No taboos

Chapter 287 Riverside Warehouse
"Um……"

A syllable of unknown meaning came out of Miao Yu's nasal cavity.

Miao Yu really wanted to refuse directly and maintain his pride.

But I really want it.

His two trusted subordinates looked at him eagerly.

Sir, please agree to it quickly.

If the adults don’t take it, how can we take it?
Xu Yuan also said secretly: If you don’t take it, how can I continue to hold the tiger-head guillotine?
Miao Yu was conflicted again. If he took the wild boar's fangs' bones and integrated them into his own "magic weapon", his strength would increase by at least 50%!
You will have great confidence to strive for the fifth rate in the future.

Starting from the third-rate level, every level is a chasm.

And... even if I really didn't take anything, it was Xu Yuan who saved me and others this time.

Without Xu Yuan, everyone would become blood food for the wild boar.

With this favor in mind, could I really ask him about the origin of the tiger-head guillotine?

Miao Yu persuaded himself, then he lowered his head and walked forward silently and began to remove the bones.

...Then he discovered with embarrassment that his sword could not cut the wild boar's flesh.

He was a practitioner of the law and lacked physical strength.

And his sword was a piece of seventh-rate craftsmanship.

It’s a very beautiful weapon. Lord Miao really liked this sword - it is very suitable for pairing with some majestic clothes.

But now Lord Miao blames this sword, which makes me feel embarrassed.

Lord Miao turned around and looked at his two trusted subordinates.

The two of them quickly avoided eye contact.

Fortunately, the two men weren't too stupid. After pushing each other a bit, Inspector Zhang finally stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Master Xu, could you please lend me your sword?"

Xu Yuan suppressed his laughter and lent them one of the Dragon-Slaying Swords.

The Dragon Slaying Sword could not break the thick skin of the wild boar fangs, but it had no problem cutting flesh.

Miao Yu took the sword and quickly shaved out all the bones of the wild boar.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Yuan came to the bodies of the barber and the old black dog.

The barber's entire carrying pole is made of craftsmanship.

He is quite wealthy.

He has been doing dirty work for those behind the scenes for decades. He doesn't have a glorious identity, but he has received a lot of rewards.

The razor was of excellent quality, a work of sixth-rate craftsmanship.

Other fire tongs, stoves and the like are also of the seventh-rate variety.

Xu Yuan took them all without hesitation.

You can keep the razor for yourself, and take the other things back for your stepmother to take a look. If there is nothing valuable in them, just put them directly into your private vault.

I can't take action for the time being, otherwise those behind the scenes will easily follow the clues and find me.

The old black dog didn't bring anything with him, and he had no place to put anything.

Xu Yuan felt it was a great pity.

Old Black Dog must have secretly saved a lot of money.

Unfortunately, there were secret techniques hidden in their souls, which were even more insidious than the "thread-pulling method". The moment they died, their souls turned to ashes.

There is no way to find any clues about the silver from the soul.

The barber also had a book on the "Hair-Retaining Method" on him.

This method was too insidious. Although Xu Yuan put the practice method away, he did not plan to practice it, nor did he intend to teach it to others.

Miao Yu had already shaved out all the bones, so he came over and said to Xu Yuan, "Let's get out of the mountain."

Xu Yuan thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

This time we harvested too much good stuff, and the stuff on the wild boar's fangs was too big to fit into the "fishy wrap".

I could only tie it with a rope and hang it on the saddle.

It is very dangerous to do this, but everyone is reluctant to give up.

The horses were used to carry things, so even Xu Yuan and Miao Yu could only walk while leading the horses.

After rushing for a long time, the team returned to the canal dock before dark.

Qin Ze looked at the sky and said, "Sir, it's too late to go back to the city today. Should we stay at the dock for one night?"

The docks are extremely busy, with many inns and cargo stations.

Xu Yuan nodded: "Yes."

This time, Miao Yu did not contact the Cao Gang or the Canal Office, but paid for the stay in the inn himself.

The cost is bound to be high.

Because those good materials need to be stored in a special warehouse. There is such a warehouse at the dock. Qin Ze took people to ask the price. The price of storing all the materials for one night is 500 taels of silver!

I'm not really overcharging you, this is the market price.

This type of warehouse is only found on the canal dock.

In order to ensure that these materials will not change at night, the owner of the freight station needs to make various arrangements.

……

Nothing on the dock escapes the eyes and ears of the Cao Gang.

As soon as Xu Yuan and his companions arrived at the dock, someone quietly reported to the steward: "Miao Yu and his companions are back, and they brought back a lot of things."

The steward changed into ragged clothes, made up himself to look like an ordinary porter, and went to take a look.

Then he went to the Canal Yamen.

He entered through the back door and soon saw an adult.

He reported Miao Yu's situation in detail.

Finally, he said, "I've personally checked, and there's no such batch of cocoon food."

The adult frowned and waved his hand: "Go down."

After the steward left, the master knocked on the table.

A man came out from behind the study screen: "What do you want, sir?"

"Send someone to check again at night."

"As ordered."

……

After dinner, Xu Yuan saw Miao Yu standing at the door, looking in a certain direction.

"What is Master Miao looking at?"

Miao Yu pointed and said, "Over there is the treasury of the Grand Canal Government Office that was robbed."

Xu Yuan took a glance and wrote it down quietly.

These houses on the canal dock are built along the canal with the dock as the center.

The area closest to the dock is occupied by the Canal Office.

The treasury was located by the river.

There are two gates, front and back.

Goods can be loaded directly from the warehouse onto the ship, which is very convenient.

Miao Yu added, "I still don't know what was lost in the warehouse. The Canal Office actually doesn't want me to investigate this case."

Xu Yuan asked, "What do you think, sir?"

Miao Yu shook his head slightly, and after a while he said, "The water is too deep, Brother Xu, don't get involved."

Xu Yuan thought to himself that he had been dragged into this.

The two of them went back to their rooms to rest, and Xu Yuan took the opportunity to eat some of the pig skin and tendon bait.

The leather armor has been greatly enhanced and can now wrap Xu Yuan completely like a piece of leather armor.

In terms of defense, he has reached the level of a sixth-rate martial artist.

If all the pig skins were used as bait, he would definitely be able to reach the level of a fifth-rate martial artist.

Even compared to the wild boar, it is on par with it.

The tendon pill is stronger and can be used as a weapon.

Moreover, after all the baits were eaten, even a fifth-rate craftsman would not be able to cut the animal tendon rope.

Xu Yuan rested for a while, then rolled the dragon skin onto the animal tendon rope and quietly opened the window to let it out.

The animal tendon rope stretched for a hundred feet and released the leather dragon into the river.

Gudong!

Pilong entered the water and immediately began to perform.

There are several evil spirits wandering around the river bank.

Every night they are expecting someone to walk at night and fall into the river, so that they can pick up their blood and make a meal for free.

The evil spirits don’t know that there is an idiom called “waiting for the rabbit by the tree.”

Something fell to the ground tonight, and they were ecstatic, thinking that they had really seen what they had been waiting for.

A group of evil spirits rushed over, and Pilong used his tail to scatter two of the water ghosts.

The others dispersed.

Pilong suddenly raised his head from the water and saw that there was actually a person on the shore, sneaking towards the inn where Xu Yuan and his friends were staying.
