Chapter 275 Zhang Heng's Story ([-])

"With the mind and eyes, you can communicate with the world, and you can print everything around you into your mind."

"No matter how hidden you are, you can't escape."

"I see." The old man suddenly realized.

Although he knew martial arts and was not weak, he obviously hadn't reached Han Fei's level yet.

It is impossible to understand this kind of secret.

For him, tricks are the only pursuit, and it is also the goal that he can strive for for the rest of his life.

Then, the old man said: "I have finished asking my questions, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask."

As soon as the words were finished, Di Renjie stepped forward directly, and he couldn't bear to ask questions.

"Old man, you revealed to Dali Temple before that you have seen the same scene as the blessing ceremony, right?"

"That's right." The old man nodded.

Immediately afterwards, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes:
"That was more than 50 years ago, when Emperor Taizong was still in power, and the Tang Dynasty was in a period of great strength, and I had just arrived in Chang'an not long ago."

……

"Zhang Heng, go to work hard again!"

A muscular man with a scar on his face said to the thin young man in front of him.

"Yes, Brother Pang Da." The young man named Zhang Heng smiled wryly. What can he do without being a coolie?

He has neither knowledge nor martial arts, and he doesn't even have the skills to eat. If he doesn't work as a coolie, he may just starve to death.

Hearing this, Brother Pang suggested: "Why don't you join the gang with me, it's hard to talk about being rich, and it's okay to have a full meal."

Zhang Heng shook his head: "Thank you Brother Pang for your kindness, but I really can't do it."

Although he is poor, he dare not do things that violate the law, and gangsters will inevitably do some bad things.

Besides, with his thin body, it is impossible for gangsters to achieve anything.

Swords, lights, swords, and fighting with weapons are all jobs with your head tied to your waist.

If you are not careful, you will be buried in the street.

You can barely survive as a coolie, but you can't help yourself if you join a gang.

At that time, even if you want to leave, you will not be able to leave.

"In that case, you decide for yourself."

After finishing speaking, Brother Pang turned and left.

Zhang Heng shook his head, then came to the pier and continued his day-to-day work.

After carrying the goods for half a day, you can get some money. Although it is not much, it is barely enough to eat.

After an unknown amount of time, all the goods had been moved, and he had also received his share of wages.

Originally, Zhang Heng planned to go home as soon as possible. After all, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he had to buy something to reward himself.

However, he was stopped.

"Zhang Heng, I have a big job here, do you want to do it with me?"

The person who came was called Li Jian, and he was also a worker at the dock, but he had a little bit of power, so he could be regarded as a small boss or something.

"Brother Li, what's the big deal?"

Zhang Heng is very cautious, because he knows that there will never be a pie in the sky.

If there is really a good job, there is no need to find him, who is thin and not very gregarious.

Immediately, Li Jian was a little annoyed: "Why ask so many questions, you just say whether to go or not, and it's over."

Hearing this, Zhang Heng suddenly realized something.

It seems... this is a batch of black goods.

After staying on the pier for so long, he can be considered to have learned something.

The so-called black goods refer to many shady goods, such as private salt, private silver, and private iron.

This kind of goods is often moved at night, the purpose is to avoid the government's pursuit.

Because it is an illegal activity, the risks are extremely high, but at the same time, the benefits are also quite high.

I heard that even the workers who go to carry the goods can get a lot of money afterwards.

For this kind of thing, Zhang Heng usually keeps a respectful distance, after all, if something happens, it will really be over.

However, this time he agreed.

Because the salary is a full ten taels of silver.

What is this concept?
Even for Brother Pang, who has been in the gang for several years, it is absolutely impossible to take out ten taels of silver at once.

With these twelve taels, for a long time, he no longer has to worry about basic necessities of life.

The fluke mentality of taking risks has existed in people's minds since ancient times.

Zhang Heng will not be an exception.

That night, he and many workers followed Li Jian to a very hidden pier.

It was very dark there, with no light, and it was almost to the point where you couldn't see your fingers.

Even with an oil lamp, the light cannot go very far, and it is impossible to see things clearly.

After an unknown period of time, there was some movement on the surface of the sea, and it was only when we approached that we could see that it was a cargo ship.

The cabins of the cargo ship are all wrapped in black cloth, which is even more difficult to detect in the middle of the night.

"Here we come." Li Jian was full of excitement.

As the organizer of all the workers, he certainly couldn't have only ten taels of silver.

According to the other party's promise, as long as they bring enough workers, they will give him a full 200 taels of silver.

With this money, he no longer needs to go to the pier, but can live like a local rich man.

At that time, wouldn't there be delicious food, fine wine, and beautiful maids, all of which would be readily available?

Thinking of this, Li Jian smiled even more, as if he had seen a beautiful life.

Soon, the cargo ship docked on the shore.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people came down from the boat. They were tightly packed and looked very mysterious.

The leading man in black whispered: "The goods are all on the top, you go up and move them all down."

At this time, Li Jian stepped forward with a smile: "Boss, then their wages and my bounty..."

"Don't worry, you are indispensable."

The man in black had a low voice, as if he was deliberately hiding it, not wanting others to know his original voice.

"okay!"

Li Jian turned his head and yelled at the workers: "Everyone, work hard, finish moving early and go home early."

"Yes!"

"go home?"

Hearing this, the man in black muttered to himself, and there seemed to be disdain in his words.

Subsequently, all workers boarded the ship.

On the boat, the first thing that catches the eye is a large black wooden box.

The wooden box was wrapped in black cloth, and the contents inside were completely invisible, and there was no special smell coming out.

Under Li Jian's arrangement, every two people were divided into groups, and they could lift two wooden boxes at a time.

As soon as he lifted the box, Zhang Heng frowned at the heavy feeling. This thing is really too heavy.

He had lifted heavy objects before, but never felt so out of breath.

"In here, what exactly is it?"

Zhang Heng was very curious about the things inside.

"It's not something you should think about, don't think about it!" The workers in his group quickly warned.

As an old worker, he has moved a lot of this kind of illegal goods, but he never dared to ask questions.

Sometimes, knowing too much can mean that you are close to death.

Don't care about things you shouldn't care about, don't know things you shouldn't know, this is the way of survival for every little person.

"I see." Zhang Heng replied cautiously.

Although the curiosity in my heart was still strong, I didn't dare to spy on anything at will.

However, God's will always tricks people.

Soon, he knew the specific goods, and suddenly cold sweat spread all over his body.

This time, big trouble!
