Chapter 145 Can't Be Cheap For Them

"The master is eating, has the young lady ever used it?"

Tong Qi smiled, bent her waist and asked her, it was very different from the vigilance when they first met in Changxing in the past.

Changying cast a long glance at him, wanting to correct him, but felt that he really had nothing to say to this subordinate.

Huo Rong sat at the dining table, stopped chopsticks and looked at her: "Why are you here?"

Someone next to him handed the bowls and chopsticks, and came to remove the leftovers from the table, which meant to serve the food again.

Changying had no intention of chatting with him, and said, "I'm here for business. It's Liu Wei who provided information to Su Xinrong."

Huo Rong's eyes froze slightly, he took the handkerchief and sealed his lips.

Changying then told about the situation that she went to look for Su Xinrong just now. "Yesterday, Liu Wei fought with me at the pier, and later begged to see Lord Hou, but I didn't see him again when I came out, and after that, we unloaded the ship smoothly, and he didn't come out again.

"Now that this incident has happened, no matter what explanation Qian Yun gives, I can no longer satisfy me."

Huo Rong put his hands on the back of the chair and thought for a moment, then said: "If that's the case, then it's really cheap for them."

"So I want to take over this."

"Do you have an idea?"

"I'm here to ask for an order to dispatch troops."

Huo Rong thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you."

"You don't need to go." Changying said, "You can't use it if you go."

Huo Rong was stopped halfway, thinking about her performance in Changxing, she stopped her momentum and came back: "It's fine. Lord Hou is also planning to collect the net, so I have to keep an eye on it. I'll give you five hundred soldiers and horses, and you Think about it."

Tong Qi quickly took out the transfer order and stepped forward.

Chang Ying took it, bowed and stepped back, then turned and left without looking sideways.

A roomful of followers watched her go away, then turned back to look at Huo Rong with full of respectful eyes.

Huo Rong picked up his tooth chopsticks again: "Get used to it slowly."

……

Tan Shuyin was still waiting in the mansion, Changying came back with the transfer order, and immediately rode to the pier, Tan Shuyin also followed after hearing about it, Changying thought about it, and took her with her.

It was near the Dragon Boat Festival, and there were vendors selling rice dumplings everywhere under the willow trees on the embankment. Liu Wei picked a stall that was pleasing to the eye-the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and he had to throw a few rice dumplings into the river to ensure safety.

Last night, he conveyed all the news to the servant sent by Su Xinrong. As he expected, Su Xinrong let the rumors spread among the soldiers stationed here in Nankang.

Although he couldn't get any inside information from the guardhouse, he guessed that these rumors would eventually flow to the guardhouse.

He didn't care what happened to Shen Changying, she was just an insignificant person anyway.

What he cared about was Ling Yuan and Nan Kangwei. Now, Ling Yuan must have been roasted on the fire, right?

The emperor wanted to send Ling Yuan to Nankangwei to deal with the Water Transportation Department, but he didn't expect to be defeated by his mere plan just now. No matter what, this time Peng Xie will always make him pay off his merits and use him again!
There are so many piers along the river, and Peng Xie's subordinates are not just running errands to collect money. He really doesn't have any future if he doesn't use his brain.

"My lord, the treasurer of Yingfeng is looking for you urgently!"

As soon as he stood up with the zongzi in his hands, a voice came from behind him.

The little official appeared here anxiously, and glanced at the direction of the pier: "Just now, Huo Rong's people suddenly came with soldiers and horses to sail the boat and stopped the Yingfeng, saying what about the ships they unloaded yesterday? The number of materials is wrong, I suspect that someone stole the materials on the Yingfeng ship!"

"Huo Rong?" Liu Wei stood up.

"It's Huo Rong!" said the little official, "Now the two shopkeepers on the ship are in a hurry, and they have already sent someone to look for the adult once, but they couldn't find it. I just saw the young one, so I entrusted the young one to come. try to find!"

The little official said and moved closer: "The ship is blocked, not only can't go, but now it can't even load the goods. I don't know how long it will be delayed. If it delays for a day, the loss will be a waste of money!"

Of course Liu Wei knew what this meant, but isn't Nan Kangwei messing around right now?Why didn't he hear the news of the trouble in the guard, instead, it was Huo Rong who sent someone to add trouble to him?Could something be wrong?
"Where is the man in charge of the ship?"

"We're negotiating with them!"

When Liu Wei arrived at the pier, he looked from a distance, and saw that the two ships that were docked and waiting to load had been blocked by three ships from Nankangwei.

The intersection for loading goods on the shore has also been secured by soldiers, and a large number of cargo merchants waiting to load goods on board have been blocked outside and gathered into a crowd.

Looking carefully, it seems that there are still officers and soldiers walking around on the ship-this is indeed trapped!
"Who is the leader?"

"Yes, it's Shen Changying!"

"Shen Changying?!"

This is even more strange, Shen Changying should be besieged on all sides at this time, how could she still come here? !

Could it be that Su Xinrong...

"Master Liu!"

Just as he was wondering, someone suddenly came up to him in three steps and two at the bottom of the slope, and it was the owner of Yingfeng who had handed over the money to him last night.

"Master Liu! Right now our two boats are blocked for no reason, what do you think is going on?

"We have already gone through the doorway that we should go. Yesterday you asked us to move to unload at night and we accepted it. Now you have to bring out a charter!

"After a day's delay, we have to bear the responsibility. If the merchant can't get the goods, we will have to pay real money later!"

Liu Wei is the master who is praised by these people every day, how can he bear his complaints?
He just said: "What are you yelling at me? Who knows if you offended Nan Kangwei?"

Shen Changying refused to give in yesterday, and he never competed with her again afterwards.He couldn't figure out why she was acting like this?

"Lord Liu!" Seeing his posture, the chief officer's expression darkened, "Our Yingfeng has been traveling on the river for seven or eight years, and the filial piety that should be given by the wharves here is as much as possible. Our boss is also familiar!

"How could we offend Nan Kangwei?

"Right now, if you want to sit idly by and ignore it, it won't take any effort for our master to vote in front of Xuncao Yushi!"

To put it bluntly, which boatman who can walk on the river has no strength behind him?If it wasn't for the sake of currying favor with the people behind someone like Liu Wei, who would take a small supervisor seriously?
Being able to walk on the river, they naturally had to think about how they would not sit and wait for death if they were choked by someone.

Liu Wei was indeed taken aback, and patiently slowed down his tone first: "What are you in a hurry for? Have you ever tried it with Yin Zi?"

"There is no need for an adult to remind you, we have not only stretched out our hands, but also stretched out more than once!
"But there is a girl beside General Shen, she is General Tan's son-in-law, Tan Shao is very strict, we don't dare to go too far, now we can only ask the adults to come forward to help clear up!" A bow.
