The fifth day after meeting Song Shaobai.

Uncle Fu received a letter from his son.

Upon opening the envelope, Uncle Fu was dumbfounded—a merchant from the south would arrive in three days.

Hurry up and take the letter to find Chen Xian.

Uncle Fu was trembling all over. "Damn it, that son of Gu Junshan is a real cunning old fox! If it weren't for Brother Chen's ulterior motives, we would have been screwed over by this bastard!"

Chen Xian said calmly, "Fortunately, it's not too late!"

Then, smiling, he said to Uncle Fu, "As for the quality of the cloth and how to handle it, that's up to you, Brother Fu..."

Uncle Fu's chubby, round face narrowed slightly, forming a comical expression: "Hehehe... I understand."

The largest restaurant in town.

Song Shaobai casually raised his finger, drunkenly asking the person next to him, "Has the Baixing Cloth Shop made any moves yet?"

"We're urging them!"

Song Shaobai smiled and said, "Brother, I had a dream last night... It's quite rare. I dreamt of a small fishing boat..."

Three days later.

Song Shaobai looked at the dozens of large boxes, neatly arranged, and winked at his attendants.

Those people remained calm and began to examine the items carefully.

But every time he tried to examine it more closely, the shop assistant at the cloth shop would smile and take out some silver, whispering, "Brother, these are all precious brocades. If you touch them, they're very likely to leave a stain."

"If it's alright, could I help you unfold the silk? Of course, it won't delay your inspection."

The attendant received a warm, smooth silver coin.

Pretending to be sophisticated, I followed their gaze and looked into the box. It was filled with brocade, but I couldn't make out any patterns.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the bottom layer seems to be a bit lighter in color.

The sight of his attendants' weapons glinting in his eyes from afar.

*Snap* The box closed.

The attendants thought it was just their imagination.

The shop assistant handed over more silver, which coincidentally blocked the box.

"From now on, our cloth shop's business will all depend on Young Master Song..."

These followers, looking quite pleased with themselves, were so flattered that they lost all sense of direction.

"Turn it off."

In the distance, Gu Junshan watched quietly, a smile playing on his lips.

The third young master said quietly, "Father, should we help Young Master Song inspect the goods?"

"No need. The Fu family just wants to do their first business properly. How could they possibly try anything sneaky?"

Think about the first time you opened your shop and greeted your customers. Didn't you treat your first customer with the utmost care, even giving them an extra slap when measuring the fabric?

Are you afraid of not doing a good job in business?

"To go now would be superfluous, like gilding a lily."

"Let's see how long that old man Fu can be so arrogant, and what about Chen Xian who's been standing right there!"

Is the Chen family also involved in this?

That's incredibly arrogant.

Song Shaobai calmly said, "According to the price we agreed on before, my price is six hundred coins per horse."

"Seven hundred bolts of Huanhua brocade, four hundred bolts of Fuguang brocade, and three hundred bolts of Cansi brocade, totaling eight hundred and forty taels."

Uncle Fu's breathing became heavier.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Song. You are truly a benefactor to our affordable cloth shop. You not only gave us Huanhua brocade, but also Fuguang brocade and Cansi brocade. Thank you so much."

Song Shaobai changed the subject, "How about this, you come with me to the inn to get the money for the goods, is that alright?"

Uncle Fu smiled and said, "Okay."

"I'll have my servant escort you to the city gate; you're a guest from afar!"

Song Shaobai chuckled lightly, "Manager Fu is too kind."

Meanwhile, the goods were moving slowly forward. The attendant called out, "Young master, we'll wait for you at the city gate. The goods are moving slowly, and we must get to work before dark, otherwise it will be too dangerous to travel."

Song Shaobai was about to ask Uncle Fu a question.

Seeing the other person smiling, he replied, "Of course!"

Song Shaobai replied with a smile, "Manager Fu, you are truly understanding!"

"Haha, not at all. Young Master Song is from a prominent family. He wouldn't be short of a few hundred taels of silver."

Wanlong Store is located near the river.

Song Shaobai invited Uncle Fu up.

Uncle Fu smiled and said, "No, I'll wait downstairs."

Song Shaobai's mind was stirred, and he nodded in agreement.

Before long, a white figure, like a gecko, quietly climbed down from the second floor through the gaps between the wooden planks.

Before long, they quietly went down into the river.

Song Shaobai scoffed, "A bunch of idiots!"

Suddenly a shadow fell over my head!

It turned out to be a small fishing boat, which had somehow appeared nearby.

A man squatted at the bow of the boat with a smile on his face, holding a fishing net in his hand.

"Hi, hello there, Young Master Song. It's so hot, are you planning to go somewhere to cool off?"

Song Shaobai stood there, stunned.

It suddenly disappeared into the water.

Chen Xian shook his head and said, "If the number is three and it doesn't come out, anyone who defrauds someone of ten taels can be prosecuted. If it's discovered that someone has a hundred taels, death or injury will not be considered."

Unfortunately, there was no response.

Chen Xian shook his head and said, "Why must I, an honest man, get my hands stained with blood?"

He gave the order: "Shuisheng, throw the harpoon!"

"Okay!"

Dozens of fishing boat crew members were also standing on both sides of the river.

The sound of a harpoon hitting the water.

Chen Xian kept casting nets and soon caught the pale-faced Young Master Song!

His buttocks and torso were covered in cuts, from which fresh blood was gushing out.

Song Shaobai grabbed Chen Xian's pants and cried, "Uncle, spare me! It was all arranged by the Gu family!"

"I know."

Song Shaobai was completely bewildered. He thought he had a bargaining chip to get the other party to spare his life, but now it seemed that something had gone wrong.
