Pirates: I am an enemy of the Four Emperors, and I want to go home

Jianshan Island, the seaport of the Kingdom of Tenakaina.

After more than ten days, Zhou Ruiping's ship finally docked.

Like the previous two islands, the harbor is bustling with people coming and going, but the difference is that most of the houses here are made of blue bricks and red tiles. Although they are dilapidated, they have a sense of age.

There are many stalls on both sides of the road. The stall owners are loudly selling their products, many of which are the various musical instruments mentioned by Xiu Zuo. This scene makes Zhou Ruiping feel like he has returned to the real world. the illusion.

However, many stall owners are members of the Changshou clan. They have two elbow joints, reminding Zhou Ruiping all the time that he is still in the world of pirates.

After getting off the boat, Zhou Ruiping and Xiu Zuo separated. According to the action plan discussed on the boat, Zhou Ruiping and others must first find out about the traitor Tang Ted. After all, the main purpose of him and Tom coming to the Kingdom of Tenakina is still For revenge.

Xiu Zuo, on the other hand, first went to catch up with his old friends, and then used his friends' connections to go to the government to issue a pass to "Yuefu".

With this "pass", Zhou Ruiping can go to "Yuefu" to find clues about time travel.

In this way, Zhou Ruiping and Tom were the only two people left in the team.

At this time, Tom was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. He was not at all excited and curious after arriving on the island. Instead, he said to Zhou Ruiping with a serious face: "Vice Captain, what are we going to do next?"

Zhou Ruiping looked at Tom and replied solemnly: "We are not familiar with the place, so we can only find someone to ask first."

"Fortunately, we know what Tang Taide looks like. We should get something from asking a few more people."

After making up their mind, the two walked to the street. Zhou Ruiping was about to ask someone, but a woman from the Changshou tribe next to him grabbed his right hand. She asked anxiously: "Are you a new arrival from outside?" , have you seen my daughter?"

"She has been missing for several days. I am so worried about him."

Seeing this, Zhou Ruiping shook his head and said, "I have never seen her." After saying that, he heard the people around him shaking their heads and whispering: "Hey, another poor person who has lost his child."

"Speaking of which, several children have disappeared on the island recently, and I don't know where they are now."

Someone is missing here?

Zhou Ruiping reacted immediately, but the woman had already let go of his hand and walked elsewhere.

"Vice Captain, let's ask someone quickly."

Tom's words brought Zhou Ruiping back to his senses. He nodded and asked the person next to him about Ted Tang.

The man thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Zhou Ruiping had no choice but to keep walking forward. He and Tom asked dozens of people as they walked, but found nothing.

Just when the two were at a loss what to do, Zhou Ruiping suddenly heard a cry from behind: "Lottery, welfare lottery."

"For just 10 berri, you have a chance to win the grand prize of 5000 million berri."

“If you’re passing by, don’t miss it.”

Hearing these words, Zhou Ruiping frowned. He estimated the time in his mind. It was impossible for the people from Bucky Express Company to deliver the lottery tickets to Jianshan Island so quickly.

There is no doubt that this lottery ticket is fake.

As his thoughts were spinning, Zhou Ruiping called to Tom, and the two of them squeezed through the crowd and came to the street stall selling lottery tickets.

Zhou Ruiping looked at the stall owner. Coincidentally, he had the same pot-bellied figure as Brady, giving people a simple and honest feeling.

At this moment, the stall owner was holding a stack of newspapers with a smile on his face. While he was distributing it to the onlookers, he introduced the "Welfare Lottery" with spittle.

After reading the description in the newspaper and the alluring explanation of the stall owner, many people became very interested. One of them, a young man, held a thick stack of banknotes in his hand and shouted : "I want to buy [-] lottery tickets, but I don't believe I can't win."

"No problem, I wish you a big win first." As he said that, the stall owner took out a lot of lottery tickets, and then he was ready to accept the young man's money.

Zhou Ruiping saw this and shouted: "Wait a minute, your lottery ticket looks fake."

"The lottery originated from the island of Bali, where the papermaking technology is superb. It is impossible to use such thin paper to make lottery tickets."

"Besides, your lottery ticket doesn't have an anti-counterfeiting mark." He pointed at the lottery ticket and said.

Zhou Ruiping's words made the young man wary. He put away the money in his hand and asked in a suspicious tone: "Shopkeeper, he said your lottery ticket is fake."

"Young man, don't listen to his nonsense. My lottery tickets are authentically purchased from Musgarud Casino. Look at the panoramic view of the casino here..."

