The Only Favourite Ugly Husband - Chapter 158

Chapter 158 – Trouble With The Escort Agency

“It’s just a few days of work ……” Chen Wang’s wife was a bit reluctant.

Just Chen Wang ransom cost 500 silver while Chen Wang man cost 100 silver each…

If she spend so much money on these people all the money in the family would be spent!

Wouldn’t it be just alright to let these people work for a few more days?

“Bit*h, why don’t you just go now!” Chen Wang could not help but scold, no food, no sleep while not daring to even drink water. In a few days, he might be already dead!

Chen Wang’s wife vaguely sensed that something was wrong so she stopped speaking and just went home.

Seeing his wife leaving, Chen Wang breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his heart was dripping blood.

This time, he will have to empty his own home, not to mention even his private money he had been hiding.

But, even so, he still wanted his wife to ransom people.

He no longer wanted to stay here.

Chen Wang was depressed. But when Jiang Zhen looked at Chen Wang his brows frowned slightly.

At first when Chen Wang got into trouble with him he thought he was just some short-sighted guy or that it was Wen family relatives that he had made lose face, but now… things were not so simple.

The people behind the scenes obviously don’t take Chen Wang and others seriously, so they probably don’t expect Chen Wang and others to bring him trouble. Perhaps their purpose was to sow discord between him and Zheng Yi?

In that case, who was behind it?

Jiang Zhen called over He Chunsheng.

“What has been happening in Wexing Province recently?”Jiang Zhen asked.

His Jinzhen escort agency has offices in every city of Wexing Province now and kept some people in there keeping eye on things. Which was also absolutely suitable for intelligence collection.

He Chunsheng quickly said some of the news received recently, and mentioned: “Boss, before we followed Young master Zheng to capital that time, we rescued a merchant surnamed Luo on the way. Recently he come to Jiangnan, accompanied by a middle-aged man, and the identity of that middle-aged man seems a bit unusual.”

“Also one of our Jinzhen escort agency ships was robbed yesterday, but fortunately, only some stones were taken away, which had little impact.”

“A ship was taken away?”Jiang Zhen frowned slightly: “Tell me more details.”

He Chunsheng was stunned, this was something that even he didn’t know in detail.

Fortunately, his men knew about it so He Chunsheng quickly called over his own men.

“It was like this, a few days ago a merchant came from Wuzhong Province bringing along a lot of stones to build a garden, because he didn’t have a big ship he hired ship and people from our escort agency, but unexpectedly they were robbed of elm stones halfway.”

This so called elm stones were marble. Marble even at this time could be regarded as a relatively expensive stone, but it wasn’t too expensive. If just some elm stones were lost it wouldn’t be too difficult to compensate for it.

Jiang Zhen nodded and was about to say he knew when suddenly someone came running from afar shouting: “Boss, it’s not good!”

“What is it?” Jiang Zhen asked.

“The escort ship that was robbed, there was something wrong with it.” The man panted as he stopped running: “Boss, the customer said that what he was robbed of was not any elm stone but white silver. Now he has come to Fucheng saying that robbery of the ship was all directed and performed by our Jinzhen escort agency and that his silver was actually robbed by us!”

It turned out that after the escort ship was robbed the escorts brought back the guest to Wexing Province.

The guest had been very quiet on the way back, but when he arrived to Fucheng he suddenly made a scene, saying that he was not robbed of the stone but from silver.

He also felt that since he was robbed the root of the robbery was at Jinzhen escort agency and they were supervising the robbery otherwise, why did these people spared so many escort agency escort but killed two of his family members?

“He didn’t say before that what he wanted us to escort was silver?” Jiang Zhen asked, the Jinzhen escort agency had a rule that if a client wanted to ask an escort agency for help with delivering the goods, he must tell the escort agency what he wanted to have delivered, while escort agency would usually inspect the goods…. how come no one said anything before?

“No, boss.”The person who came to report replied.

Jiang Zhen left He Xiasheng in charge of collecting money for Changlong fighting business members while he went back to Fucheng.

Jiang Zhen went on horseback so when he arrived he found many people gathered at the entrance of his escort agency. Just like at the entrance of the store where he sold chickens and ducks before.

“Yoru Jinzhen escort agency deceives others too much!” At the entrance of the escort agency, a thin middle-aged man was trembling with anger as he was looking at Zhao Jinge with a face full of hatred.

