Now it has entered June, it is the hottest season of the year, especially in southern cities such as Suzhou, the red sun in the sky is like fire, constantly shining a hot light, so that the road paved by the green stone slab near the dock is hot, and the eggs can be cooked on the top.

But even so, the already somewhat silent dock was busy and lively because of an order from the adults, and the servants in the city either used carts or directly shoulder-to-shoulder, and constantly carried some silk, tea, porcelain and other local specialties to several large ships that were docking on the edge of the port.

When I saw this scene, many people had a surprised expression, which does not mean that there is a dragon king angry at the sea, will they shoot the merchant ships of the official government?Why is the government ready to go to sea this time, and they are not afraid of another blood?

Originally in these circumstances, many merchants in the city will find the city department, hoping to be able to entrust their own goods to the official ships to overseas countries, but now, but now, there is no such scene, the merchants are just as strange as ordinary people to look at all this, and keep this matter in mind to see if the merchant ship will return safely after a while.

After three or five days so busy, this morning, several large ships set sail under the watchful eyes of many people and slowly sailed toward the blue sea.But the people who watched them leave did not know that in fact, these ships in the sea were not hidden in the ships they had seen the various special goods loaded, but replaced by thousands of water soldiers and war weapons such as bows and bows.

Just the night before, after the people in the city had rested, the city's customs and the Suzhou Guard's official army cooperated with each other to steal the dragon and turn, and replaced the few merchant ships full of goods and several other empty ships.Just because the sails and flags were changed at the same time, the style of these sea ships was similar, so they hid from almost all the people.

After watching the fleet go far, the look on the faces of the city officials such as Tao Yong standing at the port was not relaxed.Because this is only the first step of this plan, in the end what kind of results will appear, whether there will be variables, but they can not guess.

“Adult, do you really think this law works?”A subordinate official asked with some incredibility.

Tao Yong gently shook his head: "I am afraid this official is not easy to say."But as Mr. Lu said, some things still need to be tried, if you can really find out the hidden feelings.I'm only worried that this test will still get nowhere... Let's go back and see if Mr. Lu has any clue."

The officials quickly rushed back to the city's customs gate, and saw a heavy-looking land in the main hall.This made their hearts one of them, and Tao Yong took a deep breath before asking, “Lord Lu, what can you find this time?”

This time, the plan is to open the official government to start the matter of going to sea, and continue to carry out relevant preparations.In the dark, Lu Wei sent the people to stare at the wind and grass nearby, as long as there are any suspicious people, or anyone in the official government has contact with suspicious people, Jin Yiwei will immediately take the suspect.

To be honest, the idea of arranging this point in Tao Yong’s heart is quite tangled and complicated.He hoped that he would really gain something, and he was afraid that Jin Yiwei would find the suspect in the city.So when asked about this point, his heart also hung up, his eyes were even more closely fixed on Lu Wei's face, waiting for him to give himself an answer.

Lu Wei was silent for a moment before shaking his head: "At least there is no clue in this regard at present."That is to say, apart from a few of our officials here, people up and down the city are not aware of our changing merchant ships.”

“If they had not encountered any attack by a sea-drinker...” Someone asked, and Lu Wei’s answer was, “Then wait for what happens to the merchant ships after they go out to sea to see the results.”

It can be seen that Lu Wei is still quite contradictory to what kind of ghost dragon king and so on.People don’t talk much anymore, and everything can only wait for things to develop.

Half a month soon passed, when the few people thought that they should return suddenly after two or three months, or let many people feel a little unprepared.And when the ship actually walked down hundreds of footsteps and some vain official army, the people seemed more and more surprised, what is the matter?Before the sea is not a merchant ship, how to become a soldier ship?

However, these officers did not pay attention to the people's questions, returned to the barracks, and the generals with the soldiers rushed to the city's headquarters and saw the long-awaited Lu Wei and other officials.

When I saw these people coming back unscathed, Lu Wei already knew the results, but he still subconsciously asked, “How about, what twists and turns can you encounter this time out to sea?”

