Chapter 229 Immediate response

The two guys from Longyi Business were originally scared by Manager Zhou Yitong, and they were already a little timid, but after hearing Yu Yongkai's words, they showed joy.

After so many months, who don’t know that the people who serve in the Hexi Inspection Department and work are well paid? They are eager to remove Manager Zhou from them.

"Reporting to the inspection, there was a red-faced man on the ship in addition to these people, but now he is not here."

Yu Yongkai was a little interested, "Don't you know this person?"

"I don't know each other", including Manager Zhou, everyone shook their heads.

"That's a strange thing. There are only so many people on the boat. Since you don't know each other, no one will be suspicious?"

"In addition to him, there is another short man. Every time I see them chatting there, I think they should be on the boat."

Yu Yongkai laughed silently.

Interestingly, the second brother often said, "If something goes wrong, there will be a demon." Doesn't it confirm the current situation?

"I have seen those two people stand up and describe their appearance characteristics. Jingliang, Manager Wang, let's go to your boat to see."

"Yes", Manager Wang from Fuhua Business is gloating, and was suddenly called by Yu Yongkai. He was shocked and hurriedly walked forward and led the way.

"Inspector Yu", Manager Zhou snatched his body and asked with a flattering smile: "Then is nothing wrong with me?"

"It's not okay, let's talk about it when you find out here."

"By the way", Yu Yongkai took a few steps and remembered something again, "What kind of cargo are you loading on this boat, and how much is the value?"

"Uh, this..." Manager Zhou looked at the person from Fuhua Business, with an expression that was not easy to say clearly.

Yu Yongkai immediately understood and walked back a few steps to pull Manager Zhou to the corner.

"Inspector Yu, if other officials ask about this, I would not dare to tell the truth. That is, if you, inspector Yu, is a trustee, I will tell you that my three ships are loaded with silk, medicinal materials and other items transported from Baoning Mansion to Chongqing Mansion, which is about six or seven thousand taels."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou, for your respect. Let's go back and get together." Yu Yongkai felt confident when he heard this data. He patted Manager Zhou on the shoulder and called Zhang Jingliang and others to get off the ship, leaving only a few soldiers from the Longxiong regiment to record on the deck.

The ship of Fuhua Store is much more convenient to view. As expected by Yongkai and Zhang Jingliang, several traces of man-made damage were found on the mast that had become broken.

Yu Yongkai gathered everyone on the boat to ask, and found that not long after passing the city, two people always made excuses to get in the direction of the mast, and now they can't find anyone.

Zhang Jingliang tightened his cloak and walked aside with Yu Yongkai and asked, "Brother Kai, what should we do?"

"It is obviously not as simple as a coincidence that several ships have been attacked. Didn't the second brother say that all the possibilities are all

Excluding it, even if the rest is incredible, it is the truth of the matter.”

"Brother", Yu Yongkai put his right hand around Zhang Jingliang's neck and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Now the situation is clear, someone wants to make up our minds."

"But what is this? Framed? As long as we don't touch them, it's useless. Besides, the passing traders know our rules. Without conclusive evidence, everyone may not believe it."

Zhang Jingliang was confused. He was a little confused about the thoughts of these people in the dark. The ship was not from Liujia Village, and nothing big happened. It can be used to repair and repair it. Is it just for a prank?

Yu Yongkai sneered, "These ships docked on our wharf are worth tens of thousands of taels of goods alone, and you have heard it just now that these merchants transport goods such as silk and medicinal materials that are convenient for sale. If you are a strong man, will you be moved?"

"Damn it," Zhang Jingliang slapped hard, "If a tiger doesn't show his power, he really thinks we are sick cats. What should I do? Should I send someone to report to my second brother?"

"You have to report it. You can find three people to go back in three ways to report the news and tell the second brother the truth. You can listen to your second brother if you decide. Now you don't know if the thief is attacking the world. Let's not mislead your second brother."

"Also, did Hong Erzhu sober up?"

