"Are you still going to Feng's Escort Agency now?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Of course, the Linjiang City Escort Agency and the restaurant are not owned by the same person, and the store I'm in is just one of dozens of branches. I'm just a small figure, and the people in the escort agency don't know me. You're a guest, and you haven't done anything bad, so you don't have to worry about anything!" said the waiter.
Of course Wang Xiaohai would not worry, but the waiter was wrong. Wang Xiaohai had done a lot of bad things and was now plotting to collect evidence against the Feng family, eliminate the harm to the people, and make a fortune!
The two men set out again. This was a wooded area with few people passing by. In that era, there were no cameras or photos, so it was extremely difficult to find out the truth about a person's death.
Half an hour later.
Finally we arrived at Feng's Escort Agency. It was located next to a riverside pier, occupying a large area. A huge tree had been cut into a flat surface, and the words "Feng's Escort Agency" were written in paint on the trunk.
There is a wide ancient road in front of the courtyard of Feng's Escort Agency. There are many carriages and horses passing by on the road, which seems to indicate that the business is good.
The waiter took Wang Xiaohai into Feng's Escort Agency and came to the reception desk.
There were two burly men and a steward wearing a hat at the reception desk.
Wang Xiaohai thought Minguo was really weird. Do middle and senior managers in business have to wear hats?
"Hello, I'd like to introduce a boss to escort the caravan." said the waiter.
The manager of the escort agency's eyes lit up. Although they were busy, these were all businesses they had taken in the past few days, with each order worth two to three thousand taels of silver. For some reason, fewer people came to them for escort in recent days.
"Are you the introducer?" the manager asked the waiter.
"That's right, I heard that this boss had goods that needed to be escorted, so I brought him here." The waiter pointed at Wang Xiaohai.
The steward took out an account book, opened it, dipped a brush in ink, and started writing.
"What is your name? What kind of goods do you want to escort? What is the delivery time? Do you want to bring it yourself or do you want us to transport it to the escort agency? Where is the destination? What is the total value?" The manager asked several questions in a row.
"Wang Xiaohai, you will help transport the tea to Mi Country in three days. It is worth 50,000 taels of silver." Wang Xiaohai replied quickly.
When the manager heard the 50,000 silver coins, his heart was pounding. This was a big deal! He was a little disappointed when he heard about Mi Country, because Mi Country was two countries away from Min Country, with high mountains and long roads. It was not their territory, so it was difficult to guarantee.
"This... Mi Country is a bit too far away. Our escort agency only transports goods out of Min Country. You can find another escort agency in the next country. If you don't know anyone, we can introduce you." said the manager.
"Is it far?" Wang Xiaohai didn't think it was far.
"It's really far. If you insist on sending it that far, our escort agency really can't take it." The manager replied.
Wang Xiaohai thought to himself, "Is the Feng Escort Agency really that legitimate and trustworthy? They wouldn't force themselves to agree to this just to keep the client if they knew it couldn't be done. This doesn't seem like the kind of agency that would collude with bandits!"
"Then just help me transport it out of Min Country. How much silver do you need?" Wang Xiaohai said.
"Will you pay for the rental of the car and boat or will we pay for it?" The manager wrote on the paper with a brush.
"How much are you offering?" Wang Xiaohai was too lazy to find a boat himself.
"Then we will charge you 5,000 taels for the escort fee plus 200 taels for the vehicle and boat rental, a total of 5,200 taels. Do you plan to pay now or upon delivery?" asked the steward.
"Just pay it now." Wang Xiaohai threw a silver note of ten thousand taels to the manager, which he got from the man with the mustache.
"Wait a minute." The manager took a big man into the backyard and came back after a while.
The steward handed a bill to Wang Xiaohai and said, "Three days later, bring this bill to the escort agency and we will send someone to pick up the goods with you. Oh, by the way, there are still 4,800 taels of silver left." The steward handed the remaining silver bill to Wang Xiaohai.
In fact, the silver note is of no use to Wang Xiaohai. The dimensional store will not accept it. It is only equivalent to the price of waste paper. The dimensional store will only accept goods that can be sold on other planets. This silver note is just waste paper once it leaves Min Country.
Wang Xiaohai took it and left the escort agency. He saw the waiter go and talk to the manager, probably asking for his introduction fee.
Wang Xiaohai was not worried at all that the escort agency would cheat him out of his money and not help him transport the goods. On the contrary, he really hoped that they would do so, so that he would have a reason to take action against their escort agency. Then, he would investigate all of Feng's assets from the details to the whole, and find out the truth about the old priest and his family. Isn't this what he, the inspector, does?
Wang Xiaohai flew back to the central area of Linjiang City in just one second and found an inn to stay in.
There has been a lot going on recently and Wang Xiaohai has not had time to calm down. He checked the storage ring in the inn and carefully estimated the total value of the treasures and silver inside - about 8.2 billion taels of silver.
"If I work hard, I still need 1.8 billion to buy the perfect martial arts secret book." Wang Xiaohai turned off the light of the storage ring.
By the way, this was the first dark night he had experienced since he came to this continent. He had been unconscious due to hunger before, so it didn't count as an experience.
Wang Xiaohai opened the window of the inn. The sky was pitch black. Not only could he not see the moon and satellites, but he couldn't even see the starry sky. He sighed and closed the wooden window carved with flowers. The night was too low and a little fake. He didn't like it. He just needed to fly higher and it would be daytime again!
When you are bored, time passes very quickly, and three days passed quickly.
Within three days, Wang Xiaohai bought a lot of food and clothes in the shopping street and put them all in the storage ring. He was prepared for any eventuality. With enough food, he could travel far enough in space because he could replenish his supplies while flying.
He couldn't travel in space right now because of the supergiant's strong gravity. He felt that to escape the supergiant, he would need to reach a second cosmic velocity of over 10,000 kilometers per second! His current speed was simply impossible to achieve unless he reached the rank of Demigod on this planet or found a spaceship capable of interstellar travel.
Wang Xiaohai took the bill to Feng's Escort Agency. The agency sent several carriages to follow Wang Xiaohai to the warehouse of Xu's Tea Industry. He confirmed the handover with the steward of the Xu Mansion, and then the carriage team went to the dock in a mighty manner.
The porter kept shouting, "Feng, mighty and famous!"
When passersby saw this, they all dodged to the side, fearing that if they looked at the goods for a second longer they would be suspected of being robbers and have their heads chopped off by the escort.
Loading cargo at the dock was rather boring. Wang Xiaohai stared at the busy crowd at the dock in a daze, thinking about how he lived in a technologically civilized society, seeing huge robotic arms and truck forklifts moving cargo. It was a bit uncomfortable to go back to the era of manual labor. However, it looked a bit fresh and novel, like an old photo. Although it was outdated, it still made people reminisce and feel nostalgic for the years and time.
Wang Xiaohai's state of mind was also baptized.
"Boss, your goods have been loaded. Shall we start the escort?" The escort in charge of this trip walked up to Wang Xiaohai and asked. Two men in the escort agency uniforms stood beside him with expressionless faces.
"Let's get started."
