Chapter 47 Copper King (2)

I came out in such a hurry that I didn't even bother to take lunch with me.

After waiting at the dock for a while, Han Xiufeng was so hungry that he asked Pan Er to buy some pot helmets. Just after he had a few mouthfuls of tea, Jiang Liu came back sweating profusely and said happily when he saw him.

: "Fourth brother, I really fell into your trap! If we just wait helplessly on the dock like this, we won't even know what those idiots have done."

"Coming?" Han Xiufeng was excited and subconsciously stood up.

"Here, there are three in total. They are very sneaky. They pretend to be merchants from Guizhou and don't dare to go to the dental shop. They are as sneaky as thieves. If you hadn't asked me to send someone to keep an eye on them in advance.

, I will really be deceived by them."

“If they don’t look for dental shops, who else can they look for?”

"Of course, the two companies that do the most business can only buy so much goods." Jiang Liu was so excited when he thought that he could not only make a fortune but also take this opportunity to take revenge.

No matter who was pouring the tea on the table, he picked up the bowl and drank it all in one breath. He didn't even bother to wipe his mouth and said again: "I know you are worried, so I will come back and tell you first. I can't bear to witness such a big thing."

Don’t worry even if you’re staring at me, I’ll go back right away, and if there’s any movement, I’ll ask the monkey to report it.”

Han Xiufeng thought that he had been fooled. This time, the transport official who transported Yunnan copper was more stubborn than in previous years. He was so courageous.

He really didn't want to do anything wrong, so he couldn't help but said: "Sixth Brother, you go and keep an eye on it first. There are eyes everywhere in broad daylight. They will definitely trade at night. When the Copper King arrives, I will get on the boat first and beg the luck officer.

Let’s see if he is willing to help. If he is unkind, then don’t blame us for being unjust.”

"Fourth brother, what if that transport official agrees to take you on his sailing boat?"

"Then just pretend you don't know anything and pretend nothing happened."

Jiang Liu asked with a grimace: "But wouldn't our work be in vain?"

How could Han Xiufeng not know what Jiang Liu was thinking? He stared at him closely and said, "Brother Six, this matter is not as simple as you think. You must know that it is official copper that needs to be minted by the Beijing Bureau of Transport, which is almost the same as official silver!

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. If you are investigated in the future, the official Yun will be dismissed and investigated. If you are found out, you will lose your head!"

"Wealth can be gained through risk. How can we get rich without taking some risks?"

"Brother Six, you are not afraid of death, I am!"

Jiang Liu really didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he said eagerly: "You are now an official. I am not afraid of you. What should I be afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I'll hurt your brothers."

"But you still have trouble with me!"

"There is a plan, but it depends on how it is done, and there is no other way." Han Xiufeng weighed it again and again, looked into his eyes and said in an unquestionable tone: "Brother Six, I don't care about other things.

, but you have to listen to me on this matter, I don’t want to see you beheaded, let alone those of your brothers being beheaded.”

Jiang Liu looked back at the porters on the pier who were looking towards the pergola. Although he was reluctant, he still nodded: "Okay, it's all up to you. Anyway, we won't lose anything if we don't do it."

"Thank you."

"Brother Zizijie, it's too outrageous to say this. I'm leaving first."

"Go ahead and ask someone to send me a message if there's any news. I won't act rashly without saying anything."

"You know, I won't make fun of my brothers' wealth and lives."

Han Xiufeng still felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he turned around and said, "Brother Pan, you go with Fourth Brother."

Pan Er knew the whole plan. He was excited and worried just now. Hearing what Han Xiufeng said, he felt much more at ease. He said without thinking, "Okay, I'll go with Brother Six."



As soon as Jiang Liu and Pan Er left, Han Xiufeng ate the Guokui and thought over and over in his mind what to do next. Because his mind was not on eating, he ate very slowly. He chewed the Guokui slowly and didn't even know how to eat the Guokui.

It took me half an hour to eat.

Just as he was about to go outside the pavilion to take a look at the sky, the Sichuan porters were the fastest. The monkey who was usually responsible for helping Jiang Liu run errands and deliver messages came. He held the door and shouted: "Fourth brother, Sixth brother asked me to tell you, then

The deal seems to have been agreed upon, and the two families planning to buy the goods are asking the tea gang's turtle son to find his husband. It looks like he plans to carry the goods at night."

Han Xiufeng asked in a low voice: "Where are the three sellers?"

"It's still in the buyer's shop. We went in together and haven't come out yet."

"Does that shop have a back door?"

"Yes, but we have someone watching at the back door."

"That's good, let's go back." Han Xiufeng thought about it and shouted: "Wait!"

The monkey turned around and asked: "Fourth brother, what else do you want? Do you have anything to say to sixth brother?"

Han Xiufeng took out a few copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into his hand: "Nothing to say, just take these coins. You must be hungry after traveling such a long distance. There is a pot helmet seller in front of you. Go buy two pot helmets."

Eat on the road.”

"Thank you, fourth brother!"

The monkey ran away with joy. Not long after he ran away, Yu Youfu, who had gone back to inquire about Duan Jingcheng's family, came back, and Mr. Guan also came with him.

"Uncle Guan, you haven't had lunch either. You sit down and have a sip of tea. I'll buy some pot helmets for you and Uncle Yu."

"No need, I ate at Duan Jingcheng's house." Guan Baotou glanced at the river, then turned around and asked, "The Bronze Heavenly King hasn't arrived yet?"

"This time the official transport is very tricky. It seems that they are planning to come in the dark. They are afraid that coming in broad daylight will scare away the boatmen on the pier." Han Xiufeng also subconsciously looked at the river, and then came to Guan Tou'er.

He whispered a few more words.

Guan Captou was shocked: "How audacious! Do those turtle boys want their heads?"

"Uncle Guan, this is definitely not the first time. It's just that we didn't know about it before. It's not that we didn't know, but everyone from top to bottom was more fearful than the other. No one was too lazy to take care of it, and no one wanted to provoke the Copper Heavenly King."

"That's right, Ba County is only so big. As long as we want to know, there is nothing we can't find out." Guan Baotou nodded, thought about it and asked: "What are you going to do next?"

"Be polite before fighting. If he gives me face, I will give him face. If he doesn't give me face, then don't blame me for not giving him face!"

The Yunnan copper coined by the Jie Yun Beijing Bureau is similar to the official silver. Anyone who dares to do anything without being discovered by the court will be fine. If the court finds out, Yun Guan will be jailed at most, but other people involved will lose their heads and be arrested.

He was not at ease and said eagerly: "I know this, I mean why don't you give him face?"

"Business matters," Han Xiufeng smiled and whispered a few more words into his ear.
