Chapter 226
Shen Hao secretly said that the other party was very calculating.
Compared with food, pig iron, which can only be transported by vehicles and ships, the size of the spirit stone is smaller and easier to hide under the current circumstances. It can be easily taken away with a storage bag. It can even be carried alone, riding a horse or traveling with a teleportation array, and the speed is still fast.
The only problem is that the spirit stone is no more produced than materials such as food and pig iron, and it is all under the control of the State.
The Tancheng mine has been taken over by Xuanqingwei and the garrison Ding. Although the production capacity on the mountain has not stopped, the entire production process from production to polishing and storage is supervised, and at least it is impossible to be deducted for the time being. Therefore, the spirit stone channel in Fengri City was blocked at the source.
Not only Feng Richeng, but also the entire Jingxi realm mine. Who dares to do whatever you want when you are erecting a knife in front of you?
The Ma San line is the only clue that Shen Hao can access at present, and it seems that the other party has not noticed the connection between the black market and Xuan Qingwei.
It must be made good use of it.
"How much does he plan to ask for?"
"The three thousand pieces you need to open your mouth will cost at least two thousand pieces."
Shen Hao was silent for a moment. The number of thousands of pieces may be a lot in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not abrupt in the case of such bulk smuggling. The number of spirit stones traded with Ma San in the black market before was even much more than two or three thousand.
"You should first stabilize him, ask him to raise the price, see where his bottom line is, and then ask him how to deliver the goods. Wait for my news."
"Okay, I'll inform Feilong now. In fact, Feilong said that Ma San's cultivation is not very good. If Zhang Lie takes action, he will definitely win Ma Sanshi. Do you think about taking someone first and then touching clues? I'm worried that if Ma San notices something wrong, the person will run away."
Shen Hao shook his head and said, "I won't run away. The black market and your four departments have already built up a gap between them and Xuanqingwei. Even the funds have been transferred in a big circle from the entrance of the Zhangjia Liquor Store. If you want to find out that our Xuanqingwei's head is not something that these wild ways can do.
Moreover, the hands of August Thirteenth were not in the past ten days, and they couldn't help but come to you and took the initiative to find you. This shows that they urgently need to maintain the delivery of materials. Perhaps it was because they had an agreement with the barbarians, or for other reasons, but this was an opportunity for us.
OK, just say so much. Go down and let Feilong stabilize Ma San, don’t rush to act, let alone let the other party see the flaws."
"I understand."
As soon as Wang Jian left, Shen Hao immediately sent a note to the Jingxi Punishment Office, with only one goal, and applied for three thousand spirit stones.
There are no regular reserves in the Xuanqing Guard Office. There may be some in the garrison, but it is impossible to lend it to Xuanqing Guard. However, this time, the Tancheng mine was searched, and the people were arrested and the warehouse was detained. The Tancheng mine was similar to the Licheng Tieluzhuang, with two warehouses, one placed things that were brought to the court and the other placed for smuggling. So in fact, Shen Hao had so many spiritual stones in his hands, but if he wanted to use them, it would be better to report them and then take action, so as not to get verbal talk in this period.
The notes handed over by the hundred households of the Heiqi Camp in Fengricheng are not negligent in the Jingxi Fuguanya. The fastest speed is given to Jiang Cheng's instructions, and then it is quickly sent back, just a long time. Sometimes Shen Hao has to admire Xuan Qingwei's efficiency in his work is really fast.
"Treat it at your discretion, and progress will be reported."
Shen Hao smiled when he saw this reply.
Although Jiang Cheng did not attach enough importance to Ma San and his group, he did not stop Shen Hao's active investigation, but gave him some support. At least with this permission order, if something unexpected happened after the three thousand spirit stones could not be recovered, he would not be charged with "action without authorization" on Shen Hao, which would be considered as a protection for Shen Hao.
After obtaining permission, Shen Hao ordered the Tancheng Black Flag Camp to secretly take out three thousand spirit stones from the private warehouse of Tancheng mine and take them to Fengricheng. They can be recorded in the account but must be kept confidential.
After Shen Hao got three thousand spirit stones, he thought about it and finally handed the batch of spirit stones to Zhang Lie.
First, Zhang Lie has become famous in the name of Feilong, and second, the cultivation level of the fifth level of the God-Clustering Realm can definitely be regarded as a master and can deal with many emergencies. Finally, Zhang Lie is from Jiang Cheng's personal guard, and his loyalty is undoubtedly. He is experienced and good at intelligence collection, which is very suitable for this special exploration task.
In order to complete this task, Shen Hao even borrowed a storage bag from the yamen of the tutor. The smallest volume can just hold 5,000 spirit stones. After using it, it has to be returned, and Shen Hao wrote an IOU by himself.
"Remember, you must make good contact along the road. Without exposing yourself, you must let us know which path you are walking, which direction, and where you will rest. If the other party keeps following you, you must also find a way to contact us.
We will set up joints, tea sheds, pancake stalls, taverns, inns, etc. on all the official roads along the Baijiang River to Haixia and even the beach stones. When you pay attention to it, we will give you hints, such as the feathers or patterns of the wild geese.
Also, after confirming the delivery location, we will organize a raid. You need to cooperate and you should pay attention to the degree of your own, so you can't mess it up."
Zhang Lie listened very seriously and nodded to write down.
According to Shen Hao's plan, Zhang Lie took the spirit stone to conduct in-depth surveys this time. In the end, the spirit stone must not be handed over to the opposite side. A surprise attack will take down all the people who traded the spirit stone with the other party. Of course, Zhang Lie has to find a way to let it go, and may be able to use it in the future.
Three days later, Feilong replied to Ma San, saying that he had the last batch of spirit stones accumulated in his hand, with a total of more than 4,000 yuan, but he had to increase the price. Not only did the seller raise the price, but the intermediary fee also required the price. It was calculated that it was more than four times the normal black market price before. If you asked Ma San if you wanted it, even if he didn't, he was too lazy to take risks in this trend.
Feilong's reluctance did not annoy Ma San, but instead agreed to the transaction without saying a word, and even agreed to the request for Feilong to pay first and then pick up the goods.
After inspecting the goods, Ma San still asked Feilong to organize the freight. Feilong refused several times but failed, so he could only reluctantly send Zhang Lie, the most powerful under his command, out.
Zhang Lie is now nicknamed "Washing Iron Hand". His fire-type magic is sharp and fierce. Many thorns in the black market are killed by his hands. Ma San obviously knows Zhang Lie's name, and he is also relieved while being happy.
