Chapter 407: Looking for Opportunities

When Zuo Feng saw the packaging of these goods, he knew that these goods were definitely not simple, and they were definitely "very valuable" as the armored warrior said before.

Zuo Feng was a very curious person. He originally wanted to investigate where the ship came from, but now he was more interested in this batch of goods. Another reason for his curiosity was that this batch of goods was to be transported to Shop No. 13, so he was even more interested in it.

From the outside, these goods were wrapped tightly, fearing that the goods inside would be exposed. Especially the rain cloth wrapped on the surface, as if afraid that rain or moisture would invade the goods. These clues made Zuo Feng think of only one thing, that is, medicinal materials.

However, Zuo Feng had seen medicinal materials that were sealed and kept away from sunlight and moisture, but he had never heard of medicinal materials that were so careful that they could not be easily bumped. Even some fresh fruit medicinal materials would not be so cautious, and if fresh medicinal materials were kept like this, they would lose their value for refining medicine in less than a day.

If it is something like crystal bottles, although it is very afraid of collision, it is definitely not necessary to wrap it with rain cloth. In this way, it is really difficult for Zuo Feng to determine what the goods are in it.

He looked up and saw that Liu San and others had already started to move. They were all carefully carrying only one box of goods each and walked towards the stairs. Everyone naturally lined up and deliberately kept a certain distance from each other. Zuo Feng did not dare to stay too long and bent over to lift a box. He felt a little heavy when he touched it.

This made Zuo Feng even more surprised, because if there were some medicinal materials stored in it, then these medicinal materials should not be so heavy. Now it is almost certain that these goods have nothing to do with medicinal materials, but what they are can only be seen by opening the box.

Looking around, he found that there was a warrior at a distance around the warehouse, and those spiritual stones were embedded in the bulkhead. He and others were completely under the surveillance of these people, and any unusual movements would be seen clearly.

Zuo Feng could only suppress his curiosity temporarily and followed the end of the team obediently holding the goods. A group of people quickly moved the goods to the deck, and then continued to line up and return to the bottom of the cabin.

Seeing so many warriors around, Zuo Feng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Liu San, they attach so much importance to these goods, and there are so many people on the ship, why don't they move the goods themselves, but use us to do it."

Liu San looked around and saw that there were no people nearby, so he said: "These are all routines. For ships docked at Tianzi Pier, all goods will be handed over to the dock people for handling. It is said that a large-scale battle has occurred at the dock before, so this rule is set.

I think you should also know that fighting is prohibited at the dock, and if there is a fight at Dizi and Renzi Piers, the dock can completely suppress it with its strength. But if there is a riot at Tianzi Pier, it will be difficult for the dock to suppress it, so this rule is made."

Zuo Feng glanced at the warriors around him. These people's cultivation is not bad, and if a fight breaks out, it will indeed be difficult to suppress it. It is said that most of the ships at the Tianzi Wharf are from the upper echelons of various empires, and there may be some conflicts between them. It is estimated that they do not want these people to have any contact with each other.

When Zuo Feng nodded gently to show that he understood, Liu San said again: "And these warriors on the ship have the responsibility of guarding, of course these warriors are more likely to do this kind of low-level hard labor."

After listening to Liu San's explanation, Zuo Feng also remembered that when he was at the dock before, he saw that the other two five-masted ships were also being transported by coolies like them, and his heart was immediately relieved.

A group of people were constantly transporting goods, and the morning passed slowly. Seeing that the pile of goods should be moved after the afternoon. Liu San told everyone to go back to eat at this time. Everyone cheered and followed Liu San off the boat. Zuo Feng had to pretend to be excited and followed.

But Zuo Feng was very depressed. He worked hard for the fat pig here for nothing. Not only did he not earn a penny, but he also did not get any useful information. If it weren't for the discovery of the beast pattern, Zuo Feng's whole morning would have been almost wasted.

Two middle-aged women had already brought food to everyone under the boat. In fact, the food was actually three wooden barrels, one of which contained bowls and chopsticks.

A woman took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks with a smile, scooped out the rice from a wooden barrel, and then handed it to another woman, who then scooped out the dishes from the barrel beside her and handed them over. Everyone took a bowl of food and walked to the side, squatting on the ground to eat.

Zuo Feng followed the team and took his own food, squatting next to Liu San to eat. Zuo Feng was a child who grew up in the mountains and had experienced all kinds of hardships, and the food in front of him did look good.

