Chapter One(3/4)

It is not difficult for Brother France and Ying to find such a person.

There are many child laborers in the city, most of them are children from families who come here to make a living. If you are lucky, you can find a job to feed your stomach.

Among them, there are the most people like Nancheng.

That's because Nangang is the most prosperous town nearby and the largest pier in the south.

There are many shops and restaurants open there.

Those who look good and smart enough can easily find a restaurant as a hall in Nangang, or find a location in front of a counter in the store.

Working in a restaurant, filling your stomach is the minimum. If you do well, you can sometimes get tips.

As for working in the store, I would be even more lucky.

The skilled clerk is only a short distance away from the shopkeeper.

After working for more than ten years, you can probably be promoted to the second shopkeeper position.

Therefore, these people are lucky among the poor children. They have beautiful longings and yearnings for life, and they should be able to find the new people that Eckert wants among these people.

Thinking of this, Brother France and England decided to leave for Nangang.

Although Nangang is near Lai, it is 70 kilometers away from Lai. It is a long way for ordinary people to travel from Nangang to Lai. It is definitely necessary to prepare luggage and bring enough money.

However, for top gold fingers like France and Britain, this is completely unnecessary.

Brother Faying walked out of the city gate and walked slowly along the road to Nangang. He was waiting for the post station carriage leading to Nangang.

Nangang is a large wharf, and countless in-site carriages come there every day.

As long as you move quickly and climb onto the luggage rack behind the post station carriage while people are not paying attention, the luggage rack full of luggage blocks all the sight of the coachman and will not be discovered at all.

This way you can easily take the ride to Nangang.

It is indeed a busy route from Lai'er to Nangang.

Not long after, Brother Faying heard the sound of wheels crushing the road and the sound of horse hooves in a neat rhythm from afar behind him.

Brother France and Ying dodged behind the big tree on the side of the road.

The post station coachman doesn't like these minors who are strolling on the road alone.

Because every post station carriage driver knows that these kids are probably guys who want to ride a ride.

For them, these coachmen will definitely add twelve copies of attention.

Brother Faying knew the trick, and he hid behind the big tree waiting for the carriage to pass by.

When the carriage passed by the big tree, Brother Faying quickly jumped onto the post station carriage.

Brother France and Ying were comfortable enjoying the running of the carriage.

The trees that swept back quickly on both sides rushed towards the face with strong winds, and the occasional bumps or two due to uneven roads.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fear that the coachman would notice it, Brother Faying really wanted to shout twice.

Brother Faying once thought that he would also get a post station carriage in the future.

If you take the golden route from Sessburg to Nangang, you can earn about four or five silver coins every day after spending, then you will be able to earn 1,800 silver coins a year, which is equivalent to 180 gold coins. In this way, you can earn back the money from the carriage after five or six years.

If well maintained, a carriage can last for about ten years.

As long as you think about earning nearly 200 gold coins every year, Brother France and Ying were very excited.

However, Brother Faying knew that this was just his wishful thinking. A carriage costs seven or eight hundred gold coins, which was not something he could afford.

Brother France and Ying never thought about his hunting animals.

That was quite stupid. Brother Faying knew the old man well and knew every theft that happened on the street, and even knew how much money the owner lost.

It might be okay to greed for one or two gold coins from it, but if there are too many, it won’t work.

Brother Faying has never seen it several times. The minimum punishment for the old man to deal with those unruly gold fingers is to cut his fingers.

As for those who dare to resist or even escape, the bottom of the big river to the east is the final destination of these people.

No one can hide it from the old man, nor can anyone escape the pursuit order issued by his boss.

There is a person under the boss who scares everyone.

As soon as I think of Kelle, even a bold and arrogant guy like Brother France and Ying couldn't help but tremble all over.

That Kelle can be said to be the strongest assassin in the Kingdom of Francis, and no one can escape his pursuit.

This is also the reason why the boss was able to sit in this position for thirty years. It is also the lord of the United Trade Union of Nangang and the lord of Serthburgh. Even though he knew that the nest of the thief trade union with a wide range of most of the southern part was in Laire, which was not the largest or smallest southern town, but never launched a large-scale clearance operation.

They didn't want to lose their lives in their sleep for no reason.

Moreover, no thief union in the country has ever gained a foothold in the south, and this is also due to Kelle.

Therefore, any act of cheating the boss and the old man seems so stupid.

