Ah Wei's worries are indeed correct, but in the eyes of the second master, he has nothing to worry about. He is even less worried that the woman will find the government, because the government has been bribed by him long ago and will not investigate this matter.
He might also be tipped off.
Ah Wei was only worried, but he didn't know that this batch of goods must be sent out. Because he needs money. Although the Luo family's business is not small, he sends out a lot of money every year, plus the money used for shopping.
He also subsidized it himself. The most important thing was the officials in the capital. If he delayed any longer, he would miss the day to send money.
On the dock, he had already asked Ah Wei to arrange manpower, and would not let them take action unless it was absolutely necessary.
There were not many workers in the Zhao family, and almost all of them were from the Luo family after leaving the ship. What else was there to worry about? After the arrangements were made, the sun had already set. At this time, the second master felt a little hungry.
After the second master said hello to the shopkeeper, he returned to Luo Mansion. Yesterday, the second master did not go back. After entering the house, Mrs. Luo found that the second master's face was not very good, so she greeted him and said: "Second master, you
Why does your face look so ugly? Did you not have a good rest last night? Did you not have dinner yet?"
Mrs. Luo has become much gentler recently, which surprised the second master. Seeing that Mrs. Luo is very virtuous, he said, "I stayed in the shop all night last night, and I haven't eaten dinner yet."
"Fortunately, I made preparations in advance, and the food is still warming on the stove. Second Master, please wash your hands first. Can I have someone prepare it immediately?" Mrs. Luo asked.
"good."
Second Master Luo had been tired for a day, so he was naturally very moved when he heard his wife greeting him. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the food was brought in. The maid brought the last dish and said: "Second Master, these are all done by the wife herself."
Made by the chef."
"You are interested." Mr. Luo said.
The lady didn't say anything, she just smiled.
Normally, if he spends the night outside, as soon as he returns home, his wife will sarcastically ask him where he has been, and she will also make a fuss with him. In recent days, his wife has been so gentle, and even specially prepared meals for him?
Mr. Luo looked at his wife and wondered what she had planned in her mind. Maybe she just wanted to wait until he was full before asking?
It wasn't until Mr. Luo put down the bowls and chopsticks that the lady asked the servants to bring the tea and fruits. The lady said, "I will tell the slave to boil water. After you drink the tea, go take a bath and change clothes and rest early. Look.
You look exhausted too, so take care of yourself."
"Thank you ma'am."
After Mr. Luo drank tea, he went to take a bath and change clothes. Mrs. Luo did not force Mr. Luo to stay in the main courtyard as usual, but instead stayed in a side room while he was bathing.
The second master entered the inner room and found no one in the room, so he called the maid and asked, "Where is your wife?"
"My wife hopes that the second master will have a good rest. She couldn't bear to disturb you, so she stayed in the side room. I'm afraid she has fallen asleep by now, so the second master should have a rest earlier," the maid said.
Madam suddenly became so considerate, which Mr. Luo had never expected. He never expected that after more than ten years together, Madam would change her temper.
However, he was indeed a little tired today, so he turned off the lights and took a rest early.
However, Aunt Hu in the backyard did not want to miss this opportunity. The second master did not stay at Luo Mansion yesterday, but after returning today, he stayed in the main courtyard. Of course she was not willing to accept it, so she sent her maid to invite the second master to the backyard.
"Second Master, Aunt Hu is feeling a little unwell. Please ask Second Master to come over and have a look." The maid said after entering the main courtyard and standing at the door.
"If you don't feel well, go see a doctor." The second master said.
"My aunt wants to see you." The maid continued.
The second master was originally very tired, and he had been worried about what would happen tomorrow morning. At this time, he felt a little bored after hearing what the maid said, so he said, "Tell your master, if you can't sleep, just copy the scriptures."
Seeing that the second master refused to come out, the maid left the main courtyard in dejection. In the past, whenever he stayed elsewhere, Aunt Hu would send someone to invite him over. He had long been accustomed to Aunt Hu's willfulness, and in addition
Aunt Hu is indeed very charming,
He couldn't refuse. Maybe he was a little tired today. After hearing the maid's request, he felt bored for the first time.
Because he had made an appointment to go to the pier in person, he got up before dawn. What he didn't expect was that his wife also got up and even made porridge, waiting for him to have breakfast.
"Second Master, even if you don't eat anything, just drink a bowl of porridge before leaving." The lady said.
"When did you get up?" asked the second master.
"After you came back last night, the housekeeper said that you would be leaving early tomorrow morning, so I got up early and cooked porridge," the lady said.
After the second master drank the porridge, he set off immediately. The carriage stopped when passing by the tea house. Awei got on the carriage, explained to the second master, and then continued to set off.
After arriving at the pier, the second master got off the carriage, but he did not see the figure of the young master of the Zhao family. After waiting at the pier for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage of the young master of the Zhao family slowly came.
"Second Master, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I got up late this morning." The young master of the Zhao family said apologetically.
"I didn't wait long," the second master said.
The young master of the Zhao family pointed behind the second master and said, "Is this the only batch of goods?"
