Chapter 348 Resolved
"Brother, you are exhausted from running all the way, go to the inn to rest first, we are watching here." Fat Miao'er said looking at Li Xiaodao with a tired face.

"No, I'm not tired." Li Xiaodao shook his head.

If he can't track down the whereabouts of the pig iron, he won't feel at ease for a day.

"Brother, can the checkpoint be properly arranged?" Fat Miaoer asked.

"Everything is according to your idea, I asked them to investigate more closely." Li Xiaodao replied.

"That's good. The tighter the investigation over there, the more relaxed they will be here." Fat Miao'er nodded in satisfaction.

"Fat Miao'er, will they definitely pass by the river in Qingyang Town?" Li Xiaodao expressed his doubts.

"Not necessarily, but there are more than [-]% certainty. Although there are still a few rivers leading to the south, they are only the widest and deepest in our Qingyang Town. They carry things as heavy as pig iron. The shallow rivers may run aground. , They will never take such a risk." Fat Miaoer explained.

Hearing this, Li Xiaodao thought for a moment and nodded: "That's the only way."

He knew that with King Qin's ability, guarding at the checkpoint might not yield anything, so why not try it according to Fat Miao'er's idea, maybe there will be unexpected results.

Time passed slowly, and when Fat Miao'er was a little tired from sitting and wanted to go to the inn to take a rest, a suspicious cargo ship appeared in her vision.

At the same time, Li Xiaodao also found out.

The two put down the binoculars in their hands, looked at each other, and nodded at the same time.

There is no other reason, but because the draft of this cargo ship is too deep, it can be seen that it has transported very heavy things.

And through the binoculars, they can clearly see everyone on board. They are all powerful, with determination in their eyes, and they look like well-trained people.

"Brother, they seem to be docking at the pier for supplies." Fat Miao'er said as she looked at the gradually slowing cargo ship.

Li Xiaodao nodded in agreement: "It's possible, after all, there are relatively few people at the wharf in Qingyang Town, so it's not easy to be found."

"If they want to add something, they will definitely ask the guide for help. Let's ask them to help find out what is on the ship." Fat Miao'er suggested.

"Okay, I'll go find the coolie head now and let him explain." Li Xiaodao stood up and went to the coolie head with his guards.

Fat Miao'er picked up the binoculars and continued to observe the ship, trying to see some clues from it.

Half an hour later, Li Xiaodao came back.

"Brother, how's it going, have you heard about it?" Fat Miao'er asked.

Li Xiaodao shook his head: "No, they were very strict. After giving Yinzi the things they wanted to buy, they didn't say a word."

"That means there's something more wrong with this ship." Fat Miao'er said affirmatively.

"In that case, I'll take people on board for inspection in a while." Li Xiaodao said.

"Brother, don't do it. If it's a smoke bomb they threw, we should be exposed again, and it will be more difficult to investigate in the future." Fat Miaoer quickly stopped.

"Then what should we do now, we can't just let it go like this?" Li Xiaodao spread his hands.

"Of course not. We can use third brother's cargo ship to follow them from a distance, alternately monitor them, and then send people to follow them on land. We will use both methods to see where the goods on this ship are transported. It will not be too late to do so. "Fat Miao'er expressed his opinion.

"Okay, I'll do as you said. Now go to the freight station to find the abacus and ask him to cooperate." After saying a word, Li Xiaodao got up and left.

After everything was explained, Li Xiaodao left his cronies to continue to monitor the river, and he and Fat Miaoer went to the inn to rest.

After several days of continuous observation, the two found no other suspicious ships. It was basically certain that the ship was a dirty ship filled with pig iron.

"Fat Miao'er, you stay here and continue to monitor, I will lead people to chase after that boat." Li Xiaodao said.

Because the cargo ship is heavy, it does not sail fast, and it does not travel far in a few days.

"Okay, let's contact Feige then." Fat Miaoer nodded.

These homing pigeons were brought by Li Xiaodao from the Linjiang Mansion military camp just for this operation.

……

Two months later, Li Xiaodao sent back the news that he and Yang Jinzhong led the officers and soldiers to successfully destroy the secret base for making Liannu.

It's a pity that when they acted, they encountered desperate resistance. Not only were they not caught alive, but all the houses in the stronghold were burned, and no useful evidence was obtained.

But it was not nothing. Although the house burned down, all the pig iron inside remained after rescue.

This batch of pig iron was very valuable, and all of it was shipped back to the Linjiang Mansion Barracks for the manufacture of new weapons.

All the spies in the Linjiang Mansion barracks were also arrested, and Supervisor Sun was also secretly escorted to the capital for interrogation.

The matter was over, although there was no evidence that the king of Qin had privately manufactured weapons, it still caused him a lot of losses, and he couldn't imitate Liannu for half a while.

Yang Jinzhong and Li Xiaodao were also promoted to a higher level because of this incident.

Time flies, autumn goes and winter comes, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Because Wei Shu couldn't come back, everyone decided to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year, which happened to fulfill Yang Ru's wish and celebrate the New Year with Yang Jinzhong's family.

Due to the bad roads in winter, after 20 days of traveling, I finally arrived in the capital on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

Guo Ling'er had already received the news that everyone was coming to the capital for the New Year, so together with Xin'er, they purchased a large number of New Year's goods, and ordered the servants to clean the house inside and out.

"Second sister-in-law, how are the preparations for the Chinese New Year going, do you need us to buy some more?" Liu Ye'er asked.

"No need, I have everything ready, so don't worry." Guo Ling'er waved her hand.

"Sister-in-law, let's invite Brother Yang and the others to celebrate the New Year together, so that it will be more lively." Fat Miao'er suggested.

"Tomorrow, I will go to discuss with them and see if they will come." Yang Ruyi nodded.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while, and then went back to their houses to rest. After all, they had traveled for 20 days.

The next day.

Everyone got up early and started to get busy. Li Xiaodao and Yang Ruyi went to Yang Jinzhong's house to give gifts. Fat Miaoer also went to a manor outside the city to give Zhuang Zhe a gift. Luopan and others stayed at home to post couplets and hang lanterns.

"Second brother, you are worthy of being the number one scholar in the Great Qi Kingdom. The writing is really beautiful." Hu Lina praised.

"My brother and sister praised me absurdly. Compared with the great Confucians of today, I am far behind." Wei Shu said modestly.

"My lady, how about you write a copy in Fanbang characters and paste it next to the second brother's copy?" Compass suggested.

"I'd better not make a fool of myself." Hu Lina shook her head.

"Sister-in-law three, let's write one, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, it's just for celebration." Liu Ye'er interrupted.
