Chapter 221 The Thief Jumped into the Sea
Half an hour.
Song Jin saw the apology sent by the Liu family, and said that the batch of goods that the Liu family had previously stolen was also compensation.
From the words of the person who brought the gift, I learned that the Liu family was worried that Song Jinzhen would go to see Governor Wang.
Song Jin asked someone to keep the apology.
That batch of goods was also accepted in full.
Song Jin's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Is that batch of goods still at the dock?"
“Still.”
Xing Lun pointed to a cargo ship not too far away, next to the Yoshikawa cargo ship, and said, "The cargo is on that ship. It should be the ship of the second master of the Liu family."
"Let someone move the goods to our ship, so as to avoid any more trouble at night."
Song Jin gave the order immediately.
The Liu family's confidant who came to give gifts was full of contempt.
It turns out that he is short-sighted.
The hard work of moving goods can be done by asking the dock porters.
Song Jin can be considered a generous boss.
The price offered was fair and the wages were paid on the spot.
Of course she wouldn't deliberately offer a high price.
That would break the rules of the dock. We would use the excuse that tonight's situation was special and give the highest price in the past according to the market price.
Xing Lun stared at the cabin and reported: "The cabins of several cargo ships docked are full, and some cargo has not yet been loaded."
Song Jin immediately said: "Why don't you quickly change a boat to load it? You still need me to take care of such a small matter."
Then, she said to Qin Yi who was beside her, "Go and keep an eye on it for me. Don't let those lazy guys slack off again. Focus on keeping an eye on that batch of goods."
After saying that, he winked at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi immediately understood what he meant.
He jumped onto a full cargo ship, then left the dock, sailed out to the sea a hundred feet away and dropped anchor, then changed to an empty cargo ship and sailed into the dock for docking.
After the ship was safely docked, the workers began loading cargo.
All this was done under the eyes of the Liu family.
The Liu family also searched the cargo ships that left the dock, and even opened and inspected the large boxes containing the cargo.
Only after they were sure there were no Tibetans did they let them pass.
Song Jin looked calm.
He didn't care at all about the Liu family's search.
Originally, Song Jin threw the Liu family into the sea. The Liu family was somewhat dissatisfied with her, but now they can't say anything wrong.
Just like that, under the eyes of the Liu family, Qin Yi left with the cargo ship and got out of the Liu family's encirclement.
It went incredibly smoothly.
Even Qin Yi felt like he was dreaming!
Don't ask why the Liu family didn't check the cargo ship anchored at sea. If the Liu family really dared to do that, others would definitely suspect their purpose. Because no matter how hard the thieves tried to escape, they couldn't hide on a large ship hundreds of feet away from the shore.
When Qin Yi fled to the dock, it was not yet completely dark.
When the Liu family formed an encirclement, the ships floating on the sea were also excluded.
The head of the Liu family was afraid of the new Governor Wang, so Song Jin's cargo ship could leave the dock and continue loading.
Checked it over and over again.
There is no way a living person can hide from it.
The head of the Liu family arranged spies to secretly monitor Song Jin's every move.
Song Jin had known about it for a long time, but pretended not to know. He glanced at a certain place in the cabin, and then gave Xing Lun a dark look.
Xing Lun was indeed the one who had been with Song Jin the longest, and he could guess her thoughts very well. He pretended to be angry and said, "Boss, the Liu family is too much. Why are you still cooperating with them? You sealed the box and opened it again. I wonder if the goods inside are damaged."
"If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. The Liu family can investigate if they want. Besides, they are offering too much. I cannot refuse. I feel sad just thinking about refusing."
Song Jin's unreliable tone made people feel angry.
It really deserves a beating! Xing Lun wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud, "Yeah, if the boss hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought that the goods from Yoshikawa are worth tens of thousands of taels. I will only make more money after selling them."
"The generous Master Liu!"
Song Jin said this without complaint, "It will be fine if this happens a few more times."
"Isn't the boss afraid of making trouble?"
"We can get money, so what's the big deal? We're going through a lot of trouble just to do business."
Song Jin seemed to have gotten an advantage but still felt it was not enough, which made the people who heard it in the dark speechless.
Come to think of it.
He received tens of thousands of taels of silver in compensation for just this little bit of trouble. Not to mention others, even he was jealous.
Suddenly, "Who's there?!"
Qin Qi came out of the cabin and suddenly shouted angrily.
Song Jin on the deck suddenly pretended to be very nervous.
Qin Ba, Xing Lun and others instantly stood in front of Song Jin.
Just at this moment, there was only a faint light in the corner where the light could not reach.
A figure flashed by, climbed over the guardrail without hesitation, and jumped down.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
With a splash, the man fell into the water.
The night is dark.
The sea breeze blows in my face.
Song Jin walked a few steps to the guardrail and looked down.
There was no sign of the intruder on the water surface, and the tense atmosphere seemed about to explode.
Song Jin immediately shouted, "Someone come! Someone from the Liu family come quickly! The thief is here, he just jumped into the water!"
"The Liu family, someone from the Liu family, come quickly!"
Xing Lun also shouted loudly.
Other people on the boat also saw it.
A masked thief in night clothes jumped off the boat and into the sea.
The neighboring Liu family on the dock were attracted.
They came over to investigate. Several fishing lights illuminated the place brightly. Many people were already searching on the water.
After a lot of effort, we finally caught the guy.
Wearing night clothes, he wanted to explain that he was sent by the head of the Liu family, but he couldn't say the words for a moment. He could only allow the other party to catch him, tie him up, and take him away.
Song Jin looked frightened and said, "The Liu family is really powerful. They caught the thief so quickly. How come we searched so many times before but couldn't find the thief? It's really strange. Could there be a traitor in the Liu family?"
This was said unintentionally.
Those who listen are interested! The head of the Liu family, who had rushed here in a hurry and had not rested, was so angry that he almost bit his silver teeth.
There must be a traitor in the Liu family.
Otherwise, how could the things he hid in Fuzhou Villa be stolen so easily? Song Jin was at the bow.
Greeted the head of the Liu family from a distance.
"Master Liu! Thanks to your people, we found the thief so quickly. If he had stayed here, our safety would have been at risk."
Song Jin generously complimented him.
This attitude is much better than before.
The head of the Liu family didn't say much, but signaled Song Jin to lower the board.
Song Jin shouted at Xing Lun who was beside him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and have someone lower the planks. You have no vision at all."
Xing Lun also smiled and lowered his head, then went over to have someone lower the plank.
Welcome the head of the Liu family onto the boat.
The head of the Liu family boarded the ship with more than ten guards.
"Master Liu, how about we have a cup of tea together? Maybe next time we come here, we can do business with you. I have heard a lot about Jianning's Tongxin Bailian, and I have always wanted to buy some to give as gifts."
Song Jin had a smile on his face, but these words were not what a human being would say.
As soon as the head of the Liu family heard this, he knew that the other party had set his sights on the Tongxin White Lotus and wanted to get involved.
Now is the harvest season for white lotus.
If Song Jin's fleet returned via the Jianjiang (i.e. Minjiang) waterway, it would have to pass through Jianning Prefecture.
The reason why Song Jin could greet the head of the Liu family so calmly on the boat was largely because the real thief Qin Yi was not on the boat and had already escaped from the encirclement of the Liu family.
The trouble here is just right to attract the attention of the Liu family.
