Chengyi Mansion.
In the village beside the official road ten miles west of Fucheng.
"The boss! The whole village stinks. The whole village smells like salted fish. Everyone can't stand it anymore!"
A middle-aged scribe with a goatee complained to his boss with a grimace on his face.
Not long ago, they robbed Feiyun Trading Company's goods according to the instructions above, but what they didn't expect was that Feiyun Trading Company actually transported all dry sea goods on that trip.
What can be done? I can only bring it back!
Think about it, how many sea goods are worth two hundred thousand taels of silver?
These days, the whole village smells like salted fish!
The boss is a bald man with two scars on his face stretching from the right corner of his mouth to the base of his ear. He looks extremely tough.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but twitch his lips, and touched his bald head with helplessness and said: "There is nothing we can do about it, just wait until we contact the buyer and sell the thing.
After all, it's a product worth two hundred thousand taels of silver. You can't just throw it away just because it smells bad, right? "
The middle-aged scribe sighed, stretched out his hand to stroke the goatee on his chin, and fell into deep thought, thinking about who could swallow so much salted fish. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said hurriedly: "Master, we You can sell the salted fish to the Yamen. The order to snatch things was given by the Zhao family, so they can't ignore it, right?
Let them spread out the salted fish stalls and sell them all over the house, right? "
After hearing this, the bald master stroked his bald head and began to think. The middle-aged scribe on the side quickly advised:
"Master, don't hesitate any longer. Now the whole village smells of salted fish. The brothers have a big problem. If we don't solve it, I'm afraid some brothers won't be able to stand it!"
After hearing this, the bald boss touched his head a little faster. After a while, he finally nodded sharply and said:
"Okay, I'll write a handwritten letter later and have him send it to the Chengyi Mansion Office.
After receiving the reply, we immediately sent all the salted fish to you. Not only you, but also me, I almost vomited from the smell of this salted fish in the past two days! "
As he was talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew, bringing waves of the salty smell of salted fish, and suddenly!
"vomit……"
"vomit……"
The bald boss and the middle-aged scribe immediately bent over and retched.
After a while, when the two of them returned to normal, (their faces were still a little pale) the head master no longer dared to neglect, and just got someone to bring him a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and started writing a letter.
While writing about the bald boss, he also complained: "In my eighth lifetime, Luocao actually robbed dozens of carts of salted fish for the first time!
Damn it, if other Green Forest colleagues find out, I will lose my face! "
The middle-aged scribe on the side also said with a speechless face: "Who would have thought that such a large trading house would transport all salted fish, which is worth not even a tael of silver!"
"Ugh... stop talking, I feel like vomiting when I hear those two words!"
The bald boss who was writing a letter almost vomited again.
After a while, the bald boss finally wrote the letter. The middle-aged scribe hurriedly took it and read it before starting to seal it.
Then he called the sparrows in the village.
Sparrow, he is from the village, but not from the village. He was arranged by the Zhao family and is responsible for the connection between the village and the Zhao family.
He is the only one in the village who can contact the Zhao family. If anyone else goes, the Zhao family will ignore you.
Handing the letter to Sparrow, the middle-aged scribe solemnly warned: "Sparrow! This letter must be handed over to Zhao Zhe, the prefect of Chengyi Prefecture. Whether brothers can please this damn salted fish smell depends on you." ah!"
Sparrow has been tortured by the smell of salted fish these days. After hearing this, he knew that this thing was actually written to solve the smell of salted fish. He immediately patted his chest and promised:
"Don't worry, military advisor, I will bring this letter as soon as possible!"
The middle-aged scribe nodded with satisfaction. At this time, the big boss on the side suddenly said: "Sparrow, be careful not to be seen on the road. After all, it is Feiyun Trading Company. We robbed them. If someone sees us and the Yamen It would be bad if there was contact.”
Sparrow nodded: "Don't worry, boss, I saved these!"
The bald boss nodded with satisfaction.
Soon, with the hope of the whole village in mind, Sparrow embarked on the road to Fucheng.
…
Chengyi Mansion, the back hall of the Yamen.
"Master Fu Zun, when we intercepted and killed Feiyun Trading Company's caravan last time, a few of them ran away. Now I'm afraid they have gone back. Feiyun Trading Company may have known that the caravan was intercepted in our Chengyi Mansion. We Be prepared early!
