Chapter 2567

Xu Wenlin nodded slightly and then asked: "I wonder what kind of goods Mr. Tao needs our bank to transport? What is the destination?"

Tao Hongfang said: "I would like to ask your bank to transport a batch of local specialties to Sanya Victory Fort."

Xu Wenlin's face changed slightly. Since he is in the logistics and transportation industry, he naturally knows where Sanya Victory Fort is.

Fort Victory has extremely strict supervision measures for the entry and exit of people and goods, and a special official agency is responsible for the transportation of materials. Generally, things sent by private carriages and horses are not accepted. This young man named Tao is either young or not.

If you know the rules, or you have an extraordinary status, you can bypass official supervision.

Xu Wenlin asked tentatively: "Master Tao, is there a way to send things to Victory Castle?"

Tao Hongfang nodded, but remained silent, as if he did not intend to explain further.

Xu Wenlin seemed to have thought of something, and continued to ask tentatively: "It seems that Mr. Tao has an elder serving in Victory Fort? I wonder which department it is?"

Tao Hongfang said: "Shopkeeper Xu asked so carefully, it seems that there should be some acquaintances working in Victory Fort?"

Xu Wenlin did not deny Tao Hongfang's temptation. Su Rong responded: "I do have old friends in Victory Fort."

Since Xu Wenlin frankly admitted that he had connections in Fort Victory, Tao Hongfang thought that it was enough to test him to this extent. He smiled and said, "Perhaps Shopkeeper Xu's old friend is also an acquaintance of mine."

Xu Wenlin's expression changed slightly and he said, "Who are you, sir? What do you want to do when you come to me?"

Tao Hongfang said: "There is no need to be nervous, Shopkeeper Xu. My father said that Shopkeeper Xu is a trustworthy person. After I arrive in Hangzhou, if I need help, I can come directly to Shopkeeper Xue for help. If I am rude, I hope you will forgive me!"

Xu Wenlin was surprised and said: "It turns out that Mr. Tao is... May I ask if you have anything to prove your identity?"

Tao Hongfang nodded to Apeng who was standing next to him, and Apeng took out a document and handed it to Xu Wenlin.

The content of this document is a letter of introduction issued by Tao Donglai himself. Although the father-son relationship with Tao Hongfang is not stated on it, it is accompanied by an autograph and seal. Even if someone wants to counterfeit this thing, it will be difficult to find it.

To imitate the original, not to mention Tao Donglai's prominent status, to use such means to impersonate his son would be a serious crime.

Xu Wenlin could obviously tell the authenticity of signatures and seals. After looking at them carefully, he immediately knelt down on one leg and said to Tao Hongfang, "I didn't know that the young master came to Hangzhou. I missed the welcome from afar. Please forgive me!"

"You're welcome, Shopkeeper Xu, please get up quickly!" Tao Hongfang had rarely seen such a kneeling ceremony since he could remember, and he quickly stretched out his hand to help Xu Wenlin up. Xu Wenlin's move also made Tao Hongfang realize that he and Xu Wenlin were

The relationship with my father should also be extraordinary.

Xu Wenlin stood up and glanced at A Peng next to Tao Hongfang, but did not rush to speak. As Apeng was responsible for the security, he would not easily let Tao Hongfang stay alone with a stranger, so he still

He stood still and didn't move.

Tao Hongfang realized that he was afraid of outsiders being present, so he immediately explained: "A Peng is a member of his own family, so shopkeeper Xu doesn't have to be shy."

Xu Wenlin then said: "When I was young, I fled to Sanya to escape the war. I was lucky enough to work for Mr. Tao for several years. Later, I was recommended by Mr. Tao and found a job in Shunfengxing. I was lucky enough to get to where I am now. Mr. Tao said in

I have been given the gift of rebirth, but I have never been able to repay it. Whatever the young master orders, I will do my best."

When Tao Hongfang heard this, he understood why this man was far away in Hangzhou but was willing to serve his father. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there were constant natural and man-made disasters. Haihan introduced a large number of homeless refugees from the Ming Dynasty during that period.

, placed in Hainan Island and other places, their number is at least one hundred thousand, and Xu Wenlin should be one of them.

However, he was obviously one of the lucky ones. He had the opportunity to stay with Tao Donglai and later he was given an errand, and became the semicolon shopkeeper along the way in Shunfengxing. Although this is not an extraordinary status,

But for a person with no foundation at all, this is already an outstanding achievement.

In addition to arranging this errand, Xu Wenlin did not elaborate on what kind of help Tao Donglai had given him, but judging from his attitude and expression, it was obvious that he had always been grateful to Tao Donglai, and also

The willingness to repay a favor.

However, with Tao Donglai's powerful position, it is obviously difficult to entrust specific matters to a small person like Xu Wenlin, so this wish can only be given up in his mind. But he did not expect that one day, Tao Donglai would

Donglai's family appeared in front of him and asked him to do something. Xu Wenlin's long-cherished wish came true, and he was a little excited.

Since the other party was his father's old subordinate, Tao Hongfang didn't need to be too polite. He coughed and said: "I recently went to Hangzhou on business and encountered some things. I need to do some investigation in secret. But I have no idea what's going on here.

I’m not familiar with the situation, and there’s currently no manpower available around me. I wonder if Shopkeeper Xu can help?”

Xu Wenlin didn't even hesitate for a moment, and responded decisively: "I am not talented, but I have accumulated some connections during my stay in Hangzhou. I don't know who or what the young master wants to investigate, so I will make arrangements as soon as possible."

Hearing his tone, Tao Hongfang was very confident, as if he was familiar with this kind of work, so he asked him: "Do you know that the township is trying to set up this yamen?"

Although Xu Wenlin didn't know what he meant, he still nodded and replied: "I've heard of it. It is said that this is a temporary yamen specially established by Mr. Shi in order to successfully hold this year's provincial examination. Most of the officials serving in this yamen are from the previous dynasty.

Mr. Guan."

Tao Hongfang said: "They are the ones I want to check. I want to know if these people have relatives, students, or other relevant people in their families, who are preparing to participate in this year's provincial examination. If there is such a situation, then I need relevant people to wait.

details."

Xu Wenlin said: "This is not difficult, but it will take some time to investigate the clues. I wonder when you will get the results?"

Tao Hongfang said: "The sooner the better, of course, but the news must be reliable and credible, and there must be no speculation."

Xu Wenlin said: "In that case, please give me seven days to find out the matter."

Tao Hongfang said: "Okay! It's up to you, seven days! But remember, this matter is very important, so it can only be done in secret, and the news must not be leaked!"

Xu Wenlin said: "Young Master, don't worry, I will be careful in what I do. Even if there is any problem in the process, it will never involve Young Master."

Tao Hongfang was very satisfied when he saw that he was knowledgeable and interesting. He secretly thought that the person arranged by his father was indeed quite capable.
