Brother Shang? My eyes widened at the same time as the Mitsui Leopard, and I turned my head to look at Shang Ke.

But seeing that Shang Ke didn't know whether he was hurt by the slap or frightened, he actually covered his chest with one hand, looking like a baby was so scared, and he wanted to squeeze out a smile that was more bitter than bitter melon on his face: "Miss Cao, you ...... Sure enough, it was here. โ€

I looked at the Mitsumi leopard and smiled, and suddenly understood Shang Ke's reluctance to come to the dockyard.

"I'll just say, it's fate to meet thousands of miles away!" Miss Cao was obviously very happy, "I have talked to you many times in front of my aunt, and she has always said that you want to look at each other, you came just in time, go, go with me to see my aunt!" โ€

As he spoke, he happily pulled Shang Ke's collar and dragged him all the way to the backyard.

"Wait...... That one...... Miss Cao ...... "Shang Ke was pulled and struggled all the way, looking at the Keishui Leopard and me for help.

An unscrupulous leopard first frowned and shook his head to express deep sympathy, and then spread his hands to show that he was helpless.

I couldn't help laughing, and with the leopard, followed Shang Ke to the backyard.

Entering the arch, I saw Miss Cao pulling Shang Ke all the way to the west, and entered a courtyard with two entrances and four courtyards, thinking that it was Boss Xu's inner house; A house to the east is the quarters of the dock guys; Looking further to the north, there is a garden with a large area, there is no shortage of pavilions and water pavilions, and there is even a rockery in the northernmost part.

"Boss Xu is not only prosperous in business, but also an elegant person." I couldn't help but ask.

"Where do we Boss Xu care about this." The guy said, "It's just that the proprietress likes it, so Boss Xu spent a lot of money to build this garden for her, and he is not short of money." โ€

I bowed my head and said, "It's a deep relationship." โ€

At this time, I only heard Miss Cao's crisp voice from the inner house: "Brother Shang! Brother Shang, where did you go? โ€

Now that Shang Ke has managed to get out, I and the Keishui Leopard have also taken the opportunity to leave.

In the Caoyun Administration, Shang Ke was stared at very uncomfortably by the Jishui leopard with a smile on his face, and his face was green.

"Then Miss Cao, who is it?"

Shang Ke's forehead jumped, and he reluctantly replied: "The daughter of Lord Cao's family." โ€

The unscrupulous leopard let out a very meaningful "oh" and patted Shang Ke on the shoulder, "I actually caught the daughter of the boss's family, little junior brother, you are out of breath!" โ€

Shang Ke's face turned green and purple: "Senior brother still talks cool things!" I avoid her every day......"

"Avoid? What to avoid? The leopard put on an elder's positive color, "Anyway, you are not too young, you forgot to go back last time to congratulate the master on his birthday, how did he mention you?" said that if you don't bring him a disciple back, he will expel you from the sect and deny you again. โ€

I almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, thinking that if there are disciples, there must be teachers, and they will be ...... Well, it's full of wonders.

But I heard Shang Ke choke back: "Is that me?" It's you, senior brother! โ€

Jishui Leopard choked and waved his hand indifferently: "No matter who you say, in short, it is a serious matter for you to marry a wife and have children to inherit the lineage." I see that Miss Cao, fifteen or sixteen years old, looks like a peach and plum with a cheerful personality, and it is rare to be infatuated with you, what are you not satisfied with? โ€

"I ......" Shang Ke was about to cry, "If you want to say that your appearance is okay, but just now, didn't the senior brother see it?" She ......" he stretched out his hand and tapped the position of his temple, "Everyone in Fengtian Mansion knows it, otherwise how could it be that you can't get married after the year of Jilu." โ€

I suddenly realized: this Miss Cao, there is something wrong with her mind. Come to think of it, but any normal girl will not dress herself up from head to toe in bright yellow, like a big yellow duck.

"Oh!" The Jishui Leopard threw an infinitely sympathetic look at Shang Ke, "I just saw that she shot like lightning, and her martial arts were excellent, but I didn't expect ......"

"Although Miss Cao is mentally incomplete, she is a martial arts wizard, and she has been guided by masters since she was a child...... That's what frustrates me the most! Shang Ke pinched his eyebrows in frustration, "If you don't listen to what you say, you can't beat ......."

"Hit, no, pass?" The Keishui leopard jumped up as if his tail had been burned, and slapped Shang Ke on the back of the head, "Do you lose the face of the master?" How did I teach you back then, brother? โ€

"All you taught me was underwater kung fu." Shang Ke rubbed his head, lowered his head and said depressedly, "I can't drag a yellow flower girl into the water to compete......"

I instantly made up that image in my mind, it was so beautiful that I didn't dare to look at it......

Seeing that Shang Ke was forced to cry without tears by his unscrupulous senior brother, I really couldn't bear to relieve him: "Two, let's let Miss Cao go first and talk about the case?" โ€

Shang Ke nodded busily, looking at me with an expression of "Guanyin Bodhisattva saves suffering".

