The two pearling boats are close to each other and have been boarded with planks, allowing them to walk back and forth between them.

Han Mo boarded the first number in the morning, and in the admiring eyes of a crowd of people, he walked up to Han Xuanchang and Cao Yin, and saluted respectfully: "Han Mo has seen Lord Hou and his father!" ”

Han Xuanchang stared at Han Mo and reproached: "Young and vigorous, it's really impulsive. ”

"Dad, grandpa said that if you don't be impulsive, you are not a young man." Han Mo said with a smile, although Han Xuanchang blamed him, he could hear it from his father's tone, and his father's heart was full of pride.

"Does it still hurt?" Han Xuanchang reached out and touched Han Mo's shoulder, and was torn off a small piece of flesh alive by the strange shark, although it was bandaged, the gauze was still soaked in blood.

"It's fine." Han Mo saw the look of concern in Han Xuanchang's eyes, and his heart warmed: "Dad, I've already taken medicine, it doesn't hurt, you don't have to worry." ”

Cao Yin looked at Han Mo with a tender gaze on the side, and said softly: "Han Haiguan, this hero is a young man, and it is just right to use it on you." He couldn't help but go up and take Han Mo's hand, staring at the powerful but beautiful hands, and sighed: "Who would have thought that it was such a pair of hands that killed such a fierce strange shark alive." ”

Han Mo was held by this beautiful "glass", and his heart was very uncomfortable, so he took it out and arched his hand: "Master Hou has won the award." It's just a little monster shark, well, it's just a monster shark boy. ”

"That's rare." Cao Yin sighed, and loved the brave and beautiful young man in front of him more and more.

……

"Dad, are you still going to let those people continue to go to the sea to collect mussels?" Han Mo's expression became serious, staring at Han Xuanchang and asking.

Han Xuanchang glanced at Cao Yin before he said, "The strange shark is dead, and the danger is over." The treasury is waiting for silver, so we naturally have to seize every minute of time to collect the pearls of the Great East China Sea as soon as possible and present them to the imperial court. Xiang Cao Yin hugged his fist and continued: "Hou Ye worked hard, and I came to the sea, it was detrimental to your body, the sooner we pick all the pearls, the sooner we can return to the shore, and we will avoid the pain of Hou Ye's fatigue." ”

Cao Yin smiled gently and waved his hand: "Ben Hou is fine, the vast sea, being able to overlook the distance and suck the sea breeze of the East China Sea is also a blessing." It's just a matter of the imperial court, we can't delay, it's always better as soon as possible. ”

Han Mo immediately said: "Master Hou, Dad, at this time, you must not go to the sea. ”

Cao Yin and Han Xuanchang glanced at each other, both of them were a little strange, and when they saw Han Mo's determined expression, they couldn't help asking, "Why is this?" The strange shark is dead, the threat has passed, why can't it go to the sea yet? ”

"The crisis is not over yet." Han Mo said with certainty: "And the real crisis is coming. If these mussel pickers were sent to the sea at this time, Han Mo believed that more people would die under the sea. ”

"Mo'er, don't be untrustworthy." Han Xuanchang frowned: "At this time, people's hearts have fluctuated, and if you say these words, it will cause everyone's panic, so don't talk nonsense." Turning to Cao Yin, he said: "Master Hou, Han Mo is young and ignorant, and he is untrustworthy, don't blame him." ”

Cao Yin shook his head and said: "Lord Han, Han Mo is not only brave, but also smart and calm, since he said this, he must have his own reasoning, and it is not impossible to listen to him tell the reason." Xiang Mo Wen said: "Han Haiguan, do you have any worries, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

When Han Mo heard him say this, he also had a little good impression of this Cao Yin in his heart, although he was a "glass marquis", but aside from this preference, this person could be regarded as a calm and gentle person, so he said respectfully: "Hou Ye, Han Mo has also read a lot of books, and he has a little understanding of the habits of the strange shark." This strange shark is the most grudgeful, once they take over the grudge, their wildness will burst out to the maximum, stormy waves, and move forward bravely, which can be said to be extremely ferocious. ”

"That's what I know, too." Cao Yin nodded and said, "I also read the introduction of the strange shark in the Royal Academy, saying that it has a fierce temperament and holds grudges. After a pause, he asked with a little doubt on his face: "It's just that this strange shark is dead, no matter how ferocious it is, it's just a floating corpse, what harm can it be?" ”

"Master Hou may not know, this is just a little monster shark." Han Mo said slowly: "Han Mo can be sure that there should be at least one big monster shark around here, that is the adult monster shark, and it is also the overlord of this sea area." This strange shark has its own territory, so there are not too many strange sharks operating in this sea area, but it is impossible to have only this small strange shark. ”

"I see, you mean that the mother of this little monster shark is very likely in this area." Cao Yin came to his senses.

