After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Seeing that it was Gu Huaijing, Tan Zhixu subconsciously distanced himself from him.

Gu Huaijing's eyes darkened, but he didn't get angry. He just looked at the sea with his hands behind his hands, "Did the Hou Mansion's ship sink?"

"Yes."

Tan Zhixu knew that this matter could not be hidden, so she did not lie at all. Thinking of the herbal medicine being ruined like this, she felt so distressed that she could hardly stand.

"What is it?"

"Yes."

Tan Zhixu was just about to say it was herbal medicine, but suddenly the crew on the ship ran over, stumbling along the way, "Madam, Madam..."

Seeing the guy, Tan Zhixu's face darkened and he quickly took a few steps forward, "What's wrong?"

"Madam, the ship that sank this time is our big ship."

"and then?"

The guy hesitated to speak. Tan Zhixu guessed that something had happened. She dragged the guy to one side and said, "What's going on?"

After avoiding everyone, the clerk stopped hesitating and said, "Madam, there are other goods on the ship besides our herbs."

"Is it a mixed bag?" Tan Zhixu clenched his hands into fists, and then added the herbal medicine after sinking it. If what was missing was someone else's, then the Hou Mansion wouldn't be able to tell.

"It was a regular customer who asked us to help transport the goods. We don't know exactly what they were, but they said they couldn't get wet or be opened, and they gave us a lot of money."

"Didn't I tell you? You can't help people transport goods. Why don't you listen?"

Tan Zhixu looked at the man with hatred.

The guy now knows he was wrong, but it's too late and there's no point in saying anything.

"Who asked you to help transport this cargo?"

"Second Madam, please forgive me. In fact, this is not the first time we have helped transport goods. We have not been on business every time. I don't think it will be fine this time."

"Let the captain in charge come to see me."

"Yes."

The Hou family has a great business and has many ships at the dock. It can be said that it is the family with the largest number of ships in the capital. In order to facilitate management, Tan Zhixu elected one person to be the captain among the many principals. Generally, as long as there is nothing, he can call the shots on the ship without any need. Pass her.

She had no idea that the captain was so bold.

Not long after, a man hurriedly came to Tan Zhixu. He was about to say something, but when Tan Zhixu raised his hand, the man immediately shut up.

"Master Gu, the Marquis Mansion has family matters to deal with, so I won't greet you for now."

"it is good."

Originally, Gu Huaijing also wanted to come over and have a look after hearing about the sinking of the Hou Mansion's ship, but seeing that Tan Zhixu could handle it, there was no use staying here by himself.

After watching Gu Huaijing leave, Tan Zhixu glared at the captain, "Who gave you the courage to allow you to smuggle goods?"

"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong."

"Whose cargo is this?"

"It belongs to a regular customer..." The captain's reply was the same as what the waiter said. It seemed that this regular customer was determined to hide the matter.

Now that the ship has sunk, the other party will soon know what they will face next. Tan Zhixu doesn't know either, and can only wait.

But after waiting for less than a day, someone from the government office came to the door.

The official of the government office came to the door in person, and the old lady went out to greet him. "I wonder what brought Master Xu here?"

"Old madam, today is not a trivial matter, it is a big event."

Mr. Xu frowned and looked very unsightly.

Seeing this, the old lady also became worried, "Mr. Xu, what's going on? Please tell me."

"Your ship has sunk."

"I know this, but why do you bother Mr. Xu to come to the door in person for such a trivial matter?"

Tan Zhixu had reported the sinking of the ship a long time ago. The old lady knew about it but did not think it was an important matter. However, now that Mr. Xu from the government office was here, she had to pay attention to it.

"The master knows this and has ordered me to investigate thoroughly, so I came here."

Hearing this, the old lady looked ugly and bowed deeply, "How can such a trivial matter bother the Grand Tutor?"

The old lady still didn't understand. She kept saying this over and over again. Mr. Xu was also upset by the question, so he saluted and said: "There was a batch of cargo on the ship, and now it has also been lost. The owner of the cargo has found Mr. Taifu." Ask for an explanation.”

"Is there any other cargo?"

The old lady looked at Tan Zhixu instantly.

Tan Zhixu knew he couldn't hide it and hurriedly stepped forward, "Mom, my daughter-in-law only found out yesterday that our old patron of the Hou Mansion asked us to help transport this cargo. Unexpectedly, the ship sank, and this cargo was not spared."

"Second room, the ships of our Marquis Mansion are here to transport our own goods. When did we start transporting other people's goods?"

The old lady didn't know about it, and neither did Tan Zhixu, but that was what the captain did. What could she do?
Tan Zhixu knelt on the ground and explained the matter. At this time, the captain was also found. Seeing so many people in the yard, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Old lady, it's all my fault. The old slave wants to make more money for our Marquis Mansion, but the old slave is greedy, I hope the old lady will not punish me."

"Don't punish me. Now that this old customer has found the Master, do you think you can bear the blame?"

The old lady kicked the captain hard. Mr. Xu also knew the whole story and knew that the incident was not the fault of the Marquis. However, the Taifu held the responsibility and he could only enforce the law impartially.

"Old madam, please find out this matter as soon as possible. The majesty of the Grand Tutor cannot be suppressed by this organ."

Master Xu left these words and turned around to leave.

After watching Mr. Xu leave, the old lady glared at Tan Zhixu angrily, "I asked you to take charge of the Marquis Mansion's shop. Is this how you took charge?"

"Mother, my daughter-in-law doesn't know about these things. Now the cargo has sunk along with the ship, and the master is clinging to it. We can't have civil strife."

Tan Zhixu looked at the old lady with tears in his eyes.

Although the old lady was angry, she still knew how to think. She frowned and pointed at Tan Zhixu, "You must handle this matter well, otherwise, your residence will be implicated to death."

Before she finished speaking, the old lady turned around and left angrily.

After the old lady left, Tan Zhixu fell into deep thought. She didn't understand why the Taifu would pay attention to this matter. Could it be that the old patron knew the Taifu?

No, even if they are acquaintances, they will not be valued so much by Master Taifu, right?

Tanzhi Xu Bai was puzzled and couldn't figure it out. It was Gu Yu who poked her arm that made her come back to her senses.

"Girl, are you alright?"

"It's okay, let's go to the dock."

"Yes."

In this room, Tan Zhixu just wanted to leave, but Zhou's sarcastic voice came over, "Brother and sister, I never thought you would use our Marquis's ships to make private money."

Zhou's words meant something. Tan Zhixu's face darkened, he dropped his sleeves and said softly, "Sister-in-law, be careful. The captain has said that he did this alone, and I didn't ask him to do it."
