"hurry up!"
As this cargo ship engraved with the character "官" entered Qingshan Pier.
On the dock, the sharp urgings and curses from the stewards of Tian's Trading Company rang out again.
After hearing this, Zhao Qingzhan did not speak, but looked at the big man suspiciously.
The big man grinned and said: "Don't be surprised, the emperor's eldest grandson. This villain is from the Weiguo Duke's mansion. He is entrusted by my lady to investigate the matter of Tian's business.
However, I would like to ask the emperor, Sun Mo, to speak out now. It is not yet time for this matter.
After my young lady comes, I will explain the reason to you. "
Hearing the words of this middle-aged man with a rough face, Zhao Qingzhan was shocked and looked at the big man in disbelief.
"Auntie Xu?"
Listening to Zhao Qingzhan's words, the middle-aged burly man nodded imperceptibly.
"Does Aunt Xu also know about this?"
Immediately, Zhao Qingzhan's expression was shocked again, and he looked at the middle-aged man with a rough face in surprise.
"The Emperor's eldest grandson, it's not appropriate to say more about this matter for the time being. I'll talk to you later after you and I get the evidence."
The rough-looking middle-aged man showed a smile on his rough face and looked at Zhao Qingzhan.
"understand."
Zhao Qingzhan nodded excitedly.
This is a big deal. I didn't expect that he, Zhao Qingzhan, could get involved in such a thing.
Moreover, he has long been unhappy with the people at Tian's Trading Company.
He scolded his servants harshly, abused his workers, and acted arrogantly. Now he is even more audacious and uses official ships to smuggle goods.
No matter what happens, it is a serious matter that can be punished.
With the shouts of those in charge.
Zhao Qingzhan and the burly-looking man also walked towards the cargo hold of the official ship.
And at the same time.
Not far from Qingshan Pier, inside the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.
Xu Ruoyun and Caiyun, who had been paying attention to every move on the dock, also noticed this scene.
"Miss, here we come."
Cuiyun looked anxiously at Xu Ruoyun aside.
They had waited for so long, but they finally got it.
"Get down!"
Xu Ruoyun replied without hesitation.
After saying that, he stood up and rushed downstairs with a movement of his body. He was as fast as a cunning rabbit, and he already appeared at the door in two vertical steps.
"Miss, please wait for me."
Seeing Xu Ruoyun's figure disappearing from the door almost in the blink of an eye, Cuiyun was so angry and anxious that she didn't even bother to pick up the half-eaten pastry on the table. After stuffing a mouthful of it into her mouth, she quickly followed Xu Ruoyun's back towards the stairs. pursue.
And at the same time.
There were figures walking out from all over the restaurant, each with a strong aura and resolute eyes, no less impressive than the middle-aged man next to Zhao Qingzhan.
"Boss, I think I saw an official ship."
Not only Xu Ruoyun.
Even the guards from Youzhou and those left behind by the Jinyi Guards who were left here by Zhang San were also looking at the cargo ship in surprise at this moment.
"How come Tian's Trading Company has contact with official ships?"
As this exclamation sounded, a exclamation also sounded in the darkness at Qingshan Pier.
"What should we do? Should we report it directly to the palace, or should we continue to watch?"
"Don't overwhelm the emperor's grandson. Focus on the safety of the emperor's eldest grandson. First send a few people over to protect the emperor's eldest grandson, and find someone else to inform the palace and bring people over."
A voice of command came from the darkness.
This group of Jin Yiwei quickly became quiet.
However, several figures quickly walked out and walked towards Qingshan Pier, and there was also a figure that climbed over the wall and quickly ran towards the palace.
…
On the official ship.
Zhao Qingzhan and the middle-aged man stood in front of a wooden box that was as big as one person.
Look left and right.
Unfortunately, the entire box was sealed with sealing strips. There was a copper lock on the outside of the box, which completely eliminated the possibility of opening it.
"What are you two doing in a daze? You want to die if you don't move things!"
There was a snap.
The sound of a whip being struck on the back was heard.
Behind Zhao Qingzhan and the burly man, a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks dressed like a manager of Tian's Trading Company picked up the long whip in his hand and whipped the middle-aged man hard.
Zhao Qingzhan was extremely angry and was about to curse, but was stopped by the middle-aged man's eyes.
Then a flattering smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face. After nodding his head obediently, he quickly waved to Zhao Qingzhan to help lift the box.
The young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks who looked like a steward smiled contemptuously when he saw this.
Standing aside leisurely waving his whip.
If he gets upset with other stickmen, he will be whipped.
Although the box is large, it is not very heavy.
When it was lifted up, there was a crackling sound of metal hitting inside.
Not surprisingly, it should be silver.
Others may not be able to tell what these sounds are.
But Zhao Qingzhan heard it almost instantly.
Even the middle-aged man's expression changed similarly.
What is the purpose of transporting so much money to the capital on official ships? And where does this money come from?
And judging from the sound of the boxes being lifted by other stickmen moving around.
Not surprisingly, most of the wooden box in this official ship was filled with silver.
This is no small amount of money.
However, even if they heard it, nothing showed on their faces. Instead, they still lowered their heads and walked towards the outside of the cabin together.
Just as the two of them were carrying the wooden box outside the cabin.
Suddenly there was a noise from the crowd in the distance.
Among the crowd, there was suddenly a figure wearing a white dress, riding towards this side quickly.
Behind her, there were nearly a hundred people.
"Aunt Xu?"
Seeing the figure rushing out of the crowd waving a long whip, Zhao Qingzhan's expression was shocked and he couldn't help but pause.
"Kill all the stickmen for me, quickly, quickly!"
Just when Zhao Qingzhan saw Xu Ruoyun, Tian Heng's fat figure suddenly appeared on the deck in a hurry, shouting to the guards beside him with a horrified expression.
"Sail the boat, sail the boat!"
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the deck behind him.
As Tian Heng's words fell, the guards of Tian's Trading Company who were standing on the deck immediately drew out their long swords and rushed towards Zhao Qingzhan and others with fierce eyes.
In an instant, the entire official ship was in panic.
Some of the stickmen who were running slower were stabbed from behind with a knife.
Blood spurted out almost instantly.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Qingzhan's face turned pale.
Where has he seen this scene before?
"My lord, something happened."
Outside Qingshan Pier, I could hear noises in the distance, as well as bursts of cries of people dying.
Zhang San’s expression changed.
"Hurry over."
Zhao Ding's expression was so calm that he didn't care to walk slowly and rushed directly towards Qingshan Pier.
