The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 209 Pack up
I really wanted to do it, but when I thought of Runtu's reputation, I stopped again and looked at the situation again.

What Runtu learned.

Only this vice-counselor Sun did not report.

It doesn't seem good to just kill people.

Runtu: "Battle Commander Li of Xinfeng Town is your man, you go and deal with him."

Runtu still wants to continue to investigate.

There are too many people with problems now.

There were still some that didn't have a problem at first.

A lot has changed after a few years in that position.

When Runtu left, Vice Counselor Sun heaved a sigh of relief.

According to what Runtu said, hurry to Xinfeng Town.

A deputy commander came over, and both the battalion commander and Inspector Wang went to meet him.

He met Li Battalion Commander alone.

"Sun Shenling, why did you come here in person? Thanks to you, the Yang family's affairs are settled. Just wait a moment."

Battalion Commander Li took out a small box, "Sun Canling, this is money from the Yang family, and I left a copy for you."

Deputy Counselor Sun looked at it, but didn't take it seriously, "That's all? A few small yellow croakers."

"Sun Canling, this is not enough."

"I've been to Xinfeng Town. The Yang family's house is no smaller than the Sun's house in my prefecture. The family has a big fortune. Is that all?"

"My lord, the Yang family doesn't have many people. After all, this is Xinfeng Town and the provincial capital is incomparable."

"That's all the family fortune, Battalion Commander Li, I don't believe it. With such a family fortune, so many boxes of opium can still be stockpiled. Either the Yang family is fooling you, or you are fooling me."

"My lord, I dare not lie to you. I am your old subordinate. My lord, the Yang family actually has a total of eight boxes of opium. Among them, six boxes were found by Inspector Wang's people. But there are two boxes hidden by my people." I’m thinking of shipping out Jiaxin to sell outside.”

"You are so bold. You are my old subordinate. Some people have already sued you on the Yang family, but I suppressed them all. But this Inspector Wang from Xinfeng Town sent a letter directly to Jiashan. Battalion Commander Li, what happened to you Yes. The Lord Fu Zun knows about you."

"Master Sun, help me, you must have a way to help my brother. I have worked diligently in the past few years. I only escorted the big cigarettes, and the other is to ask for three concubines. I don't earn much, but the expenses are high."

"Where are the two boxes?"

"Still in Xinfeng Town, thinking of sending it to Shanghai Beach or to the north, where there are people I know."

Make it all clear.

He took out his gun, "Lao Li, I'm sorry, Zhang Xietong wants your life."

It's just a shot.

There was a lot of gunfire.

The person fell to the ground.

There was such a loud gunshot, someone was coming this way.

Inspector Wang also came over and saw the person lying on the ground.

"Vice Counselor Sun, what's going on?"

"Abstained by order. The order of the lord of the government. Inspector Zhang, you are from the Jiashan Military Academy. It is a pleasure to meet you. There are also several military academy graduates in Fucheng. They are probably your classmates. You can come to see me in Fucheng some other day."

Packed up the corpse.

I'm still thinking about those two boxes of smoke and soil.

A box of soot is almost a thousand taels of silver.

Two boxes are 2000 taels.

His salary is only a few dozen taels of silver a month.

It is these extra money that make money.

I can't give up the two boxes of tobacco.

Jiaxin also sells, relatively few.

Most of them will be shipped outside.

After leaving here, I asked someone to deliver the two big boxes of smoke and soil.

Almost a wagon load.

There must be several escorts.

Jiaxin's secret agents have already set their sights on this Deputy Counselor Sun.

If there is any movement, I will tell Xiangzi.

This secret service department is led by Maotou at the beginning.

There are a large number of people, there are thousands of people in Jiaxin Land alone.

Specially sent a few good hands to mark people.

The three of them stared at the two boxes of opium.

At this time, Deputy Counselor Sun had already sent someone to transport it.

"How to deal with it, there are only three of us, and they have six."

Specially checked for opium.

The two boxes of big cigarettes are already a credit.

Not to mention there are people behind the smoke.

"Follow first, wait for the opportunity. Don't let anyone get out of Jiaxin, you two continue to follow, I'll call someone."

There is no certainty about doing three or six.

The big smoke is a credit, but it is still a prerequisite to ensure your own safety.

"We can't let people get Jiaxin out, that would be more troublesome. The two of us cleaned them up and made a plan."

