The boat went down the current, and Zhang Mu secretly analyzed in his heart.

It is estimated that not all the people who smuggle seafood have the power of the Wen family, and they can buy this health office and blatantly smuggle large quantities.

In order to survive, some farmers naturally need to take risks, and those who make small fights also need a place to go to sea.

And this sand garden has slowly become such a place.

They didn't have the same financial resources as the Wen family, so they got some back through fishing boats and sold the stolen goods on the spot in the sand garden, while the inland merchants sold them directly here.

Naturally, the price here is cheaper than the price in Wenzhou, as long as there is a profit, someone will do it.

Unconsciously, Zhang Mu gradually saw the sand garden.

The sand garden is built not far from the sea, and the scale seems to be not small.

After all, it used to be a thousand-house house.

The army of the Ming Dynasty was divided into Wei and Suo. There were about 5,000 people in one house, and it was divided into five thousand households, and each of them had about 1,000 people.

There are several 100 households, and there are about 100 people in one hundred households.

Facing the sea here, it is also the throat of Ruian, so when Tang He arranged the coastal defense, he established a thousand households here as a frontier position to resist the Japanese invaders.

In this way, Ryan can be safe and sound.

It's just that now Zhang Mu looked at it and was really taken aback.

In front of the sand garden, there was hardly any shadow of officers and soldiers, and what could be seen was that the ships on the wharf were densely packed with white sails like a forest, which was not spectacular.

When Zhang Mu arrived in the Ming Dynasty, to be honest, he had never seen so many ships.

The appearance of those boats was also different, and Zhang Mu even found that the Hachiman boat with the Japanese was blatantly parked on the dock.

At this moment, the wharf is busy, with countless men going up and down from the sampan, all kinds of goods and horses. Continuous flow.

It is like an important port for import and export.

The sand garden behind the pier is even more lively.

Before Zhang Mu got off the boat, he could hear the noise inside.

When Zhang Mugang got off the boat, he found that the original sand garden had long since ceased to exist.

The wall surrounding the sand garden was a long street outside.

On the street, there were crowds of people, rubbing shoulders, and Zhang Mu even saw Persians inside.

Han Fangshan didn't expect it to be the scene in front of him, and he and Zhang Mu looked at each other dumbfounded, signaling Zhang Mu to be careful.

Zhang Mu simply pressed down on the hat he was carrying. He took Han Fangshan into the street.

Perhaps because it was a guard house for officers and soldiers, no official buildings were built here.

Most of them are stalls, some driving horse-drawn carts, some leading donkeys, around the tall walls of the sand garden, doing business on the spot.

There is a lot of seafood here, and almost everything that can be smuggled can be seen here.

And the price is very cheap, wandering the street. Most of the distribution is the people of the interior.

Zhang Mu happened to pass by a tea shed, and even heard a northern accent inside, it seems that some people come from thousands of miles to buy here. Sure enough, there is already some weather.

After going around outside, he didn't see any clues from the Wen family, and it was very noisy, and Han Fangshan could only follow Zhang Mu closely.

This time. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the east, and the people in the streets immediately headed for that direction.

Zhang Mu was curious, so he followed. I saw seven or eight young Persian girls standing in a big carriage.

They all had sad faces, with chains, and a middle-aged man in his forties was openly selling there.

Seeing this, it really opened Zhang Mu's eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Mu turned back by chance and saw that it was also very prosperous in the sand garden, so he gave Han Fangshan a look, and the group of them walked in with a swagger.

After entering the sand garden, Zhang Mu found that compared with the outside, it was nothing compared to the inside.

As a thousand-household house, the Sand Garden has many houses, and all the houses in the house are occupied by various merchants.

Zhang Mu never dreamed that the merchants were all in the inner courtyard.

Moreover, most of the shops in the inner courtyard are very lively.

Zhang Mu was inside, and he didn't see the shadow of a single officer or soldier.

It's like it's a free market, and it's still a health center?

Compared with the shops inside, the things bought were more exquisite, not only that, Zhang Mu saw dozens of Japanese robbers swaggering in the crowd.

Walked straight to one of the shops.

The shops sold not only seafood, but also inland goods such as grain, tea, silk, and even porcelain.

It's like a trading port.

Seafood comes in from outside, and things from the interior go out from here, so it's no wonder that the officers and men here are able to get rich and flow oil.

What the customs did, they did it, that is, they had cramps in their hands when they counted the money for taxes.

Han Fangshan muttered in a low voice: "Damn, I knew that Lao Tzu would also come to do this business." ”

Zhang Mu looked at the scene in front of him and said coldly: "This place has become like this, if the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang doesn't know, I think it's impossible." Wang Ming is really not an ordinary person. ”

"Maybe the Wen family didn't find it, but they found other evidence, which is not bad." Han Fangshan said with a smile.

While the two of them were talking, Zhang Mu saw a fat man, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly hid.

That fat man is none other than the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Ethereal.

Zhang Mu only thought that he was dead, but he didn't expect to see him here.

Sure enough, the old saying was fulfilled, it's not that enemies don't get together.

Zhang Mu didn't know why the ethereal spirit appeared here, but he subconsciously felt that it was still not safe here, so he said to Han Fangshan: "Let's go." ”

No sooner had they turned than a carriage passed in front of them.

Zhang Mu didn't see it, and was almost hit by the carriage, and the coachman who drove the car shouted angrily: "No one's children are looking at it." What should I do if I am hit by a horse? ”

As soon as Han Fangshan was about to have a seizure, Zhang Mu grabbed him and hurriedly apologized.

The coachman didn't bother to pay attention to him, and drove on.

Han Fangshan and Zhang Mu immediately glanced at each other, and their eyes showed joy.

"It's the clothes."

Zhang Mu nodded and said, "It's not wrong, it's the clothes worn by the Wen family." ”

"My lord, this is a blessing to the sky, and I admire it."

"It takes no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them. Hurry up, don't let him go. After Zhang Mu finished speaking, he followed up.

Yesterday, the Wen family was raided, and the servants of the Wen family, who had a certain level, were all wearing green clothes and hats.

There is nothing to do, the key thing is that the placket of the Wen family's servant's Tsing Yi hat is embroidered with the word Wen.

The coachman just now was wearing the clothes of a servant of the Wen family, and that person was definitely a member of the Wen family.

And what is sitting in the carriage is an important clue. (To be continued......)
