Chapter 107 Where is the boy
Huo Xi glanced at the hiding place of Huo Erhuai and the others, and saw that they all stretched their necks and looked towards her in the dark.
trotted back.
"How is it, Xi'er?"
"Father, there seems to be no one inside."
"No one? How could there be no one? Such a big warehouse." Qian Sanduo and others came out from the dark when they heard that there was no one.
Looking at the warehouse in front of me, I couldn't believe it, "Such a large warehouse doesn't need to be guarded at night?"
"No one is guarding it, so it's convenient for us to start. If we dare to swallow our goods, we dare to empty his!" Damn, they are only allowed to bully the poor.
Huo Xi pursed her lips.
"Xi'er, what's wrong? Something's wrong?"
"Dad, I'm worried it's empty."
"Ah? How is this possible?" Maggie and others couldn't believe it.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
A group of people walked to the warehouse.
"Master, they really came." As soon as it got dark, the young master couldn't sit still, and pulled him out, saying that there was something exciting to watch.
The cat has been feeding all night, and the mosquitoes have been fattened up, and there is no excitement. Li Neng wondered if he had offended the young master, and the young master came here to amuse him.
Unexpectedly, just impatient, he saw a group of fishermen who had been tricked during the day come to smash the scene.
It was exciting to watch.
"Come here for nothing." Gong Ziyi clicked his tongue.
"Ah, it's a waste of time? Didn't you see the excitement?"
Gong Ziyi rolled his eyes at him, but wondered if Li could see it.
"I mean, they came here for nothing. With such a big commotion, no one came out inside. There is only one possibility, that is, there is no one inside and there is no goods."
"Impossible, the young master asked me to check, I checked, this warehouse has been rented for almost a year. Back and forth, storing goods, it can't be unattended." Li can't believe it.
Gong Ziyi sneered twice, "Either the warehouse has changed hands, or the opponent's chess board is big and the chess routines they play are deep."
"Ah, the young master is saying that the owner of the warehouse played chess a year ago?" Li Neng opened his mouth wide, how many people will be deceived by this!
Gong Ziyi stared at the actions of Huo Xi and the others by the warehouse, and said leisurely: "People come and go at the dock, and the relationship is complicated. If you have been playing chess for a year, and no one is found to report it, it can only mean that there are people inside. People with deep backgrounds. This time they used to hit a stone with a pebble.”
Li Neng frowned: "Is it possible?" So powerful? Set up at Huai'an Wharf for a year? Haven't been taken to the lair yet?
"Won't."
"Ah?" Young Master, what does this mean, Li Neng turned to look at him.
"It's impossible to make a scam for a year without being discovered. It should be that the warehouse has changed hands not long ago. It is specially set up to deceive individual customers from different places who are not deeply involved in the world and who are new to doing business."
"Aren't they pitiful?" They might dig a hole, dig a few holes, and move them to the ground.
The group of people in front of them might come here with all their wealth and come to Huai'an to make a fortune, but they might have to go back with nothing. Tsk tsk, miserable.
"Master, should we help them?"
"How to help? Just say you can help?"
"No, haven't we seen those two gatekeepers? After coming out of the inn next door to us, maybe the owner behind it also lives there?"
Gong Ziyi's eyes flashed. Looking to the side of the warehouse, he saw that the group of people had climbed into the warehouse with a human wall.
"Master, they're going in!"
"Turning in is also a waste of time."
Sure enough, after a cup of tea time, the people inside climbed over the wall again.
"Xi'er, the inside is indeed empty."
"Damn it!" Qian Xiaoxia and the others were so angry that they kicked several times against the warehouse wall.
Huo Erhuai leaned against the wall and fell limply to the ground, pulling his hair with both hands, muttering incessantly: "What can we do? What can we do, our family can't afford it."
Yang Fu was very annoyed, and took a look at Huo Xi, "Xi'er, let's throw a fire in and burn this storehouse down! I don't believe they won't come out!"
It is impossible to let the other party go so easily.
"Yes, burn it! Lead the snake out of its hole."
Qian Xiaoxia and others booed.
"The warehouse is burned, the other party is fine, you may have to go to the yamen prison to stay for a while."
Huo Xi just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by someone, and turned his head to look.
"Who?" Everyone also turned their heads to look.
Huo Xi saw under the moonlight, a young man was walking towards them slowly with his back to the light, but he couldn't see clearly.
Yang Fu rushed forward: "Are you the owner of the warehouse?"
"That's right, you are going to burn down my warehouse, can I still come out?" The boy said leisurely.
"Okay, you are finally willing to come out, quickly pay us for the cloth!" Yang Fu rushed forward, and was about to grab the opponent's skirt suddenly.
Gong Ziyi shifted his body and dodged. He was a head taller than Yang Fu, and looked down at Yang Fu leisurely.
"You pay us for the cloth!" Yang Fu wanted to pounce on him again.
"Uncle!" Huo Xi called him to stop.
"Xi'er, ask him to pay for our cloth!"
"He is not the owner, he just came to watch the fun."
"Oh? How do you know I'm here to watch the excitement?" Gong Ziyi looked at Huo Xi.
"Aren't you here to watch the excitement, or come to give us money?" Huo Xi was feeling upset, and her tone was a little bad.
Li Neng pulled Gong Ziyi from behind, young master, you can take it easy, don't get so close to watch the excitement, you might be accidentally injured.
Seeing a group of people staring at him with vigilance on their faces, Gong Ziyi smiled, "You guys are making such a big commotion, and no one comes out. Obviously the inside is empty, otherwise there is no one guarding it?"
Huo Xi gritted his teeth.
She also felt that it was unnecessary to go in just now, but if she didn't go in, she couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.
Gong Ziyi looked at Huo Xi, who was much shorter than him with his head down, and felt that if the blow continued, the kid in front of him would burst into tears.
Cleared his throat and said, "Are you here to transport grain?"
"What are you doing?" Qian Xiaoxia and others stopped in front of Huo Xi and Yang Fu.
Tut. Gong Ziyi clicked his tongue, he had to be so vigilant, how could he be tricked.
"I'm curious. You transported grain all the way, but you didn't let you disembark. Food, drink and shelter are all on board?"
"if not?"
Li Neng looked at Gong Ziyi puzzled, young master, what do you want to do.
I heard Gong Ziyi say again: "I've never eaten, drank or lived on a boat. It's pure curiosity to see people who are different from me."
Li Neng opened his mouth wide, young master, are you serious?
Our family’s fleet followed you all the way to Huai’an, and everyone lived and slept on the boat. Could it be possible, young master? Do you sleep in the sky, or in the water?
Gong Ziyi gave him a sideways glance, and said to Huo Xi and the others: "I stayed in a hotel before, and I met the gatekeeper of this warehouse."
Huo Xi's eyes lit up, "Where is it?"
Gong Ziyi put his hands behind his back and didn't speak.
"What conditions do you have?"
Gong Ziyi was a little surprised, and looked down at her, "I can take you to find the two gatekeepers. But as I said just now, I'm curious, and I want to take a look on your tank boat."
"We are not tank boats, but grain transport boats temporarily recruited by fishermen."
"It's okay, I just haven't stayed on a boat, I want to see it."
Yang Fu patted his chest: "It's not difficult, as long as you take us to find those people, you can board my boat as you like, and you can stay as long as you want."
"That's settled! Let's go, I'll take you to find someone."
There will be a third update later~
