Pier 12, the chief helm spent more than a month rebuilding it.
By the time the surroundings returned to their original appearance, the temperature had dropped suddenly and it was starting to get colder.
The bearded man stood outside the stone castle, looking at the twelve watchtowers that had been re-erected. He showed no joy, and his eyes were even more sinister.
He knew in his heart that what he saw in front of him was only superficial glory, and Pier 12 was no longer as good as before.
Du Buguo did not stop there. During this period, he continued to cause havoc at the docks along the Qinghe River, causing him to suffer losses one after another.
The goods that were burned that night were all on the compensation list.
Fortunately, we decided to temporarily withhold the goods consigned by Baifu and stranded them in Yuncheng without bringing them back. Otherwise——
"Gang leader, it's bad! News came from Yuncheng that the dock warehouse suddenly flooded for some reason, and all the goods stored in the warehouse were burned!" The leader of Yifenduo Hall hurried over, his face turned pale. , "Also, the Bai family just handed over a letter, with... a cargo list. The total value of the Bai family's consignment is 40,000 taels. According to industry regulations, we need to compensate the Bai family 80,000 to 80,000 taels."
The last three words, the first hall master could hardly speak.
Adding the losses of the Bai family and the losses of other customers, the amount of silver that Pier 12 needs to pay out alone will be 120,000 to 30,000 taels!
In addition to the cost of rebuilding the main rudder... it is not enough to consume all the main rudder at once!
The bearded man was trembling and breathing rapidly, and the evil in his eyes was so intense that he almost condensed, "The goods consigned by the Bai family this time are just some ordinary powdered fabrics and old rice! They cost three thousand taels! Worth forty thousand taels? He Bai Kui looked at me Want to take advantage of Pier 12 once it loses power? What a fucking daydream!"
The head of the hall lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "In addition to those things, the list attached by the Bai family also has one more thing... It is an antique exquisite ball bought by Bai Kuituo people, worth thirty-seven thousand taels of silver."
A sweet smell surged out of the bearded man's mouth, and he forced himself to swallow it, "Believe it!"
The letter from the White House was immediately handed to him.
The bearded man unfolded the letter. There were only a few words in the letter, but it seemed like several knives were stuck in his back.
——Big beard, it’s not Bai who is unjust. On that day, the goods at the rudder of Pier 12 were burned. Bai didn't immediately collect the debt because of our friendship. Now more than a month has passed. In business, things are really valuable, and Bai can't afford to wipe out this account. The things he had painstakingly bought for his son to play with were burned together, and there was no explanation from Gang Leader Hu for a long time. Bai also couldn't sleep at night. I hope that the compensation banknote will be delivered to Baifu within three or two days and will be waiting for you.
——Also, I was shocked to hear that the Yuncheng warehouse at Pier 12 was also burned down. Things are unpredictable. Gang Leader Hu would like to express my condolences.
"Bai! Kui!" After reading the letter, the bearded man's eyes darkened and he almost fainted. The pressured blood in his throat spurted out, "Bai, Bai Xiaofeng! These two people actually joined forces to trick me, okay, okay, okay !”
He had just learned about the burning of the Yuncheng warehouse, but the letter attached by Bai Kui already knew the news before he did!
The fire in Yuncheng was set by Bai Kui!
He personally burned his own goods and then robbed him!
What kind of antiques worth tens of thousands of taels? What exquisite ball! The goods have been destroyed, Bai Kui deceived him and couldn't prove it, so he came to confront him!
And Bai Xiaofeng!
The shipping route of Pier 12 has always been meticulous. It is difficult for outsiders to know which terminal the goods transported on the way dock. However, what is difficult for others to know is not difficult for Bai Xiaofeng!
It was Bai Xiaofeng who told Bai Kui that his goods were detained in Yuncheng!
The two of them teamed up to trick him!
"Go, raise money..." He bit his tongue again to force himself to wake up, and the bearded man breathed heavily and ordered.
"Gang leader——"
"Go! Otherwise, next time, Bai Kui and Bai Xiaofeng will join forces to find out, and directly attack me at Pier 12!"
The bearded man roared again, hoarse at the top of his lungs, his sinister eyes were so red that his forehead and neck were all covered with veins sprouting from suppressed anger.
He doesn't want to pay, but this time he loses money, and he can't bear it!
Turning his gaze in the direction of Fengyun City, the bearded man was so filled with hatred that venom oozed from his eyes.
…
Fengyun City, Magpie Tower.
Bai Kui was dressed in black and was sitting in a private room on the second floor. He ordered a table full of delicious food and went upstairs to taste good wine. He was in a happy mood.
When he was in a good mood, he invited the accompanying butler to sit down and drink with him.
"Master, this time I'm so proud. The bearded man knew it was a loss but he still had to bite it off." The housekeeper laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared.
How can I not be happy if I get 80,000 taels of compensation for goods worth less than 3,000 taels for nothing?
What a windfall!
Bai Kui drank half a bottle of wine, the smell of alcohol was on his face, and he laughed and said, "It's not that simple. Bai Xiaofeng and Big Beard had a rift before for some reason. He deliberately leaked the news to me in order to provoke the Bai family. With the incident at Pier 12, let me fight with the big beard so that he can get away. Do you think I am stupid? I backhanded him and dragged him into the water. Do you want to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers? Hmph."
The butler complimented again, "The master of the house is the master of the house. This old slave is so impressed that he is in admiration!"
"Big Beard is a man who knows how to assess the situation. He thinks that I and Bai Xiaofeng have really joined forces. If he wants to get some time to recuperate at Pier 12, he has to get the 80,000 taels for me. Hahaha! You wrote a good letter. At the end of the month Give me a reward of five taels!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Bai Kui ate a lot of food, drank a lot of wine, and spent a hundred taels of silver at Wangque Tower.
We drank all afternoon until sunset, and it was already dusk when we walked out of the private room.
At the corner of the corridor, I bumped into a man in moon robe walking leisurely up from downstairs.
Bai Kuihu stared at him, laughed and greeted him, "Lord Bai, it's so rare that I came here to have a meal, and I met you by chance. It's a pity that I just finished eating and was about to leave, otherwise I could still have Invite Master Bailou to have a few drinks together, and Wangquelou’s unique fragrant dew is indeed a good wine!”
Bai Xiaofeng walked up the stairs slowly, and stood with Bai Kui at the entrance of the not-so-wide corridor. Their eyes met. He raised his lips and smiled warmly in the spring breeze. "The Master of the Bai family is exaggerating. It was unlucky that Bai came back early. Knowing that Master Bai is here to show off, I will spare you the drinks today, right?"
"No, no, no, in business, you have to pay for meals at home. I just made a lot of money today, so it's not a big deal to pay for a meal, hahaha!"
"Then welcome Master Bai to visit us more in the future, so that Bai can earn more money for incense."
"It's easy to talk! I'll definitely come!"
"please."
"please!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two passed by each other, going upstairs and then downstairs.
After they turned away from each other, the smiles on their faces immediately disappeared and they gritted their teeth secretly.
When Bai Xiaofeng walked upstairs, her eyes glanced down, and with a flick of her sleeves, she said, "Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, hiding a knife in your smile, you actually dare to take advantage of me! You are the one who looks good!"
After Bai Kui left the restaurant, he turned around and glanced upstairs as if unintentionally, "Huh, I'm stabbing you in the back with a needle in the back. I know how to do it? I'll give you a move back!"
