Chapter 086: The Stolen Sinan
Chapter 086 Stolen Sinan.
Xu Huizu let out a long sigh and said, "The Sinan needed for navigation has been stolen. ”
After Xu Ruoxuan heard this, he was taken aback and said: "How could this royal Sinan be stolen, didn't Sinan always be in the palace?" ”
Xu Huizu shook his head: "It was originally placed in the palace, but Zheng He was going to sea this summer, so the emperor gave Nasinan to Zheng He, and Zheng He put it where he built the ship, but this morning Nasinan suddenly disappeared." ”
Xu Huizu and Xu Ruoxuan had such a heated discussion, but Ye Xing didn't feel strange at all, he knew that Sinan's role in navigation was the compass, and the compass was a very simple gadget, just need to polish some iron rods, and if you lose one, you will lose one.
Ye Xing wanted to say something, Xu Huizu suddenly continued: "The emperor has already ordered, we must find the lost royal Sinan, otherwise not only Zheng He's sailing plan will be canceled, but even Zheng He may not escape death, I have been friends with Zheng He for many years, how can I watch him be killed because of a Sinan." ”
"Do you have to find that Sinan, can't you use other guide equipment?" Ye Xing asked with some curiosity.
Xu Huizu nodded: "Sinan, I have a lot of Ming Dynasty, but this royal Sinan is different from the general Sinan, the chassis of this Sinan is made of pure gold, and its workmanship can be said to be difficult to find such a beautiful Sinan, one of the purposes of the emperor to let Zheng He go to sea is to promote the national prestige of my Ming Dynasty, if there is no such Sinan, how can I promote the national prestige?" ”
After Xu Huizu finished speaking, Ye Xing felt that he was thinking about things a little one-sidedly, but the few of them were sitting here and probably couldn't think of any way.
Bai Lingqi asked at this time: "Wei Guogong told us this, does he want us to investigate this matter?" ”
Xu Huizu looked at Bai Lingqi and nodded: "That's right, the emperor handed over this matter to me, I plan to go to the shipyard tomorrow to have a look, I know that you all have your own skills, why don't you go with me." ”
Ye Xing and the others glanced at each other, and then hurriedly replied, "Yes!" ”
The weather on the second day was not very good, the sky was gloomy, as if it was going to rain, but Xu Huizu still took Ye Xing, Xu Ruoxuan, Bai Lingqi and Di Xiaojie to Zheng He's place to do business.
Ye Xing's mood was extremely excited, because he was about to meet Zheng He, who had traveled to the West seven times in history, he was a great navigator, and his story could be written in a book.
The shipyard is located not far from the canal, because the ships will eventually depart from Liujiagang in Suzhou.
The sky was gray, but it brought a touch of coolness to the somewhat sultry summer, and they walked for about two or three hours before they came to the shipyard, and they stood outside the shipyard, and they could see the canal not far away, and there were no less than hundreds of ships coming and going on the canal, and the shipyard was constantly grinding sound.
As soon as Xu Huizu and the others came to the door, a man with a height of seven feet and a square face greeted him, and the man had no beard on his face, so it was even more obvious that his face was not very good at this time.
"Wei Guogong, you are finally here, if you don't come again, I'm afraid I'm going crazy."
Xu Huizu looked at the man and said, "Brother Zheng, it's understandable that you are in a hurry when this kind of thing happens, after I got the news, I came right this morning." ”
Ye Xing had already understood at this time that the square face in front of him, the man without a beard was Zheng He, and Xu Huizu called him Brother Zheng, which showed that the relationship between the two of them was extraordinary.
"Wei Guogong, please come in quickly, this investigation of the theft of the royal Sinan depends on Wei Guogong." Zheng He said very sincerely.
Xu Huizu nodded: "You can rest assured, for the sake of the emperor and Brother Zheng's sailing plan, I will definitely do my best to help you find the royal Sinan." ”
Ye Xing heard the two of them say this, but he was a little disdainful in his heart, saying that when can I find the royal Sinan, if you want to find something, you must know how to lose it!
Several of them came to a secluded place, Zheng He looked at Xu Huizu and asked, "Where does Wei Guogong want to start investigating?" ”
Xu Huizu was originally a martial artist, and he knew these things, so Xu Huizu looked at Ye Xing and asked, "Do you have any solutions?" ”
Xu Ruoxuan and the others were relatively speechless, and at this time Ye Xing stood up and said: "Gu Youmao recommended himself, I, Ye Xing, am willing to help Wei Guogong find out that Sinan today." ”
When Xu Huizu heard Ye Xing say this, he knew that he had not misread Ye Xing, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, but I don't know how you want to find out that Royal Sinan?" ”
"If Wei Guogong can trust me, I want to use my own method."
Xu Huizu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, if you don't doubt it, you can use your method to investigate this matter." ”
Ye Xing nodded, and then asked, "I want to know when Royal Sinan was stolen, that is, when did Royal Sinan disappear?" ”
Zheng He thought for a while and said: "Around the hour yesterday, I got up and went to see the royal Sinan, but after I arrived, I found that Sinan was gone, and Nasinan had been kept in a very well-guarded room, and I couldn't enter without a key, and I also asked a few guards to guard the gate day and night. ”
After Ye Xing listened to Zheng He's words, he then asked, "In this case, is the lock of the gate intact, and have those guards ever left?" ”
Zheng He shook his head: "The lock of the gate is intact, and those guards have never left the gate for half a step. ”
Zheng He said this, Ye Xing felt strange, if this was the case, could it be that the ghost stole Na Sinan?
Ye Xing smiled secretly, what kind of ghost is there in this world, so Ye Xing then asked, "Did those guards hear any noise?" ”
"I've asked about it, and they say they haven't heard anything."
Ye Xing felt more and more strange, so he said to Zheng He, "I wonder if you can let us go to that room and have a look?" ”
Zheng He glanced at Ye Xing, judging from the questions Ye Xing asked, he could know with certainty that Ye Xing was a very wise person, and from the tone of his speech, it could be seen that he was a person who was neither humble nor arrogant, because many people would think about themselves after seeing themselves, but Ye Xing didn't, he just talked about things.
"Yes, you can come with me, that place is in the innermost part of this shipyard, and it is very tightly guarded, and no one is allowed to enter without my permission."
