(Everyone, it's the last day, let's vote if you have a vote!) ）

Near the sea, the sea breeze blows all the time, making the temperature even lower in winter.

Liu Kui has been coming to Tongquan Mansion for more than half a month, and at this moment he is sitting in the courtyard surrounded by a fence, eating a pot of wine and a few dishes on the table.

In Tongquan Mansion, there are many abandoned farmhouse yards, and it is clear that the head of the household is hiding from the Japanese invaders.

So this is cheap Liu Kui, and he set this place as a temporary headquarters.

After learning the news of the Japanese invasion, Liu Kui felt a sense of urgency in his heart, if he could not complete the mission within this time, then his mission would likely be judged a failure.

Before the end of the year, they were definitely going to return to the capital, so there was not much time left for Liu Kui.

Thinking of this, although there was wine and food, Liu Kui had no appetite.

The task arranged by Chen Xiaoting this time was to find out the conclusive evidence of the three maritime merchants.

Only when the evidence is conclusive will they dare to attack these maritime merchants.

If you start to arrest people rashly, it is very likely that you will be resisted by the wealthy people in Jiangnan, and it will cause great trouble when the time comes.

Therefore, Chen Xiaoting simply gave up efficiency, but also to ensure that the errand was done properly, and required that there must be conclusive evidence, so that everyone could not say anything accusatory.

Just when Liu Kui was worried, he saw someone rushing from outside the courtyard.

"My lord, there's a situation on the docks!" Someone came and said.

Hearing this, Liu Kui put away his sorrowful face, turned around and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

The captain who made the announcement said: "These days, the Japanese have landed on the shore, and all the freight at the wharf has stopped, but a cargo ship has just arrived!" ”

This is indeed very abnormal, and it also proves from the side that these three major maritime merchants have colluded with the Japanese invaders, because they are not worried about being robbed by the Japanese at all.

"Our men have already rushed to the front, but the dock has been surrounded by the domestic slaves of the maritime merchants, so we can only watch from the outside!"

After the sea trade stopped, the captains scattered on the dock were all called back by Liu Kui.

"Let's go, let's see!" Liu Kui said in a deep voice.

At this time, he was still transporting things from the sea, and he wanted to see what was being sent!

So Liu Kui took a few people and rushed to the direction where the dock was located.

It was almost evening, and there were people on the dock carrying things inside and out, and there were people with sticks and sticks around them.

These people were all the house slaves of the three major maritime merchants, and in the middle of the dock, there were three old men who glanced at the people working on the scene.

All three were over fifty years old, and although they were all simple round-necked robes, they did not diminish the majesty of their faces in the slightest.

That's right, it's majesty, a kind of majesty that can only be cultivated by staying at the top for a long time.

At this time, a man in a strong suit rushed over and said very carefully: "The villain greets the three masters!" ”

"What's going on? Why did it take so long to arrive? The old man asked sharply.

This scared the man who reported the situation half to death, and the three people in front of him controlled the entire dock, and they were about to get angry and throw him into the sea, but no one cared.

"Master Zhou, this ...... Sailing on the sea, the villain can only try to grasp the itinerary and arrive in advance...... The villain was also surprised! The man in the suit argued.

The old man who asked the question was surnamed Zhou Yuanyi, and he was the head of the Zhou family, the largest of the three major maritime merchant families, and he could be said to be the emperor on this dock.

The two on his side were Liu Pinyan, the head of the Liu family, and Wei Xinghai, the head of the Wei family.

Now is the time to employ people, and it is impossible for them to really slaughter this man in a strong suit, so Liu Pinyan persuaded: "Brother Zhou, keep this person's dog life first, and give him another chance!" ”

Zhou Yuanyi didn't speak, but swept his gaze to Wei Xinghai, who nodded slightly.

"Get out!" Zhou Yuanyi scolded.

It can also be seen from this that human life is really like mustard in their eyes.

After the man in the suit left, Zhou Yuanyi explained to the two old brothers: "Two, the old man is not harsh on him, he has already warned him to stay on the shore at night, but now it is not dawn!" ”

Liu Pinyan patted Zhou Yuanyi's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "We know this, and you are also for the safety of these goods!" ”

Zhou Yuanyi's face was still serious, and he said: "This thing is really not a joke, you have to lose your head!" ”

The scene was very quiet, and all of them knew in their hearts that they were doing a headless business.

It's just that after so many years, the business has become bigger and bigger, and I have forgotten about losing my head.

After being quiet for a while, Wei Xinghai, who had not spoken, spoke: "Now that the Japanese have come ashore, they have attracted all the energy of the government, and it is safe to come to the dock!" ”

Liu Pinyan thought so, and just when he was about to persuade Zhou Yuanyi to be relieved, he listened to Zhou Yuan: "Two, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong......

"You still don't understand? What we are doing is a matter of losing our heads, and it is related to the lives of hundreds of people in our three families! ”

After hearing Zhou Yuanyi's words, Liu Pinyan's prepared words were all blocked in his mouth.

In the end, he said: "What Brother Zhou said is extremely true, it is the two of us who are careless!" ”

Their arguments stopped, and all the boxes on the ship were unloaded and were being moved to the dock where they were waiting.

There were twenty wagons, each with three large chests, for a total of sixty chests.

After the loading was completed, Zhou Liuwei and the others did not order to leave immediately, but waited for darkness.

Only when these things are put back in their warehouses will they feel at ease and must wait until it gets dark to move them home.

On the roadside tree not far from the wharf, Liu Kui's people had already arrived, and they were also waiting for the wharf to deliver things.

When the bright moon was rising, a lieutenant finally came over from the night and said to Liu Kui: "My lord, they are here!" ”

Liu Kui nodded, and motioned to everyone to hide, they must not make the slightest sound.

The carriage came slowly, and then in the moonlight they could see the boxes being transported.

But they didn't know what was in the box, so they could only find a way to find out.

Liu Kui was thinking about how to investigate, but he heard a "bang" sound on the road, and then there was a sound of metal colliding.

It turned out that the wheels of the carriage were running over the protruding stones on the road, causing the whole carriage to jump.

But this was all a matter of one breath, and it did not attract attention in the horse team, and they passed in front of Liu Kui and the others in this way.

After the horse team left, Liu Kui already had an idea in his heart.

Recalling Fang Cai's voice, coupled with years of experience as an errand boy, Liu Kui speculated that these people should be transporting weapons.

Chen Xiaoting wants to conclusive evidence, so are these things conclusive evidence?

The answer is self-evident, Liu Kui found an opportunity to break through, which made him extremely excited at the moment.

"You say, what's in those boxes?" Liu Kui asked his lieutenants.

At this time, a lieutenant replied the word "weapon", which made Liu Kui more determined in his thoughts, so he directly decided to take action.

"Send our people to follow, closely monitor the three families of Zhou, Liu and Wei, and report any changes immediately!"

After his order, the captains left to do their work, while Liu Kui took the rest of the people back to the small courtyard of the farmhouse.

Next, he had to report the situation of Tongquan Mansion to Chen Xiaoting, and how to deal with it was left to Chen Xiaoting to decide.
