Chapter 57 The Unimportant Ex-wife

Changying rolled her eyes.

After Huo Rong finished his activities, he went into the water.

Tong Qi followed closely behind, and after gesturing to each other, boarded the boat in front and back.

This is a common cargo ship, with a load of about seven or eight thousand catties. In the cabin, there are four people throwing dice around the Kang table. There are many sacks piled up inside, which should be cargo.

Other than that, I really didn't see any space to put wood.

Huo Rong looked around along the bulkhead, leaned on the deck and thought for a while, then swam to the next boat.

Only an oil lamp was lit on board, and an old man dozed off in the cabin with his forehead propped on his forehead. There was still nothing worth talking about in the cabin.

"Master, do you want to withdraw?" Tong Qi obviously found nothing and sneaked over.

Huo Rong pondered and said: "Shen Changying is a cautious person, she said that if she saw someone stealing wood, it must be there.

"Tonight is the running time of the tank boat. The merchant ship can't move. The wood must still be on the boat. Look for it again."

"Since it is sure, why not bring someone over to search directly?"

"Even if we find it, we can only find out this time. For this kind of thing, it is natural to treat the symptoms and the root cause."

Huo Rong gestured, and went first to the tailgate where no one was looking.

Perhaps it was the tacit understanding reached during those days in Changxing, even if Shen Changying didn't say anything, he could still understand why she asked him for help and asked him to send guards to find out the truth.

If these people really colluded with the government and private to pry the corner of the government, then it must not be a matter of one or two days, and it must not be something that a few craftsmen are brave enough to do.

Bringing people to search directly is tantamount to scaring the snake, and trying to eliminate them is not easy.

"His-"

There was the sound of insects ahead, and it was Tong Qi who was calling.

He dived over, and Tong Qi pointed to the nail plate: "There is a light underneath!"

There are indeed lights under the deck, and Daning’s merchant ships are already very sophisticated. There are almost no gaps in the hull. Even if there are gaps, they have been filled with tung oil and paint, but this line on the deck does not need to be wet. , but there is light coming out from underneath.

Huo Shen leaned over and put his ears on it, then visually measured the length of the hull, then went into the water again, looked at the depth of the hull into the water, and then motioned Tong Qi to lead the old man in the cabin away.

Tong Qi jumped into the water and yelled "Ouch", the old man in the cabin woke up startled, then walked to the door, Huo Rong took the opportunity to enter, and aimed at the inner cabin door behind him,
Open, enter, close again, all in one go.

Two lamps were lit in the bilge, and it was full of wood and paulownia paint, etc...

Changying wandered back and forth on the shore.

Xu Lan said that Huo Rong was familiar with water transportation. She thought that the Huo family was an imperial merchant after all, so she was just familiar with it, but she didn't expect him to know water!
This is not unusual for ordinary people, but how is the Huo family an ordinary family?
It is said that the Huo family's money is more than enough to buy the entire Huizhou city, and Huo Rong, as the eldest son of the Huo family and the heir of the Huo family, is their family willing to let him learn to swim?
Could this Huo Mingzhai be a strange person?

"Whoa!"

The sound of water came from the river, and two people came ashore one after another. The first person's body was soaked and stuck to his body, and his ape-backed and wasp-like waist was outlined heavily in the moonlight.

Behind her, Tong Qi didn't know when she had put on her clothes, and she appeared in front of people neatly even though she looked messy.

Changying cleared her throat: "I heard some movement earlier, are you all right?"

"The wood is hidden in the cargo ship of the Fuzi. Except for the wood, everything that can be stolen in the dock should be involved."

While talking, Huo Rong took off his shirt and wrung out the water.

The water dripped on the ground, and the moonlight turned it into intermittent silver. I was forced to take a look at his swollen muscles, and felt that his whole body was also dripping with shameless and sinful light.

In the daily military training in the guard, there are people who wear single clothes every day, and some of them are good-looking and handsome. Naturally, they blushed when they first met, but after seeing too much, it really doesn't matter.

Under the moonlight in front of me, compared with the guards, there is more or less taboo, but the man in front of me is still someone else's man.

Changying obviously couldn't stand the blessing, picked up his coat and threw it over: "Then thank you in advance! Tomorrow, General Xu and I will go to the government to check the name of this blessing."

Huo Rong glanced at her and took the robe over: "Are you familiar with General Xu?"

"Two years in the same robe, do you think you know him well?" Changying laughed.

Huo Rong shook the corner of his robe, looked into the depths of the night, and hummed after a long time.

Judging by Xu Lan's enthusiasm for her, it doesn't look like she's just a colleague.The scene by the river beach earlier was too eye-catching.Guess Su Xin will have to smash the pillow when she turns around, right?
Changying said: "What's wrong?"

He lowered his head and held his sword: "It's nothing. Just ask."

After speaking, he looked at her again, his eyes became unpredictable.

I had imagined her appearance countless times before, but to be honest, I didn't expect that the real person would be more amazing than imagined.

The woman who married him in a dream in three years and dumped him countless times, she has such a face that can easily "attract bees and butterflies".

Changying sneezed: "Who cursed me?"

Huo Rong squinted at her.

Changying lowered her hand covering her nose to look at him, feeling that he had become weird since Changxing parted.

Huo Rong didn't say anything more, threw the robe he was waiting to wear on her, and left.

Although Changying thanked him for his kindness, he dared not wear the clothes.

She went up and returned to him: "Speaking of which, why did you come to Nankangwei suddenly?"

Based on the fact that these things were caused by Changxing's affairs, and because she found out about this matter just now, he must not stand by and watch afterwards, Huo Rong paused, took the clothes and said: "It is to act according to the order."

After all, he briefly told her about the follow-up of Cheng Xiao's case received at Huo's house, and then said: "The water transportation affairs of Huzhou Wharf are very important. Although you are under Xu Lan's command, you must also put the overall situation first. .”

Changying actually guessed that he came for water transportation before, but he never knew such details.

She nodded: "I will."

He smiled again and said: "General Xu is also very responsible, right and wrong, he is like a mirror in his heart, I believe he will not be the kind of person who calculates foolishly."

Huo Rong looked at her for a while, then retracted his gaze and nodded, "I can tell."

"What answer did you look for with my fingerprints, did you find it?" Changying asked again.

Huo Rong held the hilt of the sword: "I found it. But it has nothing to do with you."

Changying felt that there was nothing wrong with this reason.

He has been indifferent since he arrived, and since he confirmed that she is not Shen Linlang who has had anything to do with him, it is reasonable for him to keep a distance from her.

Huo Rong looked at her determined look but felt bored.

He said: "I'm going for a walk, you can do whatever you want."

"Aren't your clothes still wet?"

"It's okay." He took a slow breath, "It's too full to digest."
