The daily life of the great devil's favorite wife

Chapter 340 Boxes and Smuggling

On the bustling wharf, a group of laborers carried several large boxes and quickly walked towards a large ship.They were sweating and working hard.

And the patterns on those boxes made the corners of Zhuang Jiang's mouth twitch.

These patterns are exactly the same as the previous boxes.

It seems that although what Lin Zhifu saw were not those evidences, they were also useful things.

Here, seeing Zhuang Jiang staring at the box, Liu Ming hastily said:
"Yao catcher, what's the problem with those boxes?"

He glanced at the box carefully again, but still didn't see any doorway.

"Mr. Liu, where did those boxes come from?" Zhuang Jiang asked nonchalantly: "Look at the patterns on it, the workmanship is very delicate."

Hearing Zhuang Jiang's praise, Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:

"Tou Yao, to be honest, these boxes are all made by my carpenter."

"Oh?"

Zhuang Jiangming narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly became interested.Lazily asked: "Isn't your family in the restaurant and silk business?"

"You don't know, when we are in the silk business, we inevitably have to travel around with goods. This box can keep the fabric clean, and we need it all the time, so we started a side business by ourselves."

As Liu Ming spoke, he was quite proud.

It turns out that Lin'an's business is prosperous, so there are many merchants who need to use boxes.

At that time, his father had an idea, so he opened a carpenter's shop, specializing in the manufacture of large and small boxes.

And they don't sign it, and they don't care about the buyer's purpose.

Therefore, business is booming.

"In other words, these boxes can be purchased by any merchant, and they are often shipped?"

Zhuang Jiang asked again.

The eyes are sharp and thoughtful.

"Well, it's like this. Look at that store, it's shopkeeper Xu's caravan, and what you're packing should be porcelain and medicinal materials."

Pointing to the boxes over there, Liu Ming introduced.

At the same time, Qing Yan also came back from there and nodded to Zhuang Jiang.

The box contained exactly what Liu Ming said.

Now Zhuang Jiang understood.

Some people are using these commonly used boxes to smuggle food for a living.

Why is it called smuggling instead of normal trading?

First of all, the normal buying and selling of grain is naturally packed in bags and carried by laborers onto the big ship.But prefect Lin saw that the food was packed into boxes.

This clearly shows that the transporter is disguising the grain.

So they must be transported to a shameful place and do shameful things.

At present, the box used by so many people, if Lin Zhifu hadn't accidentally discovered it, no one would have thought of using the box to transport food.

This should be the source of Lin Zhifu's murder.

At the same time, these boxes were the same as those in Prince Gong's Mansion, and she also had reason to believe that the people who smuggled food and collected evidence were the same group.

Because she just learned from Liu Ming that when they sell the boxes, they don't care where they go.

In other words, they only count the income, and they don't know the buyer at all.

This is simply a great convenience for the prisoners.

After wandering around the pier for about half an hour, Zhuang Jiang suggested that she would like to visit the market where Liu Yinger disappeared.

As soon as Liu Ming heard that Zhuang Jiang was going to investigate his sister's case, he immediately wanted to send someone to hire a carriage and go there quickly.

But Zhuang Jiang refused, and she asked to walk around the city and take a stroll in the courtyard.

Liu Ming didn't understand this at all, but could only follow.

I saw this young lady looking like a head catcher, looking left and right all the way, observing the street.From time to time, she also buys some food for her accompanying girl.

Is this investigating the case, or just playing around?
