At the same time that Lu Jingyuan began to wake up on the dock, in the dark ship moored by the dock, A-Yao, who followed Lu Ping down the cabin, was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

Although this ship looks inconspicuous from the outside, it has a hole inside. The cabin is □□, and the whole cabin is completely open except for the place where the boatman rows. And at this moment, this boxy, slightly dark space is full of pieces of black charcoal that emits a shiny shine.

"So much?"

Since Shen Jinshan threatened with black charcoal, so that the silkworm farmers who had signed the contract with the Hu family had no choice but to break the contract, Ayao has attached great importance to this matter.

Nominally, she is Mrs. Mo's apprentice, and Mrs. Mo is proficient in mathematics, and Mo Daru also dabbled in this when she taught her class, and A-Yao had specifically consulted on this matter. Turning over the Hu family's silk dossier over the years, the master and apprentice started and calculated the approximate amount of black charcoal to be used to survive this inverted spring cold.

At that time, A-Yao was trying to calculate, but after the results were calculated, she found that the ship moored at the dock by the Shen family would not be able to survive this cold spring even if it was fully loaded. Surprised, she told Daddy the news, but was poured cold water. Daddy sighed and told her that the Shen family was now not in control of the coal ship, but the coal transportation route of the entire state capital.

At that time, she was puzzled, and asked if she could ask Pan Zhizhou for help. Daddy explained to her in detail the difference between Zhizhou and Tongzhi, Pan Zhizhou is nominally the supreme governor of the state, but the specific waterway is under the control of Wu Tongzhi. No matter how big the official is, the county official is not as good as the current management.

After explaining, Daddy told her not to worry, saying that he had his own way to make up for the loss. But A-Yao still thought of other places, in his previous life, Daddy died on the road, and none of the Hu family who went out with him didn't even come back. It stands to reason that it should be easy to find clues in such a big case, but she has not moved for a long time after she reported to the police.

The waterways in Benzhou are developed, Wu Tongzhi is in charge of the waterways, and he happens to be good friends with the Shen family, will there be anything to do with this......

Since she was just reborn, she A-Yao had a doubt, Shen Moci was just a girl one or two years older than her, no matter how great her ability was, it was impossible to break through the layers of defenses around Daddy and kill her, even if the Shen family was added, it was impossible for no one in the Hu family caravan to come back alive, there must be another mystery in this. Again, she is no longer the innocent girl she was thirteen years old in her previous life, although there is no solid evidence, but she already has a score in her heart.

And by chance, she felt as if she had found the right direction.

Perhaps the death of Daddy in her previous life and the fall of the Hu family were more complicated than she imagined.

These thoughts rose in her heart, and then she could no longer suppress them. But this time she wasn't as flustered as she was when she was first reborn, she couldn't eat a fat person in one bite, and some things had to be done slowly.

Putting these thoughts in the bottom of her heart and looking at the black charcoal in front of her, A-Yao couldn't help but be excited in her heart.

"With these black charcoals, this spring cold can be overcome."

Looking at her curved eyes, Lu Ping's voice also softened: "Master Hou also said so." ”

"Brother Jing?"

Lu Ping nodded, although he had a good impression of Ah Yao because he could accurately identify his overly mediocre face, but what he admired most in his heart was his own outstanding Hou Ye.

After he was sent by the little marquis to be a secret guard next to the Hu family girl, Master Kukai secretly called him to help the little marquis speak a few words in the ears of the Hu family girl.

He didn't understand when the master spoke, but then he thought about it carefully. The little marquis sent him, the most powerful secret guard, to the Hu family girl, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious. And what about the Hu girl? Although the appearance is not glamorous, it is better than the eyebrows and eyes; In terms of talent and learning, she is not as good as the girls from those official eunuchs in Beijing, but she is simple-minded and does not have so many calculations; Most importantly, she has an approachable personality and is comfortable to get along with.

All in all, Lu Ping thinks that the Hu family girl is very good.

has been with Xiao Hou Ye for ten years, and he can be regarded as understanding Hou Ye's personality when he asks himself. Those dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing like to marry, and strong alliances make the relationship between each other more stable, and then help each other in the court, which is also a way to maintain interests. But what is the origin of the little marquis? With his uncle behind as a backer, he needs this kind of embellishment?

Regardless of his background, with the temperament of the little marquis, he has always been disdainful of people who don't like his eyes. really let him marry an unfamiliar noble lady as a helper, without the need for others, he himself has to lift the top of the happy hall first.

Thinking about it like this, he also came back to his senses, since he was a child, he brought the eldest marquis, and Master Kukai knew more about his temper, so he must have thought of this. Obviously, the little marquis looks at the Hu family girl well, and the Hu family girl herself is a good girl, so he simply matched the two together. Left and right, he looked at the Hu family girl pleasing to the eye, and was naturally happy to see it happen.

He immediately started from the very beginning, how the little marquis found the place where the state capital put charcoal, then how to open up the internal joints, how to mix the stones into the charcoal unconsciously, and finally how to take the time to transfer ships and personally supervise the matter at such a busy time when the military salary banquet was recruited, and the whole process was clearly explained.

