Chapter 60 General Huo accompanied you?
Xu Lan wandered around the pier a few times, but instead of finding Chang Ying, she met Huo Rong.

Huo Rong guessed that he was looking for Shen Changying, and wanted to tell him that she had returned, but stopped.

Seeing his wet trousers and the wet coat held by Tong Qi, Xu Lan asked in a little astonishment, "General Huo went swimming?"

Huo Rong was calm and composed: "I haven't been in the water for a long time, just on a whim."

Xu Lan nodded with a smile: "I admire it very much."

On the side of the police room, Chang Ying rinsed her mouth and finished her tea before continuing to speak patiently with Su Xinrong.

"Bring the people you ordered to see me before noon tomorrow." This time Changying had no patience to wait for her response, "Of course, it's up to you to do it or not, but what I want to tell you is that you can imagine yourself What a mess this time."

She didn't make her words very clear, because although she was sure that Su Xinrong would not be so stupid as to take the initiative to tell others about the matter on the Fuzi ship under such a serious crime, but she had to prevent her from leaking.

And Su Xinrong is hateful, after all, she cannot be the mastermind of this matter, and it is useless to fight her to the death.

Her goal should be to find out the mastermind. As for Su Xinrong, there is no need to rush to do anything to her right now.

Asking Su Xinrong to follow the vines to find those people is much quieter than her looking for them.

Besides, she had to report the matter to Xu Lan, and even if she didn't say it today, Xu Lan would let her know tomorrow.

Su Xinrong was furious, adding a little bit of anxiety, her head was buzzing, as if the only way was tacit consent.

She didn't accept it, but this matter was indeed no small matter, if Shen Changying blamed her for this crime... For the sake of the overall situation, she dared not refuse.

And she also couldn't tolerate someone using her to commit crimes and then dragging her into the water. If something went wrong, those people would have to confess sooner or later, and it didn't matter if she just listened to her for a while.

Changying happened to meet Xu Lan who was coming back when he was out of the poor room.

"Why are you here?" Xu Lan was also taken aback.

"Oh, it's not long since I came back, I just had some food."

Chang Ying had something on her mind, so she greeted him politely, and then said: "Something went wrong just now, I'll come to the government office tomorrow to look for General Xu."

After speaking, he went back to the lumberyard to find Zhou Liang and the others.

Seeing her back, Xu Lan raised her eyebrows and exhaled, and sent someone to lead the horse.

He was successful at a young age, and he had never been left out in the cold.

I walked around the pier a few times just now, and the wind from the river was exhausting, so it was worthwhile to ask her a few greetings.

But unexpectedly, she walked away in a carefree manner—forget it, she has always only cared about her official duties, why has she ever cared about anyone else?Just know she's fine.

……

The Huo family has real estate in Huzhou, so it's not easy to find a place to live?

Huo Rong lived in a house with a small garden closest to Nankangwei in the name of renting, and it was only half a street away from the entrance of Nanfeng Lane.

When he was taking a shower, he took a look at his body, it was quite strong, the lines were not bad, the muscles would not be very thick, and there was no trace of fat.

Ugly?

Not so much.

But before coming up from the water, the woman actually stuffed him with clothes...

When she was avoiding the enemy in the graveyard, she had already hugged him from behind - although it was to cover the wound and prevent him from fainting early due to too much blood, but that was still hugging, wasn't it?
And his chest, there were two wounds on the part where he had muscles, he couldn't see it at the time, she didn't want to watch him die, so she could only help him apply medicine, um, anyway, she also saw it.

More than three years ago, he was still a tender young man, but now he is a young man with the figure of Kong Wu, so he feels disgusted?
He finds it ridiculous.

Tong Qi came in with a lamp in hand.

Huo Rong glanced at him: "What is Xie Peng doing recently?"

He thought for a moment: "At this moment, he should still be in the capital."

After they left Changxing, Xie Peng still stayed in the dark and stared at the magistrate's mansion.Cheng Xiao's exposure directly affected the prince. At this time, he would definitely think of killing Cheng Xiao and silence him.

Therefore, even if the emperor sent his confidants to escort him, he still let Xie Peng secretly escort him until the case was finalized.

Huo Rong washed his strong and long arms: "Tomorrow, I will inquire about the background of the chief of the Water Transportation Department, and then I will inquire about the situation of the nearby docks."

……

Zhou Liang and the others already knew what happened that night on the way, so they had to curse Su Xinrong again.

Changying didn't care about her, and rested after returning to the mansion.

Waking up early the next day, she first took Zhou Liang and Huang Ji to the Water Transport Department of the government office to inquire about the origin of the Fu Zi ship.

After the people from the Water Transportation Department gave the documents, she went back to the Weisuo Yamen to look for Xu Lan after reading it.

"What's the matter?" Xu Lan's voice was slightly hoarse after he had been busy all morning, and the expression on his face was still very serious.

Changying took out the paperwork from her sleeve: "Something happened at the pier."

As she spoke, she told him everything that happened last night, and then said: "Because General Huo confirmed that the wood was hidden in the merchant ship of Fu Zi, and there were some other ship materials, so I went to the government office to check When we got to the details of this Fuzi ship, the owner of the ship was a tea merchant surnamed Wu in Huzhou.

"At the same time, I saw that the ship that received the material was the Longzi, and the owner of the Longzi ship was a silk merchant, surnamed Liu. It is not clear whether Wu and Liu are related, but the matter of smuggling the ship materials is a gang. Yes, it is inevitable.

"I think there must be someone behind this matter as an internal response. I haven't been alarmed by the two ships, and I don't know if there are other merchant ships involved."

Xu Lan was going to take a breath, but when she heard that what she said was such a thing, her frowning brows became even tighter.

After reading it carefully twice, he said, "Where is Su Xinrong?"

"I asked her to find the soldiers who bribed the artisans last night. She should have gone to the pier."

Xu Lan raised her eyes unexpectedly: "She will be obedient?"

Changying smiled and said, "Obviously."

Xu Lan smiled and didn't ask any more questions. Su Xinrong's fault was unforgivable, but it wasn't the focus right now.

He sorted out the matter and said: "There are fixed sentries along the coast. They can steal a large ship of wood, which shows that they are habitual offenders. ——You do your work first, and I will look for General Tan."

He stood up.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again: "Last night, was General Huo accompanying you?"

Changying paused, smiled and told the truth: "Yes."

Xu Lan also smiled slightly, grabbed the document and left.

When Huo Rong said he went swimming last night, he thought it was strange. How could anyone swim without taking off his clothes?

Since he was helping Changying, it made sense, he couldn't go into the water stripped naked in front of a female general.

There is nothing that cannot be said, so why did Huo Rong hide this from him, saying that he was going swimming?
On the way forward, a kind smile slowly appeared on Xu Lan's mouth.

It seems that General Huo is really interesting.
