In fact, Hu Xiaotian's worries are unnecessary. Huo Shengnan has led the army in northern Xinjiang to fight against the Black Hu people for many years. He has experienced countless wars, big and small. It can be said that he has been dealing with death all year round. In her opinion, the dead are much safer than the living. The real danger lies in lying down.
Hu Xiaotian next to him, although this guy is not a bad person, he is definitely not a gentleman. He has taken advantage of him all the way. Thinking of this, his pretty face gets a little hot. ↖While Hu Xiaotian is listening to the noise in the cabin next door
, quietly stood up the sword, blocking it between the two of them, and once again drew a clear line with Hu Xiaotian.
Fortunately, Hu Xiaotian was diverted by what happened next door. Although he was not worried about the threat the dead man posed to them, the killer was probably nearby. If it was just a vendetta, there was no need to worry, but if the person who had just sneaked into the cabin next door was
If he is a robber, he will probably continue to sneak into other cabins to commit crimes, so Hu Xiaotian will naturally have to be vigilant.
The two of them had their own thoughts that night, and neither could sleep well until dawn, when they heard a frightened scream coming from next door. Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan sat up at the same time, knowing that what happened in the cabin next door had been revealed.
People discovered it.
The two simply washed up, and soon heard someone knocking on the door. When they opened the door, they saw the captain standing outside, with a look of panic on his face. Seeing that the two were fine, the captain breathed a sigh of relief, and then he
He said with a mournful face: "Something big has happened! Brothers, please come out."
Hu Xiaotian asked knowingly: "What happened?"
The boat owner didn't explain, he just asked them to come out.
The two came to the deck and found that many people had gathered on the deck, whispering in small groups, with expressions on their faces full of fear. Two strong sailors guarded the cabin where the accident occurred.
The owner of the ship told everyone: "There was a murder on the ship last night. For everyone's safety, we need to re-count the number of people on the ship to see if there are any omissions. When we arrive in Wuxing County, we can cooperate with the local government's investigation."
"
Naturally, when there are more people, there will be disagreements. Some people are willing to cooperate, while others protest loudly.
Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan were too lazy to comment. They came to the bow of the ship to enjoy the scenery. They asked the sailors and found out that due to the storm last night, the ship's speed had slowed down a lot. It was originally expected to arrive at Wuxing County at noon, but now it seems that it will not arrive until today.
It was dusk, but the wind had stopped raining since early morning, and the weather was fine.
Hu Xiaotian's eyes wandered around, but he did not see the handsome man and beauty on the deck yesterday. He remembered that they lived next door to him. It seemed that they were the two who died.
After the captain counted the number of passengers, he found that there was one missing passenger, and it was the red-haired man in ragged clothes yesterday.
It was almost certain that the murderer was that person. Huo Shengnan said: "The murderer should have jumped off the ship and escaped after the murder."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's none of your business, just hang it up high." They already have enough things to do, and it's hard to take care of such trivial matters.
After the murder occurred, no one was willing to return to the cabin, and everyone stayed on the deck to chat. The captain had a sad face. Two lives were lost on the ship, and the business would definitely be affected in a short time.
At dusk, the ship finally arrived at Yangjiao Port in Wuxing County. Yangjiao Port is used by both military and civilians. There are three docks for civilian use. The owner of the ship did not have time to dock the ship, so he put down the sampan and let his men go ashore to report. The passengers on the ship had already started to protest. They
Everyone knows that once the government is alerted, everyone will be in trouble. Without some investigation, they will not be able to leave smoothly, and the time will inevitably be delayed. What's more, it has been found that one person is missing on the ship. The murderer should have escaped long ago, leaving them alone
What are these innocent people doing?
The ship owner has no other choice. If the ship docks immediately, I am afraid that the passengers on the ship will no longer be able to control it. If they all leave, how will they explain to the government? Therefore, they can only report to the government first and then dock. Method.
For a moment, the crowd on the deck was excited. All the guests on the merchant ship gathered around the captain and asked for an explanation. The captain begged bitterly: "Dear guests, there was a murder on the ship. The most unlucky one is actually me. I didn't mean to do it." I want to embarrass everyone, but once everyone leaves, I won’t be able to explain it even more clearly. I just ask you to be more patient, and wait until the government investigates clearly, and clears everyone’s name, and also clears my name.”
Someone said angrily: "Why should we be responsible for what happened on your ship?"
"Yes! The murderers have gone away, why did you leave us here?"
"We are Yong people, why do you report to the government of Dakang?"
Seeing the raging crowd, the ship owner was getting out of control. He hurriedly offered to refund everyone's ship fares, and finally calmed down everyone's emotions.
Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan did not join in the fun from beginning to end. It was indeed not easy for the captain. Not only did people die on the ship, but he also had to pay so much money.
At this time, someone said: "The officers and soldiers are coming!"
Everyone looked towards the dock and saw that a team of about twenty people had arrived. The leading general waved to the merchant ship and motioned them to dock the merchant ship.
