The Glorious Summoner

Chapter 263



263 Chapter 263 the case of wind and thunder

With Xia Pingan in charge, the inspection department acted swiftly and decisively. A few carriages rushed to the warehouse of Jinming trading company. The team members got off the carriages and quickly sealed off the courtyard.

...

At the sight of the officials of the inspection department who were rushing towards them aggressively, the guards of Jinming commercial firm who were guarding the warehouse stood aside in a bewildered way and dared not move at all.

The two warehouses of Jinming trading company were close to each other. Each warehouse was over 10000 square meters. As they were in the same courtyard, it was convenient to block them.

Xia Pingan stood in the open space outside the warehouse. Looking at the warehouse in front of her, she grinned. He had just “looked” at the two storage units, and they were filled with goods that had probably just been brought in.

Fan Gang, who was wearing a black robe, was standing beside Xia ping ‘an. He didn’t say much and just nodded to Xia ping’ an.

As for Situ Hua, he met up with Xia ping ‘an’s team halfway and went to the warehouse of Jinming trading company together.

After receiving the notice, the director of the warehouse arrived with sweat all over his forehead. At the sight of the inspector, he changed his face at once as he hurriedly moved closer with a big smile, ” officers, this is the warehouse of Jinming commercial firm. We store liquor on one side and silk on the other. There’s no illegal item. Is there any misunderstanding? ”

The person in charge of the warehouse naturally could not approach Xia Pingan. The people below him would deal with him.

the inspection department received a tip-off that someone reported that there were prohibited items in the warehouse of the Jinyang trading company. Open the warehouse, we want to inspect it! Situ Hua said to the person in charge of the warehouse.

the manager of our company is not here. Jinming business group is director Li’s property. Can you please excuse us? ” the person in charge of the warehouse was still struggling, not understanding the situation.

what director li and director MA? we, the Donggang inspection department, are just enforcing the law. Don’t use this old trick! Situ Hua’s fierce expression was very intimidating. I order you to open the warehouse door immediately. We want to check. If you don’t open it, we’ll break in. You’ll be responsible for all the consequences!

Watching the surrounding Summoners of the inspection department who were watching him icily, the Warehouse Supervisor oozed sweat all over as he hurriedly took out the keys and opened the gates of the two warehouses, allowing the people of the inspection department to check inside.

In the warehouse where the liquor was stored, there were all sorts of packaged high-end liquor, bottles and cans.

Shangjing was a place of luxury. Li chaoming was the chief of the Jinyang district police station. Many high-end drinks in various restaurants and wineries in the Jinyang District had to be purchased from the designated trading companies. It was a disguised form of protection fee. The profit of high-end drinks was high, and there was an endless supply every day. It was really a good business.

The silk business was the same. As long as there were connections, it was also a big business.

The moment the two warehouses were opened, two teams of members of the inspection department had entered to search inside.

Xia Pingan also followed him into the warehouse full of alcohol.

The warehouse was filled with the strong smell of wine.

In this kind of warehouse, when they were moving in and out of the warehouse, they would occasionally break the wine bottles and jars. When the wine spilled on the ground, the wine fragrance would not dissipate for a long time.

“What kind of wine is this Linglong drunk?” Xia Pingan asked Situ Hua who was beside him when he saw that the front of the warehouse was filled with wine that was sealed in white porcelain jars and packaged in wooden shelves. Xia Pingan was really not familiar with the wine in the capital city and the great Shang kingdom.

this Linglong wine is a specialty of Yunzhou province. These Linglong wines are all good wine that have been stored in caves for more than ten years. A jar like this would cost at least 30 gold coins. It would be even more expensive if it was sold, ” Situ Hua explained to Xia Pingan as he sucked on his saliva.

Behind the mountain-like pile of Linglong wine, there were also boxes of blue colored glass bottles. They were called moonlight wine, a famous wine in the great Shang.

After the Moonflower brew, there was an expensive wine in a dark-colored glass bottle called dew.

As for the rest, the warehouse was filled with the famous wines of the great Shang, such as the captain’s, Zifu’s, Yangui’s, and others.

Lord, something is found here!!!! a member of the inspection department shouted at once.

