Nine Pins Immortal Road

Chapter 89 Protection Fee

When the light was twilight, Liang Zhaohuang returned to Ludong County with two smuggling cargo ships.

Hanging the sign of the River Inspection Division, the two cargo ships quickly entered the city, went up the Changbu River, went straight to Jinguanfang, and finally stopped at the small pier at the back gate of the county government.

Liang Zhaohuang asked the second sister and others to watch the two cargo ships and the smuggling monks on the cargo ships. He stepped forward and patted the back door of the county government office, showing his identity and asking to see the magistrate.

The yamen guarding the gate sent a message inward, and Liang Zhaohuang waited outside.

After waiting for half an hour, someone came to lead him into the county office and went to meet the county magistrate.

Xie Wenyun county magistrate summoned him this time in a side hall of the county government office. When Liang Zhaohuang arrived, he happened to see a maid withdrew breakfast and served tea.

In the breakfast that was removed, there was still a small bowl of rice porridge left, and Liang Zhaohuang saw the 'yellow rice' that he was just familiar with.

"Qing Que, tell the chef not to make porridge with 'huangliang rice' tomorrow. I'm not used to it, so let's replace it with the 'red tooth millet' we brought from Yanzhou."

Xie Wenyun ordered.

"Yes, sir."

The maid, who had withdrawn with a dinner plate, bowed and stepped back.

Xie Wenyun took the tea and rinsed his mouth, looked at Liang Zhaohuang, and asked, "Liang Patrol, I heard that you came before dawn? What's the hurry?"

"Reporting to the county magistrate!" Liang Zhaohuang stepped forward and saluted, with a serious look of business affairs, and said: "The last time my lord recruited an official to ask about the work of the river patrol, I am deeply ashamed that I failed to answer. ."

"It's that after the deceased official returned, he immediately took over the river inspection department and performed his duties earnestly.

"Last night, when Xiaguan led people to inspect the 'Grey Reed Lake', he accidentally discovered that someone was conducting smuggling transactions."

"Out of duty, the lower officials took down both parties involved in the smuggling transaction and detained the goods of the smuggling transaction."

"However, it was unexpectedly discovered that one of the smuggling parties was actually the family of 'Yunshui' Lu's in this county, and the number of goods traded was huge!"

"The subordinate did not dare to arbitrarily decide on this matter, so I came here to report to the magistrate and ask for your instructions."

"'Yunshui' Lu family, huh!" Xie Wenyun county magistrate chuckled, and then asked: "The number of goods is huge? How big can it be?"

"There are many third-order spiritual materials and treasures, and the subordinate officials have shallow knowledge and cannot estimate the specific value."

Liang Zhaohuang replied.

"Xiaguan has escorted the cargo ship to the back door dock of the county government. Your Excellency can send someone to count it."

County magistrate Xie Wenyun nodded, and casually nodded at the maid, saying, "Oriole, you and Liang Patrol go and have a look."

"Yes, Master!"

The maid on the side bowed and bowed, and came to Liang Zhaohuang's side.

"Your Majesty, the lower officials will retire first."

Seeing this, Liang Zhaohuang also resigned, and then took the maid, Oriole, all the way out of the county government office to the back door dock of the county government office.

The two cargo ships are still here, and the smugglers detained on the ships have not caused any trouble.

The maid, Oriole, sent by the magistrate of Xie Wenyun, is indeed a 'professional', or she is well-informed. Whether it is a rare treasure in the sea or various spiritual mines, whether it is second or third order, there is no such thing on the two boats. She does not know, and can even comment on the quality.

Liang Zhaohuang watched her take out a green book, and registered the goods on the two cargo ships by category and listed them in detail. Each item was followed by an evaluation of quality and appearance, and finally the value was listed.

Two cargo ships and a large amount of cargo took nearly two hours to complete the inventory.

Afterwards, the maid, Oriole, returned to the county office with Qingshu, followed by Liang Zhaohuang.

In the county office, county magistrate Xie Wenyun has changed into a set of clothes and is playing with a caged bird in a garden of the county office.

"Master, the goods have been counted in the book."

"There are about 20 shi of third-order Lingmi, about 40 shi of second-order Lingmi, and about 70 shi of first-order Lingmi."

"The third-order spiritual salt is about 30 stones, the second-order spiritual salt is about [-] stones, and the first-order spiritual salt is about [-] stones."

"East Sea Rare Treasures, there are five hundred pieces in the third order, a thousand pieces in the second order, and three thousand pieces in the first order."

"There are also various spiritual mines. The third level is about 60 jin, the second level is about 100 jin, and the first level is about [-] million jin."

"All the goods together are worth about 20 high-grade spirit stones!"

After the maid Oriole reported, she handed over the blue book in her hand.

The county magistrate Xie Wenyun put down the bird cage, took the green book and flipped through it, shook his head slightly and said, "Oh, there really is something."

Afterwards, he drew some notes on the green book, threw the green book to Liang Zhaohuang, and said, "Keep the goods I drew, and bring the rest back to the inspection department."

"Then leave the rest alone."

"Yes, county magistrate." Liang Zhaohuang took the green book and responded without looking at it. Then he asked slowly, "What should I do with those smugglers?"

"According to the regulations of the Inspection Division, if someone is redeemed, they will be redeemed, and if no one is redeemed, they will be sent to Fuyushan Mine to serve."

"Yes."

Liang Zhaohuang bowed in response, and then left the county office.

When he returned to the boat behind the county office, he opened the green book. When the maid, Oriole, took stock of the supplies, Liang Zhaohuang followed him to watch, but he gained a lot of knowledge.

At least at this time, he already knew the materials on the two ships and knew the approximate value.

After looking through it, I found that the materials on the 'green book' were not many, but they were all valuable materials.

Almost half of the third-order materials have been removed, leaving the most third-order materials instead of yellow rice.

Liang Zhaohuang slightly estimated that the value of the materials that the county magistrate Xie Wenyun took away accounted for about two-thirds of the total value of the two ships.

That is to say, he has been busy all night, fighting one after another, and most of the supplies he has finally won have to be handed over to the county magistrate Xie Wenyun.

As for the other party, he just rested in the county seat for a night and ate a hearty breakfast in the morning. He could harvest so much material and wealth without doing anything!

Thinking about it, Liang Zhaohuang was really unwilling.

But it is useless to be unwilling, as much appetite as you have to eat.The Liang family is only a small seedling, and they must also find a big tree to shelter themselves from the wind and rain, so that they can have time and conditions to grow up.

Just pay for protection!

"move!"

Liang Zhaohuang gave an order, and the second sister, the fourth brother and others sorted out the materials allocated by the county magistrate in the two cargo ships.

It took another hour and a half before Liang Zhaohuang and others sorted and transported the materials.

The supplies drawn down by the county magistrate Xie Wenyun were sent to the county government, and the rest were still on the boat. Liang Zhaohuang escorted the two cargo ships directly into the dock of the River Inspection Division, and sent the goods into the warehouse one after another, and then escorted the two gangs. The smugglers were all escorted into the water prison of the River Patrol Division for custody.

At this time, the two foundation-building cultivators of the Lu family stopped barking and clamoring. They clearly saw that Liang Zhaohuang sent a large amount of materials to the county government. They knew that the county magistrate had already intervened. .

However, their gazes towards Liang Zhaohuang were still full of viciousness and hatred, as if they wished to rip him up immediately.

Liang Zhaohuang frowned, and he couldn't help but recall the knowledge he knew in his heart. Has anyone been able to abolish the Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Unfortunately not.
