Enter the Room

Shao Qing laughed loudly and returned to his previous sunny and cheerful appearance.

Song Jiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Dai Sishi ran over and said with an embarrassed expression: "My boss, the people from the inspection department want fifty taels of silver, which is the wages of the trackers."

If it was really the trackers' wages, why didn't the trackers come to ask for money, but the people from the inspection department asked for the money?

This is clearly extortion.

Inspection departments all over the country often do this kind of thing, which is good. At least there is a name for it. Some of them don't even have a fig leaf, and simply ask for money directly.

Song Jiyun had already been mentally prepared.

This is also normal loss for merchants.

She asked Zhou Zheng to take the money and give it to Dai Sishi.

Then he observed Shao Qing's expression.

Shao Qing didn't seem to feel anything inappropriate. He was chatting with several boatmen there and was preparing to fish with them at night.

Song Jiyun thought about his reactions to these things along the way, which showed that he was not very clear about these little tricks.

Following Yuan Yunzhong, he didn't know about these general affairs...

Song Jiyun walked away to regain his consciousness.

Who would have thought that they gave up their spot on the boat, but the cross-eyed man in the inspection department asked someone to bring a lucky boat like theirs over.

The man who looked like a steward on the lucky ship was still rubbing shoulders with Cross Eyes, and looked very familiar with him.

I don’t know if he spent money to clear his cross-eyes or if it has something to do with the inspection department?

Song Jiyun glanced at it and forgot about it.

She repeatedly told Dai Siji to arrange night patrols and vigils.

She was not afraid of thieves getting on the ship, but she was afraid of people from the inspection department becoming thieves. If the officials and the bandit's family are still shouting to catch the thief, then there is no way she can save her ship's worth of porcelain.

Dai Sishi obviously knew the power of it, and discussed with Song Jiyun the arrangements for night patrols and vigils.

A curse came from the bow.

Song Jiyun and Dai Sishi looked up.

I saw Shao Qing angrily throwing the fishing rod on the deck of the boat with a "snap", pointing at the lucky boat parked at their original position and asking loudly: "What's going on?"

Song Jiyun walked over quickly with Dai Sishi.

The Fuchuan steward who occupied their position heard Shao Qing's movements. Not only did he not calm down the matter, but he smiled arrogantly at Shao Qing, turned around and said enthusiastically to Cross Eyes and the others: "Thank you, officials." Master, I’m treating you to Zuixian Tower. I won’t come home until you get drunk today.”

Cross Eyes and other people from the Inspection Department also smiled openly. Cross Eyes even said sarcastically: "Some people just don't understand current affairs!"

Shao Qing was so angry that he held on to the side of the boat and was about to jump off.

Song Jiyun held him tightly and said: "We have something on the boat, it's better to stop here."

Those boats of the same size as them all occupy better positions, but because each other's boats are about the same size, the sides of the boats are next to each other, and you can jump over the side of the boat to jump to the other's boat. Because their location was not very good, there were big boats mixed with small boats. The big boat could easily flip onto the small boat, but the people on the small boat could not easily get onto the big boat.

This is also the main reason why Song Jiyun is willing to give up his original ship's seat.

Since Shao Qing learned that her newly made blue and white plum vases, a pair of foot-high ones could be sold for two thousand taels of silver, he saw that this ship of porcelain was no longer porcelain, but a ship of gold.

After hearing what Song Jiyun said, he immediately stopped drumming and flags.

The cross-eyed chicken glanced at them and walked away with the steward of Fuchuan.

Unexpectedly, when they got up the next morning, the water transport ships left the dock one after another, and the people from the inspection department also began to follow their normal procedures to read their route guides and inspect their goods. However, Cross Eyes suddenly brought a group of people up and stopped them from leaving, saying that they had discovered escaping water pirates and that all passing ships needed to re-inspect their routes and cargo.

Song Jiyun looked at the ships on the left and right.

Everyone needs to re-examine.

Song Jiyun frowned.

She was not afraid of them checking again, but these people were very rough. When they inspected the cargo on their ship, they almost broke a porcelain bottle of their height.

What's more, this cross-eyed chicken looks bad at others.

She and Zhou Zheng discussed in a low voice: "You go to the inspection department and see if you can do something about it, and let someone else inspect our ship."

Zhou Zheng also agreed with Song Jiyun's method. He took a pocket of money and went to the Inspection Department.

Soon, another person was sent to inspect their ship.

However, Crosseye pulled the person aside and muttered for a long time. The other person hesitated for a while, and finally stood on Crosseye's side and led Crosseye to their cargo hold.

Cross Eyes' eyes turned red when he saw the porcelain they brought. He pulled the other person aside and murmured for a while. When they got on the deck, the tone of the group of people's words changed: "The cargo is overweight, triple the fine."

According to imperial decree, taxes will be levied on goods passing through the Inspection Department.

In other words, they will have to pay taxes once more.

And it’s three times as big as last time.

Song Jiuyun's porcelain is highly profitable, so he is not afraid that they will impose another tax.

But it makes people unhappy when they are clearly bullying people like this.

The cross-eyed man was still looking at them sideways, and he cursed pointedly: "I don't know how to praise!"

Song Jiyun smiled coldly when he thought that he still had King Zhang Huai's name card in his hand. He was about to make a big deal out of these troublesome brats and deal with the King of Hell. Shao Qing had already scolded him without saying a word. , he kicked the cross-eyed man on the deck with his foot, pointed at the cross-eyed man and said, "I want to see how you fucking lift me up!"

The people in the Inspection Department probably never dreamed that someone would dare to beat them in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, and in public. Bewildered for a moment. But he quickly came to his senses, whipped out the sword and stick from his waist and greeted Shao Qing.

Song Jiuyun was very beautiful in both lives. She would easily meet people from all walks of life, so in order to avoid trouble, she either hid in the cabin or wore a hat.

Hearing the noise, she grabbed a curtain hat and put it on her head and ran out of the cabin. She saw a dozen people surrounding Shao Qing. Dai Sishi and the bodyguard she hired to help protect the ship were stunned. There, the people couldn't help but became anxious and yelled loudly: "You are all dead! If you don't fight back when you see your own people being beaten, whoever dares to give their back to you in the future."

That's someone from the Inspection Department!

The escorts were still hesitating, but Dai Sishi and the others knew how powerful Song Jiuyun was and had no doubts about her ability. They immediately rushed over and helped Shao Qing fight with the people from the Inspection Department.

have to!

Several escorts saw that even if they didn't take action, they probably wouldn't be able to stay out of it, so they simply rolled up their sleeves and joined the fight.

People were coming and going on the pier, and the conflict here quickly attracted everyone's attention. Someone from the inspection department was beaten, which was serious. Someone immediately reported it to the inspection department.

Soon, people in green official robes led a large group of government officials in black clothes and soap boots holding sticks and rushed toward them aggressively, shouting: "Who is it? Even the people from the inspection department Do you dare to fight? I think he is desperate for his life?"

The Inspection Department of Nanjing Xiaguan Wharf is not just any inspection department. Others are from the yamen of the 9th or 9th grade, but it is the 7th grade.

And although it was under the control of Tianfu, the people in charge were the personal guards under the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army of the Nanjing Ministry of War.

Many meritorious disciples of Nanjing live here to earn a living.

This is the first time in so many years that a person from the Inspection Department has been beaten.
