Chapter 120 There are clearly ghosts
Everyone knows that the two boats are close to Gao Xi, so it is most appropriate for her to take the lead!
At this moment, he is going downstairs with a food table.
She picked a few meat dishes from the three-story mat, set up a lamp, and deliberately made a big circle around the boat.
Except for a few lazy mothers-in-law who were gambling in the cabin and guards guarding outside the storeroom, she didn't see anyone on or off the ship.
As for the storeroom, the back door has been locked by two large chains thicker than an arm, so only the front door is guarded.
So while no one was paying attention, he easily extinguished a few lights on the side of the big ship, which made the big ship's vision change a lot.
In the name of Gao Xi and Steward Zhang, he took the food table in his hand to the front door of the warehouse, and "rewarded" the two guards who were on duty.
In front of the storeroom, the guards were very happy to see the painting.
Everyone is laughing and feasting, but they are still working hard to guard the warehouse, the smell of wine and meat fills the nose, and the light song and dance are close in front of them, but they can only swallow saliva and hold their necks high and wait for others to come to take turns......
At this moment, as soon as the delicacies arrived, their empty stomachs suddenly had some comfort.
After many days of sailing, most of the meals were fish, and at this moment I saw all kinds of meat with all kinds of colors and flavors, what a temptation. The two guards sat down on the ground, sat down and began to eat.
How do they know they're targeted?
Before half of the five dishes and one soup on the dining table were used, the two guards had a strong sense of fatigue, their limbs were soft, they couldn't sit still, and even their chopsticks fell off the table......
Before they could perceive and begin to wonder where the fatigue was coming from, something had struck them on the back of their necks, plunging them into a long darkness......
How did they know that in the oil lamp on the dining table, which seemed to be prepared intimately, there was one more object burned - the stamen of fluorite flowers.
I didn't know the composition of the stamens before, and the incense sticks taken out of the fluorite flowers were useless, but now I know that it is a good medicine in the rivers and lakes, so I naturally want to make the best use of it.
So, even though these guys have martial arts and are vigilant, after sniffing the tasteless and smokeless but domineering and ferocious Anshen incense for a long time, they were easily planted in Gui'er's hands......
The warehouse was under various inspections all the way, and the goods were only salt, so the door of the warehouse was not locked, but someone was arranged to guard it as usual......
However, it seems that the guards are not strict, but Cheng Ziyu has already heard that the guards in the treasury are all practitioners specially trained by the Gao family, and they have some skills, and it is not easy for them to enter the warehouse smoothly.
At this moment, Fauber and they are not there, and it is naturally undesirable for them to be hard. So, his way of being a man was returned.
No matter how experienced these guards are, no matter how high their martial arts are, they are also invincible to guard against with their indiscriminate methods!
At this moment, Gui'er and Cheng Ziyu had put on a pure black cloak and walked in a low-key manner in the dark. After turning around to answer the painting, and after confirming that there was no one along the way, he led the two to the door of the warehouse......
After Gui'er moved the two stunned guards to the warehouse, she turned back to the second floor to move things.
The painting was guarded at the corner ten steps in front of the storehouse door, while Cheng Ziyu flashed into the storeroom, took a fire fold after closing the door, and lit a small lamp......
As soon as he stepped into the warehouse, Cheng Ziyu immediately understood why no matter which port he docked at, the officers and soldiers had to leave in a hurry as long as they entered the warehouse for a few dozen breaths at most.
One word: hot!
She is not sweaty easily, but even so, she has only been in for a short time at this moment, and her back is already slimy. The whole person has a feeling of suffocation, and he just wants to get out of this hellish place quickly.
If the two doors in front and back of the storehouse are not opened, the air will not be able to circulate, and this kind of summer day is just like a stove.
Although there are rows of windows on both sides of the storeroom, they have been locked from the inside.
As a result, this enclosed space is scorched by the sunlight projected through the window during the day, and the body feels several levels hotter than the outside.
It was still so difficult for her to enter the warehouse at night, not to mention the officers and soldiers who entered the warehouse during the day to inspect. As soon as those officers and soldiers left the warehouse, they were all relieved, and they only did a perfunctory general inspection......
The Gao family did this, which was clearly intentional.
It's even more suspicious!
Cheng Ziyu walked around and found that the high cylinders were supported by wooden planks in the middle near the door, and the two were made into a group, and gradually the warehouse was inside, and it became a group of three cylinders.
Such three cylinders are stacked, enough to be as tall as two of her.
She couldn't help but snort, each high tank itself weighs dozens of catties, plus the amount of salt, then each cylinder weighs at least more than two hundred catties. If you want to be seriously inspected, how much manpower and time will be spent, and it is simply unrealistic to spend at the busy ports in the peak season.
Of course, even if the officers and men have the heart to scrutinize, in such an environment, their physical strength and energy will not be able to keep up. Then there is Gao Xi's dot, the name of Gao Chenglin's three families, who is willing to work hard to do that thankless job!
She looked around, the hull was so large, and it was not that there was no room for stacking, but it was so laboriously stacked, which made it even more suspicious.
That Xiang Gui'er came in with two hemp bags in her hand and nodded at Cheng Ziyu.
It's the same with the painting, after carrying two things and putting them next to the storeroom door, I nod my head to indicate that everything is ready.
The door was gently closed, and the painting continued to guard the door outside, while Gui'er dragged the two sacks to Cheng Ziyu's side.
Cheng Ziyu pointed to a set of double-height cylinders against the wall and gestured to Gui'er.
After Gui'er put down her things, she gave full play to her strength, and hugged the high tank on the top with one step and one breath.
Cheng Ziyu was not interested in the cylinder she was holding, so she only went up to look at the bottom layer of the cylinder. Lift a layer of wood, open the tarp, and with a single glance, she began to smile.
Gao Xi, Gao Xi, I really didn't disappoint her.
She saw the problem!
She had spoken to several boatmen before and after with Fauber.
The boatmen were sure that the amount of salt in each tank was the same, and they were all filled with 150 catties of salt.
And a few days ago on the deck, Cheng Ziyu had already seen the so-called 150 catties of salt in those tanks, which was about one-third of the large tank.
But at this moment, in the jar in front of him, the amount of salt has obviously been filled beyond the waist of the jar.
In fact, during the days when she was in retreat in the village, she had already tested the high cylinder produced by the Cheng family. After a few times, she could estimate the amount of salt in a jar with just a pair of eyes.
After all, it was the first time she had heard of the fact that these vats were mostly used for brewing wine and storing water, and for storing salt.
At that time, she secretly asked Wen Rou to buy 500 catties of salt, just to see how much a tank could hold.
If you don't pretend you don't know, it's really surprising to pretend.
She had a bag of salt for 100 catties, and after the fifth bag was completely poured into the tank, there was still room for it. In other words, if the high tank is full, it will need at least about 600 catties of salt.
The salt boatmen on the deck before were not lying, and it was about one hundred and fifty pounds.
But at this moment, the amount of salt in the vat in front of me is more than half, so it is conservatively estimated that there are three hundred catties of salt instead of one hundred and fifty catties.
If there is really a ghost in the Gao family, this kind of secret will never be known to those swaggering rough boatmen, so it is impossible for the boatmen to tell this lie!
So on the contrary, if the Gao family has no ghosts, how can this one hundred and fifty catties of salt become three hundred catties without even knowing the boatmen? If they are open, why should they hide it from the shipwrights?
Obviously, this is all a covert operation.
It's clear that there are ghosts!