"Yes." Second Master said.
"It seems that it is right to ask the second master to add more manpower. We should arrange for people to deliver the goods to the ship quickly." The young master of the Zhao family said.
Soon, the guys helped to lift five or six large wooden boxes onto the boat. The young master of the Zhao family said: "Second Master, this batch of goods seems to be different from the last one."
"What's different?" Mr. Luo immediately raised his vigilance and asked.
"The last batch of goods contained ten boxes, and this batch of goods only has five pieces. If the Zhao family's guys don't return home, even the second master's people won't be able to use them," said the young master of the Zhao family.
"So this is what you are talking about." Mr. Luo said with a smile.
Mr. Luo was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat just now when he heard that the young master of the Zhao family said something different. He thought that the young master of the Zhao family had discovered something. Then he thought, what could the young master of the Zhao family discover?
The goods had been successfully loaded onto the ship, and the second master finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, the second master did not see the situation on the ship.
When his people got on the ship, they smelled a scent and fainted on the deck. The people on the ship opened one of the boxes of goods and found several girls lying inside. They hurriedly rescued the girls in the box.
came out.
The steward made a gesture to the young master of the Zhao family on the ship, and the young master of the Zhao family suddenly said: "Second Master, I trust you so much and do business with you, why are all the boxes in your box filled with women?"
"Brother Zhao, why don't I understand what you suddenly said?" asked Mr. Luo.
"Second Master, the box was brought here early in the morning. I never asked what was in it. Just now my man opened it and saw that it was all girls." The young master of the Zhao family said.
"I brought these goods from the tea house. If there was any problem in the process, it must have been dropped at the tea house. I don't know about other things." Mr. Luo said with increased vigilance.
Ah Wei wanted to take action, but Master Luo stopped him with a wink. Because Master Luo did not want to have a head-on conflict with the young master of the Zhao family, he could only pretend that he had been framed.
"Master Luo, these people were tricked by this guy named Leopard, right? Then they were put into the box early in the morning." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you? What are you talking about?" said Mr. Luo.
"Second Master, you should just surrender and stop pretending to be confused." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"Brother Zhao, if you want to seize this batch of goods for yourself, just say so. It will benefit everyone if we work together in business. Now that you know, we two brothers will work together to split the shares 50-50. What do you think? Why do you need to be aggressive?"
Mr. Luo said.
"Second Master, one of you ran away from the tea house the day before yesterday. Do you need me to remind you again? You lied to me about using the Zhao family to do business, but the goods sent to the ship were these women. This is illegal.
Do you want the Zhao family to be forced to walk around without food?" said the young master of the Zhao family.
Mr. Luo never thought that the young master of the Zhao family would follow him
Having done this, it seems that the young master of the Zhao family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I wonder if he wants to monopolize this batch of goods?
"What do you want?" Mr. Luo asked.
"Let's take it easy and come with me." The young master of the Zhao family said.
"Brother Zhao really impressed me. I thought that Brother Zhao was a straw bag, but he turned out to be pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. If you want to steal it for yourself, I will give it to you," said Mr. Luo.
"Come here, catch him." The young master of the Zhao family said unmoved.
Soon, more than a dozen people came out from behind the young master of the Zhao family and surrounded Mr. Luo and others. Seeing that there was no movement from the people on the boat, Mr. Luo knew that the people on the boat might have been controlled long ago.
So, he immediately whistled. Soon, dozens of men in black surrounded everyone.:
Second Master Luo proudly walked to the young master of the Zhao family and said, "Brother Zhao, you didn't expect that I had taken precautions a long time ago, right? But Brother Zhao surprised me. I was actually plotted by Brother Zhao."
"Second Master, I advise you to turn around and get over it," said the young master of the Zhao family.
Mr. Luo refused to give up at all, so he said to the people on the boat: "Listen, people on the boat, let us go, and then put the girls into the boxes as if nothing happened. Otherwise, I will
It will kill your young master."
Mr. Luo thought that the people on the boat would be obedient and let him go, but he didn't expect that there was no movement at all on the boat and no response to him.
"Boss, although you need to follow Uncle Xian's arrangements in Licheng, this business still belongs to the Zhao family. If something happens to the young master of the Zhao family, you won't be able to just walk away. Why don't you tell your subordinates to be obedient and let them go?
Killed our people? Don't you care about Brother Zhao's safety?" Mr. Luo continued to shout.
"Second Master, don't waste your words. They won't listen to you at all." The young master of the Zhao family said slowly.
Mr. Luo was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the people on the boat would ignore the life of the young master of the Zhao family. Aren't they afraid that the young master of the Zhao family would be angry with them? Looking at the confident look of the young master of the Zhao family, he became even more confused about the Zhao family.
What other trump cards does the young master have?
"Brother Zhao, why did you make things like this? Why don't you follow my suggestion and pretend you didn't see it? I won't treat you badly. How about that?" said Mr. Luo.
The young master of the Zhao family sneered and said, "Second Master, do you still remember Luo Ying?"