Xia ping ‘an walked over with his men and took a look. Well, among the wooden boxes containing the Zifu wine at the back of the warehouse, there were two long dark green wooden boxes that were a little too special. Those two wooden boxes looked like a long-haired man who had emerged from a group of baldies.

open it and take a look at Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said calmly.

“Yes!”

The wooden boxes were opened, and there were black rifles inside.

Each wooden box contained ten rifles, while the two wooden boxes contained twenty rifles.

The great Shang nation was very strict with gun control. Although private individuals could also carry guns, they had to go through the procedures. Moreover, gun business was monopolized by the state. The crime of privately hiding more than three guns was considered the crime of privately hiding firearms. There were strict regulations on the sale, transportation, and circulation of guns.

They found two boxes of guns in the warehouse, 20 of which were clearly prohibited items. Smuggling guns was a serious crime.

seal the warehouse immediately and bring the relevant people to the inspection department for questioning! Xia Pingan ordered.

“Yes!”

They also found two boxes of guns and two boxes of bullets in the silk warehouse.

When they took out the guns and bullets from the warehouse, the person in charge of the warehouse was dumbfounded. How could he have known that there were two more boxes of guns in the liquor warehouse?

Looking at the yellow bullets and the black, oiled rifle, the warehouse manager’s face turned pale.

“Your Excellency, I’m innocent! Your Excellency!”

“Take him away!”

The people from the inspection department took him away without any explanation.

A few minutes later, the leader of the Axe Gang, li heihu, arrived with thousands of Li Xing’s brothers in a carriage.

The people from Li Xing were all coolies in the dock area. They were all strong and honest, but when they were forced into a corner, they would take out their axes and fight you to the death.

greetings, inspector. li heihu led over a thousand people from the Axe Gang and bowed to Xia Pingan with one knee on the ground.

“Why are there so many people?” Xia Pingan asked with a smile.

“His Excellency has ordered me to call all the brothers who are not working today!” Li heihu replied.

“Go and move the things. After you’re done, leave 50 jars of exquisite wine for the brothers of the Axe Gang to taste!”

“Thank you, Your Excellency!” Li heihu stood up and shouted, ” brothers, it’s time to work. After we finish, the inspector will treat everyone to a drink!

Thousands of Li Xing’s brothers shouted and started to get busy. They were like ants moving houses as they started to move the things in the warehouse.

Xia ping ‘an called Situ Hua over. I’ll leave this place to you. There shouldn’t be any problems, right? ”

Situ Hua smiled confidently and licked his lips. don’t worry, Sir. Leave this place to me. There won’t be any problems. Are you going back to the inspector’s office? ”

I’m not done with my business yet. I’m not in a hurry to go back. I’ll take Hua ziqin and Fan Gang to Dock 6 to take a look!

“Pier 6? what’s wrong with master? ” Situ Hua was stunned for a moment. He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be nothing important at Pier 6. He didn’t know why Xia Pingan specially went to check it out.

“The dock is such an important place. As an inspector, I naturally have to pay more attention to it!” Xia Pingan smiled and did not explain further. After leaving the matter of the Jinming trading company’s warehouse to Situ Hua, he got into the carriage again. After leaving the warehouse courtyard of Jinming trading company with Hua ziqin and Fan Gang, he arrived at Dock 6 of the Donggang District in less than ten minutes.

On the dock, it was a different scene.

Those 10,000-ton huge ships were lining up in a straight line on the dock. Huge steam crane towers were sliding here and there on the rails of the dock. Numerous people were busy working here.

One did not even need to show any identity token to come here. The faces of Hua ziqin and Fan Gang, who often patrolled here, were the passes. They could go through Dock 6 without any obstructions and be checked as they pleased.

Seeing that the inspector had come to inspect, the people in charge of Port Authority, administration, and customs clearance at Pier 6 quickly came over to accompany him.

The people from the inspection department walked in front while the people-in-charge on the dock followed Xia Pingan. They were responsible for explaining to Xia Pingan and responding to any questions.

Xia Pingan had already summoned the Black Dragon.

At first, Hua ziqin and Fan Gang didn’t know why Xia Pingan had come here. However, when they saw Xia Pingan summon the Black Dragon, the expressions on their faces instantly tensed up, and they immediately became alert.

