On the Xiangjiang Wharf, the entire wharf has been surrounded by heavy foreign troops at this moment, prohibiting all idle people from approaching, which is more than twice as strict as the usual guards.
It can be seen from this that Peter is actually still concerned about these national treasures.
Ye Shaolong had an apologetic look on his face, this time he sincerely thanked Peter, after all, Peter didn't have to give himself these things at all.
"Thank you, Peter, again, I have made a note of this favor." Ye Shaolong's face was serious and sincere.
"Ye, it's okay! I understand your feelings, we are partners, so there is no need to say those kind words again. Besides, didn't you compensate me with a million taels of silver! Peter was also very sincere.
Ye Shaolong listened, smiled at him, and didn't say anything more? In short, Ye Shaolong will keep this favor of him in his heart.
And Peter's performance made Ye Shaolong confused about his previous views on Peter. He felt that Peter was treating himself so sincerely, and Ye Shaolong suspected that he had regarded Peter too much power before.
"Maybe I'm really wrong about you, Peter!" Ye Shaolong secretly paid in his heart.
The two of them then boarded the warship that the Japanese used to carry the national treasure, and in the middle of the cabin, there were more than 100 large wooden boxes stacked neatly on a whole floor.
Peter walked straight in, Ye Shaolong followed, and stopped in front of a pried open wooden box, Peter pointed to the contents and said, "Ye, take a look for yourself, everything is here." β
Ye Shaolong stepped forward to check according to his words, and there were calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, gold and jade. In short, there is a dazzling array of everything, Ye Shaolong doesn't understand these artistic things, but there are some things that are actually very precious to people who don't understand.
After walking around, it took nearly an hour for Ye Shaolong to look at all the more than 100 wooden boxes and make sure that everything was intact.
"How? There's nothing wrong with that, right? Peter waited for a long time, and when he saw Ye Shaolong finally walking back, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
Ye Shaolong smiled and nodded: "Peter, there is no problem with things, can I order someone to move out now?" β
Peter laughed and said, "Of course, Ye! You've seen this stuff too, it's very valuable. So when I found out, the dock was under martial law, and I brought in a large army to guard it. If you can move out as soon as possible, I'd have had an easier time sooner. β
Ye Shaolong and Peter were polite for a while, and then immediately asked Su Can to arrange someone to move things. For this reason, almost all the people in Yejiazhuang were dispatched, and the Zhao family and the Wu family, the manpower of the two families also poured out, escorting Yejiazhuang all the way.
You have to be careful not to have any bumps in moving these fragile items, so you will definitely not be able to finish it for a while. It's obviously not appropriate to wait here boringly.
Peter then invited Ye Shaolong to get some wine and food in the dock, and waited while eating. Although Ye Shaolong was still injured, he happily agreed.
Considering Ye Shaolong's injuries, Peter deliberately made grape wine, and the two were unhappy to exchange glasses. As soon as the wine was over, Peter opened the barrister.
"Ye, you can't hide these things yourself, it's really not worth it to give them away."
"No, Peter, you don't understand. These things are more meaningful than their own value, and they cannot be exchanged for money. So, when the right opportunity arises, I'll send him back where they were supposed to be. β
Peter saw that Ye Shaolong was still persistent, so he stopped persuading him about it, and said instead: "Now that Xiangjiang has completely settled down, in a few days, I believe that there should be a reply to the matter I reported before." If it goes well, Rennes' position should not be able to run, which means that the two of us can enjoy it with peace of mind in the future. β
Thinking of this, Peter's face was overflowing with red light, after years of waiting, finally the dream is about to come true, it is indeed worth celebrating!
Ye Shaolong didn't think that with a small Xiangjiang, Peter would be satisfied. Not to mention that this Xiangjiang is still divided and ruled by him equally.
In order to test Peter's true heart, Ye Shaolong pretended to be casual and said: "Peter, a little Xiangjiang, are you satisfied, I don't think so?" β
Peter paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "Ye, I am a self-aware person, and I am greedy when I am sure. And I will be so dissatisfied with the status quo, in fact, I was forced by Wren. β
Ye Shaolong didn't agree, but he didn't say much, after all, it was not good to ask too directly.
However, Peter seemed to be full of grievances, and he continued to nag: "You don't know, a person has been pressing on your head for nearly ten years. And Wren wasn't a good boss, and he shouldn't have treated me like that. I worked diligently under him for eight years, and he always didn't take me seriously. β
"The credit is his, and without my share, even if I mention my name to the consortium. And once there is a disaster, it is me, the second-in-command, who will fight it. Ye, if it were you, would you be able to bear it? β
Saying this, Peter's eyes began to moisten, and he seemed to be really in pain.
Ye Shaolong hurriedly comforted him and let his mood gradually calm down, and Ye Shaolong also took the opportunity to change the topic.
"Peter, you said that the pirates had lost these ten warships and all this wealth, wouldn't they have sent someone to find out? And they will inevitably find out the truth of the matter, what are you going to do then? Ye Shaolong has actually been worried about this in his heart.
If they are not willing to compromise like this, there will be constant troubles in the future. And the only way to end this cycle is to completely defeat the Japanese bandits.
Peter said indifferently: "Ye, no matter how arrogant the Japanese are, they don't dare to come to Xiangjiang to make trouble at present." Also, at present, the focus of the Japanese is on the domestic territory of the Great Qing Kingdom, and as for the small loss here in Xiangjiang, it is not enough for them to take revenge frantically. β
Hearing Peter's words, Ye Shaolong felt a lot more relieved, as long as Peter was willing to face the Japanese Invaders, instead of suddenly reversing to cooperate with the Wolves like Ren before, this was what Ye Shaolong was most worried about.
Now, it seems, Peter has no chance of making peace with the Wokos. But Ye Shaolong didn't dare to relax too much. The heart of harming others must not be prevented, and the things that should be prevented must be guarded against, and we must not be sloppy at all.
For a whole afternoon, in the evening, Su Can came to inform Ye Shaolong that all the things had been moved to Yejiazhuang.
After Ye Shaolong learned about it, he said goodbye to Peter, who had been with him for an afternoon, and went back to Yejiazhuang!
