Herfordshire.

Golden Island.

"Master, according to time calculation, the cargo ship will come back tomorrow. Do you think we will sell it this time as before?"

settle down.

An Changfu, the head of the An family, was listening to the report from his subordinates.

After listening, he put the tea cup in his hand on the table beside him, tapped his fingers on the table twice rhythmically, and then ordered:
"No! We can't sell it according to the previous arrangement. We have given the Chen family so many discounts before, and they dare to lower our price. In this case, let them suffer a loss.

The original 30% for the Chen family was reduced to 20%, leaving an extra 10% for the Wang family.

We want them to know that it is they who are asking us to settle down and take our goods, not us asking them to settle down! "

"understand!"

The subordinate nodded and was about to leave, but An Changfu stayed back and asked: "There have been no accidents recently, right?"

The subordinate shook his head: "Master, everything is as usual, nothing happened."

"That's good."

An Changfu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why he had been feeling agitated recently, and an uneasy feeling frequently struck him.

Now that he heard that business was going as usual, he just thought he was overthinking it.

At the same time, in several counties along the southeastern coast, many maritime merchants are preparing for the day when cargo ships return to port.

The sea is very rough, so the best way to go out to sea is to ride the monsoon wind, so that you can reach your destination as quickly as possible, and the same goes for coming back.

Therefore, the return day to Hong Kong is a fixed date every year.

Nowadays, many of them are involved in smuggling, which means that in addition to arranging the normal return of goods to Hong Kong, they also have to arrange the return of the smuggling side to Hong Kong.

As a result, everyone is extremely busy during this period.

However, while many maritime businessmen were preparing for their return to Hong Kong, they did not know that their secret business was already on the verge of danger.

Xingwu four years, May 31st.

Tomorrow is the day when ships going out to sea begin to return to port. People who have been arranged by various maritime merchants in various ports have already been waiting here early.

And just as everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, smuggling ports in several coastal counties like Taipo Mountain are also making preparations to receive the ship.

"Second brother! Second child! Where did he die!"

"Here! Here! Here! I'm here!"

At the smuggling port behind Taipo Mountain, Wang Liu, who was patrolling, shouted angrily.

In the cargo storage area not far away, the voice of his younger brother Wang Xiaoer hurriedly responded.

Originally patrolling well, Wang Liu suddenly found that his younger brother who had been following him was missing. Knowing that this guy was lazy and lazy, he immediately thought that this guy was lazy somewhere, so he hurriedly called out.

After receiving the response, Wang Liu immediately ran towards Wang Xiaoer's position angrily, and kept cursing as he ran:
"It's okay if you are usually lazy. Do you know that these two days are the days when the cargo ship returns to the port? We have been told by the superiors to strengthen patrols during these days.

Do you know that if others find out about your behavior, I won’t be able to protect you!
Do you know how deep the water is here?

Once you're given up, you won't even be able to save your life!

......"

Wang Liuxu came to Wang Xiaoer's side nonchalantly. As soon as he got closer, he realized that this boy was hiding here and lifting his pants. The smell of urine suddenly hit him, and he immediately frowned and took two steps back.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoer, who was tying his belt, quickly put on a playful smile and said:

"Brother! Don't be angry. Don't I have three emergencies? Don't worry, now that the three emergencies have been solved, I will definitely not be left behind!"

Wang Xiaoer patted his chest and promised again and again.

Wang Liu snorted coldly: "Huh! Lazy people poop a lot!" After saying that, he turned around and continued patrolling along the established route, and Wang Xiaoer hurriedly followed.

There are more than a hundred patrol teams like the Wang Brothers in the current Taipo Mountain Private Port, and they are conducting thorough patrols along the entire private port to eliminate all risks.

During the period when the cargo ship returns to the port, it is also the time when the private port is most heavily guarded. A patrol team of two to three hundred people patrols day and night to ensure the smooth return of the cargo ship.

The next day.

As the morning sun rises, the fiery red sun rises slowly from the sea level. The warm sunshine dispels the mist on the sea surface, allowing everything on the sea surface to appear clearly before everyone's eyes.

The sea breeze blows, blowing the hair of everyone on the coast constantly flying backwards, and the smell of salty sea water makes people go to head.

The pick-up crews from various companies at the private port all looked at the sea with eager eyes, expecting their merchant ships to come back as soon as possible.

I don’t know if it was their sincerity that moved the heavens. After a while, large ships appeared one after another on the boundless sea surface. After a while, the sea surface that was just empty was filled with densely packed ships. The shadow is getting closer.

"The ship is back!"

I don’t know who shouted first, and the others immediately cheered.

Start preparing to pick up the ship.

Soon, the merchant ship that had just been in sight finally docked slowly at the port and lowered its side planks. The workers who had been waiting here hurriedly boarded the ship to unload the goods and carried the bags of goods until they were ready. on the car.

In about an hour, a ship can be completely unloaded.

The private port in Taipo Mountain is not large and can only accommodate five ships to unload cargo at one time.

But there were more than five merchant ships coming back. When the first one was unloaded, there were already more than twenty merchant ships waiting in line behind.

The merchant ship that quickly finished unloading its cargo quickly left the unloading port and berthed at a berth on the side.

The next batch is quickly replenished.

The entire port began to be busy in an orderly manner. At the same time, the private ports in other places were all busy with the scene in front of them.

While they were busy, groups of garrison troops quietly surrounded them around many private ports.

In the waters outside the private port, dozens of East China Sea Fleet warships happened to pass by the periphery of the place as if on regular patrol, and kept approaching.

boom!
A box of spices was placed heavily on the ground. Laborer Liu hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead, shook out a handful of sweat, and gasped:
"What the heck, the goods here are getting more and more every time, and now we haven't even finished unloading half of them."

On the side, with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, worker Hong Datou also moved a box of goods over and said with a smile:
"Isn't this good?

If you move more, you can earn more money. Your son is almost old and will go to school soon. So the pens, inks, paper and inkstones in the school are free? If you don't make more money, how can that little kid have money to study? Is it possible that you want him to be a laborer like you when he grows up? "

Liu Mang was at a loss for words when he heard the words. Thinking of his little skinny monkey, the fatigue in his body seemed to suddenly disappear. He wiped the sweat with the towel on his shoulder and then walked back to the boat.

We have to keep on working. Hong Datou is right. That bastard of mine can't spend his whole life working hard like his father. I have suffered all the hardships, so he doesn't have to endure the hardships!
With firm belief, Liu hurriedly continued to work.

The accountant who was counting on the side was reporting the current situation to the steward sent by the owner.

"Manager An, currently three of the An family's ships have been unloaded, and one more can be unloaded. According to the current situation, the goods shipped back this time are at least about 20% more than last time. It seems that the owner We also arranged a lot of goods that normally pass customs on these four ships."

Manager An, who was called Manager An, nodded from time to time while listening to the accountant's report. But when he heard his guess, he frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone: "This is not your business, keep track of your accounts!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The cashier knew he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he quickly shut up.

However, just when everything was going smoothly, dozens of black spots suddenly appeared on the sea level in the distance.

When the black spots approached, the person who accidentally raised his head turned pale with fear when he saw the true appearance of those black spots.

The next moment, a terrified scream suddenly sounded!
"Oops! It's a navy warship!
Found here! Run! ! ! "
