When the Cao Gang convoy arrived outside the Iron Clothes Department, Yang Ling stepped forward before Wen Xiaoba could speak.
"I am Yang Ling, head of the Public Security Division First Branch of the Changhe Prefecture Iron Clothes Department."
"Carry these goods into the Public Security Division courtyard."
Yang Ling glanced over the shipment. Two crates were tightly sealed, with sealing strips and wax seals to ensure no one opened them along the way.
The Cao Gang expert leading the convoy was a Seventh Rank. He paused at those words, then verified Yang Ling's identity as a branch head according to procedure before having the goods carried into the courtyard.
"Master Yang, please inspect the goods first, as the rules require. Once you've checked them, just stamp the receipt for us."
With that, he led his men a dozen or so paces back, keeping a respectful distance.
"Xiaoba, go prepare some tea."
Yang Ling gave the order to Wen Xiaoba, whose face was full of curiosity.
Wen Xiaoba immediately scurried off to prepare tea.
Only then did Yang Ling open the two crates.
One contained two hundred exquisite wooden boxes.
Each wooden box held twenty Spirit Nurturing Pills.
"Wasn't the plan to deliver the Spirit Nurturing Pills to the Chu Family Medicine Store first, and then have... oh, Chu Huatian was worried about causing trouble for the Chu Family Medicine Store."
Yang Ling smiled and shook his head. He picked out a few boxes at random and opened them to check. After confirming everything was correct, he inspected the Hundred Refined Red Gold Flying Daggers.
He gave them a rough glance. The quantity looked about right; there had to be five thousand.
"The goods are all in order."
Yang Ling took out his official seal and stamped the delivery receipt
