The servants did not dare to offend Du Jing, they were reluctant and unwilling, but under Du Jing's repeated reprimands, they could only go to work, some of them removed the logs on the upper floor, others grabbed the bottom one and pumped it out, and said as they smoked:

"Why is this wood so heavy? Heavy and lumpy like an iron lump. ”

Du Jing sneered twice when he heard this, he looked at Lan Ziyi and said meaningfully:

"How much does an iron lump weigh? The solid wood that Wei Hou transported is much heavier than iron, and if you don't believe it, throw it into the water, and see if he can float. ”

Tao Zhutu saw that the messenger was about to take out the wood, he hurriedly moved forward and wanted to stop it, but was secretly stopped by Lan Ziyi, and after a short time, the messengers finally pulled out the log that Du Jing wanted from under the wood pile. After finishing this work, the errand soldiers sat on the ground with a sore back, and some of the errand soldiers wiped the sweat from their chins and complained to Du Jingdao:

"I said, Lord Qianhu, why did you let us go to great lengths to move this piece of wood••••••

But before the errand finished speaking, his attention was attracted by the wood in front of him, and he was not the only one who was attracted by the wood, and the eyes of the other officials involved in the transportation were all attracted, and they also wanted Du Jing to crawl on the ground like just now, carefully rubbing the wood by the light, and some people beat it with their knuckles, and there was a humane:

"This wood looks like someone has cut it open."

Another nodding person chimed in:

"Yes, you look at the marks on this cut, it is obvious that someone sawed it through the middle and glued it to a piece, I just said why is this wood so heavy, is there something stuffed in it?"

Saying that, the officers looked at Du Jing. Du Jing smiled with satisfaction when he saw the messenger, and he said:

"What do you want me to do? Can I tell if something is stuffed or not? If you want to know, just open it and watch it. ”

The messenger didn't rush to do anything when he heard this, they weren't stupid, this was Lan Ziyi's ship, and there were Lan Ziyi's goods in the boat, how could they, the errand boys, dare to open it casually? Du Jing naturally knew that they didn't dare to move, so he cheered everyone up and said:

"Don't worry, Wei Hou has always been a law-abiding person, and he will not do anything unseemly, just open it in front of him if there is anything suspicious. As long as you see clearly, there is nothing to worry about.

You say yes, right? Waiting? ”

said that Du Jing also asked Lan Ziyi for advice, but Lan Ziyi did not speak, he only watched Du Jing and the messenger do it, and he himself was silent and did not say a word. Lan Ziyi was silent, and the servants didn't dare to come nonsense, and Du Jing saw that his subordinates didn't do anything yet, so he scolded:

"Whose soldiers are you, and where do you eat? If you are told to do it, you will do it, and if you rub it again, you will go home and never come again! ”

Seeing that Du Jing had given the order to die, these officials had no choice but to do it, so they drew their waist knives and inserted them into the cracks along the incisions. There was a crisp "click", the log was pried open from it, and with another effort, the log was dismantled in half, and then the entire cabin was illuminated by the sudden white light, and everyone in the cabin was shaken and couldn't open their eyes.

The servants were surprised by the source of the light, and after a closer look, they found that the middle of the wood that had been extracted had been hollowed out, and all the silver was piled up inside, one ingot after another, and it was roughly estimated that there were ten thousand taels of silver in the wood. The servants couldn't close their mouths when they saw the gold and jade in front of them, but Du Jing was not surprised by this, he only smiled at Lan Ziyi and asked:

"Weihou, didn't you say that this ship is full of wood? Why did all of a sudden silver pop out of the wood? I heard that the five elements are shengke, only gold and wood, and no wood is gold. Your trick has become, and it's too incomprehensible. ”

Lan Ziyi looked at the silver exposed in front of him, sighed softly, and said:

"Du Zhutou, you are checking a demon thief, and I am not a demon thief, whether you can get the money or not has nothing to do with what you checked."

Du Jing smiled:

"How can it not be related? Wei Hou concealed that the actual goods transported had violated the laws of the imperial court, and if Wei Hou planned to transport silver, he would tell the government truthfully. ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"If I told me the truth, would you let me into the city?"

Du Jing smiled:

"Of course not, I don't know where you got the money, what if you colluded with the thief to get it?"

Hearing this, Tao Zhutu angrily reprimanded Du Jingdao:

"The surname is Du, what nonsense are you talking about? My young master is loyal to the country, why did he collude with the demon thief? And the demon thief was destroyed a month ago, where can my young master collude with the demon thief? Collusion under the underworld? ”

Du Jing was scolded by Tao Zhutu and did not get angry, he only smiled:

"Listen to Saburo's tone, are you going to show me the color today? It was also me who was inspired by the color, and who told me to accidentally discover the little secret that Wei Hou was hiding in the cabin? Is Wei Hou going to invite us people to eat wonton soup today? ”

When the officers heard that they were going to eat "wonton soup", they immediately gasped, and they jumped up and raised their knives in their hands as if they were facing a great enemy, and Lan Ziyi could only laugh and sigh, he said:

"Where can I find the courage to murder officials in broad daylight? There is no little secret, and it is true that you court officials have been forced to make a decision. ”

Du Jing didn't care what Lan Ziyi said, he only walked up to Lan Ziyi and said:

"Since Wei Hou doesn't intend to take my life, then I have to take Wei Hou's fleet, there is a problem with your ships' goods, and Jingzhao Mansion must check it clearly to rest assured."

Hearing this, Peach Rabbit argued:

"Obviously only this one piece of wood has been seized by you, why should the entire fleet be seized?"

To King Road:

"It's not that only one piece of wood has been checked, but it just so happens that there is a problem with this one being caught, and there are hundreds of logs in these boats, who knows how many more are the same as this one? I'm going to have to get things ashore and check them one by one. ”

Tao Zhutu wanted to say more but was stopped by Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi only said:

"In that case, let's ask Du Zhutou to arrange for someone to send us back to the capital."

When Du Jing heard this, he arched his hand and said:

"Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to deliver it, and we will return the things on your ship as they are after we check them, and we will not let Wei Hou have a trace of loss."

Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly:

"I really didn't think I'd ever come back one day."

After saying that, Lan Ziyi turned around and crawled out of the cabin. After leaving the cabin and going to the deck, Du Jing sent his men to take over the ship, Lan Ziyi

There was no further argument, but he just ordered the guys of the remaining ships to make a good deal with the servants of Jingzhao Mansion, and after the two sides were dealt with, Lan Ziyi and the others on the ship boarded the small boat where the messengers came, and rowed leisurely to the side of the capital. The water surface of the mirror lake is rippling, and this ripple is just a kind of comfort when sitting in a big boat, but now when you take a small boat, the comfort has long been gone with the bumps, and the ups and downs of life are sometimes really drastic.

When Lan Ziyi arrived at the dock, he led the guys to wait for the shore, and after leaving the errand and walking away, Lan Ziyi gave the guys a reward and let them go first, and the guys asked for horses from the Lan family's shop at the dock for Lan Ziyi to ride, but the horses here were not enough for four people to ride, so Lan Ziyi asked the guys to take the horses back, and he walked to the city with Tao Zhutu and the father and son of the enemy family.
