The breeze was still blowing there, and the flag above the head was still swaying, crackling on the wall. Suddenly, in the sky not far away, a bird flew over from the mountain. The bird was white in color.
It almost merged with the white cloud in the sky, but when the bird flapped its wings and fluttered down, it landed directly on the railing of the boat, standing not far from the city manager.
.
The steward's eyes narrowed, and then he looked back at the young man standing behind him. The young man immediately understood and respectfully stepped back. This place had nothing to do with him anymore. He just had to do what the steward told him.
It's enough to understand. When the boy retreated, the steward took a step forward and found a small bamboo tube on the leg of the little bird. When the small bamboo tube was opened, there was a note inside, with not many words written on it.
, after the steward saw that line of words, the corners of his lips suddenly raised, and his smile was extremely weird.
The boat is still moving leisurely here, riding the wind and waves, but it is moving forward with a sense of courage. However, the manager who is nervous here at this moment never thought that the person he was thinking about in his heart had already passed by another way last night.
We took a shortcut and arrived near the harbor in Zhuluo Town.
This harbor is very large. There are main places where the business of loading and unloading ships is carried out, and there are also places where these hardworking people sit and rest. Therefore, there are often some small wooden houses built along the river near the harbor.
, these cabins are very simple, hidden among the tall reeds, looming, these cabins are a temporary resting place for those who do hard work, most of them stay here for half a month, and wait until
After earning almost enough money, they hurriedly went home to rest for a few days, and then came back to work. Some people made the cabin a little more comfortable. After all, the bare commander had to live here permanently.
At this time, in a slightly higher place among the reeds, in this small wooden house that looked slightly clean and tidy, someone was sitting here.
The construction of this wooden house is somewhat clever. Perhaps it was seen by the first batch of people who wanted to live here temporarily, because in this small wooden house, you can look up and see the busy pier not far away.
There are several boats on the pier, and even the people on them are busy there. You can see everything clearly. However, the reed leaves swaying back and forth in front of you just block the view there, which is very strange.
A nice hiding spot.
"A quarter of an hour ago, the steward of the Harbor Club left in a carriage. It is said that there is something to do today. I need to approach some merchants from Nanwan. It is said that there are several big deals to be done." The news came.
At that time, the man who was sitting leisurely by the window with a somewhat lazy look turned his head and looked at it. At this time, the little girl who was leaning there on the bed, closing her eyes to rest, saw him.
The beauty on his face has never receded. When he turned pale, his eyes moved slightly.
Although the little girl with her eyes closed looked like she was asleep, her tone was extremely clear at this time, "If the ship docks for a short rest, the steward on the ship will also get off the ship and go there."
If they go in the same direction, then this matter is definitely not ordinary news?"
There is a guess that came to mind in a hurry on the carriage last night. The guess is that the steward on the ship has colluded with some officials in Zhuluo Town. If not, they want to steal the money quietly on the land of the harbor.
Taking him away was not an easy task, so last night, this man had sent people to follow some officials in charge of the harbor in Zhuluo Town, and as expected, he got this seemingly ordinary news.
After his words fell, the man over there nodded, with a look of deep understanding in his eyes. The next moment he turned his head and looked directly at the other side of the river. At this fork where many parties gathered, you can see
Many rivers enter the port at one of them. The man's eyes are deep. This is the waterway that used to come from Xiaoyao Xiangyang City. Now Helanbao is quiet on the waterway. There seems to be no sound, but he dares not to use it.
It won't take long for a boat to appear here. That boat should be suitable for leading them away. It is similar in length.
I was a little bored while watching here, so the man started a leisurely topic here that was not too lively, "I just want to know how the money should be moved quietly to those people in this public place."
On a human ship, and then create this so-called inexplicable thing here?"
This point is really puzzling. No matter how you think about it or do it, some things will have some problems after all. If you really want to do something here, will the money leave openly or quietly?
If you leave openly, can you find a suitable reason to push out so many people in this place? If you leave quietly, how should you prove that the money is in the place?
