This Second Male Lead Has Something Special

It’s not that Village Chief Su has never been to the government office.

Since he is the head of a village, it is inevitable that some things will be summoned to the government office for detailed discussion. He is proud of this. After all, he is the only one in the whole town who has entered the gate of the government office.

It’s not good to show off outside, but every time he likes to mention this matter to his grandchildren, the children’s eyes are full of admiration.

It’s just...

Flustered.

He has been here before, but at that time, the village chiefs of other villages also came together. There was some care between each other. As long as they didn’t force themselves to stand out, they could be like shadows, inconspicuous, and would not make mistakes.

Now that he came alone, how could he not be panicked.

What should I say when I see people? What shouldn’t I say?

Will I offend people, will I...

I was thinking about it, and cold sweat came out of my forehead.

And at this moment, a person’s hand patted Village Chief Su on the shoulder, and Village Chief Su jumped up in fright.

"Oh, old man, you didn't do anything shameful, did you? You are so scared standing in front of the government office?"

When Village Chief Su heard the familiar voice, the panic in his heart dissipated a little. He stared at the visitor and said, "What are you talking about? I came here for business."

After saying that, he gritted his teeth secretly.

Why is my luck so bad?

I met this annoying guy, who could have met anyone else.

When I was young, I fell in love with the same girl and was jealous for a long time. Every time I met her, I would stare at her and try to please her parents in various ways, hoping to win her back.

As a result, the two of them got nothing.

In the end, the girl married another man.

But even so, when the two met again, they were always sly.

It happened decades ago. It is said that people from two different villages would not have any intersection again, but who made them become village chiefs one after another? The villages are not necessarily harmonious.

For example, their Taimin Village and Ankou Village.

The two villages share a stream, one upstream and one downstream. There is no conflict in normal times, but once there is a drought, they fight countless times for the water of the stream.

Village Chief Su stared at him, "What about you? What are you doing here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Village Chief Liu looked proud, "The girl in our village is lucky to marry a constable in the yamen. She came to me to talk a few days ago. She invited me warmly, so I came."

Village Chief Su felt a toothache when he heard it.

But it's true that with this person around, the panic in his heart was reduced a lot.

He pulled the person in, "It's just right, take me to see this constable, I have something to ask."

If it was anything else, Village Chief Liu would not agree.

But he was eager for this kind of thing.

For the yamen, the constable is a very small official position, but for ordinary people like them, it is the level of admiration.

The two did not go through the main gate of the yamen, but went around and went to the back door.

After waiting for a few minutes to find someone to report, Liang finally arrived. He chatted with him for a while, and then Village Chief Su briefly talked about Zhu Si's situation, and then said, "So I wanted to find out if someone's child was lost."

"Heh." Village Chief Liu laughed instantly, "Old Su, didn't you do something stupid? Just based on a birthmark, you said it was a lost child of a rich family, and you even went to the government office to make a fuss. You are really confused."

He said he was confused, but in fact he was happy to watch a show.

He wanted to trouble the government office for something that didn't exist, fearing that he would be scolded.

In fact, before coming, Village Chief Su had already prepared for the scolding.

Otherwise, why didn't he dare to go in when he arrived at the government office? He was afraid that he would not only be scolded, but also beaten.

When he was in the village, Su Boyan had already reminded him.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one.

What if Zhu Si's identity is really as they thought, if they don't do anything, it is really possible that the whole village will be implicated in the end.

So, he came.

Regardless of whether the government office will help investigate in the end, it doesn't matter.

It would be best if they can help, but it's okay if they don't. When Zhu Si's family comes to him, he will have an excuse to push the responsibility away.

He did come to the government office, but the people in the government office didn't help, which had nothing to do with him and their village.

Of course, the premise of doing these things is to believe that Zhu Si has a family with a great background.

As for whether there is one, he is not sure.

He even thinks there is no such coincidence.

Village Chief Su smiled awkwardly and waited to be scolded.

As a result, Constable Liang just glanced at him indifferently and said, "Come with me."

The government office did record some files.

There are always some big families who have lost children in various towns.

It's difficult to find them, but how can you not find your own children? There is no way to arrange people to check every household in every town, but some information has been left at the government office, holding a glimmer of hope that you can find your own children.

Constable Liang was about to leave with his men. He took two steps and said to Village Chief Liu behind him: "There is nothing for you to do here, go back first."

Village Chief Liu laughed awkwardly twice, and before he could say anything, Constable Liang and the others disappeared.

Suddenly, he felt a little regretful that he didn't see the good show with his own eyes.

Maybe Village Chief Su was dragged away to be beaten.

