At this moment, Qin Fang's loud voice came from outside the courtyard: "Brother Li, you take a rest under the corridor, and then enter the courtyard after the wine is over, and you don't have to teach your wife to scold you again."

"It's your business, Lao Tzu followed Madame several years ago. Just eat two pots of wine, and it's your turn to get the dog that was picked up by the lady halfway to teach Lao Tzu a lesson? You're so capable, you're going to hire someone to move the goods!"

"Knock", "knock" a few times, apparently the sound of a chair being kicked over.

At the opening of the courtyard gate, Li Daniu staggered in with a horseskin wine bag in one hand and a large piece of braised pig's trotters in the other.

Hua Er's heart ran over and closed the door.

Li Daniu regained his solemnity.

Zheng Haizhu looked up and asked him, "Someone is following you?"

"Yes, ma'am. The guy was raw, but he had been following me since the pond pier. Fortunately, my wife explained first, and I pretended to go to the dock for my own shop to recruit a husband and look for a warehouse, and I made my temper hot and stupid, and quarreled with others a few times, and then went to buy wine and eat. Lao Qin's drama has also been done enough."

Zheng Haizhu nodded, glanced at several of his subordinates, and emphasized again: "If we stare at others, the other party may not know how to stare at us. In fact, you must be alert and good at disguise than the "night does not collect" in the border army. Whoever goes out to do errands and behaves should be the same."

Chen Sanni, Xu Wei and others should all be called yes.

Li Daniu also immediately turned to the topic and reported two incidents.

"Madame, the ship that has been rampant has never returned, this is one of them. Second, the goods of the Xu family that night have not been moved in the warehouse."

"What is it that poked out?"

"I don't dare to ask more about the Lifu who carried it that night and the one who opened the warehouse at the dock, for fear of being exposed. But it shouldn't be a Cantonese cloth. If there are goods left at Jishuitan Wharf, ninety percent of them are cargo owners supported by officials who have surveyed and cooperated, and silk cloth and tea are expensive and will not last long."

Zheng Haizhu said: "Well, Wang Wenyan's people told me when they came back that night, they heard the sailors shouting at Lifu to be careful, saying that it was porcelain. Porcelain is not as good luck as silk and satin cloth, surnamed Xu's own family has a boat to go to Haojing (Macau), if he wants to sell porcelain in Ganzhou and Guangfu, he sells it to the Franky people is not profitable and convenient, why bother to take the canal trek. By the way, Da Niu, I also just learned that the ship was actually naturalized in Songjiang in my name."

Li Daniu was taken aback, and then glared at him and analyzed, "Songjiang can speak for his wife, is it Miss Wang?" At the moment, it seems that the new ship that Yi Mao is wanton with is not made by Miss Wang in the name of her wife? She also took the firearms out of the warehouse and went to Liaodong and Fujian. Xu Gongzi was actually involved with her, and they knew each other? So, is it our firearms on board? They're going to steal and sell our firearms for money?"

Zheng Haizhu did not show any disappointment in the judgment of his subordinates.

At least, five or six percent of them are right.

is also a hunter, she has seen a pack of wolves in her eyes, and her subordinates have only seen two bears digging together, not that her subordinates are stupid, the lack of God's perspective and the lack of information they have mastered.

Zhu Qianju will definitely come back by boat in the next few days, Zheng Haizhu firmly believes this.

Zheng Haizhu then directly instructed a few people: "Xu Wei, bring me a set of your clothes and hats. Da Niu and I will go to Liu Dudu now. Sanni put on my clothes, covered her face with a hat, and sat in the cart in the shop with Hua Er. Hua Er shouted at the door and said that he wanted to buy Chongyang's cakes. Actually, I went to the Ma Mansion on Qipan Street and asked Miss Fengyi if I knew when General Qin would arrive in Beijing. The other brothers stayed in the shop, stockpiling goods for Qin's shopkeeper, staring at the alleys around them, remembering the faces of idlers and merchants."

"Yes, ma'am."

After the Jishuitan Wharf, there are still passenger and cargo ships docked from time to time.

But unless there are grain ships, or cargo ships with raw faces, most ships are as quiet as cattle lying in sheds.

The officials did not urge the unloading of the grain, or the tax collectors did not come to take stock and inspect, and in this cold season, everyone preferred to rest on the ship for a night and then start work at dawn.

Luo Yangxing was dressed in a short shirt, holding an embroidered spring knife, looking at the dock from afar.

Beside him, stood the cronies that his father Luo Sigong had given him, as well as sticky stubble

's Zheng Haizhu is also dressed in the same way.

After a while, a brocade-clothed guard ran back and reported, "Young Master Luo, there is that boat in the record of the banknote tonight."

"Where's the approximate mooring?"

Jin Yiwei pointed in the direction.

Luo Yangxing and Zheng Haizhu were both excited.

After only staring at it for two days, it arrived.

Zheng Haizhu calculated the time of the first report of the Wang family, recalled his experience of several voyages on the canal, and said to Luo Yangxing: "In just these few days, it is impossible to go to Songjiang again."

Luo Yangxing recognized: "The wind at this time, coupled with the bunching of boats, even if you don't stop to go back and forth, this ship can't reach Jining Qianguan in the south."

Zheng Haizhu said, "Let's open an investigation?"

After a while, Luo Yangxing led the team, went directly into the Yamen of Jishuitan Banknote, lit the waist card of the Jinyi Guard, and said to the Xu official on duty at night: "The female cadres of the Wenxiang Sect have entered Beijing, and there are land and water routes, and the Jinyi Guard checks the boat and lights the torch for Lao Tzu!"

Xu Zhi's head buzzed.