That trading company is said to have an unclear relationship with the royal family. If the higher-ups come to hold us accountable, it will be hard for us to explain! "
Wang Yong, the master of Chengyi Mansion, was analyzing with his prefect what might happen next after what he had done a few days ago.
Zhao Cheng, the prefect of Chengyi Prefecture, suddenly turned gloomy when he heard this. He slapped the table with hatred and said, "These damn trash can run away even if they intercept a caravan. Now our Chengyi Prefecture has been exposed!" Mainly because I know that we can’t do anything clean here, and if I’m punished, I’m afraid my position as the prefect next year will be in jeopardy!”
Zhao Cheng was born into a branch of the Zhao family and was born in the third room of the Zhao family. With the support of the Zhao family, he took the position of the prefect of Chengyi Prefecture.
Now that the main line had finally arranged something, it ended up like this. He didn't even know how to explain it to the main line.
Master Wang Yong quickly advised: "Master Fu, don't panic. When manpower is limited, no one can guarantee that nothing will happen. Besides, it's just a few people running away. It doesn't matter. In their opinion, they are just being captured." The bandits in the village robbed it, so we have nothing to do with it."
"Hmph! It'd better be this way!"
Zhao Cheng nodded unhappily.
And at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door three times, slightly longer and shorter.
The two people in the house suddenly went silent when they heard the strange knock on the door. When the knock on the door stopped, the two looked at each other, and then they heard Zhao Chengdao: "Let him in!"
There was no response from outside the house, but there was the sound of leaving footsteps.
Zhao Cheng saw Master Wang Yong and said, "Why is the sparrow coming here at this time? Doesn't he know that we both have to avoid suspicion now?"
Wang Yong shook his head: "This student doesn't know either, let's ask him when he comes.
By the way, Fu Zun, I don’t know if anyone else saw him when he came. The student went down to make arrangements to avoid any accidents. "
Zhao Cheng nodded: "Well, go ahead."
Immediately, Master Wang Yong opened the door and walked out quickly.
We are at a critical moment now, and we must not expose any flaws. If this sparrow comes over and is seen by someone, then he can only be blamed for being unlucky!
The master here had just left, and then he turned into a sparrow dressed as a government servant and walked into the room from outside the door with his waist hunched.
Seeing him, Zhao Cheng frowned immediately and asked:
"What are you here for?
Don’t you know that now is a critical time and it’s best for us not to contact you? "
Hearing this, the sparrow quickly took out the letter from his arms and handed it over. While handing it over, he smiled bitterly and said: "Master Fu, it's not that I don't understand the seriousness of the matter now. This problem has really caused us too much trouble. Now we can only solve it if you help us.”
Zhao Cheng opened the envelope with a puzzled look on his face. Hearing what the sparrow said, he was extremely confused. What on earth was going on that forced him to come here now and ask him for help?
As a result, when he opened the letter and read it, his face suddenly darkened!
WTF?
They actually asked him, a magistrate, to help them sell salted fish!
Isn’t this a bit too much!
boom!
Zhao Cheng slammed the letter on the table, looked at the sparrow with angry eyes, and said in an angry and low tone:
"Is this why you came to the Yamen at this time?
It's just salted fish, but you actually want me to help you sell it. Your heads are full of water. How can I do such a thing?
If word spreads, wouldn't this office become a joke? Is Xianyu Prefect good to hear? ah! "
The sparrow smiled coquettishly, took two steps back, and then said helplessly:
"Master Fu, there is nothing we can do.
There are dozens of carts of salted fish. The whole village smells of salted fish. We, a group of bandits, have just fallen into the trap. There are no sales channels.
If we continue to put down the salted fish, the brothers in the village will run away! "
Listening to his words, Zhao Cheng became even more angry:
“So you approached me and asked me to sell you salted fish?
Are you fucking pig brains?
You just grabbed the salted fish, but I helped you take it out. Are you afraid that others won't know that I have something to do with you? "
The sparrow was stunned when he heard this. He really hadn't thought about this problem.
"But... what to do with the salted fish in the village?"
The sparrow was crying, he didn't want to smell the salted fish anymore.
"Salted fish, salted fish! You know salted fish! I think you look like a salted fish!"
Zhao Cheng cursed twice angrily, then put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the room, thinking.
