"drive!"
The coachman whipped the horse, the wheels rolled, and two luxurious carriages drove away one after another.
The one in front is Lin Chuan’s... Oh no, it’s Su Xian’s carriage, and the one in the back is Tang Shuwan’s carriage.
In the end, Su Xian won and got the chance to escort Tang Shuwan back home.
On the side of the street, Lin Chuan watched the two carriages disappear at the end of the street. His face looked strange , sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and he murmured:
"...Brother Su, you are really amazing . You can win the heart of Miss Tang...But I can only hang out with the prostitutes in the brothel..."
At this time, two servants came over and asked, "Sir, where are we going now? Shall I hire a car?"
Lin Chuan came back to his senses, looked at the Chunxiang River across the street, and said, "Let's not take the car, let's take a boat and go directly to Pinyu Pavilion and enjoy the scenery along the coast!"
“…”
Lin Chuan took his two little servants and sailed downstream.
At the gate of the county school, Liu Ziyun's face turned pale. He shook his sleeves fiercely, turned around and strode away.
The lackeys in Confucian robes immediately followed, swearing foul language as they walked.
The young ladies from every family in the city were picked up by the carriages sent by their families.
As for the onlookers, they gathered at the gate of the county school and chatted for a while, but when they saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they dispersed.
…
It is said that Su Xian escorted Tang Shuwan back to the county government office. The two got off the car and chatted briefly before Tang Shuwan slowly returned home.
She wanted to invite Su Xian to her house, but she couldn't bring herself to speak...
After the beautiful figure disappeared behind the gate of the county government's backyard, Su Xian withdrew his gaze, looked at Lin Chuan's luxurious carriage, and said to the driver:
"Take me to the Grand Canal Dock west of the city."
"okay!"
Just as Su Xian was about to get into the car, he suddenly saw a large group of people rushing out from the street next to the county government office, all riding horses and walking in a hurry.
The leader was a woman with long legs, a tall figure, bangs at her eyebrows, and an oval face. It was Tang Shujing.
Behind Tang Shujing was a group of constables dressed in green constable uniforms embroidered with gold thread, led by Constable Lin, who followed closely behind holding the reins.
What a coincidence... Su Xian immediately waved and shouted, "Miss Tang, please stay!"
"Who is calling me, the female detective?"
Tang Shujing looked back and saw that it was Su Xian. She frowned and stopped the horse. Then she urged the horse to Su Xian's side and shouted, "Brother Su...Shi."
"Where are you going, Miss Tang, with so many people? Are you going to catch bandits?" Su Xian asked with a smile.
"You... what are you doing here, brother? Never mind, if you want to see my father, just knock on the door. I have something important to do, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company."
Having said that, Tang Shujing turned her horse around and left.
Su Xian said slowly, "I want to go to the Grand Canal Wharf in the west of the city!"
Tang Shujing turned her horse back and asked in astonishment, "Are you going to the Grand Canal Wharf in the west of the city too?"
"Yes. Wait, Miss Tang is going there too? What a coincidence, haha, why don't I go with you? You have more people and you are all detectives, so it will be safer."
Tang Shujing really wanted to slap herself in the face. After thinking for a while, she refused, "No, we are going to catch bandits. It will be inconvenient to bring you along."
"I won't be a burden to you."
"No, you go by yourself. I have something else to do so I'll leave first..."
Tang Shujing turned the horse's head again and whipped the horse's belly.
Su Xian also waved his hand again and shouted loudly: "Miss Tang, do you still remember what I said to you two days ago? For example, pray to God or something like that."
After hearing this, Tang Shujing's whole body froze.
He couldn't whip anymore with the whip raised high. He turned around and stared at Su Xian for a long time, then finally nodded and agreed:
"Okay, you... Brother Shi can come with us, but you must not move around. I don't want to have to free my hands to save you while I'm catching bandits."
"It's natural..."
Before Su Xian could finish his words, Tang Shujing had already turned her horse around and continued on her way.
This girl...Su Xian quickly got into the car and told the driver to follow the detectives.
They bumped out of the city to the west and walked for several miles along the fairly wide and neat official road. Dozens of riders and a carriage finally arrived at their destination.
The Grand Canal Dock in the west of the city.
Su Xian got off the car, told the driver to wait there, then shamelessly mixed in with the constables and broke into the dock together.
Yes, it was a real intrusion.
Because the officials in charge of the wharf business were not under the jurisdiction of the Leshou County government, they did not give Tang Shujing face and did not allow the detectives to set foot on the wharf.
Tang Shujing immediately became furious and used "reason" to convince everyone. After she taught all the officials and guards at the dock a lesson, the detectives and Su Xian finally entered the warehouse area at the dock.
Su Xian, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but feel scared.
Tang Shujing really did it without hesitation. Her movements were clean and neat. The dozens of guards on the dock were no match for her alone...
Through this incident, Su Xian had a clear understanding of Tang Shujing's fighting ability.
This Tang Shujing is indeed a violent girl, a female Tyrannosaurus. Should we be nicer to her in the future?
Su Xian thought so in his heart.
While I was thinking about all sorts of things, a group of people had already arrived at Warehouse No. "Bing 4".
This is it...Su Xian came back to his senses instantly and secretly became extremely alert.
"Open the lock!" Tang Shujing shouted to the clerk in charge of the warehouse.
"Oh, Captain Tang, there is only ordinary charcoal in this warehouse. There are no hidden bandits." The clerk with a bruised face and nose was holding a bunch of keys in his hand, and the long keys made a jingling sound when they collided.
"Since it is just ordinary charcoal, then open the door. Are you afraid that this goddess will catch your charcoal? Unlock the door!" Tang Shujing glared.
The gold and silver hidden by the bandits will be confiscated soon... Tang Shujing looked serious and angry on the surface, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
She even imagined the scene of being praised by her father and the weekly secretary after she seized a large amount of gold and silver...
Su Xian, who was among the group of detectives, noticed that Tang Shujing's mouth corners were quietly raised... and then his mouth corners also slowly raised.
This silly girl didn’t even know that I was using her...Su Xian suddenly felt a strong sense of superiority and was waiting to see her get disappointed and angry.
The clerk, with a bruised face and nose, had no choice but to pick out a copper key, insert it into the copper lock, and then push open the warehouse door.
Tang Shujing and the detectives filed in.
Su Xian took a deep breath and followed behind.
The warehouse is not big, only about 20 square meters, with a brick and stone structure and is relatively high. The walls are painted white, but most of the walls have been stained black, making it look a bit dirty and messy.
In the middle of the warehouse, hundreds of baskets were neatly stacked, all filled with long, pitch-black objects.
Tang Shujing, who was very interested, picked up a long object and said after careful examination: "This is charcoal!"