This place has left, so this question is puzzling. At this time, this man still has this thorny problem in his head.
The little girl leaning on the bed over there changed her posture with a bit of laziness. She slowly opened her eyes, but she narrowed them into a thin slit. There was a kind of sleepiness in her eyes, and her gaze was straight.
He landed directly on the man, looked at his back and asked leisurely, "Instead of thinking about this here, why don't you think about where the money is stored?"
If you know where the silver is on the ship, you should know how it will be taken out. If it is on the plywood, it should be taken openly. If it is not on the deck, then this question
It's time to think in a different direction.
Hearing his words, the man sitting by the window turned his head and looked at him with his brows furrowed tightly, "If you said that it is not true that it is on the deck of the ship, I sent someone quietly last night
On the top of the mountain they were passing by, the people who were ambushing me clearly saw that there was nothing important on the plywood, and each of the boxes did not seem too heavy, because there were several boxes at the turn.
The box even swayed with the rocking motion of the ship, so what was inside was not silver at all."
The little girl leaning there, after hearing his words, the corners of her lips suddenly twitched, and her eyes slowly opened with a bright light, "If they are not on the deck, it proves that they do not want to leave openly.
It is very likely that he left quietly. As for how he found out that the money was missing from this place later, can the abnormal panic be explained clearly? "
The little girl is just speculating here. After all, if you want to create something that is hidden, and if you want to bring this disaster to this post, you must experience something that seems to have no warning. This is where the panic lies.
It is inevitable that with such a panic in the public, no one can guarantee what happened on the ship. Since no one can guarantee, then losing money is normal, right?
When the little girl said this, she even crossed her arms the next moment, looking at her smiling half-smiling. There was a bolder guess in her smile, and her eyes became extraordinarily bright because of this guess.
"If there is something more exciting, your people will appear in such a panic. Whether they are your people or not, after all, these people should have more or less the marks of Prince Xiaoyao. If you can do it,
At this point, the matter will be perfect."
Although it is just a guess, it does not mean that this possibility is not possible. The biggest breakthrough point for this possibility is the old housekeeper of Xiaoyao Palace. After all, when they left yesterday, the old housekeeper looked at the two of them.
They were all extremely profound, especially when he leaned on the man's shoulder and raised his eyes slightly to look at the figure over there, he could feel the gloominess on the old butler's face over there.
With his thoughts here, the eyes of the man opposite him swayed for a moment, and he obviously thought about this aspect. Then he raised his eyes and looked at He Lanbao who was sitting here. The expression in his eyebrows was normal, and then he asked leisurely, "Yesterday you
When you raise your eyes to look at him, you should notice something abnormal on his face, right?"
The man spoke leisurely, and when he mentioned that look from yesterday, his heart also moved slightly at this moment. After all, when he came out of the study with this girl in his arms yesterday, the girl had been obediently leaning on his shoulder, forehead
It was pressed against his neck. Later, he felt a slight movement on his neck. The numb and itchy feeling made his heart move, but there was no abnormality on his face. With his
With his martial arts skills, he knew that the person behind him was his old housekeeper. Based on the inadvertent movements of this little girl, he knew that this little girl was looking behind him, but her long eyelashes were really a bit disgusting, coming and going back and forth here.
The reply made his heart twist with uneasiness.
They were so restless until they got to the carriage and wandered out for a long time before slowly settling down. This matter was just a secret of some abnormal behavior in his heart, so they didn't want to think about it too much here, but at this time this
The topic turned to this, and my heart began to beat again.
"Your Majesty, can I ask you a question? Does this person have any grudge against you? Why was it that when he looked at your back yesterday, his eyes were so cold and gloomy that he even stood there?
The fists inside the sleeves were clenched tightly." If there was no hatred, he would never be like this. The existence of the old butler is simply a dangerous bomb, and it might explode at any time, and this man is too
He was too careless. He arranged a butler in his palace, but he didn't do a thorough investigation to find out how to arrange such a dangerous person. I don't know whether to call him smart or to say he is too confident.
