I looked at Ling'er calmly and said: "Although I am not a magic hand, and I have never followed the rules of the magic hand, there is one rule that I cannot break. That is, Chinese treasures must not leave our hands overseas. .”
"Therefore, neither the Magic Sect nor the Magic Sect will cooperate with overseas adventurers."
I said solemnly: "When I agreed to your condition, I thought you would hire me to explore overseas restricted areas. If this was the condition, even if I was wanted by the Holy See, I would not mind sneaking overseas to explore the restricted areas with you. But , but not within China."
Ling'er looked at me for a long time before nodding and saying, "I understand, sorry for bothering me."
Ling'er didn't threaten me or beg me, and all the words I prepared were useless.
However, when I saw Ling'er getting up to say goodbye, I didn't know what to say, because at that moment, I did feel a little uncomfortable. After all, Bell went out of her way to help us in Britain.
Without Linger, several of us would have been buried overseas long ago. However, this rule of the Detective Hand does not involve life and death, but the bottom line. I can't touch it.
I stood up and wanted to say something, but Mother Fox opened the door and walked in: "Please stay."
Mother Fox waved her hand and said: "Miss Ling'er, if you are not in a hurry, we can talk again."
Ling'er nodded and sat down. Mother Fox said straight to the point: "We can't touch the rules of the Detective Hand, but it's not impossible to work around them."
When I looked at Mother Fox in shock, the latter gave me a calm gesture, and then slowly said: "The rule of the Detective Hand is not to cooperate with overseas adventurers, but it does not say that it cannot cooperate with Chinese adventurers. Cooperate with non-governmental organizations. If you and your team become Chinese, we can still cooperate. It depends on Miss Ling'er's choice."
My eyes lit up at first, and then I frowned.
The meaning of Mother Fox is very simple, that is, let Ling'er take his team to join the nationality. In this way, there will be no such thing as cooperation with overseas adventurers. As long as we can ensure that the secrets in the restricted area will not leak out, that will be enough.
However, this is the most important decision in life for Linger. When she became a national, she left the Tulip family. She not only gave up the Tulip family's astronomical financial resources and prominent status, but also had to start from scratch in China. There were not many people in the world who had such courage.
What I didn't expect was that Ling'er hesitated for less than a minute before nodding: "I agree."
I was surprised: "You don't want the Tulip family anymore?"
Ling'er smiled faintly and said: "The Tulip family does not belong to me in the first place. Besides, I believe that as long as I live, I can build my own family. Money, this kind of thing is more fulfilling if you earn it yourself, don't you think? ?”
After a slight pause, Ling'er said again: "More importantly, if I don't leave Tulip, I will turn into a snake. I will not let myself live in a glass box for the rest of my life just for a few years of power."
"Okay!" Mother Fox raised her thumb: "I will go and help you go through the procedures right away. Don't take any action before the procedures are completed, so as not to cause trouble. Wang Huan, please check the information carefully, and be sure to ensure that Ling'er Foolproof.”
Mother Fox just did what she said, left us in the house and walked away in a hurry.
I didn't understand why Mother Fox was so excited. Later, I found out what Mother Fox had planned.
That night, Mother Fox called me over: "Wang Huan, you have to keep Ling'er this time no matter what, you know?"
Mother Fox looked at me with a confused look on her face, and then she said earnestly: "Wang Huan! This time you have made great contributions to the institute again. Did you know? Ling'er has a team composed entirely of adventurers of Chinese descent. Their name is the Seven Stars Adventure Group. Although their strength is not as good as that of the disciples of the Exploring Hand Sect, they are able to dominate Qingfeng. How much help does this give us?"
I was confused at the time: "Mother Fox, are you kidnapping someone again? You really spared no effort for the sake of the institute!"
Mother Fox said mysteriously: "That's not the point, you know? The point is that Ling'er is an investment genius. Tulip has been invincible in the financial market in recent years because of Ling'er's unique vision."
"Think about it! The little money you earn is enough for you to marry a wife? If you marry Si Ruo in the future, can you still eat and drink from your father-in-law? With Ling'er, it will be different. With her here, Your money will surely breed countless offspring..."
I was dumbfounded: "Mother Fox, why do I feel like you want to invest?"
Mother Fox said with a smile: "It's not me, it's us?"
Mother Fox pointed to the circle of Yingying Yanyan in the living room: "We are ready and asked Ling'er to help us invest. We will be shareholders of her company in the future."
Mother Fox's eyes flashed with cold light: "If you dare to let Ling'er turn into a snake, we will work together to make you lose something."
Xia Qingqing leaned over gently: "If you draw Ling'er over, we promise to cure you!"
"I'm not sick, I'm fine, I'm fine just the way I am now." I was so frightened that I ran away quickly. These women, big and small, could do anything. It was best for me to go and check the information quickly.
