It's a joke to say that a partner is playing.

Changying has no place in her heart at this time, and Mao Jin will only cause her to be disgusted, and the gains outweigh the losses, so he will not do this kind of thing to make others gloat.

Changying sent Wu's mother down to serve the food, and added tea to Tan Shao with a smile: "It's all a table of Shu Chinese dishes specially made, and the general uses it slowly." ”

"Changying, hand me the teapot."

Xu Lan beckoned to her.

She walked over with the pot in her hand and filled it for him.

Huo Rong put one hand on the back of the chair, looked at the two of them who were full of tacit understanding, and found that not only was the drama blocked, but the taste of duck meat in his mouth was also strange.

"Why doesn't Brother Zi eat fish?" Xu Lan said, "Taste it, this spicy is quite exciting." ”

He smiled: "I don't like to eat much." There are many spines. ”

"I think it's okay." Xu Lan smiled slightly, "Maybe it's because I'm not very picky." ”

"If you don't pick a thorn, won't you get stuck in your throat?"

"What are you afraid of?" Tan Shao, who didn't speak much on the side, looked at the two of them at this time, "Isn't it okay to drink two more pots of vinegar?" ”

……

Huo Rong was relieved by Tan Shao's sentence to Xu Lan, but after all, because some pictures were too dazzling, he didn't feel much about the taste of a meal, and in short, he didn't eat much in the end.

Tong Qi secretly looked at him when he brought him mutton noodles and came in: "Last night, the master lied to General Xu and said that he went to swim in the water, right?" ”

Huo Rong picked up a large handful of noodles and looked at him coldly: "Go out." ”

Tong Qi was as good as a stream and went out.

For such a big matter, Shen Changying must report it to Xu Lan.

Xu Lan knew that he was going into the water to help Shen Changying in private, could he not taste it?

So last night, he was clearly secretly provoking people's jealousy, wanting to see how jealous Xu Lan would be jealous and ugly and laugh generously.

But now that people are not timid at this time, they have turned around and stared at him quietly, and he has been targeted everywhere, who is to blame?

He said he wasn't full?

Tong Qi felt that he was simply full of food.

After lunch, Xu Lan went back to the guard with Changying.

Although he was scolded by Tan Shao, he saw that Huo Rong didn't use chopsticks much, but he ate very happily and was very full.

So when it comes to business, it seems to be energetic.

"Last morning, I asked people to check the warehouse, and the lack of materials for our four ships is not much, but with the arrival of the materials in the back, it is estimated that the group will still move."

Changying nodded, looked outside, and said, "Su Xinrong hasn't come back yet, so why don't I go to the dock and take a look." ”

Xu Lan thought for a while, picked up his headband, and said, "You wait for me for a while, and I'll go with you." ”

Su Xinrong may not listen to her, and he must also take a look at such a big thing.

When Changying and the others went out, Huo Rong finished eating noodles and had already received news from Tong Qi in his mansion.

"There's no news from the dockyard yet.

"The prefect of the Huzhou Lifting Division is surnamed Lin, but the local Lifting Division has no real power, and the subordinates have learned about it, and the matter of the dock should not be something that a small lifting division can carry.

"The sentry posts along the river are all sailors sent from the Governor's Palace, and Nan Kangwei was actually only responsible for the defense of the troops on the shore.

"Even if the emperor took advantage of Cheng Xiao's case of embezzling official silver this time, he strongly intervened Nan Kangwei to take charge of the expansion of the wharf and shipbuilding, but in fact, he couldn't reach out to the rest of the ships."

Huo Rong leaned close to the back of his chair and said with his eyebrows: "In other words, if Nan Kangwei can't take advantage of the shipbuilding and expansion of the dock this time to take over the management of the entire Huzhou wharf, it is basically impossible to take over the Caoyun Governor's Mansion completely." ”

Tong Qi's jaw head agreed.

Huo Rongchang took a breath and supported the handrail: "But the dock is under the management of the Caoyun Division, and Nan Kangwei can't grab it back even if he robs it, so what's the matter?" ”

What he didn't understand, how could Tong Qi understand.

Huo Rong got up and walked a few steps, stretched out his slender index finger to hook the beaded curtain of amber under the door: "It seems that I can only find a way to force Fan Xin to give up power." ”

"Where do you find a way?" Tong Qi asked.

Huo Rong took his hand: "Prepare the horse, go to the dock first." ”

……

Changying and Xu Lan arrived at the warehouse, first asked where Su Xinrong was, and was about to look for it, but Huang Ji and Su Xinrong went down to the dock door with a stiff face.

"How's it going?"

She went ahead to meet her.

Su Xinrong was in a hurry, stopped suddenly, and when she saw Xu Lan with her again, she subconsciously showed a touch of gloom.

But thinking of this intention, he unconsciously restrained his expression, saluted Xu Lan first, and then dragged a soldier behind him and Changying and said: "This guy is cunning, there are many people here, find a place to talk first." ”

Changying looked up and walked to an unmanned warehouse in front of her.

stood still and looked at the soldier's eyes, only to see that this person had two or three white eyes and eight-character eyebrows, and he really didn't look like a good person.

"Is that him?" Xu Lan handed over the horsewhip to his followers, and also looked at it with his eyebrows.

Su Xinrong said: "I came to the dock and found this guy, I didn't move, I just said that he would let me go back to the guard to get some things, he promised well, said that he was going to lead a horse, and he ran away."

"Huang Ji and I chased him for more than ten miles before catching up with him, and asked him where the craftsmen were, but he said he didn't know.

"I don't know what you're running for me?!"

As she spoke, she kicked him on the waist and kicked him to the ground.

Changying looked at Huang Ji, and Huang Ji nodded, proving that what he said was true.

Then drag him back and torture him, first cut him ten times and eight wounds, and pour air into his skin. If you don't say it, stuff a soldering iron into the skin. ”

Changying lowered his eyes, and the clouds and breeze looked lightly at the people on the ground.

The soldier shuddered and looked up.

Xu Lan and Su Xinrong also took turns looking at Changying's face.

She didn't seem to see it, and slowly continued: "Remember to open the mouth on the waist, neck and thighs, which are thin skin, and the thick skin will not achieve the effect." ”

The soldier's face turned pale, and only a pair of eyes were red.

Huang Ji stretched out his hand to drag him, and he suddenly softened into a stream of mud: "The general spares his life!" The general spares his life! The little ones really don't know wow! ”

"What don't you know?"

"The little one, the little one, I don't know what they have done!"

Long tasseled teeth: "Then think slowly when you are tortured." You're not going to die so quickly anyway. ”

Huang Ji dragged him onto the horse.

He was so frightened that his pants were wet, and he cried wolf while struggling: "The little ones really don't know them!"

"I only received a few filial tributes from them, and let the little ones help introduce the work, and secondly, I only know that they often walk around the Hutchison granary, and I don't know anything about the rest!"

A man in his twenties and thirties, hugging the horse's neck and crying, the water in the crotch of his pants was flowing down.

Xu Lan frowned and asked the people around him to take him down. Then he said, "Can Changying recognize those people?" If we recognize it, we'll go to the granary. ”

"No problem." She replied.
