"He just came back. He's in the inn. I'll ask someone to ask him to come down!"
Lu Fan said cautiously: "Forget it, just tell us which guest room he lives in. We need to talk to him about something, it's not convenient to talk outside!"
"It's still Mr. Boss who thinks carefully. He lives in the second room of Tianzi. Come with me!"
Following Shopkeeper Chen, the two of them went upstairs and came to the door of Room No. 2 in Tianzi. Shopkeeper Chen knocked on the door and said, "Su Lei, open the door. The leader of our Changtian Gang is looking for you, so open the door quickly."
As soon as the door opened, Lu Fan saw an ordinary-looking man.
He first asked, "Are you Su Lei?"
"Yes, I am, are you?"
Zhou Lianhua on the side introduced: "This is the leader of our Lu Da, Gang Leader Hong asked him to be in charge of your goods."
Su Lei obviously knew Zhou Lianhua, and immediately opened the door to let the two of them in and out.
Shopkeeper Chen closed the door winkingly and left.
"Sit down!" Su Lei said, and was about to pour tea for the two of them.
Zhou Lianhua quickly grabbed the teapot and said, "Just let me do it!"
Su Lei didn't force himself, sat across from Lu Fan and asked, "Who are you looking for me this time?"
Lu Fan said straight to the point: "We've almost got all the 1,000 pieces of goods. What our gang leader Hong wants is for you to take away some of them first."
Su Lei replied without thinking too much: "Okay, normally the higher-ups have been urging me, saying that there is an urgent need for someone over there, and my ship is idle now, waiting for your goods."
Lu Fan knew that the background of this group of people was very unusual, and there was definitely a powerful force behind them.
Even if it is their Changtian Gang, it is impossible to digest thousands of children in one go.
Contacting the other party's supply requirements, regardless of gender, he probably guessed the whereabouts of those children... It will definitely not be very good.
However, he doesn't care about these.
In this kind of business, it is a big taboo to inquire about other people's details rashly!
"I have three ships, and each ship can't load more than 400 pieces at a time. If you load too much, the loss will be huge."
"Then you pull the two boats away first!"
"Okay!" Su Lei said, "Loading the cargo tonight, I'll go out and get in touch immediately, and ask them to bring the ship over tonight at Haishi. You are responsible for delivering the cargo to the port and helping us carry it on board. I will list the cargo when the time comes. How much is there, how much will I give you?"
"Um!"
The delivery of the goods was all handled by the receivers of Zhou Lianhua and Lu Fan.
These people are not doing these things for the first time, and they are familiar with the road, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
In winter, it gets dark very early.
In the bitter cold wind, there were very few pedestrians on the street.
A row of carriages pulling goods slowly moved forward in a remote alley.
In the dark alley, there are almost no people to be seen, and the carriage pulling the goods has just been able to walk out of the alley.
The neatly stacked wooden boxes were pulled behind the carriage, and more than 70 or 80 vicious members of the Changtian Gang escorted the convoy with vigilant expressions.
Lu Fan and Zhou Lianhua were at the front of the team.
Zhou Lianhua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We usually take this road to deliver goods. We cross the slums, and we can almost go directly to the gate of the city. It's safer!"
"Yes, Not Bad!"
The convoy slowly drove into the slums. Lu Fan looked at the sallow, emaciated civilians in ragged clothes. They looked at the convoy curiously from the door and window. When they were glared at by the Changtian gang, they immediately shrank obediently. went back.
It is impossible for these people to threaten them.
Lu Fan covered his nose and said, "It's just that the smell is unbearable!"
"Boss, do you want to try this, I made it specially!" Zhou Lianhua handed a piece of silk cloth to Lu Fan like offering a treasure, "Look, like me, put two straps on your ears and cover your nose. "
Lu Fan imitated Zhou Lianhua and put the thing on his face. As soon as he put it on, he smelled a strong fragrance of flowers.
The fragrance is not heavy, and it can't suppress the smell of the slums at all!
Lu Fan took a deep breath and said, "You came up with this?"
"No, I heard that in Zhou Kingdom's palace, the maids and eunuchs serving the emperor's diet all wore silk scarves on their mouths and noses to ensure the emperor's diet was clean. I followed that example!"
"Not bad, very useful."
"As long as adults like it!"
Although Zhou Lianhua's strength is low, her ability to handle affairs is really good, and Lu Fan is very satisfied with her.
The roads in the civilian areas are not easy to walk, and they are in a bad state of disrepair.
The sewage flows wantonly, often stepping on some sticky unknown objects.
Lu Fan and Sister Zhou were lucky to be on horseback, but Chang Tian helped other gang members not so lucky.
Along the way, they went smoothly, and a few carriages got stuck in the mud, but for the warriors of the Changtian Gang, this was no problem at all, just lift it up!
Say hello to the city guards guarding the city gate, and after leaving the city gate, they came directly to the port.
Su Lei was waiting for them at the port.
"You came early, it's not yet Haishi, you wait, but it shouldn't be long!"
"good!"
There were many ships moored in the port, but there were very few pedestrians. They just looked at them curiously, saw their clothes clearly, and left in a hurry.
Kuihe City is the territory of the Changtian Gang, and even the other four major families in the city dare not provoke them easily.
Just after arriving at Haishi, two medium-sized sand boats slowly approached the pier.
The sand ship is a very common cargo ship in the southern region. It has a square head, a square tip, a flat bottom, and a shallow draft. , most of the berths are sandboats.
Su Lei jumped out of the boat first, asked the people on board to lower the wooden ladder, and then waved to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan stepped directly onto the boat and ordered, "Shipping!"
The men of the Changtian gang immediately untied the hemp ropes that fixed the boxes, unloaded the boxes, carried two boxes each, and boarded the ship along the wooden ladder, and carried the boxes to the cabin under the arrangement of the sailors on board.
In the cabin, a layer of hay was spread. Su Lei's men poured out the goods in the box, checked the heartbeat to see if they were alive and whether their limbs were intact, and then threw the goods directly on the hay.
There is no noise, those guys have been drugged, and they won't be able to wake up for a while.
Seeing the rude actions of those men, Zhou Lianhua immediately said loudly: "Be gentle, if it breaks, we won't be responsible!"
Su Lei's men just smiled and didn't pay much attention.
Su Lei cared a lot: "Why are you laughing, Mother Zhou is right, take it easy, if it breaks, I will deduct your wages!"
Well, this group of people immediately moved a lot softer.
When a boy fell out of the box, a doll suddenly fell out of his hand and rolled down in front of Zhou Lianhua.
It was a yellow cloth tiger. The cloth tiger stared at Zhou Lianhua with a pair of big round eyes and grinned at her. It had two protruding ears and a vertical tail, which looked funny and cute.
Zhou Lianhua bent down, gently picked up the cloth tiger, squeezed the cloth tiger's big face, with a smile on his face, and then did not drop it.
Lu Fan glanced at it and didn't say anything. The cloth tiger is a very common toy, sold in every street and alley. Since Zhou Lianhua likes it, it's no big deal to take it away.
