"How is it, is there a problem with the goods?" said Hu Fei, who ran over with Chenbai.

Chen Bai made an appointment with the smuggling party to trade at the wharf near Jiangcheng at the outskirts of Jiangcheng, and after letting Qi Hong step on it in advance, he took Hu Fei and the Baishi brothers to the wharf to inspect the goods.

Both sides of the pier were brightly lit by torches raised by the Jiang Gang's No. 100 people.

Hu Fei pulled Chen Bai to the side and whispered: "No problem, helper, we are going to send it, the ore of the two big ships, other jade, medicinal herbs, exquisite Shu embroidery and other miscellaneous goods that are not worried about the market, incense, etc., add up to the four big ships." ”

Chen Bai also snickered at this, "Look at your little bit of interest, poor and sour." ”

Seeing someone coming over, Chen Bai elbowed Hu Fei, and Hu Fei immediately said with a serious expression: "Back to the helper, the goods are confirmed." ”

"How about the Chen Gang Master, you have seen the sincerity of my king, and the goods have been confirmed by your subordinates, I don't know where your payment is. "The man who spoke to Chen Bai was a man dressed as a businessman, wearing a flat hat and a mustache, followed by two retinues.

However, Chen Bai, who has been in the market since he was a child, looked at Boss Wang's dress a little awkwardly, and it can be seen from this person's breathing and footwork that he is also a martial artist, without the kind of philistine atmosphere of a businessman. It is speculated that all these people are fake, except for the goods on the ship, which are real. Of course, everyone is just seeking money, and Chen Bai has not broken it. Whoever does these gray things, who can have a clean ass, no good bird.

"Don't worry, my 200,000 taels of gold is not much, but it is not a lot. Chen Bai took Boss Wang to the shore of the dock.

Hu Fei took a few steps to the shore of the pier and whistled a long shrill whistle in the middle of the dark river.

I saw that the ship's lights were lit up not far away, and it was slowly sailing towards the dock, and Boss Wang, who was talking to Chenbai, looked at the draft of the boat and nodded with satisfaction.

After a while, the boat leaned against the shore, and Qi Hong jumped down and clenched his fists with both hands: "Helper, the payment is inside." ”

Chen Bai nodded, "Lead the way for Boss Wang and take inventory." ”

"Yes!" Qi Hong pointed to the cabin with one hand, "Boss Wang, please." ”

Boss Wang didn't move, the two entourages went in first and looked at it, signaling that there was no problem, and Boss Wang confessed a "faux pas" before walking to the cabin.

Most of the people who walk the rivers and lakes are like this, especially these shady transactions, both sides must be on guard, black eating black things often happen, so be careful and careful to prevent in case, the money is gone, you can earn it again, and you can't come back if your life is gone.

It was Boss Wang's inconsequential kind words that made Chen Bai sure that these people must be the goods of an official on the Nanshu side in order to fill his own pockets.

In Chenbai's words, everyone is a shady business, you are polite to me, your mother, hurry up and finish the work, in case there is anything, there will be a leak.

There is an unwritten rule on this kind of road that both parties confirm that there is no problem with goods and money, and a nod is a friend, even if the transaction is completed, then ask God and worship Buddha by yourself if there is any basket.

After a while, Boss Wang came out of the cabin with a red face, and he didn't know if he was reflected by the gold that was full of golden light.

"Gang Master Chen, it's really happy, I've made this friend. As he spoke, he hugged Chenbai enthusiastically, thinking that he had really done my master a great favor, and the goods of several ships were really not something that could be cashed out casually.

Chen Bai laughed and said: "Boss Wang is polite, don't we Jiang Gang pay attention to a reputation when doing business, do you think there are still problems here?"

Boss Wang said twice: "No problem, no problem." ”

Then he instructed his attendants, "Go, tell your brothers, deliver the goods and leave." ”

Chen Bai also said to Qi Hong: "Go, let the brothers go home." ”

Immediately after that, all the people on the four boats that Boss Wang came with, and the brothers brought by Qi Hong on Chenbai's side also withdrew.

"Chen Gang Master, there will be a period later. ”

"Boss Wang, there will be a period later, if there are still these things that are not easy to sell in the future, just look for me. ”

"Definitely. ”

And just like that, the bumpy gold trade came to an end.

On the ship, Chen Bai looked at the cargo full of goods and was so happy that he was about to close his mouth.

Qi Hong leaned over and said softly: "Helper, I have arranged for a few brothers to draw the bottom of the golden boat underwater, do we want to do it?"

Chen Bai turned around and asked Hu Fei, "Is it the group that robbed the gold that night?"

Hu Fei shook his head and said, "No, but it is also possible that the robbery of gold was arranged by another group of people, and Wu Wu didn't come to the letter." ”

Chen Bai came back and walked a few steps, thought about it and said to Qi Hong: "Let the brothers withdraw, although I also suspect that the two may be related, but since it is not sure, forget it, maybe there will be a chance next time." ”

"Good. Qi Hong walked to the bow of the boat and lifted the lantern hanging on the bow of the boat, shook it in the opposite direction, made a secret signal, and hung the lantern back in its original place.

