Midnight!

A group of sneaky people touched the edge of the Yellow River, and they were all much fatter than during the day.

Of course, it is not that they are really fat, their clothes are stuffed with gold and silver.

After they planned to escape, they changed their faces and lived a new life, and the silver ticket was numbered and easily traced.

So they exchanged all the silver tickets for gold and silver, and hid them in the sandwich of their clothes, and wrapped them in cotton to avoid bumping and making a noise.

"There it is!"

They quickly found the boat designated by the sword master, with a yellow flag and a white cloth.

"There's no one in there."

They cautiously boarded the ship, all huddled together, counted the number of people, and all of them were all there, except for the sword master.

"I always feel that something is wrong, you say, the knife master has a way, why didn't you say it earlier, he didn't say it until we forced him."

"I guess he wants to run on his own."

"Humph! We can't run, and he doesn't want to go. ”

"Why hasn't the sword master come yet?"

"Wait a little longer."

They waited for about a quarter of an hour.

Suddenly.

"Look, the water is up, it seems to be where the knife master lives." Someone shouted in one direction.

He didn't need to remind him, the rest of the people could see it.

The fire was blazing, and it was burning red and bright.

The docks were basically made of wood to avoid fire, so they called the fire water.

They were still in the firelight, and they saw a lot of figures, basically all of them were people from the land wanderer, more than usual.

It should be the hidden person who was attracted to the fire.

Suddenly.

The sound of firefighting, fighting, shouting, crying, one after another, came from all directions, and the entire Xiaguandi wharf became a pot of rotten porridge.

"The sword master won't be discovered by them."

"If they really want to catch the knife master, it is estimated that it will be our turn."

"Then we ......"

"Let's go, let's go now, don't wait."

"The sword master asks for more blessings!"

Together, they lifted the white cloth, untied the ropes on the boat, and rowed desperately to support the chaos, but no one cared about them, and rushed out.

Almost as soon as their small boat left the harbor, two large ships on the left and right set out together, and came over.

Look back.

Two more ships caught up behind.

"We've been tricked!"

"They've been in ambush here for a long time, we're done!"

"Stop!"

Their boat was originally going downstream, wrapped in the current of the Yellow River, and it was so easy to stop.

Bang.

It collided directly with the big ship that intercepted them, and the small boat shook violently, without waiting for the boat to stabilize.

It was as if something had smashed on their ship again.

The people on the boat looked up.

The officials of Jiuyuan had already jumped from the big ship to their ship, and they were chased back and forth, and there was no way to escape.

Ha ha!

Lu Youqi laughed and came out, "I know that you want to escape, do you think you can deceive this mansion by setting fire to it and making a noise?" ”

Thump!

Everyone was crushed by the gold and silver on their bodies, and their faces were colorless and dead.

It's all over!

"Bring it on!" Lu Youqi ordered.

In this wave, twelve people were arrested, and more than 130 taels of gold were obtained, more than 700 taels of silver, and there were some silver tickets that were not exchanged, probably about a thousand taels.

"Why is it so little?"

Lu Youqi frowned, these people have been in business for several years, not to mention that there is a million dirty money, there should always be seven or eight hundred thousand.

There can be absolutely no more than that.

"Yu Taishou, I didn't find Governor Guo Dao, he wasn't on the boat."

"Report! Report! ”

At this time, a clipper rushed over, but it couldn't stop, and it hit the big ship directly, and there was a messenger on board.

"Report too much, Guo Dao ran away with people, in the direction of Yunzhong, there are too many of them, we can't stop them!"

Those who were captured only understood in their hearts at this moment that they were all betrayed by the sword master, and this is the real sound.

They were taken as a temptation to lead out of the ambush of the land rover, and then he took the opportunity to escape.

"It's broken!"

Lu Youqi's face was pale, and he sat on the deck, and he messed up again about what the prince confessed.

also let the mastermind Guo Dao run away!

He wants to die, and he finally got the appointment of the prince, this is his only chance to turn over.

It's just that messed up!

Syllable!

Lu Youqi slapped himself in remorse.

Next!

Lu Youqi returned to Jiuyuan City, returned to Taishou Mansion, and came to Li Huai's study.

Plop down on your knees!

"The sinner greets the prince!"

He originally wanted to jump directly into the Yellow River, but after thinking about it, he felt that he still had an obligation to come back and tell the news to the prince.

Afterwards...... Still at the disposal!