Unlike Qingshuang, Lu Ping is a strictly trained secret guard, and he knows everything that he can and can't say. Even though he really wanted to tell all the thoughts that the little marquis had spent since he first met Dongshan, no, since he first came to Qingcheng and was ordered to supervise, he still held back in the end.

But even if you don't talk about those, only the black charcoal in front of you is the most enough for Ah Yao.

Real actions are always more touching than sweet words, hearing that Brother Jing worked so hard, he rushed to the state capital before the military salary banquet, personally disguised himself and mixed into the soldiers guarding the black charcoal to figure out the shape, and when loading the ship at the dock, he took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to fascinate everyone on the Shen family's ship, and then used superb light skills to mix the stone with black charcoal.

"Carrying so much charcoal, how sore his arms are."

Lu Ping's face stiffened, and in order to highlight the courage of the little marquis, he exaggerated it appropriately. But now...... It seems to have been bragged.

"Fortunately, Master Hou is strong in martial arts." The words have been spoken, and there is no reason to take them back. Although the actual situation was that the little marquis had forged a similar ship, he unknowingly switched the two ships, and then moved the top layer of charcoal to the stones of that ship. No matter how much or how little he moves, Hou Ye will always move, and he is not lying.

"No matter how strong the martial arts are, they will be tired, and Brother Jing is not iron-clad."

Looking at the black charcoal in front of her, A-Yao fell into a deep sense of guilt.

"The Hu family can't lack the best raw silk, and if you can't complete the tribute task, it is a big crime to kill your head. Although Daddy has an agreement with Shen Jinshan, who guarantees that villains such as the Shen family will not go back on their word when the time comes. It is the safest way to grasp the black charcoal and take the raw silk deed book over. ”

The coal transportation route is in the hands of the Shen family, and the Hu family really has no choice. She could vaguely guess Daddy's method, but she used her uncle's hypocrisy to suddenly cut off the Shen family's supply of silkworm leaves. At that time, when the Shen family signed the contract with the silkworm farmers, they promised that they would cover all the mulberry silkworm leaves and black charcoal, and now one less item will naturally be considered a loss to the Shen family, so the Shen family will have to give in.

This method sounds feasible at first glance, but there are still hidden dangers in practice. Shen Jinshan's side can completely break the net, which directly makes this season's silkworm grains no harvest. At that time, the Shen family will only lose one season's harvest, and the Hu family, as an imperial merchant, will not be able to pay tribute.

Qingcheng Silk City is the strongest in Hu and Shen, and the Hu family has fallen and the Shen family has benefited the most. With the Shen family's style of acting, it is entirely possible to do so.

Maybe Daddy can maneuver through it, but in short, it's very risky.

And now seeing this cabin full of black charcoal, she finally took a reassuring pill.

"Brother Jing solved my Hu family's urgent need, but I misunderstood him like that before."

Thinking of this, she grabbed the drifting sea in frustration.

"Little ......" was face to face with her, facing the hatch, and Lu Ping happened to see the little marquis at the entrance of the cabin. As soon as the first word was shouted halfway, the other party glared at him, and he was silent in an instant.

Ah Yao, who was in a state of chagrin, didn't realize this, she only felt how could she be like that.

"Brother Jing is so good to me, he helped me deal with Shen Moci when we met for the first time, and then Shen Moci came to the door and helped me find Master Kukai, he caught me at the apprenticeship ceremony and didn't make me make a fool of myself, and then he took me to the mulberry forest to see through Shen Moci and Song Qinwen's scheme, and this time...... He even saved the Hu family. ”

Counting Brother Jing's kindness to her one by one, she may not feel the daily bits and pieces, but when these are all added together, A-Yao realized that he had helped her so much unconsciously.

"Luckily, yesterday I had already decided to believe him."

Blamed herself too much, she subconsciously found a reason to excuse herself. She didn't decide to believe Brother Jing when she saw this boatload of black charcoal, she already believed in him after the banquet in Yunlailou yesterday.

"Why does Miss Hu believe in Master Hou?"

In A-Yao's self-blame, Lu Ping had already figured out the cause and effect. At this moment, he received a look from the little marquis. This will make him want to pretend that he doesn't understand, but he has already developed a habit of being a master and servant for ten years, and the little marquis subconsciously knows what he wants to do when he looks at him.

"Why believe? Because Brother Jing said, you want me not to think cranky. ”

"You'll listen to what you say?"

Coming down from the cabin entrance along the wooden ladder, Lu Jingyuan gave Lu Ping a look again, the meaning was very clear, hurry up.

Can you cross the river and tear down the bridge like this? Faintly aware of the exciting things that might happen in the future, Lu Ping is now covered in chicken blood, and he is reluctant to go. But when the next eye knife flew in, he still flashed numbly.

"Why should you listen?" Approaching A-Yao step by step, standing in front of her, firmly controlling her in his shadow, Lu Jingyuan's eagle-like gaze caught him: "You like this?" ”

Brother Jing knows!

Surprised, Ah Yao subconsciously raised her head, just as Lu Jingyuan lowered her head and approached, and in an instant, her pink lips brushed his stubble with green beard. A slightly rough feeling came, and she blushed instantly, bowed her head and said nothing.

"I can't help but be rude, I must like it."
