Chapter 84 Li Zhong went to sell the stolen goods

Hangzhou!

People say that there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou, this sentence is not false at all, Hangzhou can be described as an authentic paradise on earth. Jiangnan talents will be here, and the stories of talented and beautiful women are countless, and the beauties of Hangzhou are the best in the world, but Xiao Yi has never been there, so he dare not say anything.

Hangzhou is also a coastal city, but the seaside is rarely visited, those talented and beautiful people like to run to the West Lake, to the beach, not some smuggling merchants, or those fishermen who rely on the water to draft water.

But today's Hangzhou seaside is different, it is a sea of people, and colorful flags are fluttering. The high-ranking officials of Zhejiang Province have gathered here, from the governor, the political envoy, and the inspection envoy, to the Hangzhou prefect, the same knowledge, the general judge, and the officials. As for the guards and differences, there are countless of them.

There is a pergola on the seaside, and under the pergola, officials sit according to their ranks, drink tea and chat, but from time to time they look at the sea, as if they are waiting for someone.

The people who can make so many high-ranking officials wait here, naturally the official can't be small, otherwise, how could the governor personally come here to greet him.

Yes, the person who came to Hangzhou was indeed not a petty official, but a dignified governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Lord Yue Suyue.

Since Lord Yue is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, he can't stay in Fujian, Zhejiang is also under his jurisdiction, and Fujian's affairs have come to an end for the time being, and this time he has to come to Zhejiang to do business.

At this time, the soldiers standing guard on the beach shouted: "Coming, coming......"

Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, the governor and the envoy hurriedly stood up, pergola, and looked at the shoreline. Sure enough, the shadows of ships appeared on the coastline, and gradually, the shadows became clearer and clearer, and it could be seen that there were hundreds of warships heading towards the shore.

Going out with a hundred warships, it can be said that the lineup is not strong, watching the fleet getting closer and closer, these officials naturally couldn't sit anymore, stood up one by one, and went to the beach to greet them.

Finally, a warship arrived on the shore, and the warship was bigger than the other, and although the gang had seen many large ships, they had never seen this formation. Lord Yue really lives up to his name.

One by one, the ships docked, the planks were lowered, and people began to land. The first to come down were Jin Chan and Yin Zhu, and the two of them led the guards to open the way, followed by Yue Su, Youjian, Zheng Zhilong, Tong Xuan, Tie Qiu and a group of people. The female dependents or something, but they are also in the same boat as Lord Yue, but they can't come down until the end.

Today, Lord Yue, wearing a black veil on his head, and the official mansion of the immortal crane complementing the son by his side, stands out from the crowd wherever he goes. The officials waiting on the shore, don't look at the appearance of Lord Yue, but as soon as you see this official mansion, you will know who it is. They all rushed to the front, stood up according to their ranks, and bowed to salute, "Your Excellency will see the Governor." ”

The governor and governor are all in charge of the soldiers on the horse and the people on the horse, so the civil officials are called lords when they see them, and the military generals are called marshals when they see them.

"Your Excellency, excuse me." Yue Su said aloud with his hands flat and majestically. Then, after glancing at the officials, he said: "This hot day has made you wait here for a long time, and the governor is really sorry not to go." ”

"Your Excellency, this is what we should do. The reputation of adults is powerful all over the world, and it is really a blessing for my generation to see the face of adults. ....... officials said one after another.

For such a welcoming scene, Yue Su is now commonplace, and he doesn't take it seriously at all. After greetings, the team of people and horses all got off the boat, and followed Yue Su to Hangzhou, there were more than 7,000 people, except for the guards, they were sailors.

Yue Su asked the guards to accompany him, and Kong Youde followed along, and together they advanced to Yuhang, the nearest county seat, and went there to rest for a day, and then went to Hangzhou tomorrow. The sailor is on standby, led by the insight. For the soldiers of the Navy Division, Yue Su was also considered to have weighed it before leaving, Zheng Zhilong's subordinates brought 2,500, and the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division brought 2,500 in the past, and the two armies participated together, so as not to let Zheng Zhilong dominate and make Youjian lose his right to speak.

Without further ado, in the evening, everyone arrived in Yuhang. The Yuhang County Commander had already prepared a banquet for the governor. Don't look at the host, at the main table, it is not his turn to sit with him. Those who can share a table with Yue Su have the lowest level, and they have to be the prefect of Hangzhou, the level of a military general, at least a deputy general.

The current Zhejiang commander-in-chief Pei Xuan has not yet arrived, and it will take a few more days to arrive in Hangzhou, but even if he does, he will only see Yue Dashuai.

The news of Lord Yue's arrival in Zhejiang naturally spread throughout Hangzhou quickly, and within a few days, it spread throughout Zhejiang. For the arrival of Lord Yue, the poor people were very happy, and those who had grievances were even more overjoyed, ready to go to the governor's yamen to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and go to the lawsuit. And those local tyrants and inferior gentry are frightened, the reputation of 'Yue Shaving' has already spread all over the country, and today it is really coming, who is not afraid of it, there is that timid, and they moved away a few days ago.

On the same day that Lord Yue landed, a group of people came to Hangzhou City, and these people were dressed in a serious way, but if you look closely, anyone can see that these people are men in the green forest.

