"...Tutu...ah...who is it! Are you going to stop letting me sleep? You don't have a butthole to give birth to a baby..."
The loud sound sounded for the third time, and the captain of the boat, who was woken up and covered his head with the quilt, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He turned over and sat up, cursing loudly.
The weather changed tonight, which reduced the price of fish by half. I couldn't bear to stay in Shanghai. I pushed the boat back in the rain, but was drowned by the rain. I finally fell asleep and was woken up again. It's amazing that I have a good temper.
Not only him, but other people in the room were also woken up. When he heard his words, they also started to curse. Some even had a bad temper and got up directly, lit a lantern and went out the door.
"...don't come out...stay in the room, we will handle the matters outside..."
But as soon as they opened the door, the hotel came to remind them to go back. The people who were furious just now closed the door again.
The people who stayed here were all fishing boats in the surrounding areas. The details of the new owner of the hotel had been well-informed. Although these people were usually very polite, they did not dare to provoke them, so they had to hold back their anger and retreat.
All the residents were woken up, including Boss Shan and the other water bandits. They were now nervously on guard, fearing that someone would sneak up on them.
This is already the third time. They come here almost every twenty minutes. A group of water bandits are worried about trouble. There is a bit of turmoil.
Shan Laoer looked through the window in the direction of the sound. He saw the waterway next to the inn. A flashlight illuminated the waterway. Several boats were vaguely visible, but they were not too close and the light was too weak.
Can't see clearly.
They could only tell by the sound that there might be four or five steamboats, but something didn't feel right. They looked weird, especially their behavior, which was so weird that they couldn't quite understand it.
I kept following the sound and watched the other person go around to another waterway not far behind the inn. Then the sound disappeared and the lights disappeared. I wonder what the intention was?
Naturally, the water bandits did not dare to rush over to investigate, so they could only take strict precautions at the back of the inn to prevent sneak attacks. On the top of the earthen bunker in the ice cellar, people set up boat guns.
"Big brother and second brother, everything has been arranged in the guest room, and people have been watching. People who wanted to go out have been rushed back, and guns have been secretly set up.
Even if someone arranges for someone to come in and act as an internal response, if they dare to take any action, they will be dealt with immediately and there will be no trouble."
Boss Shan nodded solemnly. Although nothing had happened so far, the surprising scene didn't look like there was anything wrong with it.
But now that the surroundings were pitch black, they did not dare to make any other moves and could only wait. However, after waiting for more than 20 minutes, the sound did not sound as expected.
After waiting for another twenty minutes, there was still no movement. Boss Shan finally couldn't sit still and secretly went to the surrounding waterways to check. Someone soon came to report.
Except for a lot of footprints beside the waterway not far behind the inn, there was nothing else, and not even the shadow of a boat could be seen.
"Is this a test? Or a warning? Or something else?" Boss Shan looked at his second brother and asked with a solemn expression.
"I don't know!" Shan Laoer shook his head and explained: "But I can be sure that it is definitely not a ghost, but a ghost!"
It's not scary to not understand the situation, but what's scary is that someone will spread random ideas and rumors, which will cause panic and confusion in people's minds, so Shan Laoer mentioned it first.
"You're pretending to be a ghost, and you don't know what the plot is?" Shan Laoer naturally believed what the second brother said, and he himself was convinced that someone was playing tricks on him.
"No matter what their purpose is, we can't take it lightly. We must make some preparations in advance. Brother, you take people and build some simple bunkers behind the inn and on the dirt bag, and carry out this overnight."
"...Okay..." Shan Laoer nodded in agreement, and added that the ship should be properly placed and protected to ensure that it could be evacuated when necessary. He would also use the phone he had just secretly set up to notify people outside and inquire about various situations.
"...Keep your voice down..." Soon, Shan Laoer led a group of people and started working behind the inn. Although he was repeatedly told to be gentle, he still made a lot of noise.
And in a guest room, there were a few eyes, through the cracks in the windows and doors, seeing clearly what happened in the inn.
…
"...chut tug tut..." A sound came, and several boats' bows were illuminated with flashlights. The boat, covered with raincloths, slowly docked next to a large awning.
However, due to the large size, the awning is only as long as the incoming ship, and the width is much different.
There were many bicycles stacked and fixed on the bow and stern of the awning boat. This was the boat that Lin Mo and others boarded after they separated and reunited.
"...Captain Lin..." He Changwen jumped on the awning, got into the awning, looked at the pile of boxes behind everyone, and said hello to Lin Mo with a rosy face.
"How's it going? Is everything going smoothly?" Lin Mo motioned him to sit down, handed him a cup of hot tea, and then asked.
"Everything went well. Those people started moving like frightened birds, and they finally sent someone out of the inn, as if they were digging fortifications behind the inn."
He Changwen did not report the situation at the Yin family residence. He knew that if the operation went smoothly, Wang Mingkun would join Team Lin, and the situation there must have been known.
