Chapter 218 Liu Family Evidence

"Boss Song, can't you give me some face?"

The head of the Liu family looked at the young man standing at the bow, and then looked around, "I, Liu, owe you a favor this time, how about that?"

"Nothing."

Song Jin acted a bit youthful and vigorous. "Master Liu is a forgetful person. He just robbed a batch of my goods, and now there is another theft incident. He is also searching my boat. Is this a drama directed and acted by himself? Is he deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

"Robbery?"

Patriarch Liu looked at the big ship where Song Jin was, "Is there a misunderstanding?"

He glanced at his confidant beside him.

The confidant's eyes flickered, and he walked past the head of the Liu family and whispered, "Second Master bought a batch of goods from the Ryukyu merchants before, and it is said that they are going to sell them to the Jifang caravan."

The head of the Liu family was filled with anger.

The second wife has been acting more and more outrageous recently.

Since the Liu family had taken over their business first, it was normal that they did not allow them to search.

However, the head of the Liu family would not admit anything in public. "Competition is inevitable in doing business. As long as you don't steal or rob, and don't break the law, it's not wrong. You are still young, and things like this are very common in the business world."

"Thank you for your advice, Master Liu."

Song Jin bowed to the head of the Liu family without much sincerity.

After the formalities were completed, she said indifferently: "A person should have integrity. My own boat, why should I let the Liu family search it?"

"What do you want?" asked the head of the Liu family again.

Song Jin continued, "Unless the government comes to search, we will cooperate unconditionally."

There is nothing wrong with this statement!

The other merchants and crew members immediately cheered.

"good!"

"Well said!"

"That's what we mean. Why do we have to search whenever we want?"

"We are businessmen, but the Liu family is not?" As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of boos all around.

The head of the Liu family's face turned pale and blue.

At this moment, a man dressed as a butler hurriedly came to the ear of the Liu family master and whispered a few words. While speaking, he also glanced at Song Jin.

Song Jin had reason to guess.

The other person is talking about himself.

"Are you sure that this person named Song Huaijin is related to Wang Yongquan?" The head of the Liu family looked even worse.

The new Governor Wang actually has a connection with the Jifang fleet.

The butler said, "Admiral Shen stood up for them. The Ryukyu merchant named Yoshikawa sold another shipload of goods to Boss Song, at half the original price."

The head of the Liu family looked at Song Jin with scrutiny.

At this time, another middle-aged man in rich clothes came over and said arrogantly, "Brother, why are you talking so much nonsense to them? Just search them directly. If you keep waiting like this, won't you let them escape?"

"Shut up."

The head of the Liu family turned around and glared at him.

The discussion was on Song Jin's side, and Song Jin had the support of Governor Wang behind him.

It was their fault for forcing their way in.

When Song Jin goes to the government office to report to the authorities, the Liu family will not end up well. No one knows how the head of the Liu family feels at the moment. If the Liu family does something behind the scenes, it will be enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.

Patriarch Liu gritted his teeth and said, "The lost items are too important and must be found. Are you sure the person disappeared at the dock?"

"The person was chased here and disappeared."

Master Liu said anxiously.

Pah! The head of the Liu family slapped him in the face and said with anger in his eyes: "Asshole! I will settle the score with you after this matter is settled."

Patriarch Liu turned around and left.

He left in a hurry.

Master Liu was stunned by the beating, and when he came to his senses he hurriedly chased after him.

On the contrary, the man who looked like a butler and the guards of the Liu family did not withdraw, but stood guard in front of each boat.

This means we won't stop defending until the thieves are defeated.

Looking at the entire dock, there were Liu family members guarding every distance. Even if you didn't ask, you could guess that the exits of the dock must be blocked by the Liu family.

Song Jin glanced at the surrounding sea again.

In the distance, there are twinkling stars, and each light represents a fishing boat.

The Liu family was able to mobilize so many fishing boats and so many people in such a short period of time. Just thinking about it, you can tell that it is not easy.

The Liu family is likely mobilizing hidden forces at sea to intercept ships leaving the port.

This won’t work if you don’t search it.

The fishing boats almost surrounded the pier.

If they don't get out of the way.

It is really impossible to do without a cargo ship, unless we collide with it directly, which would result in a homicide and a lawsuit.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jin looked solemn, turned around and led people into the cabin, "A businessman supports so many people, how come no one thinks there is a problem?"

"Even if people know there is a problem, they won't say it out loud."

Xing Lun added.

Zhou Wei also said: "I don't know what the Liu family lost. It looks very important. Even the head of the family came out. Jianning is not close to here."

"He showed up so quickly, most likely he's in Fuzhou and had hidden his whereabouts earlier. He might be doing something right now." Qin Ba touched his chin, secretly thinking about this possibility.

Xing Lun added: "I don't know who the person being hunted is, and what he stole that caused the Liu family to make such a fuss."

Qin Ba never returned to his room.

It is not yet known whether that person is Qin Yi.

The three of them got together to talk about this matter, and they made all kinds of speculations.

Song Jin listened.

He turned back to his single room.

Sure enough, Qin Qi and Qin Yi were still waiting for her.

The things in the room had been cleaned up and the smell of blood had almost dissipated, but there was still some smell of medicine.

Song Jin took out some pepper as incense.

Use the aroma of pepper to cover up the previous smell.

Qin Yi only wanted to say, Madam is so extravagant.

Pepper is such an expensive thing, but it is used like this. He had heard earlier that some ministers used pepper to fumigate clothes, and now seeing Song Jin using it like this, he also felt sad.

You should know that one pound of pepper costs more than ten to twenty taels of silver.

Song Jin asked, "The Liu family made such a big move today. If I tell Governor Wang or Lieutenant General Shen about it, will they suspect the Liu family?"

"There are many large escort agencies in Jianning and Fuzhou, and the masters behind them are all the Liu family. When the head of the Liu family goes on a long journey, they usually tell others that they have hired escorts to protect them. Apart from the so-called accompanying servants and guards, it seems that there are more people, but they are all legitimate. It is difficult to find fault with them by using this."

Qin Yi came here to investigate the Liu family.

More than Song Jin knew.

The head of the Liu family is cunning and treacherous.

It is almost impossible to find fault with him openly.

It is better to find faults with the people around him than to find faults with him, such as the second master of the Liu family.

He has a bad character and has always been holding back the head of the Liu family.

Song Jin checked Qin Yi's bag.

There are three account books and a list.

It was not an ordinary account book, but an account book of the Liu family's private mining of minerals, making of weapons and selling them to pirates. It was not just about selling weapons, but also food, medicinal materials, cloth and other items. One of the books even recorded which merchant ship the pirates helped the Liu family intercept and how much they divided the spoils.

The Liu family came to Fuzhou this time to do business with Ryukyu merchants.

In fact, it is also for the purpose of keeping the transaction secret.
