"Well?" Locke frowned and looked carefully. The faces of the squatting people were covered with black spots smeared with mud ash. Their hair was withered and yellow. They should have not been cleaned for a few days. They were wearing old gray cloth clothes and unkempt. They really couldn't see the appearance of a woman.

Gulas smiled flatteringly, "this is a gang of two traffickers. When I broke the city, I saw these people sneaking, so I took my brothers to carry them. I didn't expect it to be a big fish. Nuo, those boxes are full of their goods and there are many good things!" After that, gulas kicked away the wooden box, and there were glittering jewelry and gold and silver coins in it.

Locke realized that there was an unwritten rule for brothers like this to get a large number of private goods. They handed in 50%, 20% to the camp, 30% to the squadron leader, and the rest was divided equally by themselves. The reason why there is such a rule is that there is no channel for soldiers to get rid of a large number of seizures. Even if there is a channel, secretly occupying such a great wealth will cause cracks between soldiers and officers, so there is such a rule.

However, Locke seldom heard that underground soldiers robbed large quantities of goods before. Those businessmen and rich families who were able ran away long before the arrival of the army. Those who were unable would also be watched by the Baron's cavalry squadron. The Baron allowed the soldiers to make money by themselves, but would not allow the soldiers to make money in their pockets. If soldiers robbed money with the camp, The soldier will never see the sun the next day.

"Yes." Locke praised that Locke had never made so much money before.

"Hey, hey." Gulas didn't speak, just giggled.

Locke looked at this guy with beard and strong physique. He really couldn't see that his heart was so thin. It's really hard to judge by appearance. "You can handle the part handed in by yourself, and you can change my part into Deloitte and give it to me. As for these goods, you can give half to the Baron's caravan and half to a businessman named Henry in the camp." Locke is not a man who breaks his promise. He plans to make friends with the fat businessman, but he dare not give him all the soldiers' seizures. Who knows if the Baron will wear small shoes for him because of the profits of the caravan. It's safe and right.

Since gulas said it was a gang of two traffickers, there must be a leader. "Which of you is the leader?" Asked Locke.

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

"Is that you?" Locke looked at the ugly man with a pair of ribs. If it weren't for his slightly cunning eyes, he might have ignored the man. However, seeing his trembling appearance at this time, he doesn't have the momentum of the second dealer leader.

"Yes, my Lord. The villain's name is bick." Although the man with ribs is timid, he has a clever tongue. "The villain is a famous businessman in Flanders. Sir, you can let the villain live. The villain can bring you great wealth."

"Oh, a two-way trafficker, a smuggler, dare to call himself a businessman." The nearby gulas disdained with a smile.

Locke was interested in him, not in his talent, but in his wealth. Locke suddenly thought that two dealers like this don't do business alone. They should be a group of people. This group of people are scavengers, so there must be a receiver. If they go down his line, there should be a surprise.

The sparerib man was worried when he heard gulas's words. He was particularly afraid that the soldiers thought he was worthless and slaughtered him. "Villains can also see things. Villains have been doing odd jobs in jewelry stores and pawn shops since childhood. They have practiced a pair of golden eyes, which can help adults find babies."

"Kirby, right? Help me see this." Locke remembered the maid's bracelet he took last night and showed him whether it was worth money.

As soon as nakby heard this, he immediately wiped his hands on his clothes, took the gold bracelet, observed it repeatedly through the light, and even took his fingers to play the bracelet, which looked a little professional. However, he soon showed a trace of disdain. Others didn't see it, but Locke kept observing him and caught it.

"How?" Locke asked quietly.

"My Lord, this... This..." Kirby stammered.

"Speak quickly." Locke urged.

"My Lord, this bracelet is not a top-grade Bracelet in my opinion. Although the weight of the bracelet is not much different from the real gold bracelet, the bracelet is not as soft as gold. It should be mixed with copper, and the weight is not bad. It should be added with some silver. As for gold, it should be coated with a layer of gold powder on the surface, and whether there are other impurities or tools. The villain can't see it at present." Ribs man Kerry said everything is Tao. "In short, this bracelet is worth up to five silver coins." At the end, Kirby also valued the bracelet.