After walking around the dock for a while, Xia Pingan led the group to a huge cargo ship’s berth.

The freighter was more than 200 meters long and was docked at the port. Looking up, the upper structure of the freighter looked like a building.

On the head of the Black Freighter, three big white words were written: ” Fulong “. This freighter was still waiting in line to hoist and unload the cargo.

who does this cargo ship belong to? what’s on it? ” Xia Pingan asked the person beside him.

The person-in-charge of the dock next to him immediately flipped through the book in his hand and replied, ” Sir, according to the customs report, this Fu long cargo ship is loaded with Purple Star Wood and ten thousand Dragon Chambord rice, which are the specialties of the ten thousand Dragon islands in the South. The owner of the fu long cargo ship is the fu long trading company!

“Hehe, this cargo ship is quite big, hehe.”

displacement: more than 36000 tons of water.

“Alright, let’s go up and take a look!”

Everyone boarded the ship through the stairs. The captain and crew of the ship came out to welcome, accompany, and inspect them.

The cargo ship was divided into several huge compartments, which were filled with things that had been transported across the ocean. The huge pieces of Purple Star Wood were piled up like mountains, and each piece was as thick as several people hugging it. In Shangjing, Purple Star Wood furniture was exclusive to the rich and powerful, so its value was self-evident.

There were more than 10000 tons of Purple Star Wood on the ship.

Besides the purple Star Wood, there were over 10000 tons of 10000-Dragon incense rice in gunny sacks, which were piled up in the cabin like a mountain.

Xia Pingan, who was wandering around the warehouse of rice, suddenly asked the captain, ” is there any other warehouse on this Fulong? ”

there’s nothing else. This is all we have in the warehouse. They’re all filled with Purple Star Wood and food! The captain replied.

“Oh, is that so? then let’s go to the bottom of the Granary to see Qingqing.”

Upon hearing Xia Pingan’s words, the captain’s expression changed slightly, but he still smiled and said, ” Sir, the bottom cabin of this cargo ship is filled with all kinds of engine rooms. There are piles of coal, pipes running everywhere, and the air is dirty. There’s really nothing to see.

it’s okay. The inspection department just likes to go to dirty places. I won’t go if it’s not dirty! Xia Pingan patted the Black dragon’s head and said with a smile.

No one present was a fool. As soon as they heard the hidden meaning in Xia Pingan’s words, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the captain’s face.

Fan Gang, who was wearing a black robe, was like a ghost. He stood behind the captain without realizing it, staring at the captain’s neck with a gloomy gaze.

The sweat on the captain’s forehead suddenly came out, but he had no choice but to take everyone to the bottom cabin of the cargo ship to have a look.

The air in the bottom cabin of the cargo ship was dirty, narrow, and dark. The bottom of the cabin was densely covered with all kinds of complicated pipes.

Xia Pingan flicked his finger, and a large number of fireflies were summoned. The Starlight turned into floating lamps, illuminating the bottom of the cargo ship.

Xia Pingan had already let go of the Black Dragon and let him lead the way.

The Black Dragon sniffed the air and barked twice before heading in a certain direction.

Looking in the direction of the Black Dragon, the captain’s forehead was covered in sweat. His legs were weak as he walked, and he almost fell.

haha, Fan Gang, help the captain up. Let the captain walk properly and not fall! Xia Pingan laughed.

Fan Gang reached out and grabbed the captain’s neck, leading him forward.

The Black Dragon brought everyone to the coal warehouse at the bottom of the cabin.

The coal warehouse was connected to the steam-powered boiler at the bottom of the ship, which was used to store coal. Because Fulong had come from afar, there was not much coal left in the warehouse.

The huge coal bunker was covered with coal cinders. Under the light of the fireflies, it looked like a huge funnel at the bottom of a ship.

Woof, Woof, Woof, CAW! the Black Dragon ran into the coal bunker and barked. It even used its claws to scratch the steel walls on both sides of the coal bunker.

The body of the captain, who was being held by Fan Gang, went completely soft. He could not even stand steadily. His whole body trembled like a sieve, and he was covered in cold sweat.

