Chapter Seventy-Two: The Show Begins
Li You was in tattered clothes, leaning against the wall of the dock, looking lazy. Wang Miao and Liu Ya sat on Li You's left, whispering head to head, giggling from time to time.
Li You glanced at the greasy and crooked two, and knew that the relationship between Wang Miao and Liu Ya had taken another step.
Although Li You was happy for Wang Miao, his mood was not relaxed.
Why is there a 15-day gap between arrivals?
This is a question that Li You has been unable to figure out.
Although the facts have proved to be accurate for fifteen days, there must be a reason behind such an ironclad law.
Li You has learned that from Shengtang County to Yangzhou, it will take about ten days if the wind is smooth, and if there is bad weather, it will be possible to arrive in twelve days. So, these fifteen days were not the reason for the voyage. So what is the reason for this? Is this law still accurate today?
Li You looked up at the sun. It was already about 14 o'clock in the afternoon, and although several ships had arrived in the port one after another, none of them were Yao Buwei's cargo ships.
If you don't allow it this time, how can you explain it to Wang Lang? How should this scene directed by himself end?
At this time, Li You just wanted to end the case as soon as possible, and then devote all his energy to the ghoul case.
Judging from the current situation, compared with the case of the Linghu family selling illicit salt, the ghoul case has become more important and urgent. Because this case has been linked to the elixir of immortality, it is closely related to the mission entrusted to him by Teacher Gaotao. And in this case, Li You always felt that he was missing something. However, he really couldn't think of what it was.
"Your Excellency, haven't you arrived yet?"
Yuan Gang walked up to Li You, squatted down, and threw a copper coin into the bowl in front of Li You. Yuan Gang was dressed as a porter, but because he had Buddhist beads around his neck, his chest looked bulging, and his appearance made people feel a little funny.
"Nope."
"Will it not come?"
"No!"
Although Li You didn't know the bottom in his heart, he couldn't let Yuan Gang know, so as not to mess up the army's morale.
"Brother and sister Ouyang?"
"I'm going shopping in Lingang Lane!"
"What?" Li You's face was angry. Everyone is getting sunburned here, and the two of them actually went shopping, it's too much!
"These two people, unorganized and undisciplined!"
"What are you talking about, sir?"
"Oh, it's fine."
"My lord, are you stunned by the sun?" Yuan Gang made a gesture to touch Li You's head, but Li You immediately dodged backwards. "In case something unexpected happens..."
"They say you have whistle arrows..."
"Okay."
In fact, Li You can still understand the performance of the Ouyang brothers and sisters.
Although this case involves the Linghu family, it is essentially just a power struggle between people. No matter how famous Hu Ji is, in the eyes of cultivators, he is just an ordinary man. The reason why the Ouyang brothers and sisters participated, first of all, was because of their own face, and secondly, because there were demons and Buddhist disciples among them. Otherwise, they would definitely use the Heavenly Law as an excuse to investigate the ghoul case.
Brainless! People who claim to be righteous people are all brainless!
Just when Li You was secretly complaining, a passenger ship with red glazed tiles slowly sailed into the port.
After Li You saw it, he immediately came to his senses, because he couldn't be more familiar with this ship.
It's finally time to begin!
Li You's hanging heart also fell to the ground temporarily.
Solve this case as soon as possible, and then gather all your strength to deal with the ghoul case with all your might.
I don't know why, the more it drags on, the more Li You feels panicked, and it seems that if he doesn't rescue Wei Miaoer as soon as possible, something serious will happen.
………
After the passenger ship with glazed tiles came to a stop, Yao Buwei was the first to walk out of the cabin. After seeing him walk out, he immediately retreated to the side of the exit, stretched out his hand to lift the door curtain, and looked respectful.
What kind of big man can make Yao not so polite?
Now that Ling Hu has arrived, there should be only one person who can make Yao Buwei such a servant.
Salt Envoy - Weekly Serving!
Sure enough!
A young man stepped out of the cabin.
Although this man is dressed as a scholar, whether it is the way he walks or the way he looks at people, he has a sense of invincibility.
At this moment, the door of the dock management office was pushed open, and Ling Hu Jian actually walked out of it.
When did he arrive!
Li You was taken aback.
Before dawn, he waited here with Wang Miao and Liu Ya, and did not see Ling Huji's arrival during the period. In this way, Ling Fox always felt before himself, and then hid in the room of the management office, waiting for the arrival of Zhou Fu.
Then, he must have a lot to do with the head of the management office. The matter of sending someone to work at the dock, Ling Fox should already know.
It's okay to trick Wang Guan into a trick called Hanako, but he shouldn't be able to fool Ling Hu. That Ling Fox should have known that he had found out the secret of the 15th.
But why did he insist on arriving in Hong Kong today?
Isn't the timing of the shipment out of his control?
Or does he have some deeper plans?
Now that the arrow is ready to be fired, let's wait for the cargo ship to be arrested, and then improvise.
