Chapter 208 Director

Chen Shiyi asked in confusion.

"Why does the sea route need to obtain the consent of private merchants? Can't the government make the decision?"

Huang Tongwei replied.

"These big merchants used to make a living by fishing at sea, but by chance, they accidentally ran into the ancient Luo Kingdom. They found this route. Afterwards, they each did their own thing and never told outsiders about the route until the government found them. They reluctantly gave the route map to the government, but if others want to conduct maritime trade, they must get their consent."

Chen Shiyi frowned slightly.

"That means that even if I buy the ship, I can't do any maritime business without their consent, is that right?"

"Yes."

"Then what's the point of me buying this boat?"

Huang Tongwei hurriedly comforted Chen Shiyi.

"You can find them and get the route pass..."

Chen Shiyi smiled.

"I don't think they would agree. Who would give the meat in their bowl to others to eat? No one would do such a stupid thing."

Chen Shiyi suddenly thought of a question.

"The client who wanted to build this ship should have obtained the route permission first. Otherwise, he would not have dared to build such a large ship. He died suddenly during the journey. Maybe some maritime tycoon did not want him to do it. I am afraid that the matter is not that simple."

Huang Tong sighed helplessly.

I finally found a buyer, but I'm afraid it will all go to waste again.

Chen Shiyi asked again.

"Your parents should have followed this route as well. I wonder if your parents' accident was also related to these big merchants?"

Huang Tongwei suddenly felt frightened.

"They went out with other people. Before they left, they told me that they could make a big deal. I never thought of murder."

Chen Shiyi knocked on the table with both hands.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. After all, I'm not very familiar with things at sea."

Huang Tongwei's face looked very pale.

"Yes, yes, apart from these few tycoons, no one else in the whole of Wonju has taken this path to success."

Chen Shiyi thought.

"Your parents probably got the consent of the government officials. After those people knew about it, they didn't dare to offend the government officials, but they dared to kill them privately."

Huang Tong clenched her palms tightly, feeling extremely angry.

Chen Shiyi thought about it.

"Let's put the boat issue aside for now. Let me think about it."

The next day, several people followed Chen Shiyi to Yuanzhou Prefecture.

She wanted to find out about several sea overlords.

On the second floor of a restaurant not far from Yuanzhou Maritime Customs, Chen Shiyi, Uncle Fu Yuan, Bailing, and Yue Zhi were having dinner.

As they ate, she found that Boyuan was always absent-minded and his face was pale.

"Bo Yuan, what's wrong?"

Bo Yuan shook his head and continued to eat.

His hands were shaking a little as he picked up the food.

Chen Shiyi looked puzzled and went in the direction where Bo Yuan was looking. He saw a man in a dark green robe toasting with others.

Chen Shiyi suddenly understood. No wonder Bo Yuan had that expression.

Even if this man turned into ashes, Chen Shiyi would still recognize him.

She walked slowly over and spoke to the man in green.

"What a fate! I can see old friends here."

The man in green raised his eyes and saw Chen Shiyi. His previously unruly look turned into a look as if he had seen a ghost.

He spoke awkwardly.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, long time no see..."

This person was none other than Shen Wuyang, the owner of Yinhelou who burned down Qinyunlou.

Seeing that Chen Shiyi didn't seem to be planning to leave, he quickly found an excuse to leave the table and followed Chen Shiyi.

Chen Shiyi picked up a stool.

"Sit down."

Shen Wuyang sat down, raised his eyes and saw Bo Yuan opposite him, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Bo Yuan, I can meet you here too."

Bo Yuan felt a little disgusted when he looked at that face.

Chen Shiyi glanced at Bo Yuan soothingly, then turned to Shen Wuyang and spoke.

"Before, I gave Uncle Nine the face and didn't do anything to you, but this time you can't escape."

Shen Wuyang immediately choked up.

"Master Chen, please forgive me. It's been more than a year, and the master has already punished me."

Chen Shiyi asked with a soft laugh.

"How should I punish you? Should I transfer you here? You're living a pretty good life, drinking good wine and having beautiful women by your side..."

Shen Wuyang immediately shook his head.

"No, I'm really pitiful now."

Chen Shiyi was eating the rice in the bowl.

"You're pitiful?"

"It's true. Since you released me last time, Uncle Ninth Prince no longer uses me. He transferred me to this remote place where I am exposed to the sun and rain. I can't adapt to the local climate and I am sick. I haven't had a good meal in a long time."

He complained to Bo Yuan again.

"Bo Yuan, please ask your employer to spare my life for me."

Bo Yuan raised his eyes and looked at him, then turned to look at Chen Shiyi, his voice hoarse.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Chen Shiyi glanced at the green clothes on him and asked in confusion.

"What are you doing here now?"

"I work as a clerk in the Maritime Customs."

Chen Shiyi sighed.

"You are still lying to me. The person wearing the green shirt with you just now, the people next to you called the director, Uncle Ninth Prince protected you so much in the past, and even did me a favor for you, how could he not use you?"

"Do you think I'll believe you?"

Shen Wuyang finally took off his disguise and straightened his back.

"Mr. Chen has a keen eye. He can hide nothing from you."

Chen Shiyi laughed.

"Well, the higher the official rank, the easier it is to handle. I'm telling you, I will ask you to pay back all the damages caused by the burning of Qinyun Building. Don't think about running away or doing anything else. Remember, you can run away, but you can't."

Shen Wuyang's face looked a little unhappy.

"Mr. Chen, is it that serious? You have so much money now, why do you have to make things difficult for me?"

"It's my business that I have money. It has nothing to do with you. But we can't just let it go like this."

Shen Wuyang returned to the house where he lived, sighing.

I really did something bad, but God will see the consequences!

Even in such a remote place, he could still run into that woman. She was simply the nemesis of his life.

Last time, after the master came back, he scolded me severely.

The master warned himself that he should not touch this woman, Chen Shiyi, or he would be skinned alive if he did.

When had he ever seen his master value a woman so much?

No, what's special about her?

As for her looks, she can only be considered pretty, and it seems that she doesn't have any other advantages.

He still can't understand it.

He recalled what Chen Shiyi had said in the restaurant today.

She has a boat and wants to take the government's sea route, so let him figure out a solution.

He was so angry that he laughed.

Let him figure out a way to deal with her problem.

Who is she?

He tossed and turned all night, and the next day, with dark eyes, he went to the Maritime Customs to inquire about the sea shipping line.