Constable Liang and the others walked for a while and went to another room.

When he explained his purpose, someone asked: "How old is the girl you are talking about? Did she keep the clothes she lost, and did she carry any jewelry with her?"

Several questions almost confused Village Chief Su. He waved his hands and said, "No clothes or jewelry. He looks about five or six years old."

Agent Liang frowned, "How is it possible to find her family with this information?"

"By the way, she has a birthmark on her body." Village Chief Su pointed out a location, "I asked the old lady at home to ask, and there is probably a birthmark at this location, and there is also a scar left by Lijia on her ankle... …What’s wrong? Did you say something wrong?”

Village Chief Su panicked.

Before he finished speaking, the expressions of the two people in front of him changed instantly.

But immediately after, he started to get excited. Could it be that Zhu Si was really the lost girl of the wealthy family?

"Are you serious?" Agent Liang said with a serious face, "You have to know that if you dare to deceive us, you will never be able to bear the consequences."

"This... I'm not sure about this." Village Chief Su was unsure.

Zhu Si indeed said that, but he had never seen it with his own eyes whether it was true or not, and he did not dare to see it with his own eyes.

He said quickly: "Zhu Si is at Xiao's home now. How about you send someone to have a look?"

Of course you have to go see it.

And it was right away, and he even had to talk to the county government.

In the booklet recording the missing children, the higher the position, the larger the family behind the child.

In this booklet, the top three names include children who are very similar to what Village Chief Su described.

The ages are right, and the birthmarks and marks on their bodies are also right.

It's just that the booklet doesn't specify what birthmarks and imprints they are. You have to contact the town above and arrange for someone to come down and verify it in person.

Once it is confirmed that this is the girl, I am afraid it will cause a big sensation.

Agent Liang looked at Village Chief Su, who looked flattering and flustered in front of him.

He tried his best to act friendly. If Zhu Si was really that person, Village Chief Su and his village would definitely receive a lot of rewards, and even he might be able to take advantage of it. "Don't worry too much. If you really find someone, For people, the benefits are absolutely indispensable to you.”

Village Chief Su bowed his back and responded.

In my heart, I feel lucky to have come to this place.

Fortunately, I listened to what the scholar said, otherwise I wouldn't have intervened in Yin Huan's matter, let alone gained anything, the whole village would have been implicated.

At the same time, he was thinking that Yin Huan must have known something in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have gone all the way to the town to pick him up.

Village Chief Su was a little hesitant at this time. He didn't know whether to tell Agent Liang about this.

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided to go back and discuss it with the scholar before making any plans.

"There are so many ship merchants passing by." Bi Qiao looked at the lake in the distance. There were many large and small merchant ships. Some of them even left before they docked at the dock. She watched for a while and asked the people around her. : "Tell me, who should we sell to?"

Su Lin also looked into the distance, and he said calmly: "Don't you already have an idea in your mind?"

"Who said that? I have no idea at all." Bi Qiao denied.

The person in front of her had a mysterious origin, and he didn't mean any harm to her when we got along with him.

However, since the two will join forces in a short period of time, of course they have to consider each other's abilities.

If nothing else works, she is not willing to drag along a partner who is lagging behind. "There are not ten but seven or eight merchant ships docked at the dock. Who do you think we should talk to about business?"

Su Lin pointed to a boat.

Bi Qiao raised his eyebrows, "Why did you choose this merchant ship?"

"If you had just seen what the workers were carrying, you wouldn't have asked this question." Su Lin shrugged, but found that he couldn't move at all with a bamboo basket on his shoulder.

He was not embarrassed and continued: "Of course, it is also possible that you are pretending to be confused and just considering me."

Bi Qiao rolled his eyes at him.

He didn't say anything and just walked forward.

Obviously, Su Lin passed this consideration.

In fact, it is a matter of considering attention.

There are many merchant ships docked at the pier, as well as many workers moving goods.

One of them carried a lot of food aboard, and it was obviously doing this kind of business.

Since the origin of the other merchant ships was unknown, the choice was naturally placed on this small ship.

However, some things cannot keep up with the changes.

Just when they walked to the dock and were still a short distance away from the merchant ship, someone suddenly stopped them and said, "What kind of snacks are you carrying? It smells very sweet."

The person who stopped him was a young man in fine clothes, who looked like he had a lot of money.

Su Lin untied the bamboo basket and said, "Young master, would you like to try the fresh bayberry cake?"

The young master was a little dazed, with a bit of sadness in his eyes.

Su Lin took a look.

This is a character with a story.

However, he doesn’t know anyone, so even if there is a story, it has nothing to do with him. “It was just cooked this morning. It tastes sweet with a bit of sourness, very...”

