Chapter 121 According to the original plan
Just in case of accident, Cheng Ziyu pointed to the other groups of suspicious high cylinders and motioned for Gui'er to do it.
Gui'er moved five cylinders in a row.
As a result, the amount of salt is also very wrong.
The double-layer cylinder is still like this, but what about the three-layer?
They came to the three-story tank.
"Will it work?"
This work was originally arranged for Fu Bo to do it, but at the moment it can only be done by Gui'er. Although Fu Bo is not young, he is as light as a swallow, flying on the eaves and walking on the wall, and his skills are extraordinary.
And Gui'er only has one bear power in the end, Cheng Ziyu said that she was a little worried.
But Gui'er patted her chest, saying that she could give it a try.
Soon, they found the ladder.
With the tools, it's a lot easier.
Gui'er climbed the ladder, found a good position, and mentioned the power of the top vat with a smile, and was immediately happy.
The top layer is really just a cover, and Gui'er almost knew that its weight was about the same as the ones that were removed from the double-layer high tank.
So the amount of salt in these topmost tanks should be fine.
Cheng Ziyu helped lift it below, and the two worked together to bring the vat to the ground.
Then Cheng Ziyu also went up the ladder and lifted the wooden planks and tarps covering the middle layer of the tank......
The two were almost equally wrong.
That's right, it's fuller than the ones under the double tank just now! If there were 300 catties of salt in the previous tanks, then there are at least 500 catties in the middle layer at this moment.
And if there is such a number in the middle tank, then the bottom stack of tanks, you don't need to look at it, you know, the amount of salt will only be more, not less!
They decided to find out anyway.
This time, the weight of more than 500 catties is not within Gui'er's ability, and it is impossible for her to hold it directly like just now, so she can only move the second layer of the vat forward to her body, and after stabilizing it on her body, she tries to free up a palm space on the other side......
On the first day of Cheng Ziyu's ship, he saw that there were three layers of cylinders piled up in the warehouse, so he was prepared. At this moment she rolled up her sleeves, took the dagger that the old man had given her for self-defense, reached into the gap, cut a hole directly in the wooden plank covering the bottom of the high tank, and then struck it hard.
The dagger was as sharp as clay, and judging by the depth of the dagger's cut, it was reasonable that the plank and tarp should have been cut, but the plank did not fall after she struck it like this......
The two looked at each other and almost made a judgment.
Cheng Ziyu had to cut two more knives, pried out the pieces of broken wood and rags, and then put his hand into the hole.
Her eyes lit up.
Sure enough, the subordinates didn't go!
It's full of salt.
The amount of salt has reached the mouth of the cylinder!
It's full, it's full!
So how much? Six hundred pounds? And even more!
She took a deep breath and withdrew her hand.
Can't run!
All her worries and speculations were true!
The Gao family is indeed transporting smuggled salt.
Otherwise, they don't have to lie about numbers.
The Cheng family has been dragged into the water!
And it's very likely that the salt is still being transported in double or triple the amount!
Take a peek at the whole leopard, you can't be wrong!
She didn't want to know how much private salt was on this ship, and she couldn't find out!
There was only one thing left for her to do......
She must solve this dead end!
Cheng Ziyu motioned for Gui'er to push the middle jar back into place.
"Miss, do you want to start as planned?" In the silence, Gui'er also had a premonition that they had only one last way left.
"Let's get started!"
Cheng Ziyu retreated from the ladder, she untied the two hemp bags that Gui'er had brought, and took out a bag from one of them.
And Gui'er gouged and planed in the salt vat in the middle layer, and cut out a big hole......
Ziyu handed the burden to Gui'er, who stuffed it into the hole, then smoothed it, covered it with salt, and finally covered it with a tarp and a wooden plank, and lifted the top jar back into its place......
Then they switched positions and came to a large stack of three-tiered tanks further back.
As before, the top cylinder is not heavy, only one or two hundred catties. But the amount of salt in the middle and bottom tanks is obviously wrong! I've tried it several times, and it's all like this.
And the two of them are doing the same thing: every time they open the tank in the middle layer, they will cut a hole in the salt, then take a bag from the sack and stuff it into the salt hole, cover it with salt, and finally cover it with tarps and planks, and disguise them as they are......
After a few back and forth, the two of them were already sweating through their clothes as if they had been fished out of the water.
There is really no one in this storeroom, and it is okay if you stand still, but you will sweat like rain with just a slight movement. The black cloaks of the two had long been removed, and the sleeves and trouser legs had been rolled up, but they still couldn't escape the sweat.
Rao is Gui'er is used to doing physical work, and at this time she has exhausted her energy, panting and waving her hands.
"Girl, if the slaves and maids were those officers and soldiers, they would definitely rather take the money. In this summer, if the entire warehouse is inspected, it will definitely cost people's lives! The Gao family deliberately wanted to bring our Cheng family's goods this time, but I was afraid that some of this batch of private salt would be transported to Shu in the end......"
Cheng Ziyu also thought so. After they paid the salt at the wharf of Wuchang Mansion according to the amount of salt, they were afraid that this trip to Shu in the name of the Cheng family was their purpose.
It's just that the matter has come to this point, and the means and methods of implementing the Gao family's plan are no longer within Cheng Ziyu's consideration. No matter what they do, this must be settled tonight!
The two of them were exhausted, but only one of the two sacks was barely used.
And a sack.
As soon as the two of them leaned against the wall and were about to take a breather, they suddenly became excited.
I heard a voice outside!
Someone!
Alien!
The two of them suddenly looked like ashes, and their hearts were whimpering and mourning, and the secret way was not good.
I really want to scold, scold!
Where did this person come from?
There are less than ten people on and off the big ship, who gambles? Or did they not find it before?
In the distance, a man's discussion was heard.
"Hey, what about the two guys guarding the door of the storeroom?"
"Something is wrong! Why aren't you there? ”
"Who's on duty today?"
"It's Lao Xia and Lao Gu, right? Where did you die? ”
"Would you like to go up and have a look?"
"What a fucking nuisance!"
"Hey, who! You! Where did the girl come from? ”
"Hello big brothers!" The voice of entering the painting came, revealing calmness, but Cheng Ziyu could hear her panic.
"What are you doing here? Why didn't you go to the banquet? You? Isn't it the maid of the Cheng family? ”
The voice was full of vigilance and questions, which made Cheng Ziyu's hearts suddenly rise. It sounds like there is more than one person, I'm afraid something will happen!
"Yes, yes, yes, it's indeed the girl of the Cheng family, it seems to be called a painting, isn't it?"
"Hello three big brothers, slaves and maids into the painting!"
In the painting, he cleverly reported the number of the other party.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, the slave maid was ordered by the son to bring food to the two eldest brothers who are guarding the door here. The eldest brothers were very happy, and just about to move the chopsticks, they said that I should not be busy walking, and help them watch for a while. They said they would go and relieve themselves first, and they said they would be back immediately. The slave is waiting here! ”
The painting pointed to several dishes on the dining table, smiling innocently and innocently, but cursing fiercely in his heart.
