Chapter 1064
After hearing what Ma Baoguo said, Shen Lin and Zhang Hai's expressions became serious and they immediately became alert.
However, Wei Wu did not seem too nervous. Instead, he asked with some anticipation.
"Oh? Can you tell me more specifically where your guess comes from?"
"Yes, my lord!"
Ma Baoguo bowed and then explained the origin of his guess.
"According to the report from the people I left at the dock, three ships from distant voyages docked at the dock yesterday."
"But the problem is that after these three ships docked, they neither unloaded their cargo nor had anyone disembarked or come ashore. They just stayed there."
"From yesterday to today, only during meal times did people get off the ship to buy food, which is very abnormal."
After listening to what Ma Baoguo said, Wei Wu frowned slightly and then asked a question.
"Have you sent anyone aboard to investigate?"
Ma Baoguo nodded immediately, and then continued to explain:
"I'm afraid of alerting the enemy and ruining your plan, so I dare not send anyone aboard to inspect during the day."
"We only arranged for one person to investigate at night, but those three ships were under guard all night, so there was no way to get close to the ships."
Just now Ma Baoguo said that these three ships docked at the port without unloading cargo or disembarking passengers. Common sense suggests that this is a bit strange.
But these three ships actually have people guarding them all night long, which is really a big problem.
If these were really the Yuan Mongolian killers hired by the wealthy businessmen and gentry, then Ma Baoguo's guess was correct.
It is impossible for these people to stay in Suzhou for a long time, which will increase the risk of exposure, so action will be taken as soon as they arrive.
Since these people arrived yesterday, the most likely scenario is that they will take action tonight.
Wei Wu immediately laughed when he thought that the problem could be solved tonight.
"Okay, I got it. Go and inform the brothers of the Royal Guards to lie in ambush and be on guard against the enemy at all times."
"Yes, sir, please rest assured. This time I have arranged fifty brothers around. If they dare to come, they will never return alive!"
Upon hearing Wei Wu's instructions, Ma Baoguo immediately patted his chest and promised, then turned around to make arrangements.
After Ma Baoguo left, Wei Wu quickly walked to the room where the flight training simulator was placed and put the equipment into the system warehouse.
There is only one of this thing, and it cannot be manufactured yet. It would be troublesome if it were to break.
After putting away the equipment and confirming that there was no problem, Wei Wu took out an automatic rifle and handed it to Shen Lin and Zhang Hai.
"Although the Jinyiwei have made some arrangements, it's better to be safe than sorry. If anything goes wrong, it's up to you two."
"Remember, if a conflict does occur, don't kill them. Try to shoot their limbs to disable them from attacking."
Shen Lin and Zhang Hai took the automatic rifles from Wei Wu and responded in unison:
"Yes, Master, we know what to do."
"Well, then we'll just wait for the rat to come to our door."
Ten minutes later, Wei Wu sat at the stone table in the yard, on which was placed an ancient wrought iron tripod-shaped wind furnace.
There is a copper kettle on the stove, and white steam is emitting from the spout of the kettle. A set of tea sets is placed next to it.
Pour the boiling water from the copper kettle into the teapot. After a simple operation, the delicate fragrance of tea will waft out from the cup.
Shen Lin and Zhang Hai stood on both sides behind Wei Wu, keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully to any unusual movements.
At the same time, while Wei Wu was savoring his tea, the Jinyiwei outside the inn were lurking with bated breath.
They even held their breath, constantly on guard against anything that might happen.
As time passed, the sky grew darker and darker, and it was already the hour of Hai, which was a little after ten o'clock in the evening.
It is said that a dark and windy night is a good time for murder, but tonight the sky is cloudless and the moonlight shines down without any obstruction.
Even if there were no lights on the street, the moonlight would not make it completely dark and impossible to see anything.