"Okay, let's take it to the boat and someone will pay you." The young master interrupted him directly, turned around and left.

"..." Su Lin felt that he was very eloquent.

The product was successfully sold before the sales pitch was finished.

Simply awesome!

I encouraged myself and went to the merchant ship pointed by the young master.

Not to mention it is the largest ship docked at the pier, but it is definitely the most luxurious one.

The boy looked at the things they sent, without much interest. He just said lightly: "You are lucky. If it were anything else, my young master wouldn't even look at it."

Compared to ordinary people, cakes are considered good things.

But in their house, they are just ordinary snacks. Not to mention the masters, even the servants in the house eat more exquisite food than this.

However, it happened to be bayberry.

The young master cares about bayberry the most. Along the way, he will buy anything that has something to do with bayberry.

Just like these boxes of bayberry cakes.

Su Lin was curious, "Does the young master like to eat bayberry? There are many bayberries near my home, and I can make some more."

"Farewell, it's not the young master who likes to eat, but..." Halfway through, the servant glared at him, "How can you inquire about the young master's affairs? Pay the bill and leave."

Su Lin left more than 30 bayberry cakes and sold all the others, including the bamboo basket on his back.

The total income was more than three taels of silver, which was a little more than retail.

The two people who took the silver did not leave the dock, but separated and walked towards other merchant ships.

After selling out the bayberry cakes today, there are still more than 20 baskets of bayberries at home.

Taking advantage of the time now, it is just right to try to order some in advance.

The bayberry cakes they made are superior to ordinary cakes in terms of taste and appearance. After sending some for tasting, many ship merchants are interested.

Unfortunately, most ship merchants will not stay at the dock for a long time. After knowing that they can't get the goods now, they lost interest.

A small number of ship merchants are willing to wait until tomorrow.

However, the quantity ordered is not too much.

After Bi Qiao found several merchant ships, he ordered 300 bayberry cakes.

Adding the 100 that can be sold in the town, it will probably be possible to earn about 400 cakes tomorrow.

The income from 100 is about 100 coins, and 400 coins can earn about 400 coins, which is almost half a tael of silver.

Unfortunately, this is not a fixed business.

If you sell more or less, you have to talk to the merchant ships passing by on the same day. Fortunately, this is the amount she negotiated, not including what Su Lin negotiated, so he should be able to negotiate some more.

Bi Qiao was so thirsty that she looked at the tea stall next to her and simply spent two cents to order a pot of tea and waited while drinking.

After waiting for a while, she finally saw a familiar figure in front of her.

At first, she wanted to see from Su Lin's face whether he sold a lot, but after taking a look, she found that this man's expression was always the same, whether he was smiling or not, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

After a while, Su Lin sat opposite Bi Qiao, first poured a cup of tea, and then said: "How about two more meat buns?"

Bi Qiao snorted coldly and waved to order four meat buns.

It was still steaming hot, and she was reluctant to stop eating even when it burned her mouth.

Bi Qiao said while hissing, "I ordered 300 pieces, what about you?"

Su Lin did not answer her question, but asked back: "Do you know the broker?"

"Broker?" Bi Qiao was stunned at first, then her eyes lit up, "How could I forget the broker, did you make a deal with him?"

Su Lin nodded and continued to eat the big meat bun.

The broker is a very special businessman on the dock. He has all the resources on the dock. He can find buyers for sellers and sellers for buyers.

Introducing transactions for people and getting commissions from them.

Su Lin's initial idea was not the passing ship merchants, but the brokers on the dock.

It is good to negotiate business with ship merchants, at least all the money earned belongs to oneself, but it is too time-consuming.

You have to run to the dock almost every day, and you may not be able to attract buyers even if you talk a lot, and you can't determine the number of bayberry cakes that can be sold every day.

But now, just a little commission can solve all problems.

Su Lin was willing to spend this little money.

After all, he had to spend most of his time with Su Jianyi. It was more fun to watch him study, and it was also his most important task. After all, the original body wanted to be a prodigal son who relied on his father, not a young man who made a fortune.

Su Lin gestured, "Yangmei cake is not a rare cake, but it tastes and looks good. The other party is willing to find a seller for us. A fixed amount can be sold every day, but he has to take a commission of this amount."

"No problem." Bi Qiao nodded.

Without Su Lin's words, she knew that this little money could save a lot of trouble.

She asked, "How much goods does the other party want?"

Su Lin did not answer. He took a sip of the teacup first, and then said slowly, "Let Hu Ya prepare at least ten baskets of Yangmei every day."
