unit, the position and military rank were higher than that of him, that was justified. There is no harm in making friends with such people.

Those who have joined the army for more than a year understand that the most reliable person on the battlefield is themselves, followed by comrades-in-arms, which shows the importance of a friend.

"No problem." Locke patted Sean on the shoulder and laughed. According to convention, there should be no task from now until tomorrow afternoon. The injury that Locke suffered yesterday would not affect his drinking under the nourishment of the fighting spirit.

After making a frown in the camp, Locke returned to his small yard, carrying a chicken in his hand. Hans sent it to him, worthy of being an old brother.

The maid Rafi in the yard was sweeping the floor, but she was worried at this moment for some reason. Christine sat on the door frame and fiddled with her fingers. It seemed that she was much sicker. Grace should be in the house. It seemed that these women were not stupid and had not escaped. Locke could guarantee that they could not escape from this city, but with the maid's three-legged cat skills, it was not possible at all.

Seeing Locke come back, the maid Rafi acted alertly. But Locke ignored it and walked straight past, throwing the chicken in her hand to her, "Can you deal with it?" Locke asked.

"Yes." Rafi was a little confused and replied blankly.

"Brother!" Christine was very excited to see Locke come back.