"Yes." Han Mo clenched his fists and said, "At least there is one more, if there are many, there are even several in this family." Moreover, the strange sharks are the most sensitive to the smell of blood, perhaps they have already smelled the breath of this place and are rushing here. ”

Han Xuanchang couldn't imagine that his son knew so much, and thought that he studied extremely weekdays, but he was extremely worried: "If this is the case, then wouldn't we have no way to go to the sea?" So how long will it take? ”

The tension that had been loosened was once again shrouded in Han Xuanchang's heart at this time.

These pearl people are all people of the East China Sea, Han Xuanchang doesn't want to sacrifice these people in vain, after all, the pearl people will be needed in the future, if something happens to these people, it will obviously have a great impact on the pearl diving operation planned by the Han family. But the most important thing is that once the lives of the people are exchanged for pearls regardless of their lives, once the word spreads, the prestige of the Han family in Donghai County will definitely be greatly affected.

The Han family has been in charge of the East China Sea for nearly a hundred years, firstly, because the foundation formed by the king of the East China Sea is stable, and secondly, it is also to treat the people with benevolence.

……

Cao Yin suddenly showed a smile and said, "Han Haiguan, you seem to have thought of a countermeasure. ”

Han Mo said: "Master Hou, Han Mo did think of a way, but he didn't know if it worked. ”

"Mo'er, what do you think of, just say it." Han Xuanchang looked at the blood on the sea and said slowly: "Everything is up to the Hou Ye to decide." ”

Han Mo was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Master Hou, when those strange sharks come here and see their companions and even their children killed, they must be wild, and we can take advantage of this." ”

"Han Haiguan, how to use it?"

Han Mo didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at the sea.

The officials of the fishing department have sent small boats to the sea to salvage the corpses of the mussel pickers, and in this incident, seven or eight people died under the sharp teeth of the strange sharks, and the bodies of several people have been mutilated and miserable.

"Master Hou, look at those corpses!" Han Mo said slowly: "Although it is very inhumane, but ...... If the pearl collection is to be completed, these corpses have to make their final contribution. He looked back at Han Xuanchang and Cao Yin, and didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Dip the corpse with poison, and then put the corpse back into the sea, those strange sharks will definitely use these corpses as the object of venting when they arrive here, at that time, as long as the flesh and bones of the corpse enter their bodies, they will definitely die of poisoning." ”

Han Xuanchang frowned, and did not speak for a while.

Han Mo also understood in his heart that although in this era, the lives of ordinary people were nothing in the eyes of the nobles, but if the corpse was really used as bait, it would still be somewhat cruel.

The body skin, the parents who receive it, even ordinary people, even their own heads are extremely cherished, and when those condemned prisoners choose the way to die, they often want to keep a whole corpse, so as to find a way to rely on the relationship in the future, which shows that the body occupies a very important position in the hearts of people in this era.

Several people were groaning.

"Poison?" Cao Yin finally asked.

"Yes!" Han Xuanchang replied.

"Go ahead and do it!"

Han Xuanchang sighed, but he knew in his heart that the method that Han Mo said was the only way to properly solve the predicament at present, so he could only reply respectfully: "Yes!" ”

Cao Yin looked at Han Mo, who was standing as straight as a javelin, the look in his eyes was very complicated, he sighed lightly, and said, "It's a big thing." After a pause, he added: "Serve the court well in the future." Remember your words and protect the most noble family of Yan Kingdom! ”

"Han Mo takes the order!"

……

The changes in the sea are unpredictable, and the sky is still blue, but in the blink of an eye, the sea breeze suddenly becomes violent, blowing the flags on the pearl diving boats.

Han Xuanchang called several fishery officials and instructed them to soak the victims' bodies in poison and then throw them into the sea.

When the rain fell in the sky, six or seven mutilated corpses were also carefully soaked by the doctors, infected with poison, and the flesh of the corpses was black, and then they were thrown back into the sea, and many people showed unbearable colors, but the officials of their own fishery department also knew that this was a helpless thing.

In order for more people to be able to safely carry pearls, this is the only way to do this.

The wind and rain were shaking, the two pearl diving boats shook with the waves, and Xiao Tongguang vomited again.

It didn't take long for the people on the side of the boat to see a few strange sharks emerge from the rolling waves, and in the bloody water, they were frantically biting at several poisoned corpses, and many people closed their eyes and couldn't bear to look at them anymore.

"May their souls rest in peace!" Han Mo stood on the side of the ship, his expression calm and muttered to himself.

P bookshelves have a vacant place under the collection! Thank you!
