There are still a few customers in the store, and a young man in his mid-twenties is greeting them. It seems that he is the new telegraph operator.
Seeing Jiang Xinyu walk in, Wei Zhongwen quickly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Hey, Mr. Jiang, you are here."
"Boss Wei, what do you think of this calligraphy?" Jiang Xinyu unfolded the calligraphy in his hand.
A customer wearing a long green cloth came over, shaking his head and reciting: "The three paths of my hometown are covered with secluded bushes, and a night of dark frost fell into the blue sky. How many guests from far away have never returned, borrowing the fence to watch the autumn wind! Alas, the world only knows the side of the road.
Shoumin’s paintings are actually quite skillful in his calligraphy!”
Wei Zhongwen: "Mr. Jiang, I want to verify the authenticity of this calligraphy. Please come in!"
Jiang Xinyu nodded and followed Wei Zhongwen into the inner room.
When Wei Zhongwen closed the door, he said, "Baogen, look after the outside."
"I know." The waiter named Baogen agreed.
After sitting down, Wei Zhongwen said: "The sign for high-price acquisition was put up in the morning, why did you come here?"
Jiang Xinyu explained: "It's not convenient during the day... What, is there an emergency?"
"There is a batch of supplies that cannot be shipped out. The superiors are very anxious now and ask us to find a solution as much as possible!"
"What supplies?"
"Two hundred and ninety bolts of coarse cloth!"
"so much?"
"Isn't that right? It's enough to equip a regiment!"
"...Where are these supplies now?"
"Warehouse No. 4 at Baihe Wharf."
"What's going on? Please tell me in detail."
"This batch of goods belongs to comrades from other lines. It took a lot of effort to raise it. We originally negotiated with Hang Laokan at the dock and shipped the goods out of Yanjin through him. I don't know what happened.
News of the matter leaked out, and recently freight shipments have suddenly become stricter. All bulk goods must be unpacked and randomly inspected, and it is said that all warehouses will be inspected in two days!"
Jiang Xinyu understood why Hang Laokan called to inquire about the military commander's movements. It turned out that he was aware of the danger and wanted to pry into his mouth.
Wei Zhongwen continued: "Hanglaokan has nothing to do now. He asked us to take the goods away to avoid being found out later. Then it will be too late!"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "Yes, since the investigation is so strict, we should take the goods away first and wait until the limelight passes..."
Wei Zhongwen interrupted him and said, "No! There are many suspicious people on the dock now. Such a large amount of cargo is too eye-catching and will definitely be discovered!"
"That is to say, not only can this batch of goods not be shipped out, it can't be collected either..."
"That's why the superiors sent us an urgent report. After all, you are the operational captain of the military commander!"
Jiang Xinyu pondered for a long time and said: "There is a way..."
Wei Zhongwen's eyes lit up and he said anxiously: "What can we do?"
"Hu Zhanbiao, the munitions officer of the 43rd Division, recently collaborated with the director of the quilt factory to resell military supplies. Their goods are all transported by water. I sent someone to check, and they happened to be at Baihe Wharf!"
"Do you want to take Hu Zhanbiao's cargo ship?"
"right!"
"But, if someone discovers..."
"Hu Zhanbiao's goods were shipped in the name of military supplies. The reason why he dared to do this was because of this convenient condition. I guess he might have used the special pass issued by the garrison!"
Wei Zhongwen thought for a moment and said, "You go directly to Hu Zhanbiao and ask him to help move the freight away?"
"Of course, it's useless for others to go."
Wei Zhongwen shook his head and said, "I don't agree with this plan. The risk is too great! What will happen if Hu Zhanbiao reports on you?"
Jiang Xinyu patiently explained: "First, he is reselling military supplies and does not dare to publicize it. Second, I will pay attention to methods and try not to reveal my identity! Third, I saved Hu Zhanbiao's life.
If you don’t forget your roots, you won’t betray me!”
"If you know people well but don't know their hearts, how can you conclude that he has not forgotten his roots?"
"This...it's hard to explain, for example, his attitude towards women."
Seeing Wei Zhongwen's confused look, Jiang Xinyu said, "I'll explain it to you slowly when I get the chance later. For now, if I don't do this, is there any other way?"
Wei Zhongwen hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, you can try this method! But the premise is that you must ensure your absolute safety! This kind of life-and-death matter must not be mixed with personal feelings!"
"I know." Jiang Xinyu raised his wrist and glanced at his watch and said, "Without further delay, I'm going to see Hu Zhanbiao right now!"
"good!"
Coming out of the inner room, Wei Zhongwen said: "Mr. Jiang, if you still have collections at home, please take more care of the store. In terms of price, I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"
"Easy to say." Jiang Xinyu stepped out.
"Go slowly, Mr. Jiang." Wei Zhongwen said goodbye behind him.
…………
There was a problem with the goods, and Wang Xuelin and Liu Deli also got the news.
At this time, in a black car, both of them were frowning. No one could have imagined that this would happen.
"Old Liu, what do you think we should do?"
"There is no better way. It really doesn't work, so I have to give up this batch of goods!"
"What's the meaning?"
"The name of the cargo owner is a pseudonym. The most the enemy can do is seize the cargo. We will not cause other losses."
"This is not a good idea!"
"You mean financial losses?"
Wang Xuelin shook his head and said: "I'm worried that if the military commander is investigating this matter, they will probably find it on me!"
Liu Deli thought for a while and said: "No way? The trademarks on the outer packaging have been cut off, and the source cannot be found at all..."
"You forgot that the fabric is defective. This feature is so obvious that it becomes a clue!"
"This is really a problem..."
"Old Liu, I have an idea, maybe you can try it!"
"any solution?"
"Let Tong Tong come forward and ask Jiang Xinyu to help release this batch of goods!"
"No! The higher-ups ordered not to activate Tong Tong. I've already told you about this!"
"It's not about enabling it, it's just about letting her try it out!"
Liu Deli thought for a while and said: "Jiang Xinyu will definitely ask who owns this batch of goods. How should Tong Tong answer?"
Wang Xuelin: "Let's just say it was Xueqi's business. He was young and ignorant and didn't know that so much cloth needed to be reported to the police station."
"What do you think is the chance that Jiang Xinyu will agree to help?"
"Fifty-fifty! However, even if Jiang Xinyu doesn't agree, he won't doubt Tong Tong. On the surface, she is just doing Xueqi a favor."
"In that case, your brother will just..."
"It doesn't matter. If Jiang Xinyu doesn't agree, I'll ask Xueqi to hide in Chongqing for a while. Anyway, someone has to take the blame! In the end, only our family will take the blame!"
Liu Deli thought about it and felt that this method was also feasible. Normally, it would not have any impact on Tong Tong!