After the ship docked, the group of people began to investigate each person one by one. Not only were they searched and questioned one by one, but they even looked at the belongings they carried with them.
Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan picked up their luggage and horses, and finally landed ashore. A Dakang soldier pointed at them and said, "Come here!"
The two walked over, and the soldier pointed at the luggage in Hu Xiaotian's hand and said, "Open it and take a look!"
Hu Xiaotian didn't want to reveal his identity now, so as not to cause too much unnecessary trouble. Anyway, he had no suspicion. He put the things on the table and opened the luggage. Huo Shengnan also opened the luggage. There wasn't much, except for the box of ashes which contained some documents, and besides that there was a lot of gold and silver.
Perhaps attracted by the bright gold leaves in the luggage, the general leading the team came over, pointed at the gold and asked: "What do you do with so much gold?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Businessman, you brought the gold here to sell tea in Kangdu."
The general pointed to the big sword behind Hu Xiaotian and said, "Does a businessman carry such a big sword?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Defense yourself!"
The general looked at Hu Xiaotian with suspicion, and his eyes fell on the wooden box containing the ashes: "What's in here?"
"Ashes!"
The general pointed to the urn and said, "Open it!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's better not to disturb the undead."
The general gave Hu Xiaotian a cold look. At this time, a soldier came over and whispered something in his ear. Hu Xiaotian had a keen hearing. The soldier had already basically investigated the situation with the ship owner. The ship owner proved that someone had left midway. Merchant ship, others should not be too suspicious.
In fact, Hu Xiaotian should be able to escape smoothly if he reveals his identity. However, he does not want to create too much noise in the local area. It is best to leave quietly. Being the target of public attention is never a good thing. After hearing what the soldier said, Hu Xiaotian originally I thought the general would let me go, but I didn't expect that the general pointed to the urn and said, "Open it!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I told you that disturbing the undead is not good."
The general sneered: "I can tell at a glance that you are not a good person. You have a sinister look and a treacherous face. If you are either a traitor or a thief!"
Huo Shengnan almost laughed out loud as he listened. Although the general had a bad attitude, the few comments he gave to Hu Xiaotian were very appropriate.
Hu Xiaotian said: "This general is afraid that he has misjudged us. We are well-behaved businessmen."
The general suddenly pulled out his sword from his waist and struck the urn on the table with one strike.
Hu Xiaotian had already sensed the man's intention from his eyes. Before the sword in the general's hand landed on the urn, he punched him in the jaw first. The punch was very powerful. Hu Xiaotian's strength today
Isn't this something that this ordinary lower-level general could bear? He punched the general and sent him flying backwards. The sword in his hand flew out and was about to fall into the crowd, causing a burst of panicked screams.
Huo Shengnan leaped out lightly on his tiptoes and firmly grasped the sword to avoid accidentally injuring innocent people.
At this moment, the general fell to the ground with his back stretched out, his helmet crooked and a cloud of dust stirred up, and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.
Seeing that the situation was not good, a group of soldiers surrounded the two of them in the center with a roar.
Hu Xiaotian calmly put away the urn, and pinched his fingers into the shape of orchid fingers. Coupled with his cold eyes, his whole person became a bit seductive. Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "A group of blind bastards, unexpectedly
The heroic spirit who offended the princess, who is in charge of Wuxing County? Let him come and meet the Zajia!" Seventy percent of Hu Xiaotian's expressions and movements while eating were deliberately imitating Ji Feihua. The most domineering among the eunuchs was Ji Feihua, but Hu Xiaotian's acting skills
It was really good. His arrogant and arrogant aura immediately shocked a group of soldiers. The soldiers looked at each other and couldn't guess his whereabouts for a while.
At this time, a group of knights with bright armor were running towards us in the distance. The leader was a young general with a silver helmet and a spotless white horse. He took the lead and shouted angrily: "Who is making trouble here?"
Hu Xiaotian followed the sound and saw that the general was also looking this way. The two of them were slightly startled when they made eye contact. The young general turned out to be Zhao Wusheng! Hu Xiaotian met him when he was heading to Dayong to cross the Qinglong Bay in Cangmu.
Zhao Wusheng had dealt with him. At that time, Zhao Wusheng also allocated 200 naval troops as a supplement to Wen Boyuan's team, and even arranged a special banquet for him at Phoenix Terrace. Zhao Wusheng was not only the nephew of Navy Admiral Zhao Dengyun, but he was also assigned by Ji Feihua.
Internal response here.
It can be said that he was secretly arranging the accident between two large ships in Yongjiang. Hu Xiaotian did not originally plan to meet this person in Wuxing County. He wanted to leave Wuxing County without attracting too much attention, but he did not expect that because of the murder on the merchant ship, it attracted
There was a turmoil. Compared with Hu Xiaotian's helplessness, Zhao Wusheng was extremely surprised. He never thought that Hu Xiaotian would appear here.
