Chapter 275 Smack smack, it's all money!

Wearing a mask, Wei Jingchen led his entourage to the dock.

"Young master, this is the ship!"

Old Qian knew everyone at the dock, dealing with the boatmen and passing ships every day.

That's why he got into the habit of talking trash, which made Lian Yin unhappy.

"Such a big ship?"

Even Wei Jingchen was surprised.

"Old Qian, are you kidding me? Even if the Hu family is rich, they wouldn't use a ship this big!"

Several people raised questions.

This kid, is he too much of a troublemaker and unreliable?

Could the Hu family own a ship larger than Tingyu Pavilion?

"It's true! This ship belongs to Xu Yangzhou, and the boatman said the owner is a prefect! So it must be the Yuan family's ship!"

Old Qian was extremely anxious.

Why don't you believe him?

Wei Jingchen gave Lao Qian a deep look.

He may be unreliable in his words, but he is still sensible in his actions.

"Let's go aboard and take a look!"

With their master saying this, the others naturally dared not say anything more.

The group of people climbed onto the boat stealthily, without alerting anyone.

It was dinnertime, the sun had just set, and it was around shift change time, so the guards were less vigilant.

Wei Jingchen made a hand gesture, and the troops split into three groups.

Old Qian led him to the cargo hold.

I had just stepped off the ship's cabin and taken only a few steps when I heard a sound coming from ahead.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly hid.

A short while later, two boatmen wearing boat clothes passed by.

They wore boatmen's vests, their skin tanned dark, but they carried large knives.

He moved with such agility that he didn't seem like a boatman.

More like a soldier!

In the shadows, Wei Jingchen and his companion exchanged a glance and made their judgment.

After they left, the two emerged from the shadows.

As we walked further in, we encountered patrolling people again.

Wei Jingchen's heart tightened, and he hid himself again.

The contents of this container are definitely not ordinary goods!

They walked and stopped repeatedly before finally managing to get into the cargo hold.

The cargo hold was piled high with boxes, an absurd number.

While Lao Qian kept watch outside, Wei Jingchen quickly opened the box.

It's fine if you don't look, but once you do, you'll feel numb.

The box was full of goods imported from foreign countries!

Isn't the Yuan family involved in business in Qingliu Lane?

When did we acquire the qualifications of a royal merchant?

Wei Jingchen calmly covered it back up and left the cargo hold with Lao Qian.

Below the boat, Lianyin and the others waited anxiously.

Seeing the two disembark, they quickly gathered around them.

"Young master, why have you taken so long? Has something happened?"

"Let's leave first and talk about it later."

The group quickly left the dock.

There is a small hut near the dock, which serves as a lookout point.

This is where Lao Qian usually lives, so he can keep an eye on what's happening at the dock.

"Young master, what exactly is inside?"

Lianyin was extremely anxious.

"These are all foreign goods, things that the Great Zhou doesn't have."

"You wouldn't believe it, the guards inside are incredibly tight! Their movements are nothing like those of ordinary boatmen!"

Old Qian was startled.

If it weren't for their exceptional lightness skills, they would have been discovered long ago!

"Could it be true, as Miss Yun Zhao said, that His Majesty intends to open up maritime trade?"

"The Empress is by the Emperor's side every day; perhaps she has discerned his thoughts."

The King of Yue must have had someone placed near the emperor; they first hid foreign goods at the small dock.

As soon as news of the reopening comes out, they will be able to be the first to take the lead.

Wei Jingchen became even more certain that Yun Zhao's news was true.

"Young master, what do we do now? There are too many people on their ship, and we can't detain so many people."

They originally intended to detain the person.

It's already a miracle that they haven't turned the tables on us.

"Even if we could catch them, we'd be afraid of alerting them."

A moment of silence fell over everyone.

"Don't act rashly."

Wei Jingchen was wary of the Yuan family, so he naturally wouldn't easily take action against them.

Meanwhile, Yun Zhao had already arrived at the ship's side, led by Xiao Ying.

