Chapter 82: The Bamboo Speaks (Part II)
"Master Gao, don't you come to entertain the old man at every turn, can you?" Lord Jiang Duo looked helpless, and finally sent away this unprovoked master, and came back not long after, "The treasury has already turned you upside down, are you still not satisfied?"
"Don't misunderstand the helmsman of Jiang, there is a deal to talk to the helmsman this time" Gao Pet still maintained his smile and took out two large pieces of silver from his arms without hurrying, "Twenty taels of silver, which is the down payment, and the helmsman will transfer it to your gang", and then Gao Pet pushed the silver in front of him forward.

The helmsman of Jiang is also an old man, and he is not in a hurry to pick up the silver, but leisurely shifts his gaze from the silver to Gao Chong, "Ten taels of silver is just a down payment? Such a big deal, please tell me what kind of deal it is? This rudder is just a small fight, and it may not be able to follow."
"There are three boxes of goods sinking under the river, and I need to borrow the main force of your gang to help me salvage," Gao Chong replied
"How much does the cargo weigh?" asked Lord Jiang Helm
"Three hundred to five hundred pounds in a box," Gao Pet said
"This is easy to do, these twenty taels of old man accepted it first, I don't know where are the goods of Gao Gongzi?"
"It's right outside here, under the bottom of the Ganjiang River opposite the Nanchang Wharf!" Gao Zhong said loudly
Master Jiang and Shaoyuan were both taken aback, but the reasons for their surprise were different.
Shaoyuan: "Pet, what you are looking for is here?"
Jiang Duo was shocked: "When has our wharf ever sunk such a large amount of goods into the bottom of the river?"
Gao Zhong waved his hand, signaling the two of them to be calm and not impatient, "Don't worry, I'm just speculating at the moment, but it's already eight or nine years old, Lord Jiang Helm, although a little reluctant to ask, but please send a few guys with good water to sneak into this place of the Ganjiang River, if I expect it to be good, there must be boxes of similar size to the three boxes that disappeared in the warehouse before, if we find it, we will immediately start salvaging those boxes." ”
Master Jiang Duo thought carefully for a while, and suddenly squinted his eyes and asked Gao Chong, "Master Gao, is there something to hide from the old man?"
Gao Zhong met the sharp gaze, "Master Jiang Helm, don't ask about idle things."
Seeing that Gao Zhong was not willing to say more, Jiang Duo didn't want to say more, and didn't ask anything, "When does Gao Gongzi want to salvage?" At present, the wharf only has a small amount of water transportation in autumn and winter, and many guys have gone home, and there are only more than 20 people at the wharf, and if you want to carry a thousand catties of goods, you will need at least twice as many people."
Gao Pet nodded, "Let's start right away, find out the location first, it's not easy to deal with it when it's dark, if you have manpower, it's already on the road at this moment"
Lord Jiang Helm nodded, "Then let's go, I'll send a good water-based guy down now, I hope there is really something that Gongzi said below"
A few guys jumped into the water under the temptation of a tael of silver in the cold winter, Shaoyuan looked at a few people who went into the water, looked at Gao Pet with a serious face, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Pet, why do you guess that box is in the water?"
Gao Zhong pointed to the surroundings, "A box of nearly five hundred catties, there are few people and there is no trace, but the speed is slow." If there are many people and the speed is fast, the traces will definitely not be erased. Not only that, but it rained heavily that night, and the speed was even slower. It's not that I'm holding it up, the dart masters of the Dingyuan Dart Bureau are all elite soldiers who retreat, and it is generally difficult to get rid of them easily. And that night, they not only got rid of it, but also threw it off without a trace, and they could do such a terrible thing, I can only think of the elite of the Northern Army or the Yulinwei of the Imperial City. But they can't appear here, therefore, the other party can be so fast, must have used a method we didn't expect to escape, as the saying goes, the easiest to see is the easiest to ignore, and here, the place we ignore is here, Ganjiang!"
Shao Yuan slapped his thigh, "Yes, you can still walk by water! Then why are you looking for it here? Isn't this just carving a boat to ask for a sword?"
Gao Zhong tilted his head and asked, "Shaoyuan, do you think they took the weapon away?"
Shaoyuan nodded, "Yes, we have found out, why don't you transport it away?"
