Wang Yuan was always pampered and had no time to do the menial work of carrying heavy objects. In the end, it was the boat boss and Wang Yuan's coachman who carried the boxes from the awning boat to the carriage on the shore.
After moving the boxes, the ship boss handed Wang Yuan a piece of paper with the address to which the boxes were to be sent and the name of the recipient.
"Send one box to each address. Send it as soon as possible. Don't delay on the way."
After the ship boss finished speaking, he hurriedly left without waiting for Wang Yuan to ask any more questions.
After Wang Yuan read the content on the note, he looked up and looked for the boss of the ship, but saw that he was already on the ship instructing the sailors to unmoor and raise the sails and prepare to leave. It seemed that he didn't intend to stay here any longer.
"What bad luck!" Wang Yuan couldn't help but feel more and more irritable when he saw that the other party left without saying goodbye. He was so rude and rude from the beginning to the end.
But trouble comes back, the errand at hand has to be finished, otherwise I won't be able to give Zhu Zhongyun an errand when I get back.
Wang Yuan took the carriage back the same way, and when he passed Fengshan Gate again, he still had to get out of the car for inspection. When Zhang Bazi, who was on duty at the city gate checkpoint, saw that he was back, he signaled his soldiers not to check the carriage and let Wang Yuan pass directly.
Wang Yuan also knew the reason why the other party was so attentive. He had already held a rolled-up banknote in his hand. He stepped forward to say thank you for your hard work and quietly pushed the banknote to Zhang Bazi.
Zhang Bazi did not refuse at all and accepted the money with understanding.
In the past, when Wang Yuan's goods came in and out of the city gate, card-keeping officers like Zhang Bazi would benefit from it. It was natural for Wang Yuan to come here in person and give Zhang Bazi a reward after showing his goodwill.
Wang Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If Zhang Bazi's people went to search the carriage, they might find some prohibited items in those boxes. Since you can avoid risks by spending some money, Wang Yuan will definitely not be stingy in a place like this.
When Wang Yuan was about to return to the car, he saw several soldiers posting notices on the wall next to the city gate, which seemed to be wanted orders.
He leaned over to take a look and almost exclaimed. Wasn't the portrait painted on the notice none other than Zhu Zhongyun hiding in his home?
Although the government had also traced Zhu Zhongyun's origins earlier, after this person slipped out of Hangzhou early, there seemed to be no trace. But he never thought that the government had not given up the investigation and actually launched a reward for the arrest.
Wang Yuan took a closer look at the content of the notice. The government declared that Zhu Zhongyun was a dangerous person. Once the clues provided by the whistleblower were verified, he could receive a reward ranging from one hundred to five thousand yuan depending on the subsequent progress.
Nowadays, because Hangzhou is about to become the capital of the country, prices have increased a lot, but five thousand yuan is not a small sum, and it is enough to buy a small, single-family house outside Hangzhou.
Wang Yuan was shocked. He believed that the government's move was definitely not unintentional. They had probably found out some information about Zhu Zhongyun, which might be related to his purpose of sneaking back to Hangzhou yesterday.
Wang Yuan's heart couldn't help but sink a little more when he thought that this man had several large boxes of things on his carriage.
"What's wrong? Mr. Wang has seen this person?"
Zhang Bazi saw him standing in front of the notice for a long time and did not leave, so he came over curiously to ask.
Wang Yuan came back to his senses and quickly forced a smile and said: "No, no, I was just thinking that there hasn't been a reward in this city of Hangzhou for a while! There are people who don't care about life and death and dare to go against the government!"
< br>
Zhang Bazi said: "Yes! If this guy is still in the city, he must not be able to escape. It depends on whose hands the bounty falls in the end. Hehe, if this guy can't think about it and hits him by mistake, It would be great if I come here from Fengshan Gate!”
The more Wang Yuan listened, the more guilty he felt. He did not dare to continue chatting with Zhang Bazi, and hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the car. After entering the city, Wang Yuan instructed the coachman to quickly deliver these boxes according to the address given by the ship boss.
Wang Yuan's mind was in confusion. He just wanted to finish this job immediately, and then go home and invite Zhu Zhongyun, the god of plague, out. If this guy is caught before he can get out of the city, he might really be dragged into the water as well.
These addresses are all in back streets and alleys. Even though Wang Yuan has been in Hangzhou for so many years and is quite familiar with the city's environment, it took quite a while to find these remote places.
But what made Wang Yuan feel depressed again was that these recipients showed no knowledge of Wang Yuan's request for acknowledgment. It seemed that Zhu Zhongyun had never made an agreement with them about this matter.
Wang Yuan was helpless and anxious to go home, so he could only give them the box to solve the problem.
Wang Yuan could only curse Zhu Zhongyun in his heart for being unreliable and making up such a detail to amuse himself. When I get home later, I will inevitably have to argue with Zhu Zhongyun about this matter again.
After finally finishing his errand, Wang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the driver to drive home quickly.
After returning home, Wang Yuan didn't even have time to take a sip of tea, so he went straight to the wing where Zhu Zhongyun lived to persuade him to leave quickly.
Wang Yuan had already thought up a set of words on the road. If Zhu Zhongyun still refused, then he would really have to be prepared to fight him to the death.
Unexpectedly, when the door of the wing room was opened, it was empty, and Zhu Zhongyun was not seen.
Wang Yuan quickly called his servants to ask about Zhu Zhongyun's whereabouts. The servants were also at a loss and did not see Zhu Zhongyun leave the wing. Why was this man not there?
The items in the house were neatly arranged, and it seemed that Zhu Zhongyun left quietly on his own.
Wang Yuan felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. Zhu Zhongyun had clearly said that he would wait for him to come back to deliver the mission, but this was obviously just an excuse to stabilize Wang Yuan.
In this way, Zhu Zhongyun's purpose of coming here yesterday was purely to ask Wang Yuan to pick up and deliver those boxes for him. He didn't even care whether Wang Yuan successfully completed the mission or not, and escaped quietly.
From this point of view, at least Zhu Zhongyun had no intention of continuing to pester him, which made Wang Yuan relax a little.
But Wang Yuan immediately thought that the real purpose of Zhu Zhongyun going to so much trouble to come forward to him was to use his identity to transport those boxes from outside the city to the city for him.
Wang Yuan judged that the items contained in those boxes must be prohibited items. If they were inspected when entering the city, they would probably be overturned on the spot. And it was obviously impossible for him to take the blame for someone else, and the owner of the cargo would definitely be recruited by then. This may be the reason why Zhu Zhongyun quietly left.
He thought again of the way the ship's boss hurriedly left after delivering the goods, as if a hot potato had been handed to him, and he felt even worse.
Wang Yuansi thought about it and already had a conjecture about this matter. Although the possibility was extremely small, all the evidence pointed in this direction.
The more impossible he felt, the more he couldn't help but think in that direction - Could these boxes of things that Zhu Zhongyun asked me to sneak into the city have something to do with the arrival of the Executive Committee?
