Chapter 89 Protection Fees

At the twilight of light, Liang Zhaohuang escorted two smuggled cargo ships back to Ludong County.

With the sign of the River Inspection Department hanging, the two cargo ships quickly entered the city, walked up the Changbu River, and went straight into Jinguanfang, and finally stopped at the small dock at the back door of the county government.

Liang Zhaohuang asked his second sister and others to look at the two cargo ships, as well as the smuggling monks on the cargo ship. He went up to take a photo and opened the back door of the county government office, revealed his identity, and asked to see the county magistrate.

The yamen guarding the gate conveyed messages inside, and Liang Zhaohuang was waiting outside.

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

The county magistrate Xie Wenyun summoned him this time in a side hall in the back of the county yamen. When Liang Zhaohuang arrived, he happened to see a maid taking down breakfast and serving tea.

In the breakfast I removed, there was still half a bowl of rice porridge left. Liang Zhaohuang saw the familiar "yellow rice" from it.

"Qingque, tell the kitchen not to use 'yellow millet' to make porridge tomorrow. I can't get used to it, so I'd better change it to the 'red teeth millet' we brought from Yanzhou."

Xie Wenyun gave an order.

"Yes, Master."

The maid who took the dining plate and stepped back with a greeting.

Xie Wenyun picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, looked at Liang Zhaohuang, and asked, "Inspector Liang, I heard that you came before dawn? Why are you going to be so in a hurry?"

"Report to the county magistrate!" Liang Zhaohuang stepped forward and saluted, looking serious and serious, saying: "The last time the master hired a senior official to inquire about the work of the river inspection, but the senior official failed to answer, and felt deeply ashamed."

"So after the Xiaguan returned, he immediately took over the River Inspection Department, performed his duties conscientiously, inspected day and night, and did not dare to delay."

"Last night, when the official led people to patrol the 'Grey Reed Lake', he accidentally found someone engaged in a smuggling transaction."

"For the sake of duty, the subordinate officials will take down both parties that are conducting smuggling transactions and seize the goods that are smuggled."

"But unexpectedly found that one of the smuggling parties was actually the Lu family of the county tycoon "Yunshui" and the number of goods traded was huge!"

"The officials dare not make arbitrary decisions in this matter. They come to report to the county magistrate and ask for instructions."

"'Yunshui' Lu family, ha!" County Magistrate Xie Wenyun chuckled and asked, "The number of goods is huge? How big can it be?"

"There are many third-level spiritual materials and treasures, and the officials are shallow in their knowledge and cannot estimate the specific value."

Liang Zhaohuang replied.

"The official has escorted the cargo ship to the back door of the county government office, and the adults can send someone to count it."

County Magistrate Xie Wenyun nodded, and indifferently pointed to the maid aside, saying, "Huangli, go and inspector Liang to take a look."

"Yes, Master!"

The maid beside him bowed and responded, and came to Liang Zhaohuang.

"Mr. County magistrate, the lower magistrate will retire first."

Seeing this, Liang Zhaohuang also bowed with a tribute, and then took his maid Huang Li all the way out of the county government office and came to the dock of the back door of the county government office.

The two cargo ships are still here, and no smuggling prisoners escorted on the ship have caused any trouble.

The maid Huang Li sent by Xie Wenyun County Magistrate is indeed a "professional", or knowledgeable. Whether it is a rare treasure in the sea or a variety of spiritual ores, whether it is a second or third level, there is nothing she doesn't know about, and she can even judge the quality of it.

Liang Zhaohuang saw her take out a Qing book and register the cargoes on the two cargo ships in a classified manner, listing them in detail, and following each item, there is a evaluation of quality and quality, and finally listing the value.

The two cargo ships and a large amount of cargo were counted and completed after nearly two hours.

Then the maid Huang Li took Qing Ce back to the county government office, and Liang Zhaohuang followed closely behind.

