The son-in-law is a thief

There was a wave of ups and downs, and when Zhaoyang heard Huo Qishan's request for an interview, he knew it must be related to the investigation. He wanted to get closer to Gu Ruyang for a few more days, the number of shipments to be counted, the number of merchants to be recorded, those All the annoying things that would arouse her displeasure appeared a little later, but all of this hadn't come to fruition, yet Huo Qishan only sent four words: Difficult and difficult.

"Why?" Zhaoyang was also puzzled, saying that the investigation went quite smoothly a few days ago.

"Some accidents happened at the Green Bee Team." Although Huo Qishan led the team, his focus was more on Fei County.

Zhao Yang raised his hand to signal Huo Qishan to continue, and he continued: "Anyway, someone is missing, and we don't know if there was an accident. Now that the Gu family is investigating in Wanshigang, we can only slow down our actions."

Since the establishment of the Green Bee Group, it has rarely lost soldiers or generals, which made her feel uneasy, Zhaoyang said: "Don't slow down, just suspend the action."

Zhaoyang is not the first person to propose to suspend the action, Luo Qiaoniang also suggested so, but Huo Qishan did not understand that it is the right of the royal family to collect taxes on Wanshi Hong Kong, especially after Zhaoyang's marriage The relationship between Wanshi Port and Guicheng has also become closer. For Huo Qishan, the matter of tax collection should be resolved quickly.

"The veteran thinks that there is no need to slow down." Huo Qishan said bluntly.

Huo Qishan saw Zhaoyang's complexion was heavy, so he persuaded again: "Princess, think again, after all, the Qi of the North Land is eyeing, they occupy the power of the North Land, if they wait for a period of time to cultivate, they will definitely not let us go. Northern Qi has not yet firmly established its foothold, we must develop rapidly."

Seeing that Zhaoyang was still a little hesitant, Huo Qishan said again: "I still remember the matter of marrying Chen Qingchuan. Your Highness personally mentioned it. I remember that day in the court hall, you said to Your Majesty and the officials: My Great Zhou is at stake. If you don't work hard, you will be punished by Qi. The ministers in the court and the soldiers on the island should cherish 1.1 millet, increase income and reduce expenditure, and enrich the army to change the sky. Follow Your Highness and you will marry Wanshigang. What is all this for? Isn’t it for us to go back as soon as possible? It is precisely because of what the princess said that the old minister is saddled for the princess. Now His Majesty has signed various trade regulations with Wanshigang. Taxation must not be left behind, princess Your Highness."

Zhaoyang knew Huo Qishan's loyalty to the Great Zhou. This old general entered the barracks at the age of 14. It was still Wenzong's time. , and met a general who admired him. Although he also experienced the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Muzong era, and the fatuous Dezong of Zhaoyang's uncle, Huo Qishan still has the longing for the world when he was young in his heart.

"General Huo is dedicated to my great week, how could Zhaoyang not understand, but don't rush for success in everything, you need General Huo to know that everything in front of you is hard-won, so don't act emotionally." Zhaoyang persuaded, with a rare expression on his face It was true at first sight, not only for Da Zhou, but also for Gu Ruyang.

"But the princess..."

"Back off." Zhaoyang interrupted Huo Qishan's words. She couldn't let Huo Qishan try to shake her determination. She was already heartbroken about the matter of balancing Nian Guicheng and Gu Ruyang. Maybe she also needed to stop and let her go. Quiet yourself.

Huo Qishan looked at Zhaoyang. For the first time, he felt that the image of this princess was no longer so tall and stalwart, but he would still choose to be loyal. Huo Qishan bowed his hands in disappointment, leaving behind a vicissitudes of life before leaving.

Zhaoyang was not in a hurry to call Gu Ruyang over, she chose to stay alone for a while, no matter who appeared in front of her, she would feel that it was a kind of pressure, whether it was from Wanshigang or from her hometown Niangui city.In fact, everything in front of us is moving forward according to Zhaoyang’s plan. After forming a trading relationship with Wanshigang, the next step is to classify the incoming and outgoing goods and the number of shops in Wanshigang. Proposals to share tax revenues, these things could have been achieved smoothly, but the only thing that appeared outside Zhaoyang's plan was that she fell in love with the master of Wanshigang, which made them unable to do their best for their own camp.

"Yi'an?"

Zhaoyang raised her head from her deep thoughts, she saw Gu Ruyang standing at the door of the room, standing straight in front of her with one hand supporting the door, the afternoon sun was blocked by her behind her, the whole body was shining With a layer of gold, let you think it looks great.

"What are you doing? Something..." Gu Ruyang looked around and asked after confirming that no one was there, "Is the matter over?"

Zhaoyang nodded, she looked a little tired: "The talk is over."

"Is there anything that Wanshigang needs to contribute to?" Gu Ruyang asked again.

Zhao Yang looked away from Gu Ruyang's body, straightened the laces on her clothes, and stood up from her seat. This girl who has been deeply influenced by royal etiquette since she was young will look special no matter what posture she takes. Elegant and pleasing to the eye, even Gu Ruyang is willing to go straight to her side and support her.