"I should wake up, I'll ask someone to call him." Zhang Jingliang immediately walked towards the inspection compound.

Yu Yongkai grabbed him, "You go and arrange someone to go back to the village to report the news, I'll go find Erzhu."

Hong Erzhu had won a lot of praise from Liu Xi in Hou Liangzhu's camp, but now he has been promoted to the sentry officer. This time He Duan was transferred to Shunqing to defend, and he also followed him.

Because there has been nothing in the army recently, he often comes to Yu Yongkai to walk around and contact each other. Yesterday he was drunk again.

When Yu Yongkai walked into Hong Erzhu's house, he found that he had already woken up, but his head was still a little dizzy.

Yu Yongkai knew that it was not the time to be polite, so he ordered someone to bring a basin of hot water, so that Hong Erzhu could wash his face and wake him up, and then told him what he had discovered one by one.

"Erzhu, although I don't know how many thieves are, since I dare to make a decision, I must be sure that my second brother is more than 60 miles away from us and can't get there in a hurry. On the contrary, the city is only twenty miles away from here. I would like to ask you to go back and report to the guerrillas. If you see the fire here, please send troops to rescue him."

"Brother Kai, don't worry, I'll go back and report now." Hong Erzhu stood up a little staggeredly, patted his chest and walked out. Yu Yongkai hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a horse for him and send him across the river.

At the same time, the atmosphere in Hexi Town became solemn. Although Yu Yongkai had agreed with Zhang Jingliang not to alert the snake, but to let the Longxiong regiment be on guard secretly, and at the same time, the army on the dock was also transferred back, the feeling of a storm still slowly emanating from the closed gate of the inspection department.

At the same time, on a small hill west of Hexi Town, the red-faced man who had appeared on Longyi Business before was walking up the mountain with a dozen people.

"Men, look!"

A man walking behind looked back and saw three fast horses running out of Hexi Town and heading towards the north. He hurriedly greeted the blushing man and said.

When the others heard this, they stopped and looked along his fingers.

"It's the news!"

"Damn it, how did they find it?"

The red-faced man who was called a man roared angrily, his tone full of disbelief.

It wasn't his surprise. They stepped on the spot in advance and knew that there were many merchant ships coming and going from Hexi Town recently, so it was normal for merchant ships to dock due to problems.

Besides, for the sake of caution, they also specially created different things because they forced these specially selected fat sheep to dock in Hexi Town, which most people couldn't find.

The Hexi Inspection Department has just been established, and the Liu family has no official background. Although Hexi Town has begun to become prosperous under the governance of this surname, this man did not believe that they could do everything in full and find any problems.

It is said that his idea is fine. If it were a cute Chaoren, he might have really been like he thought, but who told him to encounter such a freak as Liu Ximing?

The idea that Liu Ximing instilled in Yu Yongkai and others is to rely on institutionalization and programmatic management, rather than relying on human abilities and consciousness.

Therefore, the first thing Yu Yongkai considered when he went to Hexi Town was how to establish rules and regulations here. In a few months, normative documents including the town patrol system and the merchant ship registration system were released one after another.

Today, these merchant ships temporarily docked at the dock for various reasons. If you look at it alone, of course there will be no problem, but as soon as you summarize it, Zhang Jingliang saw the clues.

In the past, there were ships that needed temporary stops and repairs, but how could they encounter several ships at once like today?

"Men, maybe the people in Bailong Village leaked the news, so we didn't show any clues."

The short man who had previously partnered with Meng Ye immediately responded.

Meng Ye suddenly realized and smiled, "Yes, yes, yes, what does this matter have to do with us? When the master asked, you said you didn't know, do you understand?"

"I understand!" several people replied sparsely.

One of them was more responsible. He asked with a worried look: "What if it is because they report the news and the matter is broken?"

"Hmph, Liujia Village is six or seventy miles away from here. Even if it is flying, it will have to fly for a while. When they come here, it will be white. What trouble can there be?"
