Cliffordshire.

Golden Island.

"Master, according to the time calculation, the cargo ship will come back tomorrow, do you think that this time we will still sell it like before?"

Settle down.

An Changfu, the head of the An family, was listening to the report of his subordinates.

After listening, he put the teacup in his hand on the table next to him, and after gently tapping his fingers twice rhythmically on the table, he ordered:

"Nope! It can't be sold according to the previous arrangement, we have already given so many discounts to the Chen family before, and they still dare to suppress our price, since this is the case, let them suffer a loss.

cut the goods originally set for the Chen family to 30% to 20%, and gave an extra 10% to the Wang family.

We want them to know that they are asking us to settle down and take our goods, not us to settle down and beg them! ”

"Understood!"

The subordinate nodded, and was about to leave, but was left behind by An Changfu and asked, "There have been no accidents recently, right?" ”

The subordinate shook his head: "Master, everything is as usual, nothing happened." ”

"That's good."

An Changfu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know why he had been feeling his heart going up and down recently, and a feeling of uneasiness frequently hit his heart.

Now that he heard that business was going on as usual, he just thought about it too much.

At the same time, in the entire southeast coastal counties, many maritime merchants are preparing for the day when the cargo ships return to port.

The sea is stormy, and the best way to go to sea is to ride the monsoon, so that you can reach your destination as quickly as possible, and the same is true when you come back.

Therefore, there are a number of fixed days to return to Hong Kong every year.

Now many of them are involved in smuggling, which means that in addition to arranging for the normal return of goods to Hong Kong, they also have to arrange for the return of goods to Hong Kong on the smuggling side.

As a result, families are unusually busy during this time.

However, while many maritime merchants were preparing for the day of their return to Hong Kong, they did not know that their secret business was already on the verge of danger.

Xingwu four years, May 31.

Tomorrow is the day when the ships that have gone to sea will begin to return to port, and the people who have arranged for the reception of the various maritime merchants in the ports have already waited here early.

And just as everything was in order, smuggling ports like Taepo Mountain in several coastal counties were also making preparations to pick up ships.

"Dick! Dick! Where did the death go! ”

"Yes! Here it is! Over here! I'm here! ”

On the smuggling port behind Taipo Mountain, Wang Liu, who was patrolling, shouted angrily.

In the cargo stacking area not far away, the voice of his younger brother Wang Xiaoer hurriedly responded.

Originally, he was patrolling well, but Wang Liu suddenly found that his younger brother who had been following him was gone, and he knew that this guy was lazy and lazy, so he immediately thought that this kid was lazy again, so he hurriedly called.

After getting a response, Wang Liu immediately ran towards Wang Xiaoer's position in a hurry, and scolded while running:

"You usually don't care if you're lazy, do you know that these two days are the days when the cargo ship returns to port, and the above has been instructed to strengthen patrols in these days.

Do you know that if anyone else finds out about your behavior, I won't be able to protect you!

Do you know how deep the water is in this place?

Once you are abandoned, you can't even save your life!

……”

Wang Liuxu came to Wang Xiaoer's side in a chatter, and just when he got closer, he found that this kid was hiding here and lifting his pants, and a smell of urine suddenly hit, and his brows wrinkled and took two steps back.

At this time, Wang Xiaoer, who was wearing a trouser belt on one side, hurriedly piled up a hippie smile and said:

"Brother! Don't be angry, don't I have three urgency? You can rest assured, now that the three emergencies have been solved, you will definitely not be left behind! ”

Wang Xiaoer patted his chest and reassured.

Wang Liu snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Lazy people have a lot of and pee! ”

After saying that, he turned around and continued to patrol according to the established route, and Wang Xiaoer also hurriedly followed.

Patrols such as the Wang brothers have more than 100 groups in the current Taiposhan Private Port, and are conducting thorough patrols along the entire private port to eliminate all risks.

During the period when the cargo ship returned to the port, it was also the time when the private port was the most heavily defended, and the patrol team of two or three hundred people patrolled day and night to ensure the smooth return of the cargo ship to the port.

Following.

The morning sun is rising, the fiery red sun slowly rises from the sea level, and the warm sunlight dispels the mist on the sea surface, so that everything on the sea surface clearly appears in front of everyone's eyes.

The sea breeze blows the hair of everyone on the shore and flies backwards, and the smell of salty sea water makes people feel good.

The pick-up staff from various families in the private port all looked at the sea level eagerly, expecting their merchant ships to come back soon.

I don't know if their sincerity moved the heavens, after a while, the vast sea level appeared one after another, and after a while, the empty sea level was covered with dense black shadows, and it was gradually approaching.

"The ship is back!"

I don't know who was the first to shout, and the others immediately cheered.

Start preparing for the pick-up.

Soon, the merchant ship that was still in sight finally slowly docked in the harbor and lowered its gunwales, and the laborers who had been waiting here for a long time hurriedly boarded the ship to unload the cargo and carried the bags of goods onto the prepared car.

In about an hour, a ship can be unloaded.

The private port of Taipo Mountain is not large, and it can only be used for five ships to unload cargo at one time.

But there were more than five merchant ships coming back, and by the time the first one was unloaded, there were already more than 20 merchant ships waiting in line at the back.

Soon the merchant ships that had finished unloading quickly left the port of discharge and anchored at a berthing point on the side.

The next batch was quickly added.

The whole port began to be busy in an orderly manner, while at the same time, the private ports in other places were in front of them, and they were very busy.

And just as they were busy, around the many private ports, a group of garrisons had quietly surrounded them.

In the waters outside the private harbor, dozens of warships of the East China Sea Fleet happened to pass by the periphery of this place as if they were patrolling regularly, and kept approaching.

Bang!

A box of spices was placed heavily on the ground, and the laborer Liu hurriedly reached out and wiped his forehead, shook out a handful of sweat, and gasped heavily:

"What the hell, there are more and more goods here every time, and even half of them haven't been unloaded yet."

On the side, with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, worker Hong Datou also moved a box of goods over and said with a smile:

"Isn't that good?

Move more, you can also make more money, your sons are almost old, and they are about to go to school, so the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the school don't need money? If you don't make more money, where does that little doll have the money to study? Don't you want to wait for him to grow up and be a lifelong laborer like you? ”

Liu Xian was speechless for a while, thinking of his little leather monkey, the exhaustion of his body seemed to have disappeared suddenly, wiped the sweat with the towel on his shoulder, and then walked towards the boat again.

I have to continue to do it, Hong Datou is right, my rabbit cub can't sell a lifetime of hard labor like his Lao Tzu, let me eat the hardship, he doesn't have to suffer!

With a firm belief, Liu Busy continued to work.

The accounting room, which was counting on the side, was reporting the current situation to the steward sent by the master's family.

"Steward An, at present, Anjia's ship has been unloaded three, and one more can be unloaded, according to the current situation, the goods transported back this time are at least about 20% more than last time, it seems that the master has arranged many normal customs clearance goods on these four ships."

The person who was called the security manager nodded from time to time when he listened to the report of the account room, but when he heard his speculation, his brows were furrowed, and his tone was dissatisfied: "This is not something you should take care of, keep your accounts!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The bookkeeper knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he hurriedly shut up.

However, just as everything was going well, dozens of black dots suddenly appeared on the sea level in the distance.

When the black dots approached, the person who had inadvertently looked up was shocked when he saw the true face of the black dots.

In the next moment, a frightened scream suddenly sounded!

"Oh no! It's a warship of the Navy!

It's been found here! Run!! ”
