The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 17 Inquiry
17. Inquire about news

While the engineering robot was renovating the spaceship, Quinto chatted with Truda, they were old acquaintances.

"Speaking of which, where did Ferasi go? Why didn't he come with you?" Truda asked. "A few people over there look familiar."

He pointed to Cun Te, Tang Xiao and others.

"They're my new... er..." Quinto began to think about what to say.He can't say that Felasi was raised as a hostage on the Dawn planet by Tang Xiao's delicious food, right?
"Partner." Munter said later.

"Ah yes, partner!" Quinto quickly echoed.

"Okay, clean your ass for your own business. I've informed Jabba that his men should be here soon," Truda said.

"Hey old man! How dare you cheat me! I just got to Tatooine and have to drink a glass of water!" Quinto complained.

Truda sneered and said, "We all work for Jabba, you should know that."

Sure enough, just as they were talking, a few people dressed as bounty hunters came outside, and as soon as they entered the door, they shouted, "Quinto! Come out for me! What is Jabba asking for?"

Kunto trembled in fright. He glanced at Tang Xiao with a begging look but he didn't get any response, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I'll... right away."

"You guys, unload and load the goods! Jabba wants these things!" Another Twi'lek mercenary yelled at Tang Xiao, shaking a blaster rifle in his hand.

This blaster rifle looks like a military item. Compared with the cheap DL-18 blaster pistol in the hands of Quinto and his party, it is much more high-end. No wonder they are so nervous.

T-850 stepped forward to give this provocative guy a little color.But Tang Xiao stopped him and said, "Okay, let's load it!"

With that said, he didn't feel too dirty, walked into the cargo hold of the spaceship, carried a large box out and put it on a 'Banza II' suspended cargo ship, several bounty hunters watched Tang Xiao and the others with their hands behind their backs the whole time busy.Then one of them threw Quinto a handful of gold coins and walked away.

Quinto nodded and said loudly: "Hey!! This is only 2000 Upi! Didn't you say 5000?!"

Upi Upi is the currency that circulates on Tatooine.Tatooine is located in the outer ring star region and is the sphere of influence of the Hutts. The credit point of the Galactic Republic has not been recognized. This unofficial currency is the real hard currency.

But the bounty hunters didn't stop, and one person turned back and mocked, "It's good to give you the money! Keep it, useless mufu cow milker, hahahaha."

Quinto's face changed several times, and when the cargo boat was far away, he raised his middle finger fiercely in that direction, "Born by a group of Bansa mothers!"

Cunte was very free and easy. He walked over and hugged Kunto's shoulders and shook and said: "It's okay, isn't there some money here? Let's do a few jobs at that time. When our colony is built Now, there will be a lot of work, and there is no need to look at Jabba's face."

"Jabba..." Quinto's head dropped at the name.

"Let's go, find a place to have a drink, I'll treat you." Cunte said.

"In the end, it's not my money, I just ask." Quinto shook his head with a wry smile.

They entered the city of Mos Eisley, which was completely unplanned, with no marked roads, only a hodgepodge of houses and shantytowns, like an oversized slum.

There are all kinds of different alien races on the road, and all of them wear cloaks to protect them from the scorching sun.Some people were hawking strange goods, others were asking if they had jobs, or they were mercenaries leaning against the wall with weapons and waiting for business to come.

Generally, those mercenaries try to make a fierce expression and try to make themselves appear more powerful.

At this time, a cylindrical robot like a bamboo pole walked through the street carrying a few Quarren heads. Pedestrians on the road retreated one after another, and those ferocious-looking mercenaries ran the fastest.

Some passersby were still whispering, "Look, those Quarren from the Iron Fish Gang! They robbed Jabba's cargo ship a few days ago..."

Quinto also pulled away Tang Xiao, who was watching curiously, to make way.He whispered, "This is IG-41, one of Jabba's bounty hunters. Stay away from it, and it'll shoot whatever it thinks it does to stop the mission."

Tang Xiao didn't speak. He glanced at the robot, turned his head, and followed Quinto to a bar in Mos Eisley.There are a lot of fish and dragons here, all kinds of robots and aliens are mixed together, and they buy some low-quality alcoholic beverages with a little income from their hard work, and then vent their excess energy.

Quarren who looked like squid, Gamor who looked like a big wild boar, similar to humans, but with two tentacles on their heads, Twi'leks of different skin colors... This place was like a rare zoo.

Cunte is also very new to this place. As soon as he entered the bar, he asked Kunto to get some change and wandered around. Soon he hooked up with a Twilek woman and went drinking happily.

Tang Xiao went straight to the large oval bar in the middle of the bar, called the bartender, ordered a glass of wine and drank it one by one, and at the same time threw out a Upi Upi coin and said in a low voice, "I want to inquire about the sky. News from the traveler's family."

The bartender put away the coins calmly, wiped the dishes and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "They live in the port of Mos Esper, they are slaves of a Toidarian garbage dealer Walter— It's a gamble he won from Gadura the Hutt, and it's been rumored for a long time."

Tang Xiao took out another coin and pushed it over, "I want to find them, any suggestions?"

The bartender put away the coins again, put the plates neatly one by one, and said at the same time: "The port of Mos Esper is the territory of Gadura the Hutt, you know, Jabba and Gadura are the two Hutts. Human relationships... hehe. You're doing things for Jabba, you know what's going to happen."

This place is really mixed and no one can believe it, Tang Xiao thought.As soon as he came to this planet, he was taken away by Jabba's people, and the people here knew the news so quickly.

Tang Xiao weighed the last Upi Upi coin in his hand. He was about to say something, but suddenly he felt a force pushing him aside. He frowned and was about to get angry. When he turned around, he saw only one The drunk man who was obviously drunk was lying on the bar next to him, snorting the pungent smell of alcohol and said, "Hey! What about you, little fanpi! How about you, do you want to cooperate with me to get some money?"

Tang Xiao made a gesture to stop the T-850 that was about to start, and asked, "Tell me, what can you do?"

"Hahahaha! Look at your tender skin, you must have money at home, right? Hiccup~~~! I kidnapped you, and then you ask your family for money to redeem, how about it? Hahaha~~~~ Hiccup~~~!!" The drunk man laughed as he said that, and a few people at the other table next to him who were supposed to be with him also laughed in agreement.