On Boss Wang's golden boat, a subordinate came in from outside and whispered a few words into Boss Wang's ear, and Boss Wang's expression relaxed, "Let the brothers come back, since the Jiang Gang didn't do anything, we don't have to make any extraneous branches, after all, it's still on the territory of the Jiang Gang." ”

In a few moments, there were drenched men in black standing on both ships, with short blades resembling jagged teeth in their mouths.

"Hu Fei, these ores will be discussed with the president of the Wantong branch of Jiangzhou City tomorrow, he can't call the shots, so let him ask Liu Ming, just say what I said; those Shu embroideries are all sold to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the favorite of those people is the Yunjin of our Daqian Jinlingwei and the Shu embroidery of Nanshu, and the price is high for me; if you want to use medicinal herbs, you can directly find the Tai Hospital in the capital to be in charge of medical procurement, I heard that the demand for medicinal herbs in the palace has been quite large recently, so you can deal with it in the name of Liufu, and I will say hello to Liu Ming." ”

What Chen Bai said, Hu Fei wrote them down one by one, Chen Bai looked at it again and thought about it, there was no problem, and then said: "As for those jades, I will hand them over to you, Qi Hong, prepare them well, pick a big underground casino to be more magnificent, don't be reluctant to spend money, give me those rich sons, daughters, dignitaries, These rich people of the rich squires were invited to participate in the auction, find a few shopkeepers of antique shops to pick out some fine jade, and spend some money to let some poor and rotten Confucians write some love stories to keep the finale. As for the miscellaneous items, you can use them as small gifts and colorful heads. ”

Chen Bai has already considered these things Xiao Lu, and the rest is easy to talk about the price of the market, and it will not be too different. But these messy jade, it's hard to estimate, some of these things are worth a lot in the eyes of people who like them, but in the eyes of some people, there is no gold and silver ingot.

Therefore, if you want to sell these jade stones at a good price, the only way to use this method may greatly exceed expectations.

After listening to Chen Bai's eloquent talk, Hu Fei and Qi Hong looked at Chen Bai with a demented expression, as if they had seen a ghost, Qi Hong opened his eyes and said: "Helper, high, really high, didn't Young Master Liu teach you!"

Chen Bai kicked over, and said arrogantly: "What is he Liu Ming, labor and management are just a little less start-up capital, otherwise they lie in the pile of money every day." ”

Hu Fei also praised on the side: "Gang leader, you are really a condescending talent to be a gang leader in the rivers and lakes, you are really a household book delayed by the underworld." ”

"Alright, don't be poor. Hurry up and tell the brothers, so that the goods will all be in our own dock warehouse. Send some brothers, and then go to the worship hall to invite Uncle Li to sit in the town, and hurry up to exchange everything that can be sold for cash in the past few days. Tell the brothers to give everyone a reward when the deed is done. ”

In the next few days, everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to what Chen Bai said, Qi Hong found a big casino under the name of Jiang Gang, and hired a lot of workers to renovate and decorate the casino these days, and arranged for the bright posts and secret posts in all corners, and even invited Qin Xin, the most famous Qing man in the jade workshop in the capital, to be the host of the jade auction, of course, this was arranged by Chen Bai.

Just in these days, the Jiang Gang was in full swing with the auction of jade and the sale of goods, and disappeared for more than a month, and rushed to the capital, with a tattered, dry and black bloodstain on his body, cracked lips, red eyes and deep dark circles, followed by several shadow dragon guards who escorted the torture to the palace.

Just before returning to the capital, when Xing Ti passed through Changping Prefecture on the way back from Nanzhai after the Grand Canyon, Xing Ti found that there seemed to be more people in Changping Prefecture, and he also faintly felt that he seemed to be being targeted.

Because Xing Ti was still a little uncertain at that time, he did not startle the snake, and hurried as always, until Xing Ti arrived at the junction of Changping Prefecture and Tongzhou, Xing Ti obviously felt that he was being targeted, and he was getting closer and closer.

While hurrying away, he quietly hid the prescription close to his body, and his right hand unconsciously put it on the saber Kuaiyu on his waist.

When Xingti's horse couldn't run anymore and needed to rest, Xingti dismounted and put the horse aside, followed by dozens of black shadows.

The torturer raised the knife out of the sheath, no longer spoken, and looked at the enemy indifferently, the matter between life and death, there is nothing to say when you are alive, and there is no need to talk nonsense when you are dead.

At this moment, another group of people surrounded from behind, and without saying a word, they directly fought with the group of people who surrounded and killed him.

One of the leaders came over with a knife and helped Xing Ti relieve the siege, "Master Xing, leave it to us here, you continue to hurry, and half a mile to the south, I have already prepared a fast horse for you." ”

Xing Ti breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the fact that Shadow Dragon Wei was here, indicating that His Majesty had also heard the rumors. The torture is not polite, now that the situation is urgent, some people already know that they have taken the prescription and are going to pick peaches halfway, and it is the safest way to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Since then, the road has been extremely dangerous, and he has encountered three more ambushes, and each time the Shadow Dragon Guard appeared in a very timely manner, and Xing Ti was only responsible for hurrying.

