Eight black-lacquered camphor wood boxes were placed wetly in the cabin. Lu Yi took a look at them, and the size was similar to what he said before this summer. He was about to order Yang Yue to open all the boxes, but when he looked up, Yang Yue was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that Yang Yue was in a hurry to cook ginger soup for this summer, and as soon as he put down the box, he ran away without waiting for Lu Yi's order.

If it was Jin Yiwei, if he didn't speak, how could anyone dare to move half a step, the six doors would be too loose. Lu Yi took out his dagger, scratched the sealed wax layer, split open the copper lock, and opened the box—

Gold inlaid gemstone egret pot, silver-pointed Cui Shou star turtle-crane pot, point-pointed jade silver lion, jade chi tiger-eared large round cup, etc... The eight-port box contains pure gold plates, bowls, cups, jewelry, silver utensils, various colored jade ware, etc. There are brocade calligraphy and painting, he only glanced at it, and knew that it was very valuable.

In the cabin below, I have changed into dry clothes this summer and wiped my wet hair a little. It happened that Yang Yue cooked ginger soup, she brought it over and drank it, and her body was considered warmer.

"He must have wanted to swallow this batch of birthday cards by himself." She chewed the remaining ginger silk at the bottom of the bowl and chewed it, she thought thoughtfully.

"I can't..." Yang Yue always felt that it was unlikely. "You and I already know about this. We are from Six Doors, and it's not that he doesn't know."

"Maybe it will come to seal our mouths later." Guess this summer.

"You mean... this?"

Yang Yue pulled his hand to his neck.

This summer, he first showed the appearance of a gold ingot: "It should be given to us first, to see if we know each other. If we don't, he will..." He pulled his hand hard on his neck.

Yang Yue looked embarrassed: "I would like to get to know each other, but if daddy knows about this... You dare to accept money?"

After hesitating for a moment this summer, he hesitated: "This set of birthdays, the boss told us to ignore it, no matter who robbed it, it is the same to us in whose hands. Besides, my lord, I was soaked in water. For so long, there is no credit but also hard work, so it's not too much to receive some wages... By the way, how could he get into the water?"

Yang Yue was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and then he turned around and walked out: "I saw black sesame seeds in the kitchen just now. I'll give you a few dumplings."

"and many more!"

Called him this summer and looked at him suspiciously.

Yang Yue felt uncomfortable when he saw him, so he had to say: "As soon as you got into the water, he came out. I wanted to deceive him, but I had to be able to deceive him."

"you… "

The two of them were beating small drums in their hearts. At this moment, a boatman knocked on the door, saying that Lord Jin Yiwei had invited them to the cabin upstairs.

"Are you really here to shut us up?!" Yang Yue said uneasy, "Otherwise, I'll go and talk to Daddy first."

"No hurry, let's go up and see, I'm afraid what he will do."

Pull him up this summer.

When I reached the upper cabin door, I knocked on the door, and a faint voice came from inside: "Come in."

This summer, as soon as they entered the cabin with Yang Yue, they saw Lu Yi. He wore a green lotus-colored straight body, his wet hair was not tied up, just draped behind his head, leaning on the boxwood imitation bamboo chair, frowning at the boxes on the ground.

"...Look, point emerald silver lion!" This summer, Yang Yue stabbed and told him to look at the box.

Yang Yue stole a few glances and whispered to her, "...The golden lion-topped unicorn pot, the golden parrot lychee cup, the cups are probably four or five ounces."

"I'm afraid there is." Jin Xia sighed.

Seeing that these two small arrests were whispering unruly, Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and stared at them coldly: "The two of you sneaked into the water just to swallow this birthday plan?"

After staying this summer, the suitcase is now in his cabin. It is obvious that he wants to swallow this set of birthday guidelines, so the wicked person will file a complaint first.

Yang Yue hurriedly said: "How dare the villain, the adults have a clear investigation, the villain only went into the water to investigate the case."

"Does Yang Zhaotou know?" Lu Yi then asked.

This summer quickly said: "I don't know."

"I know." Yang Yue said at the same time.

The two looked at each other, while Lu Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Know."

"do not know."

The two exchanged words and said in unison. As soon as he finished speaking, this summer he glared at Yang Yue angrily, what did you mean to change your tone? I don't usually see you so smart. The latter patted his forehead angrily.

Seeing the two of them in disarray, Lu Yi looked at them with satisfaction, and then asked, "How did you know the box was hidden underwater? You said." He pointed to Yang Yue.

"... um, um..." Yang Yue was a little stunned by the accusation he had just committed. "... It's like this... There is wax on those boxes, oh, no, there is wax on the ground... And those traces... That's it, and then we Just guess…”

If it was said that Lu Yi was still reluctantly enduring, then when he heard "guess", he could no longer bear it, and raised his hand to signal that Yang Yue didn't need to go on. Then he looked at Jinxia: "You said."

This summer, he said: "Actually, it was just a guess. I didn't expect to be so lucky, and I really found it underwater."

"That's it," Lu Yi nodded and said expressionlessly, "Then you might as well guess, whether I will put the two of you in a box and sink into the river."