Li Huai didn't raise his head and asked, "Did you mess up?" ”

"The sinner is useless, let the mastermind Guo Dao escape." Lu Youqi lowered his head and said.

"In which direction?"

"Cloud ...... Direction in the clouds. ”

"How did you run?" Li Huai continued to ask.

Lu Youqi sorted out what happened last night and told Li Huai to listen to it, which was the simplest sound.

First set fire to the house to attract attention, and then instructed his accomplice to escape, leading him to the scheme.

In the end, Guo Dao and his men all fled in the direction of Yunzhong on horseback, and they threw copper plates and broken silver and silver tickets as they ran.

The surrounding people were all lying on the ground and rushing wildly, blocking the pursuing team, and as soon as the smoke slipped away, Guo Dao disappeared.

Guo Dao only cares about his life, and he shouldn't have taken much money.

However, most of the silver tickets were burned in that fire.

Loss...... Heavy!

It can only be described as tragic, at least more than 200,000 silver tickets were burned to ashes.

After listening to him, Li Huai couldn't help sighing, first Tian Qing was so stirred, Jiuyuan, which was already poor, would not be able to recover the economy in at least half a year.

Now this fire has burned more than 200,000 silver tickets, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury, and this is burning the operating funds of Xiaguandi Wharf.

If he wants the dock to continue to resume operation, Li Huai can only go to Shangguan Keke and ask her to pay for this shortage.

"The dock still works, right?" Li Huai asked tentatively, if the dock was burned, then he would vomit blood.

Lu Youqi nodded, "The fire didn't spread, it only burned Guo Dao's residence, and the dock is still intact." ”

"That's good."

This is acceptable.

Li Huai raised his head and said, "You have worked hard this month, you are allowed to rest for two days, three days at most, and then go back to the Xiaguandi Wharf." ”

Lu Youqi raised his head in surprise, "Lord Wang, I let go of Guo Dao and suffered such a huge loss, ...... Please punish the prince! ”

The corners of Li Huai's mouth hooked up a smile, "I don't blame you, this king has indeed given you a little less people, go down and rest." ”

Lu Youqi heard something else, and he saw Li Huai's weird and even more coquettish smile.

seems to have read a sentence: This king just knew that you couldn't do it, so he deliberately let you go.

Li Huai's next sentence confirmed his guess.

"Guo Dao will actually flee to the clouds, interesting!"

"Minister...... Retire! ”

Lu Youqi left the study tremblingly, and his heart was filled with shocking waves!

He came to a startling conclusion.

The prince had long expected this result, and even expected that Guo Dao would set this fire.

So the prince was not in a hurry to arrest people, and came to boil the frog in warm water, forcing Guo Dao to keep coming up with money to repair the Xiaguandi wharf.

Although more than 200,000 silver tickets were burned in one fire, in this month's time, the Xiaguandi Wharf was also repaired from beginning to end.

If he started arresting people as soon as possible, Guo Dao knew that there was no hope of survival, so he would burn the entire Xiaguandi wharf with a fire.

In that way, even if Guo Dao is caught, there is no way to make up for this huge loss.

Let go of Guo Dao and lead out the big fish.

This is the ultimate goal of the prince, and he is just doing some internal things, which is not considered to be an appointment.

Lu Youji rested for the night, and the next day returned to the Xiaguandi Pier. The first thing is to bring in a large amount of river sand and pile it up at the dock to prevent fire.

After this wave.

Xiaguandi Wharf must be on the right track, since the official ferry, then the official ferry should have the rules of the official ferry.

But we can't ignore the lives of the people.

This is the reason why Li Huai asked Lu Youqi to return to the dock of Xiaguandi, he is a dignified guard, if this is not handled well, then he can really stop doing it.

Li Huai seemed to have made some kind of decision, he put the unfinished letter, put it on a candle and lit it, and turned it into ashes.

The letter was addressed to Yang Lingyun.

Since Yang Lingyun sent a letter, Li Huai gave a reply, she replied, and they have been writing each other.

At first, it was just a short sentence, or a few lines, but then there were more and more things to say, and a piece of stationery could not be written.

Li Huai had to admit that after a while in the clouds, a short meeting and a hurried parting made his self-confidence very hit.

He needed a little courage, and Yang Lingyun's reply to him just gave him this kind of courage, making him feel that he could try again.

"I'm going to the Great Wall!"
