An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

On the mast of the big ship, Zhao was sitting alone, with a pot of strong wine in his hand. Quietly enjoying the river breeze and the flashing lights on both sides of the river, leisurely and at ease.

It has been five days since he moved grain late at night in Bianzhou, and now his main job is to ensure that there are no problems with the ships transporting grain.

For him, all he needs to do is teach others how to do it. It is not advisable to do it himself.

Firstly, there are a total of eight state capitals, and the straight-line distance is more than 껜miles, and he can't move separately, so moving one by one is too slow; secondly, if there are coolies who don't have to do it, he will be burdened. Isn't that stupid?

In short, the method has been taught step by step, and 껩 has taken the lead in practicing it. If you don't do it well, it will be rude.

So after that night in Bianzhou, Zhao divided 꺘굛그 into 굛 teams, and each team went to the official warehouse of different states to move grain. And he, Zhuque and Jianghu were sitting on the boat, floating on the river, ready to pick up and transport food at any time. Once it was full, they would immediately transport it back to the villa.

Finally, the inventory was correct and handed over to 그 sent by Lu Wenyu, and the whole process was over.

So in the past few days, Zhao had been very relaxed. He only had to sit on the boat and didn't have to worry about the rest.

"Zhao Da그 has entered Bianzhou."

The boatman raised his head and shouted from below.

"Okay." After putting the stopper on, Zhao jumped down from the mast and landed firmly in front of the boatman.

The two walked to the bow of the boat and looked at the front of the canal in silence. Although they had not encountered any questioning or inspection in the past few years, he still did not dare to take it lightly.

After all, a boatload of food...

껩I don’t know if I am unlucky or I deserve this disaster. Walking up the canal, not long after walking, I saw several soldiers holding lanterns standing on the river bank.

The boatman glanced at Zhao and saw that he was still calm, so he reminded him, "Zhao, we don't have any lanterns on the boat to identify ourselves. If..."

It was Zhao Jiu who ordered not to hang up the lantern. He was worried that they would be searched on the boat, which was normal. Think about it, on the dark river, a boat with no lights visible floats back and forth, everyone has to be suspicious.

"No need to worry, just go back to the cabin and I will take care of it." Zhao patted his shoulder and comforted him softly.

Then he came closer and said fiercely, "Tell the others, don't be afraid, keep your mouth shut! If you say something you shouldn't say, I guarantee that your corpses will float on the river!"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

The boatman has been sailing for many years, but he still doesn’t understand? Nodding like a fool, "Understand that Da그, we are dumb and can't speak a word!"

"That's best. Don't worry, if I say it's okay, it will be okay." After softening his expression, Zhao warned, "Stop the boat when the shore tells you to stop."

After saying "Okay", the boatman hurriedly ran back. He had to inform the others. If we go out together to run a boat, we must go back together.

The boat was not moving fast, and it was not until half a quarter of an hour later that someone on the shore was heard shouting at the top of his lungs: "Stop the boat! Hedao Yamen, what is on the boat? Why don't you hang a lantern?"

A boatman at the stern lowered the anchor and walked a little distance before stopping.

Immediately, soldiers approached with lanterns, looked up at Zhao Jiu, and asked, "What's on the boat?"

Zhao jumped off the boat, stood in front of the soldiers, and said calmly and calmly, "On the boat are pens, inks, paper, inkstones, tables, chairs, desks, and some books and classics."

The soldier squatted down with a lantern and carefully looked at how deep the boat was. Then he sneered, "Hahaha, pen, ink, paper and inkstone? Table, chair and desk? Do you think I am blind?"

He raised the lantern and shone it on Zhao Jiu's face to see if he was someone he couldn't afford to offend. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the first time I have seen the other person's face, so there is a high probability that he is not a respectable person.

Although he had just been transferred to the Hedao Yamen, he 껩땣, who was a well-known person in Bianzhou City, recognized them all. Although the 그 in front of me has a bit of Bianzhou 껙, and the clothes 껩 are made of good materials, my face is raw, so I shouldn't be working for 그.

He felt relieved, put his hand on the handle at his waist, and scolded, "I ask you again, what's on the boat? If you don't want to tell me, I'll go up and check and it's the same!"

"Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, tables, chairs and desks." Zhao Jiu said exactly the same thing.

I will never give up until I reach the Yellow River! The soldiers stretched out their hands to push Zhao Jiu away and went up to check.

At this time, a waist badge was placed in front of him, "Read the words on it clearly, and then decide whether to go up."

By the light of the lantern, the words "House" on the waist badge are clearly visible. Although the soldier was a little wary, seeing that there was no lantern hanging on the boat, he still asked, "This is against the rules. Why don't you let me go up and have a look..."

Snap.

He was greeted with a slap. Zhao Ju said with an arrogant expression, "You are so shameless, how dare you stop the Marquis' ship?"

He covered his face and wanted to say something, but was grabbed by the captain who walked quickly. Then he saluted Zhao and said, "You can go over there. There are pens, ink, paper, inkstones, tables, chairs, and desks on the boat!"

"The night was so dark that the boat was so high that we didn't see clearly. If you don't remember it, just pretend you haven't seen us."

After a quick glance, Zhao said, "I haven't seen you tonight." Then he circulated his energy and jumped back to the bow of the ship.

Shouted to the boatman, "Keep going, don't stop!"

As the big ship walked away, the captain was relieved and patted the soldier's arm angrily, "Qi Qi, what are you doing? Can't you see the situation clearly? How dare you stop this ship!"

"Captain, didn't you see the lantern?" Qi Qi, covering half of his face, said aggrievedly, "I don't know what the taboos are..."

The captain sighed, "Taboo? You don't know yet, right? The only son of Mr. Li has built an academy called Wangyou Villa next to the official road."

"Academy? How big of an academy does it use so many pens, inks, paper, inkstones, tables, chairs, and desks?" Qi Qi said with confusion and annoyance, "Captain, you don't know how deep the water is for that big ship!"

"Academy?" The captain laughed, pulled him to the side, looked around Wu Jing, and then explained, "Academy? Brothel!"

"Eighty-nine percent of the people on this boat are women! The depth of the water is due to the rocks!"

Qi Qi's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it, "No, right? The only son of the Marquis doesn't need to engage in this kind of business, right? Does the Emperor allow it?"

Seeing the unseen look on his face, the captain had no choice but to lower his voice and explain, "Oh, you are stupid, the shopkeeper is not Mr. 께, the emperor just doesn't allow it, 껩 can't find Mr. 께, what is he afraid of?"

"Besides, the brothel might be just a cover. You don't understand."

After patting his shoulder, he led him back.

...

The big ship went up the river and didn't dock until dawn.

Li Yizhen had been waiting on the shore for a long time. When she saw Zhao, she came down and greeted with a smile, "My brother, it's been a hard journey."

"Hahaha, brother, have you been waiting all night?" Zhao said with a smile as he cupped his hands.

"We didn't have to wait long!" Li Yizhen smiled and said while asking 그 to move the food.

Looking at the busy crowd, Zhao frowned and asked, "How many loads did you transport in total?"

After counting on his fingers for a while, Li Yizhen said solemnly, "Old Jiang has come back several times, and that person is, including you these two times."

"Almost 60,000 loads!"