In the county government office, county magistrate Xie Wenyun had already changed into a set of clothes and was teasing a cage bird in a garden in the county government office.

"Young Master, the goods have been counted."

"There are about 200,000 stones of third-level spiritual rice, about 400,000 stones of second-level spiritual rice, and about 700,000 stones of first-level spiritual rice."

"The third-level spiritual salt is about 50,000 stones, the second-level spiritual salt is about 100,000 stones, and the first-level spiritual salt is about 300,000 stones."

"The East China Sea has five hundred pieces in the third level, thousands of pieces in the second level, and three thousand pieces in the first level."

"There are also various spiritual ores, including about 100,000 jin in the third level, about 600,000 jin in the second level, and about 1 million jin in the first level."

"All the goods are worth about 200,000 top-grade spirit stones!"

After the maid Huang Li reported the report, she delivered the book of her hand.

County Magistrate Xie Wenyun put down the bird cage, took the Qingpian and flipped it out, shook his head slightly and said, "Ha, there is something really."

Then, he drew some notes on the Qingpian, threw the Qingpian to Liang Zhaohuang, and said, "Leave the goods I have drawn, and take the rest back to the inspection department."

"Then don't worry about the rest."

"Yes, the county magistrate." Liang Zhaohuang took the Qingqun, and responded directly without looking through it. Then hesitated and asked: "How to deal with those smuggling personnel?"

"According to the regulations of the Inspection Department, if there is someone to redeem it, then send it to Fuyushan Mine for service."

"yes."

Liang Zhaohuang bowed and responded, and then left the county government office.

After returning to the boat after the county government office, he opened the Qing Book. When the maid Huang Li counted these supplies just now, Liang Zhaohuang followed him to watch, which made him quite knowledgeable.

At least he had already known the supplies on both ships at this time and knew the approximate value.

After looking through it, I found that the county magistrate didn't get much of the supplies on this "Qing Book", but they were all valuable supplies.

Almost half of the third-level materials were separated, leaving the most third-level materials, but instead yellow rice.

Liang Zhaohuang made a brief estimate of the value of the materials drawn by the county magistrate Xie Wenyun accounted for about two-thirds of the total value of the two ships.

In other words, he was busy all night and fought one after another. Most of the supplies he had finally obtained had to be handed over to the county magistrate Xie Wenyun.

The other party just rested in the county government for a night, and woke up in the morning and had a hearty breakfast. Without doing anything, he could harvest so much supplies and wealth!

Thinking about it, Liang Zhaohuang is really a little unwilling to accept it.

But it is useless to be unwilling to accept it. You have as much appetite as you eat. The Liang family is still just a small seedling, and you must also find big trees to shelter you from the wind and rain, protect your family from having time and conditions to grow up.

Just treat it as paying the protection fee!

"move!"

At the order of Liang Zhaohuang, he and his second sister, fourth brother and others sorted out the materials drawn out by the county magistrate from the two cargo ships. The servants of the Xie family took over and moved them into the county government.

It took nearly an hour before Liang Zhaohuang and others classified all the materials and completed the transport.

The materials drawn by the county magistrate Xie Wenyun were sent to the county government office, and the rest were still on the boat. Liang Zhaohuang directly escorted the two cargo ships into the river inspection department wharf, sent the goods into the warehouse, and then took the two smuggling monks to the river inspection department water prison for detention.

At this time, the two foundation-building monks of the Lu family stopped barking and shouting. They all clearly saw Liang Zhaohuang sending a large amount of supplies into the county government and knew that the county magistrate had intervened, and that the subsequent things were no longer possible, they could not control them and expected.

However, the eyes of the two of them looking at Liang Zhaohuang were still full of viciousness and hatred, as if they wanted to burst into pieces and kill him immediately.

Liang Zhaohuang frowned, and couldn't help but recall the knowledge he knew. Is there anyone who could use a secret trick to destroy the foundation-building monk?
