Chang Sheng only felt that his whole body was cold, he participated in this errand from the end to the end, he was the one who came to Dinghai to find out, and he was the one who accompanied Huo San to buy goods, and now he is still the one who is responsible for moving goods and finding cars!

If the second master knew that this product was so bad that it couldn't be worse, Huo San would definitely immediately put the blame on him, and he was just a subordinate who sold himself, the Huo family beat him to death, and being held accountable by the yamen was just a fine of a few taels of silver, not to mention that no one would report to the official.

When the guy saw Chang Sheng stunned, he thought that this batch of goods was his, and he couldn't help but feel a little more compassion in his heart, and said to him: "Brother, where did you buy this goods?" Can you still find someone to sell your goods? ”

Chang Sheng was like an initiation, and his brain became clear, and he said busily: "It's two fishermen from Dinghai who went to Hangzhou to find buyers, by the way, I have been to their fishing village." ”

The guy laughed out loud, and when he saw Chang Sheng's bitter gourd-like face, he suppressed his smile again: "Brother, half of the fishermen in Dinghai have never left the island in their lives, and when they go out of the island, they go around Ningbo City to buy some rice and grain, how can they go to Hangzhou City to find buyers?" ”

Yes, they had been to a fishing village, and in retrospect, the people in that fishing village were too welcoming and shrewd.

Chang Sheng didn't know how he got out of the shop, and he walked towards the dock with heavy steps, each step as if he had stepped on the edge of a knife.

How is he going to explain to the second master, how is he going to get rid of himself?

How did the second master know about those two fishermen? Yes, it's the You family, the first thing those two people found was the You family, and it was the You family who wanted to deceive, but the You family told the Huo family the news, did the You family see through the scam? Or are the You family in league with those two liars?

Thinking of this, Chang Sheng's heart finally eased up, even if the two fishermen ran away, there was still the You family, as long as this matter was pushed to the You family, his dog life might be saved.

Chang Sheng was still thinking about it, and Huo Roufeng had returned to the inn.

Zhang Shengping and Huang Ling all breathed a sigh of relief, the Ninth Master is becoming more and more sensible, it's good like this, if there is anything left to them, the Ninth Master just eats and drinks in the inn, so as not to let Huo San see it.

Zhang Shengping sent two people to keep an eye on Huo San and Chang Sheng, and he was about to go to the kitchen to see it in person, when he heard the ninth master call him: "Old Zhang, I may have been fooled." ”

Zhang Shengping was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Ninth Master, who dares to lie to you?" ”

Huo Roufeng scratched the small bun on her head: "No one lied to me, I deceived myself, hehe, I thought a little too much, blame me." ”

This is headless and brainless, Zhang Shengping had no choice but not to hear it.

Huo Roufeng felt that she was in a cup, those three people had a background, if she really wanted to tie her up, she would not follow her to Ningbo and still fight.

Alas, what a ...... myself

Huo Roufeng didn't know what she really was, in short, she became more and more curious about these three people.

I'm not here to tie her up, I'm here for what?

And pretend to be a coolie on the docks?

He rode a war horse and pretended to be a coolie on the docks...... Could it be that it has something to do with this batch of grain and grass in Ningbo Wei?

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, you go and inquire, how is the matter of Ningbo Wei selling military rations, why did you unload the ship today?"

The eldest lady said that the lives of them and their families belong to the ninth master, and the ninth master's orders cannot be disobeyed.

Zhang Shengping took the order and returned in the evening.

"Ninth Master, this news is not difficult to inquire, the little one didn't take much effort to inquire, it turned out that someone found that the batch of military rations that Ningbo Wei had just arrived in was the Jiaxing rice that had been robbed by the bandits before."

"What?" Huo Roufeng was taken aback, and asked again, "Who found out?" How can you recognize it? Ningbo Wei didn't kill that person? ”

Zhang Shengping said: "Ningbo Wei's military food is transported from Fujian, Fujian's military food is sent by the Ministry of War, these rice from all over the country, will not all be Jiaxing rice, and Ningbo Wei just arrived these military food, but all are Jiaxing rice, not only that, maybe the time is in a hurry, too late to replace all, some military food is still Jiaxing rice bags." ”

Ningbo and nearby counties, for many years are mainly Jiaxing rice, the people are most familiar with Jiaxing rice, just look at the shape and color of the rice grains can be distinguished, not to mention the rice bags of Jiaxing rice line.

The military rations came from Cao rice, and how could Cao rice be packed in the rice bags of ordinary rice banks.

Huo Roufeng has lived for two lives, and her fingers are not touching the spring water, but she grew up in a merchant's house, and she knows more or less about the things of the grain, Zhang Shengping said that she understood, tilted her little head and thought about it, and asked Zhang Shengping: "It was found by the coolies who moved the goods, and then it was passed on to ten, ten to hundred, and the coolies on the dock all knew, and because of the fact that Ningbo Wei sold military rations privately, all the shops in the city were closed, and the situation was on the verge of breaking out. And because all the coolies on the wharf know, Ningbo Wei can't kill all the people, so they have to temporarily not pay them off, for the sake of money, these people don't dare to make too many times, as long as there is a day and a half, Ningbo Wei people come up with an emergency method, and they will be safe. ”

Zhang Shengping was taken aback, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard these words with his own ears, it came from Huo Roufeng's mouth, he wouldn't have believed it.

It's true, last night Jiu Ye obediently slept in the inn and didn't go to the dock, how did he know?

"Ninth Master, how did you know?" He asked, slurkingly.

Huo Roufeng wrinkled her good-looking little nose: "Guess." ”

Guess?

Zhang Shengping wiped a handful of sweat beads oozing from his head, the ninth master is really smart, although he is not the master's biological flesh and blood, but this smart is exactly the same as the eldest lady of the year, and in another three years and five years, the ninth master will follow the eldest lady to learn the things that the students want, and there are successors to the Yongfeng.

"Ninth Master, you are right, it is true, now those coolies are still trapped on the dock and can't leave, but fortunately, there is a lot of work on the dock, and they also have money to make. By the way, the person sent to keep an eye on the person came back, saying that the third master's goods had been loaded into the car, and there were ten big cars, and they would be on the road early tomorrow morning. ”

Huo Roufeng's mind came up with those three people pretending to be coolies, did this matter have anything to do with them? Or is it related to the Taiping?

It's a pity that Huo San will leave Ningbo tomorrow, and according to the original plan, they will follow Huo San back.

But at this time, there was an undercurrent in Ningbo City, and she was really interested.

If she didn't come out for a walk, she thought that the world would be like singing and dancing in Hangzhou, but it had already reached the point where soldiers and bandits were treacherous, officials and businessmen were in trouble, and they were competing with the people for profit.