"What's the plan?"

"Have you seen the Water Margin, outsmart the birthday guide, let's give him this one today. There is a small road in front, go around, wait in advance. Prepare some wine, melons and fruits, and put medicine in it. It's big On a hot day, they have traveled so long, it is impossible not to eat."

Immediately came up with an idea.

It's just a carriage, but there are six people watching.

It took three hours to get ready.

One of them picked up food and walked past them.

Is a member of the Secret Service.

"After this batch of goods is delivered to Shanghai Beach, we will eat meat and drink heavily. Lord Sun will remember us."

"Plum dried vegetable biscuits, warm plum dried vegetable biscuits, just out of the pan."

After driving for half a day, I am hungry.

One by one was hungry.

"Why don't you buy one?"

"Go to Shanghai Beach to buy it. It's not too far away. I checked, and there will be a restaurant within half an hour at most."

"I'm really hungry, why don't I buy something."

In the end, I decided to buy it, and called the person down, "Is it just out of the pot?"

"Well, no."

"Go ahead, I'm really hungry. Look at him, there seems to be a jar of wine. It's boring to eat dry food. I just want something warm."

"Is it really just out of the pot?"

"That is."

"Plum dried vegetable pancakes, there are pork, flour, dried plum vegetables, salt, green onions, sugar, light soy sauce and so on.

First put dried plums in warm water to rise, wash and chop, add salt, sugar, sesame oil, light soy sauce, and stir well.Dice the pork, mix well with salt and white pepper, mix the two together and make the filling.Put the stuffing into the risen dough and roll it into pancakes.

It is an authentic delicacy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The dough should be kneaded evenly, until the surface is smooth and not sticky.

When baking in the oven, the heating should be uniform, and the oven temperature should not be too high to avoid burning.

Put the flour on the chopping board, first scald a small part of the flour with boiling water, then mix well with other flour, put in the yeast dough and cold water and knead evenly, cover with a damp cloth, let it rest for about [-] minutes, then add alkali and knead Twist through, knead into long strips, pick them into doughs weighing [-] liang each, press them into round cakes one by one, wrap in a portion of filling, press flat, brush with caramel sugar, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve as a green sesame seed cake.

Heat up the furnace wall of the oven, wipe off the dust with a clean damp cloth, and block the oven door, take the green biscuit and dip some water on the side without sesame seeds, and stick it on the oven wall. Serve in a quarter of an hour. "

Hearing the words so clearly, the smoker immediately dispelled all his worries. This must be a businessman.

Be clear about the process of making cakes.

He can really do it, just not very well.

Some of the processes are correct, and some are made up.

It can be used to bluff people.

Several people started to eat big mouthfuls.

"delicious."

"The wine is also delicious. This is Shaoxing rice wine. Good."

Only one person is selling.

For the amount of six people, buying wine and cakes cost a total of two oceans, mainly because the wine is relatively expensive.

The money will still be paid, and I dare not mess around.

After all, soldiers are not thieves.

If someone died here, they would definitely investigate.

It's just an ocean, so there's no point in killing people.

The medicine works very well.

After a while, all six of them fell to the ground.

"Things are going really well. Look at the goods."

"Look, it's true, it's all smoke. It's our turn to make meritorious service. These people are tied up and brought back."

There are also ready-made carriages.

Take people directly to Jiashan to send.

The agent boss, Maotou, heard the news and reported it to Runtu first.

"My lord, the man-marking you ordered has come to fruition. I want to transport opium to the beach."

Given the chance, Deputy Counselor Sun still doesn't want it.

Runtu: "Take a few people and go directly to Sun's residence, bring them here, and kill them on the spot if they resist."

Now the evidence has been completely obtained.

can be packed.

Not only here.

A lot of things were found.

Many have been found.

"My lord, and what you said, you want us to go to various places to buy some old objects and bring back a lot of things."

There are many things at this time.

After all, there will be many good objects in the chaos of war.

Basically everyone who was sent out came back once.

It's a pity that the things they brought back did not surprise Runtu.

"My lord, we found out that people from the Cao Gang are also smuggling these items and selling them to foreigners."

This made Runtu a little angry.

Antiques are sold to foreigners.

It's just that Cao Gang is not easy to deal with.

The cooperation with the Cao Gang in the early stage was okay.It cannot be disposed of at will.