Gao Zhong said with a smile, "There are a few small problems that you should pay attention to, the first is that since they have worked so hard to transport the weapons over, they will not easily transport them back, and the second is that if they want to transport them away, it will rain heavily and the small boat will not be able to transport them, and the big ship will not be found fast enough, and the third is that so many of them have to flee with them, and the difficulty can be imagined."
Shao Yuan thought for a moment, and after a while, "In other words, those goods are actually still here that night, and even they are here?"
Gao Chong nodded, "That's right, Shao Yuan is right, those goods that we have been looking for for a long time without success are here" Gao Chong pointed to the position where the dock extended, "Under this shore foundation"
At this time, a guy in the river came out of the water, "Helmsman, Gao Gongzi, a box has been found here", and by this, the other two sides also came out, "There is also here" and "Here is also
Gao Zhong smiled slightly, "It's not bad," and then Gao Zhong said loudly, "Brother, are those boxes still tied with cables?"
The first guy who came out laughed and said, "Yes, Gao Gongzi, how do you know?"
Gao Pet just laughed out loud, "Come up and get the reward"
Shao Yuan looked surprised: "Why can you guess this?"
Gao Chong looked at the river and said, "Because they originally planned to push it down, and when they need it, they will re-salvage it, so from this point on, we can take advantage of this."
At this time, Lord Jiang Helm approached Shaoyuan and asked with a look of disbelief, "Master Gao, this matter?"
Gao Chong returned the salute, "Master Jiangrudder, the juniors will give you an explanation for this matter later, now prepare to pull the wheels first, and prepare to pull the box up."
Shaoyuan was still puzzled, "No, Ah Pet, they have to carry so many boxes, many people, can this dock hide so much, and move it so quickly?"
Gao Zhong looked at a bamboo in the distance, "The answer is on that bamboo"
Shaoyuan wondered, "Bamboo?"
Gao Chong nodded, "That's right, Jiangnan Wharf uses more bamboo, but in the warehouse, the stock of bamboo is obviously not much, so I guess that they cut off the bamboo for the wheel, so the reason why there were bamboo crumbs in my trousers at that time is estimated to be left at that time." Using bamboo as a wheel, it didn't take long for 10 people to turn all the boxes into the water. Then they hold the buoyant bamboo, and even though it is rainy, they just lie down in the water on the shore, and then they leave after you are gone. Therefore, it is highly likely that they will be under your noses from beginning to end."
Shao Yuan looked at Shao Yuan's high pet as a monster, "Ah pet, many times, I want to break your brain to see what you are pretending"
"Actually, when I went to the toilet today, I saw the grocery store at the back door of the stock, and they accidentally lost a piece of goods, which was obviously at the foot, and I was inspired by this"
"Fourth son, fourth son, we are coming" Not far away, Luo Fei shouted to this side, and there were Wu Xu and more than 20 dart masters behind him. Gao Zhong then shouted loudly, "Helmsman, can you start salvage?
"One-two, one-two, one-two" It took a whole hour to pull out the three boxes, but they were finally fished out before dark.
Shao Yuan looked around the box carefully, and nodded, "Ah pet, it's these boxes, it's right."
The excitement of Wu Xu and the dart masters was beyond words, and the shame of the day was finally snowing.
Luo Fei immediately gave his hand, "Childe, we will immediately transport these things back to the dart game and take strict care of them, and never let him lose them again."
How do you know that Gao Pet shook his head, "Master Jiangrud, these goods will be taken care of by you, and the money will not be paid less in the next penny, and there is no need to be strictly guarded, just store them in the warehouse."
Master Jiang was also strange, "Master Gao, this is not very good, since it is a dart game, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to put it here."
Gao Pet shook his head, "It's not a dart game, it's my high favorite, you don't need to worry"
"Ah Pet, what are you calling me to do again? Isn't this dock already inspected?" At this time, Dugu Lin had just come to the dock, and found that there were so many people here, so he asked curiously, "What are you doing here?
Shaoyuan spread his hands, "Ah Lin, you missed a wonderful salvage campaign and a wonderful on-site reasoning, I think Ah Pet is not inferior to your six doors Qinglong Hall"
Dugu Lin looked dazed: "What?"
Gao Zhong took out a money bag and handed it to the helmsman of Jiang, "Helmsman, this is the final payment and storage fees, take it, brothers, go back to the house" and then came to Ah Lin's side, and whispered, "Go back to the city, it's a big matter, this is not the place to talk"
