"This matter is not difficult to handle."
Lu Ren clicked the betel nut in his mouth and bared his yellow and black teeth: "You also know the relationship between Qimen Escort Bureau and Yihonglou. To get a person, a foreigner, five gold dollars from you is very fair."
Zhang Sihai remained silent after listening. Although he had a smile on his face, he was making calculations in his heart.
His sister Zhang Siqiao has worked in Yihonglou for so long, so Zhang Siqiao naturally knows the market price.
If an ordinary Simeng person goes in, like he was caught as a robber this time, the asking price can reach seven or eight gold yuan.
But there is a secret, and Zhang Sihai and his sister had roughly figured it out during their chat the night before.
What was Zhang Sihai’s name when he was arrested?
Robbery dart.
When a bodyguard is robbed, it is usually the bodyguard bureau that reports the case to the law enforcement agency. However, in addition to the law enforcement agency, the bodyguard bureau itself will also dispatch personnel to recover the stolen goods.
What the Escort Bureau wants is the recovery of stolen goods, and conviction and custody are the affairs of the National Law Department. Therefore, suspected fugitives caught by the Escort Bureau themselves must be taken into the jails of the National Law Department.
But the world is not black and white after all, and those who escort the escorts and those who rob them are often people in the world. It often happens that the green forest thieves who rob the escorts agree to return the stolen items, or even pay extra money, and only ask the escort agency to get the money and not pursue the person. , to get people back from Fasi, so each of them takes a step back, which can be regarded as a deal.
Therefore, the escort agency had obviously sent the suspect to the National Judiciary and later asked for his release. Although it seemed strange at first glance, it was also the way to survive in this industry.
There are many escort bureaus in Simeng. If the escort bureaus can get away with the people in the green forest, they will naturally have advantages that their counterparts do not have. And in Haizhou, where the military department is overwhelming the law department, the Qimen escort agency wants this convenience, and the national law department does not. Naturally, Bian can only do this conveniently.
This is the reason why the Qimen Escort Agency can lure people to the National Law Department, but naturally it cannot be used more often. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the Qimen Escort Agency has the ability to abduct people on the street?
Han Dongwen already understood that the Qimen Escort Agency was here for him and the Ming Shui Gun, but Zhang Sihai may not know that. He only felt that Robert saved his life, and it was natural for him to have this opportunity to free himself.
But he has the heart, but not the money.
Even according to Zhang Sihai's own thoughts, he felt that going directly to the escort agency would save him the handling fee at the Yihong Building step. Five gold dollars was something he could hardly afford as he had just redeemed Zhang Siqiao's body.
"How's it going? Damn it, if you want to catch it, you better do it early."
Lu Ren smacked his lips and his tone became a little irritable.
He stayed up all night playing cards last night, but God rewarded Qin for such a thing. After playing all night, he was unlucky and lost all night.
For those who work as escorts, whether on the road or in the escort agency, what they eat, drink, sleep and eat is the responsibility of the escort agency and the reception of the escorts. Such people are the same as those who go into the mountains to collect medicine or go out to build cities. , they have money, but they just can't keep it. A large sum of money comes to them all at once, and they usually spend it on eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling.
Lu Ren is no exception. He wants money now.
Zhang Sihai smiled apologetically when he heard him urging him. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and waved his hand behind Lu Ren: "Young Master Chi? Young Master Chi!"
Lu Ren turned around and saw Han Dongwen walking over.
"Did you two have a good chat?"
Han Dongwen asked with a smile behind his back, Lu Ren looked at him strangely, he was clearly a young man from an escort agency, why did he act like he was inspecting?
"Have you found out clearly? What is the prosecutor investigating?" he asked Han Dongwen.
Han Dongwen nodded: "The Chief of Justice met with Ha Yazi and said that he would prepare for the emperor's inspection in the past two days. I looked around and didn't see a boat to pick us up. I guess we can't leave."
"You two want to use the boat?" Zhang Sihai's eyes lit up and he suddenly interjected.
Lu Ren glanced at him and nodded. Zhang Sihai slapped his thigh: "Yes, yes! I have a boat!"
He briefly told Han Dongwen that he wanted to fish Robert out from the Haizhou Justice Prison, and added: "Dark Master Lu, Young Master Chi, I can't get the money right now, but if you can, you go Oh, I can leave!"
Lu Ren laughed disdainfully: "You? Do you know that we are escorting the escort's ship, or the mighty escort? What kind of ship is yours?"
