Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 52: Head on the Belt

Receive the money and settle the accounts.

Li Mazi didn't even have the heart to take a nap. He was ready to go find Yang Qian in excitement. But before leaving, he remembered that it would be too conspicuous to go to the police station in broad daylight. He decided to wait until Yang Qian finished his mission or go directly to Yang Qian's house at night.

In the middle, I went to Uncle Yu’s house again. After I came back, I thought about it and decided to continue shipping goods!
Just as he had told Uncle Yu before, he was now betting his own life on the contraband candy business. If he failed, he would not have the people in Ma Sheng Lane to protect him like Uncle Yu did in the past, and he would be the first to suffer.

Once on the road, it is like a fully loaded cart. You can either rush down the slope to the flat ground and be safe, or you will overturn halfway. There is no third way.

Li Mazi had figured out all these dangers from the beginning, but he just didn't tell the women at home.

Moreover, for some reason, Li Mazi always felt that he was not sure about what he was doing, but if he brought Yang Qian with him, he would succeed. This confidence was inexplicable, but it was one of the important reasons that supported him to give it a try.

"Wife, I went to see that house. It's not bad. The backyard is not small. We can make a small garden and plant the crushed ice flowers you like."

"Well, I'll go check it out tomorrow. But the location of Masheng Lane is not very good, and the house there is not cheap. Do you want to live there with Uncle Yu for a safe place?"

Shen Linghong didn't know much about the things in Masheng Lane, and she only knew the facts of the frosting business she proposed, but didn't know the reasons behind it.

But Shen Linghong was smart, she could read people's expressions, and she sensed some tension from her husband's recent behavior. Combining the cause and effect, she guessed that this should be related to the frosting business that she suggested Li Mazi to start.

"Li Deng, if this matter is dangerous, why don't we just give up?" Shen Linghong frowned slightly, regretting that she had given Li Mazi such an idea in a rush.

Li Mazi laughed, hugged his wife, kissed her on the face, and then said, "Wife, this world is full of difficulties. How can there be a smooth and peaceful way to make money?
What's more, this smuggling sugar business is neither shady nor white, and it is still controlled by the Song family. We are like snatching food from the tiger's mouth, so it is normal to be a little dangerous.

The house was arranged by Uncle Yu, and it was right next to his house, so Uncle Yu's people could help look after it. It wouldn't be very useful, but at least it could keep some scoundrels out.

Once the business is officially established, you can hire your own staff, and it is even possible to set up your own stall.

Okay, don't worry about these troubles, just work in the wine shop, your man will take care of the rest."

After hearing what Li Mazi said, Shen Linghong didn't feel relieved. Instead, she felt more and more worried.

"By the way, wife, give me some money today. I will treat Master Yang to a drink."

"Okay!" Although Shen Linghong was in charge of the household, she didn't hold back Li Mazi's spending. As long as he didn't use the money to gamble or fool around, she would never say no. And Li Mazi really changed after being with her. At least he never went to the gambling den again.

After getting some money from Shen Linghong, Li Mazi calculated the time and waited for Yang Qian on the road he would take to go home.

After waiting for a while, I saw Yang Qian walking towards me from the direction of the police station.

"Master Yang!"

"Hmm? Mazi? Are you planning to stop me and ask for a free meal again?" Yang Qian joked with Li Mazi, half smiling. He knew that Li Mazi must be waiting here to tell him about the situation of the private sale of candy in the past two days. He was also very concerned about it.

So the two of them came to the noodle shop not far away again. This time, Li Mazi brought a pound and a half of wine from the wine shop. He also cut a pound of roast goose on the way, and the two of them ate and drank the specialty sour soup noodles in the noodle shop at the table in the corner. "Master Yang, here is the account book for you to review."

"Let's talk while we eat. You tell the story first." Yang Qian was eating while looking through the accounts and asked Li Mazi to give a brief account.

"Master Yang, things are going very smoothly! For two consecutive days, a truckload of 700 to 800 kilograms of goods came in every morning. They were all low-end and medium-quality cheap goods, but the price has not dropped at all. According to the previous price, they can all be sold out before the sun sets in the afternoon, without a single pound left!"

"Is it so easy to sell?"

Yang Qian looked at the account book on the table and was quite surprised by what Li Mazi said. He thought that since Song Qixun had been running the private sugar business in Sandao City for so many years, it would be difficult for Li Mazi to squeeze in again. But he did not expect it to be smooth sailing.

"Master Yang, this is the powerful distribution channel of Ma Sheng Lane. Every nook and cranny in Sandao City is connected to Ma Sheng Lane. No one knows better than the people in Ma Sheng Lane which family needs icing sugar. It will definitely sell fast.

And our prices are even cheaper, who can resist money? Don’t you think so? ”

"No trouble?"

"Not yet. It's probably only been two days, so the other side hasn't heard the news yet, right?"

Yang Qian frowned slightly when he heard this. He knew that Song Qixun was in charge of Sandao City and had been in control of the private sugar business for so many years. He was definitely not joking. How could he be unaware of the more than 1,400 kilograms of icing sugar that Li Mazi brought into the city?
This is impossible!

The only explanation is that Song Qixun is watching from the dark. Maybe he will suddenly strike back at any time!
"Li Mazi, you better be careful these days. You are the easiest to deal with in this business. If the other party wants to take action, you will definitely bear the brunt."

"Hehe, Master Yang, don't worry, I know what to be careful of.

But Master Yang, to be frank, this is a contest between the other side and your government. I am just a small errand boy. It doesn't matter whether I am there or not. Killing me will not affect the situation. I think the other side will not be in a hurry to attack me. "

Afterwards, Li Mazi told Yang Qian about some future arrangements and that he was planning to move his family to Masheng Lane in the next few days.

Seeing that Li Mazi was truly prepared, Yang Qian didn't say anything more.

Yang Qian finished eating first, and because Li Mazi had been talking the whole time, he still had half a bowl of noodles and most of a bowl of wine left.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Take your time eating and be careful on your way back. And hurry up about moving to Masheng Lane."

"Okay, Master Yang, you go first, I'll go back after I finish eating." Li Mazi knew that Yang Qian had to practice martial arts every night, so he stood up and said goodbye to him. After that, he sat down and drank the wine, eating noodles and wine at ease.

At this time, two men suddenly came into the noodle shop. They were short and strong, with dark skin and wearing coarse cloth shorts. They looked like laborers working in the carriage and horse company.

"Two bowls of sour soup noodles, with more noodles and no vegetable leaves."

"Okay, you two sit inside."

Li Mazi didn't pay any attention to the two people who came in. But they walked right past the empty table at the door and sat right next to him. This was not right.