Perhaps the only way to raise such money without breaking the rules is to wait until the nest is separated and go out independently.

But after the nest is divided, there are many other problems waiting for me. Maybe the situation will be more difficult than it is now.

On the way to Nangang, Brother France and Ying were always thinking about it.

But he did not forget his mission.

When the post station carriage was about to enter Nangang, Brother Faying quietly jumped off the carriage, and the next kilometer was used to move his stiff limbs.

Brother France and Ying walked along the post station road towards Nangang.

Nangang is a big city that is ten times larger than Lai.

At the same time, Nangang is also an emerging city with a very short history.

Like all emerging cities, Nangang is full of vitality and is inevitably a little messy.

Looking down from the hillside, Nangang lined a meniscus arc along the coastline. The branches of the road were far less neat than Lai, let alone compared to the rigorous Serthburgh.

There are more than a dozen piers of large and small on the curved coastline, and countless ships are anchored on the pier waiting to load and unload cargo.

Countless workers are busy on the dock.

Spacious warehouses are built everywhere near the dock.

Workers pushed carts in and out, and the goods that were about to be loaded were piled up on the dock.

The ore and timber transported to Xibai, the cloth and cereal transported to Yile were all piled on the crowded docks.

And what was unloaded from those ships were the famous horses of Xibai and the barrels of fine wine, as well as the beautiful silks, blankets, and various glasswares brought by Yi Lei.

I heard from the old man that, besides glassware, the silk and blankets were transported from farther places.

The merchant of the Yilei Kingdom who runs these things is the richest man he has ever heard of.

Brother Faying was so envious that he looked at the gorgeous and luxurious things, the silk blanket wrapped in thick linen and bundled with bundles, and the workers carefully carried the glassware they put down in a solid wooden box. Brother Faying was so envious.

Each of those things was more than two or three times as good as the carriage he had dreamed of.

However, despite his saliva, Brother Faying knew that it was something he could not touch.

Even a person with great power like the head has never had the idea of ​​making these things.

Even if these things are successfully stole, they cannot be sold.

No businessman would be willing to acquire such expensive goods of unknown origin. They dare not offend the United Trade Union, which specializes in operating these goods, which is not worth the loss.

Stealing these valuable commodities will also greatly anger the Nangang United Trade Union, which is the only thing they cannot tolerate. The leader does not want to make his relationship with Nangang so stiff.

For the thief union, the prosperous Southport is the guarantee for them to live better.

Brother France and Ying turned his attention to those bustling streets.

That is what attracted him the most to Nangang.

There are a lot of rich people in Nangang, and their wallets are always so plump.

There is no nest in Nangang. Since the foreman was captured by the security team formed by the United Trade Union and died, no one has established nests in Nangang again.

The security team in Nangang is very powerful, all wearing plain clothes. I heard that if they catch the thief, they will be able to get one-fifth of the lost items from the owner. Therefore, the security team members in Nangang are very happy to capture the thief to prison.

For the thief, the prison in Nangang is directly connected to the sacred cradle.

The prisons in Nangang are not used to detain thieves. They live in bankrupt businessmen, debt-owed debtors, and illegal merchants who are chaotic about Nangang trade.

There are no places where thieves, hooligans, and liars live.

Brother Faying secretly warned himself that it would be better to be careful.

When you walk into Nangang, Nangang is different from Lai. It is an open city, without towering walls and wide gates like Lai.

The perimeter of Nangang is the poorest place.

Simple bungalows are where dock workers live, which is really a little better than cells and slums.

There are no planned drainage facilities in Nangang, so muddy streets and stinky dirty water puddles are often seen here.

Pass through the periphery of Nangang and come to the bustling streets.

This is a completely different world. The streets are filled with various shops, and various luxurious signs can be seen everywhere.

In Lai, even the most upscale shops can at most hang an exquisite blanket at the door to decorate the storefront, which is quite considerate.

But in Nangang, blankets and silk door curtains can be seen everywhere. Most of the signs are hollowed-out copper plaques or exquisite and elegant lacquer archways.

There are even two large vases of one person tall at the doors of several of the most luxurious shops, which are works of art from faraway places brought from Yi Lei.

As for the storefronts decorated with peacock tail feathers and pheasant feathers that Brother France and England had never seen before, it is already extremely shabby in this place.

Walking on this dazzling and bustling street, Brother Faying felt that he had become a rich man.

He stared at the pedestrians coming and going.