It was he who arranged for Luo Cao to get rid of this bandit. He would still have to take care of it regardless of the possibility that he might develop any dissatisfaction over time, but this salted fish cannot appear on the market.
After thinking about it, Zhao Chengyi finally gritted his teeth and said: "After a while, I will arrange for someone to pick it up. Just give the things to them, and I will take care of it."
The sparrow nodded quickly when he heard this, and then looked at Zhao Cheng, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Cheng suddenly got angry and asked, "What else can you do?"
Sparrow hurriedly laughed twice: "Hey, Mr. Fu, you see, we have hard work even though we have no merit. We robbed dozens of carts of salted fish and didn't make a tael of silver. I won't make it back this time." So I can explain it to my brothers."
Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted, looking at him with disbelief, and pointed at himself: "Are you asking me for money?"
Sparrow chuckled and nodded.
Zhao Cheng was immediately laughed out of anger.
suddenly!
"Get out! Get out of here!
Damn it, if you want money, you have to come here!
All your fucking food and drinks are provided by this government, and you actually ask me for money. I owe you!
Get out of here, if you don't leave, believe it or not, I will cut off your food and let you starve to death on that mountain! "
The sparrow was kicked out repeatedly, and while walking out, rubbing its kicked buttocks, he muttered dissatisfiedly:
"Just leave, why are you so grand? You've been working together for a long time in vain, what a damn unlucky person!"
"roll!"
Zhao Cheng's angry roar came from the room again, which frightened the sparrow so much that he shuddered and ran away in a hurry.
When he returned to the village to talk about the matter, the bald boss frowned and thought for a long time, then said helplessly: "That's it, if you don't have money, you won't have money. Just get rid of this batch of things quickly. I'll just use it as a helper this time." ”
The first military advisor also touched his goatee and said:
"What Fu Zun said is right. After all, everything we eat is given by him. It's just some salted fish. It's said to be worth two hundred thousand taels. It must be able to be sold. Now these dozens of cars of salted fish are completely It's a hot potato. No one dares to take it over. There's no way to sell it. If there's no money, there's no money.
As long as he can be dealt with, that's a good thing. "
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Not long after, news came from Fucheng.
The bald boss quickly arranged for people to pull dozens of carts of salted fish to the designated location, and then left.
After a while, a group of plainclothes detectives arrived. Looking at the dozens of cars of salted fish, their heads suddenly got big.
“Boss, are these the things?
Where did so much salted fish come from? "
"You ask me, who am I asking? Mr. Fu Zun arranged it, just transport it away quickly!"
"Where to go?"
"Find a place to transport it and destroy it!"
"Huh? This is dozens of cars of salted fish, and it's just destroyed like this?"
"What if?"
"Boss, let me tell you something!"
A catcher mysteriously came to the catcher and whispered: "Boss, let me go a little further south here. People there love to eat this salted fish, and the price is as high as one hundred yuan." A pound of it!
More expensive than meat!
This is dozens of cars!
Isn’t it a pity that we destroyed it like this? "
The catcher looked up at him and narrowed his eyes: "Do you want to..."
The catcher chuckled and said: "They are all going to be destroyed anyway, which means that the Lord Fu doesn't want them. The Lord Fu doesn't like these things, but the brothers do!
We sell it little by little, and no matter how much we sell, people like us brothers will all share it.
Of course, boss, you must take the lion’s share!
This can be considered an improvement to some extent!
This fish can also be stored, which is extremely convenient! "
The catcher hesitated a little, and then the catcher persuaded him: "Boss! This is a rare opportunity. You can't miss it. You can't just let your brothers pick up the money when they see it, right?"
The policeman was still a little hesitant: "But this is the order of the Palace Master, and it must be completely destroyed..."
The policeman persuaded him again: "Boss, it's easy. We just don't let him appear in the market in Chengyi Mansion. It won't delay things!"
The head catcher looked at the agent who persuaded him, and then at the other agents who had also heard these words and were looking at him with bright eyes.
He immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Then let's transport these salted fish away. There happens to be an old house in my hometown that is vacant, so we can put the salted fish there. When we find a suitable caravan, we will sell these to them. The money earned by the caravan will be divided among everyone!"
"The leader is wise!"
"Thank you, boss!"
…
All the catchers suddenly showed happy smiles. This was dozens of cars of salted fish. Now they were making a lot of money!
…
