    Show Prince Zhao Zicheng scratched his head anxiously and squeezed his head desperately to get through the iron fence. Fang Jinshi saw that he was uncomfortable squeezing, so he said: "This gap is too small, you can't get through."

    Zhao Zichen said: "We always have to think of a way. Are we really going to die trapped here?"

    Fang Jinshi looked down at the ground and said, "Why is the ground so flat?"

    Shao Yun then asked: "What's wrong with the flatness?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "This is a natural cave. The ground is so flat. It must have been paved manually. Since it can be paved, it must be dug out. Let's find a digable place under the fence and try to dig it out. It can be drilled.  People can escape in the past.¡±

    Zhao Ziyan said happily: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"

    The three of them started immediately and found a place where there didn't seem to be any big rocks. Shao Yun pulled out his saber and the three of them took turns digging. Although the ground was hard, it took a long time to dig.  Find a ditch that you can drill out of.

    The three of them got out of the iron fence and came to the yard. The sky was already full of stars. Zhao Zikai said to Shao Yun: "Hurry up and gather people. We will rush to Tailor Li's house right away."

    Lu Xiao left a horse outside the courtyard gate. Shao Yun immediately rode forward to summon a group of Xiu Wang's subordinates. This was his territory, and soon a large group of people gathered. Zhao Zichen led the people and horses there.  Fang Jinshi said: "Master, then I won't go."

    Zhao Zichen said: "That's fine."

    This large group of people went forward with torches, and Fang Jinshi was led by someone to rest in Prince Xiu's Mansion.

    The next morning, Fang Jinshi had just gotten up in Prince Xiu¡¯s Mansion. The steward of Prince Xiu¡¯s Mansion sent someone to report that someone from Sihai Trading Company was looking for him. Fang Jinshi came out and saw that it was Wang Gui who had arrived.

    As soon as Wang Gui saw Fang Jinshi, he stepped forward and said: "There is news about the big ship of the Pai Gang. Shopkeeper Ji and the others asked me to invite the young master back to discuss it."

    Fang Jinshi asked: "What's the news?"

    Wang Guidao: "I heard that a small boat returned to the seaside of Zhangzhou Prefecture."

    Fang Jinshi said calmly: "I know, I went to see King Xiu say goodbye."

    Zhao Zicheng has returned to the mansion and is eating. After Fang Jinshi asked someone to inform him, he came to see King Xiu. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Fang Jinshi asked: "How was last night?"

    Zhao Ziyan said bitterly: "Tian Song's family was saved, but Lu Xiao escaped by jumping into the river and diving."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Fortunately, this person is ruthless and scheming. Master, I can't let him go."

    Zhao Zichen said: "Of course, I have sent people around to look for him. If I catch him, I will not let him go easily."

    Fang Jinshi said goodbye to him: "Master, I still have some things to do there, so I won't disturb you. I hope I will come here to discuss things with you this time. I hope you will take it seriously."

    Zhao Zichen said: "You can relax for now. Are you going to leave like this?"

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Could it be that the young master wants to stay with you for a few more days and be imprisoned again?"

    Zhao Ziyi smiled and said, "I definitely don't want to do this anymore. It's just the first time I've seen you and you don't let me take advantage of you. I'm not used to it anymore."

    The two of them were already very familiar with each other and could joke around at any time. Fang Jinshi was moved in his heart and asked Zhao Zichen, "In that case, can your lord give me Lu Xiao's wooden chariot and pagoda that we saw yesterday?"

    Zhao Zicheng asked curiously: "That object is not practical, what do you want it for?"

    Fang Jinshi chuckled and said, "I want to take it apart to see what it's like inside. I won't be reluctant to part with it, right?"

    Zhao Zichen said: "Girl Mian, I'm willing to give up, not to mention these broken pieces of wood. I'll have someone move them over and deliver them to you."