"Experience adults really love to joke, haha..." This summer, he laughed dryly, seeing the chill in Lu Yi's eyes, so he could only tell the truth, "One, the dazed sergeant was not Zhongmixiang, but drank the sweat medicine and left it from the cabin. Various traces, especially the boot prints, were done by their own people, at least six people, and they were not considered to be in the wind; secondly, if the box was transported away from the hull, the ship would become lighter, and it would not be docked since yesterday. Up to now, the waterline of the ship has not changed significantly; three, from the wax oil on the floor of the cabin, it can be judged that a large amount of wax oil is used. If it is only for moisture protection, it will not be used so much, so I think it should be to sink the box. Prepare in the water."

"You have already figured it out, but you deliberately concealed it, and you said it wasn't for personal gain." Lu Yi said slowly.

"Wang Fangxing, since he and his subordinates are all suspicious, I naturally don't want to say it in public." This summer smiled ingratiatingly, "Besides, we can't be sure that the box is hidden underwater, so we think we will inform the adults after we find it. "

Lu Yi obviously didn't believe her second half of her words. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea slowly, thinking back to Wang Fangxing's words and deeds: His panic didn't seem like he was pretending, as for those nearby. People, that flag officer, and the expressions of other sergeants... The robbery of birthdays is not a trivial matter. Those who can do this will definitely not be pawns, and at least a small leader in the army. commit crimes.

Before the cup of tea was finished, Lu Yi had already made up his mind. He put down the tea bowl and pointed his finger at Yang Yue:

"You, go and invite Wang Fangxing and the flag officer."

Yang Yue was stunned, he didn't dare to disobey, and went out in a hurry.

call them over? Could it be that Lu Yi wanted to return the birth date to them? For a while this summer, I didn't know what he was thinking about.

Lu Yi said again at this time: "If I remember correctly, after the two of you come back, you will report back to Yang Zhaotou first, and then go into the water, right?"

Now that he has seen it all, this summer, he can't refute, he can only nod his head.

"Did you report the situation on the ship to Yang Zhaotou in detail?"

Looking at him vigilantly this summer, he said vaguely, "I just said it roughly."

"So Yang Zhaotou knew that it was the thief on the ship."

"He doesn't know, I didn't tell him this guess." She knew Jinyiwei's ability to make waves on the ground. In order to prevent him from forcing the charge of stealing the birthday party, she simply took the matter to herself this summer. On the body, "I was curious for a while and insisted on going into the water to investigate."

His slender fingers tapped lightly on the smooth boxwood, and Lu Yi turned his head to look at her.

"... That's my mother's stall. She was unwell, so I went to help." Jin Xia didn't understand why he suddenly asked about this.

Lu Yi nodded and said, "It seems that your family is not well-off. No wonder your mother wants to marry you to the master's family, so as to save a fortune."

"You... you eavesdropped on us!" He actually listened to such shameful things, and this summer was stunned and his face flushed.

Lu Yi was not in a hurry or angry, and pointed out: "So you go into the water, in fact, you want to make a fortune yourself, even if you can't swallow this whole set of birthday guidelines, it's enough to pick up a leak."

What he said is not bad. Look at the items in the box and pick up a unicorn pot casually, so that life at home doesn't have to be tight. Going into the water this summer, in addition to wanting to breathe out, I really want to pick up a leak. Now that he was talking about what was on her mind, she glared at him, and after a while, she spread her hands and said, "Your Excellency, I didn't take anything in my humble position. The boxes are all with you."

"Your luck is indeed good." He said lightly.

This summer, I gritted my teeth secretly, but I dared not to speak out: Young Master, I tossed in the water for a long time early in the morning, but I didn't catch anything, and I was almost accused of trying to steal the birthday card. This is also called good luck! You are lucky, and your whole family is lucky!

Footsteps sounded outside the cabin door, and Yang Yue led Wang Fangxing and the flag officer to come in one after another.

"This... this... this..." As soon as Wang Fangxing entered the door, he saw the eight neat black lacquer camphor wood boxes lying wetly on the ground.

Lu Yi got up and cupped his hands: "I just found it, I wonder if it is the birthday card lost on the ship?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Surprised, Wang Fangxing didn't care about the etiquette for a while, and stepped forward to check the birthday gift in the box. At the same time, Lu Yi waved his hand to signal that Yang Yue would quit this summer. He wanted to watch a good show this summer, so he sneaked around in a small circle and crouched under the cabin window to listen to what was going on inside.

Yang Yue gestured to her and asked her to go with him, but he refused this summer, but dragged him to listen to the corner.

In the cabin, Wang Fangxing saw all the gold and silverware, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings on silk and silk, etc., and heaved a long sigh of relief. He turned to Lu Yi and said happily, "Where did you find these boxes?"

"On your boat."

"We are on board?" Wang Fangxing was puzzled.

"The box is hidden in the water-tight cabin at the bottom of the boat. As for how it is hidden, I think you have to ask your flag officer." Although Lu Yi smiled, his eyes were sharp as knives, and he kept looking at Wang Fangxing, who was standing behind him. side of the black-faced flag officer.

Wang Fangxing turned his head suddenly, unable to say anything: "Sha Xiuzhu!"

The black-faced flag pawn who was called by Sha Xiuzhu stood upright, his chest heaving and heaving, and only stared at Lu Yi... This summer, I don't understand how Lu Yi learned that this was what Sha Xiuzhu did, and he took the risk to get up and take a peek. This banner official is more than seven feet long. Because he has been in the frontier for many years, his exposed skin is dark and rough, and his hands are thick with thick knuckles, which is obviously caused by long-term labor or martial arts.