"It's a small matter, don't disturb my son-in-law." Zhao Yang took the initiative to hold Gu Ruyang's hand, only in this way would she feel at ease.

"If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, would you like to go out to see the sea?" Gu Ruyang suggested that the two should not be on official business every day.

Zhaoyang looked at the strong sunlight, she might refuse it normally, but she would also think of a small escape.

"Okay, the arrangement is as good as it is." Zhaoyang said.

On weekdays, Gu Ruyang would go to Jiutian first, and then go to the south from Jiutian to go to sea. If there is no business, Gu Ruyang's going to sea is mostly for sea fishing, long-distance travel, etc. It seems that he deliberately avoided He Sansi and them. Gu Ruyang arranged the boat directly Going out to sea from Wanshi Port, the ship was naturally dispatched by Jiutian, so it was inevitable that Gu Ruyang would have to wait for a while at the port of Wanshi Port with a short notice.

Gu Ruyang is not a person of much importance, but this time Zhaoyang also brought people there, and naturally someone also held up an umbrella for Gu Ruyang. Gu Ruyang has never liked to be served by others, or she wanted to be more at ease, so I paced back and forth by the port, while looking into the distance from time to time, waiting for the arrival of the ship.

"Why are there so many guard posts on the pier?" Fengdi asked curiously.

"Don't you have to ask the son-in-law?" Feng Jian replied, pointing at Gu Ruyang.

Gu Ruyang naturally heard the discussion between the two, and she had nothing to do. She pointed to a sentry post and said, "I have investigated some spies recently, and I don't know where they were sent. Maybe it was Beilu, so I will conduct more investigations." One click is always right.”

"Will that be effective?" Feng Di said, she was naturally straightforward, and she didn't care about asking questions.

Gu Ruyang replied: "I heard from Zeng Shi that two people were arrested, but no one has been found out yet."

Zhaoyang naturally also listened to these conversations in secret, Huo Qishan came to her house today and did not say that anyone from the Green Bee Group had been arrested, but Zhaoyang was also curious about who those people were, Wanshigang was a mixed bag with many ears and eyes, she also knew it.

"Which force does Ru Yang think it will be?" Zhao Yang asked.

Gu Ruyang tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's from Hokuriku, maybe it's from you who want to return to the city, or maybe it's from other forces..." After finishing speaking, Gu Ruyang smiled and pinched Zhaoyang's chin: "It won't be yours anyway."

Zhaoyang was taken aback for a moment, and her heart started beating wildly when Gu Ruyang said these words, but Zhaoyang's expression was still her usual calm, Zhaoyang replied with a smile: "Ruyang just believes that, isn't it?" my people?"

"Naturally, you are my only relative, so naturally you won't harm me."

"Master, here comes the ship."

A sailor's broken dialogue, he is standing on the pier with the ready-made bulwark in his hands.

Gu Ruyang also said to Zhaoyang: "The boat is here, let's go. Today we are going to the hawksbill island. There are a lot of hawksbills there. The sea is very clear and the water temperature is higher than other places..." Gu Ruyang He lowered his voice and continued: "Find a place where there are no people and we can still play in the water."

Gu Ruyang herself was very happy when she said it, but Zhaoyang's mood was extremely heavy, as if she was carrying a stone of a thousand averages. She could only forcefully smile, and followed Gu Ruyang on the boat to go out to sea.

This boat is a bird boat, but it is bigger than ordinary bird boats. The whole body is made of white walnut. The head of a seabird is really painted on the bow, which just fits the curvature of the bow. The inside of the hull There are also a lot of sea fish carved in various shapes and sizes, which are quite cute. There are all kinds of furnishings in the canopy. The most likely thing is fishing gear, with all kinds of sizes and styles. Needless to say, this is one of Gu Ruyang's special fishing boats. one.

Gu Ruyang and Zhaoyang boarded the boat. In addition to Fengjian and Fengdi, Gu Ruyang also brought two personal guards, plus three boatmen, but ten people headed towards Hainan. Standing outside the house, Feng Jian had no choice but to accompany her, Zhaoyang was also sitting in the boat, she looked at the boat curiously, of course it was more to cover up the embarrassment in her heart just now, Gu Ruyang thought that Zhaoyang was still interested in this boat, Instead, she introduced it with pride, mostly talking about the origin of the boat and how many places she went on the boat.

And they didn't know that another boat was passing them by, and the ones in the clothes were Zeng Shi and Gu Haixing.

Zeng Shi's eyes have been fixed on a dilapidated cargo ship. He has been observing this ship for the past few days. At first, he really didn't pay attention to these guys who sell goods at sea, until one day he heard that Huo Qishan occasionally It is really strange to buy fish on board, the majestic General Huo also has many subordinates, and there are also many shops selling fish in Wanshi Harbor, why do you like to buy fish here.

So Zeng Shi sent people to check those salesmen one by one. These people are all people who have done business in Wanshigang for four or five years, and some of them have been doing business for generations. They found some clues, that is, there is a woman living on the boat they observed at this time, this woman is the daughter-in-law of the salesman, but she is much older than the salesman, it is common for poor people not to marry a young wife, The strange thing is that this woman has only come here recently, and how close she is, she will appear when Zhaoyang arrives at Wanshigang.
