Chapter 118: The Backstage of Dongshan Bank

"Shopkeeper Liu, please give me your thoughts."

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you are so polite. You are a friend introduced by Lao Wang. I will definitely help you deliver your things to the Chamber of Commerce."

Having said that, he didn't hesitate at all when he accepted the Dongshan tea sent by Liu Yifeng.

Dongshan Prefecture is short of good tea, which can be seen from the fact that the eunuchs of Dongchang gave Song Yingxing so many new teas at Jinzhou Port.

But Dongshan Prefecture is not without good tea.

Just the year before last, there was finally a tea business that successfully planted tea and built a tea house outside the city.

Tea can be grown in North America, and there are tea gardens in many places in the United States in later generations. However, the coffee culture is prevalent in America, and the cost of local tea is too high, so it is not as good as imported tea, so those tea gardens grow only high-quality tea.

On the West Coast, later in the Vancouver-Seattle area, and in parts of California, there are records of successful tea cultivation. The water, soil and climate are all suitable for growing tea trees, so it is not surprising that the first tea house in Dongshan Prefecture appeared in the city of Xishan.

The eunuch of Jinzhou Dongchang didn't know this, so he gave Song Yingxing so much tea because Dongshanzhou was short of good tea.

However, a tea house cannot supply the tea drinking needs of ordinary people. The ordinary green tea currently named Dongshan Tea is still a high-consumption tea.

The tea leaves sent by Liu Yifeng were also packed in a gift box made of golden nanmu. The box alone was worth 10 taels of silver, but the tea leaves inside were only 15 taels.

"Then I'll have to trouble Shopkeeper Liu more."

Fortunately, shopkeeper Liu's ship was a small fortune ship, but after he knew that Liu Yifeng had so much cargo, he directly called two equally large fortune ships. The three ships formed a small fleet and slowly left Jinshan City.

, heading north.

So the people following him from Dongshan Bank and Zhang Xianzhong were completely dumbfounded. The people from Dongshan Bank could only tell the situation to Shopkeeper Xia. After hearing this, he was silent for a few seconds and asked his people to come back, ready to give up.

But when his people came back, they brought a man with them.

"Who are you?"

"This sir, this villain is a small leader under Zhang Bandit."

"You are brave enough. Someone come and send it to the Maritime Safety Administration."

Zhang Xianzhong took the initiative to contact the people from Dongshan Bank. He had already discovered that someone was following Liu Yifeng and the others, so he thought of contacting him. After seeing Liu Yifeng leaving by boat and being unable to follow him, he decisively found the people from Dongshan Bank.

People say they know Liu Yifeng’s secret.

When he heard that he was going to be sent to the Maritime Safety Bureau, Zhang Xianzhong suppressed the fear in his heart and pretended to be calm and said: "Sir, don't you want to know the secret of Zhang? The secret about gold!"

Shopkeeper Xia didn't say anything and continued to drink his tea. It wasn't until four big men controlled Zhang Xianzhong and pulled him to the door. When Zhang Xianzhong decided to fight back, he put down his teacup and said, "Let him go."

Zhang Xianzhong straightened his collar, took a deep breath to suppress his anger at being fooled, and said, "Sir, I really know the secret of that Zhang!"

"Well, tell me."

The veins on Zhang Xianzhong's forehead popped out. Why didn't the man opposite show any sincerity at all? "Why don't you listen to my terms first?"

"Conditions?" Shopkeeper Xia sneered and said, "You're a gangster, how dare you ask me for conditions? Forget it, I'm not interested anymore. I'll drag you out and give him a beating and send him to the Maritime Safety Administration."

Zhang Xianzhong was not controlled obediently this time. He stood up and turned around, kicking one of the people over. Then he started fighting with the other three people. He barely defended himself from the attacks of the three people and shouted loudly.

: "Sir, you are not going to know about a batch of gold mines that no one knows about, are you? Okay, then you can send me to the Maritime Safety Administration, and I will deal directly with the Maritime Safety Administration!"

After hearing the words "a gold mine that no one knows about", Shopkeeper Xia finally couldn't sit still, stood up and ordered: "Okay, stop!"

Zhang Xianzhong had already been suppressed by four people, especially the one who was kicked over unprepared. If Shopkeeper Xia shouted to stop more slowly, he would have been ready to kick Zhang Xianzhong hard in the crotch.

Shopkeeper Xia walked up to Zhang Xianzhong, who was kneeling on the ground while being held by two men each: "In fact, I don't have to send you to the Maritime Safety Bureau. Although I don't have as many professional interrogators as the Maritime Safety Bureau here, I can't help you."

It is possible to cut off a few of your fingers if you have one arm. Do you think you can hold on? If you are wise, say it now."

Zhang Xianzhong just smiled, raised his head with great effort, looked at Shopkeeper Xia and said, "Do you think I didn't think of this?"

Shopkeeper Xia's face turned a little ugly: "What do you mean?"

"I made an agreement with my companions before I came in. If you don't see me coming out for half an hour, you will surrender to the Maritime Safety Bureau and tell you the news about me."

Shopkeeper Xia looked at Zhang Xianzhong in silence for a while, smiled, and asked: "What are your conditions?"

"With a clear identity, I will work for you!"

"I'm not short of bitches."

"I'm more useful than the average loser."

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong finished speaking, he felt severe pain in his arm. The two people holding him down were obviously angry and subconsciously wanted to twist his hand off.

Shopkeeper Xia glanced at the two of them, and they quickly relaxed their grip.

"Why do you think we can help you clear your name?"

"It is said that the people behind Dongshan Bank are descendants of Mr. Zhang Ge!"

"That's just a rumor."

"The rumors are also well-founded. The only bank in Dongshan Prefecture that has nothing to do with the Maritime Safety Administration that can exchange banknotes. Even if the backend is not a descendant of Mr. Zhang Ge, he is still a big shot!"

The two looked at each other in silence for more than ten seconds, and finally Shopkeeper Xia spoke first: "What's your name?"

"Zhang San."

"Okay, Zhang San, I promise you, let him go."

After Zhang Xianzhong stood up, he bowed respectfully to Shopkeeper Xia, and then after the four men pushed him down, he told Liu Yifeng that he had mastered a gold mine vein.

"That mineral vein was discovered by Zhang Bandit, but the specific location was controlled by Zhang Bandit's military advisor, a short man named Song Xiance. This Song Xiance was captured by the man named Zhang. This happened more than a month ago. After that

The man named Zhang disappeared and came back with gold."

"Why do you know so clearly?"

"My lord, when Commander Song was arrested, I was at the scene. I was the only one who escaped."

"Okay, I understand, you go down first, I will arrange it for you later."

"Thank you, sir!"

After Zhang Xianzhong left, Shopkeeper Xia organized his thoughts and walked into the inner courtyard. This is the residence of his boss, which is also the residence of the people behind Dongshan Bank as Zhang Xianzhong said.

But it doesn't mean that the person behind Dongshan Bank lives here, it's just that he happened to be in Dongshan Prefecture this year, and Song Yingxing followed him after he went to Jinshan City a month ago. Naturally, he lived in his own property.

"Sir, Xia Jie would like to see you."

"Let him in."

"yes."