The most dangerous thing is the outskirts of the north gate of the capital, the gang of robbers actually had the great master of the Liangyi Realm blocking the way, just when Xing Ti thought that he was going to die here today, an unexpected person appeared, and saw Ji Huo, the current deputy director of the law department and also the former deputy director of the law department, led twenty shadow dragon guards to appear in front of Xing Ti with thick knives.

"Don't leave yet, wait until I invite you to drink!" said Activator lazily with his back to Xingti.

Xing Ti smiled and continued to rush to the capital.

The Shadow Dragon Guard brought by Ji Huo also followed the torture and escorted him all the way, leaving Ji Huo alone to stop the other party's Liangyi Realm Grand Master and a cadre.

By the time Xing Ti entered the capital, there were less than ten Shadow Dragon Guards who escorted him, and Xing Ti couldn't help but feel sorry, every Shadow Dragon Guard was a master cultivated by the palace with effort and money, assassination, intelligence, disguise, and all kinds of proficient, and now I don't know how much it has been lost in just a few days.

Directly under the leadership of Gonggong Mu, Xing Ti, who entered the palace, came to the imperial study to meet Emperor Qian, and told Emperor Qian about the process of obtaining the prescription.

Emperor Qian looked at the prescription in his hand and frowned slightly, "Millennial cold marrow?"

Xing Ti nodded and said, "That's true, I tried to enter the depths of the Great Snow Mountain, but I found that my cultivation was not enough to go inside before. And I'm afraid that the ordinary Liangyi Realm Grand Master won't be able to last long, at least the cultivation must be deeper. ”

Emperor Qian pondered, shook his head and said: "This Juyuan Dan, I think the main effect is the effect of improving the cultivation of the Liangyi Realm, like Hua Ji used the low-level Bamen Realm that night to forcibly promote to the pseudo-Liangyi Realm, although it is a little harmful to the heavens and harmony, but it should still be used as a miracle trick at a critical time." ”

"Shadow, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll see the finished Juyuan Dan within a month. ”

Emperor Qian's order, a black shadow faintly appeared, took the medicine from Emperor Qian's hand, and disappeared.

Emperor Qiandi originally wanted Xing Ti to go back to rest and rest first, but seeing that Xing Ti wanted to speak and stopped, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "What's the matter, what else do you have to say?"

Xing Ti didn't want to say it, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to tell Emperor Qiandi about his apprenticeship in the Northern Wei Dynasty, after all, since the group of people hidden in the dark knew their whereabouts, they were bound to find Grandpa Xue and Xiao Yu, and they didn't want them to be implicated.

Emperor Qian shook his head and smiled slightly: "I thought what was the matter, I would shoot the Shadow Dragon Guard to protect them, so you don't have to worry." But I can say that I can't control how your apprentice arranges for you to do it yourself in the future. ”

Hearing this sentence, Xing Ti was naturally happy, which was equivalent to taking a reassuring pill, of course, Xing Ti could only understand it, and could not show it, otherwise it would be really disrespectful. Emperor Qiandi tactfully told Xingti that I will not force you to let your apprentice do things for the court in the future, it all depends on your apprentice's own wishes.

"Your Majesty, according to the humble opinion of your subordinates, this group of robbers may be the same group that killed Mr. Si Jing in Jingnan Pavilion last year. Xing Ti said what he thought.

Emperor Qian nodded: "Well, it's almost the same as I thought." Alright, leave the rest of this matter to Shadow Dragonguard, you go back and rest, I see that you are going to be unstable. ”

But no, as soon as Emperor Qiandi finished speaking, he fainted in the imperial study.

"Father-in-law Mu. ”

"The minions are here. ”

Hearing Emperor Qian's voice, Gonggong Mu outside the door hurriedly walked in, looked at the torture that fell to the ground, roughly checked the lower pulse, and checked the true qi again.

"Your Majesty, Master Xing is fine, it is caused by excessive fatigue at that time, it is good to make up for a few days of rest. "Gonggong Mu said about the punishment.

"That's good, you order someone to send Master Xing back to the mansion, call a few clever little guys to take good care of Lord Xing, and by the way, take some ginseng, lingzhi, bird's nest and the like in my inner library to replenish the vitality of Lord Xing, plus gold, silver and cloth, and send them over, and let Deputy Director Ji Huo come to me later." After finishing speaking, Emperor Qiandi looked at the folds with peace of mind.

"No!"

After Gong Mu received the order, he instructed the two little eunuchs to carry the torturer back to the mansion in a delicate small sedan chair.

In the evening, Ji Huo entered the palace, and after only a while, Ji Huo was ordered to leave the palace.

A few days later, the quiet and serene valley village of the Northern Wei Dynasty ushered in a stranger, who looked a little solid, saying that the ancestral home was here, which could be regarded as returning to the hometown, coming back to recognize the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, and settled here.
