Chapter 222 The Liu Family Suffers a Setback

The head of the Liu family boarded the ship for a purpose. He also ordered people to search the ship where Song Jin was.

This is a more careful search.

Song Jin knew clearly that the other party was not searching for a person, but rather the lost account book.

Pretending to be ignorant, Song Jin gave the other party the opportunity to search, thereby clearing himself of suspicion.

The head of the Liu family exchanged a few words with Song Jin.

Song Jin never tired of talking to him about Jianning's specialties, hoping to take the opportunity to make a deal. The head of the Liu family was feeling irritated and just said a few perfunctory words. When the searchers shook their heads to indicate that they found nothing, the head of the Liu family hurriedly left the ship as if he was being chased by a dog.

"Hey, Master Liu, let's talk next time."

Song Jin shouted loudly behind the other person.

It was so warm, as if they were very familiar with each other.

The smile on her face gradually faded until the head of the Liu family left.

Xing Lun, Zhou Wei and others followed Song Jin and had long been convinced by her.

"Boss, are we going to continue with the schedule tomorrow morning?"

Xing Lun asked softly, bringing Song Jin back to his senses.

Song Jin said: "The itinerary remains the same."

"Will the Liu family withdraw tomorrow morning?" Xing Lun asked uncertainly.

Zhou Wei also said: "We want to leave. If the Liu family does not allow us to do so, there may be a conflict."

"We have cooperated with the Liu family in the search. We can't delay our trip again because of the Liu family, right?" Song Jin decided to leave tomorrow morning regardless of whether the Liu family would let her go or not.

Besides, this itinerary was planned early in the morning.

The time was not decided at the last minute because of something going on at the Liu family. If we didn't leave at the originally scheduled time, it might be more suspicious. We had to try to see if we could leave as we wished.

Leaving Song Jin's fleet behind.

Other merchant ships are still being searched.

Originally Song Jin thought that his side was the one causing trouble, but after Qin Ba went to inquire, he found that there was quite a lot of trouble.

Whenever there was any movement, Qin Ba would go check it out, and when he came back he would share with Song Jin, "Boss Mo said that the jade ring in the room was missing, and he said it was an heirloom, and he was arguing with the Liu family."

“I knew these people were restless.”

Song Jin enjoyed listening to gossip.

The forces behind the Liu family are all treated as bandits.

Not everyone can resist seeing something good.

Then there was another disturbance, saying that the piled up cargo boxes in the cabin collapsed due to the people searching.

Now, the losses are heavy.

The reason is that there are porcelains in the cargo box, and they will all be broken if it falls over.

Song Jin looked at it and laughed again.

Seeing how interested Song Jin was, Qin Qi reminded him, "Don't you want to take a break, Boss? It's getting late."

"I'm so energetic that I can't fall asleep even if I go in."

Song Jin was not lying, he was truly full of energy.

There is more to it than that.

The Liu family has offended a lot of people by conducting such a search.

Song Jin could be said to be openly searched because she would never let her secrets be easily discovered. Another very important point was that when she came out, she promised Qin Chi that she would do business seriously.

Therefore, they are not afraid of the officials coming to search.

Others are different.

The head of the Liu family also discovered it soon.

The real difficult one is not Song Jin.

Song Jin has a backer, so as long as the profit is high enough, the Liu family can search at will.

After searching in the middle of the night.

There were only two fleets that did not allow others to search, and they almost confronted the officials and the Liu family.

Therefore, the situation remains at a stalemate.

The Liu family almost surrounded the two fleets.

Song Jin was so lucky that the head of the Liu family had completely forgotten about her. Compared to a little grasshopper like her, the two fleets were more suspicious.

In order to watch the play, Song Jin didn't sleep all night.

"Do you know who those two caravans belong to?"

Song Jin was certain that the two merchant ships had a powerful backer, not a small one at that, and they were not afraid of the Liu family at all.

Qin Ba asked again, "Should I go and find out?"

"Forget it, I'll do it."

Song Jin flicked his sleeves, and surrounded by the crowd, he left the cargo ship and went over there to watch the fun.

It's not just Song Brocade.

People from other boats would also come down to take a look.

"Boss Song!"

Yoshikawa used his chubby body to push through the crowd and squeeze to Song Jin's side.

Just as he was about to get closer, Qin Qi blocked him with his hand.

This behavior made Yoshikawa's eyes sparkle, "Boss Song, what a coincidence, you're here to watch the fun too?"

"I'm not curious."

Song Jin pointed to the largest ship not far away, which was also one of the fleets confronting the Liu family. "Those people on the ship are guards, they are fully armed and equipped, and they are not simple at first glance."

Yoshikawa nodded repeatedly and said in not very standard Chinese: "It's not simple. It's very difficult."

"Do you know whose fleet it is?" Song Jin took the opportunity to ask.

Yoshikawa shook his head and said he didn't know.

There are quite a few caravans at this dock, but not all of them are caravans.

Then Yoshikawa pointed at a few of the boats and whispered mysteriously, "Those boats are not allowed to be searched, so they are probably not clean."

Not clean?

Song Jin suddenly pretended to be enlightened.

This is the ship in question.

Sure enough, the officers and the Liu family boarded the ship and searched it, and found more than a dozen innocent girls and a group of abducted children. This was a big case.

Patriarch Liu seized the opportunity.

Send these people to the yamen.

It can be considered as solving a case for the government and enhancing my reputation.

After this incident, the Liu family's forceful search of the dock could divert public anger, and their reputation might even be improved. In addition, it was also a warning to several other large ships.

Make the masses suspicious and refuse to allow the search.

Are there any secrets that cannot be told?

Finally, a very imposing middle-aged man appeared on the boat and handed a jade pendant to the leading official.

When the officer saw the jade token, he immediately knelt down.

Just as he was about to say something, he was kicked to the ground by the middle-aged man. He cursed at him and the officer dared not say a word.

Songjin Station is quite far away.

Can't hear what they say.

But because of this incident, the Liu family ultimately failed to find the fleet.

The Liu family ultimately failed to find the thief.

The only fleet that did not cooperate with their search became a thorn in the heart of Master Liu.

After evacuating the people.

Standing in the distance and watching the big ships at the dock.

The head of the Liu family gestured to his confidant.

Butler Liu secretly approached an official.

He stuffed a silver note into the leading officer's pocket and asked, "Sir, can you tell me where this person came from?"

The official took the banknote calmly and said, "Yes, it's a distinguished person from Beijing."

Butler Liu understood what he meant.

The officer whispered in awe, "That is a white jade axe-shaped pendant with a carved dragon and a chi."

It was the first time in his life that he had seen it with his own eyes.

I used to see patterns.

In order to prevent officials from endangering nobles, the government would compile items that symbolize status into a book and send it to the government offices of various prefectures so that those who serve would recognize them before taking up their posts.

The head of the Liu family learned of this result.

Nothing was said on the surface.

But behind the scenes he began to order others to investigate.
