Si Haochen ordered him to go down, took a look at the assassin who was dragged down, and then went upstairs.
The few people who came to watch the excitement on the deck just now saw that Prince Yun had left, so they dared to step forward and ask: "Have all the assassins been caught?"
"I just heard that there is a snake demon, is it true?" Censor Zhongcheng was so frightened by the voice that he almost fell off the bed."
"It's nothing, it's just the assassin who was trying to scare you." Fifteen said with a smile, "We have just checked and there is no assassin who slipped through the net. Everyone, please go back and rest."
Censor Zhongcheng was a timid man who cared about his life: "Please send someone to check my cabin, in case there is a thief hiding there."
"Okay." Fifteen nodded, "If anyone else wants to check the cabin, we will send the guards to check it."
Some people said no, and some called the guards to check.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Fifteen touched the old iron hidden in his sleeve and said, "Master doesn't look angry, don't be afraid. I'll boil eggs for you later."
Lao Tie followed Fifteen's sleeves, twisted and climbed to his shoulders, coiled himself into a ball, and expressed arrogantly - Who said Lao Tie is afraid, Lao Tie is not afraid!
Fifteen didn't expose it. According to the boss's instructions, he took Lao Tie to inspect the bottom of the cabin, then went into the kitchen to 'steal' the eggs.
Early the next morning, while cooking breakfast, the cook complained to A Yuan: "The fifteen guards must have come to steal eggs again last night. I counted twenty-seven before going to bed, and there are twenty-five left this morning."
Already..."
"Auntie, please stop nagging." Fifteen took out a piece of broken silver from his purse and put it on the stove. "I'll give you some silver. I'll cook two eggs later."
"I don't want your money, and don't harm my eggs. It's not enough for cooking. How can I sell you more?" The cook was also helpless, "If we were on the shore, let alone two, just two.
The basket is also cooked for you."
"Don't worry, you can cook. The ship will dock at Qingzhou Mansion for two hours. I will go ashore to buy you two baskets of eggs." Fifteen had a round face and was easy-going in his words, making it difficult to refuse.
"Don't lie to Auntie. If we don't dock soon, there will be one less dish for lunch." The cook put two eggs in the big pot for steaming buns.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I won't delay your cooking." Fifteen decided on breakfast for Lao Tie and waited for the ship to dock.
Fifteen was actually speechless. Lao Tie was not picky about food. After floating around in the East Pole Sea, he refused to eat fish and shrimps - what could he do? He was also desperate!
A Yuan took breakfast and went upstairs. Mingruo had already washed up and was watching the scenery on the deck.
Although Si Haochen was in the cabin, his eyes never left his wife for a moment.
Chu Yi was reporting on the results of last night's interrogation: "The assassins come from a sect that I have never heard of before. It is said to be called 'Huxiao Villa', which is considered a killer organization. Huxiao Villa is located in Jiufeng Mountain in Yuanzhou and has a hall in Qingzhou.
We received a mission three days ago to sink our ship. The other party offered a price of 300,000 taels. The hall master sent seventeen people here last night. According to him, if they fail the mission, they will send the next batch of killers.
"
Si Haochen narrowed his eyes and couldn't tell for a moment whether the person who paid for the murder was coming for him or the prefect of Xunzhou. No matter what the other party's purpose was, if he dared to make trouble on his head, he couldn't even think of escaping unscathed.
.
"Where is the entrance to the hall?" Si Haochen pressed his fingertips on the table.
"In Qingzhou City's Pomegranate Lane, there is a tavern called 'Wenxianglai'." Chuyi answered.
"I will go in person in a moment." The killer organization, which even Yunyan Pavilion didn't know about, was actually able to receive a deal of 300,000 taels. Either the client is mentally ill, or there is something hidden in "Huxiao Villa".
"Yes." After saying all that should be reported, Chu Yi left the room.
When A Yuan saw that the prince had finished talking about his business, he went in with the food box and put the steamed buns, porridge and two plates of side dishes on the table.
Mingruo also returned to the cabin from the deck and sat down at the table. Si Haochen had just planned to tell Mingruo that he would go out to do something later.
Mingruo was the first to speak: "Take Linglong."
"Okay." The daughter-in-law didn't say not to go, which made the 'wife-slave' prince breathe a sigh of relief.
Linglong flew over with little wings waving: Is Mommy calling the baby?
Mingruo took a piece of lotus pastry from his 'sleeve pocket' and put it on the corner of the table: "Eat it. When you're full, go to work."
Linglong gnawed at the lotus cake and said, "Okay."
After what happened last night, Si Haochen became more and more pleased with the animals he kept at home, including Lao Tie. (Lao Tie: If you are satisfied, just speak up. I thought the snake life was about to end!)
After breakfast, Si Haochen took a few secret guards to Qingzhou City. Since there were important criminals on the ship, except for those who disembarked to purchase, no one else was allowed to disembark at will. Naturally, it was impossible for anyone to board the ship at will.
.
Manager Zhang sent two young boys with quick legs and feet to buy meat, eggs and vegetables. Remembering that Fifteen had just asked to buy two more baskets of eggs, he also told the boys to do it.
The ship docked at the pier. Although they could not get off the ship, several adults and Eunuch Zhang came to the deck and watched the lively scene on the pier.
The two young men quickly purchased everything they needed. There was a lot of food for the 100 people on the ship. There were too many things to carry, so they hired an ox cart to bring them to the dock. Manager Zhang saw the purchased items.
When I arrived, I quickly called the boatman and sailors to move the things.
Mingruo was also bored, leaning on the railing and watching everyone move things. A Yuan helped the cook arrange the food and vegetables she bought, and her natal Gu, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly started to move.
A Yuan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly ran upstairs: "Master, it's not good."
Mingruo couldn't help but become nervous when he saw the usually calm A-Yuan suddenly so panicked: "What's wrong?"
"Master, there are saw-toothed beetles in the food that I just bought." Seeing that his master was confused, Ah Yuan continued to explain, "Saw-toothed beetles, as the name suggests, have very sharp teeth and love to gnaw at wood. When there are many, the trees on the top of a mountain will not need to be eaten.
It can be finished in half a day.”
Mingruo directly understood the 'saw-toothed beetle' as an enhanced version of termites. They were attacked and killed last night, and today they bought food mixed with beetles. If it was a coincidence, she didn't know whether others would believe it or not. Anyway, Mingruo was.
Don't believe it.
Ming Ruolian ordered Xunyi to take people to move all the things that were just moved onto the ship. If Linglong was here, they probably wouldn't need to do anything, and nothing would be easy to use. Now that the professional counterpart is not here, it will be a bit troublesome: "Ah
Yuan, can your natal Gu repel insects?"
"The saw-toothed beetle has basically no spirituality. It can't do anything but eat, so it's difficult to drive." A Yuan felt a little embarrassed, "It doesn't have the huge pressure of Lord Gu Spirit, and those stupid things are not afraid of it..."
