Chapter 163 The sealed cargo yard

"You are a rare guest. Why are you here for me today?" Zhang Zong couldn't help but smile as he looked at Caesar who came to visit him early in the morning. This Caesar is different from the Nirvana Master. Except for business matters, he rarely comes to Zhang Zong, and his daily behavior is quite mysterious, and sometimes he can't find him even if he wants to find him.

At this time, Caesar showed a wry smile and bowed to Zhang Zong and said, "Brother Zhang, I am here today because I have something to ask for. I hope you can help me overcome this difficulty for my cousin's sake!"

"Oh? What difficulties have you encountered?" Zhang Zong also showed a surprised expression when he heard this, because through this previous contact, he found that Caesar was actually a very proud person and could not ask for help. This can be seen from the name he gave him.

"To be honest with Brother Zhang, we used to cooperate with the business, and my cousin and I also made a lot of money. We happened to meet a Tianzhu merchant in the Western Regions. He was stocking up a large number of spices. I saw that the business was good, so I invested all the money into this batch of spices. However, I didn't expect that as soon as I was transported to Chang'an, I was detained. But I had already sold the spices. If I couldn't deliver them, I'm afraid my cousin and I would have finished all my previous efforts." Caesar said again with a wry smile on his face.

"Who will detain your goods?" Zhang Zong also showed a surprised expression when he heard this. Although Master Ni Nie was just a Persian royal family in name only, he was recognized by Li Zhi after all, so he would give them some face on the face of the officials, at least he didn't have to worry about being deliberately made difficult for others when doing business.

"It's just our fault. There is a Zhou family cargo yard in the west city, and many people's goods will be stored there. But the day before yesterday, the Zhou family cargo yard was sealed by the people from Dali Temple, and the goods inside could not be taken out. I used all the useful relationships, and even my uncle came forward in person, but Dali Temple was very tough and no one's face was useless." Caesar said in the end, and looked helpless. If there was another way, he would not come to ask Zhang Zong.

"Dali Temple?" Zhang Zong also showed a look of surprise when he heard this, and at the first time he thought of Di Renjie. Although Di Renjie had been transferred to the position of the Censor, the position of Dali Temple was still on the same position. This was specially arranged by Feinusi for him. After all, having the position of Dali Temple is more convenient for him to do something openly without arousing doubt.

"Brother Zhang, I know you are close to the Censor Di Renjie, and the person who blocked the Zhou family's cargo yard this time is Censor Di, so can you tell me about the love and release our goods earlier?" Caesar hesitated for a moment and finally expressed his purpose.

"How do you know that I know Brother Di?" Zhang Zong suddenly frowned when he heard this, because he remembered that he did not introduce Di Renjie and Caesar to know each other.

"This... When I came to you before, I met Censor Di. I knew him before, but he didn't know me." Caesar hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Is that true?" Zhang Zong was a little suspicious when he heard this. If it were someone else, he might choose to believe it, but the Caesar in front of him was an unpredictable person, and he could only believe his words.

"Brother Zhang, don't doubt me. This business is really important. The spices have been sold by me in advance and the deposit has been collected. If we can't get the goods at that time, we may be bankrupt by compensation, so please be sure to help us!" Caesar asked again at this time, and he pulled the Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni at this time, and both of them were pulled together in his words, implying that Zhang Zong and Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni also owe a lot of debts.

Zhang Zong did not rush to agree, but touched his chin and pondered for a while before speaking: "Dali Temple will not block a cargo yard for no reason. There must be their reasons, so I dare not agree to you about this matter, so I can only ask you first."

"That's great. As long as Brother Zhang, you are willing to help, I will be grateful to you with my cousin!" Caesar said excitedly at this time. At this time, he no longer had any arrogance.

"By the way, Censor Di is in the Zhou family cargo yard now. Brother Zhang, do you want to meet him with me now?" Caesar then urged again. It seemed that he was really forced to do nothing, so as soon as Zhang Zong agreed, he urged Zhang Zong to find Di Renjie.

"Okay, it's okay now, but don't be anxious about this kind of thing. Even if I see Brother Di, I can't release the goods immediately." Zhang Zong thought about it but did not refuse, but gave the other party a vaccination in advance because he had guessed what case Di Renjie was going to investigate.

There was Caesar's carriage outside, and the two of them immediately came to the West Market again in the carriage. It was interesting to say that Zhang Zong rarely came to the West Market, but he has come here twice in a row in the past few days.

The Zhou family cargo yard is located in the northwest corner of the West City, and it occupies a large area and belongs to a great merchant named Zhou. Because of its large area, fair price, and good reputation, many merchants coming to the West City store will store goods here. After all, many goods are large and heavy, which is not convenient to carry, and there is a risk of loss. It is much safer to store them in the cargo yard.

However, the Zhou family cargo yard, which is usually crowded, is now extremely quiet. All exits are guarded by officers and soldiers, and no one is strictly prohibited from approaching. Some doors are covered with seals from Dali Temple. At the main entrance of the cargo yard, the guards here are even stricter, but there is no seal on the gate, and it is still half-closed. Through the gap, you can see someone moving in the cargo yard.

Zhang Zong got off the carriage and did not let Caesar follow him. Instead, he looked around and then stepped to the gate of the cargo yard. As a result, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate immediately stopped him.

"I am a scholar Zhang Zong, a scholar in Chongxian Pavilion, and he is an old friend of the Censor Di Renjie. Please report to me!" Zhang Zong also directly stated his identity.

Having an official body is indeed very useful. As soon as Zhang Zonggang revealed his identity, the vicious officers and soldiers immediately changed their faces. They immediately saluted politely, and then ran to the yard to report the news.

After a while, Di Renjie quickly walked out of the inside. When he saw Zhang Zong, he immediately approached him enthusiastically and said, "Brother Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Zong smiled and pointed to the cargo yard behind Di Renjie and whispered: "Is this... related to the case you investigated before?"
