The ritual of worshipping the river god is nearing its end.

While most of the people were still sitting quietly at the water's edge, closing their eyes and resting, and bowing sincerely and praying, the three of them quietly exited, and then, along a path by the pier, continued their expedition to the Cao Gang tonight.

After leaning around, after bypassing a quiet white wall and black tiles, I only heard a cold arrow-like sneer coming from behind a hollow flower wall:

"Humph! We've always done that, if you don't want to do it, take the money and leave early! Today, I will give you more wages, but you must learn to shut up when you take the money, otherwise you will not blame me for not remembering the old feelings. ”

This is very strange! What is there in the Cao Gang to hurry to seal people's mouths?

The three of them were all curious, and tacitly leaned down to the edge of the hollow window of the flower wall, silently observing in secret.

I saw a big bearded man kneeling on the ground, wearing the most common and ordinary short sweatshirt of the Cao Gang, with his head down, he couldn't see his eyebrows clearly, but listening to his voice that he tried to suppress seemed to be suppressing his anger, he said:

"I'm also a veteran helmsman who has been running for ten years, why did I feel that the draft of this trip was wrong when I boarded the ship this time! When I entered the nine-bend and eighteen-bend of the Jiuqu River, I reached the shallow water, and almost the whole fleet ran aground in the shallow bay! You say, what are you rudder doing here? ”

The man who was standing saw that the threat and intimidation just now did not work, so he softened his tone, but it was still not salty or light, and said with a smile:

"You are a small captain of the fleet, and you are not even the master of the rudder, so I advise you not to ask so much. Knowing too much won't do you any good. The chief helmsman told you to do it, can't you just do it? And you won't lose your monthly money! Now, then, go with me to the bookkeeper, and I will pay you twice the wages, and we will treat it as if no one knows about it. ”

Does this sound like a spat caused by an illegal overload of waterways?

Lu Chengfeng was thinking about it, but he heard the word "account room" from that person's mouth, which was really like rain falling from the sky!

He made a color to Wu Jingmo and Tian Zifang, and the three of them secretly followed behind them.

In a few moments, we arrived in a small courtyard.

The courtyard is still white walls and black tiles, ordinary, nested in a large number of large and small courtyards, even inconspicuous and not special.

It's a good thing they happened to overhear this conversation today, otherwise they wouldn't know when they would have found it by feeling the stones to cross the river?

Today's trip to the Cao Gang seems to be quite smooth! first met Tian Zifang in Jiuxianju, and then met the two who secretly led the way for them without knowing it.

It's really "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village"!

The three of them hid outside the account room, broke the window paper, and tiptoed to the window to watch.

I saw that in the account room, there were several rows of wooden shelves placed side by side, and the account books of various colors on the wooden shelves were full and neat.

Wow, this is a library! Lu Chengfeng exclaimed in his heart.

The man who was standing just now did not touch the account book on the shelf at all, but took out a large set of keys in his arms, searched for a long time, and from the large string, he took out a long key and put it into a keyhole at his feet.

Hey? And the secret room? Could it be that there is a treasure cabinet in this accounting room?

But when he turned slightly, the mechanism under his feet had been opened, and a small cabinet of one foot square was raised from under the ground he had just stepped on.

The man took out a small key and inserted it into the keyhole of the small cabinet, and with a flick of it, the door of the cabinet opened, revealing a cabinet full of gold and silver ingots!

Yes! What a multi-treasure! Come to the arms of the master! As soon as Lu Chengfeng saw the yellow and white things in the cabinet, his eyes burst with excitement.

Oh my God, I'm going to get rich again today! Look at the bunch of keys he has in his hand, how many of these little cabinets must be in this place! The small cabinet is full of wealth!

Master, I'm really a treasure hunter, a super boy with a treasure plug-in!

Lu Chengfeng was thinking about it, but was suddenly interrupted by the sneering man:

"You take these two ingots of silver, and you will have the confidence to go to where to make a living in the future! You shouldn't know about today's events, and you shouldn't have told me about it outside! If it weren't for me, for the sake of our fellow villagers, I would still be willing to pretend to be deaf and dumb and leave you a way to live. Otherwise, your little life is over! ”

The bearded man's thick and rugged voice was gradually trembling, and he said:

"Mr. Fan, you can think of the friendship of your fellow countrymen, and you will be grateful in your heart. However, Cao Yun is carrying the rations of my Dajing army and civilians, why are you doing this? Why! ”

After saying that, he swung his iron fist and smashed the bookkeeper to the ground.

At the beginning of human beings, their nature is evil, and it is human nature to be greedy for money and lustful. Could it be that he also fell in love with the abundant wealth in that treasure chest?

Lu Chengfeng's heart was in a hurry, and his eyes were almost embedded in the window.

But he saw that the man did not touch the gold and silver, but turned to the rows of large shelves full of account books behind him, and quickly turned them up one by one.

"Big brother, do you need our help? We are the brethren of the Great Fool! ”

Lu Chengfeng pushed the door in a grand manner, and asked with his head held high.

"You know what I'm looking for? Could it be that we are fellow travelers? ”

The bearded man asked them with a confused expression.

"yes, you want the load record of the fleet you brought in today!"

Lu Chengfeng touched his right eyebrow, and said triumphantly but seriously.

"Looks like a fellow traveller! Come! Come here! Let's find out! More people, find it fast! The man waved at them with great joy.

Lu Chengfeng, Wu Jingmo and Tian Zifang blatantly began to flip through the account books.

The effort of a stick of incense passed quickly.

"How are you guys? Did you find it? The man asked them anxiously, and then glanced at the dead bookkeeper on the ground, and said, "We have to hurry, for I am afraid that he will wake up again in a moment!" ”

The three of them sped up the speed of searching and flipping through, and they were even more anxious than this bearded man, because they still had to fake the public and private interests to find the clues they wanted about the black market transactions of plantain.

"Found it! On the twentieth day of the lunar month, that is, the day before the case, the Jiangfu of Nanshi Street sold six catties and eight dollars of Nanli's specialty and precious Chinese herb plantain. ”

Lu Chengfeng was ecstatic and blurted out, completely forgetting that they were pretending to help the man.

"What are you looking for? No, what did you just say? The bearded man was already suspicious of the three of them, and he grabbed two fists and slowly approached them.

Tian Zifang's iron fist was also ready, and the knuckles of his fingers were already clattering.