Five silver coins can be converted into one or two silver Deloitte. If Locke still liked it in the past, now, 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 it was only the maid's, and it was almost excusable. Locke comforted himself so much.

Gulas is worthy of being a personal expert. Seeing that Locke is in a bad mood at this time, he quickly kicked nakby, "if you have anything good, please take it out and show it to brother Locke."

As soon as Kirby heard that the value and life of his gang might be in the hands of the officer, he was busy rummaging through the boxes of the gang. Finally, a pair of exquisite earrings and a dark green bracelet were selected. "My Lord, this is the best thing here. It is suspected that a noble woman pawned in the villain. The earring villain is so big. It can be said that few jewels she has seen are more precious than her, and the bracelet. If the villain is not mistaken, it is made of yunmo gem. The yunmo gem used for such a large bracelet is certainly not small. Yunmo gem was used to make it in the past High grade ring. "

This earring is really a boutique. The diamond on it is valuable. As for the bracelet, Locke didn't see any way. Since he said it was good, it should be good. Locke didn't say much and put away two things.

There was no point in staying here any longer. When Locke left, he ordered gulas, "it's useful for me to keep that boy alive."

Locke walked around the city. It was still so chaotic. I'm afraid the situation could not be restrained until the Baron ordered to stop disturbing the residents.

Locke first went to the original team to have a look. Hans was taking his brothers to copy things in a grocery store. Kane was sitting on the roof in a daze. Kane was like this. He didn't have a normal shape and liked to take advantage of small things, but Locke knew that he was the kindest person in the team. He basically didn't participate in such looting activities every time. Locke asked him once. He said that seeing the Sherlock civilians, he thought of his years as a beggar. Everyone acquiesced in his behavior, but every harvest will be counted as his share.

At noon, the Baron's order finally came from the city Lord's house. The army stopped the "search" and took the team as the unit to stand by in Xicheng District.

Xicheng District is the area bombarded by the Kashgar Baron with magicians. It has long been a barren land, but it also means that the place is clean and just for the soldiers to camp there.

Most of the soldiers didn't sleep all night. In addition to the fierce battle before, as soon as they gathered, they found a place to sleep.

Locke also met acquaintances from Baron Kashgar's army here. Sean, also a civilian born captain, once fought side by side with Locke and had a good relationship.

"Why, are you here?" Locke said hello. This is a hierarchical world. Locke's first words mean that he is willing to make this friend.

"Yes, brother Locke, I'm glad you've been promoted. I just got a good wine last night. Why don't you go to my place tonight? I'll be the host." Sean was glad to see that Locke was still in love. Although they are not subordinate to the same army, it is just that they have a higher position and rank than him. 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 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. As usual, there should be no task from now to tomorrow afternoon. The injury suffered by Locke yesterday did not affect his drinking under the influence of fighting spirit.

After mixing his face in the camp, Locke returned to his small yard with a chicken in his hand. Hans sent it. It is worthy of being an old brother.

Raffi, the maid in the yard, was sweeping the floor, but she was worried and didn't know why. Christine sat on the doorframe fiddling with her fingers. It seemed that she was much better. Grace should be in the house. It seems that these women are not stupid and did not escape. Locke can guarantee that they will not escape from the city. They can't do it at all with the maid's three legged Kung Fu.

When Locke came back, the maid Raffi made a defensive move. But Locke didn't answer. He walked straight past and threw the chicken to her. "Can you handle it?" Asked Locke.

"Yes." Raffi was still a little confused and replied blankly.

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

Locke rubbed Christine's little head. He also likes little girls. In general, the soldiers who caught sherlow nobles would give them to the officer and receive a reward, but Locke didn't intend to do so. Although they haven't admitted their identity yet, Locke doesn't care. These women he likes are his.
