Chapter 75 Section 1 Clause 23 (5)

  Tian Miao nodded. Pointing at Zheng Shiyin, he said: "This is my master. Da Haoyan Jingjie. He's a rough man. At home, he's half-opened. So, Mr. Liu, if you want to talk about the ups and downs, just tell me."

  Luo and Zhang exchanged a glance. It seemed like Zhang Biao was seeking Luo Mingwei's opinion. But Tian Miao suddenly had a feeling, not very clear, just vaguely felt that Zhang Biao seemed to be the one in charge. And Luo Mingwei looked more like a small role on the surface. It seems that the intelligence gathered by their police colleagues before was wrong.

  Zhang Biao handed a cigarette to Zheng Shiyan and lit it for him. However, he stared at his hand and casually asked, "Lao Rong."

  Zheng Shiyuan was still confused. "First time update?" Tian Miao thought for a while before understanding. He took over the conversation and said, "Liu boss, my family's not some trivial matter to be taken lightly. Let's just open up and speak frankly. Let's talk plainly."

  Down, Yang, cut, and Mi point to the four directions of east, south, west, and north. Used here, it means that there is something related to what I said. As for Zhang Biao's question about Lao Rong, it was because he saw Yan Ying Jie's fingers were long and slender, so he mistakenly thought he was a thief from the Dongbei region. Zhang Biao himself also counts as someone from the Dongbei region, but he is from the branch of robbers who block roads. Rong generally refers to people who rely on technique to steal things, also known as the Rong school.

  Until now, Zhang Biao nodded. The suspicion in his heart towards Tian Miao and Miao was finally temporarily put down. First, he confirmed that the two were indeed from Henan Province. Secondly, it was indeed a family-style business. Finally, this Yan Yingjie is unlearned and untalented. All the skills of doing business are on his wife's body. No wonder he insisted on bringing his wife along.

  But his wife is also a novice. Although there is a legacy, it's not thorough. For example, when Zhang Biao first made a fist, he raised both hands to his chest, with the two thumbs facing forward and backward. This is a courtesy to Tian Miao Miao. If Tian Miao Miao understood the rules, she should have also made a fist, with both thumbs bent simultaneously, indicating that I am a senior. But Tian Miao Miao returned a courtesy as if they were equals. The more Zhang Biao believed in this, the more superstitious he became, adhering to the tradition of favoring males over females. Many "skills" are passed down only to sons and not daughters. This Yan Ying Jie is unlearned and untalented, relying on his family's reputation to get by. But someone had to take charge of the household matters. His uncle married him off to a talented wife who could be nurtured. This was also reasonable. As for the "skills", at most, only half were passed down to Tian Miao Miao, acknowledging her identity. Only then did this series of tests begin. Otherwise, the two might have turned against each other earlier.

  He finally got to the point. Zhang Biao had been rummaging through his pockets for half a day before pulling out something and spreading it open, revealing several 100-yuan bills. He pushed them towards Tian Miao: "Brother Yan, sister-in-law, I'm not hiding anything from you. Lately, the 'flower waist' has been cracking down hard (that's what we call the police on the streets). Our supply chain has been cut off and we only have a few items left in stock. We still have a few Taiwan-made ones left, about thirty Malaysia-made ones...

  Tian Miao Miao picked up the few banknotes and put them in his hand. His sleeve was rolled up, but it still covered his hand. This made Zhang Biao's smile for the first time have a hint of anxiety. Tian Miao Miao's sleeves were big, covering his hands so he couldn't see what he was doing.

  Tian Miao didn't care about him. He carefully rubbed it for a while, then smiled and pulled out 2 or 3 banknotes to spread on the table. The rest was surprisingly swept away with a wave of his hand and returned to Zhang Biao. Zhang Biao looked at Luo Mingwei. Luo Mingwei frowned, staring at Tian Miao, meaning to ask for an explanation.

  Tian Miao leaned in close to Zheng Shiyan and whispered something. Zheng Shiyan smiled and said, "Both of my older brothers already know I'm an outsider. The family business has always been managed by you. If there's anything to discuss, just talk to them directly."

  Tian Miao looked at Zhang Biao and said: "Biaozi, my uncle says you're not a trustworthy person. It seems that it's true after all. You have several goods here, one of which is from Russia last year. I've seen it before, and it's actually good stuff. But you're just a facade. Look at this, look at that. Except for one decent-looking item, the rest are all rubbish. One is from Fujian, and the police have already cracked down on their dens. Even if you still have such goods, who would dare to buy them? And then there's another one from Guangdong, probably from several years ago. The workmanship, the quality... it's like toilet paper that can be crushed by hand. You're shameless enough to bring this out. Finally, the most ridiculous thing is that you even have a note from the central bank. How could you two old brothers possibly have a change of heart and prepare to sell real goods as fake ones? If that's the case, I'll go back to Baoning Temple and offer a longevity plaque for the two of you."

  Jian Tian Miao Miao lightly and easily exposed her own secrets. Zhang Biao not only didn't get angry, but instead laughed and explained: "This is all wrong! Every day it's fake. Sometimes even I myself can't tell what's real or not. There's a fashionable phrase that says... Ah yes, 'stupidly can't tell apart'. Haha..."