"Brother Shang, I have two questions about Boss Xu: first, he is in Fengtian City, but he still has real estate; Second, in addition to the wife of the main room, does he have a wife and concubine? โ€

"Yes." Shang Ke was a little unaware of my two questions, "Boss Xu is also one of the richest people in Fengtian Mansion, and there are not more than ten mansions, but there are also seven or eight places. As for wives and concubines, according to the placement of one in each house, you can imagine. โ€

A bunch of houses and a bunch of wives are really typical nouveau riche. I nodded, "As I expected." โ€

"Xiao Yue saw a problem with this Boss Xu?"

I analyzed it with them: "Let's go to the dockyard today, and we won't see anything in the front yard, except that the warehouse is cleverly burned, and we'll talk about that later." I glanced up at Shang Ke, "It just so happened that Brother Shang was dragged by Miss Cao...... Uh, please go into the backyard, we were able to follow up and take a look, and I feel that he has a great way to do it in his backyard! โ€

As I spoke, dipping my fingertips in tea, I roughly drew a layout map of the dockyard backyard on the desk, "The west side of the backyard is Boss Xu's inner house, the east side is the guy's dormitory, and to the north, a huge piece is an exquisite garden. I asked the guy at the time, and he said that this garden was built because Mrs. Xu liked it, so the question is......"

I turned to Shang Ke and asked, "Brother Shang, does it know if Mrs. Xu lives in the backyard of the dock all year round?" โ€

"Probably not," Shang Ke scratched his head and thought about it, "The Xu family still has an ancestral house in Fengtian City, Boss Xu's parents are still there, and Mrs. Xu, as the eldest daughter-in-law, should serve by her in-laws' side." โ€

I tapped the table with my fingertips: "In other words, Mrs. Xu does not always live in the backyard of the dock, which is one of them; Second, according to what Brother Shang just said, Boss Xu's wives and concubines are grouped, which shows that he and Mrs. Xu are really not a couple. โ€

Shang Ke didn't know what to say: "So what? โ€

"Therefore, the garden in the backyard of the dock was not built by Boss Xu for his wife at all! If he had the heart to build a garden for his wife, he could have built it in the Xu family's ancestral house, or in any of his properties in Fengtian City, instead of in the backyard of the dock on the outskirts of the city and with a very poor environment!

If we consider him rich and capricious, if he has to build a garden for his wife in the backyard of the dock, he should also build it in his inner house, not in the common area between the inner house and the men's quarters like this. In this way, if his wife and family want to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, they may meet the dock buddies unexpectedly. The so-called men and women do not kiss, how embarrassing this meeting is, you can imagine. โ€

After listening to my analysis of this, Shang Ke still had a stunned and cute expression: "...... So? โ€

The Mishui leopard on the side couldn't help but glance at him: "How did you get into our high-IQ team?" โ€

Shang Ke said embarrassedly: "I just don't understand, what is the relationship between his reasonable and unreasonable garden and our case?" โ€

"It is precisely because of the unreasonable cultivation of his garden," Ji Shui Leopard reluctantly reminded his junior brother, "It is enough to show that this garden is just a disguise, and there must be a mystery hidden in it."

In contact with our previous analysis, during the docking and repair of the ship at the Xu family's dock, the Japanese warriors had a big fight with the dock guys and deliberately set fire, all of which were colluded between the Japanese and Boss Xu in advance, in order to cover people's eyes, and their real purpose was to take advantage of the chaos to transfer the things on the ship! โ€

"Oh!" Shang Ke's eyes widened in surprise, and after thinking for a while, his IQ finally went online, "Yes, the things on the ship of the Japanese people were still there before Fengtian, but they disappeared when they arrived in Jinling City, and during this period, only when they were in the dock, it was the best time to transfer!" โ€

"That's right." I threw him an approving look, "But there are more than a hundred wooden chests on the ship, and a rash transfer will inevitably attract attention, and the best way is through the secret passage." At that time, the front yard of the dock was chaotic, attracting most people to come, and no one paid attention to the backyard. Therefore, it is enough to deduce that the secret passage for the transfer of the box is in the backyard. โ€

I tapped my fingertips on the diagram on the table: "Nine times out of ten, somewhere in this very unreasonable garden!"

After I finished making some deductions, Shang Ke looked at me with a look in his eyes, which can only be described as "worshipping the five bodies to the ground".

"It's just that it's a matter of life, Boss Xu must hide this secret passage very well, how can we find out the location of the secret passage?"

As soon as the leopard's question was raised, my eyes immediately darkened: "Is this...... Let me think again. โ€

That night, Shang Ke arranged the Jishui Leopard and I at the official post in Fengtianfu.

I was troubled by the method of spying on the secret passage of the dock, and after thinking for a long time I could not come up with a feasible way, so I simply put on my cloak and paced in the courtyard of the official post.

"The so-called speed is not reached, I can't think of it today, why not think about it tomorrow?" Suddenly, the sound of a water leopard came from beside him.

"I couldn't sleep left and right, so I went out for a walk."

He turned his head and looked at me meaningfully: "The last time we met, I only knew that Xiao Yue was a strange woman who valued love and righteousness, was brave and decisive, and had a good water nature. Goodbye this time, I feel that you are as wise as a torch and smart. No wonder Kui Wood Wolf once praised you, you are the female Zhuge of the world. โ€

When I heard the name of a certain wolf, my heart suddenly tightened.

"I haven't been in Jinling City a few days ago, and I haven't seen this wolf for a long time, is he okay?"