    Fang Jinshi thanked Zhao Zichen and went back to Pingjiang Mansion with Wang Gui by car and boat. He didn't take any rest and went straight to Sihai Bank. Shi Hao and Ji Changan were both there. As soon as Fang Jinshi entered the door, he sent someone to invite Li Jiupo.  Come over with Shopkeeper Hu.

    Shopkeeper Hu came over quickly, and Fang Jinshi said to him: "King Xiu will go to Japan these days if he has a ship. I have already agreed with him to go on his ship. You will do what we agreed on before. Thank you for all the hard work."  ¡±

    Shopkeeper Hu said: "I will do my best." After saying goodbye, Shi Hao saw shopkeeper Hu leaving and asked curiously: "What are you asking shopkeeper Hu to go to Japan at this time?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "King Xiu sells tea for us, so naturally we have to send someone to collect the money."

    Shi Hao said: "Didn't our tea-carrying ship disappear?"

    Fang Jinshi stopped talking and rolled his eyes at him. Shi Hao suddenly realized something and lost his voice: "So you" He immediately stopped talking, but Fang JinshiHe shouted: "So what about me? You don't think that those big ships disappeared because I sent people to do it, right? I don't have this ability on the vast sea thousands of miles away."

    Shi Hao said: "Then I don't quite understand."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I can't say now. I can only say that I felt that something might happen to me when I went to sea this time."

    Shi Hao said: "Then you still want Li Jiupo from the Pai Gang to transport tea to us?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "I want to win over Li Jiupo, remove Cai Meng's right and left hands, defeat him completely, and I will accept the goods as compensation."

    Shi Hao said: "Then we can't even talk to Shopkeeper Ji and me?"

    Fang Jinshi was silent for a moment and then said: "I asked King Xiu's fleet to set off from Quanzhou Prefecture to transport tea to Japan."

    Shi Hao said: "Both fleets came to transport it? Where did we get so much tea?"

    Before Fang Jinshi could answer, a bank clerk came to report that Li Jiupo had arrived. Fang Jinshi asked someone to invite her quickly, then turned around and said, "This Li Jiupo is starting to get anxious, so he'll come as soon as he's invited."

    While he was talking, Li Jiupo had already come over. As soon as he saw Fang Jinshi, he said, "Young master, you are back."

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "I just came back. Have you heard any news about the big ship?"

    Li Jiupo took a while and then said: "ThenI won't beat around the bush. There is news, but the news is not very good."

    He looked back at Fang Jinshi, but Fang Jinshi remained calm. Waiting for him to speak, Li Jiupo had no choice but to continue: "A smaller boat that went with us the day before yesterday suddenly came back. We hurriedly went to check. According to the brothers on the boat,  , they encountered bandits at sea, and the bandits robbed those large ships."

    Fang Jinshi calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Are the bandits following us?"

    Li Jiupo said: "No, they infiltrated the boatmen and suddenly launched an attack on the sea. My brother was caught off guard and fell into the trap. The brother who finally returned from the boat was alert and had some luck, so he managed to escape.  "

    Fang Jinshi asked: "Are these boatmen brothers from your platoon gang?"

    Li Jiupo said: "No, they hired someone else."

    Fang Jinshi looked at him and said, "That was hired by your platoon gang as well."

    Li Jiupo was silent for a moment, and then said after a pause: "This time it is indeed our platoon gang's fault. Both of you and I have the contract. It's not that our platoon gang doesn't understand the rules. It's just that I still ask the young master to give me some help."  Let¡¯s take some time.¡±

    Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Li, but please hurry up. I have something to explain to Mr. Meng Da."

    Li Jiupo stood up and said, "Okay, I know."

    Fang Jinshi smiled slyly, picked up the teacup and said, "Brother Li is busy, so I won't keep you for tea."

    Li Jiupo was about to leave, but stopped and stood still. Fang Jinshi asked again: "Brother Li, is there anything else?"

    Li Jiupo said: "I have something to say. I want to talk to Young Master Fang alone. I don't know if that's possible."