More than 30 people drove two mule carts, each with four large boxes. After they entered the city, they rushed straight to a goods store named Tang Ji. These people seem to be familiar with the path of Hangzhou, they don't need to ask people, and they don't go through the wrong road, and they arrive directly in front of Tang Ji Cargo Store.

Among the men, the few people led by them turned out to be familiar faces. The one in the middle is Li Zhong, but it seems that he deliberately pasted a handful of beards, which makes him look more powerful. Next to him were Kong Jian and Cao Yu, and behind him was Chen Dong.

When he came to the door of the cargo store, Li Zhong asked the other men to look at the goods, and only walked in with Kong Jian, Cao Yu, and Chen Dong. The guy from the cargo store, as soon as he saw a guest coming to the door, immediately greeted him, "Four masters, I don't know if you are buying goods or coming to release the goods." ”

"We're here to release the goods, so let's ask your shopkeeper to come out and see what price we can sell for the goods in our hands." Chen Dong stood up and said loudly.

The other three are all in the green forest, and they are not proficient in doing business, only Chen Dong, who used to work in the Li family rice shop, ran through the hall, and understands a little. Coupled with the experience of going south and north over the years, people are much more sleek.

Tang Ji Goods Bank is a big goods store, and the guys are all the kind of people who have the ability to see the price, and when they look at Li Zhong and others, they know that they are not serious businessmen, and they are afraid that the underworld has no capital to trade. For these people, Tang Ji Goods Company also prefers to receive them, because the stolen goods are cheaper than the genuine goods on the market. The man agreed and said, "Fourth master, please wait a moment, the little one will go in and ask my shopkeeper to come out." ”

After saying that, the guy ran towards the back hall, and after a short time, accompanied a middle-aged man in his forties to the front hall.

After the young man came out, he first looked at Li Zhong and the others, and then smiled and said, "I'm really sorry for making a few masters wait for a long time." I don't know how many masters came out of the contemptible people, what is the matter? ”

"What else can I do, naturally I have goods to sell, so I want you to give a price." Chen Dong said deliberately grinning.

The young man had long seen that among the four people, the leader was the bearded man in the middle, and even the other two men, whose status was higher than that of this white-faced young man. But when it came to him to speak, it was obvious that the other three knew that they were too rude to talk about business. But he didn't expect that this white-faced kid looked more gentle, but he opened his mouth the same. The people in the green forest are the people in the green forest, and if you have been with the coarse people for a long time, what kind of people will become coarse. But what he didn't know was that the reason why Chen Dong spoke like this was on purpose.

"It turned out to be a release, I don't know what the goods are, can you give the contemptible people a look first, and then we will negotiate the price." The shopkeeper said.

"Of course the goods are good goods, but I don't know, how are your eyesight." Chen Dong turned around and shouted loudly outside: "Come on, bring in a box of goods first, and show it to the shopkeeper!" ”

The voice settled, and in a moment, four more men carried it into a large box. The box was tied with hemp rope, and a man untied the rope with all hands and feet, and opened the lid without command. "Brush!"

As soon as the goods turned white, there was a brilliance. It turned out that this box contained nothing else, but some crystal clear gemstones. There are many gemstones, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as colorful and dazzling.

Such a box of gems, if others see it, it is estimated that they will not be able to close their mouths, and the eyeballs may fall to the ground. However, this shopkeeper, the god is still flat, and there is no surprise in his eyes, as if it is commonplace. He said flatly: "It turns out that the gems were shipped from India, and they are in good condition, how many do you have in the car, and what price do you plan to ask for?" ”

"There is only one box of gemstones, and in the other seven boxes, there are two boxes of spices and five boxes of coral." Chen Dong said with a grin.

"Oh......" The shopkeeper nodded, and said flatly: "Just such a few things, let's move in, you can rest assured, looking at Hangzhou, there is no goods store that will be higher than the price given by our Tang Ji goods store." ”

"Since the shopkeeper is so cheerful, if our brothers are not cheerful, will we not be underestimated. Someone! Bring it all in! This time, it was Li Zhong who shouted.

His voice was very loud, and then the man outside brought in all the remaining seven boxes of goods. Then open it all and get out what's inside.

Needless to say, the spices, but the corals, one by one, are beautiful, and they must be in good condition, and they must be large and small.

These corals, if they were placed in the eyes of ordinary merchants, would not be drooling, but the shopkeeper still said as if nothing was wrong: "It's not bad, all your goods are added together, can you make a price?" ”

"One hundred thousand taels! I guess the price isn't too much. Chen Dong said loudly.

"10,000 taels, it is estimated that there is no such price in the entire city of Hangzhou. The big guy tacitly agreed, I'll give you six thousand taels, which is the highest price. The shopkeeper said calmly.

These goods, normally speaking, are put on the market, and a single coral is worth a few hundred taels, not to mention the box of gems, all added together, there is no problem with fifteen to twenty thousand taels. It is normal for merchants to collect stolen goods and lower prices, but it is also divided into whether they are customers or not, Li Zhong and they came to sell stolen goods for the first time, and the shopkeeper naturally had to bargain fiercely. In the whole city of Hangzhou, it is basically the same.
