Chapter 119: Not doing business
Quickly hiding his emotions, Bei Mingchen suppressed the jealousy in his heart and asked softly, "How do you feel?" Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable with? ”
"It's okay, but I'm a little tired!" Physically and mentally exhausted, He Muwan responded lightly, her eyes fell on the red on the corner of the man's lips, He Muwan turned the conversation and asked, "What's wrong with your mouth?" ”
She didn't say it, but he forgot about it, this is not thanks to her, Bei Yingchen slandered, but he didn't say it explicitly, touched the wound on the corner of his lip, he smiled slightly, and said casually: "It's okay, I just accidentally bumped into the door!" ”
Although he was forced to feed the medicine, if he let her know that he kissed her when she was unconscious, he would probably be hurt more than that.
He Muwan's biting kung fu, he has been taught more than once, compared to the mad dog, it can be said that it is even better, so it is naturally impossible for Bei Yingchen to tell her the truth.
Without any doubts about the man's words, He Muwan looked down at the clothes on her body, and then looked at a dark shadow under the man's eyes, she frowned slightly and said, "You have been taking care of me last night?" My clothes ...... then."
This night, although her eyes were heavy and she had not been able to open them, in the fog, she faintly felt that there seemed to be a person beside her, but she didn't expect that it would be him.
"Don't worry, how could this king do these things with his own hands, your clothes were changed for you by the maids of Xueyueju!"
Knowing what the woman was worried about, Bei Mingchen took the words and said with relief, but he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, she was the wife he was marrying, and she actually prevented him from being like a thief.
Frustrated, what is this answer, it is not so important to He Muwan anymore, if it was him, maybe she should say "thank you" to him, but since it is not, then forget it.
Slowly tilting his head inward, He Muwan didn't speak again.
"Rest well!" Seeing this, Bei Mingchen said lightly, got up and left the room.
As soon as Qin Yuning saw the man come out, he hurriedly greeted him, and the first thing that caught his eye was the red at the corner of the man's mouth.
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with your mouth?" Thinking that He Muwan had a high fever last night, and the two of them should not be able to do anything excessive, Qin Yuning looked puzzled and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I was bitten by a wild dog!" responded casually, and then Bei Mingchen changed the conversation and said, "What is the movement over there in the Fen River?" ”
"Ye Tingxuan has already delivered tea and silk from the Moonfall Country to Xichu according to the agreement, there are too many goods, and the workers are very busy, Gu Yufei brought a lot of his people to help unload the goods on the grounds of helping! I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary yet! Qin Yuning truthfully reported the news sent back by the spies.
Nothing unusual? Bei Mingchen snorted coldly in his heart, if any spy could find out their small movements, then Gu Shichong and Gu Yufei, father and son, would have lived for so many years in vain.
The corners of his lips hooked slightly, squeezing out a sneer, Bei Mingchen didn't speak, just walked forward quickly.
Seeing the man heading in the direction of the dormitory, Qin Yuning hurriedly followed, and reminded behind the man: "Lord Wang, don't you want to go to the court?" ”
Looking at the sky that had just brightened, Bei Mingchen knew that it was still too late to rush to the palace now, but he didn't seem to have the intention of rushing there.
"This king has never been doing his job, and it is common for him not to go to the early dynasty for no reason, and it is not bad this time, he didn't sleep all night, so it is the most important thing to go back and make up for sleep first! There's business to do tonight! ”
"I'm sleepy!" With a lazy face, Bei Mingchen said, opening his mouth and yawning.
But who knows, his move touched the wound on his lips, and the blood clots that dried at the corners of his lips were pulled open, and Bei Mingchen couldn't help frowning.
I only felt that the man's appearance was a little funny, Qin Yuning on the side really couldn't hold back, grinned, and felt the man's fierce gaze, he quickly put away his smile.
Glaring at the gloating people on the side, Bei Mingchen didn't speak, but continued to walk towards his dormitory.
In the dead of night, dozens of large freight ships are moving in an orderly manner on the Fen River, and several other large ships have docked, and on the wharf, a group of workers are carrying goods back and forth.
Flicking the fan in his hand, Gu Yufei stood quietly outside the crowd, supervising everyone's work.
The turquoise river ripples slightly, as the big boat sails by, the large splashes ripple layer by layer, slowly blurring from the middle to the surroundings, there is no wind today, and the whole river is unusually calm.
Suddenly, two masked men in black poked their heads out from under the water, grabbed the hull of the boat, jumped up with their strength, and jumped on the deck easily by climbing the mast while the front and rear hulls of the two boats were staggered and the view of the people on the river bank was blocked.
Walking cautiously towards the cabin, the two men carefully examined the cargo in the cabin.
"Lord Wang, there seems to be nothing else here except tea and silk?"
Having searched almost all the warehouses, the two of them had never found the iron they were looking for, and Qin Yuning couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Could it be that we are overthinking? Or, Gu Shichong has not yet transported iron tools in this first batch of goods? ”
"No, there must be something we're looking for in this shipment!" Bei Mingchen said firmly: "Now is the season of the harvest of tea at the beginning of the moon, silk and tea are transported together, the volume of goods is huge, it is an excellent time to hide iron in the goods, if you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait for more than half a year!" ”
From the moment Gu Shichong started to attack the He family, Bei Yingchen felt that Gu Shichong couldn't hold it anymore.
Coupled with the news he received from the moonset, Bei Mingchen was not analyzing and guessing about the transportation of iron tools, but was confident, otherwise, he would not have rushed out.
"Could it be that the iron is concentrated on a few ships, and the ship we are on happens to be unloaded?" Qin Yuning speculated with his eyebrows.
"Iron is much heavier than tea and silk, and if it were transported in a centralized manner, the ships that carried iron would be much heavier than tea and silk, and it would be easy to show flaws! With the shrewdness of the Gu family's father and son, there shouldn't be such an unwise move! ”
Recalling the scene when he had just surfaced, the man seemed to suddenly think of something, and a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and Bei Mingchen continued: "There must be iron weapons in this ship!" ”
"Why is the prince so sure?" Qin Yuning took over and asked.
"Because there is a problem with the waterline of these ships!" Bei Mingchen thought about it and analyzed: "The capacity of this kind of cargo ship is generally about 10,000 hu, tea and silk are light, 10,000 hu is only about 150 tons, but judging from the ship's draft, the displacement is at least more than 200 tons!" ”
