The two guys of Longyi Firm were originally frightened by Steward Zhou, and they were already a little timid, but after listening to Yu Yongkai's words, the two of them showed joy instead.

After so many months, who doesn't know that the people who serve as soldiers and workers in the Hexi Inspection Department are well paid, and they still wish that Steward Zhou would fire them.

"Back to the inspection, in addition to these people on the ship before, there was another red-faced man on the ship, but now there is no him here."

Yu Yongkai was a little interested, "You don't know this person?" ”

"I don't know", including Steward Zhou, everyone shook their heads in unison.

"That's strange, there are so many people on the ship, since you don't know each other, no one is suspicious?"

"There was another short man besides him, and every time I saw the two of them chatting there, I thought they were both on the boat."

Yu Yongkai laughed silently.

Interesting, the second brother often said that "when things go wrong, there must be demons", doesn't it confirm the current situation.

"Someone who has seen those two people has come forward and described their appearance and characteristics, Jing Liang, Wang Steward, let's go to your ship and have a look."

"Yes", Steward Wang of Fuhua Firm was gloating, and was suddenly called by Yu Yongkai, he hurriedly walked forward to lead the way.

"Yu Inspection", Steward Zhou stepped forward and asked with a sneer: "Then will I be fine here?"

"It's not fine, let's wait until everything is found out here."

"That's right", Yu Yongkai took a few steps and remembered one thing, "What kind of goods are you carrying on this ship, and how much is it worth?" ”

"Well, this ......", Steward Zhou looked at the person in Fuhua Firm, with a look of hard expression.

Yu Yongkai immediately understood, walked back a few steps and pulled Steward Zhou to the corner.

"Yu Inspection, if other officials ask about this, I don't dare to tell the truth, that is, you are a believer in Yu Inspection, let me tell you, my three ships are loaded with silk and medicinal materials transported from Baoning Mansion to Chongqing Mansion, which are worth about six or seven thousand taels."

"Thank you Brother Zhou for watching it, let's go back and get back together", Yu Yongkai heard this data, and he patted Steward Zhou on the shoulder, beckoned Zhang Jingliang and the others to get off the ship, leaving only a few soldiers of the Longxiang Regiment to record on the deck.

The ship of the Fuhua Firm was much easier to inspect, and as Yongkai and Zhang Jingliang expected, several traces of vandalism were found on the mast that had become broken.

Yu Yongkai gathered all the people on the boat to inquire as he did just now, and sure enough, he found that not long after he passed Fucheng, two people were always looking for excuses to go in the direction of the mast, and now they couldn't find anyone.

Zhang Jingliang tightened his cloak, walked to the side with Yu Yongkai and asked, "Brother Kai, what should we do?" ”

"Even a few ships have been hacked, obviously it's not as simple as a coincidence, didn't the second brother say that all possibilities will be ruled out, and the rest will be the truth of the matter even if it is incredible."

"Brother", Yu Yongkai put his right hand around Zhang Jingliang's neck and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Now that the situation is clear, someone wants to beat our idea." ”

"But what is this plot, planting blame? As long as we don't move them, it's useless, and besides, the businesses passing by know our rules, and without conclusive evidence, everyone won't necessarily believe it. ”

Zhang Jingliang was confused, he couldn't figure out what these people were thinking in secret, this boat was not from Liujia Village, and there was nothing major wrong, and it could continue to be used for tinkering, was it just for pranks?

Yu Yongkai laughed, "These ships docked at our dock are worth tens of thousands of taels of goods alone, and you heard just now, these businesses are carrying goods such as silk and medicinal herbs that are convenient to sell, if you are a strong man, will you be tempted." ”

"Into the fuck", Zhang Jingliang slapped him hard, "If the tiger doesn't show its might, it's really when we are sick cats, so what should we do, do you want to send someone to report to the second brother?" ”

"The report is to be reported, you find three people to go back to report the news in three ways, just tell the second brother the truth, how to decide to listen to the second brother, and now I don't know if the thief is attacking the west, let's not mislead the second brother."

"Besides, has Hong Erzhu woken up?"