"Are you sure you ran to the back of the inn to dig fortifications?" After hearing this, Lin Mo confirmed the situation with He Changwen.
"There is also the dirt bag above the ice cellar. Those people may have been worried about being attacked, so they lit a lot of torches around it. I can see it clearly from a distance with a telescope. Is that okay?"
"...It's pretty good..." Lin Mo smiled with satisfaction and responded.
"Captain Lin, what are you doing this for? I don't understand." He Changwen asked curiously.
Lin Mo asked him to collude with these water bandits to occupy the inn he was running. Tonight, he asked him to run nearby and do some tricks to make the other party nervous. He really couldn't handle this series of actions.
Know what's the use.
"Let's give it a try first, and the zodiac signs haven't been revealed yet! Whether others will take the bait, that's not sure. Okay, let's talk about the specific gains! You should have done some counting on the road, right?"
What Wang Mingkun reported to him was only a rough number, and he didn't have time to count it at that time. Although the harvest was compared with theirs, it was like a small bird seeing a big bird, but that still had to be understood clearly.
He Changwen nodded and said: "After a rough inventory, the silver dollar is about seven to eight hundred thousand, plus other normal harvests, it should be around one million oceans.
This does not include the counterfeit Manchukuo banknotes and North Korean banknotes. The value of those two is unclear, but the currency value is not small. After all, it is several million."
Lin Mo nodded slightly and said: "What is the denomination situation of the counterfeit Manchu coins and North Korean won?"
He Changwen recalled it and said: "There is no such thing as auxiliary coins. The lowest denomination is one yuan, but it is quite complicated, ranging from one yuan, five yuan, ten yuan to a hundred yuan."
Among them, one yuan and five yuan are the most common, and there are also a lot of ten yuan. The number of hundreds of yuan is the smallest, but if you count the value, it is actually not much less, and it is less than the other types.
However, these banknotes feel a bit weird and very old, especially the one-yuan ones. Some of them look almost rotten, and the writing and images are blurry. It is estimated that no one will accept them."
After hearing this, Lin Mo followed him to take a look. It was indeed no exaggeration at all. It was even better to say it, especially the Korean won. There was a one-yuan one. As soon as Lin Mo got his hands on it, he broke it into two pieces.
"I guess someone is doing something behind his back! Don't worry about him, it's an unexpected gain! If you spend one piece, you'll make a profit."
This money definitely cannot be thrown away as waste paper. Although it is used to plunder wealth, doesn't it mean that you can't take it away if you destroy these paper figures?
As long as the wealth is in your hands and you have no ability to protect it, you will take away whatever should be taken away. In this case, it is better to be practical, replace it with something useful, and do something!
"Captain Lin, aren't you leaving yet?" After looking around, seeing that Lin Mo still had no intention of leaving, He Changwen couldn't help but ask, this is not a suitable place to stay.
"I'm still waiting for someone!...Then...it should be here!" Lin Mo pointed to the approaching bright light in the distance and stood on the bow of the ship, waiting quietly.
After the flashlight flashed a few times, the boat came closer, and a figure wearing thick clothes, a top hat, sunglasses, and a scarf that almost covered the lower half of his face jumped on the boat.
After sizing it up, Su Hongjie said: "The water is a bit big. With two people, the boat really can't move! It's a little late."
"It doesn't matter!" Lin Mo shook his head, said nothing more, and ordered He Changwen to follow him before Lin Mo took him up to the awning.
Except for the two people who were left at the stern and bow to be responsible for driving, everyone else went to He Changwen's side to help. There were not enough people on his side, so driving all the way here took some risks.
Curtains were hung on the front and rear awnings, and the awnings were quickly started. The ship was also equipped with a marine engine, otherwise they would not have been able to run here from Shanghai so quickly.
"Have you found the place? If we find it, we will go directly there and unload the harvest from the Yin family residence directly to you!"
"Is this how we divide the money?" Su Hongjie was a little surprised. He thought that Lin Mo asked him to find a good place to stay, but he didn't expect that it was to put money for him.
"Just take it with peace of mind. I will handle it properly at the office. It's better not to use the account over at the office, otherwise I'm worried that some people will give you discounts!
And according to the development plan we have discussed and decided on, it is best to cut off some aspects of the department as much as possible to minimize contact with them to avoid leaking any information."
Su Hongjie nodded. There was nothing to worry about. He directly told Lin Mo where to prepare, but Lin Mo frowned and asked for details.
I roughly understood Su Hongjie’s starting point for preparing that place, and I blamed him for not clarifying the situation to him before. The place he prepared was not suitable!
"We probably won't be able to go. That place is not suitable. Our actions this time are not small. The other party will never give up. There will definitely be various tracings and investigations later. That place is not safe.
But that’s fine, I’ll give you some alternatives! It’s inconvenient for you to handle so much cash directly, so I’ll replace it with banknotes and gold that are more convenient and easy to carry.”
