Chapter 057: Inconsequential Ex-Wife
Changying rolled her eyes.
Huo Rong finished the activity and then went into the water.
Tong Qi followed, gesturing to each other and then boarding the boat in front and rear.
This is a common cargo ship, about seven or eight thousand pounds of weight, there are four people in the cabin around the kang table throwing dice, there are many sacks piled up in it, bulging, should be cargo.
Other than that, there really wasn't any room for wood.
Huo Rong looked around along the bulkhead, crouched on the deck and thought for a while, and then swam to the next boat.
There was only one oil lamp lit on the ship, and an old man dozed off in the cabin with his forehead propped up, and there was still nothing worth saying in the cabin.
"Master, do you want to withdraw?" Tong Qi obviously didn't find anything and sneaked over.
Huo Rong groaned: "Shen Changying is a cautious person, she said that if she sees someone stealing wood, it must be there."
"Tonight is the running time of the boat, the merchant ship can't walk, the wood must still be on the ship, look for it."
"Since it's for sure, why don't you just bring someone over and search?"
"Even if you find it, you can only find out this time, this kind of thing, naturally it is necessary to treat the symptoms and cure the root cause."
Huo Rong gestured and went to the tail board where no one was looking.
Maybe it was the tacit understanding reached by Changxing during those days, even if Shen Changying didn't say it, he could understand why she asked him for help and asked him to send guards to investigate the truth.
If these people really collude with officials and private individuals to pry the corners of the government's government, then this must not be a matter of a day or two, and it must not be something that a few craftsmen are brave enough to do.
Bringing people to search directly is tantamount to startling snakes, and then trying to get rid of them, it's not easy to talk about it.
"Hiss-"
There was a sound of insects in front, and it was Tong Qi who was greeting.
He sneaked over, Tong Qi pointed to the nail plate: "There is a light underneath!" ”
There are indeed lights below the deck, and Daning's merchant ship craftsmanship is also very superb, and there are almost no gaps in the hull, and even if there are seams, they have long been filled with tung oil and paint, but the line on the deck does not have to be wet, but there is light shining underneath.
Huo Shen leaned over and put his ears on it, then visually measured the length of the hull, and then went into the water again, looked at the depth of the hull, and then motioned to Tong Qi to lure away the old man in the cabin.
Tong Qi jumped under the water and screamed, the old man in the cabin woke up, and then walked to the door, Huo Rong took the opportunity to enter and looked at the inner hatch behind him,
Open, enter, close again, all in one go.
There were two lamps in the bilge, full of wood, paulownia paint, and so on......
The tassels wandered back and forth on the shore.
Xu Lan said that Huo Rong was familiar with Cao Yun, she thought that the Huo family was an imperial businessman, and it was just a matter of being familiar, but she didn't expect him to know water!
This is not uncommon to ordinary people, but where is the Huo family?
Legend has it that the Huo family's money is more than enough to buy the entire Huizhou City, and Huo Rong, as the son of the Huo family and the heir of the Huo family, is willing to let him learn to swim?
Isn't this Huo Mingzhai a strange person?
"Whoa!"
There was the sound of water by the river, and two people came ashore one after another, and the first man was already soaking wet with his coat sticking to his body, and in the moonlight he outlined his ape-back bee waist.
Behind him, Tong Qi didn't know when he had put on his clothes, and although he was messy, he still appeared in front of people in a regular manner.
Changying cleared his throat: "I heard movement earlier, are you all right?" ”
"The timber is hidden in the Fuzi cargo ship, except for the timber, it should be in the dock that everything that can be stolen is involved."
Huo Rong said as he took off his shirt and wrung the water.
The water dripped on the ground, and the moonlight shone into an intermittent silver practice, and he was forced to look at the long tassels of bulging muscles on half of his body, only to feel that his whole body was also drenched in shameless and sinful light.
There are people who are shirtless every day in the daily training in the guard, and there are many of them who are in good shape and handsome, and they naturally have a red face and a heartbeat when they first look at it, but it is really like that after seeing too much.
Under the moonlight in front of him, there are more or less taboos compared to the guard, and the key is that this man is still a man from someone else's family, Changying obviously can't stand this blessing, so he picked up his coat and threw it over: "Then thank you in advance!" Ming'er, General Xu and I went to the government to check this Fu number. ”
Huo Rong glanced at her and took the robe: "You are very familiar with General Xu?" ”
"Two years of comrades, do you say you are familiar?" Changying laughed.
Huo Rong shook the corners of his robe, looked into the depths of the night, and hummed after a long time.
Looking at Xu Lan's energy towards her, it doesn't look like it's just a comrade. On the river beach before, that scene was too dazzling. I guess when I turned around, Su Xinrong had to smash the pillow, right?
Changying said: "What's wrong?" ”
He lowered his head and took his sword: "Nothing." I wish you happiness. ”
An irrelevant "ex-wife" is just that, she has found the person she likes, and he will naturally not hesitate to give blessings.
It's just that I hope she can achieve a positive result before Ling Yuan finds her, otherwise she will have been killed by Ling Yuan before she has time to taste the sweetness of her concubine's affection, how miserable!
Changying sneezed: "Who cursed me?" ”
Huo Rong squinted at her.
Changying put down his hand to cover his nose and looked at him, always feeling that he had become strange since Changxing separated.
Huo Rong didn't say anything more, threw the robe he was wearing on her and left.
Although Changying thanked him for his kindness, he didn't dare to wear this dress.
She walked up and returned it to him: "Then again, why did you suddenly come to Nankangwei?" ”
Based on the fact that these things were all caused by Changxing's matter, and because she found out about Fang Cai's matter, so that he must not stand idly by in the future, Huo Rong paused, took his clothes and said, "It is to act on orders." ”
After that, he briefly told her the follow-up of Cheng Xiao's case received by the Huo family, and then said: "The transportation affairs of Huzhou Wharf are very important, although you are under Xu Lan, you must also focus on the overall situation." ”
Chang Ying had actually guessed that he was here for Cao Yun before, but he didn't know so much about it.
She nodded, "I will." He smiled again: "General Xu is also very responsible, right and wrong, he is like a mirror in his heart, I believe he will not be the kind of person who calculates confused accounts." ”
Huo Rong looked at her for a long time, then retracted his gaze and nodded: "I can see it." ”
"Did you take my handprint and look for an answer?" Changying asked again.
Huo Rong held the hilt of the sword: "Found it." But it's none of your business. ”
Changying felt that this was the reason why there could be no mistake.
He has been cold and indifferent since he came, since he has confirmed that she is not Shen Linlang who has had anything to do with him, it is very reasonable for him to keep a distance from her.
Huo Rong looked at her with a determined look, but felt bored.
He said, "I'll go for a walk, feel free to do so." ”
"Aren't your clothes still wet?"
"It doesn't matter." He took a slow breath, "Eat too much, you have to eat." ”