When Li You thought of this, he immediately motioned for Yuan Gang to approach, and Yuan Gang hurriedly leaned over. "Immediately inform Ouyang Jian's brothers and sisters, the main drama is about to be staged!"
"Yes!" Yuan Gang looked excited, turned around and ran towards the port exit.
On the top of the trestle, Ling Hu Jian had already walked into the room of the dock management office with Zhou Fu's arm in his arms. Yao Buwei and Wang Guantou followed behind the two, all of them in the posture of following the minions.
The Linghu family is really good!
Li You sighed, then turned his attention back to the passenger ship, waiting for Yao Lan and Yao Jin to appear. According to past practice, Yao Lan and Yao Jin should also be on board
However, after another ten minutes, the passenger ship turned away from the pier.
Li You was puzzled.
Could it be that something went wrong with the second daughter?
"Your Excellency!"
Yuan Gang returned to Li You's side, and Li You hurriedly retracted his thoughts.
Behind Yuan Gang, the Ouyang brothers and sisters were holding an umbrella by themselves, looking like they were going out for a spring outing.
"Oh, Childe, Miss, poor and pitiful." Li You said this, stretched out his hand and picked up the broken bowl in front of him, and handed it to the two of them.
Ouyang Jian turned his head, too lazy to deal with Li You, while Ouyang Yan had a disdainful expression. "I said Li You, how long will you have to play this play!"
"It's coming, it's coming." Li You was bored with himself, but he was indeed a little annoyed with the two, and he immediately showed an impatient expression. "The actors have arrived, so the stage shouldn't be too far away."
Sure enough, it was as Li You expected. In the middle of the channel, a cargo ship came into view. On top of the cargo ship, dozens of sacks were piled up, and the sacks were covered with thick coats.
It was the same cargo ship that last delivered the goods.
It's finally time for the show.
………
The cargo ship slowly sailed into the harbor and stopped at the edge of the trestle.
The surrounding workers saw the cargo on the ship and immediately surrounded it.
Yao Buwei's butler Wang You walked out of the cabin and looked at the workers around him impatiently. "Go away! Go away! ”
"I said big housekeeper, can't you let us get a little light from such a big deal outside Yao?"
"That's it! It is! ”
"Stained? The porridge shed outside our family has been giving up porridge for many years, and you have less light to touch our family. ”
"One yard to one yard."
"That's it!" "That's it!"
While there was a commotion on the docks, two carriages approached. More than a dozen big men walked out of the other rooms of the dock management office, pushed aside the dock workers who surrounded them, and stepped onto the cargo ship.
Judging from the current situation, Ling Hu seems to be in a state of complete ignorance and being slaughtered.
However, the more this is the case, the more bottomless Li You's heart becomes.
Which one is this? Could it be that Ling Fox is cheating?
If you cheat, why do you want to invite Zhou Fu to come?
If so, why should he be there himself?
"Childe?" Wang Miao saw that Li You was slow to send a signal, worried that he had missed the opportunity, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to urge.
"The soldiers are coming, I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in the gourd!"
Li You no longer hesitated, and took out the whistle arrow in his arms and shot it into the air.
Sou!
Rumble!
There was a loud sound of whistle arrows, and everyone on the dock looked left and right, not knowing what was happening.
A moment later, a team came running from the entrance to the dock and behind the management office. Each team of more than 100 people, armed with spears and short knives, ran straight towards the cargo ship. The direction of the wharf of the management office is headed by a military general in military uniform, which should be Zhao Mingwei, the envoy of the Xuanwu Army. Assassin Wang Lang, accompanied by his subordinates, walked behind the line in the direction of the dock.
Now that his cards have been played, he has guessed one or two of his cards, but I don't know if there are any other cards hidden in his hand.
"Miao'er, change clothes!"
"Hmm."
Now that everyone's attention was attracted to the cargo ship, Li You hurriedly took off his coat, changed into neat clothes, wiped the stains on his face with a damp cloth, and walked towards the cargo ship with Wang Miao, Yuan Gang and others.
"Stop it all!"
Before Zhao Mingwei arrived at the cargo ship first, he yelled at the big men who were moving the goods immediately.
Wang Fu was taken aback by the formation in front of him, but after all, he was a person who was used to going south and north, so he hurriedly ran to Zhao Mingwei's horse. "Oh, this adult, the grass people have offended the adults somehow, and please have a lot of Haihan."
"Where's the offense? That's the offense! Zhao Mingwei was unceremoniously, pulled out the saber on his waist, and slashed at a sack on the carriage, and the sack was immediately cut out of a big hole.
"Whoa..."
The salt of the white flower flower flowed out of the bag.
"Ahh "Ouch!" "Salt!" "Oh my God! Private salt! ”
Wang You was shocked, and the workers were taken by surprise. was originally a complex problem, but it was easily solved by Zhao Mingwei's simple knife.
Compared with the way civilian officials deal with it, sometimes the military attaché's volley may be more effective.
Li You heard the shouts of the workers, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Ling Huxuan, now that the human and material evidence is there, I see how you can deny it!
