"Don't worry, I will arrange the ships right away and ensure that the fleet will be assembled at the ferry within half an hour. Your schedule will definitely not be delayed."
Su Fei then nodded in agreement.
"Then thank you Admiral Miao, Su took note of it."
What Miao Tianqi wanted was these words, and his face suddenly showed joy. He had been worried that he would never have the chance to repay Su Fei's kindness. After all, if Su Fei hadn't neutralized the Canal Transport Gang clipper's killing move, the imperial navy would not have been able to wipe out the Canal Transport Gang fleet like this.
Moreover, Su Fei is a man who solves crimes like a god and is very powerful in martial arts. He will definitely have a bright future in the future. If we make acquaintance with him now, he will be of great use in the future.
Moreover, Miao Tianqi reported the annihilation of Canal Transport Gang's fleet, which was a big credit to himself.
Being able to help him now would put his worries at ease. He immediately patted his chest and promised.
"Thousand Households Commander Su Don't worry, I will handle this matter beautifully. You first take the prisoners and property to the ferry to wait. I will adjust the boat right away and we will meet at the ferry!"
After saying that, Miao Tianqi left in a hurry, his steps brisk, obviously trying his best to get this thing done.
Su Fei ordered Imperial Guard to divide the work and cooperate with the navy soldiers.
Some people escorted the criminal to the ferry, and some people carried the silver coins and stolen money into the truck. The entire county magistrate's office became busy in an instant, and was orderly without any chaos.
Half an hour later, when Su Fei and his team arrived at Guangling Ferry Landing, they saw four majestic naval ships docked on the shore, with sails raised high and soldiers standing in formation on the deck.
Miao Tianqi was standing on the bow of the leading warship. When he saw Su Fei arriving, he waved and shouted.
"Thousand Households Commander Su, the fleet is ready. The main criminal and the tax money can be loaded on my navy flagship. The remaining prisoners and property will be loaded on three other ships. Our navy will escort you throughout the journey. I guarantee you a safe journey."
Su Fei looked at the four warships in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little grateful in his heart, and said to Miao Tianqi.
"Admiral Miao took the trouble."
"Hey, Thousand Households Commander Su said this."
Miao Tianqi smiled and waved.
"We all serve the imperial court, so we should help each other. Come on board the ship and set off as early as possible while it's still early. I wish you a safe journey."
Su Fei said no more and directed his men to send the prisoners and property onto the warship.
After all personnel and supplies were arranged, he boarded the flagship deck and nodded to Miao Tianqi.
The four navy ships slowly left the ferry and broke through the waves in the direction of the imperial city.
On the deck, Pang Feilong and Ren Daowei were shackled to the side of the ship. They looked at Guangling City gradually going away, their faces full of despair.
Su Fei stood on the bow of the ship, watching the ship drift away from sleep, thinking in his mind.
This time back to Beijing, not only can Perfection complete the task.
You can also get a heavy reward from Pacification Office. Lord Lei will be really shocked when he sees these five million taels of tax money and all the criminals.
The ship sailed on the Grand Canal river for three days. During these three days, it was uneventful. Imperial Guard added water divisions, and no water bandits dared to approach it.
At noon that day, Su Fei stood on the bow of the ship and could vaguely see the outline of the imperial city.
Four naval warships broke through the mist on the river and slowly sailed into the Imperial City Ferry. From a distance, they saw that the shore was dark and crowded with people.
Two flags were erected and two simple sheds were installed.
While the flag is waving.
You can clearly see the flag of Imperial Guard and the cyan official flag of Ministry of Revenue.
The officials of Imperial Guard and Ministry of Revenue have never had much contact with each other. Now they are all gathered together to wait for someone. This scene is very rare.
When the warship docked, Su Fei straightened his clothes and took the lead to step off the gangplank.
As soon as we stepped onto the pier, we saw a commotion among the crowd. A group of civil servants in blue official uniforms strode forward, pushed through the Imperial Guard team, and hurriedly greeted them.
The leader is an old man who is over sixty years old. He has a thin face but is energetic. There is a colorful golden pheasant embroidered on his chest.
This person is none other than Principal Second Rank Ministry of Revenue Minister Zhang Xiongfei.
"This young man is a man of great talent and a man of great talent. He is Su Fei Thousand Households Commander Su. I, Zhang Xiongfei, represent Ministry of Revenue. Thank you Thousand Households Commander Su for serving the court and recovering the tax money for Ministry of Revenue."
Zhang Xiongfei walked up to Su Fei in a few steps and saluted with his hands clasped in fists. His tone was so excited that he even threw away the usual reserve of civilized officials.
Before Su Fei could react.
The Ministry of Revenue officials behind him also came forward one after another, surrounded Su Fei, first saluted, and then talked in a flurry of words.
"Thousand Households Commander Su did a great job in solving the case. Five million taels of tax money were recovered, which solved our urgent need Ministry of Revenue."
"A few days ago, the ministry learned that the tax money had been robbed. Everyone in the ministry was so worried that their heads turned pale. Now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
"Thousand Households Commander Su If you have time, you must go to Ministry of Revenue. We Ministry of Revenue officials are very grateful to Thousand Households Commander Su."
Su Fei then understood a little more and quickly returned the gift.
"Minister Zhang is welcome, gentlemen, you are welcome. It is Imperial Guard's duty to catch the bandits and recover the tax money."
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the crowd behind him, where Lei Chongxiao was standing behind with Thousand Households Commander Ouyang, Thousand Households Commander Hong and other acquaintances, with a somewhat helpless smile on his face.
This Southern Commandery Investigation Department envoy, a dignified Grandmaster Realm warrior, was actually squeezed in by a group of civil servants. He obviously did not expect that the Ministry of Revenue officials would be so enthusiastic.
I really underestimated the enthusiasm of these literati.
Kind regards for Su Fei.
Zhang Xiongfei waved his hand with a sincere tone.
"Thousand Households Commander Su That's wrong. These five million taels of tax money are not a small amount. If we can't find them back, not only will local military pay and officials' salaries be delayed, but also the grain payments for spring plowing will be affected. I don't know how much trouble will happen."
"Ministry of Revenue These days, I have been asked by His Majesty every day if I can't get the tax money back, if I can get it back from other places. I have been thinking so hard about this that I have lost a lot of my hair."
As he spoke, he pointed at the officials behind him.
"You ask them, which one of them wouldn't dare to go home when it's time to leave for work? Even if you go home, you'll still have trouble falling asleep."
"Now that the tax money has been recovered, we can finally sleep peacefully at Ministry of Revenue."
The director Ministry of Revenue behind him nodded quickly.
"Yes Thousand Households Commander Su, you have helped us a lot. If there is any need for Ministry of Revenue's cooperation in the future, just let us know and we will not hesitate."
Su Fei saw that they were all sincere, so he no longer refused and just smiled.
"Minister Zhang and your lords can rest assured that the tax bank has been properly sealed. Imperial Guard and Ministry of Revenue will count and hand it over later to ensure that every penny is paid."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiongfei's face became even more joyful. He thought for a moment, and under the shocked eyes of his surrounding subordinates, he took out a token and handed it to Su Fei.
"By the way, take this token. If you have anything to do in the future, go to Ministry of Revenue and show this token. I guarantee that no one at Ministry of Revenue will dare to stop you."
