====================

Beside the pier, someone temporarily built several large grass sheds outside the ferry boat left by Lei Tingjun.

Gu Li and Xue Sanfeng sneaked into the jungle in front of the greenhouse again.

Looking from afar from the jungle, one can vaguely see figures walking around in the shed.Gu Li watched carefully, and after a while said in a low voice, "There are about 20 people in the shed, and all the boxes that were brought into the shed yesterday are there."

Xue Sanfeng nodded, he estimated the meal time of the workers in the shed, and said, "Wait a little longer."

After about half a day, the sky gradually turned dark, candles were lit in the shed, and the lights were brightly lit. Xue Sanfeng waved his hand, "Go in."

After speaking, two figures flew out, heading east and west respectively, and flashed into the roof of the shed.

The two lay on the roof of the shed, carefully observing the movement inside the shed.The structure of the whole thatched shed is simple, with several square sheds surrounding a large empty courtyard where a large number of goods are placed.It was dark at night, and it was time for dinner. Many boatmen walked into the inner courtyard of the shed, leaving only one person on duty in the courtyard.

Gu Li looked down at the entire large empty courtyard. The cargo boxes placed in the courtyard were unloaded from the ship yesterday and had not been transported away yet.But today, there were several carriages and cargo carts parked on the open road outside the shed, that is to say, if you want to find out the cargo on board, you must do it today.

Xue Sanfeng looked around, and after confirming that there was only one person on duty, he took out the big stone that he had prepared earlier, and with a flick of his fingers, the stone hit the outside of the shed accurately, making a "clang" sound.

Because there was a lot of movement, the guard on duty hurried out of the shed.

As soon as Gu Li saw the guard walk away, she looked towards the direction indicated by Xue Sanfeng, and immediately understood, her figure flew up, she jumped, and she was already hiding by the wall of the shed in a blink of an eye.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Gu Li quickly approached the shipping boxes in the courtyard, but unexpectedly all the boxes were heavily locked.

hateful!

Gu Li hastily took out the thin wire and used brute force to tear off the lock. Finally, she was able to open the box, but there was nothing in the shipping box!

Gu Li's heart sank a little, and he checked the other boxes, but they were all empty.

what happened?

Have the shipping boxes been repacked?

Gu Li couldn't think much about it, because at this moment there was a sound of footsteps, it seemed that the guard had turned back to the shed, Gu Li hurriedly jumped up and hid on the roof of the shed.

The meal time was coming to an end, and the boatmen who finished their meals walked out of the court one after another, some left the shed together, some were still sitting in the court smoking tobacco and chatting, Gu Li took the opportunity to walk up to Xue Sanfeng, and asked softly: "Do you want to go into the shed?"

Xue Sanfeng nodded, and the two of them sneaked into the inner courtyard when the opportunity came.

The inner courtyard is huge, except for the boatman who went in and out, there was no suspicious person there, Gu Xue and Xue hid separately, listening to the movement around them silently.

"It sucks!"

A rough voice sounded outside the courtyard, Gu Li pricked up his ears, and another voice sounded: "Are you courting death? You speak so loudly!"

Gu Li's face sank like water, and the voices of the two people stopped suddenly when they heard them talking.After a while, one of them said, "Has Hana Shiro come?"

Hanashiro?

Gu Li always felt that this name was very familiar, where did he hear it?

"He hasn't come yet. This person is never punctual. It's not the first time."

"Then wait a little longer, everything is hidden, right?"

"Hide it well, and find someone to guard it. The box outside is just a cover. The officials are really afraid of trouble. The person surnamed Lei is dead. Who will notice this?"

"It's always right to be careful, we just do what the officials say, and don't ask about the rest."

"understood."

There was a silence, and then the sound of walking feet was heard again.

Gu Li recalled the conversation between the two of them just now, but couldn't hear any useful clues. She couldn't figure it out for a while, and when her mind was spinning rapidly, suddenly there was a slight noise outside the room.

"who!?"

The one who reacted with Gu Li was Xue Sanfeng who was hiding in the dark.The two frowned and listened carefully, but no one spoke. After a long time, the rough voice sounded again, speaking in a language that Gu Li had never heard before.

Ancient Western Regions?

Gu Li was shocked, it was a language he had never heard before, why could he understand the meaning of the words?

The two talked for a while, then left, and the room became quiet.

Gu Li looked dignified and did not dare to move rashly.Although I don't know where the noise came from just now, the two people in the room must have become alert, and the most incredible thing is that he can understand the ancient language of the Western Regions.

The goods on board are hidden underground in the inner courtyard of the shed.

Gu Li didn't dare to think too much, and hastily stretched out her hand to make a gesture towards Xue Sanfeng. After seeing Xue nodded to indicate understanding, she turned over, stepped on the beam nimbly, and ran directly to the inner courtyard without a sound.

After a few vertical jumps, the two of them went straight into the backyard, a burst of coolness rushed over their faces, Gu Li carefully observed the surrounding movements, and hid in a hidden corner.

Sure enough, I saw the entrance of a black cellar, and there were many people guarding the entrance.Gu Li frowned, pointed to the boatman on duty, then stretched out his index finger, making a downward gesture towards Xue Sanfeng.

Xue Sanfeng understood right away, quickly sneaked into the dark, aimed at the boatman closest to him, and slashed his palm towards the boatman's neck, and the boatman fell to the ground without a sound, straight down.

Gu Xue and the two quickly dragged the man aside, Gu Li took off the boatman's uniform and hurriedly put it on, and Xue Sanfeng dragged the man to the jungle to hide.

Taking advantage of no one's noticing, Gu Li jumped down with the support of the cellar opening. Although the hole was dark, it wasn't too deep. Gu Li jumped into the bottom of the cellar and looked up. He reckoned that there were at least two people in the dark cellar. .

Gu Li's eyesight is excellent in the dark night, and he can sweep across. This cave is not too big, it can only accommodate dozens of people, and the end can be seen at a glance.The cellar is slightly deep, dark and quiet, with tall thick straw mats on both sides of the wall, leaving only a small passage in the middle, about the width of which can accommodate two people walking side by side. wooden box.

Could it be that the cargo on the ship is hidden here?Gu Li hastily took out a dagger, split the iron lock of one of the boxes, opened it, and found that the box was full of gold and silver utensils, shining brightly, covering the entire large box.

Gu Li was horrified, and hastily opened another box, which was also full of gold, silver and jade.

Sure enough, I guessed right, all the goods on the ship were gold, silver and jade!

Gu Li picked up one of the gold tins, touched it carefully with her fingers, and found a small protruding mark on it. Looking carefully, the mark turned out to be the imperial seal of the royal family of Xiang Kingdom.

Could it be that these are all the official silver and official belongings of the Xiangguo court! ?

The cellar was cold, but Gu Li felt his heart was burning, as if a burning flame had been cast into it.Who on earth is so bold as to steal and smuggle official silver from the imperial treasury!

But now is not a good time to thoroughly investigate who smuggled official silver, Gu Li took a few fine gold utensils and hid them on her body, and then covered the box.

He must pass this news back to Beijing as soon as possible!
