"Mr. Su, why is there only one ship to receive the goods?" the owner of a cloth shop asked.
Su Hu shook his head and walked forward with a smile on his face.
As for the person who received the goods, after fixing the boat, he stepped off.
Although they had never met each other, the person who received the goods greeted Su Hu first: "Su's merchant."
Hearing this sound, Su Hu was a little surprised and asked with a smile on his face: "Do you recognize me?"
The person who received the goods smiled: "Who doesn't know the reputation of Su Da's merchants? There are only a few big shots in Da Mo."
Su Hu was happy to hear the flattering words of the recipient.
After a while, Su Hu saw that there was no ship behind but only one ship to receive goods. Su Hu asked in confusion: "Can your ship handle so much cargo?"
The receiver smiled slightly and explained: "Don't worry, Merchant Su, there are still ships behind here." After saying this, looking at the many carriages in front of him, the receiver asked: " Merchant Su, look at it. Where do you start?"
After hearing this, Su Hu turned his head and turned sideways, looking at so many carriages. Soon, Su Hu locked his eyes on the carriage of a small cloth shop and said: "Let's come from that way first. "
"Okay. What do you think about this money, please give it to Merchant Su after receiving the goods?" asked the person who received the goods.
Su Hu agreed without much thought: "Okay."
Soon, several people began to unload the goods from the carriage onto the boat.
Just when all the leaders of the ceremony were smiling, an accident happened.
I saw several government teams running quickly from the surroundings.
These people, each wearing a red hat and a policeman's uniform, holding long knives tightly in their hands, surrounded the place.
"Don't move! Anyone who moves will be killed!" the head catcher of the government office said.
This policeman has a sturdy figure, and his face is almost covered by a beard. His surname is Zhao and his given name is Guang.
In this Liangcheng Mansion, everyone who saw him stayed away.
The main fear is that he will be caught by mistake. Although it is not a big deal if he is caught by mistake, if he encounters him, he will be beaten until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen before being interrogated.
Seeing this, the masters of the cloth shop, who had been smiling just now, now had panic visible on their faces.
Even Su Hu, the biggest leader among these cloth dealers, the Su family cloth shop, was a little confused. Looking at the surrounding policemen, he asked in confusion: "Masters, what are you...?"
After listening to these words, thinking that the person had taken the stolen goods together, there was no harm in speaking out. The head catcher Zhao Guang said: "Someone reported that you are doing business with overseas."
Upon hearing this, Su Hu, the head of the Su family's cloth shop, was even more puzzled and asked: "The ban on maritime trade was lifted a few days ago. What's wrong with the normal trade with overseas trade now?"

Listening to Su Hu's words, Xia Houji, the boss of Xia Family Clothing Company, raised his voice and said in confusion: "That's right. Now that the sea ban has been lifted, we can't do business with overseas?"
Looking at the puzzled faces, Zhao Guang, the head catcher, actually didn't know that he was just following orders, and he couldn't explain it. Zhao Guang's face looked a little more serious.
"Stop talking nonsense! I was also ordered to do something! If you have any questions, go back to the government office and ask." After saying this, Capt. Zhao didn't care about the expressions or words of the cloth masters, so he ordered: "Everyone ! Take these people to the government office together, and leave a few people to count these things!"
"yes!"
I saw that these government officials with knives took the owners of the cloth shops one by one, but none of the cloth shop owners dared to resist, so they could only follow obediently.
On the way to the city, all the pedestrians stopped to watch the excitement, and many people were talking about it.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. Most of these are famous cloth shops in the city. Look, Su's Cloth Shop is also in there."
Seeing the owners of the cloth shop being escorted by the government officials, the common people were all puzzled.
Soon, the news that most of the business owners in the city had been arrested by the government spread throughout the streets and alleys of Liangcheng Mansion.
"master!"
"master!"
"Oh no!"
"Oh no!"
In Su's house, the housekeeper Shoutai hurried towards where the master was with a panicked voice.
At this time, Mr. Su was relaxing in his backyard and stopped hurriedly when he heard someone calling.
When he saw it, it was the butler Shoutai walking towards him, he was out of breath.
Seeing this, the old housekeeper next to the master became anxious: "What's wrong?"
Before he could catch his breath, the housekeeper Shoutai said anxiously: "Young Master...Young Master has been arrested."
Upon hearing this, the old man was shocked: "Have you been arrested?"
Butler Shoutai nodded and looked at the old man with a slightly anxious face.
Seeing the butler Shoutai's appearance, it seemed that he could not go wrong. Before he could ask another question, the old man fainted.
"master!"
"master!"
"master!"
"Quickly, get the master back to the room first." The old housekeeper said anxiously.
"Okay." After the housekeeper Shoutai responded, he and the old housekeeper carried the old man on his back and walked to the bedroom.
Returning to the bedroom, seeing that the old man had not yet woken up, the old housekeeper anxiously asked Shoutai the reason.
"Why was the young master arrested?" the old housekeeper asked.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
.
Shoutai sighed and said: "Young master just now, together with the cloth dealers, pulled the goods to the dock and handed over the goods. At the time of handing over the goods, the Yamen's agents surrounded the dock. , I acted quickly and escaped, so I hurriedly came back to report to the master."
After listening to these words, the old housekeeper felt that they were in a fog, and said to himself: "Why did such a good person provoke the government? Besides, the sea ban has been lifted long ago. How can this happen? And you arrested someone?"
Shoutai was helpless on the side, always worried about the young master's safety.
Looking at the sky outside, it was almost getting dark. The old housekeeper said to himself: "It's getting dark too. If this case is tried, it won't be until tomorrow. We still have time."
Not long after the old housekeeper muttered to himself, perhaps because he had been worried about his son's safety, the old man woke up from his coma.
"Master, you are awake."
"Master, you scared the little one."
Looking at the old butler and the new butler who were watching, the old man asked worriedly: "What did Hu'er do to get caught?"
Hearing the master's words, the new butler Shoutai wanted to answer, but after seeing the old butler's face, he swallowed it in his heart.
Seeing the old butler's actions, the old man said anxiously: "It's okay, let him say, I can bear it."
Looking at the faces of the old man and the old housekeeper, Shoutai finally answered: "Master, just now the young master took the goods to the dock to deliver the goods with the owners of the cloth shops in the city, but not long after the delivery, the government people They came and surrounded the pier, and took the young master, the owners of the cloth shop, and those people together. If the young one hadn't run fast, he might have been caught."
After hearing this, before the old man could say anything, the old housekeeper was so anxious that he scolded him: "You can run away, but why can't the young master run away? Why can't you bring the young master back?"
Seeing the old housekeeper reprimanding Shoutai, the old man said: "Okay. It's not his fault. You can't just run away from this kind of thing." After saying this, the old man said to himself: "This is before the sea ban. Hasn’t it been lifted a few days ago, why was this Hu’er caught?”
Listening to the old man talking to himself, the two housekeepers on the side were helpless. Like the old man, they were very worried about the young master's safety.
For the old man, Su Hu is already his only relative and only son. If something goes wrong with this son, his life in this world will be meaningless.
As for the two housekeepers, the servants of the Su family and the servants of the cloth shop, without the young master Su Hu, the family's industry would not last long.
The old man is now in poor health, and it is difficult for him to work on the business. Even if he can work hard, if something goes wrong with the old man, the entire Su family and the servants of the cloth shop will lose their jobs. .
After thinking for a while and looking at the sky outside the window, the old man said something and stubbornly stood up: "No, I have to go to the government office to have a look."