With her small frame, she naturally couldn't climb up.

She looked up at the towering ships and fell into deep thought.

They said this was the Yuan family's ship, and that the Yuan family was very rich.

This ship is even bigger than the one at Tingyu Pavilion!

Without much thought, Yun Zhao immediately used his spatial ability to investigate.

Oh wow!

There were lots of goods inside, and they were all foreign goods!

You, King of Yue, have squandered so much of the people's wealth and used it all up here, haven't you?

She climbed onto Scarface's back and quickly left.

After running about fifty feet, she quickly moved the items from the cargo hold into her spatial storage.

"Let's go, let's go quickly!"

Scarface quickly led Yun Zhao back to her little house.

After wiping the claws clean, she quickly lay down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and lay down.

serene.

Soon, a cacophony of noise erupted, and the entire dock descended into chaos.

While Wei Jingchen and the others were still figuring out what to do, the docks were already in chaos.

"What happened?"

As the group approached the window, they saw that the Yuan family's boat was brightly lit.

"Quickly, let's go back first."

Everyone quickly left Old Qian's house.

Several people came with torches and knocked on the door.

"What are you doing! Are you making a funeral noise?"

Old Qian rubbed his messy hair, opened the door, and angrily cursed.

"Our belongings were stolen. Does your dock management care about this?"

"What the heck?"

Old Qian couldn't keep up the act any longer and instantly perked up.

"The whole ship was stolen!"

The boatman was furious.

With so much stuff, wouldn't the owner kill it all?!

Old Qian has gone mad too.

They haven't figured out what to do yet!

Who has the audacity to steal a boat?!

"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"

Old Qian didn't even have time to put on his coat; he walked out shirtless.

Passing by the room of Tingyu Pavilion, the group came out looking as if they had been woken up.

"What's going on? I just went to bed, and this is so noisy!"

Lian Yin held two swords, her expression suggesting she would kill them if they didn't give her an explanation.

"Their goods were stolen!"

Old Qian pretended to be annoyed.

"Which punk is causing trouble on my turf? I'll kill him!"

Meanwhile, the little scoundrel was fast asleep in bed.

Smack smack, it's all money!

Yun Zhao scratched his face, turned over, and continued sleeping.

At the dock, everyone worked hard all night.

Forget about thieves, we didn't find a single hair.

As soon as they approached Yun Zhao's house, the roars of wild beasts could be heard from inside.

Whose house is this?

Someone asked.

Wei Jingchen, wearing a mask, stepped forward.

"This is my room in Tingyu Pavilion. I keep a tiger here."

"You want to go in? I dare not go in, please do as you wish."

After saying that, he stepped aside, giving the impression that he wouldn't care if anything happened to them.

Everyone choked for a moment.

"Raise, a tiger?"

They must have misheard.

My younger sister once saved a tiger on the mountain, and the tiger has been following her ever since to repay her kindness.

Even I dare not approach. If you all wish to search the house,

Please go ahead, but Tingyu Pavilion will not be responsible for any injuries.

Everyone: ...

"Ha, ha, I don't think this room looks like it can hold that many goods..."

One of them chuckled dryly.

"I think so too..."

Who dares to go in?

No, no!

"roar--"

Just then, a tiger's roar came from inside the house, scaring everyone away.

Yun Zhao was also "timely" awakened, rubbing his eyes and quietly opening the door.

"Who is it? Who is it?"

The little dumpling stood there timidly, with a red mark pressed against its cute little face.

Lianyin exclaimed "Oh!" and stepped forward to pick up the little dumpling.

"You're so cute!"

She rubbed the little dumpling's face and let out a soft scream.

"Waaah—Sister Lianyin~"

The little dumpling angrily buried its head in Lianyin's neck and chuckled.

"Sister (╯▽╰) smells so good~~"

Everyone: ...

What's going on with this little dumpling?

"Zhaozhao, you said your sister smells so good. Where in the Hu family's house did you smell this fragrance?"

Wei Jingchen asked in a low voice.