But Zuo Feng was a little absent-minded when he was eating, and his eyes drifted to Shop No. 13 not far away. His main goal now was there, but it was extremely difficult to get in. Because Zuo Feng had no idea about the situation in the shop, he had no idea how many people were there and at what level.

It was OK to walk around the dock, and even if he wandered outside the shop, Zuo Feng didn't think it was a big problem. The key point was how to enter the shop without alerting people. Zuo Feng instinctively felt that the shop was in a tight state on the outside and loose on the inside. If he sneaked in, he would probably be noticed quickly.

"Little brother, are these enough to eat? You don't get paid for your work here, but you must eat enough. If it's not enough, I'll tell Aunt Xiang and I can give you some more."

Just as Zuo Feng was thinking, Liu San's voice came over. Zuo Feng smiled and nodded at Liu San, saying, "Don't worry, brother Liu San, there will be no shortage of food, and the food is cooked very well."

At this time, the rough-looking man had just finished a bowl of food, and smiled as he handed the bowl to one of the women, then turned around and said, "Aunt Xiang's cooking skills are famous, but among these people, I, Tiezhu, can eat the most. Hehe, in fact, everyone works here mainly to make a living."

Liu San smiled and said, "Tiezhu and I are both born and raised in Xinjun City. We were originally beggars. Thanks to the construction of such a wharf here, we can live here until now. Don't look at our cultivation level, but it is because of the prosperity of the Xinjun wharf, otherwise we may never be able to learn the art of body refining in our lifetime."

When Liu San started talking, he seemed to be half joking, but at the end, he seemed to touch his heart, and his face showed a look of emotion.

These words touched Zuo Feng, because he suddenly remembered the method Amber used during the investigation, which was to let the beggars enter from the warehouse at the back and then come out from the shop at the front. That is to say, there is not only one way to enter the shop, and the beast pattern may also be in the warehouse at the back.

Thinking of these, Zuo Feng felt that his thoughts were also alive, and then he thought of what Liu San said just now, and couldn't help asking: "I see that there are many beggars on the dock. Won't these shops drive them away?"

"Of course, some will even be beaten. Fortunately, fighting is prohibited in this dock area, so sometimes those beggars will suffer some physical pain, but they don't have to worry about their lives. And most of the beggars who often hang out here are familiar faces, and no one will make things too difficult for them."

The rough-looking young man named Tiezhu said with an indignant expression, obviously because of the same background, he had special sympathy for beggars.

Zuo Feng nodded gently, but in his heart he also admired Amber's cleverness at the time, and he was able to think of such a simple and easy way to investigate. However, he couldn't pretend to be a beggar now, because he was too old, and the man surnamed Zhao in the shop already knew him.

It seemed that he had to find a way to sneak in, and it would be best if he could go in and check openly, but this was almost impossible.

With a thought in his mind, Zuo Feng said again: "Where will we move this batch of goods? Will it be piled up at the dock or in the shop?"

Liu San thought that Zuo Feng was concerned about how much work he had to do, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, just lift them out from the bottom of the cabin today. I don't know where they will be transported tomorrow. If they are to be transported to other places, or if they are sold here, they will be transported to the square behind.

If they are not to be sold for the time being, they will be placed in the warehouse, but that will require going around to your warehouse behind, which may be more troublesome."

Liu San explained, and Zuo Feng frowned slightly at first, because if they were transported to the square behind, he would hardly have the opportunity to sneak into the warehouse to check. But on second thought, Zuo Feng thought that Liu San's experience was not rich enough, and he didn't guess that the goods must be transported to the warehouse.

Since this batch of goods is so important, it should not be placed casually in the square. And seeing how tightly it is wrapped, it is not reasonable to leave it outside in the wind and rain, so it is very likely to be placed in the warehouse.

But if it cannot pass through the upper bunk, but has to take a detour to the warehouse at the back, Zuo Feng still feels a little dissatisfied.

With a thought in his mind, Zuo Feng asked again: "Brother Liu San, are you responsible for counting these goods? Because I said before that if there is any damage to the goods, I will inform you."

Liu San smiled awkwardly and said: "How can I have such a big authority? Of course, the people in the shop are responsible for counting these goods, but they will not count until all the goods are moved."

After listening to this, Zuo Feng felt a little happy in his heart. He just deliberately wanted to trick Liu San, and Liu San certainly didn't know Zuo Feng's thoughts and answered without thinking.