"If you return to the adults, this road sign has led the fleet to travel no less than a hundred miles, and they are about to reach the territory of the country."As a result, there was nothing unusual at all.It is only because of the limited food on board that it does not dare to go too far and bring the army back.”The general was very excited to report.

Lu Wei listened, his eyebrows were tight, and he nodded, "It's hard for you, so let's go back to camp."After the general took away, he looked at Tao Yong and others who seemed to have some ideas on the side: "Finally try again, let the real merchant ship go to sea."It is not too far away to return to the ship after a hundred miles.If there really is a dragon king, this is enough for him to do it."

“The officer obeyed.”Although I knew that this was a very risky thing to do, gambling with the ship's crew and the goods, but since the Lord Lu ordered it, Tao Yong could only do it.

The next morning, several ships went out to sea.This time, the reaction of the people was different from before, because they could not guess what the government was thinking.I just hope that these ships will return safely.

Compared with the last time, when the merchant ship left, the officials of the city department seemed to be very nervous, and from time to time, officials ran to the dock to see the sea.Even if it is known that the ships, if they go well, will not be able to turn around so early, but there will still be unconscious people who will look at the situation there.

As for the Lu Wei side is completely stopped, not to run to the city to understand the situation, as if they have already been obedient.However, under the cover of this calm performance, it is the surveillance operation in the dark, as early as after the decision to send a merchant ship out to sea, Lu Wei has let his people closely focus on many officials who know the matter, including the city's brocade to raise Tao Yong.

As long as any of them makes any strange move, these spies will send the message back, and Lu Wei will have an excuse to ask people.But again he was disappointed, and during these days everything was normal, and they did not see any contact with anyone outside the gate.

“Was it wrong that the news didn’t come out of the gate?”At this time, even Lu Wei did not feel that he had doubts about his judgment, "Or the other party does not intend to attack these merchant ships this time."But that is not right, and when that comes, the dragon king curse will not break through, and they will not make such a choice."

The more you think about it, the more you feel that this matter can't be said, and in the end, Lu Wei can only temporarily throw the problem aside and wait for the results to appear.

Half a month passed again, the merchant ship did not return; twenty days later, there was still no half-message; until twenty-five days later, there was still no news of the merchant ship, and the people were surprised that the big things were not good.For if it had been done as promised, the merchant ships would have returned long ago.Now there can only be one explanation for this result - these ships, like the former official merchant ships, have encountered a disaster at sea and will never come back!

It was the end of July, the weather had turned cold, but at this time in the city's main hall of the gate of the city, there was a lot of sweat on the face.Even Lu Wei so calm people, at this time is full of uneasiness, from time to time to wipe the forehead, the sweat beads erased.

How could it be?What is next?

All eyes revealed these two questions, although they did not directly ask Lu Wei or trouble, but they looked at the Lord Lu's eyes are already wrong.There is a lot less fear, but there is a little more suspicion and distrust.

“It is true that I am responsible for this matter, and the officer will plead with the court at that time.”After a long silence, Lu Wei finally said: "But, even so, the official still believes that this sea disaster is man-made, there must be something we have neglected, so that some small people can seize the cracks, and thus succeed one after another."

"Adult, the lower official really can not agree with your statement, if it is really man-made, who can have such a thing, can actually know all the plans of my city's customs, except for the lower officials, there can be no such people in this door!"Does the adult think that the officer leaked the inside out?”At last, Tao Yong could not endure, and said what he had said for a long time.

Lu Wei was silent, at this time his heart was full of doubts, but he did not know how to say it, only to stand up: "This official does not mean this, Tao should not be too concerned."Feeling bored, he planned to go out for a walk, so breathable.

After directly out of the gate, Lu Wei did not even get on the horse, and waved his hand to let several guards who wanted to go forward to protect and retreat: "I think one person is quiet, you don't have to follow."Go up the long street.

And they did not find that at this time, a pair of eyes full of heavy killing had been fixed from the window of the nearby restaurant!
