Qian Bufei asked his servants to bring in chairs and tables. Under a huge umbrella, Qian Bufei leaned sideways on the chair, eating and drinking refreshments on the table while watching the workers at work. The workers of Qian Mansion did not dare to slack off at all. In the hot weather, they kept going in and out of the warehouse and loading site. It only took half an hour to sort, sort, weigh, and load the tea collected from the warehouse. Boxing and other processes are completed. A box of tea leaves weighs one hundred kilograms, and there are thirty boxes of tea leaves, all of which have been sorted out. Qian Bufei stood up and looked at the results of these workers, with a slight smile on his lips, and then said to the workers: "You guys are really good at your work, forget it, sir, I'm in a good mood, I won't argue with you, you all go and have a rest." Right." In his heart, he looked down on these workers from the bottom of his heart. Qian Fei felt that they were lucky to work for him. Without my Qian Fei, they probably wouldn't even be able to eat. And these workers seemed to have become accustomed to it, sweating profusely as they watched Qian Fei leave. Qian Bufei walked back to the courtyard and found the housekeeper, asking him to prepare the carriage, load all the tea leaves into the carriage, and then set off to Xinyang City. After explaining, he went back to the room to find Jin Ye. At this time, Jin Ye had also arranged his clothes and was waiting for Qian Fei.
After Qian Bufei entered the door, he said, "Madam, let's go."
Jin Ye said: "Okay, sir. The slave family has been waiting for a long time. By the way, these two people are the two servants I selected to serve me. This is Xiaoxia. As you know, they have served me before." This man's name is Liu Dachun, and he was recommended by Xiaoxia, they are from the same village, and I thought he was quite honest, so I stayed."
Liu Dachun and Xiaoxia bowed respectfully and Qian Fufei saluted. Qian Fufei glanced at them casually and didn't pay much attention. At this time, he only had one thing in mind, which was to arrive at Xinyang City before Youshi and bring the tea leaves. After transporting them all, he said perfunctorily: "Madam, you can do whatever you like. Let's leave quickly." Under Qian Fufei's urging, Jin Ye took the two of them and followed Qian Fufei to the door of Qian's Mansion. He got on the carriage and walked towards Xinyang City.
It was already six o'clock in the morning when Qian's motorcade arrived at Xinyang City. Qian Fufei breathed a sigh of relief and got off the carriage. Just when he was about to enter the city, he saw that the man guarding the city gate was none other than Ding Xiaowu, who had challenged him before. Qian Fufei panicked, " Why is it him? We are really enemies on a narrow road! Didn't I say that we have already taken care of it?"
The leader of the motorcade looked at Qian Fufei standing in front of the motorcade and asked, "Master Qian, shall we go into the city now?"
Qian Bufei said, "Wait, let me think about it." Qian Bufei planned to wait and wait until Ding Xiaowu left before entering the city. It's not that money is not something Ding Xiaowu is afraid of. Tea is under the sole control of the imperial court, and these new teas must be handed over to the government before they can be released to the hands of various tea merchants. The money is not that these teas are not bought from the government, but collected by themselves. If you hand over the tea to the government after entering the city, that's okay, but if you transport it to other places privately, if someone exposes it, it will be a violation of the law.
Ding Xiaowu was chatting with other government officials at the gate of the city. He accidentally saw Qian Bufei and the motorcade behind him not far away. He pointed in the direction of Qian Bufei and said to the two government officials beside him: "Hey , isn’t that person from Xiaolin Town’s Qian Yuanwai!”
The two government officials also looked over there intently. After checking, one of the government officials said: "It is indeed the money officer. There seems to be a convoy behind it, and there are many boxes on it!"
Another officer said: "The head catcher told me that the convoy outside the Qian's team can be exempted from inspection, so we can just let them go."
"Yes. The cashier's business is very big. Look at so many boxes. If we really want to check them, we don't know how long we will have to check them! It's almost time to change the shift, so we won't have to do so many troublesome things. "A yamen servant said.
Another officer said: "That's right. Anyway, the catcher has already given his instructions. If anything really happens, the catcher will take care of it. Xiaowu, what are you thinking about when you look straight over there?"
A yamen servant saw that Ding Xiaowu was silent and seemed to be thinking about something. He quickly reminded Ding Xiaowu: "Xiaowu, I know your temperament. But, master, no, we don't dare to disobey what the arrester told us. Don't forget what happened to get you dismissed a few days ago. ”
Ding Xiaowu said with a smile: "Every time I learn a lesson, I gain wisdom. I am no longer the same person. I know how to do it." Ding Xiaowu looked at Qian Fufei, and his eyes met with Qian Fufei's. Bu Fei hurriedly turned his face away and thought to himself: "He seems to have seen me. It seems that I can only go back now. If he catches me, with his bad temper, I am afraid he will take these tea leaves directly to the government." Go! It's better to run away in vain than to fold these tea leaves here."
Ding Xiaowu saw that Qian Feifei was deliberately dodging, and thought that he might have some scruples about him, so he kept hesitating. There must be something fishy about the things in his motorcade. Since you won't come, then take the initiative yourself! Ding Xiaowu thought and walked towards Qian Fei. When Qian Bufei saw Ding Xiaowu walking towards him, he immediately panicked and hurriedly wanted to get back into the carriage and ask the convoy to turn around and go back. Unexpectedly, Qian Fei failed to step firmly on his feet and fell to the ground facing the loess. When Ding Xiaowu saw this, he laughed out loud, walked over quickly, helped Qian Fufei up from the ground, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qian, we meet again."
Qian Fufei didn't care to dust himself off at this time, and replied hesitantly: "Ding Yamen, long time no see."
Ding Xiaowu asked: "Commander Qian, what are you so upset about? Look at your body, it's all dust, let me pat it for you." Then he patted the dust off Qian Feifei's body very carefully and kindly. Lose. Qian Fufei was very confused at this time, why Ding Xiaowu was so friendly to him.
Jin Ye, who was on the carriage, heard the noise outside the carriage, and quickly opened the door curtain of the carriage to check, and saw a government servant slapping the dust off Qian Bufei's body. He called Xiaoxia on the carriage, and the two got off the carriage and walked to Qian Bufei. Next to him, Fu Fei asked with concern: "Guanren, are you okay?"
Qian Fufei said: "It's okay, it's okay."
Jin Ye said to Ding Xiaowu: "Thank you for helping my family officials."
Ding Xiaowu said: "Where is it? Mr. Qian is a noble person specially assigned by Zhang Captou, so naturally I don't dare to slack off."
When Qian Fufei heard this, he knew that it was Lao Zhang who had already trained this boy, so his attitude became domineering and he said: "I wanted to get on the carriage and go to the city, but I saw you running in a hurry. , the master was frightened, and he lost his balance and fell."
Ding Xiaowu apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qian, my eyesight has not been very good these days. I looked like you from a distance but didn't dare to recognize you. I just wanted to get closer and have a closer look, but I didn't know that I scared you, Mr. Qian." Sorry, I really can’t help it.”
Qian Fufei didn't want to argue with Ding Xiaowu at this time and said, "Okay, sir, I want to go to the city. As for the convoy behind me, Capt. Zhang will give you an explanation."
Ding Xiaowu said respectfully: "I've explained it, I've explained it. All the arrests have been made, and there will be no obstruction."
Qian Fufei said with a smile: "That's good." He said to Jin Ye: "Let's go, madam, let's get in the carriage."