“Calm down, Mr. Jin,” Zhao Jinge said: “This time it was you who did not make clear the value of the goods so we couldn’t arrange enough escorts. But since it happened, we Jinzhen escort agencies are responsible for this, but you are not without fault either.”

Zhao Jinge was not in a good mood at this moment. He originally thought that this was just a small matter, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a big deal in the end.

Also this had something to do with this Mr. Jin.

For escorting just some stones, although this Mr. Jin asked to arrange a few more people, no one took it seriously. Most of the people who were arranged were also newcomers… He was at fault in this matter, but the fault laid mostly on this Mr. Jin.

He should not conceal the value of the goods.

“I’ve already made it clear, so shouldn’t that matter no longer matter? These robbers spared your Jinzhen escort agency escorts but your escort are still out on works… those robbers, in fact were also arranged by your escort agency, right?!” Mr. Jin eyes were bloodshot, making his eyes look very red.

This was something that Zhao Jinge felt a little guilty in heart.

He had already asked the escort, there were many robbers at that time so they become a little timid. In addition, they felt that the goods they were escorting were worthless so they were not willing to fight hard and resist.

But wasn’t the escort under him acting like this because the man in front of him didn’t say that the boxes were all silver?

“Boss Jin, we have rules in our Jinzhen escort agency if the good received not match this on the written contract even if something goes wrong, we will not compensate!” Jiang Zhen came in from outside and said with a cold expression.

Changlong fighting business was trying to make trouble, this person was also probably the same.

Because of this, Jiang Zhen’s impression of this person in front of him was already very bad.

He prepared and acted such a play to tarnish the reputation of Jinzhen escort agency and now even wanted them to pay compensation… this person was really cunning!

There as indeed such a rule in Jinzhen escort agency. It’s just that at the beginning, this boss Jin was afraid that someone would be jealous, that he did not dare to tell anyone that they brought 100,000 silver to go home.

But now.. these 100,000 silver is gone.

This was money he earned during his lifetime and originally wanted to return home with them but now they were all gone!

Boss Jin looked at Jiang Zhen with such expression of hatred like he wanted to eat him.

“Send boss Jin out!” Jiang Zhen directly said this matter was very reasonable so he will directly expel people who step out of the line!

You know, usually, if you hired someone to escort you during ancient times they wouldn’t pay you compensation even if something happened on the way.

“Let me go!” Boss Jin wanted to resist, but he has pulled away in the end. At this moment Jiang Zhen also shouted: “Our Jinzhen escort agency always writes contracts when we escort other people things in black and white. As long as you tell the truth, we will certainly pay compensation in accordance with the contract. But if someone does not abide by the contract, I will not tolerate it!”

Jiang Zhen spoke loudly, letting the people around him respond one after another.

When Jiang Zhen said so, people around also felt that it was that client problem.

What’s more,…… this man said that he was being escorted with silver. But does he have proof? Who knows if he really was robbed of stones and now just wanted to rely on Jinzhen escort agency to earn more money?

The people of Fucheng were watching Jinzhen escort agency become bigger little by little, even the escort of Jinzhen escort agency now, many of them were people of Fucheng. In such a situation, the people of Fucheng were naturally also more on Jiang Zhen side.

When boss Jin was escorted out he saw suspicious eyes of the people around him, and for a moment he become extremely angry.

These people… These people.

He thought about it and went directly to the Yamen.

After Jiang Zhen sent people away, he called in all the escort of Jinzhen escort agency in the city: ”Tomorrow everyone will follow me to train outside the city! You are escorts, the most important part of your job is to protect the guests and goods! In the future, if something like this happens and there are any robbers all escort involved will no longer have to work in Jinzhen escort agency!”

Jinzhen escort agency paid a lot of money so all escort were reluctant to leave Jinzhen escort agency so they nodded in agreement.

Jiang Zhen planned to take these people outside the city for good training the next day, but he couldn’t since there was another accident the next day.

That boss Jin unexpectedly in the middle of the night committed suitcase in front of Jinzhen escort agency, leaving behind a bloody letter.

Jiang Zhen looked at the scene, the heart immediately thumped.

It was true that boss Jin committed suicide.

He did not know whether this man wanted to use his life to frame the Jinzhen escort agency or he was really a victim but at present, the Jinzhen escort agency was really in trouble.

Since the person was dead, everyone would sympathize with him and blame Jinzhen escort agency…. also on the same day, another escort ship of Jinzhen escort agency had a problem.

Several escorts of Jinzhen escort agency unexpectedly killed their clients and robbed the goods before running away!