Every year in autumn, if the Gyeonggi and Hebei areas fail to collect taxes, and the officials of all sizes force them tighter, most of them will make some kind of rebellion against the Xiangxiang Sect.

Xu didn't dare to look at the embroidered spring knife on the waist of these evil gods for the second time, nodded and agreed, and shouted at the pawns who were passing the banknotes, and hurriedly opened the way like a little ghost, lighting a lantern to guide the way for the Jinyi Wei Yanluo.

Luo Yangxing whispered to Zheng Haizhu: "I'll take two people on this big ship first, you and the rest of the brothers stand on the shore and keep an eye on that ship, if anyone comes out, the brothers in Weili will intercept it."

"Okay."

Zheng Haizhu raised his eyes and looked at the large and small ships in the river harbor, and many of them had already lit up their lanterns because they heard the movement on the shore.

Including the ship with his own name, "Oto-mao".

A man who looks like a sailor, standing under a lantern on the deck, seems to be visiting.

Soon the lights and candles in the cabin were lit.

The suffocating person is photocopied on the pane.

"These two brothers, please lean in with me and take a look." Zheng Haizhu said to the people left behind by Luo Yangxing.

The two brocade guards looked like they were handling cases, and walked forward with a servant.

Zheng Haizhu soon heard the faint sound of the piano, coming from the target cabin.

Most of the people with the surname Xu are in the boat?

She slowed her pace, waited for the servant's shouting to pull away a little, and continued to listen.

Listening to this, Zheng Haizhu narrowed her eyes and bit her lip involuntarily.

She was sure she had heard it a few years ago in Baishayu in Penghu.

It comes from the hand of the Japanese monk Yonghai.

You can't go wrong! Because the melody was mixed with strange and exotic semitones, not at all like the qin music that the scribes of Nanzhili often talked about, Zheng Haizhu thought it was written by a Japanese, but Yonghai told her that he had learned it from a descendant of the Tang dynasty in Java.

Zheng Haizhu saw that the hull of the ship was shaking slightly, and obviously, there were also people on the deck on the other side of the river bank.

The sound of the piano became louder and louder, and the officials who came over to count the boats even muttered: "Yo, which official's boat is this, it's really fucking Yaxing."

Zheng Haizhu suddenly realized that the sound of the piano may be to hide other movements.

After thinking about it, Luo Yangxing brought someone over, and asked the official, "Which state capital is this?"

"Master, it's Nan Zhili."

"Go in and ask questions, just like the ships in front, don't miss anyone."

Luo Yangxing commanded in a rough voice, and Yu Guang confirmed that Zheng Haizhu was nearby, so he walked onto the pallet.

The piano stopped.

On the gangway, several sailors stood with their heads bowed.

Luo Yangxing looked at the brightly lit cabin and said angrily, "What? Do you want Lao Tzu to go down and say goodbye? Let you speakers come up!"

"The military master is angry, and he is accompanying his friends to travel in Beijing."

Zhu Qianju carried his robe and walked onto the deck.

Luo Yangxing saw Zheng Haizhu mixed in the brocade guard, suddenly moved, walked to the bow of the boat, pretended to investigate, and returned again.

Zheng Haizhu can't open his mouth brightly

The female voice can only be used with a pre-agreed code.

He knew in his heart that the person in front of him was the Xu Gongzi that Mrs. Zheng said.

Luo Yangxing snorted coldly and ordered two brocade guards: "You go down and search, no one is allowed in the cabin."

Suddenly, a few more people came up.

Luo Yangxing was looking at the road guide that Zhu Qianxuan took out: "Surname Xu? Cantonese? That's a good official saying. How come there are still boats in Matsue?"

"If you go back to the military master, my father is a businessman, and Yu Nanzhili also has some friends, so I borrowed a boat for use."

Luo Yang "snapped" and led the way to Zhu Qianju's hand, turned to the few people who came up behind him, and took a torch to shine it.

has followed his father Luo Sigong for many years, the tiger who commanded the Jinyi Guard, swallows water on weekdays, and when he is in battle, it is not difficult to pick out the one with a look and face that looks like a leader from a few people.

Luo Yangxing then said to a middle-aged man, "Show me your way."

The middle-aged man respectfully presented it.

"From the Hokkien Prefecture? Speak."

"The military master is healthy, in a small family, he has always had business dealings with Xu Gongzi, and this time we went to Beijing to see and see for a long time."

Luo Yang pursed his lips sarcastically, turned his head to his subordinates, and said, "This bird language, when you hear it, it's from the Nanban side, it sounds really hard."

Suddenly, his face sank: "Reach out and see."

The middle-aged man hurriedly shook the sleeves of his robe and honestly stretched out his palms.

A brocade guard stepped forward to inspect it and said, "There are no thick calluses."

Luo Yangxing snorted sullenly, and then took the torch in front of the faces of several people, and stayed for a while, until he heard the Jinyi guard in the cabin report that he had not found anything suspicious such as Bingge, and then turned to Zhu Qianhu, and said indifferently: "You are a gentleman who does business, right? Lao Tzu is for the court tonight to investigate the incense sect, where the offense is, you should bear with it, don't go back to this and that old man to complain."

Zhu Qianju humbly bowed his hand: "The military master is serious. When we came to the north, we have also heard about the dangers of smelling incense. The military master is so conscientious, and we good citizens are really grateful."

Luo Yangxing held the shelf and stood still.

Zheng Haizhu said in his heart, Luo Gongzi's acting skills are really good.

Sure enough, Zhu Qianju seemed to react, and hurriedly took out the blanket in his arms and handed it to a brocade guard: "Brothers work hard, buy you some wine to drink and warm your body."

Only then did Luo Yangxing speak: "Go to the next boat to check."
