Zhang Hongde's exclamation confused everyone.

The son surnamed Qian asked, "What does Brother Zhang mean by this?" ”

Zhang Hongde said to everyone with a little shame: "Don't hide it from you, my little brother went to Chang'an this time, but I lost face in Lingnan." ”

"Please also ask Brother Zhang to explain in detail, so that I can know the reason." One of them spoke.

After hearing this, Zhang Hongde sighed and told in detail about the fine he and others were fined on the night of the first day.

After hearing this, Guan Xiaosi couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that there are so many rules in Chang'an City.

If we go rashly, I'm afraid that we will make a lot of mistakes. ”

Zhang Hongde obviously didn't want to continue the topic that made him feel ashamed.

So he opened the bottle of wine on the table and said to the people, "Don't dwell on these unpleasant things.

I'll wait until today to have a good taste of this fruit wine worth more than 1,000 yuan. ”

As he moved, everyone's attention was quickly drawn to the bottle of fruit wine.

Zhang Hongde poured a cup for everyone and said, "The little brother is fortunate to have seen the prosperity of Chang'an City.

Fang knows how shallow his previous knowledge was.

Today, I wish you all the best with the wine in the cup and the prosperity of the world in the future. ”

When they heard this, they thanked each other, and then drank the wine in their cups.

The son surnamed Qian spoke: "My father had the honor to accompany Governor Xie Changxing to the city of Guangzhou to meet Lord Duan Zhixuan.

At that time, he talked about the prosperity of Guangzhou City many times.

Originally, I thought that the big cities in the world should all be like Guangzhou City.

However, after listening to Brother Zhang's introduction today, I realized that I really didn't know anything about the prosperity of this world. ”

When the others heard this, they all fell silent.

It was only after a few years that Guan Xiaosi recovered first.

I only heard him say to the son surnamed Qian: "There is the cooperation of the county magistrate and my father, and the support of Xie Dudu.

Sooner or later, our family will become a rich family, and where in the world will I not be able to go at that time? ”

After hearing this, the son surnamed Qian laughed and said: "What Brother Guan said is reasonable, my father's business has become bigger and bigger.

If this continues, why should I not have the opportunity to see the prosperity of the world? ”

While everyone was talking about this, they didn't know that at this time, the woodcutter of the Baiqi Division, who was in charge of investigating Zhang Hongde, was secretly following Zhang Hongde's father.

Zhang Hongde's father was taking over several truckloads of goods from another person outside Xuanhua County at this time.

The handover location of the two sides was chosen very remotely, as if they were afraid that others would see it.

However, when the two sides officially unpacked and inspected the goods, they had no idea that their every move had fallen into the eyes of the Hundred Cavalry Secret Agents.

The woodcutter, who was hiding in the distance, soon discovered through his telescope that the goods they were trading were all imports.

Even the quality of some goods is difficult to see in Chang'an City.

At this time, the two were communicating something while inspecting the goods, but unfortunately the woodcutter was too far away from the two to hear at this time.

It didn't take long for all the goods to be reconciled.

Zhang Hongde's father turned around and took two large handbags from the carriage he was riding.

The woodcutter could tell at a glance that this was a high-end travel bag sold in a clothing store under Li Zhi's name.

I saw Zhang Hongde's father directly throw a travel bag on one of the other party's carriages.

And he himself opened another travel bag and took the money from the inside.

The other party didn't seem to be worried at all that Zhang Hongde's father would deceive him.

So he didn't pay any attention to the travel bag that was placed in the wagon.

His eyes were always on the banknotes that Zhang Hongde's father had taken out of his bag.

When Zhang's father stopped, he immediately packed the banknotes that had been placed outside into a backpack.

The woodcutter, hiding in the distance, could not accurately estimate how much money could fit in a travel bag.

But he could see through the binoculars that Zhang Hongde's father had taken out a total of fifty bundles of hundred-yuan bills from his bag.

The amount of the deal shocked the woodcutter.

He was shocked not that the transaction was too much, but that he felt that it was too little.

Ten carriages were loaded with jewels, jade, rhino horn and ivory, as well as various spices and handicrafts.

If these goods are sold in Chang'an City, they can be sold for at least six or seven million.

However, the price of the transaction between the two is definitely not up to this amount.

Even according to the woodcutter's estimate, it is half the price.

Zhang Hongde's father was able to get the goods at such a cheap price, so his selling price would definitely not be too high.

As a result, once these goods enter the market, they will definitely have an impact on the prices of similar goods.

"There's something wrong with where these goods come from." The woodcutter's mind immediately came to this conclusion.

By this time, the transaction between the two parties had been officially completed, and the two quickly parted ways after a hurried farewell.

After hesitating, the woodcutter decided to continue to follow Zhang Hongde's father.

He had to sort out the clues on this side before thinking about his next move.

Zhang Hongde, who got the goods, did not return to the county directly.

He first unloaded the goods with a few of his men into a hidden warehouse outside the city.

Then he ordered someone to return to the city to inform the other partners, and he sat there and drank tea leisurely.

At this time, Zhang Hongde's father didn't even bother to look at the pile of expensive goods placed next to him.

It seems that these have long been commonplace.

The woodcutter had already gone around to the back of the warehouse while the other party was busy carrying the goods.

The back of this storeroom is a small river, and the distance between the river bank and the storehouse is only two or three meters.

In addition, the river bank was full of mud, so the only way to pass was a passage less than two feet wide.

In order to avoid being caught in the back, the woodcutter climbed directly onto the roof of the storeroom.

In order to be able to observe the situation inside, he also carefully uncovered two roof tiles.

In order to prevent the outside sun from shining through the roof into the storehouse, the woodcutter had to cover himself with his own clothes and stick tightly to the roof.

After a long wait, several waves of guests finally arrived in the storeroom.

Zhang Hongde's father began to chat with these people.

Until the last person arrived in a hurry, he hugged his fists and said to everyone: "Brothers, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Guan went out to run errands today and came back a little late, which delayed everyone's transaction. ”

"Brother Guan doesn't need to be polite, I just arrived not long ago." Someone clasped their fists and saluted back.

Seeing that the person had arrived, Qi Zhang Hongde's father got up and said, "Before today's transaction, Zhang still has something to announce.

This is not a good thing for us and others, and I hope you will be prepared. ”
