It was late at night, and when many people had fallen asleep, the head of the Song family secretly led his people away from the Song Mansion.
Tonight, he has an extremely important transaction to complete. Once it is done, he will be able to obtain a considerable amount of funds and then transfer it to Guangyang County.
Half of the people in the Song Mansion came out just to ensure the smooth progress of the transaction.
In addition to the people from the Song family who participated in the transaction, Wei Zhuangzhe and Zhang Zhongjie from the Pang family also brought their own men.
When the three forces met, Wei Zhuangzhe was the first to extend a hand, and Song Qianshi, the seller, enthusiastically shook it with both hands.
This is a buyer's market. After all, it's not just Song Qianshi who can provide "supplies".
What's more, he also wanted to establish a good relationship with Wei Zhuangzhe, so Song Qianshi appeared to be particularly respectful.
Butler Lao Xu looked around vigilantly, fearing that something might go wrong in the transaction.
"Okay, let's hand over the goods and pay for them." Wei Zhuangzhe said, and then Song Qianshi handed the "goods" to Wei Zhuangzhe.
In addition to the other party's requirements, Song Qianshi also specially selected two good-looking maids and gave them to Wei Zhuangzhe in his personal name.
"Master Wei, please accept these two maids. This is a small gift from Song to you. Please accept it." Song Qianshi raised the corners of his mouth, highlighting his obscene smile.
"Tsk..." Wei Zhuangzhe smacked his lips, revealing a look of disdain, but ultimately chose to accept the other party's kindness: "I'm not interested in women, but I'll accept it for now. Perhaps that gentleman will find other uses for it."
After saying that, Wei Zhuangzhe took out the silver and was about to hand it over to the other party, but he took it back and complained about the other party's delivery speed: "Your speed is not good enough. If I work so slowly under that master, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life."
"Why are you dawdling? Hurry up and hand the goods over to Master Wei!" Song Qianshi resisted the urge to take the silver, and instead turned it into an urge to his servants.
There must not be any disrespect in this transaction!
Just as the children were being handed over to Wei Zhuangzhe, a group of officials suddenly rushed out. One of them shouted, "We are Nai Rui and the town officials. How dare you traffic in people? This is a serious crime against the court!"
The participants in the transaction then discovered that they were surrounded and these government lackeys had set an ambush!
Song Qianshi clenched his fists, wondering which step he had taken wrongly.
Could it be that the old dog, Butler Xu, betrayed me?
"Song Qianshi! Zhang Zhongjie! How dare you plot against me! That lord will definitely not let you go!" After Wei Zhuangzhe finished speaking, he threw a ball-shaped object to the ground, and then the ball generated choking smoke.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem - you thieves, don't run!" The one who said this was the constable A Tao. When the smoke dissipated a little, Wei Zhuangzhe and his men had already fled, leaving only the Song and Pang families.
Zhang Zhongjie also started to panic at this time. He didn't want to be caught by the government.
You must know that the master of the Pang family has repeatedly warned the young master not to cause trouble. If he is caught, the young master will probably be implicated.
"Master Song, don't panic... Think of a way to see if you can solve this problem with money." Zhang Zhongjie tugged at Song Qianshi's sleeve.
Song Qianshi was very angry. He had thought that he was about to get the money from the transaction, but he didn't expect that the government would ruin his plan halfway.
But when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If you offend the officials, I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to turn the situation around.
"Dear officials, this is all a misunderstanding. Come on, why don't you all come to my house for a cup of tea first." Song Qianshi pretended to be calm, and then asked the housekeeper Lao Xu to give silver to the leading official.
"This... seems to be a new face. May I know your name, sir?" Butler Lao Xu presented silver to Chen Yunxuan. Judging from the other party's unusual uniform, he should be the newly appointed chief constable.
Chen Yunxuan gestured with his left hand to refuse, and with his right hand, he held a green sword. He said sternly, "We have witnesses and evidence, and you still want to bribe the police?"
"Tsk!" Song Qianshi became angry when he heard this.
He was so powerful in Yuwan County. If it weren't for that crazy guy Lu Ganhai, he wouldn't have fallen to the point of being scolded by a small official.
"Sir, this is not a good thing. After all, I have some reputation in this town! Could it be that you won't give me this face?" Song Qianshi became tough and tried to suppress the other party with his momentum.
Chen Yunxuan shook his head and pointed his sword at the other party: "I only care about facts, not reputation."
Seeing that the situation was about to break out and a war was inevitable, Zhang Zhongjie stepped forward and tried to ease the atmosphere. He said, "Oh, don't be angry, officer. Maybe everyone has some misunderstandings. Let me introduce them first..."
"No need to introduce! I, Gan, am aware of the reputation of Mr. Song." Gan Xingfan walked out from a group of officials, followed by several people.
It was dark at night, but Song Qianshi recognized the man by the light of the fire. It was Gan Xingfan, the mayor of Ruihe Town and the former leader of the Chuanxiang Rangers!
"Mayor Gan, I didn't expect you to come too. Are you looking for Song as well?" Song Qianshi suppressed his anger and still looked for an opportunity to reconcile.
To be able to mobilize so many people to surround them, he must have obtained Gan Xingfan's authorization.
A new official has three things to do when he takes office. Gan Xingfan is finally going to take action against the local forces. It seems that he wants to start the first fire on himself!
"Haha... Song Qianshi, do you still want to quibble? You have violated the laws of this dynasty, so surrender immediately!" Gan Xingfan shouted loudly.
Song Qianshi could no longer endure it. He didn't want to lose face with the government, but since Gan Xingfan didn't give him a chance, he shouldn't blame him for being unkind!
"Everyone, come on! I'll reward you handsomely after tonight!"