  Tian Miao and Zhang Biao are fighting in this law. Zheng Shiyin next to him let out a deep breath. This is the first pass of the goods inspection. If you can't tell, it's basically your own person. It's a trustworthy trading partner. Otherwise, it's impossible to trade with you. Didn't you see Luo Mingwei just now, he was tense and holding onto the two of them. It seems that the real thing should be on him. First time update

  Tian Niu smiled and picked up her teacup. Under the table, Zheng Shiyuan lightly kicked her once, hinting that it was time. Tian Niu didn't respond to him. She slowly and calmly took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Two older brothers, we've also seen the depth of the water. Isn't it time for you to listen to me, your younger sister, say a few words?"

  "Please."

  "You two should know. The New Year is approaching soon. Our business only has a few good days throughout the year; I don't know about other places. But our place relies on this period to sell goods. I followed the head of the household from far away in Sichuan Province. Originally, I was thinking of getting more back home for preparation. After all, my uncle is also one of your old customers. This trip has been convenient with a good route."

  But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Let's just end it here today. This time we meet, let's consider it as my uncle and his wife coming to visit you both. Tomorrow, I'll send out invitations and we can formally pay our respects. We'll part on good terms.

  "It's almost New Year. The two of us are planning to head south to explore the road. I heard that Monkey's place has some good stuff lately. And doing business is also simple, just bring money and you're done. This old man relying on others for food isn't a long-term plan anyway. Sorry about that, two brothers." Tian Miao Miao said it with an increasingly relaxed tone. But Luo and Zhang's faces were getting uglier and uglier.

  This is the routine designed by the detectives of the previous major case team. It's a rule summarized by the investigation based on all similar counterfeit cases in recent years. For more and faster chapters, please visit. In this black industry chain, there are basically only one fixed customer. All single-line contacts. They attach great importance to credit. Once something happens, they will be very tight-lipped. It's hard to pry out valuable information; after cooperating for a year or two, the contact between the two parties will become closer and closer. This is also based on safety considerations. No one wants to abandon old customers and find new ones. This is a risky behavior. Now Tian Miao said this, it's just forcing the other party to show their attitude, to probe the other party's bottom line.

  Two men covered up by smoking and drinking tea, exchanging a meaningful glance. Luo Mingwei then pulled out a stack of banknotes from his suit pocket, wrapped in plastic wrap, with two denominations: 100 yuan and 10 yuan bills. He put them in front of Tian Miao and smiled, saying: "That's the usual rule. Six 100-yuan bills for four 10-yuan bills. These are all brand new goods, generally undetectable by counterfeit detectors; if we sell this batch in Henan Province, I reckon it'll take at least half a year before anyone discovers them. If you're not afraid of getting caught, this time we can make a big profit."

  "The bold ones get rich, the timid ones starve. Afraid to continue in this line... Let's just say it straight out. How much do you two brothers have?" Tian Miao Miao carefully opened the plastic wrap and pinched a 10-yuan and a 100-yuan note. She silently cursed in her heart. These counterfeiters are getting more and more ruthless. Even the 10-yuan notes are fake. She carefully felt them again, and indeed they had the same texture as the three banknotes provided by the Economic Investigation Team. They were from this latest batch of high-tech counterfeit currency.

  She nodded at Zheng Shiyan, indicating that things were going well. Zheng Shiyan also nodded, letting her take care of things. Luo Mingwei smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law is really straightforward. Indeed, a woman's determination is not inferior to a man's. Speak up, how much do you plan to make this time?"

  "This time, the two of us have invested all our savings. We've scraped together every penny we could find. My husband and I aren't planning on taking this money back home. Of course, we'll eat as much as we can. Just the two of us. But your prices... are a bit high, aren't they?"

  "Shh... Ah, I'm telling you, woman. How can you be so unreasonable? We and your aunt are just like this price. Now you want to haggle. Are you sincerely buying or just teasing me?"

  As soon as Tian Miao Miao wanted to haggle over the price, Zhang Biao suddenly slammed his hand on the table, looking both angry and impatient.

  Zheng Shiyan also became tense. Almost pulled out his gun. Staring tightly at the two suspects. If there was any slight movement, he would be ready to pull out his gun. Words that had been spoken could not be taken back. Water that had been splashed could not be gathered back up. He would rather startle the suspects than let Tian Miao Miao get into even a bit of trouble. This was a man's responsibility.

  He thought so. Tian Miao Miao could bite Lu Dongbin to death. First, she turned her head and glared at him fiercely. She opened her mouth and scolded: "Don't be nosy. If you're impatient, get out." Zheng Shiyan was so angry that he wanted to spank her twice more.

  Lu Mingwei and Zhang Biao's carefully crafted momentum was suddenly dissipated by Tian Miao. The two exchanged a glance, Lu Mingwei pointed to the table with his finger and asked discontentedly: "Isn't this a bit unprofitable for you, little sister?"

  Tian Miao Miao pointedly retorted: "Do you two think I'm stupid? Go ask around. Everywhere in the world it's 5 and 3, but when it comes to us, it becomes 6 and 4. Do you two brothers think I'm a woman who can be easily bullied?"

  There's another thing. My husband and I are my husband and I. My uncle is my uncle. To put it bluntly, we're just not satisfied with his stingy ways. This time he came out to discuss business with you all. He traveled a long distance. He didn't even dare take the train. It's only because of his guilt that he can return in one piece. What a waste of money on beggars!
