Chapter 277 Are You Responsible?(2/2)
Zheng Dan stood up and said, "Azu, do you suspect that our Zheng family is smuggling salt?"
Zu Anxin thought that there was no need to be suspicious. It was obvious. He didn't expect that the Zheng family, as one of the four major salt merchants in Mingyue City, would also smuggle private salt secretly.
But think about it, most of Mingyue City's share is occupied by the Chu family, and the other three families and some smaller families have less than one-third of the share. It is indeed difficult to satisfy their appetites.
Of course, he didn't say it directly: "Of course not, but I'm worried that sometimes the people below are too bold and use the name of the Zheng family to do some dirty things. If it comes out in the future, it will be corrupted."
The Zheng family has a good reputation, so it’s better to check it out at this time.”
"Azu is still thoughtful." Zheng Dan smiled slightly, then turned to Hou Yun and said, "Uncle Hou, did you hear it? Just answer truthfully."
There was no emotion in her tone.
Zu An secretly admired, he didn't know if this woman was really innocent or pretending to be innocent. If she was fake, her acting skills would be too good.
"It's some cotton seeds and the like. A large part of the Zheng family's business is the cotton cloth industry, so it shouldn't be illegal to transport these, right?" Hou Yun was not in a good mood when he was suspected, so he directly resisted.
"Where are the customs clearance procedures or approval documents? Can you take a look at them?" Zu An stretched out his hand.
Sang Qian on the side couldn't help but glance at him. Didn't everyone say that this guy used to be an unlearned gangster? How come he knew these business details in such detail?
He just didn't understand. The yellow-letter class at Mingyue College really taught very little about spiritual practice, but taught a lot about some practical areas of life.
Many students found it boring, but Zu An listened carefully to everything he could in order to understand all aspects of the world.
If you want such bulk goods to enter and exit the port, you must have relevant approval documents before they can be released.
Hou Yun looked at Sang Qian inquiringly, and Sang Qian snorted: "It depends on what I am going to do. Today, Zu An represents Duke Ming Yue. I will do as he says."
"Yes, yes, yes~" Hou Yun hurriedly took out a warrant from his arms and handed it over.
Zu An checked it and found that it was indeed written that the goods leaving the port were cotton seeds and the like.
But he didn't completely believe it and walked directly to their cargo ship: "Open the cabin, I want to check."
Hou Yun's face changed: "But the goods have been loaded. If we open the cabin and reload it now, it will be delayed for at least another day. If the goods cannot be delivered on time, our Zheng family will have to lose money."
Zu An said coldly: "Open the cabin!"
With a wave of their hands, many guards of the Chu family have already secured various key points in the cabin. As long as they give an order, they will take action immediately.
Hou Yun also changed his expression at this time, and said sternly: "If nothing is found during the inspection, will you be responsible for the Zheng family's losses?"
