Changying followed the people carrying the timber back to the dock, and after putting it down, several people sat on the wood wiping their sweat and chattering.

At this time, the sunset had already set, and the ship's lights had not yet been fully lit, and Changying was sure that they were planning to steal her wood to embarrass her, and were about to call Zhou Liang and them over, when suddenly the people who were sitting stood up.

In the hazy twilight, I saw them look left and right a few times, and then, about to find it safe, quickly carried the log to the slope.

Then I saw a few people standing above and pushing the wood down, and the more than 100 catties of wood slid into the river one by one.

The sound of fluttering was hidden in the surrounding chisel, and it did not attract any movement.

Changying frowned and ambushed.

Su Xinrong is still planning to destroy the evidence of the crime?

She inhaled slightly and looked at a few figures in the twilight, and before she could make any more movements, the water surface suddenly regained its calm and began to ripple again, and then a few heads appeared, and after saying hello to the people on the shore, they immediately swam away in a strange posture.

Why is it strange?

Because the three or four people who came out of the head seemed to be carrying something on their shoulders and swimming in the water, one shoulder was stiff and motionless, and it was in the form of two and two.

And just after walking here, a few more people came up, and they did the same thing, and they walked three or four times.

Seeing this, there is nothing that Changying doesn't understand, the wood that was previously thrown underwater by those people was transferred to other places through the bottom of the water!

Su Xinrong dug a big pit in order to pit her?

She was suspicious, and waited for the river to calm down, and the people carrying timber on the dock had withdrawn, before walking through the shadows.

There were sentry posts on the riverbank at intervals, but there were noticeably fewer people on the part of the shipyard downstream, which was two or three miles away from the section of the river.

At the corner leading to the canal is a bay in which many boats are moored.

She had walked half a mile along the river, when she heard the sound of water in front of her, and in the rising moonlight, the river sparkled as if she had carried heavy objects into the water in the procession, and the men rose from between the boats.

Then a bowl of thick timber surfaced, and when the people on the boat took it and dragged it up, it was the same batch of timber that had been lifted from the dock earlier!

The sailing life of a boat is closely related to the wood, and the wood used in the boat is a good material selected from all over the world, and each one is worth a lot of money.

At present, these people are secretly smuggling ship materials, and they are so secretive and skillful in digging the corners of the transportation?!

- No, what a place to be at the docks? How could someone else be allowed to sneak into the water and steal wood? It must have been the result of someone secretly cooperating.

Could it be that Su Xinrong ......

Changying was a little suspicious, it wasn't that she looked down on Su Xinrong, but how bold she was to do such a thing? And what kind of elaborate means are needed?

Su Xinrong's qualifications are there, and she is not familiar with Cao Yun before she is transferred to the Supervision Department, which is by no means something that can be done in a short period of time.

Aren't these people the pits she paid to dig for her? If she hadn't bought a good person, then why would she lure her away?

"Who?!"

Suddenly there was a shouting from the ship.

She memorized the ship's insignia, then retreated into the shadows and retreated back to the docks.

Maybe she should go to Xu Lan......

When she returned to the original ground and went uphill, she suddenly hit a wall of flesh, she touched her head and took two steps back, the person in front of her was as majestic as a mountain, and the appearance of holding a sword in the moonlight looked particularly cold.

“…… General Huo is also here? ”

Changying's mind was still wandering on the boat, and when she suddenly saw this, she didn't react, and she grinned in a hurry.

Huo Rong, Xu Lan and the others had dinner with a few people from the Cao Yun Division, and knew that there was a ship arriving tonight, and they planned to go back after they were done.

After dinner, I went out for a stroll, and I didn't want to meet him. He looked her up and down: "General Shen, where did you come from?" ”

I didn't see her at the dinner table just now, if Xu Lan hadn't been there, he would have gone to open another small stove for the two of them.

Changying's thought was much simpler, it was rare for his old man to be willing to say a word to her, how could he care about reminiscing now?

The probe looked behind him, and she said, "I wonder if General Huo's guards will be watery?" Can you do me a favor? ”

Tong Qi's face froze.

Huo Rong did not move his sword. After a while: "What's the matter?" ”

"Errand!" Changying walked up the stone steps of the same level as him, "Someone stole the timber from the dock, and he is familiar with the way, and it is not the first time to look at it."

"I just stared at their boat, if you have a water-based guard, I want you to ask them to help dive over and have a look, then there must be a cat on the ship!"

Huo Rong frowned for a moment: "There are guards on both sides of the canal, do you mean that they have an official response?" ”

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." Changying's brow furrowed deeply. "It's hard to say whether there was collusion, but stealing wood is certain."

Huo Rong thought for a moment and motioned for her to lead the way.

Soon back to the previous bay, the boat was still there, looking a little messier than before, but not much changed.

"The boat with an eagle embroidered on its sails is." The tassel pointed to the river.

Huo Rong glanced at Tong Qi, Tong Qi pursed his lips, took off his shirt and went into the water.

Changying listened to the barely audible sound of the water, and said to Huo Rong: "I didn't know that they could swim for two or three miles with such heavy wood on their shoulders and diving. ”

Huo Rong calmly looked at the boat: "There are many slender men who can pull hundreds of catties at the wharf along the river, and a piece of wood is nothing to them." ”

Changying frowned again: "But I don't understand that they went to such great lengths to steal a few pieces of wood......"

Huo Rong thought for a while, and looked at the black pressure not far downstream: "The materials used for official ships and private docks may be very rare." ”

As soon as he said this, it was clear to Changying.

The wharves along the river were both government-run and private-run, and the government-run ships on the canal were naturally controlled by the government, while the privately run docks were usually built for merchants.

The official ships are strictly controlled and the materials used are exquisite, which is incomparable with the materials used in civilian ships. The materials used to steal the official ship are sold to the dockyard for private use, and they can be sold for a good price anyway.

Taking the materials used in the nine boats tonight as an example, a few or a dozen or so of materials are missing, and they can't be found out at all without careful inspection, but the money from the sale of the official and private collusion directly fell into their pockets.

She originally wanted to grab Su Xinrong's handle, but she didn't expect to pull out a hole.

"Master, there is no wood on the ship!"

Tong Qi had already come back while talking, and he wiped his face and said as he popped up by the river.

Changying paused: "I saw them pull on the boat with my own eyes." ”

Huo Rongding stood for a while, and suddenly began to take off his clothes.

Changying watched him take off his only middle coat, and said at a loss: "You, you will also be watery?" ”

Huo Rong moved his muscles and bones, glancing at her: "It's really an honor to see General Shen, who has sharp teeth, also stutters one day." ”
