Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 298 Strange Thief
"Ah."

Li Ke nodded and left with Zhao Hu. Soon Zhao Hu brought Li Ke to the place where they built the ship. At this time, there were indeed many semi-finished products. These were the best results they could make. Li Ke After carefully looking around, I feel that these are all right, and the next step is to carry out renovation and detailed construction.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

Zhao Hu took Li Ke to see these ships, and asked Li Ke cautiously. He was afraid that Li Ke would not be satisfied with the things they made and would have to redo them at that time.

This is true, small things will mainly damage his image in the heart of His Highness the King of Shu, which is a big thing for him.

The reason why he took the initiative to transfer here is because he admires His Highness the King of Shu very much, and he has heard all the great achievements of His Highness the King of Shu.

I just look forward to seeing him one day, but now that I finally see him, I dare not say anything.

Li Ke nodded.

"It's not bad, these ships are built very well, everyone has worked hard, I will give you a blueprint later, and you can build according to it."

When Li Ke saw these ships, he was already thinking about the next construction method, but these things need to be drawn in his mind for the time being.

This process may be a bit cumbersome, and he plans to go back and do it again. I'm afraid there will still be some modifications that need to be made, mainly to make these ships more perfect.

As for the specific construction method, he will also tell them in detail, but that will be in the future, and it will definitely not be possible now.

Of course Zhao Hu understood what Li Ke meant, so he nodded repeatedly.

"It's fine if His Highness thinks there is no problem. There is no rush for the blueprint. Your Highness can slowly conceive. It is really hard work for His Highness to find His Highness this time."

It was only then that Li Ke noticed that the man in front of him seemed to be very respectful to him, but he didn't say anything about it. He had seen such a person before, and there was nothing worth making a fuss about.

"Since there's nothing wrong here, I'll go back first."

Li Ke came here today to see the construction of these ships. By the way, he said hello to the people here, told them that he had come, and then proceeded to the next step of the plan.

So now that there is nothing to do, I plan to go back.

Just when Li Ke was about to leave, Zhao Hu hesitated and finally spoke.

"Your Highness, there is actually one thing... I don't know if I should tell His Highness. Although this matter should not be handled by His Highness, I would like to ask His Highness's opinion."

After hearing Zhao Hu say this, Li Ke stopped. Judging from the other party's appearance, he should really need his help with something.

Their affairs are naturally Li Ke's affairs, so there is no question of whether they are troublesome or not.

"You can just say whatever you want, if I can do it, I will naturally help."

Zhao Hu just had an attitude of trying, and never thought that Li Ke would really stop. After the other party filled it out, he was a little at a loss.

"It's like this! Not long ago, we found that the shipyard was always missing things. I also sent people to look for them, but there were no clues. Now I have sent more people to patrol every day, but there are still people in the shipyard. I lost something, but there is still no clue, I have been troubled by this matter for a long time, so I want to see His Highness's opinion."

When Zhao Hu said this, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, something happened in the territory under his jurisdiction, and he himself couldn't even find the person who committed the crime. He was really incompetent.

Li Ke was more interested in this matter. He had never seen such a situation before, so he was immediately interested in this matter.

"Tell me about it in detail."

Li Ke said that he sat down nearby, and seeing that Li Ke was willing to listen to him, Zhao Hu was very excited and told him the whole process of what happened.

This incident happened about half a month ago. Their shipyard lost a batch of timber, which they had just pulled here. It was originally intended to be used, but they never wanted to be stolen.

Early the next morning, Zhao Hu sent people to look for it, but there was no trace, so he immediately put on strict defense and sent people to guard the wood by the way.

As a result, on the second night, their wood was lost again. The person who looked at the wood that night said that they found nothing unusual.

This matter itself is a bit unbelievable, Zhao Hu thought they were lazy and fell asleep, otherwise how could they not see the wood?
He asked the guarding soldiers about this, but they said that they only felt in a trance for a while, and then they had no impression, and when they reacted, the visual inspection was gone.

But they said that the state didn't last long, about fifteen minutes, and it was absolutely impossible to transport all the wood away and disappear from their sight in fifteen minutes.

Zhao Hu can guarantee this, but because of this, this matter is a bit out of the ordinary.

After that, he immediately went to report to the officials. This matter was of great importance. After all, the batch of ships they built were all for the imperial court. If something went wrong, the county magistrate here would not be able to escape responsibility.

But the county magistrate of Suzhou has had a headache for so long, and this matter has not been resolved. Although they have strictly defended their side, it seems to be of no use at all. If they should throw wood, they will still throw wood.

It's just that the other party is much more restrained than before. Before, they would lose wood every day, but now they only lose a batch of wood every seven days or so.

But even so, this matter has to be resolved. If they continue to let it go, they may suffer a very big loss.

Zhao Hu has been unable to do anything about this matter, and now he wants to ask Li Ke for help.

After Li Ke heard the whole story, he nodded thoughtfully. This thing was indeed a bit strange, but he could probably understand what was going on.

It should be that the enemy used some special method to get them into that state, maybe it was a kind of hallucination. There are many herbs or smoke that can make people hallucinate in this world, which can make them fall into it without knowing it. trick.

At that time, the other party can transport the wood away in an open and aboveboard manner, and they have nothing to do.

"I see, how long has it been since the last time it was seven days?"

Li Ke asked.

"It's tomorrow."

Zhao Hu thought about it carefully and answered immediately.

Li Ke nodded.

"If I come here tomorrow like this, I want to see who is causing the trouble."

Li Ke is still very confident about this. Today he naturally wants to go back to draw the blueprints. Anyway, he will come over tomorrow. dare to steal.