When it came to the matter of running a boat, Zhang Sihai suddenly felt confident: "Master Lu, I'm not exaggerating. Everyone who saw the boat running in Haiya today knew about the port checks and the Qimen Escort Bureau escorted the escorts, but they couldn't be found because of the port checks. Ship, that’s impossible, unless you guys can’t check it this time, right?”
Lu Chen frowned and said nothing. Han Dongwen smiled and said, "Go on."
"Hey, the Qimen Escort Bureau is escorting the escorts. Even if the National Law Department wants to investigate, it is impossible to open the seal for inspection without a specific target. Besides, the other ships that I saw checking the port in Hague today did not board the ships to inspect the cargo, so you are not escorting anything. The problem is that there are so many patrol boats in The Hague and there are more people at the port. That’s why there is a problem. The problem lies in the shipping lanes.”
Zhang Sihai became more and more eloquent as he spoke, and his tone was like that of a famous fisherman: "So, where the escort masters are going, other ships can't go. If you don't like ships at this time, it would be nice to have a ship."
"Where did you say it was?" Lu Ren asked in a deep voice.
"Blood Harbor!" Zhang Sihai replied firmly.
Hearing that Zhang Sihai was absolutely right, Lu Chen fell silent for a moment.
Zhang Sihai's meaning was very clear. He took the risk of taking a few people to the Blood Harbor in exchange for Lu Ren to fish Robert out.
But what he wants is money.
"Get out of the boat and add three gold dollars." Lu Ren said with a serious face.
"Three gold..."
Zhang Sihai muttered in a low voice with an embarrassed expression, gritted his teeth, and was about to say something when Han Dongwen, who was standing aside, suddenly raised his hand and opened his mouth to interrupt the conversation between the two.
"Brother Lu, Brother Zhang, I don't think we can discuss this matter."
Han Dongwen smiled while looking up at the officers and soldiers of the French Department who were inspecting the port: "At this time, it may not be that simple to arrest people."
The bargaining was suddenly interrupted, and Lu Ren's expression suddenly became impatient: "Can't we negotiate? Do you think I can't fish him out alone?"
Of course you can fish someone out, Han Dongwen thought to himself.
It's a pity that Robert will never be able to fish it out.
That is the Ashes Choir from West Asia. Si Yang has already signed the document and it will be sent to the border soon to confirm him as the official envoy of West Asia.
Because Robert was already in the country, Han Dongwen had already added this person to the list of the Ashes Choir when he approved it before dawn today. He also specifically stated that he was in Haizhou and could not be neglected.
Haizhou, West Asia, choir.
It is really difficult not to locate this character. At this moment, Robert must have been well protected by the judicial department, waiting for the imperial envoy Zhong Lilin to come to Haizhou to pick him up.
"Brother Lu, let's make a bet." Han Dongwen said.
"What bet?"
As expected, Brother Lu gave a professional answer.
"If you can go over and fish the person out, this little brother will give us the boat for free. I will also give you the red gold from my escort trip, plus the two gold coins I have on me!" Han Dongwen replied with a smile.
The price of red gold for an escort trip is two to three gold yuan, which is not a huge wealth, but it is definitely a lot.
Added up, it can reach the price of Lu Renxin.
"Okay." He grinned, spit out the betel nut that had been chewed into dregs, and immediately prepared to turn around.
"Wait a minute, Brother Lu, I haven't finished yet."
Han Dongwen stopped him: "If we can't fish this man out, let's stop here. If Brother Zhang is willing to drive us to Haizhou, how about he also pay the escort agency's account and pay him the same price?"
Lu Ren was happy: "Okay, sure, is there anything else?"
Of course he was happy. The shipping fee was already paid, and it was also the escort agency's account. This did not impose any burden on himself.
"Nothing extra. If Brother Lu doesn't succeed, just tell me more about our escort agency."
Han Dongwen knew not to act too hastily and did not speak. He just smiled and nodded.
"OK!"
Lu Ren got a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, spit it out to his feet, turned around and waved to Rabbit Legs and Shaggy: "You two, come here together!"
As the saying goes, three people make a crowd. The ignorant Rabbit Legs and Fuzzy two followed behind Lu Ren. The escort flags they held in their hands suddenly made people look at them.
"Young Master Chi, what are you—"
Zhang Sihai was a little anxious: "Lord Luo really saved my life. He is my benefactor just like you, Mr. Chi. If it really doesn't succeed, how can we stop?"
Han Dongwen smiled confidently: "Don't worry, even if the master of the Daqi Sect came today, he wouldn't dare to take him away!"