Before the stall owner finished speaking, Tom couldn't help but interjected: "Stop lying, do you know who invented the lottery? It's the man in front of you, Mr. Zhou, known as the 'Sage of Gambling'"

"Are you the gambling saint mentioned in the newspaper?" As soon as Tom finished speaking, everyone started talking. Some people even compared the photo in the newspaper with Zhou Ruiping.

"It's exactly the same as the photo. You are the gambling sage known as the 'Father of Lottery'."

"Go away, the gambling sages say your lottery ticket is fake."

Zhou Ruiping did not expect that Tom would say his name in public, nor did he expect that he would be so famous now. In desperation, he could only smile and nod to the onlookers.

Seeing that they had almost been fooled, the onlookers smashed up the shop owner’s stall.

The shopkeeper could only glare at Zhou Ruiping and the others, and ran away in despair.

After the others got angry, they ignored the deceitful store owner. They surrounded Zhou Ruiping and kept asking about the lottery.

Zhou Ruiping responded with a smile: "We will be able to buy lottery tickets here soon. Musgarud Casino has reached a cooperation agreement with Bucky Express Company. Please wait patiently."

"Of course, although lottery tickets are something that can make dreams come true, we should also use them within our means when buying them, and remember not to indulge in them."

While Zhou Ruiping was advertising the lottery, he thought to himself: Brady and Leonard really need to thank me. If the fake lottery is ahead of them, it will be very difficult for them to come here to promote it.

After saying these words, Zhou Ruiping waved his hand and separated from everyone.

After taking two steps, the young man who was about to lose a large amount of money just now followed him. He said in an admiring tone: "Mr. Zhou, thank you very much just now."

Zhou Ruiping waved his hand again and said hurriedly: "It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart."

"By the way, my name is Owen." The young man introduced himself.

Zhou Ruiping was looking for someone to ask about the news about Tang Taide. He hurriedly asked: "Owen, judging from your appearance, you must be a native of the Long Hand tribe, right? Do you know a person named Tang Taide?"

Owen was about to speak when a voice suddenly came: "Vice Captain, Tom, I've finally been waiting for you to come."

As soon as he heard this, Tom's expression changed, and he couldn't help but said to Zhou Ruiping: "It's Ted Tang who is here."

Hearing this, Zhou Ruiping hurriedly turned around and saw that the visitor was in his early thirties. He was wearing a white high hat and a white apron. His face was shiny and he was greeting Zhou Ruiping respectfully.

Following Tang Taide, there was a young man wearing a large mandarin jacket with a "voice" embroidered on his chest. He had pigtails and looked exactly like Apu.

Zhou Ruiping did not expect that the other party came directly to the door. He was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Haha, I went through a lot of hardships to get out of the city."

"You and Tom have suffered. The navy has killed a thousand people. We will never take revenge." Tang Taide lowered his voice and said, "You must come to me for revenge."

"I have collected a lot of information these days. There are still several surviving partners of the Klein Pirates. They are at my house now. Vice-captain, let's discuss revenge together."

With that said, Ted Tang made another gesture of invitation.

Tom was confused by Ted's behavior, and he looked at Zhou Ruiping questioningly.

Zhou Ruiping said calmly and softly: "That's best. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"I still have many questions to ask you about the pirate group."

After saying this, he explained to Owen, "What a coincidence. I happen to have something going on here. Let's meet again by chance."

Owen glanced at Zhou Ruiping and Tang Taide, and he replied with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Zhou, I will wait for you here at the pier..."

"Let's go." Ted Tang interrupted Irving unceremoniously, and he and Abao walked away together with Zhou Ruiping.

Zhou Ruiping frowned. Tang Taide seemed to be worried about Owen when he left in such a hurry. There must be something fishy in this.

Just as he was thinking about it, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Mr. Zhou, when you arrive at the other party's house, be sure not to touch things randomly, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

Zhou Ruiping looked around hurriedly, and only Owen, who was not far away, nodded and smiled at him.

Owen is also an esper. Although we don’t know what his intentions are, he should not be an enemy.

Don't touch things randomly. Owen has probably seen Abao's ability.

As his thoughts rolled around, Zhou Ruiping seized another opportunity and whispered to Tom what Owen had just said.

Tom was also confused, but at this time, Don Ted invited: "Vice Captain, Tom, please get in the car."

Zhou Ruiping looked up and saw a carriage. He hesitated for a moment and got on first.

Tom followed closely behind.