"You should wake up, I'll find someone to call him to go", Zhang Jingliang immediately walked towards the inspection compound.

Yu Yongkai grabbed him, "You go and arrange for someone to go back to the village to report the news, and I'll go find Erzhu." ”

Hong Erzhu had been promoted a lot by Liu Ximing in Hou Liangzhu's camp before, and now he has been promoted to a sentry officer.

Because there has been nothing in the army recently, he often comes to Yu Yongkai to walk around and contact feelings, and yesterday was another drunken drunk.

When Yu Yongkai walked into Hong Erzhu's house, he found that he had already woken up, but his head was still a little dizzy.

Yu Yongkai knew that now was not the time to be polite, so he ordered someone to bring a basin of hot water, let Hong Erzhu wash his face and wake up, and told him everything he had discovered.

"Erzhu, although I don't know how many thieves there are at the moment, but since I dare to come to make an idea, I must be sure, the second brother is more than sixty miles away from us, and he can't rush to come in a hurry, but Fucheng is only twenty miles here, please go back to report to the guerrillas, if you see the fire here, bother him to send troops to rescue."

"Brother Kai, don't worry, I'll hurry back and report it", Hong Erzhu staggered a little and stood up, patted his chest and walked out, Yu Yongkai hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a horse for him and send him across the river.

At the same time, the atmosphere in Hexi Town has also become solemn, although Yu Yongkai has agreed with Zhang Jingliang not to startle the snake first, only let the Longxiang regiment secretly guard, and at the same time transfer the army on the dock back, but the feeling of mountain rain is still slowly emanating from the closed gate of the Inspection Division.

At the same time, on a small hillside west of Hexi Town, the red-faced man who had appeared on the Longyi business before was walking towards the mountain with a dozen or so people.

"Master Meng, look!"

A man walking behind looked back, and saw three fast horses running out of Hexi Town heading north, and he hurriedly greeted the red-faced man.

The others also stopped and followed his fingers.

"It's a messenger!"

"Damn, how did they find out?"

The red-faced man who was called Mengye roared angrily, and his tone was full of disbelief.

This is no wonder that he was surprised, they stepped on it in advance, knowing that there have been more merchant ships coming and going in Hexi Town recently, and it is normal for merchant ships to dock temporarily for business.

Moreover, for the sake of caution, they also specially created different things to force these specially selected fat sheep to dock in Hexi Town, which ordinary people would not be able to find.

This Hexi Inspection Department has just been established, and the Liu family has no officialdom background, although Hexi Town has begun to become prosperous under the governance of this surname Yu, but this fierce master does not believe that they can do everything in their entirety, and any problem can be found.

It is said that there is nothing wrong with his idea, if it were a different Meng Dynasty, it might really be like what he thought, but who told him to run into such a freak as Liu Ximing.

Liu Ximing has always instilled the idea of Yu Yongkai and others to rely on institutionalization and procedural management, rather than relying on people's ability and consciousness.

Therefore, the first thing Yu Yongkai considered when he arrived in Hexi Town was how to establish rules and regulations here, and in a few months, normative documents such as the town's inspection system and merchant ship registration system were issued one after another.

Today, these merchant ships are temporarily docked at the dock for various reasons, and if you look at them alone, of course there will be no problem, but as soon as they are summed up, Zhang Jingliang can see the clues.

In the past, there were accidents on ships that needed to be temporarily docked for repairs, but where did you come across several ships at once like today?

"Master Meng, maybe the people in Bailong Village leaked the news, but we didn't show any horses."

The short man who had partnered with the fierce master before immediately answered.

Meng Ye suddenly realized and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, what does this matter have to do with us, when the old man asked, you said I don't know, do you understand?" ”

"Got it!" , a few people sparsely replied.

One of them was more responsible, and he asked with a worried face: "What if they went to report something bad?" ”

"Hmph, Liujia Village is sixty or seventy miles away from here, even if you fly, you have to fly for a while, and when they come over, this place will already be a white land, what trouble can there be."

"That's right", the fierce man was strengthened by the short man's words, "Don't worry about the rest, let's go back and report it quickly." ”