I stayed in the institute's database for three days and saw Ling'er's social skills. When I came out, Ling'er had already become close to the girls in the institute. It's probably a matter of time before we become best friends.
Without even saying anything, someone asked me about the situation.
But I have no clue about Wang Zhi. There are too many legends about Wang Zhi, but there are too few that can be used. According to historical data, Wang Zhi was a target of annihilation by the imperial court, so no historian would write a special book about him. Wang Zhi's main scope of activities is not on land. There are no positive stories about him. The most common legends are about Wang Zhi's treasures or shipwrecks.
However, from those legends, I can't find anything really useful. Not even the ballads of folklore.
I spread out the information and sat down and said: "Judging from Wang Zhi's life, Wang Zhi was a pirate and a businessman. His final goal was to 'blackmail the government and open up the port and market.' Wang Zhi was beheaded in the end because he believed in the imperial court. Show to the public. This is the evaluation of Wang Zhi by modern scholars."
I paused at this point and said, "But, have you ever thought about one question? Since Wang Zhi has established himself as king, why would he be inclined to be recruited by the imperial court?"
Ren Tianqing raised his head and said, "You mean, Wang Zhi looks a bit like Song Jiang in "Water Margin"?"
"Wang Zhi is definitely not Song Jiang." I shook my head and said, "Song Jiang's banner is to uphold justice for heaven, but Wang Zhi is not."
"Song Jiang never proclaimed himself king or established a national title from the beginning to the end. Liangshan only had leaders and no officials. Wang Zhi occupied Songjinpu and not only proclaimed himself King of Hui, but also founded the country with the title Song, and also conferred officials. From this point of view , he is definitely not Song Jiang’s character.”
"Historical data records that Wang Zhi cooperated with the imperial court many times to exterminate other pirates. However, this does not mean that Wang Zhi surrendered to the imperial court wholeheartedly. The relationship between the pirate kings and the imperial court during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was mostly sometimes cooperative and sometimes antagonistic. , Wang Zhi was like this, and so was the later Pirate King Zheng Zhilong.”
"The words 'Blackmail the government and open up the port and market', in a sense, already mean that Wang Zhi has placed his status as high as that of the imperial court."
After I said this, I said in a deep voice: "Now I think, what is the reason that prompted Wang Zhi to give up the good situation and compromise with the court?"
Ye Xun heard what I said and said, "According to your statement, if Wang Zhi established the Song Kingdom, would Wang Zhi's treasure be hidden in Songjinpu?"
"No!" I shook my head and said, "Let's not talk about it for a moment, how is the cooperation between Wang Zhi and the Toyo people? The Toyo people's character alone is not enough for Wang Zhi to completely trust them. The Toyo people are wolves, and when their master is strong , they will be as docile as dogs. Once their master is injured or seriously ill, they will not hesitate to bite their master's throat. Wang Zhi would not have thought of this."
"Another point is that both pirates and bandits are very particular about cunning rabbits and three caves. They will not leave all their treasures in one place. There must be a secret treasure hiding place in case they can make a comeback. Therefore, Wang Zhi's treasure must not be It will be in its own nest.”
Ren Tianqing said worriedly: "There are no maps, no legends, and no folk nursery rhymes to refer to. If you want to find Wang Zhi's treasure in the sea, isn't it the same as finding a needle in a haystack?"
Xia Qingqing looked at Ling'er: "Is there any exact location for the clues you found?"
"No?" Ling'er shook her head and said, "Among the information we can find, only the Tulip has participated in Wang Zhi's maritime trade and sold muskets to Wang Zhi. That's all."
Mother Fox nodded and said, "Looking at it this way, Tulip has indeed had in-depth cooperation with Wang Zhi."
"The reason why muskets were introduced to the East was because Wang Zhi played a key role. Without the transaction between Wang Zhi and the Franco pirates (Portuguese) at that time, muskets would not have been introduced to the East. In a sense, It was Wang Zhi who accelerated the unification of the East."
"At that time, muskets were among the most advanced weapons in the world. Wang Zhi was able to obtain the muskets from the Fo Langji pirates, which shows the extent of their cooperation. There should be no problem with Ling'er's judgment."
Mother Fox paused for a moment and said: "Judging from the information currently available to Detective God, there are many legends about people being able to transform into snakes. However, they are all concentrated in the inland, not along the coast. There should be no such thing as snake transformation in the West. s legend."
"If Ling'er's inference can be established, the curse of the Tulip family should come from one of Wang Zhi's subordinates. That person may be a descendant of the ancient witch sect, and he was also a witch sect who worshiped the snake totem."
Ren Tianqing exclaimed in shock: "Isn't this mission related to the Five Poison Sect?"