Thinking about going to Caobang.

I learned a little more about Maotou.

He drove the car directly to Caobang.

The boss served good tea for reception.

"Master Zhang, why are you here?"

Every time Runtu came over, he would talk to him about something, and never came here to greet him.

Runtu: "There is something I want to ask you."

"Just say it."

"Did you know your people were smuggling?"

The leader thought about it for a while, and of course he knew that he was still doing smuggling.

Some items in the north can be sold for several times in price in the south, and some items in the south can also be sold at a higher price in the north.Just some shipping manpower is enough.It's all big business.

He even does the arms business.Jiashan Arsenal still has him transporting goods.

Now he puts all his business on Baidao, and he doesn't do the Yantu business anymore, at least not in Jiaxin.

The forces of the Cao Gang made a lot of money from smuggling.

"Master Zhang, can you be more specific?"

"Your people, there is a leader who is smuggling Wenwan. They are all good things. It's okay to sell them to Chinese people, but many of them are sold to foreigners. Do you know? I think so. Your Cao Gang is good. If it’s something, I want it all, just give it to me, and I’ll buy it at the normal price.”

The smuggling of antiques was beyond the expectation of the gang leader.

He is essentially a farmer's gang. He has read a lot of books in the past few years, and he has read a lot of books of all kinds, but his cultural background is still not enough, and he is not very interested in those literary games.

I really don't know that my own people have smuggled texts.

"Master Zhang just came here specially for this matter. I'll go and ask. If there are such things, I will arrange for someone to deliver them directly to you."

Runtu: "Thank you, that would be great."

"Master Zhang, you're being polite, why don't we say thanks?"

He knew that Runtu was an educated person, and it was not uncommon for an educated person to like antiques and playthings.

Many literati will collect some old things.

The leader called the person next to him, and said to him, "Go and get my box."

After a while, his subordinates brought a box over.

"Master Zhang, these are some things I received, arty."

The leader is now trying his best to go up the right path, and respects scholars very much.

Even some scholars in Jiaxin have been sponsored by him.He invited many well-known people to sit and chat together, and spent a lot of money.

He knew that in order to really grow bigger, it was very important to change his style.This is in the pen of those scholars, and writing an article for themselves can have a great impact.He didn't want others to know that his gang leader was just a hooligan who only knew how to fight and kill.

Runtu looked at the box with interest.

Go over and open the box.

Sure enough, there are treasures inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is a sword with a gleaming hilt made of gold.

There are several pieces of calligraphy and painting, gold, stone and jade wares, and porcelain, all of which are top-grade.

Runtu: "They're all good things! Master, I'll buy whatever it costs."

If the boss is willing to take out the things, that is the idea of ​​selling.

"Master Zhang, I gave it to you. It was originally used as a gift."

"I'd better give the money."

Taking it for nothing is a big favor.

It is estimated that the leader gave a lot of favors with these things.

Those scholars may not be interested in money, but I believe no one can easily refuse these treasures.

"Master Zhang, you have helped me a lot. Without you, our Cao Gang would not have developed to what it is today. These are nothing to me. These things are nothing. Even if you don't want them, I will give them away in the future Human."

"Thank you then."

"You don't have to be so polite between friends."

Because of the previous cooperation with Runtu, the current leader of the gang, in Jiaxin, Runtu gave him a lot of convenience and made a lot of money, which is just a drop in the bucket for him.

And he didn't like these antiques, so he gave them away as soon as they were given away.

Runtu looked at the things in the box one by one, and liked them very much.

They are all excellent products.

Runtu: "Okay, I'll take these. I'll prepare any leftovers for the future, and I'll buy them with money."

It is more convenient for the people of Caobang to collect such things.

Leader: "Of course, I'll tell my people to pay attention."

Runtu left Caobang with his things.

Not long after he left, the leader of the gang greeted someone, "Go and find out, I don't even know who is smuggling antiques in the gang."

There are people doing things.

It's also normal, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

The Cao Gang has tens of thousands of people, how can it manage so many people.

Usually forget it, open one eye and close one eye.

But this time it won't work, even Runtu has come over, the leader of the Cao Gang is still very caring.

"Yes, boss, I'll check right away."

In the afternoon, the news was found.

"The leader is a leader of our Caobang Wharf. It has been cooperating with Dongying people for several years. Smoke soil, silk, antiques, etc."
