After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

At this point, Tan Zhixu looked at the captain who was about to go to the dock with him.

The eyes on the boat swept back and forth between the two ladies, and finally their eyes fell on Tan Zhixu, "Yes, what the second lady said is that the second lady has already said that we cannot use the ships of the Marquis Mansion to bring private goods. "

"is it?"

Mrs. Zhou still had an expression of disbelief. She even covered her mouth with her hands and smiled coquettishly, "Brother and sister, you are really good at buying people off."

"Madam, please don't speak like that. This matter is really not the fault of the Second Madam. It is all the old slave's fault. It was the old slave who made his own decision."

The captain thought of how well Tan Zhixu had taken care of him in the past, and now he didn't even want to see her being suspected by the people in the Hou Mansion.

After speaking, the captain went directly to Jing'an Hall.

The old lady was just about to take a rest, but when she saw the captain, she looked unhappy and asked, "What do you want to say when you come?"

"Old madam, this old slave is here to admit his mistake. Now what happened has happened. Everything is the old slave's fault and has nothing to do with the second madam. I hope the old madam will not anger the second madam because of this."

The captain looked flustered. After he finished speaking, he did not forget to salute the old lady, kowtowed, and kept saying, "It has nothing to do with the second lady, it is all the old slave's fault."

In fact, the old lady did not suspect Tan Zhixu in this matter. After all, although she did not like her daughter-in-law in the past, she was always considerate in her work and would not do anything harmful to herself.

But if something goes wrong, someone has to take responsibility, and it’s hard to let an old woman like her take the responsibility.

"Okay, get up, I already know about this."

"Yes, thank you, madam."

Seeing what the old lady said, the captain thought that she would not embarrass the second lady anymore, so he stumbled back to the yard and happened to hear Zhou's sarcastic words.

"Brother and sister, if I were you, I would definitely go back to the government office to admit my mistake now. I wouldn't want the Master to return without success, right?"

"Madam, this matter has not been investigated clearly, how can we let the second lady go to the government office? Besides, even if I want to go, it is the old slave who is going."

When Zhou saw the captain chatting again, she couldn't help but frowned, "Let me ask, what benefit did Tan Zhixu give you? To make you so sincere?"

"Madam, the Second Madam has always treated us guys equally, and is very kind to us and our families. The Second Madam is loyal, so of course we cannot break our promise."

The captain's righteous words instantly rendered Zhou Shi speechless.

In fact, Tan Zhixu herself was moved by the captain. She didn't expect that he would step forward at this time. This matter was indeed his fault, but how many people would bear the consequences like this?

Thinking of the care she had taken for these guys in the past, she suddenly understood that good people are rewarded in this world.

"Okay, Captain, you go to the dock first."

"Yes."

After receiving Tan Zhixu's words, the captain went straight to the dock.

As soon as the captain left, Zhou's chatterbox was opened again. He scolded her for a while before he wanted to go back to his room, but Tan Zhixu blocked her way.

"Sister-in-law, if I were you, I would not say such words at such a time. After all, it was our Marquis's ship that got into trouble this time. If I were really blamed, I would not be the only one to be punished."

Tan Zhixu's solemn words made Zhou stunned for a moment.

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Tan Zhixu knew that her words had an effect. The corners of her mouth raised, "Sister-in-law, please don't be so reckless in the future."

At this point, Tan Zhixu turned around and left the Hou Mansion.

By the time she arrived at the dock, the news about the Hou Mansion's ship had already spread a lot, especially since the Taifu had intervened in the matter, and someone had spread the word very well.

Tan Zhixu was still thinking about why Taifu was involved and didn't want Gu Huaijing to come. He couldn't help but drag Tan Zhixu to the house where he was inspecting, "Master Gu, what are you doing?"

"Second Madam, I already know about the ship. Don't you think it's strange?"

"It's strange."

Tan Zhixu did not avoid it and followed Gu Huaijing's words.

Originally, she didn't expect Gu Huaijing to say anything, but she frowned and said, "The goods belong to Taifu Wang."

"what?"

Hearing this, Tan Zhixu was stunned for a moment, and it's no wonder.

Since the goods belong to the Taifu, it makes sense for him to participate.

But what kind of goods does the master need to transport in the name of a regular customer? Now that it has been lost, he still has to go to such trouble to hold him accountable?

Tan Zhixu fell into greater confusion again.

Gu Huaijing poured tea and pushed it to her, "The ship has been salvaged, let's go take a look first."

"You..." Tan Zhixu looked at Gu Huaijing who was so eager to help, and suddenly she didn't know what to say. After much thought, she decided to refuse, but Gu Huaijing opened his mouth before her, "This is This is something you can’t handle on your own, so let me investigate with you.”

Gu Huaijing said it sincerely, and Tan Zhixu couldn't find any reason to refuse.

After a moment of silence, Tan Zhixu nodded.

After the two of them went out, Gu Yu immediately stepped forward and said, "Girl, the boat is at the shore."

Tan Zhixu glanced at Gu Huaijing without saying anything, just nodded, and then went to the dock with him.

Gu Huaijing's people were guarding the ship, so other merchants who wanted to go over and have a look could only stay away. When they saw Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing arriving, they quickly dispersed.

Tan Zhixu had no time to care about so much now, so he hurriedly boarded the damaged ship.

Thinking that the ships in the Hou Mansion have special personnel to take care of them every month, there is absolutely no possibility of sinking. Now that they are sinking with the Taifu's cargo, something is fishy.

Thinking of this, Tan Zhixu went directly to the end of the boat. Gu Huaijing took Teng Xi to investigate in front. The two of them found out quickly.

When Guyu called Gu Huaijing to the stern of the boat, Tan Zhixu's face turned livid.

"Xu Xu, what's wrong?"

Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing were both stunned when the long-lost title suddenly appeared.

Their eyes met, and there was something in their eyes that was self-evident.

It was Gu Huaijing who broke the silence, "What was found?"

"look."

Tan Zhixu returned to normal, pointed at a scratch on the stern of the boat, and frowned.

Gu Huaijing followed the direction of Tan Zhixu's finger and instantly saw the traces of that place. It was obvious that the water outlet was here, but with these obvious man-made traces, it would be nonsense to say that the ship sank into the sea for no reason. .

"Who is it? Why are you targeting the ships of the Marquis?"

"Maybe it's not just for the Hou Mansion?"

Gu Huaijing's expression suddenly changed and he turned to look at the shore not far away.

He glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Tan Zhixu, "I know this batch of goods belongs to the Taifu, so there should be a lot of people there."

"Are you saying you're targeting Taifu?"

"This hypothesis cannot be ruled out."