    Fang Jinshi didn¡¯t say anything, but Shi Hao noticed and said to Fang Jinshi, ¡°Then we¡¯ll leave first.¡±

    Fang Jinshi nodded, Shi Hao, Ji Changan and Li Jiupo's subordinates all retreated. Fang Jinshi said, "I don't know if Brother Li has anything else important to say to me."

    Li Jiupo didn¡¯t say anything. She took out a small cloth bag from her back pocket and poured the contents on the table in front of Fang Jinshi. However, there were only some dry weeds inside.

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "I don't understand."

    Li Jiupo said: "When such a big event happened, our platoon gang was naturally very careful. We were afraid that the little goods that Sihai Tea House had escaped from the disaster would be lost, so we took it upon ourselves to make the decision and unpacked several boxes and cages of tea.  Some of the surface are real tea leaves, but the bottom is all this kind of hay, the young master has something to say about this."

    Fang Jinshi stopped smiling and said seriously: "Who can confirm that these are the other goods I lost? Who can confirm that the goods on this ship have not been replaced by you?"

    Li Jiupo was stunned for a moment and defended: "All my brothers on the ship can confirm it."

    Fang Jinshi said: "You said that they are all your brothers, will the officials in the Yamen believe it? I can also say that you wanted to compensate me less and deliberately exchanged my goods."

    Li Jiupo lowered her head, and Fang Jinshi said again: "If nothing else, you are breaking the rules by dismantling my goods privately. Since it has been dismantled, I deny that this is my original goods. If it is spread out, it will not be right."  The Pai Gang has a bad reputation."

    Li Jiupo gritted her teeth and said: "It seems that you have made it clear that you want to punish my gang."

    Fang Jinshi said: "What a joke. I spent so much money just to punish you? Damn"Going to sea, can I take care of it?"  No matter what I'm transporting, as long as it doesn't violate the court's laws, you and I have the deed in hand. All you have to do is transport it to the place for me and I'll arrange the money for you. At this time, you lost my goods and you came to rely on me.  ?  "

    His words left Li Jiupo speechless. She knew that she was in the wrong, so she could only say: "Young Master, it is true that I did not think carefully about what I said just now. Please give me some guidance."  Bar."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Even if I am transporting hay leaves, this is my way of doing business to confuse my colleagues. Now that you have lost my goods, the method I spent a lot of money to think of will no longer work, and I will definitely lose a lot of money."  Xiao, that¡¯s it, you and I each take a step back, and you don¡¯t say anything about the goods. As for the money you need to pay me for losing the goods, I don¡¯t want you to pay for it for the time being. If you don¡¯t chase after the goods, you just go back to those thieves.  Once my shipment arrives, I will still pay you, and you and I will work together to suppress this matter, what do you think?"

    What he said sincerely was for the sake of the Pai Gang. Li Jiupo was deeply moved after hearing this. It seemed as if he saw a bright light in the dark night. He immediately bowed and said: "Thank you very much, young master. On behalf of the thousands of brothers in the Pai Gang, I would like to express my gratitude to you, young master Fang."  Honesty."

    Fang Jinshi knew that this matter was extremely stressful for him. The most fearful thing for anyone who has lost goods is that the owner of the goods will ask for compensation. He also has to face the questioning of the family members of the missing brothers in the gang. It is not easy to be a leader, so Fang Jinshi will not pursue the case for the time being.  Not claiming compensation really made Li Jiupo burst into tears of gratitude.

    Fang Jinshi patted him on the shoulder and said: "The conversation between you and me today is based on what you said before. You know that I know that heaven knows and that earth knows. If you spread the word, it will be detrimental to both of you and me. Let it rot in your stomach for the time being."  what do you think?"

    Li Jiupo said: "I must understand this."

    Fang Jinshi smiled at him, Li Jiupo bowed her hand to him again, and went downstairs. Fang Jinshi walked over, collected the hay on the table and threw it into the flower pot, with a satisfied smile on his face.
