Both parties involved in secretly selling and secretly buying iron ore were caught in one fell swoop.
The antidote for Zhan Beihan's poisoned needle was also found, and Xiao Lingyue didn't want to worry about the next steps.
She stayed up all night for two consecutive days and traveled across mountains and rivers. She was really tired and just wanted to take a good rest lazily.
Although the arrest operation was a complete success, there were still many trivial matters left.
for example.
Everyone on the ship who was captured alive, including the man in black who was lucky enough to survive, and other prisoners, will be escorted back and imprisoned for interrogation.
The two suspected ringleaders who were captured alive and unconscious were also interrogated separately.
There are also dilapidated merchant ships that were shot by arrows. The bottom of the ship has begun to seep because it was scratched by water hooks. It is too difficult to repair and I am afraid it will sink soon.
Therefore, before the merchant ship sank, all the prisoners, as well as anything of value on the ship, had to be transferred to three other large ships.
There is also the iron ore that was carried onto the boat by the men in black before on the shoal, which weighs almost a few hundred kilograms. These are the baits used by Zhan Beihan for fishing, and they belong to Beiqin's iron ore.
After the fish is caught, the bait naturally needs to be recovered and taken away, not even a pound less.
In addition to these, there is still the cliff side to deal with.
The bodies of the men in black under the cliff must be cleaned up, the docks must be dismantled, and tools such as pallets must be smashed on the spot to prevent them from being used again.
Wait until these trivial matters are taken care of.
Xiao Lingyue followed Zhan Beihan and moved to the big ship. She leaned on the railing at the edge of the deck and saw that the sky on the top of the mountain was already bright.
The night passed like this.
Xiao Lingyue couldn't help but yawn.
"Are you sleepy?" Zhan Beihan walked up behind her at some point, stood next to her, lowered his eyes and said, "There are rest rooms on the ship. If you are sleepy, just go to sleep."
"What about you?" Xiao Lingyue turned her head and looked at him. A few strands of hair beside her ears were blown by the river wind and fell to the man's face.
Zhan Beihan stretched out his hand and pinched a few strands of hair, stroking them behind her ears: "The matter hasn't been settled yet, don't be in a hurry."
Xiao Lingyue stood still and wrinkled the tip of her nose when she heard this: "A lot of things?"
"It's all trivial matters." Zhan Beihan didn't say much.
Xiao Lingyue didn't ask much.
How to deal with the follow-up matters is a matter of the Northern Qin court, and it is not convenient for her to ask more.
Anyway, with Zhan Beihan in charge, she didn't bother to worry about it.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lingyue asked again: "Where are we going now?"
They are all on the big ship now.
Three ships loaded with soldiers and prisoners were sailing down the Canglan River, not knowing where they were going.
The only dock nearby that can accommodate large ships is Log Town.
However, there are many people in Yuanmu Town, there are many caravans, and there are soldiers and prisoners on their boats. Driving there will definitely disrupt the order of the dock and disturb the people.
What's more, it's easy to leak information.
Xiao Lingyue intuitively knew that Zhan Beihan might have a plan later, and he definitely didn't want the news to leak out in advance.
Zhan Beihan said quietly: "After passing through the mountains, there is a flat terrain. After the boat stops, someone will pick you up. After getting off the boat, go directly to the imperial mausoleum."
"Aren't you going to take Prince Xiang with you?" Xiao Lingyue said in surprise, but also a little amused, "He is still eagerly waiting in the county office."
Zhan Beihan raised his eyebrows: "Let him wait, I will send someone to notify him."
