Li Hua'er didn't speak again, but bent down slightly, and walked along the seam to the stern of the boat before straightening up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The stern is a broad, boxy shape with a very delicately carved window.

At this moment, from the window, a ray of sunlight shone into the cabin.

It's getting dawn.

At this time, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the cabin, which disturbed Li Hua'er's mood.

She frowned, touched the lattice, and looked back.

I saw a few sergeants tied up the three boatmen to the second floor.

And the captain who went and returned kicked the three men to the ground according to their knees.

"Otherwise, you will be told how to dismantle this mechanism, and you will be spared the death penalty. Or you're on top of this, waiting for your death. The lieutenant said viciously.

The three boatmen shrank to the ground with their heads bowed, without saying a word, and did not even shout for injustice.

Li Hua'er took advantage of the ray of sunshine to glance at their dead expressions, and then stopped looking at them, but said:

"This military master doesn't need to ask, both horizontal and vertical are going to die, it's better to hide it and not say it, let's find it ourselves, it's best to blow it up, and someone will be buried with them, it's also good."

When Fang Shan heard this, his eyes widened, and he was about to scold the three people.

Li Hua'er preempted him and said, "Two military masters, can there be something like a dagger?" ”

Fang Shan was stunned and said to her, "Yes." ”

With that, he took out a dagger from the side of his boot and handed it to Li Hua'er.

The dagger is black, and the handle and scabbard are not modified at all, which is obviously used in actual combat.

Li Hua'er took the dagger and said, "Please also ask a few military masters to take a few of them out, just leave one person here to help." ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Now the girl will say this, which means that the next thing is dangerous.

Fang Shan spoke first: "You guys go down, just follow her words and tell the general, don't let people get close." ”

Several other people hesitated for a moment, and then arched their hands: "Yes, take care." ”

Hurried downstairs.

……

Li Hua'er first carefully removed the window and threw it aside, then half knelt on the ground, and slowly poked the dagger into it along the seam on the windowsill, looking for it little by little from top to bottom, listening to the sound in her ears.

In her previous life, her father liked to study this kind of small mechanism the most.

Although ordinary people study such things, they will be said to be strange and ingenious, but Guan Er, as a university scholar, loves to study this kind of thing, and is praised by the world: "Elegant." ”

And Miss Guan San in her previous life, as an only daughter, also learned a lot of those skills, and waited for the idle secret room, mechanism, and secret grid, which really couldn't help her.

It's just unthinkable that the things that I used to play in my previous life have become a means to save my life in this life.

And those people were really ruthless, and put gunpowder and oil in the cabin, and once they were discovered, it would be a big deal to blow up.

When the time comes, there will be no traces, just to protect the tribute, who can know what is going on?

And the smell of ambergris naturally covers up the smell of gunpowder and oil.

They don't care about the lives of the shipwrights.

But Li Hua'er cares, if this is really blown up, not to mention herself and Fang Shan in the cabin, even the sergeant on the shore, and the other ships that stop at this ferry, will also be damaged.

The dagger stopped and walked, and it was only after a cup of tea that Li Hua'er probed the mechanism inside.

She took back the dagger and said to Fang Shan: "Captain Fang, can you help me find a bowl of rice vinegar and a bowl of water?" To a large bowl. ”

Right now, Fang Shan didn't dare to come out, he stood stiffly behind his hands and feet and watched for a long time, and when he heard this, he still froze in place and didn't dare to move.

Li Hua'er said it again, and he understood, and hurriedly went to the galley on the ship to find vinegar and water.

Li Hua'er took it and poured rice vinegar into it little by little along the gap.

She poured it very carefully, and when she was done, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

Outside, the sky was getting brighter, and the sound was getting louder and louder on the riverbank outside.

Occasionally, the shouting of the goatee man.

I don't know how many people I am familiar with.

The more she got to this point, the calmer she became.

This mechanism must be dismantled, not only will it blow up and kill the people on the shore, but the gain will outweigh the loss.

After waiting for a while, she gently shook the board.

Sure enough, it loosened.

Li Hua'er took the dagger and probed around again, and carefully lifted the board a little.

There are silk threads wound inside.

She said: "Please also ask Captain Fang to help me hold this board, don't move a bit." ”

Fang Shan nervously knelt in Li Hua'er's place, holding the plank, motionless.

Li Hua'er picked up the bowl of water, poured half of the bowl on top of the white flowers inside, and then carefully placed the bowl in the middle, carefully aligning the position.

When she was done, she was completely relieved and cut the silk thread with a dagger.

The moment the dagger cut the silk thread, a crisp sound was heard.

"Okay, Captain Fang can put it down." Li Hua'er wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then said.

When Fang Shan heard this, his nervous mood relaxed, and he unloaded his strength and was hit on the head by a wooden plank.

Seeing this, Li Hua'er laughed.

Fang Shan rubbed his head, looked at the water bowl, and sighed with some aftermath of the catastrophe: "It turned out to be a flint." ”

And in the dark grid, it was really full of gunpowder and oil, and the thing that Li Hua'er was drenched in was a large ball of cotton wool, presumably for fire.

Fang Shan's cold sweat had already wet the cloth under his armor, he let out a long sigh of relief, and then said angrily: "What a vicious group of people. ”

And Li Hua'er, who had already seen the viciousness of that group of people, was still calm, but asked Fang Shan to find water again, poured it on the gunpowder, and then moved out the jars of fire oil with Fang Shan, carefully sealed them, and then probed the wooden door under it.

When she was sure there was no more mechanism, she opened the door.

Sure enough, it was a small but expanded mezzanine, with many boxes lined up side by side.

Li Hua'er opened the nearest box.

Unexpectedly, it was not Sanqi and other things, but silver.

Li Hua'er was stunned for a moment, and then she understood why the draft of this boat was so strange.

The heaviest thing in sailing is balance, and even if you don't encounter strong winds and waves, you may have to capsize.

The Cai family is a well-known fleet, and listening to Cai Huozi's words before, he is also a person who has done such things as being old, so he will naturally not be so imprudent.

It's weird.

And Fang Shan's probe saw that it was a box of silver, so he picked up an ingot in confusion, turned it over to look at the mark on it, and suddenly changed his face.

"Military salary silver, the military salary silver that has been checking before." He said in a trembling voice.

Li Hua'er was stunned.

It turned out to be part of the 300,000 military salaries that were greedy for ink. (To be continued.) )