Captain, the Black Dragon said that there’s something else in the coal bunker. Let’s open it and take a look. Xia Pingan glanced at the captain. Without waiting for him to speak, he took two steps forward and took out the scepter of judgment. He activated his divine power and used the Golden tip of the scepter of judgment to hit the iron wall of the coal bunker with a clatter.

With a flash of golden light, the steel plate on both sides of the coal warehouse was cut by the scepter of judgment like a piece of cloth, leaving a 1 m long wound.

Then, in the next second, a dazzling scene appeared. From the crack, dazzling pearls poured out from the crack. The pearls jumped happily and poured into the coal slag at the bottom of the coal warehouse.

The black coal slag and the snow-white bright pearls gave a strong visual impact.

The pearls pouring down were definitely not just 10 or 8, but endless like sand pouring out of a carriage.

However, those pearls were much bigger than sand. Each Pearl was round and full. The smallest one was the size of a Dragon’s Eye. Other than the White pearls, there were also black and purple Kasaya.

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

this is a Pixiu, this is the ten-thousand Dragon Pearl Pixiu! a customs official at the port was dumbfounded.

Ten thousand Dragon Pearl was one of the most precious things produced in the ten thousand Dragon archipelago. It was definitely a luxury item. Because it was so precious, the great Shang country did not have it. Therefore, the customs of the great Shang country also imposed heavy taxes on these imported pearls.

Of course, as long as there was profit, there would naturally be people who would take risks. It was not uncommon for Summoners with spatial equipment to smuggle such precious items. The customs of the great Shang kingdom and the adjudicator Army also had various countermeasures. With layers of defense and Prevention measures, the battle of wits and courage between both sides was already a common occurrence.

No one would have thought that these expensive ten thousand Dragon Pearls could be smuggled in such a way, hidden in the partition of the coal warehouse at the bottom of the ship. Additionally, the number of pearls could definitely make people’s jaws drop. Even though those officials at present thought that they had seen a lot, they had never seen ten-thousand Dragon Pearls pouring down and piling up in front of them like sands.

This was definitely a shocking case!

The customs of Shangjing had not encountered such a big case for many years.

A person who had the ability to smuggle so many ten thousand Dragon Pearls at once and still had the ability to digest them was definitely not a nobody in Shangjing.

In the blink of an eye, the ten thousand Dragon Pearls had piled up more than a meter high, and they were still pouring down.

Hua ziqin pinched her own arm twice before she shifted her gaze away from the pearls. She felt like drooling as she looked at the pearls. It was as if she was dreaming.

Besides being used as jewelries, ten-thousand Dragon Pearl was also a top-class skincare product for women. Its main effect was to delay aging, beautify, and tender skin. It was used by concubines in the palace. The latter was the reason why ten-thousand Dragon Pearl was so precious. Apart from that, the ten-thousand Dragon Pearl was also a necessary ingredient for a few precious pills.

Countless fireflies were flying in the dark coal warehouse.

Under the light of the fireflies, precious ten-thousand Dragon Pearls poured out of the coal warehouse like a waterfall and fell on the pitch-black coal as resplendent as a Galaxy. This scene might be unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

Everyone was petrified.

Huala! Huala! When the last ten thousand Dragon Pearls rolled down from the cracks of the steel plates, everyone at present immediately woke up from the dream-like scene.

Everyone held their breath as they watched the 2-m high pile of ten-thousand Dragon Pearls at the bottom of the coal warehouse with infatuated and shocked looks.

“Cough, cough, these are stolen goods and also evidence. I’ll keep them first, in case the thieves remember them!” Xia Pingan stepped forward and waved his hand. A rolling mist covered the resplendent pearls. In the blink of an eye, the dreamy pile of pearls was all stored into Xia Pingan’s spatial equipment.

Everyone’s eyes once again fell on Xia ping ‘an’s face.

from now on, the judicial Department of the eastern port has officially seized the Fulong. Without my permission, no one is allowed to touch the things on the Fulong. Fan Gang, take your men and arrest the manager of the Fulong trading company and all related people involved in this case.

Xia Pingan ordered from the bottom of the cabin.

Many of the people present were secretly thinking that someone in Shangjing was going to be in big trouble this time. They just didn’t know who the unlucky person would be.
